Guan Chen asked Zhang Jingsheng before, what is the first thing to learn when a producer is to be able to judge the quality of a script? Or to improve artistic attainments, to be able to see on the spot whether the director is confident on the set or is shooting blindly?

Zhang Jingsheng said no, making a movie is exactly the same as starting a company, if you want to be a good producer, you must first learn business management, know how to spend money, how to save money, how to let dozens of people live together, and not fight with each other.

Guan Chen patted his thigh after listening, I am familiar with this.

He has accumulated a full year of work experience in the studio, and thanks to him, the studio can survive tenaciously under the destruction of Manager Qian, and the people's hearts will not be scattered.

When he arrived at the new company, without the obstruction of the money manager, Guan Chen felt that he could give full play to his business talents.

For example, find actors who are interested in performing on the big screen, charge them a "tuition", and promise to make them the leading actors of theatrical movies within a year. If it doesn't work out in the end, then get a full refund, and it's not a lot of money. It's just that the process and cycle of this refund are a little long, because Guan Chen is going to use those tuition fees for loans or investments, and after a year, the money has already given birth to more money, and it doesn't matter if the principal is returned. In this way, they are not only a production company training company, but also a financial company with a great future. This is open source.

Another example is to recruit a bunch of interns full of ideals, let them work for a few months with low wages and high intensity, and then tell them that there is a half-year management trainee training, and after completion, they can enter the management team, and even hope to become a partner of the company, dominate the workplace, become their own masters, and work for themselves. If naïve young people believe that it is true, work for a year in vain, and finally get the status of partner, they will be surprised to find that above the original partner, there are senior partners, and special partners—which are similar to the medium, large, and super large cups of a coffee shop—and they have to continue to work if they want to be the masters of their lives. It's throttling.

Whether it is open source or throttling, Guan Chen has many methods.

But Guan Chen knows that making money is ultimately about making movies.

He hopes that his future can be the same as Zhang Jingsheng, when he sees a good script and a good role, he will set up a platform for the producer to shoot the movie, so that he does not have to take the risk of missing the role, passively waiting for the audition results, and no one can take the role; Save the game by yourself, and you don't have to fight all day long about who has more shots and who has more handsome movements.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a reliable production team, otherwise the movie will be made into a piece of, and no matter how good the characters and performances in it are, it can only be chocolate-flavored - knowing that it is delicious, but no one will taste it.

The crew of "Police Story" and "Key to Destiny" are a bunch of capable people, Guan Chen is very greedy, but those are Zhang Jingsheng, Director Tian's team and old partners, the level is full, all of them have won gold awards, and it is not easy to dig in normal ways.

had to settle for the next best thing, shopping for scrap in the crew of "Black Dragon".

The ability of the black director (the director of "Black Dragon") is just ordinary, but he is loyal.

Guan Chen was just a little martial artist who worked without a license last year, and although he had already played the entire Cai family class for a round, when he made some suggestions for action design, he was still hindered. Some are from actors, some are from Master Cai, some are from screenwriters, and even those who are in charge of lunch boxes have opinions on Guan Chen's call for everyone to supplement protein. Most of Guan Chen's suggestions can't be used, but the black director will tell Guan Chen carefully and seriously, why those suggestions can't be used, and how they will do more harm than good if they are used; As for the part that can be used, Director Hei is more determined than anyone else after adopting it, and some actors' agents are shocked, This is tantamount to witnessing a myth for them, a director actually listens to the layman's words, they are worried that the director is succumbing to Guan Chen's force, but Director Hei said no, Brother Chen is very talented, and brought a very new thing. Although Guan Chen doesn't know where his talent is and where the new is new, he does feel something called respect from the director.

Therefore, Guan Chen decided that after watching the finished film of "Black Dragon 2" this time, if he could score more than 70 points, he would grant the position of [partner] to the black director, and let the black director specialize in popcorn movies.

Some films are a tool for the creator's self-expression, trying to raise questions about a specific life and resonate with the audience.

The pursuit of some movies is very simple, as long as the picture is exciting enough to make the audience cry out. It's called a popcorn movie.

The scripts that Guan Chen wanted to take were basically the former, but Hawley asked Guan Chen not to look down on the latter kind of popcorn movie, let alone produce superiority.

Since the development of film, it has assumed value and artistic pursuit, but the first attribute of film has always been a commodity. The carrying capacity of the film is limited, and even if some heavy things are not presented, it is clearly there. There are enough people in this world who are depressed and anxious, and popcorn movies can bring some breathing and release space to such people, so that they can sleep well and continue to live better. Hawley envied the film and television environment in China, a movie ticket only costs a dozen yuan, and citizens go out shopping, take a walk or have a pastime after dinner, and spend more than a dozen yuan to get two hours of pleasure. Rather than profound, everyone also needs something lighthearted.

And the popcorn movie doesn't say anything except the picture, it conveys the universal moral concept, evil is invincible, evil is rewarded, you can't kill children, you can't kill dogs, persistence is victory, unity is strength...... It's so simple that every viewer can feel and understand, whether they're educated or not.

Hawley said it very well, and Guan Chen knew that the popcorn movie turned out to be a big article. However, when Guan Chen asked him if the popcorn script he wrote had been sold, Holly hesitated for a long time, and finally frustrated that he might not have the talent to make popcorn movies.

