""Horror Cruise" is a brand new version of a horror and suspense movie that audiences have never seen before!"
"Tang An, director of "Shark Beach", was interviewed by reporters yesterday and said that "Terror Cruise" will be an innovative film that is different from most previous horror films!"
"The location of the story has been changed from the sea to the cruise ship. What kind of terrifying journey will Director Tang An bring to the audience this time?"
"The story also takes place on a cruise ship. Is this a horror movie version of "Titanic"?"
"This summer, emerging director Tang An's new film "Cruise of Terror" will be available in major domestic theaters. Let's look forward to it together!"
There were no popular movies released in March, and the domestic movie market was as lukewarm as ever. Some media took out "Terror Cruise" to promote it.
In this era, people have limited channels for receiving information, especially on the Internet. Basically, they can only learn about major events in various industries through major portals and some forums.
It's only been half a year since "Shark Tank" was released, and it's still a bit popular, so the audience won't forget it so quickly.
In addition, the media also reported on the launch day, so most movie fans know that the director of "Shark Tank" has made another horror film called "Terror Cruise".
"Director Tang has made another horror film. I hope it will be another masterpiece like "Shark Beach"!"
"There are too many restrictions in China now, and there are not many directors who can make a horror film within so many rules and regulations!"
"What is it specifically about? I can't guess it from just the title!"
"The starring roles of Lao Xu and Lu Yi are worth looking forward to!"
"Nowadays, there are no horror movies in China at all. In the end, they all turn into suspense movies. I hope this movie can scare me!"
"I will go to the cinema with my girlfriend to support him!"
...
At the Huairou Film and Television Base, Tang An read the newspaper. Yesterday, the premiere of "Letter from a Strange Woman" was quite successful, and the media also praised it, but he didn't know the specific box office performance!
When I came to the studio, I first asked the assistant director Zhang Yiping about yesterday's shooting.
"Don't worry, director, everyone was in good condition yesterday, and those two scenes went very well!"
As Zhang Yiping spoke, he pulled out the content taken yesterday and asked Tang An to check it.
Tang An sat in front of the monitor and began to watch it over and over again.
"Yes, there's no problem. Go ahead and let everyone get ready!" Tang An nodded.
"Hey, good director Tang!" Zhang Yiping breathed a sigh of relief, responded and went to greet various departments to start preparing for filming.
At this time, the production producer Zhao Lei trotted forward, holding a small notebook in his hand, and said with a flattering face, "Director."
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Lei hesitated for a moment, then handed over the small notebook, "I have re-checked the previous bills in the past two days and found some calculation errors, so I revised them again. Director Tang, please take a look."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Lao Zhao!" Tang An looked at this nervous-looking man in his 30s and took the bill.
"No hard work, no hard work!"
Zhao Lei stared closely at Tang An's hand looking at the bill, his palms were covered in sweat, and his heart twitched every time Tang An's hand paused.
Under his trembling eyes, Tang An flipped through it casually and returned the bill to him.
"There is no problem with the accounts. Lao Zhao, you are also a veteran producer. I can still trust this professional ability. Please report it to Mr. Xu!" Tang An nodded and said with satisfaction.
call!
Zhao Lei felt relieved and said quickly, "Okay, Director Tang, I'll be there right away!"
"Wait!"
Just as he turned around, Tang An called him again.
Zhao Lei paused, turned around stiffly, and cold sweat began to flow from his head, "Director Tang?"
Tang An didn't seem to notice anything unusual about him, and said with a smile, "I see that everyone's work has been a bit messy these days when Director Sun is away. Let's do this. From now on, Old Zhao, you will take over Director Sun's work and serve as the crew's director."
Production Director!”
ah....
Zhao Lei looked confused, then felt ecstatic and nodded, "Thank you, director, thank you director!"
"Don't be too busy to be happy. If you, the production director, can't do a good job, I will replace you at any time. During the lunch break, you have a meeting with several producers to clearly divide the tasks. You must ensure that the crew's logistics work is in order. You can't
There is the slightest bit of confusion and error!" Tang An warned seriously.
"Yes, it's no problem, Director Tang. Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Zhao Lei promised again and again.
Production director, for many middle-level people on the production team, it is an almost impossible gap to cross!
It's like recording to the assistant director.
From assistant director to director, many people have not been able to take this step for more than ten or twenty years.
Don't look at the difference between producer and production director. There is a world of difference between these two words. One is the leader of an ordinary department, and the latter basically has one foot in the senior ranks of the crew.
This is also the limit that people like them who have no connections all the way up from the bottom can reach.
Moving on to the previous film, that is a producer who can lead a project and is assigned by the investor to be responsible for all aspects of the crew, including the right to advise on actor selection, and can even check and balance the director.
But it’s impossible to get anywhere without a relationship!
Just because of his "knowledge", he has reached the pinnacle of life in one step. Zhao Lei is now extremely grateful for his choice.
And those who mocked themselves for being timid before!
However, when a new officer takes office, he still needs the assistance of several producers under him. If they collectively don't like him, then he still can't be a good production director.
As for moving out of Tang An to scare them, Zhao Lei immediately vetoed it.
Wang Zhenguo, Xu Tao and others also discovered Zhao Lei's movements. When they saw him handing a small book to Tang An, they immediately knew what was going on!
"Made, this Zhao Lei has been kicked in the head by a donkey!" Life producer Xu Tao cursed in a low voice.
The crew started working, and he was responsible for the food and lodging of the hundreds of people in the crew. He finally managed to get some soup. Now Zhao Lei took the initiative to confess that it would be terrible if he was implicated.
"Can you take the initiative to admit such a thing!"
"Old Zhao is just being cautious. It seems that I won't be able to take him with me if anything happens in the future!"
Zhao Lei walked up to the crowd with his head held high and took in all their expressions. He cursed in his heart for being short-sighted and said nothing.
"Zhao Lei, have you asked Director Tang to surrender?"
"You are so coward, don't hurt us!"
"If we are involved in an audit, just wait and see!"
Everyone scolded Zhao Lei for his timid and unloyal behavior.
But before the plan was revealed, Tang An was already shouting with a loudspeaker over there.
"Everyone, stop for a moment!"
"From now on, the production director Zhao Lei will serve as the production director. Due to the resignation of Director Sun, the crew's accounts were a bit confusing. Now we ask several producers and team leaders to go back and take the time to re-check the accounts, and finally summarize them for the production
Film director!”
Tang An's words made everyone who originally accused Zhao Lei dumbfounded!
