If they get married now, the two of them will become a husband and wife team, and their images among the audience will be firmly tied together.
In fact, it may not be a good thing for the future personal image of both parties.
On the contrary, if you just stay in the couple stage, it doesn't matter. After all, a couple is still an open relationship.
Personal images will not be constrained by each other, and the impact on the individual will be relatively small.
"I think this way for the sake of Xiaofeng's future. She is still young and her image is at its best. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to develop her career, if she marries Wu Di too early, she will inevitably form the perception of a husband and wife team.
In this way, her personal commercial value will be reduced in the future."
Of course Madam also understands what Lao Zhang said.
However, she still puts women's emotional investment first.
Obviously, Zhang Feng still loves Wu Di very much and is very emotionally invested in him. Women, even in the entertainment industry, are often at a disadvantage emotionally.
What Madam is most worried about is that once Wu Di changes his mind, Zhang Feng will be hurt.
"You are just overthinking. Although we have to prepare for a rainy day, we can't think too far into the future."
"So what if I get married?"
"We are all in the industry, can't we see these things clearly? The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will break up, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and it is normal for us to unite and then break up."
"You are so nervous now. What will you do if you urge them to get married and divorce later?"
"Aren't you broken yet?"
"You old man!"
"How long have you been, and you are still showing off your knowledge!" Madam was so angry with him that she had nothing to say and could only give up.
However, although she no longer discussed the matter with Lao Zhang, she still did not give up.
He secretly decided to find an opportunity to find out what Wu Di was thinking.
In this matter, it's not up to the man to decide, it's up to the wife to take action.
On the other side, Wu Di was sitting on the sofa, watching Teacher Tony working non-stop, holding scissors in one hand and playing with Zhang Feng's long hair with the other, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
What a miserable person!
Your name is Pain!
Although this is also the pre-smartphone era, even mobile phones with mechanical keyboards can enjoy a variety of entertainment, such as surfing the Internet, listening to music, and watching videos.
Even if you are sitting here, you will not feel bored.
However, Wu Di was still helpless.
Mainly, for men, staying in the same state for a long time without changing at all is a kind of torture.
It’s the same reason that men don’t like shopping.
Similarly, women may not necessarily agree with the things that men like, and some of them are also intolerable.
Like playing games? Like fishing?
Let’s put the game aside for now and let’s talk about fishing.
In fact, from a woman's point of view, fishing is also a waste of life and time and a hobby with little gain.
The harvest rate is not as good as going shopping. After all, you can buy beautiful clothes and bags, get a perm, and get a new hairstyle.
And what about fishing?
Tsk tsk...
According to the level of many experienced fishermen, they really can't catch any good fish. Many times, they can even sit by the river for a whole day without catching a big fish.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for sitting by the river like this, and that is a waste of time and no gain.
It is simply incomprehensible that some people are still interested in something like this, and that it is still a very popular sport.
A good date was taken away by a perm, which made Wu Di very regretful.
However, the long wait also gave him a lot of time to relax and seriously consider the many problems he faced.
The skin-changing matter has come to an end. Next, preparations for Xiao Qi's new movie will begin.
When Wu Di thought about becoming an assistant director, he felt a little guilty. After all, there was no systematic help this time.
Although he secretly speculated that the system might not have resources that could be provided, Wu Di did not want to open his mouth.
What are you doing asking about these things?
Not interesting.
Isn’t it just about making movies?
The quality of the works of many actors turned directors is also good. Now he is just an assistant director in name. As long as Xiao Qi is there to poke him in the front, he doesn't have to worry about showing his timidity.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you show your timidity.
Xiao Qi should be prepared for this. Wu Di financed it. The so-called assistant director just wanted to have a name. Many such people, after obtaining the right to authorize, often do not really invest their energy in doing this.
The control of the scene and the structure of the film all belong to the director personally.
Wu Di is also a kind person. As an actor, he has to be called an assistant director. Of course, he is bullying Xiao Qi because he is a newcomer.
