How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 65
"Dividing into two teams to shoot at the same time can improve shooting efficiency and save time, but Director Zhang, are you busy all by yourself?"

Feng Xiaogang got to the point.

There's nothing wrong with doing this, and it's normal. Many production crews do this, but a director can only shoot with one crew at most, and can't worry about shooting with another crew.

Zhang Nan shook his head, "So I plan to ask you to lead a team to shoot, how do you feel?"

Feng Xiaogang's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He really didn't expect that Zhang Nan would ask him to lead a team to shoot.

Because asking him to lead a team to shoot, it is equivalent to Zhang Nan giving away part of the director's directing rights.

This is the directing right of [Magic City Martial Arts] with an investment of 5000 million US dollars!
Even if it's only part of the directing power.

And whether the camera can pass the test in the end, it must pass Zhang Nan's nod.

But no matter how you say it, whoever gets this part of the directing power.

This [Magic City Martial Art Museum] is of course Zhang Nan's work in name, but in essence, it can also be regarded as part of his Feng Xiaogang's work.

A film with an investment of 5000 million US dollars, which is destined to hit theaters around the world, is partly his work, Feng Xiaogang.

"Zhang...Director Zhang, you are serious." Feng Xiaogang trembled and stuttered when he spoke excitedly.

Zhang Nan nodded, "It's okay, what am I doing to tease you, and my idea is not a whim, didn't I ask you about the idea of ​​several shots these days.

I just found out that we both have the same ideas.

You just saw the original shooting progress. It is too full, not to mention tiring, and the shooting cycle may be extended by then.

So I thought about forming another team, shooting at the same time, going in both directions, and speeding up the progress.

There are so many directors in the crew, and I have tried all of them during this time, but none of them met my requirements, only Director Feng, you have the same idea as me.

Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. After the movie is finished, the salary should be as much as it is. "

After Feng Xiaogang heard this, he could only feel the blood rushing to his head, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Looking at Feng Xiaogang's appearance, Zhang Nan couldn't see what Feng Xiaogang meant, so he didn't say any more polite words, "Okay, this matter is settled like this."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Nan ran away directly.
-
1997, June 1.

New Year.

New year new life.

Originally, because Zhang Nan was both the leading actor and the director, his status in the crew was unmatched.

After the practice of unifying the food standards in the crew came out, Zhang Nan directly gained a higher reputation among the mainland artists and behind-the-scenes workers in the entire crew.

Let the crew, which was already running very smoothly, improve a lot of efficiency.

In addition, Zhang Nan left a large number of complicated and unimportant shots to Feng Xiaogang to shoot.

Zhang Nan's work intensity can be regarded as reduced, and he no longer has to stay up late to work, and he is greatly relieved.

After recuperating for a period of time, Zhang Nan's drained ammunition depot basically recovered.

But it may be that Zhang Nan has been sluggish and busy for too long before, which cooled the enthusiasm of the female artist.

When Zhang Nan came to his senses and wanted to have something happen, he found that there was no chance, and the enthusiasm of the female Bodhisattvas was gone.

Not to mention coming to him at night to discuss the script, even in broad daylight, there were far fewer cases where I had nothing to do with him.

This made Zhang Nan very distressed, and he wanted to ask a question.

What happened to the entertainment industry now?
As an entertainer, I don't have any perseverance.

He can understand the 3-minute popularity of female artists from the Mainland, Xiangjiang and Wanwan.

How come the neon female artists are like this too.

It's not the same as the ones in those movies!

Can't you treat me, Zhang Nan, with the same persistent attitude you treat plumbers?

But... Zhang Nan only dared to be incompetent and furious in his heart.

Then—change the target, take Xu Zheng who has not yet lost his hair, Wu Jin who is a small butcher, Gao Yalin who has not yet become Liu Xing's father, and the well-known Zhao Wenzhuo to go to a barbecue stand to eat and drink together to deepen their relationship.

If you can't have romance with female artists, then you have to play friendship with male artists.

Facing the friendship invitation from Zhang Nan, no one would refuse.

And the relationship between old men is much simpler than that between men and women.

After a few times, the relationship between Zhang Nan and most of the male artists in the crew has become much stronger.

After work is over, we go to barbecue together if we have nothing to do.

Today is New Year's Day again, so Zhang Nan walked towards the barbecue booth at six o'clock in the afternoon when work was over again.

Seeing Zhang Nan coming, Wu Jin, Xu Zheng, Gao Yalin and Zhao Wenzhuo booed and said, "Director Zhang, today's meal is yours."

Although the salaries of several people are not high, they don't have much money for a barbecue, and several people are invited in turn.

As soon as Zhang Nan heard this, he knew something was wrong.

First, he skillfully pulled out a chair, picked up a meat skewer and put it near his mouth, then licked it into his mouth, and said while eating, "It's okay for me to please, I have to give an explanation."

A few people didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed a newspaper to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan swallowed the meat in his mouth, and looked at the headline in black and bold in the newspaper - 1996 Global Annual Box Office Rankings.

He understood.

The domestic time difference is 1997 hours faster than that of North America, so it is at 1997 o'clock in the evening on January [-], [-], and it is just after [-] o'clock in the morning on January [-], [-] in North America. .

And every time a new year begins, the North American media likes to boo the entire annual ranking list.

No, [Jingcheng Wuguan] ranked third in the annual box office list with a global box office of 4.8 million US dollars.

The above is the runner-up-the US$4.9 million disaster film "Tornado", and the champion - the US$8.17 million science fiction film "Independence Day".

The following No.4 is the first part of Tom Cruise's most famous series of movies, the spy movie "Mission: Impossible 4.45" with a box office of 1 million US dollars.

No.5 is Michael Bay's classic explosive film "Into the Deadly Island".

No.6 is Jim Carrey's 2000 million US dollar comedy "Ace Correspondent" who took 2000 million pay and opened Hollywood's 2.4 million pay club.

Science fiction films, Kung Fu films, Disaster films, Spy films, Explosive films, Comedy films, among the top six of the annual box office rankings, there are no films with repeated genres.

It can be seen that in the film industry at this time, a hundred flowers are still in full bloom, and it is thriving, unlike the one-shot Marvel superhero films like later generations.

Moreover, the feeling of suppressing Tom Cruise, Michael Bay, Jim Carrey, these big directors and superstars also made Zhang Nan feel very good.

But - it's not cool enough for Zhang Nan to treat him.

"Beforehand, the 4.8 million yuan did not fall into my hands. I am a director and starring role, and I only earned 300 million yuan, and most of it was earned by Disney." Zhang Nan quibbled.

"Director Zhang, keep reading." Wu Jin reminded.
