Maybe what is not suitable for Zhang Feng is just right for him, Wu Di?
As for other options, there are naturally many. For example, hasn’t Wu Di been promoted to Boss Wu now?
Now that we all own a film company, do we still need to think about the next step?
If it doesn't work out, you can just turn around and go behind the scenes and become the boss directly. These conditions are things that Xiao Qi does not possess.
He is a full-time director, and he is still on the way to climb the mountain of his ideals. If you asked him to start a company, he would not be willing.
Of course, in terms of personal personality, Xiao Qi is not more suitable than Xiao Wu.
This is a very real problem, and it is not something Wu Di deliberately brags about.
In this case, such a rare opportunity must of course be left to Xiao Qi to establish his presence. Wu Di, as one of the main creators, naturally has to follow suit.
The main purpose is not to show off oneself, but to keep an eye on Dian Xiaoqi, a person who is not good at words, so that he doesn't do bad things on critical occasions.
Wu Di would conscientiously complete the activities he was supposed to participate in. As for the opportunities to shine, he would leave them all to Xiao Qi.
When he said this, Xiao Qi was so moved that he burst into tears. How could he know that it wasn't Wu Di who was generous, but that these activities were really of no use to him.
Is this what he needs most now?
No matter how many activities you participate in and how luxurious your clothes are, can you get a definite award?
What he wants is a prize, not a chance to shine.
Only when he gets the prize can he complete the system's mission. Regardless of whether he can successfully untie the system in the end, at least he can complete the current mission.
According to the system's consistent behavior, as long as Wu Di completes a task, the system will stop for a long time.
During this period of time, he would not appear suddenly and arrange a new task, nor would he suddenly attack and harass Wu Di from time to time.
Boss Wu's place can finally be a little cleaner.
Being able to accomplish this small goal was enough for Wu Di to be excited. He didn't care at all now whether he was untied or not.
Wu Di, who was far away in Shuicheng, had already made a plan for the next step, but his family members who were still behind in the capital received unexpected news.
"You're saying that there seems to be a funding problem with Brother Hai's new movie?"
"Is this really true?"
The famous director Lao Zhang, who was preparing for the premiere of San Yan Er Pai, rarely spared some time, not because of his good daughter Zhang Feng, but because he was concerned about Brother Hai's affairs.
This is really...
It makes people think more...
After Zhang Feng received the news, he ran to Lao Zhang without stopping to show his courtesy.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Feng with such a cold personality would not do this, but this time, she did it.
Mainly because as his own daughter, Zhang Feng is the one who understands Lao Zhang’s concerns best.
Although he says he doesn't care, how can Lao Zhang really not pay attention to Brother Hai's new movie?
That's a big movie!
If you don't pay attention, you may be able to win another big trophy, and the limelight will be greater than that of Lao Zhang!
Although, even if Meng's Orphans won the award, Brother Hai still couldn't compare with him in terms of the thickness of the award-winning works.
It's always a bit worse, but for Brother Hai, if he really succeeds in this step, it can be foreseen that he will definitely shine in the next few years.
After all, awards also require freshness.
Although Lao Zhang has many award-winning works, most of them are old and have a strong sense of history.
As the saying goes, a good man does not mention his former bravery, and the same is true for Brother Hai.
Why is he so criticized now?
Are you always questioned about your ability as a director?
Isn’t it because his award-winning works are too far away from today’s era?
The same crisis actually happened to Lao Zhang. Now Lao Zhang is in urgent need of a brilliant work to let the audience see his value again.
The sword never grows old, I can still continue to shoot.
At the same time, he does not hope that his main competitor will make rapid progress recently. In his opinion, "The Orphans of Meng" is a very important work for Brother Hai.
If it succeeds, this will be a new path for Brother Hai that can be used all the time, and the situation will be opened up.
If it fails, then for Brother Hai, who has lost two consecutive games, he will have to explore a new path. In short, it will be impossible to surpass Lao Zhang's results in a few years.
