"Burst Drummer" started out as a script, and later, Damien participated in the Sundance screenplay audition, passed, and got a $20,000 bonus...

Later, he met Dan Gilroy, who suggested that he wanted to use the money to make a short film, and then use the short film to convince investors.

The short film went directly to the Sundance Film Festival Short Film Jury Prize, and the jury gave him a $100,000 shooting fund!

This amount of money is far from enough, Dan Gilroy introduced the local tyrant from China...

Yang Xin pulled the focus again...

Focus Films belongs to the distributor.

No matter how awesome Qiancheng Film and Television is, it can't release an independent film in North America, and the focus is different...

They started as distributors, backed by Universal Pictures.

Damien Chazelle accepted the benefits of the Sundance Film Festival, and it was reasonable to express it.

Let's say putting the premiere of "Burst Drummer" at Sundance...

That's why he was in a hurry to shoot.

However, the actor is still busy tinkering with the TV series and can't spare time at all...

So what to do?

The investor asked him to postpone filming and wait for the actor to enter the scene...

Damien Chazelle a hundred reluctantly.

He wants to make a movie, but he also wants to prove himself through Sundance!

That's Sundance!

The highest honor in the North American independent film industry!

Why is Sundance praising you?

That is, I fancy your talent and think that you are worthy of praise, how many film directors in North America can be valued by Sundance, and how many can be directly announced to the world through the platform of Sundance?

People look up to you, but you dare to ignore them?

Cannes?

Damien is not optimistic...

That's a European film festival!

But his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the producers and producers wanted him to postpone the shooting.

After thinking about it, it's still scheduled to start in March...

Then, he received a call that Shen Ming had resigned, but with an additional investment of $500,000, he asked him to find a more suitable actor...

Damien Chazelle was confused, he had rearranged the protagonist's character according to the protagonist, Asian, obsessed with jazz drums, and now he wanted to find a new actor?

Looking for a suitable actor?

How can it be that easy?

……

Yes, Brother Ming decided to quit "Burst Drummer"...

This decision was painful, after all, he liked the script very much...

However, Damien Chazelle is Sundance's favored director, which means that the best stage for his debut film to bloom must be Sundance!

If Shen Ming really went to shoot "Burst Drummer" in March, how would Sundance explain?

What about Operation Red Sea?

Also, what about Extreme Challenge?

Therefore, the best thing to do is for Shen Ming to resign...

Or the only way...

Yang Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, she was afraid that Shen Ming would not be able to distinguish the severity!

Yes, "Bursting Drummer" is very different and definitely a masterpiece, but Shen Ming is a Chinese filmmaker after all, and his roots are always in China!

Lin Chaoxian is developing in the direction of a royal production, "Operation Mekong" proves that he has the ability to direct large-scale action scenes, and "Operation Red Sea" is supported by the Haizheng Television Art Center, which is a big production with a certain quality!

400 million investment, at least 2 billion movies!

Yang Xin felt that Shen Ming needed a high-box office work, and the schedule was empty, so he could take over more works...

As for the award, it was too difficult, Zhang Ziyi was in full swing back then, but the result was still a failure.

"By the way, when you see Wang Zhonglei and them tonight, your attitude is better..."

"You won the Artist of the Year award..."

Shen Ming finally gave a reaction: "Artist of the Year?"

“… In the domestic awards ceremony, basically whoever gets the award to whom, you won the artist of the year, Zhao Liying is the actor of the year, and the influential actor of the year is Yang Mi, in short, it is to change the tricks to commend you!"

"Okay, got it, I'll sleep..."

Then, Shen Ming's cell phone rang, and Damien Chazelle dialed...

The two discussed for a long time, Brother Ming was moved, Damien said that he could adjust the shooting cycle, he was not optimistic about Cannes, and was ready to rush to Venice, as for Sundance, his next work will premiere at Sundance...

"Okay, then we'll see you in May!"

Yang Xin glanced at Shen Ming, who was full of smiles on his face, and swallowed back what he was about to say...

……

The appeal of iQIYI's platform has actually surpassed that of ordinary TV stations, and even several first-line satellite TVs!

Because the online video platform has one of the biggest advantages over TV stations, its audience is all netizens.

The most important reason is that iQIYI has indeed become the first in the industry, and he has more than 40 million VIP users!

The average traffic will definitely cheer!

No, except for Yang Yang, the other three of the four major flows came...

But this definitely doesn't represent the whole industry!

The lineup is there, but they are all the highest-grossing stars this year, and they don't care about those who are highly respected, and they don't care at all, in other words, in business, people only care about the number of broadcasts and the degree of eyeballs, and as for word of mouth, they don't have high requirements.

The pork is obvious, the most popular actor and the most popular actor, aren't these two the same?

There are two kinds of stunned, and a few people are distributed...

No one can afford to offend!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Shen Ming, who was wearing a black suit, arrived on the red carpet and saw a group of people queuing.

“… Alas, it's arguing about the red carpet order again!"

Yang Xin sighed...

Through the car window, Shen Ming asked, "There was no order at the beginning?"

"What's the use? When you get to the scene, people don't enforce it!"

“… When are we going to play?"

“… You are the third from the bottom, Zhao Liying is the finale!"

"Forget it, it's so cold here, let's go inside!"

As he spoke, Shen Ming reached out and wanted to open the car door.

"No, walk the red carpet now and lower your value!"

Shen Ming coughed: "Brother Bo told me before, the order of the red carpet is actually not important, if you put a child who has just entered the industry at the back, the reporter machine will be accepted, and no one will shoot him." But the big guy, if you leave at any time period, he should be the focus or the focus. ”

Peng Peng and Nan Xiao, who were sitting next to him, felt that Shen Ming said it so well!

It's a pity that Yang Xin didn't eat him at all: "You are not a big name now, Zhang Ziyi walks the red carpet, and it will always be the beginning or finale!"

It's Zhang Ziyi again...

There is no comparison between the two of us!

I wanted to complain, but unfortunately, Brother Ming still sat in the car honestly and watched Yang Xin get out of the car...

Peng Peng sighed, "It's so tiring to be a star, it's so particular to walk the red carpet!"

Milk Xiao replied: "... No way, who made you popular, if you are not popular, just go, don't care about the order!"

Shen Ming lowered his head and looked at his phone...

Peng Peng chatted with Cheng Xiao for a few minutes, and finally remembered Shen Ming: "Why don't you speak?"

“… It's nothing. ”

Brother Ming hurriedly put away his phone...

"What's wrong?"

“… It's okay, a friend I haven't seen in a long time invited me to have a meal!"

"Who?"

“… It's just ordinary friends. ”

Shen Ming was hesitant, and Cheng Xiao became more and more suspicious: "Female?"

"Okay, I said, it's Zhang Xiaoai, she heard that I came to Beijing and wanted to meet me!"

“… You agreed?"

"I don't have time, I've got to go back tomorrow and shoot again!"

Cheng Xiao stretched out his hand: "Give me the phone, I'll see how you get back!"

“… No, I can handle this!"

"It's strange that you can handle it!"

"I said yes, there is no need to talk about this issue!"

“🤔？？”

“… Okay, look, look~"
