The leisurely life of the rich start

"Okay, in the second half of the year, you will be in charge of filming a self-produced drama! If you find any good script, you can report it to director Xu Lin." Zhang Da said, "Director Chen, you and the director of a literary film in my impression , it seems different?"

"Mr. Zhang, in fact, I can't be regarded as a traditional literary film director. In fact, I personally like commercial films." Chen Kaiqi explained, "I also like to watch many large-scale commercial films and popcorn movies with first-class special effects!

In my opinion, literary films and commercial films are just forms of expression of films, the important thing is that the director's thoughts can be reflected in the film!

Just like "Let the Bullets Fly", you can say that it is a literary film, but there is no lack of commercial elements in the film, and there was no shortage of money when it was announced.But if you only regard "Let the Bullets Fly" as a purely commercial film, there are many thought-provoking places in the film.

My ideal is to be able to earn money standing up like Teacher Jiang Wen! "

"Director Chen, I have a question." After hearing Chen Kaiqi's words, Xu Lin asked, "The few films you made before were all pure literary films. This seems to be inconsistent with your goal?"

"Well, there is only one teacher Jiang Wen in Huaguo after all." Chen Kaiqi said frankly, "With my current ability, I am not enough to take into account the commercial elements and ideas of movies at the same time. Prefer traditional literary films.

I will not hide from you two that the reason why I direct some commercial TV dramas is to make money to make a living and raise the budget for filming is just one of the purposes.

The main purpose is to accumulate experience in shooting commercial films, and try to combine literary and commercial films in the future to make money standing up! "

"Okay, then keep working hard towards your goal!" Zhang Da laughed, "But...I don't want you to become the second Jiang Wen in China, but to become the first Chen Kaiqi in China! "

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!" Chen Kaiqi stood up excitedly from his seat, "I will work hard!"

"I'm waiting for your good news." Zhang Da smiled and motioned Chen Kaiqi to sit down, "Director Chen, I also want to ask you, do you have any experience in shooting documentaries?"

"Mr. Zhang, documentaries are not my style." Chen Kaiqi said, "However, I have a director friend who is also a college classmate of mine when I was studying drama, and he shoots documentaries full-time.

He previously worked in the documentary team of the CCTV History Channel, but now he is independent and has opened his own studio.

If you are interested, I will ask him to send you some of his works. If you are satisfied, it will not be too late to discuss cooperation. "

"Okay, please send me some of his works first." Zhang Da nodded and said, "What I want to shoot this time is a documentary about the salvage of treasures from sunken ships."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll send it to you when I get back!" Chen Kaiqi said, "My college classmate is named Chen Long, and he is an ear Chen like me."

Zhang Da smiled in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this time another director with a name similar to Jack Cheng came.

He asked: "Director Chen Long, like you, uses his real name to work in the director circle, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Chen Kaiqi laughed. "To be honest, audiences usually don't pay attention to the director's name when they watch documentaries, so he has never thought of using a stage name."

"Haha, no wonder you two became friends." Zhang Da said, "Well, let me take a look at his works first, and if they are suitable, please introduce me to Director Chen Long."

Chen Kaiqi leaned forward and said, "So it's what you want."

...

After dinner, Zhang Da "squatted" into the audio-visual room again.

Director Chen Long's works are mainly historical documentaries, which is exactly what Zhang Da wanted.

After all, the treasures he unearthed came from the Harold dynasty in the country.

It couldn't be more suitable for a director who specializes in historical documentaries to direct this shipwreck documentary!

Therefore, Zhang Da decisively sent an invitation to Chen Long through Chen Kaiqi.

At noon the next day, he saw Chen Long.

"Hi, Mr. Zhang, I'm Chen Long!" The tall, bespectacled documentary director said to Zhang Da, "I usually work in Shanghai, but this time I received your invitation and came here by high-speed train."

"Hello, Director Chen Long, thank you for coming!" Zhang Da said straight to the point, "My fleet salvaged a batch of shipwreck treasures from the Harold Dynasty in the high seas. Documentary. You are an expert in historical documentaries, so I want to give this documentary to you."

"I am very happy to cooperate with you." Chen Long said, "I don't know if I need to go out to sea with the salvage team to shoot, or do you have ready-made videos here for me to edit?"

