tearjerker director

Chapter 304 Killing multiple birds with one stone, as witty as I am (seeking a monthly ticket)

"You need to find an experienced assistant director who has experience in this kind of film to help you. Of course, if you don't have suitable candidates, I can recommend two for you." Zhao Guangming said with a smile.

"Even if Director Zhao doesn't say it, I think so too." Li Yi said with a sigh of relief.

Because he also knew that it would be very difficult for Zhuo Yixiong to be competent for the job if he made "The Garland Under the Mountain".

Moreover, Li Yi not only needs to find an experienced assistant director, but also needs the help of the army.

"Also, is it possible to finish this film with quality and quantity before the National Day this year?" Zhao Guangming asked suddenly.

However, Li Yi asked suspiciously: "Director Zhao, does Huaying have no plans to present a gift film this year?"

This time it was Zhao Guangming's turn to smile bitterly and said, "Why not? In fact, this year's National Day file can be called the main theme movie gathering. Speaking of this, it is very different from your previous "Things About That Rabbit That Year" The big relationship, that animation, let many people see the market prospect of the main theme movie. This is a good thing, but it is not a good thing either!"

"How did you say that?" Li Yi couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Zhao Guangming sighed and said: "Although some people think that the main theme movie market has a bright future, but you also know the current situation of the main theme movie, so most of them hold the idea of ​​whether there is a date or not, and it is more about testing the waters. And almost all of them are the main theme movies that imitate the Hollywood model. It's not that it's not good, but most of them are not anti-dogs. In fact, your "Garland under the Mountain" can pass so quickly in terms of subject matter and content. I would like to thank these people.”

"Because the story structure and character design of "The Garland Under the Mountain" are very characteristic of Huaguo, everyone has high expectations for this film, and hopes to find a way of a main theme movie with Huaguo characteristics. For this reason, Do you understand why I asked you if you could finish this film before the National Day this year?"

Li Yi couldn't help but double the pressure.

He understood what Zhao Guangming meant, and he wanted to take this "Greath under the Mountain" as a model.

No wonder I have concerns because I am too young.

"If you can get the full support of Huaying, especially the support of the army, then there should be no problem." Li Yi thought for a while and said.

In fact, "A Garland Under the Mountain" is quite different from many war films.

Because this movie doesn't have any big scenes, but starts from a small point. Looking at the whole movie, the difficulty of shooting is really not that high.

The real trouble is Fuhuadao, and if there is support from Huaying and the army in this regard, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

"By the way, don't you have a co-production film you want to make? It's also scheduled to be released on Qixi Festival. How do you solve this problem?" Zhao Guangming asked again.

"This problem is easy to handle. In fact, "A Story More Sad than Sad", to put it bluntly, is a low-cost romance film. At that time, I only need to make a script for the shots, find a few more assistant directors, and let them follow the script. Just shoot according to my request, don't delay!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Can this work? Don't spoil the reputation you earned so hard." Zhao Guangming asked.

"It can be done. In fact, this time, Peninsula Films has brought over two assistant directors. They are both directors who will direct the localization of my films in the future. They must be not bad. On the Peninsula Films, In fact, the screenwriter-centered system is very popular, so there is really no need to worry about their poor filming." Li Yi said with a smile.

He really wasn't talking nonsense.

It's the fact that on the peninsula, the status of screenwriters is much higher than that in the mainland and even Hollywood.

Many of their TV series, movies, and screenwriting powers are scary.

Even above the director.

On the other side of the peninsula, the hierarchy is extremely strict.

An assistant director who writes a screenplay for a top director like Li Yi will never have any resistance as a tool director, and may even thank Li Yi for giving them a chance.

Since "A Story More Sad Than Sadness" is a co-production, it must look like a co-production. The leading party must be Li Yi. Of course, as a co-production, it is impossible to have an all-Chinese lineup, so the male and female protagonists on the peninsula side There must be one, and finally Li Yi decided on the heroine after thinking about it, and it is conceivable that to star in Li Yi's movie, the peninsula must have a group of top movie stars to be eligible.

Of course, if Li Yi has other preferences, it's another matter.

In fact, to be honest, Li Yi didn't care that much about this movie.

Although it is said that Li Yi's movies are more "copying", but if there are more "copying", the level will naturally rise.

So, he suddenly felt that making this kind of movie was not so challenging.

Especially now that he still has the more challenging "Wreath under the Mountain" to shoot.

What he said in front of Zhao Guangming before was indeed what he had thought about before, but the difference was that he just wanted to relax a bit before, but he didn't say that he wanted to give up the pick, but now he felt that he could be bolder.

Director Mu directed "Get Out!""Mr. Tumor" made him think, in fact, it is possible to use this kind of film to train a few young directors, and then he will be relaxed, but he will get a good reputation of supporting the younger generation, and he can train new directors for the company. what!

Therefore, Li Yi selected a female director named Zhang Ranran from the young directors of the "Hong Kong Island Film and Television Newcomer Support Program" this time, and went to the Beijing Film Academy to ask Li Mingshan's mentor to pick a fresh graduate from the director department. Graduate student Luo Xiaobing joined his crew.

Then two assistant directors, Ahn Jae-wook and Jeon Bora, came over from the peninsula, a man and a woman.

As a result, a "sadder than sad", good guy, directly has five assistant directors.

They are the butler Zhuo Yixiong, the young Hong Kong director Zhang Ranran, the younger brother Luo Xiaobing from the Beijing Film Academy, and An Jae-wook and Quan Bora who were brought in by Peninsula Pictures.

Among them, Zhuo Yixiong doesn't need to say more, Li Yi's right-hand men, Zhang Ranran and Luo Xiaobing, signed a director contract with Li Yi's company before joining the crew, so they can be regarded as their own.

As for Ahn Jae-wook and Jeon Bo-ra, the two directors brought in by Peninsula Films, they are both key directors trained by Peninsula Films. In the future, they will direct the local versions of "Daughter's Wedding Dress" and "The Gift of Room No. [-]" respectively. .

Therefore, Li Yi is quite satisfied.Because obviously, these two can be selected by Peninsula Films as the directors of those two films, so they should have something in their hands to be thrust in as their assistant directors.

Coupled with Zhuo Yixiong watching, Li Yi was happy and relaxed.

As for whether Peninsula Films would feel that Li Yihuang ordered it?

Really not, as I said before, in the peninsula, the screenwriter has a high status, the script is given by Li Yi, and even the scene script is made by Li Yi.

What else could they be dissatisfied with?
