China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 365 Carp leaps over the dragon gate

Backstage of "The Director".

35 directors were crowded together lively, talking and discussing in small groups. There were two or three directors in the corridor holding trophies in their hands, with smiles on their faces as if they were being interviewed by reporters.

This is the last episode of "Director". It is different from the recording and broadcast of the previous seven episodes. This time it adopts a similar live broadcast format.

The reason why it is similar to a live broadcast is because there is a 2-minute delay. If any problem occurs, the director team has time to handle and edit it in time.

In the final round, three awards of gold, silver and bronze will be selected based on the votes of the judges, the votes of the on-site professional film appraisal group and the audience, and of course the results of online voting.

The awards have also been awarded, and now it is intermission time. Of course, it can also be said to be review time for the winning works and a long commercial time.

But the live broadcast is not over yet, and the finale has yet to take place, which is when Chen Jingxing announces the director of "Black Mirror II".

Therefore, except for the three award-winning directors, everyone else is still a little nervous.

Wen Zhian stood alone in the crowd. He was not the kind of person who was good at socializing. This was the main reason why his parents insisted that he go home and stop being involved in the film and television industry.

A middle-aged man sitting on a stool next to the bed stopped the two people passing by the door with sharp eyes.

The five directors who will direct "Black Mirror II" were decided upon after a long discussion between him and Guo Fan. After all, it was a film and television production related to DreamWorks. He didn't dare to be careless, and the names were all very familiar to him.

DreamWorks has always been the top film company in the country and has an extremely good reputation. With "Gravity" and "The Matrix" sweeping the Oscar nominations, it has been shrouded in a dazzling light.

Yu Chengdui smiled, his expression slightly stiff: "Director Yan, we just finished checking the equipment and are going back to take a shower."

He just clings to the dregs of the handicraft workshop era, neglects the talented young people with academic backgrounds, treats the boys who come to join him after graduating from technical schools from the same town as a treasure, forms gangs, inbreeds, and carries on the inheritance of handicrafts.

Compared with this opportunity, any gold or silver awards are nothing.

There are also newcomers who joined the company with him and are moving up. When Wen Zhian was in school, he was recognized as a genius in the photography department. This was because the teacher was optimistic about him and the relationship between his classmates was relatively simple. He also cast classmates for his graduation film.

Yes, even if the relationship is not that close, this kind of mutual help can still be achieved.

Being selected by Chen Jingxing to direct "Black Mirror II" is a real career leap. Even if I only cooperate with DreamWorks this time, I already have a resume as a film director, and it is a DreamWorks work.

"Zhou Yaolong...Luo Ting...Ji Xuan...Cheng Kelin

...and Wen Zhian!"

However, when I think that I will soon become one of the people in the audience who are eagerly waiting for me, I feel a sense of absurdity in my heart.

Assistant director Yan Chen shook his head, with deep envy and even a little jealousy hidden in his eyes. He said with complicated emotions: "What bullshit gold and silver awards are all fake. The opportunities given by DreamWorks are real. If

It is said that this show is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and the candidate that Director Chen will announce later is the real dragon's gate."

Moreover, several of the actors in Chen Jingxing's first movie were all drama actors with professional backgrounds. They could be hired either for face or money. Outsiders thought that the actors were impressed by Chen Jingxing's talent and script. Only Chen Jingxing himself knew the main reason.

I was moved by money.

Director Yan chuckled and looked at Chen Jingxing who walked onto the stage. Would such a director take the gold, silver and bronze awards seriously? What weight does the audience vote have?

Among the 35 contestants competing on this show, except for a few who have experience in independently directing web dramas, most of them are not real directors.

Every time Chen Jingxing said a name, the noise from the audience became louder, and the expressions of many directors became more surprised.

"It's like an awards ceremony."

"Lao Yu? Xiao Zhang? What are you doing? It's the last round. The final results will be announced soon. Come and see your apprentice quickly!"

Those who don’t know may think that this guy has studied cross talk, but can the film and television industry be the same as the cross talk industry? The company is shouting every day to learn from DreamWorks and engage in industrialization. How can such people achieve industrialization if they don’t clean up?

In a hotel near Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

The prop team leader knew how Yu Cheng suppressed his cheap apprentice, and he had always been a little disdainful of him. His skills were not necessarily very high. He worked hard every day to become an assistant director, but his thinking was still extremely backward.

"So, one of you, the master, and the other, the senior brother, don't care? This can be regarded as the golden phoenix flying out of our company." The leader of the props team also echoed and squeezed the two of them.

Film and television companies and advertising companies have already contacted him. Even his company called him and said that they could offer him the position of assistant director or photographer in the next project.

Looking at the calm expression of Chen Jingxing on the TV screen, the camera then turned to focus on the five lucky ones. Wen Zhi'an's expression of shock and ecstasy also made everyone in front of the TV lose their voices.

It is obvious that the company is not so bold to let him directly become the director of film and television dramas. What these directors shoot in the program are short films, which last ten to twenty minutes. No matter how good the filming is, a normal company would not dare to let him be directly responsible for a movie.

A film and television drama project.

"There are five places in total. Excluding the gold, silver and bronze awards, there are only two left. Can he get them?" Zhang Zhengbao whispered softly.

Because except for the first Zhou Yaolong who was the silver medal winner, the other four directors did not win any awards, and they are not even the most popular directors. This result is definitely beyond most directors and audiences, including the program team.

The staff expected.

Moreover, Wen Zhi'an's short stories are not the most popular in the eyes of the audience, and they have not won any gold, silver or bronze awards.

People like Wen Zhian, who are not very good at doing things, will of course hit a wall once they enter the society. The saying that gold will always shine is not absolute. There are examples in history of talented artists who fell into poverty during their lifetime and were only discovered by the world after their death.

