My singer girlfriend is super fierce

"Xugong Group" is very efficient. After confirming the cooperation, it immediately set up a project team to carry out the docking.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu's preparations for "The Wandering Earth" are also in progress.

He plans to direct this film himself and play the leading male role "Liu Qi".

However, people’s time and energy are limited. Although the self-directing and self-acting model can maximize the director’s personal expression, it is also extremely difficult.

After all, the director's job is to control the entire crew, which is already a heavy workload, while the actors need to focus on their performances. These two roles require different focuses. If the same person does both of these things at the same time, it is easy to become overwhelmed and not do well on both sides.

It’s okay for general commercial films, but when filming "The Wandering Earth", it involved the dispatch of personnel and mechanical equipment for many large scenes, and Ye Zhiqiu felt that he could not handle it alone.

Therefore, he felt it necessary to bring in an experienced senior director as producer to assist him.

Simply put, it is a safety net.

The supervisor must be a senior director in the industry and have rich experience in large-scale scene scheduling and shooting. However, he must not be stubborn and self-willed. He must be compatible with his own temperament to avoid affecting his artistic judgment during the shooting process...

After thinking about it, there is only one suitable person that I know.

——Zhao Jinglun.

As the ceiling of domestic directors, Zhao Jinglun has experienced countless big scenes, from the Spring Festival Gala to large-scale sports games, and his directing style is known for its rigor and meticulousness, so he is perfect for the role.

The candidate has been found, the only difficulty is whether the other party agrees.

After all, he is a big director and investors are lining up to ask him to make movies. Even if the two of you have a good relationship, there is no reason for him to give up the movie and be your producer.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't hesitate and went straight to Zhao Jinglun to explain his thoughts.

Everything depends on human efforts. If it doesn’t work out, we can talk about it another way!

......

In a residence in Jin Province.

This is the home of Zhao Jinglun's son and daughter-in-law. He just finished a filming not long ago and is currently taking a break. He brought his wife here for a meal.

Zhao Jinglun's son did not follow him into the film and television industry, but studied medicine and worked in a tertiary hospital. He is also very busy at work, but compared with Zhao Jinglun, he is still a dwarf. The number of times the family sits together together in a year is also very few.

However, after dinner, everyone sat together chatting. After Zhao Jinglun went to the balcony to answer a phone call, he came back with a frown on his face, looking thoughtful.

When everyone saw this, they realized that this must be a work-related problem. They looked at each other, but no one asked any questions.

Everyone knows Zhao Jinglun's personality. He is a complete workaholic who works day and night. Everyone hopes that he can have a good rest during the holidays.

However, after a few minutes, the message alert sounded. Zhao Jinglun took a look at his phone, then immediately stood up and said, "Weimin, find me a computer. I want to look at a document."

His son Zhao Weimin looked embarrassed, and his wife beside him couldn't help but say, "Old Zhao, you finally got two days off, why don't you think about work?"

"Can't we look at it later if it's anything important?"

Zhao Jinglun was stunned for a moment, then he noticed the expressions of his family members, reacted and explained apologetically: "No, this is not work..."

"Hey, kind of!"

"Didn't I tell you about Ye Zhiqiu? He called just now and said he wanted my help with something."

The old man obviously remembered this name and asked, "That young man you often mentioned and had high hopes for?"

"What did he say on the phone?"

At the side, the daughter-in-law, who is also a doctor, said, "Ye Zhiqiu, the film "Dying to Survive" was written by him, right? Our hospital has organized a viewing for the entire hospital."

"Many young doctors in the department like his works very much and discuss them every day."

"It's him." Zhao Jinglun smiled, but didn't say the details of the call. "He's planning to shoot a new movie, and he wanted to consult me."

"The script has just been sent to me. I'll see if it will take much time."

After Zhao Jinglun said this, no one objected. Zhao Weimin stood up and said, "Dad, please send me the document. You are used to reading paper documents. I will print it out for you."

"Don't worry, I know how to protect trade secrets."

Ten minutes later, Zhao Jinglun was already sitting in the study, holding a stack of freshly printed papers that were still warm.

Looking at the words "The Wandering Earth, Ye Zhiqiu" on the cover page, Zhao Jinglun frowned.

When Ye Zhiqiu told him on the phone just now that he was going to spend 6 million to make a science fiction film and hoped to invite him to be the producer, his first reaction was the same as Fang Long's.

——Nonsense!

Having been in the industry for so many years, he is very familiar with the Chinese film market environment.

It can be said that there is a market for science fiction films, but there is no suitable soil for their growth.

There has been a craze for making science fiction movies in China. The first local science fiction film was made as early as the 60s. However, by the 90s, domestic science fiction had almost disappeared.

Ultimately, we can’t compete with foreign films and there is no market for them.

At the time, one investor put it bluntly: Why is China doing hardcore science fiction? It’s better to make a martial arts spaceship!

Although these words may sound harsh, they also illustrate a truth: even if Chinese directors have achieved great results, they are likely to suffer a heavy loss if they rashly enter the field of science fiction films.

Don't even mention the film industry or anything like that. This theme alone is just a script, and it has stumped countless directors...

Zhao Jinglun sighed. He also hoped that Chinese science fiction films would be invested in and get better and better, but as a senior in the industry, he felt that he had an obligation to remind Ye Zhiqiu not to fall into this trap.

But before that, he decided to take a look at the script first.

Thinking in his mind, Zhao Jinglun opened the paper in his hand and saw a sentence printed at the top of the title page.

"Hope is something as precious as diamonds in our time."

Seeing this sentence, Zhao Jinglun's gaze paused for a moment, and after a few seconds, he continued to read down.

"At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city. Until this disaster became closely related to everyone..."

At first, Zhao Jinglun had no hope for Ye Zhiqiu's "science fiction" script, even though it was written by Ye Zhiqiu.

Simply put, science fiction has a higher threshold than other stories. Hard-core science fiction needs to follow the basics of physics and astronomy and avoid logical flaws, which places high demands on the author's professionalism.

At the same time, if the author relies too much on old elements such as "superpowers" and "time paradoxes", it will easily distort the story and turn it into "pseudo-science fiction" that is actually a fantasy or magic film.

But gradually, Zhao Jinglun found that he was wrong.

The script of "The Wandering Earth" seems different...
