Actor without ambition

Chapter 288 Director joins
"Made, "No Man's Land" has not passed the trial???" Ning Hao's face was quite ugly.

It was a hard-working film, and even for this film, he and the actors of the crew had to film in such a poor environment for several months, and the basic necessities of life were not as convenient.

It can be said that for this movie, Ning Hao and the others really worked hard.

What Ning Hao didn't expect was that "No Man's Land" failed the trial!
"Director Ning, what did you say? "No Man's Land"? Didn't pass the trial? How, how is this possible? Director Ning, are you joking?" Zhang Yi looked confused, and then couldn't help but ask back.

Zhang Yi's mood at this time is really indescribable.

"No Man's Land" is Zhang Yi's first film after joining Zhang Yuxuan's studio, and it is also the first film he participated in in his life, and he is still the protagonist.He also thought about seeing himself on the big screen this year.Now Ning Hao told him that his first film "No Man's Land" hadn't passed the trial! ! !

Hearing the news from Ning Hao, Zhang Yuxuan's expression was a little subtle.

Before the crossing, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" hadn't passed the trial, so that the film had the chance to be released after three years of filming.Now, with the interference of a traveler like him, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" still failed to pass the trial.

In fact, for "No Man's Land", Zhang Yuxuan also knew that the film was blocked when it was released, and it was released again three years later. Zhang Yuxuan didn't know the specific situation.

So Zhang Yuxuan was also a little confused about what the situation was.

"Is it because of the plot? Is it because the characters in "No Man's Land" are not good people?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"Who said that there are no good people in "No Man's Land", the policeman played by Wu Jing is a good person. I paid attention to it, but I was afraid that the movie would not pass the review, so I set the image of the policeman as a good person and a good policeman." Ning Hao explained road.

"No matter what you say, "No Man's Land" has not passed the trial! What did the radio and television say? How do you change it?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"It would be great if it could be changed." Ning Hao said with a depressed face, or this is where Ning Hao was really depressed: ""No Man's Land" can't be changed, and it's useless, unless it's completely overthrown and remade. , all the characters in it were replaced by good people, otherwise, this movie would not have passed the review at all."

Hearing what Ning Hao said, Zhang Yuxuan knew that "No Man's Land" really couldn't pass the review.

"Director Ning, what's going on? Why is this happening? What about the movie?" Zhang Yi couldn't help asking again and again.

"What else? We're unlucky. Not long ago, there was a major accident on the side where we were filming the movie. Therefore, Radio and Television thinks our movie is not suitable for broadcasting now." Ning Hao looked depressed.

"A major accident in the place where the movie was shot?" Zhang Yi looked confused. He didn't pay much attention to such things, so he was not very familiar with the situation.

"It's like this..." Ning Hao explained the matter.

After listening to Ning Hao's words, Zhang Yuxuan and Zhang Yi were also speechless. When it comes to things like independence, everything has to give way.

In this case, no, "No Man's Land" can't be released, at least in a short period of time, there is absolutely no way to release it.

Unless the movie "No Man's Land" is released before July, it will not be allowed after July.

"Then, our movie is, it's over?" Zhang Yi was still very reconciled, he felt that this was too unlucky for him, his first movie.And it's still a movie with a leading actor, so it's gone now.

"It's not over, just wait, wait until this matter is over, and when the matter completely subsides, then our movie will be released again." Ning Hao explained.

"Then, when will you wait?"

"If there are no accidents in the future, it will be three or four years at most, and everyone will almost forget about it, and the movie will be released by then." Ning Hao explained.

"..." Zhang Yi didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy at this time.

Say happy, my first movie is currently unable to be released.Say you're not happy, at least wait another three or four years for it to be released, and it won't be buried directly.

But the movie I am making now has to wait until three or four years before it will be released. One can imagine how Zhang Yi feels.

"Oh!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sighed heavily.

"It doesn't matter Zhang Yi, isn't there a movie "Great Wish" after us, in which you are also the protagonist. At the end of the year, the movie will still be released. Don't worry." Knowing Zhang Yi's mood, Zhang Yuxuan comforted him.

"Thank you boss." Zhang Yi twitched his lips.

"Forget it, let's not mention this. By the way, where is Wu Jing, another artist in your studio? Why didn't you see him?" Ning Hao changed the subject.

"Wu Jing, he's gone to the army." Zhang Yuxuan said.

"Ah? He went to the army? Why did he go to the army?" Ning Hao originally just changed the topic, but now he heard Zhang Yuxuan say that, and he was a little curious.

"Before I made a script for Wu Jing, Wu Jing felt that if he wanted to make that script well, he had to go to the army for training for a period of time to experience what it's like to be a soldier, so he went to the army for training." Zhang Yuxuan explained .

"What script? You even asked Wu Jing to go to the army for training?" Ning Hao asked curiously.

""Wolf Warrior", wrote the script of special forces. In order to be able to play special forces well, he went to the army, and he went to the special forces."

"Good guy, Special Forces? Can Wu Jing stand him?"

"I should be able to bear it. After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his foundation is much stronger than ordinary people."

