There are associations in all walks of life in the country, such as the Vegetable Association for those who grow vegetables, the Flower Association for those who grow flowers, and the famous Pig Association.
The film and television industry is no exception, with the Directors Guild, Producers Guild, and Television Artists Guild.
There are a group of major Internet studios in Donghua who have joined forces to form a major Internet film association. Today is the day when the association was established, and they sent an invitation to Li Qian.
Although Li Qian is not very interested in this kind of thing, he has stayed at home for the past half month and only went out to walk around and communicate with colleagues.
However, the major online film association they established is much more fictitious. The Directors Association is a semi-official organization that requires government permission and registration to be a formal association.
Only formal associations have copyright and are officially recognized.
Obviously, this major online movie association was started by a group of people themselves.
There were quite a lot of people at the scene, hundreds of major internet studios were here.
Li Qian just came to join in the fun, but as soon as he arrived, he was immediately surrounded by his colleagues.
After all, he is the first director to make a film with a box office of over 10 million, and he is the only one in the entire industry who has made such a film.
"Director Li is indeed young and promising. It is amazing that he can make such an excellent movie as "Sniper Phone Booth" at such a young age!"
"Director Li has helped our Internet industry win glory. Last year, there were only about 20 domestic theater movies with a box office of over 10 million."
"That's right, look at how the film industry still looks down on our Internet University!"
"I don't know when Director Li will shoot his new film. We have to adjust the schedule. Don't release it at the same time as Director Li's new film, otherwise we will become cannon fodder."
Facing the compliments from everyone, Li Qian just smiled.
"You're welcome. We are all seniors in the Internet industry. I have more to ask you for advice."
Not long after he came in, Li Qian regretted coming.
These people don't look like directors at all, each one is more philistine than the last.
It’s no wonder that more than 90% of Internet universities are rubbish. Almost none of these people have seriously studied directing, and even those who have worked as an executive before are pitiful.
I heard that 90% of the websites don’t have storyboards. They just write down a notebook and shoot. I guess some people don’t even read storyboards.
Communicate, what the hell.
But now that I have come, there is nothing I can do.
Xu Tao, the founder of the Online Film Association and the director of the "Taoist Descending the Mountain" series, looked at Li Qian surrounded by people with a gloomy look on his face.
The first part of "The Master Goes Down the Mountain" opened up the market for big online movies and made a box office of 8 million. Just when the second part was making great progress and was about to break through the 10 million mark, he unexpectedly encountered "Sniper Phone Booth".
Originally, "Taoist Descendants 2" also had great hopes of breaking 10 million, but as a result, Galaxy Video spent almost all of its promotional resources on "Sniper Phone Booth". For several days in a row, the best promotion spots on the homepage of the movie category were given to it.
.
As for my own "Taoist Master 2", not to mention the promotion on the homepage, there is not even rolling promotion of movie categories. It has only been online for half a month and has only received 6 million box office.
Xu Tao still remembers that he called Galaxy Video two days ago and wanted the same treatment as "Sniper Phone Booth", but the other party refused immediately and didn't even bother to find an excuse.
Why!
He opened up the big online movie market. Why should he give such high treatment to a movie that only had a box office of several hundred thousand in the initial stage?
Originally, all these achievements should belong to me. As long as I give "Taoist Master 2" the same promotion efforts, coupled with the foundation laid by the first part, it will only be better than the current results of "Sniper Phone Booth"!
I was supposed to be the founder and pioneer of online movies. After making one or two more works, I could even transition to making theater movies and become a real movie director!
but now!
Xu Tao thought bitterly, then smiled on his face and walked towards Li Qian.
"Hello, Director Li, welcome to the founding ceremony of the Internet University Association."
A person next to him immediately introduced, "Director Li, this is the director of the "Taoist Master Descends the Mountain" series, and is also President Xu of our Internet Film Association. Thanks to Chairman Xu's organization of the Internet Association, our colleagues in the Internet industry can
Get together."
Li Qian nodded, "Hello, Director Xu."
A trace of gloom flashed across Xu Tao's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Thank you, Director Li, for the honor. Director Li has given our Internet industry a fighting chance."
After a moment of greetings, everyone sat down at the venue, and the inauguration ceremony was about to begin.
Although this spontaneously established association is not a semi-official association, Li Qian can also see clearly that it is also a bureaucratic style. Chairman Xu has a completely leadership style. Even his speech sounds like the official on TV.
.
There was a lot of chattering, and then we started to choose the president and vice-president. Of course, Xu Tao was chosen as the president, and there were several vice-presidents.
"After the election of the preparatory committee, director Li Qian was appointed as the vice president of the Internet Movie Association!"
Li Qian was stunned, why was he still there?
He only said that he was invited to participate in the preparatory ceremony, and he didn't even join the association, so he elected himself as the vice president?
However, Li Qian immediately understood that any industry association needs several representatives, and of course, major online movies cannot avoid being the only director with a box office of over 10 million.
If he had discussed it with himself in advance, Li Qian might have been able to take the name of vice president, but now he didn't even say anything about it, and he didn't even know about the establishment of this association, so he just wanted to tie himself to the association.
Make this unofficial association look more official.
If someone comes to you for marriage when she is three months pregnant, can you agree?
"Wait a moment!"
Li Qian stood up without hesitation and interrupted Xu Tao's speech. Since they were trying to kidnap them morally, Li Qian didn't have to save face for them.
"It seems that I have never joined the association, let alone ran for election as vice president. You must be mistaken!"
After saying that, Li Qian walked straight out of the venue, leaving the whole hall stunned, and Xu Tao, whose face on the stage was getting more and more ugly, and he was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
For a moment, no one took Li Qian in their mouth. After everyone in the audience understood what was going on, everyone was a little gloating.
After walking out of the hotel, Li Qian didn't think about what would happen at the scene.
As for whether he might offend anyone, he wasn't worried at all.
In this place, Donghua, people living around Hengdian are living in various religions, cheating, stealing, and cheating. No one has ever seen them.
Let alone now, even Li Qian a month ago would not have cared about their group of people.
It just affected my mood a bit. I originally went out for a walk to relax, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this.
Looking around at the hotel entrance, Li Qian was planning to find a place to have a meal.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him next to him.
"Director Li?"
