under the spotlight

Chapter 294

The ** group suddenly notified that a film review meeting would be held, which was unexpected by Lu Beicen, because under normal circumstances, such large-scale enterprise-customized films, especially the deeds of individual pacesetters, are decided by the relevant leaders in charge of ideology. It can be decided directly, and it is rare to do such a grandiose thing, especially when the secretary of the group has to come directly to review the film.

On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang seemed to have heard Lu Beicen's hesitation, and said with a gentle smile, "Xiaobei, don't worry about it. This is a rare opportunity, and it's also the result of your Uncle Xiaolin helping you with the work. , he is full of praise for your micro movie."

Lu Beicen naturally knew that Director Zhang was sending her a signal of goodwill in the name of an elder. Another meaning was that at least he and Secretary Lin were quite satisfied with the film.And it should be the joint efforts of the two of them that the secretary personally reviewed the film.

To put it more clearly, this is to give her Lu Beicen and her company a chance to show up in front of leaders at the level of the group secretary.

Thinking of this, Lu Beicen quickly expressed his gratitude in a junior tone: "Thank you Uncle Zhang, and thank you Uncle Xiao Lin, thank you both for giving us a chance to make an appearance."

Director Zhang knew that Lu Beicen had understood what he meant, so he said: "When you come, be well prepared and bring a few of your favorite works, in case the secretary wants to see it, right... "

Lu Beicen quickly agreed, and Director Zhang asked a few more words, similar to her mother's old colleagues, don't be nervous and other reminders, anyway, in a word, the opportunity has been won for you, you Be good.

Lu Beicen repeatedly thanked him and hung up the phone, calmly sorted out his thoughts, did he say he was flustered?That's true, I've seen a lot of big worlds in these years, and even many times when I face the big gods in the industry to review films for them, that's not polite at all, if it's good, it's fine, if it's bad, it's not Okay, what's wrong with it, what people say one, two, three, four will convince you.

Lu Beicen felt that after several years of tempering by such great masters as Li Jiantao, Mr. Tang and Leader Zhuo, no matter what kind of masters she met again, she could deal with them calmly. Of course, she was also very lucky, and she always praised them. Many, few criticisms, and occasionally, it is also a pity that some technical reasons or uncontrollable factors cannot be achieved.

I originally wanted to call my mother, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Director Zhang mentioned something in the tone of his mother's colleague and friend on the phone. It seems too ignorant to go to visit my mother's elders and old colleagues, so it's better to just do business.

Lu Beicen thought for a while, and called Zou Qi and Wei Ye to his office. The two had just finished filming Team Pan's film respectively, and are now handing over to the post-production.

Hearing Lu Beicen tell Party A about watching the film, Wei Ye blinked his small eyes: "What does this mean? It's the same as a big event. I'm afraid it's not that Director Zhang can't figure it out by himself. Are we going to fight?"

Zou Qi didn't know the contradictions in it, but she had seen the film, and speculated with a trace: "Could it be that the ** Group really attaches great importance to this Minister Lei, and is going to set a benchmark? But I think , This is a good thing for us, anyway, I am quite confident in that film."

Lu Beicen appreciated Zou Qi's calmness very much. Compared with Wei Ye, she was indeed more thoughtful, so Lu Beicen briefly talked about why this film fell into their company's situation, and then told them The notice brought some high-level works to the past.

After hearing this, Wei Ye smiled brightly: "If you say that, then I might really be thinking about it, or you are a lucky star, and you really have meat to follow Boss Lu!"

Lu Beicen glanced at him: "Don't be blindly optimistic. I think there must be good and bad. Since it's a movie show, the head of the publicity section will go there as well. After all, they happen to be in charge of it. Even if you are an insider."

"Cut, he's just a half-baked guy. I'm afraid of him. He will come wherever he wants, and the young master will follow. I haven't seen such a big scene before." Wei Ye looked disdainful.

Lu Beicen smiled meaningfully: "I'm afraid that you will be so hot-tempered that you won't be able to hold back your temper if you are picked on, especially about the 35-second long shot in front of you."

"Uh, what's wrong with the long shot? It's not that you guys cut and cut the long shot, but in the end you still think that design is the best?" When talking about the long shot at the beginning, Wei Ye started to stare. Arguing with the later stage, and Lu Beicen, the screenwriter, anyway, they quarreled all day because of the long shot.

