Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 772 (Subscription)

Zhao Hong started to go to the mainland in June, and the filming of the movie "Journey to the West" is about to start.

He originally wanted to start in July, but he learned that the temperature in Zhenbeibao in July and August is very high, which is not suitable for shooting outdoor scenes. After all, the temperature of nearly 40 degrees is really not so acceptable.

Therefore, Zhao Hong had to film outdoor scenes in advance, and it is not surprising to go to the mainland in advance.

When they went to the mainland, they directly chartered a plane.

"Director Zhao is really too extravagant. The plane with more than 300 seats is covered as long as it is said."

"It's really rare and strange. Do you know that the budget of this movie we shot is [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and chartering a flight is nothing short of trivial."

"A Xing, how much is your salary, can you tell everyone?"

"Hehe, there are not many, in fact, it is similar to everyone's."

"Is there any share?"

"Well, it's [-]% of Xiangjiang's local box office."

"Wow, this is amazing. I seem to have heard from the director that the film's goal in Xiangjiang is 7000 million yuan at the box office. If it can be achieved, it will be a 700 million yuan dividend."

"That's right. In the past few years, Xiaoxiao Liang and Brother Fa like to take a share of the box office when they shoot movies. I heard that if you are lucky, it will be more than double their own salary."

"It also depends on which company's movie it is, and only our company won't cheat. Other movie companies, haha!"

……

Zhao Hong's ears are very sensitive. As soon as he got on the plane, he heard the whispers of many people in the crew.

Laughed at what they said.

The system of box office dividends has always been the way DreamWorks insists on.

Everyone makes money when they have money, and everyone takes risks when they lose money. This is a good system to ensure that film companies can always have money to shoot blockbuster movies.

He saw Lan Jieying who had just boarded the plane with a tired look on his face, so he asked with concern.

"Jieying, haven't you had a good rest?"

"Well, no, I'm going to the mainland for a few months, so I'll run more drafts in the past few days."

Lan Jieying said with a little smile.

She just gave birth to a big fat boy last year, and then came back to filming, and now she is extremely happy.

As for running the manuscript, it is actually earning money to support the family. His husband is an outsider, a young executive of the DreamWorks security company, and of course he doesn't earn as much as she does.

In this case, she will work harder.

"Is your kid still good?"

"The little guy is fine, it's been a year now and he'll stand up..."

When Lan Jieying talked about her son, she was eloquent, and her face was full of happiness.

Zhao Hong also likes this kind of ending very much. In the original time and space, he is actually not a movie fan or a fan of this mushroom, but seeing such a golden flower, it is still a bit sad to call the curtain call like this.

"Director, he is also in a bad mood, so you can enlighten me!"

After Zhao Hong and Lan Jieying chatted for a few minutes, Doudou came to him with a whining voice, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, what does this mean?

"Doudou, I think you are in great shape now, and you have shot fewer movies in the past two years. You often travel around and live a good life!"

Zhao Hong saw Doudou in a red dress, with a melon-seeded face and a small cherry mouth, full of allure.

This girl has become Buddhist in the past two years, and she is not so urgent about film awards or fame. She shoots one or two movies a year, and travels all over the world in the rest of the time.

Even Zhao Hong is a little envious of this kind of living situation. It has been a long time since he has taken an instant trip.

"The house is empty!"

Doudou said without thinking.

A pair of big eyes looked at Zhao Hong flickeringly.

He regretted it a little now, she shouldn't have been allowed to play Princess Iron Fan. Cai Shaofen was still a little younger at this time, and Doudou, who had a similar temperament to her, caught Zhao Hong's eyes.

He thought this was the most suitable candidate, but the result was not what he expected.

During the audition, she really came to life as Princess Iron Fan.

Especially the lines in it are very familiar!

Zhou Xingxing and her are on par with each other.

In fact, the story of Journey to the West is relatively simple. It tells a love story that spans time and space with mixed joys and sorrows. However, the requirements for each actor are relatively high. To perform the essence of each person, it is still a bit difficult to find such actors. of.

Zhao Hong chatted with everyone on the plane. At the beginning, everyone was a little afraid of him, and there was a sense of alienation from him.

This was mainly because he himself was standing too high, which gave them a sense of looking up.

And Zhao Hong's kind conversation, approachable, let them gradually relax this kind of defense in their hearts.

There is a reason for Zhao Hong to do this. He doesn't want to always have a sense of distance between himself and the crew, so that the films he shoots will be flawed.

The entire crew is a group, as long as everyone thinks in one place and works in one place, so that when shooting a movie, it will be more effective with half the effort.

When Zhao Hong communicated with the crew, she found that Zhou Xingxing is also a very funny person in real life, which is not at all like himself in the original time and space.

Now he has a double harvest in career and love, Zhu Yin and him are the envy of everyone on the plane.

Sprinkling some dog food from time to time, Zhao Hong, a person who has experienced many battles, couldn't stand it.

"Director, we plan to get married immediately after filming this movie. You must come then!"

"Hehe, definitely, definitely."

"Congratulations, you are really a golden boy and a jade girl!"

"Yes, we must be invited then."

……

After hearing this, the rest of the crew also sent congratulations, expressing that they must go to their wedding.

Uncle Da also smiled when he saw this situation. He has a special feeling for Zhou Xingxing. They lived in the same community after he just came to DreamWorks.

The two knew each other when they were poor, and there were many opportunities for the two to play supporting roles in the same movie.

They still appear in the same movie at the same time.

But there is a little change, that is, he is still playing a supporting role, while Zhou Xingxing is playing the leading role.

For this situation, he is only happy, without the slightest jealousy.

I think that when he was young, he was also a fresh meat, and he had filmed a lot of leading roles, so he had already looked away from the honorary position and so on.

As long as the script is ok and you can make money, then accept it.