"The salvage operation has ended, and the salvage team has recorded the salvage process with a camera." Zhang Da said, "However, most of the treasure chests have not yet been opened, and the identification of the contents in the treasure chests has not yet been carried out.

The fleet has started to return today and is expected to arrive in Jinling in 20 days.

I hope you can combine the previous materials and the process of appreciating treasures after the fleet returns to China to complete a documentary on the theme of sunken treasures. "

"I understand!" Chen Long thought for a while and said, "I am willing to take this job! Mr. Zhang, for the sake of the integrity of the documentary and the smoothness of transitions, I hope that the fleet will take more shots during the return voyage. Some of the daily life of the fleet, as well as shots of the seascape during the voyage.

After returning to China, I also want to interview the members of the fleet. "

"No problem, I will pass on your request to them." Zhang Da nodded and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation. Director Xu Lin of the film and television company will discuss the details of the cooperation with you later."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang, happy cooperation!"

Chapter 465 Appreciation

23 days later, Zhang Da's fleet returned to Jinling safely.

Zhang Da personally took Chen Long and his filming team to the pier to meet the returning fleet.

After landing, Zhang Lifeng quietly said to Zhang Da:

"Mr. Zhang, we encountered bad weather in the Strait of Malacca and were forced to rest at the local port for two and a half days, which delayed our voyage."

"It's okay, as long as you come back safely!" Zhang Da laughed, "After the welcome banquet, go home and rest for a while. I will give you an extra bonus based on the total valuation of these treasures."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Lifeng leaned forward, "Mr. Zhang, we have accumulated a lot of experience in ocean voyages this time. In the future, as long as you need it, we can go to sea again at any time!"

Zhang Da smiled and nodded: "Okay."

More than half an hour later, five buses drove all the crew to Mingda Plaza.

Zhang Da held the reception banquet at noon today at Xinrongji restaurant.

Another convoy, loaded with all the treasures, drove to a warehouse of Mingda Group.

Chen Long also took his photography team and followed the convoy to the warehouse.

They have to film the entire process of transporting the treasure.

At the end of the banquet, Wei Ziming approached Zhang Da:

"Mr. Zhang, thank you! The accountant told me just now that the final payment for this salvage operation has been fully credited to the account, and you also gave us an additional bonus!"

Zhang Da said with a smile: "You're welcome, this salvage work can go so smoothly, it is inseparable from your dedication!"

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!" Wei Ziming thanked again, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future!"

These days, it is really hard to find Party A who does not drag the tail money with a lantern!

"Okay, if there is any salvage work in the future, I will have someone contact you as soon as possible." Zhang Da said, "I will make this salvage process into a documentary, so I hope you can be the person in charge of the salvage team. , to be interviewed by the director of the next documentary."

"Mr. Zhang, this matter is absolutely fine!" Wei Ziming agreed, "We are going to rest in Jinling for a week before going home. During this week, I can accept interviews at any time."

...

Two days later, Yingguo's logistics company also transported a sunken ship belonging to Zhang Da and the wreckage of another sunken ship to Jinling.

Chen Long, who had already conducted a detailed interview with Wei Ziming, said to Zhang Da while watching the cameramen filming the multi-masted sailboats on the pier:

"Mr. Zhang, after today's filming is over, the only thing left is the part of filming the treasure."

"The expert team has finished resting, and they will start the identification of treasures tomorrow." Zhang Da said, "They have opened three of the treasure chests before, and many of them have been severely eroded by sea water. Treasure for repairs."

"Treasure repair is a good subject for shooting!" Chen Long said, "Mr. Zhang, I want to film the process of treasure repair. If some treasures with important historical significance are salvaged, we can completely cut this documentary into a Upper and lower parts.

The upper part mainly talks about the process of digging treasures, and the lower part can analyze the historical and cultural value of these treasures. "

"You are the director, so you have the final say on this matter." Zhang Da said, "Actually, we are still planning to restore the disintegrated sailboat. If you think the restoration process of the sailboat is worth filming, you can also film it."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will also take pictures of the process of repairing the sailboat." Chen Long said, "Shooting these contents is very simple, and there should be no need to increase the budget."

