/ Didn't make Jerry wait too long, Ke Zihua gradually returned to normal.

Although Jerry broke some of his views on Hollywood, after careful consideration, Ke Zihua found that Jerry's words were correct in a certain way, so he forced himself to put aside all his thoughts and force himself to continue listening.

Ke Zihua drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, calmed down for a while, and then said to Jerry, "Okay, Jerry, I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense, although it completely subverts my worldview. ”

Jerry smiled and shrugged, "I just want you to be on the same level as me, it may break your dreams, but if you can't fully understand Hollywood, then I advise you to be a director in peace." ”

"Your current idea is to start your own film and television company, and then naively think that you can create a good situation by making a few good films?"

Ke Zihua nodded, he kind of understood what Jerry meant, "Did he feel that his pattern was too small, so he said something to nod himself?" ”

So, he hurriedly asked, "Jerry, what the hell should I do?" ”

Jerry thought for a moment and said, "Ke, I hope you can look down on Hollywood in the future, instead of standing at the bottom and looking up at it!" ”

"How?"

Jerry pointed to a pyramid model on the bookshelf and said, "Hollywood, for example, is a pyramid, and most of the people in it are just the base of the tower, or standing on the waist of the tower. ”

"As the owner of a film and television company, you should put yourself at the top of the tower and then manage your company with the mindset of a master."

Ke Zihua asked puzzledly: "Then what does this have to do with me being a director?" Why should I be a good director, in your opinion, childish? ”

"Do I want to be like you? Wouldn't it be naïve to be a producer? ”

"Haha, you've finally got to the point!"

Hear him ask. Jerry was very happy and continued to explain to him, "Let's go back to the factory. ”

"In this huge factory in Hollywood. For example, actors, cameramen, props, lighting, editing, etc., they are all just workers on the production line. ”

"With workers, of course, there must be a workshop director who manages them, and this workshop director is the director, and the deputy director is the assistant director, or the so-called action director."

As he spoke, he pointed at Ke Zihua and quipped, "Look at it." If your greatest ideal is just to be a first-class workshop director, then how can we talk about cooperation? ”

Ke Zihua didn't like his analogy, and defended: "What about Spielberg, Cameron, and Lucas? Are they just workshop directors? If that's the case, then they're great workshop directors too! ”

Jerry listened to his angry words, and was immediately amused and laughed: "Haha, Ke, your analogy is very good, I have to ask them how it feels to be the workshop director when I have the opportunity." ”

Ke Zihua was a little angry. Yan Sù had to say, "Jerry, this is not funny, isn't that exactly the case?" ”

Jerry was a little annoyed when he saw Ke Zihua. stopped laughing, then pouted and said, "You only saw the identity of their director, but don't you know that in addition to being the director, they are also the boss of the company and the producer of the film?" ”

"In this factory, the producer is the manager who manages the production line, and they are responsible for conveying the boss's intentions to the workshop director, who then organizes the workers to produce qualified products according to his requirements."

"Ke. What I'm talking about above is the producer system in Hollywood. And these people you're talking about. The most fundamental reason why they can make movies according to their own wishes without any scruples is not that they are so-called great directors. But because they are not only producers, but also the owners of film and television companies! ”

It was only at this time that Ke Zihua realized for the first time that his vision was really too small!

His statement also just confirmed some of the gossip Ke Zihua had seen before, many directors said that they didn't get much rights, and even the camera position during filming was set by the producer!

At the same time, he also found answers to what he had experienced in reality.

If that's the case, then John and Senna's helplessness is understandable. They are still some famous directors, but they can't make their ideal movies according to their own ideas.

If it weren't for John and Paul being friends for many years, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the right to hire Ke Zihua, let alone ask him to be an action director, and go all out to support him, and even invite him to participate in editing.

And Senna's experience is even more revealing, he is just working for Jerry, so he will be seized by Ke Zihua, who joined later, and then he has to adjust his mentality and fully cooperate with Ke Zihua to shoot action scenes, otherwise Jerry will be unhappy and let him slap his ass and leave!

