The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 288 You have changed the ecology of the Chinese entertainment industry (4K)

"Why do I feel like I was deceived by you?"

It was already early in the morning, and Shen Zhenyi lay on Wang Wei's chest, poking the man's chest with her fingers like a cat.

She came here specially to visit the class.

As soon as they met, she sensed Wang Wei's uneasy mood - this little girl has such a keen sense of touch that she can even sense the hidden emotions of ordinary people, let alone a close couple.

Wang Wei didn't hide anything, he expressed his worry about not being as good as others in terms of "skills" in front of her.

Shen Zhenyi's heart softened when she saw her boyfriend, who had always been a bitch, showing a rare lack of confidence and even a pitiful expression.

Then...I don't know why, but I was comforted on the bed.

Now, seeing the satisfied Wang Wei, Shen Zhenyi came back to her senses and realized that things were not simple——

"Is this your true goal? You can win the Best Actor Award for your acting skills!"

"No, I didn't mean that."

At this point in the screening of "Fury Road", the box office harvesting ability is already very limited, but it still has not been released;

"Do you need to be so... anxious?"

Nowadays, Dunhuang has proven with real results that as long as they are given the opportunity, female directors can control larger, more fields, and more commercial projects!

"I feel ashamed to say it. At first I criticized Wang Wei for only giving opportunities to female directors who can make commercial films."

"Yes, her ideas are very 'wild', and I like to work with directors who have 'wild' ideas. The films they make are very dynamic. If possible, I really want to work with Director Lu again."

It's just that the dramas she plays are top-notch, and even her guest appearances can be the hottest hits of the year, so she doesn't make the audience feel numb to her, but she also earns a strong sense of presence.

The agent gave a hint of sneer.

"By the way, are you going to shoot your "Dragon Inn" script yourself or give it to another director?"

But female directors can get more opportunities, which to a large extent has broken the "glass ceiling" for female practitioners in the industry.

"No, I'm not acting. I'm really worried. But with you by my side, I feel like I'm not afraid of any difficulties anymore!"

…

But Wang Wei thought about it and soon understood.

——Who can be like Dunhuang, where the law that only 10% of films can achieve box office profits does not exist at all, and the films they produce never lose money, and it only took six films to squeeze into the top three in market share?!

Not all directors are like Wang Wei, or like the Dunhuang directors who were deeply influenced by Wang Wei. They seem to be in a hurry to be reincarnated, starting to prepare for the next movie as soon as one movie is released.

"Oh, do you have the ability to prove it again?"

Moreover, although Wang Wei is extremely busy, Shen Zhenyi is not idle either - in addition to continuing to take business classes and busy with daily life at Dawn Pictures, she also has to participate in the script creation of "Your Name"... Now there are more Wrote a movie "Dragon Gate Inn"!

How did this little girl become so "hard-working"?

"Wait a minute, I heard that men talk about other women in bed and fantasize about some kind of multi-person sports... Are you sure you want to talk to me about this?"

Otherwise, in their perception, the themes of female directors' works are limited to traditional emotional fields such as love and family... Maybe they can get nominated, but making big money? Impossible.

First of all, last year’s domestic film annual box office continued to rise steadily, exceeding 26 billion yuan in one fell swoop;

In the past year, Tang Yu Media, one of the five major media companies, has ranked first in box office share for the fifth consecutive year, capturing nearly 20% of the domestic box office share;

And what about Dunhuang?

"If you ask that, you must have someone you like?"

Shen Zhenyi was surprised.

The agent then said, "Don't you look at how big a wave you have created in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

Think about it again, the two roles she plans to play, one is a pure and lovely girl, the other is a wild and dangerous boss lady... Regardless of whether she wins an award or not, these two completely different images are enough to impress this year's audience. She left a mark on my mind!

Wang Wei swallowed his saliva and answered with certainty.

As soon as 1993 passed, it was the stock-taking season that the media loved to see.

If it had been before, this little girl would have been "whipped" for being so provocative;

But now, Wang Wei thinks it's better to change the subject.

"I saw you and Miss Guo having a lively chat before. What were you talking about?"

"What?"

Wang Wei muttered,

"However, it is indeed appropriate to hand over "Longmen Inn" to Director Lu..."

