Chapter 300 The debt owed must be repaid
Of course, the most important point is.
There are actually very few directors who are truly capable.
Even if it's a piece of rotten garlic, there are so many that the production company rushes to ask for it.
Dapeng is already the tallest of the shortest people.
At least people listen to persuasion, and there is no director's so-called dedication to art.
Willing to compromise for the sake of commercialization, it can be seen that many aspects of his films are deliberately designed to serve the audience.
This is a necessary quality for commercial film directors.
It's a pity that very few directors can achieve the passing line, either they are self-congratulatory, or their level is really not good.
thought that the series of Internet stalks was rotten, even if it was a comedy.
It can only be said that the audience was reluctant to step into the cinema for a while, and the production companies and theater chains also deserved it.
Xu Jia pondered the appointment of Dapeng, and looked at Dapeng who was following Miao Yuqing, showing a kind smile.
"In terms of age, I should be called Brother Peng, and in terms of seniority, I should be called a senior, but today's occasion is more formal, so I will call Director Dong." Xu Jia said with a smile.
Rao is Dong Chengpeng guessed Xu Jia's courtesy to him, and after feeling it himself, he still felt the stone in his heart, and the whole person was like eating ice on a hot day.
Feel refreshed.
No way, since the reputation of "Pancake Man" collapsed.
Although there are many people in the circle who call themselves Director Dong, they are more or less gloating.
It's a little, other people's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven and fall halfway, although they can't go up, they can't see the good feelings of others.
After all, Dong Chengpeng used to be a little artist filming "Dick Silk Man".
If you want to say that you have some abilities and connections, they are also limited.
Fly too fast and too high, don't you make others blush?
It's like Jia Ling.
After filming "Hello, Li Huanying", he participated in various variety shows as usual.
The whole person is visibly tired.
Quite simply, when a piece of meat that doesn't belong to you is eaten in your stomach.
Then be careful to be disemboweled.
Now that Dong Chengpeng has Xu Jia's respect, at least the next conversation will be half successful.
"Don't dare to be, I'm just an amateur director who got into the industry by luck, Mr. Xu here, if you have any instructions, just open your mouth." Dong Chengpeng was still cautious.
After all, he is still aware of the status gap between himself and Xu Jia.
"If the person who broke a billion in his first directorial work is still an amateur director, then I think many directors are not worthy of being called directors."
Xu Jia smiled, knowing that Dong Chengpeng was humbling himself, and praised without hesitation, "I heard that when you were filming "Pancake Man", you were still in Sohu, how do you feel after you come out to work alone?" β
That's right, the investor of "Pancake Man" is Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu.
And Dong Chengpeng was the host of Sohu at the earliest, when Zhang Chaoyang gave 20 million to shoot "Pancake Man".
I didn't expect the box office to exceed one billion in one fell swoop.
So much so that after Dong Chengpeng became famous, he actually got a basic salary of 10,000 yuan.
For wage earners, this is indeed a lot of money, but for a director who makes hundreds of millions of profits for the company, it is tantamount to humiliation.
I left the company decisively, and I thought I could show my strength.
It's a pity that reality has given him a heavy slap in the face.
Dong Chengpeng thought back to the past and sighed: "Why does Mr. Xu ask knowingly, but if you really want to say that you regret it, then I don't have it at all, I just feel sorry for the audience, after all, when filming "Pancake Man", there are actually many places that can be more perfect, and there is no need to make so many small mistakes." β
It's fart.
I'm afraid that when I made that movie, no one took it seriously.
can become a hit, it is completely the favor of fate.
However, the money made Sohu earn, and the personal debt made Dong Chengpeng carry it.
Such a film, because of word of mouth, has been pressing him, so that even if the quality of the new films in the future is good, it will affect the box office to a greater or lesser extent.
I regret it, I can't really talk about it.
After all, Dong Chengpeng went from a small host to after quitting the company, he acted in movies with Fan Bingbing, even if it was just a supporting actor, it was much better than before.
"Are you interested in continuing on the path of directing? I think you have the talent. β
Xu Jia did not directly invite Dong Chengpeng to join Jiaxing, but only asked him if he wanted to be a director.
Dong Chengpeng naturally didn't have a second word, and said excitedly: "Of course I'm interested, I came to see you for this, if I can, I am willing to join Jiaxing, but with Mr. Xu, you will send you." β
With this ability to speak, otherwise he would be a host.
And Dong Chengpeng is not only talented in directing, but also talented in acting.
"Beneficiary", his performance as the leading actor was good, saving the senses of many audiences.
"For talented people like you, we won't give too many restrictions, this time I called you to sign an exclusive director agreement, we promise to give you three director contracts, but the script is up to us to decide, of course, you must also have the right to make corresponding suggestions."
"In addition, if you are interested, you can also make an appointment with the artist to Jiaxing, there is our special agency responsible for the operation, I believe it will be better than you alone."
Xu Jia has always believed in the principle that everyone earns money together, especially in the entertainment industry.
It was already at a moment when capital was pouring in and everyone was impetuous.
If the conditions are not enough, it is no wonder that people change jobs.
Dong Chengpeng's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, it is the first time he has seen a boss, and he is so conscientious.
Compared with the contract of Sohu and the treatment given by other companies later.
Well, not twice as much.
It can only be said that some people deserve to make money, and some companies deserve to become bigger and stronger.
"No problem, it's just some details, I think it needs to be discussed." Although Dong Chengpeng said that his heart was already in Jiaxing, he was not completely blind, and the contract had to be carefully looked at before signing.
As for Director Feng and Hua Yi, who contacted him earlier.
Sorry, we don't know each other, don't let Mr. Xu and Jiaxing misunderstand, okay?
"Well, that's as it should be."
Xu Jia laughed heartily, patted Dong Chengpeng's shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down.
While making tea, he said: "We should be our own people now, do you have any plans for the next movie?" Or do you want the company to help you pick a book? β
Dong Chengpeng was flattered, feeling that he was treated just now, and he was still an outsider.
Now the boss makes tea himself, and he is his own person.
"I figured out a book myself, it's about bands and dreams, and I took it to other production companies to see it, and I think it's a bit old-fashioned, and the theme is niche......"
Ugly words, he thinks it's better to say it in the front, although he prefers the script he wrote himself.
"In my place, there are no clichΓ©s and niches, only intentions and carelessness."
Xu Jia glanced at Dong Chengpeng and said meaningfully: "Movies with heart are not good at the box office, at least the audience is willing to buy it and has a good reputation, and movies that don't care about it, no matter how high the box office is, the debt will have to be repaid sooner or later." β
This point should be clear to the other party.
