If the audience can't understand what the story in your movie means, how can Zheng Xu play?

Therefore, Zheng Xu's movie, the overall story is clear, although the depth is not enough, but it is somewhat a bit, which can reach the point where ordinary audiences can understand it, and there is still a little depth worth thinking about slowly after watching it.

No matter how advanced the content is, he takes the initiative to eliminate it, and even in order to make the story understandable and complete, he will directly change some of the esoteric plots of the original play, just so as not to affect the smoothness of the overall story.

Zheng Xu's movies are decent and a little alternative in the circle of literary films, which is less than the top and more than the bottom.

Maybe Zheng Xu's overall professional level is even at the top of the middle in the domestic director industry, but it works well, and his current reputation is international. Even if it is not as good as Lao Zhang, in the eyes of the public, Zheng Xu also occupies the position of a first-line director in China.

When he first took the route of making movies and winning awards, Zheng Xu's purpose was to win awards and make him famous, and when others knew his honor, they were interested in him making some movies, and then watched his film and television works, and the audience could understand them after watching them, and they would be more or less affected.

Instead of simply copying those seemingly awesome classics for the sake of winning awards, waiting for the audience to finish watching his movie, come with a sentence: "What kind of thing is this special shooting!" ”

At this point, Zheng Xu and Lao Zhang took a completely different path.

For Lao Zhang, movies are both works and art.

But for Zheng Xu, film is a tool, and it has nothing to do with art.

This is a fundamental difference in philosophy.

In general, Zheng Xu's direction of development as a director is a little off, and his achievements in terms of film content are not very high on the whole, but he is familiar with the operation of movies.

Zheng Xu explained a little, Lao Zhang nodded, understanding is understanding, but he can't do Zheng Xu like this.

"I see what you mean, are you going to develop into the three major European film festivals in the future?"

Lao Zhang finally got a little enlightened, in his mind, this is okay, Zheng Xu used to focus on the Oscars, he mainly focused on the three major Europeans, each has its own advantages, everyone can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, help each other, although the relationship is not deep, there is no way to directly help hand-in-hand, but talk about the way, talk about the experience.

Zheng Xu sighed, got up and hugged the four Oscar statuette trophies on the desk into his arms, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Lao Zhang one by one.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

The four weighty landing sounds not only represent the weight of this trophy, but also the weight of honor after the trophy.

Lao Zhang looked at Zheng Xu and waited for him to speak.

"This, the best original script of "Hot Afternoon", before and after, used three or four hundred people, after half a year, and spent nearly 7 million dollars!"

"This, the best documentary feature film of "Dolphin Bay", used four or five hundred people, took five months, and almost spent seven or eight million, US dollars!"

"These two, "Rain Man", a best original screenplay, a best director, have been in preparation for seven or eight months, and almost thousands of people have been used, and the companies related to us have people and no one has paid for them, and this cost is more than the sum of the first two awards!"

Touching the four Oscar statuette trophies, Zheng Xu's face was a little cold, staring at Lao Zhang's eyes and saying: "Before and after, only counting the expenses on the surface, more than 30 million US dollars!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that a total of more than 40 million US dollars were spent on these four trophies, and in addition to money, so many people had to be used, can you take out this money?

Can you find these people? Even if you find them, do you dare to use them with confidence? If the money is not in place, everything is empty talk, and even if the money is in place, can you guarantee that the people below you will not be greedy for your money? When all of this is done, you are barely qualified to enter the arena and play with them, and you have a chance of winning. ”

What is all this?

It's all the rules of the game, this is the Oscar of the Americans, if a Yanguo wants to enter someone's playground to play, he must abide by other people's rules!

Only by abiding by the rules can you be qualified to play with others, and only then can you add some private goods to your own movies within the rules, which can be qualified to add!

Zheng Xu wasted so much effort and even brought up the public opinion of the two countries, what donated box office proceeds, what set up a persona, in order to ensure the success rate of the award, even the opportunity to win other awards was rejected, is it really the strength of "Rain Man"?

This is the atmosphere outside the venue, the situation in the general environment was made like this by Zheng Xu, and the judges pinched their noses to give the award, which is half a trick and half a robbery, why is Zheng Xu not ready to go to the Oscars in a short time?

Take two this year and go again in a short time, that is if you don't know what to do!

