This star is from the earth

After Han Jue explained the matter, when he left the studio, he found that it was already dark outside. It has been cloudy all afternoon, but it has never rained, and the temperature is chilly at night, warning people that it is still winter. Han Jue shuddered, wrapped tightly in the thin coat that he had traveled all the way from Dali, and immediately got into the car.

"Boss, should we go home now or go directly to Dali?" Xiao Zhou asked.

Han Jue pressed his forehead against the cold window and replied lazily, "Go and get something to eat first."

He had fast food for dinner, and now he's relaxed, feeling like he's never eaten anything.

Han Jue looked at his phone, and Zhang Yiman had already sent two messages. The first one is that she has finished the competition, and the next step is to wait for the results of the voting. The second is to ask him if he wants to stay in Shanghai for a few more days to deal with things, deal with it slowly, don't worry, she will take care of Valentine's Day at home.

Han Jue smiled, and put away the phone after replying to the message. Xiao Zhou made a mistake just now, and should ask whether he is going to his house in Shanghai or his home—a place with Zhang Yiman and Valentine's Day is a writer for Han Jue.

"Book a ticket and leave tonight." Han Jue told Guan Yi.

Xiao Zhou couldn't help but be a little surprised at the efficiency of solving the problem: "Is it okay to go now?"

Han Jue said: "It's just that the direction has been set, and then you, Master Guan, will be responsible for the rest."

Xiao Zhou hurriedly asked about the result of the discussion.

Guan Yi was booking a plane ticket and didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Zhou, so Han Jue talked about it in general.

...

After finishing the phone call with Zhang Yiman in the afternoon, Han Jue returned to the conference room and told everyone about his decision just now.

First reject the hacker, do not pay the ransom. Afterwards, they took the initiative to disclose the material, allowing people to download it for free, and released unpublished tracks in advance, in the name of providing choices for Zhang Yiman's "Singer".

After listening to everyone, discuss immediately, and quickly list the following promotional directions: "Dark Net" and hackers, charity, Han Jue Zhang Yiman's love, Han Jue's tough personality... If you are a little bit more biased, you can also use such a The operation was related to the period of "I AM A SINGER", and the news of "Han Jue and Gu An are the same person" was exposed along the way.

If all goes well, this crisis will end here. But who let them have a pessimistic boss? Under the influence of their ears and eyes, none of them thought about leaving get off work until they failed to come up with a solution for the worst case.

Everyone gasped and pondered what to do if the worst happened. If netizens are still sharp-eyed, still find something wrong in the lyrics, and successfully form a momentum under the promotion of caring people, then they will eventually have to face two problems: brand endorsement and Weng Nanxi.

At this time, Zhang Jinshan was finally willing to speak out the countermeasures he had thought up in advance. One part of his plan is the same as Han Jue's, "make the material available for free download. If some users choose to pay normally, the proceeds will be used for charity", but the other part is that "if things go wrong , we can take this opportunity to make public our charitable records over the years. First, it can divert attention, and second, it can reverse the negative impression. If we tear it up with Weng Nanxi, we will have the upper hand."

Yan Xu agreed, saying that when people quarrel with public figures, they don't necessarily choose to support the reasonable side, they will only support the side of people they are more familiar with. They think you are a good person, and as long as you don’t make big mistakes or get caught as evidence, you will always be a good person.

Han Jue doesn’t have to be anonymous to do charity. Before, he acted in silence, but he didn’t want to say anything, but it’s good to do charity publicly. At least it can call more people’s attention to children’s problems. In this case, Han Jue doesn’t mind.” Selling fame and fishing for reputation" once.

But now he is just puzzled: "The problem is that I was not that good before. The Internet has memories, and the videos of beating people in my previous shows are still being uploaded. People's first impression of me is that I am a bad guy, and then I say I am a bad guy. If charity goes, it will only make people feel that it is whitewashing, right?"

"It doesn't matter. No matter how 'bad' you are, it doesn't matter, the key is to be 'better' than Weng Nanxi." Yan Xu said: "It's the same as [Bear Chasing People], you don't have to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster Just be faster than the people around you. Weng Nanxi didn't have a good reputation on the Internet before, and all kinds of rumors have not stopped until now. We can just fry a few at that time..."

"Don't do that." Han Jue interrupted Yan Xu's speech.

Everyone looked at Han Jue.

Han Jue said: "It has nothing to do with her. I just think it's too low-level and low-level to use [slut-shaming] to attack women."

Zhang Jinshan hesitated to speak, and finally wanted to say something but didn't say it.

Qin Xiaotong and Guan Yi were very calm, as if they were not surprised by Han Jue's words.

Yan Xu stared at Han Jue's serious eyes, thought for a while, but still didn't say, the public opinion war is not a dinner party, it involves the interests of two parties, it's a war, and it's a fight to the death. He just nodded indifferently, as if he was a dedicated waiter just now, asking the guest if he wanted coriander, and the guest said no.

