"Hmm...... I guess that's a good thing! ”

Wang Dayong hesitated, "Where are you, I'll pick you up." Let's talk about it again when we meet. ”

Xu Yi reported his position, and soon, Wang Dayong's jeep drove directly to Xu Yi's feet.

Got in the car.

Xu Yi couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Wang, could it be that the chief is still not giving up, right?"

Ever since Xu Yi destroyed the Blue Command Center in the last confrontation exercise, he was worried that Tan Feibai would try his best to get himself into the troops. Therefore, Xu Yi's worries are not unreasonable.

Wang Dayong said with a smile as he drove in the direction of the military region:

"Not really."

"This time, the General Army Art Center wants to contact you, and of course, it is the chief who recommended you. What's the matter, it's like this, the General Army Art Center is recently preparing to make a military-themed movie, and I want to ask the chief how many people to borrow. You know, we're all rough guys, how do we know how to perform! ”

"At this time, the chief said, Xiao Xu, you are a person in the entertainment industry, and you have participated in the confrontation drill of the military region, so you may be qualified for this position, so let me take you over to have a look."

Military-themed movies?

Xu Yi's heart moved, although he hadn't seen much of the movies in this world, he had learned a little about it. At present, there seems to be no movies of this type on the market, and this kind of theme, like science fiction, is not favored by capital.

If you don't have the money to take a fancy to it, you naturally can't shoot it.

But...... This has to be said to be a great opportunity.

Xu Yike came from a previous life, and of course he understands how popular military-themed movies will be in the market. From the Wolf Warrior series to Operation Red Sea, etc., as long as the level is passed, each one can explode.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi tried to ask:

"Brother Wang, is this military-themed movie you are talking about, a commercial movie, or your propaganda movie?"

This has to be asked.

If it was just something like an internal promotional video, Xu Yi would naturally not be interested. But if it's a commercial film for the mass market, then it is absolutely necessary to get it.

Wang Dayong had no answer to this question, and hesitated:

"This ...... I don't understand either! ”

"Xiaoxu, don't have too much pressure, wait until you get there, and then slowly understand."

"The chief said, you don't have to stress about this. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can just say no. You kid refused to join the army at the beginning, but he didn't hesitate at all. ”

Xu Yi: "Forehead ......"

An hour later, the jeep entered the compound.

The office building of the General Army Art Center.

Xu Yi was stunned, wasn't he in the mountains? Yes, after all, it is an art center, and if the office is located in the mountains, it will definitely not be convenient to engage in art.

"We're here!"

Wang Dayong put out the fire and took Xu Yi into the office hall.

In the large conference room on the left side of the hall, a group of people are talking about something. Wang Dayong gently pushed open the door and instructed Xu Yidao: "Let's go in quietly and listen first." ”

Xu Yi made an OK gesture.

At the top of the conference room, there was a senior military officer in military uniform, who was talking impassionedly.

"Military propaganda is also one of the powerful supplements to the national defense force, in view of some subtle changes in the international situation in recent years, we have decided to create a war military film that belongs to our country and has our own characteristics."

"After a temporary discussion, the creative team of the art center felt that they could shoot a film with the theme of red and blue confrontation and put it into the market. Let more people understand us and support us. ”

"Everybody's talking about opinions."

With that, the officer sat down and picked up his thermos.

Seeing this, Tan Feibai said with a smile: "I don't understand the part of artistic creation, but our team will definitely unconditionally support this film shooting." Ask for people to give people, ask for places for venues, and ask for weapons for weapons. In short, as long as it does not involve military secrets, the support that can be provided, we absolutely support! ”

This is not an opinion, this is an attitude.

However, if Tan Feibai wants to talk about the theme of the movie and the views on film creation, he really can't talk about it.

Xu Yi, who was sitting in the corner of the back row, frowned:

Red and blue confrontation?

If this is a serial, it should be okay. After all, trivial plots can also have audiences. But moving to the big screen, it is unknown how many people are willing to pay for this.

Moreover, the confrontation between red and blue is nothing more than daily training in the army, and to talk about propaganda of national defense forces, in fact, this topic is not appropriate.

