Chapter 3 10 million investment 80,000 box office
I have to say that the Azure Film and Television Production Base is still very reliable.
He said that he could conduct an interview in 20 minutes, but at 19 minutes, a staff member came in to inform him that the director who was going to interview was already waiting outside, and whether he could start the interview.
"Yes, let's have them interview with us. Jiang Bei glanced at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock, and he had to end the interview as soon as possible and rush home to make lunch.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'm going to let them in for an interview. The staff left.
Jiang Bei continued to look down at the resume in his hand.
The resume is densely written, but in fact it has no reference value at all, if you don't plan to make a bad movie, you don't even need an interview.
"Squeak~"
The door was reopened, and the staff walked forward, followed by five men.
They all look about the same age, about 30 years old.
Judging from the resume, they are all film and television directors who have never been in charge of any real sense.
Very good.
All meet the first condition.
"Hello investors. ”
"Hello investors. ”
Some of the directors who came in were more restrained, some were calmer, and some were sweating profusely.
"Hello, I'm an investor, because I don't want to delay everyone's time, so this interview will be short, just ask one question, and end the interview after this question. Jiangbei took the initiative to explain.
After all, it is rare for five people to interview at the same time like this.
Naturally, the directors didn't have any ideas, and one by one they carefully sat on the makeshift plastic quadrangular stools, preparing for the interview.
"Click~Click!"
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, which startled the people in the room, and they quickly turned their heads to look.
An interview director hurriedly got up from the ground with difficulty, looked at Jiang Bei apologetically and explained: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the quality of this stool to be so poor." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths.
With your more than 200 pounds, can you blame the quality of a plastic stool?
Of course, this is just a small episode, and the interview continues.
"The first question is, how high is the box office or ratings of the most successful film and television drama you shoot independently. Jiangbei asked.
Interview with director A: "Investor, I have been in the industry for ten years, assisted many big directors to shoot many film and television dramas, and has three years of executive director experience, the most successful of which is that this year's TV series "Hanging Northern Cool Knife in the City" was broadcast on satellite TV, with an audience rating of 1.5%. ”
With such good qualifications, he came to apply for a film with a million shooting funds?
Perhaps seeing his doubts, Director A continued: "Although I have a lot of experience, I have never really had the opportunity to direct a film and television drama, so although your investment is small, it is an experience for me. ”
Speak sincerely and explain well.
I have to say that the first director left a good impression on Jiangbei.
At least he was not disgusted because of the lack of investment funds, and his attitude was more upright and positive, which was difficult to see in the circle of his previous life.
But unfortunately, this one is not eligible.
Jiang Bei nodded and motioned for the next one.
Interview with Director B: "Investors are good ......"
The interview process was relatively fast, and every director answered the questions seriously, at least on the surface, Jiangbei did not see anyone showing disrespect or contempt for the job.
They all have the most basic qualities of being a director.
Valuable.
The most important thing is that the director of each interview is not shallow.
Either he has been in the industry for many years, and he has worked hard from miscellaneous work to the position of executive director.
Either they have studied under some big directors for many years and have rich experience.
One is better than the other.
What's more, these excellent directors are not disgusted with the lack of filming funds, and the ultimate goal of the interview is to get a chance to direct a film in person.
To put it bluntly, they want to put it into practice.
Jiangbei has reason to believe that directors like these directors with a good attitude and positive attitude will shine of their own sooner or later.
But the problem is, he doesn't need such an excellent director!
The director is excellent, and his plan is going to go far.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei looked at the last director who had not yet been interviewed today.
If this director is as good as the previous four, then today's interview may be in vain.
Coincidentally, the last director is the fat protagonist who is close to 300 pounds in the process of the episode just now.
It's close to three hundred catties, but fortunately, it should be about one meter eight in height, otherwise it will be like a mountain of meat.
Rao is like this, and the block is not small, so he got up from the stool with difficulty, and said calmly: "Hello investor, my Chinese name is He Chen." ”
"Oh, do you still have an English name?" Jiang Bei asked curiously.
Hai Da Pang smiled and replied: "I also have a stage name, called Hai Da Fat." ”
emmmmm......
What is this?
"You continue. ”
"I'm a newly registered director, and I've been in charge of a film independently, assisted in two films, three TV series, and have only been in the industry for a long time, but I have a very deep foundation in filmmaking. ”
Also in charge of a movie?
After Hai Da Pang said this, the other four directors in the interview room couldn't help but glance at him.
Jiangbei was not surprised, because he had already seen this information on his resume.
"Can you ask about the investment of the film and the final box office?"
It was a polite inquiry, and in fact he had lost much hope.
Let's go home and cook.
When Hai Da Fat heard this, his face instantly stiffened.
Well?
Is there still a twist?
Jiangbei looked at the sea and was fat.
"Shadow ...... The film invested 12 million, and the final box office ...... Not... Eighty thousand. Hai Da Fat said weakly.
"So low?"
"Hiss~!"
The exclamations of the four directors resounded in the interview room.
"Could it be 'Santa Claus,' which was released 24 hours after last Christmas and was withdrawn because the movie had a score of less than 4.0?" asked director C.
"Ahem...... "The fat old man blushed and didn't dare to answer.
It's just that this expression is already a disguised acknowledgment.
In an instant, the interview room fell silent.
The four directors realized something, retracted their expressions, and no longer interacted with Hai Dapang.
Obviously, everyone also knows that it is now during the interview period, and if you dig too much into the 'black history' of the deep sea fat, it will definitely lead to a loss of points from investors.
Although we are all in the same competitive relationship, we still want a fair and just playing field.
Of course, in fact, when Hai Da Pang admitted that "Santa Claus" was filmed by him, no one would think that he could still win among the five.
An investment of 12 million eventually won 80,000 at the box office.
The score of the film is lower than the lower line (4.0).
It's not a question of losing money anymore.
This is likely to ruin his future career as a director.
Because it's hard to find a director who has ever made a film with a score lower than the lower line.
Jiangbei has been in this world for a year, and because of his deliberate attention, he still knows a little about the things in this circle.
The so-called film score is a subjective evaluation given by the audience after watching the film, which is different from the previous life and will not have various objective factors in it.
And the film score has a detailed segment in this world.
Like a score of 9 or more, it is a classic film. (10-point scale)
Rated 8-8.9 is an excellent film.
7-7.9 belongs to high-quality films.
6-6.9 belongs to general films.
5-5.9 is a shoddy film.
4-4.9 is an inferior film.
4- The following are garbage films.
Below 4, it is also called the lower line.
If the score of the film is lower than the lower line of 4.0 24 hours after its release, it will be directly disqualified from screening.
In fact, if the score is lower than 4.0, Azure Star will not be able to release a film for several years.
In this world of 'as long as you are talented, no one will suppress you', if you can make a movie with a film rating of only 4.0, you really have to blame yourself, and you can't even find an excuse.
I can't find it!
That's the kind of 'talent' he needs.
Thinking of this, Jiangbei stood up and walked in front of Hai Da Fat, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have been successfully admitted." ”
"Huh?"
"This ......"