Probably, all men who enter the time of sages have a sweet mouth.

——No, girl, do you really want to admire another woman in bed?

Wang Wei complained endlessly in his heart.

She knows how tight this guy's work schedule is lately.

"Yes, I think director Lu Le is very suitable." Shen Zhenyi answered simply.

Shen Zhenyi didn't say whether she believed it or not, and poked Wang Wei's chest again.

"You bastard, are you really not afraid of draining yourself dry!?"

"The point is, after the media took stock, they discovered that women hold up half of the sky in Dunhuang!"

Director Wang raised his eyebrows proudly, "Have I been squeezed dry? Didn't I just prove it?"

Based on feedback from major forecasting agencies and public relations, the agent predicts that "Fury Road" has a high probability of winning multiple technical awards.

——When Wang Wei had free time before, he would write down some memorable scripts from his previous life. Some of them were completed in front of Shen Zhenyi. "Dragon Gate Inn" is one of them.

I feel so exhausted after filming every day. I don’t even get enough sleep, so what else can I do!?

Among other things, the shooting schedule of "Jurassic Park" is also very tight. For this reason, the nightlife of the cast and crew is relatively simple.

——You can also do some strenuous exercise!

Of the six films released in Dunhuang last year, half were produced by female directors——

After all, "Fury Road" has seven nominations, and even if only half of them win, it will be a great help for later revenue.

Shen Zhenyi couldn't help showing an expression of appreciation.

Of course, there is no doubt that the industrial system of the Chinese entertainment industry is dominated by men, and this will not change for a long time.

The agent said in a half-joking tone,

This is naturally to stay in the theater for a while longer, so that the judges of the Tianma Awards can watch it at any time, which is beneficial to the competition for awards.

But it was Shen Zhenyi who confirmed her strength.

Shen Zhenyi explained with a smile, and at the same time, she remembered what her agent said to her - "You may not fully realize how big a wave you have set off in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

The agent's words changed,

Shen Zhenyi understood immediately upon hearing this, and a smile couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

"I want to sign more female directors. To use a vulgar saying, this is the best of times!"

——Although the girl didn’t say anything, in the special years of 94 and 95, she also wanted to leave her own mark.

Finally, agent Yu Li sighed.

"I have to say that Director Lu is truly a lucky man."

Wang Wei jumped out of the sage time and asked keenly.

Whether you can make money or not is very important.

"Yes, after seeing that female directors hold up half the sky of Dunhuang, the industry's emphasis on female directors has obviously increased. Especially female directors who have proven themselves are highly sought after. Now you can imagine that Director Lu has

How popular is it?"

It's not that I'm surprised that she fell in love with the role of Jin Xiangyu, but... In this way, she will star in two dramas this year.

This little girl's sudden change of topic caught Wang Wei by surprise.

Like "Fury Road", both are stories that take place in the yellow sand of the desert. They both require the pictures to be shot to be majestic and majestic yet delicate and soft. They also require extremely sophisticated shooting of light and shadow, light and shade, and characters... These are all

This is director Lu Le's specialty.

You know, how many literary and art film directors have made countless films but failed to get a nomination; as soon as Director Lu entered the Chinese entertainment industry, he was able to win the favor of actresses like Shen Zhenyi and play the leading role; at the same time, he also got Wang Wei

This kind of talented screenwriter helped revise the idea; in the end, it turned out to be a non-mainstream commercial film that has great hope of winning awards...

"Oh!" Wang Wei glanced at the girl in surprise.

——What makes the five majors even more nervous is that this is the result of their unanimous suppression.

Once upon a time, most people in the industry ridiculed Dunhuang’s support program for female directors and said it was just for show——

"..."

If there had been no suppression, could Dunhuang have competed with Tang Yu Media for the top spot in annual box office share?

"Of course, that's not the point."

However, he quickly reacted,

Although none of Dunhuang's films has exceeded the 1 billion domestic box office mark, relying on its high average, Dunhuang has won a total domestic box office of just over 3.8 billion, accounting for 14% of the market share, ranking third...

The agent shook his head and said,

"Now it seems that I didn't look far enough."

