Jiang Yi is not a living Lei Feng, the reason why he is willing to introduce his network resources to these juniors of the same school is mainly because Jiang Yi's current career has reached a bottleneck.

Jiang Yi has been in the film and television industry for many years, and his works have always been tepid, but fortunately, the films he shoots have always belonged to the kind of 'main theme' films that praise merit, so while winning numerous awards, he can also get subsidies from some countries, so he has been mixed well over the years.

It's just that in this era, commercial films have begun to become popular, Jiang Yi's 'red director' is gradually showing signs of marginalization, and there are fewer and fewer government-subsidized main theme films, and he also tried to make two commercial films before, but the box office was quite bleak, so that his former investors began to stay away from him, which finally made Jiang Yi feel the crisis.

This time to bring a few juniors from the same school, Jiang Yi considered that on the one hand, he needs to huddle together to keep warm, so there must be fresh blood in this circle, on the other hand, he is not good at making commercial films, rather than his own investor resources being snatched away by the circles of other film and television schools, it is better to give some young directors in his circle a chance to get investment debut, at least 'fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders'!

At this time, the three young rookie directors also looked puzzled when they saw Duan Yun sitting next to Jiang Yi.

"This young man is a friend of mine, named Duan Yun, he is also interested in investing in the film and television industry, and he is very powerful. Jiang Yi introduced to the young directors.

"Ah, hello! hello!" When the young men heard this, they immediately greeted Duan Yun with a smile on their faces.

Rich is the master.

The film and television industry has a very high threshold for ordinary people, but for investors with a lot of money, they have always been full of enthusiasm and kindness, after all, no one will offend the God of Wealth.

A few million dollars investment may be a small project for the truly wealthy, but for these new directors, it will be a major opportunity to change their life destiny!

"Boss Duan, you are also very good at studying film and television?" At this time, a middle-aged man named Qin Yunqiang, who was sitting in the middle of the dining table, asked Duan Yun with a smile.

"I like to watch movies, I can't talk about research, I just want to make some contributions to the Chinese film and television industry. Duan Yun replied with a smile.

"Hahaha. The old man named Zhou Yongtao, who was sitting on the other side, laughed when he heard this, and said to Duan Yun: "It's rare that Boss Duan has such a warm heart. ”

Although Zhou Yongtao was full of smiles on the surface, like Qin Yunqiang, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes when he looked at Duan Yun.

In fact, there are not many films released in China a year, but in fact, the output of films is quite large.

In addition to the promotional films funded by some local governments and enterprises, the output of theatrical films accounts for a larger proportion.

However, if a commercial film wants to be released in theaters, it still needs to go through a lot of procedures during the period.

Post-production, copywriting publicity, review by relevant departments, when these complicated procedures are completed, there is a final threshold, that is, a small-scale test screening.

A preview screening is generally an internal screening hosted by the filmmaker before all production has been completed. The test screening is similar to the internal test, if there are bugs, depending on the severity, general plot problems can still be modified through editing or special effects. It is not ruled out that there may be a reshoot. There are also test screenings to collect audience reactions and data for marketing reference. The ends are different, the means are different.

However, the main purpose of today's theater test screenings is to collect whether the film really has commercial box office potential, once the audience response is not satisfactory during the test screening process, the theater is likely not to arrange the release of the film, after all, the theater also has to consider the cost and benefit issues, and there is no possibility of returning the cost of bad movies!

The vast majority of the films of new directors are not of high standard, and the new directors receive very little investment, so that the debut films of these newcomers have poor response or even poor results in test screenings, which eventually leads to the inability of the film to enter theaters.

Without the opportunity to be released, the chances of these rookie directors basically wanting to get investment again will become very small, and the real money thrown out by investors will be completely lost.

Therefore, film and television investment is essentially a gamble, which tests the vision of investors and the sense of smell of the film and television market, and the requirements for professionalism are extremely high!

In the eyes of Zhou Yongtao and Qin Yunqiang, Duan Yun is an out-and-out 'rookie', and a rookie means that he has to pay a lot of tuition fees in order to really touch the door of this industry!

It's just that they wouldn't have thought that Duan Yun was indeed a layman in film and television, but he had valuable memories and vision of his past life!

"It should. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Of course, investing in film and television is also a business, I hope to find some like-minded friends in the future, and we can achieve a win-win situation in the future." ”

"Hehe, Boss Duan is not an ordinary person, although he is young, he is still very powerful. Jiang Yi on the side said with a smile.

"You are all my seniors, and I hope to receive your help and guidance. Duan Yun said modestly.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Qin Yunqiang smiled at Duan Yun when he heard this, and then turned to the three young directors and said, "Have you brought all your scripts today?"

Normally, the director will only take out the script when the director and the investor have a face-to-face communication in private, but for these young new directors, they do not have the opportunity to meet with the investor one-on-one, and the confidentiality of the script is not worth mentioning.

Ah, here's my script. ”

"Teacher Qin, please take a look at ......"

And mine. As soon as Qin Yunqiang's words fell, the three of them took out their own scripts one after another and put them on the table respectfully.

"Hmm. Seeing this, Qin Yunqiang and Duan Yun and Zhou Yongtao each picked up a script and read it carefully.

Although Duan Yun used to watch movies a lot, it was the first time he came into contact with the script, which made him look forward to it.

The notebook he picked up was a young director who looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old.

In fact, from the first time Duan Yun saw this director, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

However, when Duan Yun saw the name of the script, he was stunned.

It turned out that the title of that script was written in five big words: "Crazy Diamond"!

In an instant, Duan Yun suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there was indeed a small-production film called "Crazy Diamond", which won tens of millions of box office at a very low cost of several million, ranking ninth in the box office of domestic films that year, although it was not the most top-notch, but in terms of the low-cost production budget of the film, this film was definitely the biggest dark horse of the year!

And Duan Yun also suddenly remembered at this time that the young director in front of him with a bit of ruffian appearance was Ning Hao, the hottest cutting-edge commercial film director in the Chinese film and television industry in the future, and the total box office of the films he made in the next few years reached an astonishing 5 billion!
