In the entertainment industry, brokerage companies squeeze artists and sign unequal treaties for artists, but why do artists still depend on brokerage companies?

The answer is resources.

Now in this parallel world, there is not even the concept of a star studio, even if a big golden flower queen like Zhai Qing is still tied to Huaying Media.

Because once artists leave the film company, they will lack resources and umbrellas.

An artist who has decided to go it alone, why should he get a movie contract and sign an advertising endorsement? With so many people in the entertainment industry who have the support of a brokerage company to do the backstage, can you win it from others?

Even if you can get the resources, how do you make sure that the other party doesn't cheat you?

If you encounter a rival artist who hacks you, how do you deal with it?

If there is a capital party that wants to uncover the rules of you, how can you resist?

But these hidden dangers, the brokerage companies will solve them for you.

So a person like Wei Xun who has his own traffic and has no shortage of endorsements, and can also be a screenwriter, director, and actor by himself wants to work alone, but in fact, he also has to face a lot of difficulties.

The first is that your film has to pull a team, you have to rent a space to shoot, and after the shooting, you have to go through the editing, take the dragon mark, and wait for a movie to be really made, and then you have to consider the issue of distribution.

Chitang has Guanchi Group as a backer behind it, and "The Story of Time" can be launched in minutes to drive the marketing of "Chinese Partner".

So what does Wei Xun have?

How can the movies he produced be released, there is no attention, and he can't tear up the theatrical schedule, so why should he compete with the rest of the entertainment giants for the box office market?

Moreover, just like the Shanghai Film Festival, there is no relationship in the circle, and people will not take you to play at all.

If Wei Xun chooses to join any of China Film Media, Times Pictures or even Guanchi Group today, then his name will definitely be on the list of award nominees for this Shanghai Film Festival.

This is the difference between joining a media, film and television giant and working alone.

After explaining the twists and turns clearly, Wei Xun looked at Mao Bin and asked, "So, can you accept this reason?"

The expression on Mao Bin's face stiffened, and he didn't say anything.

Wei Xun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then continued to look down and swipe the list of winners.

In the list of nominees for the Shanghai Film Festival, Wei Xun did not receive any grains.

Although many netizens expressed regret, except for fans, no one really bothered or questioned anything.

After all, with Wei Xun's current strength, he is not yet able to make netizens question the unfairness of the Shanghai Film Festival because he failed to be nominated for the award.

At the beginning of November, the 19th Shanghai Film Festival was held in the Shanghai Yulan Hall.

On the opening night of the festival, thousands of media gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the hall, and countless big-name stars were invited to attend.

Many netizens also watched the award ceremony through live webcast.

But the most eye-catching thing on the scene is the crew of "Wuwen Xidong".

Zhai Qing, the queen of the Golden Flower, Jiang Duzhou, who was nominated for Best Actor twice, and Qi Jibai, who was nominated for Best Director, are absolutely golden.

So as soon as the three of them walked on the red carpet, they caused a burst of screams.

The webcast room is also swiping the screen.

"Zhai Qing is so beautiful tonight. ”

"Jiang Duzhou is also very handsome, I haven't watched "Wuwen Xidong", but with "Forensic Chronicle", I think he can win tonight's actor. ”

"Once Jiang Duzhou can win the actor, the first brother of Times Pictures will be him. ”

"It's a pity, Wei Xun didn't come tonight, and I can't see the handsome guy. ”

""Wuwen Xidong" received so many nominations, but in the end, Wei Xun, who was a screenwriter and actor, did not receive anything, if I were Wei Xun, I would not want to go. ”

"Alas, I hope Wei Xun will continue to work hard next time, there is such a thing as an award, and I can't force it. ”

"But judging from the trailer released by "Wu Wen Xidong", Xun Xun is very handsome in it, not the greasy handsome, but the handsome young master of the sunny rich family. ”

"Yes, I also watched the trailer, it should be released soon, and I will go to the cinema to see it then. ”

When the red carpet of the Shanghai Film Festival opened, Mao Bin also watched the live broadcast at Wei Xun's house.

He sat on the couch, staring at the TV screen, expressionless the whole time.

Wei Xun washed two apples in the kitchen, and when he came out, he threw one to Mao Bin, and jokingly said, "Hey, come back to your senses, look at your sour face." ”

Mao Bin hurriedly took the apple, then took a vicious bite, and said vaguely: "I can't get the nomination, what's wrong with my sourness, and I don't believe that Brother Xun can swallow this breath." ”

Wei Xun was about to eat the apple, but when he heard the words, he slowly took the apple back, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "I really can't swallow it." ”

Mao Bin's eyes lit up: "Brother Xun, what do you think?"

"What can I think. ”

Wei Xun walked to the window and opened the window, the temperature in Beijing in November was already very low, and the cold wind that suddenly blew in made his eyes squint: "I didn't open the film festival, and it is not up to me to nominate it." ”

Mao Bin was a little disappointed when he heard this.

At this time, the awards ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival on TV came to an end, and Zhai Qing won the actress crown again with "No Questions Asked West and East".

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Zhai Qing came to the stage in a dress, she smiled and kissed the trophy in her hand, and after a sincere speech, she said seriously: "To get this actress trophy, in fact, I want to thank a very talented young man, he didn't come tonight, but I believe that one day in the future, he will finally stand here." ”

After saying this, the stars on the scene had different expressions.

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Because although Zhai Qing didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that she was talking about Wei Xun.

Wei Xun stood by the window, listened to Zhai Qing's speech quietly, and then said with a smile: "I will indeed stand there, right where she is standing now, do you believe it?"

Mao Bin almost didn't hesitate and said, "I believe it." ”

Even if Wei Xun had explained to him before, because they were working alone, the next road would be very, very difficult.

But just because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible.

The road that few people take, once you go out, it is the road to heaven.

"In this circle, movies are the foundation of everything, I can write, direct and star by myself, and there is really no need to be constrained by the film company. ”

"I don't have the ability to publish, so I'll find a distribution partner. ”

"If I don't have a theater to support me, then I'll build my own theater. ”

"If there is no film festival willing to take me to play, then I will take the works one by one and smash them, if this can't be smashed, just start a film festival and play by myself. ”

"These rules are dead, but I am alive. ”

"I brought China Film Media, Times Pictures and Guanchi Group into the market to invest in the two films "Chinese Partner" and "Wu Wen Xidong", is it just because I need them to help me fight the pressure from Tianguang and the Dynasty?"

Wei Xun's eyes were very bright at the moment, because he was close to the window, the temperature was too low, and he was angry when he spoke: "I seized power on the set of these two films, followed these three major companies, and walked from beginning to end from film production to editing, review, distribution and final release, followed the old path they walked, and then opened up my own path, who dares to say that I can't become a giant in the film industry myself in the future?"

Mao Bin quietly listened to Wei Xun's remarks, and swallowed and foamed with some difficulty: "Will it ...... Thinking a little too long?"

"What you say does make sense. Hearing this, Wei Xun agreed: "Then take a moment and do the things in front of you well." ”

Mao Bin looked dazed: "What is the matter in front of you?"

Wei Xun smiled: ""Wuwen Xidong" is about to be released, it's time to teach Tianguang Media how to be a person." ”

In August, the lawsuit failed, and Tianguang was not satisfied and applied for a second appeal.

In that case, let's sink him in two movies until you knock them in.

On December 21, the film "Wuwen Xidong", which was invested by China Film Media, Times Pictures and Wei Xun, was released, and it collided with the movie "Thief Raiders" invested by Tianguang Media.

The last Christmas box office battle at the end of the year officially kicked off.
