Chapter 16 The directing department also needs an art test
Looking at Xu Zheng and Baobao, who were covered in chicken feathers and embarrassed on the big screen, Mu Ming couldn't help but think of the god-level movie "Thai Embarrassment" that gained more than one billion box office with tens of millions of investments, broke the box office record of Chinese films, and marked the rise of the Chinese film market.
Do you want to get this movie out in advance? As soon as this idea came up, Mu Ming herself immediately vetoed it.
Objectively speaking, the story of "Thai Embarrassment" itself is really ordinary, and it is a standard road movie. Whether it is the development of the plot or the arrangement of jokes and conflicts, it is the most standard configuration of road movies.
What really makes this film interesting is the characters. Or to put it bluntly, it was the sparks between the "iron triangle" of Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo that made the whole film "live". Even if the original film is reproduced, any of these three actors is indispensable, not even a replacement.
These characteristics also show that even if Mu Ming writes the script, no film and television company will accept it. After all, thousands of scripts are moldy in the warehouses of major companies every year, let alone such a seemingly featureless story.
Of course, if Mu Ming has money, she can make the movie at her own expense. But let's not mention the issue of actors, the establishment of the crew, the editing and production of the film, the production and distribution of the film, the promotion of the entire film, and the scheduling of the theater chain, these are all issues that have to be considered.
Mu Ming shook her head, although she knew that the future potential of the film and television industry was huge, but she had no choice but to know too little about film and television production, and she had no chance of entering, even if she had countless good works in her head, it was useless.
I should still write a few best-selling novels first according to the initial plan, accumulate popularity and seize the popular IP in the future. Then look for an opportunity to study in this industry for two or three years, and wait until you have contacts and understanding, and then slowly take out the works in your mind.
And there's no need to take all the resources into your own hands. Just like "Thai Embarrassment", if there is an opportunity, it is also good to invest in it yourself. In his previous life, Xu Zheng ran for a long time before the project was successfully established by the light. I guess if I want to enter the market, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"Poof-" Mu Ming covered her mouth and stole fun, oops, this little plan, this genius came up with it, it's really beautiful, it's beautiful.
Gao Yubing looked at Mu Ming, who was so happy, that he wanted to see a foolish expression next to him, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, I admit that this movie is quite funny." But we've all been out for a long time, can you stop being so happy like a chrysanthemum. ”
"It's like a chrysanthemum, that's Uncle Yu. Mu Ming complained back, and then whispered to Gao Yubing angrily: "Hey, old Gao." How about you say I volunteer to fill in a Beiying or Nortel?"
Gao Yubing looked dazed, and said confusedly: "Aren't Beiying and Nortel the same school?"
"Is that so?" Mu Ming scratched her hair suspiciously, and then waved her hand nonchalantly: "Then it's a play, don't care about these details." ”
Gao Yubing squinted at Mu Ming: "You want to be an actor, what are you playing? Zhu Bajie? Journey to the West is going to be remade again?"
"Journey to the West, your uncle. Mu Ming said angrily: "I've lost a lot of weight recently, okay." And I didn't say being an actor, I meant something like a director, what do you think? ”
"See for yourself. They're all adults, don't ask me for advice on life. Gao Yubing smiled and repeated what Mu Ming had said two days ago. However, seeing that Mu Ming had a tendency to copy the stick, he hurriedly said seriously: "I think it's good." Aren't you writing novels, and you won't even have to look for a script when the time comes. However, if you really want to apply for the exam, you still have to pass next year's art exam. ”
"Ah, you also have to take an art exam for the director major?" Mu Ming was a little dumbfounded.
"Nonsense! Art majors don't need art exams?" Gao Yubing said mockingly.
"I still have to take an art exam. Mu Ming had a bitter face, he had always thought that only art, music, and performance needed art exams, and he really had never considered this aspect of the problem.
"Hey!" Mu Ming sighed: "I died before my ideal began." ”
Gao Yubing patted Mu Ming's shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll get used to it." ”
“…… Hey, the last time you were beaten, it was because you talked like that. ”
Two people eat while fancy diss each other. Boys' friendships are always more joyful.
After eating, it was natural to go back to their respective homes. It's almost July, and the temperature has gradually warmed up, especially at noon, the two of them are not in the mood to play outside, and it is serious to go home and blow the air conditioner.
Not long after leaving, the mobile phone rang. Mu Ming picked up her mobile phone, a strange call, it might be a publishing company. Mu Ming cleared her throat and answered the phone.
"Hey, hello. Mu Ming said in a clear voice.
"Hello. Excuse me, is it Mr. Mu Ming?" The voice on the other side of the mobile phone came, Mu Ming was slightly surprised, it was a rare female voice.
After a pause, Mu Ming said, "I'm Mu Ming." ”
"Hello Mr. Mu Ming. After confirming Mu Ming's identity, the voice on the other side suddenly raised a scale: "We are the Glorious Glory Publishing Company." We saw Mr. Mu Ming's "Soul Ferry" on Weibo, and we think it is a very brilliant and best-selling work, so we contact you and hope to cooperate with you. ”
"Glorious years?" Mu Ming blinked and thought for a while, because there have always been calls from various publishing companies recently, so Mu Ming also learned about some of the more well-known publishing companies in China, but obviously there is no such "glorious year".
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about the publishing industry, I don't know which publishing group you belong to, or, what are your operating projects?" After the restrictions on the cultural industry were lifted, many large publishing groups set up their own publishing companies in order to cooperate with their publishing houses and occupy the market.
"We are a newly established publishing company affiliated to Dongshan Publishing Group, and we have no operating projects because we are still in the market inspection period for the time being. Perhaps knowing that his qualifications are not very convincing, the female voice on the other side said a little embarrassed.
"That's right. Mu Ming felt a little lost in her heart, and it was a new company: "Thank you for your love for my work." But I'm sorry, I contacted Boji Tianjuan Company a few days ago, and I've already discussed with them......" Mu Ming pulled out the name of Boji Tianjuan and politely refused.
"Have you signed a contract yet?" asked the other side.
"Well, not yet, but some preliminary intentions have been reached. Mu Ming said vaguely. Meow a mi, if Lao Tzu has already signed a contract, why is he still talking so much nonsense with you here.
The other side seemed to be discussing a few words with the people around him, and after three or five seconds, he continued: "Mr. Mu Ming, we are really very sincere about your work. It's not convenient on the phone, I don't know if you have time, can we meet and talk about it in detail?"
"Meet and talk, we are a city?" Mu Ming said with some surprise in her voice.
"No, our company is in Qinan. We've been to Haiwei yesterday though, so we'd love to see you if you have time. ”
"Interviews are fine. The other party's attitude was so sincere, Mu Ming was embarrassed to refuse again. glanced at the hotel he had just passed by, and said to his phone, "Then now." I happen to be near Crowne Plaza Highway, so I'll make an appointment here. You'll be here in a moment, go straight to the hotel café and look for me. ”
"Okay, Mr. Mu Ming, then we'll see you later. ”
