When the Ancheng gambling king recognized himself, Jiangbei knew that he had to let go of his inner stubbornness and honestly move towards the new generation of bad movie kings.

The New Year's bell rings.

2022 is destined to be an extraordinary year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the animation "Robot Cat", which was jointly cooperated by Western animation and digital special effects, was officially logged on Tencent Video for broadcast. Due to the base of comic fans, the animation achieved more than 30 million hits on the first day of broadcasting, occupying the top spot in the Tencent animation category.

In just three days, the number of hits has exceeded 100 million, becoming the most popular anime on the whole network.

At the same time, the audience also spoke highly of this cartoon.

For example, the animation content is suitable for all ages, the graphics are beautiful and soft, and the characters are also very cute.

But the fly in the ointment is that there is no tension or excitement in this cartoon, and the only watchability is that every time Doraemon takes out all kinds of magical props from his dimensional pocket.

So in the end, it remains to be seen whether Doraemon can replicate the popularity and honor he received in his previous life.

However, Rao is like this, and the current results can be regarded as gratifying, becoming the most successful animation produced since the opening of Western Action Painting.

"I didn't expect that Beibei's talent is not only reflected in writing scripts, but also in the two-dimensional field?" After the animation was broadcast and achieved excellent results, it naturally attracted Li Youqing's surprise.

Because at the beginning, she didn't think that "Robot Cat" could achieve much success, not that she looked down on her husband, mainly because the current situation of Guoman is like this.

The boutique is there.

But there are very few, far less than island anime, and even compared to Korean anime, it's a bit reluctant.

In the final analysis, Guoman is still developing late,And the Chinese people's idea of Guoman is still in'only children' to see the concept,As a result, Guoman does not have much market in China。

No market equals no income.

Without income, it is naturally impossible to support the development of an anime.

Therefore, many times, you can see some high-quality anime that have been broadcast for one season, or even before the season is finished, there is an economic crisis that leads to the collapse of the middle way.

"It's okay, in fact, I just wrote some stories, and the most attractive thing should be Doraemon. Jiangbei looked at the "Robot Cat" projected on the TV, and replied as usual.

Because he was coerced by his wife to prepare to be a director to make a movie, Jiangbei was extra careful about this kind of praise, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would be tricked into it and put himself in a deep predicament.

"That's pretty good, too. Li Youqing didn't continue to dwell on this, pinched a grape and put it in his mouth, and asked with a smile: "How do you think you are preparing now? Can you direct a film and television drama?"

It has been almost a month since the decision was made to train Jiangbei to become a qualified director, and in this month, with the help of Li Youqing, his theoretical knowledge and practical ability have been 'greatly enhanced'.

However, as for the effect, it is still up to debate, so in order to verify what she has learned during this time, Xiao Nizi couldn't hold back her inner restlessness just after the New Year, and began to urge him to start directing and filming film and television dramas.

"I'm still only learning a little bit about scratching the surface, and I guess it's impossible to shoot on my own. Jiang Bei thought for a moment and replied seriously.

This is not modesty, if you put aside the abilities that come with it, it would be a joke for a worker who has never worked in the film and television industry to become familiar with and become a director who can direct and shoot independently in just one month.

Although directing is a profession that seems to be open to anyone, only those who have worked as directors know that there is a lot to learn.

Like some cross-border directors who acted and directed well in their previous lives, many of them just occupied the title of director at the beginning, and the actual filming was helped by the executive director below, and there were very few things that could be done by themselves.

Of course, I also hope that Li Youqing can understand that cultivating a director is not an overnight thing, don't think about it for three or five years.

In the end, it is still necessary to delay.

"It's okay, we can practice it by shooting. Li Youqing waved his hand and said bluntly: "In order to make your debut this time, I am ready to lose money, so you can do it boldly." ”

This is very straightforward, as long as you shoot, you can lose money.

Look, rich people have confidence when they speak.

Can't compare!

Since he can't hide, Jiangbei doesn't dwell too much on this, because according to the Ancheng gambling king, instead of dragging it out to arouse suspicion, it is better to honestly make a bad movie to wake up Li Youqing who is dreaming.

Jiangbei deeply believes this.

So during this Spring Festival holiday, he stayed at home to write the script, and after three days of 'meditation', he finally completed a super bad movie "Dream Entertainment Circle".

I have to say that in terms of self-destruction of reputation, Jiangbei has done it very thoroughly this time.

It's a pity that the script was rejected as soon as it was written and handed over to Li Youqing after reading it.

"Isn't it badly written?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.

To be honest, it's hard for you to see that "Dream of the Entertainment Industry" is a bad movie just from the plot synopsis, because the story is actually about a group of students working hard for their dreams (entering the entertainment industry).

On the surface, this is an inspirational film of youthful dreams.

In fact, if this movie were shot in a different way and at a different pace, the result would not be as tragic as in the previous life.

So under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Li Youqing to think that he has written a bad script to deal with her.

