Chapter Eleven Preliminary Preparations

"…So I have always been very grateful to Teacher Gao Qiang. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that I would be the one I am now!"

"Yes, I felt it too. Just talk about me, a young man from Hangzhou, if he hadn't gone to Korea, he wouldn't have become an idol at all, and there would be no more people now..."

The chat continues.

Xu Hui is deliberately guiding the topic.

He knew very well that popular movie stars would not lack scripts and invitations!

The kind of person who thinks that throwing a notebook or character will come over and treat it as someone else's plaything is not a fantasy, but a crazy thing that people in the mental hospital say.

Li Bingbing may not be a superstar now, but in the mainland entertainment industry, she is definitely the top five stars!

Her current status is already different from that of the early little actors. Maybe she would mess with a man because of her appearance, but using a notebook or character to tempt her to be someone's plaything is simply a joke. To put it simply, even Feng Xiaogang may not be able to do this.

In the early stages of the rise, actresses are all Bichi, which is normal. This is a normal business situation. Once they reach a certain position, they will become reserved.

It's about dignity!

Therefore, Xu Hui did not meet Li Bingbing with those indescribable mentality, but truly regarded her as a senior, and a compliment in his words is essential.

Of course, he also found out Li Bingbing's preferences, for example, she likes to talk to people about her hometown in Northeast China and her struggle experience. Another thing is that Li Bingbing likes to chat with handsome guys very much!

Xu Hui happened to be a handsome guy, and he deliberately guided the topics Li Bingbing liked.

Sure enough, the chat atmosphere is very good.

"Okay, I will join the group at the end of February. Director Xu, I will take care of you at that time!"

"I want to thank Sister Bingbing for taking care of me..."

...

The heroine's work is over, and Xu Hui will meet with several crew leaders.

After all, he is a director, no matter whether he is a fool or not, he must first get to know him.

In the conference room of Huayi Media, Wang Zhonglei was introducing a middle-aged man to Xu Hui.

"Xu Hui, this is our producer..."

"Of course I know, Yu Min, Teacher Yu!"

Xu Hui hurriedly stood up, took the initiative to owe half of his body, and handed over his hands.

Yu Min, Zhang Jizhong's good friend, made a bunch of Jin Yong's martial arts TV series together.

"I saw the storyboard sketch you drew, it's very good!"

Everyone likes the polite juniors, and Yu Min also nodded, his face very good.

"This is photographer Cao Yun..."

"Hello, Teacher Cao, I am Xu Hui, I especially like your "Koke Xili"!"

Xu Hui's posture was very low.

"This is editor Tu Yiran..."

"Teacher Tu, support me!"

"You already know the action guide Li Zhongzhi!"

"Brother Zhongzhi, support me!"

Huayi is worthy of being Huayi. From the establishment of the project of "Embroidered Spring Sword" to Xu Hui attending the meeting, it took only five days to determine most of the main person in charge of most crew members.

And he is also a veteran of Yishui. It is obvious that Wang Zhonglei was afraid that Xu Hui would not be able to handle it, so he specially invited him to support him!

If Xu Hui was prepared alone, God knew when it would be done.

"Tell me, what are your general ideas for this movie."

Chinese films emphasize the director-centered system. Even if Xu Hui is a director who has no works, his opinions are still very important.

"First of all, I have been thinking about "The Embroidered Spring Sword" for five years, and I know every picture of the movie, so please rest assured that we won't shoot more! The cost of 20 million is definitely enough!"

"Now audiences generally choose to go to theaters to watch movies. There are two reasons: big productions, big scenes or big stars. Unfortunately, our crew does not have these two conditions, so the quality of the movie must be guaranteed and the scale must be large! Of course, what I am talking about is not really big scale, but when promoting, especially the trailer, you must let the audience feel the bursting hormones!"

"Secondly, in order to cater to the audience, our clothes must be elegant, and the feeling of flying skirts is added to the flying fish suit. I'm sorry, our dressmaker, Mr. Zhao, please design the clothes according to my sketch."

"When I was writing the script, the ending part of this movie was not a decisive battle, but after meeting Zhao Jingzhong by chance, the two had to take action, but what the audience wanted to see was Chen Lian taking the initiative to retaliate, so..."

"By the way, Mr. Wang, the novel of the same name in "Embroidered Chun Dao", please help me find a publishing house. Three months before the movie is released, let's first hype that novel!"

"Finally, please take care of it. After all, Xu Hui is the first time he is a director. If there is anything disrespectful to you in the crew, it is definitely because he is too impatient..."

After briefly introducing the situation, Xu Hui sat down.

Several behind-the-scenes creators have a good first-sided appearance about Xu Hui. Although they don’t know what this person is capable of, they generally give people a feeling that they are very similar.

Wang Zhonglei's view of Xu Hui has reached a higher level.

Each of the propaganda points he just mentioned is very considerate of Wang Zhonglei's thoughts.

Whether it is a deceptive trailer or a novel with the same name, this is the most typical publicity strategy.

Huayi’s biggest weapon is publicity, commonly known as marketing.

Xu Hui had already explained his importance to the promotion of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" in a few simple words.

Many major domestic directors have the view that making movies is their business, and doing promotion has nothing to do with them. In fact, this is not the case. In addition to considering the quality of the movie itself, the theater will consider the promotional effect of the movie more.

As the producer, Wang Zhonglei is only responsible for controlling the general direction of "Embroidered Spring Sword", and the specific matters were basically handed over to Yu Min and Xu Hui. In other words, in the subsequent filming, Yu Min was the one who dealt with Xu Hui the most.

After the meeting, Yu Min briefly introduced the preparations for the film to Xu Hui: "At present, our shooting location has been selected, Huairou Film and Television Base and Ulan Butong Grassland..."

Xu Hui nodded and said that he understood: "Teacher Yu, I am going to use quick editing for this movie. Have you ever seen "Spy Shadows"? I want to use rhythm to mobilize the story, not the traditional narrative..."

"But our shooting cycle is only 70 days..."

"Don't worry, most of them are real shots, no problem!"

Xu Hui is full of confidence now. When he really directs it, he will know that filming is not that simple!

Yu Min looked at Xu Hui deeply: "Okay, then I will do what you said!"

Although Xu Hui found it strange, he didn't think much about it. Most of the Chinese entertainment film and television industry are like this, and the director is the authoritative of the crew.

Even if Xu Hui, who was the director of the original time and space for the first time, made a low-cost urban light comedy, he was still the boss of the crew.
