Therefore, the agent brother, who thought he was smart, didn’t say hello to the manufacturers at all after perfunctory work. Why should he say hello?
One is to increase the doubts of the manufacturers and damage the company's reputation. The second is that the company is not really planning to take a rest, so naturally there is no need to say hello in advance.
As the saying goes, hide on both sides and deceive on both sides, this is how it works.
As a result, now that the power has boarded the plane, everything is irreversible!
We can only bite the bullet and face those advertisers who are wealthy and difficult to get along with!
To be honest, this little girl from Cifang is also very pitiful. She obviously has shares in the company, so she can be considered one of the bosses.
You are already the boss, shouldn’t you be the one who makes the decision and has the final say?
Why should we still be controlled by the company? Accept the mercy of the company? Or even bully?
In the final analysis, this is the gap between ideal and reality. The power does indeed own the company's shares, and it is not just a meager amount, it can still account for a few points.
However, when it comes to matters like shareholders, the final say is always the big bosses who hold the largest shares. As for other small shrimps, even if they have shares, all they can guarantee is that they will receive their shares on time.
As for the right to speak, it cannot be said that there is none at all, but it is not too much.
Furthermore, in the eyes of the company, although you are a big star, you are also promoted by our company, and in the end, you are still considered our company’s work.
You serve the company, why not?
Therefore, it has always been a difficult choice whether to open a personal studio or join a large and powerful company.
Every choice has its own pros and cons. Let’s not talk about studios, let’s talk about big companies. Since your success depends on the company, it is natural for the company to squeeze you.
Otherwise, what kind of housekeeping skills do you have?
What are your specialties?
For example, musicians often do not have such a close relationship with their companies. Although they may have conflicts from time to time, they are not like actors who make earth-shattering troubles when contract issues are discussed.
Not that serious.
After all, musicians still rely on their own talents to make a living. In today's world, there are too few musicians who rely solely on company packaging and cannot compose lyrics and music themselves, and it is extremely difficult for them to become popular.
As long as the creative ability is still there, then you have the ability to make a living. If this company does not treat you well, or the creative philosophy is different, you can change to another company and you can still make money and make a living.
However, youth idols like Sisi and Cifang are different. People are young and they eat the food of youth.
If you want to talk about acting skills, you can't say they have none at all, but they are not much, at least not enough to support them to their current level of popularity.
So, what did they rely on to become so famous?
Of course it’s the company’s operational packaging!
As for the company, since it can praise you, it can definitely praise others. It doesn’t matter whoever it is, what’s the difference?
So, for this type of actors, what are their strengths and their capital?
It’s nothing more than popularity!
They are their loyal fans.
This can also be seen why youth idols always attach great importance to fans and popularity, and it’s okay not to value them!
Otherwise, how can we prove that they are different and irreplaceable?
No wonder fans often shout: We are the only brothers and sisters!
Let’s put aside the crisis on the second side for now, and let’s see what kind of difficulties Lao Zhang will encounter when everything goes well.
Just as Lao Zhang was actively preparing to announce the starring lineup of the new film, unexpectedly, a sudden news came to him.
That day, Lao Zhang was admiring the tropical fish raised by Wu Di. He had a lot of fun watching the colorful fish swimming back and forth in the glass tank.
But at this moment, the cell phone dinged, and Lao Zhang lowered his head and saw that it was Ms. Ranmasanti.
His prospective in-laws!
"Ms. Lan, how are you doing lately? You actually have time to call me?"
If it were anyone else, Lao Zhang would naturally not say this. No matter how busy he was, could he still be as busy as him, a great director who is preparing for a new film?
However, Ms. Lan is different.
After several contacts with Ms. Lan, Lao Zhang was convinced. Ms. Lan is indeed a strong woman. She handles a lot of work every day and is not as busy as usual.
Even he can only accept defeat.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a busy person like Ms. Lan to call him for no reason. Before picking up the phone, Lao Zhang had made such preparations.
