My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 99: Nadu Pictures (Part 1)

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

I didn't sleep all night, and yesterday was too stressful, but Lu Ming still felt in good spirits.

Perhaps it is the excitement supported by some kind of anger, or maybe it is that the body and bones have really improved a lot.

Nadu Pictures is a satellite town in the southern part of the East China Sea, quite far from Beiguan.

Nadu Films was once so brilliant that even the town council passed a unanimous resolution to change the name of the town to Nadu.

Today's Nadu Pictures is relatively dilapidated. All the machines were packed into trucks and were sent back a while ago.

Moreover, Nadu Pictures, which originally had three shooting venues, has sold the best two of them. The only thing left is a simple venue in the company with a small slope. If you want any background, Just use curtains.

Lu Ming felt that the background might be similar to the crudest martial arts videos he watched in his previous life. The rockery made of curtains obviously moved when people leaned on it.

Many people came to the three-story office building today, including staff, contracted director teams, artists, etc.

Today, Empire Film and Television Company has this model. Directors and actors all sign with a fixed company, with either long-term or short-term contracts.

Two new bosses arrived today, and these anxious employees have been waiting in line almost since early morning.

However, the company's most famous director Nelson and his team did not come. Nelson's contract expired in a few months.

The five most famous contracted stars are not here either. Of these five stars, the biggest one is Luna, who was single-handedly made famous by Nadu. It is now rumored that Luna is already preparing to be filmed by other film companies. , especially since Nadu hasn’t filmed a new movie for her for a long time. According to the original contract, she has the right to terminate the contract on her own, and the required termination fee is not high.

……

In the office, Lu Ming and Wei Baozeng listened to General Manager Pilden introducing the company's situation.

Pilden is an old man in his fifties. He has been working hard in Nadu since he was a teenager. It is obvious that he is full of affection for Nadu.

Furthermore, at his age, it would be difficult to find a job if he is unemployed.

Especially since his investments failed in the past few years and he is now under great pressure to repay debts, he cannot be allowed to lose his job.

On the way here, Wei Baozeng told Lu Ming about the situation of the remaining and new executives.

Along the way, Lu Ming was also looking at the information of these employees and contracted artists.

Sitting in the office is Financial Director Gao Yi, the new senior executive appointed by Wei Baozeng after taking over Nadu.

There are also department managers such as the Copyright Department, Publicity Department, and Public Relations Department.

The name is slightly different, but Lu Ming feels that this is what he understands.

The company's former legal counsel was exhausted, and his contract expired and was not renewed.

Wei Baozeng has handed over the company's legal business to Wang-Lu Law Firm, and did not even say hello to Lu Ming in advance.

The person sitting in the position of legal advisor now is Donald. After all, Nadu Pictures is a big company. Wang-Lu Law Firm, excluding Lu Ming, the boss, the most outstanding lawyer is Donald.

Actually, Donald felt a little guilty as he sat there. After all, if it weren’t for Boss Lu’s relationship, he wouldn’t be qualified to sit in the position of legal advisor of such a large company. Although Nadu is now ruined, after all, it was once a prominent Nadu Pictures for a while.

Now, he is even more grateful that it was a wise decision for him to switch to his current firm.

"I'm going to meet the directors!" Lu Ming stood up after listening to the boring reporting work of the department managers, which was basically difficult, difficult, difficult.

Wei Baozeng nodded: "Okay!" He looked at Pildon again.

"I know all about the company's situation, so I won't listen. I'll accompany Director Lu!" Pildon also stood up.

Park Souna, who had been standing behind Lu Ming, also followed suit.

The boss told her that it may be a bit dangerous recently, so she will not be the driver for the time being, and will use Datou instead. But she doesn’t know why he brought her to Nadu Films today.

However, everything here was very novel to her.

……

There are still 5 directors, assistant directors, etc. who are still under contract.

But there is only one official director, and the rest are assistants or specialized directors who shoot small projects.

Moreover, this official director is a lady, her surname is Lin, and her name is Lin Jingyin. She is a very intellectual and elegant woman. She is good at making romantic dramas. She is famous for her work "Swan Lake". Although it is not a big hit, it has a great reputation. It was good, but then I seemed to lose track of my direction. The films I made were all relatively beautiful and artistic, but they were well-received but not popular.

Lu Ming briefly chatted with her, but didn't say much.

Lu Ming also had a brief chat with the other assistants and specialty directors.

Pilden sighed inwardly. It was obvious that the new boss was not satisfied with the directing team.

But the problem is that good directors are rare, there are only a few, and none of them are from Nadu.

"Bill? I heard that you were the first to be a director? Although your grades are not good, I watched the film you directed a while ago. You have a very good imagination and the scenes are very cleverly arranged."

That was still a movie from the silent era.

Pilden looked a little embarrassed, "Really?" He didn't feel that the film he directed was any good, he just felt that the whole screen was full of embarrassment.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "What is missing is just the sound. In the silent film era, you are not suitable. But with narration, dialogue, and specific music to enhance the atmosphere instead of just background music, it is another matter. ”

Sighed: "Originally, I prepared twelve scripts for the company to shoot from this fall to next fall, one script a month."

"But now, Director Lin, I am going to write a script for a male version of Cinderella for her. She must be very delicate in filming, and the vulgarity of the Cinderella story is from the bottom of her heart, and no audience can resist it. It's vulgar, so Director Lin doesn't have to deliberately shoot in vulgarity. She can shoot in a very elegant and artistic way. In this way, vulgarity becomes elegance, and the audience will feel the kind of vulgarity in the beautiful pictures. The pleasure of vulgarity."

As Lu Ming spoke, he thought of Roman Holiday. However, if he copied it, his investment would not be in line with his small, fast and clever idea, so he must make some changes.

Pilden didn't know what the new boss was talking about, let alone what Cinderella meant, so he could only smile awkwardly.

As for the new boss saying that he wants to make twelve movies in a row, I’m a little scratching his head. No, he met a liar, right?

Lu Ming thought about it and said: "Director Jialin started working on thirteen films, but the twelve films in this series..." He glanced at Pildon and said, "Bill, otherwise, you can try Try? ”

Pilden was startled and immediately shook his head. After all, he had been away from the directing team for twenty years and was already out of touch.

Lu Ming smiled: "In this way, you first have a look at my concept for the first film, the entire story, and my thoughts on how to arrange some scenes during filming."

Pointing to the pamphlet in Park Souna's hand, Park Souna hurriedly handed it over. The boss asked her to take it with her when he came, but she never dared to read it. Unexpectedly, it seemed that it was a script prepared by the boss or something.

Lu Ming handed the pamphlet to Pildon and said with a smile: "This, whether it works or not, you have to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else."

"I just think about it. Our surrealist movies are basically mythological dramas about gods and monsters. This is also inseparable from the various difficulties encountered in the exploration of our world. Early humans were very concerned about their surroundings. The place that cannot be explored is very confusing, thinking that it is the gate of **** created by God, and there is no return. Now we know that the environment is harsh and electromagnetic storms, but our traditional culture still has too many mythical thoughts. ”

"This is also reflected in film and television. Most of the surrealist dramas are about gods and monsters."
