Chapter 17: The Invitation of the Magic Lantern Film and Television
The next day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Icelandic coffee shop.
This coffee shop is exactly where I agreed with Magic Lantern Film and Television yesterday.
According to the news passed by the old cat yesterday,The performance of "My name is papi sauce" at the Qixi Festival has successfully attracted the attention of the high-level of the magic lantern,The meaning of the magic lantern film and television is that I hope to suck Xiao Qing and Doudou into the magic lantern TV together,Make an appointment to talk about the contract todayγ
Xiao Qinghe sat on one side, and opposite sat a young man in a suit and leather shoes, who was the representative of Magic Lantern Film and Television this time, and also the Minister of Personnel of Magic Lantern Film and Television, Feng Lu.
"You're a demon? Hmm~~ I really didn't expect you to be so young. Feng Lu looked at Xiao Qing, who was young and a little too much in casual clothes, and sighed again and again.
Xiao said lightly: "I didn't expect Manager Fenglu to be so extraordinary, I thought that all capitalists were the image of a big belly." β
This is not all polite words, because the Fenglu in front of him has a big back, and the suit and leather shoes he is wearing, a smell of social elite is about to come out, which really makes Xiao Qing feel a little surprised.
"Where, where, it's over." Feng Lu waved his hand again and again.
"It's Minister Fenglu who is humble, and among your peers, you can definitely be called young and promising...... Xiao Qing added.
Several employees who came to negotiate the contract with Fenglu saw the sore conversation between the two, and they all pouted quietly, feeling that these two people were too hypocritical.
The two didn't think there was anything strange, and they kept greeting each other without pain.
Each other is waiting for the other party to talk about the contract, negotiate and negotiate, and many times it is to see who can't hold their breath first.
"Senior, aren't we here to negotiate a contract?" In the end, Xiao Qing's side couldn't stand the two of them, and reminded at the beginning.
Fenglu showed a faint smile and said, "Thanks to the reminder of the Doudou girl, Demon Lord, let's talk about the contract!" β
"Minister Fenglu just calls me Xiao Qing." Xiao said lightly.
Of course, Fenglu would not directly call Xiao Qing's real name, but said in a polite tone: "I'll just call you Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, the magic lantern means that I want to suck you and Miss Doudou into the headquarters to cultivate, this is the contract we offered, you might as well take a closer look first......"
"Okay."
Xiao Qing took the two contracts handed over by Fenglu, one for himself and one for Doudou, looking at it seriously.
Xiao Qing is not very clear about some of the things that are very clear, but he just roughly browsed it.
Xiao Qing felt the sincerity of Magic Lantern Film and Television from the contract, this contract is very real, and the benefits of promotion and publicity proposed by Magic Lantern Film and Television are very helpful to Xiao Qing's future development, and there is also an article on the insurance of the crew, which will greatly reduce the risk of film investment in the future.
Time passes bit by bit, quiet coffee shop, pure music in jazz style.
"The magic lantern film and television has a deep heritage, and the conditions of this contract are very generous, but it is just ......"
Ten minutes later, Xiao Qing raised his head and looked at Fenglu, pointed to the contract, and said, "It's strange, why do you want to give me such a small self-media director with such a lucrative contract as Magic Lantern?" Don't tell me just because the self-media program "My name is papi sauce" is very popular, the cash cow business of Magic Lantern Film and Television is a film and television drama, and the self-media is only a problem business, or it is a star business, but it is still far from the film and television drama that is the cash cow business, no matter how popular the papi sauce is, can it be worth the film and television drama? β
After listening to Xiao Qing's words, Fenglu's expression changed a little, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such a deep understanding, straightened his body, and said, "Indeed! As Mr. Xiao said himself, after all, papi sauce is just a self-media entertainment program, and no matter how popular it is, it is impossible to attract the attention of Magic Lantern Film and Television. β
"What does the magic lamp mean?" Xiao asked lightly.
"In fact, what really attracts Magic Lantern Film and Television is not "My Name is Papi Sauce", but the "Fairy Tale" MV, or more precisely, it is a series of bold shooting techniques and the construction of some classic shots you use in the "Fairy Tale" MV, which is very bold and novel, with academic style but not limited, the senior management thinks that you are very talented in directing, and Magic Lantern Film and Television is now in urgent need of cultivating talents like you." Fenglu explained.
