The place where Zhao Jianfeng and Hou Zhengde chatted changed from the hotel dining table to the elegant cafe upstairs.

After all, running for president of the China Film Association is not a trivial matter. Even if Hou Zhengde is confident and believes that it is inseparable, even he himself does not dare to take it lightly.

Although there are not many people in the industry eyeing this position, none of them are easy to deal with.

They are basically all well-known and respected figures in the film industry.

Under such circumstances, even if Hou Zhengde has confidence in the Yanjing Opera Academy behind him, he still has to keep his spirits up.

To be honest, he originally thought there was no big problem with this, but he didn't know why Zhao Jianfeng was so cautious, which was not in line with the young man's style of doing things.

Under the influence of Zhao Jianfeng, Hou Zhengde also became serious about it.

I went to this quiet cafe and discussed this issue for a long time.

Zhao Jianfeng probably guessed Hou Zhengde's inner surprise, but he did not explain. Could it be that the last time he was slapped in the face by Yang Ming was too hard, he had a deep understanding of how a cooked duck can fly.

Obviously you can't say this.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

It has to be said that even Zhao Jianfeng himself believed that he was in a similar situation. He had no choice but to be deeply vigilant about the unusual relationship between Yang Ming and Mr. Tao.

After a long time, the topic of the two people began to change. They talked about the internal situation of Victory Pictures, and somehow they got in touch with Yang Ming again.

"I heard that DreamWorks is cooperating with the military to shoot a movie. Do you know the details?" Hou Zhengde didn't want to say Yang Ming's name from his own mouth, so he replaced it with the name of the other party's company. This shows that he was deeply concerned about Yang Ming's name.

How disgusted this young man was.

Zhao Jianfeng thought for a moment after hearing this, his expression became slightly solemn, and he slowly said: "It's not a joint filming, but the military's assistance in filming. I asked someone to inquire about it. The military attaches great importance to this film, and not only provides all-round

I support it and even use the army to complete the filming. The most important thing is that I heard that the film should be completed and released in theaters soon. According to the revealed information, it should be about two months!"

"Two months? Impossible!"

Hou Zhengde had an expression of disbelief on his face when he heard this time. Although he couldn't deny Yang Ming's achievements in his heart, he didn't want to deny that this young man did have a skill in commercial movies.

Even he had to admit this.

According to his understanding of this young man, it would be difficult to shoot a large-scale war and military movie in two months.

"I don't know the specific situation very well. This is the information I heard over there, but the person I contacted repeatedly emphasized that the military has great support!" Zhao Jianfeng was also puzzled by this.

Based on his understanding of Yang Ming, he should not be able to make that kind of shoddy movie.

Although the details of what type of movie the other party is shooting have not yet been announced, judging from the current situation, it is definitely not a love movie produced with a low cost.

In this case, two months is definitely not enough.

Hou Zhengde and Zhao Jianfeng looked at each other, and then each thought for a moment. Neither of them thought about the reason why this time was so tense.

In fact, they don't know.

Although the filming of "Dragon Eagle Down" only lasted two months, preparations for this film began one month in advance.

In addition, the strength of the military's support was beyond their imagination.

It is entirely the Ministry of National Defense that endorses this movie. In this case, it is a huge problem for other crews. When it comes to the crew of this movie, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Even the crew in charge of props and costumes couldn't help but sigh: If every movie was like this, they would definitely be unemployed.

In fact, there is another most critical reason, that is, Yang Ming already has the original picture in his mind. What kind of lens is needed, what kind of picture is needed, and how it needs to be presented, there is no problem for Yang Ming.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Ming assured the military that as long as the support was in place, the location could be solved quickly, and two months would be enough.

It's a pity that Hou Zhengde and Zhao Jianfeng thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was in it. What kind of movie was made by Yang Ming?

"If nothing else happens, this DreamWorks movie should be released in theaters at the end of April or early May." Hou Zhengde said slowly, calculating in his mind. When he said this, there was a trace of emotion on his face.

An elusive smile.

If you are someone who knows him well, you will definitely guess what he is thinking when you see his smile.

Zhao Jianfeng was holding the coffee and saw Hou Zhengde's expression. Although he didn't know what the other person was thinking, he could guess a little. He put down the coffee gently, stirred it a few times with the spoon in his hand, and then looked up at Hou Zhengde: "What?

What do you think, Mr. Hou? Do you want to try making a movie in these two months?"

Hou Zhengde suddenly heard Zhao Jianfeng's proposal and looked startled, but he quickly recovered.

He thought about it carefully and quickly rejected the suggestion.

If he had enough time, he could still consider it, but the time was too tight, only two months.

The most important thing is that under normal circumstances, he rarely went out to fight with others in person in the past.

Even if he fights, he is still a person who matches his identity well enough.

