Chapter 549: Action Movie
After receiving the notice, Wen Muye rushed to the company as soon as possible.
The mood is called a surging.
Can the company's projects supervised by Mr. Xu be general?
Listen to the name, "Operation Red Sea", you know that this time is probably a big scene.
When he arrived at the conference room, he realized that he was not alone.
Wu Jing, Guo Fan and others are all there.
He immediately panicked in his heart, could this opportunity be to compete?
Compared with Wu Jing and Guo Fan, he really doesn't have much advantage except for his qualifications in the company.
You must know that the former "Wolf Warrior 2" is still the pinnacle of domestic films so far, and the latter is filming "The Wandering Earth", everyone who has been to the crew praises it, I heard that the number of personnel has reached tens of thousands, and it is natural to be able to mobilize this group of people to shoot "Operation Red Sea".
"Director Wu, Director Guo, why are you two here?" Wen Muno tentatively asked.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Xu Jia, who came in from outside the door, dispelled his suspicions: "Don't worry, the two of them were specially called by me to be consultants, and you are the chief director of this project." ”
When he came up, he fed Wen Muye a reassuring pill, and he was also expressing his attitude, that is, the people who follow him will not suffer.
What's more, Wen Muye's contribution is not small, as the benchmark for the earliest to join Jiaxing, Xu Jia also needs to set it up as the face of the company.
This is something that Wu Jing and Guo Fan do not have, the two of them can be regarded as art investors, only Wen Muye belongs to the innocent Jiaxing himself.
Of course, the people who came out of the cutting-edge director training program can also be regarded as descendants, such as Xin Shuang and Li Ruijun.
"You kid just steal the fun, I have a red eye when I see such an important project, but it's a pity that I can't lift my spirits after filming "Wolf Warrior 2". Wu Jing said with envy.
However, he doesn't want to compete with Wen Muye, first, he knows that Xu Jia's decision cannot be changed, and second, he doesn't even have the energy to pay attention to "Wolf Warrior 3", let alone other films.
During this time, he was more like a pure actor, enjoying the performance and the spotlight.
"I'm still filming over there, how can I get involved, and I'll give you some ideas."
Guo Fan was reluctant to come, but he was forcibly called over by Xu Jia to help teach him some experience in personnel transfer.
Who made him devote all his attention to science fiction, although he was interested in this kind of military film, he really didn't have the heart to shoot it.
Mu Ye was completely relieved, and then he was a little embarrassed, did he count himself as a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain?
But this is not the time to be modest, he said to Xu Jiali's military order: "With your trust, even if I work hard, I will shoot this film well." ”
He himself knows very well that this is his rare opportunity to break through the shackles.
Just like Ning Hao pondering about filming "Crazy Alien", as long as he is a director, he wants to make a blockbuster.
But there are few directors who are born to make blockbusters, which needs to be tempered.
Including Zhang Guoshi, he was also fed with high investment one after another, and Director Chen, who was famous at the time, fell behind because of "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
Later, Feng Pants followed up to shoot "No Thieves in the World", "Night Banquet", and "Assembly Number", the scale was not as large as the first two, but he also used money to practice his shots, and then the later "1942" gave him back to his original form, and he no longer dared to make blockbusters.
Even if he is a famous director, he can't afford to hurt if he fails to make a blockbuster.
"Come less, don't make a movie so tragic, I don't know what big thing I think you're doing."
Xu Jia, as an anti-hypocrisy expert, does not intend to sensationalize this set at all, since the company wants to transform into a regular army, it is impossible for him to have a director-centered system, "This project is not your job alone, to put it mildly, the director is a tool man, all the staff are a screw, you don't have to take the responsibility on your shoulders, do your part well, if the project fails, you can't complain." ”
"Call the three of you over, just hope that you can learn from each other's strengths, I plan to adapt this movie based on the Yemeni evacuation of overseas Chinese, it is about the strength of the country and the feelings of the family and the country, and what we want to show is the victory of collectivism, so the filming must also unite to achieve victory."
Letting a famous director shoot to embody the spirit of collectivism is the biggest irony.
The crew with the famous director as the core, isn't it individualism as the core, people think they are cow-beeping, how can they shoot collectivism?
The attraction of domestic military action movies to Chinese people is often not in the special effects, plots, and stars, but in the collectivist spirit that is different from Hollywood.
This kind of spirit is difficult for outsiders to understand, but it is very capable of poking at the point of Chinese people.
Including "The Wandering Earth", it is also collectivist, and people from all walks of life around the world have no so-called heroes to stand up and turn the tide in order to save mankind.
Therefore, it is normal for the domestic market to be hot, and the overseas market to be cold.
Originally, Wen Muye was still a little unconfident in the movie, but after hearing Xu Jia's core, his eyes suddenly brightened: "I know which direction to shoot, it's not that we haven't had this form of film, in the past sixties and seventies, "Armageddon", "Garland Under the Mountain" and so on, are all group dramas with collectivism as the core. ”
It is said to be a creation, but in fact, it is a circle, and it is wound back.
Even Guo Fan was greatly inspired, and slammed his hand: "Why didn't you say this earlier, alas, it's a pity, I can't change it if I want to change it after I shoot so many shots, but it can be changed later." ”
Saying that, he wanted to leave and change his follow-up shooting plan.
This is not a success, Xu Jia shouted to stop it, and said to the three of them: "Call the three of you to come, in addition to setting up the project, I plan to set the starring lineup first, and send them to the navy for training. ”
There is no way, he will see the film on October 1, and he has no time to slowly adjust to those actors, so he can only train quickly.
"This kind of military action movie must be a man's play."
After Wen Muye finished speaking, he realized that he had said a nonsense, and hurriedly made up for it: "But it's better not to use an actor with distinctive personal characteristics like Brother Jing, and make a cameo, otherwise the audience will think of a wolf warrior when they see his face, and it is easy to play." ”
The reason why many good actors don't fall in love with variety shows is that they are afraid that their impression will be fixed by the audience.
The group of main coffees in "Running Man", Deng Chao, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Chen He are all professional actors, and now they are either transformed into variety shows, or they can only mix in comedy, but if they want to act in dramas, they will be more or less affected.
Of course, you can't say that they can't make money, don't chill.
Compared with those actors who have never been on variety shows, it is obvious that the latter is more worthy of the trust of fans.
