Chapter 101 Nadu Films

He didn't sleep all night, and yesterday was too exhausting, but Lu Ming still felt in good spirits.

Maybe, it's the excitement supported by some kind of anger, maybe, it's because the bones of the body have really improved.

Nadu Films is a satellite town in the south of the East China Sea, quite far from Beiguan.

Nadu Films used to be so brilliant that even the town council passed a unanimous resolution to change the name of the town to Nadu.

Today's Nadu Films is relatively dilapidated, and even all the machines were packed into a truck, and they were sent back a while ago.

Moreover, Nadu Films originally had three shooting locations, the best two of which have been sold, and the only thing left is a simple location in the company with a small slope. If you want any background, you can use a curtain build.

Lu Ming felt that the background of the roughest martial arts videos he watched in his previous life might be similar. The rockery built by the curtain was obviously moving when people leaned on it.

In the three-story office building, many people came today, including staff, contracted directors, artists, etc.

Today's Empire Film and Television Company is in this mode. Directors and actors all sign fixed companies, with long-term contracts and short-term contracts.

The two new bosses arrived today, and these panic-stricken employees have been waiting in line almost since early morning.

However, the company's most famous director, Nelson, and his team did not come, and Nelson's contract expired in a few months.

The five most famous signing stars also did not come. Of these five stars, the biggest name is Luna, who was promoted by Nadu. Now it is rumored that Luna is already preparing to file with other film companies, especially Well, Nadu hasn't filmed her a new movie for a long time. According to the original contract, she has the right to terminate the contract on her own, and the required termination fee is not high.

……

In the office, Lu Ming and Wei Baozeng listened to General Manager Pierden's introduction of the company.

Pielden is an old man in his 50s. He has worked hard in Nadu since he was a teenager. It can be seen that he is full of affection for Nadu.

Moreover, at his age, if he is unemployed, it is not easy to find a job.

Especially since he failed to invest in the past few years and is under great pressure to repay his debts, he cannot afford to lose his job.

On the way here, Wei Baozeng talked to Lu Ming about the remaining and new executives.

Along the way, Lu Ming was also looking at the profiles of these employees and signed artists.

Sitting in the office was the chief financial officer, Gao Yi, who was appointed by Wei Baozeng after he took over Nadu.

There are also department managers such as the copyright department, publicity department, and public relations department.

The names are slightly different, but Lu Ming feels that this is what he understands.

The former legal counsel of the company had been exhausted for a long time and did not renew the contract when it expired.

Wei Baozeng had already handed over the company's legal affairs to Wang-Lu Law Firm, and he didn't even greet Lu Ming in advance.

Now the legal advisor is Donald. After all, Nadu Films is a big company, and Wang-Lu Law Firm, not counting Lu Ming as the boss, is Donald the most qualified lawyer.

In fact, Donald sat there feeling a little guilty. After all, if it wasn’t for Boss Lu’s relationship, he wouldn’t be qualified to sit in the legal counsel position of such a big company. All Films.

Now, he is even more fortunate, what a wise decision he made to jump to the current firm.

"I'm going to meet the directors!" Lu Ming stood up after listening to all kinds of boring reports from the department managers, which were basically difficult, difficult, difficult.

Wei Baozeng nodded: "Okay!" He glanced at Pilden again.

"I know all about the company's situation, so I won't listen. I'll accompany Director Lu!" Pieden also stood up.

Park Xiuna, who had been standing behind Lu Ming, followed suit.

The boss told her that it might be a bit dangerous recently, so she was not used as a driver for the time being, but Datou was used instead, but I don't know why he brought her to Nadu Films today.

However, everything here is very novel to her.

……

There are still 5 directors and assistant directors who are still under contract.

But there is only one real director, and the rest are assistants, or special directors who shoot small items.

Moreover, this real director is a lady, surnamed Lin, named Lin Jingyin, she is a very intellectual and elegant woman, she is good at filming romantic dramas, and her famous work "Swan Lake" has a good reputation although it is not a big hit, but Later, it seemed that I couldn’t find my direction. The films I made were more beautiful, very literary and artistic, but they were not well-received.

Lu Ming chatted with her briefly, but didn't say much.

Lu Ming also chatted briefly with the other assistants and specialty directors.

Pierden sighed inwardly, and it was obvious that the new boss was not satisfied with the director team.

But the problem is that there are very few good directors, there are only a few, but none of them are from Nadu.

"Bill? I heard that you were also a director in the first place? Although your grades are not good, I watched the film you directed a while ago. The imagination is very good, and the layout of the scenes is very clever."

That was the silent era of movies.

Pierden was a little embarrassed, "Really?" I didn't feel that the film I directed was any better, I just felt that the screen was full of embarrassment.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "The only thing missing is the sound. In the era of silent films, you are not suitable. But with narration, dialogue, and specific music to enhance the atmosphere instead of just background music, it is another matter."

He sighed and said, "Originally, I prepared twelve scripts, one for each month, from this fall to next fall."

"But now, with Director Lin, I'm going to make a male version of Cinderella's script for her. She must have shot it very delicately, and the vulgarity of the Cinderella story is from the bottom of my heart. It is vulgarity that no audience can resist. Therefore, there is no need for director Lin to deliberately shoot vulgar pictures. She can shoot very elegant and literary ones. In this way, the vulgar will become elegant, and the audience will feel the vulgar pleasure in the beautiful pictures. .”

Lu Ming was talking, but he was thinking of Roman Holiday, but if he copied it, the investment would not match his idea of ​​small, fast, and smart, and he must be flexible.

Pielden didn't know what the new boss was talking about, let alone what Cinderella meant, so he could only smile awkwardly.

As for what the new boss said about making twelve films in a row, I was a little scratching my head, no, have you met a liar?

Lu Ming thought about it and said: "Director Jialin's work is to shoot thirteen movies, but the twelve movies in this series..." He glanced at Pierden, "Bill, why don't you give it a try?"

Pieden was taken aback, and immediately shook his head. After all, he has been away from the director team for 20 years, and he has long been out of touch.

Lu Ming smiled: "Well, let's take a look at my conception for the first part, about the whole story, and my thoughts on how to arrange some scenes during filming."

She pointed at the booklet in Pu Xiuna's hand, and Pu Xiuna hurriedly handed it over. The boss asked her to bring it with her when she came, but she never dared to read it. Unexpectedly, it seemed that the boss prepared the script or something.

Lu Ming handed the pamphlet to Pierden, and said with a smile, "Well, if it's okay, you should keep it a secret, don't tell anyone else."

"I'm wondering, our surrealist movies are basically mythological dramas about gods and monsters. This is also inseparable from the difficulties we encountered when exploring in this world. Early humans were unable to explore the surroundings. The earth is very confused, thinking that it is the gate of hell created by God, there is no return, now we know, the environment is harsh, electromagnetic storms, but our traditional culture still has too many gods and monsters.”

"This is also reflected in film and television. Most of the surrealist plays are gods and monsters."
