334 Director Li's troubles and Gao Yalin's conjectures
Teacher Zhang raised his hand to signal Zheng Xu, pointed to the distance, meaning that he left first, and then said hello to Director Miao.
When he arrived, he was like coming home, he didn't have to be taken care of, he knew himself well.
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Xu found that in addition to himself and Director Miao, there were only a few guards scattered around.
"Haha, with your physique, it's a pity not to be a soldier."
After carefully looking at Zheng Xu standing in front of him up and down, Director Miao nodded with satisfaction, just Zheng Xu's physique, coupled with his appearance, Meng looks dignified and heroic, as for the face, it is a heroic spirit, a soldier, and his temperament is more imposing.
"Hey... Bad luck. ”
Zheng Xu was a little embarrassed... His family was not very good before, and it still had a bit of influence in his generation, when his father Zheng wanted to be a soldier, he couldn't pass the political trial, and it didn't work until his generation, and when Zheng Xu had children in the future, he wanted to be a soldier again, almost enough.
...
"Let's go... Zheng Dao'er, let's take a walk and have a look, watch and talk. ”
Director Miao smiled and took the initiative to invite Zheng Xu to go first, Zheng Xu nodded, and could only be a guest.
...............
The navy pays special attention to specialization, and Miao Gui also believes in leaving professional affairs to professional people.
This time, Mr. Zhang proposed to invite Zheng Xu over to be responsible for filming the "promotional video", and Director Miao also strongly agreed.
Now that people are here, Director Miao wants to talk to Zheng Xu first, and make some small requests by the way.
"Director Zheng... When we used to shoot videos in this area, the way was different, and the purpose we wanted to achieve was also different, the people wanted to see some of our construction achievements, but there were some things, and we still had to show them, not that our photography team couldn't do it, but that after they got used to the previous way of shooting, they suddenly changed, and it didn't reach the level of the commercial way of people like you. ”
"Understood, understood."
When Zheng Xu heard this, he nodded, he still has this awareness, although they are all photography majors, but everyone's industry and functions are different, regardless of high and low, and he didn't say anything about looking down on other people's photographers and other ideas.
"Hmm... We have all seen the movie brought by Lao Zhang, the effect is very good, the scene is very grand, you have also shot commercials for transport planes before, I believe that in this regard, there is still some experience. ”
"But... After all, this situation is a bit special, do you have any plans, or other arrangements? ”
"Teacher Zhang said, do you want a more imposing style?" Zheng Xu asked softly.
Director Miao stopped, glanced at Zheng Xu, pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Yes!" After all, this time I want to show it to the outside world, show my appearance, show your power, take out your more commercial, best exaggerated shooting style, and tell me if there is anything else you need to explain. ”
Zheng Xu is still very compelling in his heart, not to say what the video will look like, in terms of command, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble to others in order to shoot the video, that is, Zheng Xu wants to shoot as smoothly as possible under the premise of being good, rather than deliberately asking for anything.
This is just the politeness of the Miao guide to him, don't take it seriously!
"Miao guide... That's what I think, the main shots, let's put it on aerial photography, and when the drill starts, we just shoot together, and we don't have to bother. ”
"Hahaha, okay... Let's go, go to my office and sit down. ”
Director Miao nodded with satisfaction, Zheng Xu is very good, there are not so many requirements, there is no need for the leader to worry about it!
..............
At one o'clock that night, when Zheng Xuyuan was on a business trip in the island province, the crew of "In the Name of the People" in Zhongzhou City finally ended the day's filming.
Like these crews in the outside world, whether it is staffing or time arrangement, they are very tight, and filming needs to race against time.
They don't dare to be like the crew of Flashing Media, who have to take two days off every week, and usually if there is no night play, they usually finish work at five or six o'clock in the afternoon.
And ordinary crews, directors and producers like them, can't wait to break all the crew and actors into eight petals.
Every morning at 4 o'clock, the makeup artist will start preparing to make up the actors who will appear first in the shooting plan.
And wait until about six o'clock to finish breakfast, usually around seven o'clock, the crew has to start a day's shooting, this breath directly shoots until more than twelve o'clock in the morning, and then...
