The little girl at the front desk looked at Ning Hao's sitting posture, covered her mouth and smiled, and then asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Ning, you asked Manager Hu to talk about the distribution, it won't be the movie you made, right?"

"Yes, I'm the director and producer of this film, and I'm also an independent investor. Ning Hao nodded and introduced.

"Wow, you're so young, you're amazing!" the little girl exclaimed.

Ning Hao smiled slightly, and took the opportunity to ask: "Your company, like me, how is an independent producer who usually comes to promote his own films?"

The little girl at the front desk didn't think about it, and said directly: "No, very few." There aren't many independent films, and there are so many film companies, like ours, which has just been established, so people only come here occasionally. She continued, "In fact, many times, it is our company that goes to various film festivals to actively look for potential films. Just like the SH International Film Festival not long ago, we bought a few films. ”

After Ning Hao heard this, he nodded slightly, SH International Film Festival is one of the four major film festivals in the mainland, and it can be said to be the most authoritative film festival in China. With the aim of presenting and encouraging diverse artistic creation, it has rapidly improved its professional structure, services, and social influence since its establishment, and has been praised as "the world's fastest-growing international film festival".

Among them, the Asian Newcomer Award gives new directors a chance to show themselves. Every two years, a large number of independent filmmakers will go to the exhibition, and at the same time, major film companies will also go to pan for gold.

These film festivals are also the last chance that Ning Hao set for himself, if he really can't be released in cinemas or videotapes, then he can only go to these film festivals. This means that it is necessary to wait at least a year.

But what Ning Hao lacks most is time.

I was thinking about it, and it was time for an appointment. The little girl at the front desk specially came to remind her, Ning Hao nodded to her and thanked her, and walked into the office corridor.

The whole company is not very large, and there are few people in each office, but each one is very busy and performs its own duties.

Soon Ning Hao came to the office of the purchasing manager, knocked lightly on the door, and heard: "Come in." ”

Ning Hao took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on a chair, in his forties, his hair combed and shiny. was typing something in front of the computer, and when he saw Ning Hao coming in, he put down the work he was doing and got up with a smile: "Mr. Ning, hello!"

"Hello, Manager Hu. Ning Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake him, and said very respectfully, "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity." ”

"Yes, it's my job. Have a seat. Hu Lin motioned for Ning Hao to sit, and then sat down himself, examined Ning Hao, was slightly surprised, and said, "Mr. Ning, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?"

Ning Hao was not surprised at all, he had met many times before, and replied very calmly: "I am eighteen years old this year, and I am really a little young to say. ”

Hu Lin couldn't help but be a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ning Hao to be so young, frowned, and looked at it: "That's really young, an 18-year-old director, I'm still on campus at your age." ”

Ning Hao deliberately snorted, did not answer directly, but turned directly to the movie: "This world is always so colorful, and everyone has a different path. Moreover, I feel that a film speaks by itself, not by the director's gender, age, or even seniority. ”

Hu Lin was a little surprised by Ning Hao's honesty and straightforwardness, and smiled slightly: "Yes, we are not those big companies, we pay attention to seniority, as long as the movie is good enough, everything is not a problem." ”

Ning Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Hu Lin say again: "As you said, everything has the work itself, show me the script first, I hope it's not a waste of my time." ”

Hu Lin touched his beard, looked at Ning Hao and said unceremoniously: "You know, although it is not excluded that special geniuses are not excluded, but in general, they are like your age...... I've never heard of a success story anyway. ”

"Yes, I understand. Ning Hao took out the script from his bag, which was the final and complete content of the movie, and he handed the script to Hu Lin, "Please take a look!"

After Hu Lin took the script, he read it carefully, and after reading it for a while, he nodded slightly: "Reading this script, it can be regarded as professional, and the quality is also excellent." ”

Hu Lin put down the script, stood up, and said to Ning Hao: "Young director, you have changed a test screening opportunity for yourself, come with me." ”

Ning Hao clenched his fists, indicating that the first level had passed, and followed behind Hu Lin expectantly.

Hu Lin came to the door of another office and shouted to several people inside, "Liu Yang, come with me and go to see a movie." ”

I saw a man with a small pigtail who was also in his thirties walking out, and when he saw Ning Hao at the door, he nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said very skillfully: "Let's go, go to the screening room." ”

Ning Hao smiled slightly, and followed behind them.

While walking, Hu Lin said: "Liu Yang is the guy with the most sensitive sense of smell in our company's market, his vision is very picky, and the most profitable movies in our company are from him." I haven't seen it for a few years, and my position as the manager of the film buying department is his. ”

Liu Yang patted Hu Lin: "Old Hu, you can pull it down." ”

Soon the three of them came to the screening room, and Ning Hao handed the copied DVD tape to Hu Lin.

Hu Lin loaded the CD, and the three of them came to the back row and sat down, and watched it together in the screening room.

Hu Lin pressed the play button, and saw an embarrassing scene of Guo Tao not being able to pee in the toilet on the small screen, and then there was a bit of a heavy ** finger examination, and after a trance, the camera turned to a cable car, and Xie Xiaomeng chatted about Jingjing.

The whole picture gives people a rough and inferior feeling, especially the whole picture has some shaking, and some distant scenes are a little blurry. It's like watching a gun version.

"This ......" Hu Lin directly pressed the pause button, looked at Ning Hao, and questioned: "Mr. Ning, are you sure this is a film that can be released? Is it really not a student's final homework?"

Several times before, when he saw this, he was shouted to stop, and Ning Hao suddenly had a bad feeling. However, after a lot of experience, he was also ready to say: "Manager Hu, my movie was indeed shot with DV, and the picture is really a little worse, but this movie itself is a play editing, narrative technique, just like Quentin's "Pulp Fiction", Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoking Guns", believe me, this is a movie, please take some time to watch it." ”

Hu Lin's eyes lit up slightly, he himself was a complete Quentin fan, and then looked at Liu Yang on the side. The latter, nodded thoughtfully, "You know me, I finally got out of that damn office......"

"Okay. Hu Lin nodded and continued to press play.
