Although Hou Shenyue was severely beaten by Director Chu's words, he still endured everything honestly and did not dare to complain. Who told him to act recklessly, and now he will not lose a piece of meat when he is said a few words, and the director is right.
Hou Shenyue still has some skills, he made progress under the pressure of the director, and even attracted the attention of Wang Toyota.
Wang Toyota does not come to the place to set up a team every day to prepare, he looked at the brand new Hou Shenyue, and suddenly felt that he should be treated with admiration for three days: "Shenyue, you are not bad, now the ability to understand the script has become stronger. , maybe I can get a prize..."
Chu Xiaxing sat next to him and drank tea silently. If she hadn't wanted to force the other party to rush for the prize, she wouldn't have been so concerned.
Hou Shenyue waved his hands in a hurry, and said humbly: "How could I win the award, I haven't reached that level yet, Teacher Wang is joking..."
Wang Toyota said easily: "Oh, sometimes winning an award is an instant thing. This year, it's your turn. It's not as difficult as you think."
Because there are all the core creators of the crew in the house, and Wang Toyota is friendly and kind, so other people also gossip in their spare time and inquire curiously: "Mr. Wang, will there be a shady scene in winning the award? I'll take a look at it. The best actor of the year was scolded fiercely by netizens, saying that there is a lot of water in the awards now."
Wang Toyota: "I said it's not unrealistic at all, but it's all shady and biased, it's just a game process."
"What do you mean?" Others felt confused when they heard the words, and always felt that they didn't say anything.
Chu Xiaxing explained calmly: "It means that it's normal for one or two awards to be hacked, but if you can't get any awards for many years, it's purely business ability."
Wang Toyota nodded with a smile: "Yes, Director Xu didn't leave the Golden Show Awards angrily back then, but it didn't prevent him from winning other awards overseas. People occasionally suffer unfair treatment, but they won't always be dusty. "
In the early years, the capital of Hong Kong and Taiwan was relatively strong, and it was difficult for mainland actors, directors and screenwriters to have a say. They all rose with the prosperity of the mainland film and television industry, but they all experienced exclusion and suppression at that time. However, a person's life is very long. If it is yours, it cannot escape, it will always come back to you.
Hou Shenyue heard Wang Fengtian mention Director Xu, and he said carefully: "...Mr. Wang, is your relationship with Director Xu good or bad?"
Wang Fengtian often tramples on Xu Xiancheng, but listening to the tone of his speech just now, it is not that he looks down on Xu Xiancheng.
Wang Fengtian sighed: "Sigh, we only have friction in artistic viewpoints, but we are still creators in essence. In fact, whether it is Director Xu or the late Director Chu, they are all very pure people. The work is done…”
"Creators will have small conflicts, but they don't have deep blood feuds, because we are all competing with other things, which is a huge force outside artistic creation..." Wang Toyota said helplessly, "You must have money to create creations in this industry. But I've been fighting money, or capital, my whole life."
"The talent is so outstanding that such a director will lose everything, let alone other people? You don't know how much pressure I have to be the producer of "Wu Dao", things are okay now, but who can be 100% sure of making money? ? This is completely a metaphysics, no one dares to guarantee not to pay."
Many works were well received but not well received. Xu Xiancheng has made films with high reviews but dismal box office, which makes people puzzled. Everyone thinks the movie is good, but no one buys a ticket.
Zhou Xuelu: "But I haven't paid for director Chu Xiaxing when I read online..."
Zhou Xuelu is now making up for gossip on the Internet. She will read some gimmicky articles when she has nothing to do. The titles are all exaggerated content such as "The director who has never lost money in history", adding a lot of strange knowledge.
Wang Toyota was stunned: "Director Chu is really cautious in the circle, but it can't be said that she has never fallen. She is the kind of director who doesn't sign a contract and doesn't do anything. The only time she didn't sign a contract was..."
Chu Xiaxing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "..." This kind of seniority is trouble, can you know everything
When Chu Xiaxing heard Wang Toyota gossip about himself, he couldn't help but scold that there were no secrets in the film and television industry. The only time she overturned was when she ran to Yanchuan City without signing a contract, collided head-on with an existence she couldn't control, and suffered a lot.
Before Wang Fengtian could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Someone came in and reminded, "Mr. Wang, you should go over there."
