World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Time flies by like light through the seams of hands.

"Egypt?"

"Do I have to go there to shoot?"

Warner Headquarters.

meeting room.

The cast and crew gather together.

"Yeah, but there could be other deserts instead."

"Qin, you know, we at Warner respect you very much, and everything will be done according to your wishes."

In the huge conference room, Barry Meyer and Qin Dong were smoking cigars, laughing and chatting.

In front of them, the coffee was steaming.

Everyone else in the room was sitting quietly.

The others are all actors in the crew.

For the last time, Qin Dong needs to confirm again. This is Qin Dong's right as the director.

Warner, on the other hand, has no way to refute it. Super directors these days all have this kind of power.

The difference is who can get all the power and who can only get part of it.

"hehe"

"So, Egypt gives a lot of subsidies?"

Qin Dong smoked a cigar, thought for a while, and asked.

Movie subsidies are not the subsidies Warner gives to crew members.

It's the filming location and the subsidies given to the crew.

For example, if you go to other countries for filming, the local city government, or that country, will subsidize the foreign crew how much.

Every place, every city, every country has different policies.

Why do these cities and countries provide subsidies to foreign film crews?

Isn’t it just to show the appearance of your city and country in the eyes of people all over the world?

This is a different kind of propaganda.

The premise is that the films of this crew will be released in cinemas in the future.

The larger the scale and the more countries it is screened, the greater the relative subsidies.

"hehe"

"Worldwide release, 10% of the cost."

Barry smiled and whispered a word.

It's better not to let the actors sitting down hear these things.

Although everyone in this industry is aware of the subsidy policy, there is no need to openly publicize the specific amount.

"That's it"

Qin Dong didn't express his position after hearing this, and muttered:

"Is it safe over there?"

Regarding Egypt, Qin Dong heard about it, saw it in movies and TV, and learned a little about it.

But I have never been there, so I really don’t understand the specific human geography and social customs.

Most of what we can understand is from movies.

It's famous and many people know about it.

Cleopatra, Pharaoh, these movies are very common.

However, I have only understood this step, and the others are still unfamiliar.

"Um?"

"This is it"

"It should be safe. I haven't been there either."

"But we are a crew, a Hollywood crew. When we go there, we will receive great welcome and various benefits."

"The government over there will provide high-quality services to the crew, including security."

Barry Meyer paused while holding his cigar in his mouth. After thinking for a while, he chose to tell the truth instead of saying anything.

If there are other people, he can fool them at will.

But facing Qin Dong, Barry was very honest and did not dare to fool him casually.

There are dozens of bodyguards following people when they go out. If this is just fooling around and something goes wrong, Barry can't bear such a heavy burden.

"That's true."

Hearing this, Qin Dong nodded in agreement.

Some institutions are much the same.

It’s great for foreign monks to recite sutras.

Qin Dong knew and understood this point, and of course there was no need to ask anymore at this moment.

"Okay, let's go to Egypt and have a look."

"I haven't traveled there yet."

“Let’s take a look at the pyramids, Pharaoh’s temple and other attractions.”

"I think this journey will be interesting."

Barry echoed.

Egypt may not be considered backward, but some of its attractions were built a long time ago.

Really worth seeing.

"Do you think these actors are okay?"

After the two chatted casually, Barry asked seriously.

As long as Qin Dong nods and confirms, the crew can start filming at any time.

"So far, I'm quite satisfied."

"It would be OK if their acting skills didn't make me hate them so much."

Qin Dong just glanced at it a few times and nodded in agreement.

Although there are many of these actors, Qin Dong saw them in person for the first time today.

But when making the selection, Warner kept contacting Qin Dong on his computer and mobile phone, and he needed Qin Dong's nod before these people could finally be selected.

Especially after Warner and DC selected several rounds of actors, they selected several actors for each role and let Qin Dong finally choose one.

Everything, the final final decision, still remains in Qin's hand.

"Everyone introduce themselves."

Upon hearing this, Barry tapped the table gently and gave the order.

Facing Qin Dong, Barry kept smiling.