Xu Yi didn't speak in a hurry, after all, there were too many bigwigs here, and he wouldn't be able to take his turn for a while.

After Tan Feibai finished speaking, a thin officer thanked Tan Feibai:

"Thank you, Colonel Tan."

"With the support of the military region's assault brigade, I think there should be no problem with our logistics."

"The art center is already in contact with directors and screenwriters in this area. Once the preliminary preparations for this matter are almost over, we will set up a project, and we hope that it will be released at the end of the year or next year's Spring Festival at the earliest! ”

One year, shooting and post-production, this cycle is actually quite short.

This is also because the special effects of this kind of movie are not too many and too complicated, if it is a science fiction theme, then post-production alone may be a very long process.

After a pause, he heard the thin officer say again:

"I convened everyone today to discuss and discuss this topic."

"The red-blue confrontation that Lao Liu said just now, I personally think it's average. But to be honest, if I had to think of a more suitable subject, I wouldn't have been able to think of it for a while. ”

"You can't, play history again, right?"

Everyone understands what he is talking about historical wars.

This is the old yellow calendar, this kind of theme is very mature in the field of TV dramas. But if it's made into a movie, it's definitely going to hit the streets. Someone tried it before, and the box office was so miserable that even the pants were lost.

Tan Feibai was speechless when he saw that these two people were looking at him.

looked at the back row in the conference room, and soon Tan Feibai found the savior: "Huh? Comrade Xu is here! Come on, come on, sit at the front. ”

Xu Yi was cued by Tan Feibai on the spot, and he had no choice but to stand up, accompany the smiling face, and bend slightly to each leader to show his respect. Then he walked briskly to the front row and said:

"Hello chiefs, chiefs, hello everyone!"

"No need to be polite!" Tan Feibai directly brought Xu Yi's embarrassing situation, and then pointed directly to the center of the problem, "Xiao Xu, you are a person in the entertainment industry, and you have created many classic songs. Let's talk about how this military-themed film should be filmed! ”

Ooh~

How to shoot, you should ask the director!

I'm not even a fucking actor now, so I don't know how to shoot it!

Xu Yi swallowed his saliva, and then said:

"Well, chief, if I ask this, I'm actually a layman. Filmmaking, as a discipline, has its professional threshold. However, when it comes to the subject matter, I can say a few words. ”

As a 'person who has come over', Xu Yike knows too well which films can become popular.

Xu Yi paused, and then said:

"I agree with the chief."

"Shooting red and blue confrontations, it's nothing to look at. This is only one form of training within the army, and except for those who yearn for military life, it is difficult for the rest of the people to find resonance in it. ”

Xu Yi threw away his own views first.

Clearly oppose the 'red and blue confrontation' as the plot of the movie.

The people in the conference room quieted down all of a sudden, if it weren't for Xu Yi being ceremoniously introduced by Tan Feibai, I'm afraid that with this sentence, the General Army Art Center would have rushed people.

Who are you!

If you say no, you can't?

Did you know that a confrontation drill is a real battle at the end of the peace?

Tan Feibai said with interest: "Xiao Xu, you continue." You are a professional, you talk about it, and we all learn by the way. ”

Xu Yi bowed, and then continued:

"My personal opinion!"

"From the perspective of the market, if there are some real events as the background adaptation, on the one hand, it can strengthen this feeling of family and country, and on the other hand, it can also highlight the growing strength of the country."

"For example, the Golden Triangle incident more than ten years ago, such as the evacuation incident a few years ago, in these incidents, everyone sees more of the country's diplomatic means, and there is actually very little understanding of the military actions behind them. If the entire military operation can be made into a movie against the backdrop of these events, I think it will not be bad in terms of topicality or the public's willingness to watch the movie. ”

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he bent down slightly, and then sat down straight.

He still doesn't know where the wind is going, so he can only throw out a topic first, and if everyone is willing, then continue to discuss. If there is no will, then it is useless to say more.

In the conference room, it was quiet.

Everyone was thinking about Xu Yi's words, and Wang Dayong, who was sitting in the corner of the back row, couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: It has to be Xiao Xu, this kind of bold idea will come when it is said!

Is this idea bold?

