I've run into Director Wei's trap in this life.

Director Wei flipped the table over.

What is the best overseas distributor, what is the default unspoken rule and what is the rule breaking.

It's all due to these old-fashioned, self-contained, and small-circle broken cultures.

Director Wei had been too lazy to pay attention to them before.

He directly connects with major investors in Hollywood.

Just one look at these small circles makes Director Wei look cheap.

Everyone should have just lived in peace, but he had to jump on Director Wei's face.

Director Wei slapped him to death.

From the perspective of stars and even directors, it always feels that this small circle of people is very powerful and can determine the survival of a project.

From the perspective of Director Wei and those big capitalists, these people's small circle is shit.

Only those who control money have the right to speak.

When Internet giants entered the market, many small circles could only operate on their own.

Anyone who dares to jump out and try to shake a tree will end up being slapped to death.

Director Wei didn't care about anything else when he shot them to death.

The "Fengshen" trilogy was the project that Jiang Zhiqiang was producing at the time.

Director Wei had no idea.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

What does destroying you have to do with you?

But this matter is indeed related to him.

This is also the reason why Wu Ershan was not the first to ask Director Wei for help.

He was also afraid that Director Wei would vent his anger on them and make their lives even worse.

So he placed his hopes on other big companies in the industry.

pity.

No one is a fool.

Boss Yu was not impressed by Wu Ershan's approach.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you reciting Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in front of me?

Boss Yu appreciates commercial directors like Lin Chaoxian who can shoot large-scale scenes and military patriotic dramas.

Director Wei was certainly not aware of the twists and turns involved, nor did he know that he had created so many butterfly effects.

If he knew, he would probably just say:

Every cause must have its effect!

Also, Boss Yu, it’s fine if you want to eat patriotic food and make patriotic money, but you have to evolve.

The model opera system is no longer useful.

The patriotic dramas that audiences of the new era like to watch are actually not that straightforward.

Wu Ershan said that Director Wei was straightforward, while Brother Kaizi said that Director Wei's films were too superficial because they had watched too many films and that there were some problems in their bones.

In fact, the films directed by Wei are much more subtle than the really direct ones like Watergate Bridge and Chosin Reservoir and Wolf Warrior.

There are even some plots that may make some particularly patriotic viewers feel uncomfortable.

For example, the following paragraph.

Director Wei's film is so realistic that it hurts patriotic feelings to a certain extent.

Shao Chun believed the authenticity of the documents brought by Boss Xu.

Then he grew increasingly nervous.

Even my throat felt a little tight.

"$2000 million is a small sum for an aircraft carrier, but a large sum for a company. Furthermore, Mr. Xu, Hua Xia Securities is a state-owned enterprise, and there's only state money here."

Boss Xu lowered his body and drew a zigzag line on the sandalwood table with his tea. "That's why I came to see you. Mr. Shao, if we can buy back the Varyag, the navy will make a big step forward within ten years. But now..."

Boss Xu pointed to the sky again: "We have disagreements, and we are short of money and a reason to buy. You have the money, and I have the reason to buy."

"Is this what you mean?" Mr. Shao asked.

Boss Xu shook his head: "This is what the Navy wants."

“Who is in charge?”

"Commander He."

"Commander He?"

"Yes, it's Commander He, the He you're thinking of."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Even ordinary audiences realized that the "He" referred to the surname of the founding marshal.

Boss Xu didn't say anything else.

The cold wind outside the window was howling even more.

Shao Chun fell into deep thought.

There was no need for Boss Xu to say anything more, as he had already realized the severity and complexity of the problem.

Given Commander He's position and background, he still had to ask Boss Xu to come forward and ask for his help.

This shows how complicated the situation is.

And the importance of this matter.

Chairman of Hua Xia Securities, this position is not low.

But compared with this matter and a big shot like Commander He, it is obvious that his level is not enough.

Once you are involved, you are likely to be torn to pieces.

Boss Xu suddenly spoke up and added, "Boss Shao, this may be our country's only chance to have a navy. If we miss it, it will never come back."

