Chapter 209 Taking Over Xie Fu's Job
"A bow."
"Two bows."
"Family members respond to the greeting!"
Originally, Han Zhou was just an ordinary member of the funeral team.
All we have to do is wait for the memorial service to be over and then carry the coffin to the cremation.
Now, Han Zhou knelt upright on the mat and responded to the greetings from the family members.
Chen Cai, who had just finished paying his respects to Xie Fu, turned around and glared at Han Zhou fiercely with narrowed eyes.
Han Zhou had a blank expression on his face and refused to respond.
As a soldier, Xie Fu's eldest son would not come here to pay his respects today. Han Zhou had nothing to do at first, but after receiving Xie Fu's last gift, he understood.
I have inherited Xie Fu's legacy.
Han Sisheng was furious about this matter.
Because in a month, Huaying Group will expand its recruitment.
New World will take advantage of the opportunity to enter Huaying Group.
Han Zhou will become a member of the board of directors of Huaying Group.
According to Han Sisheng's idea, after Tan Wulin's term ends, the throne can be passed on to Han Zhou.
Tan Wulin should be able to work for ten years, which is enough time for Han Zhou to accumulate experience.
By then, Han Zhou, who is 34 years old, will be able to work until he is 65 years old.
Thirty-one years. It took Han Sisheng thirty-one years to bring Chinese film and television to where it is today.
Han Sisheng believed that if Han Zhou was given 31 years, China would surpass the United States and become the world's top power.
However, Xie Fu got there first.
A long time ago, Xie Fu once asked Han Zhou a question.
Would you rather be Han Si or Xie Fu?
Today, Han Zhou gave the answer.
Chen Cai: "Why, don't I deserve a thank you gift?"
Han Zhou had no expression on his face.
Xie Fu's little daughter whispered, "Han Zhou, today is not suitable."
Han Zhou bowed silently.
After Chen Cai turned and left, Han Zhou said loudly: "Chen Cai!"
Chen Cai turned around.
Han Zhou stood up and said, "I, Han Zhou, would like to become your disciple before you leave me."
"Once you enter the gate, the first thing you do is to protect the honor that Teacher Xie had when he was alive."
"Today, I, Han Zhou, will clean up the mess on behalf of the master."
"From now on, you, Chen Cai, are no longer a member of the Xie Clan."
All the guests present were stunned.
Han Zhou continued: "Others may not dare or be afraid to conflict with you."
"I, Han Zhou, am not afraid."
"From today on, if you dare to cheat others in the name of thanking your teacher again, you will be punished without mercy."
"That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
Chen Cai sneered: "Oh, they say that unfilial sons like to fight for family property, but I have never heard of a closed student suddenly appearing after the teacher passed away."
"Whatever you say is what it is?"
Han Zhou looked around the scene and said, " Whatever is what it is."
"If anyone is dissatisfied, they can just jump out."
"Look how you die."
Xie Fu was loyal all his life, but his biggest mistake was the same as Han Sisheng's, which was to train some fifth-generation and sixth-generation directors.
These are dog-like things.
Xie Shi was a person who cared about face and old friendships, so he did not openly turn against them during his lifetime.
But I have long refused to associate with them.
Today, this is the funeral of Master Xie, but it is also a place of fame and fortune in the eyes of some people.
Han Zhou wanted to do this in front of everyone in Yanjing, the entire North, and all the art troupes present today.
Han Zhou just wanted to lose his temper.
Master Xie is a person with too good a temper, too good, and he has a lot of things in his heart.
So much so that the photography diary I wrote contains a lot of things.
Han Zhou didn't look at it according to the date.
Instead, read it backwards from the end.
I found that at the end, it was a passage that Teacher Xie wrote to himself.
The handwriting is shaky.
"Chinese films are weak, the Chinese film industry is weak, and the future of Chinese films is uncertain.
Your "Kung Fu" gave me hope, hope for the whole of China.
Go forward bravely and firmly, just like the martyrs.
But you have to continue on this road where there is no smoke of gunpowder, but it is easier to be disgraced and die without a burial place.
treasure."
Going further back, the vast majority of content not related to the movie is Teacher Xie’s movie reviews.
A large number of them are works represented by Chen Caiwei.
Watch it once, curse it once.
But, even after being scolded, I still watch it.
Xie Fu was just waiting, waiting for people like Chen Cai to turn back, admit their mistakes and correct them.
