Chapter 520 Three top directors, start shooting "Changjin Lake" (third update, please subscribe)
What Lin Xuan didn't expect was that before he could think of a way to stop the netizens, Yuan Li came to him instead.

powder room.

Yuan Li pushed the door open and looked at Lin Xuan with a smile: "Lin Xuan, you helped me a lot in this year's party."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Director Yuan is being polite, I just did something to the best of my ability."

"Well, yes, you are capable."

Yuan Li deeply agreed, and then said: "There is a saying that goes well: with great power comes great responsibility... Have you seen the suggestions from those netizens on the Internet? Everyone is praising the three things you made at this party. program, and then I strongly recommend you to be the general director of the next Longtai Gala.”

"Cough cough."

Lin Xuan coughed a few times, "Director Yuan, don't listen to those people talking nonsense."

Yuan Li's expression became serious: "How could it be nonsense? I think the suggestions from netizens are very good. You have the ability and prestige. Why don't you give it a try? I have served as the general director of the gala for three times, to be honest Now my ability is really at the end. If you hadn't produced a few good shows this year, the reputation of this party might collapse. As for other directors, I dare not take over easily. So I am serious, you If I have this idea, I will immediately propose to Director Zhou that you be the chief director of the show for 25 years."

"Don't don't..."

Lin Xuan shook his head like a rattle, and smiled wryly: "Director Yuan, please forgive me. Don't say whether I have the ability to be the chief director, even if I do, I won't be able to spare the time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Minister Zhou, because I promised Minister Zhou a very important event, and if there is no accident, I will devote all my time to it."

"Oh?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan's expression didn't seem fake, Yuan Li was stunned for a moment, and then showed a trace of disappointment on his face: "If this is the case, then it seems that there is no other way."

Lin Xuan changed the subject and said with a smile: "Director Yuan, have the ratings of the show been released? How effective is it?"

Hear this question.

A bright smile appeared on Yuan Li's face: "Come out, according to the preliminary statistics of our station, as of 24 o'clock yesterday, the average TV ratings of the 2024 Dragon TV Gala reached 30.14%, making it the only time in the past ten years that the ratings have broken through." 30% mark of the party. In addition to the TV end, the number of new media live-on-demand users reached 55.87 billion times, and the cumulative number of viewers was 3 million. Overseas, from North America, Western Europe, island countries, Africa... More than 170 countries and regions More than 46.5 media outlets in China broadcast and reported on the Longtai Gala simultaneously, and the number of people who watched the live broadcast of the Gala overseas exceeded 40 million, all of which broke records. Especially your three programs, "Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands" in real time The ratings once reached [-]%, and the real-time ratings of the other two programs also broke [-]%, making them the three programs with the highest ratings in the whole show..."

With these words, Lin Xuan's mood was agitated.

No wonder Yuan Li and netizens asked him to be the chief director. The ratings of more than 40% are really terrifying.

Unfortunately.

This is impossible.

After Yuan Li finished speaking, he continued: "Are you going back to your hometown tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "No reply."

Yuan Li said: "Then do you have time to have a celebration banquet with the actors and our staff? Everyone is looking forward to your participation in the celebration banquet."

Lin Xuan shook his head again: "No, Director Yuan, please apologize to everyone for me. I really don't have time. I will start the task assigned to me by Minister Zhou from tomorrow, and I can't delay for a moment."

"Oh?"

Yuan Li was even more surprised.

Seeing the seriousness in Lin Xuan's eyes, his heart beat violently. What kind of task made Lin Xuan not even know how to go home, not to attend the celebration banquet, and to be busy since the first day of the new year?
Lin Xuan saw the surprise in Yuan Li's eyes, but he didn't explain that he was going to shoot a movie.At this moment, he hasn't even finished writing the script of "Changjin Lake", only the first half.As for the other production crews, they didn’t do anything in the early stages of preparation, so it’s better not to disclose the news for the time being. If you reveal the news yourself, and the higher-ups have changed the matter, wouldn’t it be embarrassing in vain?

As for timing.

Lin Xuan is also not telling lies, because basically all the plot stories of "Changjin Lake" are narrated in the cold winter, so if he wants to shoot, he must hurry up.

Otherwise, if the temperature warms up in a few months, it will have to wait another year.

He can't afford it.

The above can't afford it either.

If you can shoot one day in advance, you can have an extra guarantee.

……

……

The next day.

New Year's Day.

When the people of Huaxia were still enjoying the joy of the Spring Festival, Lin Xuan got up early, ate something casually, took a taxi and hurried to the Longtai Building.

