Director’s Legend

Chapter 126: [Director generation]

"Ajun, this is Gao Zhisheng, a high-achieving student from Southern California University. Soon after returning from the United States, you can test him yourself." As a producer, Wang Wei is not only responsible for the budget and casting of actors, but also looks for Shao Shuaijun. Assistant. This wretched-looking Gao Zhisheng with glasses and a traitorous head is the assistant director recommended by Wang Wei.

"Hello director, I am your fan."

Gao Zhisheng smiled brilliantly, bowed and held Shao Shuaijun's hand with both hands, shaking vigorously: "I am very happy to be with the director next to an international director like you, shooting a movie. Please rest assured, I am at the University of Southern California It is the director, who will be able to do the work of the deputy director, and share the heavy responsibilities for you. You can leave it to me!"

Shao Shuaijun withdrew his hand calmly. He couldn't stand someone who was too enthusiastic, and he could stand it if it was a beautiful woman.

"Your name is Gao Zhisheng, graduated from the Department of Director of USC? Do you have experience?"

"Yes, there have been. When I was a student, I worked as a cutscene and prop in the American drama "Lost". After returning to China, I followed several crews. I heard that the director was recruiting an assistant director, so I recommended myself to Sister Wang."

"Lost"?

Which American drama is currently very popular?

Shao Shuaijun couldn't help looking at Gao Zhisheng's eyes: "I will test you a few questions, and I will keep you if I get the correct answers." At the moment, he asked Gao Zhisheng's common sense and judgments necessary for several deputy directors, but he didn't expect this wretched guy. , Open your mouth and come, not unfamiliar at all, it seems to have the foundation.

Immediately, Gao Zhisheng was included in the crew.

The second assistant director recommended by Wang Wei is called Li Fangfang. He sounds like Li Bingbing and Li Xiuxiu’s sister. In fact, it doesn’t matter. Li Fangfang is a bit older than Li Xiuxiu and looks just like Teacher Wu. She is a graduate of New York University Film School, and is an alumnus of Director Li Yu.

"Li Fangfang, another high-achieving student." Shao Shuaijun held his resume and couldn't help feeling, how come a University of Southern California has just come, and another New York University has come. The film schools of these two universities are both ranked first in the world. Countless great directors were born here: "Tell me about your experience?"

Li Fangfang looks average, but has a hearty personality: "Hello director, I am Li Fangfang. I published "Don't Cry at Seventeen" in 1994. It was later adapted into a TV series and broadcast on CCTV. At that time, I was just in high school. I was admitted to both USC and the New York University Film School in 1999. I chose New York University. I wrote many scripts and novels and published them in major newspapers. I also had experience working in American TV dramas."

Amazing!

Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at Li Fangfang. This is definitely a talent. Moreover, Shao Shuaijun suddenly remembered that he had seen Li Fangfang. In his previous life, not long before he planned his new movie, about 2012, he attended a new director exchange meeting in mainland China and met Li Fangfang at that time.

At that exchange meeting, it was mainly a gathering between the sixth-generation directors and the new-generation directors. At the meeting, someone suggested that the eighth-generation directors have already appeared, and the seventh-generation directors can be named. As a result, Wang Xiaoshuai, the sixth-generation director, said: "Directors who have not made serious films cannot be called "generations." Because their films lack artistic flavor and cultural commitment."

Wang Xiaoshuai also said: "After the sixth generation of directors, there will be no other filmmakers who can make a difference. There is no so-called seventh generation because they have no commonality."

The apprentice of Xie Fei (the fourth-generation director), the former director of Nortel’s Directing Department, Director Wan Li also said: "The seventh generation has not yet formed. How come the eighth generation? The current'generation' does not exist, more It’s an independent director. When we were in school, we also had a “seventh generation alliance”, which was to find a place for ourselves. When we say “generation”, we must have a group of people and a group of works. We divide the director into “generations” It’s more about finding a word after the fact to count them and summarizing them. When it comes to the first few generations, it’s better to say “70 offspring” and “80 offspring”."

As a result, there has been no statement of the seventh generation of directors since then. Directors born in the 1970s, such as Ning Hao and Yang Shupeng, are all classified as new generation directors. There is only one exception: Lu Chuan, born in 1971, is classified as a sixth-generation director.

Li Fangfang is a new-generation female director, who has been recommended by Wang Xiaoshuai and others. It seems that he has made a movie called "Post-80s", and it is said that the box office is not bad.

Now that she knew her future achievements, Shao Shuaijun naturally smiled: "Very well, welcome to join the cast of "33 Days of Broken Relationship"."

After the deputy director was in place, the crew of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was officially launched.

Shao Shuaijun began to gather actors, come over to set makeup and rehearse.

The film investment is very small, there is no support from big stars, and there are no special scenes and shots. Therefore, the plan is to invest only 10 million yuan and shoot in the capital. For Shao Shuaijun's new movie, many film companies that wanted to get a share of the pie came to the door, but Shao Shuaijun strongly refused.

His contacts have now developed. Zhang Hongsen may be appointed as the director of the film within the year. The downstream Wanda Cinemas line is in full swing and the management philosophy of Shao Shuaijun is introduced. Cinema companies are aggressively expanding to join theaters and may be in the top ten in the country by the end of the year. Strong cinema.

For theater companies, it is inevitable to have a firm grasp. Therefore, Li Xiuxiu puts most of his energy on theater companies, striving to train a group of qualified managers. Even if Wanda wants to kick Shao Shuaijun in the future, with the support of these managers, Shao Shuaijun can quickly find a new theater to cooperate.

China’s movie theaters are not run by Wanda.

With such confidence, he is not afraid of others wearing small shoes. On the contrary, holding the Wanda Cinema Line, he will show these film companies' faces in the future.

After dismissing the film company that invested in the door, Yi Jianmei, who took office as a new official, started contacting companies that wanted to advertise. With Du Lala's success, more and more companies focused on "33 Days of Broken Relationship." However, Shao Shuaijun absorbed Du Lala's awareness of being scolded, and did not plan to plant advertisements in the movie.

Therefore, six advertisements were finally determined, with a total price of 21 million. The film has not yet started shooting and has already begun to make money.

Turning over the ledger, Yi Jianmei sighed: "It's no wonder that countless directors have devoted themselves to the film industry. As long as they become famous, making money is as simple as printing money."

"Sister Mei, not every movie can make money without making it, and I won't let my movies have a large number of advertisements. This kind of thing can be done occasionally, and if it is done too much, the audience will be disgusted."

Shao Shuaijun said while writing the sub-scenario script: "By the way, how did the commercial for "33 Days of Broken Love" do? I shot it very quickly, and it is estimated that the filming will be finished by the end of the year and will be released during Valentine's Day next February.

"Don't worry, "33 Days of Broken Love" has initially become popular after you and Xu Jinglei's blog promotion. I plan to cooperate with the publishing house to publish novels, and then contact the new wolf website to hold a video event of "Broken Love Story". Collect the short stories of all those who have lost love, and thoroughly sizzle the movie. The last thing is to increase the exposure of newcomers. You also need to establish an advertising company as soon as possible. Newcomers need advertising to increase exposure and income."

"You can discuss with Li Xiuxiu, I want to make a movie, no time."
