Chapter 1056 A Dog Tied to the Director's Chair; Byte Series

Chapter 1056: Tie a dog to the director’s chair; byte system...

Maritime administration.

The group of people sitting in the conference room this morning are obviously different from the previous meetings;

Because at a glance, there were not only the preparatory members of the maritime administration's "Operation Red Sea" project, but also leaders from the navy.

"As for the idea of ​​director Lin Nan serving as the producer and directors Guo Fan and Lu Yang co-directing, we can discuss it here today;

At the film bureau, Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen meant that this behind-the-scenes team was the top team in the country, unparalleled, and there was no substitute at all. "

After looking around at everyone present, the head of Hai Zheng spoke first as he should.

"I think it's OK, very good. What we are shooting is a commercial blockbuster with a military theme. The director does not need to perform it personally. He only needs to follow the steps step by step. Coordination ability is the first priority."

"Well, I also think this plan is more gimmicky, more respectable, and more pompous than going to Zhang Yimou.

"Taking Tiger Mountain" and "Operation Mekong" are far inferior to this battle, let alone the movie next door "Sky Hunter", so what did the director choose? Just messing around. "

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae

The joke made not only the people in the navy burst into laughter, but even the two navy officers couldn't help laughing.

Commercial films with the main theme of the army have a special mission. It is simply child's play to arrange for "connected people" to come in to direct.

"There is basically no objection. The behind-the-scenes team formed by these three directors is second only to director Lin Nan personally directing, which is better than asking Zhang Yimou;

After all, he was getting older, so it was really not appropriate for him to go out with the navy to dine and sleep in the open for more than half a year or even a year. What do you two think? "

The head of the maritime administration looked at the two naval officers who came to listen, with a smile on his face, asking for their opinions.

The middle-aged man next to him was probably in his fifties. He nodded and said warmly:

"I don't know much about filmmaking. But for "Operation Red Sea", we are very clear: how the war is fought, the film will be made, and it must be made more exciting.

To this end, we have made full preparations and even recruited some officers and soldiers from last year's incident, as well as warships and live ammunition... and will communicate well with relevant countries...

To use the curse words of the film and television industry: as long as the script is good, the preparations are meticulous in the early stage and during the shooting, and the director does not mess around with the performance, then it will be okay even if a dog is tied to the chair. Can make a decent movie.

Of course, I don’t mean to curse anyone here, it’s just a metaphor to describe it. We are indeed prepared for everything we can use and think of this time, and we have everything we need:

The director only needs to coordinate the crew and film carefully. Everything else is coordinated by the troops. We imagine scenes that they can't imagine; we let them see things that they have never seen; we show them the big scenes that they have never experienced, including live ammunition at sea...

The two directors only need to show the spirit of the navy and the demeanor of a great nation in the movie based on the script and what we want! Therefore, we have no objection to the combination of director Lin Nan + directors Guo Fan and Lu Yang!

Of course, it is a bit of a pity that it is not directed by Director Lin Nan himself, but we welcome it and fully accept it being produced by him and co-directed by two other directors.

It’s just that the last two have suffered a lot. They have to go out with us and suffer for more than half a year. Oh, by the way, there are also the starring actors who will be confirmed later, haha..."

After the words were spoken, the navy's attitude became very clear.

"Tsk tsk, what you said is not an amateur at all, you are more knowledgeable than an expert.

In addition, for the movie "Operation Red Sea", you can rest assured that no one does not like to endure hardships. Actors in the film and television industry will rush to endure hardships and flock to it. This is the charm of our military-themed commercial blockbuster "Operation Red Sea". "

The head of Hai Zheng said with a smile, and a group of people below all followed suit, also laughing constantly.

"Then inform the film bureau and set a time nearby. Let's sit down and discuss the investment share. After all, the script will only be announced in these two days."

"Okay, Chief."

…

When Guo Fan and Lu Yang left the company, it was almost 12 noon.

Lin Nan didn't let the two of them have a dinner or anything because they were both anxious to go back and make preparations.

Once it is decided, they will most likely have to get busy with the casting process immediately; after that, they will seamlessly follow the navy and "leave home" to go out and endure hardships for more than half a year.

Well, it's the kind of "bitterness" that Lin Nan doesn't want to eat!

"Our great screenwriter asked me to tell you that in about a month, the "A Good Show" written for Huang Bo will be completely finalized. By then, we can directly start the project and make preparations."

"Well, just tell me to prepare the funds, and don't imitate other people's reservations. This doesn't fit in with your 'rough' persona, Director Ning."

"Fuck you, uncle. My reputation has been completely ruined by you people. I am a film director, a graduate student, and a cultural person. In your words, I am either a 'social idler', or I look like a 'social idler'." Bandit leader', 'rogue'..."

In the Tiangong-colored small conference room, Ning Hao was grabbing his own food while mercilessly criticizing a group of close friends represented by Lin Nan.

Director Lin Da didn't answer. He put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone. He smiled and read the message from Han Sanping, which was sent three seconds ago.

