Chapter 867 'Soldier Assault' and 'My Commander, My Regiment'
"If you have any questions, you can contact Mo Cheng directly. If you don't have enough authority, contact me directly and we will try our best to help you." Han San said.
Fang Mocheng nodded and said: "Director Han is usually very busy, so he may not be able to give you feedback at the first time. You can come to me and I will implement it immediately if I can help."
"I'm not polite when Director Han says that." Chen Mubai replied: "If there is any need for help, I will definitely ask for help. We will produce this movie so that foreigners can also watch Chinese science fiction movies!"
A few people don't care about a movie with an investment of billions, as if they have negotiated an investment of several million...
It has to be said that everyone present has a high worth and status. Everyone knows that the actual significance of this movie is far greater than the monetary return of the box office. There are too many intangible things that will be affected.
When "Iron Man" is released, it will be the day that China officially opens the door to science fiction movies. That year will also be the first year, and it will leave heavy footprints in the history of Chinese movies!
"Director Han, I would like to ask, what do you think of "Operation Red Sea"?" Chen Mubai suddenly asked.
Han San made no secret of his appreciation: "It's very good. This movie is very satisfying. It captures all the blood and discipline of Chinese soldiers."
"You don't know, just because of your movie, the number of people enlisting in the army has increased a lot in the past two years compared with previous years. More passionate men want to become soldiers and protect their families and the country!"
A smile appeared on Chen Mubai's lips: "That's just right. I have two TV series here, both with military themes. They can be co-produced with Huaying. I have written the scripts."
"Really?" Han San looked happy, unable to hide the surprise on his face.
The quality of Chen Mubai's script is very high. Han San knows that if it is written by him, it will definitely be good. If this drama is produced for the military, it will promote positive images of military perseverance, spirit and so on. It will be a complete success.
It's a very meaningful thing, and he can also gain the favor of the military.
He is from the Propaganda Department, so it doesn't matter if he is in the military, but if he gains the favor of the military, it will be helpful for his future promotion. After all, it is a political resource.
"Yeah." Chen Mubai nodded.
"Okay, let's cooperate on this project!" Han San looked overjoyed.
Even though he hasn't read the script yet, he has already agreed to the cooperation.
"I will send the script to you tomorrow. You can read the script before making a decision."
Chen Mubai was not dazzled by joy, but was well-founded in his advance and retreat. Now Han San was just impulsive, and what he said should not be taken completely seriously. If he regretted it, today's promise would make him unable to get off.
If that happens, it will affect the relationship between the two parties. Chen Mubai's words are equivalent to giving both parties a buffer. Even if he is not satisfied with the script, he can still reject it.
"No problem." Han San glanced at Chen Mubai thoughtfully, very satisfied with his answer.
He is neither arrogant nor impatient, advances and retreats in a measured manner, he is truly an outstanding young man!
"We must vigorously promote this kind of work that promotes the image of our country's soldiers. I also want to vote for this drama. Director Han, Mu Bai, what do you think?" Peng Liang asked with a smile.
Although WeChat and Mubai Entertainment have reached a cooperation, the two parties are really interested in foreign works, and they are basically movies. There is basically no cooperation in TV series.
The works they are talking about this time must be domestic works. Strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with WeChat.
"No problem." Chen Mubai said cheerfully: "Everyone can vote, and we are partners in the first place. Besides, your WeChat promotion channel can let more people know about the work, which is beneficial to the promotion of the work so that everyone can see it.
The life of a Chinese soldier!"
"That's right!" Han San nodded in agreement with Chen Mubai's words.
"Then I'd like to thank you very much." Peng Liang smiled.
"Brother Liang, you're welcome. We are allies, as we should be." Chen Mubai replied.
WeChat's pan-entertainment group in China is involved in all walks of life. It covers all aspects of people's lives. Therefore, in terms of publicity channels, it is unique in China. No company has greater influence than it.
Therefore, the addition of WeChat can indeed maximize the publicity of the work, and this kind of TV series must be launched on an online TV station, so the large-scale publicity effect will be apparent.
Going to the cinema to watch a movie requires money to buy a ticket. Even if many people see this promotion, they may not go to the cinema to support the work. However, since the TV station is free to watch, curiosity will still rise and they may go and take a look.
In addition to young people, there are also some middle-aged and elderly people in military-themed works. Some of them have experience as soldiers and respect soldiers from the bottom of their hearts. If they see TV series with this type of theme, they will also be interested.
