Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

His scalp instantly went numb, he took a breath of cold air, and asked with trembling lips:"He just showed his ID to the guard, right?"

"right"

"He is from the Ministry of Culture?"

The other reporter did not answer, but the two of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.

Fortunately, they did not say bad things about him before!

No wonder. No wonder the Ministry of Culture personally stepped in some time ago and published the article"On Popular Art and Film".

It turns out that the director is from the Ministry of Culture!

No wonder he can get the position of chief director at such a young age.

No wonder he is so talented at such a young age.

He is probably not only from the Ministry of Culture, but also a talent that the Ministry of Culture focuses on training.

The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

The reporter in blue clothes said with trembling lips:"Car, license plate number, don't talk nonsense"

""Yes, yes, yes, don't talk nonsense."

You can't talk nonsense, but you must report it to the leader immediately.

The two of them quickly took out their mobile phones and reported the scene they saw and the license plate number to the leader.

On the other side, Chen Xiao had already driven into the underground parking lot.

He got out of the car and took the elevator to the Art Department.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he happened to meet Secretary He, who was in charge of handing over to him.

"Director Chen, congratulations!" Secretary He came up to us with a smile.

"Thanks"

"The list of actors you sent me yesterday, all of them are willing to audition, do you think which day is suitable for arranging it?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment,"I'll tell you after the crew meeting."

"Okay, you can also send me the props, filming locations, extras, etc. that you need."

Chen Xiao nodded,"Yeah, OK."

The small props can be solved by yourself. For things like site selection, it is more convenient to let the Ministry of Culture come forward.

The two chatted while walking towards the meeting room.

As soon as they entered the door, a table of people in the room immediately stood up and congratulated with a smile:

"Congratulations to Director Chen!"

"Congratulations! You are young and promising!"

"Is this the 42nd domestic film to be shortlisted for the main competition? A debut film has achieved such a great success, which is beyond our envy."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Chen Xiao smiled and said,"Thank you." Secretary He stepped forward and said

,"Director Chen, let me introduce you. This is the casting director Sun Guan, who graduated from the Chinese Opera Academy."

……

After a brief self-introduction, everyone was basically familiar with each other.

Chen Xiao sat in the main seat,"Everyone is very busy, so let's get down to business. Today, we invite everyone here, first, to get acquainted with each other, and second, to discuss the next division of labor."

As he said, he gave a look to the staff next to him, asking them to distribute the documents to everyone present.

Chen Xiao's vigorous and resolute style immediately aroused a lot of goodwill.

Everyone thought that"Titanic" was shortlisted for Cannes today, and he would brag a little.

Unexpectedly, he remained humble and focused on his work. It's really rare, no wonder he has achieved such great success at such a young age.

However, when they got the five or six centimeters thick document, everyone was stunned.

What is this?

Why is it so thick?

As if seeing the confusion in everyone's hearts, Chen Xiao explained:"This is a storyboard script, some scene design drawings, and a prop list."

After that, he looked at the casting director Sun Guan,"Director Sun, are you free on the 25th?"

"some"

"Then the audition will be scheduled for the 25th."

"No problem."Sun Guan smiled and noted the time.

Chen Xiao looked at Fang Rong again.

Fang Rong was the art director, and he was in charge of the scenery and props.

Next, he had to have a good chat with him and ask him to keep an eye on the props, the construction of the ancient street, etc.

"Director Fang, I have selected some locations for the scenes, including Prince Gong's Mansion and the former site of Fu Jen Catholic University. I'd like you to contact Secretary He later."

"No problem!"

Fang Rong nodded and turned the document to the site selection page.

His eyes were full of appreciation.

These places were very well chosen!

Unexpectedly, working with this young man would be so smooth.

Chen Xiao continued:"In terms of the scene, there is one more thing. I want to build a street"

"Well, OK." Fang Rong answered casually. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind.

Wait a minute, what did he just say?

At the same time, the other nine people present were also stunned, staring at Chen Xiao motionlessly as if they were acupunctured. What did he say?

Build a street?

What is a street? The name of a sculpture?

It can't be a real street, right?

Chen Xiao didn't notice their abnormality. He lowered his head and turned the document to the manuscript page, and said as he turned the page:"The location of this street is……"

"Wait, wait, Director Chen." Fang Rong raised his hand to interrupt

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"What you just said was... you want to borrow a street, right?" Fang Rong deliberately emphasized the word"borrow" and stared at Chen Xiao closely.

Chen Xiao shook his head calmly,"Build, build an ancient street."

In the conference room, there were bursts of inhalation sounds instantly.

Fang Rong couldn't help but frown slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said:"Director Chen, there are many Republican-style streets in the existing photography bases. We can borrow them."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said,"Too new, not real enough."

The streets in the film and television city are newer than the other, and are painted more beautifully than modern towns.

After watching it, the audience will feel that it was very happy to live in that time.

He wants to show history.

There is a real history of frozen bones on the road.

Fang Rong frowned and sighed,"But... building a street is different from building a ship. When you built the Titanic, there were drawings provided by the expedition team and the shipyard. To build a street a hundred years ago, you have to examine a lot of documents, which is very difficult."

Building a street is not just about building the exterior of the street. We also need to build the theater troupes, brothels, photo studios, theaters that appear in the film... This project is too large.

Chen Xiao smiled and said,"No, look at the next page, where the street map is, and build it according to the picture."

Fang Rong was stunned.

Next page?

Did Chen Xiao look for photos on the Internet?

He lowered his head and turned the page.

Looking at the image on the paper, Fang Rong's eyes widened instantly.��

Is this a design drawing?!

The others also turned to the street map.

The conference room was filled with gasps again, followed by the sound of pages turning.

Fang Rong stared at the manuscript in front of him, and a sense of history came over him.

The picture shows two long streets intersecting. There is a teahouse at the intersection. At the door, an old-fashioned mailbox stands at the fork in the road. A huge photo of Yuan hangs on the second floor. Electric wires crisscross above the building.

Turn the page again.

In the two-story theater, the stage, stairs, seats, and even the slogans and murals on the wall are painted vividly. In the center of the stage hangs a plaque with the words"Prosperity Vowels". The height of the columns, the bay, and the depth are clearly marked on the picture.

Fang Rong flipped through the pages one by one. After reading the last one, he took a deep breath and was shocked.

The style of these manuscripts is exactly the same as what he saw in the literature! And it fits the atmosphere required by the script very well.

How could it be drawn in less than half a month?

He raised his head slowly,"Director Chen, did you draw this while reading documents these days?"

Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hands,"How is it possible? I'm a history enthusiast, and I can draw. I've designed similar scenes before."

Fang Rong's mouth twitched.

History enthusiast?

How come you like everything...

Not only do you like everything, but you also know everything!

Screenwriting, directing, drawing, composing, opera knowledge, and even scene design!

As the saying goes, there are top talents in all 360 professions.

What about him?

There are top talents in all 360 professions!

It's ridiculous.

Don't tell him that Chen Xiao can also sing.

Thinking of this, Fang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a smile.

Singing is a ten-year skill behind the scenes.

How could Chen Xiao be so good at it?

If Chen Xiao really knew how to do this kind of skill, he could just die on the spot!