Siesta?
doesn't exist, an hour of meal time, a little rest, big-name stars can rest for a while in their nanny cars, and smaller actors and group performers can just find a place to rest for a while.
Then start from one or two o'clock in the afternoon, shoot directly to six or seven o'clock in the evening to eat.
After dinner this time, there is no time to rest, and I have to continue filming quickly.
Especially in modern dramas, the details of filming night scenes are not high, and many details are not arranged so finely with the help of night, which is much easier than filming daytime scenes.
This busy, until about 12 o'clock in the evening, the day's shooting is officially over.
The crew, who are particular about the point, will send a supper to the staff after finishing work, but the average small crew will not care about the meal this time.
There are so many people in the crew, and they have been busy for a day, and they must eat supper, which is also one of the ways to make profits in many film and television cities, a crew of hundreds of people, if there are several crews and tourists in a film and television city at the same time, these people add up to not a small number, all kinds of restaurants, takeaways, at this time of the day, the sales volume is the best.
Li Lu, the director of "In the Name of the People", and his good brother Gao Yalin returned to the hotel to rest for a while, and the two dressed up in disguise with black masks, went out and got into a taxi, and went straight to the cinema.
"Brother... In the middle of the night, why did you think of pulling me to the movies? ”
"Ahem, cough, cough", Li Lu looked at the driver in front of him, although the driver didn't recognize them, but the content of the chat needs to be paid a little attention, and there are recordings on many taxis.
"Let's talk about it when we get there, I have a little situation, you give me a staff officer."
Gao Yalin nodded, turned his head to look at the driver, and then looked at Li Lu, the two looked at each other, a little clear, big brother is looking for a place to talk to himself, why can't he be in the hotel?
Do you have to run to the cinema?
............
Although "Once Upon a Time in Annan" won the Palme d'Or, this kind of film is not too cold for many audiences, and under the long-term stereotype, many people feel that the award-winning movie is good, but... The story is just so-so.
This has also led to the fact that "Once Upon a Time in Annam", which has been released for several days recently, in addition to the daytime attendance rate, is passable, and after 12 o'clock in the evening, the attendance rate of many theaters is less than one or two.
With such a small number of people, they can find a random place to sit, cooperate with the background sound of the movie, want to talk about something, and it is convenient to talk, and they don't need the two old men to have a drink alone.
...............
"Hello... Bring me two tickets for the most recent movie, "Once Upon a Time in Annam". ”
Gao Yalin rushed to buy a ticket and asked Li Lu to sit next to him and rest and wait for him.
"Okay... Well... I'll see, the last one is going to wait until 10:20, and there are less than 20 minutes left. ”
The cashier of the theater was still a little drowsy, but when she heard the voice, she looked up and saw that two middle-aged people wearing masks in the middle of the night startled her, eased her mood, and then introduced Gao Yalin to the start time of the next "Once Upon a Time in Annan".
"Alright... Let's have both. ”
Gao Yalin pointed to the two positions in the last row near the aisle, and after a while, this "Once Upon a Time in Annan" can be seen on the ticket system, and at present, this one is just him and Li Lu, and the other seats are still empty.
"Okay... 29 sheets, a total of 58 yuan, Mr. want to get a membership card? We have summer activities here, rush 1000 and get 200 free. ”
"No, no, hey, are your tickets for the midnight show so cheap?"
Gao Yalin is very disgusted with this way of getting a membership card wherever he goes, he would rather have no discounts than apply for a card, but this ticket price is a little wrong, only 29 a piece, this price is a little too low, and it is also a movie that won the Palme d'Or.
"We have a fare subsidy of 20 yuan in the city, the original price is 59, plus a midnight discount of 10 yuan, sir, do you still want popcorn, drinks, and snacks?"
Regarding the question of ticket prices, the cashier explained casually.
Gao Yalin smacked his tongue secretly, this is quite bold, the city directly subsidizes 20, is this the advantage of the home field?
This is not a ticket price reduction, but a subsidy, twenty yuan per person, so many people in the entire Zhongzhou City, if there are more than 100,000 moviegoers, think about how much it will cost.
