The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 1 When the movie is reflected in reality, it is really miserable

In the office of Dunhuang Pictures, Wang Wei was expressionless.

He is so difficult!

As a time traveler, he felt like he couldn't bring himself to lead the bunch of scammers in front of him.

——The artistic director Zhou Lin shook his head while holding Wang Wei's new script and commented: "The plot is too simple, and there are no big production scenes. The only thing worth mentioning may be the light comedy style, but there is not much new idea.

"

——The production manager Xu Daoxing continued: "Moreover, the popular love themes nowadays, regardless of unrequited love, first love, hot love, and broken love, are all about crying. In this script, abortion, tearing up, life and death, inseparable,

There’s no such thing as an oath of love, it’s too plain.”

——In the end, General Manager Wang Chuanqi slapped his thigh and said: "That's right. I have said these things before. It turns out that heroes think alike."

Unexpectedly, the other two "heroes" were shocked when they heard this.

Zhou Lin: "You don't like it either?" Tenor No. 1.

Xu Daoxing: "You think the same way??" Tenor No. 2.

Wang Chuanqi narrowed his eyes: "What, is there a problem?"

"Lao Zhou and I picked a gangster movie that was very popular in the market. The script was reliable, the director was reliable, and the actors were reliable... and in the end it was completed smoothly."

So Zhou Lin nodded heavily: "I think the script of Little Boss can be filmed."

In his previous life, he almost sold himself to become a director, but he still had no help; in this life, he is not too keen on being a director, but has an extra system...

Hearing this, Wang Wei just wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: Of these three, no one is reliable, it’s too difficult!

On the table, the script they were discussing had "Peking Holiday" written clearly on the cover.

"New director." He pointed at himself.

Fate, sometimes you really have to be in awe of it.

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing couldn't help laughing.

After a wave of anger, Wang Wei showed a kind smile: "That's right. Although I appreciate your talents, I will never listen to you beeping again this time."

Right.

However, the trio of scammers headed by Lao Wang have stacks of unlucky debuffs. According to the rules of the past three years, the bigger the blockbuster, the more enchanting the unlucky posture.

"I'm just a humble rookie. I'll be lucky if my debut film can be released smoothly and break the curse of Dunhuang."

"The original team that fell into the trap three times in a row." He clicked on the trio of scammers one by one.

This time it was Wang Wei's turn to slap the table: "A film studio has not released its own films for three consecutive years. What could be more unlucky? If grandpa has a spirit underground, he will definitely come up and chat with you."

"

This happiness has lasted for twenty years, until now I can no longer live with it.

Romance movies, even if they are reflected in reality, they will only "result in human lives".

Don't be too strict. In this plane, when time and space progressed to the end of the 19th century, a branch line appeared - a certain eastern power rose in advance.

Xu Daoxing coughed: "What about two years ago?"

——The founder of Dunhuang, director Wang Tingdong, left a large share of the shares to his grandson before his death, so forget it; but the old man firmly believed that the key to Dunhuang's advancement lay in Wang Wei, and Wang was not convinced.

If he continues to persist, the Dunhuang Pictures that his grandfather left him to inherit will really be screwed up by the three scammers in front of him!

As the saying goes, the company belongs to the company and the individual belongs to the individual. As the director and first producer, Wang Wei holds great power and has absolutely every reason to strive for a generous basic remuneration for himself.

But can Wang Chuanqi recognize it?

That must not be the case.

Wang Wei turned around and continued talking about the arrangement: "I will be the director and first producer, Lao Zhou, you will be the main photographer; Lao Xu, you will return to your old job and serve as the first assistant director of the crew; as for Lao Wang

classmate……"

Emma, ​​this is comparable to the thickness of bricks... This guy really thought carefully and came prepared.

Lao Wang's face turned red and he banged the table: "Can you resist killing someone who is being taken advantage of like that? When I brought in such a generous investment, you were so happy that you even waggled your tails!

