"That was just to prevent you from receiving the movies of Lao Huang and Lao Tian. Do you understand what is commonly known as "Jie Hu"?"
Wu Di: Collapse...
I understand?
I understand shit!
Director Huang!
Sweet guide, wait for me!
Wu Di, who had been teased by Gu Mei, felt completely powerless when he returned to the hotel, as if he had lost his soul.
He was not that disappointed after losing the film date. What broke his heart was that he failed to see through Gu Mei's little trick.
Before Gu Mei exposed the truth, he naively thought that Gu Mei might really want to ask him to make a movie.
Isn't this stupid?
It’s hard to believe that someone would believe Gu Mei!
He clearly knows that she is petty and vindictive, and he has offended her, yet he still has some illusions, which is simply unrealistic!
Extremely!
How could Han Jingjing know where Wu Di was in bad mood at the moment? When she saw Wu Di passing by in the corridor and sticking out his little head, she wanted to accuse him and ask him for a big meal. But in the end, she saw Wu Di
Just passing by her room like this, I didn't even see her. Her face was as dark as something, and she didn't dare to speak. She shrank back like a little snail.
Huh……
Is Boss Wu angry?
That's no small thing!
Although Boss Wu is usually a temperless person, and he is very kind to Jingjing, even if she often plays tricks and offends him, he is rarely angry.
However, the more such a person seems to have no temper, once he loses his temper, it will be like a mountain and a tsunami that can swallow up everything!
Anyone who knows how to handle things should know that at this time, it is necessary to hide as far as possible. Anyone who wants to come forward at this time is guaranteed to become cannon fodder in a second.
Wu Di passed by the corridor angrily, his eyesight blurred. He would most likely not be able to see Zhang Feng, let alone Han Jingjing, suddenly appear in front of him.
Not to mention the new American and European movies, even the new movies of Lao Huang and Lao Tian have been released. Who would have thought that he, who has always been cautious, would encounter such a disaster?
no!
We can't just stay depressed!
Go find Lao Zhang!
The losses suffered by Gu Mei must be recovered from Lao Zhang!
Lao Zhang: Where are all this?
Why does it have anything to do with me?
When I saw Lao Zhang again, it was only forty minutes after the banquet ended. When Wu Di came in, Lao Zhang also noticed that his face was very dark.
Recalling that I saw Wu Di and Gu Mei talking very unhappy before, I guessed it was 70% to 80% likely.
"Xiao Wu, Gu Mei is like that. When she was in school, no one offended her. She was always eccentric and had a very weird temper. Look at me, I usually have a temper, but when I meet her, I can't
We can only admit defeat."
"I understand, and I'm not angry either. However, I guessed right. Director Gu didn't want to make a film with me at all. She said that just to prevent me from receiving other people's films. I felt a little unhappy.
"
Lao Zhang nodded. He completely understood Wu Di's mentality.
"I am very respectful and sincere to all the seniors. When I was filming The Wife, director Gu asked me to be an extra. Later he thought that my performance was not bad, so he wanted me to play a small role. I can guarantee that
, During the filming, I was serious and didn’t do anything perfunctory, but as time went by, Director Gu became more and more dissatisfied with me.”
"To be honest, I can't figure out why."
How could Wu Di not know what was going on? He was just showing off to Lao Zhang. In fact, Lao Zhang also understood what Wu Di was thinking. However, he also knew very well that his old classmate liked to do this kind of thing.
of.
In this aspect, she is indeed a talent.
"What's the point? Do you think Lao Huang and the others will listen to her? It's just that we haven't had a suitable project recently. When we have a project, we will definitely think of you."
"That's great!"
"Thank you Mr. Zhang."
Wu Di's tears came very quickly, and after a while, his eyes were full of tears. His acting was so outstanding, but it didn't impress Lao Zhang.
This kid is really versatile and can do whatever he wants.
"Xiao Wu, you came to me so late just to complain about Gu Mei?"
"No way, it's not that simple!"
I don't know if it was the delusion of drinking, but Wu Di suddenly felt that after drinking, Lao Zhang became a lot more amiable.
Not so scary anymore.
