this man is not calm

Chapter 8

It's right to turn around for a long time, but the film and television industry is too closed, and there are liars everywhere.

Even laymen can't find a way out if they want to be cheated.Serious asymmetry of information is unilateral cutting of leeks.The brothers of the Nan family are not afraid of losing money, but they are afraid of throwing down mountains of gold and silver without making a sound.

The two brothers have been in the capital for these years. They say they have deep connections, but in fact they are only wandering around the periphery and have not penetrated into the core at all.

"I can't find a chance to get involved, Xiao Shang, you have to be considerate of your big uncle, there is really nothing you can do. Your family is full of stories, and existence itself is a huge gold mine. It depends on who is qualified to dig it."

That being said, it's a pity that the old guy has never died, so the right to portrait cannot be left aside, and those who want to do it can only stare blankly.

Now, that person... finally let go.

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang replied.

"I have roughly read the script, and the details have yet to be considered."

"As long as you agree to develop the subject matter, Xiao Shang, thank you very much, Uncle Da Biao."

There is no problem with the general direction, it is a matter of money and favor.

In order to build a relationship, Nan Dabiao really worked hard; as for favors, the Nan family brothers thought they had a good relationship with Lao Jin and Xiaojin, and they were closer than outsiders anyway.

If the cooked duck flew away, Nan Dabiao might as well drown in the toilet.

"Don't, don't, Uncle Da Biao, we are all family friends, so don't be too polite."

Nan Dabiao is an acquaintance, and if he wants to cheat the Jin family and his son, he has to consider the gains and losses.Working with him is always more reliable than a stranger.

People who can make a living in today's film and television industry, whether they have real skills or not is another matter for the time being, and their mouths must be sharp enough.

Manager Lin and Director Niu are people in this way. No matter how Jin Shang has prejudice against them, it really warms people's hearts when they flatter them.

If Lin Jun still has a bit of the reserved and arrogance of a successful person, Niu Jiangen is well versed in the routine of talking to people and talking nonsense, and he can make a name for himself. In addition to being really talented, he chats at the wine table and is active. The skill of the atmosphere is also breathtaking.

In a word, people in society have a life to live.

From the small talk of several people, Jin Shang knew that Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen were introduced by Nandalong, and Nandabiao decided to cooperate.

In the past, he couldn't find a way out, and couldn't even see Huang Zhengkuo's face, so he could only ask his grandpa to tell his grandma to hand over the script for reference.After Jin Shang had good news, he couldn't wait to come to confirm.

In fact, the overall development method was not done by Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen. Some people planned to do it many years ago. They were stuck in the barrier of portrait rights and couldn't make any progress. During this period, several small teams who tried to take advantage of it died before they fell into the country. In the hands of the media.

Lin Jun, who was in charge of promoting this matter, found the well-known director Niu Jiangen, and then followed the relationship between the brothers of the Nan family to find him.

Jiangshan Media, where Lin Jun works, is actually a film and television company restructured from the production department of a local TV station. In the tide of separation of production and broadcasting, it has both sides, and gradually grows bigger, attracting a group of talents in the industry.

Limited by the general environment, Jiangshan Media can be regarded as a mountain in the field of TV drama production, but has not made much achievements in the field of film production and publicity.

Niu Jiangen is a director who started out making art films. He has been in the industry for many years. His daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, barely gaining some status. A few years ago, he made two low-budget films. Won a few big and small awards.

In the past two years, the film industry has seen a wave of commercialization, and Niu Jiangen, who eats and drinks under the name of an artist, is also thinking about transformation.

Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen got online, and it's not a day or two since they formed a group to fool around.One side has money and resources, and the other side has fame and status, and each can be regarded as taking what they need.

It's just that the entry point is hard to find, so... I focus on Lao Huang's house.

In this era, there is no decent commercial film born in China.Before that, making movies was to meet political and artistic needs, and it had nothing to do with making money or not.

There is no such thing as box office, both art and business.

Radio, TV and newspaper reports on movies are basically limited to the number of people watching the movie, public response and word of mouth, social effects and educational significance.

To put it bluntly, domestic filmmakers have not figured out how to proceed in the future.If you want to make a commercial film to make money, firstly you are afraid that you will lose the aura of the artist above your head; secondly, you don’t know how to make a movie that the masses love; finally, few people who are taken advantage of will invest real money in making a movie, or a commercial film that is not artistic at all. .

