When he left Beijing Film Studio, Li Yuan still had a confused expression. Because in the subsequent exchange, he found that he could no longer interject, so he could only smile at his aunt and watch the group of old artists discussing art?

And don't blame those old artists for not seeming to have emotional intelligence. Although they are all employees of Beijing Film Studio, many of them receive state subsidies, and they don't need to look at anyone's face at all.

And the leaders of Beijing Film Studio are also accustomed to it. Literary young generation! Aren't all artists like that?

But...... Li Yuan doesn't know how to complain, brother, I just want to find a tool director?

There are also differences in philosophy.

Since they didn't know what a multi-line narrative structure was, Huang Dao didn't understand it at all, and they couldn't understand it. They follow the kind of template they are familiar with, which is the kind - the traditional drama syllogism?

Just like this, Xia Jiba changed randomly, and what was changed was unrecognizable. Especially that is still a group of stubborn old men and stubborn old women, their thoughts are very stubborn, and they already have their own very mature creative ideas.

Come on! If Brother Yuan wants to make a drama syllogism, why bother to change "Two Big Smoking Guns"?

Suddenly, Li Yuan found himself in a misunderstanding.

Since "Two Golden Guns" is a mountain monster, there is no precedent before, and it is difficult for others to understand this idea.

It is certainly impossible for a mainland director. Their thinking is too outdated, and they still regard the new wave that has just been introduced as a treasure.

Hong Kong and Taiwan Director...... It's also almost impossible. Just look at the script that was first written in the company? shows that those screenwriters are also confused.

Maybe there will be a few more talented and avant-garde Hong Kong and Taiwan directors who can communicate, right?

But as soon as they came, these are all famous directors, and their schedules have long been full, and it is difficult to get their film appointments; Second, why do these famous directors communicate with themselves? And to be your own tool?

In this way, Li Yuan pondered hard...... Hey? Is it just that you are left to be a director?

mmp！ Hell is empty, and demons are on earth! The world is hopeless! This is all forced by you!

……

Just when Li Yuan felt sorry for himself, Wu Yongping on the side asked hesitantly: "Yuanzi, do you want to get rid of us?" You don't want us to take care of anything but ask us to pay? ”

There is no way, even the eldest brother can already see that something is wrong.

One thing to say, in fact, those old artists are quite pitiful, because there are more and more directors in the factory, there are only a few projects that are approved every year, and they may queue up for several years, and it is not their turn to direct and star in a film.

No matter how good the treatment of the country and the factory is, what can it be? How much honor and respect in society can it be? We just want to make a movie!

This is like Mr. Zhao Dan's last words when he passed away - I just want to be an actor!

There are also directors like Wang Xiaoshuai. After graduating from Nortel, he was assigned to the Min Film Studio, but he never went to report, and became a North Drifter in the capital.

However, the director of Min Film Studio was thirsty for talent, went to Wang Xiaoshuai's place to visit the thatched house, and promised to arrange him as a director as soon as possible.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai's girlfriend is Chen Xiaoxu, right! is Lin Daiyu in the 84 version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Chen Xiaoxu hoped that Wang Xiaoshuai would stay in the capital for development.

But in the choice of girlfriend and movie, of course, it is the movie!

Chen Xiaoxu was extremely disappointed, and the two broke up painfully. And after Wang Xiaoshuai came to the American Film Studio, he learned that it would be five years as soon as possible?

The factory director was not lying. Five years is a lot of time. There are still a large number of old, middle-aged and young directors in the factory who are queuing up!

In the end, Wang Xiaoshuai went to the Min Film Studio for a while, resolutely left, and continued to return to the capital to drift north...... (laughs and cries)

It can be seen that how sought-after the director's position is at this time?

I didn't expect this Comrade Xiao Li to deliver to the door today, this fat sheep is not desperate?

However, understanding is understanding, Li Yuan did not come to do charity. He smiled at Wu Yongping and said, "It doesn't matter what they do." Let's shoot our own. ”

Wu Yongping became a victim of gains and losses again: "Director Huang, they are all great artists. It's a shame not to use them, right? ”

"Unfortunately, there is no way. We can't spend money to make them happy. ”

For those old artists, like most of the ordinary people of this young generation, Wu Yongping still admires them. But that's it, a little pity at most.

Wu Yongping quickly changed a question he cared about: "Yuanzi, when you are making a movie, can I bring my classmates over to see it?" ”

"Yes, you can just let Erlang arrange it."