But it's a pity that Master Xie was such a nice person that he didn't realize at the end that some people are born to be beasts, and they will either go to the west to be beasts or to the south to be beasts.
Han Zhou has been reading his photography diary all night. If he doesn't get angry today, he'd feel unworthy of the weight of these forty-five years.
Of the forty-five years, thirty years were spent on these so-called fifth and sixth generation directors.
Nothing was gained, but the disease was full of malignant tumors.
Everyone looked at Han Zhou. They didn't expect that Xie Fu, the youngest student, would turn against each other and clean up the family in the funeral hall today?
But that’s true, if there weren’t such people, how could we write those new martial arts novels?
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Cai smiled and said, "The Old Testament says that believers must not take God's words frivolously."
"Besides, how dare you say you represent the teacher?"
Han Zhou: "What a bullshit god, how many divisions does God have?"
"I only know Heaven, Earth, the Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers; benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness."
"You unfilial fellow..."
Han Zhou: "Forget it, I'm telling you, your mother, go away."
I started swearing in this situation.
All the big names in the national film industry are here today.
Just curse at your mother.
This is Han Zhou.
Han Zhou had nothing more to say to Chen Cai, he had already said everything he needed to say.
Chen Cai smiled and said, "I don't know what it means."
After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.
Halfway through, Jiang Peng waved his hand and Chen Cai walked over in confusion.
Han Zhou looked at him coldly, withdrew his gaze, and kowtowed to the coffin.
Not far away, Xie Qiang, the eldest son of Xie Fu, who was wearing a military uniform, looked at the leaders of the art troupe and the leaders sent by the military in front of him and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
The leader of the art troupe: "This kid has a really stubborn temper. He is stubborn and stinky."
Among military personnel, this is a compliment, not an insult.
Xie Qiang smiled and said, "Although the old man didn't stay with him for a long time, he taught him much more than he taught those guys."
"The old man didn't teach them anything they were trying so hard to learn. He left it all to Han Zhou."
Several old soldiers sighed.
Xie Qiang said, "Han Zhou asked me to do you a favor."
Several people looked at Xie Qiang.
Xie Qiang: "Han Zhou is going to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala this year. After the Spring Festival Gala, he wants to join the army for half a year."
Several people looked at each other.
Xie Qiang: "Originally Han Zhou wanted to serve for the full two years, but he is really busy and is confident that he can learn things quickly, so he hopes to stay in the army for half a year."
An old leader looked at Han Zhou and said thoughtfully: "This is a good thing."
"Han Zhou is now very famous, which is good for our recruitment propaganda and image promotion."
"But what did he serve for?"
Xie Qiang: "He said that after filming the Anti-Japanese War, he wanted to get more involved in modern military affairs and shoot military-themed movies and TV series."
Several people looked at each other, especially the leader in charge of the art troupe: "Okay, sure!"
This matter did not exist originally. Even when filming a mainstream movie, Han Zhou never thought about joining the army.
This is not an imitation of the Wu actor from the previous life either.
But after reading Director Xie's diary, Han Zhou suddenly realized that he was actually a new director.
Currently, Han Zhou’s movies are able to imitate the original works of his previous life and reproduce them one to one.
It's very simple.
Han Zhou also tried to change some things himself and then filmed them.
However, after reading Xie Fu's diary, Han Zhou suddenly realized that he was not qualified to be a director at all.
Even if the box office is the highest in the history of Chinese-language films, it is not enough.
A very simple example.
Han Zhou saw Xie Fu researching a technique of shooting night scenes during the day a year ago.
According to Xie Fu's diary, this technique is very common, and at least half of the film directors use it.
At least one in five directors can use this technique to great effect.
Night scenes are very difficult. For example, when filming a movie like Titanic, in order for the audience to see the entire Titanic in the night shots, countless headlights were needed to illuminate the hull for filming.
During the entire filming period, the electricity and fuel costs for lighting alone cost 20 million US dollars!
However, there is another option.
That is to shoot the Titanic during the day, and then adjust various picture parameters to adjust the daytime picture to night time.
For example, lower the contrast and set a bluer lens.
However, there are many techniques involved. For example, how can you express things outside the screen so that the audience does not lose focus and does not realize that the night scene was shot at night?
Xie Fu studied these things for three months.
Seeing these techniques, Han Zhou understood instantly.
Being a director yourself is actually doing the reverse process.
Reverse technology.
However, this kind of reverse- engineered stuff is useful most of the time, but sometimes it is just for show.
