065 Arrogant Capital
When Wei Xun said he wanted to fire the photographer, everyone understood that he was taking advantage of the problem.
It seems that the photographer is taking the blame, but in fact, Li Chengzhou and Zou Min who are standing next to him are the ones who are truly facing Wei Xun's artillery fire.
If this photographer is really opened today, then Zou Min will completely lose his dominance in the crew in the future.
Is a producer who has no power to be considered a producer?
So when both Li Chengzhou and the photographer came over, Zou Min knew that he could no longer tolerate it.
"Wei Xun, how to direct a film should not be decided by the deputy director, but... but the screenwriter or starring actor should not be decided by the finalist, right?"
Zou Min took a deep breath and tried her best to make her tone not particularly violent: "I have never questioned your creative ability, but Director Li is a leader in the director industry and has also been recognized by authoritative awards in the industry. He controls the camera and can ensure that the films he shoots will not have quality problems. After all, you do not have experience in this area."
Wei Xun sneered: "I have no experience in writing scripts before, but Times Pictures and Huaying Media still chose to invest in "No Questions on the West", and the script was able to start filming so smoothly, first of all, because it touched Zhai Qing."
Zou Min's breath was slightly suffocated.
She felt that although Wei Xun was a little talented, she was too young and arrogant, and she was simply unreasonable.
Listen to this, I have never written a script before, and the first time I wrote a script, I can impress Zhai Qing, but the question is which director in the circle can hold a blockbuster with a directorial boot for the first time?
What's more, the film "No Questions" is still a group drama, with four story lines interspersed, and the camera is a little bit difficult to control, and the consequence is that all of these 40 million are wasted!
Even if Wei Xun doesn’t care about money, Zou Min, who is the producer, still cares about reputation!
Zou Min took a deep breath, not wanting to be too embarrassed in public: "In this way, everyone is working now, let's avoid it first, and discuss the issue of storyboards with Director Li in private, okay?"
However, Wei Xun refused very simply: "Sorry, the morning drama will be refilmed. I don't have time to discuss with whom the boring question of how to shoot the film. What do you have to say? You can finish it all at once here."
The conflict between investors and producers broke out without warning, leaving no room for anything.
Wei Xun refused to make peace in private. Now the entire crew is watching them quarrel, which is equivalent to not giving in.
Because since there is a quarrel in front of so many people, there must be a win or loss.
But in fact, in the eyes of many people, Wei Xun is indeed too unreasonable and too aggressive today.
Even Mao Bin, who knows Wei Xun best, is standing next to him at this moment, anxious and confused.
Brother Xun is not such an impulsive person. What happened today is like deliberately angering Zou Min.
But now in front of everyone, Mao Bin is not a member of the crew and is not qualified to stand up and call for peace, so he can only be anxious.
And Zou Min was indeed angry.
"Okay, since you've said all this, I'm too lazy to save face for you. Let's make the matter clear today. Even if you want to remove me as a producer next time, I don't care, because I doubt your ability, and I don't want to play the producer for a bad movie destined to be made by you, thus ruining my career."
Zou Min said expressionlessly: "And I hope you can understand that it is not only me, but once Times Pictures and Huaying Media know that you have undermined the director in the crew, you will definitely force you to hand over the power. In serious cases, you may even withdraw your investment."
This is not an exaggeration.
The quality of a film depends mainly on the director's control. At that time, Qi Jibai was chosen as the director because of Wei Xun's persistence.
Although Huaying Media and Times Film were not satisfied with Qi Jibai, when choosing a director, Wei Xun first received praise for Chen Zixing's role in "Forensic Chronicle", which greatly increased the box office of the movie. At the same time, he used his terrifying traffic to promote "No Questions to the West", which was in full swing.
So Huaying Media and Times Film Company compromised on the surface.
While compromising, they chose Zou Min as the producer and Li Chengzhou as the deputy director, intending to let Li Chengzhou join the group and suppress Qi Jibai, seize the director's power and then bring Qi Jibai back to the position of deputy director.
