They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 555: Official announcement, some people can’t sit still (-in-)

It is a good thing to arrange Jin Longbo!

For Jin Longbo himself, his career can go further, have better development, and have higher income.

For Mumu Film and Television and Yang Yi, it can also increase the production of works and promote the company's vigorous development.

Yang Yi does not lack scripts, but what he lacks is the people and time to film them.

Like this time, Jin Longbo can help him film a TV series that has been included in his script library. Even if the shooting speed is a little slower and the production cycle is a little longer, Yang Yi can save a lot of time himself. Make the movies he wants to make more.

However, there is still a minor problem here.

That is, Jin Longbo took Wen Jingchen to re-establish the crew, and the company would have no one to serve as assistant director for Yang Yi for the time being!

For many years, Mumu Film and Television has adhered to the operating philosophy of elite troops and rarely recruited external personnel. Even though its annual profits now exceed those of the four traditional domestic film and television companies, they have not expanded rapidly.

Cheng Wannian and others came to Mumu Film and Television as guests, and they often lamented the scale of Mumu Film and Television. It looked similar to those small and unconventional companies, but it turned out that it has become a film and television giant that no one dares to underestimate in domestic entertainment!

It's just that Yang Yicheng is the assistant director now. If he recruits people temporarily, he may not be able to find a suitable candidate.

"The good news is that I am not in a hurry to film now. I have to wait until "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is finished before I start filming my movie. Last year on the school anniversary, I went back to school to visit my former teacher and met Principal Yu. He asked if our company was hiring interns, and I said I would discuss it with you before giving an answer, but I didn’t reply to him later," Yang Yi said.

Hearing Xian Zhiya's intention, Le Zehan immediately understood what Yang Yi meant: "You mean to recruit talents from among your junior brothers and sisters?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" does not have a suitable role for Xu Xiaoqiang. Xu Xiaoqiang is just a cameo in it, which does not reflect his true level.

Xu Xiaoqiang's sincere and enthusiastic personality, and his willingness to help others even if he suffered a loss, made almost everyone in the company dislike him. Le Zehan also liked this younger brother so much that he took the initiative to recommend him to Yang Yi.

"It is indeed a good idea to cooperate with Jingying Film and let their students intern on the set. This can also be regarded as actively assuming social responsibility and is good for improving the image of our company." Le Zehan pondered.

Yang Yi does not need a talented director with high ambitions but low ambitions. He prefers ordinary students who are open-minded, eager to learn, obedient and calm.

"I also have a selfish intention. They come to help the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Regardless of whether they can stay in our company later, at least during this process, they still got exposed to the filming of martial arts TV series and learned about the behind-the-scenes creation of kung fu-themed works. . When they make their own movies in the future, they may also have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of subject matter. If this experience is helpful to them, then our arrangements will indirectly contribute to Chinese martial arts." Yang Yi said with a smile.

Of course, it's not that Yang Yi doesn't like Xu Xiaoqiang.

Yang Yi also liked Xu Xiaoqiang very much, but he never thought of letting Xu Xiaoqiang develop in the direction of a director.

"Then our Mumu Film and Television is almost half the Whampoa Military Academy in the film and television industry! However, I do have a candidate for the assistant director you mentioned." Le Zehan changed the subject.

Because Kong Yaojie has his own ideas and a strong self-esteem - or rather arrogant!

For such a director, he can only shoot his own story according to his own ideas. It is difficult for Yang Yi to be the deputy director and do his job in a down-to-earth manner.

In order to find a suitable assistant director to partner with him, Yang Yi had to first let them come to the set and practice for several months, and then select the most suitable person based on their daily performance.

These personality traits are difficult to judge from one or two interviews, just like Yang Yi knows Liao Chunsheng well and has worked with Jin Longbo for several months, so he has a better understanding of his personality.

"Who?"

After the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is completed, Yang Yi plans to give Liao Chunsheng the script of a literary film and ask him to take Xu Xiaoqiang to make the film.

"Well, it's not recruitment yet. Instead, we can work with Jingying Film to recruit a group of juniors and juniors majoring in directing to come over for internship. Those who are interested can come, no matter what grade they are in. Then from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Let the play begin, let them come to the set to observe and learn, and let Chunsheng arrange some tasks for them. I will see their performance then, and if appropriate, come to my crew to practice again." Yang Yi said.