It's like an oil painting, perhaps with dozens of layers beneath the surface, which ultimately creates an extremely sensible shadow.
When you imitate it yourself, you are imitating the surface of the oil painting, and the shadows are also painted with paint, not superimposed on the picture.
The quality is much lower.
There are a lot of things like this.
This made Han Zhou realize one thing.
If you want to make a mainstream movie, you should not integrate the movies you have watched into your own movie.
Instead, you should experience everything related, such as the military, and then fill in the blanks in the framework.
This is the right thing to do.
Therefore, Han Zhou needs to go to the army for half a year.
Also, Han Zhou needs a long period of training.
Han Zhou needs to lose fat and muscle because next year, Han Zhou will play Lu Shouyi.
Han Zhou hopes that his performance will be better than that of the original actor.
And there are two steps to exercise.
Lose fat first, then lose muscle.
So, first exercise in the army and complete the fat loss.
Then reduce muscle mass on your own.
Be prepared to do two things at a time.
Therefore, Han Zhou's purpose of joining the army is different from actor Wu's, but also somewhat similar.
…
Xie Fu's funeral took seven days.
It's already mid-June.
Lin Xiaoxing has already firmly established himself as the king.
Wang Chao has already talked to Director Ren and visited and contacted museums across the country, inviting them to participate in the filming of "National Treasure .
The Fengchu version of "My Sassy Girl" is already being filmed.
However, Tan Ailein is very meticulous when filming. It is estimated that she would not have finished filming "The Sun Also Rises" by the time it was finished.
The entire "Burning Sun" team is in place and has entered the final preparation stage.
There is less than a month left until the May 68th Cantonese Concert.
This time, Han Zhou will spend more time on the concert.
The first concert was very successful.
The four companies discussed it and decided to upgrade the effect and make this series of concerts a monument in the Chinese music scene.
Therefore, in the second half of the month, the four of them will start practicing singing independently.
At the beginning of July, we will start practicing singing together.
Last time, each of the four was responsible for its own portion of the stage effects.
This time, four families worked together to achieve the best results, and there were a lot of things to do.
As July approached, Han Zhou had more things to do.
First of all, "Drawing Sword" is about to premiere!
Then there’s the upcoming release of Twilight.
The second season of "Boonie Bears" is about to be released.
At the same time, there is a huge issue to discuss within the company.
This Spring Festival, will we see "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" or the "Boonie Bears" movie version?
If it is to be a Boonie Bears movie, then now the entire company will have to cooperate with the production of the Boonie Bears movie.
If you are going to release "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", you have to start planning the promotion of "Honghuang".
When Hong Huang was designed, it was planned that the first boss would be Nezha.
The game Honghuang is different from the movie. In the game, at the beginning, the player will become Nezha's companion and grow up with Nezha.
Experienced the events in the East China Sea, Chentang Pass, and the Lotus Body.
Then as the plot progresses, the player has to take on the task of saving the world.
In the plot, no one knows that Nezha has been possessed by a demon, and players are required to defeat his former companions.
Only after defeating Nezha will he go to Chentang Pass to admit his mistake and eliminate his physical body.
After that, the player needs to guide and accompany Nezha to find Nuwa and complete the lotus body.
Only by completing this final task can you get the reward 'Hot Wheels' and fly on the clouds.
Of course, players can also choose not to do the main quest, but to play with Nezha in the map.
But you can’t get rewards.
If you recharge, you can participate in the lottery for this reward.
However, the price is very high, and it is set to cost at least two thousand to get it.
Therefore, it is estimated that most players will definitely try to complete the Lotus Body mission.
Now, a lot of publicity is needed to make "Honghuang" popular.
And made the first boss Nezha famous.
During the Spring Festival, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was released.
This will be very, very, very rushed.
It may take five times the advertising cost to achieve half the effect.
Another option is to release "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" during the summer vacation, giving players a full six months to adapt to the prehistoric world.
By that time, a large number of players will already know Nezha and have become familiar with him from the battles in the celestial world of "Honghuang".
At this time, the movie was released online, creating the first carnival for the "Honghuang" fan group.
Han Zhou is not going to act arbitrarily this time, but is going to let the entire top management participate in the decision-making of this matter.
This almost concerns the future development of the animation department.
It’s a question of whether to take one step or run ten steps.
This is not something that can be decided online.
All senior executives have to go to Shudu to watch the progress of movies and games on site before making a decision.
However, when Han Zhou arrived in Shudu, bad news came.
All of Han Zhou's plans were disrupted.
