"Old Wu, go ask these people if there is anyone with whom you can communicate!"
"Okay, sir, I'll talk about it right away!"
Although Karasawa actually has no background, he still has to make some efforts.
The list given to Lao Wu includes all the investors in the film and television industry that he knows.
For example, Wang Zhongjun of Huayi, Yu Dong of Bona, Wang Changba of Guangxian, etc.
Naturally, if he wants to seek help, he has to pay accordingly.
For example, if New Movies joins their investment, they may make a movie for it.
He even found Zhao Yifang, the female chairman of Huaxin who will be the world's largest producer of film and television dramas in the future and loves making TV dramas.
However, these people, like Zhao Yifang, simply refused because they were not familiar with it.
There are almost no other people who are obviously willing to do things, but they like to whet his appetite by saying that the conditions have not been negotiated, and their attitude is extremely perfunctory.
He finally understands!
Maybe it's because he hasn't proven himself in theatrical movies. Even if he promises to make 100 movies for others, what's the point?
If the first part is a hit, the next 99 parts will be just empty talk.
Moreover, in fact, these investors believe that you get what you pay for, big investment brings big returns, cheap goods don’t mean good stuff.
They are not very optimistic about a budget of hundreds of thousands like "Camera Don't Stop!"
They can count on both hands the number of films in the country that have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, and almost none of them have been successful.
There is no benefit in working so hard for a movie like this, it is thankless.
If the movie fails, people will still laugh at their futile efforts.
Of course, more importantly, favors are much more useful than a movie, so they naturally have no obligation to consume favors for Tang Ze.
As expected, asking questions one by one is just a waste of time.
Tang Ze did not give up, so he hired some well-known directors.
The results can be imagined.
Even though "This Man Comes from Earth" brought him a lot of honors, he is not popular in the real director circle.
Some directors are even hostile to him because he introduced some film resources to the Internet.
For example, traditional directors such as Chen Kexin, Chen Kaige, Guan Fu, etc.
They dismissed the filming techniques of "This Man Came From Earth" and ignored the achievements it created, thinking that Karasawa only relied on marketing.
Lu Chuan, on the other hand, seemed to appreciate him quite a lot. He praised "This Man Comes from the Earth" in the tone of a senior and also praised him.
However, in his words, Lu Chuan repeatedly mentioned several of his movies.
Tang Ze always felt that Lu Chuan was trying to compete with him rather than helping him.
As expected, there was not a single word "help" mentioned later.
Just when Tang Ze was about to give up asking for help from the director, his cheap sister Xu Qing came to him with Jiang Wen.
As soon as she came, she said very enthusiastically: "My brother, when you are in trouble, you ask for help everywhere, how can you not come to my sister?"
Jiang Wenze said: "Since you are Xu Qing's friend, I will ask you to call me Brother Tang. You can call me Brother Jiang, Director Jiang or Jiang Wen... Well, don't say it, the title of Brother Tang is quite affectionate.
, like a cousin!"
Tang Ze shook hands with the two, but he remembered that someone said that Xu Qing was born in a political family, and his aunt and uncle were diplomats, which made him feel a little hopeful.
However, Karasawa was disappointed in the subsequent conversation.
Diplomats and cultural departments are incompatible with each other. If diplomats are really allowed to interfere, it may be an act of overstepping their authority.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Don't be disappointed, "This Man Comes from Earth" made me look bad. People everywhere on the Internet called me a vixen who seduced you."
Hearing this, Tang Ze was a little embarrassed. He had never heard of it. Could it be the speech of some fans?
Because Karasawa has not posted photos for a long time, his number of female fans has grown day by day, and has long surpassed his original combatants.
In addition, the only female star he is close to is Xu Qing in the movie, so it is inevitable that female fans will be suspicious.
