"Mr. Tang, is this Miss Yingying?" Fang Cheng asked.
Tang Xiaobao came to his senses, nodded and introduced: "Yes, this is my personal assistant and my manager Yingying."
"Hello, Director Fang."
Yingying reached out and shook Fang Cheng's hand.
Everyone sat down together, and Tang Xiaobao asked the waiter to come in and serve the food.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
"Two drinks?" Tang Xiaobao suggested.
Fang Cheng quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, I have quit drinking for many years."
Tang Xiaobao asked with shame: "Then what do you do with your usual social activities?"
"If I don't drink, can someone force me to do it?" Fang Cheng said with a smile.
Tang Xiaobao gave a thumbs up and praised: "I appreciate this about you. Who the hell said that socializing and drinking are necessary in this circle? If I don't drink, what can anyone do to me, haha."
Fang Cheng sighed and said with emotion: "Actually, we will still lose a lot of opportunities. As for friends, forget it. Friends who really have to drink to make friends are not considered real friends. But in this circle, sometimes it is inevitable that
When there are no excuses, it is still difficult to truly keep oneself clean. Unless your status reaches a certain level, such as Mr. Tang in this circle, naturally no one dares to embarrass you. By the way, I heard that you acquired Haitian
entertainment?"
"Yes, we entered this circle just to challenge the authority and also hope to change the atmosphere." Tang Xiaobao said frankly.
This time it was Fang Cheng's turn to extend his thumb and said sternly: "Mr. Tang came to do this. It's really satisfying. It reminds me of the past."
"Come, let's chat while we eat. I won't force you to drink." Tang Xiaobao greeted with a smile.
Fang Cheng took a few bites of the food, took a sip of tea, and then started talking about his past.
"When I debuted, I was making movies. What I pursued were art films. But these days, art films are difficult to make and are not liked by the public. The quality of the people needs to be improved. In addition, investors are always trying to find ways to make some
It is simply impossible to make a good movie by cramming well-connected people into the crew," Director Fang said with a wry smile.
Tang Xiaobao said in surprise: "Isn't this too shameless for investors? But this kind of thing is rare, right? Not every investor can do this."
"No, no, no, Mr. Tang doesn't know something. It seems you still don't know much about this industry."
Fang Cheng waved his hand.
Tang Xiaobao became interested and said, "Come, let's talk."
"Art films are destined to be difficult to recover costs. It is almost impossible to sell them well. Most of the directors who make art films are true art lovers at heart. If you think about it, most of them are losing money. Most of them are losing money.
Investors are simply not willing to spend this unjust money, so they can only find those wealthy businessmen to invest, but these people have spent money,
There has to be some benefit. These bosses talk about being art fanatics, but at heart they are so nasty and shameless. They will spend a lot of money to attract those female artists, and then they will promise to give them the opportunity to make movies. How smart are the female artists nowadays?
Ah, how can we let them sleep in vain? Therefore, these businessmen can invest, but they just keep people coming in for various reasons."
After a pause, Fang Cheng became a little excited: "They slept with someone else, and we came to wipe their butts for them. These female artists only think about finding various godfathers all day long. How can they learn acting skills well? They don't even want to take lines."
Back, even after the entire movie is shot, you can only see stand-ins, and all the medium and long-range scenes are stand-ins. Finally, you find time to shoot a few close-up shots, and then you wait to get paid. This is not the case in the industry.
Is there a sixth princess? That guy takes on six dramas at once. Think about it, does she have the energy to film? There are quite a few female artists like this. If they join the crew, they will bring disaster to our director. You can't offend her.
If she doesn't tell her godfather, she will divest her investment in a minute. Let me tell you something. It's true. I was a colleague of mine, and when I was making a literary film, one sponsor sent eight female artists over. Eight
indivual
In it, no one can act. Think about it, there are several female characters in a movie, but they are not willing to play supporting roles. They all want to be the protagonists. My friend is really struggling. In the end
Helpless, I revised the script many times, adding lines and scenes to them. What was the final result? The film was shit. Those big-budget commercial films were okay, but they also had a crowding phenomenon, but the people
I have a big investment, but I also want to get my money back. At least I will spend money to hire a few young actors. Although my acting is bad, I have a lot of crazy fans and I am popular. Even if my acting skills are extremely bad, my movie will still be a big hit...
This industry is so bad, so later I angrily joined CCTV to do a variety show, but this industry is also the same, but the situation is slightly better... Oh, I won’t talk about it anymore, it’s all tears and anger.
!”
Tang Xiaobao and Yingying were stunned.
Yingying couldn't help but said: "Don't seek sponsorship from these unscrupulous businessmen."
"I think so too." Fang Cheng smiled bitterly: "But people nowadays are smart. People who can make money are not fools. No one's money is blown by the strong wind. They are all as smart as monkeys. If they want to
It’s very difficult to find sponsors and investors.”
Tang Xiaobao nodded and his face became a little serious: "I believe that most people still have their own bottom line. In other words, they still have a conscience. As long as someone stands up to change this situation, things will get better one day."
"That's why I said it's best for Mr. Tang to join this circle. You have strength and you have acting skills. Director Zheng Ping and I are friends. He mentioned you last time we chatted with me. He also mentioned you.
That Zhong Xue is a rare talent. He is born to be an actor. Now you have become famous. Now that you have entered the entertainment industry, your appeal is unmatched. I am looking forward to it. If there is anything in the future
If you need my help, I will never refuse."
Tang Xiaobao's heart moved and he said: "Okay, I have remembered this sentence. When the time comes, I can't be a slut."
Fang Cheng said sincerely: "To others, I may tell lies, but to Mr. Tang, I definitely speak from the bottom of my heart. Don't worry."
After laughing, Tang Xiaobao changed the topic: "By the way, let's talk about tomorrow night's game. I have no idea about this at all. I don't even know the rules. We need to communicate well."
Some things have to be done, and if you talk about them too much, they will be meaningless.
