After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 234

[Chapter 233]

Tao Mu has always acted resolutely. Now that he has decided to be the producer of the mainland remake of “Black and White”, he asked Director Xu Musen to bring the screenwriter of “Black and White” to the capital that night. Tao Mu also invited Zhou Hong, the director of “The Great Wall of Flesh”, and the screenwriter team to serve as a consultant.

Sure enough, professionals go out, and the efficiency is different. Under the guidance of director Zhou Hong and screenwriter Fan, Tao Mu combined with various professional film critics he had seen in his previous life to give general direction revision suggestions. The script for “Black and White” took only a week to revise. Screenwriter Fan is best at adapting war dramas. The characteristic of classic anti-Japanese war dramas is that the plot is full of ups and downs. The original script of “Black and White” focuses more on the description of human nature. Whether it is the plot or the lines, the whole article is full of concise but thought-provoking fatalism. Now the strong alliance, the revised script not only echoes the main theme values, but also more sophisticated and capable in terms of lines.

A week later, Tao Mu went to visit the leader of Optoelectronics with the revised script. Tao Mu is a person with long sleeves and good dance, and is exquisite in all aspects. When it is used, it will not give people a tendency to “use people forward and not backward”. In addition, at the previous Lingxiao Award ceremony, Tao Mu left a good impression on the leaders of Optoelectronics. Therefore, after this meeting, Tao Mu took the initiative to propose that the script of the remake of “Black and White” had been reviewed, and the leadership of Optoelectronics was not too tough.

But he couldn’t help but drag Tao Mu to complain a lot.

“…You don’t know how difficult those people in Xiangcheng are. They have eyes and noses on their foreheads, and they can make a few movies and they are arrogant. They look down on mainland movies and feel that our mainland cultural system is useless. We spent The high price of asking the Xiangcheng production team to co-produce movies is not because they value the good development of Xiangcheng movies, so do you want to exchange money and resources for them to support mainland movies? In the end, how did they do it?”

“While looking down on us, I want to come to the mainland to make money. The same crew must be specialised. Even if it is an unknown third-rate star who comes from Xiangcheng, when they come to film a movie, they can’t wait to live in a five-star hotel. I look down on mainland actors and say they can’t act well in movies. TV series. It was said to be a co-production, but the male and female protagonists had to use their Xiangcheng people to save people, leaving only the corners and corners for us.”

As a result, it is not enough for the mainland to retreat to such a level. The Xiangcheng people can still make all kinds of moths: “…often unite to reject and bully our mainland actors. The most extreme thing is that they can even divide two lunch boxes. Treatment.”

So later, Optoelectronics issued a written document. It is clearly pointed out that in the co-production of Xiangchengwan Province and the mainland, mainland actors must play the main role. and various other clauses. The main purpose is also to protect mainland actors from being bullied by the Xiangcheng crew.

When it comes to script review, the leaders of Optoelectronics are even more resentful: “…things that clearly cannot pass the review. Not to mention their Xiangcheng movies, even if they are Hollywood blockbusters, we Optoelectronics treat them equally. If you can’t pass, you can’t pass. Isn’t this the same process for us to make movies in the Mainland? Why are they so noble from Xiangcheng? Asking them to change the book will make them full of complaints, shouting that we don’t understand the art of filmmaking and blindly directing them. To the end, they come up with a bunch of messy things to perfunctory. After the release, the response was not good, and we threw the blame on us.”

“We Optoelectronics are about to become the blame man!”

“When the people from Xiangcheng want to enter Hollywood, how can they take into account the different aesthetics and culture of foreign devils. Differences? When their films were not popular in Europe in country M, why didn’t they say that Europeans in country M don’t understand the art of film? Co-authored, we mainlanders don’t understand movies, right? Could the audience from all over the world be able to tell the difference? Waiting for three, six, nine? Huaxia coins are not worth M yuan or euros, right?”

“I think they are foreigners. They are bullying. They are looking down on us!

” With such a big size, our Huaxia consumer market has become the largest consumer market in the world. All over the world, people from any country who want to come to Huaxia to make money must abide by our rules. Follow the local customs, as it is right and proper.”

