Han Zhou had just arrived. As soon as Chen Xiaoyong saw Han Zhou, he immediately said: "Brother Han, you are finally back!"
Zhang Jiuquan also looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou: "Second, who is this?"
Chen Xiaoyong immediately pulled Han Zhou into the house, closed the door and locked it: "My old classmate in Yanying, Zhang Jiuquan."
"Jiuquan, this is Brother Han."
Zhang Jiuquan looked at Han Zhou with a troubled expression on his face.
Chen Xiaoyong pushed Zhang Jiuquan to a desk: "Sit down first, Brother Han, do you want to eat? Make some skewers?"
Han Zhou nodded: "Okay, let the cold cup store deliver it."
Han Zhou also took his seat, and the three of them sat around a desk. Chen Xiaoyong began to introduce Zhang Jiuquan enthusiastically.
Zhang Jiuquan, Yan Yingshi, is two years ahead of Chen Xiaoyong and is a directing student.
When the award-winning short film "Wedding" was shot, it was Zhang Jiuquan, Chen Xiaoyong, and Tang Yihong who worked together.
Now, so many years have passed, and Chen Xiaoyong has just graduated from the graduate school of Yangzhou Opera and shot the documentary for the anniversary of the Yangzhou Opera.
Tang Yihong, Golden Flower Award winner, is the only actor under the age of thirty who is said to have acting skills.
As for Zhang Jiuquan, he is doing well now and has worked as an assistant director on three production crews.
However, after being in this industry for a long time, Han Zhou knew that even though there is only one word difference between assistant director and director, they are actually very different.
On the set, the assistant director is not responsible for the technical work in the filming of movies and TV series.
The main tasks of the assistant director are:
1. Being the mediator between the director, producer and investors is commonly known as being stuck in a trap.
2. Contact the group leaders, props group, field management group, and actor group, commonly known as shouting microphones (loud public).
3. He makes smiles to star actors, talks to ordinary actors, and helps young actors find their future. He is commonly known as Turtle Gong.
When a big name plays a big role, the assistant director has to apologize immediately.
If the director is unhappy when a big name plays a big role, the assistant director should be the first to agree.
Ordinary actors have requests, but the top management doesn't care. The assistant director has to pull his hair out to find a solution.
When ordinary actors cause trouble, and senior executives come to scold them, they have to hold their ears open and receive the scolding.
There are also some rare but not uncommon situations where young actors want to climb up the ladder through certain three advantages. Investors find mistresses, mistresses, and assistant directors to play the role of prostitutes or matchmakers. They have to rely on soft skills.
I advise you to go too far, and you will be the first person investors sell to in the future.
Is this work something ordinary people can do?
Even a director like Zhang Jiuquan, who graduated from Yanying Film School and once won the Short Film Award at the College Student Film Festival, is having a miserable time in this industry.
There are always fools in the world, but Zhang Jiuquan, who has no background and no confidence, entered this industry and was able to do such a job, which is already a blessing from God.
How many people want to be a receiving bag but are not qualified?
Why should a male investor look for a beautiful woman or a female investor look for a puppy? They have to keep their identities secret, so why should they trust you?
Actresses, sugar daddies, and actors looking for rich women are all desperate to climb up. Since they are climbing up, they are worried about being found out after they become famous, and they have to find someone who believes in them.
Therefore, the assistant director is the softest and toughest person in the entire crew.
Almost all interpersonal relationships on the crew have to be contacted by the assistant director, except that the assistant director does not need to put forward any requirements or opinions of any kind on the art of movies and TV series.
After Zhang Jiuquan had been around for a long time, he felt a little hopeless in this industry.
The real regular crew looks down upon Zhang Jiuquan. You, a newcomer who has graduated a few years ago, will not have your turn.
What? A director who won an award for short films at film festivals? Go check it out. Let’s just say that eight years ago, there was a director who won animation short films awards at domestic and foreign film festivals. He was called the future of animated films. At this time, he was still
He is growing old at home.
The crew was small, there were too many shady scenes and filthiness, and Zhang Jiuquan couldn't stand it.
At this time, Zhang Jiuquan met Chen Xiaoyong.
Long-time friends reunited, and Chen Xiaoyong immediately realized that Zhang Jiuquan was the assistant director Han Zhou needed.
Therefore, Chen Xiaoyong told Zhang Jiuquan that he had joined a powerful new entertainment company that would leave China and enter the world in the future.
I want to recruit Zhang Jiuquan to be the assistant director of the company's first project.
When Zhang Jiuquan heard this, his whole soul was lifted.
Is there such a good thing?
Finally, it’s my turn, Zhang Jiuquan?!
Zhang Jiuquan immediately resigned from his previous crew and followed Chen Xiaoyong to New World Entertainment.
