This director needs to apologize

Chapter 380 The Eggs Have Really Hatched
Once Boss Lin comes up with a new trick, it goes without saying that the media will come to Chen Yiming for a response. But does this have anything to do with him?
Chen Yiming simply called Xiaomei and asked her to cancel all her subsequent trips. He then booked a plane ticket to Qindao and said he would not accompany her any more.

Xiangrui's "Five Hundred Days of Summer Solstice" has resumed filming, so he simply went to the crew to relax.

Although Chen Yiming didn't care about the subsequent situation, he still listened to it as the crew members liked to report in real time.

Anyue's behavior this time was indeed a bit ugly, and he was laughed at by many people inside and outside the circle, but Boss Lin lost face but gained something in return. The title of domestic film box office champion was actually won, and the feedback he received from the capital market was extremely generous.

Later, the Film Bureau issued an invitation letter for an "interview", which is hard to say whether it is substantive or symbolic. Da Zhuang said that Anyue's ultimate move's cooldown will definitely be extended for a period of time, and it is estimated that he will not dare to do anything fancy this year.

As for the impact on the entire industry, it will definitely be a huge win, because Boss Lin’s gains this time cannot be hidden from those who are interested, and there will definitely be many people who will follow his example.

Nowadays, who among those who are qualified to make a living in the film market doesn’t have a listed company behind him?

Chen Yiming just listened. He said everything he could say, and he repeated it more than once on multiple occasions. As for how much his superiors listened, that was not something he could decide.

It is his precious "New Year's Day" period now and he has no plans to get involved in the movie for the time being, so although he is on the crew, his heart is with his sister.

An Xixi already had a heavy workload during filming, and producer Chen Yiming not only did not help but also caused more trouble, so he was kicked out by director Fu after only a few days.

After returning to the Magic City in shame, Chen Yiming reviewed the work at hand.

There is only one movie to be released by Platinum this year, which is Xiangrui's "500 Days of Summer", and the release date will be either the summer vacation at the earliest or Singles' Day at the latest.

Tian Li's "Negotiation Expert" is progressing slowly. One reason is that one of the leading actors, Duan Yining, is a little tired after working non-stop for several years and has long since told Chen Yiming that he wants to take a break.

Lao Duan is actually one of those actors who has a long pre-production period. His acting style requires a lot of practice, and he is slow to get into and out of the role. Although he plays the same role in Chinatown 2, it still takes a long time to prepare.

As for the selection of other actors, Tian Li also had difficulty making choices. The audition invitation was changed back and forth countless times, which annoyed the producer Xiaomei.

After all, Director Tian is directing for the first time. Although he appears to be very confident on the surface, he is still a little nervous behind the scenes. At least when facing the actors, he is not as conscious of being a superior as the older generation of directors.

Replace the old guys like Sun Wangquan and Jiang Huiwen. Signing a contract does not prevent them from replacing people at the last minute. So what if they turn down the film contract? So what if they rehearse for a year? If I say they must be replaced, then they must be replaced. There is no room for negotiation.

Excuse me? Are you kidding me? Who deserves it?
For someone like Tian Li, even the audition invitations were sent out cautiously and carefully, and it's obvious at first glance that she's a newbie.

It has to be said that Platinum's management style is very relaxed. The fact that it does not go public or raise funds shows that it has the confidence. Chen Yiming and Ma Yunteng can handle big and small matters just by discussing them.

Neither of them is obsessed with making money, nor do they have any idea of ​​making the company bigger and stronger. For example, the contracts between the company and several directors are of indefinite duration. As long as there are no projects on hand, they can terminate the contract at any time.

As for the KPI clause of shooting three films in five years, it does not exist at all.

Therefore, from Chen Yiming onwards, Platinum Duke's directors had no sense of urgency, and their work style was somewhat personal.

After Wang Wei finished filming "The Usual Suspects", he took a long vacation. He rested for half a year and was still hanging out outside, with no signs of starting the next project.

Li Jun, who has no work at the moment, has gone to help his friend in Hengcheng shoot a TV series. He has no objection to the "Her Memories" arranged for him by Chen Yiming, but the core of the project, Xiao Qi, is playing minor roles everywhere to gain experience, and it will take some time before the official launch. However, Li Jun is not in a hurry at all, and he is a person who takes things as they come.

As soon as Tian Li got the power, he changed himself. His perfectionism came out. The project preparation was all over the place and he kept reworking it. He even changed the production list of the trainee producer to the point that 26 letters were not enough.

Since he was only messing around with the script, storyboards and cast, and hadn't caused any significant investment losses, Chen Yiming let him go. It's a man's first time, so you have to be understanding.

Chen Yiming himself has not yet thought about his next plan. If he continues to sign up for next year's Spring Festival, he will have to start working in July at the latest, and the script must be completed around June.

But he hadn't even created the folder yet. He only had a vague idea in his mind, which was to continue the style of one city per movie from before.

