Start with a god-level director

Chapter 48
Ming Empire.

"Director Li..."

With a smile all over her face, Xiao Lizhu brought a cup of tea to the bearded director in front of her.

"Hmm."

The middle-aged man in front of him nodded a little distractedly, as if he didn't hear Xiao Lizhu's words.

"Director Li, do you have any plans for the movie Battle on the Snow Mountain?"

Xiao Lizhu asked softly, with Shen Yu's little head in her heart.

Director Li is a well-known director of war films in the Ming Empire. The film he made, Battle on the Snow Mountain, is a large-scale historical war film invested by Universal Pictures. s story.

Director Li has been preparing for this war film for a long time, and Universal Pictures has also invested a lot of money. It is a key project of the company and is going to be released next year.

But... the producer told Xiao Lizhu that the filming started less than a month ago, and Director Li was in a bad mood.

All of this started when Director Li secretly went out to watch Saving Private Gordon.

Well, of course Xiao Lizhu will curse Shen Yu.

If we hadn't seen the light, we could have endured the dark, but...

After the movie of Saving Private Gordon came out, apart from admiration and jealousy among the director circle of the Ming Empire, there was a lot of mourning at the same time.

For many war movies and action movies that are being filmed, the directors get stuck, or bite the bullet and continue to shoot, or prepare to re-shoot. Director Li is the latter. He watched Shen Yu's movie and was like a thunderbolt.

Before watching a movie.

"In a barbaric place like the United States, apart from those messy movies, what's so good about gangster movies?"

Finished watching the movie.

"I'm sorry, don't bother me, I want to be quiet, buy me a videotape of the movie, no... the clarity is too poor, I'd better watch it in the theater..."

So, Director Li was filming the movie with all his heart, and went to the theater to watch Saving Private Gordon on time every afternoon.

Then...his mind went into chaos, and the whole shooting scene was in chaos.

The martial arts master suddenly ate the treasures of heaven and earth, and it would be difficult to digest in a short time. His moves and internal strength could not match, and he was full of loopholes.

Director Li also had the same problem. While watching Shen Yu's movie, inspirations rushed out of his mind, and he wanted to experiment with countless new ideas, but it was difficult for him to do so.

"Director Li, I understand what you mean."

After sending Director Li out the door, Xiao Lizhu sighed.

Director Li is still a kind person. He sincerely told Xiao Lizhu that after Saving Private Gordon came out, the road to war movies was temporarily blocked by Shen Yu.

Within three years, Shen Yu dominated one side.

Three years away, it is time for other directors to let a hundred flowers bloom and bring forth the new.

And if the director who is not up and down in the middle still uses the old method, shoots movies with old-fashioned long shots, and tells stories in old-fashioned ways... then it is really better not to shoot.

The hard-shooting of the decisive battle in the snow mountain can be made, but the box office will not be satisfactory, and the ratings after it comes out are not good enough, and finally it has a negative review.

He asked the film to stop first, revise the script, learn Shen Yu's shooting techniques carefully, and at the same time innovate, strive to meet the progress of the times as quickly as possible, and then work for the company.

Ok……

Director Li is okay, at least he didn't ask Shen Yu to come over and take a deputy position...

"By the way, Mr. Xiao, there is actually another way. Isn't Director Shen cooperating with the company to shoot a war movie? Why don't you let me go to his crew to observe and chat, don't worry, I will definitely You won’t treat him as a young man, but only as a master, learn his skills well, do you think it’s okay?”

Director Li, who had already walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Lizhu like this.

"Well, Shen Yu is a bit arrogant and difficult to deal with. Director Li, don't count on him..."

Although she really wanted to talk about her face, Xiao Lizhu still told the truth.

"Alright alright……"

Director Li sighed and staggered away, while Xiao Lizhu also sighed deeply.

Let her take the initiative to call Shen Yu, even if she is killed, she won't do it!

As the saying goes, people fight for breath, she will never forget the way Shen Yu looked at her like a silly rabbit that day.

You're a bunny that bumps into a tree stump!

But in the end, after thinking for a long time, she still had to sign the contract, knowing that it was a pit, but she still had to jump into it.

At the moment when the contract was signed, she saw Shen Yu's expression in the reflection of the mirror next to her.

It's not arrogant, it's not arrogant, but it's an expression of watching the silly rabbit go to the pot, but a little disgusted that the meat quality of this rabbit is not very good, but he has to reluctantly hold his nose to accept it.

He needs a silly rabbit to put him in the pot, so let's just have this one.

Anyway, that's it, let's make do with it.

Although a bit old, a bit stupid, alas...

What do you think of my old lady!

The phone in front of her rang, and Xiao Lizhu picked it up.

"It's Akiko Kawaguchi...how's the situation over there?"

Kawaguchi Qianko is an assistant prepared by Universal Film and Television Company for the crew. She is dark and thin in her 40s. She is used to coordinate various problems encountered by the crew in Europe and provide help. Of course, Xiao Lizhu also gave her orders , don't spoil her what movie Shen Yu filmed, what plot, what story, what characters...

She is also a face-saving person, isn't she?Even Shen Yu said it clearly, she didn't believe it, her IQ couldn't figure it out!

She has many lawyer experts under her command, and they will definitely be able to study the loopholes in the treaty.

What's more, Shen Yu said that even if she knew in advance, she would only be tortured for a few months.

...She suddenly felt that she was very sad, and she actually believed Shen Yu's words.

"The situation is good, the production of the film went smoothly, Shen Yu is the most talented director I have ever met, and he is also the most dedicated director. I didn't realize that he was enriching himself in it. The procurement is very reasonable, and at the same time, he controls the speed very well. "

Kawaguchi Qianko reported the situation over there, including some trivial things, such as Shen Yu didn't go out to mess around, didn't bring a girlfriend with him, or simply invited European star models to come over. She rejected many receptions. I don't even look at the bouquet with the room number.

For example, Shen Yu was very tired after a day of shooting, and the circles under his eyes were a bit dark (in fact, he was too scared to sleep well) and so on.

Xiao Lizhu didn't say much, but just listened quietly, and when Akiko Kawaguchi finished her report, she didn't hang up the phone either.

Cold knowledge, when subordinates report work, they must not hang up before the leader hangs up the phone.

Therefore, because Xiao Lizhu didn't hang up the phone, Kawaguchi Akiko over there also didn't hang up the phone, but waited for the boss to speak.

Because overseas calls are very expensive, Kawaguchi Akiko finally chose a showdown.

Or said helplessly.

"I know what the boss is thinking."

"When I left the boss to go to Europe, you told me never to spoil the plot, characters, stories, etc. to the boss. I can understand your mood, and I made a promise to you."

"Boss, please believe in my professional ethics, and I can guarantee that Shen Yu gave you a big surprise, a big surprise beyond your imagination. There are loopholes in the contract. You lost, and you lost completely. .”

"Don't torture yourself. If you want to know the result, just ask me directly. The answer is very simple. We will lose all our money in this business, and we will not make a penny."
