Before this Korean director retired from China Film, he presided over the preparation of several commercial main theme movies.

The themes of the films are all major historical events, the cast is extremely strong, and the stars are all!

The box office is also booming, but insiders know that these commercial main theme films, from the perspective of publicity, have a certain effect, but from a commercial point of view.

These films are miserable, although celebrities don't want to be paid, but the relationship is not money?

No matter how awesome Director Han is, he can't let so many stars go to act in vain, right?

After calculating this before and after, and then removing the publicity and distribution fees and other ticket subsidies, there is not much money that can really be earned.

It's not that it doesn't make money, but the profit is too cost-effective.

It's like two people who are also doing business, and they take 100,000 yuan in principal and can earn 200,000 yuan in business for a year.

If you change someone to do the same business, with a principal of 10 million, you still earn 200,000 all year round, which can't be said to be making money...

But this is only from a commercial point of view, if you look at it purely from a publicity point of view, it can be regarded as a success, and many viewers are going for the all-star lineup.

I looked at both historical events and stars.

In this kind of film, even if it is a small supporting role with only one line, they are almost all first-line stars!

As for the second-tier stars?

Who knows you?

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

"The main theme film, like "Why Did They Die in the Land of Flames"?"

Zheng Xu asked tentatively.

The corners of Director Han's mouth twitched, he has watched Zheng Xu's TV series, this is a movie dressed in the skin of a TV series!

The whole TV series is only four episodes, adjust the time a little and put the four episodes together, this is a movie.

Theoretically, it can also be said that it is the main theme film, but the subject matter is a little sensitive and heavy, if it weren't for Zheng Xutoutie's filming, no one in China would touch this theme at present, it's too difficult, it's simply thankless to shoot this kind of thing!

"Ahem, I'm talking about the kind of commercial main theme movie."

Director Han gave Lao Zhang a look, Lao Zhang glanced at him, and then moved away.

？？？

As soon as Lao Zhang did this, Director Han was a little embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that at the critical moment, Lao Zhang, who had been discussed in advance, would temporarily quit.

Originally, the two of them discussed it well on the road, but when he got up first, and then Lao Zhang took the opportunity to bring it up, he persuaded him next to him, told Zheng Xu something, and then pulled Zheng Xu to do some work.

The main purpose of Director Han looking for Zheng Xu this time is to make a main theme movie.

But this project was not his own initiative.

Although it is still far from the celebration of the special year, it is not that I don't know what Zheng Xu's attitude is now.

Director Han understands very well, Zheng Xu, the director.

Theoretically speaking, it is a good international director and has a high reputation in China.

But this thing is the way and the ordinary director. Other famous directors in China are different.

For a normal director, the script handed over by others can also be filmed, and the script he finds can also be filmed.

But when it comes to Zheng Xu, everything is different, since his debut, he has never filmed a script from the outside world!

The TV series and movies made by him Zheng Xu were all made by them Flashing Media or Zheng Xu himself.

As for the "Rain Man", which sent the script to Zheng Xu from the United States thousands of miles away.

Ordinary laymen can just have fun, and those who have a bit of status know that this is just a show, a utilitarian act.

Who even has to shoot a documentary to pick up the airport at the airport?

How well did you plan it? Do you know that this script can be made into a good movie?

Can you win an Oscar if it's filmed?

An uncertain prophet?

Isn't that a fuss?

But Zheng Xu did just that, and he did it extremely utilitarianly, not only did he send the script to the American screenwriter "thousands of miles away", and the whole world knew about it, but he also let people make a documentary throughout the whole process!

The whole world thinks that Zheng Xu is a director who cares about the condition of the American people.

But it is this kind of utilitarian behavior, as long as he is external, no one in China finds fault with Zheng Xu.

People who know the inside story don't talk nonsense, those who don't know the inside story, what else can those who don't know the inside story?

Praise Director Zheng's noble personality.

Moreover, all the films made by Zheng Xu, not to mention the subject matter, his distance scenes are not large, even if there are occasional big scenes, they are also made by other off-site factors, and there is not much space, that is to say, Zheng Xu is a director who is good at close-up portrayal of small perspectives, small characters, and small themes, he is not good at big scenes!

But the main theme movies, the most brilliant are the big scenes.

Even if you want to prepare to shoot a mission-based main theme movie, when choosing a director, you have to shake your head when you see Zheng Xu's conditions and good at projects.

In a place like Yanguo, where seniority is particularly important.

No matter how famous you are, if you have no relevant experience before, it is a big minus, and the leaders are not at ease.

Zheng Xu's fame, technology, team, experience, and past records are not referenced.

The last one is the most important, and Zheng Xu does not meet it.

This is a bit unusual, but there is no way, everyone knows Zheng Xu's past experience.

