Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 128 "Red Cliff" Crew

The first and second parts of "Red Cliff" were filmed together. The burning of Red Cliff took place at Yishui Lake in Yixian County, Hebei Province. The grassland war scenes mainly relied on special effects. The real charge was only more than 1000 horses, and there were more people than horses. The number of Huns cavalry It is several times as powerful as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but it is a pity that the equipment is not good enough.

When Qu Li arrived, this scene was about to be filmed. There were more than 1000 people who could not recruit the army. Many of them were herdsmen. It was very expensive to organize and difficult to manage.

How should I put it? The domestic film and television industry is currently based on a director-centered system. All rights are concentrated in the director. Those big directors are worthy of praise if they can recite poetry. It is really difficult for them to have modern enterprise management capabilities.

"Red Cliff" is a blockbuster. Although there are producers and supervisors, what is the status of Uncle Chen? It's not like Qu Li, who is ignorant and dares to challenge the sky and the earth in the central government. He wants to work in this industry. Go on, who dares to really offend Director Chen?

Qu Li quickly understood the situation when he arrived. The difficulty in this scene was how to get these amateur "people" to move according to the director's ideas.This is something he can solve, and he certainly can't delay it. The rental of "people and horses" requires money. Even if there is not 500 a day, there is always 300. The extras spend at least 50 a day. Don't forget that there is also helicopter shooting.

Fortunately, Zhong Lifang was here. Qu Li, as the nominal director, had the possibility to perform under his subordinates. After communicating with Zhong Lifang, he directly took over the power during the crew meeting and assigned tasks one by one.

Although Director Chen looked a little embarrassed, he thought that someone had reminded him that Qu Li had given him enough face by not teasing him for such a long time. If there was another conflict, others would say that he had no tolerance for others, and it just so happened that his wife Without him, his assistant was temporarily called away. Director Chen, who really couldn't save face, chose to endure it.

In less than half an hour, the entire crew started moving. Qu Li did not stay in the tent, but stood in a conspicuous place with a walkie-talkie to help his subordinates make decisions.

In ancient marching and fighting, the most difficult thing about arranging troops was not the formation diagram, but communication. As long as a general can convey his orders clearly and preparedly to others, he is basically a famous general.No one would think that the official language spoken by people in the Han Dynasty was Mandarin, right?

Without communication barriers, the group performance cannot be directed. The key is the lack of grassroots command strength, that is, the squad leader.With the promise of promotion and fortune, he used coercion and inducement to kick out some who were really difficult to cooperate. In half a day, he rearranged the tall and powerful tiger and leopard cavalry, and the crooked melon and cracked jujube were of course the nomadic Xiongnu or Xianbei. Qu Li was too lazy to do research, so he directly Practice it.

In the next few days, Qu Li took control of the entire crew, and his work efficiency was greatly improved. No matter you are Deng Ye or Niu Ye, a middle-aged man or a crooked man, you must be obedient in front of capital.

Unfortunately, there was still a conflict with Director Chen. He wanted to shoot a big scene like "The Lord of the Rings", and even the soundtrack had to be made by a music master to match the feeling of "The Battle of the Five Armies". He wanted a hearty victory!

What Qu Li wanted was visual impact, and Director Chen wanted artistic beauty. This was difficult to reconcile. There was no other choice but to take out the completed "nijamena" and play it.

"I want this feeling!" Han Sanpin called Director Chen to emphasize.

There was no way around it. He was worried about leaving such a big scene to Qu Li, so he still had to cooperate with Director Chen and the photographer.Why don't you keep playing BGM for Director Chen to urge him to film?Qu Li stared at Director Chen unkindly for a long time, and then was misunderstood, thinking that he wanted to replace him.

So Mrs. Chen Dao came to the door in person and chatted with Qu Li for a while.

"I really don't have much free time, so I can't stay here to make a movie. The success or failure of this movie actually has little to do with me. In the end, Director Chen must be the one who takes the blame, and the ones who lose money are China Film, Chengtian and Xiaoxiao." horse……"

"Director Wu in Xiangjiang is more cooperative. I heard that the progress is very fast. If Director Chen is afraid of competing with Director Wu and breaking out of his comfort zone, he is afraid that he will not be able to make a commercial blockbuster..."

Qu Li doesn't seem to be able to appreciate "Farewell My Concubine", so he naturally doesn't understand the greatness of Director Chen. Mrs. Chen knows that it's best for young people like this to follow suit. Director Chen didn't suffer a huge loss last time. Come on, this time we should follow the rules of commercial movies.

After some self-education, Mrs. Chen went over to convince Director Chen that the film shooting had entered the fast lane. Qu Li patted his butt and walked away without leaving any traces.

Without Qu Li's efficient decision-making, the crew's operation was not as smooth as before. Director Chen and other behind-the-scenes workers discovered it first, and then the main actors and extras. Fortunately, the prairie chase was about to be filmed, so it would not be affected.

"I asked why China Film would use such a young person. I didn't expect him to be so capable." Several old actors were chatting together.

"Yeah, seeing how domineering he was when he first arrived, and not saying hello to us, I thought, but I didn't expect that he is really a capable person."

"How can he learn as an orphan? If my child is half as good as him..."

"With such a big government, there will always be a few geniuses."

"Yeah, if he wasn't great, how could there be so many great people following him."

"It's a pity that I can't concentrate on making movies. If he had stayed, maybe he could have made it."

"It has already achieved the highest box office record for Chinese-language films in the world."

"What's Comet?"

"The box office is high! Otherwise, how could Han Sanpin..."

Several people were discussing, and Director Chen and Mrs. Chen also discussed Qu Li. The outside media had discussed it before, and they did not think that Qu Li would stay on the set for filming, but they also did not think that Director Chen alone made the decision for this movie. .I was a little unwilling at first, thinking that Qu Li was no good, but I didn't expect that he was really no good.Qu Li didn't compete with him in film and television at all.

"Forget it, stop thinking so much and just keep filming. They are capitalists, not like us." Mrs. Chen

"Hey!" Director Chen wanted to read a poem, but he was really in a bad mood. Forget it, I'll read it next time.

Returning to Beijin again, I inspected Jumei Logistics Beijin Warehousing Center. I originally wanted to experience the life of a courier, but Ning Ritian's "Lucky Key" was finished in the later stages and was scheduled to be released on National Day. We all made an appointment to meet. Chat and brag.

Qu Li's ability to brag has almost become instinctive, and there is no need to prepare at all. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ma Li Ming, Chen Er, Rao Xiaozhi and others are all there. It turns out that they are preparing for "The Unknown".

Qu Li and Li Ming talked about that although screenwriters are important, creative inspiration is hard to find and is far less stable than directors. They can cultivate a team of screenwriters and absorb new blood from all walks of life every year. There is no need to cultivate talented people and maintain a good cooperative relationship. enough.

Perhaps because of the successful financing, Li Ming decided to train new directors and support the FIRST Youth Film Festival, and "The Unknown" was an attempt, with Ning Hao as the producer.

"The starring roles can be Huang Bo, Huang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, Li Xiaolu..."