Zheng Xu didn't want to talk about these things to Lao Zhang, but when the two of them said this, he had to explain that it was not his style to hide it, the main thing was that it was easy for Lao Zhang to misunderstand if this kind of thing was concealed.

Lao Zhang has seen a big scene, but Zheng Xu's words, his heartbeat slowed down after listening to them!

Don't look at him often making big productions, and he invests hundreds of millions of dollars in a film at every turn, but that's film investment and film cost.

Can it be compared with this kind of pure public relations fee?

That kind of investment is, the money is smashed, and the effect is immediate!

What about Oscar PR?

This is pure money, listening to Zheng Xu's meaning, even if he can smash out the money and manpower, he can be regarded as qualified to enter the game with others!

As for the results, they are all probabilities!

What is the most Oscar PR fee he's ever spent on before?

$2,000,000! In his opinion, this is already a lot!

But compared to what Zheng Xu said, he is really drizzle, and this money is thrown into the puddle of Oscar, and there is not even a splash!

In the past, the overseas copyright of one of his films could only be sold for millions of dollars?

It doesn't matter if you don't have financial resources, what else is playing Oscar?

Forty or fifty million dollars, even if you take an integer ratio, it will be calculated as 1:7.

Several times in the entire Yan country, which director dares to have this courage? Dare to take hundreds of millions of funds to operate like Zheng Xu?

Isn't it good to have this money to keep for yourself?

The most important thing is that Zheng Xu's movies, regardless of whether he is playing side balls or not, are theoretically all operated by Zheng Xu, and they are invested by American investors! It's all "American movies"! It is only by relying on this natural identity that you can spend money on public relations and enter the market and compete with others.

Lao Zhang used to play foreign movies to enter the Oscars, and he didn't even have this identity advantage!

This way of arranging things to realize the truth is the most impactful, Lao Zhang was suppressed at once, it was too real, even so real that it was cruel, and he put out the thought of asking Zheng Xu for help.

Talented people are extremely proud, and Lao Zhang is no exception, he is talented!

But for someone as proud as he is, he is a little out of information now!

If you have this money alone, you can't get it out!

Don't talk about the rest of the manpower, he can't find it.

People themselves spent so much money on their own operations a few years ago, and now they will only be more, not less!

.................

"Hey—" all the anticipation turned into a sigh.

Lao Zhang retreated in a difficult way, so he could only take one step at a time, and now he has also brought in Hollywood partners, try again, Zheng Xu's side is considered to have taken advantage of the excitement and returned with failure.

After some investigation, it can't be said that there is no gain, it can only be said that there is a harvest, but it is not big, and the reference is too poor, there is no possibility of copying, and even after reading Zheng Xu's side, he is wondering if he can find another company to continue to sign a contract, he is too tired to be the boss!

Imagine a company like Zheng Xu to create a flashing media company, not only to have projects, but also to have manpower, relationships, and places.

Theoretically, Lao Zhang is a native of Western Shaanxi, his hometown is Chang'an, and as an inland ancient capital with a long history, Chang'an has good resources!

If he could have taken root and developed in his hometown, he would definitely not be worse than Zheng Xu now, but there is a Western Film Studio in Chang'an!

If he could develop locally at that time, why would he go to the capital far away?!

The time and place are favorable, he doesn't have any touches, don't think about it on the company's side, just honestly build a director's studio.

"Let's go, I was going to stay with you for a few more days, but now the more I watch it, the more sad I feel, I'm getting old, I can't do it, I'd better go back and change the script first."

The battered Lao Zhang got up and prepared to go home, so sad!

"That's it? Where to go? I'll drop you off. ”

Lao Zhang thought, if I go back to Chang'an, can you still send me back to Chang'an by the way?

"Let's go back to Chang'an, there are still some things to deal with over there."

"Isn't that a coincidence, by the way, our plane also has to go over for maintenance."

A flashing number, the essence is rented, but there is no limit to the rental period, but maintenance is charged, Zheng Xu is very good, every time the specified use time, let the captain drive back for maintenance, the money is enough, and the people of Shaanxi Fei will not treat him badly.

..................

The two walked all the way to the gate, Zheng Xu asked Lao Zhang to wait, and a driver went to drive a commercial car.

