Chapter 449: Constant trouble

Dong Guofan finally got his wish as the director of "Wandering Earth".
Of course, it was not only because of Chen Feng, Wu Hengjiang, and Tian Ming that he was finally determined to direct him. It was Dong Guofan who made the final decision after reading the script of "Wandering Earth". An analysis report of the shooting plan.
This thing is very valuable, because Dong Guofan directly analyzed and classified most of the special effects shots in the movie. Some need to make physical models, some are pure computer effects, and some need blue screen cutouts. Luo listed a series of measures to reduce shooting costs as much as possible.
After reading this report, even Fang Cheng, who specializes in the later stage, was amazed.
"This person really understands the shooting methods of movies, especially special effects movies. Otherwise, he can't make such an analysis. If he can implement it according to his plan, our post-production special effects work will be much easier."
"This is really rare. You know, in our Chinese film circle, many directors don't have the awareness of special effects and post-production at all. Sometimes the film is finished before they come to the post-production side to help them deal with it. Many shots...the problem is...they didn't leave room for post-production special effects when they were shooting, and it turned out to be more difficult."
After listening to Fang Cheng's words, everyone recognized Dong Guofan even more. In the end, Wu Hengjiang personally met him for a long conversation again. When the conversation was over, Dong Guofan's eyes were red and he walked out of Wu Hengjiang's office without saying a word.
When Wu Hengjiang's assistants saw Dong Guofan's expressions, they thought there was an accident. However, there was no accident at all. The director of "The Wandering Earth" has been determined to be Dong Guofan.
He was just a little overwhelmed with excitement just now, so he lost his mood. After he walked out of the headquarters building of Beidou Entertainment, the whole talent finally calmed down.
Now he is very happy and satisfied, because he has persisted in his efforts for many years and finally got the reward.
In their business, some people are lucky. After graduation, they work for a year or two, and they may soon find a chance to be a director and make their own films.
Some people are proud of the heavens, even before they graduate, they can be favored by some bigwigs with their talents, and they can make their own movies at any time.
Some people are geniuses. No matter which line they were in before, as long as they had some fame, they could become so-called directors.
But most people are actually like Dong Guofan, who has been in the film and television industry for many years, and still can only be an assistant director, and even can only do miscellaneous work in the crew.
But fortunately, Dong Guofan has never given up his dream. Although he has never really been a formal director, he has always insisted on studying and maintained his inner passion.
So, now he finally got his own opportunity.
And it's an extraordinary opportunity.
"Wandering Earth", a Chinese science fiction blockbuster with an investment of at least 300 million!
The first film he made as a director was actually such a big production. It was a fantastic start.
Although Dong Guofan himself knows that making this film will be very risky, because if it fails in the end, his reputation may also be damaged...
Wait, he is a new director with Mao's reputation... Maybe other well-known directors have this level of concern, but Dong Guofan doesn't have any.
Regardless of success or failure, this is a good experience for Dong Guofan.
Because of this, he dared to recommend himself and write an analysis report that is not perfect after reading the script. Only then did he dare to look confident in front of a big boss like Wu Hengjiang.
So, in the end, he finally won this opportunity.
...
When the news that a rookie director Dong Guofan became the director of "The Wandering Earth" spread, there was an uproar in the circle.
Before "Wandering Earth" attracted foreign investment but unexpectedly fell into the cold, it has become a joke in the circle, and now it broke out that a new director was selected, which made people look at this project even more.
If a well-known big director can be invited to make this film, maybe many people will increase their confidence in this project because of the director’s reputation, and the result is now like this...
No one believes that this movie will succeed.
When the news came out, someone had dug up Dong Guofan's personal information.
Well, at least he still graduated from the directing department of a well-known college, and he also has the experience of studying abroad in the past... However, how can he be a good director based on this?
Let’s take a look at his work experience again. Well, in the early stage, I worked in many small crews, and in the later stage, I became various assistant directors. To put it bluntly, he actually helped the director. He has never made a film himself.
this one? Was selected as the main director of "Wandering Earth" as soon as he came up?
Which "Wandering Earth" claims to have invested at least 300 million yuan?
You are not so cute!
After learning about this news, many companies have changed from a wait and see attitude to a joke waiting to see Beidou Entertainment.
In the past, a few small companies invested some money with the mentality of gambling luck, and now they have become the target of ridicule.
"That guy Ding Xiangbei, I heard that he also voted two million for "The Wandering Earth"?"
"Hehe, it's okay if others have money to play casually, isn't Ding Xiangbei's broken company almost going bankrupt? There is still spare money to invest in this kind of project?"
"It's probably because of the mentality of dying fish and breaking the net... Anyway, he is going to go bankrupt, and people will just wave away..."
"I heard that there is a new media company recently called Startup Media...and also invested several million..."
"Starting the media... I have heard that this company seems to have something to do with Xinhuang Group. What should be the inside story?"
"Inside shit, the old fox Wang Zhenshan, if he is really optimistic about this project, why didn't he vote for it himself? It depends on his relationship with Wu Hengjiang. If it's a good thing, how can someone else get it..."
"But... Wang Zhenshan seems to have gone abroad recently. I heard that his precious son got into trouble abroad again, and his father ran to wipe his again..."
"Uh...the world of big brother...we don't understand..."
"But ~EbookFREE.me~ Regardless of whether this startup media has anything to do with Xinhuang Group, or whether Wang Zhenshan has any inside information... Anyway, I am not optimistic about the project "Wandering Earth" at all..."
"Hehe, I can only say one thing, I wish those brothers who invested money to make a fortune next year!"
...
Along with the director's confirmation and the ridicule from more insiders, "The Wandering Earth" advances step by step.
Although this project is not as bad as it has been reported by the outside world, in fact, it has indeed encountered a lot of troubles.
No, the director’s matter has just been settled, and the actors have another big problem in this regard.
Some of the well-known actors that Beidou Entertainment planned to invite before actually rejected all the previous verbal agreements.
As "The Wandering Earth" is becoming less and less promising, the actors are also affected.
