"Boss, you have a flight to catch soon. You have an hour to prepare."

Director Wei thought about it and decided not to bother Li Shishi, who was too embarrassed to face anyone, but waved to Chen Duling.

Director Wei only picked up today's work schedule after the secretary knelt on the carpet and started working.

"Is the navy ready?"

"Yes, we will arrive at noon and can go on board to shoot tomorrow."

This is why the crew of "Great Power and Heavy Weapons" was formed so quickly.

Director Wei didn't need to prepare many props.

This is the benefit of having backend help.

Director Wei adjusted the filming schedule: "Forget tomorrow. Let's go aboard and shoot in the afternoon, and move dinner to the evening. Also, the actresses don't have to go. Just ask the male lead to go."

Chen Duling looked up, a little surprised. She gave up cleaning up and asked curiously, "Boss, even if a few actresses showed up, nothing would happen. Has anything like this ever happened in the crew you've assembled?"

"I know, but it's unnecessary. These female celebrities are too sentimental. Don't challenge human nature."

Under normal circumstances, no one would deny face to Director Wei.

Even the navy.

There are not many people in high positions who can still have decisions made by their lower body.

However, Director Wei used several female stars in "The Great Weapon" who were goddesses from the golden age of Hong Kong film industry.

Their fans back then are all older now.

Many people hold high positions.

These people may not have any bad intentions, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

The secretary sighed, "Boss, you are such a good person."

"I just want to eat alone."

Wen Juchang's battle record can be checked.

Director Wei doesn't want to challenge human nature and power.

"I understand, I'll make arrangements."

"Well, how are the arrangements for the skit department going?"

"I'll leave it to Teacher Li."

Director Wei looked at Li Shishi.

At this time, Li Shishi still buried her head in the pillow.

However, she seemed to sense Director Wei's gaze and said, "We've established a short play department and are accepting short play scripts and new directors. However, there aren't many stars interested yet. Most stars are still waiting and watching. After all, they prefer to act in movies."

Of course, it is easier to become famous with the help of celebrities.

But it's normal that no one wants to be the first to take a risk.

Director Wei nodded and said, "Let's experiment with the baby first."

"Well, Baby has already started contacting the short play department. Also, the script about Boss Xu is almost finished. I'll give it to you as soon as it's officially completed."

After filming "The Great Weapon", Director Wei prepared to start filming a story based on Boss Xu.

Compared to "The Great Power's Heavy Weapons", Boss Xu's story script is a little more difficult to write.

Because there are too many things in Boss Xu’s life that cannot be filmed.

What the script needs to do is not addition, but subtraction.

In contrast, "Great Power's Heavy Weapons" only needs to film the game process itself.

Although some sensitive deletions were required, they were not many.

Now, about 20 years have passed since those years, and many things have begun to be revealed. In addition to the confrontation on the secret front, this film was originally intended to make a fair and impartial evaluation of the participants of that year.

So Director Wei just needs to shoot step by step, and there are very few places where he needs to express himself freely.

Fortunately, Director Wei is not that subjective. He just sticks to the assigned topic and can still make the film wonderful even without free expression.

An hour later, Director Wei and the crew gathered and boarded a plane to the naval fleet.

There is no need to say much about the filming process, Director Wei was very calm throughout.

However, some actors from Hong Kong were very excited after boarding the real naval heavy equipment.

“We were able to go aboard and film.”

"so big."

"Can I touch it?"

The attitude of this group of people made everyone who was specially sent by the navy to assist in the filming laugh.

"Everyone relax a bit, you're going to be filming this for days."

Li Ming sighed, "There's no such opportunity when filming in Hong Kong."

The overall box office revenue of Hong Kong films is limited, so investment will be restricted.

In fact, even if there were no investment restrictions, they would not be able to obtain this kind of real shooting.

Because there is no such thing in Hong Kong.

A great power's most powerful weapon is something that only a great power can possess.

Not to mention Hong Kong, if the two small countries next door want to shoot, they have to borrow money from their American father.

Nicholas Tse asked, "Director Wei, will it show its power in the movie?"

"Yes, otherwise it would be a waste of time."

The story itself doesn't actually require an aircraft carrier to demonstrate its power.

