The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 87 Extremely Arrogant

"Are you talking too loudly?"

Dongfang Pictures, general manager Houmai looked at the company's most valued young director and said with a headache.

At this moment, Song Zhicheng was crossing his legs beautifully, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, and was reading the new script in his hand.

When he heard this, he raised his head, slowly took away the cigarette, and said, "Don't you know what I am capable of?"

Houmai was speechless.

Well, according to his understanding of Song Zhicheng, he really thought so from the bottom of his heart, rather than trying to prevaricate someone else's words.

As a leader among the new generation of directors who has won more than one international award, Song Zhicheng seems to be qualified to speak louder.

In the past few years, as the film and television market has become increasingly prosperous, there has been an explosion of talent.

Needless to say, in terms of actors, talented newcomers emerge one after another, and one by one they become popular and become famous.

In terms of directors, many leading figures of the new generation have also emerged.

Song Zhicheng said with a half-smile, "Many people would probably say that it was he who made Shen Zhenyi famous. Even though I am so sour, I am not afraid of being laughed to death."

"If in the entertainment industry, actors with acting skills and good looks are rare animals, then I have to say that she has a rare talent that can push her to the top."

For Roumai, poaching Shen Zhenyi, like competing for a seat on the classification committee, is one aspect of the secret war between Eastern Pictures and Dunhuang.

He thought about it and smiled, "It makes sense. I dare not say that Wang Wei will not make progress in the future."

Among the new generation of directors, there are only three, Luo Jianzhou, Wang Wei and Song Zhicheng.

In Song Zhicheng's eyes, most commercial films are a bunch of visual and sound garbage;

In Song Zhicheng's eyes, most art films are also arty garbage;

Song Zhicheng looked like an old god was here and said: "Okay, Lao Hou, please stop pretending. Isn't it your long-planned plan to recruit Shen Zhenyi?"

Houmai nodded at him even more helplessly, "You, you, I didn't ask you to assume such a high posture."

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, his words were indeed too arrogant.

As expected, Song Zhicheng continued his venomous remarks: "Film judges all over the world are like birds of a feather. They say they insist on using art as the criterion for judging. In fact, they are either nonsense about claiming to have elegant taste, or they are making money crazily in the name of art."

What's interesting is that the new generation of actresses that these three conceited people favor most are actually the same person.

Of course, even the current top art masters do not dare to regard the Tianma Award and the awards from the three major international film festivals as their own.

But Houmai was not moved at all. It was obviously not the first time he heard this.

"Haha... let's put it this way, Shen Zhenyi has excellent appearance and excellent acting skills, which are all secondary. The most important thing is that she has a kind of magic power that can bring the audience into the play and firmly attract their attention. On her."

However, Song Zhicheng has his own reasons for daring to be so arrogant.

"I can boldly say that with a qualified director, Shen Zhenyi would still be a hit. Wang Wei is lucky enough to have met a talented actor that any director would like to develop..."

——As long as it is Song Zhicheng’s work, the final editing company will not interfere!

Needless to say, Wang Wei, the relationship between childhood sweethearts cannot be overestimated;

Needless to say, Luo Jianzhou, it is said that the first candidate for the heroine of the new film is always Shen Zhenyi, which is outrageous;

Now Song Zhicheng has also joined in to "rob people", this is ridiculous...

It's hard to say whether the "Three Heroes" are the "Chosen Sons", but in Houmai's heart, Shen Zhenyi must be the "Chosen Daughter"!

What can he do? Of course he will support Song Zhicheng as always!

Song Zhicheng, who is still less than 30 years old and focuses on literary films, is naturally one of them.

"They are just a group of old men who claim to be extraordinary. They deliberately let young beauties pretend to be old, ugly and insane, so as to highlight that their appreciation level is not as vulgar as the general public... in fact, they are extremely vulgar!"

Houmai chuckled with a good temper and said: "Well, I don't understand the world of genius. However, good acting skills may not win the favor of the film award judges. After all, beauty is a negative factor for winning awards!"

