Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 132 132. Hot Potato
At this time, several people walked in at the door. The middle-aged man in the lead smiled and said: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come. I am Huang Rui, deputy director of the Ministry of Culture."

Then Huang Rui pointed to a policeman in police uniform behind him and introduced: "This is Zhou Yeli, the chief of the municipal police station."

Everyone present stood up and greeted each other.

After sitting down, Huang Rui asked someone to place a stack of documents in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone here is a senior talent in the film industry. I will make a long story short. The main reason for inviting you here is to respond to the country's call for main theme movies. .”

"Our Ministry of Culture has decided to take the lead in filming a batch of outstanding theme movies. Of course, when it comes to theme movies, you must be more familiar with them than me. Rigidity and dogma are relatively negative labels."

Huang Rui said mockingly, which made the directors present feel the same.

It is true that there are some main themes to be filmed every year, but many times everyone just regards it as a task and shoots according to the template. Although it is not perfunctory, it also lacks new ideas.

Huang Rui said with a smile: "But with the development of the times and the film market gradually maturing, I think it is time to do some exploration of the main theme film, which is more market-oriented and younger. Therefore, although our Cultural Affairs Bureau takes the lead, we have decided to give maximum support The director’s rights allow you to do whatever you want.”

"Of course, we still need to have correct value guidance and spread positive energy. At present, we have tentatively decided to make two movies. We can start from all walks of life in our Xia Kingdom, or we can dig out from history."

Next to him, Director Zhou Yeli said with a serious smile: "One of the films we hope to shoot is a police-themed film. The requirements are not high. If there are any needs, our police will fully cooperate, but there must be one thing, that is, evil cannot prevail against good."

Huang Rui nodded and continued: "The filming time will be two months. We plan to release it during the Spring Festival. Of course, your schedule must be met first."

After the request was made, everyone present was silent for a while.

To be honest, the Spring Festival is a very important period, and it is also the busiest holiday all year round. Every director hopes to release his best show during this period.

I would be somewhat reluctant to use it to shoot a main theme movie.

And although I have said that I want to change, I don’t know how far I can achieve it, but I am afraid that it will be thankless by then.

So after hearing that there was no need to force it, Sun Xixia, a great director of literary and artistic films, said: "I really want to shoot it, but now I'm already working on one, and I really can't spare the time."

"Yes, it would have been better if I had mentioned it earlier."

"Our company does have directors, but I'm worried that they can't direct the main theme well."

"."

Everyone was stunned but no one agreed.

Huang Rui was also a little nervous. He knew that this was a hard job, so in order for the task to be completed smoothly, he also said that he would not interfere or follow the previous path. Unexpectedly, he still refused to accept it.

At this time, Hong Kong director Su Jinwen raised his hand and said: "I have no problem. I personally have experience in war-type films, so I will start from this area."

Others frowned and said nothing.

Tao Zhuangbao was disdainful. He knew what the Hong Kong director was thinking. He just came here to develop and needed some opportunities to establish himself and show his face.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to film the main theme. Even if the reputation is average, the box office will still be lost to grandma's house. Who would do such a thing?

Zhou Yeli said: "The part about the police."

People from other entertainment companies also sat there with their noses and noses in mind.

The police are even more difficult. Although they can start with all kinds of strange cases, the audience's inherent cognition is limited and difficult to break.

This is a hot potato.

Chen Li felt funny when he saw this scene. He raised his hand and said: "In that case, you don't have a choice, then leave the police to me." Chen Li's words made Huang Rui and Zhou Yeli, who were a little anxious, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. .

Although in their eyes Chen Li was young and out of tune with everyone present, when it came to his professional abilities, no one could question him, which was why he was invited.

"That's great. Director Su Jinwen and director Chen Li, these two movies will be left to you. Whether it's a war movie that needs help from the military, or a police movie that needs help from the police, everything is easy to say, and we will definitely do our best to help. "

"As for financial investment, we will also take the lead. Just rest assured and make the movie."

The fact that there is no need to worry about funds is definitely a very favorable condition for many directors. With the green lights from all aspects, the filming will go more smoothly!

Su Jinwen was secretly excited. He had just moved north to develop his career, and he must make a good name for himself through this movie!
Chen Li smiled and said: "I don't need any funds. I'm used to investing in my own filming."

Hearing Chen Li's refusal, Huang Rui smiled and said, "No problem."

The four shook hands with each other and reached cooperation.

Others present secretly found it funny that a director who had just moved north and didn't understand the market here, and a newcomer who had just entered the industry and didn't know the twists and turns, just accepted two movies with the main theme.

Shoot it, shoot it, it will make you cry when it is released.

After the meeting, everyone left. Su Jinwen and Chen Li walked behind to get to know each other.

Although Su Jinwen was only in his 40s, half of his hair was gray. He smiled heartily and said: "Director Chen, I have always heard of your name in Hong Kong, Cannes, and the Avenue of Stars. You are really young and promising. ah."

Chen Li said modestly: "Director Su is not bad. Speaking of which, I grew up watching your movies. "Operation Blade" and "Bullet" are also popular movies and are very popular here."

Chen Li didn't lie. These were movies that his original owner had watched many times.

Su Jinwen also felt a little emotional when he heard about these two movies: "Hey, it's a pity that the market on Hong Kong Island is too small, and some scenes and ideas cannot be realized. I hope I can have more fun filming this time."

After the two chatted for a few words, they separated.

When Chen Li returned to the studio, he held a meeting with people from the artist department.

After everyone arrived, he explained his next plan: "So, the next movie will be a police movie with the main theme. Which of you is free?"

Of course, priority should be given to our own artists for this kind of thing!

However, although the artist department is his department, he doesn't care about it as a whole, so it's unclear whether these people have taken on other projects.

After asking this question, Wang Li came out to report: "Boss, Cao Lei and Yang Xiaoxiao have been talking about a TV series recently, and they are almost ready to join the cast. Liu Wanxin has several ancient puppets coming to her to star, but she is still hesitant."

Chen Li looked at Liu Wanxin and smiled and said: "Stop being an ancient puppet. I never had the opportunity to let you participate in Hollywood before. You can be the heroine in this movie. Although you don't have many roles, I will definitely give you one next time." Movies with big heroines.”

Liu Wanxin smiled and said, "Okay."

Cao Hong and Yang Xiaoxiao immediately regretted it. Although it was the main theme, Chen Lipai's main theme was definitely unusual!
"Boss! We want it too!"

"Yes, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have accepted the TV series. Can Sister Wang quit?"

Wang Li rolled her eyes: "You think this is a vegetable market to buy food, and you want to return it!?"