"You just need to be safe and bold!" Zhang Da said, "As long as the expenditure is reasonable, I will agree to increase the budget."

谷儅

Chen Long leaned forward and said, "Then I thank Mr. Zhang for his kindness first!"

He now understands why his old classmate Chen Kaiqi joined Mingda Film and Television Company without hesitation.

Compared with the embarrassment of scratching one's head for a budget increase of tens of thousands of yuan, it is much more comfortable to join a film and television company with strong financial strength.

If it wasn't because he was a documentary director, Chen Long really wanted to recommend himself and apply to join Mingda Film and Television Company.

'How about I also study how to shoot TV dramas later? '

Looking at the bustling pier, Chen Long thought.

...

A day later, Zhang Da and others gathered in a large laboratory.

The identification and maintenance of the treasure will be carried out here.

Chen Long directed the cameramen to set up the camera positions in advance, and the club was interviewing an old man with a gentle appearance.

The person in charge of the appraisal team introduced to Zhang Da: "Mr. Zhang, this is Professor Huang Zichang from the Department of History of Jinling University. His main field of historiography is Western medieval history, so we specially invited him to check for us."

"I see." Zhang Da nodded and said, "Professor Huang seems quite talkative."

"Yes, Professor Huang has been teaching the history department of Jinling University." The person in charge said, "His class is very popular among the students!"

Hearing this, Zhang Da nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Zhang, we have already started repairing some of the treasures that were unpacked earlier." The person in charge asked for instructions, "Now we are going to continue opening the treasure chests. Look?"

"Let's get started." Zhang Da nodded and said, "I'm also watching on the spot to see what the results are like this time."

"I think there should be some precious treasures in the treasure chest!" The person in charge said, "As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. rule.

There should be several national treasures among the treasures they took away when they were defeated! "

Zhang Da laughed and said, "Then I will lend you a good word."

Twenty minutes later, Professor Huang, who had finished the interview with Chen Long, came over:

"Mr. Zhang, hello!"

"Hello, Professor Huang!" Zhang Da shook hands with the other party, "Thank you for coming to help."

"You're welcome, the treasures of the Harold dynasty you salvaged this time are also very important to my research." Professor Huang smiled, "For Harold's short-lived dynasty, even the historical records left by the mainland There are also very few.

You may be able to unearth more facts about the Harolds by looking at the Harolds' treasures you've salvaged.

If you agree, I hope in the future to publish a treatise on the Harolds' dynasty on the results of this salvage.

Because the thesis needs to draw on these treasures that belong to you, I will pay you a research fee in the name of the school. "

"No problem, you can use these treasures to complete your thesis." Zhang Da said, "I didn't intend to hide these treasures privately."

Professor Huang smiled and said: "Okay, then I thank you here first!"

.

Chapter 466 The Crown

After reaching an agreement with Professor Huang, Zhang Da changed into his laboratory overalls, and walked into the secret room where the treasure chest was placed with the members of the appraisal team.

"Mr. Zhang, before we returned to the voyage, we marked each treasure box with a number and affixed a seal at the same time to ensure that no one can open it without permission." Xu Yang, the leader of the appraisal team, said, "Now, I would like you to choose one first." The treasure chest is open, I hope you can bring good luck to everyone."

Zhang Da said with a smile: "If you let me choose, I will choose No. 6!"

This year is the sixth year he has been in the system.

If there is no system, this batch of treasures obviously has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, he decided to choose 6 as his lucky number for today.

"Okay, treasure chest No. 6!" Xu Yang nodded with a smile, "Do you want to open the treasure chest yourself?"

Zhang Da said, "Yes, is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Xu Yang said: "No, there is a gas mask on the cover of the work clothes you are wearing, which can ensure your safety. You just need to open it like an ordinary box."

"it is good."

Zhang Da nodded, walked to the No. 6 treasure chest, reached out and tore off the seal.

Then, with both hands, he opened the treasure chest that had been buried for nearly a thousand years.

Suddenly, a crown covered with jewels and silver attracted his attention.

Looking at the slightly shiny golden crown, Zhang Da asked the people around him, "Look, this crown is made of gold in England, right?"

"On the surface, yes!" Xu Yang said, "But whether it is pure gold or gold-plated, we still need to pass the test to get the result."
