Chapter 541 The Trend Sweeping the Awards Season
During this period of time, there has also been a lot of news about this tribute film, which has been gathered to Zhou Le through various channels.

He was well aware that his seniority made this a little complicated.

If it's acting, with what I've achieved so far, the question of qualifications doesn't exist at all. Even if Brother Cheng Long comes to help me for a while, the other party only has the willingness or not, and will not think that I am not qualified.

But when the director, especially the chief director and producer of a large-scale theme movie, besides the nominal chief producer, he is actually the top leader of the crew.It is also necessary to invite multiple directors to direct their own segmented stories with a segmented plot. Obviously, their own qualifications are not enough, and they will not be truly recognized by everyone.

Because of Huang Bo and others, Zhou Le met directors Ning Hao and Xu Shanzheng, and they both talked and drank. When he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, these two directors also Send a message of congratulations.

Of course, after the two films "The Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior", he and Wu Jing have been more or less jealous of some colleagues. some.

After Zhou Le successively received 2000 million salary in Hollywood and successfully became the number one male in several big productions, the jealousy and alienation disappeared, and the past relationship was reconnected.

Zhou Le contacted these two in advance when he returned to China, and then several directors who confirmed to direct also contacted them.He also knew that it had been rumored that Lao Mouzi would be the chief director. With his qualifications, of course there would be no problem. Later, it was rumored that the more reliable director was the director of Kaige. In the end, he chose himself, which was beyond many people's expectations. In addition, the above will not explain to everyone why they do this. This is a task and a task that must be completed.

The incomprehension of these big directors and the grievances that slowly spread fell on Zhou Le.

Knowing that he was busy, I didn't intend to go to LA to meet him. I just waited for him to invite him when he came back. This was the first group meeting of several directors of this film.

The above is from a limited category. Several special time nodes must be representative and resonate with the audience. A total of more than a dozen options are given. According to the timeline, the directors can choose. If you It’s okay if you have your own ideas, just bring up your ideas and the script of the segmented plot, and you can shoot after the review is passed.

To give people to people, places to places, support to support, and what to give, that is, the funds must be controlled within the corresponding range. This type of film has always been controlled at the level of filming funds.

Fortunately, similar films basically don’t need a paycheck. Even if it’s not a cameo with a celebrity face, there are a lot of roles. When I see the type of this film, I will only charge a little money. I really want to lick my face. Ask for it, maybe you will give it to me. After you give it, you will be considered useless, and you will completely disappear from the public eye for a long time in the future.

Finalize the subject of the shooting, and summarize your own ideas. Before the directors start to play their own strengths, everything must be finalized in advance, so that you can apply for review, and then provide you with sufficient supporting services in all aspects, such as Regarding the theme of the founding ceremony, you not only need to use the precious images from the past, but also use some real venues accordingly. Without official support, it is not something you can get with a lot of money.

It is suitable to hold such a meeting before the year, and old friends also have a chance to get together without delaying the New Year, and they can also brainstorm in many ways.

So Zhou Le chose this time slot. Although the people who greeted him were enthusiastic, they actually sat in the conference room. When everyone started discussing, the scene directly entered the cold stage.

As the chief director, Zhou Le got the support of Han Sanye and others, but he didn't use his power to overwhelm others, and he didn't ask his superiors to organize and arrange seminars. , in the small conference room of One Plus One's Yanjing headquarters, the company secretary made sufficient preparations, and the personal preferences of these directors were also taken into account accordingly.

Who is willing to drink tea, who is willing to drink coffee, and who will bring a few assistants to arrange the waiting time for these people. It can be said that Zhou Le is completely the attitude of a junior this time. Give the other party enough praise. When it came time to talk about business, everyone was silent, obviously waiting for Zhou Le to speak first. You are the chief director, of course you should speak first. As for whether it is embarrassing or setting the tone, that depends on your own level , We are all your subordinates, and we have to listen to your orders at any time. At this time, it is not important to listen to our ideas, or the ideas of you, the chief director, are the most important.

The scene is very embarrassing, it's okay if you are not familiar with it or you can clearly contradict it, it's embarrassing anyway, you, the chief director, are more embarrassing than us.

Usually, I can still exchange pleasantries and share a common circle of friends, but at this time...

Director Wen is a young man, and among these directors, his qualifications are similar to those of Zhou Le. He thought about it, but he didn't say anything. No matter what he said, he would inevitably get a young and not stable image, which was tantamount to a little offence. After looking at the seniors, they sighed secretly and took a look at Zhou Le. It might be the result of being young and in a high position, right?
You need to show everyone the value of your existence and your strength, not to convince them, but at least let them know why you are the chief director.

Zhou Le has to say what he says, and he has to say what he doesn't say. This meeting was called by him. Could it be that since everyone is silent, the meeting will end?

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a free and easy look on the corners of his eyes and brows, he went straight to the point: "I know what everyone is thinking, but since I have agreed to take up this burden, I have nothing to say. Everyone chooses a theme, The screenwriter team will cooperate with all of you. At the meeting in three days, I want everyone to have a clear shooting direction and a general direction of the story. After a year, I will see the finished script, the list of required actors, and the venue used. The time is not too bad Yes, a person’s story is divided into sections, 10 minutes, and the upper and lower deviations are within 1 minute. I chose a segmented plot at the beginning, and chose multiple directors to direct them separately, just to see the big from the small with different styles."

Zhou Le stood up, walked to the front of the whiteboard, and used a black marker to write four large characters—see the big from the small.

"For a big historical event, I don't want you to retell the event itself. I want to reflect the whole big event from the perspective of small people and small events. Emotions, perspectives, completeness of the story, performance space of the actors, I want it all. You are all mine. Senior, if there are any mistakes or omissions, please fill in the gaps for me, do you have any questions?"