Raising his eyes, Gao Yalin noticed that there was a small door sign of Mixue Bingcheng behind the counter, and pointed and said, "Is there still a milk tea seller?" Are there any linkage products? ”
The circle of TV dramas is so big, the top bosses in the industry, they like to advertise, and they are followed by a few iron buddy sponsors, which is something that the whole circle knows.
Every time Zheng Xu's movie is released, Mixue Bingcheng is always the first to stand up and support him, and they will launch linkage products very appropriately.
Thinking about this scary coverage, what director doesn't envy?
"Yes, there are several new Annan Dream themed teas recently, most of them are passion fruit and mango, do you want to drink cold or milk tea."
The cashier's little girl took out a red and white apron from the counter, put it on her body, picked up the mask, and changed from a cashier to a "milk tea master" in Mixue Bingcheng.
Gao Yalin was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, one person doing two jobs, good guy, this cost-saving way, he is very familiar!
It seems that Chen Xi and Producer Chen like to play like this, and where did Chen Xi learn it, it goes without saying, people like to engage in compound talents at a flash, pay attention to everything, and employees of various departments can make cameos, and now Mixue Bingcheng has infiltrated the cinema to this extent?
Gao Yalin's heart suddenly cold, this kind of thing, on the surface, looks very simple, but this little girl who looks at the cashier who is harmless to humans and animals.
She can see the most realistic box office attendance and turnover of a theater every day.
In case she is smarter, or someone behind her is in command, and reports all kinds of data she sees every day to a specific person, as long as there are many such people, a lot of box office information can be easily summarized.
Thinking about it, Mixue Bingcheng is basically all over the country now, and they are likely to do what he thinks now.
A little girl like this is not terrible, what about a hundred, a thousand?
When the time comes, they will aggregate the customer flow and sales of each theater and show it to the people of Mixue Bingcheng, and the people over there will show it to the people of Flashing Media.
It's so much easier for them to do a lot of things!
The authenticity and reliability of this kind of data directly collated by the front line and the data collected on the Internet are much higher.
Gao Yalin is still a person in the Beijing circle, and now from this little girl's apron action, he realized that the amount of information in it is still very large, the more he thinks about it.... The more you think about it, the more scary it is.
No wonder some time ago, Director Feng and Director Guan lost so badly, after the release of "Lao Pao'er", as soon as they bought the box office here, they were secretly stabbed out there, and in the end, they didn't even know who stabbed out.
In terms of people's penetration strength, combined with the current network convenience, Gao Yalin can just think about it, as soon as they buy the box office here, you don't care how remote the place is, even if it is a remote county, as long as there is a place infiltrated by Mixue Bingcheng, if people are fast, sit at home, and you can know which theater has someone to buy box office tickets within ten minutes.
With the locust-like expansion speed of Mixue Bingcheng, just add a few pieces of equipment, and you can spend 10,000 yuan on the entire small counter in the theater.
Now in China, where is there no Honey Snow Ice City?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, although these were all conjectures made by myself in combination with the cashier's little girl's action of changing her apron, Gao Yalin was very sure that with his understanding of Zheng Xu, that person could not really do it!
According to rumors in the circle, none of the bosses of their Star Alliance companies are good at stubble, and they gather people in groups, what kind of person is Zheng Xu?
How easy can the friends he make?
I used to think that a private enterprise that sells milk tea was still very low, very low-grade, but Zheng Xu pulled Mixue Bingcheng because of the friendship in the early years as rumored by the outside world, but now it seems that the water in it seems to be very deep!
Who would have thought that people selling milk tea still have a side business, and those milk tea shops in Mixue Bingcheng that opened abroad?
What can they do?
It's scary... I don't dare to think about it.
...
"I... I... I want two cups of this... Passion fruit bobo iced tea bar. ”
Gao Yalin thought for a while, and when he spoke, his tone trembled a little, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded at the list handed over by the cashier, and asked for two cold drinks.
The cashier girl looked at Gao Yalin strangely, turned around and made a small ticket first, the cold drink was more expensive than outside, eight yuan a cup, plus a movie ticket, a total of 74 yuan.
