Chapter 2 Begin from the beginning

"Master of Light and Shadow", "What is Film", "Time-Image", ......

Whether it is the living room or the bedside, there are books about movies everywhere, Chen Jialuo picked up one and looked at it, but his heart was full of thoughts.

I have to say that the identity of a young director in the Xiangjiang Film New Wave Movement undoubtedly made Chen Jialuo see the goal.

It is undoubtedly an extremely interesting thing to be able to present the classics in your mind through your own hands.

Although this world is a world of different time and space, and many people have undergone earth-shaking changes, the director is his old profession, and after the time-travel, the movies in Chen Jialuo's memory are presented one by one like a camera, which can be observed repeatedly at will, even down to the use of each shot.

Now that the direction of the future has been decided, the first thing Chen Jialuo has to solve now is how to step into the Xiangjiang film circle again.

As one of the directors of the New Wave movement in his own right, this identity can be put to good use. This is Xiangjiang, which is now the largest film and television kingdom in Asia, the Hollywood of the East.

Chen Jialuo's current identity, if he wants to make a comeback, he can't. Thinking about Wang Jing in her previous life, she was already an experienced director at a young age, although it was because of her family history, and her father Wang Tianlin was TSB's ace producer.

For example, Tsui Hark, Tan Jiaming, etc., in the previous life, some representatives of the new wave of film directors were all in charge of the guide at a young age.

Although Chen Jialuo has been silent for two years, although the first movie has been lost and not popular, it has at least been loved by film critics. Yidu Film and Television Company and TSB's interpersonal relationships, etc., are still there, and it's not too late to start over!

Write a script and submit it to a film and television company?

The boring passages in entertainment novels like this have never been in Chen Jialuo's consideration. For a long time, screenwriters have been unpopular in this industry, and the income is not high.

If the so-called screenwriter or ordinary director wants to sign a sharing contract, it will be ridiculous and generous to spread it. Just because an ordinary screenwriter wants to get a share of the box office, should the director get a share? The producer should take a share? The actors should also get a share? Everyone will get a share, what kind of money does the company make?

As for what makes money by writing songs, it's even more unreliable. In the Xiangjiang music scene during this period, to put it mildly, 50% of the singers relied on RB's pop music to make a living. As for those songs that are smash hits and enduring, they account for 70%.

Most of the popular songs are mostly arrangements from RB. Xiangjiang's music company listened to it, bought the copyright, found someone to refill the lyrics, and when it was over, a red song was freshly baked.

And if you are an actor, it is not difficult to say, it is simple, but it is not simple. The most famous TSB artist training class, it may be a day to get ahead after three or five years. However, whether it is sharpening his acting skills, or running relationships to roles, it is not what Chen Jialuo wants to do.

The classic quotations of the previous life, even Leslie Cheung had to stay up for ten years. If you want to get ahead in this entertainment industry, it's not as easy as you imagined. When an actor has no background and can't touch Bole, it is better for people like Stephen Chow to hibernate and run tricks.

For Chen Jialuo at present, it is undoubtedly a fantasy, and it is difficult to climb to the sky.

This is not something that can be done by making a shell company and gathering a group of actors to complete the shooting. The preparation of a film to the shooting and distribution is far from being as simple as imagined.

Boss Lei is rich, powerful and has a theater chain, but he can't play like a star or a filmmaker. What's more, the current Chen Jialuo is just a small director who hits the streets.

"Even the old monster Xu back then can prove himself again, what am I afraid of!"

The original Chen Jialuo was not terrible, but he was young and vigorous, and he was a little unbalanced after the failure of the first work, so he broke the jar and broke it, wasting two years of good time in vain, and perfectly missed the peak of Yidu Film and Television Company.

So start all over again, what could be better than taking the plane that soared into the sky of Yidu Film and Television Company!

In the early 80s of Xiangjiang, the western film market was not good, and many theaters wanted to switch to Chinese films. Boss Lei, who owns many Western film theaters, also hopes that some of his theaters will switch to Chinese films, but unfortunately the Chinese film market at that time was controlled by the old cinema lines Shaw Brothers and Jiashang, and it was not easy to get a piece of the pie.

But Boss Lei still set up a Chinese film theater line, called Lei Zhen Theater Line, to release some independently produced movies, but the strong films were all in the two major companies, and the Lei Zhen Theater Line was called the glass line at that time, that is, it was shaken and dispersed.

During this period, the cinema system was the economic pillar of the Heung Kong film industry, except for Shaw Brothers and Jia Shang, who could produce and sell their own films, other independent production companies could only be "recruited" by the cinema chain and relied on them to provide funds to shoot films.

On the other hand, Lei Zhen Cinemas really can't compete with Shaw Brothers and Jiashang, and it is difficult for it to get a stable source of films.

In the film industry at that time, there were many independent production companies, but there were not many with good results, and only a small company called "Rising" was slightly eye-catching.

Although the company has not set any box office records, and the films it has made have not been blockbusters, it has won in stability and in the strange chicken. The movies "Crazy Boss" and "Salted Fish Reborn" were all between three and four million yuan at the box office, which was not bad at the time and could make money.

Boss Lei asked the "rising" company to join, in addition to appreciating its good production, he preferred its new ideas. In "Salted Fish Reborn", the protagonist vomited until he vomited electricity, and the old battery cell vomited out of his mouth, creating a nonsensical precedent. "Rise" joined Lei Zhen Cinema and changed its name to "Yidu Film and Television Company",

That's what turned the tide of things.

Yidu Film and Television Company was born, and the two old cinema chains that directly fought had to join forces to fight. In just a few years, this golden signboard has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the people of Xiangjiang. But any art produced will inevitably attract countless fans to watch.

Yidu Film and Television Company was founded by Mai Tian, Shi Le and Huang Bai, plus Mu Nan, Xu You, Wen Rentai and Zeng Qiwei, who had brought Chen Jialuo, these four veterans, known as the Seven Giants of Yidu.

Chen Jialuo wants to take charge of the guide tube again, and finding Zeng Qiwei is undoubtedly the best choice. Although Xu You is also a representative of the New Wave film directors, these directors who are called New Wave films themselves have little to do with each other.

"Stay from the beginning, regain the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!"

In Chen Jialuo's bedroom, there is a photo hanging on it, on which is two years ago, the high-spirited Chen Jialuo wore sunglasses and scolded Fang Xuan on the set.