Wu Di kept saying that he was helping him get information, but in fact, in the end, he didn't get much real inside information.
On the contrary, it was his own daughter, who had never had high hopes for him, who brought such news, and Lao Zhang immediately became interested.
"Of course, if I hadn't gotten the exact information, I wouldn't have dared to report it to you. Do you think I am such a hasty person?"
Zhang Feng looked at his biological father proudly, and it was regarded as a success in front of him.
Regardless of their daily performance, they always seem to be at odds with each other, but it can be seen at critical moments.
After all, they are still biological.
We can't rely on Wu Di as a good son-in-law, we still have to rely on our daughter.
Zhang Feng would not tell Lao Zhang the source of her information, and Lao Zhang would naturally be very sensible and not ask any more questions.
It's not necessary.
It is enough as long as the message is accurate.
"So, what is he going to do now?"
"Will you finish filming this year?"
Zhang Feng shook her head. She was really not sure about this. She couldn't talk nonsense about something she wasn't sure about: "I really can't say for sure."
"If we can find additional investment quickly, there should be no problem, because the main scenes have been filmed, and now there should be only some finishing parts left."
"It doesn't take too long to shoot these things, and it doesn't require too much money. With Brother Hai's ability, it won't be a problem to raise this amount of money."
Zhang Feng used an uncertain tone. If she really thought this was not a big deal, given her personality, she would not run home to report to Lao Zhang.
"In this day and age, the investment in making a movie can only count as part of it, and the follow-up publicity expenses are the bulk. You are also a movie maker, so you should know this very well."
Lao Zhang has always been a reserved person, so these words are enough. No matter how unpleasant it is, he can't say it out loud.
If there is a problem with the financial chain before the movie is finished filming, it is really not a trivial matter.
Especially for a famous director like Hai Ge and a huge movie like Meng's Orphans, the difficulties are even greater.
In this era, there are more and more blockbusters with tens of millions of dollars invested. It seems that money is not money at all. In the past, it was enough to make two or three movies. Now, it may be difficult to make even one.
Such a huge investment will naturally involve huge cash flows of investment companies. It can be said that in the face of such a blockbuster, the pressure on the shoulders of investment companies and film producers is great.
However, the goal of the producer is still much simpler. No matter what, we must insist on finishing the movie and never give up halfway.
However, it is not so easy for investment companies.
Since you have invested in this movie, you are obviously betting on the good rate of return after the movie is released. As long as you can really make money, in order to achieve this goal and you can persist, you still have to persist.
Of course, reality is also very cruel.
Many things cannot be accomplished just by persisting.
Money is a very real issue. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. As an investment company, you can’t borrow money to support Brother Hai’s movie dream.
Besides, the situation is already very clear.
The main culprit of the broken capital chain is the main investment company. The main investors all have financial problems, which means that all subsequent work will be temporarily suspended.
This is no small matter.
"So, Lao Zhang, would you like to think about it? Would you like to delay it any longer?"
What Zhang Feng was alluding to was naturally said in two words.
Originally, Lao Zhang had no intention of competing with Brother Hai. He was planning to wait until July or August to release San Yan Er.
Although the schedule is not a popular one, it matches the overall atmosphere of the movie. If it is a romantic movie that focuses on snow scenes, it would only be more suitable to be released during New Year's Eve or Spring Festival.
These are also very particular.
There are also types of romance movies that are suitable for summer, such as those set on sunny beaches and palm trees, but it can't be snowing heavily anyway.
As for Sanyan Erpai, generally speaking, it is an environmental background of the Gobi desert, and the plot changes of the story are relatively monotonous.
The colors of the picture are also relatively bright. Generally speaking, compared to other months of the year, summer is a better choice.
Of course, another reason for releasing it as soon as possible is that I don't want to encounter Brother Hai. As the saying goes, the king does not see the king.
However, if there is a problem with the filming on Brother Hai's side and it cannot be released as scheduled, it seems that Lao Zhang can reconsider it.
After all, the Spring Festival is still a battleground for military strategists.
