Chapter 711: Collaboration

The evening breeze blew, Tan Yue pushed open the car door, walked out of the car, stood under the dim street lights, and thought flashed across his brows.

He has been on the list of top public figures for a while. Before he was on the list of top public figures, Tan Yue felt that it should be a completely different world from the first-line public figures.

Because it was too difficult, the gap between the first-line public figures and the top public figures was too difficult to cross. Tan Yue felt that his pace was already very fast, but it still took more than a year to get on the first-line public figures list.

But when he really became a top public figure, Tan Yue suddenly found that it seemed that there was no difference. Even though he had become a top public figure, what was the difference compared to when he was still a first-line public figure? It was just that his fame and influence were greater.

If it was just these, why have there been six people on the top public figures list for so many years, and until now, only one person has been added.

Tan Yue did not rush into the house, but just stood at the door, thinking quietly, and occasionally passers-by would cast surprised eyes.

And just tonight, after meeting and talking with two veteran superstars Zhou Ruiming and Zhou Chasheng, Tan Yue finally understood that top public figures are indeed different from the first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier public figures before.

When they were first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier public figures, everyone was busy and running for their own fame and fortune, but when they reached the level of top public figures, there was one more thing, that is - responsibility.

No need to worry about survival, they have gotten rid of the temptation of money and can pursue something at a higher level.

Art has no borders, but artists do.

The best proof is that Chinese superstars are struggling in the international entertainment circle.

Before, I hadn't come into contact with it, and Tan Yue only had some vague feelings, but now I really came into contact with it. When someone really analyzes these things for you, spreads them out, and puts them in front of you, you really feel the heavy pressure on your shoulders.

However, it is pressure, but also motivation.

If you just go to make movies and mix in the circle, it would be a bit boring for Tan Yue. If you can make the situation of Chinese entertainment better in the international entertainment area, Tan Yue feels that he should do something.

Just like when he was leaving tonight, Zhou Ruiming patted him on the shoulder and told him: "This country is mine, but it is also yours."

Tan Yue has always had these things in his bones. Just like when the Beijing Poetry Association and the Japanese Poetry Society held an exchange competition, Tan Yue didn't want to participate. He could write poetry, but he didn't like it. He still liked to make movies, TV series, and do some more challenging variety shows.

It was just that when it came to the two countries, when it came to the cultural heritage and dignity of China, Tan Yue stood up without hesitation.

After the exchange competition, Li Ke, chairman of the Beijing Poetry Association, came to him, and he once again refused to join the Poetry Association. Many media reporters also came to him, hoping to interview him, but Tan Yue still refused.

After thinking for a while, Tan Yue already had a general direction in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, he took out the key to open the door and walked in.

At home, there is still a beauty waiting.

Beijing, the building of the General Administration of Culture.

In the office of Director Ye Wen.

Ye Wen sat behind her desk, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, carefully reviewing documents, looking intellectual and elegant.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

Ye Wen put down the documents in her hand and picked up the landline to answer.

"Hello, yes, it's me."

"Oh? Chief of Staff Wang? Hello."

"Okay, please go ahead."

"Well, okay, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible, and I'll get back to you as soon as there's a result."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wen sat in the office chair, thinking silently for a while, then picked up the landline and called the secretary to notify the leaders of various departments to hold a meeting.

Ten minutes later, meeting room No. 2.

Everyone was discussing the purpose of the director's sudden notification of a meeting and why the meeting was suddenly held.

This noise stopped as Ye Wen walked into the meeting room.

Pairs of eyes looked at Ye Wen, waiting for Director Ye to speak.

Ye Wen walked to the head of the conference table and sat down. On her left and right sat the two deputy directors of the General Administration of Culture, Zhang Tieshan and Li Jian.

Ye Wen looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

There are still a few minutes before the meeting time, but it was all decided by Ye Wen. Ye Wen said that the meeting could start now, and everyone did not dare to have any different opinions.