"I don't have any good scripts at the moment." Hou Zhengde quickly rejected Zhao Jianfeng's suggestion, but he also found a good reason, "And if I want to run for president of the Film Association now, this is not the right time."

"That's true." Hearing what Hou Zhengde said, Zhao Jianfeng nodded, which was indeed inappropriate.

Just when he was wondering whether to block Yang Ming's film and make him look embarrassed in front of the military, Hou Zhengde continued: "I can't come forward, but I can recommend someone."

"Who?" Zhao Jianfeng became interested after hearing this.

"Xiao Gao." Hou Zhengde said with a serious face. Seeing that Zhao Jianfeng didn't seem to know who Xiao Gao was, he added: "Gao Xiaogang."

Hearing this name, Zhao Jianfeng suddenly realized.

It turned out to be this person.

He couldn't help but look at Hou Zhengde thoughtfully. He was really an old fox!

In recent years, in addition to Yang Ming, who is regarded as the most dazzling young director in the film industry, there are also several young directors who have also achieved outstanding results.

It's just that they were all suppressed by Yang Ming's dazzling achievements.

People unconsciously ignore them.

If we really count, these talents can be regarded as the younger generation of directors in the film industry.

Yang Ming is still too young.

In his early twenties, according to the understanding of the film industry, a young director can only be considered a young director in his early thirties.

Gao Xiaogang is one of them. This young director also has another identity, that is, he graduated from the Yanjing Academy of Opera and was once a student of Hou Zhengde.

"Xiao Gao has a movie being shot. I've read the script a long time ago. It's a good script. Xiao Gao is directing it, and the quality of the movie is guaranteed. Last time I talked to him on the phone, the movie was finished quickly, but he was on the phone at the time.

It is revealed that this drama is going to be released in the summer." Hou Zhengde said leisurely while drinking coffee.

"What cast?" Zhao Jianfeng frowned slightly. Even though Hou Zhengde had full confidence in his apprentice, and even though Gao Xiaogang had indeed gained a lot of fame in recent years and was favored by the industry, he still felt quite worried.

That guy's talent in movies is something that not everyone can match.

It's not like he hasn't suffered this before.

"The actors are okay." Hou Zhengde named several actors.

After Zhao Jianfeng heard this, he nodded slightly in his heart. Although this lineup is not an all-star lineup, it is still considered a capable one.

In addition, Hou Zhengde insisted that he had read the script of the movie and it was a good script. Zhao Jianfeng couldn't help but feel a little tempted again.

To be honest, he didn't expect this movie to completely overwhelm Yang Ming at the box office.

But as long as it can cause trouble for Yang Ming's movie, make the other party feel disgusted, and embarrass the military, then for him, the goal has been achieved.

"Okay, Mr. Hou will see if it is convenient these days and ask Director Gao to come out to have dinner together." Zhao Jianfeng thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

As for the production company and distributor behind the film, Zhao Jianfeng didn't even pay attention to whether the film's schedule had been confirmed and theaters had already been arranged.

For him, these are not problems.

"No problem." Hou Zhengde nodded with satisfaction.

Whether it was to avenge the revenge that had caused him so much embarrassment in the past few days, or to seek the position of president that he had been plotting for a long time, he was very happy with today's meal.

Ghost Dragon Alternate Base.

In the past few days, after the military training officially started, the actors of "Dragon Eagle Down" cried for their fathers and mothers every day. Even though they were already prepared to endure hardships, they were still intimidated by the military training arranged by Lieutenant Colonel Liu personally.

Wu Tianhao also played an important role this time. Taking advantage of his busy schedule, he pulled Yang Ming and asked: "Director Yang, will people die if we continue to practice like this?"

Wu Tianhao, who had always been proud of his physical strength, looked pale after several days of military training.

After going to bed every day, I don't want to move at all.

Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wu Tianhao's face that had become quite tanned over the past few days, but he still comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel Liu is a professional, and there are military doctors in the base on standby at any time. Nothing will happen."

Big problem!”

Hearing this, Wu Tianhao's face became even worse. Just when he wanted to continue crying, Yang Ming patted the other party's shoulder and said with an encouraging smile: "You have to work hard, you are the biggest member of our company in the crew."

A famous star must not be compared with those actors from the art troupe."

This time the filming schedule was tight and the task was heavy. Cai Gaoyuan found most of the actors in the film from the art troupe.

After all, the art troupe is a military propaganda unit, and all actors have some experience in making military-themed movies, and many actors are even from military backgrounds.

Under this circumstance, after these actors arrived at the base and started military training, their adaptation situation was much better than that of several actors from DreamWorks.

Yang Ming is also quite lucky to have Cai Gaoyuan as the assistant director of the film this time.

Otherwise, he might really make mistakes in this movie.