There are too many.

Tian Xinye directed two blockbuster online dramas, and almost became a blockbuster himself. After arriving at DreamWorks, he is now a director of theatrical films. Not only does he have the performance of the hit drama "Signal", but he also has the science fiction movie "Signal" with a box office of 1 billion.

"Mirage", seems to be a rising star among domestic young directors, not giving up to Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan and others.

"When can't I wash it? Does it have to be this moment? The results will be announced soon. Come on, come on, make room for Lao Yu." Yan Chen, the deputy director of the crew, held a cigarette in his mouth and waved his hand for the two of them to sit over.

…

It had only been four years since Chen Jingxing traveled back in time, but now he could change the fate of many people with just one word. He sighed secretly as time flew by without taking out any envelopes or papers.

Just in time, the camera panned over Wen Zhian, who was sitting in the front row of the audience.

The broadcast volume and influence of "Director" are becoming more and more popular with each episode of the program, especially the collision and exchange of opinions among the competition directors, actors, judges and audiences in the program. This is a unique feature of this unique program.

The unique charm of variety shows.

Yu Cheng smiled and said nothing in the face of the crowd from the props team leader Cheng, but his apprentice Zhang Zhengbao couldn't help but said: "Didn't the gold, silver, and bronze awards all be awarded? I just watched it on my phone, and Xiaowen didn't

Winning an award? What else is good to see..."

The door of a spacious guest room was open, and many people crowded into the room, gathered around the TV and watched the variety show "The Birth of a Director" broadcast exclusively on Huanshi.com.

After all, who could have predicted that someone would turn into a dragon when faced with a storm in the future? Relationships between classmates and fellow villagers are very important in the film and television industry. To move forward, people need both their own efforts and the support of others.

But as the saying goes, Wen Zhi'an, who originally only wanted to be selected to participate in the main competition, now has further expectations. Although the hope is slim, it is like a carrot hanging in front of him.

It was difficult for him to live contentedly and contentedly, and the delusion in his heart was like a flame that not only did not extinguish when the gold medal was awarded, but instead burned brighter and brighter.

The two people who were stopped were led by the crew's photographer Yu Cheng, followed by Zhang Zhengbao, one of the crew's two photography assistants and his fellow villager and apprentice.

After graduation, he joined a film and television company and worked as a camera assistant on the set. In fact, he was a handyman on the set and the fact that he still had no improvement after two years had something to do with his personality. It cannot be said that it was entirely due to the suppression and exclusion of his cheap master.

.

It's just that the fire in Wen Zhi'an's heart burned hotter, and he became more aware of the slim hope. After excluding the winners of the three awards of gold, silver and bronze, there were only two places left. Can he get his turn?

"Teachers! It's time to record. Stop doing interviews. There are names on the seats. Teachers, please take your seats according to your names..."

After a while, there were exclamations in the room. I don't know if they were happy, envious or jealous.

It would be even more perfect if after directing "Black Mirror II" he could be appreciated by Chen Jingxing and become a contracted director of DreamWorks.

Chen Jingxing looked at the many eyes in the audience and was not nervous at all. He had been on the stage many times for the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, so these were nothing.

The director came in and interrupted the winner's elation and Wen Zhian's thoughts.

It has solid content, depth, drama and variety, which are unanimous comments from most viewers. Even the official media praised "allowing more talented directors to be seen" and "discovering new forces for the future of China's film and television industry"

", "Variety talent show is a breath of fresh air".

Although Wen Zhian did not win the "Rising Star" of his group, let alone the final award, the exposure and discussion are real, even if it is only one-thirty-fifth of the discussion, it is very important for the director behind the scenes.

It’s also great for this profession.

Not to mention the photography and directing professions, which are professions where people work together. Without money and people, everything is in vain. How many people like Chen Jingxing, who shot his debut film and had eight people chatting in a room to create a science fiction classic?

As the only film and television city in the suburbs of Beijing suitable for filming costume dramas, it has a very high occupancy rate all year round and an endless stream of film crews.

But now, he can feel some self-pity when he looks at the directors who are competing with him, even those who have already achieved great success. This is actually because he has taken a big step forward.

Wen Zhi'an is aware of his own shortcomings, but he also knows that it is difficult to change, and he has been subconsciously avoiding his own reasons, trying to blame the reasons on his master's suppression, his parents did not fully support his dream, and the company's vision

I don’t know how to inlay gold with jade.

You must know that the final award was made by four judges including Chen Jingxing, who voted together with the online audience, and the award ceremony was also extremely grand. Doesn't it have anything to do with being able to direct "Black Mirror II" in the end?

This made many viewers shocked at first, and then a little angry, as if they had been fooled.

The cigarette butt in Director Yan's mouth fell to the ground. Although he was very curious about the candidate who would eventually be qualified to direct "Black Mirror II", the name of Wen Zhian, who had worked as a photography assistant in the company for two years, came out of Chen Jingxing's mouth.

I came out still unprepared.

Of course, it stands to reason that in the end, most people will be happy. After all, it is equivalent to having an extra network of contacts, especially those who have a good relationship with Wen Zhi'an. They feel that there is an extra channel for promotion.

However, Wen Zhi'an's cheap master Yu Cheng was experienced and could still force a smile. The expression on his apprentice Zhang Zhengbao's face was indescribable.

Director Yan shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect to be able to cross the dragon gate. I originally thought that we would need multiple assistant directors, but now it seems that our company's small temple cannot accommodate them."

After all, DreamWorks is not only a factory that creates dreams for audiences, but also a factory that creates dreams for movies.
