Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

It was four o'clock in the afternoon on October 1st.

The sky of the capital was cloudless.

The ground of the capital was jammed for ten miles.

Chen Xiao sat in the car wearing a mask and sunglasses, boredly looking at the young people shopping with ice cream and milk tea.

After half an hour of traffic struggle, he finally drove to a Chinese restaurant near the Ministry of Culture.

Under the guidance of the receptionist, he came to a private room.

After entering the door and bypassing the screen, he saw Li Zhiming making tea. It seems that he really likes to drink tea.

Li Zhiming heard the door open and turned around and smiled,"Director Chen, sit down."

When he saw Chen Xiao, he couldn't help frowning slightly, with a puzzled look on his face,"Director Chen, I haven't seen you for a month, why do you feel different?"

Although Chen Xiao was wearing long sleeves, he could still feel that his whole spirit and body shape seemed to have changed.

He was fat and thin, but full of strength.

Chen Xiao pulled out a rattan chair and sat down,"I signed up for a martial arts class and studied for more than 20 days."

A trace of surprise and appreciation flashed across Li Zhiming's eyes.

Look at this child, how good!

If you want to make a martial arts film, you have to really learn martial arts. Such a big change in 20 days, you must have worked hard.

I'm afraid you must practice from morning to night every day, and take a multi-pronged approach to diet, exercise and theory? You are really strict with yourself.

With this attitude, let alone the entertainment industry, just look at the entire literary and art world, how many peers can compare?

That's great, I wish this was my own child. Oh!

Suddenly I envy his dad a little.

Li Zhiming handed Chen Xiao a cup of tea and reminded him:"You should pay attention to proper rest. As a director, you just need to know a little bit. It's hard to reach the entry level, right?"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

It's hard to pretend to be at the entry level.

So he changed his master this month.

"It's okay. I'm making rapid progress. The master at the martial arts school said he can't teach me any more."

Li Zhiming smiled and thought he was joking, and said jokingly:"Okay, then you practice hard, and you can be the leading actor directly after you've practiced well."

Speaking of the leading actor, Chen Xiao turned around and took out a stack of documents from his backpack and handed them to Li Zhiming.

"Speaking of which, I brought the script with me, would you like to take a look?"

""Okay."

Li Zhiming took the script and glanced at the cover.

"《effort》"

He looked up and glanced at Chen Xiao, then looked at the two words again.

For some reason, these two words, coupled with Chen Xiao, always seemed to reveal endless sadness. It made people feel that the protagonist would eventually sacrifice himself for justice or lose his memory, or that his fellow apprentices would pass away.

Li Zhiming rubbed his brows.

He remembered what Xiao He said, that he must have"tragic PTSD".

He put down his hand and opened the script.

……

In the police station, a fight broke out and the policemen cowered.

The leader of the Crocodile Gang walked forward and roared,"Who else!"

He slowly took off his hat, pointed at the charming woman and said,"Such a beautiful woman was caught here by you just because she spit on the ground. Is there still law? Is there still law?"

Li Zhiming raised his eyebrows.

This, this is a comedy?

He looked up in disbelief,"Comedy?"

Chen Xiao nodded,"Well... no?"

Li Zhiming smiled and waved his hand,"No problem, it just feels a little different from your style."

After that, he continued to read the script.

Chen Xiao was left sitting there helplessly.

Comedy doesn't match his style? He is obviously an optimistic person, okay?

Nearly twenty minutes passed.

Li Zhiming put down the script and smiled with satisfaction:

"Very good! Very good!"

"Especially the last sentence,"If you want to learn, I'll teach you", which directly sublimates the whole film."

"This not only embodies the morality of martial arts, but also fits in with the spirit of our country! Our country pays attention to global common development, building and win-win, not hiding anything and not being stingy, and gathering strength for human progress. Very good!"

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded.

He sighed in his heart,"Tsk tsk, how else can you be an official?

You are a master of essay writing.

If you go to participate in a water obstacle course program and fall into the water, you can say that you have jumped into the torrent of the development of the times, right? Entering the water with both feet first means that what you learn on paper is shallow, and you must practice it to know it, right? You are worthy of being a leader.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, he heard Li Zhiming continue to ask:

"But what about the protagonist's name?"

"No name. The male lead has no name, and the female lead has no lines."

Li Zhiming repeated,"No name, no lines. Great!"

He closed the script, put one hand on the top of the script, and continued:"Then it's settled, let's shoot it like this. What's the budget?"

"The budget is estimated to be 150 million. However, this is mixed with some martial arts elements, not all traditional martial arts, so it is not good to ask the ministry to pay for it. How about I pay 90%？"

Li Zhiming smiled and said,"Come on, don't you just want to make money? Thank you for leaving 10% for the department."

He didn't care how much he invested. His goal was to promote culture, not to make money.

After making a joke, Li Zhiming put away his smile and put on a serious look,"You can make money, but don't miss a penny of the money you owe. In addition, there is another request. You can talk about cooperating with the department, but don't use it for publicity."

Chen Xiao nodded seriously,"No problem."

He understood Li Zhiming's difficulties.

This movie does not lack this gimmick, but Li Zhiming is afraid of this gimmick.

He has just been promoted and his position is not stable yet. It's okay to get performance, but it's better to stay out of the spotlight to avoid jealousy.

Li Zhiming continued:"For other matters, the old rules, find Secretary He. If you need a martial arts master, you can also ask him to invite him."

""Well, thank you, Minister Li."

The two chatted for a while, and then the dishes began to be served.

At half past five, the two left the restaurant and returned to the Ministry of Culture, ready to enjoy the premiere of"Interstellar" at the same time as countless audiences.

In the screening room on the second floor.

In stark contrast to the last time when everyone looked reluctant and reluctant to come, everyone was smiling at this time.

300 seats, except for those who have not yet arrived, are all full.

Xiao Xia, who just joined the company last year, was sitting in the second to last row with excitement.

I love this company!

Last time she watched"Farewell My Concubine" in advance, and this time she was allowed to attend the premiere of"Interstellar", which was hard to get a ticket.

For a Chen Xiao fan, this is simply the best reward besides money!

Just as she was thinking this, she saw a group of strangers walking in at the door, but they looked a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she widened her eyes. Isn't that Director Fang Rong?

The crew is here too?

In other words, Director Chen is here too?

Oh my God. Last time, because she had just started working, she was too embarrassed to ask for an autograph when she saw Director Chen sitting next to her boss.

But now she is no longer the same as before, and has become a veteran in the workplace with a bulletproof face!

I'm going to risk it, I must get an autograph!

Soon, in her expectant eyes, Chen Xiao and Li Zhiming walked in together and sat in the middle of the fifth row.

The lights dimmed quickly.

At home and abroad, in front of different screens.

Fans, passers-by, science fiction film enthusiasts, Chazelle, the director of the production department of City Entertainment of the United States and the chairman of the jury of the last Venice Film Festival, and countless others looked at the screen, waiting for the film to be shown.

18:00.

With a clang clang clang, the dragon logo with a green background appeared on the screen, and the film officially began.
