Chapter 523. Grading system and test film meeting [2-in-1]

Office of the Director of Operations for Star Images.

"Chairman Liu, this is the itinerary we checked with Legendary Pictures, the electronic version has been sent to Zhang Xin's mailbox, you can take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, our operation department will communicate with that side in time to adjust."

Guo Ming, the director of operations, put a printed itinerary in front of Liu Yifei, turned around and returned to his seat.

"Director Guo, don't call me that, I'm embarrassed."

Liu Yifei heard Guo Ming's name for herself, and hurriedly waved her hand, although her current identity is indeed one of the major shareholders accounting for 20%, but part of the main body of the listing is Star International, not Star Image.

Although the management is still one, Sun Yi plays a set of teams and two departments, but after all, the director of operations is still hanging on the starry sky image, and if he is called Liu Dong, it is a little unjustifiable, which inspires Xiao Nizi's shame.

"Then I'll call you Miss Liu."

"Well, okay."

In fact, Liu Yifei had already told Guo Ming that it was okay to call her Yifei, there was no need to call her so formal, but after several times, Guo Ming was still like this, and she could only let it go.

After participating in the Golden Rooster Award from Nanchang, she received a notice from the company's operation department that the itinerary for joining the crew of "Inception" in November was arranged.

But today Sun Yi went to China Film to do something, and she really didn't have any interest at home, so she simply came to the company to take a look and deal with this matter.

"By the way, Director Guo, I heard that Senior Sister Yu has a film that she wants me to play?"

"Well, I don't know."

"Isn't it? I've heard Senior Sister Yu mention it to me before, and I can't be wrong. ”

"Yes, yes."

Guo Ming is now a head and two big, originally a trivial matter of the schedule, there is no need for this proprietress to go out in person, who knows what kind of wind is blowing today, blowing this fairy over.

It's all here, so let's receive it well, but who knows, I asked about Director Yu's new film again.

What does this make him say?

Sun Yi, the big boss, obviously knew, but because of the character image problem, he didn't want Liu Yifei to play, so he didn't tell her.

It's good now, Liu Yifei asked like this, and sandwiched one of his subordinates in the middle, this is honest, it is equivalent to the boss being sold, maybe he will be wearing small shoes in the future, don't tell the truth, he is still facing the boss's wife, and there will be pillow wind in the future.

It's too difficult.

"Director Yu did take a fancy to one of the company's films and is preparing the crew, but the specific casting problem has not been solved."

Guo Ming had no choice but to say half of the true and false.

Guo Ming's voice, Liu Yifei must not know, Yu Feihong did mention this movie to her before, but she only said that the heroine was very suitable for her, and did not say absolutely, she was just curious to ask today, hearing Guo Ming say this, she asked again.

"So what kind of genre is this film, am I suitable for it?"

Liu Yifei is really idle today, and the whole person is full of curiosity, which makes Guo Ming very helpless.

You said that the two of you can't go home and lie in the bed, right, why do you have to ask me?

"It's an urban love theme, and I personally don't think the heroine is suitable for you."

"Oh?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and she asked rhetorically,

"Why not?"

Oh, where did so many come from?

Guo Ming now wants to die, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his eyes kept shrinking, and he arranged the wording in his heart for a while.

"Ziyu" and "Ziyu" drank for half a minute before putting down the teacup and explaining to Liu Yifei:

"The main thing is positioning, the company has introduced the Hollywood production process, and a film will be graded according to the theme, script, and investment size from the beginning of the project preparation, with a total of three levels: A, B, and C."

"For example, the "Pacific Rim" that the boss is filming now is an A-level production, and the actors it needs to match are also the highest priority, such as you."

"As for Director Yu's film, the company has confirmed it to be B-grade, and under normal circumstances, the company's top actors will not be arranged."

Guo Ming explained to Liu Yifei from the perspective of grading.

She understood a lot that she was at the top level in the company, and she should be matched with A-level production, and participating in B-level production was a waste of resources.

However, no, shouldn't the top one be Sister Xun?

Liu Yifei pointed at herself, and asked Guo Ming suspiciously: "I'm the top, shouldn't I be Sister Xun?" ”

"No, the company's current actress echelon is somewhat bilateral, you and Miss Zhou Xun are both A-level, Miss Chen Shu is B-level, and the rest of Wan Qian and Gao Ye are C-level."