Wu Yongping smiled: "I told my classmates that Brother Yuan, the author of "Casino", is my buddy. I didn't expect those grandsons to believe it? Let them open their eyes now, and I'll take them straight to the movies! ”

"Hehe, male classmate? Female classmates? ”

“mb！ How do you be virtuous with Erlang? ”

"I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you will bring a Pan Jinlian."

"God's special Pan Jinlian."

"Hey, what about the quality of college students?"

"Do I still need quality? Seeing you like this, making a lot of money, and having beautiful girls, I don't even want to go to college. Maybe there was too much stimulation for Wu Yongping this time, which made him burst into foul language again and again.

"The same cannot be said. Know the mouse? He's now in charge of the Inner State stall. As a semi-literate person like him, he stumbled over everything. Books are hated less when they are used. Or the role of college students is great. If you really want to, you will definitely have a future better than Jiro in the future. ”

"But now he's richer than me, huh? Yuanzi, please do one thing, if you have the opportunity to work and study in the future, consider my brother? ”

"You and I must have a good discussion. Just can't affect your learning? ”

"That's for sure. I know that, too. ”

“……”

……

After a short vacation, Wu Yongping went back to school.

Due to the peculiar sea tide of this period, the university campus is also full of people's hearts. As introduced before, there are more than 600 ordinary teachers in college, and less than 1,000 yuan for ordinary professors? This is still a university in the imperial capital of the magic capital, and university teachers in the mainland earn even less.

Just look at Yan Qing's bastard! After he increased his salary, counting the monthly bonus benefits, he could actually have more than 1,000?

It's not like decades later, when college professors who don't have a house or a car are too embarrassed to go out and say hello. Even the research monks call them "bosses"? Almost all of them are rich.

Therefore, many college students in this era are busy wanting to go to the sea to do business. Of course, this trend has also been passed down in one line, that is, it was later renamed "entrepreneurship".

After returning to the company, Li Yuan decided to cut through the mess quickly.

"Two Golden Guns" will be directed by yourself! Find a few Nortel students as assistants at most. As for the question of proficiency? At most, a few boxes of film are wasted.

The "Rich and Powerful" series is also cooked without raw. Just use the original director Gao Zhisen.

Because the golden generation of Hong Kong directors is too dazzling, a few decades later, director Gao Zhisen seems to be a little unfamous. But in reality, his comedy work is quite distinctive. Especially in recent years, it has been the peak period of Gao Dao's creation. In addition to the "Rich and Powerful" series, there are also excellent works such as "Happy Events in the Family" and "Happy Events in the Flower Field".

In fact, Gao Dao's later depression was also helpless. Like the older generation of comedy stars, the Xu brothers, Huang Baiming, etc., have stopped filming, and there are no good comedians, how can they shoot? And Zhou Xingxing's classmate alone held up a piece of the sky, and he finally became a director himself?

And the two leading actors in the mainland invited Zhao Lirong and Uncle Ge, two teachers. They will play a mother and son in the mainland, and collide with Uncle Bi and Feifei couple from Hong Kong......

The current teacher Zhao Lirong has become famous in the Spring Festival Gala, and has just won the Tokyo Film Festival and the domestic Hundred Flowers Film Queen by "New Year".

Ge You also became popular all over the country in an instant from last year's phenomenal TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department".

But then again, the salaries of these two people are quite cheap at this time. That's between 150,000 and 200,000.

Wait until next year, Lao Mouzi invited Uncle Ge to play the leading role in "Alive". Before the negotiation, Lao Mouzi hinted that Ge You - the producer is the wronged leader from Hong Kong, and when the time comes, try to shout as much as possible?

Uncle Ge understands in seconds. So he racked his brains and shouted a super high price - 600,000!

Unexpectedly, the producer didn't say a word and signed the contract directly.

Because the producer made a budget according to Hong Kong's salary - a top comedian in the mainland can be regarded as half of Hong Kong's top comedians, that is, half a weekly star! So they prepared 2 million! Now it's only 600,000? Idiots don't hurry up and sign up.

The invitation to the film of both of them was fairly simple. Teacher Zhao herself is very good at talking, and she has already been contacted here in the metaverse. And Uncle Ge's father, Mr. Ge Cunzhuang, is one of the old artists of Beijing Film Studio. In the previous meeting, Li Yuan had already asked Mr. Ge to send a message.