As for Ye Tingyu, Cynthia and others, because they finally came to the capital, everyone happily entered the tourist mode. The safety of the capital is absolutely guaranteed, and there are Ye Youlei and the bodyguards of the Amu family accompanying them, so they Don't worry at all.

"Brother Xuan, happy new year."

"Brother Xuan, happy new year."

"Mr. Lin, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

"Director Lin, Happy New Year~~~"

"..."

Although this year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are still many people working overtime in Longtai Building.Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, everyone greeted him enthusiastically, while staring at him with bright eyes.

Fortunately, the careful Ye Tingyu prepared hundreds of red envelopes for Lin Xuan last night, which made Lin Xuan not ashamed.He hurriedly opened his bag, smiling and giving out red envelopes to everyone he met.

This is a traditional etiquette in China, just to celebrate.

After distributing the red envelopes, not far away, there was a sound of surprise behind him.

"Wow, five hundred?"

"Oh my god, a big red envelope of five hundred?"

"Brother Xuan is too generous, isn't he?"

"I'm so happy."

"..."

Lin Xuan staggered, only then did he know that Ye Tingyu actually stuffed five hundred yuan in each red envelope?He thought it was a hundred yuan at most!

prodigal~~~
The biggest red envelope he ever received in his life was only two hundred yuan!
Soon, Lin Xuan came to Zhou Zhengcheng's office.

Lin Xuan shouted unceremoniously: "Minister Zhou, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

"You boy!"

Reluctantly, Zhou Zhengcheng took out a red envelope from his body and handed it over. He glared and said, "You, a big boss with tens of billions of dollars, actually asked me for a red envelope? Are you embarrassed?"

Lin Xuan picked up the red envelope, not caring how much money was inside, and said with a chuckle, "That's different. It's my honor to get your red envelope from Minister Zhou."

"Come on, don't kiss ass!"

Zhou Zhengcheng snorted.

Lin Xuan didn't feel too restrained. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then made a cup of tea by himself.

After taking a sip, my mouth is full of fragrance.

It tastes delicious, and I don't know what kind of tea it is.

Zhou Zhengcheng watched Lin Xuan's every move without any concern in his heart, instead he watched with a smile.The more Lin Xuan let go in front of him, the more comfortable he felt.Otherwise, if Lin Xuan was trembling and obedient, he might feel uncomfortable instead.

After a while.

Zhou Zhengcheng's expression became serious: "Lin Xuan, last time you said that the scale of the film you want to shoot is too large, and you can't control the situation by yourself. You need several experienced directors to assist you. So I have contacted several domestic directors in advance. A well-known director, they are also very willing to cooperate, and they will come over later."

"Thank you Minister Zhou."

Lin Xuan nodded.

This is why he came to find Zhou Zhengcheng today.

With the magnificence and size of the movie "Changjin Lake", nearly ten thousand people were involved in the crew and staff, and no matter how powerful he was alone, he couldn't control it.In the previous life, this movie was co-directed by three top directors, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian, so he also had to find someone to help.

The two sat in the office like this, drinking tea and waiting.

Zhou Zhengcheng took a sip of tea at a time.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan drank a cup of tea every time.Half an hour later, this girl has made tea seven or eight times, and the tea leaves have been poured several times, which made Zhou Zhengcheng's eyelids twitch.

Until the end, Zhou Zhengcheng couldn't bear it anymore: "Lin Xuan, how about I make tea for you. You can just drink it."

"What's so funny about that?"

Lin Xuan laughed.

Zhou Zheng intentionally slandered, are you still embarrassed?Damn, if I don't make tea for you, my top-grade Dahongpao, which only weighs half a catty, will be lost by you.

He had never seen such a big dragon robe drinker!
This girl always grabs a lot of tea leaves and throws them into the cup, and then pours a big glass of water into the water glass.When the water is finished, the tea leaves are thrown away.Then grab a handful of tea leaves again... and repeat.

If this goes on, who can stand it?
Zhou Zheng was dripping blood intentionally.

In this way, the two waited for almost an hour.

at last……

The secretary brought in three directors.

The first person was about fifty years old, with a fan-shaped beard, a gray hat, and piercing eyes.

The second person is about the same age as the first person, with short hair and a cropped head, wearing a brown suit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The third person was an old acquaintance of Lin Xuan's. When the other party entered the door, Lin Xuan almost exclaimed.

"Minister Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

"Hi Minister Zhou."

The three came in and greeted Zhou Zhengcheng.

