After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

Tao Mu has always done things vigorously and resolutely.Now that they decided to be the producer of the mainland remake of "Black and White", Director Xu Musen was asked to bring the screenwriter of "Black and White" to the capital to meet up that night.Tao Mu also invited the director Zhou Hong and the screenwriter team of "The Great Wall of Flesh" to serve as consultants.

Sure enough, when professionals come out, the efficiency is different.Under the personal guidance of director Zhou Hong and screenwriter Fan, and Tao Mu combined with various professional film critics he had seen in his previous life, he gave general revision suggestions. It took only one week to revise the script of "Black and White".Screenwriter Fan is best at adapting anti-Japanese war dramas.The characteristic of the classic anti-Japanese war drama is the ups and downs of the plot.The original script of "Black and White" pays more attention to the description of human nature.Whether it's the plot or the lines, the whole story is full of concise but thought-provoking fatalism.Now that the strong are united, the revised script not only echoes the main theme and values, but also has more refined and capable lines.

A week later, Tao Mu took the revised script to visit the leader of Optoelectronics.Tao Mu is a long-sleeved and good at dancing, with a slick face, and he likes to be kind to others in his daily activities, and he pays great attention to maintaining a network of relationships.When it is useful, it will not give people a tendency to "employ people forward and not backward".In addition, Tao Mu left a very good impression on the leaders of Optoelectronics at the award ceremony of the Lingxiao Award.So after this meeting, Tao Mu took the initiative to propose the review of the mainland remake of "Black and White", and the attitude of the leader of Optoelectronics was not too tough.

It's just that Tao Mu couldn't help complaining a lot.

"...You don't know how difficult those Xiangcheng people are. All of them have eyes and noses on their foreheads, and they can make a few movies before they are defiant. They look down on mainland movies and feel that our cultural system in the mainland is useless. We spent a lot of money The big price to invite the production team of Xiangcheng to co-produce a movie, isn’t it because they value the development of Xiangcheng’s films, so they want to use money and resources in exchange for them to support mainland movies? How did they do it?”

"While looking down on us, I want to come to the mainland to make money. The same crew has to be specialized. Even if it is a third-rate star who is not well-known in Xiangcheng, he would like to live in a five-star hotel when he comes to make a movie. Look down on mainland actors. It is said that mainland actors are not good at acting in movies and TV dramas. It is said that it is a co-production film, but in the end the male and female protagonists have to use their Xiangcheng people to deceive others, leaving us with only marginal roles.”

As a result, the mainland's concessions to such a degree were not enough, and the gang of Xiangcheng people could still make all kinds of moths: "...often unite to repel and bully our mainland actors. The worst thing is that they can even divide the box lunch into two treatment."

So later, Optoelectronics issued a written document.It is clearly pointed out that for co-productions between Xiangchengwan Province and the mainland, mainland actors must play the main roles.And other various terms.The main purpose is also to protect mainland actors from being bullied by the Xiangcheng crew.

As for the script review, the leaders of Optoelectronics were even more resentful: "...things that clearly cannot pass the review. Not to mention their Xiangcheng Movies, even Hollywood blockbusters, we Optoelectronics treat them equally. If you can't pass it, you can't pass it. Isn’t this the same process for making movies in the mainland? Why are they so noble in Xiangcheng? Asking them to change the script is full of complaints, yelling that we don’t understand film art and directing blindly. In the end, we dragged out a bunch of messy things to perfunctory. After it was released, the response was not good, and it was blamed on us.”

"Our Optoelectronics is almost becoming a blame man!"

"When the people from Xiangcheng want to enter Hollywood, how can they take into account the differences in aesthetics and culture of foreign devils? When their movies are not popular in Europe in country M, why don't they say that people from country M and Europeans don't understand movies? Art? Co-authors are us mainlanders who don’t understand movies, right? Can audiences all over the world be divided into different categories? Huaxia coins are not as valuable as M yuan and euros, right?”

"I think they worship foreigners. They bully others. They look down on us!"

