Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Shen Xi had a book on the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and originally wanted to get some money from Holly to complete the project.

He regarded Holly as the kind of cheerful local rich man. As long as he could make money by selling the movie, he felt that Holly would not deny his idea.

He also understands the shooting of documentaries. He can just incorporate a few elements into it to fool Holly. The main purpose is to reach the commercial market.

I just didn't expect that Hawley didn't care about commercial value. What he needed was a documentary that recorded historical facts, and there were no restrictions on funds and shooting.

There is no doubt that his request is a great test for the director and his pursuit of fame and fortune. If the film is made according to his ideas, he will not be able to take on other projects for five to ten years. All his energy will be devoted to the documentary "Veteran", which is not cost-effective.

Before Holly could chase anyone away, Shen Xi took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.

The two are not close friends and cannot get together.

The reason why Huo Li used Situ Zhaodun as an example was because he wanted to kill Shen Xi's utilitarianism.

Don't talk about film art every day, and go around collecting money to make some bad dramas or divine dramas, which are both good and successful.

Only directors like Szeto Zhaodun are qualified to mention film art.

If he wanted to make a commercial film, with his status and reputation in the industry, he would just have to ask and a number of financial backers would come to him and give him money.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, representatives of the fifth generation of directors, were both his apprentices. He is a leading figure in the directing circle and is highly respected.

Unfortunately, the old artist passed away in August this year at the age of 85.

However, his TV documentary works are permanently collected by Beijing Film Academy and CCTV.

"Road", "Environmental Art", "Glorious Course", "Our People's Congress"... are all works that can directly touch people's hearts.

Situ Zhaodun is also known as the father of documentary in China.

Later generations of documentary directors, especially those with realistic themes, were more or less influenced and inspired by him.

When Holly mentioned the work "The Road", Shen Xi naturally knew what he wanted.

Very self-aware and took the initiative to leave.

The recruitment of directors for the "Veterans" documentary continues.

However, the recruitment effect was not very satisfactory. Either he did not dare to accept the offer, or it did not meet the standards in Holly's mind.

Until the end of September, a great documentary director came and wanted to challenge me.

Holly was very welcoming and warm.

This documentary director is Director Yan Dongyan, Director of the Program Department of CCTV Social Education Center.

His film "Song of the Long March" was particularly influential. After it was broadcast, the number of views on related topics on Weibo exceeded one billion, and the number of clicks on the entire network reached 13.4 billion.

In addition to the popular documentary "Song of the Long March", his films such as "Pilot", "Long March" and "Dare to Teach the Sun and the Moon to Change the Sky" have all won the "May [-]st Project Award".

It can be said that he is No. 1 in documentaries on civil war and military themes.

He came to take over the project, and Hawley had great confidence in him.

It may just have some impact on his work. After all, he is now the department leader of CCTV and needs to coordinate the relationships between all parties.

In the evening, Holly received Director Yan at the Marriott Hotel.

Director Yan was humble and polite. He walked into the box, smiled and shook hands with Holly, "Mr. Huo, I've admired you for a long time. I paid close attention to the whole process of how you helped the veterans realize their dreams, and I was deeply touched.

It's my honor to have the opportunity to meet you. "

Holly invited: "It is also an honor for me that Director Yan can take over the project of "Veteran".

I have watched "Song of the Long March" you shot several times over and over again, and I am still moved by it.

Please take a seat. "

"Mr. Huo, please."

The two sat down and the waiter poured wine for them.

Holly first raised a glass to welcome Yan Dong to Jiangcheng, "Is Director Yan coming from the capital?"

Yan Dong raised a toast to Holly, "I came from Zunyi and participated in a Long March history forum there.

Thinking that no one has taken over Mr. Huo's "Veteran" project, I wanted to challenge it.

Meet Mr. Huo.

I will fly to Yan'an tomorrow morning, where I will attend a historical forum. "

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Yan." Holly said.

Yan Dong said: "Mr. Huo, I would like to recommend two directors to you. If you can invite these two directors, I can serve as the chief director of "Veteran".

No matter how long it takes, we eat this project. "

Holly stretched out his hand and said, "Director Yan, please speak."

Yan Dong said: "One is a documentary director I admire very much, Li Dongkun."

Holly nodded, "I've heard about it. I've seen his "China" and it was very shocking."

Yan Dong said: "He also has a work called "Hexi Corridor". He is very good at studying history and his shooting techniques are also very unique. If he joins, it will be even more powerful for me.

The other director is a female director, Ji Dan, who I think is the most talented documentary director in China.

Her "Harbin Winding Staircase", "Dangerous Nest", and "Japanese Post-War Remaining Women in China" were very well shot.

Among the documentary directors I know, she is the best at photographing people, especially the human conflicts and inner emotional turmoil of the lower class, which are perfectly reflected in her works.

The documentary "Veteran" needs a director who can shoot people. "

The rating is very high.

Holly can also feel that Yan Dong really wants to make "Veteran" a success.