That was a topic that came up when her agent and her discussed the winning strategy for "Fury Road" not long ago -

Seeing Shen Zhenyi who was a little curious, the agent simply said:

Although there are some lucky people in the industry every year who happen to do the right thing at the right time, Director Lu Le's speed of becoming famous is still eye-catching.

The girl's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

In short, they have all proven themselves with different styles of works and received praise. The most important thing is that the lowest domestic box office among them is more than 500 million.

Director Liang Guanyi relied on his delicate grasp of the emotions between men and women to ensure the ending of the Savage series with "Savage Sister";

Director He Wenying pioneered the linkage between movies and games with "Resident Evil", which coexists science fiction and thriller;

Director Lu Le even set a milestone for "wasteland movies" with "Fury Road", which is more explosive than 90% of action movies;

——Although "Fury Road" was released on New Year's Eve, according to convention, it is still considered a movie from last year.

"No wonder you and Guo Zhaobing get along so well. Aren't you ambitious too?"

"That's right! If it's not really suitable, I'm afraid Director Lu won't be tempted?" Shen Zhenyi wrinkled her nose lightly and said.

"Adding these achievements together, the achievements and attention of female directors in the Chinese entertainment industry have never been so intense and concentrated as in the past year, so some people now say that 1993 is the year of the rise of female directors in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

Shen Zhenyi rolled her eyes at him and finally skipped this prickly topic.

Well, probably all the men who entered the time of the sages were not very...brainy?

Shen Zhenyi still didn't say whether she believed it or not, but continued the topic herself,

"We talked about some investment experiences, and I have to say that Miss Guo is not like the rumors. She is really calm, ambitious, and has strong self-control. It is difficult for people to believe that she is a person who is crazy about love... "

"You're not just asking for her, right?"

The corners of Shen Zhenyi's mouth raised slightly, "You mean-"

Yes!

Although it is difficult for her to win the Tianma Award again in the short term, even if she is nominated again, it will be a gain.

Shen Zhenyi's conclusion is very different.

"Huh?" Wang Wei didn't know why.

"It cannot be said that Director Lu Le is still very capable. He can tell the story smoothly, but always ensures that it does not become cliché, and he can also show the artistic director's grasp of the lens language and that kind of beauty... Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, such directors are rare."

"Hey, are the five major forces so weak?"

The agent rubbed his eyebrows and looked at her angrily,

"Isn't it that your grades are too weird?!"

"Director Lu is not a director with a long-term contract with Dunhuang. If you don't act immediately, it will be too late." The manager immediately reminded him.

For most directors, there is no way they can prepare for a new film without taking a year and a half off after making a movie.

However, he wisely did not pursue the subject further.

Frankly speaking, this little girl has never been a prolific actress. She never accepts roles like other actors who go crazy as soon as they become famous. She seems to be afraid that she will lose her value tomorrow after passing this village.

The media took a closer look and found that six movies were released in Dunhuang in the past year. The highest box office was "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" with 920 million, and the lowest was "The Man on the Road" with 440 million. Of course, everything mentioned here It's the domestic box office.

"Okay, I'm also interested in the gold-encrusted jade part!"

"You probably haven't realized how popular Director Lu is right now!"

"Are you so optimistic about Director Lu?"

For the entertainment media, the war between the Big Five and Dunhuang in the past year is definitely a topic that cannot be ignored.

No, there are still many people in the industry who are biased against female practitioners, but they will never struggle with money.

What's more, the Tianma Award is not the only international film award that can be applied for.

After all, money is always the first driving force for the development of the film industry.

Shen Zhenyi raised her head, with a hint of coquettishness and satisfaction in her eyes, but her mouth was unyielding.

Because the practice in Dunhuang has proved that when the director is a woman, the proportion of women involved in screenwriting, editing, photography, lighting, and makeup behind the scenes will be higher - this will produce a "female power" chain reaction.

Compared with "Your Name", which is a "dog food", "Dragon Inn" is a drama that can give actors more room to perform, especially the role of the charming landlady Jin Xiangyu.

As a female practitioner in the industry, agent Yu Li feels honored to have a client like Shen Zhenyi at this moment.

Yes, it's an honor!

"You have changed the ecology of the Chinese entertainment industry!"

"This day came much earlier than I imagined!"

…

Phew~~~
