At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 559

Shen Xudong's recruitment of a personal assistant is not a big deal to him.

But for the circle, especially for those young people who have movie dreams, it is a shortcut...

Shen Xudong!

Everyone wants to follow in the footsteps of successful people and speed up their progress by the way.

You can definitely learn a lot from close contact with Shen Xudong.

Moreover, it is said that the reason why Shen Xudong recruited an assistant...

The main thing is that an assistant director is needed—the assistant director of "Rise to Fame"!

"Being Famous" Hey, a group building of the big shots in the Beijing circle.

If after this...

Many directors started as assistants first, such as Chen Kexin, Chen Desen...

Therefore, most of the applicants in this batch are studying directing, or are interested in movies.

Shen Xudong's requirements are very simple, no gender restrictions, know some movies, not an idiot...

Of course, if you have some education and look good, it will definitely be a plus!

I can only think about it, how many highly educated people are there in the entertainment industry?

But he heard Guo Fan, Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin from Chen Xi...

No, how does Chen Xi handle things? What I want is a soft girl, do you understand the secretary?Not a talented director!

Ma Dan, all three are talented...

Needless to say Guo Fan, Su Lun is the director of "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space", and Yin Ruoxin has "Goodbye, Boy" and "My Sister"...

Knowing that he is a talent, it is impossible for Shen Xudong to refuse...

Forget it, let them all stay, let the three of them be assistants, and by the way, go to the crew of "Rising Fame" as assistant directors...

Open another copy-top directors start as assistants!
Or: China Entertainment's Bole system, I'm lying flat!

……

Guo Fan's experience is similar to that of most dream-chasing showbiz people.

It's just that he is more sci-fi - a law student.

You are like Yang Qing, the director of "Night Club". After all, he still studied acting at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, and then was admitted to the director department of the Chinese Academy of Drama Adult Education...

You have nothing to do with film and television at all...

One can imagine how difficult it is to get into the circle.

Guo Fan joined a program group of Travel Satellite TV.

In fact, most directors are from TV program groups.

The program is very training, graphic design, copywriting, script writing, planning can all be used!
Guo Fan was born in the program group, Liu Jiangjiang ("Life Events"), Shao Yihui ("Love Myth") including Li Yu, Ma Liwen, etc. are all from the TV program group.

After all, he learned about Tianmei Media's recruitment information from a friend.

Being an assistant to Shen Xudong means that there is a great possibility of joining his circle!
What does it mean to fit into his circle?
If you want to be a director or producer, you have the opportunity.

So, he signed up immediately, went through two rounds of screening, and then got the final interview opportunity...

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Xi told him that Shen Xudong was waiting for him on Minguo Street in Huairou Film and Television Base!
He was very excited, and drove to Huairou early the next morning, and arrived at the crew of "Rising Fame"...

At this time, Shen Xudong was eating, and saw him: "Have you eaten, eat something first!"

Guo Fan sat down quickly, before he could speak, two more women came over, and Shen Xudong greeted him in the same way...

Could it be one of three?

After thinking too much, Shen Xudong had no choice at all...

All talent, packed of course!
I have to be all!

……

"I'll give you three missions. The filming of "Being Famous" will start tomorrow, and you'll follow the filming record!"

"The team was formed by myself, and the filming funds were applied to Chen Xi..."

After a busy day, while having dinner, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something, and gave him a word of advice.

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at the two girls, then pointed to himself, and asked, "...there are three of us?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes...just the three of you, follow the documentary first, and learn the process of film production by the way..."

Every movie of A Mou has an audiovisual record of the birth process, of course Shen Xudong can also come to this set...

It can not only sell to audio-visual companies to make money, but also play a role in publicity.

"Chairman Shen... are you going to admit us?"

"What's wrong, did you feel wronged by being my assistant?" After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Remember to sign the contract and the non-disclosure agreement!"

"No... just surprised... a confidentiality agreement?"

"literal meaning…"

Seeing that the three of them did not speak, Shen Xudong said again: "I know that you all have the dream of being a director, but those who enter this circle and want to become directors, few of them are willing to serve as other people's assistants permanently, as long as there is a suitable opportunity , will definitely fly solo... I will not hinder you, the time is right, if you want to be a director, I will not stop you..." After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "But not now!"

"...Thank you Director Shen!" ×3
"Eat first... After eating, you go to Chen Xi again!"

The three of them immediately lowered their heads to grab a meal—a boxed meal!
Shen Xudong himself ate box lunches.

He doesn't specialize in anything. The current crew, at least in the film crew, rarely ranks high and low. Of course, the pure play is definitely not as good as the leading role.

Su Lun interjected: "Mr. Shen, I remember you said before that 'we won't be making movies for the time being'. Why do you want to be the director yourself this time?"

"...I was so angry with a bunch of idiots, as if I didn't know how to make a movie without being a director...I have to end up directing a movie myself!"

Guo Fan also asked: "Then what do you think is the most important thing about being a director?"

"...Aesthetics and logic... For people with good aesthetics, even if there are problems with logic, the whole drama will not be ugly. Logic is more important. If a drama does not have logic, it must be a bad drama!"

Yin Ruoxin also joined and asked, "But I heard many people say that it's about the funds and the creative team?"

"...The problem of funding is easy to solve. The current film environment is very good. As long as your film is valued by someone, the investor is not a fool, and he will definitely be willing to invest... As for the creative team, I think it depends on the charm of the director himself..."

Guo Fan took the notes and wrote them down, asking, "Is there anything else?"

Shen Xudong is not hesitant to give advice: "When a new director is preparing for the early stage, he must understand what he wants. If you want to follow the route of film festivals, you have to know what kind of themes international film festivals like to see in China...

If you want to take the commercial route, you have to have a good understanding of the market... Don’t think that you can have the best of both worlds. Many of our novice directors have received college education, and each of them regards themselves as an artist or a master. They don’t even know the basic mechanism of the market. I don't understand, when I was creating, I expressed myself wishfully, but I couldn't follow the route of film festivals, and I would definitely die in the commercial market. "

"The film market is very cruel. The more mature the film market, the more cruel it is. Hollywood has three strikeouts. As long as you miss three times in a row, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the film studio!"

Shen Xudong almost answered all the questions asked by these rookies...

I don't want to teach anything, I just enjoy the pleasure of teaching others.

What a teacher!