Audacious, of course!

You must know that whether it is the massacre of fishermen in the Golden Triangle or the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Somalia, these things are a provocation to the country! No one has ever dared to make a fuss about such a sensitive subject, and whether it is done well or not may be criticized.

But I have to say that Xu Yi's words directly tore apart the limitations of everyone's thinking.

Why did the people at the art center only think about the red-blue confrontation in the first place? In the final analysis, it is because we are confined to the 'safe range' to think creatively, and the inspiration is naturally not so exciting.

The officer, Lao Liu, was silent in thought.

On the contrary, it was the thin officer, and there was some surprise on his face: "It's all shocked, right?" Let me say a few words. This little comrade ...... Xu Yi, right? Brother Xu, it is really an honor for you to come to this meeting today! It's an honor! ”

The thin officer walked directly in front of Xu Yi and shook hands with Xu Yi.

Then he said solemnly:

"I haven't made a movie, so I don't know what market and audience."

"But from the perspective of a soldier alone, let me ask you, do you want to see the confrontation between red and blue, or do you want to see our fighters, save people overseas and uphold justice?"

This is a very simple question, and the answer speaks for itself.

"Lao Liu, you comrades from the United Art Center, discuss it in this direction again."

Lao Liu immediately got up and said with some hesitation: "Chief, will this matter be a little sensitive?" ”

"Sensitive to what?!" The thin officer directly clapped his hands and said, "I'll communicate with the above about the scale." Either let's not shoot, if we want to shoot, let's shoot something that really belongs to us! ”

Lao Liu nodded, and said:

"But in that case, I'm afraid the budget will be ......."

The General Army Art Center originally wanted to raise money to start filming this movie by itself, in addition to the director and screenwriter, most of the actors were also transferred from the military region assault brigade, so the budget card was very tight.

I saw the thin officer wave his hand:

"I'll figure it out when it comes to money."

"You just have to get the content right."

"By the way......" Speaking of this, he turned around again, glanced at Tan Feibai and Xu Yi, and then asked, "This Brother Xu, is he from the assault brigade?" Lend it to us too! ”

When Tan Feibai heard this, he immediately explained:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

"Xiao Xu is not our person, he is a star. Although our assault brigade has always wanted to absorb Xiao Xu into it, but Xiao Xu Zhi is not here, but it is a pity. ”

In fact, Tan Feibai had introduced Xu Yi before, but at that time, everyone didn't care much.

However, after Xu Yi put forward this 'insight', everyone looked at Xu Yi's eyes, and it was very different. I saw a thin officer walk up to Xu Yi and introduce himself:

"Hello little comrade!"

"I am Lu Yilian, the person in charge of the General Army Art Center, and I would like to formally invite you now to become a member of our military-themed film creation team, I wonder if you are willing?"

Xu Yi: ???

I'm here to apply for actors, not behind the scenes!

He glanced at Tan Feibai, and Tan Feibai immediately smiled and said:

"Xiao Xu, they are all rookies in the field of art, why don't you help? Rest assured, the reward you should be given will definitely be given. ”

Xu Yi no longer held back his demands, and said directly:

"No problem."

"I am honored to be a part of such a job. It's just that I also have a small request, no matter what the final script of this movie looks like, I hope the chief can give me a role. ”

"Surely there is no problem!"

Without waiting for others to agree, Tan Feibai directly took charge of the art center and said: "Don't talk about playing a role, I even think that you have to play the male number one!" Lao Lu, Lao Liu, you two don't know yet, just this guy, compared to the flying eagle and the blood wolf in marksmanship! A while ago, our brigade organized a confrontation drill, and this kid directly single-handedly destroyed my command center! You say, he doesn't play the male lead, who does? ”

Boy!

Xu Yi's appeal is just asking for a role.

Tan Feibai was so interesting that he directly pressed the male number one on Xu Yi's head. When Xu Yi heard this, he glanced at Tan Feibai gratefully: The chief is interesting enough, but don't want to use this trick to pull me into the army, I am a layman, so I love to enjoy life......

Lu Yilian looked at Xu Yi in amazement:

"And that kind of thing?" (End of chapter)