In the end, Yu Ping said, why not use this long shot first, cut out the whole film and see the effect.Of course, she also repeatedly used cut shots and various edits, and in the end that version had the best effect.

Realizing that Lu Beicen and Zou Qiqiqi were looking at him and laughing, Wei Ye was immediately discouraged: "Forget it, I can't stand this birdishness. Is it okay if I don't go?"

"How can I do that? You are the director, so what if you don't go?" Zou Qi said hastily.

"You said that if it's really a big guy in the industry who reprimands me, I'll just bear it, and if I'm picked on by a half-assed person, I, hey..." Wei Ye's face was filled with displeasure.

"This is a buyer's market, so no matter how good your filming is, if people say you want to change it, then you have to change it. Besides, don't underestimate them. Since it's a movie show, it will definitely not be just two or three people. They are just laymen. , but there will always be many people who have seen it." Lu Beicen emphasized.

"Okay, okay, Party A is the father, no, Party A is the grandson, and I can't afford to offend the grandson who is obedient and obedient. At worst, I will pretend to be deaf and dumb and keep silent. Is that okay?" Wei Ye finally said Afraid that Lu Beicen would repeatedly emphasize the word Party A to him.

Seeing that Wei Ye's negative emotions started to bubble, Zou Qi changed the topic: "Should I go too?"

Lu Beicen nodded: "It's easy for the king of hell, and the little devil is hard to deal with. As long as the chief of the propaganda section is still in this position, we will have to deal with him in the future if we want to undertake the business of propaganda in their group. Teacher Zou is on the move."

Before Zou Qi could speak, Wei Ye interjected, "What's going on with this brat? He's just got his meat taken away, and we can't get used to his temper..."

Lu Bei Cenli didn't even bother to talk to him, but just looked at Zou Qi: "Teacher Zou, look, that's why I think it's more appropriate for you to be in charge of contacting them."

Zou Qi immediately understood what Lu Beicen meant. Some meat is not available to anyone who wants to eat it. The appearance is too ugly. Naturally, some people will not let you eat this piece of meat. Isn't this kind of thing rare?

"Okay, I get it, I'll do my best!" Zou Qi looked at Lu Beicen and solemnly agreed.

Lu Beicen liked Zou Qi's attitude of never wanting to shirk responsibility for anything, and immediately said: "Don't get used to him too much, it's too ugly, Mr. Zou, just tell me, let me think about it." Method."

"No, they are all smart people. If you are really a fool, then a large group, no matter how background you have, won't be able to secure that seat." Zou Qi laughed.

"Well, let's put it this way, Wei Ye, take Mr. Zou to see the projects we have completed so far, sort out the related films that will be brought tomorrow, and don't bring other micro-films this time, except last time promotional video, and bring a tourism promotional video to show our true strength, and help Teacher Zou understand it by the way."

At the viewing meeting, there was indeed a severe criticism of the 35-second long shot. After the whole micro-movie was broadcast, the head of the publicity section surnamed Wu was named by Secretary Sun to speak first. He is really rude.

"You think it's a movie, a total of ten minutes of film, such a long shot, 35 seconds, are you showing off your skills? It's a pity that our kind of evaluation, people don't see your intentional show off .”

Section Chief Wu glanced at Secretary Sun, and continued: "The point is, you spent too much time in such unnecessary places for this film, which caused the length of your personal life to be out of control. I'm afraid you have forgotten it. This is not to put on a show for someone, the key point is to talk about the cultivation of our group, the importance our group attaches to young leaders, the hard work of our employees, the spirit of giving up our family for everyone..."

"Also, look at your color palette, it's all gray, it looks like it's old, it's really ugly..."

Lu Beicen brought director Wei Ye, post-production Yu Ping, cameraman Chen Ke, and production director Zou Qi together. They had already made mental preparations, except for Wei Ye who looked a little dull, but still Resisting the idea of ​​spraying back, the rest of the people all had a teachable expression, they didn't have much emotional fluctuations, and they were not in a hurry to refute.

