Chapter 292 Forming a Team
Wu Ziniu frowned and looked at Zhang Yimou with worry on his face, breaking the silence first: "Yimou, now that we have divided the script, how should we proceed with the filming team?
It’s not easy to put together a professional and coordinated team, and it’s no joke.”
Huang Jianxin sighed softly, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously: "President Jiang trusts us too much and lets us form our own team. This is too much pressure on us!
From photography, lighting to props and field management, every link is very particular. If there is any mistake, the entire shoot will be affected."
Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, then spoke with a firm gaze: "This is President Jiang's trust in us! Since President Jiang has given us the work permit, we are now the directors of the Qingdao Film Division!
President Jiang also explained the direction to us. At this stage, most of the educated youth have returned to their hometowns, and there must be many people in the film studio who are taking over their parents' jobs.
President Jiang asked us to call upon these experienced retired personnel to form our team, which will definitely work.
Although these people are retired, they have rich experience. President Jiang said that the job quota will be relaxed and they can be allowed to bring apprentices to work.
This is equivalent to giving two quotas to one person. If there are sons and daughters who are not working at home, the employment problem will be solved directly. "
"President Jiang, this is a great idea! It not only solves the existing talent problem, but also solves the subsequent talent problem. The apprentices I bring in must be my relatives and friends, so I must teach them carefully."
Wu Ziniu listened, nodded slightly, and couldn't help but sighed: "President Jiang is young, just like us, he is also a college student, but he can become the president. He is talented, has a strong sense of the overall situation, and has ideas for doing things!
He was very forward-looking in identifying retired talent.”
Zhang Yimou also showed an expression of approval: "That's right, next we will follow what President Jiang said and start to go to the film studio to contact these people.
First make a detailed recruitment plan, clarify the required positions and personnel requirements, and then screen suitable talents.
I believe that as long as we work together, we can form three excellent filming teams and produce high-quality films."
Wu Ziniu pointed at a piece of paper in front of him, on which were the names of seven major film studios, and said seriously:
"There are seven large film studios in our country now, scattered across the country. Let's divide them up! This way we can be more efficient and gather the right talents here as quickly as possible."
As he spoke, he named the seven famous film studios one by one: "August 1st Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, Changchun Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, Zhuhai Film Studio, Emei Film Studio, and Xi'an Film Studio."
Zhang Yimou nodded slightly, glanced at the map, and quickly planned an action plan in his mind:
"Okay, except for the Beijing Film Studio, let's divide it up, one person for each of the two studios, and go there to recruit people. When we have recruited all the people, we can make the distribution!
We each play to our strengths and strive to tap the most potential talents. ". -
Huang Jianxin put down the pen in his hand and added: "Let Brother Kai ask the Beijing Film Studio for help! His father is a famous director at the Beijing Film Studio.
He has a wide network of contacts and is familiar with the channels. It is better than us asking around blindly. With him coming forward, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Speaking of recruiting, Wu Ziniu couldn't help but sigh, and said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that our college students don't have autonomy, otherwise we could just recruit directly in our school and recruit all the people.
We all know our classmates in school. They all have good professional skills. If we can form a team, it will be even more powerful.”
Zhang Yimou smiled, patted Wu Ziniu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Alright, don't think about it. If there is such a good thing, President Jiang would have already recruited all the people. It's not our turn to consider it!"
Huang Jianxin also agreed: "That's right, let's understand the script thoroughly first, this is the most important thing.
Let's go find someone during the summer vacation! Only if we know the script well can we make a good movie and live up to President Jiang's expectations of us."
The three reached a consensus and each picked up the script they were responsible for, immersed themselves in it again, and studied it carefully.
We are making the best preparations for the upcoming summer recruitment and subsequent filming.
At Chen Kaige's home in Beijing,
Chen Kaige's father Chen sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of hot tea.
"Dad, our classmate wants me to ask you something!"
Chen Huaiai raised his eyes slightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and with a faint smile on his lips, he asked: "What's the matter!
Are you thinking of visiting our film studio? I still remember you mentioned that your classmates had this idea before. "
Chen Kaige quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, that's not the case this time."
Chen Huaiai put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, looked at his son intently, and asked doubtfully, "What happened this time?"
Chen Kaige sat up straight, his expression became serious, and said: "Three of my classmates were specially recruited to the Qingdao Film Division to be directors!
They asked me to ask you for help to find out something."
Chen Huaiai nodded thoughtfully, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he said, "Yes, I know. You told me last time that the leaders in Qingdao also wanted you to go."
Chen Kaige's eyes sparkled, and a happy smile appeared on his face, saying: "Yes, President Jiang and I still get along very well!
We exchanged a lot of ideas about film creation and future development. President Jiang has a unique insight into film.
I am really inspired by those novel ideas and bold concepts.”
Chen Huaiai frowned slightly, revealing a trace of worry, and said slowly: "In fact, if I didn't have this relationship, I would definitely be willing to let you go and gain some experience.
It would be beneficial for young people to go out and explore the world more often, as it will be beneficial to their growth.
But Qingdao is a startup after all, there is nothing there, you are just a bunch of kids, what can you shoot? "
Chen Kaige sighed softly, then said firmly: "Dad, I thought so too! That's why I rejected President Jiang.
Although I really want to show my talents in such a challenging environment,
But reason tells me that staying in a familiar environment and accumulating enough experience is the safest choice for now."
Chen Huaiai patted his son on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The fact that you can think this way shows that you are mature. No matter what decision you make, Dad will support you.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once you have accumulated enough experience, it won’t be too late to venture out.”
"Dad, I know!"
Chen Huaiai leaned on the sofa, looking relaxed, took a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Chen Kaige and asked, "By the way, how come they joined the Qingdao Film Division?
Not Qingdao Film Studio! These two sound similar, but their natures are probably quite different.”
Chen Kaige patiently explained: "Dad, Qingdao Film Division is a department under Qingdao Publishing House.
The main purpose is to make comic strips published by Qingdao Publishing House into movies for broadcast.
This is one of the reasons why I declined the offer. I had no autonomy in the subject matter of the filming, and it basically had to revolve around comic strips, so there was limited room for creativity.”
"Is that so?" Chen Huaiai suddenly realized and nodded, "I see, then what does your classmate want to know?"
