Chapter 704 "Wreath Under the Mountain"(1/2)
Beijing, in the bright entertainment company building, president's office, Tan Yue's office.
Yesterday afternoon, the film department sent over a batch of documents, including approvals for several upcoming films that required Tan Yue's signature. However, as he was about to get off work yesterday, Tan Yue did not process them and left them until today.
Just after I finished reading this batch of documents, my cell phone rang on my desk.
Tan Yue picked up the phone and took a look. When he saw the caller ID, Tan Yue was stunned for a moment.
Because the person calling him now is actually Ye Wen.
He and Ye Wen exchanged contact information with each other before, but they rarely contacted each other.
"I wonder why Director Ye suddenly called me?" Tan Yue was curious, but he didn't stop moving his hand and pressed the answer button on the phone screen.
Then, Ye Wen's voice sounded on the phone.
"Teacher Tan Yue, hello." Ye Wen's voice was calm and convincing.
Tan Yue had said before that Ye Wen could just call him by his name.
But in fact, Tan Yue's status has reached such that even if he wants others to call him by his first name, others are not used to it.
Now Tan Yue doesn't insist anymore.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Hello, Director Ye."
Ye Wen also smiled and said: "Teacher Tan Yue, I am calling you this time because there is something I want to discuss with you."
Tan Yue was stunned, secretly guessing what Ye Wen wanted to discuss with him, and said: "Okay, you tell me."
During the phone call, Ye Wen continued: "The Ministry of Military Affairs wants to co-produce a military-themed movie with us to promote the image of the army and future recruitment publicity. I thought of you. Nowadays, there are no good directors in China who can make military-themed movies.
There are many, and the one with the best results is also your "Wolf Warrior 2", but I still don't know your thoughts, are you sure about the next task?"
Tan Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Ye Wen to come to him because of such a thing.
Tan Yue did not answer immediately, but thought quickly.
Because this matter is not as simple as making movies in the past. In the past, making movies was purely a commercial activity, and the profits were self-sufficient. They were all produced by Bright Entertainment Company, but this time it was different.
If I take on this task, I will co-produce a movie with the military. It will have a different color, and there must be no mistakes. Moreover, the movie must be well shot and satisfy the military.
Ye Wen did not continue talking and slowly waited for Tan Yue's decision.
Ye Wen has always been strong, but it depends on who she targets. Within the General Administration of Culture, Ye Wen has always been bold and decisive in implementing the policies formulated by the General Administration of Culture. This is why Zhou Ruiming admires her. She is courageous and charming.
But the current target is Tan Yue, and she needs to respect Tan Yue's decision. Tan Yue is a talent she values and relies on now and even for many years to come.
Tan Yue thought quickly in his mind, but it didn't take long, only a minute or two before Tan Yue made a decision.
"Director Ye, I agree to this."
After Tan Yue finished speaking, he heard Ye Wen's laughter on the phone.
Ye Wen said: "Haha, okay, Teacher Tan Yue, we have a happy cooperation."
With the decision made, he was no longer entangled in his heart, but felt much more relaxed. Tan Yue smiled and said, "Well, it's a pleasure to cooperate. Director Ye, regarding the script of this military-themed movie, I need to polish it slowly, but in the end
Chi will give it to you within half a month."
Ye Wen hummed and said: "Teacher Tan Yue, I will form a group when the time comes. I, you and the leaders of the military will all be in it. If anything happens in the future, you can post it directly in the group and we can discuss it together.
Of course, you are a professional and you have to be the main one."
Tan Yue said: "Thank you, Director Ye."
Ye Wen smiled and said: "It's okay, Teacher Tan Yue. When we were filming "Wolf Warrior 2", we needed the support of the army. I just asked this leader for help. However, the armor support at that time was also limited, but this time is different.
, We are truly co-producing the movie with the troops, so any support we need during the process, in all aspects, will not be a problem."
Hearing Ye Wen's words, Tan Yue felt excited.
What is the most important thing in making a movie? Isn’t it truth?
When filming "Wolf Warrior 2" before, many big guys couldn't get it, so they had to put some special effects in the movie later. But this time, with the support of the big guys in the army, everything was easier.
After chatting with Ye Wen for a few more words, Tan Yue hung up the phone.
Putting down his cell phone, Tan Yue just sat behind his desk, thinking slowly and carefully.
He has made a decision and will not hesitate any longer. What he is considering now is not the pros and cons of taking on this movie, but how to make this co-production movie well.
In just one minute, Tan Yue didn't think much. He just thought that shooting this movie should be beneficial to the country.
If it’s good for the country, then take it!
Being in this position, Tan Yue also realized that it was indeed time to take some responsibilities.
Zhou Ruiming's words, "This country is mine, but it is also yours" have been lingering in his mind these days.
After thinking for a while, Tan Yue stood up, left his office, and came to Chen Ziyu's office.