Facing these actors, Barry couldn't help but smile. He kept a straight face, showing the majesty of a giant CEO in the entertainment industry like Warner Bros.

"Director Qin, I am Dwayne Johnson. I am very happy to be filming under Director Qin again. This made me so excited that I couldn't sleep for a few days."

The first one, also the big guy closest to the main seat in the conference room, introduced himself with a smile.

"Dawn, you don't need any introduction."

Qin Dong waved his hand casually to stop this big but eloquent guy from continuing to talk.

Johnson, despite being over 190cm tall, has exaggerated muscles and looks scary.

In fact, this person is very eloquent, has a very familiar personality, can joke very well, and is good at communicating with others.

Qin Dong had worked with this person once, and he could clearly see that in just a few days, Dwayne Johnson had become familiar with everyone on the crew, including the actors and behind-the-scenes staff.

She is simply the male version of a social butterfly.

As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured by measure.

A person who can rise in the later period will naturally have his own special features, or in other words, better strengths.

There are so many actors in the industry, but Dwayne Johnson is actually not outstanding in terms of appearance, body shape, acting skills, etc.

He has a fierce appearance. Normally, such a person cannot be a leading actor in a movie.

He is over 190cm tall. With this height, it is difficult to create a good visual effect with other actors in the movie.

If you don’t have a professional background in acting, even if you have been in the industry for more than ten years, it is not worth mentioning.

It just so happens that this kind of person, who is obviously not good in all aspects and is even lagging behind in many aspects, can become famous and famous.

Naturally, he has his strengths, which is popularity and being good at sociability.

After more than ten years of hard work, I have built a lot of popularity, and I can talk to him wherever I go.

Although they are all small fights, when we gather together, we always have a few contacts who can help at some point.

As a result, some supporting characters who were just popular and casually reached out to help introduce them, became popular in the end.

Thus, Dwayne Johnson's rise began.

"Hello director, I am Kate Beckinsale. I am very happy to work with Director Qin again."

The next person to introduce herself is the future heroine of the crew.

"Kate, we are old acquaintances, there is no need to introduce us further."

Qin Dong smiled and waved his hand again.

There's just a difference in my heart.

I didn't expect that this woman would still be so beautiful after not seeing her for several years.

Yes, beautiful.

Obviously this woman should be older, but she hasn't changed much.

Kate Beckinsale, who was born in 1973, had accompanied Qin Dong several times a few years ago.

After all, she is also the heroine of the series, and Qin Dong was fascinated by her tight leather jacket.

I thought that this woman was too old and had no future, so it was not worth wasting more benefits on her. I didn't expect to meet her again this time.

Although it was Kate who was selected by Qin Dong in the end, this woman was indeed selected as one of the three candidates for the final heroine.

Faced with three candidates for the heroine, Qin Dong had seen the other two and had no impression of them, which meant that he had never been famous in his previous life, so he naturally passed.

Finally, only old acquaintance Kate Beckinsale remains.

This year, this woman is 43 years old.

However, the appearance seems to have not changed compared to a few years ago.

At that time, when Qin Dong first met Kate Beckinsale, it seemed to be 12 years ago.

Four years ago, Kate was 39 years old, and now she is 43. The four-year difference in age is no different than when she was younger.

Finally, after taking a deep look at Kate Beckinsale, Qin Dong looked away and looked at the next actor to introduce himself.

This matter should be determined after Egypt, when Qin Dong is slowly playing with each other in bed late at night.

After all, Qin Dong ordered her. This woman is also very knowledgeable and must know how to do it.

After all, we have had skin-to-skin contact. Such open-minded foreign women can easily get acquainted with each other and are more proactive than men.

Ordinarily it shouldn't be an injection.

Because actors take injections, problems can easily occur.

That's when the facial expression will start to stiffen.

A stiff expression and a waste of acting skills will inevitably be disliked by moviegoers.

Such actors are destined to be eliminated. No actor would give injections to his face unless absolutely necessary.

Only women who really want to preserve their beauty in their fifties and sixties would do this.
