Chapter 214 Finding an Assistant Director for "Top Gun"(1/2)

214 Find an assistant director for Top Gun

After Chen Fei returned from Hongyanchang Station, he turned a blind eye to the outside world and focused on writing the script.

The script of "Top Gun" is more difficult to write. Unlike the scripts I have written before, it basically just typed out the words. Many settings of "Top Gun" need to be changed and many details need to be re-examined, so this process took him a lot of time, almost a week.

It can even be said that he created this script himself, because many things in the original drama cannot be copied at all, so he can only be recreated.

Especially the storyboard script, he drew one by one, completely original, because the original drama tells the story of the American Air Force, and now, Chen Fei can only change it to the Air Force's aviation force and has no aircraft carrier, so many storyboard scripts have to be re-created.

After writing the script, Chen Fei took a short rest for a day and then began to prepare for the film "Top Gun".

The first thing he did was to find an assistant director.

The director of this movie is the nominal director, and he is also the one who really controls the crew, but he still starred, and he has a lot of messy affairs. The Shawshank of the United Nations also needs him to check, so those miscellaneous affairs can only be handed over to the deputy director. The director of the name is the director, but the person who really does the work is the deputy director.

He has worked with many assistant directors before, one of them in "The Story of the Cooking Team" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", and another one in "Wolf Warrior" later. These people have a happy cooperation with him, but now they are full of wings and are working hard for their careers. They have no time to help Chen Fei again, so he can only find them again.

The deputy director he found was still very demanding. First, he should be young and strong. To put it bluntly, come to his crew and have a very strong work intensity? Be a cow and horse? Like a livestock, you have to take care of everything? If you are older, you can't stand it.

In addition to being healthy, you can't be too poor. If you can't even understand a storyboard script? You can't even understand some of the requirements he said? Then... Chen Fei would never want it. That kind of person can only be a drag. The director he wants must at least be the strength of a national third-level director.

In addition to the above two points? Another point is also very important? That is to be obedient. What Chen Fei says is what he says, rather than being self-righteous and taking his own initiative.

Many directors have a desire to control themselves and are very strong? Many directors think that they are the best ones, and everyone in the crew must listen to their own things.

Once such a person comes to the crew, it will definitely have conflicts with Chen Fei, or even friction and conflicts. This will have a very bad impact, which will affect Chen Fei's authority on the one hand? On the other hand, it will drag down the shooting progress.

So Chen Fei wants to find an assistant director who is capable, obedient and can work as hard as an old ox?   It is not easy.

Of course? The gains from being an associate director for Chen Fei are also huge. Not to mention that he can learn a lot of experience and skills from Chen Fei in this process. The script Chen Fei wrote for them alone is a priceless treasure. Everyone who comes to being an associate director for Chen Fei will repay at least one script. Of course, he wants to invest. For example, the one who first cooperated with Chen Fei has now become the king of special forces. The TV series he is filming now has almost made one hit and one hit. As for Wang Tong, her art films have made great achievements internationally. Now she is filming a movie, which has attracted considerable attention.

So it would be a loss for the coolie who had worked for Chen Fei for a while.

Chen Fei stroked the director he knew from beginning to end, but couldn't find a suitable one. After thinking about it, he called Lin Chao and said, "Lao Lin, I want to find a new director to be my assistant director. Do you have any suitable recommendations here?"

"Associate Director?" Lin Chao was stunned on the other end of the phone, and soon, he jumped out of the bed.

Because of his movements, he directly lifted the female companion who was lying on him off the bed.

Because her female companion was too tired, she lay on him and squinted her eyes like a kitten to rest. At this moment, Lin Chao suddenly turned over and got out of bed and pushed her to the ground. She let out a scream, which made Chen Fei feel excited.

However, Lin Chao didn't care and discussed it with Chen Fei naked, ignoring the female companion.

"Your movie is really called "Top Gun"?" Lin Chao asked.

