Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The film was released, and the audience was shocked.

Everyone flipped through the materials in their hands.

The sound of flipping pages lasted for three or four minutes.

Seeing that no one asked questions, Chen Xiao directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Starting tomorrow, that is, on the 21st, they will gather together to carefully interpret the script to ensure that the main creative team is consistent in their creative concepts.

Wait until the 28th to go to the casting.

At the same time, each group also prepared their own equipment, props, venues, etc.

Wait until mid-April to go to the scene to shoot.

After the meeting, Chazelle said hello to him and left directly, and other foreign partners followed him out of the meeting room.

When there were only four or five Chinese people left, the deputy minister came over with the script, pulled open the stool next to Chen Xiao, and whispered: "Director Chen, I want to ask a small question."

"You say."

"There are some things in the script that I don't quite understand, such as the program group locked the protagonist on the island. Is this considered illegal confinement? Then the program lasted for 30 years... Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

Chen Xiao smiled.

As expected of a producer responsible for managing and executing film projects, he is very realistic in his thinking.

He nodded and said: "Well, not only is it illegal detention, but it also violates privacy and portrait rights, and there is fraud, intentional harm, and human rights violations."

"So in the movie, the global audience just watched it like this?"

"Yes, just watched it like this."

"No..."

The deputy minister frowned and turned his hands in circles, "Don't be like a repeater" The words came to his throat but he didn't dare to say them.

Chen Xiao put his hand on the script and said:

"In terms of subject matter, because this is an absurd subject, we will create an unrealistic, fictional environment that can be different from the real logic and law."

"In terms of the main idea, we want to criticize the excessive monitoring of personal life by the media in modern society. The audience's indifference and watching the excitement are also a reflection of the real world, which encourages everyone to think about these issues."

"For the main idea, logic makes concessions. Just like painting, we are not as realistic as taking pictures, but pursuing the beauty we want to express."

"Is that so." The deputy minister sighed, "Director Chen, I have never directed this type of movie before, I am a little worried... Otherwise, I..."

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

This deputy minister has also served as a producer of many works before. Why is he so nervous now?

The deputy minister just said that he saw some comments on the Internet. It is probably because of the pressure of the comments?

So far, each of his works has achieved good box office results. He is afraid that he will fall in his hands.

Chen Xiao comforted him, "You don't have to be afraid of difficulties. We will analyze the script together next, and understanding will not be a problem. If there are any difficulties, tell me in time, don't feel pressured. Moreover, our focus is on the international market, and if there is pressure, it should be the foreign producer who is under pressure. You are mainly responsible for the domestic market, so relax a little, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Director Chen." The deputy minister nodded and left the meeting room.

As soon as the deputy minister left, Chen Xiao heard Fang Rong's voice from the left front.

"Huang Peng, come here."

Fang Rong pulled the casting director Huang Peng to sit next to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao said helplessly, "What are you doing? You didn't say anything just now, and now you come here to whisper?"

"Just now, Cha Zelei and the others were here, so it was inconvenient." Fang Rong lowered his voice and looked at Huang Peng, "After you have preliminarily selected the list of people, I suggest that the three of us meet and let me see the list first."

Seeing that Huang Peng was a little dazed, Fang Rong patted him on the shoulder.

This young man is the casting director of "Interstellar" and has relatively little experience in the entertainment industry.

At that time, Chen Xiao insisted on choosing a young man, so good things happened to him.

"Director Huang, you are still young, there are some things you don't know, I will help you check, don't mind."

Fang Rong looked at Chen Xiao and continued: "I suggest that Director Huang choose people according to the role, don't invite them first after choosing, let's meet each other, as for the reason, you will know when the time comes."

"Okay, the three of us are old acquaintances, cooperate more."

Chen Xiao made the decision.

Anyway, they will interpret the script next, meet often, and it is not difficult to hold a small meeting by the way.

...

Four days later, March 24, 5:30 pm.

