Chapter 217 Secondment
"Brother Wu, why are you free to come here today?" Fang Minghua stood up and greeted with a smile, and poured another cup of hot tea for him.
"I saw in Guangming Daily that your novel won this year's Outstanding Novella Award. Congratulations." Wu Tianmin sat down on the sofa and replied with a smile.
"Ha, just such a small thing? I don't believe it, Brother Wu, this is not your style. You are a very busy man now."
"Haha, there is something else. "Wu Tianmin took a sip of tea and said: "Before the Spring Festival, when we were not having dinner together, did you promise to write a script for Zhang Yimou, the photographer of the Guangxi Film Studio? "
"Yeah, I gave him the script before the Chinese New Year. What's wrong?"
"Can you let me see it?"
"Okay." Fang Minghua took out the script from the drawer. Pass it to Wu Tianmin.
It’s great to have a computer. You can print several copies at a time without having to copy them by hand.
Wu Tianmin took the script and read it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said: "To tell you the truth, Zhang Yimou called me two days ago and said that Director Wei of their factory has been transferred. The newly appointed director Gao refused to let him film this script.”
"Oh, I know about this." Fang Minghua replied with a smile: "Zhang Yimou called me to explain the situation and wanted to return the script to me. I told him to ask you to find a solution."
"No wonder. "Wu Tianmin suddenly asked again.
"Minghua, do you think Zhang Yimou can film this script well?"
"I think he is okay, otherwise I would not give this script to him." Fang Minghua said simply.
"Haha, you have more confidence in him than I do. Well, I'm leaving! By the way, lend me this script of yours." Wu Tianmin stood up after saying that.
"No problem, let's have some tea before we go. My tea is the newly launched Longjing tea this year!" Fang Minghua enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.
“I want to have a good drink, but there are so many things going on in the factory that my ass is on fire and I can’t sit down at all. I’ll treat you to a drink when I’m free!”
"Forget it, let's drink tea."
"Okay, just drink tea. Goodbye!" Wu Tianmin grabbed his briefcase and left.
“Goodbye, walk slowly!”
After seeing Wu Tianmin off, Fang Minghua returned to the office to ponder things.
Wu Tianmin personally went there to read the script. Of course it was not a whim. He must have thought of some way.
Could it be that Zhang Yimou was seconded to Xiying Film Studio to film this script?
Very possible.
Sure enough, when Wu Tianmin returned to the factory, he held a meeting of factory leaders and made a surprising suggestion:
"A photographer named Zhang Yimou from the Guangxi Film Factory was seconded to shoot this movie script called "No One Left Behind"!"
"You have all circulated the script, how about it?" Wu Tianmin asked road.
"Of course the script written by Minghua is not bad. The problem is how to find someone from Guiying to film it? Isn't it good for our Xiying Film Studio to direct the film by ourselves?"
Someone suggested that they opinions.
It is Liu Jianzhong, the deputy director.
In fact, it was not Wu Tianmin but Liu Jianzhong who was selected as the director of Xiying Studio.
Wu Tianmin is only the deputy director of the factory, but when the organization sent someone to ask for his opinion, he objected:
“I won’t do the job of deputy director, or let me be the deputy director. Director, or I will be an ordinary director.”
The leaders sent by the organization also admired Wu Tianmin’s courage, but said that this was not in line with the promotion and employment procedures, and some people would have objections.
"Then let's vote by public opinion. Whoever is elected will be the factory director, and others will have nothing to say."
As a result, Wu Tianmin was elected director of Xiying Film Studio with an absolute majority of votes, and Liu Jianzhong had to settle for deputy director.
The conflict between the two is almost public, so everyone is not surprised.
Wu Tianmin seemed to have expected Liu Jianzhong's objections. He glanced at the other person and explained: "This is written specifically for Zhang Yimou by the writer Minghua."
Huh?
Everyone took a breath. The famous Minghua actually wrote a script for an unknown person, and this person was a photographer himself!
"There is no problem with the script now. Let me talk about Zhang Yimou again. Everyone has seen the two movies "One and Eight" and "Yellow Earth"."
Wu Tianmin looked around He continued: "Especially in "Yellow Earth", Zhang Yimou used a lot of long shots to freeze the distance, which was very successful. This film has been shortlisted for this year's Best Cinematography Award, and it is very likely to win."
"But, Director Wu, this only shows that Zhang Yi is an excellent photographer. He is not a director, has never studied director theory, and has never filmed." Director Liu continued to object.
"Yes. He has never filmed, but you said that he has never studied directing theory courses. This is wrong. When he was in school at Yandian University, he took all directing major courses by himself." Wu Tianmin retorted. .
"As for whoever has never made a film before, doesn't it be the first time for him to become a director? This "No One Left Behind" is Zhang Yimou's first time!"
Everyone can see this.
Wu Tianmin was determined to let this man named Zhang film this film.
“I still object!”
Director Liu showed no sign of weakness.
"You can have reservations. The factory director's responsibility system is implemented now. I will be responsible for any problems! Adjourn the meeting!" After Wu Tianmin said that, he stood up and turned around to leave, leaving a few people looking at each other. Factory Director Liu looked even more angry. livid.
Soon, Xi Film Studio sent a written consultation letter in the name of the unit to Gui Provincial Film Factory, hoping to second Zhang Yimou to work at Xi Film Studio for a period of time to prepare to assist in the filming of a movie.
The discussion letter was quickly placed on the desk of Director Gao of Guizhou Film Factory.
At this time, Director Gao was drinking the Liubao tea given by his friend.
Liubao tea is a specialty of Guangxi Province. It belongs to the dark tea series. It has a rich red color, rich aroma and sweet and delicious taste.
Director Gao doesn’t have any other hobbies but this one.
While I was enjoying my drink, I saw a letter of discussion brought over by the secretary of the factory office.
Ouch.
What a joy upon joy.
Someone actually wants to secondment Zhang Yimou?
He immediately took out his pen and wrote on the negotiation letter: "Agree!"
Get rid of this troublesome thorn in a hurry.
If it weren’t for them, how could Director Wei be forced to pack up and leave?
But if Director Wei doesn’t leave, he won’t be able to be the director, right?
So, do you still want to thank Zhang Yimou?
Director Gao was drinking tea and thinking to himself.
Zhang Yimou really didn’t expect that Wu Tianmin would second him to Xiying Studio.
Although the discussion letter was very vague and said it was just to help make a movie, he knew.
Just go and shoot "No One Left Behind"!
It’s such a blessing.
Zhang Yimou couldn't help humming Qin opera while holding the letter of discussion approved by the factory director.
The horse hit its front hooves into the pit,
Zhao Yun held the real dragon in his arms.
Firstly, the young master Hong Fuchong;
Secondly, the last general is skilled in martial arts
Qin Opera "Changban Slope".
Taking the secondment letter from the factory office, Zhang Yimou rushed to his office excitedly, and suddenly he thought of something.
Broken!
I already sent the script back to Minghua in Xijing yesterday!