Ye Wen said, "Just now, I received a call from a senior leader of the military. The leader said that the army wants to increase some publicity and try to improve the enthusiasm of the people to join the army. He wants to cooperate with us to shoot a movie."

After Ye Wen finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

In the past, there have been such cooperation with other departments, but it is still rare for a big boss like the military to come to us. The last time was 20 or 30 years ago.

Ye Wen continued, "Let's finalize a plan first. After everything is finalized here, we will reply to the military. This matter was called by the leader himself, and I must be very energetic to do it."

Ye Wen's rank is already very high. After all, she is the person in charge of the cultural field in China. When talking about the military personnel who called her, Ye Wen always called him the leader. It can be seen that this person is really a big shot.

"What ideas do you all have? You can talk about it now. Let's discuss it together and brainstorm."

After Ye Wen finished speaking, she looked at everyone and waited for other people's suggestions.

None of the people who can sit in the conference room are stupid. They are all smart people. If they don't have good brains, they won't come to this step. Therefore, Ye Wen still attaches great importance to everyone's opinions.

Soon, the discussion began in the conference room.

"The theme of the movie that the military wants to co-produce with us should be determined, military theme. Which domestic director is good at military themes?"

"Yes, which screenwriter writes military-themed scripts well, and special effects and so on, all need to be considered, and these things must be done well."

"I think Zhang Baihao should be able to do it. He is a well-known domestic director and has made good movies and TV series."

"It would be better if Jiang Bei had made a few movies. I think the TV series he made are very good, and the scene construction is unique. It's a pity that he has not made many movies. I am not sure about handing over such an important matter. Give it to him. "

"Pakho Cheung is getting old. His production rate has not been very good in recent years. He hasn't made a movie for several years. I remember the last time he made a movie was the TV series "Alley". "

"What about Shen Chenglin? He is a well-known film director who has won many awards abroad. "

"Shen Chenglin has the ability, but I think his style is not good. Look at the movies he made before. There are some factors that cater to foreigners. If such a banana man is allowed to make a movie with the military, I think Shen Chenglin and we will be shot by the military bosses. "

" Haha, that's right. Shen Chenglin definitely can't do it. This is a question of position. No matter how strong his directing ability is, we can't use him. "

"I think Tan Yue can also do it. Isn't his "Wolf Warrior 2" a military-themed movie some time ago? And the box office is also very strong, and everyone can see it. "

"But who can guarantee that Tan Yue can always have such a good script? And purely speaking of the script, the script of "Wolf Warrior 2" is actually not very amazing. The reason why it has such a good result is that this drama has pioneered a kind of passionate military green. "

"Yes, Tan Yue has made too few movies , who knows how good he is at making movies after only filming "Wolf Warrior 2"? His qualifications are still too low. "

"What about Sun Daohao? Sun Daohao is an older generation director, and he has been working in the front line of the film industry for many years. His directing ability is even better than Zhang Baihao, Shen Chenglin and others."

"Director Sun Daohao is good. He has qualifications, ability and prestige."

The entertainment industry has complicated relationships. Some people present will inevitably know some directors in the entertainment industry and even have close relationships with them. So when it comes to recommending directors, many people are recommending directors who have relationships with them.

The reason for this recommendation is that everyone sees the great benefits in it.

You know, this filming is completely different from ordinary filming. This time, the filming is co-produced with the military. It can be said that it is a good relationship with the bigwigs in the military.

What is the status of the bigwigs in the military? Didn't you see that even Director Ye Wen would call him the leader when he talked about it?

So if you can make this movie well and have a good relationship with the military, it is equivalent to having a layer of amulet. As long as you don't take the initiative to find trouble, no one dares to find fault.

Some things can be bought with money, but some things cannot be bought with money, such as this amulet.

If you say this amulet is useful, it is not obvious in normal times, but if you say it is useless, you will know it when it really happens.

Everyone present has a long-term vision and has seen this.