The dinner ended with a cup of wine. Everyone got what they wanted and felt very happy.
After the show ended, everyone parted ways.
Chen Mubai and Tao Qingchao left together.
"You did a great job just now." Tao Qingchao praised Chen Mubai's performance at the dinner.
To be able to start such a big company at such a young age, in addition to your own talents, you also need to have an all-round way of doing things in order to be like a fish in water.
It is very important not to offend others, otherwise it will be easy to become enemies and encounter obstacles everywhere.
Looking at Chen Mubai's rise, he was truly a sworn enemy of Starway Entertainment. Although there were conflicts later in Jiaxing's economy, he still resolved the conflicts and gained a lot of benefits.
There are also some who encountered some hidden opponents due to profit issues during the development and growth of the company. With the rise of Mubai Entertainment, those people gradually disappeared.
Chen Mubai has always done a good job in this regard. He is not too aggressive in front of the media and does not cause trouble in private. Therefore, he rarely makes enemies with others.
Tao Qingchao asked himself, at Chen Mubai's age, he could not do as well as him.
"It is very important for you and the company to maintain a friendly relationship with the authorities. It will give you a lot of protection and reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Tao Qingchao continued: "Our company is not involved in the film and television industry much, so the help we can give you is limited. Anyway, if you are short of money, come to me, and all I can provide is funds."
"I can give you a little more money for your billion-dollar movie. You can go ahead and make it without worrying about funding. Although I don't know your plans, I know that you must have made the decision after careful consideration.
, I believe your plan will succeed."
"Thank you, uncle!" Chen Mubai said touchedly.
Regardless of whether he needs money or not, Tao Qingchao's attitude has been made clear, and this is the most important thing.
Tao Qingchao was very generous to him. What is the most important place for filming?
It’s not the actors, it’s not the script, it’s the money!
Without money, everything is in vain. Money can guarantee the minimum quality of a movie, but actors and scripts can guarantee the upper limit of a movie.
"Thank you no matter what, we are all a family. From now on, everything I have will belong to you. I am very happy to be able to help you." Tao Qingchao said with a deep smile.
Tao Yaoyao has already identified Chen Mubai, and Tao Qingchao can naturally see that Chen Mubai's character has become clear to him over the years, and he is a person worthy of trusting him for life.
Being well-founded when advancing and retreating, and not being arrogant or impetuous are all rare qualities for young people.
"Uncle is so important to us, we will definitely succeed!" Chen Mubai was very confident.
This actually has two meanings. The first one is to answer Tao Qingchao's help to them. Chen Mubai did not directly say that Tao Qingchao's help was important, but said that he was important to them. The subtext meant that Tao Qingchao was the most important person, and
It's not that you need his help.
Another meaning is about Tao Yaoyao. We are all a family. This is a hint that Tao Qingchao has identified Chen Mubai and regards him as his son-in-law and relative, so he will do his best to help him. Chen Mubai also responded to this question,
It will definitely come true.
It also shows his feelings for Tao Yaoyao. He will be good to Tao Yaoyao and give her happiness. This is his guarantee to Tao Qingchao.
Both parties are smart people, and they can tell the truth at once.
After Tao Qingchao heard this, he actually showed a deeper smile.
Such an outstanding young man is my son-in-law, what a joyful thing it is.
...
The next day, Chen Mubai gave the two scripts to Han San.
""My Commander, My Regiment", "Soldier Assault."" Han San looked at the names of the two scripts in his hand and read them out.
Judging from the name, it is indeed a military film. As for the content, we need to look further.
"Mo Cheng, let's take a look at each one and then make a decision." Han San said.
These two scripts were also sent over by Fang Mocheng. As the person in charge of the theater chain, he still has some control over the popular elements of current works. After all, the theater line's film arrangement does not entirely depend on the starring lineup, production lineup, investment, etc.
We will also look at works under similar circumstances to see which of the elements in the work is more likely to win favor from the market.
Although this is not 100% accurate, it is of great reference significance and many popular works usually have traces to follow.
Han San's idea is to pick the better one from the two scripts for filming. If the quality of the script is relatively high, the filmed work will be more popular and more topical.
"Okay, Director Han." Fang Mocheng nodded.
"I'm reading this one, "Soldier Assault," and you can read the other one."
The two of them each chose a book and started watching.
There is nothing else to do today. The most important thing for them at the moment is to determine the works to be shot, then set up the project and shoot.
As for the script, after they have considered it, they will send it to the military to see if they are willing to provide a location for filming. These are necessary things that require negotiation and take time.