When Zhang Jiuquan saw this dilapidated office building, he comforted himself: "It's okay. With such a building, the funds are quite strong."
After knowing for sure that only the third floor belonged to New World Entertainment, Zhang Jiuquan comforted himself: "It's okay. Good steel is used on the cutting edge and not ostentatious in the layout of the office area. This shows the ambition of this company."
When I saw the office area on the third floor, there was not a single staff member, not even the front desk.
Zhang Jiuquan comforted himself: "It's okay. This shows that the boss of the company does not stick to trivial matters... Ma De can't continue editing!"
"Chen Xiaoyong, you beast, you actually tricked me into engaging in a pyramid scheme with you?!"
Chen Xiaoyong explained at the time that this was really an entertainment company. The boss was called Han Zhou. The first movie he wrote, directed and starred in, Tianle Distribution, was about to be released nationwide on New Year's Day.
More than 17 major theater chains have given filming quotas!
This is very objective. Zhang Jiuquan feels that New World should be given a chance.
At this time, Zhang Jiuquan searched for Han Zhou's name and found that there were widespread rumors on the Internet that Han Zhou was a schizophrenic patient.
Zhang Jiuquan couldn't bear it anymore.
Run, you must run!
But Chen Xiaoyong talked about Han Zhou's awesomeness and Han Zhou's awesomeness in writing scripts.
Zhang Jiuquan didn't believe it.
Chen Xiaoyong dictated half of "This Man Came from the Earth", why is there only half of it? Because there is another half that Chen Xiaoyong has not seen.
And half of the oral script of "This Man is from Earth" gave Zhang Jiuquan a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, this is really an ambitious company?
Then, Zhang Jiuquan discovered that Chen Xiaoyong lived in the company's office area, and even allowed himself to live in the office area as well.
Zhang Jiuquan is confirmed.
MLM, this is MLM.
It's so hyped that a group of people sleep in this environment, start classes when they have nothing to do, and then talk about a very attractive but incomplete plan.
This is not a pyramid scheme, but some kind of laziness?
Zhang Jiuquan wanted to leave again.
At this time, Han Zhou came back.
Han Zhou sat at his desk, carefully read Zhang Jiuquan, took out his cigarette case, and took out a Yuxi: "Smoke a cigarette."
Zhang Jiuquan hesitated for a moment, lit the cigarette and hung it in his mouth.
Han Zhou looked at the Tashan cigarette case in Zhang Jiuquan's hand and said, "Fuck with me, and I'll say goodbye to Tashan from now on."
"No matter what, I will smoke Yuxi, and it can't be lowered."
The flesh on Zhang Jiuquan's face twitched.
Han Zhou asked again: "Besides "The Wedding", which other crews have you worked on?"
Zhang Jiuquan: ""Twins in the World", "Happy 1987" and the TV series "Swordsman King Mountain"."
Han Zhou frowned: "Huh? "In Troubled Times" and "West Wind 1987"? You are the assistant director of these two movies??? "The King of Swordsmen"? Why haven't you heard of them?"
Zhang Jiuquan laughed awkwardly: "Twins in the world are twins. Twins are happy to meet. They are overjoyed to meet. They are happy to meet and bite everyone they meet."
"Swordsman Wang Shan has not been on satellite TV, has not been released on DVD, and has not been broadcast on the website."
Han Zhou...
These two movies...are they in conflict?
This TV series... Every year, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of TV series across the country that have no chance to be broadcast. There are two to three thousand TV series that are not even qualified to be made into discs. Obviously, "The Swordsman King Mountain" is one of them.
.
While speechless, he looked at Chen Xiaoyong: "The cultural level of our team cannot be too low. What are twins called twins? I'll give you some money and buy some books."
"It's good to see more."
Zhang Jiuquan: "..."
Chen Xiaoyong wrote in his small notebook: "Remember."
Han Zhou looked at Zhang Jiuquan: "To be honest with your resume..."
"Two movies that are not popular with others, and one TV series that is struggling to get on TV, not just on satellite TV."
"This experience is relatively poor in our New World Entertainment."
"But I, Han Zhou, just like to do challenging things."
"In the future, you will definitely be famous in the circle. If you have a piece of my flesh, you will have a bone."
"If I have a mouthful of white rice, you will have a mouthful of rice soup."
As he spoke, Han Zhou tapped his fingers on the table: "In the future, when the company becomes bigger, I can organize a game for you and let you be the director."
Zhang Jiuquan: Let’s be convinced, this is definitely a pyramid scheme!
Zhang Jiuquan smiled awkwardly: "Director Han, just tell me, if I don't want to stay, can you let me go?"
Han Zhou: "Okay."
Zhang Jiuquan immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Chen Xiaoyong, goodbye in the world...it's better not to see each other anymore. Today, you and I have to cut off our robes to cut off our friendship. The short down jacket we are wearing has no robe to cut off, so we have to shave instead!"
