Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Gao You, carrying her luggage, put it in one of the courtyard houses she bought.

She bought this room later. After renovating it, she left it alone for half a year and now she has finally moved in.

The house is not very big, but after the renovation, it has a shower, sanitary napkins, toilet and everything else.

The yard is several dozen square meters, planted with pomegranate trees and osmanthus, and looks quite elegant.

It's not as good as Li Xiyan's garden.

But living alone is also quite convenient and comfortable.

On her first day at the Bayi Film Studio, she took the script for her new film with her.

The factory had originally welcomed this newcomer, who had won many awards abroad, to join their factory.

As soon as he arrived, he brought a new script, and the gift was quite well prepared.

I'm getting ready to have fun.

Just look at the name of the script: "Water Flooding Dongjia Village"!

Several male leaders from the factory who were present at the scene didn't feel a chill down their spine.

Director Wang Lan, how come you recruited this little lunatic to the factory?

Not only have they castrated almost all the men in this village, they are also going to flood the entire village!

How cruel!

"Director Wang, this script?" The director of another department looked at Wang Lan.

Wang Lan took the initiative to recruit this person. I don’t know what her intention was.

Use the ultimate move right away?

"You guys read the script first." Wang Lan held back her laughter and asked them to read the script first.

The little madman used his ultimate move as soon as he arrived, which made Wang Lan very happy.

Director Lou, who was in charge of reviewing the script, read the script first.

The more he looked, the more serious he became, and his brows furrowed ever tighter.

This is a story that takes place in a small village four years later.

Four years later, China will experience a flood even worse than the one in 1991.

The story begins with a rescue team composed of retired female soldiers who come to the mountains near Dong's house for daily outdoor training.

Unexpectedly, at night, floods poured into Dongjia Village, knocking down crops and houses, and the entire Dongjia Village was about to be submerged.

After the rescue team learned about the situation, they immediately launched a rescue operation.

Unfortunately, their communication equipment was damaged by the heavy rain and they lost contact with the outside world.

There is no way to seek help from the outside world.

They could only rely on their own strength to enter Dongjia Village and carry out rescue.

But the people in Dongjia Village were not as simple as they imagined.

This village is very xenophobic. The rescue team leader Lu Hua repeatedly emphasized to them that the village is very dangerous and there is a possibility of mudslides, and hoped that they would move to the mountains as soon as possible.

However, the people in Dongjia Village were not so cooperative and instead wanted to drive the rescue team away.

Lu Hua soon discovered that Dongjia Village was most likely a village that specialized in human trafficking.

They locked up all the abducted women in a cellar.

Lu Hua immediately organized the team and carried out the rescue.

As a result, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

But disasters always come at an inopportune time.

What Lu Hua was most worried about happened. A mudslide rushed down from the mountain, and the entire Dongjia Village was about to be swallowed up by the mudslide.

At the critical moment, the rescue team organized the abducted women and villagers to escape to the mountains as quickly as possible.

A few minutes after they left Dongjia Village, the mudslide submerged the entire Dongjia Village.

All escaped with their lives.

On a rainy night, the people of Dongjia Village lost their homes.

The trafficked women escaped and regained their freedom.

The rescue team had mixed feelings as they looked at the people they had rescued.

The whole script is very shocking.

After reading the script, Director Lou felt cold all over in that June day.

This is undoubtedly a very good script, with ups and downs in the plot, grand scenes, and a very profound portrayal of human nature.

"I'm afraid this name needs to be changed." Director Lou took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

This name is too specific and will definitely not pass review.

I'm afraid some details may need to be changed.

"Xiao Gao, are you going to get into trouble with this village?" Director Lou couldn't help but ask Gao You.

This incident caused a big stir before, and it is the human trafficking case with the heaviest punishment so far.

Of course, it also serves as a warning, and the campaign to combat human trafficking is still ongoing.

The outside world doesn’t know, but his colleagues have heard to some extent about how much Gao You has done in this matter.

However, the higher-ups thought that if this matter spread, it would cause a bad impact, so they did not make it public.

Gao You was only criticized verbally by the school leaders and that was it.

The rescued women who took action were not punished, and the people of Dongjia Village could only bear this loss in silence.

You deserve it.

"No, I just think the terrain of Dongjia Village is very suitable for filming this movie, so I gave it this name." Gao You told the truth.

When she was filming "After Dawn", she invited teachers of geography and meteorology to watch it.

If a major flood occurs, there is indeed a possibility of mudslides in Dongjia Village.

"I like this script, but I need to discuss with my superiors whether it can be approved for filming," Director Lou said, pointing to the script.

If Gao You hadn't won numerous awards in college and hadn't had amazing box office results, the studio would never have let a newcomer to the company direct a film so quickly.

But there are always exceptions.

Gao You is the exception.

Gao You left the script and followed Director Wang Lan to the desk prepared for her.

Wang Lan is the director of the factory's production department, and Gao You is now one of the directors of this department.

Even when there is no filming, I still have to go to work.

Of course, it is not that strict. The director still has to go out to collect materials, attend meetings, go through procedures, solicit investment and sponsorship, etc. It is impossible for him to sit in the office every day.

Gao You's desk is right opposite Wang Lan's. It is a solid wooden desk with a piece of glass on it.

"You've given the factory a head start as soon as you arrived!" Wang Lan took Gao You to the water room again and gradually familiarized her with the factory environment.

"It's an induction ceremony." Gao You emphasized.

"You!" Wang Lan said with a smile, but in her heart she was very happy that Gao You could come to the factory.

The script of "Flooding Dongjia Village" was studied by the higher-ups for several days before it was finally decided to be filmed.

But the name still had to be changed, to "Rescue 1998".

The script was also changed in many places.

However, Gao You insisted on retaining the retired female soldiers rescue team and the human trafficking village.

If these two points were changed, she would rather not make the film, or cooperate with other studios.

The factory studied the script repeatedly and held many discussions. It was not until July that the script was finally finalized and the filming crew was ready to be formed.

This shoot involved many big scenes and required a considerable investment.

The factory is short of funds, so it can only hire more people and add more machines.

Gao You's company participated in the investment in a cooperative manner.

After some adjustments, the cooperation was finally confirmed.

For this film, Gao You is the director, Wang Lan is the producer, and the screenwriters are Mo Huan and Qu Linglang.

The photographer was Zhou Can, and the art, lighting and recording staff were all veterans in the factory.