Because in his opinion, Xu Xiaoqiang is the most suitable to be an actor, and he is a rare good actor with distinctive characteristics in the entertainment industry!

Playing a role that suits him, Xu Xiaoqiang will definitely shine!

This is the case with "I'm Not a Passerby"!

Xu Xiaoqiang has no drama to act in for the time being. It's not that Yang Yi didn't think of arranging any film and television projects for him, but the directors under Yang Yi are busy and can't spare any time.

For example, a director like Kong Yaojie is very capable. He was able to make amazing literary films at the beginning of his career, but it is impossible for Yang Yi to ask him to be his assistant director and help him.

He didn't know which junior or younger brother was suitable. Choosing an assistant director was more subjective. It didn't mean that those with strong abilities could stay.

If it weren't for the fact that he had lost and had no way out, and because Shi Yanqiu couldn't refuse his kindness, Kong Yaojie wouldn't have been able to accept Yang Yi's request and film "Buddha Plus" according to Yang Yi's storyboards.

"Xiaoqiang! Who can compare to Xu Xiaoqiang in terms of his honest character and hard-working attitude? Whether it is Chunsheng's crew or your crew, he is always rushing to help with work. When there is no filming, he comes to the company every day. He did all the dirty work earlier than anyone else." Le Zehan said a name that Yang Yi had not expected.

But in that movie, Xu Xiaoqiang took the leading role alone and played the leading role!

All Yang Yi could think about was letting Xu Xiaoqiang act, so naturally he didn't consider training him to be an assistant director.

"But his educational level is a bit low. It will probably take a lot of effort to train him." Le Zehan continued.

Yang Yi nodded lightly and said with a smile: "If he is willing to learn, it doesn't matter if it takes a little effort to train him. Let him try it first. He is still young, so it is good to learn more. And get in touch with the directing industry, It will also be helpful for him in acting, giving him an extra perspective and understanding." With Xu Xiaoqiang's naivety, he may not be able to tell a good story through the lens like other directors. It's like Yang Yi found him in the system before The same template as that one.

But Yang Yi believes that he can definitely do what he is told, and being an executive deputy director is not a big problem.

Yang Yi doesn't just need an assistant director. When filming a big production like "The Wandering Earth", Yang Yi has three assistant directors, Liao Chunsheng, Shen Qiushuang, and Jin Longbo.

Therefore, he not only wanted to train Xu Xiaoqiang, but also recruited interns, a two-pronged approach!

On January 10th, Mumu Film and Television’s official Weibo released the first trailer and officially announced that “The Wandering Earth” will be officially released on New Year’s Day!

This news is quite explosive, because no one expected that "The Wandering Earth" would be released so soon, let alone that "The Wandering Earth" would join the Spring Festival this year!

This Spring Festival season is very lively. There are a lot of big-name movies that have been officially announced, including one by Rong Yuan, one by Weng Pengfei, and old faces that are familiar to the audience, such as Jing Zhilan, Yu Yajun, Mu Wenyi, etc., have also appeared with their works to promote their films.

Not to mention, there are sequels to well-known movies like Some Like It Hot 2.

Yes, Boss Luo and Boss Zhang started to curse after seeing the official announcement that "The Wandering Earth" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

"I'm so stupid, why is this Yang Yi still haunting us? Why did he announce that he would go on New Year's Day before the movie? Why did he also say he would go on New Year's Day after the movie? Is it intentional?" Mr. Luo was disgusted. I couldn't help but call Mr. Zhang to complain.

"It's not as if they have calculated it to this extent. They don't know when our movie will be released. And this kind of thing cannot be arranged on a temporary basis. You have to talk to the theaters about arranging the film for a long time." Mr. Zhang was also very depressed, but Still trying to analyze it rationally.

"Mr. Zhang, do we want to cancel the show? Do we really have to bite the bullet and compete with "The Wandering Earth"?" Mr. Luo hesitated for a moment, then confessed all his thoughts that he had given up on.

There is no way not to be timid!

Mr. Luo watched the trailer of "The Wandering Earth". Although it is the first trailer, although it only introduces the background of the story, and although it only gives a glimpse of the special effects in the movie, it is already shocking enough!

Whether it is the scene of thousands of miles of ice and snow falling on the earth, or the sci-fi planetary engine, or the protective clothing and weapons worn by the team supporting the planetary engine, Mr. Luo saw the difference in this movie A special adaptation of those crude science fiction films of the past.

