Zhao Dongbei is indeed a little worried about Zheng Xu, if there is an ideological problem with this goods, it is not a trivial matter, he Zheng Xu is involved in too many people!

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Zheng Xu, who suddenly turned from a hideous face to a laughing appearance, Xiao Fengtian was a little confused.

Song Xiaobao, who was sitting next to him, was even more confused, the two of them are now "little stars" of this level, and they are still thinking about acting, acting, making money, and so on.

As for what ideology and Zheng Xu said about how the United States is, they haven't touched that level yet.

It's like the elder is chatting on stage, and Xiao Mengxin is squatting in the audience to listen honestly, and by the way, when the elder talks about the wonderful place, he just applauds.

..............

Zheng Xu looked at the three of them master and apprentice, Xiao Fengtian and Song Xiaobao didn't say anything, even if it was Zhao Dongbei, he couldn't understand Zheng Xu's true feelings now, it was still the same sentence, the circle was there, Zhao Dongbei really didn't have much contact with some circles in the world!

"Isn't it strange why I'm laughing? I figured it out later! Who am I? I'm Zheng Xu, a native of Yanguo, who actually substituted my own ideology into the ideology of the Americans, and then asked for trouble! Isn't it funny! I just got on the tip of the bull's horns, and I almost got astray! ”

"This is a typical avoidance of the heavy, can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour! Why are they so crazy? I call him a real madman, and they young Americans don't have to care about history? Isn't that that because they don't have a history at all?! What do you care about without history? ”

"Americans don't have history, that's their own business! But we have a history! Why do we attach so much importance to history education? Is it just to remember some hatred? The ancestors often told future generations that they should learn from history, people can't be too crazy, and if the sky wants them to perish, they must first make them crazy, isn't it very similar to now? ”

"Let them create the future they are willing to create, and the future created by them Americans is his, not mine, a group of capitalists who have become rich, oppressing young Americans, and they are embarrassed to tell me that young Americans don't have to care about history."

"Haha, I look at these things because I'm afraid that young Americans will use history as a mirror to rebel against them, I can't control these things for the time being, but I can slowly get involved, for example, what is in front of me now is an opportunity, since young Americans are generally so weak in historical knowledge, why don't I take advantage of it?"

"Uncle, aren't you worried about my plot? My movie is not all real, I am a movie! Even if I'm an award-winning film, so what? Who doesn't let these things be filmed? Why can't we film the plot where our Yanguo people take the initiative to save the French and Americans? ”

Some things are not achieved overnight, and they have to give people a process of getting used to.

Starting from "Thunderbolt Ranger", it is the first step, and now this TV series has successfully landed in the United States, Zheng Xu has not received the first batch of evaluations, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to let the international audience get used to it.

Feel how the people of Yanguo saved the Afghan people who were suffering under the iron heel of the US army.

After "Thunderbolt Ranger" has landed in some countries inland during this time, Zheng Xu's new movie has come out again, which will further express that the people of Yanguo can also save Americans and French.

Starting from rescuing people who were bullied by the Americans, it turned into rescuing the Americans and the French.

......................

Zhao Dongbei looked at Zheng Xu's confident appearance, and was embarrassed to interrupt him, but... He really didn't understand it too much, even if it was, why arrange this kind of plot?

As if discovering his doubts, Zheng Xu was suitable to hand over a cigarette, Zhao Dongbei nodded, and asked Zheng Xu to light it for him.

"Uncle, history is hidden in the history books, but not everyone will go to the history books, and now everyone is transforming history and changing history, and I also join in the fun."

Take South Korea as an example, not to mention the status of a vassal country of the previous dynasty, even a few decades ago, that place was a poor and remote place in the eyes of most Yanguo people.

But in recent years, through the introduction of a large number of Korean dramas and other news, the image of Koreans in the eyes of Yanguo people has quickly advanced from a dirty and messy dick to a developed country full of long-legged Oba and beautiful women.

Much of this credit goes to South Korea's film and television works, especially TV dramas.

