Chapter 52: Passerby A
The Director's Office of Beijing Film Studio "Jiang Yelin, Yelin Culture, Media and Entertainment Investment Co., Ltd.? Is it new? I haven't heard of this company before, Boss Jiang is young and promising, and the future is terrifying, please sit down! “
With a haha attitude, it is Lao Cheng, the director of Beijing Film Studio, who is enthusiastic, the burden of reform is very heavy, and the wealth left over from the history of Beijing Film Studio is also heavy, no, Lao Cheng, who was airborne from the magic capital to Beijing Film Studio, has gray hair on his temples.
"Director Cheng, I've heard the name for a long time, and now I see a real person, my heart is beating fast and excited, wait for me to help give me an autograph!"
Jiang Yelin's attitude was very respectful, but his language was humorous, but he quickly narrowed the distance between the two. "Fifteen minutes, just fifteen minutes, the girl next to you is called quiet, isn't it, although she is young, she has a lot of energy, and she asked my secretary to move such an opportunity to meet on the schedule......
Let's avoid being polite and hypocritical, let's talk about it bluntly, where did Boss Jiang come from today? “
Lao Cheng, who had engaged in underground work before the founding of the People's Republic of China, was 60 years old, if it weren't for the organization's worries, this would not have traveled thousands of miles from the magic capital to the capital 3 years ago to come to the deep water of the Beijing Film Studio......
The roots of the imperial city are all masters! "Hey, Director Cheng, I'm not the boss's agent today, I'm just a cameo boss's assistant, and the boss will talk about everything today!"
Quietly hurriedly cleared herself, joking, and lined up to see the director of Beijing Film Studio to discuss the project and seek cooperation.
Don't even think about it, I stuffed two Zhongnanhai for the secretary to get fifteen minutes of meeting time. "Since Director Cheng is so straightforward, I don't play false, I heard that your director is preparing to shoot a new movie "The Big Horn", what am I, Mao Sui recommended himself and hoped to play the role of the male number one......
can also be regarded as fulfilling the wish of loving film and television literature and art since childhood, can Director Cheng fulfill one or two? “
Jiang Yelin smiled and took out the cigarette, Lao Cheng waved his hand and said, "The old tracheitis is better, it is better to smoke less!" Boss Jiang, movie casting is the director's power, you won't know it, you are in the wrong place to find me, the director! "Hehe, factory director, let's not play false, I naturally find a way to get things done over there by Xiamen Dao, I came today, mainly because I heard that the factory refused to set up the project "Big Horn", I want to ask what the reason is, is there any room for recovery?"
Jiang Yelin put away the panda brand cigarettes, the reason why he came to the leader first instead of the director was the idea given by the agent quietly, if the film is not officially approved by Beijing Film Studio, no matter how good the director agrees, it will be in vain.
When encountering irresponsible, kick the ball directly and say that you go to the factory, and the factory has the final say.
Of course, the factory leaders have the final say, but the leaders will never interfere with the creative freedom of the directors and screenwriters.
Whether the box office can be guaranteed, whether the budget can be squeezed out, in addition, the freedom of choreography and director creation is still very large.
Jiang Yelin is anxious to step into the showbiz from an antique dealer, and he has recently been disturbed by the Jiangkou foreign world, and the initial love is an important reason.
Compared with the net worth, the Japanese actor in the Jiangkou and foreign world does not even have one-tenth of his own, he is more handsome than tall, and his brother will never fall behind, if the boss of Yelin's company is inferior to others,
It's just that the other party is an idol star, which is much more attractive to women than ordinary antique dealers, right?
Okay, isn't it just acting and singing on camera, although my brother grew up on the street, he can't learn! Isn't it true that Brother Junzi Lan has no teacher and has raised 12 pots of the best, what's so difficult about acting?
Isn't the acting class of the film academy just lying on the ground and pretending to be an animal, and the acting brother with a sense of substitution is the same as crushing the past, first make a popular movie and let you take a look, Brother Xiaoye, I am the master of the Japanese drama in all directions! "You know a lot, it seems that you have done some homework, you are right, not long ago at the factory meeting, the movie "Big Horn" submitted by Director Xia failed to be approved.
"The Left-behind Woman" filmed by the Magic City Film Studio this year has been released, and the box office and market reputation are not very good.
If you pick up people's teeth and shoot again, it's a bit of a waste of resources, when I filmed "Xu Mao's Family" together with Beijing Film Studio, I have suffered losses and learned lessons! “
Lao Cheng raised his wrist and began to look at his watch, although he did not serve tea to the guests, but he also felt that this matter was over, and he didn't think that the Boss Jiang in front of him could change his decision and that of the factory council.
The most feared thing about making a movie is to crash with the same theme at the same time, and the possibility of a win-win situation is far less than a lose-lose situation, not to mention the average response after the release of "The Left-behind Woman" of the Demon Capital Factory, and the lessons from the past must be more cautious! "Director, although I am not familiar with Director Xia, I grew up watching movies from our New Huaxia and Beijing Film Studio, and the screenwriter of "The Big Horn", Lao Zheng Xiaofeng, and I are buddies.