The army is also divided into several branches, and the content that can be photographed is also different, which is not something they can decide.
Because it is a script, the number of words is very small, far less lengthy than a novel, and the visuals are very strong. There are some contents that made Han San excited to read it!
Soon, he had read through most of the script and became immersed in the story.
The same goes for Fang Mocheng. He saw the passionate spirit of Chinese soldiers who never give up and was inspired by it. He also saw the iron-clad comrades who can trust each other with their backs on the battlefield. He also found the plot thrilling.
Intoxicating.
The two of them just looked at the contents of the script quietly, and time passed by quietly. The room was quiet, with only the sound of flipping paper. They were both immersed in the story, and there was no need to disturb the other.
Until the morning sun rises, the red sun in the morning becomes hotter and hotter, and the color changes from orange to golden. The sunlight shines into the office through the glass. Because it is a high-rise building, the lighting is excellent. If you look out the window, even
Can see dazzling white light!
Sunlight was projected on Han San's desk and shone on the script. He read this for a while and felt his eyes were a little tired. He was about to close the curtains and continue reading the last part.
After the blinds were pulled up, the sunlight in the room dimmed instantly. The sound of pulling the blinds was very quiet, but there was still a lot of noise in the quiet room. Fang Mocheng's eyes moved away from the script.
Han San turned around and was stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Mocheng still in the office.
"You haven't left yet?"
After Han San said it, he thought about it and felt a little embarrassed.
He had forgotten that Fang Mocheng had not left, and the two of them had been looking at each other for several hours. Because Han San told his secretary in the morning not to disturb him if there was no big deal, no one came to disturb them for several hours.
So he immediately asked: "How are you seeing?"
Fang Mocheng knew that Han San was embarrassed, so he immediately jumped away from that matter and moved on to the next topic.
"I think "My Commander, My Regiment" is very good. The story is also very passionate. It completely depicts the heroic and passionate side of Chinese soldiers!"
"oh?"
Han San was a little surprised. He didn't doubt Fang Mocheng's appreciation ability. He was just a little surprised by the quality of the script. Could it be that both Chen Mubai's scripts were very good?
Yesterday at the dinner table, after Chen Mubai said that there were two military-themed works, he thought that Chen Mubai was asking them to choose one of the two to see which one they would choose, but he did not expect that both of them were excellent.
Could it be possible to do both?
Han San glanced at the script in Fang Mocheng's hand and said, "Pick out a few clips that you think are outstanding. I'll take a look, and you can take a look at my script."
The two recommended each other excellent places and exchanged scripts to watch.
Even if the script is not long, they can't exchange the script and spend a few hours reading it. This will be a serious waste of time and energy. They can't spend all their time on the script, select selected clips from each other, and then watch it.
It is the fastest place to learn about the outstanding points of left and right.
Just like when you watch a comedy movie, you only need to see whether its laughter is funny enough, which is its selling point and advantage, not whether it can move you.
If a comedy makes you unable to laugh throughout the whole process, but makes you feel boring or sad, then it is definitely not a successful comedy.
Although not every comedy can make you cry and laugh at the same time, a comedy that can't make you laugh is definitely not a good comedy movie!
After the two of them each selected a few clips, they watched each other in exchange.
After a while, both of their eyes lit up, with a look of surprise on their faces.
"Chen Mubai is indeed a genius!" Han San said with emotion.
"Yes." Fang Mocheng agreed: "Both works are excellent, and judging from the content and style, they are obviously written by one person, which shows that this is a work created by him personally!"
"As far as I know, he has never been a soldier, but he can write such excellent works. Combined with "Operation Red Sea", he should have had a detailed understanding of Chinese soldiers. It is even possible that these scripts are
I wrote the script after listening to other people’s dictation!”
Han San nodded in agreement and said with admiration: "It's not impossible. When filming "Operation Red Sea", he was able to come into contact with the military. As an actor, he also had a background as a special operations team member. During the filming process, he chatted with them.
Their military life couldn't be more normal."
"To be able to write such an excellent script through the content dictated by others is truly outstanding. No wonder the audience is willing to pay for his works."
"Then which one should we choose?" Fang Mocheng asked.
Han San thought for a while and said: "Send both scripts to the military. Explain this matter clearly to them and let them make a decision. With the quality of these two scripts, no matter which one is shot, they should be similar."
.”
Fang Mocheng nodded: "Yes, Chen Mubai's script is indeed excellent and logically rigorous."
