Chapter 554 Organizing the Game
After reading the record of the Navy's "Yemen evacuation" operation, probably all that is left in their hearts is joy and pride.

Although a lot of detailed processes are omitted, it is still soul-stirring and unforgettable.

Of course, when filming a movie about the Navy, the Hai Zheng Television Art Center is an unavoidable point.

How to organize the game has become the core issue at the moment.

At the same time, Guo Fan's "Arrival" has started casting, just two days after tomorrow, and the momentum is not small.

As the second sci-fi film director of Mengying Media, it has attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

Many media outside Mengying Media are already filming, hoping to get some first-hand information.

Just when the industry was in a state of calm, Chen Kaige's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was taken out and whipped to death again.

Originally, the average daily box office had dropped below 1000 million, and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", which had almost exhausted its potential, was currently struggling to survive. Chen Kai wanted to see if it could break through 4 million safely, but things didn't work out.

Taoist priest Meng Chongran, director of the Rights Protection Committee of the China Taoist Association, made a statement of condemnation to director Chen Kaige and asked three questions of the soul:

Is the Taoist community overly sensitive or is Chen Kaige vilifying Taoism? Is the so-called "seriously hurting people's religious sentiments" true? Where are the boundaries of fiction in literary and artistic works?

"Director Zhang, I have something to ask you for help."

What's going on? I'm still on the line with someone. Why was my house stolen?

After Li Mu exchanged a few words with Qi, he went directly to the topic.

1. Why did you make such a low-level and obscene movie to belittle, insult, and slander Taoism? Mr. Chen Kaige, what is your purpose?

Since cooperating with Li Mu on "Edge of Tomorrow", the substantial benefits he has received have been great. Last year, he shot a lot of promotional videos for various departments. His future is bright.

"Oh, I understand, Director Li, Haizheng Television Art Center, right? Their director Tang Jing is familiar to me. This is a small matter."

"Hey, Director Li, I've been waiting for your words. If you need any help from me, just ask. Or is there a new movie that we can collaborate on?"

However, just when everyone was talking about it, the plot took a 360-degree turn.

Many netizens thought of Jia Ling, who just apologized for pranking Hua Mulan yesterday, and expressed their grievances for Chen Kai:

After this statement of condemnation was issued, it aroused heated discussion among netizens.

"I have a good idea. Regarding the navy, I need to ask Director Zhang to introduce it to me."

Naturally, some netizens thought that Taoist Meng Chongran was right, and both sides held different opinions and started a heated discussion on Weibo.

But Li Mu couldn't care about these things on the Internet at this time. He was still talking to Zhang Wei from Jindun.

"Jia Ling was forced to apologize by a certain group that claimed to be the guardian of Mulan. In the future, if I see who dares to create in China, someone will come out to force him to apologize."

Li Mu smiled lightly.

The China Taoist Association issued a statement stating that the condemnation of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was not issued by the Taoist Association.

This year's tasks are also quite good projects, including planning the movie "The Party's Daughter-Yin Lingzhi" and cooperating with CCTV to shoot documentaries, etc.

2. The protagonist of the film, He Anxia, ​​rides a high ladder to peek into privacy and lust after her. Mr. Chen Kaige, what is your morality when you photograph a Taoist priest in such a vulgar and vulgar way?
3. The protagonist of the film, He Anxia, ​​knelt down and begged to confess to a monk for solace after killing someone. Mr. Chen Kaige, what are your intentions?
Claiming that the movie "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige wantonly vilified the image of Taoism and Taoist priests and violated multiple policies and regulations, it demanded that "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" be stopped immediately, and Chen Kaige and the film producers were asked to publicly apologize to the Taoist community and eliminate the Influence.

Is it Meng Chongran's self-marketing hype or self-directed and acted? What was originally a good movie suddenly became full of doubts, making people confused, and turned into a suspense film.

Countless netizens who were discussing it on the Internet were dumbfounded.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he naturally knew who Li Mu wanted him to recommend.

Naturally, each theme has its own director, and the naval theme must not be bypassed by the Maritime Television Art Center.

"Well, let's do that. I'll get back to you later."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

"Where is it?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu lightly knocked on the table. He probably had an idea of ​​how to organize the game.

At the same time, Tang Jing from Haizheng Television Art Center also looked thoughtful after answering Zhang Wei's call.

"Li Mu from Mengying Media?"

"Xiao Zhao, ask Feng Ji to come in."

Tang Jing immediately ordered.

After a while, a short-haired man, who looked to be in his thirties, walked in with a hint of gentleness.

"Director Tang, did you call me?"

"Well, have you completed the "Yemen evacuation" script you wrote in the report before?"

Tang Jing slowly stood up and sat on the sofa.

