So, on the surface, compared to Wu Di who needs Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi actually needs Wu Di more.
Definitely.
Of course, that's just on the surface.
In fact, Boss Wu is also very anxious. It's all because of the rush of tasks!
Of course, these difficulties cannot be told to others and must be hidden secretly. Fortunately, Xiao Qi is also a newcomer and does not care so much about these trivial things.
right!
The most important thing is not to care.
For example, for some experienced and senior directors, they may be able to notice something strange as soon as Wu Di takes action.
For example, if you don't work but still have a name, if you ask a big director, someone who is already famous, he will never agree to it.
Unless his brain is broken.
But Xiao Qi is different. On this issue, he can still negotiate and compromise. He lacks funds. In order to display his works well, necessary sacrifices are required.
You always have to negotiate terms!
Otherwise, why should others invest in such an unpopular movie like yours? You are still a complete newcomer.
Although, as long as you work hard and grind the iron pestle into a needle, maybe you can find investors if you run for a while.
But, to be honest, even if he is found, the conditions offered to him by those investors may not be more generous than those offered by Wu Di, and may even be more tricky.
For example, they modify the script at will, such as inserting characters that don't exist at all, just to praise their own artists.
For a new director, maintaining the integrity of the work is the most important thing.
You know, new directors and new actors often face the same situation, that is, they must make the first shot.
If the script is changed or strange people are inserted, the quality of the movie cannot be guaranteed.
Definitely.
You don’t need to film it and watch it again, you can predict it just by using your brain.
Boss Wu is different.
Although I don’t know why Wu Di insists on naming a director in a movie for a newcomer like him, but by naming him, he will not interfere with the filming of the movie, and at the same time, he can provide sufficient funds.
Where can I find such a wealthy man with a kind heart?
Besides, Wu Di himself also has certain value.
You see, The Master has been released, and the skin change is now a big hit. As the leading actor, Wu Di's popularity is rising sharply.
For a director like Xiao Qi, an actor of Wu Di's level is completely enough. After all, his movie focuses on rural themes.
Generally speaking, actors have to look ugly to participate in their movies, making themselves look shabby and filming under a dingy light. To be honest, not every actor is willing to make such a sacrifice.
Even if his script is very good, others may not be able to read it.
After all, in this era, there are really not that many big-name actors who are willing to help newcomers and who are suitable for their own scripts.
First of all, the male protagonist required for the movie Labyrinth is relatively young, which eliminates some of the industry's big names who are willing to promote new directors.
So those newcomers...
It's really difficult to find the right one.
After all, most new male actors have to pay attention to their image. They must maintain a good image in order to be able to accept various endorsements. How can a disgraced actor do that?
It's not impossible to act ugly.
But it must be valuable. People are very realistic, and you can't say there is anything wrong with reality.
Either win the prize or have box office results.
However, looking at it, the maze does not fall into these two categories.
In terms of box office, it is a country-themed movie, and in terms of awards, it is a suspense film. These two genres are disadvantaged in terms of the two purposes they want to achieve.
It's purely unreliable.
So, at the beginning, Xiao Qi's idea was very simple. As long as he got investment, he would go to his fellow students at the film school, those fledgling vegans.
They don’t have much experience in social life. If you give them a script, they will act according to the director’s requirements honestly and will not deliberately add many of their own ideas.
This is also a good choice.
After all, a lot of expenses can be reduced in terms of the salary of invited actors.
However, people, when there are better choices, they always have to give up those spare tires. For example, Wu Di is the better choice.
He already has a certain degree of popularity and can bring a certain amount of attention and even box office to a newcomer's work like Labyrinth.
After all, this newcomer only became famous during the New Year period, which means that this is the time when Wu Di is the most popular since his debut.
At this time, Maze can take advantage of this trend by starting filming. On the one hand, it will broaden the influence of newcomer Wu Di, and on the other hand, it will also allow newcomer Xiao Qi to gain more attention.
This is definitely a win-win deal.
"I didn't expect that someone would ask you to name yourself as a director. You're crazy!"
While Wu Di was happily planning his future, the system jumped out.
Spoiling other people's interest has always been his hobby.
"I want you to take care of it?"
"If you don't agree, why don't you help me find a way?"
The system quickly denied: "What can I do?"
"I've said it before, I'm an actor, not a director. I can't help with this matter."
"Since you can't help, just wait until you can help before you come out!"
"Are you annoyed?" Wu Di was very dissatisfied.
The system is a little panicked.
"No, we are still partners, how could I really not care about you."
Haha, that sounds nice.
Wu Di ignored it, but it came up to it on its own.
"Why don't you think about it, what do you need for your new movie?" The system gave sincere suggestions.
But Wu Di no longer believes in it. This is a piece of trash that goes back on its word. It’s better to count on yourself than to count on it.
"What do I need?"
"I need a director's gift package, do you have it? Can you provide it?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you say it like this, it will be boring. How can we continue talking?
"Although I don't have a director's gift package, I still have an actor's gift package." The system sold well.
"Didn't you say that the tasks of directing and acting cannot be divided, and there is nothing you can do about it?" Although the system's attitude is very good, Wu Di is not stupid.
"This is because you didn't think carefully. You forgot that in addition to being the director, you also have to star in this movie. Are you sure you won't need my help then?"
Huh?
It seems to make some sense.
Naturally, there was no reason not to accept the help that came in vain, so Wu Di continued to listen, and the system was also very understanding.
Wu Di didn't need any further hints, he understood his mission.
