Chapter 448: Director candidates

Before Dong Guofan stepped up and recommended himself, Wu Hengjiang had contacted many well-known directors in the industry, but no one dared to take over such a big Chinese science fiction project.
After all, it is an investment of 300 million yuan, and it is still a very challenging science fiction theme. If the shooting is not good, it will be your own job.
Even if Wu Hengjiang repeatedly stated that the success or failure of the film is not directly related to the director, no one is willing to agree.
After all, in case the filming is not done well, even if the investors are not held accountable, the reputation of the audience is also very important. If it is like "Deep Space Trek", it is eventually criticized or even abused by so many people, then no matter who it is Before picking up this film, you must weigh it carefully.
So no one dares to take this risk easily.
Although it is said that if you can make a good film, you will win both fame and fortune, but making a good Chinese science fiction blockbuster... the probability is really too low.
In the end, even if it is a giant entertainment company like Beidou Entertainment, even if Wu Hengjiang's network resources are very rich, even if he knows various well-known or unknown directors, no one really wants to make this film.
Some people really don't understand the subject of science fiction, and some people are simply afraid. Suddenly, a Chinese-speaking movie circle in Novosibirsk could not even find a director.
Therefore, when Dong Guofan took the initiative to stand up, Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng and Tian Ming were even a little moved.
Although Dong Guofan used to be an assistant director most of the time, he is actually very proficient in the crew, the set, and the professional knowledge of photography, lighting, performance, etc., but he has never had the opportunity to truly stand alone.
More importantly, when Dong Guofan communicated with everyone, he showed his infinite love for science fiction movies. He was familiar with almost all science fiction movies and sci-fi literary works. A science fiction master like Tian Ming proposed He has actually read the very unpopular niche science fiction works, and he still remembers some of the details.
As for sci-fi movies, his reading volume has reached the level of horror, and even some unpopular and bad movies are even talking about it.
In addition to the science fiction movies themselves, more importantly, he is also very familiar with advanced foreign film industry technology. When it comes to this issue, Dong Guofan also specially thanked Wu Hengjiang, because Wu Hengjiang sent a group of people a few years ago. Some large foreign film companies visited and studied. Dong Guofan also got this opportunity through some relationships at the beginning and learned a lot.
Wu Hengjiang didn't expect that Dajia had such a connection. After listening to it, he couldn't help but feel more relieved.
In the end, the meeting between Dong Guofan and everyone ended in a very pleasant atmosphere. After signing a confidentiality agreement, he also got the script of "The Wandering Earth". \
Although the final director candidate has not yet been determined, he can first take the script of "Wandering Earth" and study it carefully. It is best to do some specific planning and evaluation. After all, science fiction films are different from ordinary film and television works. In many places, special effects and later technical processing are needed. If these things cannot be controlled well in advance, it will only be a mess in the end.
Dong Guofan was very excited when he got the script of "The Wandering Earth". When he left, his hands were shaking.
It wasn't until he got into his car that his mood calmed down a little bit.
Afterwards, he sat in the driving seat and read the script of "The Wandering Earth" in one go.
...
After Dong Guofan left, Wu Hengjiang looked at Chen Feng and Tian Ming.
"How do you feel... how is he?"
Before Chen Feng and Tian Ming could answer, Wu Hengjiang said to himself: "I think Xiao Dong is actually pretty good...The professionalism is also hard enough, and he can see his love for science fiction movies, maybe... …May consider it?"
After a pause, he said again: "It's a pity that he still has a little experience. He has not really directed a blockbuster movie. Although he has been an assistant director for a long time before, he still doesn't work as an assistant director and director. The same... Besides, he is really not well-known. It is still too risky to entrust such a project to him."
Tian Ming next to him thought for a moment and said: "I also think Xiao Dong is good. Although he is still young and not well-known compared to some other big directors... But he has enthusiasm and motivation. If you really let him In the case of directing, I think he will definitely devote 200% of his efforts to accomplish this."
"It's better than the so-called big directors who are famous and experienced, who just do nothing to shoot!"
Wu Hengjiang nodded, but then shook his head helplessly.
"In fact, there is one more point...Directing is a comprehensive job, not only must have excellent professional skills...More importantly, he needs to control the entire crew and all the actors...If there is no certain prestige... It's hard to convince people... this is actually very important."
Tian Ming was also silent after hearing this. Indeed, as long as he knows a little about filming, he knows that what Wu Hengjiang said is right.
If Dong Guofan can't live with the crew and actors as the director by then, there may be no way to film the whole show.
After all, stability is also very important for a crew.
However, after Chen Feng was silent for a long time, UU read www. uukanshu.com finally said: "Actually... the director of this film is very important, but it is not important... because such a project is certainly not completely controlled by the director alone. After the filming actually started, I It is estimated that everyone will have to worry about it together... Therefore, most of the time the director needs to do his own job. As for other things, everyone needs to work together!"
Indeed, the project of "Wandering Earth" is too big. It really has to be completely left to the director and crew to do it. No one will rest assured that when the filming starts, everyone must work together and complement each other.
In this way, the director's job will actually become easier.
After all, the chores of the crew and the messy conditions of the actors can be handled by more professional people if necessary. Even if the director can't control some of the actors, can't Wu Hengjiang still be able to control it?
"So, I also think that Dong Guofan is actually a very suitable candidate. If you really find a famous director, then people may even reject our participation. Everyone really has no idea what the film will look like. ."
"On the contrary, young directors like Dong Guofan, who are more enthusiastic, motivated and creative, may achieve better results."
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Wu Hengjiang and Tian Ming thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly. div
