Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 64: How to Provoke Generals (please read it)
If you want to make an emperor drama, it must be those that the audience is familiar with.

In fact, it can be said in one sentence.

Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu.

Among these four, Song Ancestor passes.

It's not that he has no merit. Ending the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and changing the situation of arrogant soldiers can be considered a credit, but what can he take pictures of?

Wear some clothes when it's cold, bully orphans and widowed mothers, or is it the sound of candle shadow and axe?

It’s easy for everyone to feel frustrated watching it.

Among the remaining three, Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is the most popular about Qin Huang. If it is filmed again, it will easily be criticized together.

The evaluation of the First Emperor at this stage is not very good either.

Two years later, wouldn’t “Hero” still be criticized as a tyrant whitewash?
And when photographing him, it’s best to start with Shang Yang’s reform.

The cycle will be long.

After much thought, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

It just so happens that Daystar has also collaborated with Chen Baoguo.

We can all work together again.

Of course, for this kind of drama, the director can't hire a newbie.

You need to find someone with experience.

The original director of "Emperor of Hanwu" in his previous life was quite good.

Due to limited funding issues, the war scenes are not very good.

But in other aspects the film is quite good and can really be called a classic.

……

If you don't check specifically, I'm afraid not many people will think that "Emperor of Hanwu" was made by a female director.

Hu Mei.

Like Li Shaohong and Chen Kai, they were all seniors who entered Nortel in 78.

In addition, he has just produced the popular drama "Yongzheng Dynasty".

There is no shortage of jobs at all.

It would be inappropriate to make a phone call or ask the company to contact you.

Gu Ming left the company directly and came to Gu Changwei's house.

It was Jiang Wenli who opened the door.

"Is Lao Gu here?"

"Here he is, in the study. I'm worrying about which novel to adapt. I have difficulty choosing. You sit down first and I'll call him."

"no need."

"I'll just go to the study and talk to him."

Gu Ming came to the study and took a chair to sit next to Gu Changwei who was reading.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, what do you want from me?"

Gu Changwei was in a bad mood.

I have always thought about making movies.

Now I can take pictures, but I don’t know what to take.

With his status among photographers and within the industry, the first film of his transformation must not be a bad one.

Otherwise, there would be no need for others to laugh at me, and I would be too embarrassed to go out and meet people.

With this kind of psychological pressure, the more he chose, the less he knew what to shoot.

Write it yourself?

I don’t have that confidence!
He graduated from the Department of Photography.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if you graduated from the directing department, Brother Chen Kai’s story is also a mess.

"Lao Gu, I'm here to help you." Gu Ming came here and said with a smile, "Don't know what to shoot? I can provide you with a story. Is there a big prize?" I dare say that the probability of winning the prize is quite high.”

"what story?"

"This……"

"I'm embarrassed to give it for free, but you're embarrassed to take it for free, right?" Gu Ming said with a smile.

"what do you want?"

"Do me two favors."

"Tell a story." Gu Changwei still admired Gu Ming's screenwriting ability.

As for his judgment in winning awards, he couldn't help but admire him.

Two of Europe's top three towers are placed there.

"You promised?"

"No problem. If you tell this story, I think it's good. Don't say two favors, twenty favors are not impossible."

"It's a story about a woman on the grassland. Her husband is disabled. It's hard for her to support the family alone. She takes her husband on a blind date. What a selling point! I've already thought of the main character for you, and it's a direct collaboration between husband and wife!" It saves you and the heroine reading the script in the car.

Of the prairie.

Cold and panic.

"What a good story!" After all, he has worked with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kai, brother Jiang Wen and others.

He still has some judgment about whether a film can win an award.

I only heard a few dozen words.

Gu Changwei became excited.

“This story would be best if it had a few more winter scenes, it would really suit Berlin’s taste.”

"Show me the complete script."

"Ahem..." Gu Ming looked around and said it.

"Tell me what you want. What do you want from me?"

"Two things. First, let's make the next movie. It's a bit difficult. I need a very powerful photographer. You may not be able to do it."

"You have been in this business for so many years, can you recommend one to me?"

"I'm stupid..." Gu Changwei's national quintessence came out.

Although he knew that Gu Ming was a provocateur.

But he felt insulted.

"Tell me how long the filming will take. As long as the filming can be completed before September and it doesn't delay me from filming the story you told me, I will be your photographer."

"No, you may not be able to do this Lao Gu."

"That's all right. If you don't keep using the method of provoking generals, aren't you afraid that I will quit?"

"Hahaha."

"Then you may have to practice from now on. I will ask Cao Yu from our company to help you. I will write a script for you. You will start practicing with him right away. I will integrate handheld photography into the action movie."

"Find two martial arts instructors and let them fight. You guys think about it first and get a feel for it."

"Silk……"

Gu Changwei only felt that he had been hasty. This was really difficult.

Carrying such a heavy camera to shoot an action movie.

This kid really dared to think.

But he agreed just now, so he can't give in.

He nodded in agreement, and then said impatiently, "Let's make another request together. I'm afraid you will ask me difficult questions then."

"Do you know Director Hu Mei?"

"What do you think?" Gu Changwei laughed helplessly, "Are you using the provoking skills smoothly?"

"We are both from the 78th grade. Although she is from the directing department and I am from the photography department, how old is Nortel? You are from Nortel, don't you know that?"

"Tell me, what's the matter? Do you want to film a TV series with her?"

"The one who knows me is Lao Gu!"

"I'm going to have a dinner with her tonight. You can talk to her. You don't have to worry about the script. You have to make a masterpiece. You still have to prepare for your next film. There's no point in getting the script within a few months."

"Okay, I promise to give you a surprise."

"Explain, explain, what is a surprise?" Gu Changwei said speechlessly.

“A surprise is a surprise.”

……

That night.

Gu Ming waited for Hu Mei in front of a star-rated hotel.

A middle-aged woman in her 40s wearing black-rimmed glasses and short hair.

"Old Hu!"

"Lao Gu, Director Gu, I've seen your movie and it's really good."

"You're welcome. I've watched Director Hu's drama many times."

Gu Ming and Hu Mei shook hands.

Then he was taken to the private room.

Because there was Gu Changwei as a bridge here, before he started eating, Gu Ming told her what he wanted to do in the chat, "My company wants to make a high-quality drama about the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"

"After much thought, no one is suitable to be the director of this drama except you, senior sister."

"Hanwu!"

Hu Mei smiled and did not directly agree whether to take the photo or not.

Instead, he chatted with Gu Ming about his views on Hanwu.

　Big guys, tomorrow is a matter of life and death. Please don’t support me. Please read it. Please read it.
