Chapter 278: Contract Renewal (3/5)
"All of you here are directors, most of them are my seniors, and I'm not presumptuous, so let's just say a few words about why I want to be a director!"
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "I just watched too many movies that I don't know what to call it, and I don't understand why such a work can still be put on the big screen, and it's even more desperate, these people still want to buy my film and television adaptation rights!"
"When I first started in the industry, there were really not many movies that could be seen in the theater, most of them had a strong personal style, I didn't averse to personal style, but if the market didn't buy it, it means that your personal style didn't work, in that case, why didn't anyone shoot some stories that the public liked?"
"I talked to my teacher about this, and he said that film is art, and if the public likes it, then it is not art!"
"I don't agree with this point of view, no art should be separated from the masses, art without the masses is water without a source, a tree without roots..."
"When I really became a director, I discovered a phenomenon, every type of work in the crew has to be decided by you, including scenery, art and even costumes, and I am not a professional costume designer, you let me decide the costumes, isn't that a joke? Later, I asked Zhang Shuping, and he said that this is the norm, even when filming movies in Hong Kong, every crew has a role, and this corner determines the direction of the whole play!"
"This may be a legacy of the troupe culture, in the past, in the troupe, it was popular to raise a team with one corner!"
"In today's film industry, this role may be a director or a superstar. ”
"I don't think that's right, everyone is not a generalist, if the director is in control, it is very likely that a rich boy will wear a Metersbonwe..."
"Of course, I'm not saying that Metersbonwe is bad, just an analogy. ”
"I see it this way, of course the director is very important, but other types of work are also very important, photography, art, props, lighting, costumes, etc. are all related to the success or failure of a play, please leave professional things to professional people, thank you..."
With applause, Zhang Junsheng walked off the stage.
"I thought you would say encourage new directors..."
“… Needless to say, I've always done that..."
The two assistant directors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are now in charge of themselves, and the cinematographer has also become a director...
Not only that, the dozens of director assistants that Yuehua has signed now will let them be directors in the future.
"Just now they were discussing it, and they think that next year's box office is likely to exceed 20 billion..."
Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "... How can it be so fast?"
"Come to think of it, the number of screens has reached 22,000 today, and new movie theaters are being built every day..."
"I think it's going to be the year after then. ”
Rao Xiaozhi was probably relieved from the topic of beautiful legs, and interjected and asked, "... Why?"
"Because the "Memorandum of Understanding on Sino-US Films" will be signed the year after tomorrow!"
……
looked at Zhang Junsheng standing on the stage, and everyone at the table next to him had their own thoughts.
In fact, when Zhang Junsheng first started filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", there were gossips in the circle, most of them were talking about what tricks a doll can play?
Then, "A Chinese Ghost Story" won the box office champion of the year with a box office score of 220 million, and not only that, but it was also a big hit overseas!
If you want to say that he took shit luck, then "Crazy Stone", "Vulgar", and "People in Embarrassment" are also shit luck?
Not only himself, but 90% of the movies produced by Yuehua are big profits, which is higher than most of the movies in the country!
We all know that for domestic films, now is the best era and the worst era.
It is said that it is the best era, because the policy has been relaxed, the creative environment is freer, and all types of films can be tried, unlike in the past, there were only main theme films and literary films.
The worst era refers to the globalization of the film market, and Liu Shen of the Internet has made everyone see a huge gap.
In the past, when the door was closed, you liked to watch the movies made by Lao Tzu, and it didn't delay me to support my family, but now it's not good, it's marketized, and if a movie loses money, you have to make up for it...
More often than not, there is no chance of making up for it...
After the party, everyone went back to their homes, Zhang Junsheng also got in the car and prepared to go home, tomorrow is New Year's Day, and the whole family has to be together!
In fact, when the Directors Guild invited Zhang Junsheng, he was a little hesitant, but finally joined!
In China's social life, the organization plays a very important role, and being away from the organization means being unstable and difficult to manage.
Only by being included in this management system and becoming a member of the organization will everyone feel at ease.
When a person has a status in society, he will join various organizations and be included in a huge management system, otherwise he will become an alternative in the eyes of others.
It's called the mainstream sucking up the marginals!
……
After New Year's Day, Zhang Junsheng immediately turned on the work mode.
If you go to the United States the day after tomorrow, you must complete the renewal of the brokerage company within two days.
After discussing with Wang Shumei, those who are willing to sign a personal studio will be affiliated with Yuehua, and if they are unwilling, they will be released!
The brokerage company is independent of the Yuehua system...
Therefore, whether they leave or stay, the impact will not be very great, Uncle Ge also signed a film contract, as for Zhou Xing... It can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions.
However, the brokerage company, Yuehua is a shareholder...
Wang Shumei: "Actually, most actors are still willing to stay. ”
“… That's for sure, we have enough resources, and we are not stupid. ”
“… It's a little difficult now that those little flowers, they don't want to renew their contracts, they all want to toss the studio!"
"Let them toss!"
Wang Shumei was very unhappy: "... You put it simply, what if you really let them toss and leave?"
"It's okay, just the brokerage company has a stake!"
"Without artists, all of them have their own studios, how can I continue to operate?"
"How many new people should you sign..."
"Sign newcomers, become popular, and they will leave... It's not a way to keep circling like this!"
This pedaling is an endless loop...
Zhang Junsheng also has no good way: "This, we can learn more from Hollywood, not forgetting the grace of Bole is one thing, making concessions to open market competition is another, focusing on the artist, solving the needs of the artist at each stage, and the brokerage company can survive for a long time." ”
"You put it simply, people can make money themselves, why should they give a share to outsiders?"
Wang Shumei shook her head: "I still think we should simply set the termination conditions a little higher..."
"No, what if someone goes to court to sue us?"