After all, the director speaks with his true abilities. Even if Wei Xun really supports Qi Jibai, Wei Xun has to give in and compromise for the quality of "No Questions to the West".
Not to mention that because Wei Xun's reputation on the Internet has become worse and worse recently, it has long lost its previous glory. Huaying and Times have begun to have some other thoughts.
But the facts and imagination are far from the world.
Because after Zou Min brought Li Chengzhou into the group, he was shocked to find out that Wei Xun chose Qi Jibai because he had put Qi Jibai in a weak way!
It is simply outrageous that a young actor who has never touched the director can now dare to secretly seize Chen Cang to take charge of the filming of a blockbuster with an investment of 40 million yuan!
"Suspect my ability?"
After hearing Zou Min's words, Wei Xun mocked: "At least you should check my filming results as soon as possible, and then draw a conclusion with the results, instead of using prejudice to doubt and accuse me of no reason."
What you want is what you say!
Zou Min sneered in her heart and said quickly: "Okay, let's see the results. I am only half a professional, and with director Li Chengzhou, we two will review it, right?"
Wei Xun said impatiently: "Yes, but please hurry up."
Zou Min curled the corners of her lips, looked at Li Chengzhou, and said, "Director Li, let's take a look together."
Li Chengzhou said with a smile: "Okay."
So, under the gaze of directors Qi Jibai, Wei Xun, Jiang Duzhou and a group of crew members, Zou Min and Li Chengzhou came to the main camera and began to play back the shooting effects of Wei Xun in the past two days.
Jiang Duzhou looked at Wei Xun worriedly and asked in a low voice: "How is it, are you sure?"
Wei Xun patted his shoulder without saying a word.
On this side, Li Chengzhou called out the camera to play back. On the screen, Zhang Guoguo, played by Jiang Duzhou, appeared in the camera.
The camera followed Zhang Guoguo and started to operate. He was entangled by the quadruplet family and was trapped between the boss and the leader in an awkward situation. The plot switched smoothly and the picture was clean. Whether it was the capture of the characters or the lighting set, it was just right to be harmonious.
The unedited shot may seem a bit long and messy, but it is this most primitive shot that can tell the director’s real control.
Especially the harmony between light and shadow and characters and scenes, there is a sense of slight and indescribable depression.
These are the emotions that the director has brought back through incredible control and composition of pictures, focusing on the life experience and attitude of the character Zhang Guoguo.
Zou Min is a producer, has followed many crews and reviewed many integrated films.
Although she said that she was half a professional, her vision had been very fierce.
After watching this short film, she was no longer sure that she was shocking Wei Xun now, and the effect of stunning the film, or embarrassing herself in the face.
As a result, Wei Xun handed over the complete films, there was absolutely no problem, and even the quality was extremely good.
As it turns out, his previous arrogance does have the capital to be arrogant!
This can be seen by just looking at the awkward expression on Li Chengzhou's face who also looked through Wei Xun's shooting results in front of the camera.
Because Lee Sung-ju came to the crew of "No Questions to the West" to seize the power of directors, but if Wei Xun's shooting level is better than him, then what face does he have to seize the power of directors?
After watching the effect of the film made by Wei Xun, they don’t know how they ended now.
But at this moment, only Li Chengzhou is embarrassed.
Zou Min looked at the scene in the camera and fell into deep thought. Perhaps for her, it was a good thing that Wei Xun chose to take control of the director's power at this time.
Because Huaying and Times have excuses to do things they have planned for a long time.
Zou Min's expression seemed obscure, but Wei Xun next to her was silent and saw it all, just pretending to be ignorant.
Seeing Li Chengzhou and Zou Min standing in front of the camera and staring at the screen for a long time without talking, the staff in the crew who were watching the development of the situation could not help but wonder.
Even Qi Jibai and Jiang Duzhou couldn't help but look at each other, and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
So is the shooting result good or bad?
At this time, Wei Xun picked up the script and said, "Lao Jiang, Lao Qi, you two are ready, let's continue filming."
Chapter completed!