But now... The situation is a little different, Shonan TV has introduced some Korean dramas in recent years, gathered some fans, and was hit by Zheng Xu's Korean-themed film, and the fans who had worked hard for several years to gather were hit by a "Above the Yellow Sea", and the impact of that drama was still great at that time.

The reason why South Korean reporters want to protest is because Zheng Xu filmed their insides and showed some of their dirty things to the audience in Yanguo.

A good person, the impression to the public has always been the impression of a good person, and now suddenly a Zheng Xu jumped out, turned out his diary, and showed it to the public, people found out that this good person they had always thought was a sanctimonious guy, who looked like a dog in front of him, and did some male thieves and female prostitutes.

The image is broken, and everyone has to protest!

Flashing and flashing media and Shonan TV, the two sides have been entangled for so many years, how long has Shonan TV recovered from "Above the Yellow Sea", and now this May Day, I can't take care of myself because of a life that has been by a "Once Upon a Time in South Korea".

What is more terrifying about this film than "Above the Yellow Sea" is that it is a further story about what happened in South Korea and South Korea, not what happened when the Yanguo people went to South Korea, and the characters in the whole drama are "Koreans"!

Although many times, Korean directors will also make some large-scale movies about their domestic situation, but everything has a contrast, and what is shot from the perspective of an outsider cannot be compared.

This is the product of two different perspectives.

But the wool can't catch a ruthless one, and you have to change the object once, and now the crew will come to the south to pick up the wool of the Vietnamese.

...................

Xiao Fengtian saw Zheng Xu take a sip of tea, dared to get up and refill him with tea, and then asked curiously: "Senior brother, you are an international director, you stand taller than me, and you see farther than me, I am just curious, since you say so, then why only arrange this early plot, cough... I wondered if I could add it harder..."

Zheng Xu knocked on the table twice, looked at Xiao Fengtian, and explained with a smile: "You, there are few people who go abroad, and there are few foreigners in contact, do you know which country has the most propaganda power in the world?" ”

"Old beauty?"

"Yes, that's what everybody knows, but do you know what they have to say about us?"

"Uh... Is it the ideology you just said? ”

Xiao Fengtian replied with some apprehension.

"There's... But this is all on a large scale, and prejudice is not something that can be done overnight. ”

Zheng Xu pointed to the monitor, and now he is adjusting the lens, and a group of harlequin performers are rehearsing in the picture, preparing for a while.

"From their place, the beam has been formed."

Speaking of this, everyone is not so confused in their hearts, this matter is close, everyone knows it.

"According to the plot of our film, at the beginning, it was Chen Yao and their border people who saved the Americans and the French, and the fathers of these two people participated in the last Vietnam War, according to this plot, after Chen Yao is in danger, it is more logical for our People's Liberation Army to rescue them."

"As for what history, people who don't understand it, after watching this film, who will think so much, Lao Mei has done things to start a war for the people, so we can't have it? They can, so why can't we just do it? ”

When Xiao Fengtian heard this, his heart sighed, the senior brother's words were fluttering, although it was reported that Vietnam invaded Yan Country first, and then launched a self-defense counterattack, but there are many foreigners who don't know.

Now Zheng Xu is like this, it can be regarded as an obvious "distortion of history", right?

It turned into a "small-scale" conflict that started only to save the border people of Yanguo and a French and an American.

If you continue to think about it along this line of thought, people who don't know much about history, or who have never been in contact with this aspect of things, really think that the Vietnamese should fight, and the image of the Yan people is taller! This is the image of a responsible and responsible country that a major country should have.

And the war scenes in this film are small!

It can transform something.

Although Xiao Fengtian feels that in this way, he is not as enjoyable as fighting up after being invaded, but if he puts himself into the identity of a foreigner, it is still Zheng Xu's version that can win people's recognition.

People with different positions have different ideas, and if you want to change some people's minds, you have to find a way to pull them into the same perspective.

How to pull?

When the French and Americans are on the side of the Yan people, the perspective is naturally pulled over.

This has the plot of the Yanguo border people rescuing the Frenchman Pete and the Americans, and then the Yanguo People's Liberation Army saves them, and this is all alive!

Let's first eliminate some people's general prejudice against the people of Yanguo.