Chen Fei's live broadcast was a lot of trouble the previous two days, and he naturally knew it, but he was a little unbelievable. How could Chen Fei make such a big deal like a joke? The theme and the name of the movie were agreed with netizens.

You know, doing this is equivalent to putting yourself in shackles, and it is very difficult to create. As a director, what you are most afraid of is the topic essay, but Chen Fei took the initiative to ask for the topic essay, and in front of millions of netizens across the country.

This is incredible. People who dig a hole for themselves and draw a jail. Those who do this are either trying to die or are really awesome.

Looking around the country, there are only one or two people who dare to do this like Chen Fei. Anyway, Lin Chao dare not play like this.

After receiving a positive answer, Lin Chao said directly: "Forget it, don't find any assistant director, I'll do it with you!"

"Top Gun" is an air combat film, which is a film about pilots, and is filmed with pilots flying planes in the sky to fight the enemy. This kind of movie has never been seen in China.

Lin Chao has been filming movies for so many years, but he has never been involved in air combat films. He is very curious and has a strong desire to get a glimpse of the truth. Therefore, when he hears Chen Fei's words, he wants to participate.

Moreover, Chen Fei is a great guy. Every movie he has invented a miracle. The last time in "Wolf Warrior" had a national box office of 10 billion. Damn, 10 billion. No matter how awesome the other directors are, they are only 60 billion or 7 billion at the best. However, Chen Fei pushed the box office record to 10 billion. Including the global box office, he made almost 20 billion in "Wolf Warrior". This ability - really awesome - is too big.

So he really wanted to follow Chen Fei to have a big fight and set another record.

He had a vague feeling that Chen Fei's filming "Top Gun" this time will definitely create a bigger miracle!

However, after hearing this, Chen Fei refused and said, "Forget it, don't you? Haven't you been filming "The Decisive Battle" these two days? We have a conflict in time."

Lin Chao has been filming an action film called "The Decisive Battle", which tells the story of a veteran and a group of blackboard elements fighting to the death. At this time, the filming work is in full swing, and Chen Fei's movie must start filming immediately because he promised the other party that the movie must be released before tomorrow's recruitment work begins in order to lay some groundwork and publicity for next year's pilot recruitment.

According to the military's requirements, from next year, our army's aviation university will expand its enrollment on a large scale, and a large number of high school graduates will need to apply for aviation university, so time will definitely not be delayed.

Therefore, Chen Fei refused after hearing this.

Even if Lin Chao can agree to that matter, can those investors agree to it?

The director is not that free, he has to be responsible to investors.

So it’s really too much for movies like Chen Fei to invest in and be a director and star in it. Mom is so happy, just play whatever you want?

But how many people can be as happy as him in the world?

And to be honest, Chen Fei didn't want Lin Chao to join. That guy was also a lunatic when he made movies. He was very strong and his mind was full of ideas. Once he had any ideas, he had to do it according to his requirements. If Chen Fei was just an actor, it would be fine, but he was still a director, he would definitely have his own ideas. If Lin Chao had another idea, it would definitely have a conflict. Both of them belonged to the one who would not let anyone go in the movies, so it would be troublesome.

Lin Chao listened to Chen Fei's words and said disapprovingly: "It's okay, the most important part of my film has been filmed. I'll just let the assistant director take the lead!"

But he couldn't finish his words because the woman who was lifted out of bed by him was anxious when she heard this. She was an investor. If Lin Chao left her movie and ran away with Chen Fei, what would she do? What should she do with her movie? She must not let Lin Chao leave, so she rushed over and hugged Lin Chao: "Chao, don't, don't!"

Lin Chao was stunned.

The girl squatted down.

After a moment, Lin Chao widened his eyes, let out a whimper in his throat, his whole body tensed, and strange syllables were emitted in his nose.

Lin Chao hung up the phone directly.

Half an hour later, Lin Chao called back and his voice was weak: "Okay, Chen Fei, it seems that our time is really bad. Then let's work together next time, this time..."

