I'm almost a Muggle

"I'm fine!"

Generally, drunk people will say that they are not drunk, and some sick people, especially those with mental illness, will also insist that they are not sick.

"If you don't have any good projects, don't force yourself to start work. Brother Qixi, you are now pregnant... Well, you have an identity. You have to ensure your reputation. You would rather wait a few more years than accept a movie casually.

"

This was said so hard that Brother Qixi finally stopped insisting.

"Dong...Mr. Lin, don't you want to direct? Do you have any clues now?"

"I have to film Star Master's scenes in the next few months, and it may take some time."

Lin Dong has been making preparations, but there is really nothing to prepare for.

There is no shortage of money or people, just make sure you can lose money.

"If you plan to shoot a movie with any theme, how about I become the assistant director for you?"

A great director with a box office of more than 1 billion and a Golden Lion Award is working for you as an assistant director. Du Qixi feels that he is very loyal.

You can pull it off, you can take more shots at every turn, and still give me support.

Brother, even if you shoot casually, the box office will be higher than yours.

Hey, what the hell am I thinking? I have to lose money.

"Mr. Lin, our visual effects team is ready, but we haven't received any movie work yet. Can you tell Master Xing and ask him to consider using our visual effects team?" At this time, Hu Hailang spoke.

.

Their team now has dozens of people, half of them are special effects experts invited from Hollywood or other places, and the other half are local elite technicians.

In the early stage, I was only exposed to some short films, so there wasn’t much room for development.

"This is a bit difficult. After all, we don't have any reputation." Lin Dong shook his head without thinking.

There is really no need to accept this rejection.

It would be possible if it were another director, but Mr. Xing, who is almost paranoid about the quality of movies, would never agree, even if this movie doesn't have many special effects shots.

"But it's not an option to stay idle like this. If the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team." Hu Hailang said with a bitter face.

He gathered a group of angry young people and vowed to revitalize the domestic special effects industry, and even the Hollywood special effects companies he didn't even know he wanted to fight.

Now is the time when you are full of passion, you can't hold it back all the time.

Holding it in for too long will hurt your body.

Mr. Zhou once said that we can’t wait any longer to make great efforts only to fail again and again.

"Well, my first movie is going to be a remake of an old movie. I wonder if you have heard of the movie "The Legend of Shushan"?"

Isn't this a joke?

Who has never heard of Shushan Legend?

This movie, released in 2001, cost 90 million Hong Kong dollars to produce. That was 90 million Hong Kong dollars thirteen years ago, which is more than 900 million Hong Kong dollars now.

Director Xu Kai, who was at his peak, produced "Once Upon a Time" in 1991, "Swordsman" and "New Dragon Inn" in 1992, "Green Snake" in 1993, "Butterfly Lovers" in 1994, and "The Knife" in 1995.

", "New Shanghai" in 1996, and then entered Hollywood and became the most dazzling figure among Chinese directors.

The most luxurious star lineup was invited.

Zhang Piaopiao became popular due to movies such as "Star Wish" and "The King of Comedy", while Zheng Yijian was definitely the most sought-after actor at the beginning of the new millennium.

Louis Koo's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was still being replayed repeatedly on many TV stations at that time.

Lin Dong's buddy Wu Feng and international movie queen Zhang Caiwei both have roles in it.

However, the box office that year was less than half of the investment cost. Not only did it suffer a huge loss, it was also criticized for being useless, and it became a big bad movie in the eyes of everyone.

Lin Dong chose this movie not only because of its low box office.

Also because it's easy to burn money.

The old version of "The Legend of Shushan" had as many as 1,600 special effects shots. The "Shaolin Soccer" at that time only had 400 special effects shots. "The Legend of Shushan" had four times as many.

And in order to complete these special effects shots, Xu Kai even hired four Hollywood computer special effects companies, which took a year to complete.

"Damn it, Shushan, Dongzi, you are so stupid!" Du Qixi shouted at the table.

Hu Hailang was also trembling with excitement.

They never expected that Lin Dong's directorial debut would directly involve a remake of a big production like "Shu Mountain".

Seeing how Lin Dong usually supports literary and artistic films so actively, I thought he was planning to make a literary and artistic film.

"Why are you so excited?" Lin Dong was confused.

He accidentally saw this old film and was very interested in the story and presentation techniques, so he decided to learn from Xu Guai's experience of losing money.

"Dongzi, you have to give this assistant director to me, no, even if you let me carry the props." Du Qixi said shamelessly.

"The Legend of Shushan" is one of his favorite movies.

You can't imagine how much impact this 2001 movie had on his young mind at that time.

When he grew up, he decided to become a director, which had something to do with this constant impact.

"Mr. Lin, we will never let you down." Hu Hailang didn't dare to hit the table, but he dared to hit himself.

He could already imagine how excited his friends would be when he went back and told them that he was going to make "The Legend of Shushan".

If you look back on China's special effects, it can be very early.

But it is generally believed that we should start with "The Storm", which is the first domestic film to use extensive computer special effects, including fully virtual characters, green background synthesis, particle rendering, etc.

Since then, martial arts films have mainly used special effects extensively.

Many people may regard "Shaolin Soccer" as a landmark work in the history of Walt's film special effects, because it has high box office and great influence, and is one of the star's masterpieces.

But for professionals in the special effects field, "Shaolin Soccer" is far inferior to the bad movie "The Legend of Shushan" that was released at the same time.

It would be so exhausting to be able to participate in the remake of "The Legend of Shushan".

Lin Dong looked at their performance and was a little confused about what was going on. He could only say that young people are really energetic, and centenarians like himself can't compare.

"Does any of you have anything else to do?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that nothing happened.

Just when everyone thought Mr. Lin had dismissed the meeting, Lin Dong continued to speak.

"From today on, Sister Shan, you will serve as the CEO of the company and report directly to me."

"Ah? Okay!" Shi Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. How could she, a "college student", be the CEO?

In fact, in larger domestic companies, the general manager is also called the president, but one difference between the two is that the "president" often serves as the first or second person in charge of the company, while the "general manager" may not.

The department heads of some large companies are also called general managers, but rarely called presidents.

Because everyone will realize that the president is a higher-level position, therefore, in a sense, "president" is the top version of "general manager". The president can be equal to the general manager, but the general manager may not be equal to the president.

So, can she understand that she has been promoted...
