Chapter 527: Pattern
Whenever people mention domestic film companies, they must be indispensable to the five major private enterprises of Wanda, Huayi, Bona, Guangguang and LeTV.
Because in the entire film industry, in addition to the state-owned China Film Group, these five private film and television companies have a position that cannot be ignored in terms of the output and reputation of their works, as well as the company's individual influence.
Despite this, it is undeniable that the current survival status of the five major film and television companies has begun to change to varying degrees.
In contrast, many cutting-edge companies have also broken out in the film industry recently, such as Jiaying Pictures, Hehe Pictures, Zhenle Dao and so on.
Although these companies are far inferior to the Big Five in terms of output and influence, their strength should not be underestimated, and Lin Xiaoguang's Light and Shadow Group is one of them.
Even if so far, the Thai embarrassment produced by Light and Shadow Group has not been officially released in theaters, but the lineup in front of and behind the scenes, as well as the attention it has received, are no less than any domestic blockbuster.
When a director like Lin Xiaoguang opens a company, the first thing he doesn't have to worry about is content resources, because the director himself is a producer.
But for a real cutting-edge company, Light and Shadow Group is still too short of talents, because Light and Shadow has not signed any other film directors except Lin Xiaoguang.
Recruiting good director talents is the response that Lin Xiaoguang's new company, Light and Shadow Pictures, came up with to solve the output problem.
In fact, Lin Xiaoguang had this idea for a long time, but because of Wu Jin's sudden visit, he was more eager to implement it.
The Light and Shadow Group is very difficult in the process of finding new directors, and Lin Xiaoguang has watched almost all the works of the film academy in recent years in order to recruit talents.
Later, Lin Xiaoguang simply refocused his attention on the entertainment industry, but after thinking about it for a long time, except for Wu Jin, there are not many actors who can really succeed in transforming into directors.
Like Deng Chao, the box office of the movies he made was quite high, but the problem was that the movies were too bad.
And Guo Jingming's small era films, Lin Xiaoguang did not dare to provoke, for fear of being drowned by the audience's spittle.
……
Later, after sparing a circle, Lin Xiaoguang thought of Xu Zheng, and it was in response to the sentence "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”
On a sunny afternoon.
Lin Xiaoguang dragged Xu Zheng to a French restaurant for dinner, and while pouring red wine, he asked with interest: "Old Xu, do you have any plans to be a film director?"
Xu Zheng took a sip of red wine: "No, why did you suddenly ask that?"
You used to be a TV director in Li Wei's official crew, and I think you are fully capable of being a film director. “
"Making a TV series is not the same as making a movie, you have so much confidence in me?"
"What's the difference between making a TV series and making a movie, for example, me, I'm a film director turned into an actor, and I haven't even made a TV series, you look at me now, I have opened my own film company. ”
Xu Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xiaoguang, I didn't say it, you are really a scorpion, the only one! You can do it today, I really admire you, do you remember? At that time, you asked me to shoot people in embarrassment, I also doubted your directing ability at first, but then I still looked at the good script, and I happened to have no movie myself, so I fooled you in......"
Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "Of course I remember, if it weren't for your support back then, I, Lin Xiaoguang, would not be where I am today." ”
"Let's not talk about the relationship between the two of us...... By the way, Xiaoguang, didn't your company recruit directors a while ago?
Lin Xiaoguang's expression was gloomy: "The recruitment advertisement has been out a long time ago, and there are quite a few people who have come to apply, but the key is that there are few capable guys." ”
Xu Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, everything is temporary, your company has just started, and it has not yet made a name for itself in the industry. ”
Lin Xiaoguang sighed: "Forget it, with the current scale and strength of our company, I really can't afford to hire that kind of famous director, besides, I don't think they have anything great, they are all half-baked, but you, if you become a director, you will definitely not be worse than those people." ”
Listening to Lin Xiaoguang's words, Xu Zheng suddenly realized: "You kid won't want to beat me, right?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled embarrassedly: "Lao Xu, who knows me, is really guessed by you." ”
Xu Zheng sighed: "Xiaoguang, I once thought about being a director, really, don't lie to you, I really thought about it, for a long time before you filmed Thai Embarrassment, I was wondering if I could make a sequel myself, but after I read your script, I didn't have this plan." ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked puzzledly, "Why do you think so?"
Xu Zheng took a sip of wine, and then said, "What do you say...... Maybe the idea is not perfect enough, no matter what ideas I have, you are better and more comprehensive than I thought, just say that this time in Thailand, I have also considered, whether the place where the story takes place in Thailand, but I just thought of this idea, you wrote the Thai embarrassment script. ”
"Lao Xu, you must not be discouraged, do you remember Wu Jin? The actor who filmed the Tai Chi Grandmaster, he is also an actor like us, he is now preparing a military-themed movie, in order to attract resources and investment for this drama, he has been in the army for more than a year. ”
Xu Zheng asked in disbelief: "Is it really fake? He plans to start as a soldier? The idea is quite unique!"
"He doesn't plan to be a soldier forever, he just wants to play a good soldier, and then see if he can get the sponsorship of the army by the way, but the opportunity has to be found slowly. ”
"Lao Xu, look at Wu Jin, a martial arts champion wants to transform into a director, you are an actor from a professional class, you have not only directed dramas before, but also directed TV series, is it possible that if you are a film director, will you be worse than me?"
Xu Zheng said sincerely: "Xiaoguang, I'll be honest with you, I actually think that I am fully qualified for the job of director, but the bosses of those film and television companies don't believe it, you are still the first boss to take the initiative to find me." “
"I'm really grateful that you can trust me so much, really, no polite words, everything is in the wine. After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine by himself.