"It's not that the writing is bad, it's that I don't think it's necessary to use this script?" Li Youqing put down the script of "Dream Chasing the Entertainment Industry", ran to the study and took out two copies of materials and put them on the coffee table, and said: "Oh! You can choose one of these two by yourself." ”

Jiang Bei looked at the two scripts on the coffee table and fell silent.

It was a script written when I first crossed over, and it belonged to the same period as "Don't Stop the Camera". Later, because the script of "Don't Stop the Camera" was accidentally bought by Li Youqing, he quickly removed the two scripts from the shelves and sealed them, and the two scripts have been eating dust on the bookshelf since then.

Since it's a script that eats ashes, how can it be filmed?

Isn't this a people's mentality?

"Why don't you use 'Dream Entertainment'? I think it's more suitable. Jiangbei found a very forcible reason and asked suspiciously.

"What is the budget of your "Dream Chasing Entertainment Industry"?" asked Li Youqing.

Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment and replied, "Twenty million?"

"That's it, the combined investment cost of these two films is less than five million, why should I make a movie that costs 20 million?" Speaking of this, Li Youqing patted his thigh and instructed seriously: "Beibei, we use this movie to practice, so we must choose a low-cost script to shoot as much as possible, so as to avoid causing more losses, do you understand?"

it!

That's not what you said before!

"I can cut back on my budget, but I can't shoot it for 5 million. Jiangbei still refused to give up and suggested.

What kind of popularity do small-budget movies rely on?

Nature is a good subject matter and story.

The themes and stories of the two scripts in front of me are very novel and interesting, and it is difficult to make them into bad movies in this case, and it is easy to be recognized.

In comparison, the theme of "Dream Entertainment Circle" is more old-fashioned.

There is nothing attractive to mention, and you can also copy the shooting techniques of Director Bi in the previous life, so that it is foolproof.

"Wouldn't reducing it to five million reduce the quality of the film? What if it really loses money then?" Li Youqing had a very incomprehensible expression.

"So can I lose?" Jiang Bei tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little speechless.

"You can definitely lose money, but you can't deliberately lose money. Of course, it's best to avoid losses and be as successful as possible. Li Youqing always has her own set of reasons, and she seems to be able to stand up.

It's just impossible to succeed.

Jiangbei only hopes that the film he makes will fail, even if it is to take his reputation.

"Why don't you shoot this first, this one is the cheapest. Li Youqing picked up one of the scripts and filmed it, deciding on the first film directed and shot by Jiangbei in this world.

The old man looked and fell into a long silence.

The name of this movie is called "This Man is from Azure Star", and the investment cost is 130,000.

......

Then Li Youqing began to get busy again.

On the one hand, Jiangbei continued to understand the director's relevant knowledge, and on the other hand, he ran up and down, busy before and after, and used the resources of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Company to prepare for the upcoming film.

As the general manager of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, Li Shu heard that his boss was going to direct a movie himself, and jumped up happily on the spot, not to mention the completion of the preparatory tasks, but also to test whether the actors could give priority to the company's internal artists.

"The investment cost this time is relatively low, and the company's artists are afraid that they can't afford it. Li Youqing thought about it and said euphemistically.

In fact, she is going to invite outside actors, and the salary of those people is about 1,000 yuan a day, and the cost of actors after the filming of a drama can be controlled at about 30,000 yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan can be used for other aspects.

If you invite artists in the company, even third-tier artists are not something that a small movie with an investment cost of 130,000 yuan can afford.

Li Shu quickly explained: "You can rest assured, all the artists in the company can participate for free!"

Are you kidding?

Do you dare to ask for a salary for a movie directed by your own boss? Do you want to be famous?

Even Li Shu didn't forget to add: "In fact, I am not young enough, I also have a dream of being an actor......"

Li Youqing: "This ......"

There is no wall in the world that is breathable, especially in the eyes of those who have a heart.

The news that Li Youqing's husband was going to direct and shoot a movie soon spread in the circle of acquaintances.

Xu Hanzhou, the most famous actor under Erjing Film and Television, hid in the office for a long time when he got the news, and finally found Yang Tianzhen, the gold medal agent of Erjing Film and Television.

"Sister Yang, can you do me a favor? I want Li Youqing's phone. ”

Hengdian Film and Television Base, wearing a costume and dusty face, had just finished a day's filming and was on his way home. At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

New Year's Eve took it out and looked at it carefully, and then fell into a short thought: "Mr. Jiang wants to make a movie?

Thinking of this, Sui Xi picked up his mobile phone and dialed Li Youqing's phone.

There are many more such things.

For example, Hai Da Fat, who is buying a film and television company on the other side of the ocean.

Director Ji Yingzi, who is filming the big movie "Hot Pot Rescue".

and Zhang Jiuliang, the second-year gambling king of Anseong at Meilin University.

"The well-known director will make Xiaobei's debut movie "This Man from Azure Star" is in hot preparation, I have a few supporting roles in my hand, and some students who want to participate in the show will come to Xiaolin to apply tonight, remember to bring money!"