It seems that alcohol has a much greater impact on Lao Zhang than on Wu Di.
"Actually, Mr. Zhang is right. I do have something to ask you."
"Say it!"
In fact, Lao Zhang has already noticed that Wu Di's behavior on the set has been very abnormal these days. Even the other actors in the crew can see it. How could Lao Zhang not see it?
It's just that Wu Di can hold his own, and Lao Zhang naturally doesn't want to challenge him. The filming schedule is so tight, and Lao Zhang is too busy to keep up, so why bother himself?
"If I tell you, just hold on and don't lose your temper."
What does this say?
By now, Lao Zhang has learned a lot about Wu Di's temperament. This young man does have many advantages, but he is not without his shortcomings.
Just like now, it's just a matter of one sentence. Whether I agree or not, you just say it.
If you say it and I agree, then everyone will be happy. If I don't agree, what will you lose?
If you have to test in such a roundabout way, you will be afraid of hurting your harmony.
This may be some of the shortcomings of people who have always adhered to the good-guy tactics.
However, there is no need for Lao Zhang to worry now, because trouble is already around the corner and Wu Di can no longer delay it.
"Mr. Zhang, it's actually like this. As you know, after I finished filming Skin Change, I took over another movie. It was a suspense film directed by a newcomer. The quality of the movie was very good and the director was very attentive. Of course.
, I also named myself."
"Because this is the work of a new director, I would like to ask for your help."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing this, Lao Zhang not only did not refuse, but his expression was very dull.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
"Being your producer? Or producer?"
It can be said that nominal producer is a common practice in the industry. Supervisor is actually a position that is not very noticeable in the film and television drama department.
But in fact, the producer has a great say in the filming of the film. Whether it is shooting or the control of the entire process, it falls within the jurisdiction of the producer.
He has the right to speak.
As for this position, it is usually filled by seniors and senior figures in the industry.
As for supervisors, of course there are two types: real supervisors and nominal supervisors.
For example, for a well-known director like Lao Zhang, who doesn't get out of his job easily, it's okay to let him be the producer, but obviously, it's impossible for him to go to the set and actually guide you during the shooting.
He won't meddle in such noisy matters, so it can be seen at a glance that this producer is just a person in name only.
It is equivalent to protecting the new director and telling the industry, including the big bosses in the theater chain, that this is my person, so everyone should give him a little more face.
Many times, when a master guides his apprentice, he often uses this method. I don't really help you direct, but I use my identity to help you.
Real-power producers, as the name suggests, often follow the team. During the filming, they direct the entire filming. Even, in many cases, it is tacitly understood that some producers are the real directors. This film is actually
It is the brainchild of the producer, and the director is actually in name only.
Lao Zhang thought it was some kind of trouble, but it turned out that he just needed to find a nominal producer. This was easy to handle, and it was not like Lao Zhang had never taken on such an errand in the past.
It's just that when someone invites him, he needs to give him a small amount of money. This is what he should do. Wu Di opened his mouth and let it go.
He is already a son-in-law, how can he ask for money?
What's more, Lao Zhang also understands how it is possible to make a loss-making business. Of course, he has already planned it.
Don’t you, Wu Di, still want to continue filming Sanyan Erpai? Then this investment...can it be accommodating?
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. Lao Zhang can make back this money no matter what, and he will not lose.
Lao Zhang looked at Wu Di expectantly, waiting for his answer. Wu Di couldn't bear to look at his positive look.
"Mr. Zhang, it's not about hiring a supervisor. It's like this. Although the director Qi who works with me is young, he is very capable. I can guarantee this, and he is also from a serious academic background, so we want to sign up.
Three grand prizes, give it a try.”
Lao Zhang frowned: "I have heard a little bit about Xiao Qi, but he is a pure newcomer. He should not have participated in major film festivals before."
Wu Di felt ashamed and said: "You are right, I really have no relevant experience, so I am a little worried. I want to ask you for help, but I am afraid of troublesome you."
Wu Di was very confused, fearing that Lao Zhang would refuse on the spot.