"Ah, I'm going to meet people from various companies. Let's chat another day. It's fun to gossip occasionally!"
Wang Toyota's work is extremely busy, everyone waved goodbye to him, and re-entered the script.
Zhou Xuelu noticed Chu Xiaxing's recent attention to Hou Shenyue, she couldn't wait to brush up her presence, and pretended to wink innocently: "Director Chu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, it just so happened that Xia Hong said that he would come here, otherwise everyone will be together. Have a meal…”
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes, then call Ningning and Jingjing later, do you want Xiao Cao to be together?"
Cao Yangang said readily: "Yes! The boss has spoken!"
Hou Shenyue heard their gossip next to him, and he took the initiative to propose: "I'll invite everyone to dinner, I've been taking care of you all the time."
When Chu Xiaxing heard this, she gave him a suspicious glance, always feeling that Hou Shenyue had other plans: "..." Is this trying to gain Ningning's favor
Zhou Xuelu gave Hou Shenyue an equally displeased look: "..." Is this trying to brush Director Chu's favor
Zhou Xuelu: Why do people always try to get my job? The road to the top right now is so hard!
Not long after, Xia Hong also appeared at the door of the building. He enthusiastically gathered everyone and arranged for everyone to go to the restaurant one after another. Zhou Xuelu said strangely, "You didn't drive your own car today?"
Xia Hong was counting the heads of people at the scene carefully, and explained, "I came here in Song Wenye's car, and the company's car will arrive later. It should be able to seat so many people."
Chu Xiaxing said in surprise, "He's here too?"
Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye were now friends. When they were busy, they tacitly avoided disturbing each other, and occasionally greeted each other.
Xia Hong: "He said something happened at night, I don't understand either!"
Han Chuning came downstairs, and she looked around, "Which car are we taking?"
Hou Shenyue said with understanding: "If President Xia's car can't fit, you can take my team's car."
Chu Xiaxing cut off the other's wishful thinking with a blank face, and said decisively: "Ningning, you follow me."
Han Chuning: "...Okay."
Hou Shenyue: "..."
Hou Shenyue looked at the lively team, and asked again tentatively, "Should we call Teacher Wang?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Mr. Wang has an appointment tonight." She originally said to chat with Wang Toyota about production, but he apologized that he had something to do tonight and had already made an appointment in advance.
Chu Xiaxing and other main creators happily went to the restaurant to build a team building, while Wang Toyota went to an appointment alone after the meeting and went to a nearby tea room. He looked at the handsome and handsome man in front of him, smiled and said with emotion: "Mr. Song, you are really persistent."
Wang Toyota is now cooperating with Fanke Films recommended by Song Wenye, but this is not the reason why the two first met.
Song Wenye sat calmly at the table. He had already approached Wang Toyota several times, but every time he was politely rejected, he still refused to give up easily, and said neither humble nor arrogant, "Mr. Wang, you are an authentic Yanchuan. Man, I believe you also hope that there will be a little change in your hometown."
Wang Fengtian took a sip of the tea in the cup, he sighed and said frankly: "It's because I'm from Yanchuan that I know how difficult this is. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm not capable..."
Yanchuan City is a small and poor place. The economy has not developed for many years. Of course, Wang Toyota is looking forward to changes in his hometown, but he knows the customs and habits of his hometown well, and he also knows the difficulty of building.
Song Wenye said in an orderly manner: "Actually, you don't have to worry about the management of the film and television city. You are from Yanchuan, and that is the benchmark. As long as there are continuous literary and artistic works mentioning Yanchuan, the film and television city will naturally be on the right track, not to mention that it has already been built in the past. Halfway through…”
Wang Toyota lowered his eyes slightly, and he interrupted kindly: "Mr. Song, do you know the reason why Yanchuan Film and Television City could only be built in half?"
Song Wenye was silent for a moment, he seemed to recall the night sky of Yanchuan again, and said hoarsely: "...I know."
More than he knew, he had experienced it all.
Wang Fengtian: "It's good if you know. In fact, there were many benchmark figures in Yanchuan Film and Television City back then. There were even big names in the industry who were more powerful than me who went to Yanchuan, but she didn't understand it..."
Song Wenye was stunned when he heard the words, his eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he hesitated: "But I haven't read the relevant materials and documents?"
