Chapter 1016: Topic
Yang Ming asked Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun if the two major actors, Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun, also set up studios, and did not have much expectations.
Sure enough, hearing Yang Ming's words, both of them laughed, shook their hands and rejected Yang Ming's suggestion, looking like they refused to get on Yang Ming's thief ship.
He was also prepared for this answer, and did not say anything more.
The reason why there is a company unique to the entertainment industry, such as a star studio, is that the most fundamental purpose is to strive for the greatest interests of superstar artists themselves, and at the same time push their careers to the peak.
But all this is no longer needed for the two predecessors of Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun.
In the film industry, not to mention film companies, no one in those giants dares to snub these two actors, let alone suffer losses in cooperation.
As for fame.
They are close to the sixtieth birthday, and the false name of the entertainment industry has long been dispensable for them.
The matter that Wu Dong was concerned about was satisfactorily resolved, and the subsequent chatting topics of several people focused more on the discussion of the theme of the movie.
The dispute between commercial films and art films will never go away.
In this regard, Yang Ming listens a lot and talks little, or his personal tendency is the most obvious.
Since his debut in the film industry, all the movies he has shot are commercial films, but several superstars have not criticized this, on the contrary, they can understand Yang Ming's approach.
Not every rookie director will have such ungodly luck as Yang Ming.
Nowadays, the film industry is becoming more and more difficult to mix, especially for newcomers, it is a nightmare, and it is basically impossible to get the opportunity to direct the microphone alone as soon as you leave school.
In this case, it would be stupid for a new director to insist on starving for the sake of the so-called ideal.
If you want to eat well, you must first eat enough!
When talking about the difficulty of a new director, Yang Ming suddenly came to his senses and told Oriental DreamWorks about his dream director plan to support new directors.
This plan was immediately praised by Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun and several others.
Compared with Yang Chaowei, Niu Hua and Wu Dong, these two veteran actors are now thinking more about how to make Chinese films more prosperous and recreate the glory of 30 years ago.
Previously, although Yang Ming arranged for the company to hold a press conference and achieved a certain influence in the entertainment industry, it was not worth mentioning for bigwigs like Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun who have huge influence in the film industry.
The Chinese film industry itself is not without plans to support new directors, but they put more energy on the official side.
As for the support programs of private companies, they basically don't pay attention.
Now that Yang Ming has told his plan, the two veteran actors have a shock in their hearts, this is not a small deal!
The annual investment is not less than 50 million Chinese yuan, and if you come across a good script, there is no upper limit on the investment.
This kind of hand-written support plan is no less than the official support plan of the Film Association, and the official support plan for new directors has always been a situation of more monks and less porridge, which also leads to some well-known unspoken rules.
An unknown rookie director, if he and a rookie director with a certain network of connections, jointly apply for the support plan, then the final result is definitely that the newcomer with connections wins.
As for the reason, everyone understands.
Who doesn't have some juniors to take care of?
"Hehe, the so-called support plan of the Film Association and the Directors Association is basically for the second and third generations of their respective film children. Yang Ming said with a disdainful sneer.
Hearing his words, several people present smiled wryly, and they were naturally no strangers to these crooked ways in the film industry.
Yang Ming did not continue to say sarcastic words about the two major organizations, some things are not something he can change now, so his words changed, and said to Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun: "Two teachers, our Oriental DreamWorks is a private company, so I will not say that my company's dream director plan has a lofty purpose and ideals, the company proposed this plan, the purpose is to find fresh blood for the company under the condition of ensuring that the loss is not much, and in the process to be able to tap some potential worthy of training, it is enough!" ”
Therefore, in order to ensure that the interests of the company are not damaged, all the selection rules and regulations, there is no human affection to talk about, and everything depends on strength. ”
"It would be great if we could have two teachers in our company to check the review of our scripts. ”
In the end, Yang Ming finally said his purpose, that is, he wanted to invite Bao Guoan and Sun Yanjun to serve as judges of the Dream Director Project, and with the professional knowledge of the two of them, to be a judge, and to review whether a script is worth filming, there is basically no problem.
"You kid finally showed the fox's tail! It seems that if you don't fool me and Lao Sun into your thief ship today, you will definitely not give up." Bao Guoan pointed at Yang Ming and said with a smile, and at this time he looked at Sun Yanjun with inquiring eyes.
Except for himself, no one else here knew that before he took over the filming of Yang Ming's Three Kingdoms movie, he received a call from the old dean.
Strictly speaking, Bao Guoan can also be regarded as an actor from the faction of Yenching Film Academy, but he was born in the wild, and then became famous, and took the initiative to go to Yenching Film Academy to return for another year, although he did not have a graduation certificate from Yenching Film Academy, but he never denied that he was a person from Yenching Film Academy.
Sun Yanjun couldn't help but be happy when he saw Bao Guoan's eyes, and said, "You old guy, it is estimated that Old Man Li must have called you again and asked you to take care of the children of their academy!"
After finishing speaking, he also shook his head in a helpless manner.
He came out of Jinling Film Academy, and he is naturally not interested in Yenching Film Academy, but I have to say that the plan proposed by Yang Ming still makes him a little excited, if not for anything else, even for the director students who come out of his academy every year, he also has to think about it carefully.
As old men in the film industry, no one knows more about the cruelty of the director's circle than a few of them.
Even, the director is more bloody and cruel than the competition between actors.
For famous directors, the failure of two films in a row may lead to a collapse, and this is especially true for new directors.
And the film investors don't believe in the strength of new directors.
Sun Yanjun touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then asked Yang Ming: "If I fancy a script that doesn't have any commercial elements, what should I do at this time?"
Hearing this, Bao Guoan was stunned, and also looked at Yang Ming, waiting for his answer.
If the two of them really decide to join the support program of Oriental DreamWorks, this problem is unavoidable, and it will basically happen.
They like a script, but the script is not destined to make a profit at the box office, how to choose?
In fact, this kind of dispute does not talk about Oriental DreamWorks, but also exists more or less in various film companies.
