Chapter 466, "Operation Mekong"!
There are three thousand nails in the broken ship. It is impossible to destroy Zhao Tai overnight.
Although many parties publicly stated that they would terminate their cooperation with Zhao Tai, they still supported his partners.
There are also some projects that Zhao Tai himself invested in, which cannot be broken up.
Li Zhifan is not afraid of waiting. He has time and is patient, not to mention that this is not something worthy of recklessness.
In mid-March, the Shiyi official blog announced two film projects in the "Two-year Plan" - the 1.0 version of "Operation Mekong" and the 2.0 version of "Operation Red Sea".
If it is an ordinary commercial film, it can be announced at the Shiyi Line establishment press conference last year.
However, the themes of these two films need to be approved by several of the highest departments in the country, so they have been delayed until today.
And just the day before the news was released, all the procedures had just been approved, including the Ministry of Public Security, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, the Military Commission, the General Political Department, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even the State Council.
As for radio and television, the highest level of the entertainment industry in the past was just a little brother in this project.
Li Zhifan made a lot of modifications in both movies.
First of all, there is Operation Mekong, because there is no "Mekong Tragedy" that shocked the world, but there are not many people who were brutally killed in the Mekong River, so Li Zhifan deleted or changed these details in the original movie.
The issue of drug-owl is a security issue for the people of the world and a major theme for promoting peace.
Then comes Operation Red Sea. The history of evacuation of overseas Chinese in China has been around for nearly ten years, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese in the Middle East has been implemented many times.
Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, and Arabia have even had many evacuation operations.
In this movie, Li Zhifan hid the name of the specific country, only using the city name, or a homophonic name, the old name.
The two stories about Li Zhifan were discussed for several months by the above departments, and even specially selected specialists from various departments to form a special group for a meeting to discuss.
Because the details are too real, they have doubts about Li Zhifan, but after verification, they found that all the detailed parts can be found online, so they relaxed their vigilance.
There is also a discussion point, which is whether these two movies can be made?
This is also the topic that the group has held meetings many times in the past few months.
It was not until the State Council approved the review and sent a specialist to join the group to command the matter.
Li Zhifan's side is actually very simple. The script is given to China Film directly by the time line. As for whether it can be filmed and how it is filmed, it is all about China Film.
However, what Li Zhifan regrets is that due to the national conditions, the two films only have part of the shooting rights and a little box office share. In addition to China Film and Television, Datou also has film and television centers, art centers, etc. in various departments.
However, these official additions have also brought some benefits to this drama, that is, they are hard-working. Moreover, once the news is exposed in the future, it will definitely shock the whole country, and even the whole world will be shocked at home and abroad.
The reason why Li Zhifan is not afraid of commercial films is that he is making these two political films is also paving the way for himself.
Pure commercial films like "Baby Plan" are not impossible to shoot, but even if you win the box office, you won't get too high scores in terms of reputation. If you make such two political films, you will be a lifelong business card. No matter where you go or in any era in the future, you will still be a well-known golden sign.
Online.
Netizens are full of expectations for these two movies, but at the same time they can't help but complain.
The reason for complaining is that the title of the movie is entered.
Because the official blog only announced the movie title, and didn't say anything else, and there was not even a poster, everything was highly confidential, so the audience felt confused.
"Li Zhifan is really abolished. The first movie is the plan, the second part, the third part is the action, and the fourth part is the goal."
"After planning and action, shouldn't it be successful?"
"Haha, after saying that, Li Zhifan's naming is really not very good."
"But this time it's different? It's the Mekong River and the Red Sea, are they all abroad?"
"Don't think about it, it must be a funny movie. Maybe it's another action comedy movie. I won't film it in Hong Kong this time, so I'll go abroad to make trouble."
"If this is true, it's really hard to mess with."
"Why are the two names exposed? Version 1.0 and Version 2.0?"
"Are you going to create a series? If it sells well, there will be 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 in the future?"
"Stop talking. If you really want to tell me it, I'm afraid I'll have been revolving around this series of movies in recent years."
“…”
The discussions of netizens, media reports, and the confidentiality of timelines make these two movies full of mystery.
The crew had already low-keyedly reached the China-Myanmar border and began preliminary preparations.
Take a look, recruit actors in the local area, arrange the starring actors to experience local life, adapt to the local climate and environment, etc.
As a director, Li Zhifan has supreme power, so even if the state-owned ministries and commissions participate, the people sent will listen to him.
There is probably only one who is not under his command, and that is money!
Whether it is investment in the timeline or the investment in funds raised by the ministries and commissions, the unified responsibility of China Film and Television is the responsibility of all kinds of weapons, aircraft, cannons, police cars and military vehicles, and the border military and police are directly responsible for all kinds of weapons, aircraft, cannons, police cars and military vehicles.
Many people in China still have the understanding of border military and police. They still have the knowledge that they are stationed in the mud in the tropical rainforest. They don’t eat well and have insufficient equipment. This is because of the result of many youth films with military themes in recent years.
This result is not because they did it deliberately, but because they can only rent out elimination or outdated equipment. They can't even mention the latest weapons, let alone borrowing them.
So those military dramas had to put all their efforts into other aspects, and even added bloody plots. Perhaps it was because of the equipment that the director did not want to film more!
Early April.
Li Zhifan led the rest of the creative team to reach the China-Myanmar border.
In another world, director Lin Chaoxian stayed in the border area for more than half a year in order to make this movie, and went deep into those villages alone every day to experience life.
So many local details of this drama are shot very authentically.
Although Li Zhifan did not do the same, he also spent half a month painting and went to the local residents' villages every day to inspect them.
If you find that this world is inconsistent with another world, you will immediately modify the script.
It was officially started, and it was the end of April. The start-up time was not notified to any domestic media, nor was it announced on any social platform. Even the actors and staff under him signed a confidentiality agreement to prohibit the disclosure of all information related to the movie.
This time the shooting is a top secret operation!
Chapter completed!
