026 The Great Director's Troubles

Screenwriter and director are two completely different types of work, screenwriting belongs to creation, and director belongs to production and creation.

A good director can often distinguish between good and bad scripts, and recreate the script according to his own style, a good director is half a screenwriter at the same time, or even a screenwriter himself, while a good screenwriter is just a screenwriter.

After a TV series or movie becomes famous, the audience first remembers the actors, then the director, and as for the screenwriter...... Hehe, only when the plot is so bad that it can't bear it anymore that the audience remembers to greet the screenwriter's family.

Screenwriters are wedding dresses for people, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, screenwriters who don't want to be directors are not good screenwriters, many screenwriters often change careers to become directors after opening up a world, among which the most successful ones such as Wang Jing and Wei Jiahui are the most typical cases.

So as soon as Zhang Jinyi proposed to learn from the group director, Zhao Zhenqiang was not surprised, but told him that directing was not good.

"If you really want to be a director, I won't stop you, report to the crew tomorrow, and I will arrange someone to take you, starting from PA, don't complain about it when the time comes." Zhao Zhenqiang took the vaccination in advance.

PA is also the assistant choreographer, which is the weakened version of the director, and it is also the busiest and most statusless profession in the whole crew.

Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Qiang!" ”

Zhao Zhenqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, why do you bother to abuse, Xiaobao started as a screenwriter as a director and producer, you can take his route." ”

Zhang Jin didn't know that it was difficult to be a director, but he had no choice, who let the eldest brother poke the basket, he must be as familiar with all aspects of a movie shooting as possible before the eldest brother returns to Hong Kong, only in this way can he control the overall situation.

Well, that's right, he actually wants to be an executive producer.

With his own affairs settled, Zhang Jin began to attack Chen Shaohua's interview with the group.

After talking about the specific plan of cooperation and publicity, Zhang Jin was a little nervous, after all, he just helped Zhao Zhenqiang make a script, but Brother Qiang guaranteed it, gave welfare red envelopes, and promised to cross the bank PA, and now put forward the request, it is a bit ......

Who knew that Zhao Zhenqiang agreed very happily, but when he looked at Zhang Jin again, there was more intriguing in his eyes.

"Ah King, to be honest, what are your plans for the future?"

"What else, learn more things while you're young, and then go out to brush up your prestige when you have enough experience, get a few awards or something, and when you're old, you will have the capital to brag to your juniors."

"It's not a small ambition!" Zhao Zhenqiang smiled, yes, in addition to being able to support his family, he also cares about that reputation.

After getting into the taxi, Zhao Zhenqiang changed the topic, "Tonight, Xiaobao's friends from the film industry also came to cheer, they are all big shots, take you out for a long time, just listen to it when the time comes, and talk less, do you know." ”

"I understand the rules, but the big man ......" Zhang Jin groaned slightly, and immediately said: "There won't be Du Qifeng, right?" ”

Zhao Zhenqiang looked at Zhang Jin in surprise, "Hey, how did you guess?" ”

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "You just gave a hint, Bao Ye doesn't have many friends in the film industry, and after thinking about it, there seems to be only one Du Qifeng, and the "Eight Star Annunciation" directed by him this year has a score of more than 37 million, which is worthy of the title of a big man." ”

"Awesome!" Zhao Zhenqiang said with admiration: "With so few hints, you can analyze the correct answer, your brain is really amazing!" ”

Zhang Jin smiled back and didn't explain, but circled the names of Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui in his mind, and then thought of the Galaxy Image, which was established eight years later.

"The two of them are here, I don't know when that You Dazhi will return to his position."

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a tea restaurant near the Central Academy, and under the guidance of Zhao Zhenqiang, Zhang Jin finally met the legendary big names: Du Qifeng, Chen Jiashang, and someone Zhang Jin didn't know.

Du Qifeng sat in the middle of the booth, Wei Jiahui and Chen Jiashang were divided into his left and right, and the person Zhang Jin didn't know sat next to Chen Jiashang.

Wei Jiahui leaned back in the chair, took a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Qiang Zai, you are late, punish a glass of wine first." ”

Zhao Zhenqiang took off his coat and poured a glass of beer, "Xiaobao, you did it on purpose, knowing that I didn't close my eyes for two days and three nights, and you came to squeeze me." ”

Wei Jiahui said with a smile: "We used to drink like this, and it makes sense for you to come late." ”

Zhao Zhenqiang finished drinking, asked the waiter to add another chair and tableware, arranged for Zhang Jin to sit down, and said: "Let me introduce first, this posterior is Zhang Jin, the screenwriter who just signed a contract today." ”

"This is Brother Du Qifeng, the great director of the New Art City."

"This is Brother Feng's partner Chen Jia Shangjia, a screenwriter in the film studio."

"This is Brother Feng's apprentice - You Dazhi, who is currently working as an editor in the Xiaobao group."

"Brother Feng, Brother Jia, Brother Zhi." Zhang Jin greeted with a smile, and secretly said in his heart, okay, just now he muttered about the Galaxy Iron Triangle, but he didn't expect to be there today.

Of the three opponents, Zhang Jin could recognize Du Qifeng and Chen Jiashang at a glance, while You Dazhi only had the other party's information and had never seen his photos.

Du Qifeng said with a smile: "Jinzai, Xiaobao introduced him just now, but I didn't expect TVB to emerge a rookie screenwriter after Xiaobao and Ah Zhi." ”

After everyone sat down, they began to drink, first congratulating Zhao Zhenqiang on the ratings of Changhong, and then chatting a few words about TVB's current factional disputes.

After a few glasses of wine, Du Qifeng hesitated and said, "I just took on a new film......"

Wei Jiahui put down the wine glass, "Just say why don't you invite you to come again, it turns out that you want to catch coolies again." ”

Du Qifeng grinned and said: "No way, you know that I like to shoot police and bandit shootout movies the most, but Xinyicheng is only willing to invest in commercial comedies, Boss Huang knows my mood, so he has been helping me keep an eye on it, and it just so happened that after the film studio was going to prepare an experimental work, he recommended me to be a director." ”

"You all know that guy Xu Lao Wei, it's so hard to work for him, Jia Zai and I have been betting on the script for the past few days, but the script has been published more than a dozen drafts, and they have all been denied by Xu Lao Wei, hey!"

After Du Qifeng finished speaking, he poured down a glass of bitter wine, and looked at Wei Jiahui, Zhao Zhenqiang, You Dazhi and others.

Several people were silent, because Xu Laowei's aura was too strong, and he didn't even recruit the 30 million director Du Qifeng, and the chief screenwriter of the film studio, Chen Jiashang, was helpless, what good ideas did Wei Jiahui have for a few people who were still mixing in the TV station?

What's more, movies and TV scripts are completely two concepts, sad!

Only Zhang Jin, who has been playing soy sauce, combined with the few words Du Qifeng just said, a movie popped up in his mind: "Big Operation", also known as "City Special Police".