"Here's your receipt."
After Gao Yalin had paid, the cashier girl said, "Sir... You can go and rest first, and I'll send it to you when I'm done. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you then."
Gao Yalin pulled Li Lu, and the two entered the screening hall.
"What's wrong?"
Li Lu looked at his good brother a little strangely.
How do you get nervous after buying a ticket?
"It's okay, big brother... I suddenly felt a little sick. ”
Gao Yalin didn't want to say so much, he didn't know how many people had seen it, or no one had seen it yet, although he had guessed a little now, he didn't dare to talk nonsense!
..............
The cashier girl, before the official screening of the movie, sent blankets, cold drinks, and ashtrays to two old men who secretly came out to watch the movie and talked about things by the way!
Under normal circumstances, the theater is a public place, and smoking is not allowed, but this is originally a midnight show, plus this is just the two audiences, or old men, the cashier girl gives them two ashtrays, just afraid that they will throw cigarette butts everywhere, which will increase the difficulty of cleaning after work.
Gao Yalin squinted his eyes and watched the cashier walk out of the screening hall after delivering them something, and he was even more sure of his thoughts just now.
In other words, this cashier must be not ordinary, this is a gut feeling!
...
"Brother, brother, what are you looking at? Missed the girl? ”
Li Lu patted Gao Yalin, who had been staring at the direction of the cashier's departure.
"No... No, I've thought about something, brother... What are you going to let me give you a counselor? ”
Gao Yalin took the initiative to divert the topic, Li Lu scratched his head when he heard this, took out a cigarette, lit one for each of them, and took a hard puff, Li Lu said: "Today... I'll go out at that time, you know, Mr. Wang came to look for me. ”
"Mr. Wang?"
Gao Yalin was a little uneasy at this time, and he didn't react for a while, the king that his eldest brother said was always Mr. Wang, and there were so many people surnamed Wang in the crew.
"Wang Ou! Director Zheng's daughter-in-law! ”
Li Lu glared at Gao Yalin, who had been fascinated by Huhu since he bought the movie ticket, and continued: "She didn't say a few words when she came over, but she conveyed a meaning for Director Zheng, who wanted to recruit me, she said that Director Zheng admired me very much, and was ready to give me an animation department and let me take charge." ”
"Zhao'an? Animation Department? ”
Gao Yalin looked confused, why did he suddenly run to the animation?
Although his eldest brother is also a small achievement in the field of animation, Director Zheng now wants to enter the field of animation?
Gao Yalin doesn't know much about the inside of Flashing Media, but he still knows a little bit about things in general, and some of them are still what Chen Xi usually says when he chats with him.
Among the major film and television production companies in the circle, one counts as one, and Flashing Media is the most alternative in this.
Take the Longyang brothers in the capital as an example, in their company, whether it is Director Feng's studio or the personal studios of several leading stars, they usually do it whether they are making movies or TV series.
In addition to these, other fields are also diversified development, what investment, real estate, cultural antiquities and the like, anyway, messy and money-making industries, they are involved.
But Flashing Media is different, although they also have a ranch, but apart from this, they don't do any projects that have nothing to do with the film and television industry.
Although a short video has popped up in the past two years, in the final analysis, this can still be counted as a film and television short film.
On the bright side, Flashing Media specializes in the production of various film and television dramas, and has no interest in other industries, and the development field of the whole company is relatively single, but it is also because of their singleness that they have developed to the top level in the industry!
As for this cartoon, it can also be regarded as the film and television industry, is this the last shortcoming that Director Zheng wants to make up for Flashy Media?
Gao Yalin thought about it for a while, a little happy for his eldest brother, he has been running around for most of his life, and he can finally rely on a big organization, this hugs Jin Thigh, won't he have more hope in the future?
...
"Big brother... I think this is a good thing, but do you still need a staff officer? ”
Don't say anything else, in addition to the occasional criticism of Director Zheng's way of doing things, his reputation in other aspects is still very good, he is generous, very protective of his shortcomings, and he is resolute, which is extremely famous in the industry, coupled with the internal benefits of Flashing Media, there have been various legends, but in the final analysis, it is two words - excellent!