A Hawley, a black director, a writer and a martial artist, is Guan Chen's optimistic prospective senior partner.

Because of the addition of Guan Chen involved, the attention of "Black Dragon 2" is far greater than that of the previous work, and the pomp and circumstance of the premiere are also larger than the first part. Journalists, movie fans, security guards, there is no shortage of the same.

Speaking of doing is Guan Chen's forbearance, when he walked the red carpet at the premiere, he really wore a set of sportswear to appear, before coming, Qian Liangyi risked his life to speak, feeling that the sportswear was too unserious, it was the first time to participate in the first co-starring movie of Xingjiaban Gemini (Xie Jinzhu's self-styled), no matter what Guan Chen said, he should show some attitude, don't wear the old gray sportswear anymore. Guan Chen is not a brutal person, and he can still listen to good words. So the sportswear he wore was carefully selected by Guan Chen, and the yellow sportswear with black stripes on his side was a tribute to Bruce Lee. It was not Guan Chen's intention to steal the spotlight, but when Guan Chen appeared, he directly covered the limelight of other actors, and everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"Sir, you can't bring these nunchucks in." The security guard walked over and held out his hand.

"It's decoration."

"Nope."

"Tsk." Guan Chen had no choice but to hand over the weapon.

Seeing that Guan Chen was disarmed, the screenwriter in the distance dared to come over. He wanted to discuss the plot of the third part with Guan Chen. He said that he had completed the first draft as Guan Chen said.

[Boss Chen secretly kidnaps the protagonist's friend and forces the protagonist to return to the underground world to ask for help. After helping the protagonist find his friends, Boss Chen takes advantage of the protagonist's righteousness and innocence to make the protagonist fight for him again and again. Unexpectedly, the central government investigated corruption and found the umbrella of Boss Chen, and Boss Chen withdrew to protect himself, designed the protagonist to take the blame for him, and promised to find a way to get him out. However, while in prison, the protagonist accidentally learns that his friend's kidnapping was directed and acted by Boss Chen. After the protagonist reacted to being fooled, he knew that if he didn't resist, he would be executed, so he escaped from prison in anger and began to take revenge on Boss Chen......]

Guan Chen asked him to stop quickly, the picture of "Raid 2" had already popped up in his mind, if the martial arts instruction was carried out according to the standards of "Raid 2", then the actors would have to train in the group from now on.

But it's a pity that Xie Jinzhu fulfilled his duty as an agent and asked Guan Chen not to tell the plot of the second half of "Black Jiaolong 3".

Guan Chen told the screenwriter: "I am going to open a production company recently, and I can see your talent." So, if you come over...... Settle in for six months, and if you want to stay, I'll give you a partner's position. ”

"Partner!" The screenwriter was excited, "Can I really do it?" Brother Chen! ”

"Believe in yourself."

Guan Chen patted the screenwriter on the shoulder and walked into the theater.

Everyone noticed him at once.

On the one hand, his clothes are so eye-catching that it's hard to turn a blind eye.

On the other hand, Guan Chen "lives in a simple place", lives like an amateur, rarely participates in gatherings and activities in the circle, and many peers have no way to get to know him.

This time, everyone finally caught him, and everyone slowly moved closer to him.

Guan Chen couldn't touch the nunchucks, so he had to patiently shake hands with these people he didn't know, he felt that he was filming "Game of Death", and there was another one after the fight.

I finally got to the front row and sat down, surrounded by people I knew.

They looked at Guan Chen's expression a little complicated, but in just one year, Guan Chen has changed from a little assistant to a rising star. Fortunately, Guan Chen, as always, has not changed from a neuropathy to a neuropathy who loves the shelf.

"Stand upright!" Guan Chen said.

Several actors who had been trained in the [Caijiaban Training Base] were stunned for a moment, and then stood up loosely and unevenly.

Guan Chen pinched this person's arm, and then patted that person's beer belly, very disappointed: "It's too lax." ”

Several actors were a little ashamed and embarrassed at first, saying that the movie had already been filmed, and it was normal for people to relax and relax appropriately.

Guan Chen shook his head, there are still too few self-disciplined and serious action actors like the senior brother. He thought to himself, "Black Dragon 3" really has to find some other people.

But who are you looking for? If you go in a realistic style, it would be best to find some real gangsters to restore the real gangster fire and relive your youth.

But in these years, pure gangsters are not easy to find, and all they can find are gangsters with crooked melons and cracked dates.

Guan Chen was wondering if he would go to squat at the door of the detention center when the time came......

After the male number one who was born as an idol artist entered the finale, the main creators were almost all there.

The premiere is about to begin.

Xie Jinzhu came to Guan Chen's side and reminded him to appear on stage later. Guan Chen put away his divergent thinking, followed Xie Jinzhu and the black director to stand in front of the screen, and let the host briefly interview them.

When asked about Guan Chen, the host asked what kind of person Guan Chen played in the movie.

This time Guan Chen asked.

After being inexplicably changed by the black director, Guan Chen himself didn't know what he played in the end.

When we got back to our seats, the movie started playing.

Guan Chen brought popcorn from Qian Liangyi and was ready to seriously check the homework.