After thinking for about four or five seconds, he said, "I know someone you are talking about. His name is Jiao Jun. He is about 28 years old this year. He has been a director since he graduated from college. He has made some commercials and documentaries before, and has also made some small-cost movies later, but it is not very successful. This guy has a strong directing ability. His only weakness is that he has some shortcomings in grasping the market and the audience. But if you are an assistant director, I think this is not a problem."

"Then give me his phone number and address."

"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

Chen Fei soon received the prestige sent by Lin Chao.

However, he was not busy looking for Jiao Jun, but first checked his information online.

This little guy is really good.

He is actually not a natural resource. He is from a rural area, has a poor family condition, and is not smart. He has worked hard since childhood, but he is a student who is very hardworking but still has average grades. He is down-to-earth, serious, and hardworking, but his mind always doesn't turn, so his grades have always been mediocre.

But it is precisely because of this characteristic that even though he was born in the countryside and had no potential to be a director, he still resolutely applied for the Film Academy during the college entrance examination. He failed the first year, so he continued the exam the second year, and only then he was barely on the line in the third year.

After graduation, because he had no background or qualifications, he could not get the opportunity to direct movies or TV series. In addition, his life was under great pressure, so he took on many commercials and even made some shameful films for some wild models.

Gradually, he accumulated experience, gained a certain popularity, and gradually seemed to have become aware of it, so his career improved a little and he began to get some works of low-cost.

But overall, he is still not successful compared to those young talents who have achieved success.

The reason why a great director like Lin Chao knows him was entirely accidental.

After Chen Fei looked at it, he thought Jiao Jun was pretty good, so he wanted to go and have a look at it himself.

On this day, he drove an off-road vehicle worth more than 200,000 yuan to the Capital Cinema.

Jiao Jun was filming there, and he had a small-budget movie that was ending.

The car was bumpy, stopping and stopping, and it took a while to arrive at the Capital Cinema in the suburbs.

When he drove the car into the parking lot, the parking security guard was stunned: "Brother Fei?" Soon, he shouted in surprise: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei is here!"

This sentence was like a ignited fuse, which instantly detonated the entire cinema.

At the gate of the Capital Cinema, a large number of extras gathered every day, bustling with people, here and there, plus crews and other staff, or tourists, there are many people.

When the news of Chen Fei coming spread, in just a moment, the entrance of the cinema was filled with shoulders, and a large area was covered with darkness, and there was no road left.

After hearing the security guard's report, the cinema manager immediately rushed over regardless of everything, running out of breath, his straight suit was wrinkled, and his forehead was sweating.

The manager quickly brought a group of security guards to Chen Fei.

"Brother Fei, are you here?" The 48-year-old cinema manager, who was already bald, looked at Chen Fei with a flattering smile.

"Well, where are they?" Chen Fei asked.

He had contacted the cinema before coming here, but he asked the manager to keep it secret and he wanted to go over and take a look.

"Brother Fei, he is here, come with me."

The manager leaned forward and led the way. More than a dozen security guards were responsible for opening the road. After some trouble, he finally brought Chen Fei to the cinema.

"Brother Fei, here."

The manager smiled and pointed in a direction.

After walking for about four minutes, the group finally arrived at the location of Jiao Jun's crew.

"Fei...Brother Fei?" Jiao Jun's eyes were very good, and he soon discovered Chen Fei. Of course, there was no way that so many people came in a storm.

"You guys keep going, I'm just passing by." Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Okay Brother Fei." Jiao Jun nodded hurriedly.

He turned around and continued to direct the filming.

Chen Fei then stood by and watched, and the people following him stood further away, watching quietly. Although there were many people, they were quieter than before.

Jiao Jun guided him for a while, and then he realized that Chen Fei was still standing there: "Hmm?" He was stunned.

Could it be that something is wrong with me?

He frowned.

In his heart, he stroked the several shots he had just taken from beginning to end, but... it was no problem...
To be continued...