In the process of recommending the industrialization of films, Star Imaging has begun to gradually introduce the Hollywood production process, not only for the project, but also for all the cast and crew, just like the P1, P2, and P3 of Internet companies.

What kind of project, what kind of cast and crew, everything is clear, which greatly improves efficiency.

But Starry Sky's current cast of actors is also not very healthy, especially actresses.

Normally, the actor echelon of the film and television company should be a pyramid type with less upper and lower more, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a spindle type with less upper and lower middle, but because of the lack of directors within the company and Sun Yi's outstanding performance, Liu Yifei has been promoted too quickly, especially in commercial value, and no one in the entire starry sky can beat it.

Originally, according to the comprehensive strength, she should be a B-level actor ranked below Zhou Xun, but this is less than a year, a popular "Star You" plus "Refuge", "Untouchable", with her own commercial attributes, she has been on par with Zhou Xun, and the actor echelon of the entire starry sky has become a dumbbell-shaped structure with two large ends and a small middle.

"Is that so that Wan Qian can make up with Gao Ye and star in Senior Sister Yu's film?" Liu Yifei asked again.

Guo Ming groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "Normally, I won't do this, because the specific level division has very rigorous inspection indicators, and when low-level actors are not well-known and box office appeal, matching high-level projects is a kind of dragging back behavior, and there is a waste of resources." ”

"Of course, the overall principle is still based on one's own people, and under special circumstances, actors will be interviewed from the outside."

"Oh"

Liu Yifei nodded understandingly, she would understand everything.

"In that case, is our company now lacking B-level actors, that is, worse than me in all aspects?"

Guo Ming smiled bitterly and nodded, "This. Indeed it is. ”

He felt that the boss lady was reflecting that his job as an artist director was not in place, and the artist echelon was disconnected.

Liu Yifei didn't see Guo Ming's bitter expression, on the contrary, a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed, button-like eyes lit up slightly, pink lips pursed gently, and the little head didn't know what to think of mysteriously.

At the same time, the distribution center of China Film Group.

"Han Dong, this is the director of the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the PLA Air Force, Wang Shaojun, my father's old comrade-in-arms, and my Uncle Wang."

"Director Wang." "Han Dong."

"Hahaha, fortunately. Fortunately. ”

"Thank you Han Dong for your support to the work of our troops."

"Eh, Director Wang, where are you talking, the military and civilians are a family, it should be."

Today is the last test film meeting before the finalization of "Wings of the Sky", as long as there are no major problems, it is basically the final version of the release, so Wang Shaojun, as one of the main producers, and Han Sanping, the boss of the distributor China Film Group, attended at the same time.

After a brief greeting between the three of them, they walked into the test film theater.

"Mr. Sun, I haven't congratulated you on winning the award, the youngest Golden Rooster Award for Best Director."

"Hey, Han Dong said that he was smiling, I was just lucky."

Han Sanping found a sofa and sat down, took out a cigarette case and touched one, then handed the cigarette case to Sun Yi and Wang Shaojun, and when he lit it, he scolded with a smile: "Luck? How come I haven't seen other people's luck, excessive modesty is pride. ”

Wang Shaojun took off his military hat, put it firmly on the coffee table, took Han Sanping's cigarette, lit it, and said with a smile:

"Han Dong is right, I see that this kid's tail is starting to rise to the sky now."

"Hahaha"

"Huh."

Sun Yi himself was also happy.

The two bigwigs made fun of him, and he didn't have a temper at all.

No way.

One has been supported in every way since his debut, and the other is his father's comrade-in-arms, counting the elders in the family, he is like a grandson monkey who is crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, and he can't make any waves.

"Alright, alright, watch the film."

The movie is a total of 100 minutes, this is already the final length of Sun Yi's cut and re-cut, and before he participated in the Golden Rooster Awards, Michael also worked hard to get a perfect Christmas holiday.

The special effects and war scenes of the whole film are completely comparable to "Pearl Harbor", and even the processing of some scenes is faintly surpassed.

The more Han Sanping looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, it was not that he had never seen the world, but the original expectations in his heart were really not so high.

It's so surprising that this domestic special effect can still do this level.

