Chapter 266: Slave to Money

Zhang Yaowu lit a cigarette, suddenly became a little emotional, and his eyes were a little red: "At that time, the people in the entire film industry were very impetuous, but there was no way, after all, it was too easy to make money, people have a certain amount of wisdom and cultivation to control huge wealth, and at the same time, they would not be swallowed up by wealth, if their control and knowledge level could not reach the level of controlling wealth, then they would be eaten by wealth."

Become a slave to money.

I have no hesitation in telling you that I was a slave to money. The sudden rush of wealth made me feel that I had lost my goal in life all of a sudden, and I only knew how to enjoy life.

There's no way, it's easy to make money anyway, and it's easy to spend money, and there's no plan for the future at all.

I always feel that the money in the film industry can't be earned, and it's useless to think so much.

But there will always be a day when good days come to an end, and suddenly there is a click, when all the hot money is withdrawn from the film industry, just like the ebb tide of the sea, and after the beach is exposed, we film practitioners suddenly find that the good days are over. ”

Most of the people in the box have a relationship, they have all experienced that era, experienced the deformed and prosperous days of the film industry, and experienced the loneliness and loneliness of the film industry after the hot money left.

Yang Zijun poured the wine glass in front of Zhang Yaowu with wine again, and stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

Zhang Yaowu smiled bitterly, feeling that he was a little out of shape, after all, he was his boss in front of him, if he continued to lose his temper like this, would it have an impact on his future work?

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yaowu gave up thinking, feeling that it was useless to think so much, and today he opened up, and he must say all the depression and thoughts in his heart.

"At that time, the entire film industry was similar to me, and it was easy to make money in a good life, but I didn't save any money at all, and I squandered it all.

When the cold winter comes, life will not be easy.

At that time, the number of newly launched movies was very small, and it was difficult for everyone to find a stable job, and many people couldn't survive during this period, so they had no choice but to change careers and do other jobs temporarily.

Oh yes, it seems that I haven't told you what I used to do, so I'll show you the bottom today, I was a very powerful assistant director before I switched to publicity planning.

I've worked on 60 films, if not 80, but 60, and of course, there's nothing to boast about, because 99 percent of these movies are garbage, money-making stuff. ”

Zhang Yaowu ruthlessly analyzed himself, which made everyone present feel very heavy, and even Yang Zijun felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Jingyi felt that Zhang Yaowu's words seemed to be off-topic, and wanted to remind him to the point, but seeing that the staff at the scene and Yang Zijun seemed to like to listen to it, Lin Jingyi resisted her urge to interrupt Zhang Yaowu, just smiled, and did not stop Zhang Yaowu from continuing to speak.

Zhang Yaowu ate a peanut and took a sip of white wine, his face turned a little red: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm a little out of shape, but when I think of these things, my heart is as uncomfortable as blocking a big stone."

Originally, my dream was to be a director, but because of the abnormal development of the film industry, my dream was stifled.

It's really sad to think about it now, if I had stuck to my dream, maybe I wouldn't have been the director Yang today, and I would have been the one who won the Viska Award. ”

One sentence made everyone at the scene laugh.

Yang Zijun leaned back with a smile, and he patted Zhang Yaowu on the shoulder: "It's not too late for you to change careers and come back to be a director now, there is still a chance at the Viska Film Festival next year, you can impact it." ”

Zhang Yaowu hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm this old now, and if I change careers, I may not even be able to catch up with the heat of eating." That's it, I'll be content if I can feed my family, and as for my dreams, let him always be a dream, it's good to think about it. ”

Lin Jingyi was afraid that Zhang Yaowu would continue to be sentimental, so she quickly brought the topic back on track: "Planning Zhang, we all admit that the story you just told is very exciting and very touching, but there seems to be a little problem, your topic is off track, we are talking about the problem of brushing the box office, you suddenly brought the problem to the glorious era of movies, is it a bit too far?"

Zhang Yaowu immediately smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, chairman, my brain was on a whim, and I remembered all the things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, I shouldn't have said this."

Now I will get down to business, since the end of that deformed development era in the film industry, in order to supervise the healthy development of the film industry, many relevant departments have been established to supervise the healthy development of the film industry.

Among them, there are relevant departments that specifically check whether there is moisture at the movie box office, if someone maliciously brushes the movie box office, once it is found, then he will be in big trouble.

Today's matter is the same, if Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, dares to blatantly brush the box office, as long as we get the evidence and hand it over, we don't need to do anything in the future, Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, will dig his grave for himself, let's just watch the show.

So I think there is such a big risk, Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, definitely doesn't have the courage to brush the box office. ”

Lin Jingyi nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything, but the other staff in the private room all felt that what Zhang Yaowu said was very reasonable.

Jiang Zhenya, an old fox, has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he has experienced both good times and bad times, and he must understand the seriousness of the box office better than anyone else, if he really has the courage to brush the box office, he will wait to celebrate his 80th birthday in prison.

There are so many reasons to restrict Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, from brushing the box office, Fang Fei is much more down-to-earth, she feels that even if this old fox has great courage, he will definitely not risk his future personal freedom, after all, he has too many assets under his hands, even if he gives up the income from this movie, his assets and investments in other aspects are enough for him to live the rest of his life comfortably.

So there is no need for him to take this risk, and there is no need to bet on his entire net worth.

Lin Jingyi looked back at Yang Zijun.

Yang Zijun kept looking at the dishes on the table, thinking about something, as if he didn't listen to a word of Zhang Yaowu's words later.

"Yang Zijun, why are you stunned? Do you think what Zhang Jihua said just now makes sense?" Lin Jingyi asked tentatively, wanting to see how high Yang Zijun's Taoism was.
