World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Then this issue will be shelved for the time being, and I will let Wu Jing reorganize the script for me in the future. It should be grand and the scene grand. Then we will see what equipment is needed."

Qin Dong took the initiative to change the topic:

"Then let's talk about the last things, the film's funding, etc. I don't know what instructions Captain Liu has."

Although Qin Dong can fully cover the cost of the film, it doesn't take much to guess that since the Jingnan Military Region has intervened, how can it just be a bystander providing military equipment? It must have its own ideas.

"Our art troupe has discussed this issue many times before."

Captain Liu answered the call as expected, and made a conclusion as soon as he opened his mouth:

"In order to better promote the spirit of our army and the theme of the movie, we must make sure to check it."

"Our cultural unit under the Jingnan Military Region will serve as the film's producer and invest in military films together with Director Qin's company."

"However, in the entertainment industry, movies are of course Director Qin's area of ​​expertise, so our Jingnan Military Region only occupies 50% of the share of movies. In terms of movies, Director Qin and the movie's starring and director Wu Jing have the final say.

, we just need to ensure the positive energy direction of the film."

Qin Dong was noncommittal after hearing this and didn't bother to argue. This Captain Liu was most likely Liu Shengda's elder. He was so eloquent that he was convinced.

Initially, Zhou Anping and Liu Shengda were asked to help, hoping that Qin Long would take over and be able to represent the subordinates. However, Qin Long came, but it was a pity that the leader was changed.

But Qin Dong also figured it out, which shows that the people above him attach great importance to it, not to Qin Dong, nor to Wu Jing, nor to "Wolf Warrior", but to military movies.

Thinking of this, Qin Dong finally understood why domestic military films began to become popular in the past few years until ten years later.

The two films "Wolf Warrior", "Operation Red Sea", "Operation Mekong", and many subsequent films that reflect past wars can be regarded as modern military films, as well as past military films.

I think it is to promote the spirit of the army and awaken the bloody spirit of the people.

In particular, some Chinese people are willing to be banana people and kneeling people. After kneeling for a long time, they will not be able to stand up. They are too servile and have been influenced by foreign public opinion propaganda, videos, and some domestically bribed public knowledge. This is all bloody.

How can we not pay attention to this example?

"Fifty-fifty, okay, let's calculate it as 150 million. Each of us will contribute 75 million."

Hearing this, Captain Liu said:

"Ordinarily that's the case, except that a lot of military equipment in the film needs to be provided by the military, and these are all money."

Qin Dong nodded:

"That's the truth, but the equipment is uncertain now, and this is to promote the spirit of the army, hoping that more good men will sign up to join the army, so I think the equipment issue, not to mention free, has to be discounted anyway, so we won't go into details.

Forget it, let’s round up the whole figure and consider the equipment cost as 10 million, and you can spend another 65 million.”

After saying that, Qin Dong stared at Captain Liu, waiting for him to express his position. In fact, he already had a guess in his heart.

really...

"What you said is right, Director Qin. It's only 10 million. At this price, no matter what equipment is needed in the end, it's probably not even enough for gas. Our art troupe has studied Wu Jing's script. There are many tanks in it, and

Armed helicopters, etc., the amount is 10 million..."

Captain Liu said finally, giving Qin Dong a look that you should know.

Qin Dong had no expression on his face. He had actually guessed it. It was as expected.

I just guessed it, but this is reality, his arms are not very thick.

Change the topic and ask:

"Captain Liu, do you know what the cooperative relationship between Hollywood and the military of the Free State is like?"

Captain Liu shook his head:

"Oh, I'm really not sure about this. Director Qin might as well explain it."

Qin Dong leaned on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position, and then spoke:

"In Hollywood, if a small-budget film requires military equipment, it usually needs to give the military some oil money. In other words, there are very few such films in theaters. They are usually released on offline discs and online.

issued."

"Ordinary films and ordinary directors need such equipment to appear, and it is usually free. Most of these films can be released in theaters, but there are not many screens."

"And if it's an A-level big production, a big director, it usually starts at US$50 million, and a movie of more than US$100 million, such a super big-budget movie that is released globally, or a super director, usually the free country

The military needs support, and often has to give money to the producers."

The more Captain Liu listened, the more he frowned. When Qin Dong finished his introduction, he immediately asked suspiciously:

"Isn't it possible? Where did Director Qin see or hear the news?"

Qin Dong said with a serious expression:

"This matter is easy to ask, and it is something that many people in Hollywood know."

"Commander Liu might as well think about it. In recent years, our country has begun to use various fighter planes and warships to fly dumplings every year. Even such a military budget is only one-third of that of the Free State."

"Although the Free State has the most military equipment, it is all from the past. Now there are very few new ones added every year. So where do they spend their money?"

"Public publicity is definitely one of the major expenditures, and Hollywood movies are the best choice among publicity channels."

He said it seriously, but Qin Dong didn't take it seriously.

Who knows whether this is true or false? After all, he was an ordinary person in his previous life, and in this life he is just a member of the entertainment industry. He doesn't know anything about national policies and military expenditures. He is just talking nonsense.

But Qin Dong does know one thing, that is, it is really easy to make a movie in Hollywood when it needs the support of the military, and I don’t know how much money it will cost. It is possible that it will not be spent at all. Anyway, I have never heard of any studio doing this.

The large sums of money paid to the military showed that there was indeed an ulterior transaction, which Qin Dong firmly believed.

"Commander Liu, let's be honest, 10 million yuan is a lot of equipment."

"If you still want more, then I might as well go directly to the model, green screen, or direct special effects. Anyway, it will cost money. This will also save you the Jingnan Military Region and not trouble you. What do you think?"

Commander Liu didn't expect Qin Dong to speak like this and save them trouble. Wasn't this just kicking them out of the Jingnan Military Region?

At this time, someone from the Jingnan Military Region camp looked at Qin Dong with a smile and interrupted:

"Director Qin, this movie was written by Wu Jing, and he also starred in and directed it. The first person Wu Jing found was our Jingnan Military Region."

"If Director Qin doesn't invest, we can also find other companies to invest in the issuance."

Qin Dong squinted at this man. He was not too old, about thirty years old. He was located very close to Commander Liu, and his status was considered to be high among those from the Jingnan Military Region camp.

He turned to look at Captain Liu, who was silent at this time.

I understand, this is a negotiated deal. If things don’t go well, one person will be embarrassed and the other will be embarrassed.

"That's fine, it's cooperation. Let's talk if we can talk. If we can't talk, we'll break up. The so-called business is not there, but benevolence and righteousness are."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded. He didn't look angry at all on the surface. He stood up as he spoke:

"In this case, let's stop this matter."

"Everyone, I have something else to do."

Captain Liu's expression changed and he quickly stood up to leave someone behind:

"Hey, Director Qin, the people below are ignorant, don't mind."

Then he looked at the person who just interrupted and scolded:

"Apologise to Director Qin, how do you talk?"

"If a movie can be made casually, then why bother looking for others to cooperate? Our military does not have directors who can cooperate."

Qin Dong didn't really leave, he just pretended to do so.

Watch the performance on the opposite side with cold eyes.

This thing sounds stupid to say, but it is very realistic. This is life and this is the real society.