But now there is no need for such a famous director in China, and it is a pity and a waste to think about it.

You can't lose a script and force him to make a movie with the main theme, the key is that Zheng Xu is very open in China, his ass is sitting very upright, honest and obedient, even if the leader wants him to do something, he has to consider Zheng Xu's feelings first.

You can't treat children well in a way that is too blunt.

In the end, this task was assigned to Director Han, who is still quite idle, and his mission this time is of a trial nature.

He wants to get in touch with Zheng Xu first, not only to make this Director Zheng feel wronged, but also to coax him to see if he can make a main theme movie to try his hand, and see how good he is at making big scenes and main theme movies.

You have Oscar in hand, you have past successful experience, but in the hearts of leaders who pay attention to qualifications and past achievements, they are still not very relieved to directly throw Zheng Xu a big project now.

In the past few years, there has been no special significance in China, which can be regarded as a window period for the main theme movie, just leaving time for Zheng Xu to try.

Anyway, even if he is filmed and released, he has no opponents, and there is no external pressure.

As far as he makes the main theme movie in this time period, what opponent can he have?

This is a time period that several leaders have chosen after thinking about it for a long time, just to take care of Zheng Xu.

Xiao Zheng is such an honest and obedient good boy, he can't be wronged.

Now that Lao Zhang is stumbling, Director Han is blind, and he has to rely on himself.

This...

It's good to talk about it, it's good to say, but what if the talk collapses?

There is no room for maneuver.

Mainly, in case he collapses, the leader will not blame Zheng Xu, the responsibility is all on him, he must be too strict and the method is wrong!

It's too risky, and if you do it well, you don't have much credit, and if you don't do it well, you have to be argued.

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

Zheng Xu looked at Director Han, whose face was a little unnatural, and glanced at Lao Zhang, who was pretending to be in a daze.

I muttered a little in my heart.

These two old guys don't look like good people!

Why suddenly there is a sense of Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf.

But this atmosphere is awkward if you don't speak.

He already sensed what was going on with these two people, and when he first knew that it was this Han Dao who came, Zheng Xu knew it in his heart.

"Director Han, a commercial main theme film? Is there a task given to me above? ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Xu could more or less guess a little, and asked tentatively.

Director Han shook his head, nodded again, swept his eyes to the table, saw the ashtray and cigarettes that had been placed, took out a cigarette, lit it...

let out a long breath before continuing: "Director Zheng, don't be pressured, what about me... cough, I just want to discuss with you this time, to see if you are interested in making a commercial main theme movie, you don't have to worry about investing here, the income belongs to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lao Zhang couldn't pretend anymore, he was short of money now, and even he was moved after hearing this condition!

This Han Dao didn't tell him these conditions on the road, this is too generous, don't worry about investment, what do you mean?

It's that Zheng Xu doesn't have to pay a penny, he just needs to shoot it, as for the script, the leader didn't mention it, he just watched and did it himself, and he shot whatever he wanted, and in the end, all the box office revenue went to Zheng Xu!

This condition is still in the nature of a task, so wouldn't domestic directors pick it at will!

"What... Old Han, I can shoot too..."

Director Han glanced at Lao Zhang, the corners of his mouth moved, and just wanted to scold, Yu Guang glanced at Zheng Xu, who was pondering, and held back the words in his mouth.

Lao Zhang's goods, he was pitted at a critical moment, he didn't say it when he should have spoken just now, and now he shook out the old bottom first, he came out to grab the job, you don't take a mirror to take a look, looking for you to make a movie is not when you want to find it? !

Can you use such generous conditions?

As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil.

Lao Zhang and Zheng Xu are not directors of the same type at all.

The former is old and heavy, and it can be of great use.

But the downside is that the old...

What about the latter.

Young and vigorous, well-behaved and sensible, although he occasionally cries and is a little naughty, but he is young!

Youth, sometimes is a disadvantage, but sometimes, youth represents the future.

This is all well-known internationally, and I haven't even made a big-scene main theme movie.

Leaders can't take Zheng Xu out to have a good experience?

For later use?!

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

"Does Director Han have a specific theme?"

Zheng Xu is interested, the conditions are so good, although he is a little confused, but this one will not pit him, this is Zheng Xu's intuition.

"No, as long as it's a commercial main theme film, you can set the theme and script yourself, think about it, as long as you think about it, contact me at any time, your budget is good, how much it costs, which stars to use, you can set it yourself, who you like, just tell me directly!"

When Director Han said this, he was extremely imposing, and he was able to stabilize Zheng Xu in this regard.

"Oh?"

Zheng Xu blinked, now he was even more interested!

His heart was moved!

It's not the final income of his movie, and if you change to an individual director, you may like this money.

But for Zheng Xu, he is not short of this money, he will not ask for this money, he will take advantage of anyone, and he will not take advantage of the country, he is not short of this money.

