Chapter 276: Discord between the three views
Xiao Li, let me introduce to you, this is a well-known writer and screenwriter, Xue Xiaolu, she used to be the screenwriter of the TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers". ”
"Sister Xiaolu, this kid is the Li Mo I told you, don't look at his age, he has already directed two movies, "Hypnosis Master" and "Chinese Partner", and he has also established his own film and television media company, which is the Molong Media you mentioned last time. ”
I don't know if Xu Zheng did it on purpose, Li Mo always felt that when he introduced himself, he focused on the identity of the boss of Molong Media.
In fact, before Xu Zheng opened his mouth to introduce them, Li Mo had already recognized the woman in front of him.
Xue Xiaolu is the director of the film "Ocean Paradise" and the series "Beijing Meets Seattle".
This young lady is a real talent.
is different from Xu Jinglei's 'talented girl' who does things because of people, Xue Xiaolu really relied on her own strength to get to that position step by step.
In the film and television industry in his previous life, Li Mo once heard a joke about Xue Xiaolu.
"She is the best at writing among screenwriters, the most talented director in her family, the longest volunteer among directors, and one of the few associate professors among the volunteers......"
In just one sentence, it sums up most of the identities that Xue Xiaolu has in her decades of struggle.
In 1994, Xue Xiaolu served as the screenwriter of "Forbidden City Love".
In 1997, he entered the program production center of Yang Ma,
In 2001, her work "Don't Talk to Strangers" as a screenwriter became popular, and carved the image of "An Jiahe", a paranoid and psychopathic domestic abuser in the history of TV dramas in the Celestial Empire......
Until more than ten years later, when it comes to actor Feng Yuanzheng, many people still subconsciously think of the appearance of 'An Jiahe'......
In 2003, Xue Xiaolu entered the Literature Department of the Imperial Capital Film Academy as an associate professor and master's supervisor......
At this time, she was only thirty-three years old......
It can be said that this young lady has fully explained what it means to be a winner in life with her own experience.
If you don't count Liu Ruoying's "Later Us", Xue Xiaolu will have the crown of "the highest-grossing female director of Chinese films" in the future.
……
After Xu Zheng introduced the two, Li Mo waited until Xue Xiaolu stretched out his hand before shaking hands with the other party, and said: "Fortunately, Sister Xiaolu, I like your movie "Ocean Paradise" that reflects autistic people. ”
Although Li Mo's attitude is quite respectful, Xue Xiaolu is an old man who has been in the circle for many years, and naturally knows that in the eyes of the bosses of the production company, only movies that can bring income are good movies, so there is no intention of holding a shelf in her attitude, "Director Li is young and promising, but I have been in the industry for so many years, and my results are not as good as Director Li." ”
"Where, where," Li Mo glanced at Xu Zheng quietly, he didn't know that Xu Zheng and Xue Xiaolu still knew each other in his previous life, "I've come this way, Brother Zheng has helped me a lot, if it weren't for his love to help, it would definitely not be so easy for "Master of Hypnosis" to be released and released." ”
Hearing this, Xu Zheng's heart didn't mention how useful it was.
At the beginning, he helped Li Mo, more out of Sun Yuyang's face.
At that time, although he was optimistic about Li Mo's future development, he would never have imagined that in less than a year, the little guy who didn't even have a distribution channel at the beginning had actually entered the club of one billion yuan with a total box office.
……
Just when Li Mo was secretly guessing Xue Xiaolu's purpose, Xue Xiaolu was also secretly observing Li Mo.
Although Xue Xiaolu has directed feature films such as "Ocean Paradise" before, and also collaborated with Kung Fu Emperor Jet Lee, that experience did not actually help her career as a film director.
Because "Ocean Paradise" not only failed to recoup its investment at the box office, but also only won the Huabiao Award for rookie actors and rookie screenwriters in professional awards.
The former award may be a compliment for heraldry, but the latter award is simply a shame for Xue Xiaolu.
…… In other words, Xue Xiaolu has no achievements in the field of directing.
Add to that a natural gender disadvantage......
If Xue Xiaolu hadn't hit a wall in Anle Films, how could she have found Xu Zheng through layers of relationships......
The three chatted for a few words, and Xu Zheng took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Li, Sister Xiaolu has a book in her hand, and she has not been able to pass the review project, if you are free, you can help her take a look at the ......"
"Huh......?"
Originally, Li Mo had been speculating about the reason why Xue Xiaolu came to him, but after thinking about it, he never expected to hear such words from Xu Zheng's mouth.
The script didn't pass the review?
This kind of thing should be found ****.
When will we have the ability to help people review scripts?
"That'...... Let's find a place to sit down and talk. ”
It's one thing to not be able to figure out what's going on, it's another thing to not be cowardly.
Anyway, you have to listen to the ins and outs of the matter before you decide.
Just as Li Mo was looking around for a slightly quieter corner, Xu Zheng offered to leave first.
…… It seems that for him, introducing Xue Xiaolu to Li Mo is already a completion of the task.
As for what kind of honesty you will be in the future, that's not something he intends to mix.
Li Mo is naturally happy to see this.
After all, if Xu Zheng was here, it would not be easy to say a lot of things in front of him.
After coaxing the two of them in a good voice, and asked Feng Wen to arrange for them to take their nanny car to the hotel to rest first, Li Mo found a small reception room under the arrangement of the hotel, let the hotel waiter serve two drinks, and then sat down and slowly learned from Xue Xiaolu about what happened.
According to Xue Xiaolu, since "Ocean Paradise" failed to meet expectations, she has been concentrating on polishing herself in the past two years, and she is also paying attention to some trends in the film and television industry.
But in the past two years, people in the film and television industry have probably been stimulated by the so-called 'blockbuster' era, not only the screenwriter and director want to play with big investment, high cost, and most of the themes are ancient costumes, epics and the like.
And this aspect of the content is exactly what Xue Xiaolu is not good at.
Just last week, Anle Film and Television, the distribution company of "Ocean Paradise", just decided to invest in many films such as "The Great Pursuit", "Storm" and "Rooftop Love", and could only regretfully refuse the script that Xue Xiaolu came to the door.
What's worse is that when Xue Xiaolu tried to send her script to the desks of many production companies, the feedback she got was basically 'because it does not conform to the correct values and morals of the current society, and the recommendation will not be approved.' ’
As for what exactly doesn't fit?
Sorry, I didn't say it......
Even if Xue Xiaolu used her relationship in the Imperial Capital Film Academy, she still got this answer.
After more than two years of hard work in polishing the script, it was said that it would be killed, and Xue Xiaolu's depression can be imagined.
What's worse is that she didn't even figure out why she was killed.
Just when she had nothing to do, there were sudden rumors in the industry that Molong Media had a good relationship with China Film Group, and with the mentality of 'rushing to the doctor', Xue Xiaolu found Xu Zheng through various relationships, hoping to open up a way......
