What kind of man can be called a true warrior?

There are different opinions on the answer to this question, but there is one, which should be absolutely acceptable.

That is.

Bloody battle!

But obviously, Sun Yi is still very far away from becoming such a warrior, and it is difficult to say whether there is such an opportunity in this era of peace.

During Liu Yifei's maintenance, Sun Yi had no choice but to put all his energy into work.

"The Wind" directly started the project, and the script was handed over to Chen Guofu, the director, for the final review, of course, it is the superficial respect for him as a director, which means that the completion of this script is already very high, and there is really nothing to change.

Chen Guofu also tacitly changed some simple scenes at the beginning and end, and changed a few lines to finalize the draft.

In terms of the specific arrangement of the actors, the two still have a little disagreement.

"Mr. Sun, you can't all use the starry sky of your own people, we can't be too unique in this circle."

Chen Guofu had nothing to do, the situation was stronger than people, so he could only discuss with Sun Yi in a tone from a person who had come over.

As for the truth of whether to eat alone or not, of course Sun Yi understands, but if it is an ordinary film, he can't help but let go of this film, at least his own people must be given priority.

"Director Chen, I understand what you mean, but your own actor is suitable, why do you have to go far and far to find someone else, right?"

Chen Guofu was a little helpless.

"That's right, but Mr. Sun, you also have to leave a little soup for others to drink."

Sun Yi was silent on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart.

He understands that Chen Guofu is false by arranging actors to talk about eating alone under the stars, and it is true that he wants to fight for the corresponding director's rights.

In fact, he doesn't have a brokerage company in his hands, nor does he have actors, and some celebrity friends are also crooked people, and some of our party roles in the film must be inconvenient to play, so the actors have little to do with him.

Sun Yi thought about it for a while, Lao Chen's films in his previous life were also filmed well, and the bulk of the investment and the main control of the project were also in the hands of Xingkong, so he was a tool man, and it didn't hurt to give him personal favors.

"That's it, Director Chen, Li Ningyu, Gu Xiaomeng, the two heroines, and the role of Wu Zhiguo, I want it, the rest, you can watch it, what about the specific shooting, the starry sky will not interfere here, but the final editing rights of the movie will be taken over to the company, let's follow the Hollywood model."

Chen Guofu was born in Colombia, and he is no stranger to Hollywood's producer system, and after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that Sun Yi had made some concessions, so he nodded and agreed.

In the end, Li Ningyu was starred by Chen Shu with a salary of 1 million, Gu Xiaomeng was still starred by Zhou Xun with a salary of 3 million, and Wu Zhiguo was starred by Zhang Songwen with a salary of 500,000.

As for Liu Yifei, Sun Yi still didn't let her act, after all, she is not a director, and she is afraid that Xiao Nizi will not be able to grasp it.

The other roles were assigned to Chen Guofu.

Chen Guofu also made his own choice, Wang Tianxiang still chose Wang Zhiwen, Bai Xiaonian was ready to find Su Youpeng, as for Takeda, he didn't have a good candidate for a while.

Sun Yi recommended Huang Xiaoming to him, speaking of which, this senior brother has made an appointment with him many times, and he is a little embarrassed, in his previous life, Takeda was the most representative role of Huang Xiaoming's acting skills, and this time he will return it to him as it is.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoming opened his own personal studio last year in the style of Fan Bingbing, and now he is semi-independent and can be his own master.

In the end, the total production cost of the whole film was 40 million, and Chen Guofu paid 4 million himself and subscribed for 10% of the quota. Sun Yi took out another 20% and left it to China Film, like this kind of film with a main theme, the introduction of China Film's investment is definitely beneficial and harmless.

In the previous life, the external publicity cost of Huayi's film was 80 million, and if you put away the conventional water, 5 or 60 million is probably there.

But now this film, including the main actors and crew, are all Starry Sky's own people. Therefore, in terms of salary and salary, it is much lower than Huayi, not that Sun Yi squeezes the salaries and salaries of his stars and staff, but the rules on the starry sky's side are like this, their own company's projects, do not take a percentage or symbolically take a little, they earn a lot, on the contrary, it will be higher than the work outside.

As a result, production costs have dropped accordingly.

After talking to Chen Guofu, Sun Yi felt that there would be nothing to do with "The Wind" in a short period of time, and the rest of the preparations would be arranged by the production department of Starry Sky to follow up, but he didn't expect that the next day, Brother Xiao Ming, who learned that he recommended the role, came to visit.

Huang Xiaoming called Sun Yi directly, and after learning that he and Liu Yifei were at home, he was afraid that Sun Yi would run away, so he went straight to the door, and forcibly blocked him and Liu Yifei in the small courtyard, saying that he would invite them to dinner.

Sun Yi couldn't help it, so he could only take Liu Yifei to the banquet together.

Speaking of which, the three of them are all from Beiying, and they also starred together in "The Condor Heroes", and the relationship is really extraordinary.

Huang Xiaoming found a very secluded high-end restaurant, and it seemed that he was very familiar with the matter of inviting guests to dinner.