However, if we want the audience to understand why aircraft carriers are the country's most important weapon, we need to show the importance of aircraft carriers in the new era.

This represents maritime hegemony.

Nicholas Tse rubbed his hands together and said, "Director Wei, could you consider my company for the post-production special effects work?"

Nicholas Tse owns a special effects company called PO Dynasty, which was established in 2003 and is headquartered in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. It is mainly engaged in the post-production special effects production of movies, television, MVs, advertisements and online games.

The company has branches in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Taiwan, providing comprehensive high-quality digital post-production services, including synthetic special effects production, digital editing, recording and mixing, film conversion and computer animation, game special effects, etc., and it does a very good job.

Most celebrities in the entertainment industry don’t invest, but there are indeed a few who are gifted.

Nicholas Tse is one of the best.

The fact that he realized the importance of special effects in 2003 and has been investing in developing special effects companies shows that his awareness and determination alone put him far ahead of other celebrities in the entertainment industry.

After all, special effects companies weren't popular back then, and Nicholas Tse wasn't exactly wealthy. He'd faced nearly every challenge a startup faces, even going so far as to face bankruptcy.

Now all the hard work has paid off. The company, which was founded with an investment of HK$370 million, now has a market value of nearly HK$60 billion.

Although the 60 billion yuan does not all belong to Nicholas Tse, it is definitely an excellent case of celebrity investment in the entertainment industry.

After all, even Ren Quan, widely considered the entertainment industry's most savvy investor, ended up being a deadbeat. Director Wei wasn't surprised that Nicholas Tse wanted to get involved in the post-production of "The Great Power."

But he did not give this face to Nicholas Tse.

"The later stages have been finalized, Tingfeng. Don't say I didn't remind you. When the time is right, you can try to sell the company."

"what?"

Nicholas Tse was surprised: "Director Wei, PO Dynasty is developing very well."

"I know, but times are changing."

"What do you mean?"

“The future of post-production belongs to artificial intelligence.”

The large video model after the evolution of the magic modification system can even take care of the post-production.

Achieve the best results in the shortest time.

When AI develops to a certain level, it will definitely replace many industries.

The entertainment industry is not immune either.

This may be one of the reasons for the slow development of the domestic artificial intelligence field.

After all, the higher-ups certainly don't want a huge wave of unemployment.

However, the general trend is difficult to change.

There will only be a lack of development, and there will definitely be no lack of development.

After all, the development on the other side of the Pacific is in full swing. If you don’t develop, how can you compete?

Under this trend, many people and many industries will become cannon fodder.

"Some things aren't because you did anything wrong. It's just that the wheel of time keeps moving forward. When it abandons you, it won't even say hello."

Director Wei's sighing tone gave Nicholas Tse a chill.

PS: As usual, the filming process will be quickly skipped and the next chapter will go straight to the main film.

Chapter 298 Arts Department, Director Wei's Beauty Pageant

There is no need to say much about the filming process. With the dual support of Haijun and Director Wei, the crew was extremely clean.

There were some open and covert struggles among the people below, but no one dared to delay the filming.

After all, they can't afford the consequences.

Under these circumstances, the filming process went exceptionally smoothly.

The work efficiency of Director Wei's crew also amazed the naval leaders.

And once again extended an invitation to Director Wei.

But this time, it has nothing to do with filming.

Director Wei was invited purely to show his face.

"Why did you invite me?"

Director Wei looked at Chen Duling in surprise.

Chen Duling understood Director Wei's surprise and patiently explained, "Please be the invigilator and judge the students who are participating."

Director Wei stroked his chin, thoughtfully asking, "Is the army going to rebuild the art troupe?"

"Yes, boss. They believe in your vision and aesthetic taste. Moreover, you have always had a pleasant cooperation with the military, and your position in the field of literature and art is unshakable, so they asked you to be the examiner."

Director Wei became interested.

It’s good to be an examiner.

Although he is not a good teacher, he likes to help those who are younger than him.

He especially likes to support female stars who are not yet famous.

Of course, this is not the invigilation for Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy.

The standards for art selection in the military are different.

But it is also easy to select talents.

In some ways, the people here are even cleaner.

more at ease.

After all, film academies train stars and are aimed at the general public.

The quality can be said to be mixed.

When the military selects people for literary and artistic work, it targets all soldiers.