I have 100% confidence in their scripts, isn't Director Xia's previous "Early Childbirth Passion" very popular, and they have been nominated for two Jinji Awards.
If we can shoot "The Big Horn" this time, I think we will definitely be able to win the award, if the magic capital factory smashes it, it is because their level is not good, our North Film Studio is the first one, we will never smash it! “
Jiang Yelin's mouth is like a river, but Lao Cheng is a senior master who has been an underground worker, and it is really not so easy for Jiang Yelin to move the other party......
The director squinted his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall, shook his head and said, "I don't doubt Xiagang's ability, Lao Zheng and Xiaofeng, these two partners are also good partners, but no matter how good the director is, no matter how good the script is, it is common for the audience to not admit it because of the subject matter."
Although there are many excellent works in Beijing Film Studio, it is already a great achievement to be able to make 1 or 2 of the ten dramas popular, and the factory has more than a dozen project places a year, and the funds are also stretched......
There are more than dozens or hundreds of directors waiting to shoot, but this time I can't help it! “
Jiang Yelin was silent for a while when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say quietly on the side, "Director Cheng, what if you ensure that the box office does not lose money?!" Yelin Culture Agency can sign a zero-pay performance agreement with the producer, as long as the box office loses, no salary! "Just kidding, what's the use of zero pay, your boss is not an actor at all, and he has not received systematic acting training, even if he has 0 salary, no director will use a thorough layman to be the male lead."
Da Sahorn is a literary film, relying on the acting skills of the male and female protagonists to promote the development of the plot, with all due respect, the image of Boss Jiang has the potential to be an actor......
But I don't have any acting experience, at most I have a cameo appearance as a passer-by with no lines, so don't force the rest! "Director Cheng, I heard that when you were the leader of the magic capital, you forged ahead and made a lot of progress, and now the Beijing Film Studio is in the middle of nowhere......
Isn't it your greatest expectation to make a good movie with a guaranteed box office reputation? Jiang Yelin said in a deep voice. Compared with the big Hong Kong film productions, mainland movies can only make small fuss now, and the entire budget cost of our film is less than the salary of a star.
In terms of production, it is also lagging behind a lot, and it is not impossible to make small-budget literary films, but the scene "The Big Horn" is difficult to be popular, it is difficult to find the male and female protagonists, and the schedule is also embarrassing.
If you hurry up and shoot, most of them will be released during the Spring Festival next year, and the ending of this drama is very melancholy, and it is far from a family carnival, so it's difficult! "Director Cheng, if Yelin's company comes to fully invest in the filming of this drama, do you think you can arrange the project" Jiang Yelin finally spread out his hole cards. Fully invested? Young man, making a movie is not a TV series, although there are few locations and no big scenes in literary films like "The Big Horn", at least a budget of about 2 million.
Bosses with a net worth of 2 million are not common nowadays, and the money is not so easy to make, are you sure you want to invest in filming "The Big Horn" by yourself? At that time, it is likely that the box office will not be good, and the particles will not be collected, have you thought about it?
The price for you, a passerby, to enjoy yourself is too great, isn't it? “
Director Cheng really didn't expect that in order to be the male number one in the movie, the young man in front of him was actually ready to invest 2 million just to be enjoyable? That's too much of a squander, isn't it?! "Money is not a problem, Director Cheng, I have liked the films of our Beijing Film Studio since I was a child, but you also said just now that the big Hong Kong film production Zuò is too far away from us at the market box office.
2 million is not enough for the salary of a protagonist, in this case, we will definitely not be able to catch up if we follow the previous path, don't we have to find another shortcut?
I'm not afraid of losing money, and you don't have to, right? Do you think you can set up a project? “
Jiang Yelin asked relentlessly, muttering quietly on the side, the boss is really crazy, it is likely that spending so much money in order to act in a movie is not a waste, it is estimated that most of the bosses want to be in the Jiangkou foreign sector.
The cost and price of chasing girls are too high, if you really spend so much, I don't know how long Yelin Company can continue to operate. "If Ye Lin Company participates in the investment as a producer, "The Big Horn" can be established, but you, a layman boss, want to be the male number one, it will definitely not work, and the entire film industry will have to laugh at our Beijing Film Studio.
How many old, middle-aged and young actors of the three generations have not filmed, co-authored us with a complete layman ticket holder to be the male number one, and it is not a matter of you losing 2 million if you smash the performance, the crew and the brand of Beijing Film Studio can be smashed in your hands! “
Jiang Yelin was disappointed when he heard this, Nima Ge invested 2 million and could only play a passerby?
What kind of thing is this, brother won't make such a big sacrifice and dedication for the art of film, right? It's so weird! "Boss, no, let's think of other ways, there are more good scripts, and there are more film studios with film production and shooting indicators, so we don't have to make trouble for Beijing Film Studio and Director Cheng, right?"
The quiet girl whispered to her boss on the side, muttering in her heart,
If I am the leader of Beijing Film Factory, I can't let the actor of the movie produced by Beijing Film Studio use a layman's ticket holder, right? This is not a problem that affects the appeal of the film, this is irresponsible to the organization and the audience.
The fifteen-minute meeting passed in a flash, and Jiang Yelin encountered an unexpected setback! When I left, this goods were very bad!