In view of this, Niu Jiangen, who was determined by Jin Shang, did not understand.

Surprisingly, Director Niu and Manager Lin's lower limit still broke Jin Shang's perception of the industry.

I thought that a cultural person should be a bit decent when doing things, but the food is so ugly.

……

Half an hour later, the long-sleeved and skillful Xiao Biao took Lin Jun, Niu Jiangen, and Li Xuan to the booth outside to have a rest. Jin Shang and Nan Dabiao came to the upper booth and stood side by side against the iron railing.

"Xiao Shang, thank you just now for giving Uncle Da Biao face..."

Nan Dabiao said with a slight apology on his honest and honest face,
"Xiao Biao told me that these two people are small characters sent to throw stones and ask for directions."

"I know, it's just a bedbug who wants to take advantage of it. What kind of manager and famous director doesn't want to say anything except a mouth."

Regardless of past life or present life, Jin Shang doesn't know enough about the film and television industry, but he has some basic judgments in his two lives.

Coupled with Jin Broom's reminder from time to time, the bunch of "black air" with subjective malice spewed out of their mouths along with flattery, made Jin Shang roughly restore their plan to seven or eight.

The transition from a literary film to a commercial film is not an obvious and smooth path. Some predecessors tried to open the way, but they also summed up some experience and lessons.

The development of the times is limited, and the aesthetic level of the audience is there. It is impossible to easily cultivate a large number of movie fans with appreciation and spare money to spend.

That being the case, the mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain.

I shoot whatever the people like to watch.

The general policy must be correct, but there will always be people who want to go the wrong way.

What I want is "Wu Zetian", "Zhu Yuanzhang", "Emperor Kangxi", I can barely accept your filming of "Detective Di Renjie", "Queen of Bigfoot Horse", "Private Interview of Kangxi Weifu", but it ended up costing a lot of money , you just talk about the whole "The Legend of Ruyi Jun", "The Treasure of Ultimate Bliss", and "Ten Tortures", what is this called?

Apart from going to the next three roads, nothing else?
"I'm not in the industry, and I don't want to argue about artistic excellence, right and wrong. Manager Lin and Director Niu think that I'm easy to deceive when I'm young?"

As long as Jin Shang is coaxed well and the authorization is obtained, a lot of people who don't know where to go will be able to attract investment and sponsorship. It is a high probability that the movie will be returned before it is shot.

The big head and the others split the bills, and the rest of the money was hyped, newspapers, radio, and TV stations were all arranged, and the momentum was built, and then one or two national-level actor platforms were fooled, and a few women who wanted to get off to fame Actors, stir up scandals, set off a few scolding battles, it's very lively.

The producer spent almost all of the funds in a lavish manner, and pretended to hold a press conference and opening ceremony to give an explanation to all parties.

Do you think this is over?
After the filming started, all kinds of false accounts were flying all over the sky, 300 yuan for props and umbrellas, 600 yuan for consumables and coffee, and even the boxed lunch for group performances was 50 yuan a piece.

Those above are still small heads, insiders deceive outsiders, knowing that they are deceiving, you don't know what's wrong.

In this way, within a few days, you can report to the benefactor, saying that you have no money and need to invest more. Do you follow or not?

If the filming fails, Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen will not be at a disadvantage, they have already made a lot of money anyway.Fortunately, the filming is finished, and the quality of the finished film depends on how much conscience the producer has left.

Whether it can be released in the end, how the box office will be, other people will worry about it, they will pat their ass and leave, and go to fool the next idiot.

In case the judges of a certain film festival are blind and give a pheasant award, that would be a surprise.

Fame and fortune, why not do it?
The source of everything, what will become of Jin Shang and the people and things around him, only God knows.

"The two of them probably haven't suffered a loss before..."

Nan Dabiao is grateful to Jin Shang for not embarrassing others face to face. In the past, Xiao Jin doesn't mind letting them experience how terrifying the fighting power of "trolls" who have experienced the Internet age is.

After flicking the soot, Nan Dabiao exhaled a few puffs of smoke rings and continued:
"After so many years of reform, those who have anything to do with literature and art... are the slowest. No matter what people want to do later, there will always be seniors standing at the top and pointing, and you have no way to refute it."

Only when the Internet age comes, will there be an opportunity to change the world.

After resolving the depression in his heart, Jin Shang said to Nan Dabiao:

"Actually, making movies is not a good business. The risk is too great. You have to be stronger when making TV dramas. Why does Uncle Da Biao have to go this way? There are many ways to make money..."