After saying goodbye to the other crew members, Chen Xiao, Fang Rong, and Huang Peng returned to the meeting room.

Huang Peng took out the casting list and kept a copy for himself, and handed one to Fang Rong and Chen Xiao, "This is what I have compiled based on the past two days of contact.

It is a list compiled from my list and the candidates I selected. "

Fang Rong took the document, flipped it open and scanned it, frowning.

"Director Fang, do you have any questions?" Chen Xiao asked.

Fang Rong raised his head and looked at the two of them meaningfully.

Of course there are questions.

Tell Chen Xiao that it's okay, but Huang Peng is here too...

"Director Fang, if you have any questions, you can just tell me, I'm very tight-lipped. If it's inconvenient, I can also go out." Huang Peng said very sensibly.

Fang Rong looked at the list on the document again and hesitated for ten seconds, "Have you signed a contract with our company?"

He remembered that Huang Peng was suppressed by many senior seniors in Lezhong, the largest entertainment company in China. He was capable but difficult to stand out, and he felt resentful.

During "Interstellar", Chen Xiao treated him well, so he jumped over.

In this case, he should be very loyal to Oriental Media.

"Signed. ”

“Then I’ll tell you straight, just as a reference for your future casting. Don’t say these words to others, don’t cause trouble for yourself and the company.”

Huang Peng nodded seriously.

Fang Rong picked up a pen and flipped through the documents.

“You look at the first page, I’ll start from the beginning.”

Seeing Chen Xiao and the others flipping through the documents, Fang Rong’s eyes fell back on the list and said:

“Ning Yuanlan cheated with cold violence, delete it.”

“Zhai Haili went to Piaochang, delete it.”

“Ye Nian was the third, delete it.”

“It’s better for you not to know about Lu Qixiang’s affairs, delete it anyway.”

“Lou Ke slept with a fan, delete it.”

“Qiu Han’s tax problem, delete it.”

“…”

Fang Rong said a lot like a judge, and deleted fifteen people. “Okay, that’s about it, I don’t know about the others. "

After saying that, he took a sip of tea and looked up at the two of them.

Chen Xiao and Huang Peng were petrified, staring at him blankly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Any questions?"

They nodded at the same time.

They felt stupid.

At first, they were a little excited.

It was like a civet in a melon field, jumping up and down.

But as they listened, there were more and more melons.

They both started to get scared. They were afraid that the entertainment industry would be gone soon.

Huang Peng swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt that his actor library seemed to be invaded by a virus.

"Director Chen, Director Fang, no, sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Sorry, I didn't do a good background check."

Fang Rong waved his hand, "Don't blame you. Can it be called a secret if I let you know? And this is nothing. I just picked out the key points. If I expand on it, we won't have to eat today."

Chen Xiao asked, "Director Fang, why are there so many problems this time? It seemed to be okay before. Did something happen last year? "

Fang Rong glanced at him and snorted, "Master, it's not that something happened last year, but that you lived too comfortably before. Recall it. Mr. Wang found you the person for your first movie, how could he not know? The three movies after that were all from the Ministry of Culture, how dare these people get involved?"

Huang Peng suddenly realized.

"No wonder! No wonder after I selected the people for "Interstellar", many people refused on the grounds of schedule conflicts. I was wondering at the time, such a good opportunity, they should have turned down other schedules and come."

Fang Rong snorted, "Really? I didn't tell you at the time, and I knew with my feet that they would definitely not dare to come."

He looked at Chen Xiao, his voice became more serious, and continued, "But this time, Director Chen, you left the Ministry of Culture to work alone. Although you are still a policy advisor to the Ministry of Culture, this movie has nothing to do with them. Under the temptation of interests, some problematic actors will also be invited to come, or take the initiative to sign up, so this time the casting must be cautious. "

"Okay, thank you Director Fang for reminding me." Chen Xiao nodded.

I used to think Fang Rong was just an intelligence station, but I didn't expect he was also a minesweeper.

This guy really didn't stay for nothing.