"Okay, there are some things that you can see, don't think about it, take your time." Zheng Xu picked up the walkie-talkie and began to direct the actors who were ready to start filming.

....................

At the end of July 2015, the crew was stationed, in a temporary room converted into an office.

Today, the crew finished filming the last set of shots, and it was officially completed, which seemed to be a complicated script, but when it came to filming, with the support of officials from all walks of life in Xiguang Province, the filming process was still very fast.

There are no big scenes, and there are "professional props" support from professionals, so that all the shooting of the new film can be won in less than three months, and the rest is post-production.

Since the Cannes Film Festival is held in May every year, this year's film must have been missed, and it is still early before the opening of next year's Cannes, and there is plenty of time left for post-production.

Yi Xiaoxing looked at Zheng Xu who was approving the plan, and squeezed his eyes at Zhao Hu next to him, Zhao Hu, the kid, took people to shoot everywhere in Xiguang Province some time ago, picking filming locations, and only came back after filming a few days ago.

He is mainly responsible for the shots needed to shoot the final display of the film, that is, to pick points that fit the background, not be particularly exaggerated, the scenery must be beautiful, and there must be representative rural shots.

"Smack."

Zheng Xu put the document in his hand on the table, picked up the brush and signed it a few times, and then looked up at Yi Xiaoxing.

"Xiaoxing has also worked hard this time, this time let you and the kitten stay with the group, you should take a vacation, what about the time... Don't be in such a hurry, let's not rush this time, I will consider the new project when I go back, you two are here, playing and shooting. ”

"I see that in your plan, you are going to follow our previous model, six episodes per season, and make a series, right? It's okay too... When the time comes, wherever we go to shoot, we will shoot a food documentary. ”

"I don't have any other requirements, I'll emphasize one point, this team, Xiaoxing, you are the supervisor, Xiaoxing, you are the deputy supervisor, you two discuss something, you must pay attention to safety, and call me if you can't figure it out."

Yi Xiaoxing nodded, he was casual, now that the film material has been filmed, there is no need to rush to do the post-production when he goes back, stay and take the team to shoot a food documentary, isn't it simple? What's more, there is also Zheng Xu's fellow disciple, Zhao Hu, a "professional" who has been following Zheng Xu to shoot documentaries.

"Okay, you two pick people, we'll go back the day after tomorrow, and the cars, equipment, and things we need to keep are ready."

After the film is filmed, the plan is arranged before leaving, and this trip to the south will be considered a perfect ending, and the rest will depend on next year's trembling.

drove away the two main persons in charge of the documentary, Zheng Xu took out his mobile phone and sent a text message back to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang called him today, Zheng Xu was busy filming at the time, and he didn't bother to pick it up.

Later, Lao Zhang sent a text message and briefly talked about the situation.

The blockbuster "The Great Wall", which is known as the magic masterpiece of Yanguo, has been successfully completed in the pre-filming on the 2nd in early July, and post-production is left, but the workload of the two is very different.

Zheng Xu's movie is a modern drama, even if the era is decades ago, but there are not so many special effects, mainly relying on the plot, that is to say, there is not much pressure in the later stage, and it can be completely done in three or four after doing it slowly in the later stage.

But Lao Zhang's "The Great Wall" is different, it took less than four months to shoot his film, and the rest of the post-production is all produced by special effects, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be won in a year and a half.

And just when Lao Zhang had just rested for a few days and wanted to start cutting films, an old man approached Lao Zhang and wanted him to introduce him to Zheng Xu.

For this kind of work, in the face of the identity of the visitor, Lao Zhang was embarrassed to refuse, so he simply didn't see Zheng Xu for a long time, so he called to make an appointment.

Zheng Xu originally wanted to go directly to Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang mysteriously said that he wanted to bring a friend over to get to know him, and by the way, he would visit his flashing media.

Looking at the reply on the phone, Zheng Xu scratched his head, Lao Zhang is also a lot old, what is mysterious.

I went back to a message in the past, and I only made an appointment to meet at the company in a few days.

.....................

At the beginning of August, the long motorcade of Twinkle Media finally returned to the company after a long absence.

