"Yes, nowadays everyone is trying to make movies quickly and save trouble. Although there are some good and well-crafted movies, there are more and more bad ones." Liu Zhenwei said with emotion.
"Because of this, I think some changes should be made.
As you all know, I have acquired Castle Film Company in the United States and established a separate film and television special effects studio.
I will arrange for Youlian employees to go to the United States in batches to receive training and internships, and strive to form a formalized film and television production process within Youlian.
You are coming to the mainland this time and will go to the capital in a few days to negotiate with the mainland side about cooperating in the filming of the movie "Terracotta Warriors". If we can negotiate, I will suggest that the director and producer use a lot of real-life shooting during the filming process.
If there are some war scenes in the script, a large number of extras can be organized to participate in the filming, and you can even apply for personnel and equipment support from the local garrison.
Director Zhang Yimou, who was signed by the company, will not only be the male lead this time, but he will also hold a position on the crew, responsible for coordinating the relationship between the cast and crew of the two places, as well as communicating with the local government.
I don’t want the so-called big scene to be shot and only have thirty or forty actors in the picture. It’s just a melee between Hong Kong societies, not a war at all.”
Liu Zhenwei said happily: "The company asked me to be Director Cheng's deputy. I was a little reluctant at first. I can be regarded as a director with a box office of over 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Can I still help others?"
"Yes, yes, then why are you still willing to come? It's better to be someone else's deputy than to work alone, right?" Sun Yuanyuan on the side blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
Liu Zhenwei is fair and fat, has a smiling face, and is very childish. The second child has been following him everywhere in the resort for the past two days, so he has become familiar with him.
Liu Zhenwei said with a smile: "Director Cheng is a martial arts practitioner. He is straight-tempered and has a bit of a temper. He is not very familiar with the people in the company. The company arranged for me to be the assistant director in order to harmonize the atmosphere of the crew.
But now it seems that this job is really interesting. I dare say that there are not many directors in Hong Kong who have experience in shooting large-scale scenes. Although mainland film production is relatively backward, the experience in this area is indeed very rich.
of.
If we can reach cooperation with the mainland this time, we should also hire a mainland assistant director to be responsible for the organization and scheduling of big scenes, and I can follow suit."
Okay, this guy is thinking about stealing his master now.
Sun Dahai nodded towards Liu Zhenwei and said: "Actually, Director Zhang is fully capable of this. But he is playing the leading role this time and has other work to do on the crew. He is already very busy, so the assistant director does not need him.
.
However, if the project is approved, I will ask him to introduce an experienced person to be the assistant director.
If you want to learn, just seize the opportunity and follow it.
Although Xiangjiang's film industry is developed, it is becoming more and more petty.
The producers blindly lowered the cost of filming and the income of the actors and actresses. They wished they could go into a studio and shoot the movie as a TV series.
I think this trend is wrong and will destroy the Hong Kong film industry and Hong Kong filmmakers.
Youlian was reorganized last year. Starting from this year, it will gradually increase investment in film projects, increase shooting costs, and gradually increase the remuneration of actors and actresses.
It turns out that we have not yet established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, so we cannot do many things. Now that the company is slowly developing, we must make our own voice heard at the appropriate time.
In the past, we had to give more money to the actors and actresses, using the method of box office red envelopes, which was secretive to avoid incurring resistance from peers.
Starting from this year, we will make things like this visible, step by step, and strive to double the income of the cast, crew and key staff within three years."
"Wow, boss, you are really great. If this continues, I will be able to buy a house in a few years." Liu Zhenwei was extremely happy.
Sun Dahai looked at Fat Putao in surprise and said to him casually: "No way, this is just a policy for ordinary crew members or cast members, do you also like it?
What you need to fight for in the future is the right to share dividends from directing projects. Do things like remuneration and salary mean anything to you?"
Sun Dahai's words made Liu Zhenwei faint.
Liu Zhenwei is not a senior executive of Youlian, so he is not very clear about the development plan formulated by Youlian.
However, Sun Dahai was very optimistic about him, so he deliberately revealed a few words to him here to enhance his confidence in this job, or in Youlian.
…
The door of the tea room opened, and Senior Official Guan and Qiao Hongwei walked out together, followed by Director Zhao, Secretary Shen, Park Rick and Chen Feng, who also attended the meeting.
Sun Dahai's guess was correct. Fortunately, he was not in the tea room. Otherwise, unless he revealed his true identity, he would probably be kicked out by the staff around the senior official.
Guan Gaoguan and Qiao Hongwei were both smiling at this time. After shaking hands, they went back to their rooms to rest. They would have dinner together later.
Senior official Guan arrived at the resort. Accompanied by Qiao Hongwei and others, he took a brief tour, and then went to the teahouse with Qiao Hongwei for a meeting that lasted nearly an hour.
Returning to the "Jiayi International Suite No. 1" where he was staying, Senior Official Guan sat on the large and comfortable American-style sofa and fell into deep thought.
Secretary Shen did not disturb him, but poured him a glass of warm water and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
After a while, Senior Official Guan moved his neck, picked up an iron "Zhonghua" cigarette barrel from the coffee table, took one out and put it to his mouth.
Secretary Shen quickly took out his lighter, lit a cigarette for Senior Official Guan, and asked softly: "Senior Official, did your meeting with Mr. Qiao not meet your expectations?"
Secretary Shen has learned about some of Senior Official Guan's habits. He knows that now is the time when Senior Official Guan is relaxing his mind, wanting to communicate with people around him, and looking for some work inspiration through conversations.
Senior official Guan leaned on the sofa, gently exhaled the smoke in his lungs, and then said: "This meeting is very helpful for me to sort out my future work ideas and grasp the key points of my work.
Although Mr. Qiao is young, he is still very capable. The few suggestions he made casually are all targeted and highly targeted, and once these suggestions can be implemented and implemented, they can truly solve the problems faced by the province.
.
But although everyone knows in their hearts, if these suggestions are to be implemented, it is not up to us.
Even if the central government wants to implement it, I'm afraid it will face considerable resistance when organizing various departments to conduct discussions."
