At first, I just wanted to make money

Before, we said that the film industry is very closed!

Closed until Wanda started making movies, there was no experienced filmmaker at all, only newcomers...

Of course, it was also because of the bold use of newcomers that it brought vitality to the circle!

After all, how did the old-school director stand out back then?
If you trace back upwards, it is basically a circle...

The directors of the fifth generation, chirping and crooked, worrying about the country and the people, moaning without illness, wish to imprint their era of nuclear war into every work.

Grasping an aspect of the era, I shot desperately, yes, the shooting is very touching, the picture is very good, the softness of the literati, all the twists and turns, brother Wen, going to the mountains and going to the countryside...

Tossing and turning in my heart.

Resentment, unwillingness, confusion, fermentation, sour smell, and then pretending to be deep are faintly leaked in the movie.

I am afraid that the audience will not understand, and I am afraid that the audience will understand.

But if you ask him to think more grandly, I'm sorry, he doesn't have this ability anymore, their life experience is like this, there is no more...

To put it bluntly, a group of second-generation people in the pampered circle of the city experienced life for half a century...

Then those of us who grew up in the dirt should stop living!

By the way, it's not time for newcomers to make their debut at this stage, and Feng Xiaogang is the only one making commercial films...

In other words, if you want to enter the circle, you must first find someone who is willing to lead you!
Those who are in the energy business actually have mines at home!
Last name is Chen...

Under 40 years old, wearing glasses, gentle, not at all like a rich man!
Although he is a newcomer, he can't afford to spend money. In just half a year, he has become the largest theater chain in northern Shaanxi.

When we met, we drank a little, didn't talk about getting into the industry, but talked about gossip in the circle - their circle!

Zhao Linhai took the initiative to talk about the coal boss's adoption of female stars. Boss Chen said that this is imitating his predecessors: "In the past, many Shanxi business owners had adopted actresses..."

That's how it is, Shen Xudong and Zhao Linhai are together, running for publishing, Shen Xudong can't drink...

Although Zhao Linhai is not very good at drinking, but the two of them have a support together!

Shen Xudong became interested: "Take care of an actor?"

"A friend is here, pull him over to the platform, and yell at the old man. Does he have any face? In addition, the actor's face and waist are very good, and he is young - which official can not love it? Do business Well, of course you can't do without officials!"

"How to pack it?"

"It used to be called a supporting role, and it cost a few hundred taels to watch a play... Now it's almost the same, sponsoring concerts, sponsoring movies and so on! Anyway, it's just giving money!"

Zhao Linhai nodded: "Damn, that's what happened!"

Boss Chen sighed: "The transaction of money and power, and the transaction of money and sex have been like this since ancient times, and there is no exception."

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "There are also those who just want to be a guest in the curtain!"

"I know!" Boss Chen spread his hands: "I just can't figure it out. It took me hundreds of years to marry Miss Cao...why bother?"

"Oiran, the price is totally different!"

Hearing this, Zhao Linhai grinned: "There is a story in our school that a director managed to get a sponsorship, and the investor is a coal boss.

After drinking for three rounds, the boss asked cryptically: "Who is the heroine? Is it convenient for Fang to be familiar with it?"

The director panicked and replied: "Boss, didn't I tell you that this is a documentary!"

"What's wrong with the documentary! Isn't the heroine beautiful?" The boss was a little impatient.The director became anxious when he heard this: "Boss, we are filming monkeys!" Haha..."

Boss Chen also smiled, and then changed the subject: "Both brothers, do you think it's possible to do movies?"

Shen Xudong glanced at Zhao Linhai, and then said: "It depends on what you want to do. If it's just a small fight, I suggest you stop entering the industry..."

"What kind of small fights?"

"Three to five billion and three to five billion..."

"Three or five billion is not enough?"

"Our business is different from the general industry. Except for star remuneration, outsiders don't know all the money... It's too easy to fool outsiders. Let me give you an example. If I tell you that I am going to ask Li Lianlian to make a movie, the cost is 6000 million, Do you vote or not?"

"An action movie?"

"Ok!"

"Then I will definitely vote!" Boss Chen said with a face that I am not easy to fool: "Li Lian has appeal in the field of action movies!"

Shen Xudong looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, you voted for 6000 million, and when it's about to start up, I'll tell you that the cost has risen to [-] million, do you want to add money?"

"...[-] million... is fine! I heard that Li Lianlian can sell overseas copyrights!"

Shen Xudong said again: "In the middle of the filming, I told you that the crew ran out of money and needed an additional 5000 million... Do you want to add it? If you don't, the previous filming will be invalidated!"

Boss Chen was stunned for a moment: "I..."

Shen Xudong ignored him, and continued: "...shooting towards the end, post-production, release promotion, distribution...every piece may require additional investment from you!"

"Then I won't vote..."

"If you don't vote, the previous money will not come back!"

Hearing this, Boss Chen probably understood. He was silent for a while, and then asked: "...Is your business so deep?"

"It's quite deep, and we are very united internally, and we don't lie to the poor!"

"...What if you only invest in low-budget films?"

"The chances of being in vain are higher!" Zhao Linhai answered, and said sincerely: "You have money to invest in movies, so why don't you donate that money, at least you can get a good reputation!"

"...Then let me think about it."

"You are now making a steady profit as a theater chain. The film industry is developing, and the box office data is increasing. The theater chain's bill is 10% more than the movie studio's bill..."

Boss Chen nodded: "I thought so too, but seeing your "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" making a lot of money makes me itchy!"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "Nine out of ten projects are yellow...Don't talk about others, just me. What you see are only successful projects, but I know how many projects have been aborted...Because the screenwriter is the first to receive advance payment. Many times it is It’s normal for the project to go down the drain when the advance payment is made.”

"You still have this kind of experience?"

"Of course!"

"What about Brother Shen?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...It's all the same, I followed Zhao Linhai into the industry!"

……

I feel that Boss Chen is a wonderful person, and he left contact information with each other. After Shen Xudong said that he would find him if he didn't have enough money to make a movie...

It's just a little uncomfortable - there is no accompanying guest.

Before saying goodbye, Zhao Linhai made a hint, and Boss Chen shook his head: "I'm only a theater company, and I don't sign female stars!"

"It doesn't have to be a female star! Don't you have local beauty pageants and model competitions in this place?"

"what?"

"No, you can sponsor one! It would be more convenient to take them out on errands..."

Boss Chen looked at Shen Xudong suspiciously: "I've never heard of you being so good!"

"Don't look at me, I don't understand this!"

Zhao Linhai explained: "We are not good, but some people like this... If you want to get through the circle, this is essential!"

"Understood, understood..."

Boss Chen originally planned to take the two of them to broaden their horizons—to meet Auntie Mi Zhi.

Suidehan, Auntie Mizhi, originated from a famous proverb in northern Shaanxi. Diaochan, the beauty of the world during the Three Kingdoms period, was from Mizhi, and Lu Bu, who is both talented and beautiful, was from Jiuyuan, Wuyuan County...

Too bad they don't have time.

I have to go to Sichuan to see the theater manager...
