Huayu 05, our science fiction movie universe

Chapter 17 The Superiority of Status

"sit down!"

Du Yueming and Lu Guotao walked into the office and sat down. In just a moment, the fragrance of the fine Longjing tea filled the entire room.

"Hiss~ How is your health lately, old man?"

Du Yueming took a sip of the hot tea and asked casually.

Lu Guotao nodded. "He can eat, sleep, run and jump. Two days ago, he took the video recorder you gave him last time and went to climb the Great Wall with my mother."

Du Yueming smiled and shook his head when he heard this. "Mr. Lu is still living a comfortable life in retirement. Unlike me, I am so busy every day that my hair has turned white."

"You are a capable person and you should do more work. Our station has been able to develop to this point today, thanks to your hard work." Lu Guotao quickly praised.

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Du Yueming waved his hand. "I'm confident that you can handle the Buried Alive project. The idea of ​​the movie universe is also very good, but there's no rush for now. Let's first try out the science fiction series."

Lu Guotao nodded quickly. Du Yueming glanced at him again and said:
"When your sister got married, I went to drink a glass of wine at the wedding, and now her children have grown up.

It’s good that young people have ideas and are enterprising, but they still lack experience and don’t understand many twists and turns. You still need to do more checks and don’t end up like those sixth-generation directors who walked into a dead end and couldn’t get out.”

"Don't worry about this, leader. I have always given them instructions at home.

Moreover, the times have changed. Young people have received different education and their thinking is also very different. They need to be more confident, open and tolerant. "

Du Yueming nodded upon hearing this.

"In that case, you know what's going on, so I won't say much. Just work hard, and you should get the news soon.

In addition, you should submit the script to the General Administration as soon as possible, strive to get the project approved as soon as possible, and the filming license should also be implemented as soon as possible. "

"Okay, leader."

Lu Guotao agreed, then walked out of the office and returned to his room.

Wang Hao was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the room. When Lu Guotao saw him, he didn't wake him up and let him sleep.

It was not until an hour later, around four o'clock, that Wang Hao, who had had enough sleep, woke up.

"Wake up, grab your things and get out!"

As soon as Wang Hao stretched, Lu Guotao threw a document into his arms.

"What is this? A letter of intent to purchase a film! Uncle, has the script been approved?"

Wang Hao flipped through the document in his hand with a look of surprise and read it very carefully.

"With my help, how can it not be approved? Now that it's done, you can get on with the next step. The movie is not difficult, so don't drag your feet.

By the way, don’t do this project alone. Go to your school’s Qingying Studio to pay some management fees and cooperate in the production. It’s a public-to-public account. Do you hear me?”

"Got it, Director Lu!"

Wang Hao only needed to think about his uncle's words before he understood the key.

After all, the two are blood relatives, and although everyone knows it, they don't make it public.

But it was different after the project was approved, as it had to be signed and filed. Involving conflicts of interest, Wang Hao made a lot of money from this, and it was not much if it was not weighed on the scale. If it was really dug up and reported, it would be like yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants - it was shit, but it was shit.

He had seen this kind of situation countless times on the Internet in his previous life.

The masses have no ability to analyze logic. Lu Guotao is Wang Hao's uncle, and he handed over a project worth millions to him. Even if the movies Wang Hao made later were really good, people would still talk about it in private.

Therefore, it is necessary to add another layer of public identity.

This is also the reason why Lu Guotao did not let Wang Hao set up his own company and sign a contract with the movie channel.

From this point of view, Wang Hao's predecessor made an excellent choice when he chose to join Beijing Film Academy.

Although many people criticize the academic style of Chinese films, they have to admit that after so many years of development, if one wants to make it in the film and television industry, Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama are almost two areas that cannot be avoided.

Wang Hao’s identity as a Beijing Film Academy student itself possesses two huge advantages.

One is the huge network of contacts. People from Beijing can be seen throughout the entire Chinese film and television entertainment industry, from film production to distribution, from behind the scenes to the front stage.

The second is that Beijing Film Academy has its own film studio - Youth Film Studio.

The studio was established in 1958. Its predecessor was the Beijing Film Academy Experimental Film Studio, which was an affiliated film production organization of the academy.

The original intention of its establishment was to cooperate with the teaching plans of various departments of the school, to provide a place for teachers and students to carry out creative practice, and to help students shoot film assignments and internship production during the teaching process.

However, with the development of the times, the Youth Film Studio began to decline like other major film production studios, and quickly faded out of people's sight. Not only did the production of films gradually decrease, but there were no famous films.

Of course, as an official institution backed by Beijing Film Academy, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Because of its additional teaching mission, Qingying Studio also has two formal studios, several complete and semi-new sets of photography, lighting, set making, dubbing, and editing equipment, as well as dozens of well-trained professional technicians.

Even if there are no movies to make, the production capacity is still there.

Wang Hao had previously considered the production issues after the project was approved, and also turned his attention to Qingying Studio.

Now that his uncle brought it up, he naturally had no objection.

So after receiving the letter of intent to purchase the film, Wang Hao, who had regained his energy, rushed to the Youth Film Studio without stopping.

This factory was located on the campus of Beijing Film Academy. Wang Hao found the place as he knew it well and explained his purpose.

However, the staff who received him did not take Wang Hao seriously.

"You want to see the factory manager? You can see the factory manager whenever you want?
The directing department is shooting a graduation project? Where is the note from your class teacher? And you are alone, and there are only a few sets of equipment in the factory. What are you going to shoot by yourself?

Didn’t I inform you before that graduation projects are best completed by collaboration among several people? And even if you want to borrow equipment, you have to register and make an appointment in advance.

Cooperation? I can’t make the decision. The factory manager is not here right now. It’s already late. He left work long ago. Come back next time…”

Even Wang Hao was helpless in the face of the teacher's well-reasoned challenges. He did offer a cigarette, but his young appearance made it difficult for people to trust him.

Fortunately, besides his uncle, Wang Hao also has other connections.
