A great director who grew up happily

Huang Bo has the final say in the crew. He is the initiator, director and leading actor. If Huang Bo himself does not have a clear plan, then it is really unknown when the filming will be completed.

"Teacher Yu, your contract was actually signed for a few months."

"You're welcome, just call me by my name." Yu Hewei declined Chen Jinnian's address and replied, "From the day after the Spring Festival until the end of May, it's three and a half months in total."

Chen Jinnian pondered for a moment. Yu Hewei is the supporting actor, and should be the third supporting actor. Zhang Yixing and Wang Baoqiang have more roles than him. The first three and a half months are already more than enough.

"There should be plenty of time. I'll ask Brother Bo later if I can move your play forward."

He particularly hates the saying that slow work produces fine work. Anyone who has worked in a company knows that the length of time does not represent the quality of the finished product of the project.

For the startup teams in the industry, that is still possible, because the first person to try something new faces too many problems, and most of their energy is used to deal with unexpected troubles.

But the film and television industry has matured to the point of being oversupplied. You can just find someone to accompany five or six executive directors to complete the filming.

There are usually only three situations for crews whose shooting period can last for more than half a year or more than a year: the volume of scenes is too large, there are temporary investment disputes, and the director suffers from literary problems.

"Bogo's film schedule is very tight. Even if we can finish filming by the end of May, we will have less than two months for post-production."

Wang Baoqiang said from the side.

“Who did you outsource it to?”

Chen Jinnian asked curiously.

"A Good Show" seems to be the work of Huang Bo as a cross-border director, but in fact, from the beginning of the play, it is a huge resource integration project.

The script was written by Ning Hao's exclusive screenwriter team and a well-known contracted editor in the industry.

Produced by Fang Fang, the project is jointly invested by Hanna, four major investors including Guangguang and Mahua, and 26 companies in the film and television industry.

The distribution is dominated by Maoyan, a T0 level company in the industry.

This project was jointly launched by thirty film and television production companies. Let alone making a movie, if Li Yunlong had this much military force, he would dare to attack Taiyuan.

So Chen Jinnian was curious about who had the ability to take over the later stage of such a huge stall.

"I don't know." Baoqiang showed an honest smile.

Chen Jinnian also smiled. He was sure that Baoqiang knew about it, but as an editor - such a sensitive professional role, Baoqiang chose to play dumb and avoid talking about it.

The movie will thank the sponsors at the beginning and announce the crew members at the end, but in most cases the actual editors will be deleted because their existence will make the director look useless.

When Chen Jinnian first started making movies, he came into contact with outsourcing teams. The unspoken rule in their industry is that they cannot admit that those films were edited by them, including award-winning works.

Honors and awards belong to the stars in the spotlight, while those who have truly worked hard for it can only stand in the dark corner, watching their children being adopted by strangers and listening to pretentious acceptance speeches, which is quite like a minotaur.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Jinnian looks down on those awards. He knows who are the fraudulent claimants. How could the organizers not know this? But they still give the awards even though they know it is fraudulent.

In the eyes of the organizers, if you have no connections or background, why should you be given the award that belongs to you?

"I hope that as a new director, Brother Bo won't follow the old hands and give back what's due. We're all paid to do our jobs, and we can't say that just because actors and crew members deserve names, some don't."

Baoqiang listened to it. He could feel that Chen Jinnian was very unhappy about the friction in the industry, but whether to give him a credit or not really depended on Brother Bo's opinion.

And apart from Chen Jinnian, probably no one else would care about these details.

In the general audience's perception, if a movie is shot by a director, then the editing should also be done by the director. Otherwise, the shooting is done by the executive director and the visual effects director, and the editing work is also done by someone else. It doesn't mean that even a dog can be a director.

The next day.

Chen Jinnian asked Huang Bo how many days the filming would be postponed, but when he came out of the hotel, most of the crew had already left at five in the morning.

It was a rare day that it didn't rain continuously, so everyone was eager to grab the spotlight. Chen Jinnian had no choice but to go to the island for a tour with Wang Yidi, accompanied by Sister Lan.

I have to go home to celebrate the Lantern Festival tomorrow, so time is very tight. I can only take advantage of the holiday travel feature and seize the time to take photos and check in.

Putting the weather aside, Yakushima is indeed very suitable for vacation. It is a little far from Tokyo, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is not a popular spring tourist destination like Hokkaido. There are fewer tourists, which is very suitable for enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The only drawback is that it is too humid, and the humidity unique to the island is very unfriendly to older grandparents. They will have health problems after staying there for four or five days. It is not suitable for family vacations.

"When you buy a house in the future, you have to live far away from the sea." Chen Jinnian said with emotion, and reached out to help Wang Yidi zip up his jacket.

"You want to buy a house? Where are you going to buy it? Near my home?"

"All you hear is buying a house." Chen Jinnian tapped her forehead lightly with his finger. "But we do need to buy a house. I plan to move the company out of Beijing."

"Ah, where are you going to move to?" Wang Yidi said in surprise. It was the first time she knew of such an idea.

"I haven't decided where to go yet, but it's definitely going to be one of the four first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen."

Chen Jinnian has many alternatives, China Overseas is just one of them, and there are also Xiongan, Suzhou, Hefei, and Nanjing.

Xiongan has policy advantages, Suzhou has economic vitality, Hefei has the talent advantage of USTC, and Nanjing is a small Beijing.

"Have you told your uncle and aunt about your idea? I don't think they will agree."

Chen Jinnian didn't take Wang Yidi's worries to heart. "We're just moving the company there. It's not like we're going to live there permanently. I only work a few days a year, and the transportation is convenient. I can take a plane..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. "Plane?" Suzhou didn't seem to have an airport.

"Well,... it's not that hard to avoid flying. Taking the high-speed rail is just as convenient. Even the farthest city, Nanjing, has a direct high-speed rail connection."

Chen Jinnian urgently changed his words. Although Beijing and Nanjing are far apart, it only takes three and a half hours to get from Beijing South Railway Station to Nanjing South Railway Station. There is no need for high-speed rail with frequent stops, so it is indeed as fast as taking off.

"Haha, keep your words and go home to explain to Auntie."

Wang Yidi turned around and hugged Sister Lan's arm, with a sly smile on her face. Based on her understanding of Su Ying, she would definitely disagree.