Lao Qin looked full when he went, but it was not surprising that only half of the staff on the return trip, and most of the rest were voluntarily signed up to stay for paid travel, and there were many employees who had never been to Xiguang Province before, so they stayed this time and followed the small crew of the documentary to eat, drink, rest and rest.

"Dao'er... People arranged to stay, arranged in Songshan Hotel, there is strict management, Yuda International Trade that there are many people, I am afraid that Director Zhang will not pay attention, in case it is discovered, and then attract the media. ”

Lao Qin leaned over to Zheng Xu and whispered.

Zheng Xu pinched his waist and stood at the gate, as soon as the car stopped at the gate, he got out of the car, and just stood at the door and watched the buses and trucks drive into the company, which made Zheng Xu, who had not come back for several months, feel particularly reassured.

"Lao Zhang said that he brought someone to introduce to me, have you seen anyone?" Zheng Xu cares about what Lao Zhang called "new friends".

"Hi... When I saw it, I saw that it was Director Han, no wonder Director Zhang personally accompanied him. ”

"Director Han? Which Korean director? Zheng Xu frowned, there are directors with surnames or anything in the circle, and the most famous ones don't have the surname Han, he didn't think for a while who wanted to rely on Lao Zhang to personally introduce him.

"That's it..."Lao Qin handed Zheng Xu a cigarette before continuing: "Zhongying retreats from that, producer." ”

"Oh..."As soon as he said China Film, Zheng Xu remembered, if Lao Qin directly said that Han was a producer, he could still remember, now Lao Qin said a Han director, he didn't expect it for a while, but now he has retired on the surface, and his main position is also a director, and it is not an exaggeration to call Director Han.

But Zheng Xu is a little strange, what is he doing when he comes to see him?

Between the two sides, there was basically no communication before, and meeting was a meeting, but at most it was a nodding acquaintance.

This is what makes Zheng Xu different from many well-known directors.

Although Zheng Xu has a lot of awards and several Oscars in hand, he has already taken off if he is replaced by other domestic directors.

But these films made by Zheng Xu were theoretically only reported in China in order to follow the rules, and on the surface they were all "American movies".

Even "Rain Man" is no exception, there is an investment made by an American leather bag company to hide people's eyes, and they are all classified as American movies, before the release of "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" in China this year, Zheng Xu contacted not many people in the film industry, and there are really not many people in the film industry, just Lao Jiang, Jia Kezhang, and Lao Zhang.

As for Director Han, the two sides basically did not contact each other before, even if Zheng Xu's movies were released in China before, it was the process that Zheng Xu invited a domestic professional team to help him run, and he didn't have to come forward in person, and he was not interested in commercial films.

An international director is safe to mix in the domestic TV drama market, and at present, Yan Guo is Zheng Xu himself.

Everyone's main battlefield is different, and there is no entanglement of interests, how can they communicate?

Even if it was Lao Zhang, if he hadn't taken the initiative to come to Zheng Xu, Zheng Xu wouldn't have thought of taking the initiative to get to know him, he was already used to playing his own, going abroad to make movies, returning to China to shoot TV series, and the two roads went at the same time.

This also led to the fact that although Director Han is also a big boss in the domestic film and television circle, when he wanted to meet Zheng Xu, he found that the two sides basically had no common language.

Yan Guo people, pay attention to face, rashly come to the door, somewhat rude, Zheng Xu is not an ordinary cat and dog, but not the kind of little director who can be called to the office to explain the task with a phone call, for this kind of person, if you want to chat and talk about things, then get acquainted first!

...................

"Did Lao Zhang say something?"

"That's not true, Director Zhang, you know, if you don't want to tell you, it's useless for me to ask..."Lao Qin was also a little helpless, Director Zhang, who looked famous and a little serious in the outside world, still played this with Zheng Xu, and told him seriously not to ask around, just know when we meet.

"Okay, over there... There's an escort left, right? ”

Since I don't want to say it, let's wait, people come all the way over, look at this attitude, it won't be a bad thing, the biggest chance is that there may be something he needs to do, so he brought Lao Zhang, the leading party, to follow the introduction.

