World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Kyoto.

Daqin Headquarters.

General Manager's Office.

"Sisi, have you called Qin Dong recently?"

Sisi was stunned for a moment when she saw Mimi who walked in through the door and asked such incomprehensible words:

"What do you mean? Mimi, don't you and I call Qin Dong from time to time?"

The half of the sentence is the most puzzling.

"Isn't this the usual call? Isn't this the movie [Super Human Body] released? The media are everywhere bragging about the low-cost dark horse box office. They help Qin Dong calculate how much money he makes every day. I was curious and called to ask, but the stinky man said

I, hum..."

Mimi pursed her lips in grievance and accused the man of being bad to her best friend.

"Oh, that's it. I understand. If you have nothing to do, just leave. I'm very busy."

Sisi originally wanted to comfort this best friend because she knew that although Mimi was older than her, she was not as mature as her.

He just suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes, and smiled, but his face was serious about chasing people away.

"..."

Mimi was dumbfounded. This best friend has really become smarter and was not tricked.

...

A certain department of radio and television.

"I don't care if any of you have any opinions. Qin Dong's new movie must be released in China. If not, I'm afraid domestic fans will gather online to besiege you. When the scene becomes unsightly and unmanageable, don't regret it.

"

Mr. Han from China Film Group said confidently to several leaders in the department.

The reason why he came here today and was so confident is because Qin Dong's new movie has once again achieved the box office of Dark Horse Spot in the global film market at a low cost.

The wait until now is not in vain, everything has been calculated.

The best policy is to hope that Qin Dong can once again create miracles in the global film market.

It's a bad idea. If not, it doesn't matter. Today, Qin Dong is still the best business card in the domestic film industry, and other directors have fallen behind.

It's just that under such circumstances, Mr. Han has to find connections to ensure that the movie Qin Dong is filming must be released in domestic theaters by then. This is the bottom line.

"Old Han, why are you so harsh? Let's talk it over. Some comrades in our department don't have to oppose director Qin Dong's new movie. It's just that the plot seems to have hints. I also know that China Film Group has been involved in investing in director Qin Dong.

Movie, do you think the script can be changed?"

A bald, middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, a red face, and a belly that was ten months pregnant. His expression did not change after hearing this, and he turned around and spoke a smooth set of official words.

"Change the script? Chief Sun said it easily. All Qin Dong's movies were released globally. Before, they were all co-productions. From the actors to the crew and the funds, our country accounts for most of it. Now because you have blocked the script, this

All the movies have been cast by foreign actors, and if he is still not satisfied, should he be forced to leave and go to Hollywood to feel at ease without coming back?"

Mr. Han had already guessed what these people were saying before he came, and had already prepared many drafts. When he heard this, he immediately responded rudely.

"..."

The expressions of everyone in the room changed.

In fact, they really don't care whether a director in the entertainment industry leaves, even if the person is very talented.

It's just that this young talented director has come into the eyes of the big bosses above. If he leaves his hometown because of them, let alone the reaction of the bosses, there will be a group of attacks on the Internet. I'm afraid that the football world will be shaken that year.

Maybe it will happen again in their department.

...

A villa area in the suburbs of Kyoto.

"Mouse, thank you this time."

At the wine table in the restaurant in the villa, a bald man held up a glass and politely thanked the man across the table.

"Hey, my brother just said this to others, Lao Xu."

Ning Shuigao raised his wine glass and clinked it, waved his hands and replied indifferently.

"Thank you for that. It was more than ten years ago that I became a director. It was only once, and it was my first time working on a movie. There were so many chores on the crew, and without acquaintances to help, I was afraid there would be omissions. This is my first step.

The first step to become a film director, you can lend me your camera team, my brother must thank you, come on, everything is in the wine."

Xu Shan said as he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"You're welcome. I don't have any movies to shoot this year, and I haven't found a suitable script yet. My team is idle, so they can help you, and it can save me a lot of money. Without a movie to shoot, I have to work hard every day.

We need to pay these people monthly wages.”

Ning Shuigao also raised his glass and took a sip, but he didn't take it seriously.

