The more developed the entertainment industry is, the more things go wrong in the entertainment industry.
The rise of the online world has brought interaction and communication between people to an unprecedented level. Information that was previously only available through television, radio, newspapers and magazines can now be obtained immediately with the help of the Internet.
The Internet has also brought celebrities, idols and artists far more attention than before, but at the same time, negative news about artists will be magnified exponentially on the Internet, easily triggering a frenzy of public opinion.
The same rice feeds all kinds of people. In this circle, there is a mixture of good and bad, more and more people are entering, and negative news is constantly being exposed, which makes the public's negative impression of the entertainment industry continue to deepen.
In recent years, scandals involving drug abuse, prostitution, cheating, drunk driving, and fights among celebrities and entertainers have become frequent visitors to the entertainment pages of the media. They often make headlines, leading to the continuous expansion of social influence.
Under such circumstances, the relevant national departments had to promulgate corresponding rules and increase the punishment for celebrities who violate laws, regulations or morals. It is no longer the "three drinks as fine" as in the past.
Wan Xiaoquan was imprisoned for one and a half years for assaulting someone and causing injury. Although his crime was extenuating, rules are rules, and they are laws that everyone must abide by. The two-year ban period is considered a leniency.
Therefore, in the past two years, Wan Xiaoquan could not make a movie, nor could it be released or broadcast. Of course, no film and television production companies and investors would come to him.
The way left for him is to either retire temporarily or find another job.
In fact, the impact of this kind of ban is far-reaching. Directors like Wan Xiaoquan are better off. If it were an idol artist, two years would be enough to completely drive him into the abyss and never be able to do it again.
Turn over.
However, for Wan Xiaoquan, sitting on the bench for two years can still support his life, at least he will not starve to death.
But it is undoubtedly a great suffering to no longer be able to engage in a career that I love and have dedicated my whole life to.
Compared to the previous two years, Wan Xiaoquan feels at least ten years older, and her temples have become gray.
So when he saw the script of A Chinese Ghost Story that Lu Chen came up with, Wan Xiaoquan was first excited. He felt a wave of heat welling up in his body, quickly permeating his whole body and making him feel as if he had regained the vitality of life.
But when I thought about my situation, it was as if a basin of ice water was poured on my head, and I suddenly woke up.
This feeling is really difficult to describe in words.
Wan Xiaoquan couldn't help but clenched his fists because of the inner struggle, and his knuckles were bulging and turning white due to excessive force.
Lu Chen saw this and sighed secretly in his heart.
Of course Lu Chen knew the trouble Wan Xiaoquan was facing, but since he had come up with this script, he must have been prepared: "Teacher Wan, I would like to ask you to be my guide in this movie."
There are policies and countermeasures. Wan Xiaoquan cannot be a director in name, but there is no problem in being a consultant and guidance. To put it bluntly, he is selling dog meat to others and circumventing the ban rules.
But in this way, even if the entire movie is directed by Wan Xiaoquan, his name will not appear in it. Whether it is publicity or subtitles, he is equivalent to the existence of an "invisible man".
This is undoubtedly a compromise. Lu Chen only proposed it after understanding Wan Xiaoquan's situation. If the other party is because of drug abuse or something, then no matter how talented Wan Xiaoquan is, Lu Chen will only stay away from him.
After all, if he asked Wan Xiaoquan to be the film director, he would be taking risks.
Wan Xiaoquan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was an insider, how could he not understand what Lu Chen meant?
This method is completely feasible. Although there is no direct honor as a director, what he needs most now is a job, not honor!
"actually"
At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly said: "I have a suggestion."
Lu Chen quickly said: "Teacher Zhang, please tell me."
This middle-aged man, whose surname is Zhang, is a senior independent media person and one of Wan Xiaoquan’s few friends.
The middle-aged man said seriously: "Xiao Lu, if you want to ask Lao Wan to direct your movie, I suggest you take him to Xiangjiang!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "Going to Xiangjiang?"
"Yes, go to Xiangjiang!"
The other party smiled and said: "You may not know that at the beginning of the year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a new regulation."
This new regulation of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is specifically targeted at the film industry in Hong Kong and echoes the film industry support plan of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It is intended to help revitalize the film industry in Hong Kong.
Xiangjiang's film industry was extremely brilliant in the 1970s. After Xiangjiang returned to the motherland in 1977, a large number of local films were released in the huge mainland market. Urban films, comedies, ghost films, police and gangster films, etc. deeply influenced several people.
In this generation of young people, a number of film and television stars have emerged.
There are even many third-level pornographic films flowing into the mainland and played in places such as street video halls.
However, this prosperity did not last long. Due to serious homogenization and endless shoddy production, it was gradually disliked by the audience. Coupled with the booming development of the mainland film and television industry, Xiangjiang Film suffered a huge impact. After entering the new century, it
It didn't fall down quickly.
As a result, many practitioners went north to seek development, and the brain drain continued, exacerbating this decline.
Over the past ten years, Xiangjiang Film has been seeking breakthroughs amid difficulties, and has produced several good films. However, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to restore the grandeur of the past.
Filmmakers in Xiangjiang have also been calling for government support. It is against this background that the new regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the support plan of the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region Government were brewed.
Wan Xiaoquan's old friend further explained in detail: "You don't have any foundation in the film industry. Instead of competing with so many powerful opponents in the capital, it would be better to jump to Xiangjiang and start something new, such as opening a film studio."
"
“The Hong Kong government’s film industry support plan is not only effective for locals. Any film production company registered in Hong Kong can enjoy preferential and supportive policies, and can also participate in sharing the local film market in Hong Kong, while also radiating to the treasure island, Japan
and Southeast Asia!”
"The most important thing is that according to the new regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, films produced by Xiangjiang can apply for a green channel for approval and broadcast. Once approved, they can be released simultaneously in the three major domestic theaters and small and medium-sized theaters!"
“This alone makes it completely worth going to Xiangjiang!”
Lu Chen's heart was pounding!