But this kind of bullying has limits. After all, he did not deprive Xiao Qi of his right to sign, and when it is officially released, Xiao Qi's name will of course be in front of Wu Di.
Xiao Qi will not be deprived of his honor, nor will he be reduced to a poor gunman director.
This exchange is fair and reasonable.
Xiao Qi did not suffer any loss, but as for Wu Di, in fact, it can only be said that he did not have any merit, neither did he take advantage, nor did he suffer any loss.
As for what the situation will be like after the filming of this movie starts, I really can't say for sure now. It depends on how well the two people get along with each other.
Regardless of whether he was really going to be a director or just pretending, all in all, he was deceived by this fake name.
It’s also explained to the system.
Anyway, when the system announced the task, it didn't clearly say that after becoming a director and directing and acting, it was necessary to actually direct or act.
In fact, regardless of whether Wu Di's task is easy to complete, in fact, this task is quite complicated.
Don’t forget one thing, that is, direct and act yourself.
What do these four short words represent?
This at least shows that both the director and the starring role must appear in the same movie, and the two cannot be separated.
This means that if Wu Di starred in a movie and directed another movie, but the two movies are different, it still cannot be regarded as completing the task.
This task is honestly quite tricky.
Without Yuan Dafei's divine help and sending him such a script, Wu Di really didn't know how he would have completed this task within half a year.
Think about it, with his qualifications, if he wants to direct and act, he can basically only make small-scale films.
Those blockbusters that easily cost over RMB 100 million will never get his turn.
Besides, if he were an investor, he wouldn't give him a chance to direct someone who has not yet established himself in the acting circle.
who is this!
What's the origin?
You've only acted in two movies, and you're so blatantly talking about making movies, you're crazy!
Not to mention big productions, even small and medium-sized productions, it is extremely difficult for investors to trust their abilities.
Just like Ranmasanti, as a film investor, many times when they look at a project, they just focus on whether it can make money.
If you can make money, even if the script is poor and the director's level is average, that's no problem. Money is the most important thing.
However, when the actor Wu Di is placed in front of investors, who can believe in his profitability?
Probably only his biological mother, Ms. Ramashanti, was willing to try investing in him.
Therefore, if you want to complete the task of directing and acting on your own, there are actually many obstacles and it is not that easy.
Not to mention, if you want to direct and act yourself, you must have a script.
For film directors, they rarely use screenwriters, and many of them write their own scripts and shoot them themselves.
What does Wu Di have?
He has neither a ready-made script nor a co-writer. There is no real thing, and no investors will give him a look.
Therefore, from all aspects, cooperation with Xiao Qi is a wise move.
You see, the script was provided by Xiao Qi and is ready-made.
As for the director, he was also the first director of Xiao Qi Gua, so he could just follow and drink soup from behind.
Wu Di has always been a person with clear goals. This time, the goal he set for himself was to improve his acting skills first.
After all, it can be predicted that in the future, he will still focus on the profession of actor. As for the director's skills, it is of course the best to improve. If it is really not easy to master, then it is okay to just use the name.
The most important thing is that Xiao Qi also has this wish.
As a new director, it is difficult for Xiao Qi to get enough financial support for a film of this type.
This is why he has been graduating for many years, but he has not yet been able to put this student work on the big screen.
This is because, firstly, he is not famous and no one trusts him, and secondly, the subject matter of the movie is limited.
Based on his script, if it were the era that Wu Di traveled through time, maybe it would be better to just film Wang Da.
It is estimated that it can attract a lot of investment.
But going directly to theaters is indeed a bit of a hassle.
The main thing is that not many investors are optimistic about such a subject matter. Of course, this does not mean that our theater movies do not have unpopular and uncommon ones.
But those kinds of movies often have a reason, such as public welfare, local construction, or the local government's cultural and entertainment department takes the lead in funding, mainly to promote local scenic films.