At the gate, a bus with a flashing media logo stopped for inspection.

Lao Zhang looked at the people who got out of the car with some curiosity, these people are not flashing media people at first glance, and even the tooling is different.

"What are these people doing, they are also here to inspect your company?"

Zheng Xu picked up his mobile phone and flipped through it, before responding: "This is a person from our brother unit, our company will invite people from our brother unit from time to time to visit our unit, and by the way, let them give us some advice. ”

Lao Zhang was a little speechless, looking at the people who got down and down the bus to be inspected, all of them were holding gifts in their hands, you told me that this was called to visit? Is this called exchanging feelings? You're a big hill to do.

Following Lao Zhang's gaze, Zheng Xu said calmly: "Ahem, it's not easy for the brother unit to come all the way, and it is reasonable for us to send some souvenirs and small gifts to others before leaving, right?" ”

"Hmm... Reasonable, very reasonable. ”

Lao Zhang is tired, he doesn't want to engage in a company now, mainly because he has a comparison object, even if an ordinary company can do it, he can't look at it, but like Zheng Xu, he really can't play, it's too tired! Also bothered!

An old driver drove a Buick business parked next to Zheng Xu, waiting in line for a while for the doorman at the door to check.

Lao Zhang glanced at the car that was full, leaving only a passenger seat that could allow him to sit down.

"You... This is also a souvenir and a small gift for me? ”

"Well, Mr. Zhang, don't panic, we will transport the things to Chang'an with the car, and let the master send you home when the time comes, and the things will also help you move home."

Lao Zhang is old, Zheng Xu is embarrassed to pour him wine, he didn't entertain him in a hurry, he can only send some gifts to make up for it, in the face of the old-timers, etiquette must be in place!

"Okay..."Lao Zhang thought for a long time and found that there was no reason to refuse, and all the details of the people had been considered for him.

Is this gift-giving technique too skillful? As soon as he said to leave, he didn't see Zheng Xu doing anything, so he sent a short message, and in ten minutes, the car of gifts was ready, and he could only say that he was ----- professional.

..................

There is a very magical welfare team in the logistics department of a flashing media, they are mainly responsible for the internal, but occasionally externally, they are professionally responsible for evaluation, procurement, preparation of gifts and specialties, usually stored in the warehouse, their team is responsible for supervising the birthdays of each employee, the New Year's Day, and giving gifts to the families of employees, these gifts are carefully selected, and the warehouse is always available all year round!

Zheng Xu sent a message in the group here, explained to them the specifications and standards of the gifts, and the welfare team over there can directly follow the process to issue orders, items out of the warehouse, and the gifts are on the car, and the assembly line is operated!

After the bus in front of me was checked, the security guard came to check the business vehicle again before letting it go.

These guards cherish their jobs very much, and there are some companies that only recognize the license plate and do not recognize the stinky problem of people, who has to stop for inspection, and check in and out!

Even if the city leaders come to inspect the media and inspect them, the leaders have to praise them for their serious work and positive attitude towards life.

No one can afford to provoke this kind of department composed of wounded veterans and disabled people, he is only responsible, and there will never be the kind of thing in "No Thieves in the World", where the thief stole the car and swaggered to drive a luxury car to scold the doorman out of the community.

Zheng Xu held Lao Zhang's hand and said: "Teacher Zhang came in a hurry, and he went back in a hurry, come over at any time when he is free in the future, and call me to pick you up, haha." ”

"Okay, thank you Director Zheng for making my old guy more knowledgeable! It's really insightful, this trip is not in vain! Ha ha. ”

Lao Zhang pointed to the direction of Zheng Xu's office, and then pointed to the gifts in the car, and said two sentences in a row to increase his knowledge, which was a bit of a pun.

Zheng Xu smiled with Lao Zhang, personally closed the car door for him, sent it to the gate, and watched them go away before turning around and going back to the company.

....................

As soon as he entered the office, Wang Ou sat on the sofa, saw Zheng Xu coming in, and took the lead in speaking: "Didn't you say that you would stay for a few days?" Why did you leave so quickly? I haven't had time to meet Mr. Zhang yet. ”

"How do I know, maybe I'm busy at home."

------Off topic------

It's the beginning of the month, why hasn't it been as lively as the end of last month?

All kinds of tickets have plummeted.