What are you hesitating about in the face of such an organization's solicitation?
After this village, there will be no more this shop!
...
"Hey... I know Director Zheng is giving me a chance, but I haven't made cartoons for a long time, I'm shooting a TV series this time, does Director Zheng think that I have no talent for making TV series, so it's like letting me return to the field of animation? ”
Li Lu scratched his head a little, he was almost suspicious of being dragged down by the drama "In the Name of the People" in the past two years, and he was a little lacking in confidence in everything, which was the fundamental reason why Chen Zhiming could oppress him for a long time, and he didn't dare to resist.
"Hi... Big brother, I think you just think too much, there are so many things all day long, last time Producer Chen invited Director Zheng over, and drove that person away in three or two sentences, in the past few months, we have had a smooth ride, there are no difficulties, why do you look down on yourself now? ”
"Besides, this is also Mr. Wang's message, you didn't hear Director Zheng personally invited, are you not confident? Mr. Wang personally invited you with his stomach on his shoulder, this is treating you as his own person, look at Mr. Wang, since investing in our crew, what pressure has it brought you? ”
When Gao Yalin said this, Li Lu was also stunned.
Wang Ou is the largest investor in their "In the Name of the People", followed by Chen Xi, these two rich women are the two largest investors in their crew.
Chen Xi also works part-time as a producer of this drama.
As for Wang Ou, in addition to giving money and helping to find relationships, he usually doesn't come to the crew, even if he comes to visit the class occasionally, he will bring a lot of things to distribute to every staff member every time, and the way of doing things is like Director Zheng, which is extremely atmospheric.
For the filming of the TV series itself, he has never pointed fingers at Li Lu, how to shoot?
Even if Li Lu takes the initiative to ask for advice, Wang Ou won't care about him, and if he asks again, it's a sentence, Lao Zheng believes you, what kind of filming is like, just shoot according to the script!
Such an investor who has nothing to do is simply an angel investor compared to the previous investors who have a bunch of bad things.
At the beginning, Director Li Lu was also a little uncomfortable, but later he slowly got used to it.
...
"Brother... You can't take Mr. Wang's kindness to you for granted, no matter how good her attitude is, this is the only way she is like this to her project crew, Mr. Wang is outside..."
The rest of the words, Gao Yalin didn't want to say more, Wang Ou now gave them an excellent impression, careful, atmospheric, very considerate, and took care of all aspects.
But her rumors in the outside world are not too good, some celebrities Xiaohua used to want to rub her popularity, thinking about whether they could use some means such as stepping on her position, but the result was miserable.
In the circle, as far as the two of them are concerned, the means of doing things in private are much more fierce than the Xiang couple in Xiangjiang, and now, the two brothers are eating under the hands of others to see her gentle side, which is not the norm!
“!
! ”
"Yes, yes, it's me thinking a little too much."
Li Lu listened to Gao Yalin's analysis for him, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he said that he admired Director Zheng and the like, people... is still a little proud, he just feels that Director Zheng didn't come forward to invite him personally, and only asked Wang Ou to tell him this, which is a little bit unappreciated.
But now that I think about it, when Wang Ou came to talk to him today, he seemed to mention it very casually, saying that Zheng Xu was on a business trip, and she just came over.
What is the identity of Mr. Wang? With a stomach, he can still come to the crew in person and invite him to join Flashy Media.
This is another kind of attention!
"Alright... Then when we finish filming this drama, I'll go to Flashing Media! See what the legendary most professional film and television company is like! ”
Li Luhaha laughed and suddenly patted Gao Yalin's shoulder.
Gao Yalin looked at Li Lu with some expectation, the two looked at each other for a long time, and seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, he said with some grievances: "Big brother... Mr. Wang talked to you so much today? Didn't say anything else? ”
"Something else? I don't think so. ”
Li Lu pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"Just... Didn't invite me? ”
“......”
The corners of Li Lu's mouth twitched, and he smiled.
is obviously two people, but now they are invited by others, but Gao Yalin is ignored by others.