Seeing Tang Ze's embarrassment, Xu Qing chuckled and stopped teasing:
"Well, "This Man Comes from Earth" has indeed helped me a lot, and I am sincerely here to help you. The department that deducted your script happens to have connections with Jiang Wen, so he will bring someone here!"<
/p>
Tang Ze then handed over to Jiang Wen: "Director Jiang, are you willing to help me with this?"
Jiang Wen quickly raised Tang Ze's arm: "Hey, no matter what, we are all friends! Moreover, I am very interested in your script about the hardships of filming."
"People nowadays always like to think of how great and mysterious directors are."
"But a script like yours reveals the process of making a movie. In fact, many people have put in the hard work. So let's talk!"
Jiang Wen is truly a strange man, he doesn't care about anything concerning human relationships.
Xu Qing seemed to have known this would happen, and she smiled and nodded with Tang Ze, then looked at the two men and started chatting.
However, the subsequent conversation with Jiang Wen allowed Tang Ze to see what kind of director Jiang Wen was, who did whatever he wanted.
We just started to discuss the script of "Don't Stop the Camera!". Originally it only involved some details, how to make the hardships presented in the movie more shocking.
But as we talked about it later, the topic became more and more biased, and Jiang Wen became more and more excited about it.
He made some suggestions that seemed to enhance the drama of the movie, but were extremely unreliable.
For example, resurrecting the zombies of several high-ranking officials in the country to enhance the irony. The TV station director in the movie does not need to be original. There is material in reality, and it can be an appropriate metaphor.
The most outrageous thing is that Jiang Wen thinks that the final five-pointed star curse is completely meaningless, and everyone who survives should be allowed to kill each other.
Including the producer and director, no one was left alive, and the zombies became the final winners.
Damn it, are you making a movie, or are you promoting the spirit of zombies?
Of course, bragging is bragging, and Jiang Wen is not a member of this movie, so stop clicking.
But Jiang Wen was indeed brave and said that he would definitely persuade the people he had connections with to help Tang Ze.
Before leaving, he also made a suggestion to Tang Ze: "Brother Tang, if you feel that something cannot be done, just give it up and stay away. Don't get into trouble!"
Tang Ze didn't understand the true meaning of these words for the time being, but he just didn't believe Jiang Wen was telling the truth. He himself had made banned films, right?
For example, that movie "The Ghost Boy Is Coming".
Then Jiang Wen said: "I was too young at that time, but now..."
He hesitated for a while: "I will definitely take half of the pictures. You have to be tactful, you know? Even if you want to express something, you put it up so that they can't see it, and you can guess it yourself!"
Maybe it’s Jiang Wen’s temperament that makes the future “Let the Bullets Fly” so many metaphorical plots?
After the two left, Tangze felt a little better.
But just before, Lao Wu stared at Xu Qing's back and muttered: "Isn't 38 years old a bit old?"
Tang Ze almost jumped up.
Fortunately, Xu Qing didn't hear it, otherwise she would have had to fight for him.
But why is Lao Wu acting so weird lately?
Could it be that you are attracted to Xu Qing?
That's not right, he is older than Xu Qing... older.
Unable to figure it out, Tang Ze stopped paying attention and waited on pins and needles.
The next day, when Tang Ze thought he was waiting for good news about Jiang Wen, he heard something said that made him not know whether to cry or laugh:
"Brother Tang, I'm sorry for you. That **** grandson is so unreliable that he broke up with Yaodian and broke up! This is too disgraceful to me, a shame and a huge humiliation!"
Tang Ze was in a daze: "Break up..."
"Yes!" The other side said loudly and forcefully: "So this person should be careful when making friends, even if it is a girlfriend."
"That guy is too stingy and breaks up with him just by talking. I have to persuade my brother when I get back so that he won't be too sad, so I'll just hang up now!"
"Of course, Brother Tang, remember to come to me if you have anything to do in the future. I have to save some face."
"Dududu..."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze looked at his silhouette in the sunset and found that they were twisted and out of shape.