He has been filming for six or seven years, and he has a crew. These people eat with him, and he has to pay them monthly wages, even if he is not filming the movie. Xu Shan borrows the crew to give him time for filming.

The money must have come from Xu Shan.

"If you join my crew, of course I will pay you, it's a matter of course."

Xu Shan shook his head. He only cared about the team's tacit understanding and cooperation. Paying wages was the crew's cost, and he didn't pay for it anyway.

"Okay, let's not be so polite here. Speaking of which, Lao Xu, you can do it. You can get the sequel to the popular series of movies [A Man on the Road]. Maybe you can get such a good thing."

The box office of the movie can exceed the box office of my movies in the past few years combined."

Ning Shuigao changed the subject and started joking.

I feel envious when I say it. After all, two movies of "Journey on the Road" were released, with a box office of more than 1 billion, and became a sensation in the country. Especially the second movie, with a box office of nearly 1 billion, which is the highest figure in the country.

Movies that exceed this box office are still the work of the same director.

Once a sequel to such a popular movie series is released, as long as it is not terrible, it will definitely have a high box office. Ning Shui Gao is naturally envious of such a good thing.

If the Xu Shan in front of him had not cooperated with him for many years and had a good relationship, if it were anyone else, he would definitely be jealous.

"Haha, I think this is very likely to come true. Speaking of which, I have starred in two consecutive films of "Unfortunately". While working with Director Qin, I occasionally heard that Director Qin does not want to make another sequel in the short term. He

I wanted to go international. When I heard this, I came up with the idea of ​​​​directing the sequel. After all, I had participated in the previous two movies and was very familiar with this series. I shamelessly asked Director Qin, but I didn’t think so.

When I think that I can really get this sequel director position, who knew Director Qin was so easy to talk to."

Xu Shan smiled and nodded. He actually believed that as long as the script he wrote for the sequel was not too bad, it would definitely do well at the box office.

By the way, let me briefly describe how I got the sequel to this series of movies.

"Director Qin, I have to admire this man. He is so talented at such a young age. Look at the few films he has made internationally. All of them are small-budget films that have dark box office. The one that was released a few days ago

A movie called [Super Body] cost 35 million U.S. dollars, but it actually made nearly 700 million U.S. dollars at the box office. When converted into RMB, this figure is more than 4 billion U.S. dollars. I really can’t imagine it.”

After Ning Shui heard this, he also expressed his heartfelt sigh to Xu Shan.

"This is something I can't envy. As long as we do well in China, that's enough. As for international movies, I have no idea."

Xu Shan thought of Qin Dong and didn't know what to say. He shook his head. The man seemed far away from them, and he couldn't even see his back.

"The food is here..."

At this time, a beautiful woman with still charming charm came out of the kitchen and came to the restaurant carrying dishes.

"Sister-in-law, the food is enough. Let's sit down and eat together."

When Ning Shuigao saw Tao Caihong coming with food, he immediately invited him politely.

"There is another soup, which will be ready soon. You two should drink it first."

Tao Caihong said with a smile and left the restaurant again.

She consciously avoids this kind of discussion between men.

"Mouse, besides thanking you today, I also have something to ask for."

Xu Shan watched his daughter-in-law enter the kitchen and watched Ning Shui tell her other intentions of inviting her to dinner.

"What's up?"

Ning Shuigao asked as he took a bite of food.

"Didn't I let you read the script before dinner? What do you think? Give me a sincere evaluation and see where there is room for improvement?"

Xu Shan asked with a serious face.

The sequel to a hit movie series, this kind of directing position is really hot on the butt, and the pressure is very high.

It was a blessing to be able to take the next step, but what followed was pressure. As the filming team was borrowed and the crew was successfully assembled, filming would begin soon, because Yuefu Media had already signed a director contract with him. The day the crew was successfully assembled,

Funds for the film would arrive. The closer the time came, the more anxious Xu Shan became, and he lost confidence in the script.

"This food is not delicious..."

Ning Shuigao touched his hair and said.

Although he is a new talented director who is good at small-budget comedies and usually participates in the screenwriting of his own movies, it is a bit difficult for him to point fingers at other scripts.