Films of this type generally do not make money, and what’s even more frightening is that in many cases, they don’t even get a single award.
When a director shoots this type of movie, he is completely making a contribution and dedicating himself.
However, Labyrinth does not belong to this category. In terms of broad classification, although it is visible to the naked eye as a low-cost film, it is also a commercial film.
Yes!
Although we don't want to admit it, Our Labyrinth is really a commercial movie, although it may not necessarily make money.
After all, it is classified as a suspense film.
No matter which country or region it is classified into, suspense films are commercial films, so for Maze, it also shoulders a part of the function of making money.
Therefore, it is understandable why the popular suspense films on the market are mainly set in cities.
Although it sounds ugly to say it, it is actually true. Which audience is looking forward to a rural-themed suspense film released in the cinema?
There are really only a few answers, okay!
If Xiao Qi plans to shoot a pure drama with a rural theme, it might be more marketable than a suspense film.
For example, "Dong Ju's Lawsuit" or something like that.
The combination of suspense films and rural backgrounds gives people a sense of a combination of earthy and foreign, and a mismatch. I always feel that when these two forms are mixed together, there is a sense of being neither Chinese nor foreign.
However, Xiao Qi is still very persistent.
Although everyone said that such a choice of materials was inappropriate, he still wanted to maintain the core of the story.
This is actually a kind of risk. As the saying goes, high risks can lead to high returns.
This is what Xiao Qibo did too.
If some subjects that no one is optimistic about are successfully filmed in his hands, he will be the first to take advantage of them. In the future, more investors will see his strength.
Similarly, relatively speaking, this kind of country-type suspense film will save a lot of investment. Once successful, it will also be a typical example of a small gain.
Although it is definitely the most satisfying to start shooting a commercial blockbuster from the beginning, once it fails, the consequences will be quite unbearable.
Maybe I won’t be able to get up for several years!
Not to mention making movies, I'm afraid I won't even be able to shoot commercials.
Xiao Qi is not stupid. Although he is very stubborn in selecting materials, he has actually made risk predictions. For this kind of small and medium-cost film, whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, as long as it can occupy one side.
To be more clear, Xiao Qi still has a clear understanding of himself.
The possibility that his movie will be a box office success is extremely low, but it is very likely that it will get a good reputation.
After all, the quality of a movie is personally controlled by the director. As long as the director's requirements are high and not superficial, the quality of the movie can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at the box office, the audience votes with their feet.
It’s about asking the audience to pay real money, real money, isn’t it?
For this kind of thing, no matter how well the publicity is done and how thorough the preliminary preparations are, whether it can win the approval of the audience is not the director's final say.
If the audience says yes, then it is really good. If the audience doesn't approve, the more you prepare in advance, the easier it will be for the money to go down the drain.
Therefore, in Xiaoqi's case, he actually does not have high requirements for the box office.
Wu Di was introduced. Although he took away some of the authorship rights, he also promised a large amount of investment. With these investments, it can at least ensure that the filming can proceed smoothly.
Don't forget that in this movie, the only one with the most appeal is Wu Di. Compared to Wu Di, director Xiao Qi is too mediocre.
However, even Wu Di's appeal is extremely limited. After all, he has no accumulation of works yet.
If it were not for the determined Ms. Lan and her unique vision, if it were anyone else, many investors would hesitate a bit when seeing such a lineup.
The possibility of running away halfway is very high, but Ms. Youlan can rest assured.
From this perspective, Wu Di and Xiao Qi can be regarded as running in both directions.
Xiao Qi needs money, and Wu Di needs fame.
Of course, if there is no system to interfere here, Wu Di does not necessarily have to cooperate with Xiao Qi. After all, he only needs to make a film, whether it is a movie or a TV series.
He has many choices.
And what about Xiao Qi?
He was not so relaxed.
After all, the movie Labyrinth has its own limitations, and it's not easy to find a reliable investment.
After passing this village, there is no such shop!