He felt that he should discuss it with Chen Ziyu.
Boom, boom, boom.
Tan Yue came outside Chen Ziyu's office, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Before there was a sound from inside, Tan Yue opened the door and walked in.
In the office, Chen Ziyu was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, with a laptop on her long, white thighs. Seeing Tan Yue come in, Chen Ziyu smiled and waved to Tan Yue, "A Yue, come here quickly."
When there is no one around, Chen Ziyu calls him A Yue, and when there are people around, she calls him Teacher Tan Yue. Sometimes when feelings arise, it is also Teacher Tan Yue.
Tan Yue smiled and walked to the sofa and sat down side by side with Chen Ziyu, looking at the laptop on her lap.
Chen Ziyu pointed at the laptop screen and said: "Ah Yue, look, "Wolf Warrior 2" is very popular in Southeast Asia."
On the notebook is a news report about "Wolf Warrior 2" after it was released in various Southeast Asian countries. After "Wolf Warrior 2" was removed from theaters in China, people from the General Administration of Culture came to Cuican Entertainment Company, hoping to make "Wolf Warrior 2" available in theaters in China.
"Wolf 2" is exported to Southeast Asia, where overseas Chinese gather, to promote China's image.
Fifty percent of the profits from "Wolf Warrior 2" after its release will belong to Bright Entertainment Company.
This kind of good thing is something that Bright Entertainment Company can only ask for, so it naturally agrees to it directly.
From some channels, Tan Yue also briefly learned about the situation of "Wolf Warrior 2" in Southeast Asian countries, and it was crazy!
Naturally, Bright Entertainment Company was able to earn a large sum of money as a result.
"Haha, not bad." Tan Yue said with a smile after reading the report.
Chen Ziyu closed the computer, looked at Tan Yue, and said, "Teacher Tan Yue, do you have something to do with me?"
Chen Ziyu could tell that Tan Yue's attention was not on this news, so there must be other things.
It's really comfortable to deal with smart people. You don't have to spend too much time talking, it's just a matter of time.
Tan Yue nodded and said, "Yes, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Chen Ziyu also looked serious, nodded and said, "Okay, you say."
Tan Yue told Chen Ziyu that Ye Wen had called him just now and wanted to invite him to co-produce a military-themed movie with the army.
After hearing this, Chen Ziyu thought for a while and said: "I also support you in agreeing to this. If you can take good pictures, it will be of great help to the army and the country. At the same time, it will satisfy the military and be good for our company."
I have the impression that Ah Yue, especially you, is of great benefit."
Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu and listened to her explain in detail.
Chen Ziyu said: "Ah Yue, now you are in a very high position. In the past twenty years, there are only seven of you who can be called the top influential people in the cultural circle. The other six are from twenty years ago."
It has existed before. In the past twenty years, you are the only new addition. A big tree attracts wind, and small people have to guard against it. It is inevitable that some people will be jealous of you."
"It's just that it's easy to hide from open fire and hard to defend against hidden attacks. It's not good to be on guard all the time, and it's very uncomfortable."
"But if you leave a good impression in front of military and political leaders, it will be like adding a talisman. Unless you make a big mistake, anyone who wants to touch you will be careful."
"This kind of amulet-like thing cannot be bought with real money."
Chen Ziyu's words made Tan Yue slightly nod his head. His original intention of taking on this movie actually didn't take him into consideration that much, but Chen Ziyu's analysis made Tan Yue even more excited.
Looking at Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu continued: "A Yue, actually, I also have a concern. Director Ye also said that the film will be used to promote the image of the army. It is conceivable that the leaders of the army are worried about it.
This movie will be taken very seriously. If it is not shot well, it will have a great negative impact on you, at least at the upper level, you will lose points."
Chen Ziyu was a little worried, Tan Yue could see it.
Tan Yue smiled softly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke Chen Ziyu's hair, and said: "Ziyu, don't worry, you have always had full confidence in me before, what happened this time?"
Chen Ziyu raised his hand, held Tan Yue's palm that was touching his forehead, looked at the man in front of him who was always calm and calm, and said, "Isn't it because this matter is very important?"
Tan Yue smiled and squeezed Chen Ziyu's hand, which was soft and slightly cool.
Chen Ziyu's worry made Tan Yue very happy. He had always known that Chen Ziyu cared about him, but he always acted too perfect and excellent. What he always saw on Chen Ziyu's face was a smile.
Now this worry made Tan Yue feel happy.
"Tzuyu, you know me. I won't do anything I'm not sure about. Now that I've taken on this matter, I will definitely do it well. You don't have to worry." Tan Yue said.
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."
The two talked for a while, and then Tan Yue returned to his office.
He did not immediately start thinking about co-producing a movie, but first dealt with the work at hand. No one can become fat in one bite. Food must be eaten one bite at a time and things must be done one by one.
