"It's another movie that follows the trend, even the name is so similar, this is the first movie I know of?"

"What's wrong with the current filmmakers? Can't they just put some effort into making a movie with their hearts? One by one, they just want to follow the trend and make quick money by opportunism!"

"Today's young people are really amazing, they used to take a random script to find investment, but now they have made a movie that follows the trend and come to find distribution, awesome!"

Lu Yi hadn't walked out of the door of this film and television company yet, and when he heard the discussion behind him, he felt a little bitter in his heart.

MMP!

He wouldn't want to do that if he could.

It's the best time to make movies.

In order to stimulate the further development of the film industry, the country has built three major film and television bases in the south, Loulan and Donghai, plus the original imperial capital and Bingcheng, forming five major film bases in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

Immediately, the film market across the country was rectified, a large number of theaters were built, and the number of domestic screens exceeded 2,000.

In addition to this, the importance of copyright was determined, film censorship was relaxed, and a film classification system was introduced.

The multi-pronged approach has brought incomparably strong confidence to all those who are engaged in the film industry in China.

Then a martial arts movie "Chivalry" swept the world and got a box office of one billion, setting a new record.

When the truck driver, Master Zhang, held his trophy for the best director and announced his arrival as the king domineeringly, everyone in the film industry was excited, and Lu Yi was the same.

With a script that I thought was a classic, I found a number of film and television companies, but all of them hit a wall.

Others think that he just came out of school, and he is still the kind of person who graduated from a film school without grade, has no fame, no experience in making movies, no one is willing to invest in him at all, and he refuses without reading the script.

This road doesn't work, after careful study, to remind others, Lu Yi feels that it is easier to succeed by following a popular low-budget movie, as long as it is released, there will be a chance, and the cost is not high

Lu Yi gritted his teeth, smashed all the tens of thousands of yuan he earned when he was studying, and made a low-budget movie that followed the trend, and by the way, he accumulated experience in making movies.

Didn't those film and television companies say that they had no experience in making movies?

After you shoot this, don't you have experience?

A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine.

However, the movie is not just filmed, it must be able to be screened, and it has a small box office, so that others will really recognize it.

So, Lu Yi visited the film and television company in Kyoto again.

"Hey, why is it so difficult for newcomers to get ahead in this world? I just want to make a movie and make a little money. ”

After leaving this film company, Lu Yi found a random place not far away and sat down, looked at the door of the last film and television company, and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that it is the same in any industry, and it is always very difficult for newcomers without any background to get ahead.

What kind of work experience, whether the academic qualifications are high enough, and whether the graduation school is good enough, all have an impact.

For Lu Yi, who graduated from a little-known school and has just walked out of school, these have become fatal factors.

Glancing blankly at the crowd of people coming and going on the road, Lu Yi carefully took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and counted them carefully.

There are five more.

Today's quantity has been unconsciously smoked by himself, and he can't smoke it anymore, otherwise he will have to run out of food.

Thinking of this, he reluctantly took out one and put it on his nose to smell it, and then put it back again.

Lu Yi's addiction to smoking is not big, but he is under a lot of pressure during this time, so he smokes fiercely.

If he doesn't sell this movie in his hand, he won't even have the money to smoke.

While unconsciously playing with the lighter, while staring blankly at the hurried crowd, Lu Yi didn't know what he should do next.

He ran all the film distribution companies in the imperial capital, and the results were the same.

No one is optimistic about this little movie he made, and it was the first time he made a movie, so people only looked at the name of the movie and didn't read the content at all, so they all refused.

Although Lu Yi has already kept the price very low, even at a loss, no one wants it.

Who let him go to a school that is not famous, not even a well-known alumnus and teacher, and no passers-by, so stupidly plunged into it, how can it be so easy to succeed?

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people. After the labor and management become a great director, let you all kneel and shout Dad!"

Stuffing cigarettes and lighters into his pockets, Lu Yi looked at the film and television company opposite and said a cruel word.

"Huh, isn't this Lu Yi? You're a father?"

The voice in his ears pulled Lu Yi's thoughts back from the clouds, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw his college roommate Zhang Han.

The relationship between the two is good, but after graduation, Zhang Han found a film and television company to work, while Lu Yi chose to toss by himself.

"Uh...... Didn't you go to work at a film company?

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed and stunned, and quickly changed the topic.

"Well, I've been working with the team in this company since I graduated, and I'm busy with it. ”

Zhang Han didn't seem to be willing to mention his work, he glanced at Lu Yi and continued to ask.

"What about you? Did you find someone to invest in the script? When you were in school, you had a lot of good stories in your mind, so you should have found a good investment. ”

When Lu Yi was in school before, he would often tell them some very interesting stories, Zhang Han thought it was very good, and there was no problem at all in making it into a movie.

"I found it, but it's more harsh, I don't know if I want to say yes. ”

Looking at Zhang Han, Lu Yi didn't know why he said that.

"Newcomers come out like this, it's good to be able to find investment, and it's not easy to ask for money from these film and television companies. If you really want to attract investment, I think you can take out your previous short films, write a script, and go to the Youth Film Festival in the lower imperial capital, which is very suitable for you now. ”

Seeing that Lu Yi didn't seem to understand very well, Zhang Han explained again.

"The Imperial Capital Youth Film Festival is a film festival service platform that has just been launched in China to focus on discovering and promoting young filmmakers and their works, focusing on exploring the development direction of filmmakers' debut and early works. ”

"The Youth Film Festival not only has a film festival, but also a venture capital conference and an industrial field, which provides various assistance for those filmmakers in terms of film distribution and financial needs. It's a great place for young filmmakers. ”

"Of the few people in our dormitory, you are the most talented, and you also have experience directing short films. I think if you write down the stories you told before, and then take them out to the exhibition, it will be easy to attract investment. I can't, I can only follow the group now, and I don't even have a chance to touch the guide tube. ”

Zhang Han seems to be very familiar with the Imperial Capital Youth Film Festival, and introduced it to Lu Yi in detail.
