Chapter 599 Storytelling

In fact, this problem cannot be bypassed at all. Maybe you won't think much about watching the excitement, anyway, Jing Jian did win the Oscar in the end. And those who really care will surely wonder: "You are a layman who has never made a movie, what makes sense that someone else would invest tens of millions of dollars?"

Jing Jian was also prepared for this question: "In fact, there are a series of coincidences in this. Xiao Xu, you should have known about my lecture series at Jingying, right?"

Xu Guanwen smiled and nodded: "I've heard a little." ”

Jing Jian continued: "In that lecture, my topic was the development of film under the condition of new technology, including the application of computer IT in film. At that time, I was studying chemistry at ULCA, and you should know that the United States is relatively advanced in science and technology, and uses a lot of computer technology in scientific research. At that time, I had just studied abroad, and I was stunned to see that there was such a convenient and useful technology, and I would tell you the truth. ”

"Really?" Jing Jian's painting aroused Xu Guanwen's curiosity, and even Han Jie and Jia Hong widened their eyes, "Later, when I was studying this major, I also taught myself computer-related knowledge. ”

"Director Jing, you're very studious!" Xu Guanwen nodded just right.

Jing Jian smiled slightly. Perhaps traditional Chinese businessmen still pay attention to making a fortune in silence, but businessmen in the Internet age are different, and many times need to be able to tell stories. Jing Jian is certainly quite good at this. When he needs to tell a story, he can make up a beautiful story: "When I became interested in computers, I started to participate in some discussions. At first, it was like an interest group, and slowly I started to get professional. Some of my personal views were recognized, and I co-founded a computer company with some people. ”

"Huh?" Xu Guanwen was taken aback, "You have a company in the United States?"

"Huh. Jing Jian said with a smile, "It's quite easy to set up a company in the United States, and it doesn't cost much money, so many people may have a good idea to start a company." Apple, for example, was founded in a garage. ”

"And your company too?"

"Pretty much. Anyway, many of these small companies are established in the United States every day, and many of these small companies go out of business every day. After a brief introduction, Jing Jian continued, "My company is relatively lucky, has developed greatly, and is still running well?"

"Oh, can you tell me which company?" Xu Guanwen felt more and more that Jing Jian was like a treasure, and he could constantly dig out new treasures.

"Absolutely. Jing Jian smiled and nodded, "Blue Star Network." I am a shareholder and partner in this company, which is now listed on the NASDAQ. ”

"Wow!" Unlike Han Jie and Jia Hong, who were confused, the two of them had never heard of what it meant to be listed, Xu Guanwen knew a little about it, "You actually have a listed company?"

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. Jing Jian shook his head, "It's one of the shareholders and partners." And it has just been listed, and it has grown from small to large, and has developed slowly. ”

Xu Guanwen suddenly noticed that there was something crooked, and immediately pulled back to Oscar: "Director Jing, then how can you go to make a movie?"

"Hey, hey. At that time, a group of us discussed the direction of computer development, and there was a fierce debate, and no one could convince anyone. Later, I had an idea that I could try it in the movie, on the one hand, it was very good for publicity, and on the other hand, it was also for practical application in the industry. Everyone else thought I had a good idea and decided to invest in a movie. ”

Before Xu Guanwen could speak, Jia Hong on the side finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Jian is still ...... You've also made movies?"

Xu Guanwen explained to Jing Jian with a smile: "Director Jing not only directed the movie, but also won the Oscar. It is the pride of our Chinese films!"

Jing Jian hurriedly said modestly: "It's not about pride. In fact, at that time, we were just investing, and we didn't think about writing and directing ourselves, so we had a specialization in the art industry!"

"Huh?" Xu Guanwen felt that this was normal and a little strange, "Then why did you shoot it yourself?"

"You know, our requirement was to highlight computer special effects in the film, and the producers and directors who were hired at the time had their own opinions. They thought we were wrong, so they ignored our objections and did what they did in Hollywood. So there was a fierce quarrel, and in the end they all got stiff. ”

"Stiff?" Unconsciously, Xu Guan heard that they had been immersed in Jing Jian's story, and as the plot fluctuated, their mood also fluctuated, "What should I do?"

"I didn't do anything. Then I got angry and drove them all away. Since you don't want to shoot as I ask, don't shoot it!"

Xu Guan was dumbfounded when he heard this. They definitely didn't expect that the final result would be a one-shot split. After being shocked for a while, Xu Guanwen stammered and asked, "You just drove the original producer and director away?"

"Young and vigorous!" Jing Jian smiled at Xu Guanwen, "In fact, there will be sequelae soon." I originally thought that after a few production directors, it would be easy for Hollywood to find a few more. But I never expected that when the news spread, Hollywood joined forces to boycott such a reckless layman as us, and for a while, we couldn't find a new production director. ”

"Join forces to boycott?"

"Yes, join forces to boycott it! No one can be found. In desperation, I hired Zhang Wulang's fifth brother from Hong Kong as an action director, and found a professor from the photography department at our university to help shoot. And I rushed the ducks to the shelves and served as the producer and director myself. ”

Seeing that Jing Jian's smile seemed to be an understatement, Xu Guanwen immediately made up many turbulent scenes in his mind. It dawned on him that this was scoop. Bravely fight Hollywood and boost the country's prestige overseas. Anyway, this kind of positive energy is very newsworthy, and as long as it can be published, it will definitely be welcomed by readers.

"So did you direct it yourself?"

"I still have to thank my crew. Personally, I'm studying and shooting at the same time. The reason why the film was so successful was that our use of computer special effects was quite crucial. In other words, traditional filmmakers may still maintain the old ideas, while our new ideas represent the future. It can be said that the theory I put forward at that time was correct. Therefore, after returning to China this time, I conducted that series of lectures in Jingying. ”

"I see. ”

"Just learn from each other and communicate with each other. Actually, I've always thought of myself as playing tickets. ”

"Play tickets? Jing Dao, you are really humble. ”

"Hahaha!"

“......”

The train went all the way north, and there was laughter and laughter in the carriages. The story compiled by Jing Jian was a great success, and Xu Guanwen was ready to publish a legend for Jing Jian......