Chen Xiaoyong was anxious: "How can he leave! Brother Han, please advise me, how can I let him go? Didn't we say that the filming of our new movie will start soon?!"
"It's hard to find an assistant director now!"
At this time, Zhang Jiuquan was shaving.
Han Zhou tapped his fingers on the table: "Haha, my new movie has the female lead Ye Manyi, the second female lead Liu Xi, and the fifth male lead Zhou Guoqing. With this configuration, if you just shout with the horn, you can drive a car around the studio.
The assistant director is back."
Zhang Jiuquan, who had shaved his beard, was stunned: "Who is the female lead? Ye Manyi?"
Who is Ye Manyi? She is as famous as half Liu Tianxian, and she has acting skills and ideas.
Who is Liu Xi? She debuted as a child star, became a second-tier star as soon as she became an adult, and steadily moved towards the second-tier star.
Who is Zhou Guoqing? He can probably be regarded as half a fat version of Chen Baoguo.
With this configuration, are you kidding me?
Zhang Jiuquan silently put away the electric razor that cost about thirty yuan: "Director Han, can you tell us about our plan?"
Han Zhou looked at Zhang Jiuquan doubtfully: "Don't you want to shave?"
Zhang Jiuquan's bearded face made people's scalp numb and goosebumps fell all over the floor. He pinched the orchid with his fingers and winked: "The beard will grow in a few days."
Chen Xiaoyong patted Zhang Jiuquan on the shoulder: "Have you ever been an assistant director on a production crew of this caliber? If Brother Han didn't care about my face, would he have given me this opportunity?"
"Yes, yes, thank you to my second brother!" Zhang Jiuquan: "My second brother is awesome!"
"That's right, my second brother is invincible in the world... What nonsense are you talking about? Let's talk about business!" Han Zhou smiled: "Oh? It seems that he is willing to stay?"
"I said Jiu, we don't have many people in the crew, so everyone's tasks are very heavy. Can they handle it?"
Han Zhou found it difficult to pronounce the name Zhang Jiuquan, so he directly applied it according to the formula "Chen Xiaoyong = two", 'Zhang Jiuquan = nine'.
"Why not San'er, why Jiu?"
"It's this nine. I'm not very happy with it yet. Who knows where our New World Entertainment number 345678 is? This seat may not be enough in the future."
Zhang Jiuquan flattered: "That's of course, that's of course. At my level, in the future New World Entertainment, I will be ranked among the eight hundred most powerful figures at most."
Han Zhou: "Answer the question, answer the question, don't be too talkative."
Zhang Jiuquan clapped his chest: "Young, bear the burden!"
"The more work you do, the more experience you get."
“What I wish for!”
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you!"
I don’t dare to invite you, you really think you are from Yan...
Han Zhou: "Okay, then, Chen Xiaoyong, you will be in charge of the money, and Zhang Jiuquan, you will be in charge of the specific layout and organization."
"I want a house in the suburbs with nice scenery and a fire pit indoors..."
"There are also replicas of Sanxingdui bronze masks, Paleolithic stone knives from 11,000 years ago, replicas of Wu Daozi's paintings of ladies, and..."
As he said this, Han Zhou simply started writing a list of tools.
"These."
Zhang Jiuquan patted his chest: "Brother Han, just tell me whether the props will be destroyed during the filming process. If not..."
"I can't say anything about the Sanxingdui bronze mask, and I can't guarantee that Wu Daozi's paintings will work. For other things, I'll borrow real ones for you!"
Han Zhou was also stunned.
This Zhang Jiuquan is a capable person. Does this mean that it is possible to borrow the authentic painting of Wu Daozi’s ladies? And the prehistoric Paleolithic artifacts can be obtained 100% of the time.
As expected, those who work as assistant directors are all good at communication.
"No! If you dare to borrow that thing, I won't dare to use it."
The price of a pair of Wu Daozi's original works is definitely over one billion, making it a priceless treasure.
"Anyway, let's move."
"Tomorrow I will lead a preview with the actors. You only have one day to get the venue and props. Once done, start filming."
In fact, there are two days, but Han Zhou said this deliberately to put pressure on Zhang Jiuquan.
Zhang Jiuquan boasted: "On Hengdian Street, you can find out who the father is. These things can be done in half a day!"
Chen Xiaoyong laughed happily: "Hengdian, listen up, your eldest father is here!"
Han Zhou sneered: "Grandpa, do it again."
Chen Xiaoyong was stunned: "Hey? Brother Han, how do you give yourself the status of elder?"
"Who told you to dare to call me daddy? Aren't you helping me move up the hierarchy?"
"I was wrong, wrong, I am the second father, the second father."