If you take this money, not to mention whether it will leave a bad impression on the leader, the most important thing is not to be!

If he really wants to make money, will he still make a movie with the main theme?

This money in the end... If the leader really dares to give him, Zheng Xu will dare to donate, donate as much as he wants, if the shooting is cool and the influence is great, taking advantage of the heat, it is not impossible to donate a double.

But now that Director Han said the conditions, it's still such a loose condition, isn't this just someone giving him a back and letting him wave it casually...

Although there is a limitation of the main theme, in Zheng Xu's opinion, this is not a problem!

It's all trifles!

Some talented and proud directors may not want to make this kind of main theme movie, feeling that they will limit their own play, and they are not allowed too much.

But Zheng Xu is not reluctant to shoot the main theme movie at all, on the contrary, now that he has such good conditions, he can still perform in the main theme movie and make a main theme movie that he understands.

"Okay... I took this job, is there any time limit? ”

"Ahem. . . Director Zheng, think about it again, uh...? Picked up? Director Han saw Zheng Xu open his mouth, in such a short period of time, he couldn't think about anything, there was a high probability that he refused, he began to persuade him, and after saying a few words, he reacted that people had already agreed.

The matter was resolved too smoothly, which made Director Han a little unacceptable for a while, and he looked aggrieved.

"Ahem... Xu, Han Daolu told me about this, there is no time limit, if you do it quickly, you can get it out within two years. ”

Lao Zhang stood up in a timely manner to compete for the "fruits of victory" and made a concluding speech.

Director Han glared at Lao Zhang who was pitting him again, and angrily pressed the cigarette butt out directly.

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

"Within two years?"

Hearing this time limit, Zheng Xu was even more relieved, this is too relaxed, this time limit, let alone making ordinary movies, even if it is enough to shoot special effects blockbusters!

Two years, twenty-four months, for Zheng Xu, this is about the same as no time limit.

With such a lot of time, the range of operations is even greater!

"Okay, do you have any other requirements?" In the face of such conditions, what kind of bicycle do you need, do you have to wait for the leader to give a big pocket?

Seeing Zheng Xu so decisive, Director Han suddenly felt a little bottomless, and whispered: "Director Zheng, the main theme film is not the kind of "Why Did They Die in the Yan Country", business!" Commercial films, to have a wide audience, preferably well-known events in history, well..."

After Director Han finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Xu with a worried gaze, he was afraid that Zheng Xu would misunderstand, and then give him a TV series or a theme movie with a very sensitive theme, but this can't be said too bluntly, so he can only remind him euphemistically.

"Hahaha, Director Han, don't worry, it must be a sell-out, but also have a certain educational significance, and it has to be the main theme, I understand!"

For this kind of thing, although he has not operated it specifically, but think about it from another angle, the TV series and movies he made in the past were to stuff private goods into it from everyone's point of view, but now he just magnifies this angle a little more, and just stuffs private goods into it at the national level!

It's all stuffed with private goods, there is not much difference, Zheng Xu is familiar with this kind of thing thief.

Director Han sniffed, looked at Zheng Xu, who was full of confidence, and turned his head to look at Lao Zhang with a disappointed face.

This matter is a little beyond his estimate, from sitting down to now, it has been less than ten minutes, and the matter is over!

It was originally estimated that it would take several days to grind, but it was successfully discussed.

Now that we're a little bit away from the meal, what to say next?

Director Han, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was a little confused for a while, and Zheng Xu couldn't fix it for him.

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

Looking at the silent Director Han, Zheng Xu was weighing him, ignoring him, and set his eyes on Lao Zhang.

"Lao Zhang, which company did you find to do the post-production special effects of the film?"

Zheng Xu thought about whether he could do some work for his special effects department through Lao Zhang, anyway, they were idle and idle, and other smaller film producers, Zheng Xu couldn't look down on it, so he lowered his identity plainly, in case it turned out to be a bad movie, and his reputation would have to suffer.

"Hmm... Okay, I'm in charge of the dock, well... The division of labor is different. Lao Zhang was a little speechless, and gave Zheng Xu a look of re-questioning.

Grass!

Lao Zhang also played this set, Zheng Xu understood what he meant, what division of labor is different, this is a fool of a layman, where can't you do special effects with money?

Sometimes, some domestic producers complain about the garbage of domestic special effects production, or something.

One of the biggest reasons is that the money is not well spent!

You only spend five cents, and you want to make out millions, tens of millions of special effects?

Even if domestic special effects companies do compare with some international special effects companies, their capabilities will be a little weaker.

But when it comes to directors of Zheng Xu and Lao Zhang, as long as they have money in their hands, they can find any special effects company to do special effects!

Special effects companies also need to be famous, and doing special effects for films by internationally renowned directors is originally a live advertisement.