You know, acting as a recommender for the Big Three is something that sells more face than being a producer. Although for Lao Zhang, it may be just a phone call or a letter, but the face contained in it can be
It's all inside.
Very big.
It's also very heavy.
Wu Di was very worried. He didn't know what Lao Zhang was thinking. He was very happy when we talked about the producer just now.
Even take the initiative to help!
"What's the trouble? Which film festival do you want to participate in? I'll prepare it. Give me a few days and I'll write a letter of recommendation for you."
"How do you know we want you to help with recommendations?"
Lao Zhang burst out laughing, laughing at Wu Di's cunning and naive nature: "What's unimaginable about this? Since you are going to participate in the film festival and the finished product is already shot, do you need me to supervise the quality? Of course you can only let me
I helped recommend registration."
As soon as Lao Zhang guessed it, Wu Di could only admire him. It turned out that Lao Jianghu was different. Many things could be seen through at a glance.
Wu Di is still like a little snail, hiding and refusing to reveal his true feelings to others.
In fact, the seniors have already seen it.
The so-called recommendation is actually just to help Xiao Qi get double insurance. In fact, if Xiao Qi's ability is really as good as he imagined, he can sign up directly. There are also a long list of judges responsible for selection at major film festivals.
.
There are also judges who are specifically interested in films of a certain type or region, and they will naturally focus on their points of interest.
Then, as long as your work is of high quality and eye-catching enough, you can naturally attract the attention of the judges.
Of course, with Lao Zhang's recommendation, it will naturally become even more powerful, and the attention at the film festival will increase steadily.
Many times, you don't even need to pass the preliminary election and you are promoted directly.
"Mr. Zhang, we want to participate in the Water City Film Festival. Can you watch it?"
Whether it works or not, of course you have to listen to Lao Zhang. You must know that the recommendation of the film festival is not from Turin. For example, according to Wu Di’s memory, although Lao Zhang has won many international awards, among the three major ones, the
His closest and best relationship is with the Xidu Film Festival.
The Xidu Film Festival always gives Lao Zhang nominations. Even if he doesn't win, he is still nominated. Lao Zhang is definitely a frequent visitor to the Xidu Film Festival.
If the film festival that Xiao Qi and the others want to attend is Xidu, it is almost a matter of a word from Zhang. In that case, Wu Di will not owe too many favors.
This can be considered a good thing.
"Shuicheng, that's fine. There's not much difference. If it's Cannes, it's a bit difficult. But I can still speak to the other two. However, as a recommender, I'm also very serious."
"After all, the three major awards are still recognized as the highest film awards, and the entire selection process is still very formal and rigorous. You must show me the rough cut of the film, and I also want to meet the director Xiao Qi in person.
.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is no problem!"
Wu Di quickly agreed, as if he was excited: "The fine editing has been completed, and now we just need a publishing and distribution license. However, our film does not have any inappropriate scenes, so it should be approved."
"I also said hello to Xiao Qi. He is free at any time and can come here to meet you."
"All right!"
"You decide the time. Let me know when the samples are sent, and I will also take a look at the current newcomers' shooting ideas."
Wu Dilian said a few words, but of course he would not say no at this time. Even now, right now, if Lao Zhang told him that he would invest some more, he would not shake his head.
Of course, Lao Zhang wouldn't go so far as to take advantage of the situation and rob him. He didn't even mention this kind of thing.
As a human being, you still have to pay attention to some so-called rules.
Although Lao Zhang is a famous director and has a seniority, he will never forget this. If things are done well, he will naturally have no worries about investment in the future.
Even if there is no this one, there is always the next one.
You can't rush for the moment, you can't. There will always be opportunities in the future. He is your own son-in-law. How can others take advantage of it?
Can't run away.
However, seeing Lao Zhang agreeing so happily, Wu Di was beating a little drum in his heart. Why is this?
He always felt that something was not right. He and Lao Zhang had been together for a long time, and Lao Zhang was not that easy to talk to.
What happened this time?
To be honest, the recommendation of the three major sponsors is a great favor, that is, if Wu Di dares to say this, if it were Xiao Qi, no matter how talented he is and how good the movie is, you might find him.
