Chapter 147: Compromise
Compromise is important for the director.
Sometimes you have to compromise with capital, compromise with the market, and sometimes you have to compromise with actors!
If the director's rights are too big and he can shoot what he wants unscrupulously, it will be miserable!
Any director is an individual, he has his own aesthetics, don't talk about it, just say Xiaobai, he likes Cut films very much, if he really lets him shoot a movie according to his true ideas, he may really make a film that no one likes, only he loves something!
And then I was scolded by a bunch of people for a bad movie...
Of course, Xiaobai understands this truth, but how can it be so simple to really implement?
Many people clearly say that what they say is righteousness, but what they really do is filthy!
After leaving the crew, Xiaobai regretted it a little...
No matter what aspect it is, Xiaobai is Xu Zheng's junior, because such a 'trivial matter' makes the latter unable to get off the stage in public, this is really unreasonable!
……
After saying that after the incident, Xu Zheng was also very angry, he didn't even eat dinner, and went into the room when he returned to the hotel.
At this time, he was walking around the house, looking a little annoyed.
The assistant naturally relayed Huang Liang's words.
Xu Zheng has always had a good impression of Bai Xiaofei, knowing that this is a young man with ideas!
It's a good thing to have ideas, but what a director is most afraid of is having an empty brain, and he likes to pretend to be forced.
Ning Hao told him that the director of "The God of Medicine" found Bai Xiaofei, and he was quite happy, Xu Zheng liked Bai Xiaofei's movies very much, and felt that they revealed the literary and artistic sense of intellectuals!
The bald head has always advertised himself as an intellectual when he was young, and later after experiencing "People in Embarrassment", he gradually moved closer to the direction of online commercial films!
"I used to think that I read more books than others, and that I was an intellectual, so I should find my own appeal. But the literary and artistic tone will make you unable to connect with the ground, you can only pass on a niche thing, and it can even be said that you can't convey something substantial, only a breath and tone, and you can't influence other people's values. Art should be a means, and personal things should be put on the back burner. ”
He is very envious of Bai Xiaofei, obviously several works are very personal, but he can be loved by the public!
This is what he has always wanted to do, but he has not been able to do!
can cooperate with such a director, Xu Zheng is of course full of expectations!
It's just that he ignores one point, but all talented people don't like to be pointed at!
Looking at the movies that Xu Zheng is the producer of, we can see from the behind-the-scenes footage that he is sitting behind the director's monitor and talking to the director...
To put it nicely, it's called stubbornness, perfectionism, even if you are a producer, you have to ensure the quality of the series, and if it's hard to hear, it's a drama bully!
If it's because of a disagreement over the performance, it's better to say a little bit.
Even if it's because the plot is not smooth or the logic is wrong, you can discuss it.
He wanted Xiaobai to suppress people in the name of 'who is the director', then it would be much easier...
I didn't expect him to just quit!
"You don't know me yet? I must have made a subconscious move, forgetting that I wasn't the director..."
"yes, who would have thought that he would say no!"
"This kid has such a big temper!"
Xu Zheng was on the phone with Ning Hao.
The producers of "God of Medicine" are in addition to Xu Zheng and Ning Hao.
Of course, Ning Hao also knew about it, first figuring out what was going on, and then calling to appease the old guy...
"How do I know what to do?"
"I'm going to apologize?"
"Yes, I know he wrote this script, he's the director, but..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right over!"
……
On the other side, Zhang Shan was also comforting Bai Xiaofei.
"Did you eat explosives? You're going to do something like this? The space rented by the crew, the expenses of the staff..."
"No, I just want to establish my status in the crew!"
“… Status? Everyone wants to make a good movie, so they got together, what? You just feel that your status is threatened, and you don't see how much sacrifice Mr. Xu Zheng has made for this play? ”
"I..."
"You're a little floaty now!"
Zhang Shan had long wanted to say this to Bai Xiaofei!
Since last year's literary scene, he found that Bai Xiaofei was a little carried away, and a series of successes made him not know who he was!
Originally, if "Riding the Wind and Waves" didn't explode at the box office, maybe Xiaobai would be able to take advantage of this to be silent, but I didn't expect "Riding the Wind and Waves" to explode...
Since then, he has found that Bai Xiaofei is very powerful.
Criticize Xiao Xianrou, blame literary films...
No, who do you think you are?
A twenty-six-year-old young director only joined the Directors Guild last year, what do you say?
Now it's even more awesome, and I slapped Xu Zheng's face in public...
"You're so powerful, why don't you direct and act yourself!"
What does this mean? Looking down on Xu Zheng? What right do you have to look down on him?
At the beginning, the box office of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" increased against the trend in the later period, because Ning Hao and Xu Zheng recommended this film on Weibo...
"I just don't think the crew can have two bosses..."
“… I'm really convinced of you, Mr. Xu really wants to film seriously, and he doesn't want to grab your director's position, no, what do you think? Based on the relationship between Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, if he wants to direct, do you think there is anything wrong with you? ”
"I..."
Being scolded by Zhang Shan, Xiaobai suddenly felt a little enlightened...
In the original time and space, Bai Xiaofei was just an executive director, and he had never really mastered a crew, let alone released a work!
After coming to this world, the works directed by him exploded one after another, and he himself was praised by the audience and the media, and it is normal to be a little lost!
"So what do I do now?"
“… Apologize to Mr. Xu! ”
"Oh..."
Xiaobai hurriedly got dressed, prepared to go to Xu Zheng, opened the door, and happened to meet a sparkling braised egg...
……
The time was eight o'clock, Xiaobai followed Xu Zheng into his room, Xu Zheng recovered his previous state, and said with a smile: "Drink something, I brought some tea and coffee." ”
"Tea, thank you."
Sitting on the sofa, I took a casual look, the room was very clean, and the clothes and luggage were packed neatly...
It's really worthy of being a Modu person!
Xu Zheng brewed a cup of tea and a cup of coffee, and the two of them sat opposite each other, suddenly a little embarrassed.
“…”
After being silent for a while, Xiaobai spoke first: "Teacher Xu, my tone was not good in the morning, please bear with me." ”
“… It's okay, I'm wrong too! ”
Xu Zheng also waved his hand...
Xiaobai continued: "Actually, I especially want to ask, since you are so interested in this story, why don't you direct it yourself?" ”
"I can't, I'm not good at this kind of subject!"
“… Is that really the case? ”
"Of course!"
Xu Zheng replied sincerely.
"I know what I'm good at, this "God of Medicine", I am suitable to be an actor!"