The leader of Optoelectronics was filled with righteous indignation: "We don't need him to look down on us! Our mainland market is so big, and our Huaxia consumer market has become the world's largest consumer market. In the world, people from any country who want to come to China to make money must abide by our rules. Do as the Romans do. It's justified."

Tao Mu's ability to supervise and produce such good TV series as "The Great Wall of Flesh" and "Fashion" at the age of 19 is enough to prove Tao Mu's ability.After all, the profession of a producer is not the same as that of an actor.Actors are relatively just a single skill, and they only need to show their best side in front of the camera.Therefore, some "God rewards me with food" actors can make their debut as child stars, and their talent alone is comparable to the hard work of many people for more than ten years.Under normal circumstances, actors don't need to think too much about teamwork.The biggest difficulty they face as a teamwork is probably playing against their opponents.As for the rest of the time, others cooperate with them.In terms of teamwork, actors are relatively the most passive profession.Even if you say a word in front of the media, you have to take into account the opinions of the copywriter.This has also led to the fact that even the most glamorous star actor in front of the stage may not have the right to speak in the industry as an ordinary-looking but solid director.

But producers are different.Producers need to coordinate the overall situation.A competent producer needs to consider the crew budget and all aspects of the entire crew.It is also necessary to take into account the artistry and commercial value of the film.It is not a job that can be done well with talent.

If Tao Mu didn't have more than ten years of work experience in his previous life, he might not be qualified for the role of producer.But others don't know Tao Mu's adventure, they only see Tao Mu's success.

What does a successful 19-year-old producer mean to a fledgling film market?At least in the eyes of the leaders of Optoelectronics, Tao Mu is definitely a young man worth cultivating.This can be seen from the award ceremony of the Ling Xiao Award, "The Great Wall of Flesh" and even Tao Mu himself as the biggest winner.The leader of Optoelectronics definitely has high hopes for Tao Mu.

Since ancient times, China has had the tradition of "heroes come out of youth".Even the most stubborn old antique will maintain a tolerant and gentle heart when facing young talents.What's more, although Tao Mu is young, he is not arrogant, and although he is high-spirited, he is not arrogant.Being a person and doing things are remarkable and make people feel comfortable.The leaders of Optoelectronics are also willing to train young people like Tao Mu.

They firmly believe that if there are more filmmakers like Tao Mu who promote the main theme and promote positive energy, why not worry about the development of the mainland film market?

"It is also a good thing that you can accept the supervisory job of the mainland remake of "Black and White" this time. You have to do it well, do it seriously, and let those Xiangcheng people see the ability of our mainland filmmakers. Although our mainland film market has started It's late, but we mainland filmmakers can also make good movies. They Xiangcheng people can't make good movies in the mainland. It's not all because of the restrictions of the mainland's cultural system. It's also because they don't care about it. Do as the Romans do.”

"China has a vast territory. Even if people from the south go to the north, they may be dissatisfied with the current situation. What's more, cultural thinking?" The leader of Optoelectronics said: "A mature filmmaker will only shoot those prohibited subjects. Without these vulgar gangsters, pornography, gambling and drugs, there will be no good works. How can we admit that he is a good filmmaker?"

The way of thinking of the leadership of Optoelectronics is very simple.Our Chinese imperial examination system for thousands of years can write so many colorful articles.Even the standard eight-legged essay has classics passed down to the world.Now I just ask you to write a propositional composition - I haven't delineated the scope of writing for you, but just warn you what not to write.

I can't do such a simple thing well.Blame us for the restrictions!

The leader of Optoelectronics patted Tao Mu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are still young, and you have great potential for development. Don't learn bad habits from those bad people. Complaints are full of complaints, and you can say ten thousand words if you complain. It’s not the same. Let them make a movie and they won’t even earn [-] million!”

Either complaining about the poor performance of this year's Optoelectronics, or complaining about the poor performance of this year's audience.Anyway, if the movie is not made well, it means that the whole world has no vision.

The leaders of Optoelectronics don't want Tao Mu to learn this kind of atmosphere by ear at a young age. He still needs to be more positive and positive, and make more classic works like "The Great Wall of Flesh", which are popular and popular, and have a special theme.