As a public relations officer in the entertainment industry, Yan Xu has seen a lot of dirty methods and the darkness of human nature. Han Jue can be said to be the cleanest and purest client he has taken care of. Although Han Jue's insistence was a little naive, he didn't hate it. What's more, public relations is a service industry, and his job is to do things as best as possible according to Party A's requirements.

Yan Xu said: "Okay, there are a lot of articles you can do in the charity you have done. And it may not necessarily be a war at that time. If the unpublished songs are not caught, Weng Nanxi has no reason to quarrel with us. "

Everyone nodded and prayed that it would be best not to get to that point. Even at that point, if Zhang Yiman, who represents [Ai Du], takes the initiative to negotiate, if the negotiation fails, it will be two against one, and the chances of winning are very high.

The last problem is the endorsement problem, and it will be easy to solve if it goes well.

When Yan Xu knew the amount Han Jue spends on charity every year, the children's welfare home that has been built, the Hope Primary School that has been built, and the [Free Lunch] charity event, he said that after these publicity is out, there is no need to worry about the brand endorsement. If done properly, it can even cooperate with the official.

The countermeasures are set, and everyone can finally get off work. The rest of the work is to prepare and mobilize individually, and start prevention in stages. Everyone performs their duties, and they are no strangers to what to do. After all, there were rehearsals in October last year.

...

"What about me? What about me?" Xiao Zhou eagerly asked Guan Yi for a job, and also wanted to contribute to this matter.

"Just drive hard," Guan Yi said.

Xiao Zhou felt insulted and was very dissatisfied. He said, "Am I not driving well enough now? Watch me drift!" Then he stretched out his hand.

When Xiao Zhou stretched out his hand, Guan Yi also stretched out his hand.

"Win!" Xiao Zhou felt the touch of his palm and was ecstatic. He felt that he had been a driver for two years for nothing, and his hand speed even surpassed that of Master Guan.

But in the next second, Xiao Zhou felt that there seemed to be something growing in his right ear.

"Slowly put both hands on the steering wheel." Guan Yi moved his fingers slightly.

Xiao Zhou was disheartened and had no courage, so he could only drive honestly, never daring to mention drifting or turning the drain.

Guan Yi turned around and told Han Jue about the ticket situation: "The nearest flight is around twelve o'clock, and it's... three hours away from now, do you want to buy it?"

Han Jue nodded: "Buy it."

Xiao Zhou said that it took less than an hour to go to the airport, and asked Han Jue what to do with the remaining two hours?

Han Jue thought about it, and said to go to [Tinder].

Xiao Zhou yelled "Okay!" like a coachman, then turned the steering wheel, and drove the car to [Tinder] with ease.

The TV series "Black Mirror" has wrapped and is now in the advanced stages. Since we agreed with [Xiangyun] that it will be aired in one episode a week, the time is not too urgent. Throughout the filming process, Han Jue integrated and sorted out the director skills he had learned while leading newcomers. The newcomers are the sixteen young directors brought over from the United States. They spend half of their time studying at the film academy, half of their time working in the crew, and watching movies or reading books in their spare time. The company is responsible for all expenses.

When they are in the crew, their jobs are generally seldom fixed, sometimes in the lighting team, sometimes in the director team. This is not only to be familiar with the operation of each link, but also to experience personally how to read movies in this position when I am a cameraman/lighter/props designer. In the end, those who can be fixed in the position of assistant director are those with relatively good background.

Nicole made her debut as a film actor. Although she immediately switched to drama, she has rich experience in theater and a good way of dealing with people. When other companions who have just graduated are still afraid to communicate too much due to various reasons, she doesn’t care. Grasp the questions that the team leader should ask, bring gifts and ask questions that should not be asked, and soon the whole team cleared the customs, fixed on the position of assistant director, participated in the filming of some clips of one episode of "Black Mirror", and became a colleague The best of the best.

No one complained about it. Because many people know that Nicole studies hard and knows what a lot of demons at four o'clock in the morning are like. Apart from taking care of the children, she spends almost all of her time studying.

When Han Jue and the others arrived at the company, Nicole was watching the sound engineer work in the recording studio, learning how to use sound to tell stories or enrich stories.

Han Jue came in and saw Nicole, and asked her in surprise why she is here at this time, so late, don't she need to take care of the children?

Nicole smiled sheepishly and said she didn't come over until the baby was in bed.

Xiao Zhou frowned secretly, thinking that Nicole's level of hard study was almost catching up with him. What if the boss takes a fancy to him as an apprentice?

Han Jue listened to a few sound effects with headphones on, chatted with the head of the sound effect team, and was about to go out elsewhere.

As a result, Nicole followed suit.

She said to Han Jue: "Boss, do you know any crews that are recruiting? I want to go and learn."

Han Jue looked at Nicole and knew that Nicole was eager to learn, so he persuaded her that she can learn something not only in the film crew, "You can try to write a script and expand your short film."

