When he left the Beijing Film Studio, Li Yuan still had a confused expression. Because in the subsequent exchanges, he found that he could no longer get in the conversation and could only smile like an aunt and helplessly look at the group of old artists.

Discussing art?

Don't blame those old artists who seem to have no emotional intelligence. Although they are all employees of Beijing Film Studio, many of them receive state subsidies, and there is no need to look at anyone's face.

Moreover, the leaders of Beijing Film Studio are all used to it. The young generation of young people! Aren’t all artists like this?

But... Li Yuan doesn't even know how to complain. Brother, I just want to find a tool director?

There are also differences in philosophy.

Since they didn't know what a multi-line narrative structure was, Director Huang and others didn't understand it at all, and they couldn't understand it. They just applied the template that they were familiar with, which was the traditional dramatic syllogism?

Just like that, Xia Ji made eight random changes, and the changes were beyond recognition. Especially since they were a group of stubborn old men and old ladies with very stubborn ideas. They already had their own mature creative ideas.

Please! If Brother Yuan and I want to make a dramatic syllogism, why do we need to modify "Two Smoking Barrels"?

Suddenly, Li Yuan found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Since "Two Big Golden Guns" are mountain monsters, there is no precedent at all before, so it is difficult for others to understand this idea.

It is definitely impossible for mainland directors. Their thinking is too outdated, and they regard the newly introduced new wave as a treasure.

Directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan... are almost impossible. Just look at the first script written by the company? It shows that the screenwriters are also confused.

Maybe there will be a few more talented and avant-garde directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan who can communicate with each other, right?

But firstly, these are all famous directors, and their schedules have long been full, so it is difficult to get film contracts from them; secondly, why should these famous directors communicate with such a newbie like themselves? And they have to be themselves.

Tool man?

In this way, Li Yuan worked hard to think about it... Huh? Is he the only one left to be the director?

p! Hell is empty, the devil is in the world! This world is hopeless! This is all because of your forced labor!

…

Just when Li Yuan was feeling sorry for himself, Wu Yongping on the side asked hesitantly: "Yuanzi, Director Huang, do they want to get rid of us? Apart from asking us to pay, they don't want us to take care of anything?"

"

There was nothing I could do, even my uncle had already noticed something was wrong.

One thing to say, those old artists are actually quite pitiful. Since there are more and more directors in the factory, only a few projects are approved every year. Maybe they have been waiting in line for several years, but they still don’t have the chance to direct or star in a film.

No matter how good the treatment in the country or factory is, what will happen? No matter how much honor and respect in society, what will happen? We just want to make movies!

This is like Mr. Zhao Dan’s last words when he passed away - I just want to be an actor!

There is also director Wang Xiaoshuai. After graduating from Nortel, he was assigned to the Fujian Film Studio. He never reported for work, so he worked as a Beijing drifter in the capital.

However, the director of the Fujian Film Studio was thirsty for talent, so he visited Wang Xiaoshuai's thatched cottage three times and promised to arrange for him to be the director as soon as possible.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai's girlfriend was Chen Xiaoxu, yes! She was Lin Daiyu in the 1984 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions." Chen Xiaoxu hoped that Wang Xiaoshuai would stay in the capital and develop.

But when it comes to choosing a girlfriend and a movie, of course it’s the movie!

Chen Xiaoxu was extremely disappointed, and the two reluctantly broke up. When Wang Xiaoshuai came to Meiying Studio, he learned that five years would be the first time?

The director was not lying. Five years does go by very quickly. There are still a large number of old, middle-aged and young directors lining up in the factory!

In the end, Wang Xiaoshuai went to the Fujian Film Studio to hang out, left resolutely, and continued to return to the capital to work as a Beijing drifter...laughing and crying

From this, it can be seen how popular the position of director is at this time?

I didn't expect that Comrade Li would actually deliver the goods to my door today. Didn't he work hard to pluck this fat sheep?

However, understanding is understanding, and Li Yuan did not come here to do charity. He smiled at Wu Yongping and said: "It doesn't matter what they do. Let's take pictures of ourselves."

Wu Yongping became worried about gains and losses again: "Director Huang and others are all great artists. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use their words?"

"It's a pity that there is nothing we can do. We can't spend money to make them happy."

For those old artists, just like most people in this young literary generation, Wu Yongping still admires them. But that's it, at most it's a little pity.

Wu Yongping quickly changed the question he was concerned about: "Yuanzi, when you are making a movie, can I bring my classmates over to watch it?"

"Okay, just let Erlang arrange it."

Wu Yongping smiled: "I told my classmates that Brother Yuan, the author of "Casino", is my buddy. I didn't expect that the grandsons still don't believe it? Let them open their eyes now, and I will take them directly to watch the movie!"

"Haha, male classmate? Female classmate?"

"B! Why are you so virtuous as Erlang?"

"I'm afraid you might accidentally bring a Pan Jinlian."

"The god damn Pan Jinlian."

"Hey, what about the quality of college students?"

"Do I really need quality? Seeing you like this, making a lot of money and having beautiful girls, I don't even want to go to college." Maybe this time gave Wu Yongping too much stimulation, which made him

A lot of foul language.