After hearing this, the expression on Song Zhicheng's face finally became a little more serious.

This seems to be a negative quality that every successful person possesses.

Houmai thought of Wang Wei, who also liked to exaggerate. If we really wanted to take a closer look, why was he not like this?

It's all continued success, continued high reputation and good results that cover up all of this.

Roumai nodded: "If you have both awards and box office, and you have secured both, then you will be recognized as the top among film directors! I'm not afraid to tell you, I have always felt that if they don't break up this combination, Wang Wei has the greatest possibility of becoming the first director of the new generation."

He has made three films, which have entered the three major international film festivals in Europe. He has made two appearances at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, which can be regarded as a miracle.

Anyway, to put it all together, Song Zhicheng’s map cannon is extremely confident, extremely conceited, and extremely arrogant!

"You think I was joking when I said that Shen Zhenyi's talent and talent were wasted by Wang Wei!"

"So, I'm not talking nonsense. As long as Shen Zhenyi is willing to listen to my guidance, use one or two movies to improve her skills, and conquer those old men, it will be easy..."

And as long as success continues, this kind of arrogance and arrogance will continue to be covered up. Instead of becoming a shortcoming, it will become a celebrity anecdote that makes people talk about it and marvel at it!

In the end, it tasted a bit sour after all.

He even gave up the final editing rights in order to bind this emerging director with unlimited potential.

You know, in the huge Chinese entertainment industry, there are more than a dozen directors who have final editing rights.

"Judges, what a fart!" Song Zhicheng said in shock.

What’s even more amazing is that although he doesn’t make much money when making his literary films, he never loses money!

Among the new generation of directors, he is recognized as the top artist; and given his age, perhaps ten or twenty years later, he will become the well-deserved first art master in China.

Song Zhicheng was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, but still said calmly and calmly: "The foundation of my reputation has been solidified. In the next step, I will consider more about the direction of business. Even if they come together, I will not be afraid."

"If you understand their thoughts, if you want to win their favor, it will only take a minute."

"These two need to be topical and popular, and they need box office appeal and box office appeal. They can create the momentum of a big production with a small budget. Who wouldn't be greedy?"

It is hard to believe that an artistic director who is famous for winning consecutive awards would be so dismissive of the judges who voted for him.

"I know you look down on Wang Wei's emphasis on business over art, but you can't deny that the existence of Shen Zhenyi has greatly improved the artistry of Wang Wei's films. The Tianma Award nomination for his last film is the best proof. .”

After a pause, he said with some envy on his face: "I can't help it, the combination of Wang Wei + Shen Zhenyi is really a bit scary."

Houmai said something fair: "The industry still recognizes Wang Wei's ability to train actors."

Luo Jianzhou, who focuses on large-scale commercial production, counts as one, and rising star Wang Wei counts as another.

Houmai continued to be speechless and helpless.

Houmai sighed, nodded, and said: "Then find a way to bring her over and make a perfect match with our Director Song!"

If you are not very profitable and make money all the time without losing money; or you are particularly good at art, and even become famous internationally, and people have to regard you as a master figure; how can the producer possibly treat him as a master? Giving up editing rights?

Houmai smiled and thought, "You are so proud that you are proud of yourself. Of course you are not afraid. I am the one who has the headache."

It's no wonder that some voices in the industry call these three "the three outstanding directors of the new generation".

Therefore, Houmai always knew what kind of character Song Zhicheng was, but he still would never let him go.

"You don't understand!" Song Zhicheng said with an inexplicable contempt on his lips: "For ordinary actors, Wang Wei's training ability is enough; but for actors with outstanding talents, they need more than ordinary training. It’s about tapping into its maximum potential.”

The market share of the top five companies is basically fixed. If someone takes one more bite of the remaining cake, someone will take one less bite.

It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest threat to the rise of Dunhuang is Dongfang Pictures, which is also a second-tier leader and has a similar position.

He originally wanted to take advantage of it slowly, but Song Zhicheng's arrogance made it obvious that he was poaching Shen Zhenyi.

Now the question arises, is Wang Wei a good person?

…
