Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Just when he was so excited.

Chen Xiao had handed over the shooting location, the plan to build an ancient street and other materials to Secretary He and left the Ministry of Culture.

One hour later.

In the office of the Director of the Art Department.

Li Zhiming flipped through Chen Xiao's paintings one by one, and his heart was full of shock.

As the Director of the Art Department, he could see at a glance that these paintings were not blindly drawn, and they must have referred to a lot of literature.

The eaves of the Chinese-style buildings on the street are very particular.

Such an antique building may not be drawn by professors of history!

Turning to the last picture, Li Zhiming closed the file.

In addition to being shocked, a burst of excitement quickly emerged.

This street is very well designed!

With the development of science and technology and economy, the cultural attributes of modern society are too weak. Problems are prone to imbalance between economy and culture.

The country is vigorously supporting cultural construction.

This is also the reason why they shot a promotional video for opera.

The ancient buildings in the capital are demolished or renovated.

Building an ancient street that can bring people back to history is a great thing!

Maybe it can also help him show his face on the top.

Li Zhiming's eyes were full of smiles.

He has been in this position for eight years.

Perhaps, Chen Xiao can unexpectedly help him by shooting promotional videos and building ancient streets!

Thinking of this, Li Zhiming was excited.

He immediately picked up the phone and called his secretary,"Xiao He, regarding the construction of the ancient street, do as Chen Xiao said!"

After hanging up the phone, he picked up Chen Xiao's painting again and nodded with satisfaction.

The construction team will cooperate with the robot to build it, and it is estimated that it will be completed in one month.

I am really looking forward to the reactions of other directors and ministers after the street is built in a month.

He chuckled and put away the documents.

Chen Xiao, this kid, is really good!

After the short film is finished, give him some titles.

National first-class director, this title suits him very well.

If it is not enough, add an outstanding expert of the Ministry of Culture!

……

On the other side, Chen Xiao just got home, lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, rubbing his shoulders.

Counting the days, time is quite tight. The Chinese New Year will be in February next year.

The film must be ready around January 20th at the latest. After the Ministry of Culture reviews it, it will be broadcast on all platforms, just in time for the Spring Festival.

《The post-production of Farewell My Concubine is a little more difficult than Titanic, so one more week is left, and three weeks are left for post-production.

In other words, it should be finished by the end of December.

The shooting started at the end of November, and the time was very tight.

The key to finishing on time lies in the emotions of the actors.

Casting and training are very important.

When he was casting, in order to schedule the shooting, he specially selected actors with Peking Opera skills to audition.

Therefore, there is no need to let the actors train for six months in advance to learn Peking Opera like in the original world.

The focus of the training is to interpret history and understand the characters.

When the actors get into the play, the shooting speed will increase.

In addition, there is another task when training actors.

In this world, there is no Peking Opera master as great as Mei Lanfang.

《The Shu Guangxiu spinning dance and lying fish action in"The Drunken Concubine" is still in the classical dance and has not yet been integrated into Peking Opera.

But Cheng Dieyi's dance, coupled with the flying flyers, is quite beautiful.

If we want to film it, he can only bring innovation to the Peking Opera in this world.

During the training, go to the scene to teach this action in person.

Chen Xiao picked up his mobile phone, opened the memo, and sorted out the time plan again.

Casting on October 25.

Training actors from October 27 to November 19, waiting for the completion of the ancient street.

Rehearsal from November 23 to November 30.

Filming from December 1 to December 30.

Post-production from January 2 to January 22.

As for Cannes, just take time to go and receive an award.

It's really busy.

I don't know what kind of compensation the Ministry of Culture is going to give him.

Although he works for the country and promotes Peking Opera, he is still curious about what benefits he can get.

Director Li said that they are discussing it and he will probably give him news in a few days.

It was not easy for him to ask for it, so he could only guess.

As for money, the country's money comes from taxes, so it is definitely impossible for them to give him a few million like Jiahe did.

It is estimated that at most he can get a bonus as a token of his appreciation, and then give him a share of the broadcast revenue.

The share of the broadcast revenue is probably not small.

The country should be able to give some fame, status, and power.

These things are not bad, and sometimes they are more useful than money. With the Ministry of Culture as a backer, you can almost walk sideways in the domestic film and television industry!

Just when I thought of this, a chat message suddenly popped up on the top of the screen.

Unread messages 999+

Uh, I haven't replied to the chat messages today.

Let's take a look.

Open the chat software and take a look.

Titanic actor family (999+) director team (999+) production company (999+）

……

Oh my god.

Chen Xiao rubbed his brows, opened the group message assistant, and sent a message to all the crew members,"I'm busy today, so I'm sorry for the late reply. Thank you everyone, congratulations."

Then everyone replied privately.

……

In the evening, in a high-end restaurant,

Wang Zhan and Zhang Jianhua were having dinner together.