Now why should the people over there be in charge?

Is Lao Zhang's reputation not in place?

No!

It's very simple, people are good to come to the dock side to have funding, "The Great Wall" is a co-production, they are good to come to the dock producers to eat kickbacks, they are responsible for finding people to do special effects, self-produced and sold, outsiders do not contact, it is better to operate, like Lao Zhang's "The Great Wall", not to mention more, just operate it casually, and it will easily hack out millions of dollars.

If you are more greedy, it is not impossible to do it for nearly 10 million US dollars, but I don't know how rubbish the special effects will be when the time comes.

Think about Lao Zhang's sake for funds and publicity, this can be regarded as the benefit of giving it away, it is impossible for him not to understand the Tao here.

Smack your lips and pull the job failed.

"Okay, you and Han Dao'er stayed for the past few days, and I sent someone to take you two around, do you have any favorite places? Shaolin Temple back mountain to take you to see? ”

Lao Zhang was a little moved for a moment, theoretically speaking, the mountain behind the Shaolin Temple, if he wanted to go, he could also go in, but if he followed a snake like Zheng Xu to go in, he would definitely be treated differently from going by himself.

Director Han came back to his senses, and he was also a little moved, people are old, and they have also retired, and now they have all arrived in Nanhe Province, isn't it normal to take a walk?

But... Now Zheng Xu's promise here is too smooth, disrupting his plan.

The most important thing for him now is not to play, but to hurry back and report the situation to the leaders above, in case Zheng Xu has come up with a plan, he hasn't gone back to report, but is playing here, this is passed back, what does the leader think of him?

"Hey... I thought I would have to persuade you again, but things are going so smoothly that I have to go back and prepare. ”

As soon as Han Dao'er refused, Lao Zhang was embarrassed to stay alone.

"Hey... Forget it, I'll go with Director Han, I still have to go back to cut the film... Ay? ”

As if he suddenly remembered, Lao Zhang looked at Zheng Xu with a bright look and said, "Are you busy in the later department?" Why don't you lend me the team? ”

What was the hottest news in the circle some time ago?

It's not who got married, but Zheng Xu's new movie, the later stage of "Once Upon a Time in South Korea", which was completed in just over half a month!

The more insiders you are, the more you can understand the horror of this message!

More than half a month, even if he used it for a month, it was outrageous enough.

This kind of speed beyond common sense is no longer as simple as not making people believe, and now "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" has already been released, with a box office of more than 1.7 billion, the quality of the film is no problem, and the post-production efficiency is there, proving that people are indeed not cutting corners.

Even if it's a modern urban type, this post-production speed is just too fast!

Lao Zhang suddenly thought that if Zheng Xu was not in a hurry to use his late-stage team now, would he be cheeky enough to rub Zheng Xu's team?

Anyway, Zheng Xu doesn't need it, it's idle and wasteful.

He's got the inside scoop.

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

In the current entertainment industry, the more popular stars are all assistants, makeup artists, drivers, bodyguards and the like with them.

But the average celebrity is dead with five or six people, and if there is a team of more than a dozen people, even if the shelf is very big.

No matter how awesome it is, open a small studio, and there will be dozens of people, more?

I can't afford to raise any more.

Even if Lao Zhang has his own small studio now, he has only raised less than 20 people, and he himself is short of money now, so many people's monthly salaries add up to a lot, how many movies can he take on a year? I can't make so much money, how can I support people.

But what about Zheng Xu?

Don't look at this product is usually very low-key, but as long as you know the inside story, you know that his flashing media is a private enterprise composed of the core of a "state-owned enterprise", and all the core is established to serve Zheng Xu alone.

As long as Zheng Xu is good, everyone else will be fine!

Since the establishment of this company, one person has been fired, and the others are all old employees!

The life of Zheng Xu is no worse than that of those world-class rich.

Think about it, whether it is food and clothing, or various positions in daily work, it is all to allow Zheng Xu to make better film and television dramas.

Now he is dressed or something, Wang Ou is in charge, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

As for eating, drinking, living and traveling, in the entire canteen, there must be at least four dishes in the daily menu, which Zheng Xu likes to eat, even if he didn't go to the canteen to eat that meal, he must have these dishes.

This was not deliberately explained by Zheng Xu, but the employees below observed his usual preferences and took the initiative to adjust them.

As for work, needless to say, Lao Zhang feels sad when he thinks about it.

Some time ago, Zheng Xu asked Zhao Dongbei to go to the south to make a cameo appearance in his new movie, and Zhao Dongbei stayed with Zheng Xu in Xiguang Province for more than a month before returning to the Northeast.

He, Zhao Dongbei, is usually so busy, and this one pulled over with a phone call, saying that he was asked to rest and recuperate.