Chen Mubai's scripts are different from others. If you analyze many of his scripts in detail, you will feel that they are very powerful and have rich observations on life and characters.
Just like the real situation of the patients in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the line "poor disease" and other lines are very straightforward and hit people's hearts. The key is that they are still right!
Unlike some people's scripts, which look very powerful and clear, they can fool laymen, but they won't work for insiders.
There is a saying that goes like this, [When I feel that many things a person says are very reasonable, and he seems to know the inside story of it, and his talent is amazing, it is not until he talks about my career that I realize that he is all the same.
Rhetoric.]
In reality, many "understanding brothers" don't talk much. They seem to understand everything, but in fact they understand nothing. They only know a few superficial things and talk loudly about them.
The same is true in film and television dramas. Excellent film and television dramas come from excellent scripts. It is precisely because they are professional enough that people can see the sincerity and quality, so that everyone can see the profound content and meaning of the work.
For example, Chen Mubai's early works "Struggle" and "The Age of Naked Marriage" talked about the two different living conditions of college students and those after entering society, as well as the inner emotional struggles of the characters.
The topic of naked marriage is a cliché, and everyone has different opinions. Chen Mubai did not say that naked marriage is bad, otherwise Liu Yiyang and Tong Jiaqian would not be allowed to marry, but he used their personalities and family backgrounds to tell you that naked marriage
Possible problems, none of these behaviors are beyond the character of the characters.
That is to say, Liu Yiyang and Tong Jiaqian did not change their personalities because of their marriage. They have always been like this. When they quarreled, it was not because they were not in love, but because of their temperaments. The actions of the characters followed their personalities. There was no talk of love before marriage, but suddenly they fell into love after marriage.
Becoming bad, getting into fights, or cheating and turning into a scumbag, this kind of thing destroys the character's character.
When nothing went wrong, problems arose in the final naked marriage of the two. This is the scariest part, because this is a series of problems caused by naked marriage, and it is also a common problem in life.
Marriage with children and marriage without children are two different things. Just like before Tong Jiaqian got married, her mother did not want her to marry Liu Yiyang because his family was not good. But after they got married, the two wanted to divorce, and Tong Jiaqian's mother started to
I advise my daughter not to get divorced because there is a difference between before marriage and after marriage.
It is after these straightforward and touching truths are told that everyone can learn something different from them. After all, not everyone has those "experiences", so this is an experience. After you read the work,
You can do it, but you have to consider the possible problems and consequences. This is the reflection and reflection of some social phenomena that excellent movies and TV dramas bring you.
There is another kind of person who is a "brother who understands" and talks arrogantly. To outsiders, what he says seems reasonable and logical, but in fact the core cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
For example, there are works in which soldiers grow their hair long and wear hats, making them look like pretty boys. Is it possible?
Regardless of the show's statistics, its most basic common sense is wrong.
Movies and TV dramas can use some exaggerated techniques to express, but they should not be too based on common sense. This is bugs. Excellent works must have very few bugs, and movies with many bugs must be bad. This is true for both movies and TV series.
Just like the popular "Prison Break", the protagonist spent one season successfully escaping from prison. He made a lot of preparations for his escape. In real life, would anyone tattoo a map on their body?
Although it is impossible, it is not impossible to achieve. In addition, the way he escaped from prison and many of the things he did were to prepare for the escape, which gave the audience a strong sense of participation and discussion. All the actions of the protagonist are reasonable.
And those dramatic plots that are possible are just a means of expression.
The plot of the jailbreak can withstand scrutiny, so there are not too many bugs. Just like the protagonists climbed out of the wall or were picked up from prison, these are unconventional bugs.
After Han San contacted the person, he went to the banquet with the script in the evening.
At the dinner table, everyone was enjoying themselves, and both scripts were taken away.
The next day, news came that the military agreed to provide venues and personnel for filming, but they hoped to produce both!
Han San was not too surprised after receiving the reply.
For the military, with such a high-quality script, it would be a surprise if it was released but not filmed.
There are too many police and gangster movies, all of which promote the image of the police. Therefore, the police have a high status in people's hearts and have a good image. On the contrary, there are very few military-themed movies. The iron-blooded image of soldiers is rarely promoted. Now that there is an opportunity, how could you give up?
This good opportunity?
Military-themed movies are rarely created because those who are real screenwriters don’t know much about soldiers. Everyone will choose relatively familiar areas to create, so the military part was abandoned.
