World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Two Queens, Kyoto Film and Television Base.

Lunch time.

In the crew's exclusive room for the director, Qin Dong and Mimi were eating.

A few simple dishes.

Although it is not a big pot meal, it is not a big fanfare.

Qin Dong doesn't think it's necessary to eat the same food as the crew. He's not an actor, so he doesn't need to be down-to-earth.

Outside the set, a dining car was unfolding, and the crew members were all queuing up. The food was also very good.

Braised pork, bean sprout vermicelli, big meatballs, tomatoes and eggs, and finally there is a soup, seaweed soup.

Qin Dong is not a stingy person, and the food provided by the crew is definitely interesting.

Two meat and two vegetables plus a soup, and let the employees make as much as they can.

Except for the large meatballs, which can be eaten at most two per person, the other dishes are enough to satisfy everyone.

At this time, Xu Li was also in the crew room. She came here after lunch. Two days had passed and she had already investigated clearly according to Qin Dong's instructions. She came here to report.

Qin Dong ate his meal absentmindedly, looking down at the documents on the dining table.

This is the result of Xu Li's investigation, detailed information about director Zhou Xingxing's latest movie.

Qin Dong didn't say anything after reading it, but ate quickly. After eating, he threw down the lunch box, wiped his mouth, walked to the sofa nearby and sat down.

No matter how rudimentary the production crew is, they still have basic facilities.

There are many rest rooms and meeting rooms needed by directors and leading actors like this in every film and television base.

Xu Li very discerningly poured Qin Dong a cup of boiling water with tea leaves, and then sat quietly opposite Qin Dong, waiting for the chairman to speak.

Qin Dong sat on the sofa and touched his pockets habitually, looking for something.

He just paused his hand movements again, rubbed his fingers, and gave up helplessly.

A cigarette after a meal makes you feel like a god.

It's a pity that every time Qin Dong unconsciously wanted to do this recently, he always held back at the critical moment.

Everything is for the good of the children.

Must endure.

"When...when...when..."

The restless man tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table to get rid of the thought of smoking.

After a long time, she looked at Xu Li and said:

"Director Xu, please contact Director Zhou now."

"Let me just say that I have loved Director Zhou's movies since I was a child. He is my childhood idol. I hope to meet Director Zhou."

"By the way, let's talk about his new movie. Just say that the Great Qin Empire is happy to provide funding, distribution business, and everything the crew needs for Director Zhou's new movie."

"And I will definitely not interfere with the crew, and I guarantee that Director Zhou will have full control over everything on the crew."

Judging from the information Xu Li inquired about, it turns out that the new movie directed by Zhou Xingxing at this time almost has enough funds, but it is still in the stage of selecting actors, so the amount of funds has not yet been determined.

Because in the aspect of casting, it depends on which actor is chosen.

If there are many big-name actors chosen, the cost will inevitably be high. On the contrary, the cost will naturally be low.

According to Xu Li's investigation, several companies investing in the film will formally sign a contract with director Zhou Xingxing only after the actors are confirmed.

There is still a chance at this time, so Qin Dong said this.

"Okay, Chairman, I'll make a call now."

When Xu Li heard this, she immediately took out her mobile phone, walked aside and started talking.

None of them have Director Zhou Xingxing’s mobile phone number, but they do have the numbers of people around Director Zhou and in the company.

Just like Qin Dong, few people know Qin Dong's number. In other words, even if they know Qin Dong's mobile phone number, except for people who are very familiar with Qin Dong, other people who have no relationship or deep relationship are too embarrassed to call.

Come.

If you want to find Qin Dong, you must first find people around Qin Dong, people in the company, and then establish a relationship to contact Qin Dong. This is the most basic interpersonal communication.

At this time, Mimi also finished her meal, walked over and rested her head on Qin Dong's shoulder, her eyes half-closed.

"Baby, are you sleepy? Why don't you take a nap for a while? There's no rush for filming."

Qin Dong stroked the woman's hair and suggested.

These days, there is only Mimi as an actor around the clock, and the crew follows her around. There is really no free time, and the woman looks very tired.

"Well, hubby, I'll take a nap for a while."

Mimi didn't refuse, she was really tired.

The crew was filming during the day and often worked hard until midnight at night. My man wanted it very much, and so did Mimi herself.

Young people always eat poorly and do not know how to eat in moderation. Therefore, they tend to feel sleepy at noon during the day.

"Come, lie down and sleep."

Qin Dong went to the far corner of the sofa and asked Mimi to lie down with her head resting on his lap.

"Husband, you are so kind."

Mimi rested on the man's lap, put her hands around the man's waist, and buried her head on the man's belly.

Qin Dong smiled and said nothing, just slowly touched the woman's hair and coaxed her to sleep.

In spring, you feel very sleepy after lunch. Even half an hour of squinting during lunch break at this time can definitely wake you up for a few hours.

Therefore, lunch breaks are often necessary, especially for growing children.

Thinking of his school days, Qin Dong wanted to complain. At that time, there was no time for naps. The workload was heavy, plus the time spent traveling back and forth to school and home for meals, there was too little time. He often took naps during class in the afternoon, but his learning effect was actually very poor.

...

In a villa halfway up a mountain in Hong Kong Island.

"Xing Zai."

A middle-aged man with oily combed hair and glasses came to the living room and shouted something with a mobile phone in hand.

In the living room, there is a man with almost no black hair.

The half white and half gray hair makes this man look very old.

This person is the king of comedy, Zhou Xingxing.

Ben was looking at the script in his hand, thinking carefully about what needed to be changed, when he was awakened by his agent's cry:

"Wenzi, what's going on?"

"Xingzi, have you ever heard of a director named Qin Dong who is very popular in the Mainland in recent years?"

Tian Qiwen, nicknamed "Four-Eyed Frog", is Zhou Xingxing's agent and a senior executive of his company, and has played supporting roles in Zhou Xingxing's movies many times.

Very talented at comedy.

"Qin Dong? I have heard that this young man is an excellent director, and every one of his movies has a high box office."

Zhou Xingxing glanced at his agent, and glanced at the mobile phone in Tian Qiwen's hand. At this time, Tian Qiwen covered it with his hand, and he suddenly understood:

"Wenzi, was it Director Qin who contacted you?"

Tian Qiwen nodded and asked softly:

"Xingzi, when you were auditioning for the leading role a few days ago, do you still remember a young actor named Xu Wenfeng? That person is an artist from Qin Dong Qin Director Company."

Zhou Xingxing pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:

"Xu Wenfeng, as soon as you said that, I remembered that although he is young, his acting skills are also remarkable, but..."

It’s just what, Zhou Xingxing didn’t say. As his old partner and manager Tian Qiwen understood, his voice became softer:

"People from Director Qin's company said that Director Qin Dong and Qin like your movies very much. You are his childhood idol. He heard about your new movie shooting, so he is willing to provide all necessary aspects, including funding, distribution, film and television shooting locations, etc.

And I will never interfere with the crew."

"The person opposite said that Director Qin would like to meet you."

"Xingzi, what do you think?"

Zhou Xingxing frowned slightly.

He is the most troubled, but trouble can never be avoided.

Especially for favors, this time there was already someone to say hello to. This person had a favor with Zhou Xingxing before and had to give face, which made him a bit passive in casting.

Now there is another one, and this one is even bigger.

That person in the previous favor is already old, but now this person is in the development stage, and I don’t know how high he can climb in the future.

This gives Zhou Xingxing a headache. Interpersonal relationships have never been his strong point. In fact, it can even be said that this is his absolute shortcoming.

Basically most people in the entertainment industry have better interpersonal relationships than him.
