My Phone Can Swipe Money

743. Ma Meimei’s education class

Chen Wenrui probably never dreamed that the little deer talking and laughing with her in front of her was actually "plotting" against her, and Chen Wenrui herself was stupidly sold and paid for it.

Ma Meili looked at Chen Wenrui who was chatting and laughing with Xiaolu, and said happily in her heart: "Are all the girls in Baodao so intelligent?"

Ma Meiliang has despaired of Chen Wenrui's "intelligence". People like this will probably not survive the second episode of TV shows in mainland China.

"Da Meili, you go back first, Xiaorui and I will go to a SPA together." Xiaolu winked at Da Meili with a hint of meaning. The latter naturally knew that Xiaolu wanted to "find out the details" and nodded.

Seeing Xiaolu taking Chen Wenrui out, Ma Meili shook her head and sighed again: "It's really stupid and pitiful."

Despite this, Jiang Wenwen next to him felt "sad" in his heart when he saw Xiaolu casually giving away his "long-coveted" bag so easily.

Although I really want to take this bag, unfortunately the money in my pocket really doesn't allow it. Just when she was dejected and about to leave, the pretty girl next to her seemed to think she looked familiar, so she stepped forward and asked.

"Hello, are you also an artist?"

Jiang Wenwen was a little flattered by Ma Meili's inquiry and stammered: "Yes, yes, sister Ma, I am Jiang Wenwen. We met once before on the set of Double Dragon."

"Oh, I was just wondering why it looks so familiar. Is it the Double Dragon directed by Dan?" Ma Meili said with a smile. She had auditioned for the second female lead in that movie before, but unfortunately she wasn't chosen.

Jiang Wenwen nodded like a chicken eating rice and replied: "Yes, Sister Ma, I play the daughter of Mrs. Dongying."

"Oh, are you here to attend the award ceremony this time too?" Ma Meiliang asked.

Jiang Wenwen said with some embarrassment: "I, I just followed Director Wang here to see the world."

"Oh, I understand. Are you free? I'm bored alone. Let's go shopping together." Ma Meiliang, as a veteran, naturally knows what Jiang Wenwen means by "seeing the world".

To put it bluntly, she just came here to ride on the red carpet. Before Ma Meiliang met Tang Wen, she rarely did such things, so when she saw Jiang Wenwen, she inevitably felt "sympathetic".

"Okay, okay Sister Ma." Faced with Ma Meili's request, Jiang Wenwen naturally did not dare to refuse. He nodded quickly and stood behind Ma Meili like a follower.

"Oh my god, why are you so far away from me? I won't eat you, let's go shopping together." Ma Meiliang looked at the timid Jiang Wenwen and said dumbfoundingly.

"Oh." Jiang Wenwen quickly stepped forward and stood next to Ma Meiliang.

Ma Meimei didn't say much about this, but instead started a family affair with her.

A closer look shows that Jiang Wenwen looks a bit like a beautiful combination of Jiang Lai and Ma. From the side, it looks very much like Ma Mei, but if you look closely, there are traces of Jiang Lai.

It's a pity that Jiang Wenwen is not famous, otherwise others would say that Jiang Lai and Ma Meimei look like Jiang Wenwen.

During the chat, Ma Meiliang learned that Jiang Wenwen came here to see if he could get some "resources" in Baodao. Ma Meiliang shook his head and advised: "Don't even think about the movies in Baodao. They are all Some art films that didn’t sell well.”

"I know Sister Ma, don't I just want to win an award so that I can get more resources? Don't we female artists all start in the art film industry first and then switch to business?" Jiang Wenwen asked humbly.

Ma Meili shook her head,

He warned earnestly: "What you said is an old routine from a few years ago. Today's investors are not stupid. They either look at your reputation or your appeal, and now even small flowers and grass are being suppressed miserably. , continuing to follow the route of literary films will be a dead end."

"Huh? No way? The recent box office results of the artistic films I've seen are pretty good." Jiang Wenwen said with some disbelief.

Ma Meimei snorted disdainfully: "Not bad? When did you become a veteran? Take Baodao as an example, the highest box office for literary films is tens of millions. What about the investment? After counting the salaries of a group of big names, one The budget of a movie often exceeds 100 million, and the income and expenditure are not proportional. How many investors do you think are panicking because they have too much money?"

After listening to Ma Meili's words, Jiang Wenwen's face turned pale. She always thought that as long as she got out of literary and artistic films, the future would be easy, but she didn't expect that the recent box office was already unstable. Would she continue to make literary films?

Investors are not stupid, and no one will waste "real money" at this time.

Seeing that the other party was a little frightened, Ma Meili continued to educate: "And there are so many artists now, do you think you can get ahead by making literary films? Take Xiaomei, who won the award yesterday, for example. You have seen people making literary films. But what about so many commercial films that he has received before? And what about MVs?"

Jiang Wenwen was not sure how to answer for a while after Ma Meili's words.

"The most important thing is that there are few good books now. Do you think all literary and artistic films can be big hits? Even the top companies in Hollywood are now moving closer to commercial films. You have to understand that movies are always for the public. Award-winning literary and artistic films are good, but your "value" is where they end." Ma Meili feels deeply about this.

In the past, everyone was all about making "artistic films" in order to increase their "fame" abroad. However, as the times progress, the old tricks no longer work.

People nowadays just watch movies to have a good time, making those boring and difficult-to-understand literary films? Are you dissatisfied that you don’t burn enough money?

That’s why in recent years many domestic directors of artistic films have begun to gradually transform. Even the most “hardcore” directors in the past have now begun to add commercial elements to their films.

There is no way, if today's movies do not consider box office, investors are not stupid. Who would invest in this subject knowing that it is not profitable?

Directors without investment still have to make a living, so movies are becoming more and more "commercial" now. Moreover, the subsequent investors who enter the market are all here for money.

This is why many directors who have started filming recently are required to sign an "agreement". Once the box office is not satisfactory, it will not be a small blow to a director.

Just like the "Wu Mu" shot by Lao Chentou before, the investors who jumped on the street wanted to curse when they saw him. That's why Lao Chen's head hasn't come out during this period. It's because no one is willing to continue to pay for him.

That attack cost him hundreds of millions of investment capital. With such "dirty information", it is estimated that not many people would be willing to hire him.
