Chapter 485
At the same time, at an intersection 10 minutes' drive away from the Oriental Media Building.
A car is waiting at the traffic light.
In the back seat, a man in his early forties with a Chinese character was holding a mobile phone and looking at the screen. He was wearing headphones and smiled helplessly at the person on the other end of the phone: "Brother, Fang Rong is definitely not this kind of person. Why do I feel... …Isn’t this crew simple?”
His name is Song Kai and he is a director.
I'm going to meet Chen Xiao and Fang Rong soon.
The person who called him was his cousin Song Yue, who was the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala. It was through his cousin's recommendation that he got the position of deputy director candidate.
Although I had communicated with Director Chen online before and read some information about Director Chen, this was the first time we met today. Sitting in the car with nothing to do, he searched for "Chen Xiao" and unexpectedly searched for "Chen Xiao". It was said that Fang Rong was the culprit.
He is a director who shoots historical themes and worked with Fang Rong in his early years.
Although Fang Rong is a bit pushy, he cherishes feathers very much. How could he do such a thing?
Song Yue's voice came from the earphones: "It's all a joke, it doesn't matter. It's probably their company's deliberate marketing. Not to mention celebrities, now technology companies can market high-level characters, and of course directors can. Their company has Chen Xiao As a successful example, I might want to introduce another one.”
"Yeah, I understand."
As long as it is not an outlaw or a moral issue, other fires are a good thing.
Nowadays, there are still people marketing vicious, money-worshipping, idiotic characters. As long as the reputation is established, you can adjust the character later.
The immoral character of "treating singles with sweets" is not serious, and can even attract many fans.
Oriental Media wants to create a reputation as a production team, and this behavior is indeed consistent with their goals. Establishing a reputation will strengthen the stickiness of film and television works and further enhance the reputation of "Eastern Entertainment's products must be high-quality products."
Director Fang always likes to be in the limelight, and this time he got what he wanted.
I have to congratulate him later.
On the other side of the phone, Song Yue seemed to be busy. The sound of scratching paper came from the earphone. After a while, he continued:
"That matter about Fang Rong is not important. Let me warn you. I estimate that the quality of Director Chen's new script will be very high. A few days ago, I called him and told him that if their company needs it, we can provide some support privately. He directly mentioned that CCTV had filmed many documentaries and also talked to many historical There is a close cooperation between historians and experts, and I hope to get support in terms of historical materials and connections among historians. It sounds like he values this drama very much and wants to restore the historical details as much as possible. You yourself also mainly shoot historical themes. , I have a hunch that this opportunity is very, very important.”
Song Kai looked out the window at the Dongchuan Building not far away, "Yes, I understand. We both talked about the same thing, so you don't have to worry."
There is no need for cousin to have a premonition, this opportunity must be important.
Which script by Director Chen is not strong?
Members of the crew either make money or become famous. He will definitely seize this opportunity.
After chatting with his cousin Song Yue for a while, the car drove into the parking lot and Song Kai hung up the phone.
It's 10:20 now, 20 minutes before the appointed time.
Just the right time.
Song Kai opened the car door and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure and quickly caught up with him, "Director Fang!"
Fang Rong turned around and smiled politely, "Director Song, long time no see. The last time we collaborated was five or six years ago, right?"
Song Kai smiled and held his hand, "Yes, I was only 35 years old at that time. I served as the executive director and was taken care of by Director Fang."
One of the reasons why I'm so polite is because this is my territory. The second reason is because Fang Rong has higher qualifications and status than him in the director world.
Thirdly, he had a very good impression of Fang Rong. Although he loves face, he is reliable in his work. Executive directors generally have a hard time, and any chores that the director does not do will fall on the executive director. If the director is lazy, the executive director suffers. It was quite comfortable being on the crew with Fang Rong as the chief director.
Fang Rong smiled and said, "You're welcome, let's go up together."
"Thank you for meeting you, otherwise I would have to ask for directions." Song Kai walked towards the elevator with him with a smile, greeting him as they walked, "Director Fang, have you been soft on your prizes in the past few years? It's really embarrassing. People are envious."
"Award after award. Many big awards are thanks to Director Chen."
"You're too modest." Song Kai pressed the door of the elevator and asked Fang Rong to come in. "On the way here today, I was scrolling through my phone and found that you are also popular among the audience. Congratulations."
Fang Rong was stunned, his face expressionless.
But my heart was pounding.
Congratulations?
After "The Legend of Zhen Huan", is he popular again?
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" and two second-generation videos have made his name known to many high-speed surfers who follow the film and television industry.
What's the reason this time?
Last night, I saw that not many people were talking about him on the Internet. After a whole night and a whole morning, why did he become so popular?
The difference between today's noon and last night's is probably that many couples went home to watch dramas after their dates.
Could it be that he photographed love so well that he was called the god of love?
Fang Rong was excited in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Really? I was busy this morning and haven't read the news on the Internet yet."
The two came to the small conference room on the 16th floor.
Song Kai wanted to go to the bathroom and left the conference room first.
Seeing him walking out, Fang Rong stopped pretending and quickly took out his phone to see what positive comments netizens gave him.
Enter the social platform and open his homepage. His latest update is a photo of him and his wife shoveling snow. Clicking on the comment area, a bunch of new comments appeared.
"Fat Orange: I don't know what to give you for being so sweet, so let's give you death."
"You are so vicious for torturing singles on Valentine's Day!"
"Stretch your face over here!"
"Director Chen is shooting a traditional culture promotional film, and you are here shooting a promotional film for the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"In my next life, I will go to Qianling Mountain to be a monkey, and you will definitely get slapped by me if you pass by [smile]"
The smile on Fang Rong's face disappeared instantly, and he quickly searched for related content. After flipping through it for a while, he realized that it was a blogger who pushed Chen Xiao's good deeds onto him!
Look at the nickname of this blogger, it's quite familiar. He had heard about some cooperative bloggers from Deputy Director Zhao of the Public Relations Department before, and this one seemed to be among them.
Good guy, the Public Relations Department pushed him out for "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" and to get Chen Xiao out? !
Or was it Chen Xiao who pushed him out? !
Damn! Why should a middle-aged handsome man like him, who looks kind and gentle, bear so much? !
Just when I thought of this, footsteps were heard at the door. I turned my head and saw that it was Chang Yu who came in with materials.
The division of labor between Chen Xiao's two secretaries in film and television works is that Chi Yu is responsible for the movies directed by Chen Xiao, and Chang Yu is responsible for the works written by Chen Xiao. So it was Chang Yu who came today.
Fang Rong raised his mobile phone half-complaining and half-jokingly and said: "Secretary Chang, this is done by your director Chen again, right? Why am I still called Fang Rong? I should be called Fang Guo, right?"
"I'm not sure, this should be the public relations of "Hachiko's Story". Secretary Chi may know more."
"What a bad taste!"
Fang Rong did not shy away from Chang Yu's face. He dared to say this even in front of Chen Xiao!
He also said that this bastard deserved to be single!
Just when I thought of this, a familiar sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. I turned my head to look at the door of the conference room and saw Chen Xiao walking in with a stack of documents.
Fang Rong was about to complain to him in person, "Chen Xiao, you have a bad taste!", when he saw Chen Xiao put the stack of documents on the table.
His peripheral vision swept across the stack of documents, and he saw that the top cover of the paper read: "The Ming Dynasty 1566" Project Overview.