When Zhao Dongbei returned, he turned to Daoqing City by the way to look at Lao Zhang, who was filming "The Great Wall" at that time.

Comparing the crews of the two sides, Zhao Dongbei pouted, from the professional crew of Flashing Media to Lao Zhang's crew, the difference...

In just a few words, Lao Zhang's body was completely struck.

Lao Zhang makes movies, and now he is still the same as before, teaching actors some acting skills, and he has to do it himself, whether it is the camera angle, or the lighting, all kinds of small jobs, he has to take care of it, he is a diligent old cow.

But Zhao Dongbei followed Zheng Xu to see his process throughout the whole process.

How do people make movies?

Sitting in the awning, Xiao Fengtian and Song Xiaobao were waiting for them to serve with tea and water, and if they had a small question, they used the walkie-talkie to greet them, other work?

The employees are all veteran, needless to say, Zheng Xu knows what to do with a look, the whole crew can be called like an arm, the operation is called smooth, and the filming is comfortable.

Zheng Xu, the director, is a real director, take the script, drink tea and look at the monitor, just shoot it, if you are not satisfied, start again, shoot again, it's as simple as that!

All kinds of other chores, there are people everywhere to help, he doesn't even have to come forward, occasionally every three or five times, when Zheng Xu is not busy, when he is resting, there are leaders from surrounding counties and cities who come to visit the door, visit, and chat.

The whole crew commutes to and from work normally, except for the need to adjust the work and rest time when filming night scenes, and usually eats ingredients flown in from all over the world, except for the place where they live is a little worse, other enjoyment is not bad at all.

The whole filming process is not so much about making a movie, but in the name of making a movie, paid vacation, making friends and chatting while traveling, and making movies is a convenient thing.

Zhao Dongbei followed Zheng Xu to recuperate for a month, his face was also ruddy, he was fat, his mood was much better, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger.

When it was time to return, I saw Lao Zhang, obediently...

Lao Zhang started in March, and when Zhao Dongbei saw him in June, he was as thin as a ghost.

The eyeballs look protruding.

Compared with Zheng Xu, Lao Zhang is like a well-known senior worker, tired and tired every day, and has to talk to a group of foreign veterans, and his subordinates are also traffic stars with acting skills.

After seeing Lao Zhang in Daoqing City for two days, Zhao Dongbei couldn't stay anymore, so he ended this recuperation trip with his two apprentices and went back to the Northeast.

Thinking about the gap in between, he Zheng Xu was actually raised by these hundreds of people, and with his two small companies, more than 1,000 people from the whole flashing media revolved around him and served him.

This treatment is not comparable to the average rich.

And everyone is justifiable about this, and the company model is special.

Look at his group of employees, although most of them are compound talents, many of them are actually very biased.

After a long time, I got used to his model, and the social skills and family skills of a large number of employees have changed, and they are no longer separated from this big family.

Whoever lives for a few years, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, or all aspects of daily life, only swipe their own employee card to live, and then let you return to normal work to get paid, and after work, you have to consider the life of fried rice, oil and salt, who will stand it?

This is the real way to spend money, which is low-key, and enjoys the life of a real rich person, and it will not cause the hatred of ordinary people in the outside world.

This is not as good as being happy alone, and it is better to be happy with Zheng Xu.

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

"Okay, but I can say it, the later stage of my side is a habit according to my preferences, if you cut the film, you have to keep an eye on it yourself, you go back and bring the film this time, bring a few more people, you can live here with me..."

Zheng Xu has no objection to this, and he is not in a hurry in the later stage of this new movie, whether it is equipment or personnel, as long as Lao Zhang wants to use it, he can use it casually, and it is good to use it addictively.

"Hahaha, Asahi ~ Interesting, I'll leave in the afternoon and come back in the next two days!" Lao Zhang smiled very happily.

Or Zheng Xu is interesting enough, he doesn't even mention money, as long as he doesn't mention it, it means that he doesn't want money, and when others come over, he still cares about food and housing, so he can't pocket the rest of the production costs.

Director Han was stunned, what's wrong, didn't you say that you still drink at night, this... Kung Fu people are going to leave in a while?

"It's not... You'll leave in the afternoon, and you won't be able to book a ticket..."

Even if you're in a hurry to go back, why don't you stay for a meal?

"Hahaha, don't you look at where this is? What kind of plane ticket can I book, take his plane and we'll go back, and you can go whenever you want. ”

Lao Zhang looked like a person who had come over, with a sense of superiority.

“....”

Director Han opened his mouth and had nothing to say, he remembered that Zheng Xu also had a private jet, that is, his private jet was a little bigger and more special than an ordinary private jet...