Yes or no, I’m here, so I’ll write in big letters, adults do big things, you can follow my strategic thinking, how to fight each battle, and come up with a plan when you go back Give it to me, agree to it, pass it, let's work together to do it well.

Several people looked at Zhou Le with deep meaning. Facing his rhetorical question, they all nodded politely. They did not question his arrangement and gave him the recognition of the power of the chief director. I am not afraid that he will screw up. Really There is a problem with the strategic plan, and the higher-ups can't pass the review.

"I prefer the story of the women's volleyball team winning the championship. I will think about it when I go back. There are some things in my mind that I can't explain or explain clearly. I have to figure it out in the past two days." Xu Shanzheng is still very face-saving, and made the first A man who speaks.

"I like the Olympics, but let me tell you first. Since the big is based on the small, I want to shoot small people. I want Uncle Ge. If he comes, I can come up with the script." Ning Hao could see that he had an idea long ago. Facing the representative of the treasure-level Chinese Mesozoic comedians, he had long thought of collaborating once, and now he is given a 100% chance to succeed. Of course, he must call the name directly, so as not to be snatched away by others.

Ning Hao has used Huang Bo more than once as an actor who is good at playing small characters. Now he is most interested in and finds it hard to find. The country has given such a platform, so he directly named Uncle Ge and wanted to be a small director. dream come true.

"I need some time here." Director Wen also responded. This director, who became popular by virtue of his cooperation with Xu Shan, is also from the Northeast just like Zhou Le. He had no intention of speaking when he was the first to speak. Keep silent.

Several other people also chatted briefly. The first meeting seemed to be harmonious, but after the meeting, the hot pot restaurant that Zhou Le had ordered in advance did not work, so he could know everyone's true emotions.

As soon as the meeting here started, Sanye Han got the news. He also communicated with several counterparts who wanted to support this movie. Zhou Le didn't look for him, and he didn't take the initiative to solicit the matter. The young man It is certain that people have their own ideas. Since he wants to do it himself, giving him absolute respect is also a kind of support for his status as the chief director.

The meeting was canceled three days later, and everyone chose the theme and then made the script. If there is any ambiguity, choose two themes and come up with a direction to discuss. Zhou Leren went back to the United States directly. The Hollywood awards season has not appeared since the beginning of the awards season. This year is different. As the leading actor in "Joker", he has attended all the awards since the first important award. However, the clown he played has swept away all the leading actors in the movie category. Sweeping the entire awards season.

There is competition, but no rivals.

Some people say that last year was a small year, but this has nothing to do with the clown played by Zhou Le. Many film critics and industry insiders have said that even in the super competitive year with bright stars, this clown is definitely a performance The awards are very popular. Looking at the best actor nominations in the past 20 years and judging together, the clown is definitely on the list of nominees. Whether he can win the award or not, horizontal and vertical comparisons require all aspects of operation. By that time, Hollywood will be the most The 'notorious' lobbying system will play an important role.

Having just won the New York Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor, Zhou Le was on the plane flying back to LA, communicating with several directors online with a slow but usable working method.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhou Le got angry after being dismounted, and directly countered the dismounting, and flew back to the United States without giving face to the seniors. It was no longer a discussion but a youthful and direct order.

In fact, this is not the case at all. Zhou Le himself didn't think that way, and he didn't want the directors to think that way. Seven people joined a WeChat group, and they also had friends with each other. He didn't explain his behavior too much, just After returning, they began to communicate and discuss on the Internet.

Once started, everyone found that this method is actually very good, better than video conferencing, everyone does not have to face to face, just voice and text, only a few times need video connection for discussion.

There is no need for eye contact, the uncomfortable feeling in my heart that young people are not qualified enough to blindly direct and still stand on top of my head has faded a lot, and Zhou Le, as a junior, did not hold the identity of the chief director, so he took the initiative to take the lead. Talk about your thoughts with everyone.

He wanted to choose the big earthquake in [-], but the story was presented ten years later, basically the last story of the entire film.

He first threw out his own ideas, without asking everyone how the script was prepared. The beginning of the discussion was to set sail while everyone enriched and adjusted his ideas.

"I have seen such a story before. During an earthquake, a soldier who had just joined the army rescued a little girl in the ruins. At that time, the soldier was injured in order to save the girl. To a certain extent, it was a little disfigured. The girl said, You are here to save me from getting hurt, ten years later, I will marry you, and you will marry me."

"Ten years passed quickly. The girl graduated from university and just got an offer from a Fortune [-] company. She was very excited to send a message to the soldier who saved her. During the ten years, the two have always been in touch. , Soldiers have always been helping girls who lost their loved ones in disasters, the so-called promise back then was just a joke in the eyes of anyone, but it was always in the girl's heart."

"I wanted to dramatize the story and intersperse some memories of the earthquake disaster."

"A 13-year-old girl is in love for the first time. In desperation, in an environment where her parents are no longer there, when she is pulled away from the ruins, the first ray of light shines in, piercing her eyes. She heard the sound first. Don't be afraid. We are here to save you, the first time I saw the face with the wound still bleeding, at that moment, he was her everything, he was her hope, and he gave her a new life."

"Ten years is not a blurt, but a promise. During these ten years, the girl has gradually grown up. She is a volunteer. She also participated in the rescue of others. She has always been in touch with him. She knows that sentence Words are no longer simple promises, but love conceived in ten years, and the sunshine of life brought by the hope of life. When the voice and sunshine come, for the girl who has been buried in the ground for two days, the world is full of joy. The most beautiful thing is this moment, the smile at that time was involuntary, and the beauty of a second after experiencing the most tragic tragedy in life, he was there, and he brought it."