Song Wenye has always wanted to restart the construction of Yanchuan Film and Television City. He has read all the project materials for a long time, and he has not found any famous bigwigs in the circle.
Wang Toyota: "Because she didn't sign a contract at that time, Xu Dao's wife drove to pick her up when she left. The whole process was quite low-key, and not many people knew it."
Song Wenye humbly asked for advice: "Which teacher went to Yanchuan at that time?"
If it is a master who is more powerful than Wang Toyota, and the other party has contacted Yanchuan Film and Television City early, it may be a more suitable candidate.
Wang Fengtian glanced at him with a smile: "You want to invite her? It's a pity you came late, that's the late Director of Chu."
"Mr. Song, I advise you to dispel the idea of Yanchuan Film and Television City. Director Chu didn't turn the plate back then, which means that Director Xu would not have the courage to pick it up, and neither of them would be able to play the project, let alone. Someone can figure it out." Wang Fengtian urged earnestly, "The water in Yanchuan was too deep back then, and no one dared to go casually."
The construction of Yanchuan Film and Television City involves a huge network of interests, and it is no longer an existence that ordinary literary and artistic creators can control. Xu Xiancheng, Wang Toyota and other veterans knew the inside story, but they were not confident that they could surpass Chu Xiaxing, so they naturally avoided it.
Song Wenye's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard the words, but a flash of light flashed in an instant. He politely whispered, "Thank you for telling me this, but this is my father's last wish."
Seeing that he was so persistent, Wang Toyota could only sigh helplessly, not knowing how to persuade him again.
The meeting between the two in the tea room didn't alarm anyone, Song Wenye left quietly, and Wang Toyota returned to the crew as usual.
After the preliminary preparations for "Wu Dao" were completed, the day of the official launch finally ushered in. The cost of Wang Toyota's film project is not low, and the shooting time is as long as 7 months, surpassing the production of many TV series. The outside world also has high hopes for the film. Hou Shenyue's acting skills are not bad in the traffic niche, and it is the script of the master Wang Toyota, which sounds very reliable.
The opening ceremony of the movie was quite lively, but as the saying goes, extreme happiness leads to sadness, and the crew encountered an accident not long after the filming started.
A huge heat wave exploded near the set, bringing a violent and scorching strong wind!
Chu Xiaxing felt wrong sitting next to the monitor, she stood up abruptly, loudly dispersed the crowd, and shouted: "Disperse, all disperse! Don't pierce that way!"
Hou Shenyue was still filming, but at this moment he hurriedly said, "Director, what happened?"
Everyone was filming in an orderly manner on the set, but an explosion suddenly sounded not far away, causing the staff to look at each other in dismay. This sound can be described as terrifying and daunting. Unexpected things happen every day in the crew, so many people are superstitious about the opening ceremony, lest there will be an accident.
Chu Xiaxing secretly thought that it was not good. Because the crew had too many blasting scenes, and the weather was hot now, it was possible that some of the equipment used for blasting had an accident, which caused such a big commotion. She didn't have time to appease Hou Shenyue, so she hurried over to check without looking back: "Go to a safe place to avoid, and tell others to stay away!"
Hou Shenyue said in shock: "Director Chu, don't go there, it's probably very dangerous..."
Who knows if there will be another explosion in the future, what if Chu Xiaxing is injured
Chu Xiaxing said lightly: "No one else can go, but I have to go. You call the director of production, and it is estimated that there are insurance issues."
Everyone else can panic, but if Chu Xiaxing ran away now, the scene would be completely without a leader. If no one moves forward, other personnel will not be willing to take risks, there must be the first person.
The director is the boss of the crew, so he has to be responsible to everyone, otherwise what is the boss called
Chu Xiaxing skillfully took some safety measures for himself, and brought along the experienced crew members to probe the scene of the explosion cautiously and carefully. She didn't guess wrong. The blasting team encountered some troubles, but luckily it was only injured, and everyone's life was at stake.
The "Wu Dao" crew responded very quickly, proceeding in an orderly manner through the treatment and insurance procedures, and at the same time doing some follow-up personnel processing.
The only problem now is that the executive director was affected by the shock, and the other party couldn't return to shooting immediately.
After Chu Xiaxing visited the injured, he faced the problem of finding the executive director. "Wu Dao" has officially started filming, and it is not so easy to temporarily find people who are familiar with the project.