The whole process of watching the movie kept praising it, and Sun Yi was a little embarrassed.

That's not going to work, so if you see the finished film of "Pacific Rim", you can't cry.

Compared with Han Sanping, Wang Shaohua is not so proficient in the specific details of film and television, and he cares more about the story and narrative structure of the movie like ordinary audiences.

At the same time, as an air force soldier, seeing the first generation of air force ancestors fighting for the country and sacrificing heroically on the battlefield had a great emotional resonance, and when the majestic background music sounded, even red eyes.

attaches great importance to this Sun Yi, not only because it is the first time that Sun Yi has not completely copied his previous life, but has relied on his experience in this life to independently create and direct a movie. Because of the theme of the anti-Japanese martyrs in the movie, he must not be sloppy and strive for excellence.

The background music of the war scenes in the movie went directly to the Hollywood soundtrack team, or the top, Hans, the master of loneliness.

One piece is based on the background English attack variation in "Pearl Harbor", and two pieces based on Sun Yi's memories of his previous life, and two pieces are composed to supplement the melody of Sun Yi's previous life, and these three pieces alone cost Sun Yi a full $1 million.

If it's a pure new creation, if you don't have $2 million, no one will like you.

But so far, it's really good.

The adapted attack is combined with the camera footage when the little RB launches the attack, which is low and depressing, and with the tense Dong Xiao timbre, the ferocity of the RB people, the current crisis, and the cruelty of the war are vividly expressed.

"yes, yes, it's very good, the movie is great."

After the movie was played, Wang Shaojun shook Sun Yi's hand excitedly regardless of his seniority and thanked him again and again.

"I'm now looking forward to the day when it's officially released, and the premiere will be handed over to our air administration, and our director of the political department will also be in attendance."

I'm rubbing, this is the big leader, at least two flowers.

Sun Yi nodded again and again.

Hearing that the troops attached so much importance to it, Han Sanping was not ambiguous, and immediately promised Wang Shaohua:

"Director Wang, don't worry, we at China Film will do our best to promote and warm up the film, and strive to hand over a satisfactory answer."

As he spoke, he also called Wang Bo and instructed:

"In accordance with the highest level of distribution standards, the first batch of more than 1,000 copies of this film was produced, and all of them were produced within a month and sent to various theaters."

Wang Bo took out his notebook and recorded it, then closed the notebook and nodded solemnly, "Understood, Han Dong." ”

Wang Shaohua was even more grateful, "Thank you to the comrades of China Film." ”

After leaving China Film, Sun Yi returned to Starry Sky Imaging and arranged for professionals to divide the distribution tasks of China Film and the premiere of Air Politics respectively, and then put aside the matter of "Wings of the Sky".

Now, this movie is all done, and everything depends on the official release.

After sitting in the office for a while, Guo Ming knocked on the door and chatted with Sun Yi about Liu Yifei in the morning.

After Sun Yi heard this, he didn't think much about it, and felt that his girlfriend might have a different identity now, with the identity of a major shareholder, adding a sense of responsibility to her body, and she began to pay attention to the company's affairs.

This is a good thing, although he thinks it's just three points of blood, but step by step.

In the following days, Sun Yi began to reshoot the footage of "Huantai", because the actors had participated in simulation training many times and were already very familiar with the motion capture system and the mechanical cockpit, so the filming progress was very fast.

Especially Xiao Nizi, she has the foundation of an action actor, and the difficulty of the role is not high, she is very handy to grasp it now, and it took less than a week for her role to be filmed.

I thought that she would stay in Huairou's Starry Sky Digital Base to accompany her, but I didn't expect her to run away, making Sun Yi helpless.

Later, I learned that Xiao Nizi was mixed with Zhou Xun for three days, and she didn't know what she was doing, until Sun Yi's "Huantai" was filmed and she returned to the capital, she was not at home.

Sun Yi wondered for a while if there was a dog outside Xiao Nizi~

Yang Mi had just finished an announcement and was sitting in the nanny car behind closed doors.

Suddenly the phone rings.

It's her personal private phone.

I opened my handbag and took it out, looked at the caller number, was stunned for a while, was in a trance for a long time, adjusted my expression, and then pressed to connect.

"Uh, what time is it, where?"
