With the change of identity, Ke Zihua found that the relationship between him and Jerry seemed to be much closer, whether it was from the tone of their speech or their demeanor, it became very natural and casual.
Jerry is no longer as before, deliberately maintaining his polite image at a glance, and even the expressions on his face are much richer, and he will even chat with him without raising his head while casually flipping through Ke Zihua's collection.
He felt that it was only at this time that he really began to understand Jerry, and the other party regarded him as an equal partner.
After looking through the books in the room for a while, Jerry immediately noticed the problem, "Ke, I have to say, you have a collection of almost all the professional books on the market, but what makes me wonder is, why are there no books about producers?" β
After he said this, Ke Zihua also felt that he had forgotten to collect this kind of books, thinking of Jerry's identity as a gold medal producer, maybe only he would care so much, so he explained: "Sorry, Jerry, I didn't expect you to come to my room, so I didn't prepare it for you." β
Jerry gently put down the book in his hand that introduced the camera, then turned his head and asked, "Do you collect these books for others?" β
Hearing his question, Ke Zihua smiled and said about Cage and Julie, "At first, I just studied by myself with my head bored. But then Cage and Julie were bored, so they liked to come to me to read. β
"In order not to be snatched of my books, I had to find time to go to the bookstore and buy some more. Although I mainly read the director's side, I also read a few other books. I also learned a lot. β
Jerry nodded, then asked, "Ke, I've heard Senna say that you want to be a first-class director." β
"But do you know what kind of director is top-notch?"
After thinking about it for a while, Ke Zihua said: "If you want to ask me what a first-class director is, I think I may not answer very well, because I have never directed independently after all. β
"But I want to. If you want to be a good director, you must first have enough professional ability, such as a good understanding of the director, screenwriter, camera, lighting and editing, as well as post-production. β
"Then, you also need to have a certain degree of cultivation and the ability to feel art, so that even if you can't write the screenplay yourself, at least you can read and understand the script, plus you have good eloquence, and you can communicate well with the actors."
Jerry crossed his shoulders and listened with interest. Seeing that Ke Zihua stopped for a moment when he said this, he urged: "Very good, that's right." Is there anything else? β
Ke Zihua laughed, "Jerry, you're testing my recent academic performance, haha." β
made a joke with Jerry, Ke Zihua continued: "A good director must also be good at observing life, loving life, and being able to keenly discover the beauty and ugliness in life, and then integrate them into his own creation." β
"Also. The director must also have a big heart and be able to withstand all the pressure. Otherwise, it will be overwhelmed as soon as the filming starts, and it will be a trick. β
Speaking of which, here. Ke Zihua also had some insights in his heart, he said: "Maybe a qualified and good director, after knowing what he wants to shoot and what he is good at, can make works with his own distinctive characteristics, then he can be regarded as a first-class director, right?" β
"For example, Spielberg, such as Cameron, I think a director like them can be called first-class!"
Jerry nodded, went back to the sofa, and then waved his hand to let Ke Zihua sit down, "Ke, you said it very well, these are all necessary for a good director, I believe that after a period of hard work, you will definitely become such a good director, or even a first-class director." β
Ke Zihua was of course happy to get Jerry's affirmation, but the next sentence from Jerry completely subverted his cognition!
Jerry stretched out two fingers and said in a stern tone: "I just want to say two things, first, you need to know something about Hollywood and the history of Hollywood movies; Second, you can't say that such an idea is wrong, but it seems to me that it is very naΓ―ve, very naΓ―ve! β
Ke Zihua was not mentally prepared for such a change, and looked at Jerry in dismay, not knowing what to say.
He couldn't figure out why Jerry said this, and he didn't know what Jerry's purpose was, but he knew that Jerry would never be untargeted if he could say such a thing, so he asked eagerly: "Jerry, I know that some of my ideas may be taken for granted, can you tell me more about it?" β
Jerry pouted and stared at Ke Zihua for a long time before he said unhurriedly: "Okay, since we are partners now, I have to let you understand something, otherwise you will only fail." β
"Although I would love you to come and help me, it is clear that I have been persuaded by you, and now I think that if you can really rise, it may be the best for me, after all, if you want to survive in the cracks of several giants, you must have some compatible partners."
Ke Zihua knew that what Jerry was going to say below must be the most important thing, so he hurriedly refilled his wine glass with whiskey, and then sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for his teaching.
Jerry was very satisfied with his attitude, and if the young man sitting across from him showed even the slightest hint of disdain and arrogance, he would immediately get up and leave, and then forget about this morning's events completely.
That kind of person is not worthy of his hard work, as long as he finds a way to control it in his own hands and let him make money for himself.
Cooperate?
It was a joke to him!
With his Jerry's name, there are many people who want to work with him!
He no longer has the vision, and he will not choose an arrogant, self-righteous newcomer to be his partner, which can only allow him to smash the brand that has been erected for many years.
Taking a sip of whiskey, Jerry looked at Ke Zihua again, and then said leisurely: "Hollywood, this word may be both mysterious and sacred in the eyes of many people. β
"But, in my eyes, it's just a huge factory, and the products it produces are all kinds of themes and types of movies."
Hearing this, Ke Zihua felt that although Jerry's words were a bit extreme, he also pointed out the commerciality of Hollywood, in fact, it is indeed like a huge factory, constantly producing countless film and television works every year.
But the next moment, Jerry's words completely stabbed Ke Zihua, and Jerry continued: "Here, what kind of bullshit art is the most secondary!" β
"Only money is king!"
"If we want to produce products at a good price, we must take the initiative to cater to this market and build this huge production line in accordance with a set of formal processes."
This makes Ke Zihua incomprehensible, he has been here for more than ten years, although he also knows that Hollywood movies pay attention to commerciality and box office revenue, but he has also seen countless people working hard for art and ideals, and even willing to sacrifice their own qiΔ.
In fact, there are many times, including himself, who will do their best to complete a set of shots, just because they want to pursue the artistic effect of imagination.
Such a declaration of Chi Guoguo completely subverted Ke Zihua's world, and he didn't know why Jerry said this, and he felt very unconvinced.
"Could it be that in his eyes, every qiΔ we do is the most stupid act? So why did he bring me to Hollywood? Is it just because I saw money in my stunts? β
His reaction was all seen by Jerry, he knew that such a fact was cruel to Ke Zihua, but in order for him to see the truth, Jerry had to let him accept such a blow.
"If you stand at my level, then you don't need me to understand it yourself, but now that you have chosen this path, you must accept the cruel reality of shattered dreams in advance."
Thinking to himself, Jerry did the same, he would rather ruin this star of hope now than watch him go astray, he felt that maybe it would be a good thing for this young man to be punctured at the beginning of his dream.
But Ke Zihua's gradually distorted face also made Jerry worried: "Boy, hold on, after this level, your vision will be different, and at that time you are truly qualified to cooperate with me!" (To be continued.) )