Now there are not so many cats in the mainland film and television industry. There is no need for a contract at all, and a verbal agreement like this is usually negotiated.

and "Rich and Powerful Inside" (the name of the new film), the production budget is 4.8 million, and the publicity budget is 1 million.

Due to the selection of Gao Zhisen and Gao Dao, he must bring part of his team, so he spent an additional 1.5 million. In addition, the cost of filming in the mainland increased by about 1 million, so this investment is quite "amazing".

"Liaozhai Flower Fairy" is ready to be directed by the crooked Sun Shupei. Maybe many people haven't heard of this name, but as long as you talk about the director of "Huanzhu Gege", you should know who he is, right?

And Director Sun also had a work before - "Bao Qingtian".

Right! In the original historical line, Director Sun has always been a TV drama director. What he is good at is costume idol dramas.

At this time, the director of commercial films in the mainland? Not really! can only invite foreign aid from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Why did you invite Sun Shupei and Sun Dao? Without him! Just because of the divine drama "Returning the Pearl"!

Because the current special effects technology is still very immature, at most it is to hang Weiya, so Li Yuan actually doesn't have much expectations for this "Flower Fairy". It is nothing more than a foreshadowing for future special effects blockbusters.

Therefore, the production budget is 1.5 million and the publicity budget is 500,000. In addition to the 7 or 800,000 yuan that is all-inclusive by Beijing Film Studio, the others are the salaries of Sun Shupei and Sun Director, as well as the salaries of Hong Kong martial arts.

As for the actors? Anyway, Jiang Wenli, Jiang Qinqin, and Liu Dan are ......, and they all go to labor and management together!

All right! Li Yuan admitted that this group of lonely people was so annoying that his BP machine was about to be blown up. Anyway, it doesn't add up to much pay.

……

After deciding, Li Yuan arranged specific things. The signing of the contract, the preparation of the crew......

However, it didn't take long for Huang Jiaojiao to call: "Wow! Director Li, you finally extended your claws to my movie? ”

"Alas! What's the solution? If Brother Yuan doesn't come out, the world is restless! ”

"I'm sorry, you big-headed ghost." Huang Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Say that this film will send us to Cannes?" If you can't make it then, watch your head! Hum! ”

"Don't worry! I promise to complete the task. ”

"Are you really that sure?" Hearing that Li Yuan was full of confidence, Huang Jiaojiao hesitated a little.

"Of course I'm not sure. But I'm a newbie, so it's okay if I smash it. Hahaha! ”

"Li Yuan!" Huang Jiao trembled squeamishly.

"Meow!"

"Did you hear that? If you don't shoot well, I'll let the little ball bite you——! ”

"Meow?"

"Also, there is bad news, the theater owner came to me, "Infernal Affairs" is a local Hong Kong film, so they forget it. For the follow-up film, they canceled their cooperation with us. It's ......"

"Is it bend?" Li Yuan frowned slightly.

The new boss of this cinema line should have bent capital behind it. They shouldn't be able to withstand the pressure either.

"I guess that's it! This kind of thing is not said publicly, anyway, everyone who should know knows. Huang Jiaojiao also seemed to be holding back the fire in her belly, "A group of bastards, I don't care about politics at all, old lady." Why do all the bad luck come to me? This is the case with the CNC machine tool in front, and what is the case with the current film? Li Yuan, quickly think of a way for this palace! ”

"It's easy. Since they stuck our necks in the theater chain, then we built our own theater line. Li Yuan was also very annoyed. I didn't expect the theater to have a moth. mmp！

Previously, because of economic considerations, the theater chain was abandoned. Since you still have to force labor and management now? Then labor and management don't care.

"Self-built cinemas? Do you mean acquisitions? ”

"There is no need to buy, now the price has already reached sky-high outside, and it is difficult to buy it if you have money." Li Yuan thought for a few seconds, "That's it!" You find a place, the location is better, that is, the fourth or fifth floor of the shopping mall, let's come to a small hall to play, and get him a dozen big screens. ”

"You wait." Huang Jiaojiao didn't seem to understand much, "The movie theater is on the fourth or fifth floor? Still in the mall? Who's going to see this? And also? What is a small hall? ”

Hey? Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Jiaojiao, aren't your movie theaters in Hong Kong like this?" Is it still played in the Grand Theater? ”

"You're huhu, aren't you? If it's not in the Grand Theater, where else can it be? ”