The two of them were smiling like two flowers.

Wang Zhan said with a smile:"Old Zhang, you Jiahe have also learned the tricks of our entertainment industry."

"Hmm? Which one?"

"Bribing the reporters."

Zhang Jianhua was a little confused,"What do you mean by bribing the reporters?"

Wang Zhan laughed,"This afternoon, especially after four o'clock, there were a lot of good things about Chen Xiao on the Internet. I didn't buy it, it must be you. Why are you hiding it from me?"

Zhang Jianhua was even more confused,"It really wasn't us."

Looking at his friend's innocent face, Wang Zhan slowly put down the red wine glass and frowned slightly.

If it wasn't Jiahe, then who bribed the reporter?

What he didn't know was...

Now among several major media in the capital, a rumor is circulating-Chen Xiao is from the Ministry of Culture!

The Ministry of Culture, the boss!

As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

I don't even have time to flatter him, so how dare I say a bad word!

As a result, a large number of flattering articles about Chen Xiao appeared on the Internet.

《Director Chen's magic! His light and shadow make time stand still》

《Director's magic! Three sentences can help actors improve by thirty years》

《Chen Xiao - The man who redefined eternity and diamonds》

《Music God Chen Xiao》

……

Although the title is exaggerated, it is not too long and is truthful, so it did not cause any disgust among netizens.

The matter of being shortlisted for Cannes was hotly discussed online.

Apart from the fans, others did not think that the crew could win an award at the film festival even if they were looking forward to it.

Amid such discussions, time quickly came to five days later.

On the 25th, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Chen Xiao drove into the Capital Art Theater. He parked in the parking lot and was about to get out when his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was the casting director Sun Guan.

When the call was connected, Sun Guan's anxious voice was immediately heard.

"Director Chen, my car broke down. I may be an hour late. Sorry. Director Fang, will you go today?"

On the other side of the phone, Sun Guan was sweating anxiously.

Today, we will select the actors for Master Guan, Na Kun, and Master.

All the candidates are national first-class actors!

According to the plan, the selection of the actor who plays Master Guan will start at 8:30.

That scene needs someone to play with.

To play with the old troupe owner, it is best to have someone who understands the play. Besides him, the only one who can take over is Director Fang.

Please, Director Fang must go!

"Well, he'll do it."

Hearing this, Sun Guan breathed a sigh of relief,"Director Chen, can Director Fang take over for me for a while?"

The other party paused for a moment and said cheerfully,"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

"Thank you! Thank you Director Chen."Sun Guan wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked him quickly.

After hanging up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful.

I really want to see the teachers who always have stern faces arguing over a role.

Please, the maintenance personnel come quickly, and the crew will slow down the audition!

……

In the parking lot of the Capital Art Theater.

Chen Xiao glanced at the call log helplessly.

What is Director Sun thinking?

The first scene is the scene where Master Guan teaches Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi a lesson. Duan Xiaolou kneels down to apologize to his master.

Director Fang's self-esteem is higher than the sky.

It's okay to let him accompany the actors for the audition. Asking him to kneel in front of his peers for the casting director will definitely make him upset later.

Forget it.

The casting director has something to do, so the chief director will take over.

He will play Duan Xiaolou and act with the old actor.

With the master-level acting skills, it will be easy for him to act with the old actor.

Chen Xiao picked up the backpack on the passenger seat and pushed the door to get out.

"Director Chen!"

Just as he closed the car door, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Looking back, Fang Rong was walking towards him with a smile.

"Good morning, Director Fang."

The two walked towards the opera hall together.

Fang Rong asked,"Today we will first try out the three roles of Master Guan, Master, and Na Kun, then the protagonist, and then the supporting role, right?"

"Right."

Chen Xiao nodded.

First audition the first-class actors to save them from waiting too long.

The audition time for each person was set.

It would start directly at 8:30.

When they were about to reach the opera hall, they met a man with half white hair.

Fang Rong waved his hand and reminded him in a low voice:"He is the first-class actor Lu Qi."

After that, he smiled and stepped forward, shook hands and said hello

"Lao Lu, you came so early!"

"Director Fang, thank you for your hard work."

The two had worked together before and were old acquaintances.

After a few simple pleasantries, Lu Qi looked at Chen Xiao,"Who is this?"

Fang Rong laughed,"You old man, you don't go online, right? I haven't seen a photo of Director Chen."

Lu Qi did not hide his surprise,"I heard you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so young. Director Chen is really young and promising, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Xiao shook his outstretched hand and chuckled,"Hello, Teacher Lu, you are too kind. I have watched your plays many times and learned a lot from them."

"Oh? Really?"

Chen Xiao nodded,"I've watched"Days in the Editorial Department" and the play"Thunderstorm" many times."

Lu Qi's eyes lit up and he said in surprise,"You like watching plays? That's rare!"

He immediately had a better impression of Chen Xiao.