"Cultivate? Urgent need? β
Xiao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, grasped the flavor of Fenglu's words, scrutinized it carefully, and asked, "The magic lamp has encountered a problem?" β
Feng Lu was a little surprised, glanced at Xiao Qing seriously, for the first time felt that he had underestimated the young man in front of him, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip gently, and asked without answering: "Do you know the Youth Guide Competition?" β
"Young Directors Competition." Xiao said lightly.
Xiao Qing naturally knows about the Youth Director Competition, not only Xiao Qing, but all the directors in the younger generation probably no one knows about the Youth Director Competition.
The Youth Director Competition, the full name of the Young Director Competition, is currently the most authoritative and formal director rating competition in the entire Xia Kingdom, which is officially held every four years, and only the directors who stand out from the Youth Director Competition will be officially recognized by the public as a new generation of directors.
At present, the directors who are familiar to Xia Guo, such as the niche director [White Horse Tanhua] Feng Ju, the popular director [Tsing Yi Hua Dan] Shen Mengchi, the star-level director [Bald Eye] Shi Nanshan, [Southern Chu Overlord] Jiang Qingyang, etc., these famous directors are all from the youth director competition of their respective generations, and they are officially certified new generation directors, and they are considered orthodox by the media.
On the contrary, for example, [Don't Laugh at Leng Wang] Feng Yubing, [Nanzhou Genius] Sun Qingfan, etc., although they have also directed several influential films, and they also have a certain market appeal in the Xia Guo film market, but they are not recognized by the media, and they are considered to be wild fox Zen, which is not orthodox.
Different from Xiao Qing's original world, the current world has a clear division of directors into ranks, clear layers, fair and just, and the Young Director Competition is equivalent to the entry threshold in the field of directors.
Because of this, every session of the Youth Director Competition is a bloody battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this directly determines the future of a young director. But fortunately, the official regulations stipulate that everyone can participate at most three times, that is, twelve years, if the three times can not be officially certified, it can only be yesterday's yellow flower, regrettable ending.
"Does the magic lantern mean that you want me to participate in the Youth Guide Competition?" Xiao Qing asked tentatively.
"That's right!"
Fenglu did not shy away from it, anyway, the words were already bright, and if he hid it again, he would look childish, so he said directly: "Mr. Xiao should know the three giants of South China in the film and television field, right?" In the film and television field in the entire South China, the three giants of Magic Lantern Film and Television, Light and Shadow Entertainment, and Luna Media coexist, and every year they deliver a box office of 100 million yuan to the entire Xia Country region. β
Xiao looked at Fenglu quietly, waiting for the following.
"The Youth Director Competition certifies new directors of various eras every four years, but the record of the last competition four years ago was broken by two people, who refreshed the youngest generation of directors from 80 to 90 years, which means that the youngest generation of the Youth Director Competition certification is now 90 years."
After a pause, Feng Lu continued: "As for these two people, they have become the first batch of post-90s new generation directors to obtain official certification, one is the 91-year-old [Little Overlord] Su Yu, and the other is the 92-year-old [Jiangnan Qinnu] Bai Qianqian. It's a pity that after these two people were officially sealed, Su Yu was included in the command of Light and Shadow Entertainment, and Bai Qianqian was thrown into the arms of Luna Media, and the three giants in South China only left Magic Lantern Film and Television There is no post-90s certified director, although Magic Lantern has a large number of certified directors in the 80s and 70s, and even several star-level directors, but this cannot make up for the gap in the new generation of directors in the 90s. β
"So Magic Lantern Film and Television decided to cultivate it on its own?" Xiao Qing said casually.
"Yes!"
Feng Lu glanced at Xiao Qing appreciatively, and said without hesitation: "Actually, there are five people who have received this contract, and you are the fifth." β
"In other words, Magic Lantern decided to cultivate five post-90s directors, including me, to impact the new generation of post-90s directors in this year's Youth Director Competition." Xiao Qing added after Feng Lu's words.
"Haha, it's comfortable to talk to smart people." Feng Lu smiled, "How about Mr. Xiao, tell me your wishes?" β
Speaking of which, Xiao Qing already has a framework in his heart for the ins and outs of the matter.
The contract of Magic Lantern Film and Television is indeed very rich, and there is also financial support, which is very suitable for me today.
What's more, since he wants to embark on the path of directing, he must participate in the Youth Director Competition and get official certification.
However, Xiao Qing did not rush to make a decision, but turned his head to look at Doudou on the side and asked, "Doudou, what do you think?" β
"Senior, I don't agree!" Doudou's unexpectedly serious expression.
