World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Director Qin, great directors also have to eat. Many times they have no choice but to do so. Except for you, I don't think any other director in the industry is completely free to make their own decisions."

Wu Tianming was very optimistic about Qin Dong, so he changed his ways to speak to him.

Young people who are promising should not offend too many colleagues easily.

"I understand what Mr. Wu said. It is indeed the case, so I decided to establish the Film Sustainable Development Venture Capital Plan."

Qin Dong is very wise, and it's very satisfying to criticize others, but he offended him, so he can just play by himself from now on.

Smiling, he echoed Wu Tianming, looked at Hong Dapao below and said:

"I heard that Director Hong wanted to shoot [The Great Earthquake] [1942] a long time ago, but he couldn't help but have to shoot a comedy. It seems that every great director also has difficulties that are unknown to everyone."

Hong Dapao's expression was incomprehensible, and he extended his thumb to Qin Dong:

"I didn't expect that the person who understands me, Lao Hong, is actually Director Qin."

Qin Dong nodded and accepted the other party's kindness:

"My venture capital plan is to hope that in the future, our mainland directors can let a hundred flowers bloom and produce various types of films..."

"Horror films, comedy films, kung fu films, urban films, romance films, drama films, science fiction films, zombie films, including costume films, martial arts films, etc. that we are better at. I hope to see all types of films appear every year

."

"Such a market environment can cultivate our own soil instead of allowing foreign films to take over."

"I also hope that all directors can use their talents. Of course, there are some things I have to say upfront."

"I don't know if it's a personal habit or a bad industry custom, but many directors work part-time as screenwriters."

"If you really have the talent to create a script yourself, then everything will be fine."

"It would be boring if you don't have enough talent and still dominate. The so-called three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."

"I hope that the industry will flourish, not just in the genre of movies, but in all related positions across the industry."

"Pah...pah...pah..."

Wu Tianming was the first to applaud, and the others followed suit.

"Xiao Qin is right. Xiao Zhang, you should find more professional screenwriters for your future movies. You have been criticized a lot, especially for your recent movies."

"That's what Mr. Wu said."

Master Zhang, who was called out by Wu Tianming again, smiled helplessly.

This old man did it on purpose today. He always used him as an example. He was bullying an acquaintance too much.

"Xiao Zhang, don't blame me for talking too much. Your movie has been criticized many times for its weak plot. Since the audience says this every time, it must be flawed. You must pay attention to it, otherwise your reputation will be difficult to remember again.

Here..."

Wu Tianming didn't just make fun of acquaintances casually, so he added something serious at this time.

"...I understand, Mr. Wu, thank you, I will make a note of it."

Master Zhang heard what Mr. Wu was thinking, and his expression became solemn as he thanked him.

These people of the older generation do not care about his fame and status, they just want to support the younger generation.

"Director Qin, could you please tell me more specifically about the requirements of your venture capital plan? Apart from the script, what are the other requirements?"

Hong Dapao asked eagerly.

Take a look at the conditions of Qin Dong’s Film Venture Capital and Brothers and Friendship Company, who is better?

Over the years, Hong Dapao has made money for each other for the sake of the big and small kings, and he has also been subject to restrictions. Naturally, he wanted to see if there was a better way out.

Water flows to lower places, and people go to higher places. This is human nature.

"To be specific, loose is also loose."

Qin Dong made this decision just now. He hadn't thought about it yet. He paused after hearing this and his brain started to spin rapidly:

"As long as the director is a director and the script meets the requirements, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the director is an individual or signed by a company."

"Strictly speaking, apart from the script, if there is a director from the company."

"If your company wants to intervene, you should do it yourself, and then directly state your company's requirements in writing."

"If the other company's lion opens its mouth, I won't accept it. My temper is not very good."

It is Qin Dong's habit to make ugly remarks first.

As far as Qin Dong knows, most of the directors here have signed contracts with the company.