After chatting about the matter, the three of them smoked and drank tea in Zheng Xu's office, listening to Zheng Xu tell the story of his time when he was filming abroad, talking about foreign veterans, Zheng Xu said that when he was filming in Canada, the cooking in the crew canteen made some uninformed foreigners shocked, like turtles, licking the plate after eating.

Director Han laughed after hearing this: "Director Zheng, this is you, you still bring your own cook when you go abroad, and other crews are filming abroad, and you want to find a Chinese restaurant to order, but it's hard to find." ”

This thing sounds funny on the surface, but behind this, the crew of so many people has to bring a cook, Director Han heard that Zheng Xu is sometimes not used to eating some things abroad, and he has to transport ingredients from China, which is all money.

Lao Zhang glanced at Zheng Xu, what he was thinking about was not a joke, but the deep-seated things in it, why did Zheng Xu bring so many people when he went abroad to film?

Can I find some staff in the local area to shoot?

Absolutely!

But it's more reassuring to bring people by yourself, and the most important thing is that if there are many people, you are not afraid of being bullied, and he has never heard of Zheng Xu suffering abroad.

Think about their crew, it is said that there are hundreds of people, but no matter what type of work there is, most of them are young and strong guys, in case something happens, Huhula is a hundred and ten strong men, and when you meet a slightly smaller local gang abroad, who do you say is asking for trouble with whom?

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

"Haha, Director Zheng, you have a good relationship with Xiao Jiang?"

Director Han took the initiative to talk about Director Jiang.

Zheng Xu raised his eyebrows, he has a good relationship with Lao Jiang?

What a fart, if he hadn't struggled like this, would Lao Jiang have known him?

Lao Jiang is arrogant, everyone is just friends of wine and meat now, the circle is so big, who is friends with everyone, provided that there is no entanglement of interests before, there is a conflict of interests, who can take care of whom.

Glancing at Lao Zhang, Zheng Xu smiled and said, "Director Jiang is an atmospheric and thoughtful person, but sometimes he expresses himself more radically. ”

"Huh... That's right, this product is not easy to get along with, just if he dares to swear in my main theme gift film, he can still pick on me, hahaha, Director Zheng, don't you want to learn from him..."

Director Han seems to be joking and telling interesting things, but what he says means something.

Zheng Xu nodded, this is to make him pay attention to the scale, don't be too sensitive to the lines in the film, don't swear words, this...

"Don't worry, Director Han, I know in my heart, I have a plan now, I will have a meeting in the next two days to discuss with the screenwriters of our screenwriting department..."

"Oh?" Director Han looked surprised, so fast?

Is this already planned?

"Director Zheng might as well say it, and I will also give you a staff officer..."

Zheng Xu waved his hand and said: "It's still early, I'll go back and think about it in the next few days, and then I'll talk about it when I have a meeting, this kind of project is a big project for me, I must be cautious, thoughtful, and work together!" ”

Director Han glanced at Zheng Xu, who was smiling, and his heart moved, this thing reacted so quickly, he just clicked on Zheng Xu vaguely, wanting him to pay attention to the lines and scales in the film, Zheng Xu not only responded to him positively, but then subtly surfaced his attitude.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, it is very clear that it is a big project for him! To be cautious and thoughtful, at least this attitude is very correct, he is very comfortable listening to it in his heart, and it does not seem that Zheng Xu is very pretentious.

"What's that, Asahi, wait for me, I'll have a meeting when I come over, I want to hear it too!" Lao Zhang raised his hand and interjected, now that the post-production problem has been solved, he is also curious about what commercial main theme movie Zheng Xu is going to make.

"Okay~ Wait for you to come, it's not early, let's have some food?" Zheng Xu looked at his watch, it was past eleven o'clock, he just looked at the message on his mobile phone, the receptionist who followed the two directors heard that they hadn't eaten in the morning, so he transferred the news to Lao Qin, and Lao Qin forwarded the news to Zheng Xu.

"Haha, let's go, Han Dao'er, let's go, try it..."

As soon as Lao Zhang heard that the meal was open, he got up very actively and pulled up Director Han.

"Hey... Lao Zhang, you are bullying me as an outsider. ”

"Hahaha."

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

Wednesday, August 5, 2015.

Lao Zhang, with his small team of five, has officially settled in the guest room of Twinkle Media yesterday afternoon.

A flash and a flash stopped in the capital for two days, just waiting for him, and only picked him up yesterday, this kind of special plane pick-up treatment, Lao Zhang is extremely satisfied, but the satisfaction that has just risen, after thinking about it, Zheng Xu can enjoy such treatment every day, and his heart is depressed, in the final analysis, he has to make money!

Early in the morning, at nine o'clock, Lao Zhang wore a set of flashing media summer overalls, short-sleeved trousers, sneakers, and walked out of the canteen with his hands behind his back and walked leisurely to the conference room.

The temporary employee badge on his chest swayed, and the blue strap hung around his neck.