It is commonly said that a pig can be sold at a good price even if it is put into the Spring Festival stalls. This is the truth.
Despite the fierce competition in the Spring Festival stalls, every inch of land is precious, but once you squeeze in, you are almost guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything.
The size is different!
Take the Master as an example. Don’t look at her failure in the Spring Festival stall, which seems pitiful. However, during the Spring Festival stall, it can at least guarantee a return on investment.
If such a hugely invested movie is released on a normal schedule, it will definitely not be able to make back the money, let alone the money back. It would be a kindness to lose less money.
This is the reality.
But putting it in the Spring Festival period, although the cost was very high and it caused ridicule from the crowd, at least the money was recovered.
The same goes for San Yan Er Pai. Although this is a toy movie, Lao Zhang didn't put too much effort into this movie.
We don’t expect it to achieve both word-of-mouth and box office success, but if we can get a good schedule, we can still consider making money.
how?
Lao Zhang is a famous director, doesn't he think about making money?
There is no doubt that all directors who are currently striving to be released in theaters are not concerned about box office results and do not want to make money.
Even if artistic pursuit is the biggest goal, making money will be a small goal.
The reason is very simple. As long as you go to the theater chain, you need to communicate and coordinate with the theater chain, and you also need to spread the publicity, which all require funds.
If this is done, the investment amount will rise slowly. If there is no profit, will investors go to drink the northwest wind?
As long as you want to make money, you must strive for a better schedule, and Lao Zhang is no exception. With his signature and previous achievements, as long as he covers up the plot of the three-part film, it will be released until the Spring Festival
It's not impossible to release it again.
By then, at least the box office results will be good.
Brother Hai's movies can't take part of the box office. By then, I'm afraid the only blockbusters in the Spring Festival will be San Yan Zhi. Isn't that just a win?
To win by lying down means that you can make money by lying down, even if it is a bad movie, you can still fool the audience, that's what it means.
However, there seems to be a lack of interest in such a wonderful suggestion.
"This is not necessary. Procrastination will lead to change. We will proceed step by step according to the original plan. As for Brother Hai, we don't need to worry about how he will deal with it. However, with his ability, he should be able to find a new home soon.
.”
Lao Zhang spoke very quickly, but his eyes showed that he was very slow.
Of course, Lao Zhang would not squeeze in the Spring Festival period. He has never had such an idea. It is just an experimental work. As long as it can make back the money, it is enough.
What Lao Zhang is more concerned about is the audience's response.
What will they think?
Obviously, this movie is completely different from Lao Zhang's previous style, and even many of his loyal fans may not have imagined that Lao Zhang would make such a work.
Will the audience recognize Lao Zhang's new attempt? Will they think it is also a masterpiece?
Although Lao Zhang will not continue to shoot movies of this type in the future even if he gets good reviews from the audience, but for a director who is still at the peak of his creation and has become famous, he hopes that any new attempt can be successful.
Get recognition from the audience.
This directly proves a director's ability to control.
Compared with directors who insist on shooting the same type of movies, directors who can control multiple types of movies are certainly more capable.
Although in the eyes of the audience, Lao Zhang's abilities seem to have been finalized, Lao Zhang himself does not think so.
In the vast world, he still has a lot to do!
Therefore, Lao Zhang is not too concerned about the release date, as long as he can follow the process step by step.
Recently, the approval for San Yan Er's filming has also come through. Obviously, the progress on Lao Zhang's side is much smoother than that on Brother Hai's side.
As for Brother Hai, as for the movie, if it is delayed for another day, it will waste another day of funds. The already broken capital chain is really made worse by the delay day after day.
hehe!
If this continues, even if the movie can be finished and barely released, it will be impossible to make money back.
It seems that fortune is still on his side, Lao Zhang. Before he can take action, Brother Hai will throw away his armor.
Now, he should be worried and have straw on his head!
Brother Hai was indeed in a hurry, mainly because he couldn't catch the prey that he had planned long ago, which made him anxious.