Tao Mu’s ability to supervise and produce such good TV series as “The Great Wall of Flesh” and “Fashion” at the age of nineteen is enough to prove Tao Mu’s ability. After all, the profession of a producer is not the same as that of an actor. Actors are relatively single skills, and only need to show their best side in front of the camera. Therefore, some actors who are “God’s food and eat” can make their debut as child stars, and their talent alone is comparable to the efforts of many people for more than ten years. In general, actors don’t need to think too much about teamwork. The biggest difficulty they face belongs to teamwork, probably playing against their opponents. As for the rest of the time, it is others who cooperate with them. In terms of teamwork, actors are relatively passive occupations. Even if you say a word in front of the media, you must take into account the opinions of the copywriter. This also leads to the fact that even the most glamorous star actor in front of the stage may not have the right to speak in the industry as a director who looks ordinary but has a solid foundation.

But the producers are different. Producers need to coordinate the overall situation. A competent producer needs to consider the budget of the crew and consider all aspects of the entire crew. It is also necessary to take into account the artistic and commercial value of the film. Nor is it a job that talent can do well.

If Tao Mu didn’t have more than ten years of work experience in his previous life, he probably wouldn’t be able to play the role of a producer. But others don’t know about Tao Mu’s adventure, they only see Tao Mu’s success.

What does a successful nineteen-year-old producer mean to a fledgling film market? At least in the eyes of the leaders of Optoelectronics, Tao Mu is definitely a young man worthy of cultivation. This can be seen from the fact that “The Great Wall of Flesh” and even Tao Mu himself became the biggest winner at the Lingxiao Awards ceremony. The leaders of Optoelectronics definitely had high hopes for Tao Mu.

Huaxia has a tradition of “heroes come out of youth” since ancient times. Even the most stubborn old antique will maintain a tolerant and gentle heart when facing young talents. What’s more, although Tao Mu is young, he is not arrogant. Although he is high-spirited, he is not arrogant. Being a person and doing things can make people feel comfortable. Optoelectronic leaders are also willing to train young people like Tao Mu.

They firmly believe that if there are more filmmakers like Tao Mu who promote the main theme and promote positive energy, why can’t the mainland film market develop?

“This time you can accept the supervisory job of the mainland remake of “Black and White”. It is also a good thing. You have to do it well, do it seriously, and let those people in Xiangcheng see the capabilities of our mainland filmmakers. Although our mainland film market has started It’s late, but we mainland filmmakers can also make good movies. They can’t make good movies in the mainland, not all because of the restrictions of the mainland’s cultural system, but also because they don’t care about it and haven’t considered it at all. The question of doing as the locals do.”

“China is a vast territory. Even if people from the south go to the north, they may be unaccustomed to the status quo. What’s more, cultural ideas?” The leader of Optoelectronics said: “If a mature filmmaker, only Shooting those prohibited themes. If you get rid of these vulgar gangsters, guns, pornography, gambling, drugs, you will no longer be able to make good works. Then how can we admit that he is a good filmmaker?”

The way of thinking of the leader of Optoelectronics is very simple. Our Chinese imperial examination system for thousands of years can write so many beautiful articles. Even the standard Baguwen has a classic inheritance in the world. Now I’m just asking you to write a propositional essay – I haven’t delineated the scope of writing for you, just warned you what you can’t write.

It’s impossible to do something so simple. It’s also our fault for the many restrictions we have given!

The leader of Optoelectronics patted Tao Mu on the shoulder and said earnestly: “You are still young and have great potential for development. Don’t learn some bad habits from those bad people. Complaining is full of complaints, and you can say 10,000 words when you complain. It’s not the same. Let them make a movie and they can’t even make 100 million yuan!” I’m

not complaining that this year’s Optoelectronics is not good, or that this year’s audience is not good. Anyway, the film is not good, that is, the whole world has no vision.

The leaders of Optoelectronics didn’t want Tao Mu to learn this kind of ethos at a young age. Instead, he should have a positive attitude and make more classic works such as “The Great Wall of Flesh”, which were applauded and well-received, and especially the main theme.