Now that Uncle Da saw that Zhou Xingxing was getting married, he also looked relieved from his old father.

When Zhao Hong and the others arrived in the capital, they had a meal here while the rest of the crew got on the train to Ningxia.

Zhao Hong, on the other hand, wants to stay for a day or two. This is not to meet her old lover!

That's just incidental, um, incidental!

He was here to meet with the director of Beijing Film Studio, Cheng. This time, Beijing Film also contributed a part of their efforts in "A Chinese Journey to the West".

These years, as long as DreamWorks co-produces with the mainland, they will be recruited. With their efforts, they can get the screening rights in the mainland, and they earn a lot of money.

Zhao Hong doesn't expect to make much money in the current mainland, she just wants to cultivate the market.

Besides, it's not possible to divide the accounts yet, so what's the point.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you are really amazing! Over the past few years, your name has been heard all the time. Cannes and Berlin really gave our compatriots a face, do you know? When the news of the award was spread back to China, everyone felt It’s as happy as New Year’s Eve.”

"It's too much to be the director of the factory. In fact, it's nothing. There are still many filmmakers in the mainland who are better than me."

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't be too modest. Whether this thing can win an award or not is up to everyone to see. Your film is very artistic, and it is a key teaching material in Nortel, China Opera, and Shanghai Opera."

"Hehe, I love you."

……

Zhao Hong chatted with Factory Manager Cheng for a long time, but they didn't get to the point. They ate hot pot at a Donglaishun restaurant, bragging about it while eating.

When he thinks of eating hot pot, he has a special liking for Dong Lai Shun. Every time he comes to the mainland, if his classmates reunite, he must go to Dong Lai Shun.

It’s not that Zhao Hong and his classmates can’t afford to invite everyone to a good restaurant for dinner, but that it’s better to dispel the embarrassing atmosphere when the classmates haven’t seen each other for a long time.

After drinking and eating, the factory director said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I am really a little embarrassed. Every time you cooperate with us, you have taken advantage of you."

"It's just that there is no way. There is no money to invest in us. You don't know that the efficiency of our factory has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. If we still cooperate with you, we may not even be able to pay wages."

"Some time ago it was agreed to reform and reform the movie theater chain, but after mentioning it, there is no further action. We really dare not make big productions now, that is, 200 million movies. You can say that such a movie can What are you doing?"

"I can't do anything, I can only shoot experiments for those promising and spiritual directors..."

When the factory director mentioned the current situation, he complained a lot. For this situation, Zhao Hong could only be an audience, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

After many things are wrong, I know that this thing is not worth it, and I can't do it like this.

Mainland movies are currently in this situation, and Zhao Hong believes that it will definitely improve in a few years.

Zhao Hong and Director Cheng finished talking about things at ten o'clock in the evening, and it was already eleven o'clock when they arrived at Xuqing Courtyard.

"Have you been drinking? Take a shower first..."

Xu Qing felt the smell of alcohol on Zhao Hong's body, and when he saw him kissing her mouth, she immediately blocked his mouth with a pair of fingers, and then said coquettishly.

Zhao Hong just said two words, "Wait for me!"

Then go straight to the bathroom.

It only took 5 minutes, and he came out naked.

Xu Qing is now also wearing pajamas, lying on his back on the bed, with expectant eyes on his face.

Two hours later.

"Just now, you were more anxious than me, okay?"

Zhao Hong muttered softly.

"What do you say?"

"No, I mean I miss you so much, it's a bit difficult to control, Ah Qing, has the filming of "Swordsman" been finished yet?"

"There are still some scenes that haven't been filmed, but I don't have my part. When I was in the crew, the director would always shoot my part. The director is really good."

"Did someone bully you in the crew?"

"No, when they first saw that I was a mainland actor, they were very polite, but there was a thick layer of distance. Later, after everyone got to know each other, I heard them say that this is the internal rule of DreamWorks. Brother Hong, you are really amazing."

"Hehe, what's the matter, if you want to reciprocate between the mainland and Xiangjiang, you must respect each other. If all kinds of bad things happen, this movie will not be well shot."

……

Zhao Hong and Xu Qing talked about some things about each other during this time after some love. The atmosphere of the crew of "Swordsman" is quite harmonious. This film is the first time that DreamWorks has used more than half of the crew from the mainland, and the bearded man is still in it as an executive. Director, many shootings are done under his leadership.

The Jin Yong TV series filmed by the bearded man in the original time and space have been praised and criticized, but in fact the filming is still good, especially the scenery is in place.

At this time, he was also allowed to participate. In fact, he was not the only one. Many directors from CCTV came to observe and learn from it, and many of them are figures in the circle who will become famous in the future.

There are still some small shrimps now.

Xu Qing heard about Zhao Hong's experience in Berlin, her eyes were full of little stars, she felt that her brother Hong was too powerful.

The three major players in Europe just took what they said, and it caused a huge sensation in the mainland.

At present, the mainland is very rare in the awards of the three major European film festivals. At this time, Lao Mouzi is really loved by many people.

Although there are a lot of film critics scolding him and attacking him, they are all useless.

To be honest, it is always easier for people who do not do practical things to speak than to act.

If only they could make a movie by themselves.

They will talk a lot about Tang Sai, in their words, I know how to use a refrigerator, do I also need to understand the principle of it.

Regarding such remarks, Zhao Hong sometimes shook her head when she read some mainland newspapers.

These people are the kind of people who are strict with themselves and tolerant of others. What kind of mentality is this?
"Brother Hong, do you mean that you will go to Yinchuan after staying in the capital for at most two days?"

"um, yes!"

"My man, it's been a long time since I met you. Here, can I stay for a few more days?"

"Oh, there's no other way, hundreds of crew members are waiting for me to start work!"