"Tut tsk tsk, Wu Jing is also a good person, at least his attitude is really good, special forces, tsk tsk tsk. Let me read the script, "Wolf Warrior", right?" Ning Hao asked the actor to go to the special forces for training. The script is curious.

Hearing that Ning Hao wanted to read the script, Zhang Yuxuan did not hide it, and directly took out the script.

After all, on the one hand, the script has been registered long ago, so he is not afraid of leaking it, and on the other hand, Zhang Yuxuan also believes in Ning Hao's character.

Ning Hao read the script, Zhang Yi also looked curious, tilting his head to read the script.Looking at it, Zhang Yi's face was almost pressed against Ning Hao's.

"Hey, keep a little distance, keep a little distance, two big men, don't stick so close. If others see it, they will think we have something." Ning Hao read a page of the script, and when he turned the page, suddenly Noticing that Zhang Yi's face was almost touching his own, he was startled, and quickly pushed Zhang Yi's face away.

"Well, I'm reading a script."

"Won't you wait to read the script? I've finished reading this page, you should read this first."

"Row."

After the two talked about the script and read it, Ning Hao thought about the setting of the script and the shooting shots in his mind, then shook his head: "It's not the type I'm good at. It seems that I can't do this director of the play."

"I didn't plan to ask you to be the director of this movie. I planned to direct and act for Wu Jing." Zhang Yuxuan said.

"Huh? You asked Wu Jing to direct and act? Are you crazy? Or did you burn too much money?" Ning Hao couldn't help but say.

"You can't say that, Wu Jing still has the talent to be a director."

"Talented? I watched "Spike Fang" he made as a director before, and it was just like that. Talent, I really didn't see it." Ning Hao curled his lips.

"People have to have their first time, and it's not that they won't improve in the future. After Wu Jing finished filming "Spike Fang", he also learned a lot about being a director. He even went to the school's director department to audit After all, his strength has improved a lot, and when the time comes to find him two powerful assistant directors, he will have no problem making movies as a director." Zhang Yuxuan said so.

"Okay, you can say yes, anyway, the script is yours, and the investment is also yours. You spend your own money, if you want Wu Jing to be the director, just do it." Ning Hao shook his head, still not optimistic about Wu Jing as the director. kind of thing.

Zhang Yi on the side, listening to the conversation between Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao, a trace of envy flashed in his small eyes.

Zhang Yi was really envious. He never expected that his boss, Zhang Yuxuan, would support Wu Jing as a director, directing and acting in general movies.

Especially looking at the script of "Wolf Warrior", it is both aircraft and tanks, the production cost will definitely not be low.The quality of the script is also pretty good.Zhang Yuxuan was willing to spend this kind of cost to support Wu Jing.This kind of boss is definitely rare, and it can even be said to be rare.

Of course, Zhang Yi's envy is just envy, because he never thought about being a director, he just wanted to be a filmmaker, an actor himself.I don't want to be distracted by being a director.

But I never thought about being a director, but Zhang Yi still thinks the script of "Wolf Warrior" is quite good.

"Well, boss, can I act in the movie "Wolf Warrior"?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.

"Do you want to act?"

"I don't think the script of "Wolf Warrior" sounds good."

"Okay, you can act if you want. Anyway, you have been in the army before, so you are more suitable than other actors in the entertainment industry." Zhang Yuxuan immediately agreed.

"Thank you, thank you boss, thank you boss."

……

"Director Li, long time no see." Zhang Yuxuan greeted Director Li Huizhu with a smile.

"Indeed, it's been a long time. I think you just entered the entertainment industry back then, and within a few years, you have become the top movie star in the country. Your growth rate is really too rare, no, It should be said that you are the only one." Li Huizhu chuckled, and there was a bit of flattery in his tone, even if Li Huizhu didn't do it on purpose, Zhang Yuxuan's development is better than her in the entertainment industry , she can't help but subconsciously do so.

Li Huizhu is the director of Zhang Yuxuan's fourth TV series after his debut.

Back then, Zhang Yuxuan was still a fledgling, and he had just made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

Then when Li Huizhu directed "A Chinese Ghost Story", she began to add scenes to Zhang Yuxuan. Originally, it was only the supporting role of the male Wuliuqi. The male is Ning Caichen.

Although the reason why Li Huizhu added Zhang Yuxuan's play was largely because of Zhang Yuxuan's enthusiasm, but it is undeniable that Li Huizhu's added play also made Zhang Yuxuan's Demon King Seven Nights a classic character.

Especially when adding scenes, many scenes and settings were added according to Zhang Yuxuan's ideas.

So speaking of it, Zhang Yuxuan owed director Li Huizhu a favor.

So Director Li Huizhu came to look for Zhang Yuxuan, and Zhang Yuxuan agreed to meet Director Li Huizhu out of this favor.

Zhang Yuxuan and director Li Huizhu chatted casually, chatting about their experiences over the years, and talking about their respective achievements.

However, when Li Huizhu was chatting, there was still some praise for Zhang Yuxuan in his words.

"Director Li is looking for me this time?"

After chatting for a while, Henry Zhang asked with a smile.