"The first draft is finished, Director Tang. Are there any investors willing to invest in the filming?"

Feng Ji said with some excitement that this script was inspired by the news he saw in March when he saw the overwhelming news of the Navy's "Evacuation of Overseas Chinese from Yemen" operation and the whole country was immersed in joy and pride. He planned to adapt it based on "Evacuation of Overseas Chinese from Yemen". Movie.

Judging from his vicious vision in creating classic TV series such as "Forever", this story is definitely not bad.

For this reason, he immediately made a report to the leadership of the art center, and the leadership was very supportive and urged him to complete the first draft as soon as possible.

In the following months, he received the accurate information and immediately started research. He went to a submarine detachment to experience life and learn submarine tactics, and found the commander and team members who were involved in the incident to conduct interviews. After more than three months of busy work, the script was initially completed.

Chief Xia Ping, the political commander of the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Yemen, also personally named it "Operation Red Sea". However, something slightly embarrassing happened. Haizheng Television Art Center has always focused on the production of TV series and knows nothing about movies.

This not only caused trouble for Feng Ji, but also made director Tang Jing worry.

And nowadays, movies with main theme are not popular, and it seems that this "hot potato" may not be able to find a successor for a while.

"It's not that there are investors who are willing to take over, but Mr. Li from Mengying Media seems to be planning to shoot a navy-themed movie. Come over to our place for negotiation the day after tomorrow. I plan to push your movie out and ask him if he is willing. Willing to vote.”

At this moment, Tang Jing felt that Li Mu had come just in time. She was about to come forward to find someone willing to take over, and someone happened to come over on his own initiative.

Since Li Mu is determined to make a naval movie, there is a high chance that this "Operation Red Sea" will be passed on.

"I understand, Director Tang. I'm going to see if there is anything that needs to be improved in the script. I'll make some changes while there's still some time."

Feng Ji stood up immediately, very excited.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

Tang Jing nodded.

The box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" showed a normal decline on working days, with an average box office of more than 7000 million on Tuesday and Wednesday.

But the second weekend is coming soon, and the second wave of blowout is about to hit.

Friday morning.

Zhang Wei and Li Muchu met first and went to the Haizheng Television Art Center in the West Third Ring Road together. The presence of this introducer naturally made everyone less embarrassed. After all, it was the first time they met.

After a simple identity check, the vehicle was released.

Just when the vehicle was about to stop, several people came out of the corridor, obviously coming to greet the two of them.

There is a woman walking in the center, wearing a white navy uniform, giving people a heroic look.

"This is Director Tang!"

Zhang Wei took the lead and introduced Li Mu.

"Hello! Director Tang"

"First meeting, Mr. Li!"

The two simply shook hands and became acquainted.

"This is our center's screenwriter, Feng Ji"

"Who is this"

Tang Jing introduced the people involved in the negotiation one by one.

In the conference room, white teacups were placed in front of everyone, very formal.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time."

"When Director Zhang came, we still had cooperation with Haizheng Television Art Center. Naturally, it has been a long time."

Tang Jing smiled and responded.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Li heard that you planned to shoot a naval-themed movie when you came here this time?"

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Li Mu.

As the most popular director at the moment, and can almost be said to be the number one director at the moment, Li Mu's every move has a huge impact on the film and television industry.

The filming of a naval-themed movie this time also made them very curious.

"We have filmed various themes over the years, but the main theme has been rarely filmed. The market says that the main theme cannot get a good box office, but it is not always the case. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Tsui Hark is very good."

Li Mu said slowly, "To be honest, I have always had a military dream. Director Zhang also knows that when we worked together on "Edge of Tomorrow", we couldn't stop loving weapons and equipment."

"Hahaha, Director Li was very excited about wearing a mecha for a long time."

Zhang Wei also added appropriately, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"I have always wanted to make a military-themed movie, and this year's "Yemen evacuation" record happens to be very suitable for adaptation. As a director, after reading this news record, I can't conceal my feelings and surprises."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Li, do you mean 'evacuate overseas Chinese from Yemen'?"

Tang Jing suddenly asked, and several people at Haizheng Television Art Center also looked at each other, seeming a little surprised.

"Well, yes, Director Tang, doesn't he think this story is very suitable to be adapted into a movie, so that the audience can see the power of our motherland?"

"What a coincidence, we already have a first draft of the script for the story you told me."

Tang Jing's face showed surprise, "Feng Ji, take out the script and show it to Mr. Li."

Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that the script had already taken shape so early. He thought it would be later.

Even the time of writing the script can be saved. Does this mean that it takes no effort at all?

"Mr. Li, when I read the news, I had the same feeling as you. I felt that this story should be filmed and shown to the people across the country."

Feng Ji excitedly pulled out a stack of documents from his document bag.
