Chapter 118: Signing a Newcomer (3/6)

In fact, no matter how many times Lu Xiaoran and Jiang Wen met, the result was the same!

They have different perceptions of movies.

Of course, Lu Xiaoran is willing to admit the artistry of the film, but commercial factors are the main reason that supports the development of the film to this day - there is no money to be made, who will invest in the film?

He is willing to admit that Jiang Wen's movies have a group of die-hard fans, and they stubbornly believe that Jiang Wen's movies are the most unique among Chinese movies, and they also say, 'Cherish Jiang Wen, there is no second one in the entire Chinese film circle!'

According to this theory, is it possible for Mr. Bi to fight?

You can't find the second "Dream Showbiz"...

In fact, before "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen was one of the Chinese directors who were the most pitiful investors in the film and television industry, and someone made a ranking of the degree of pits, and Jiang Wen seemed to be second or third.

The logic of film and television investment is different from the logic of creation.

It's not that good works necessarily make money.

First, we must look at the ability to win the box office, second, we must look at the ability to save costs, and third, we must look at the ability to shorten the investment cycle.

Everyone understands this, when investing in wealth management products, you must look at the rate of return, the investment period, and the proportion of management fees.

Jiang Wen is probably the culmination of pit investment.

His insistence on art, or his paranoia about his own selfish desires, made him unable to compromise no matter what the investor was...

He has the vice of changing the script on the spot, just like Wang Jiawei.

When filming "The Sun Also Rises", investors had a lot of requirements for the film. There must be beautiful women, there must be sex, and there must be all kinds of business elements!

Jiang Wen was all satisfied, and then the film came out, and everyone said they couldn't understand it.

Lu Xiaoran is different, he thinks that movies are first of all mass media, and understanding is the first element, and then it is added with metaphors and private goods...

As long as a movie is logged into theaters, it faces tens of millions of audiences, and there is not much meaning that really wants to be found in the movie - the truth of life, we all understand...

Also, Jiang Wen said that he had to ask about every process of the movie, which made Lu Xiaoran a little frightened...

In fact, many domestic crews do this, the question is, what should I do when the director's aesthetics can't keep up with the times?

For example, some directors are detached from life, and what he thinks of as a poor life is what he knew decades ago: what to serve food in a basin, ride a horse...

Or take a piece of what he thinks is fashionable: Yangge performance...

The list goes on.

Even Feng Xiaogang, "Only Yun Knows", two Beijing natives, a retired art troupe, a child of the Eight Courtyards, New Zealand, met and fell in love with each other to get married, opened a restaurant together, experienced an accidental miscarriage, adopted stray dogs and a restaurant fire, and finally the heroine died of illness, and the man took the ashes to help the heroine realize her dream and work hard to live.

Such a movie, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is difficult for the current audience to empathize...

Because times have changed!

Few people were moved, except for the director himself...

……

Jiang Wen is gone...

It is estimated that this is the last time the two will meet.

It's okay, it's a different person, and if you have to work together, no one can convince anyone in the end.

Why bother?

It's a little regrettable, but Lu Xiaoran also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Zeng Guangxian to send an invitation to Wang Zhiwen...

Feng Yuanzheng...

It's a little worse in terms of fame!

"Nightclub" was completed, and the producer calculated the general ledger and slumped, and only spent 4 million...

Well, the remaining 200,000 will be counted into the publicity funds after that.

Huang Bo went to shoot "Bullfighting", and before leaving, he said to Lu Xiaoran, 'At least a month, at most half a year'...

Filming is notoriously slow and meticulous - at least in movies!

Xu Zheng was in a hurry to go home to see his daughter...

Yang Qing went back to do the later stage...

was very busy, even Lu Xiaoran bought a few books about the Three Kingdoms and studied Sun Ce...

Luo Guanzhong is obviously a fan of Shu Han, so a large amount of ink is concentrated in Shu Han Group, Sun Ce... Unimportant!

In the entire "Three Kingdoms", he appeared four times.

Looking at his words and deeds, you can know this person's character: chic and uninhibited, personable...

He is almost the same as Huang Shu, and his lines are the same: "I have to be Gongjin, and the big things are harmonious!", Huang Shu said 'I have Kong Ming, and the fish has water!'

Sun Ce is very righteous - the big and small Qiao sisters gave one to Zhou Yu...

Lao Cao will never forget: the second bridge is in the southeast, and the joy is shared day and night...

Of course, people are talking about the two bridges next to Quetai, Zhuge Liang lobbied Dongwu, in order to persuade Dongwu to join Shu to resist Wei, he said that "Tongquetai Fu" is about "Lan Er Qiao"...

The shortcomings are that the personality is unstable and unprepared, the personality is strong, the advice is provoked and listened, the temper is violent, and the simple act of killing people is like to solve complex contradictions...

However, the more books I read, the more I feel contradictory, such as the process of Sun Ce and Da Qiao falling in love:

"Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhou Yu" records: "From the attack on Anhui, pull it out." The two daughters of the bridge are both national colors. Tsezi Na Bridge, Yuna Small Bridge. ”

In "The Biography of Jiang Biao", Sun Ce calmly played Zhou Yu and said: "Although the two daughters of Qiao Gong are displaced, it is enough to be happy to have the two of us as sons-in-law." ”

These two sentences add up, which is what Sun and Zhou took in Qiao: Sun Ce and Zhou Yu broke through Anhui City, Qiao Gong fled like other refugees, and was seen by Sun and Zhou Er, and accepted his two daughters as concubines.

Alas...

Let's wait until I see the script and then analyze it!

Who knows how Director Gao will arrange Sun Ce?

……

Nine a.m.

Orange Image, Lu Xiaoran clocked in as usual, sat in his office for half an hour, and then prepared to leave...

The company's business is on the right track, and his role is more of a town.

Zeng Guangxian pushed open the door: "I'll just say that you definitely didn't leave!"

“… Something?"

"Wang Zhiwen is very interested in this role and wants to talk to you!"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to watch the end of 'Nightclub' in the afternoon. ”

"What's the matter? Yang Qing has a problem over there?"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "... That's not it, I'm afraid he's messing around, so I'm going to take a look. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zeng Guangxian nodded.

I didn't think there was anything wrong, the investment, producer, and production of "Nightclub" all had Lu Xiaoran's name written on him, and he stared at the later stage, as it should be.

"By the way, I want to ask you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Xiao Dou in "Rescue Mr. Wu", who are you going to find?"

"Little Dou?"

Lu Xiaoran then remembered that there was still a little Dou who didn't choose an actor!

"Lu Fangsheng... Forget it, he's not very suitable for this kind of play..."

"What I mean, should we sign a new person?"

"Newcomer?

"I really think that Luo..."

"Get out... Change one!"

Interesting, isn't it interesting? Why do you keep mentioning this person?

Although Zeng Guangxian didn't know what this Luo Jing had done to make Lu Xiaoran dissatisfied, it might be that his aura was wrong...

On second thought, they haven't met yet!

"Shall I look for it?"

"It's better to find someone with a more positive image, there are a lot of scenes, I don't want to take it, but I can let him act!"

"Understood!"