"Actually, this time, I came to you, Yuxuan, mainly to recommend myself. I want to ask, Yuxuan, your studio, if you want to hire a director." Li Huizhu said with a smile.

"Director Li, do you want to join my studio?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at Li Huizhu in surprise.

The name Li Huizhu may not be known to many people.But Li Huizhu is indeed an excellent director, and many people know the works she has directed.

The director of Zhang Yuxuan's previous TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" is Li Huizhu.

There are also "Detective Fang Yao", "I Have a Date with a Zombie Part [-]", "Xin Chu Liuxiang", "Snowflake Excalibur" and so on.

Even later TV series such as "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Gong Suo Xin Yu" are also her works.

It can be said that Li Huizhu is really a very good TV director.

It's just that Zhang Yuxuan didn't expect that she wanted to join his studio now.

"Yeah, I left Ascot last year. After a period of rest, it was like looking for a job again. And now, the development of the mainland is much better than that of Xiangjiang. At least for us in the entertainment industry, the mainland The environment is so good. So I wanted to find a job in the mainland, and it just so happened that you, Yuxuan, set up your own personal studio, so I wanted to ask if you want to hire a director in your studio." Li Huizhu smiled explain.

"Recruitment, of course I recruited a director. It's just that there is no such excellent director as Director Li to join. Director Li is willing to join my studio, of course I welcome it with both hands." Zhang Yuxuan warmly welcomed Li Huizhu's joining.

After hearing Zhang Yuxuan's words, Li Huizhu was also very happy.

The reason why Li Huizhu chose to join Zhang Yuxuan's personal studio was because Zhang Yuxuan's studio had just been established and there was no director to join, so she wanted to join in so that she could get better resources.

Moreover, although Li Huizhu is a TV director, she also wants to make a living in the film industry.

In fact, as early as the 90s, Li Huizhu tried to break into the film industry.

It's just that as a female director, she doesn't have much backing. It's not that easy to break into the film industry, and she ended up failing.

As for Zhang Yuxuan, he was very successful in making TV series, and he was even more successful in making movies.

And Zhang Yuxuan will also write the script by himself.

Just like Ning Hao, although Ning Hao himself has real talents, Ning Hao's success is absolutely inseparable from the support of Zhang Yuxuan's script.

So Li Huizhu joined Zhang Yuxuan's studio because she wanted Zhang Yuxuan to write a movie script for her.

If Zhang Yuxuan can write a few excellent scripts for her, maybe she will become an excellent film director.

Zhang Yuxuan's studio needs a director, and Li Huizhu also intends to join.So the two hit it off, and Li Huizhu signed the contract and became the first director to join Zhang Yuxuan's studio.

However, after Li Huizhu joined, Zhang Yuxuan had to consider what resources to give to Li Huizhu.

Let Li Huizhu make a movie?
Zhang Yuxuan would indeed consider this.But Li Huizhu is better at filming TV dramas.

Some directors who can shoot excellent TV series may not be able to shoot well if they are asked to make movies.

Just like Zhao Baogang, the earliest TV series "Desire" was really a sensation, and later there were "Story of the Editorial Department", "Death is Unforgettable", "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" and "Struggle".It can be said that the TV series he filmed are absolutely excellent.

However, Zhao Baogang, an excellent TV drama director, did not succeed in making movies, and finally went back to filming TV dramas.

So Zhang Yuxuan was not sure if Li Huizhu could make a good movie.

So what Zhang Yuxuan wanted Li Huizhu to film was still a TV series.

But when it comes to TV dramas—to be honest, before 2010, Zhang Yuxuan still watched TV dramas, but after that, he didn’t watch TV dramas very much.

The main reason is that the further you go, the more crooked the three views of TV dramas are, and it's impossible to watch the crooked ones.

And TV series like "Langya Bang" and "Zuo Son-in-law" seem to be adapted from novels.So Zhang Yuxuan inevitably thought of the copyright of some novels.

At this stage, novels are adapted into TV dramas. Except for several masters of martial arts novels in Xiangjiang, there are still very few examples of other types of novels being adapted into TV dramas.

So, should we buy the copyright of some novels and stock up on a batch of IPs.

Something like "Langya Bang" and "Zuo Son-in-law", or something like "Zhu Xian" and "Ma Breaks the Sky".

Well, there are also "Tomb Raiders Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the copyrights of these two are even more popular.

Zhang Yuxuan was moved, so he began to arrange people to buy the film and television adaptation rights of these novels.

Speaking of which, the price of purchasing the copyright of a novel at this time is really not expensive, it should even be said to be quite cheap, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands can buy the copyright.

Thinking about future generations, the copyrights of excellent novels are worth tens of millions or even higher, so don't even think about it.

"Why are you going to buy the film and television copyright of online novels all of a sudden?" Li Ling couldn't help asking when he knew that Zhang Yuxuan was going to buy the copyright of online novels.

"Of course it's a TV series or a movie."

"Is it appropriate? It's just an online novel, it doesn't feel right?"

"It's suitable, why isn't it suitable. After you read the novels I'm talking about, you'll know if it's suitable."