Ms. Lan is not the kind of person who deliberately talks in roundabout ways.
Without any extra courtesy, he said bluntly: "Old Zhang, have you received a call from the studio?"
"The phone number from the set?"
From the tone of his voice, he probably didn't receive it.
Ms. Lan sighed softly: "There seems to be a problem. The news I received here is that the venue you built seems to be demolished by the local department because it destroys the original pattern of the ancient building."
"Before filming starts, you should contact the local area quickly to find out the situation."
Venue issues?
How can this be?
He personally took people to discuss the issue of the site, and construction started only after everything was settled. How could this possibly go wrong?
Besides, this ancient house is also a key tourism project in the local area. It can be said that the local people have high hopes and are very supportive of inviting a great director like Lao Zhang to shoot a new movie.
Something must have gone wrong!
After hanging up the phone call from Ms. Lan, Lao Zhang couldn't wait to dial Li Kuan's phone number. Since choosing the shooting location, he has been responsible for communication and setting up the studio.
Why has the news reached Ms. Lan, but he, the executive producer, hasn’t informed him yet?
As soon as the call was dialed, I heard a noisy sound coming from Lao Li's side, as if it was a construction site.
"So the news has reached Ms. Lan? It was too fast!"
"quick?"
"You still feel fast?"
It seems that it is indeed true, and Lao Zhang's tone is even worse.
There was nothing to say. Lao Li naturally looked ashamed and murmured: "Hey, actually, it has been a few days since this happened. However, I want to wait until everything is resolved before I tell you. I won't delay at that time."
Just turn it on and it won't delay your publicity."
"I don't think so..."
Nothing is delayed?
He said it nicely!
Under Lao Li's continuous questioning, Lao Li could only tell the truth.
In fact, this should have been done a long time ago. It was because he was afraid of trouble and taking responsibility that he delayed it until today.
If it weren't for Lanmasanti, Lao Zhang might still be in the dark!
To be honest, this incident happened suddenly, and Lao Li had no preparation at all.
The international director Lao Zhang wants to shoot a movie in a local location, and the main scene takes place in this small house. Of course, the local authorities are quite supportive.
What kind of influence does Lao Zhang have?
How much did his movies gross at the box office?
Everyone is as clear as a mirror, very clear.
Moreover, people coming to film a movie will not only bring publicity to the local area and bring popularity to this small town in the northwest region, which is not particularly economically developed, but at the same time, this movie is also a single-scenario movie.
A single scene!
Do you understand?
do you know?
This means that the activity area of the entire movie is limited to this house, and at least 90% of the scenes take place in this courtyard.
Gotta shoot here too!
This is a godsend publicity opportunity for the local ancient building tourism project that wants to be promoted.
Therefore, Lao Zhang made it very clear about the local attitude when he went to the interview, that is, even if the money was offered, he would support it to the end.
As for Lao Zhang, he is a face-saving person. Of course, he cannot let the local people work in vain, and he will provide all the funds that should be provided.
Of course, an appropriate discount would be the best thing.
In this way, the willingness of both parties to cooperate is quite strong, so what is there to say? After Lao Zhang left, according to his idea, the props team and the scenery team stationed in the ancient house.
Even if you want to express the original style of the Song and Ming Dynasties, it is still a movie, and many scenes need to be temporarily constructed.
Up to this point, everything went smoothly without any problems.
However, as the project unfolded, conflicts arose.
Suddenly one day, the crew was building a mid-air support for the subsequent action scenes.
This is because Lao Zhang was inspired by the classic "Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger". Those light and elegant bamboo forest fights are simply pleasing to the eye.
After seeing it, Lao Zhang was also very moved.
Unfortunately, the genre of his films at that time had nothing to do with martial arts. Even if he wanted to learn from it, he had no way to start, so he had to give up.
This time, since we want to move closer to the suspense theme, we can try it.
So using the unique internal structure of the ancient house, Lao Zhang planned to design a few fighting scenes to have a good time.