Speaking of which, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei haven't seen this Senior Brother Huang for a while, and when the relationship with Huayi was the most tense last year, Huang Xiaoming specially called the two to apologize, and the meaning of the words was that he really couldn't help himself, he was a company and a friend on the other, and he really couldn't help it.

Sun Yi understands very well, in that situation at that time, it would be very good if he didn't stand up and fall into the ground, after all, in the entertainment industry, people are all plastic friendships, this senior brother can make special calls, and he has never spoken about the starry sky and Liu Yifei to the outside world, so he is a friend enough.

Liu Yifei was also very happy to see Huang Xiaoming, speaking of which, she is a very friendly person in her bones, but either because of the misunderstanding of outsiders, or because her status was a little detached when she debuted, after so many years, she has not made a few close friends in the circle, and even there are not many friends on the surface.

When the three of them met, they talked about the old days, and talked about a lot of interesting things in "The Condor", especially Huang Xiaoming's joke that Sun Yi was upset with Liu Yifei at that time, and he fought against the group performance that took advantage, and now it seems that it must have a purpose, that is, to save the beauty of the hero.

Sun Yi was silent.

Liu Yifei laughed again and again, saying that she was on the thief ship now, but she regretted it, which made Huang Xiaoming laugh.

Halfway through the meal, Huang Xiaoming took a glass of wine and thanked Sun Yi very solemnly:

"Senior brother, thank you so much this time, I read the script of "The Wind" and like it very much, this villain role is also a challenge for me."

After Sun Yi returned a toast, he nodded and said: "Senior brother, you are too polite, in the final analysis, we are also from the same school, and it is appropriate to help each other, and I think this role is also suitable for you, if the villain role is played well, it will make the audience more impressed, I have a hunch that the role of Takeda will be one of the representative figures in your acting career." ”

"Then the senior brother will accept your auspicious words."

After hearing this, Huang Xiaoming was very happy and thanked him again and again.

Liu Yifei also took a sip of juice, not that she didn't want to drink, but during the maintenance period, Sun Yi didn't let her drink, so she could only complain at this time: "You two don't thank you for it, the most unlucky thing is that I'm okay, he won't let me act." ”

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Sun Yi angrily.

Huang Xiaoming laughed: "Yifei, there are a lot of good scripts on the junior brother's side, and now who in the circle doesn't know that the script library of the starry sky is a big treasure, and you are still short of this, I guess, the junior brother must have already arranged for you." ”

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and looked at Sun Yi with a questioning face.

Sun Yi smiled dumbly, shook his head and sighed, and replied to her word by word: "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China." ”

Liu Yifei didn't react yet, Huang Xiaoming was excited first, gave a thumbs up, and sighed again and again.

"Senior brother, it's awesome, I have entrusted a lot of people in this film, and I can't do it if I want to go inside and leak my face, you have Yifei with you, just say it."

"No, no, I haven't seen the script yet, and I haven't decided on the specific role yet."

Sun Yi is telling the truth, because he didn't watch all this film, when this film was released in his previous life, he was still in college, a college student in his era, he was really disgusted with this kind of main theme film, since he was in elementary school, the school organizes it every year, if you don't watch it, you can't do it, and you will deduct points.

For this kind of movie with the main theme, I rebelled against the boss in my heart, and it was not until I graduated and entered the society, matured my mind, and understood more that I realized that this is the real history of this country and even the nation that cannot be forgotten.

March 16, China Film Group.

Today is the preparatory meeting for the "Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" project, and the preparatory meeting is not a film preparatory meeting in the usual sense, but how to say it, it can be regarded as a meeting of directors.

Preparations for the project have already begun after the year, including the mobilization of personnel, filming locations, outdoor scenes, and the arrangement of some non-main actors and ensembles. Today's meeting is devoted to some of the special issues that have arisen during the preparatory period and have been specifically addressed in a meeting to be resolved.

Sun Yi, the assistant director, was also notified to participate.

He arrived early, saw a large oval conference table, and consciously sat down in the back.

I can't help it, I'm too old to suffer.

didn't wait for a while, everyone arrived, Han Sanping took Huang Jianxin, who is also a director, and followed by Director Chen and Feng Xiaogang.

Huang Jianxin, with Chen Dadao, speaking of which, this is the first time Sun Yi has met in private.

Sun Yi greeted first.

Huang Jianxin was very enthusiastic, and beckoned to Sun Yi and said, "Little Sun, what are you doing sitting so far away, come, come, sit next to me." ”

On the contrary, Chen Dadao was more "reserved", and just nodded at Sun Yi in response.

Sun Yi sat down as he said, and learned from a simple conversation that this director Huang Jianxin and Han Sanping are still classmates, so it's no wonder that he has a good impression of himself.

In fact, Huang Jianxin's status in the Chinese director industry is still a little embarrassing, how many generations of directors is he?

If it is calculated by age, there is no doubt that he and his teacher Tian Zhuang are people of the same age, and they are almost a few years old.

But he belongs to the halfway monk, according to the film academy, he and the sixth-generation director Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye are only separated by one term.

Just like Sun Yi himself, it is quite difficult to separate.