In order to express their support and encouragement, the leaders of Optoelectronics also carefully studied the script of the remake of “Black and White” brought by Tao Mu. After researching it carefully, I confirmed that there is no sensitive content that may be reported by others. It was given directly to the board.

After the script was over, the Optoelectronics leaders recalled the previous episodes of director Xiangcheng’s show, and couldn’t help but exhort: “When filming, you must follow the script. Don’t give us a set of scripts, you shoot. When the time comes, another set is made. The final review is still required before the final film is released. If you do this kind of operation, the film will not pass the review and the release schedule will be delayed, but don’t complain that we didn’t say hello in advance.”

Tao Twilight almost laughed. It seems that the leaders of Optoelectronics have also been psychologically shadowed by these sleazy operations. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even utter such a remark in front of his face with a spit and admonition.

Sounds like a real heartache.

What else could Tao Mu do? Of course, she obediently agreed. Said that as the producer of the mainland remake of “Black and White”, he must keep an eye on the crew and not mess around. Trying to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule.

“Then I wish you a great movie in advance.” The leader of Optoelectronics continued to pat Tao Mu on the shoulder and encouraged.

By the way, I secretly reminded Tao Mu that when he was supervising the remake of “Black and White” in mainland China, he must steal lessons from the Xiangcheng film team. Although the leaders of Optoelectronics hate some of the styles and habits of the Xiangcheng filmmakers, they have to admit that the production standards of the Xiangcheng filmmakers are still very good. Therefore, the leaders hoped that Tao Mu could steal from his teacher and learn his art, and then make a blockbuster movie that belonged to the mainland and was well received.

There are even leaders who have a whim, suggesting that Tao Mu can also make a movie version of “The Great Wall of Flesh”. I think the ratings of the TV series are so high and the reputation is so good. The audience base is so solid. And it’s also a blasting shootout scene. There’s no reason to compare it to the Xiangcheng shootout movie and Hollywood blockbuster, right?

Tao Mu was a little surprised. Follow the trend to remake big IP is the development direction of the mainland film and television industry in the next few years. Could it be that there have been signs since then?

Tao Mu smiled and agreed. Said that he will work hard to learn every day to improve. Most of the leaders who can hold power are in their 40s and 50s, even in their 60s and 70s. In their eyes, Tao Mu was about the same size as his own children and grandchildren. Elders like children who are humble, polite and well-learned. Tao Mu showed this side of himself, and he really got the favor of all the leaders.

So when the leaders wished Tao Mu’s movie a big sale, they also told Tao Mu not to ignore the shooting of “The King of Soldiers”. Someone mentioned: “Cooperating with the military to shoot a propaganda drama for conscription is also a political task. You must put more energy on this drama. If there is no way to balance it, you would rather relax your attention to “Black and White” The producer should also focus on making “The King of Soldiers” well.”

This can be regarded as a deep and sincere statement. Tao Mu understood.

However, when Tao Mu tried to propose that he wanted to invite the photoelectric leaders to dinner. The optoelectronic leaders refused without hesitation. The leaders said that they didn’t want to do the same thing in person, they disliked them for not understanding the artistry of the movie, and they always let the director of Xiangcheng, who took the blame for them, eat!

Tao Mu had never been in contact with this level before, so he really didn’t know that the two sides were so sick of seeing each other.

But even if there are many filmmakers complaining that the leaders of Optoelectronics are not good. However, Tao Mu still thinks the leaders are cute because of his own position. Just like their old man, although old-fashioned and stubborn, it is difficult to communicate sometimes. But as long as you find communication skills, you will find that these old grandpas are still very good at talking. The most important point is that the grandparents are very protective of their shortcomings. As long as you make up your mind to support someone, you will give the maximum tolerance and support within your authority.

And as we all know, Tao Mu, who has just become the biggest winner of the Lingxiao Award, is an obvious son. Backed by a big tree, it is good to enjoy the shade. Under the shadows, although Tao Mu knew that some of the review requirements of the bosses really limited the artistry and integrity of the movie, he still couldn’t say anything bad about the bosses. And he really thinks that the leaders of Optoelectronics are still very good at communication.

At least communicate better than those he’s experienced in his previous life.