"

Wang Wei couldn't understand how he had deceived so many people, but he was shocked.

Lao Wang banged the table until it was shaking, and shouted in a bad tone: "What can be done about natural disasters and man-made disasters? And I remember that you said you had doubts, didn't you object in the end?"

"Haha." Wang Wei was stunned.

And where did his own money go? Wang Wei has read the company's financial reports for the past three years. In addition to maintaining the issuance business, he also purchased financial products... The result is that Dunhuang, which is expected to be bankrupt in the eyes of outsiders, has seen its capital reserves rise instead of falling.

.

Zhou Lin then added: "The quality of the finished film is pretty good. After the filming was completed, we, the main creators, had a drink together. Everyone patted their chests and said that the company was probably going to make a fortune this time!"

However, despite this, he still tried to struggle: "At least, you have to have a complete plan for me to evaluate..."

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing remained silent.

——Well, if this were not the case, Dunhuang would not have been cheated the next year. It can only be said that there is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is not good.

Lao Wang banged the table and shouted: "The hottest theme on the market at that time was crime movies, and the script was innovative, and the director was also good at making crime movies. The company's evaluation index for it was A-level. I can say that my choice was wrong."

?”

Well, considering their "brilliant record", this is actually a good thing.

In an instant, their thoughts magically synchronized: She deserves a beating, if she didn't have a handsome face, this girl would not be alive today.

Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore unless I find some trouble for you——

…

Zhou Lin turned his head and retorted at the speed of light: "I suddenly felt that this film still has something to offer. The plot and production should be simple. It is suitable for novice directors to practice."

Xu Daoxing also immediately followed up: "I absolutely agree."

This thief is so fucking naive.

Task content: As a director, shoot a feature film and release it.

I was cast in a crime movie, but I ended up committing a crime; I was cast in a gangster movie, but I almost became a gangster; I was cast in a disaster movie, and it turned into a large disaster scene...

He had to be convinced by this point. Lao Wang's luck could not be overstated, but his ability to "cheat money" was truly top-notch.

In the beginning, Wang Wei was still a baby when he was transported to this familiar yet unfamiliar world. What else could he do besides keeping him company?

It's just that, just lingering...it's so comfortable!

In the previous life, I worked overtime so hard that I lost my temper early. In this life, I am just a salty fish, but I have gained unimaginable happiness.

My thoughts returned to reality, hey, why didn't we make any noise?

Then he saw three people focusing on him.

"Then you can really be called an important person in the circle, only Luoluoluo..." Wang Wei gave him a thumbs up.

"TMD, it's okay to hurt each other, but that guy even left a diary, saying he was inspired by the script, and expressed his regret at the same time... Let's just say that someone who writes a diary these days, how can he be a serious person?"

In short, no matter how Lao Wang defends himself, the fact is that the three films he is deeply optimistic about——

"...Can you let go of the table? Doesn't your hand hurt?"

Generally speaking, when someone is willing to exchange a minimum immediate reward for a share, it means that he firmly believes that the movie will have a very large profit margin.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wei responded readily: "I don't mind the basic salary, but I ask for a tiered box office share."

Today, it is already 1990, but the level of social development is comparable to that of 2000, and the information age has begun to leap over the horizon...

The applause continued: "We are all crouching dragons and phoenixes. Fortunately, you crouching dragons and phoenixes helped me create a bright and brilliant situation."

"The main actor is most likely a newcomer..."

But in the mouths of these three scammers, they are almost said to be useless.

So refreshing? Wang Chuanqi couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that you think it has the potential to become a hit?"

Only Wang Chuanqi looked strange.

This is the truth, but this statement also sounds a little familiar.

Zhou Lin muttered: "That crime movie three years ago was the one you decided to vote for first."

"Not a popular subject." He clicked on the script.

Wang Chuanqi's face turned green.

He definitely had reason to suspect that if he didn't accept this novice mission, he would really be able to hang up forever if he broke the system.