In order to express their support and encouragement, the leaders of Optoelectronics also carefully studied the reprinted script of "Black and White" brought by Tao Mu.After careful research, it was confirmed that there was nothing sensitive that might be reported.I gave it straight away.

After the script was passed, the leader of Optoelectronics recalled the previous few times of director Xiangcheng's coquettish operations, and couldn't help telling: "When shooting, you must shoot according to the script. Don't give us a set of scripts. You shoot When you come up with another set. Before the finished film is released, it still needs to go through a final review. If you come up with this kind of operation, the movie fails to pass the review, and the release schedule is delayed, but don’t complain that we didn’t notify you in advance.”

Tao Mu almost laughed out loud.It seems that the leaders of Optoelectronics have also been psychologically shadowed by these coquettish operations.Otherwise, she wouldn't have uttered such words in front of him, even complaining and admonishing her.

It sounds like a heart-pounding pain.

What else could Tao Mu do, of course he obediently agreed.Said that as the producer of the mainland remake of "Black and White", he must keep an eye on the crew.Try to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule.

"Then I wish you a great movie in advance." The leader of Optoelectronics continued to pat Tao Mu on the shoulder to encourage him.

By the way, Tao Mu secretly reminded Tao Mu that when he supervised the production of the mainland remake of "Black and White", he must learn from the Xiangcheng film team.Although the leaders of Optoelectronics hate some of the style and habits of the Xiangcheng filmmakers, they have to admit that the production standards of the Xiangcheng filmmakers are still very good.Therefore, the leaders hope that Tao Mu can steal his teacher and learn the art, and then make a blockbuster movie that belongs to the mainland, which is well-received and popular.

Some leaders even suggested that Tao Mu could make a movie version of "The Great Wall of Flesh" on a whim.I think the ratings of the TV series are so high and the reputation is so good.The audience base is so strong.And it's also a blasting shootout scene, so it doesn't make sense that it can't compare to Xiangcheng shootout movies and Hollywood blockbusters, right?

Tao Mu was a little surprised.Following the trend and remaking big IPs will be the development direction of the mainland film and television industry in the next few years.Could it be that there have been signs since then?

Tao Mu agreed with a smile.Said that he will definitely study hard and make progress every day.Most of the leaders who can take power are in their 50s, 70s or even [-]s.In their eyes, Tao Mu was about the same size as their own children, nephews and grandchildren.The elders like children who are humble, polite and well-educated.Tao Mu showed this side of himself, and he really got the favor of all the leaders.

So when the leaders wished Tao Mu's movie a big hit, they told Tao Mu not to neglect the filming of "The King of Soldiers".Someone pointed out: "Cooperating with the military to shoot a propaganda drama for conscription is also considered a political task. You must put more energy into this drama. If you can't take care of it, you'd rather relax your enthusiasm for "Black and White". As the producer, we must also focus on making "The King of Soldiers" well."

This is also a heartfelt statement.Tao Mu understood.

But when Tao Mu tried to propose that he wanted to invite the leaders of Optoelectronics to dinner.Optoelectronics leaders refused without hesitation.The leaders said that they didn't want to talk to each other face to face, they didn't know the art of movies, and they always let the director of Xiangcheng who blamed them eat for dinner!

Tao Mu hadn't been exposed to this level before, so he really didn't know that the two sides could look at each other to such an extent.

But even if there are many filmmakers complaining about the bad things of the leaders of Optoelectronics.But Tao Mu still thinks the leaders are cute out of his own standpoint.Just like their old man, although he is old-fashioned and stubborn, he is sometimes difficult to communicate with.But as long as you find the communication skills, you will find that these old grandpas are still easy to speak.The most important point is that the grandpas and grandmas are very defensive.As long as you make up your mind to support someone, you will give the maximum tolerance and support within the scope of authority.

As we all know, Tao Mu, who has just become the biggest winner of the Lingxiao Award, is his own son for all to see.Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.Under the shadow, although Tao Mu knew that some of the review requirements of the bosses really limited the artistry and integrity of the film, he still couldn't say anything bad about the bosses.And he really thinks that the leadership of Optoelectronics is still very good at communication.

At least better communication than those he experienced in his previous life.