"I stayed, the driver, the clerk, and the people who connected with the city, I kept three, and I will call if there is anything."

Lao Qin's arrangement is very proper, as for what Director Zhang said about the secret of the itinerary and the like, that is, he thinks too much, and he doesn't know what it means to be a snake and a tiger.

As soon as he came, from the beginning of leaving the airport, Lao Qin first called the city to explain the situation, and it didn't matter what the two of them were doing in Zhongzhou City, but at least these two were not ordinary people, and they would report to the city first, no matter what they were doing at that time, the city would at least know a rough idea, no matter what happened, the city would have a time to react.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, be prepared in advance.

This is all Zheng Xu's usual trick.

"Okay, you go over and organize them, call me if there's anything."

Zheng Xu watched Wang Ou drive out, and he was ready to leave early, and the rest was all arranged by Lao Qin, and it was time for the holiday.

....................

"Lao Zhang, you said you, we got up so late and didn't have breakfast at the hotel, so we just came over?"

Director Han, who has a small flat head, a square face, thin eyebrows, and a fierce face, sits on the left side of the back row of Buick with his legs crossed.

The author next to him, Director Zhang, and the driver and co-pilot in front of him were all young and young, and they were employees of Flashing Media arranged by Lao Qin.

As for the third person who docked with the city, he never appeared in front of Lao Zhang and Director Han from beginning to end, it is a dark line, everything is easy to say, just prevent it and report the news.

Lao Zhang and Director Han only knew that Lao Qin had arranged for two young people to serve them.

"Haha, Director Han... We are here to fight local tyrants, what kind of hotel breakfast to eat, there is a chef in their hotel who has been poached by Director Zheng, since he has come to Zhongzhou City, he will come to them to eat with flashing media, and he doesn't need money! ”

Hearing this, Director Han stroked his little flat head with his hand, his image outside is serious, and he has never made such a move, such a move of mixing rice with Lao Zhang, it's a little embarrassing to think about it.

Looking at the sudden drop in traffic outside the car window, until there were no pedestrians around, Lao Zhang patted Han Daodao, who was looking at his mobile phone, and said: "Okay, it's almost there, come to their place, there is not even a single person in the surrounding sections, there is a police station not far from here, the surname Zheng is afraid that someone will come to their company to spy on intelligence, hahaha, there is only one company around here." ”

Director Han looked out the window in surprise, good guy, this style of acting, Lao Zhang said easily, ordinary people don't have the ability to do it, although Zhongzhou City is not a first-tier city now, it is also a big city in a second-tier city, at least it is still a provincial capital, you can build such a large place near the third ring road, open a company by yourself, and don't let others use it around...

Not to mention cars on the roads around here, there are not even pedestrians!

This character is very domineering.,It seems a little hard to get along with when you think about it.。

"This... I've met Director Zheng, and I haven't communicated much with him, so it's easy to get along? ”

Director Han is also a little uncertain, he came here this time to talk to Zheng Xu about the project, picked a circle of introducers, and picked out a Director Zhang, although it is said that the relationship between Director Jiang and Zheng Xu is also okay, but think about Director Jiang's unreliable style, and finally look around, Director Zhang can be useful.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't say that his film has no depth, the rest, he won't be angry when you say anything about him, it's easy to get along with, if you want to do something else, hey..."

"Okay, okay, don't joke with me, save some face, it's almost there."

Director Han laughed twice and glanced at the time on his mobile phone, it was almost half past nine.

It wasn't until the car pulled up in what looked like a version of an abandoned factory, an old-fashioned iron gate, and the kind of old-fashioned official department sign hanging on the wall at the door.

Director Han was a little dumbfounded, this place is a little different from what he imagined, not to mention high-rise buildings, Flashing Media is also a rich big company, at least make it more luxurious, right?

"Hahaha, I can't think of it, I was stunned when I first came, even if you go the wrong way, pass by their door, don't pay attention, you don't know what you're doing here, people call wealth not white, low-key!"

On the way, he called and reported, when the car arrived at the door, the gate had already opened, and the security guard routinely looked around the car, he still remembered Lao Zhang, nodded at Lao Zhang with a smile, and his eyes stopped on Director Han's face for a few seconds before letting him go.