At the same time, Shanghai Film Studio, chairman's office.

Ren Zhonglun did not go to the canteen. At this moment, there was lunch on his desk, including several local dishes. The bottle of white wine in particular was so conspicuous that the secretary couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

I don’t know what happened to Director Ren today, but he actually ate and drank in the office? !

"Oh, mountain eagle, mountain eagle, you actually come to ask me for help one day?

Just drink this, it’s worth drinking half a bottle at noon today. Well, I've decided to help you with this. Although it's very difficult...but I can eat you for the rest of my life! Hahaha……"

Ren Zhonglun seemed to be smiling to himself, and seemed to be sharing it with his secretary. All in all, he was very excited.

"Director Ren, what is it that makes you so happy?" the secretary asked curiously.

"A movie, a real... realistic movie! My niece Han is really a tiger father with no dog daughter.

And Lin Nan, he is also decisive. However, rejecting "Red Sea" for this kind of script is indeed the right thing for a great director like him. "

Whispering, Ren Zhonglun suddenly raised his head and looked at his secretary: "Make an appointment with the city hall for me. It needs to be nearest and fastest..."

"Okay, Director Ren."

When the secretary heard this, he immediately became serious.

It's only a movie, but it actually makes Mr. Ren run for help. This is the first time. You must know that even the matter of "Railway Tigers" is not a big deal in Ren Dong's eyes.

…

"A Smile Is Beautiful" was released, and its box office of 275 million could not hide its reputation as a bad movie. It was even completely dismissed by the drama version.

"Walker" grossed 610 million, and "Danger City" grossed 167 million, both of which were canceled in advance. These two Hong Kong films can be said to be from the same people but have different fates, and they also have very different reviews from film critics. The former wins completely.

In the movie market, except for "The Bourne Supremacy", all other films have little influence or even no sense of existence.

The entire market is on the verge of sluggishness, and the next time it rises will basically be during the National Day holiday in a month's time.

When I woke up early in the morning, following the news the day before yesterday about CCTV criticizing actors for their high pay, daily press releases criticizing celebrities for their extravagant weddings were spread all over the Internet.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying are highlighted here, but Director Lin has nothing to do with it, because the wedding scene of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei was not made public, and the wedding venue was in the Great Hall!

Many people on the Internet are joking, saying that the daily newspaper is suspected of picking on the weak;

What's more, frankly speaking, the scale of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's wedding red carpet exceeded that of any domestic film festival. Are you pretending not to see it, or is it because there are too many gringos in there? !

After Lin Nan and Liu Yifei saw the news of being cheated by Aite in the morning, they were both speechless. This was an unforeseen disaster.

"The direction of the wind is already obvious. We just want to cut down on the extravagant trend in the film and television entertainment industry and curb the pathologically high paychecks!

In addition, the film and television entertainment industry is also the 'upper circle' that is most intuitively visible to the public. It has a great impact on ordinary people and can directly affect social atmosphere..."

Lin Nan said very definitely to Liu Yifei, who was drinking milk. After hearing Lin Nan's words, she raised her head, her red lips shining:

"Even if it is difficult, who among us is willing to have the salary that has been raised so hard to drop again? When I filmed "The Condor", an episode was only 8,000 yuan. What kind of salary is there now for the front-line movies? An episode is over a million! "

"I can only say don't get caught by the higher-ups. If you get caught, you'll be pressed to death." Lin Nan smiled pointedly.

"Lin Nan, is your phone vibrating?" Liu Xiaoli shouted from a distance. His phone was indeed charging.

Standing up and walking over quickly, Lin Nan saw the call from the bureau. "Zhang Bureau?"

"Come to the bureau the day after tomorrow and talk about Operation Red Sea."

Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately understood and asked happily: "Is this, done?"

"nonsense."

…

While Director Lin Da and Liu Yifei continued to eat breakfast at around nine o'clock, on Weibo, Cao Guowei was also working out the specific time of the original shareholders' meeting with a group of executives.

"Director Cao, they are going too far now. They are even openly grabbing news on Weibo, without considering the authorization issue at all, and are using it directly."

"Yes, Director Cao. Judging from the current situation, they have begun to openly encroach on and compete with some of our business. They don't hide it at all, and they don't pay any attention to us."

“That part of the shares and the original agreement are now a very troublesome issue.

It's like a thief has a spare key to our home and is half a child. It's not clear whether his behavior is stealing or taking, but he is definitely poaching us. "

"Byte system! I really didn't expect that they would develop so fast. We are indeed feeding a tiger into trouble."

Cao Guowei admitted the current situation with a gloomy face. He looked at several executives and made a decision: "Let's move it forward to early December. The sooner we deal with it, the better..."

"Okay, Mr. Cao."

"This time is good. We can't delay it any longer."

"It's best to deal with it. Then we can do it openly."

...

Hearing the indignant words of the executives, Cao Guowei had already made up his mind. The competitor of ByteDance was inevitable. The funny thing is that the opponent's initial development foundation came from Weibo's resources!