Chen Yiming has made four movies since his time travel. "1951" is about war history and "Mulan" is about ancient history. Neither of them was planned and they were unplanned essay topics.

The other two films, "Holiday in the Magic City" and "The 13th Floor", were the ones he wanted to shoot himself, and the routines are very consistent. He borrowed the mature framework of previous fine films, combined with the cultural environment of contemporary China, and filled them with themes and content that suit the psychology of current audiences.

I have to say that magic modification is addictive. There is a famous line in "Crazy Stone" that the city is the mother and we live in its womb.

Xie Xiaomeng said that this was to introduce body art, while Chen Yiming used it to reduce the rejection rate of magical modifications. Characters do not live in a vacuum. Only when they are placed in a concrete and tangible environment can the core of the story they convey resonate with the audience.

For him, the first thing to study when deciding on the next project is where the modified story should take place.

A specific city has a specific temperament, and the people who live there also have specific personalities. By determining the city where the story takes place, the background tone of the entire movie is also determined.

We have filmed in Shanghai and Chongqing, one in East China and one in Xichuan. Which city should we choose for the next one?
After thinking it over, Chen Yiming still had no clue and was not in a hurry. Firstly, there was no rush and secondly, there was no need. The worst that could happen was that he would just miss the Spring Festival period and have more free time to slack off.

After creating the folder for "Part 5", he browsed through other folders. He was shocked to find that he had dug a lot of holes before.

From Gu Yuehe, Duan Yining, Lao Shen, Wu Lianjing, and why is there Song Jia's? When did he promise her that? Why does she have no recollection of it at all?

In addition, Platinum's own plans also include "Her Memories" for Xiaoqi and Chinatown 3.

After counting for a while, Chen Yiming became numb. The pit was so deep, when would he be able to climb out?

The days of sleeping until I wake up naturally passed by so quickly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, "The Thirteenth Floor" was taken off the screen, "Five Hundred Days of Summer Solstice" was completed, and Chen Yiming and An Xixi returned from their trip.

By the time Chen Yiming turned on his computer and pretended to work again, it was already mid-June.

As a result, he turned on the computer again without writing a single word, because Da Zhuang called and said that the trainee talent show that he and Yao Laosan had been working on for several years was finally going to be on, and they wanted Chen Yiming to hurry up and be a special guest.

In fact, the promotion for this program has already started for a while, but Chen Yiming first stayed at home and slept, and then went on a trip with his beauty. He didn't care about the outside world for a long time, so he was completely unaware of the situation.

Da Zhuang took great pains to deal with this matter. He negotiated with Blue Channel for satellite broadcasting and the Penguin Video platform for online broadcasting.

Yao Laosan also exhausted all his strength and mobilized seven mainland entertainment companies to select trainees to participate. In addition to the fifty or sixty trainees crammed into his own eight entertainment companies, he also reserved forty or fifty places for grassroots idols.

The list of nominees for the main part of the show is so long that there is an extra zero after the hundred, for a total of 105 young and handsome men.

These 105 male trainees were divided into three groups and evenly assigned to teams named after three returning female idols. The online publicity openly used the names of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.

Chen Yiming was shocked by this idea. A talent show is trying to copy classical masterpieces. Aren’t they afraid of being subject to cultural law enforcement by forcing it like this?
The fact is that older lolis who are chasing after young men like this way of playing very much, because it makes the tearing more exciting.

The unexpected surprise is that men who are not interested in male talent shows are also attracted to the "108 Trainees" and are more concerned about arranging the seats for the fresh meat than the female audiences.

In short, the show became popular before it even aired, and it’s been on the Weibo hot search list every day.

The five judges are a popular returning male idol, a famous Chinese music producer living in Japan, a Taiwanese Chinese pop star, the youngest winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award for Best Actor, and the director of Warner Music Asia.

Spanning five fields including singing, dancing, production, film and television, and management, he aims to raise the ceiling for idols right from the start.

In addition to the judges, each episode will invite several big names in the entertainment industry to be guest commentators. Da Zhuang was not shy about it and invited Chen Yiming and An Xixi to the first episode.

An international double-Award winning director and the nation’s first love, I just want to ask you if you are good enough!
What's even more surprising is that Da Zhuang actually invited the national host from Huang Channel. Considering the incompatible relationship between Huang and Blue Channel, I really don't know how he did it.

Although he was said to be a guest of one episode, Chen Yiming had been recording in Hangzhou for three whole days. He was quite idle, but An Xixi was still tasked with post-dubbing. During breakfast in the morning, Xiangrui's angry voice scolding Dazhuang on the phone could be heard by everyone in the restaurant.

There is nothing much to say about the show itself. Chen Yiming just needs to manage his expression and sit there as a mascot. After the trainees' performances are over, he waits for the host to pass on the message and then makes some irrelevant complaints.

Compared to the talent show itself, the official designated cooperation APP LeXiang Short Video was the thing that really surprised him. He didn't expect that Da Zhuang's angel investment would really bear fruit.