Looking at the flashes of media employees who come and go in and out of the canteen, there is no such urgency in the company as usual, they are all unhurried and energetic, the whole working environment is very relaxing, and the small flower garden in the yard also wafts a burst of floral fragrance, it is still morning, the dew on the flowers and plants has not evaporated, there is still a little moisture in the whole yard, and the temperature is not so hot.

"Lao Zhang~ Have you eaten it?"

Lao Zhang, who was walking like an uncle, suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

You don't have to think about it to know who it is.

"Just finished eating, didn't I see the message that I was going to have a meeting, don't worry, I just don't listen."

The old man didn't reply, but still walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Haha, it's like someone listens when you speak."

Now that there are no outsiders around, Zheng Xu is not used to him, and directly mocks Lao Zhang.

"Ahem... People are under the eaves, let some old guys. ”

Zheng Xu held the folder in his hand, walked to Lao Zhang's side, and asked casually: "When you finish filming this movie, come to a TV series to make some money?" ”

Now Lao Zhang has just begun to prepare diligently, his "Great Wall" has been working on and off since 2013, and it has been a year and a half, and he has just finished filming the shot, plus the production time of post-special effects, on the whole, it is estimated that it will take three years.

Think about it for three years, it took you to make a director's hard money, is this money so easy to make?

In this time, Zheng Xu has made many TV series and movies.

"I want to shoot, I also said hello to Qiyi, haven't you been busy, I want to wait for me to finish cutting the film here, everything is arranged, and when I have my hands free to shoot a TV series, making a movie is a dead end, I still have to make a TV series."

Lao Zhang sighed with a sigh, his thoughts are a little crooked by Zheng Xu now, and he can't look down on the hard-earned money made from making movies.

"Do you have any intention of scripting?"

Zheng Xu asked with a concerned face.

"Oh? Listen to what you mean, ready to support me? Lao Zhang is very good, and as soon as Zheng Xu asked, he knew what it meant.

Not to mention the TV drama production companies in the outside world, at least the quality of the commercial TV drama scripts of Flashing Media is extremely high!

Not to mention the explosion, the lower limit of this script may be higher than the upper limit of most TV drama scripts in the outside world!

Think about that scene, Zheng Xu's script, plus his name as Director Zhang, this TV series is not popular, at least the "money" scene is bright!

Zheng Xu can get hundreds of millions of dollars for a TV series alone, not counting his other income, Lao Zhang is not greedy, not to mention comparable to Zheng Xu, a TV series can make him earn 100 million, he is satisfied!

This is more than what he has earned in the past ten years as a film director!

With longing, Lao Zhang turned his head and met Zheng Xu's ill-intentioned gaze...

"What...?"

"Hey, hey... Lao Zhang, I have a script, but... Do you have the money to buy it? ”

Lao Zhang blinked, his expression was stunned, if he was so heart-piercing, it is true that the script is expensive and cheap, but the goods in Zheng Xu's hand will definitely not be cheap, not to mention whether to send it or not, this is a commercial matter, and it is not charity, and Lao Zhang does not have the cheekiness to mention such a thing.

But if you don't buy the script, you don't have copyright, and if you don't have copyright, how can you set up a project and make money?

Is this back to the old ways?

?, senior international director ---- Lao Zhang.

"This..."

Without waiting for Lao Zhang to continue asking, Zheng Xu smiled and hugged Lao Zhang's shoulders and said, "Which of us is with whom, it hurts our feelings when we talk about money, right?" But what... The company is so big, I have raised so many people up and down, eat in general, Lao Zhang, I will help you, you have to help me, let's change... Okay? ”

Zheng Xu's body is much larger than Lao Zhang, he stands next to Lao Zhang and hugs his shoulder, looking like a big black bear holding a little white rabbit from a distance.

Lao Zhang frowned, ignoring the feeling of oppression on his shoulders and said softly: "You mean, you give me the script, and I will work for you, and I will pay for your work?" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, you still know! It's worthy of an old comrade, the ideological consciousness is high, how about it, I'm about to work on a new project, and it's only in the next month or two, what about you, you have this time, it's enough to cut the film, and when you're done, my new film, you come to me as an assistant director, give us a long camera, do a good job, I'll send you a script..."

Lao Zhang was born in a cameraman, not to mention how his movies were made, his large-scale shots were scheduled very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is world-class!

At that time, Lao Zhang offered to come to him to borrow the team to do the later stage, why didn't Zheng Xu want his money?

That's a little bit of money, huh?

How much money can it cost to eat and live?

The most important thing is to turn people around, no matter what kind of international director you are, Master Zheng's cheapness, do you think it's so easy to take advantage of?

Looking at the world, who has such a big shelf and can find Lao Zhang to be a photographer?

