That’s it! The copper stink attack is effective.
As long as those who make art films have money, they will definitely be very efficient.
Don't look at these people slumped in the sun, with a louse jumping on their belly... they may not even raise their eyes.
But if they really get money, they can save money very quickly.
Because for these people, what they lack is not people.
In this circle, whether it is photographic equipment, studios, venues, or even group performances required for shooting, all you need is a phone call or a friend to help solve the problem.
In addition, what this director wants to shoot is a small-budget art film.
So except for some special requirements for costumes and props, the rest of the cost... is basically negligible compared with those commercial movies.
From the time Mai Fan and Director Cheng signed the investment and starring contract, it only took two days for the funds to be in place, and only seven days for the launch to be launched.
When this movie was launched, no one was able to let the public know, and they couldn't afford to hire a publicity company. Even the entertainment reporters in the industry didn't pay much attention to it.
There was not a single press release, not a single piece of news.
"Spring Day" sets sail in these silent days.
The first day of sailing was a bit deserted.
As a movie that no one is optimistic about, the investment circles of commercial movies and TV series don’t even bother to pay it any attention.
Mai Fan, who was called by the director to attend the opening ceremony and put three sticks of incense on the incense burner, was already prepared. This launch was at most a small gathering to get acquainted with the crew members.
Unexpectedly, just outside the venue where they started the machine, there were densely packed people squatting in a circle.
Mai Fan put the incense into the incense burner and was startled as soon as he followed the director out of the shed.
"Who are these?"
The director said nonchalantly: "They are all my buddies."
Mai Fan understood instantly: "Director? Niche? Art?"
Director Cheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled a little sheepishly: "Hey, it's all up to me."
"Can't my movie be started?"
"I'm a little happy. When I'm happy, I have to find someone to drink and celebrate."
"Then I made a call to a few old buddies and old classmates. I asked them to help find the right person and come to my kennel for dinner."
"After this meal, don't they know that there is such an unjust person... an excellent person who devotes himself to art... and a promising young man?"
"They all feel that juniors like you are so promising. Before you become popular, they must come over and get to know you."
This reason is quite strong.
Mai Fan held the three dotted lines and looked at Director Cheng who was looking up at him for a few seconds. Then he smiled brightly: "Director, aren't all your friends directors?"
"I just said that Director Cheng thinks highly of me the most. Not only did he let me be your leading actor, he also recommended so many directors to me."
"I have to thank you for giving me so many connections in the industry."
Behold, the art of language.
Director Cheng's few feelings of guilt were instantly washed away.
The embarrassment disappeared in his heart, and his favorability increased exponentially. Looking at that boy's charming and cool face, he was pleased with him no matter how he looked at it.
Director Cheng Feng patted Mai Fan on the shoulder and said, "Yes! That's it!"
"Let's go! I'll take you over there and get to know the directors!"
Just know each other!
Mai Fan followed the director with a shy smile and met the people squatting outside the venue.
He didn't have the airs of an investor, so he followed the director and squatted in a circle with this group of people.
"Is this the young man you mentioned?"
"Come to film your movie "Spring Day"? Let me tell you, Lao Cheng, you really can't wait, right?"
As a director, he always speaks more straightforwardly than others.
Director Cheng didn't care. He grabbed a cigarette from the other party's hand and lit it crumpledly: "These days, we have the opportunity to realize our ideals. If you don't hold on to it desperately, you are mentally ill."
"When you look at people, you can't stop looking at their faces."
"You have to look here!" Director Cheng poked his heart: "Look here to see if there is a passionate heart, see if he has the same dream as mine, look here, can he highly identify with something like
A group of people like us.”
"If nothing else, this kid, here, is red. He has everything."
"He respects my independent creative rights, appreciates the script that I would throw in the trash, and is willing to spend a large amount of money to fight for this dream of this movie, even if the ending is likely to be a failure.
drift."
"But he is willing!"
"So, why can't I take him?"
"If a person's acting skills are not good, they can be taught! If his image is not appropriate, he can be transformed!"
"My movie was made! Most of the medals belong to Mai Fan!"
"Come on, Mai Fan, look at these people! I'm telling you! They are the same people as me!"
"But they live a more transparent life than I do. Even if they have ideals, they have to eat first."
"After you see this group of people, you don't have to be afraid anymore!"
"Even if my movie goes to my grandma's house, I will beg these people for you and I will make sure you have food to eat."
"Look at these few people. They are assistant directors in the TV series. Those inconsequential small roles in the seventh or eighth series. They can make the final decision themselves."
"There are a few of these who are already able to serve as executive directors in the commercial film industry. It only takes one sentence to ask you to play a supporting role."
"Mai Fan, I gave you this guarantee, and I don't ask for anything else. Just do you know anyone like you... Let them come and take a look, and take a look at the projects in the hands of these old brothers.
."
"Really, everything is very good, but the audience is too small."
After Director Cheng finished speaking, the group of people mentioned raised their heads... and all looked at Mai Fan.
The eyes of each of them were shining, as if a wolf was eyeing meat, a dog was eyeing... something like that.
Mai Fan felt a little weak when he saw them, but he could only hold on and glance at them one by one with his eyes.
When he saw all these people's faces in his mind, Mai Fan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Hold it back, don't show your true colors.
Mai Fan calmed down and spoke to the directors in the most sincere manner: "Fellow directors, compared to you, I am really a newcomer in this circle."
"I don't know anything, and I don't know anything. I just broke into it based on a dream I had when I was a child."
"To be honest, since I invested in this show, I am a businessman."
"As a businessman, there is no one who doesn't want to make money."
"As a businessman, I have great confidence in Director Cheng's work, and I have absolute confidence in my own investment vision."
"I believe that under the leadership of Director Cheng, this film will get the rewards it deserves."