It seems to be a real science fiction blockbuster, and it has extremely realistic special effects!

Not to mention the cheering fans on Weibo, Mr. Luo himself couldn't help but be curious about the movie.

If there hadn't been such a thing as the previous divestment, I'm afraid Mr. Luo would also be looking forward to seeing this blockbuster, which is said to be a hardcore science fiction! But it's a pity that he withdrew his investment, and now he found out that this movie really had something to offer, and Yang Yi might actually make a science fiction blockbuster, so Mr. Luo started to feel uncomfortable.

What if, what if Yang Yi's movie really hits the box office?

Doesn’t it look stupid that he withdrew his capital midway?

And what about the money lost by Takong? The money you don’t earn is also your loss!

Mr. Luo knows that now that they have invested in "Some Like It Hot 2", they should not still be thinking about "The Wandering Earth" and expect "The Wandering Earth" to be a box office hit. It is better to expect "Some Like It Hot 2" to be a hit at the box office.

But what if "Some Like It Hot 2" can't beat "The Wandering Earth"? Moreover, there are so many blockbusters gathered during the Spring Festival this year, all of which are big-name actors. Chen Ning in "Some Like It Hot 2" seems a bit underwhelmed. What if "Some Like It Hot 2" becomes a box office hit?

Thinking of this, Mr. Luo couldn't sleep at night. He wanted to call the crew immediately, cancel the show and run away.

"It can't be withdrawn. The official announcement has been made. If it is withdrawn now, will our movie become a joke for others? Don't worry. How about "The Wandering Earth", it will not affect our movie. "Some Like It Hot" "Fire 2" is not the same type of movie as it, and the audience is different." Mr. Zhang reluctantly comforted Mr. Luo. He himself was worried that he had made a mistake before.

"Ma De, why is this Spring Festival stall so busy? I can't understand why everyone is crowding in here!" Mr. Luo said through gritted teeth.

"There's nothing I can do. Last year's National Day holiday during the Spring Festival did so well, and the total box office for the whole year broke the record. Everyone knows that making movies makes money! During the Spring Festival, the whole movie can be released, as long as it's not that bad, making money is not a problem, and getting together is fine. Normal." Mr. Zhang doesn't care about others getting together.

Because the more they gather together, the more it means that the market pie is huge. They are sequels of well-known IPs, and Chen Ning, a traffic star, supports the scene. The success rate of getting a piece of the pie is very high!

The cost of their movie is not low, and most of the production budget was given to the original copyright owner and Chen Ning, but it is not high, and it won't be as scary as Yang Yi's "The Wandering Earth." As long as it has three or four With a box office of RMB 100 million, they can already recoup their investment. If it gets a box office of RMB 700 million like the first part of "Some Like It Hot", then they can make a lot of money from their investment.

In front of the big cake of the Spring Festival, they will most likely make a lot of money. Therefore, if there is no official announcement of "The Wandering Earth", Mr. Zhang will be very happy and prepare to order champagne in advance to celebrate the huge investment.

Now "The Wandering Earth" has come out to disrupt the situation, which makes Mr. Zhang feel very unhappy, but a calm analysis shows that in fact, their basic plan for "Some Like It Hot 2" has not changed, and the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is really good for their love-themed movie. Not much impact.

"Mr. Zhang is right. We make our money, and "The Wandering Earth" makes theirs. It has nothing to do with us." Mr. Luo was in a slightly better mood.

"They may not be able to make money. I saw its trailer and felt it was a bit grand. Such a movie that is always sensational may not be liked by the public! Maybe within a few days of the movie's release, there will be a lot of criticism on the Internet. ." Mr. Zhang also didn't see the success of "The Wandering Earth", so he just found fault with it in the trailer.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, if you don't tell me, I haven't discovered it yet! Yang Yi has made this kind of movie, like "Kurdant", and many people scolded "Kurdant" for hugging the top. Well, yes, we can buy some water Jun, give him some rhythm!" Mr. Luo said viciously.

Even if "The Wandering Earth" does not form much competition with them, they are not willing to see "The Wandering Earth" be released smoothly, let alone see "The Wandering Earth" become a box office hit.

It would be better if it is very controversial and scares away some viewers who want to see the movie. In this way, "The Wandering Earth" will not be able to recoup its costs, causing Yang Yi and others to suffer a huge loss!

"Mr. Luo still has an idea, let's muddy the water for him!" Mr. Zhang was also very interested.
