The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 40 I really hope the director falls from the sky
Well, fishing or something is just a joke after all.

Making a film is a creative endeavor that requires passion.

But not all participants will be full of passion, some people just participate to earn a salary, some people participate because they are bored, and some people even just want to eat the free box lunch of the crew...

If the main creators are fishing, these people will only be more creative by fishing.

Fortunately, both Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing are passionate partners who have an interest in the film, so Wang Wei was able to sneak in.

In addition, it is not an easy task for him to complete the big data transformation of Dunhuang's publicity and distribution department.

First of all, it is not easy enough to establish a corresponding data collection network and cultivate talents who can analyze the data.

Not to mention, how to use the analyzed data also needs to be studied.

Fortunately, after listening to Wang Wei's description, Lao Wang was still very interested in it, and offered to find someone to study it.

But do you think it will be free?
As soon as Lao Wang left, Assistant Ding walked in again with a full work log.

——Don’t forget that Wang Wei is also famous in the other three projects in Dunhuang!

"Toy Story" has been confirmed to be co-produced by Dunhuang, Weibo Technology and Father Shen. Wang Wei needs to pay attention to the progress from time to time;
"My Sassy Girl" and "Charlotte's Annoyance" need to recruit directors as soon as possible. After having a director, they will match the corresponding behind-the-scenes team and even the main actors.

Then Wang Wei discovered that a good director is a scarcer resource than a good actor!

What's more deadly is that the bad influence of Dunhuang cheating three directors in succession in the past few years still exists today.

Oh, no, it should be four. The last disaster movie cheated two of them at once, and one of them was sent to the "pit" to sleep forever.

The big hit of "Peking Holiday" can restore the actors' confidence in Dunhuang, but it can't eliminate the director's shadow of Dunhuang.

Who knows whether it depends on Wang Wei's luck to be safe?Young people, the firepower is strong, and the evil spirits dare not approach.

No matter how famous they are, these two projects cannot be regarded as Wang Wei's projects.

——Don't laugh, there are many people in the circle who believe in this, and you can't tell whether it's a guilty conscience or a guilty conscience.

That's not to say there wasn't a single director who was interested.

After Dunhuang issued a director recruitment announcement, several second- and third-tier directors took the initiative to contact them, but when they saw their quotations, good guy, it was higher than the budget of the entire project, and it was only short of saying "I want to take advantage of the fire" on their faces.

The others either have no qualifications or relevant directing experience;

This once again gave Wang Wei a sap.

Don't float!

——Don't talk about creating the future, Dunhuang is still far from returning to its former momentum!

At least the former Dunhuang didn't dare to say that there were a lot of people who responded, but it definitely wouldn't fail to recruit even a few directors.

However, there is finally some good news today.

Ding's expressionless assistant reported in a non-fluctuating tone: "The recruitment of the director of "Sassy Girl" continues to be difficult, but "Charlotte" has a more suitable candidate, and the director is Kim Jae-ku."

"Gold in the vault? Sounds familiar." Wang Wei tilted his head.

"The year before last, when he took over a project in Dunhuang, he was hit by a car." Assistant Ding said concisely.

Oh, it's the project that turned the disaster film into a "big disaster", and Kim Jae-ku is the second unit of the unlucky director.

Wang Wei couldn't help being suspicious: "You don't think it's appropriate to make up for him?"

Assistant Ding didn't blink: "He has made many small-budget independent films, including a comedy, which is similar in style to "Charlotte". I have prepared the video tape."

"Yeah. I'll take a look later, and then you help me arrange an interview with him." Wang Wei confessed.

"I have already asked Director Jin, he is free this afternoon."

Wang Wei stood up and couldn't help but praise: "Tsk, you are so considerate, what should I do without you as an assistant."

"I like a salary increase, or a bonus." Assistant Ding said emotionally.

Wang Wei almost staggered.

He gradually understood the reason why this guy had stayed with his previous employers for a short time.

But I don't know why, but he still admires this unfeeling assistant.

Well, it's not impossible to consider a salary increase.

……

Jin Zaiku doesn't even think about salary, let alone bonuses.

He just desperately needed a chance to direct.

Although his name is Jin Zaiku, there is no "ku" in his family, let alone "jin".

He got up step by step from a small assistant on the set. After accumulating some contacts, he got a few small investments and made a few independent films.

Well, I haven't won an award, I haven't had a box office hit, and I haven't lost money from investors in the end, it's just about the same level.

Of course, he was not willing to be at the same level all his life, so he took a gamble and found connections to join Dunhuang's large-scale disaster film project, becoming an assistant director to continue to accumulate qualifications.

The director of the film crew died of a heart attack. Others said it was bad luck; he didn't believe in evil, seized this excellent opportunity and finally took over a big production, and then...Tianniang was hit by a car.

Really bad luck.

What's even more tragic is that although Dunhuang is notorious as a producer, they are also considered "unlucky people" for the directors and leading actors who stepped on the pit.

After recovering from his injuries, he realized that let alone big productions, even the small investments that he had a good relationship with before could not be obtained. The investors at most could meet each other, chat a few words, simply flip through his script, and immediately serve tea. guest!
To put it bluntly, his Lao Jin is neither a peerless genius, nor has he made investors a lot of money, who can't invest in it, why bother to take risks for him?