"You can't say that. Do you know Mouse? He is now in charge of the Neizhou area. He is semi-illiterate and stumbles in everything he does. When the book is used, it will be less regretful. College students are more important. If you really want to,

I will definitely have a better future than Erlang in the future."

"But now he is richer than me? Yuanzi, please do one thing. If there is an opportunity for work-study in the future, will you consider me, brother?"

"It must be easy to discuss between you and me. But it can't affect your study?"

"That must be it. I know that too."

"..."

…

After a short vacation, Wu Yongping went back to school.

Due to the unique sea tide during this period, people on university campuses are also floating. As mentioned before, the average number of teachers in the university is more than 600 yuan, and the average professor's salary is less than 1,000 yuan? This is a university in the imperial capital and a mainland university teacher.

Income is lower.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just look at Yan Qing, a bastard! After he increased his salary and included monthly bonuses and benefits, he actually got more than 1,000?

It’s not like a few decades later, when university professors without houses or cars were too embarrassed to go out to say hello. Even the research monks called them “boss”? Almost all of them were extremely rich.

Therefore, many college students in this era are busy wanting to go into business. Of course, this trend has been passed down from generation to generation, and it was later renamed "entrepreneurship".

After returning to the company, Li Yuan decided to cut through the mess quickly.

Just direct "Two Golden Guns" yourself! At most, you can hire a few Nortel students as assistants. As for the proficiency issue? At most, it will just waste a few boxes of film.

"The Rich and Powerful" series also uses familiarity instead of rawness. It uses the original director Gao Zhisen.

Because the golden generation of Hong Kong directors were so dazzling, director Gao Zhisen seemed to have lost his reputation a few decades later. But in fact, his comedy works are quite distinctive. Especially in recent years, he has become the most famous director of Gao Zhisen.

The peak period of creation. In addition to the "Wealth and Power" series, there are also excellent works such as "Happy Events at Home" and "Happy Events in Flower Fields".

In fact, Director Gao's subsequent depression was helpless. Comedy stars of the older generation, such as the Hui brothers and Huang Baiming, etc. all stopped filming. Without good comedians, how could we film? And classmate Zhou Xingxing held up the sky by himself. He

Did you finally become a director yourself?

The two leading actors from the Mainland have invited two teachers, Zhao Lirong and Uncle Ge. They will play the role of a mother and son from the Mainland, who will collide with Uncle Biao and the Fatty couple from Hong Kong...

Now Teacher Zhao Lirong has become famous in the Spring Festival Gala, and has just won the Tokyo Film Festival and Domestic Hundred Flowers Best Actress for her role in "Chinese New Year".

Ge You also became famous all over the country in an instant with last year's phenomenal TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department".

But having said that, the salary of these two people was quite cheap at this time. It was only between 150,000 and 200,000.

Next year, Lao Mouzi invites Uncle Ge to be the leading actor in "Alive and Alive". Before the negotiation, Lao Mouzi hinted to Ge You that the producer is a gangster from Hong Kong, and will he try to shout out the salary when the time comes?

Uncle Ge understood instantly. So he racked his brains, and with a guilty conscience, he shouted a super high price - 600,000!

Unexpectedly, the producer signed the contract directly without saying anything.

Because the producers made their budget based on Hong Kong's salary - a top mainland comedian is half of Hong Kong's top comedians, that is, half of a weekly star! So they prepared 2 million! Now it only costs 600,000? Idiot

I don’t want to sign the contract quickly.

The film appointment invitations for these two people were quite simple. Teacher Zhao herself is very easy to talk to, and Yuan Universe has already contacted her. And Uncle Ge’s father, Mr. Ge Cunzhuang, is one of the old artists of Beijing Film Studio. In the previous

During the meeting, Li Yuan had already asked Mr. Ge to send a message.

Nowadays, there are not so many tricks in the mainland's film and television industry. There is no need for a contract at all. A verbal agreement like this is usually considered settled.

As for the title of the new film "The Rich and Rich: The Mainland Travels", the production budget is 4.8 million, and the publicity budget is 1 million.

Since director Gao Zhisen was selected, he would definitely have to bring part of his own team, so he spent an additional 1.5 million. In addition to the additional cost of shooting in the mainland, which cost about 1 million, the investment was quite "astonishing".

"Liao Zhai: The Flower Fairy" is going to be directed by the crooked Sun Shupei. Maybe many people have not heard of this name, but as long as you talk about the director of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", you should know who he is, right?

Moreover, Director Sun also had a previous work - "Bao Qingtian."

Yes! In the original historical line, Director Sun has always been a TV drama director. What he is good at is costume idol dramas.

There are really no commercial film directors in the Mainland at this time! They can only invite foreign directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The reason why they invited director Sun Shupei and Sun? No one else! Just because of the drama "Returning the Pearl!"

Since the current special effects technology is still very immature, and the most it uses is Wi-Fi, so I actually don’t have much expectations for this film "Flower Fairy, Li Yuan". It is just to pave the way for future special effects blockbusters.

Therefore, the production budget is 1.5 million, and the publicity budget is 500,000. Except for the 7.8 million fully paid by Beijing Film Studio, the rest is the salary of director Sun Shupei and the Hong Kong martial arts class.
