The retirement documents for veteran cadres issued by the central government have a great impact on film studios.
Don’t talk about Wang Yang, let’s talk about those old directors.
Among the four famous directors of Beijing Film Studio, Ling Zifeng is 65 years old, Cheng Yin is 65 years old, Shui Hua is 66 years old, Cui Wei has passed away, and the remaining three have reached retirement age. Because directors belong to the system, they are naturally subject to policy constraints.
Of course, the work of a director is special. Generally, as long as the body is healthy, one can continue filming, but gradually one has to take a back seat and give up opportunities to the young and strong.
By the early 1990s, it didn't matter anymore, but at that time the old director really couldn't make any more films - looking at it this way, Lao Mouzi's energy was really good, and he still maintained an average of one film a year in his 70s.
Xie Tieli is 57 years old this year, which is considered young.
After Cui Wei passed away, Xie Tieli wanted to come from behind and take the lead in Beijing Film Studio. He had a lot of authority and was followed by a group of photographers, artists, etc., and he had his own team.
At the moment, they are having a meeting to study "Bao and Sons".
This film is adapted from a novel, telling the story of a lower-class father who sends his son to school in the hope that his son will succeed and break through the social class. Of course, this is the interpretation of later generations. This film suddenly became popular in later generations and aroused many resonances.
The Stankang scalp oil inside has also become a classic.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in!"
Gong Xue pushed the door open and saw that a meeting was taking place. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. It's a bad time. I'll come back later."
"Xiao Gong, if you have anything to say, just tell me, there's no need to disturb you." Xie Tieli said with a smile.
"Well……"
Gong Xue hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Xie, can you come out?"
Xie Tieli was stunned, got up and walked out of the door, came to the corridor, and asked: "Xiao Gong, why do you want to talk alone?"
"I'm really sorry. Thank you for your concern for me, but I really can't spare the time. "Life is Beautiful" has been approved, so I'm going to start preparations immediately. I have two movies to shoot back-to-back, and I'm afraid of delaying your progress. In case I'm affected
The quality of your work, then I’m so sorry for you.”
Gong Xue took out the script of "Bao and Sons" and politely returned it.
"Oh, I really don't have time, just forget it, it's okay."
Xie Tieli felt a little unhappy, but didn't say anything, took the script and went back to the house.
"Director, what's going on?" the subordinate asked.
"Xiao Gongteng can't make time and didn't take this role. Find someone else."
He didn't take it seriously at first. It's common for actors to have trouble scheduling, but one person said, "Is Gong Xue going to film Chen Qi's movie?"
"Absolutely, she won't accept anyone else's films except Chen Qi's." Another person said immediately.
"Didn't you film "Mom Love Me Again" produced by our factory?"
"That was also written by Chen Qi. I guess it was because he was not good at filming, so he left it to the factory. What do you mean, he set up a company, put our name on it, used our staff and equipment, and even won over a group of people.
Help people and form a small group here.
Is this Beijing Film Studio still Beijing Film Studio? If things go on like this, his surname will become Chen!"
"Hey, you can't talk nonsense!" Xie Tieli scolded.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Director Wang Haowei, Director Li Wenhua, Sister Zhang Jinling... Anyway, they are a bunch of people. They have a very good relationship. What is this if not a small group?"
"They are all from Beijing Film Studio, but they ended up filming for outsiders. There is also Gong Xue, I have had problems with her for a long time. She is the most popular actor in our studio, right? Has she really filmed for our studio?
No one can help her!"
"Okay, don't talk about people behind their backs and continue with the meeting!"
Xie Tieli stopped them, but also frowned secretly, because this was indeed what happened.
After the establishment of Dongchang, various resources were borrowed from the factory. There were really many people who wanted to go, and the subsidies were high, two yuan a day. Wang Haowei was still close, Li Wenhua had completely defected there, and Chen Wenhua was
Strange person.
Not to mention Gong Xue.
Thinking of this, he also had an opinion. Isn't it unreasonable for you, an actor from Beijing Film Studio, to not first support the drama in the studio but to support outsiders?
…………
After the meeting, after lunch.
Xie Tieli had nothing to do and was walking around the factory area when he suddenly bumped into a colleague.
"Director Xie, I just wanted to tell you that there will be a meeting in the small conference room at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
"What's the meeting?"
"It seems that the shooting projects are scheduled for the second half of the year. Let's allocate them."
"Oh, okay!"
Xie Tieli nodded and continued walking. When he saw that the time was almost up, he walked to the main building and came to the small conference room. There were not many people, and they were all the director and his close assistants.
After a while, Wang Yang and several factory leaders came in.
“This year, our factory has been assigned a quota of 12 films, which is exactly 3 films per quarter. The filming tasks in the first quarter are progressing smoothly, and we are fully prepared for the second quarter.
Now there is a situation. Dongfang Company has two indicators every year that will bear the name of our factory. Recently, a project called "Beautiful Life" has been launched, and it is planned to start filming in the second half of the year, so we need to allocate personnel and equipment."
"Applicants for "A Beautiful Life" include directors, actors, photography, makeup, props, sound recording, lighting..."
These were all routine content, and no one had any reaction. But at the end, something suddenly popped up: "And three cameras!"
Buzz buzz!
There was a commotion in the conference room and it expanded rapidly.
You know, cameras are precious resources. Even a big company like Beijing Film Studio only equips each crew with one camera, which can only last two. Now "Life is Beautiful" suddenly needs three cameras, and other projects will inevitably suffer.
Influence.
"I object!"
Someone immediately spoke up and said: "I have been preparing for this movie for a long time, and it will finally start shooting in the second half of the year. Everything is ready, and there must be no delay! This was approved by your leaders, so you can't just say it!"
"The same goes for my film. If they want a camera, they can borrow it themselves. Why do we have to provide it?"
"That's right. Is there any reason to be open to outsiders?"
"I won't let you anyway!"
"I won't let you either!"
"Be quiet! Be quiet! I may not have made it clear. Some of the shots of "Life is Beautiful" were shot in mainland China, and some shots were shot in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has nothing to do with us, but the filming time in mainland China will not take too long. Three cameras
It’s not used all the time, only in some scenes.”
"That won't work! Who knows if they can finish filming on time? What if the camera is taken away and not returned?"
"Why are we accommodating outsiders' shooting plans?"
"Boss, this is a bit unfair!"
It was said that several leaders were actually looking at Wang Yang, knowing that he was very supportive of Chen Qi.
At this time, a senior director with a lot of experience said: "There is something I don't want to say. Old director, it's okay for you to care for young people, but don't be partial. You can't let us sacrifice to help others.
Bar?"
"..."
As soon as this statement was made, the matter was made clear.
Wang Yang coughed and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xie Tieli raising his hand. It was rare for him to speak. He was a great director. When he wanted to speak, everyone would pay attention. The room suddenly became quiet.
"I didn't want to say it, but since someone mentioned it, I will also share my opinion..."
(No more!)