This once made him grit his teeth with hatred towards Dunhuang, until he heard the news that Dunhuang wanted to recruit a director.

The other directors were waiting and watching, but he, who had been mistreated by Dunhuang, came to recommend himself instead.

Because there are no more options.

In the conference room in Dunhuang, when he saw Wang Wei coming in, he stood up abruptly, bowed his waist and said, "Director Wang, hello, I'm Jin Zaiku."

Although Wang Wei in front of him is too young, at this moment, from his posture, to his expression, to his heart, he is absolutely respectful.

He has achieved results that he can't even dream of with just one movie. Regardless of his luck or ability, he is not qualified to rely on the old to sell the old.

The most important thing is that he is the boss of Dunhuang, and he is rich if he is rich.

Instead, Wang Wei was taken aback by his respectful attitude, and said helplessly, "Director Jin, please sit down, don't be so nervous."

Jin Zaiku sat down on the sofa opposite Wang Wei with a smiling face, but he still didn't dare to sit on the porcelain. Although his buttocks were against the sofa, his upper body was straight.

Wang Wei had no choice but to get straight to the point: "Director Jin, have you read the script of "Charlotte Annoyance"? First, tell me, what is your overall idea?"

Jin Zaiku didn't answer right away. He thought for a while before slowly saying: "The script is a good script. The good thing is that it looks like a farce, but it makes people feel a sense of reality."

"Oh?" Wang Wei smiled, "This is interesting, let's talk about it."

Jin Zaiku seemed to be greatly encouraged, and he was about to reveal all his thoughts that had been brewing for a long time: "The routine of the script is very common, that is, let a low-level person who does everything, eats everything, and has nothing left, suddenly encounters an opportunity to rise to the sky in one step."

"The reaction of the little people is very real. Whether it is the best thing that can't be obtained, or the awakening of Nan Keyi's dream, it can be said to be very vulgar, but it is definitely the reflection of most people's hearts."

Wang Wei nodded with a smile and said nothing.

Kim Jae-ku continued: "For a farce to be filmed well, it is necessary to grasp the boundary between seriousness and humor. In addition to the director's control of the rhythm, a good comedian must have strong empathy and can Let the audience laugh until the end is tears."

Wang Wei suddenly said: "I listen to what you mean, if you are asked to shoot, do you have a favorite candidate?"

Jin paused in the library, he didn't know if it was a trap, but he still made up his mind and said bravely: "Yes, I read the script as if it was a bit of a stage play style, and I immediately thought of Shen Yan, and he also He was born in a stage play, and he is especially able to interpret the sad side of the character besides joy."

Wang Wei smiled again: "Isn't it easy for Shen Yan to invite you?"

Shen Yan is a late blooming comedian in China. He is currently very popular, and he must have received a lot of scripts.

When Jin Zaiku saw that there was a door, he lifted his spirits and said: "I have a little friendship with Shen Yan, and I have a certain degree of confidence that he will take over this drama."

Wang Wei nodded slightly, thinking at the same time.

He had seen Kim Jae-koo's previous works, including that comedy with a somewhat similar style.

Although due to the limited investment scale, the setting is very rough, but the ability to tell a good story is still there.

As for that comedy, although the jokes are not dense, it is not the kind of awkward laugh that makes you giggle, but basically blends into the plot.

On the whole, this is a mature director who has a high probability of not making bad movies, but don't expect to make amazing ones.

However, Wang Wei's positioning of "Charlotte Annoyance" is just a comedy movie that can make people laugh, and such a director is enough.

It would definitely be a surprise if Shen Yan could still join him.

The last thing is, Dunhuang made him so miserable before, so he should make up for it if he has a chance.

Jin Zaiku looked at Wang Wei thinking quietly, his brows seemed to frown, and his heart was beating non-stop.

When Wang Wei raised his head and was about to announce the result, his heart jumped into his throat.

Wang Wei stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Then, Director Jin, welcome to the "Charlotte Annoyance" project."

Jin Zaiku stood up and held Wang Wei's hand tightly with both hands, almost crying with joy: "Thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity!"

Wang Wei could feel his excitement, and sighed inwardly, just like his former self, what he longed for most was someone to provide him with an opportunity.

Let's just hope he can turn that desire into results.

Later, the company will discuss the specific details with him, so Wang Wei will not participate.

He returned to the office and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, the director of one project has been settled, and there is another one."

"There are two more! "Toy Story" also needs to find a director." Assistant Ding reminded.

Gan, it really is.

Moreover, the director of an animated film, especially the director of the world's first 3D animated film, is even more difficult to find.

Wang Wei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Director, director, I really hope that a few directors will fall from the sky, so that I can get rid of the remaining two projects at once..."

I still want to lose my daughter-in-law in the sky, so I'm not greedy, just one will do.Assistant Ding slandered silently.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a director who fell, and once he fell, there were two.

And the director's big gift bag came from Shen Zhenyi who casually wandered around the campus.

……

　The 2 rounds of recommendation officially started in the early morning, family members, please support it~~~