Nicole said seriously: "I've already written it."

"It's finished..." Han Jue was stunned for a while, and then asked: "It's very efficient, do you have the script with you?"

Nicole took out a script with alteration marks from her bag, as if she had been preparing for this moment all the time.

Han Jue took it seriously, not daring to be perfunctory, sat down on a sofa in the rest area, and looked at it directly.

Nicole sat quietly aside, beginning to feel nervous.

Xiao Zhou comforted her: "Don't be nervous, the script is revised over and over again, and all rewriting is common, you have to get used to it." After speaking, he used himself as an example, saying that the script of "The Tuner" is It has been modified dozens of times, otherwise it would be impossible to win the [Golden Bull Award]. "When the boss criticizes you for a while, don't be sad, it's all for your own good..."

"Not bad." Han Jue nodded.

Xiao Zhou had an expression of [I'll just say it].

"It's well written. After a few more revisions, some structural adjustments, and some details are perfected, it's almost time to ask for money from Producer Xia." Han Jue closed the script.

"What!" "What!" Xiao Zhou and Nicole said at the same time, but one was surprised and the other was happy.

"It's just a good life and marriage story, why did the painting style suddenly become... suspenseful?" Han Jue remembered that Nicole's short film told the story of the separation of husband and wife, which was very lifelike. But the feature film version he is holding in his hand now, although it also focuses on the marital status, the whole storyline unfolds completely differently, with a larger scope and a more ruthless degree. "A pair of extremely loving couples, as the days passed, their relationship became more and more dull. On the morning of the fifth wedding anniversary, the husband came home and suddenly found that his wife had disappeared..." Han Jue looked at the cover of the script , called "Missing". Han Jue sighed inwardly.

Nicole explained: "After watching "Mystery of the Internet", I talked with Director Sun several times before I wanted to try adding suspense elements."

"Very good." Han Jue felt in his heart that their company had too many suspense films.

"Boss, which part of the structure do you think needs to be adjusted?" Nicole happily pulled over the chair and sat next to Han Jue, as if she wanted to have a detailed chat with Han Jue about the script.

Han Jue wanted to chat too, but time didn't allow it.

He told Nicole that for today, she will go back and make a backup of the script on the Internet, and then keep some evidence that can prove that she created the script first, and then upload the electronic version of the script after everything is done. Give it to him, he can help her change it when he is free in Dali.

Nicole naturally nodded after listening, her whole body exuding joy.

Han Jue understood this joy very well. He was also so excited when he heard that his script was about to be made into TV. He will never forget that feeling. In this world, with the help of Jalens and the others, being a director for the first time also made him very excited.

only……

When on earth did he regard filmmaking as a pure job?

"Wait a minute," Han Jue called to Nicole who was about to leave, and said, "It's about your crew work."

Nicole turned around.

Han Jue was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm recruiting for a new film, so come over and be an assistant director."

"Really? Thank you, boss!" Nicole was overjoyed and responded loudly. When she turned and left, her steps were windy.

Han Jue also left the rest area and walked in another direction.

Xiao Zhou ran to Han Jue's side and stared at him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see if Han Jue was really him.

Han Jue had to push Xiao Zhou's face away.

Xiao Zhou was extremely puzzled: "Boss! Where are you going to make a new movie? Isn't this a TV series that just finished filming? You're going to pick up a movie right away? Boss, this doesn't look like your style!"

Han Jue also felt that this was very unlike his own style. In his style, if he has just finished filming a work, if he doesn't take a break for a year or so, letting him work again is tantamount to killing him. But after making a phone call with Zhang Yiman in the afternoon, Han Jue began to reflect on whether his state of not wanting to do anything and not being motivated to do anything was right. I don't know if this is retaliatory slackness, similar to the head of a college entrance examination student who has been admitted to a famous university with great difficulty, but the whole person starts to relax as soon as he enters the school.

Han Jue found a test for himself. That is whether you are willing to do what you like most.

If he is willing to do it, it means that he still loves life and keeps creating. If you don't do it, then the problem is really serious.

His favorite thing, of course, is making movies.

Han Jue walked to Xia Yuan's office, knocked on the door, and heard that Xia Yuan was still inside.

Han Jue didn't talk nonsense, opened the door, and directly found Xia Yuan from the lingering smoke. He sat down across the desk and said, "I want to make a movie."

"Slow down." Xia Yuan turned the chair in the other direction without any haste, flicked the cigarette ash, and asked, "Let's talk about the budget first. If it's less than 20 million, remember to close the door when you go out."

"Sixty million." Han Jue stretched out five fingers.

Xia Yuan smiled, finally getting interested. "I have filmed hundreds of millions of projects for [Xiangyun], and it is really effective." Xia Yuan clicked his tongue a few times, crushed the cigarette butt, stood up and poured tea for Han Jue, and asked, "Tell me, which one are you going to shoot?"

Han Jue said, ""Love Letter"."