Zheng Xu can!

It doesn't matter if you don't want to, it's driven by interests, Lao Zhang has a good relationship with him, and he throws out a script to catch Lao Zhang...

For someone else, if Lao Zhang is the assistant director of a movie, the audience's first impression is probably that Lao Zhang is promoting the newcomer.

But when he is changed to Zheng Xu, he can only be a photographer, as for the rest, the surname of Flashing Media is Zheng, but not Zhang, even if Lao Zhang has opinions, someone has to listen to him.

dragged Lao Zhang and saw that he was going to the conference room.

Lao Zhang looked up at the conference room, and then turned his head to look at Zheng Xu.

Isn't it just selling yourself to work? Thinking about it, I have no other way than this now, follow Zheng Xu, mix with an assistant director, play an assistant, don't be ashamed, and then think about waiting for the script to arrive, and shoot a "money" scene of a TV series by myself.

Make money... No shudders!

"It's done!"

"Haha, happy!" Zheng Xu patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, Lao Zhang is real, he didn't even ask how much the script was, Zheng Xu just lied to him, but he didn't expect Lao Zhang to coax.

After a while, I have to quickly notify the screenwriting department, and hurry up to produce a TV drama script, it was originally fishing, and now... As soon as the rod was taken out, the fish jumped to the shore on its own.

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

"Ahem, Director Zhang is listening today, he doesn't have to speak, I'll say an emergency, there is a task on it, let's prepare to make a commercial main theme movie!"

As soon as Zheng Xu's voice fell, there was some restlessness in the conference room, which was so unusual!

When did they get to the point where they were able to take on this kind of task in the open?!

No wonder there are so many screenwriters at today's meeting.

The boss is a bull~

"Don't make a noise, wait until I'm done!" Zheng Xu pressed his hand, and the conference room was instantly quiet.

"Our mission this time has a high degree of freedom and is extremely operable! Don't listen to the main theme movie and put your thoughts on the past films! ”

"I've thought about it for the past few days, probably the idea has been sorted out, let me say, you remember, follow my idea, postpone it, enrich the plot, understand?!"

This time, Zheng Xu didn't want to be lazy, he wanted to make a different main theme movie, so he focused on his own ideas, and other screenwriters assisted him to help him improve the content!

"Understood~"

"Boss, you say it."

"In the general direction, set a few tones first, and the first scene should be big! This time, we have strong foreign aid, and Director Zhang serves as the director of photography and assistant director of our main theme movie! ”

"Huh~"

"Coax..."

The atmosphere in the conference room this time is more enthusiastic, sure enough, it's still the boss, even Director Zhang has been pulled to help as an assistant director, this is indeed a strong foreign aid, so strong that it can't be stronger, just this combination, not to mention domestic, put it internationally, the combat effectiveness is top.

"Quiet, wait until I'm done!"

Zheng Xu raised his right hand, just said the first point, and stretched out the little finger of his right hand.

"Second, the main theme movie, to put it bluntly, is to shoot historical events! I am also ready for this event, but we can't shoot it completely according to historical events, we have to add our own "innovation" to it! ”

"Third, in the selection of actors, I don't tend to use an all-star lineup, don't talk about the trouble, let's not talk about it, this is a commercial main theme movie, how can it be commercial if we invite so many stars?

We have so many stars ourselves, let's use our own people first, the group of special actors last time was good, who was in charge of the selection last time? I have made all the files for these people, and when the script is made, I will notify them to come and continue acting! ”

Lao Zhang heard it in a fog, what is a special actor? Still a group? What is this trying to do?

Everyone else in the audience knew that Zheng Xu was talking about the group of clowns who played the Vietnamese last time, and the biggest similarity between these people is ugliness!

Do you want to get together these dozens of ugly-looking special actors?

And it's still a movie with the main theme, are there any major historical events that fit this kind of character?

Zheng Xu said three points, knocked on the table, didn't give everyone time to think, and first threw out another question: "Does the main theme movie have to shoot major historical events in China?" Why are few people filming major historical events abroad? ”

...

ps: Report to you, I deleted the leave note two days ago, mainly for fear of affecting the reading experience of the masters, but it seems that some of the masters didn't see it.

Ahem,I won't talk about anything else.,Mainly to say.,I want to be close to Lala Junding.,It's to combine the previous small chapters into big chapters.,The number of chapters is less.,It's all set up.,I hope you don't misunderstand.。

It's not that I'm black-hearted, the chapters have become expensive, this is a chapter of 12,000 words!

One chapter tops the last three chapters!

I don't know if you're used to this kind of big chapter, if you don't get used to it, I'll change it back.

As for the subscription points, they are charged according to the number of words.,It's none of my business.,And sending a big chapter is really friendly to me who has a headache every day for chapter names.,It's too friendly!