After Section Chief Wu gave a long and violent criticism, Secretary Sun just nodded, glanced at Lu Beicen and the others, did not express any opinion, turned his eyes to Minister Lei, and said with a playful smile: "Minister Lei, as a What do you think of the leading actor in our group's first micro-movie?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was relieved when Secretary Sun joked about it. Minister Lei was a little embarrassed by what Secretary Sun said, and he patted his head: "Uh, Secretary, don't make fun of me. Why don't you?" I have my own review."

Secretary Sun said with a chuckle: "The hero is sorry, is it okay? This is your home game, so just say what you want!"

Minister Lei knew that this was a refusal, so he simply said: "First of all, I would like to thank the leader for giving me this opportunity, and also thank the screenwriters and directors for their serious and dedicated spirit. I have had many exchanges, so I personally thought that this script was relatively close to the reality of my work and life."

"Of course, after seeing the finished film today, I felt that they still took me too well, but my acting was not good. But I am very grateful to Director Wei for his tireless guidance to me, a layman, especially on the first day. When shooting this scene, at the beginning of that scene, he repeatedly emphasized to me how to live life, which made me and my wife relax slowly, thank you, thank you very much!" Minister Lei's eyes were very sincere, and he directly looked at Wei Ye and the others. people.

"As for the whole film, I'm a layman, and the overall feeling is still very good. At least I didn't make me a superman, and everyone was mentally handicapped. As far as I am the most powerful, I am an ordinary person, like It’s the same in the movie, I love work, I have colleagues who work hard with me, and I also have my own life, at least after watching this movie, I know it’s talking about myself, and the color thing, I feel very comfortable watching it of……"

Secretary Sun didn't mention the allusions in Minister Lei's words, but smiled at everyone with a smile on his face: "It seems that our Minister Lei is still very satisfied, it's not easy, our Minister Lei is notoriously intolerant of mistakes in our work What about the others, what do you think, Section Chief Wang, I heard that you studied media before, what can you say?"

Section Chief Wang was simple, and said directly: "Secretary, I think it's quite advanced, and there is a clear gap between the character reports we watched before, and it feels like a shotgun change. This is our Section Chief Wu's idea. Microfilms and reportages are not of the same level."

Everyone laughed at what Section Chief Wang said, and Section Chief Wu was heartbroken at what Section Chief Wang said. Anyone can hear it. This is a pun, and the meaning is very clear. It is the thorns you picked, how did you pick them? Everyone knows that it came out.But he usually didn't feel that he had any problems with Section Chief Wang, so why was he targeting him today?

This was really what Zou Qi said was right, they are all smart people, and this section chief Wang is not stupid either, so he stopped talking immediately and paid attention to what the secretary meant.

Secretary Lin couldn't hold back at this time: "Secretary, can I say a few words?"

Secretary Sun glanced at his secretary, smiled and said, "I forgot about Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, you also graduated from a Chinese major, tell me about it."

"Secretary, I think this film is well-made. I have watched other award-winning films before. Every time I watch it, I feel that this person is a working machine and cold. Our film is full of flesh and blood, and there are conflicts. The script The writing is very good, the characters are all standing up, even the few workers are standing up, showing our group..."

Then, Secretary Lin brought the topic to the corporate promotional video he had seen when he was visiting Lu Beicen's company. Secretary Sun suggested with great interest that if he brought it, everyone would watch it together.

Chen Ke quickly opened the video and played the video of the key provincial state-owned enterprise. This time, Secretary Sun expressed his opinion directly after watching it: "Compared with this video, our group's promotional video is far behind. , This is the gap between the 90s and the new century, Xiao Wu, what do you think?"

That Section Chief Wu would be too stupid if he couldn’t see the height of his eyebrows and eyes. He quickly found an excuse: “Secretary, they used a lot of aerial photography in this film. It's still very rare, and the level is not high, even now, there is no one in our province who can shoot at this level, right? You spent a lot of money to hire people outside for this film, right?"

Director Zhang spoke at this time: "Our Director Lei's film also has some aerial photography. I went to the scene to take a look that day. That guy, it's Xiao Chen who took the camera. I happened to see him operating the aerial camera. Xiao Chen, Did you make this film too?"

Chen Ke had a normal expression on his face: "Yes, we have been using aerial cameras for a while. I personally think that the aerial photography of this film is just average. The aerial photography images we use in landscape films are the most shocking. ..."

Section Chief Wu had a constipated expression on his face, and Secretary Sun became interested again, so he broadcast a more grandiose film...