Wang Wei frowned: "The company can't afford 8 million?"

"Will you know beforehand that he is such a person? Will Lao Xu know that he is such a person?"

"Of course not, the company is not short of this little money." Lao Wang said very arrogantly. This was probably the first time he dared to speak confidently today.

After coming back to his senses, Wang Weishi applauded: "We didn't start a fight? Friendly, so friendly. You are truly the most friendly team I have ever seen."

Xu Daoxing also added seriously: "It makes sense, and the market trends are all erratic. Even the posters of today's romance movies are crying, and the audience is probably tired of them; this script is not conventional."

The capital evaluation index is A-level, which is considered a very high-quality project for both investors and producers.

"The crew encountered floods when filming in the desert, and all the equipment including the sets were washed away by the floods; misfortune never comes singly, and then the main creators were injured in accidents one after another; while the crew was still trying to maintain their final stubbornness, the director was always in great health.

He had a heart attack and died; the assistant director took over and was hit by a car..."

Okay, let’s first expose this magical reality with too many elements such as love and hate, backstabbing, crime, and suspense.

Everyone in the industry likes to use money from outside investors to make their own movies, and Wang Chuanqi took this point to the fullest - he hardly spent a penny himself, and only after cheating three times in a row did he completely eliminate the enthusiasm of investors to give away their lives.

As soon as my thoughts changed, a few lines of words appeared in my mind:

[Newbie’s mission: directorial debut.

The question is, in addition to this, what buffs are needed to offset the bad luck of this cheating trio?

Wang Wei subconsciously took a look at his broken system——

Zhou Lin sighed: "What about last year? Both Lao Xu and I had doubts about voting for that disaster movie, but it was the boss who insisted on voting for it."

They are part-time workers. When the boss doesn't make a decision, they can still chirp a few words. If they really do, it would be disrespectful to beep any more.

Director, are you really not afraid that this curse on yourself will come true?

Wang Wei believed it.

Last time, this guy told his family that he was just a humble high school student and he was lucky to be admitted to a key university - but it turned out that he only attended high school for one year and got into the top university in the country with high scores.

This should be the only thing Wang Wei is thankful for so far.

Xu Daoxing also sighed heavily and couldn't bear to recall: "The result was a disaster."

This is absolutely humiliating.

This is a humiliation.

After a pause, Wang Wei said decisively: "Just focus on making money. The crew can't tolerate a talent like you!"

Zhou and Xu were stunned, and then said in unison: "Boss, you still have the confidence to talk about materialism?"

He directly asked Wang Chuanqi: "The initial budget of the project is 8 million, can the funds be guaranteed?"

Wang Chuanqi became angry from embarrassment: "What do you two mean? Do you dislike my vision?"

"No, putting aside the profit prospects, why does your simple romance film need a budget of 8 million?" Lao Wang hates people who spend money lavishly.

When a movie is reflected in reality, it will be really miserable if the wrong subject is chosen.

It is hard for outsiders to believe that Dunhuang Pictures, which has been in trouble for three consecutive years, is actually not bad at all.

After all, he had been struggling for twenty years, and the system had also been idle for twenty years.

Mission reward: Scene scheduling halo (beginner level)]

"Still a hit? The death buffs are all stacked up. It's hopeless. Send it to the crematorium and bury the ashes as far away as possible."

——Bow down to the strange man covered with debuffs.jpg.

He forced himself to make amends: "In this circle, who has not experienced ups and downs like this?"

"..."

I have to say that this is also an important reason why Wang Wei chose a movie like "Roman Holiday" for his debut film with a relatively simple plot and relatively simple production.

Although he clearly has good cards, he always memorizes them too much. Wang Chuanqi seems to have this tendency.

The corners of Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing's mouths twitched.

"Take it!"

Wang Chuanqi is also one of the bosses, and he does have opinions.

Why can't his son take Dunhuang to a higher level?