Zhou Zhengcheng stood up and smiled and said, "Lin Xuan, let me introduce you. The first is director Liu Ji, who is very experienced in war films and historical blockbusters. The second is director Zhang Xukun. The production of films is very researched. The third is Director Qin Wen. You should have known Director Qin Wen for a long time, so I will not introduce them in detail. These three are the partners I found for you. If you can talk, I will Let the three of them be your assistant directors."

Looking at the three middle-aged men with astonishing momentum in front of him.

There was a huge wave in Lin Xuan's heart.

He didn't expect Zhou Zhengcheng to invite these three people over.

Qin Wen didn't need much, the first director he knew was this great director in China. In terms of status, Qin Wen can be said to be no less inferior to Chen Kaige in his previous life.

As for Liu Ji and Zhang Xukun, they are also well-known directors in China, and their prestige is even higher than that of Qin Wen. Any one of them has the highest prestige in the director circle.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the movie kings, queens, and well-known actors in China today have basically starred in the movies of the three of them.Even the stars of the entire film and television circle are proud to be able to appear in the three-person movie.

The names of the three directors are the guarantee of the box office.

"Hello, Director Liu, Hello, Director Zhang, and Hello, Director Qin."

Lin Xuan quickly stood up and shook hands with each other one by one.

At this moment, the eyes of the three of them all fell on Lin Xuan.

curious.

There is scrutiny.

There is also kindness.

Regarding the fact that Zhou Zhengcheng called them over and hoped that the three of them would take up the position of Lin Xuan's assistant director, the three of them didn't show any hesitation on their faces.Although with the status of the three of them, it is basically impossible to be an assistant director for anyone.But this time Zhou Zhengcheng personally invited, and Lin Xuan just directed and directed such a phenomenal movie as "The God of Medicine", so everyone was cautious and curious.

No conclusions were drawn lightly.

They wanted to know what kind of movie Lin Xuan was going to shoot.What kind of amazing movie can let the three of them serve as assistant directors.

If the script doesn't work.

Sorry, even for the sake of Director Zhou, the three of them may refuse to join.

Qin Wen spoke first, and he smiled and said, "Lin Xuan, in just over a year, I didn't expect you to grow to such a height. Your achievements really make us old men ashamed. I have been making movies for half my life, and all the movies sold at the box office The sum is not as high as "The God of Medicine."

When speaking, Qin Wen was very emotional.

He still clearly remembered that when he met Lin Xuan for the first time, the other party was still a draft singer who hadn't officially debuted.Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, Lin Xuan would become a well-known figure in China and even the world.

Lin Xuan hurriedly said: "Director Qin, please don't say that. The box office is not everything. In terms of directing skills, I am far inferior to your three seniors. It is precisely because of this that I need three seniors. help."

When the three of them heard these words, they all nodded secretly.

What they are most worried about is Lin Xuan's arrogance and arrogance. After all, if a young man in his twenties directs a movie for the first time, it will have a box office of [-] billion, and it will also generate a huge response in China. go.But seeing Lin Xuan's humble appearance at this moment, the favorability of several people for Lin Xuan increased instantly.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Director Lin doesn't have to be humble. Although the box office doesn't represent everything, when we directors make movies, we still have to judge by the box office."

Zhang Xukun nodded in the same way: "That's right, so we really admire Director Lin for your ability."

You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.

Everyone is a top figure in the director circle, and it is very comfortable to speak.

After several compliments.

Qin Wen finally got to the point: "Lin Xuan, I heard from Director Zhou that the investment in the movie you're going to shoot is estimated to reach one billion?"

After he finished speaking, both Liu Ji and Zhang Xukun's eyelids twitched slightly, staring at Lin Xuan closely.

Invest one billion!
Even the three of them, when they heard Zhou Zhengcheng mention it, they were so frightened that they jumped up.Even when Qin Wen spoke at this moment, his voice was trembling rarely.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Yes, one billion is actually a conservative estimate. If there are some problems in the follow-up shooting, the cost may be higher."

hiss~~~
Everyone gasped in unison.

After half a sound.

Liu Jicai suppressed his violently beating heart and asked aloud, "Then, have you finished writing the script of this movie? If it's finished, can you show us first?"

Even at this moment, they still can't imagine that the investment of a war movie can exceed one billion.Not to mention war movies, even those sci-fi movies with super high investment, there are not a few that cost more than one billion!
So they have a strong curiosity about the script.

How a movie is going to look like, how much is the investment, can all be seen from the script.

So they are eager to know whether Lin Xuan's movie is so exaggerated.