What is a mix and match?
What is a cinephile movie?
It’s our "Three Words and Two Shots!"
Lao Zhang didn't even tell Lao Li what the specific content was. He wanted to keep it secret until the official start of filming, so Lao Li would supervise it from time to time.
Originally, the project was progressing smoothly, but he did not follow the team at the scene and returned to the capital.
Lao Zhang’s team is still trustworthy. They are a team that has worked together for many years and has rich experience. They are also familiar with Lao Zhang’s shooting preferences. They can set up the general framework first without Lao Zhang’s step-by-step guidance.
This is also done to save time and to do all the preliminary work. After that, the director can directly join the group for filming.
Very efficient.
As a result, facts have proved that laziness and laziness are unacceptable in doing anything. This kind of thinking must not be allowed.
This is said to both Lao Li and Lao Zhang.
If you had done everything yourself and followed the team throughout the whole process, such embarrassing things might not have happened.
A few days after the official start of construction, Lao Li received news from the crew that the local cultural protection department came forward and requested that the crew not destroy the original architecture of the ancient house, including the interior decoration, etc.
To put it simply, in one sentence, everything should remain as it is, otherwise, the filming will not start on time!
"So, why am I not working hard too?"
"I am now supervising them and adjusting all the parts that can be dismantled and modified. I will try my best to meet the requirements of the local cultural protection department and your requirements."
"How did I know you actually called me in advance?"
"But how did Ms. Lan get the news?"
Logically speaking, Lao Li and the local cultural protection department are still in discussions, and nothing has been finalized yet, so the news should not be leaked.
Besides, it’s still directly to the investors.
"I didn't ask, is that important?" Lao Zhang fumed, Lao Li's way of handling it was obviously not to his liking.
Old Li paused and understood what he meant.
"Of course it's not important, it's not important."
"But of course our arms can't twist the thighs. Since they said they can't change the original look, we can only modify the scenery."
"Would you like to take a look?"
Lao Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred. Wasn't this a trick on him?
It was clearly stated at the time that he could make the decision in everything, and the local department also fully supported it. The crew would also try their best not to cause damage.
At that time, everyone agreed very well and signed a contract. The contract was clearly written and both parties had witnesses.
As a result, a backhand came up that said no damage was allowed.
What is destruction?
This definition was too general. At first, Lao Zhang also had concerns about this. After all, it was an old building that was more than three hundred years old.
It is a real cultural relic and needs to be treated with care and caution.
The contract also took into account the particularity of this movie, and added a clause that while protecting the overall structure of the cultural relic building, limited modifications could be made only within the scope of the movie shooting.
Since the contract was signed, it means that the local department at the time also agreed and approved it.
We are making a movie, not protecting and restoring ancient cultural relics, so we naturally have to make certain changes.
How can you be so dishonest and change things on the spur of the moment?
"I have a press conference recently and I really can't get away from it. In this way, you can talk to the person you're connecting with. As long as we film it first, we can talk about anything later."
"Regardless of the facilities built, including other ancillary facilities, they can be restored to their original state after the filming of the movie. Can this be guaranteed?"
For the director, the most important thing is to start shooting the movie first and not to affect the progress. Other things can be put later.
If you let me take the photo, I can restore it for you. What's wrong with that?
Doesn’t my Lao Zhang’s creditworthiness still reassure you?
"As I said, how could I not think of such a method?"
"What did they say?"
"Still don't agree?"
Eighty percent of the time it is, otherwise the demolition would not have continued.
Lao Li nodded: "Yes, they don't agree. They said that this was what was promised in the previous Mantou movie. As a result, the local department allowed them to set up the scene for filming first and then restore it to its original state. Later, you will also know that the restoration was not complete.
, and even many places could not be restored, the local vegetation was completely destroyed, and they even faced lawsuits."
Well, there seems to be such a thing.
Brother Hai, Brother Hai, you are really my lifelong enemy!