Moreover, there are no golden fingers, legendary "novice gift packs" or anything like that!

Once again he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and sigh: This is another unreliable one!!

A butterfly can incite a hurricane, but how many people and things will be changed if a giant dragon takes flight in advance?

In short, world history has changed, and world film history has also been changed beyond recognition.

Xu Daoxing is as quiet as a chicken.

Compared to countless colleagues who shined brightly as soon as they traveled through time, Wang Wei was so stable and healthy that he never thought that there was someone more stable and healthy than him.

From their mutual diss above, we can see that although these three are unreliable, Lao Wang is especially unreliable.

The other three people:……

Thinking about it this way, if nothing else, Wang Wei's new script has a high safety factor.

"It turns out that the two investors you brought in, boss, were found to have laundered money for two groups of overseas gangs when the film was about to be released, and were directly sentenced. The company was also involved, and the suspicion was finally cleared, but the sample film

As evidence, it has been detained by the prosecutor until now..."

——Thank God, Dunhuang has not yet become a sinkhole that cannot be climbed out!

Lao Wang was so angry that he itched his teeth: "You are purely idealistic. Can we talk about materialism?"

Well, in parallel time and space, it has another classic name - "Roman Holiday".

Of course, you can't be superstitious. But there are always some high-quality unlucky humans who have achieved sustainable unlucky.

Okay, then this tearful tragedy continues to unfold.

After falling into the pit in different postures for three consecutive years, Wang Chuanqi himself was never convinced or even lost his temper.

But Zhou Lin smiled bitterly: "But the producer you chose took the money and ran away after the crew was completed!"

It’s not that I didn’t know, but even Wang Wei himself was shocked.

Wang Chuanqi covered his face, coming, coming, his nephew's strange aura was late but coming.

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Wei took out a thick plan and threw it to him, "This is my preparation plan!"

In addition to hanging up a newbie task, this broken system will enter the idle state. It will not prompt Wang Wei if he doesn't move. It's too fucking salty.

The so-called stepped sharing means that when a certain box office is reached, a share is obtained according to a certain proportion; there is no doubt that the bigger the box office is, the higher the corresponding income will be.

"It is unheard of for such a useless crew to be involved. The insurance company that provided the guarantee collapsed, and they intervened to stop the project before it was defrauded and bankrupt..."

Wang Wei glanced at him sideways: "Because you, Mr. Wang, are definitely a strange man with his own debuffs."

"..." Old Wang's gaze on Wang Wei almost condensed into a forty-meter sword.

Although he is a little unlucky, although he is a little inconsistent with the aura of the entertainment industry, although the world seems to like to target him a little bit...but why should we discriminate against him!

In other words, why should we only discriminate against him?

The other three people were all stunned.

Last time, this guy told the old man that he was just a humble film and television enthusiast, and he was lucky to be able to persist in his love - but it turned out that his grandfather forced Dunhuang Pictures to him.

…

"Then it's settled, the "Beiping Holiday" project is officially launched. Who is in favor and who is against it?" Wang Wei said decisively.

If this is a process of adding buffs, then Wang Wei’s previous directing experience, classic scripts, and the company’s lack of money, etc., are all positive buffs.

Lao Wang hesitated and continued to pound the table: "Can you blame me? That guy has cooperated with Dunhuang more than once. Who would have thought that his wife took away the family property and ran away with Xiao Xianrou, and he took our money and ran away with his little lover

The road is out of the country."

Zhou Lin silently acted as the backdrop.

"Okay, I don't understand fate, but I know how to save money. So, my dear nephew, you are working for yourself. Do you have the nerve to ask for pay? You can work for nothing."

The three of them looked at each other.

What's not to admit? This is exactly his obsession with defeats and defeats.

It's a pity that the old man has a vicious vision.

This time...

An idea popped up out of nowhere: There must be something fishy in this ordinary "Peking Holiday".

But, what’s the strange thing?
