Chapter 80: Du Dao
"Mr. Fan, your samples are very good."
"Just be satisfied."
"Satisfied, satisfied, how can you not be satisfied. Your special effects really saved the life of this film. If it weren't for you, whether this film would be released as scheduled is still one thing. ”
"It's going to be released after all." Fan Zhe snorted haha.
From Director Du's words, Fan Zhe heard a deep resentment, and it was obvious who it was for him - obviously he was particularly dissatisfied with the investor.
But this matter has nothing to do with Fan Zhe. Although he is also quite sympathetic to Director Du, he feels that this guy has jumped into a pit. But as an outsider, he has no position to speak.
The two chatted for a while, and Du Zhengde suddenly mentioned: "Mr. Fan, do you have time at night?" If you have one, let's have a meal together. ”
Fan Zhe was a little surprised.
Supposedly, I am not so familiar with Du Zhengde, right? The first time we met, it was at the wine table at that time, when I beat up the man named Wang Lingxian with Una, and it was not a pleasant first meeting.
After that, the two basically didn't communicate much, let alone have a personal relationship.
However, he thought about it for a while and decided to accept Director Du's invitation.
Fan Zhe doesn't have much opinion on Du Zhengde.
Looking back now, when the conflict broke out at the dinner table, Wang Lingxian didn't talk about it, Hu Kang was a little protective of Wang Lingxian at first, but it was only because he found out later that he couldn't protect it, plus Fan Zhe's own resolute attitude, and he didn't care about whether the cooperation could be achieved at all, so he panicked and became quite a little low-voiced.
But in Fan Zhe's impression, Du Zhengde was always there during the whole conflict at that time, but basically watched the whole process without help.
Fan Zhe doesn't hate this person, and it's nothing to have a meal with the other party.
He intends to enter the film and television industry, but in this industry, he has no reliable connections.
Right now, it seems like a good entry point.
……
Du Zhengde asked Fan Zhe to come out for this meal, the purpose is actually relatively simple, just to make friends.
He has seen most of the special effects shots submitted by Dimension Entertainment. Especially for the special effects of the last climax, he is very satisfied.
The price of 20 million can be made like this, what else is there to ask for?
Since then, he has also recognized the technical strength of 'Dimension Entertainment'.
As a director who wants to make blockbuster films and hopes to be able to direct mainstream commercial productions for a long time in the future, it is naturally a good thing to be able to become friends with the owner of a special effects company with a strong technical background.
Under the idea that the two of them have made friends with each other, in the evening, they talked quite happily at the wine table.
Especially after each poured two bottles of beer into their stomachs, they began to call each other 'brother' and 'brother'.
At the dinner table, Fan Zhe asked Du Zhengde a lot of things about the film and television industry, including the general process of some TV series production.
Of course, the two of them talked about the most gossip in the circle.
At the end of the topic, Fan Zhe borrowed the strength of the wine, with a little joke, and said to Du Zhengde: "Brother, what about me, in fact, I want to enter this circle to play, you know, I have the technology here, although the capital is not comparable to those industry giants, but I can also take out a little, I also bought the copyright of a novel, I want to make a drama, I don't know if my brother is interested in directing it?" ”
He seemed a little drunk, but he actually had a clear head.
Du Zhengde's just-finished "Demon Shadow War" seems to be a piece of garbage in Fan Zhe's eyes, but it doesn't mean that his level is really poor.
Fan Zhe can be regarded as having come into contact with this project, although he has not had deep contact, but he has a particularly big interference in Du Zhengde's contradictions with investors in the crew, as well as the investors from casting, to film shooting, to post-editing.
Therefore, Fan Zhe believes that this movie hit the street, Du Zhengde does not say that he has no responsibility at all, but the biggest pot should not be his.
Based on some of the director's past works, Fan Zhe has also seen it, and he feels that this director is still a bit level.
He didn't have this idea before, but after talking about it today, he suddenly thought, if he would start the production of a series, why didn't he invite this director?
Du Zhengde is not a big director, but he is also a mature director who has his own works and has been in this industry for many years.
It's also a good thing to have him.
So, taking advantage of the wine table, with a little wine, Fan Zhe made a temptation.
Even if it doesn't work, it can be regarded as no such thing afterwards, and if there is really a need for this, it is not too late to make a formal invitation.
And Du Zhengde, who is opposite, is also a good person.
Naturally, he was unwilling and unsuitable to accept Fan Zhe's invitation.
Lao Du was first mixed in advertisements and MV shooting, tossed for a few years, and later went to shoot TV series. Now that he finally jumped out of the TV drama circle and mixed in the movie circle, he doesn't want to go back.
For directors, being a TV series director and a film director is very distinct, and, if nothing else, at least in terms of status, film directors are almost standing at the top and looking down on TV series directors.
The big screen looks down on the small screen, not only domestically, but also in the whole world.
It is actually much more difficult for a director to move from a small screen to a big screen than an actor, and the professional requirements of the two are also somewhat different.
Lao Du finally transformed from a small screen to the film circle, and he has made several films in a row, all of which are on the rise.
If Fan Zhe says that he wants to make a movie, he may still have a certain attraction to him, TV series? Forget it.
But it's not good to refuse directly, but after all, this is at the wine table, and it will be over with a haha.
In this way, Fan Zhe almost understood what Director Du meant, and did not dwell on this matter too much, and still maintained a relatively warm atmosphere on the table.
When the two of them left the hotel, their steps were a little vain, but after they called a car and separated, they immediately came to their senses.
It's not really a party between good friends, this kind of dinner, a fool will really drink himself out.
Fan Zhe doesn't like to drink very much, but he doesn't hate it either; The amount of alcohol is not particularly good, but it is not bad, and it will not be turned over after two or three bottles.
When he returned home, he even drew a picture for a while with the strength of drinking some wine, and felt that it was almost there, before he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
