World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"This... what the chairman taught me is that it is indeed the case."

After Wang Baobao thought for a long time, he had to admire that the chairman's concerns were correct.

"By the way, if you are so worried, do you know what movies will be released during the Spring Festival?"

Qin Dong smiled and didn't say any more about this issue. He was easily confused and asked about other things.

Qin Dong doesn't pay much attention to domestic movies at the moment, so he really doesn't know.

Even though two movies starring the company's artists were released during the Spring Festival, I still didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't ask about it at the company meeting.

Whether it's arrogance, confidence, or whatever, this is Qin Dong's current mentality.

"Among the domestic movies, I studied with my agent and felt that there is another movie that is also a movie, that is Jack Cheng's [Zodiac]. Originally, this movie was planned to be released recently, but the chairman's new movie was announced

Later, [Zodiac] was withdrawn from the show and moved to the Spring Festival show."

"Although other domestic films also have many big-name stars, they are probably not very competitive."

"Recently, there have been two movies featuring many local big-name stars. They are going to compete with the chairman's new movie..."

Wang Baobao also knew that Qin Dong's work focus was abroad, and it was normal not to pay attention to the country, so he quickly introduced him.

But at the end, he winked at Qin Dong with an expression of gloating about his misfortune.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is very good, and Wang Baobao is very good at life, so even though Qin Dong's status is getting higher and higher, his assets are also increasing year by year. The two of them were just a fledgling director, and the other is a rising star.

There is a huge gap in status between the new stars in the industry, but the relationship between the two is not too unfamiliar.

That's why Wang Baobao dared to joke with Qin Dong.

"Brother Cheng's movie is released during the Spring Festival, a festival celebrated by the whole country, [Zodiac]. The name alone appeals to the taste of the Chinese people. This one is indeed a strong rival."

Faced with Wang Baobao's last joke, Qin Dong was indifferent and didn't take it to heart at all.

On the contrary, he expressed his appreciation for Jack Cheng's new movie.

It's just that Qin Dong couldn't say that he had seen this movie, so he had to express his judgment based on the movie's title.

"The company has discussed this and thinks so. It's just that we were originally out of reach, but who knew that the other party would suddenly change gears? The chairman's intimidation is so great that even Jack Cheng, the number one international star in the country, had to take the initiative.

Give in."

Wang Baobao was helpless. An opponent he would never have encountered was suddenly scared away by the chairman.

"Look at how hopeless you are. How can the script I wrote be bad? No matter what, it's just half-assed at most. If you can't lose, rest assured. Tell me which movies have been released recently. How dare you compete with my movie."

Qin Dong said to Wang Baobao angrily, "I want to teach you a lesson."

There is no need to be too polite when talking to acquaintances.

On the contrary, I am curious about the movies released this month. Even before Qin Dong appeared, Cheng Jie Ke, the biggest star in the country and the most outstanding international star among Chinese artists, thought that when Jie Ke's new movie met Qin Dong's movie, he was

He had to take the initiative to avoid it, and during the gear-shifting period, there were actually other movies competing with Qin Dong's new movie, which made Qin Dong curious.

I’m curious which companies and which directors are so stubborn.

Those that can compete in the competition must be domestically considered large-scale movies. Otherwise, movie theaters will not stop showing movies all year round, some fill-in movies, small-budget movies, literary films, etc. These are not considered competitions. Only those big companies and big companies can compete in the competition.

Only big-budget movies with directors and big-name stars can be said to be competitive.

It's just that even if Qin Dong doesn't have enough confidence in his new movie "Gravity", otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big fuss. It's just to regain his face in the movie awards in case the movie fails at the box office.

But the lack of bottom is due to a lack of confidence. This confidence is compared to Qin Dong's other commercial films, so the comparison is insufficient.

Qin Dong is not afraid of other domestic films. Coupled with his reputation, he is the number one director in the country, and there are hints from the people above him. He promotes the advantages of Qin Dong and avoids some disadvantages. All this gives Qin Dong a great deal.

confidence.

"Haha, Chairman, I also think they are brave..."

"There are two movies that gather big names. One is [Big Shanghai] shot by Hong Kong director Wang Jing, starring Fa Ge, Huang Jiaozhu, Sammo Hung, Wu Zhenyu, and Yuan Quan."

"There is also another one shot by Hong Kong director Lau Wai-keung and produced by the great director Peter Chan. It also stars Master Huang and has several well-known idols from across the Taiwan Strait and three places joining the cast. It is considered a big production."

"Chairman, I think these Hong Kong directors still maintain the confidence they had many years ago. They have always thought that the mainland's film industry is backward. Even if they go north, the leading actors in the movies they make are all Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, while the mainland

Some artists, even if they have good acting skills and are well-known in the local area, can still only play supporting roles. They must be taught a lesson this time."

After Wang Baobao introduced the two movies, he finally talked to Qin Dong very unhappily about some grievances that all mainland artists knew.

Although Wang Baobao rose to prominence late, when people from Hong Kong's film industry moved north, he didn't meet them at all.

But Wang Baobao came from a grassroots background, had a good temper, was eloquent, and was very popular. He also knew some secrets in the natural circle, so he also developed a common hatred.

Although he himself doesn't have much ability, he believes in Qin Dong. Based on Qin Dong's experience, he has never lost before, so he expressed his inner thoughts at this time.

There will always be closeness and distance between people, even among relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, and compatriots.

"Okay, these things are not your concern. I have begun to slowly lay out the arrangements. From now on, we will naturally be a family and we will not be so clear-cut. As for some staff members in the circle who have crooked minds, I will naturally take action.

Punitive."

Qin Dong knew Wang Baobao's thoughts as soon as he heard it, but this kind of thing was not something that an actor could touch.

He patted Baobao Wang on the shoulder and comforted him, but since he was one of his own, he also let it slip a little bit.

This is very complicated, so complicated that when a certain year comes, Hong Kong Island is destined to decline after that, including the film industry on Hong Kong Island, which was once known as the "Hollywood of the East". It is bound to decline as well.

.

It’s just that this is the pearl of China. Even if some people want to stain the pearl, there are still some moths and banana people inside, but this is China’s territory, and here are the people of China.

Many people, including Qin Dong, would naturally not remain indifferent.

There are some things that should not be discussed too much. Qin Dong knows it well. His career is destined to be related to the entertainment industry, so his responsibility is to integrate Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry into the mainland as soon as possible.

Everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations. As a film director, this is Qin Dong's responsibility.

"Well, I believe in the chairman."

Although Wang Baobao comes from a grassroots background, he is a eloquent person, knows eye expressions, and knows how to avoid taboos.

He immediately nodded obediently and said no more. It is the choice of a wise person to protect oneself wisely.

"What company distributed these two movies?"

Qin Dong narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The movie Wang Jing shot was distributed by Bona, and the other one was produced by a mid-range distribution company here in Kyoto."

Wang Baobao thought for a moment and immediately recalled the answer.

"Go and call Director Xu Li."

Qin Dong's mind was spinning, he squinted his eyes, and within a few seconds he came up with some unspeakable solutions.

If you dare to compete with him in the ring, then as the number one director in the country, you must let the other party know why Hua'er is so popular.