This... It's kind of embarrassing.
Gao Yalin sighed, although he didn't have any idea of joining Flashing Media before, this thing was rising too fast, and the mode of operation was different from ordinary people, he didn't have this idea before.
But!
Now that he is also in the crew, his eldest brother has received an invitation, but he has nothing on his side, which makes people very uncomfortable.
But... In this way, it also strengthened some of Gao Yalin's conjectures, for example, it is rumored in the circle that Director Zheng and the Beijing circle have deep contradictions, and he is also from the Beijing circle, is he affected by them?
Although Gao Yalin now has his own investment projects, his projects, to put it mildly, are just petty fights.
In "In the Name of the People", he is the first batch of investors, and the amount of investment...
2 million.
That's all he can come up with.
Do you want to go back this time, completely cut off contact with a group of people in the Beijing circle, do something like a name, and then come to Director Zheng, or to your eldest brother?
Although it is said, many people have the idea of preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than a phoenix tail.
But... This thing also depends on the actual situation, just take the assistant directors of Flashing Media.
They seem to be not well-known in the eyes of the general public, but their fame in the industry is not small!
Let's talk about Yi Xiaoxing, Zheng Xu's royal assistant director, what about honor?
Oscar, Cannes Palme d'Or, there are a lot of them, Zheng Xu can basically mix them up.
is such a coffee position, as long as Yi Xiaoxing wants to fly solo, he can form a film and television project casually, and raise one or two hundred million start-up funds, it is really investors who can rush to give him money!
This is a world of difference from the fact that the brothers begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother in order to make a TV series, and they couldn't even find an investor.
That's it... Director Yi is not impressed at all, after so many years of flashing media, he has been working hard as an assistant director for Director Zheng, which...
In addition to being comfortable and being treated well, it must be one thing, who wants to go it alone if you can lie flat and follow the carefree mix of the elders?!
Gao Yalin also yearns for this kind of life, when he is middle-aged, his life is stressful, and he also wants to lie down with the elder.
"Alright, alright... When I went over this time to explore the way and feel the situation, I heard that they also have an internal recommendation mechanism, that is, they don't recruit people directly, but you can introduce acquaintances to come in, and when my brother is mixed, if you want to come, you can come over at that time. ”
Li Lu comforted.
When Gao Yalin heard this, his eyes lit up, and there is still this statement?!
"Okay! I'll go back and deal with some things this time, and I'll wait for your news for the rest, brother. ”
"Okay, watch the film, watch the movie!"
Li Lu pressed out the cigarette butt and picked up a cup of cold drink, and glanced at the packaging of the cold drink and was stunned.
"Huh...?"
On the paper cup with green as the main color, it is printed with a picture that looks like a jungle. Li Lu understands that it should represent the jungle of Vietnam, but there is a very conspicuous Palme d'Or logo next to it, which is extremely eye-catching.
Who prints this on the packaging of cold drinks?
Turning the paper cup slightly, revealing a girl wearing ethnic minority costumes, the girl's face is still a little dirty, but the smile is very bright, it is what she is holding in her hand, and with her expression, it looks like it gives people a very weird feeling.
Li Lu took a closer look, isn't this Chen Yao?
But her smile matched the gun in her hand... The more you look at it, the more it seems!
Because of watching "Once Upon a Time in South Korea", Li Lu still has a deep impression of Chen Yao, this lucky little girl who first joined the flashing media just joined the company, and directly made Director Zheng's movie, relying on some morbid murderous expressions in the play to become an instant hit, she can be regarded as a little girl who is more powerful than the so-called Mou girl in recent years.
That's the kind of person with a gun on his face, still in the Vietnamese rainforest...
This is the still? It's quite a novelty to watch.
Under Chen Yao's feet, there was a line of small golden letters.
"Thank you for your support to Mixue Bingcheng, for every cup of Mixue Bingcheng drink, we will donate five dimes on behalf of you to the environmental protection cause in remote areas of China."
...
ps: I'm still very strong, as soon as the update is resumed, I will raise the amount, and I will never be lazy!