Everyone recommended the director they thought was suitable, and they all gave some very reasonable reasons after the recommendation.

After discussing for more than ten minutes, Ye Wen has been listening without speaking, and at the same time, she has analyzed everyone's suggestions in her mind.

"Zhang Baihao"

"Jiangbei."

"Shen Chenglin"

"Tan Yue."

"Sun Daohao"

In the end, there was nothing more to say, and everyone's voices gradually fell.

At this point, after discussion, everyone has only discussed a few candidates.

Ye Wen did not make a decision. She was not struggling between the five people. She had already ruled out Zhang Baihao, Jiang Bei, and Shen Chenglin, because in Ye Wen's mind, among the five great directors, Tan Yue and Sun Daohao were half a level higher than the other three.

What Ye Wen was struggling with now was which one he should choose between Tan Yue and Sun Daohao?

At this time, Deputy Director Li Jian, who had not spoken before, spoke up. Li Jian looked at Ye Wen and said, "Director, I also have some ideas. Let's talk about it."

Ye Wen smiled and nodded and said, "Old Li, you are experienced. If you have any suggestions in your mind, please put them forward and give them to us for reference. Maybe it will play a decisive role."

Li Jian smiled and said, "I have listened to what everyone said just now. The directors mentioned are all the best directors in our industry, but this time we are cooperating with the military, we can't be careless and we have to choose the most suitable director."

"I propose one person."

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Jian, wanting to know who Li Jian was going to propose.

"Tan Yue." Li Jian said the name he was going to say.

Some people were surprised, while others understood.

Because after understanding the history of Li Jian's family, it is easy to find that Li Jian's rise is inseparable from Tan Yue.

Some people think that Li Jian's ability is not necessarily that strong. The main reason is that this guy has been lucky enough to catch up. Tan Yue has cooperated with Hedong TV Station in many consecutive works, and each of his works has been a hit. Like a catalyst, it spurred Hedong TV station to soar into the sky like a rocket.

But in the past two years, everyone has discovered that it is not that simple. After the Hedong Provincial TV station changed its director, Tan Yue stopped cooperating with the Hedong Provincial TV station, and the development momentum of the Hedong Provincial TV station plummeted.

At this time, many people realized that Tan Yue cooperated with Hedong TV Station not because Hedong Province was his hometown, but because Li Jian did have the courage to attract Tan Yue to continue to cooperate with Hedong TV Station.

After such reasoning, it can be seen that the relationship between Li Jian and Tan Yue is not simple.

Li Jian looked at everyone's eyes, smiled softly, and said: "I know a little about everyone's thoughts. Do you think there is a relationship between Tan Yue and me, so I recommend this opportunity to him?"

"I have heard such rumors before, but I didn't take them seriously and laughed them off. But today I want to explain a little bit. There is actually no relationship between Tan Yue and me. At most, they are just ordinary friends."

"People may not believe it, but this is the fact. I believe in Tan Yue's ability, so I am willing to pay a lot of money to gamble with him. I can't afford to lose, but I believe in this person's ability." Talent and ability, I’m confident.”

"When I was at Hedong Provincial TV Station, because I was not familiar with Tan Yue, when discussing cooperation with Tan Yue, I always arranged for Tian Wenbin, the current director of Sichuan Provincial TV Station, to talk to him. I even met Tan Yue so many times. Not more than three times.”

"Do you still think Tan Yue and I have a very good relationship?"

"Maybe, after all, we have been friends for a long time, haha."

Li Jian looked at Ye Wen and continued: "Director, I still say the same thing. I have confidence in Tan Yue. His talent and ability are really the only ones I have seen in my life, and he also has a successful precedent for military-themed movies."

"Isn't the current popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" enough? Tan Yue has proved with "Wolf Warrior 2" that he can make this type of movie well."

Ye Wen looked at Li Jian, thinking slowly in her eyes, and nodded slightly.