In the 80s, it was the fifth generation of directors who began to reflect on the national era through films, in the 90s, it was the sixth generation of directors who began to focus on the personal soul through films, and in the new century, it was the seventh generation of directors who began to explore commercial films.

To put it this way, Sun Yi is considered the seventh generation of directors, but if you count the age, he has not graduated from Beiying yet, and he should be ranked in the eighth and ninth generations.

Therefore, Sun Yi can be regarded as an outlier in the circle of Chinese directors, and he is the only seedling.

After a brief greeting, Han Sanping sat on the main seat and got straight to the point.

"What day is this year, I won't say much, a few of you here, there are well-known directors and artists of our older generation, and young directors of the new era, I hope everyone will unite and cooperate, and devote 100% of their energy to this "Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" to present the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Jianxin, you can take care of the executive director, and when the time comes, you will bring a group to shoot the exterior scenes, and I will be in charge of the indoor scenes."

"Kaige, Xiaogang, you two are experienced, the casting of actors is the gatekeeper, as the casting director, and you are responsible for arranging the main roles."

"Xiaoyi, the youngest here, the most active brain, and the most understanding of new technologies, you are responsible for the special effects of the movie, hang a special effects director, no problem?"

"Don't worry, Han Dong, it's absolutely no problem."

Sun Yi originally thought that he was just a name, and he would just help him when the time came, but he didn't expect that he really arranged a specific task for himself, so he quickly nodded yes.

But fortunately, there shouldn't be a lot of special effects shots for this kind of film.

At most, there are a little air force and navy scenes, but there is still nothing too fierce about the battle, and with the current special effects strength of the starry sky, it is completely trivial.

Although Han Sanping has arranged the responsibilities of several people, he does not say that he is a shopkeeper, but is responsible for the final master, after all, his identity is not ordinary, and the position of chairman of China Film Group is there, so it is impossible to be on the set every day.

"Kai Ge, Xiao Gang, do you two have any suggestions for the main actors?"

"Lao Han, I think the great man still has to be played by Tang Guoqiang, it just so happens that he is also 56 years old this year, the same age as the great man back then, this is not providential, the sage is willing to contradict each other, if you use someone else, it is not beautiful."

Oops I rub!

This Director Chen is chanting a sentence and a half at every turn, and Sun Yi can be regarded as seeing it today.

However, the two are really sophisticated, and they have a deep understanding of the actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, and after a while, the leading actors were recommended by them, and they all fit well.

Including international superstars such as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, etc., as well as big Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars such as Liang Jiahui and Liu Dehua, they have also been properly arranged.

Sun Yi listened to it on the side, and once again realized the awesomeness of this film, just like Huang Xiaoming said to him a few days ago, he didn't know how much he had to do with it, so he wanted to show his face in the film, but he still didn't succeed.

At this moment, Ge You, Chen Baoguo, Fan Wei and other national first-class actors were arranged for more than a dozen.

In the entire Chinese entertainment circle, counting down from the beginning, big-name star actors are like buying Chinese cabbage in this conference room, and they are picked and pulled back and forth by several people.

And he only talks about the role, and doesn't say a word about the salary.

This film, who dares to mention the salary.

"Now there is a problem, originally Jiang Zhiqing, I was going to let Chen Zhiming play, he played Lao Jiang in "The Long March", but unfortunately, he now has a drama appointment, and he can only make a cameo, and he can't play such an important role, who do you think is better."

Chen Dadao: "Or Sun Feihu." ”

Feng Xiaogang: "Isn't it too old, this one is 70 this year." ”

Several people recommended several actors, but they were not satisfied.

"Han Dong, what do you think of Zhang Guoli?" Sun Yi saw that a few people were meditating, so he interjected.

"It's not proper, it's inappropriate, Lao Zhang is a little rich, Jiang Zhiqing is a very thin person in history."

Sun Yi smiled and said: "Han Dong, don't you know, Zhang Guoli starred in my movie before, lost 20 pounds, and now he hasn't recovered, it should be able to meet your requirements." ”

"If you want to say that, maybe it's really good, Jianxin, remember it, and let Lao Zhang try it."

"Okay."

The questions of the main characters were almost arranged, and Han Sanping asked a few more people in the room.

"Kaige, play General Feng Yuxiang, Xiao Gang, play Du Yuesheng, Xiao Yi, what role do you want to string?"

At the end of the arrangement, Han Sanping asked about Sun Yi.

Sun Yi really doesn't have any ideas in his heart, this is the case, you can arrange it casually.

"I'll do it, it's up to you to arrange."

Han Sanping frowned slightly, Sun Yi is too young, and the problem of this role is really not easy to handle.

At this time, Huang Jianxin flipped through the script from the side and suggested: "Kong Lingkan, the eldest son of the Kong family among the four major families in Shanghai, the general manager of Yangzi Company." ”

Han Sanping groaned slightly, clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Well, it's good, the son of the family, he is cunning and domineering, he hoards goods, and he is quite a match for this kid, so let's do it." ”

Sun Yi's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses running by.

Asking for a monthly ticket, in order to stabilize the order, I had to issue a seal.