"Besides making money, I want something else."

In essence, what Jin Shang and Nan Dabiao want should be the same thing, but they choose different entry points.

Gather names, gather people, gather wealth.

The film and television industry is extensive and influential, suitable for holding high and quickly increasing the right to speak, but good and evil are mixed, underwater is full of predators, and one mistake will suffer a big loss.The football circle is different. It is small and sophisticated, with many die-hard loyalists, especially Beijing Northern United, which has historical origins, is full of gimmicks, and has a fanatical and persistent fan base. Finding the right way to dig is a sustainable and stable production. Big gold mine.

Nan Dabiao said with a nostalgic look:
"My old man taught me and Xiao Biao to have a future with the Huang family since we were young. Xiao Biao doesn't take it seriously, but I believe it."

"That's why I was dragged down. I was a step slower, and I couldn't even eat shit to keep up with the hot ones."

"Haha, you boy, the bigger you are, the more poisonous your mouth will be."

"Why does Uncle Da Biao trust the Huang family? My father and I... are surnamed Jin."

"Old Huang's family is evil. Also, the surname is Jin Hao, so it's not eye-catching."

"Oh!"

Probably because he knew about some activities of the old Huang's family, such as "silent words, strange powers and gods", and burned a cold stove.

"I heard that Lao Jin went to Jiangxia a few times when he was a child, but he didn't go there afterwards. The people around him were all surnamed Huang, and he was only surnamed Jin. He probably suffered a little bit of grievance. By the way, there was no me at that time, he Nor is the surname Kim."

"Jiang Xiahuang, it's normal to be a little arrogant."

After Zhuanxu, the Miao descendants of the ancient Huang Kingdom, the great nobles of the Chu Kingdom, Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, you know?
The ancestor of Kaishen, the ancestor of our family.

It has been 2000 years since the Huang surname has revered "Jiangxia". Lao Jin, the "traitor" who changed his surname, is not in the genealogy, so why join in the fun?
Taking advantage of the slight drunkenness, the two joked a lot intermittently, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

"Those two people, how does Xiao Shang want to get rid of them?"

"I don't want to see them again, the rest... feel free. Uncle Da Biao just wants to use them to send a signal to the outside world. This time there is really something going on, and it's no longer a rumor that doesn't follow."

"Yeah. Don't hit the smiling faces, let Xiao Biao ask them to go after you decline, save some face. This kind of people may not be useful if you win over them, but it's quite annoying if you offend them. As for the script..."

"The version in their hands, without my consent, is not even as good as straw paper. Go to the Federation of Literature and Art and ask some old gentlemen to write a new one..."

"Okay. This matter... you have reason."

The grandson wrote the script for the grandfather, what's wrong?
"About the script, what are your requirements? There must be a framework, and it's easy to find someone..."

Nan Dabiao's question was actually difficult to answer. After thinking for a while, Jin Shang still gave a rough range.

"The best, of course, is a famous screenwriter, a big director, a big investment, a strong cast, and a masterpiece that will be a remarkable generation of classics decades later. You also need to spend money to run a few awards, both at home and abroad. There must be..."

"It's... a bit difficult. If you're new to the industry, how can anyone appreciate it? Most of the people who come to the door are flies like Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen who come here after smelling the smell..."

"Secondly, sacrifice artistry and rely on storytelling. I prefer absurd comedies..."

"Can it work?"

Without answering Nan Dabiao's question, Jin Shang added on his own:

"Such as the kind of performance that is obviously serious, but reveals a sense of joy. The beginning is fascinating, the process is absurd, and the ending is sad. It makes people have endless aftertaste, and I can't help but watch it again. The impression of the protagonist may not be positive. For To increase the comedy effect, appropriate cynicism is acceptable, but fabrication and smearing are not allowed."

"Ridiculous, pathetic but not hateful."

"Yes. Uncle Da Biao is indeed a person who has been in the circle for several years, and he summed it up very well."

Nan Dabiao smiled self-confidently, without boasting, and nodded calmly:
"Your request is not complicated, but most people can't write it out. I try to find someone to try, but I may not be able to guarantee that it will completely match..."

"The requirement is [-] points, the script is [-] points, and the effect of shooting [-] points is very good."

For some things, do your best, especially those who engage in artistic creation need talent and inspiration, and you can’t force it.