Shao Chun's eyes narrowed: "I want to see Commander He."

"I'll arrange it right away."

As the male protagonist, Shao Chun is of course patriotic.

However, there are limits to patriotism.

Also talk about conditions.

This is true history.

It is also true human nature.

Of course, this is not politically correct.

However, Director Wei still chose to shoot the real thing.

Director Wei is not worthy of being called a traitor.

Director Wei would not accept unconditional political correctness, insult the audience's intelligence, or force positive energy on them.

He has his own standards when filming.

It will not change because of the complaints of some traitors.

Nor will we make the complexity of human nature unconditionally obey grand narratives in order to please our superiors.

Under the grand narrative, individual will and choices are still very important.

And this is the complexity and truth of history.

Although the plot of "Heavy Weapons of a Great Power" is straightforward, the tension and the heaviness of the first national aircraft carrier are overwhelming.

Duan Yihong's acting skills are good enough to make the audience feel the pressure and tension.

That's what a great actor is capable of.

Director Wei did not lay any groundwork.

After the office meeting was filmed, it seamlessly transitioned to the next scene, where Shao Chun and Commander He met in a sanatorium in the suburbs of Beijing.

Movies are not TV shows.

The TV series can be polished and filled with many details.

But not movies.

The requirement of movies for directors is that not a single frame should be wasted.

Because the time is limited.

It is not easy to tell a complete story within a limited time.

If the director particularly likes to sneak in some personal ideas within the limited time, or if the play is not about love, he must let the male and female protagonists have a love story.

The movie, which already has limited time, will almost certainly be a bad movie in the end.

Director Wei naturally understood this principle, so he tried to do subtraction as much as possible.

The words "Three Days Later" appeared on the screen.

Location: a sanatorium in the suburbs of Beijing.

General He, played by Chen Baoguo, is an old man whose condition is extremely serious.

He leaned against the headboard, his breathing was very obvious, but his eyes were sharp as an eagle: "Xiao Shao, when the Soviet Union collapsed, I went to Ukraine to select a carrier-based aircraft production line. The old director of the Black Sea Shipyard got drunk and hugged me and cried, saying that he had welded the keel of the 'Varyag' with his own hands..."

Before he finished speaking, General He began to cough violently.

Under the yellowed military uniform, the ripples of the heart monitor were beating wildly.

This is to inform the audience that General He is in poor health.

At the same time, it paves the way for the death of General He.

Don’t keep the fleeting youth, and don’t be sad about the loss of wind and flow in the forest.

Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

An old general always touches people's hearts more.

And when this old general, who is on his deathbed, asks you for a favor, it is often countless times more difficult to say no than usual.

Shao Chun held General He's trembling shoulders, but all he felt was a pile of bony bones.

This touch made Shao Chun excited.

General He grabbed Shao Chun's wrist with his backhand. The old man, who was already on his deathbed, now had a terrifying strength: "Ukraine is now going to dismantle it and sell it for scrap metal. An aircraft carrier is not a battleship, it is a mobile territory! Without an aircraft carrier formation, the drilling platform in the South China Sea will be a sitting duck! But once the country approves the foreign exchange and completes the procedures-"

The monitor issued a shrill alarm, and when the nurse rushed in, the old man's last murmurs mixed with blood foam splashed on Shao Chun's cuffs.

“…It’s too late.”

There was a loud thunder outside the window and heavy rain poured down.

Shao Chun looked at General He's fallen body, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

When Mr. Shao saw this, he subconsciously glanced at Director Wei in the dark.

Because that's not what happened at the time.

There is no such dramatic tension.

Director Wei naturally understood the meaning in Mr. Shao's eyes and explained in a low voice, "Art originates from reality and yet transcends it. This arrangement will help the audience quickly understand why you pushed forward this matter despite all the opposition, and why, even after encountering so many injustices, you still remembered your original intention."

Mr. Shao nodded.

It is undeniable that General He’s attitude did strengthen his choice.

Of course, the most important thing is his already burning patriotism.