A few capable assistants are needed.Holly nodded and said cheerfully, "Director Yan, I will ask someone to handle this matter. Even if they are tied up, I will tie up these two directors for you."

Made a joke.

Yan Dong smiled and clinked glasses with Holly, "Finally, I hope Mr. Huo will be mentally prepared.

The filming cycle of "Veteran" will be very long. We need to do a lot of historical research and character interviews in the early stage. As a director, you will definitely follow your own thinking and don't want to be disturbed too much by producers and investors. "

Holly smiled: "Director Yan is overly worried. Before you came, I had already rejected a director who was making a commercial film.

The reason for rejection was that he was too utilitarian.

I promised that as long as someone is willing to take on this project, no matter how long it takes, I will support this team.

Director Yan, I hope that this work we collaborate on will not only play a propaganda role, but also be a documentary that will be handed down from generation to generation, informing our descendants about this history and the people who made sacrifices for this history. "

"Mr. Huo's two words aroused my excitement." Yan Dong toasted to Holly again, "Mr. Huo, happy cooperation."

Documentary directors are different from commercial film directors. Commercial film directors sometimes make bad films that harm their reputation for money or relationships.

For example, Wang Jing is known as the king of bad movies. Can't he make good works?Of course not, "Nine-Rank Sesame Official", "God of Gamblers", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Demon Sect Leader"... are all very classic works.

But he still often makes bad movies. He himself said in interviews, firstly, to make money, and secondly, to return favors.

He can make hundreds of films in his lifetime, but a documentary director may only make a dozen or even a few films in his lifetime, and even fewer are famous and well-known.

Therefore, the documentary director cherishes his own wings very much, which is a reflection of his personal ability and artistic value.

When a documentary director with such an aura as Yan Dong takes over the "Veteran" project, he will only treat it more seriously and cautiously.

I look forward to the release of another popular work.

The two chatted happily.

Two outstanding directors, Li Dongkun and Ji Dan, also expressed their willingness to join the "Veteran" team at the invitation of Holly.

This matter finally comes to light.

Holly felt relieved.

You must do what you have promised and what you have said in public.

Live up to your heart.

Live up to the expectations of netizens.

……

On the afternoon before the National Day, my daughter-in-law Song Wennuan was on vacation. She went to the villa to see Xiao Hui and saw Zhong Yiwen packing Holly's luggage. She went up to help, "Sister Wen, let me do it. I'm the best at these things."

Zhong Yiwen smiled and handed the matter over to her. If it was a work matter, she and Zuo Yingying were Holly's right-hand assistants, but Zuo Yingying only came forward to solve big things, such as financing, corporate planning and management... these things.

There is a big gap between her and Zuo Yingying in this aspect. She only helps with small things at work, helping coordinate relations between various parties, running errands... and the like.

In life, especially in terms of food, accommodation and transportation, Song Wennan understands Holly best.

Zhong Yiwen deliberately teased Song Nuannuan, "Why don't you ask Mr. Huo where you are going this time?"

"Hainan." Song Wenwen said.

Zhong Yiwen was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Wenwen in surprise.

"Sister Wen, I would know even if she didn't tell her."

Zhong Yiwen said: "Aren't you sad anymore?"

"What's the use of being sad?" Song Wenwen curled her lips and said, "I love him but I can't restrain him, so what can I do?
Instead of spending time thinking about him and others, it is better to spend more time enriching yourself and making yourself better.

Sister Wen is right, rich men like to fool around, but the flowers and plants outside are just passing by, and he always has to go home.

I can just wait for him at home. "

Zhong Yiwen smiled and hugged Song Nuannuan, "Wen Nuan is mature."

If Song Wennan always had this mentality, maybe they could live under the same roof and serve Holly together.

"Sister Wen is right, women must learn to think openly." Song Wenwen smiled.

"What are you thinking about?"

The two were chatting when Holly walked into the house with a smile.

"Husband!" Song Nuannuan ran over and hugged Holly.

"Have a holiday?" Holly asked concerned.

Song Nuannuan nodded.

"Will you accompany me on National Day vacation?"

"I have to go back to see grandpa. I can't accompany you, so you can have fun by yourself." Song Wenwen said.

She also didn't want to watch other women having sex with Holly in front of her, out of sight and out of mind.

I’ll go home and see how the house is being repaired. I’ll spend a few more days with my grandpa. Then I’ll go check out my supermarket when I get back. I’ve already made arrangements for the National Day holiday.

Holly kissed her and said, "Say hello to grandpa, uncles and aunts for me."

"Well, dad is killing a cow at home during the National Day, and I'll bring you crispy beef jerky to drink with." Song Wenwen said.

Holly smiled and said, "Remember to give me money. It's quite hard for uncle to raise cattle."

"I know." Song Nuannuan nodded.

Holly looked at Zhong Yiwen, "Sister Wen, are you with me?"

Zhong Yiwen said: "The store in Chengdu will open on National Day. I will fly over in a few days and fly over in a few days. If you need anything, call me." (End of Chapter)