He quickly revealed: "Look, you still have to star in this movie. Although I can't help with the directing aspect, the actor system can still play its role."
"As long as you are in need, I will sell all the gift packages to you at half price."
“It’s actually half price?”
When Wu Di raised his eyebrows, the system realized that he had said the wrong thing and refused to answer him for a long time, which made the system very embarrassed.
This is not an act of throwing oneself into a trap.
It seems that Wu Di didn't know that the pricing could be changed before, but now it's over, he knows everything.
I can't hide it anymore.
"Don't use your imagination. It doesn't matter if you have some tricks in it. Anyway, whether those points or real coins are handed over to you, I can't get them back. The pricing power is always with you.
, I am a person who only cares about something good if it is mine. If it is not mine, even if you take it away, I don’t care."
This is the open-mindedness that belongs to Wu Di.
If he were still the original Wu Di, he would not be able to accept the gifts and help from his biological mother Lanmasanti calmly.
If he was still himself in the previous life, he would never be able to get close to someone like Xiao Qi and still cooperate.
However, the current Wu Di is a combination of the two personalities.
Not only can he accept Ms. Lan's money without any grudges, but he can also exchange interests with newcomers like Xiao Qi. More importantly, his attitude towards money has also changed greatly.
To be honest, if it were the original Wu Di, facing such a large investment and money coming and going, he might not be so calm.
After all, he has never seen so much money in his hands, so his attitude towards money may be more cautious, and he may even get into all kinds of trouble because of money.
But Wu Di is different.
Although he ended up with huge debts in his previous life, it only occupied a small corner of his life and did not represent Wu Di's entire life.
In the long years of his life, Wu Di's temperament and attitude have long been finalized, and will not change decisively because of a sudden event.
Therefore, his attitude towards money is actually relatively healthy. Only when money is something that originally belongs to him will he feel angry if it is lost.
As for those things that originally belong to others, it is completely normal for them not to be able to get them. Even if they were put in front of him but they were not obtained in the end, he would not react violently.
After all, he has seen too much money.
He has always been generous and generous.
Therefore, Wu Di would not take it to heart even if the system conceals something small.
This is the fact. You are from the human society, and others are from the system world. What tricks are they doing over there? If you are here to close your eyes and listen, can you know?
You didn’t know that maybe those few points or money had already slipped into the pockets of the system.
It holds all the benefits, and you are completely kept in the dark. If you care about everything, then don't live.
Therefore, since you have chosen cooperation, the most important thing is that if you want to survive in this era, you must always make compromises.
For example, tolerate some thieves in the system.
The system was very touched when he heard that Wu Di did not intend to pursue the case.
Then he said: "You don't have to say that. What I can guarantee is that you will never suffer any loss if you cooperate with me."
"Also, maybe you don't believe me now, but my business ability in the system world is already very good. If I changed to another system, you might still be struggling with the first task!"
oh?
The first task?
Be obedient and listen to the key points, which are right now.
Although the system didn't say anything special, Wu Di still heard a little bit of it.
Are these tasks just like those mobile games that require a task tree? Whoever completes more tasks can be untied from the system as soon as possible?
"We have been cooperating for such a long time. I think we can be honest with each other. Can we tell the truth?"
Wu Di suddenly made such a move, and the system panicked.
"Of course, I've always been honest."
hehe……
Look at your behavior just now, can that be called candid?
joke!
However, although I was dissatisfied in my heart, I still maintained a little bit of grace on the surface. After all, there was no need to break my skin.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. How many tasks do I need to complete before I can be unbound from the system?"
If you want to be direct, let’s do the most direct thing.
Don't go around in circles. Making trouble for each other will not solve the real problem.
Now let's see how the system reacts.
Obviously, the system was not fully prepared for his question and was stunned for a moment.
There was no response for a long time.
When Wu Di thought it had lost its mind and was about to drive it away, it actually spoke again.
"Well, of course there are some ways."
"However, we are cooperating so well now. Do you have any objections to me? Do you want to be untied from me in a hurry?" The system was still aggrieved, giving Wu Di a headache.
It's very annoying that the system still distorts things even though it's clear that he doesn't mean it.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't worry, I didn't mean it that way, and I never thought about it that way. As long as you cooperate with me seriously and have a correct attitude, I don't have to change partners."
"You told me earlier, it made me nervous."
"Of course there is a way to untie it, but it's not the right time yet, so I can't reveal it to you yet."
Knowing that Wu Di had no intention of changing partners, the system immediately became nervous and the service attitude was particularly enthusiastic.
However, what Wu Di wants to know is currently powerless.
"Don't worry, I don't have that big ambition, as long as I have hope."
"Okay, I understand, you can go back."
"You can just come out when the movie starts shooting."
That's it, forget it?
Wu Di suddenly stopped taking things seriously, and the system was quite uncomfortable with it.
However, Wu Di's will is very firm and it seems that he will not pursue anything further. The system can only retreat in frustration.
Very unwilling!
I don’t know when it will appear next time.
Really been waiting!
A few days later, Xiao Qi sent news that the filming of Maze had begun. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wu Di also heard it.
He is here to urge investment.
This is too anxious. You should know that Wu Di participated in almost the entire process of this movie, and he is very clear about the specific progress.
Before, Xiao Qi had vowed to wait until early summer to start filming, but as it turned out, it was only March and spring had just begun, and he already wanted to start filming.
Although Wu Di also understood his mood.
However, after all, those huge investments cannot be approved by Wu Di just by nodding his head here.