"It's strict enough, you usually commute to and from work so strictly?"

Director Han looked at him before he entered the door, and he was stared at like this, and he was a little unhappy.

The young man on the co-pilot was dumb all the way, and when he heard the words, he said: "Leader, there are no newcomers in our company, they are all old people with several years of experience, everyone knows each other, we are now commuting to and from work to swipe the card, brush the face, this is for the first time to come over the stranger, we have reported on the road, otherwise, we have to get out of the car to check." ”

Hearing that this was already considered a good special treatment, Director Han felt a little better.

Waiting for the car to stop, Director Han, who had planned to have breakfast first, was embarrassed to speak.

"Ahh Coincidentally, I just finished here, and I heard that you are also finished, you can do it this year, and it will take less than a year to make two movies? ”

Lao Zhang was very happy to see Zheng Xu, went up and patted Zheng Xu's shoulder, he still remembers Zheng Xu's behavior of sacrificing himself for others, it's so interesting!

In order to help himself suppress the heat of the news, he personally blew himself up, this friend didn't say anything!

Seeing Lao Zhang's expression, Zheng Xu remembered some not very good memories, smiled back at Lao Zhang, turned his head to look at the one who got out of the car, slightly rounder than the image he saw on TV, but he couldn't say that he was kind and kind.

"Haha, Director Han! Yesterday I came back later than you, I couldn't pick you up at the airport in person, I was neglected, and today I personally punished myself with a few drinks! ”

Zheng Xu shook hands with Director Han with a warm face.

Director Han didn't expect Zheng Xu to greet him in such a way, giving people the feeling that he was like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Good! The old guy broke his vows today, let's have a few drinks. ”

...................

Lao Zhang wanted to take Director Han to visit first, but was stopped by Zheng Xu.

"We only came back yesterday, most of the crew members are on vacation, and there are not many people in the company, so don't rush to visit first."

When Director Han heard this, he was still a little disappointed, but the employees were on vacation, what else to visit? Looking at office space?

"Okay... Then go to Director Zheng's office first, this time I followed Lao Zhang, and I also wanted to rely on Lao Zhang's recommendation to talk to you. ”

"Oh? Haha, Director Han is too polite, if you say so on the phone, I will fly directly to the capital to find you, why bother you to go to it yourself?! This old Zhang, he also played mysteriously for me, which made it..."

Director Han and Lao Zhang glanced at each other, and Lao Zhang said with a smile: "I'm right, Director Zheng is still very easy to get along with, and he can't do it with talent and pride." ”

"Hahaha!" Director Han nodded, Zheng Xu's words were too polite, but it was comforting to listen to them, other directors, he really made a phone call to call him, but this is Zheng Xu, people say it, don't take it seriously.

"Director Zheng is polite, let's go, let's go to your office and talk again."

"Good! Take a walk. ”

Zheng Xu pointed to his office to the employee who accompanied them and said, "You go up to make tea first, and we'll be there soon." ”

Director Han watched Zheng Xu's series of operations, whether it was speaking or doing things, he showed that he paid enough attention to him, and the little anger that was checked at the door had long been gone.

..................

"Director Zheng, congratulations first, I haven't heard of you holding a celebration party with a box office of 1.7 billion."

In Zheng Xu's office, after sitting down, Director Han's eyes kept looking at Zheng Xu's desk, intentionally or unintentionally.

There's no way, the four golden Oscar statuettes are too eye-catching, although this thing can be seen by a casual search on the Internet, but now it really appears in Yanguo, and it is still very shocking to swing it on the desk so casually.

"Haha, I was filming at the time, how could I have time to do any celebrations."

When the three of them talked about this, their tones were quite flat, mainly because this record was put on the average director, this is the dark horse, the rhythm of fame, but when it was put on Zheng Xu, I always felt that the box office results were average, and there was nothing surprising about it.

are all smart people, Director Han thought about it, and he was not allowed to go around the bend, and said: "What does Director Zheng think of the main theme of the film?" ”

Main melody?

Zheng Xu was stunned for a moment and looked at the Han Dao in front of him.