Qin Dong didn't want to poach people, but he also didn't want to be constrained by others. It was impossible to do good things by himself and be constrained by other companies. That's not what good people do.

"Director Qin's request is just and reasonable. You can't be asked to pay or do other unreasonable things."

Hong Dapao actively showed the characteristics of a dog-legger. His attitude changed from wanting to quarrel with others and being eccentric at the beginning, to now echoing Qin Dong, perfectly showing how a person's way of speaking can change 360 ​​degrees.

"Xiao Qin, I don't know what requirements your limelight project has for literary and artistic films?"

Wu Tianming also spoke up and asked about things he cared about.

He has been involved in literary films all his life. At this age, he has no energy to think about other types of films. That is the business of other young people.

"Mr. Wu, I heard that you have been working on a new script recently. I wonder what the situation is like?"

When Qin Dong heard this, he did not speak directly, but asked with a smile.

"Good boy, very well-informed."

Wu Tianming was surprised that Qin Dong knew about him. After all, the two of them had never dealt with each other before, and the age gap was several generations. There was no intersection between an artistic film director and a commercial film director. He rubbed his head.

:

"The fact that I am planning a new script is not just recently, but I had the idea a long time ago."

"As our economy gets better and better, many of our traditional crafts are actually being lost because there is no place for them to be used."

Wu Tianming first told about the inspiration for the script and his regrets:

"So my new movie hopes to arouse the attention of the Chinese people. At the very least, these traditional crafts must be preserved. Even if they are regarded as cultural relics in an exhibition hall, it is better than being lost."

"And film can be preserved for many, many years."

"My new film is based on the traditional folk craft suona."

"Pah...pah...pah..."

Qin Dong took the lead in applauding.

The character of some people is truly admirable.

There are very few modern people with this kind of mentality, but the older generation has it more.

As the economy develops, it may bring about the loss of some aspects of humanity, which sometimes feels like a fucked-up reality.

"Mr. Wu's character makes me, a junior, admire him."

"I wonder how Mr. Wu's script is being prepared? Has the main storyline been released? Can you tell me if it's convenient?"

The old man in front of me passed away two years later. By that time, he had completed the post-production of the last movie in his career.

Qin Dong asked this question at this moment, guessing that the script, not to mention the screenwriter, was ready, at least the main plot was OK, and he wanted to intervene to make the other party's last movie without regrets.

As for birth, old age, illness and death, Qin Dong had no choice, because the old man with valuable character in front of him was really old, already over seventy years old.

Seventy years old is rare. It is normal for people to grow old, sick and die at this age.

"There is nothing that cannot be said."

Wu Tianming doesn’t seem to care about the script being leaked:

"Low-budget literary and artistic films are not like commercial films that are afraid of leaking the script. No one is willing to plagiarize this kind of plot."

After making a self-deprecating remark, Wu Tianming briefly narrated the plot:

“Blowing the suona, a long-standing folk art, is by no means just for entertainment. What’s more significant is that it serves as an evaluation of the life of those who have traveled far away during funerals—those with mediocre morals can only play two, and those who are average can

There are four instruments to play, and the best ones can play eight instruments. Only those with high moral character and respect are qualified to play [Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix]."

“Only the leading suona masters can perform this difficult piece [Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix].”

"The plot I imagined is that in a town, only Jiao Sanye, the famous leader of the Jiao family class, can play [Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix]. Jiao Sanye is a highly respected old suona artist. He leads his apprentices with persistent enthusiasm

Pursuing and inheriting the suona spirit with firm faith, now that Master Jiao is old, he urgently needs to train a successor."

"Students who can enter Jiao's class must have good character, be loyal to the virtues of suona artists, and "never let go of suona without leaving hands" from the bottom of their hearts. In order to test whether the two apprentices meet the standards, Mr. Jiao, a black man with a cold face but a hot heart

Master Lian used all his tricks."
