Chapter 970: Blocked Interview ()
The 'Dream Director Project' didn't do much publicity, after all, the film industry is not big or small.
But as long as there is something going on in this circle, basically within a few days, everyone will know.
Therefore, Oriental DreamWorks just made an announcement, and then released the relevant details of the 'Dream Director Program' to its official website without any major actions.
For this plan, Yang Ming's idea is to do something tangible for the local film industry in a down-to-earth manner, rather than putting on a show and making a cutscene.
Those who care will care, and those who don't care, even if they put the advertisement in front of him, people will not look at it.
However, the directors in the entertainment industry who are struggling and waiting for the opportunity are enthusiastically discussing this issue, and some people who already have ideas in their hearts have logged on to the website of Oriental DreamWorks, and after reading the detailed support rules, they immediately sent their scripts to the mailbox of Oriental DreamWorks according to the published contact information, or mailed it according to the address.
The media are more interested than those who are looking for opportunities to get ahead.
"Transformers" broke global box office records.
The all-star extravagant cast of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms".
The song "East Wind Breaking" clarifies the definition of Chinese style.
All news related to Yang Ming is basically an extremely hot topic, which is worth writing about, and then when the popularity of these topics has not declined, Yang Ming exposed the news of the 'Dream Director Support Program'.
If it weren't for Yang Ming's lack of love for interviews, it is estimated that those media reporters would want to regard Yang Ming as the cutest person.
Even so, these media reporters still want to get some news and revelations from Yang Ming.
When Yang Ming went to visit the old dean of the college, he was finally blocked by those media reporters at the entrance of the college.
Seeing these crazy reporters, he didn't want to be too ruthless during the Chinese New Year, so he got out of the car, dealt with these reporters, and accepted some questions.
"Is Oriental DreamWorks launching this 'Dream Director Support Program' for the purpose of revitalizing the local film industry?"
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean? Revitalize local films? When will our local films need to be revitalized? As a global film industry, do you think we need to revitalize? As for our company's launch of this support plan, it can give young people in the film industry one more opportunity to choose, and it can also add fresh blood to the company, so that our thinking will not be rigid. ”
"Why don't North Korean and Japanese directors be included in the support plan?"
"First of all, Oriental DreamWorks' film market is mainly in China, so the objects we support are mainly Chinese directors, as for North Korea and Japan, I believe that the other party's film industry must have their plans, and we Oriental DreamWorks, as a commercial film company, can't make decisions for others. ”
"The support plan announced by your company has a budget of 50 million in the first year, but the rules say that if it is a good script, there is no cap on the investment funds, is your company's statement a bit contradictory?"
"Hehe, Oriental DreamWorks has just been established for less than four years, the first year we took out 50 million to implement this plan, it is after detailed consideration, will not affect the company's normal development under the premise of the decision, our company has not been established for a long time, and can not withstand a big toss; ”
Yang Ming answered many reporters' questions at the gate of Yenching Film Academy, and was able to get out, but there was no way, these reporters finally caught him once and didn't let him go at all.
Who told him that he usually doesn't accept any interviews with media reporters, and unlike other celebrities who brush up on the media, the most important thing is that he himself is the focus of the entertainment industry, and the entertainment media is inseparable from the news topics about Yang Ming himself.
Therefore, even if these reporters are unhappy, they still have to report news topics about Yang Ming.
This time it was hard to block Yang Ming, and the reporters naturally would not give up this opportunity and ask all the accumulated questions, although they did not get all the answers and questions, but at least the news revealed by Yang Ming was worth writing a lot of news for them.
When Yang Ming arrived at the old dean's side, the old lady immediately smiled and asked him when the crew of "Red Cliff" would start filming, and she couldn't wait.
This time, the old lady asked for the role of Wu Guotai from Yang Ming.
Although the role is not heavy, as Sun Quan's mother, she only appeared once or twice, but she still had a certain influence on Sun Quan's decision to fight Cao Cao with Liu Bei.
And in history, Wu Guoguotai's status is indeed quite important, played by an old lady who once won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress, which is also very in line with the image of the old lady.
"That director support program you got is good. After seeing Yang Ming, the old dean nodded, and praised the company's 'Dream Director Support Program' as soon as he opened his mouth.
He is a person who has come from the past and knows what a new director needs most, not what blockbuster production, what qualifications he has, what experience he has in which crew, but there is a film that allows the director to practice and be familiar with every detail and step of film shooting.
This is crucial for newcomers.
From beginning to end, shooting a movie in person, no matter how small the cost is, is much better than doing chores in a large crew.
Yang Ming said a few words modestly, and then directly said his intention: "Dean, I also want to make a support plan on campus, the scale may be a little smaller, what do you think?"
Immediately, he briefly told the old dean what he thought.
When the old dean heard Yang Ming's words, he stared at his student in surprise: "Do you have too much money and no place to spend it?"
To be honest, he was moved when he heard this plan, and he didn't doubt Yang Ming's intentions, the old dean still knew Yang Ming's character very well, but he didn't understand why Yang Ming wanted to do such a thankless job.
Is it really like the revitalization of local films as the media said?
It seems unlikely.
"It's not for the sake of the company's future. Yang Ming sighed, did not hide his intentions, and told the old dean the purpose of implementing this plan.
After hearing Yang Ming's thoughts, the old dean thought about it seriously and agreed to Yang Ming's plan, after all, this is a win-win situation for both parties.
In the end, after leaving Yang Ming for dinner, the old dean remembered something and said to Yang Ming: "I almost forgot, at next year's College Student Film Festival, you will speak on stage as a representative of our college." ”
"Well, isn't there anyone else in our academy?" Yang Ming asked a little puzzled.
He really doesn't want this kind of showy thing, if he was put in his previous life, it would be too late for him to rejoice, but in this life he even refused Cannes, the College Student Film Festival, he really doesn't care.
――――
I really want to have 10,000 words today, but I got off work late and stayed up until now, so sleepy.
When I go to work during the day tomorrow, I will try to spare as much time as possible to code words, and strive to break out tomorrow with 10,000 words.
Please forgive me when I see a message from a book friend, after all, office workers break out and have to stay up late, but if you promise it, it will definitely be realized.
Tomorrow will continue to erupt, 8,000 guarantees, and strive for 10,000 words.