Knowing the importance of these words, Ke Zihua sincerely asked Jerry for advice: "Jerry, then you mean that I chose the wrong direction?" Should I be a qualified producer like you? ”

Jerry shook his head, "No, no, no, it's not wrong for you to choose this path, this is exactly the path that Spielberg and the others are taking, and I don't ask you to be a producer now, that's something you should try after you have a certain foundation and connections." ”

"I just hope you can understand, director, it's not a qiē!"

"There's nothing wrong with you pursuing art, that's exactly what we filmmakers should pursue, but you have to have a broad vision, and as a boss, you should point out the direction of future development for your company!"

Ke Zihua shook his head and said, "I still don't understand, of course film and television companies are making movies, what other direction can they be?" ”

Jerry looked at his ignorant expression and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Of course, you have to choose a good direction, and this is a very important thing, what kind of direction you choose will determine how your company will develop in the future!" ”

"For example, what type of movies does your company specialize in? Comedy? Science fiction? Terror? Even action movies are divided into many types, and it is up to you to decide. ”

"For example, do you want to be a pure production company, or do you want to be a company that produces and distributes at the same time?"

Of course, Ke Zihua hopes that his company can develop in an all-round way, but when he thinks of Jerry's identity, he hesitantly asks: "If I say that I want my company to develop in an all-round way, will you still cooperate with me?" ”

Jerry smiled and replied, "Of course! In fact, this is exactly what I want to give you, only the more comprehensive the development, the more you can withstand the wind and waves, and you can go further! ”

Hearing his words, Ke Zihua still asked with some uneasiness: "If that's the case, wouldn't it infringe on your interests?" As I said earlier, I'm going to leave all the distribution to you. ”

From his serious expression, Jerry knew that Ke Zihua was not testing him, but sincerely raised his own questions, so he explained: "That's the case, you may not know much about business cooperation, then I will tell you roughly, I believe you will understand." ”

"You know that my company doesn't only specialize in production or distribution, so even if all your films are handed over to me for distribution, I won't take them all."

"I hope that my company can develop in tandem with each other, rather than simply relying on distribution to make a living, in fact, although the risk of distributing films is much smaller, the profits will be much less."

Ke Zihua nodded thoughtfully, "That's true, if your company is biased towards distribution, it may cause the personnel on the production side to lose quickly." ”

Jerry clapped his hands and praised: "You are right, so I also hope that your company can develop in an all-round way, so that when your company has formed a certain scale, it will really be the beginning of our cooperation." ”

"At that time, whether I choose to invest in your film or choose to distribute it, you can make a profit."

Ke Zihua also suddenly became enlightened, in fact, he is not a businessman, but his previous vision was not enough.

Jerry just made a start, and he knew what the other party meant, so he interjected with a smile: "Well, at the same time, I can also participate in the production of your company, and the most important thing is that our two companies can also exchange resources, which can not only reduce a lot of unnecessary investment, but also invisibly strengthen our competitiveness!" ”

Jerry was also overjoyed by him, laughing and praised, "Haha! Now that I look at you, I have some boss flavor. ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and said happily: "Come on, I respect you, my partner!" ”

Ke Zihua also became in a good mood at this time, smiled and touched his glass, and said sincerely: "I also respect you, my mentor and friend." ”

Jerry's face showed a satisfied smile, he felt that his good intentions were not in vain, of course, he also liked Ke Zihua's praise for him very much.

And Ke Zihua is also really full of respect for him, if it weren't for Jerry's order, he is likely to really go astray, even if he is lucky to get one or two successes, I'm afraid there won't be much development.

He knew that if he had gone according to his previous ideas, let alone conquer Hollywood, even survival might be a problem.

That saying is true, "Height determines the vision, and vision determines the future!" ”

Although he is still far from success now, after this nirvana-like conversation, Ke Zihua is full of confidence in his future!

"Looking down on Hollywood? It's a good feeling. ”

After chatting with him for a while, Jerry offered to say goodbye, Ke Zihua wanted to keep him for lunch, but it happened that Jerry received a call from the company and left the hotel in a hurry. (To be continued.) )""; "
