The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 1 When the movie shines into reality, it's really miserable
In the office of Dunhuang Films, Wang Wei was expressionless.

He is so hard!

As a time traveler, he felt like he couldn't move the bunch of scammers in front of him.

——I saw Zhou Lin, the artistic director, holding Wang Wei's new script, shaking his head and commenting: "The plot is too simple, and there are no big production scenes. The only thing worth mentioning may be the light comedy style, but there is not much new idea. "

—— See also Xu Daoxing, the manager of the production department, answering: "Besides, the current popular love themes, regardless of unrequited love, first love, passionate love and broken love, are all based on crying; in this script, abortion, tearing, life and death, There are no vows at all, it's too plain."

——In the end, the general manager Wang Chuanqi slapped his thigh and said: "That's right, I have said all these words, and it really is a hero who sees the same thing."

Unexpectedly, the other two "heroes" were shocked when they heard the words.

Zhou Lin: "You don't like it either?" Tenor No. [-].

Xu Daoxing: "You also think the same??" Tenor number two.

Wang Chuanqi squinted his eyes: "What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Zhou Lin turned his head, and said back at the speed of light: "I suddenly felt that this film is still interesting. The plot and production should be simpler, it is suitable for novice directors to practice."

Xu Daoxing also added solemnly: "It makes sense, and the direction of the market is erratic. Even the posters of current romance films are crying, and the audience is probably tired of watching them; this script is not out of the ordinary."

Wang Chuanqi became angry from embarrassment: "What do you two mean by this? Do you dislike my vision?"

Zhou Lin muttered, "That crime movie three years ago was the first one you decided to vote in."

Old Wang slapped the table and shouted: "At that time, the hottest theme in the market was crime movies, and the script was innovative, and the director was also a good at making crime movies. The company's evaluation index for it was A-level. I can say that my choice was wrong. ?"

The asset evaluation index is A-level, which is considered a very high-quality project for both investors and producers.

But Zhou Lin smiled wryly: "But, the producer you selected ran away with money after the production crew was completed!"

Old Wang hesitated, and continued to pat the table: "Can you blame me? That guy has cooperated with Dunhuang more than once. Who would have thought that his wife ran away with the family property and Xiao Xianrou, and he took our money and ran away with his little lover. way out of the country."

"Damn, it's okay to hurt each other, that guy even kept a diary, saying that he was inspired by the script, and expressing his repentance by the way... just say that he still writes a diary these days, what kind of serious person can he be?"

"Will you know that he is such a person beforehand? Will Lao Xu know that he is such a person?"

Well, this wave of love and hatred, backstabs, crimes, suspense and other elements of the magical reality will be revealed first.

Xu Daoxing coughed: "What about two years ago?"

"Lao Zhou and I picked a gangster movie that was hot in the market. The script was reliable, the director was reliable, and the actors were reliable...and it was indeed completed smoothly in the end."

Zhou Lin then added: "The quality of the finished film is not bad. After the finale, some of our main creators drank together, and everyone patted their chests and said that the company might make a lot of money this time!"

"The result is that the two investors you recruited, boss, were found to be laundering money for two groups of overseas gangsters when the film was about to be released, and they were directly sentenced. The company was also involved, and it was hard to clear the suspicion, but the sample As evidence, it has been detained by the prosecution until now..."

Old Wang's face was flushed, and he slapped the table loudly: "When you meet such a bully, can you resist not killing him? When I brought in such a generous investment, you were so happy that you even wagged your tails! "

Well, then this series of tearful tragedies will continue to be revealed.

Zhou Lin sighed: "What about last year? Both Lao Xu and I had doubts about casting that disaster film, and you, the boss, insisted on casting again."

Xu Daoxing also sighed heavily, and couldn't bear to recall: "In the end, it was a disaster."

"The film crew encountered floods when filming in the desert, and all the equipment, including the scenery, were washed away by the flood; misfortunes never come singly, and then the main creators were injured in accidents one after another; when the film crew was still trying to maintain the last stubbornness, the director who was always in good health Had a heart attack and died; the assistant director picked it up and was hit by a car..."

"Such a useless crew is unheard of, the insurance company that provided the guarantee collapsed, and stepped in to stop the project before being cheated and bankrupt..."

Lao Wang slapped the table so that it was about to fall, and shouted in a bad tone: "What can be done about natural disasters and man-made disasters? And I remember that you said you had doubts, but didn't you object in the end?"

"...Can you let go of the table, don't your hands hurt?"

In short, regardless of how Lao Wang defends, the fact is that the three films he is deeply optimistic about——

I shot a crime movie, and it turned out to be really tempting to commit a crime; I shot a gangster movie, but I almost became a gangster; I shot a disaster movie, and it turned into a large-scale disaster scene...

When the movie shines into reality, once the wrong subject is chosen, it will be really miserable.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Wei's new script, among other things, has a high safety factor.

Romance movies, even if they are reflected in reality, at most "kill people".

So Zhou Lin nodded heavily: "I think the script of the little boss can be shot."

Xu Daoxing immediately followed up: "I absolutely agree."

Lao Wang was so angry that his teeth itch: "You guys are purely idealistic, can we talk about materialism?"

Zhou and Xu were stunned, and then said in unison: "Boss, do you still have the confidence to talk about materialism?"

……

Hearing this, Wang Wei just wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: none of these three is reliable, it's too difficult!
On the table, the script they were discussing had the words "Peking Holiday" on the cover.

Well, in parallel time and space, it has another classic name-"Roman Holiday".

But in the mouths of these three swindlers, they were almost useless.

Well, considering their "brilliant record", this is actually a good word.

The question is, besides this, what buff is needed to offset the bad luck of this trio of bad guys?
Wang Wei subconsciously glanced at his broken system——

As soon as I thought about it, a few lines appeared in my mind:
[Newbie task: Director's debut.

Task content: As a director, shoot a feature film and release it.

Mission Reward: Scene Miscellaneous Halo (Elementary)]

In his previous life, he almost sold himself to be a director, but he still didn't have much help; in this life, he is not so keen on being a director, and instead has an extra system...

This thief is so fucking naive.

Moreover, there is no such thing as a golden finger, the legendary "novice gift package" or anything like that!
He couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and sigh again: This is another unreliable one! !

In addition to hanging out a novice task, this broken system will enter the on-hook state, Wang Wei does not move it and does not remind it, it is too tm salty fish.

Compared with countless peers who shine as soon as they travel through, Wang Wei is really too stable (salty) healthy (fish). I never thought that there would be a more stable (salty) healthy (fish) existence than him.

He has every reason to suspect that if he doesn't accept this novice task, the broken system will hang up forever.

After all, he has been working on it for 20 years, and the system has been idle for a full 20 years.

It's impossible to be strict. In this plane, when the time and space progressed to the end of the 19th century, a branch line appeared-a certain eastern power rose ahead of schedule.

A butterfly can even instigate a hurricane, but how many people and things will be changed if a dragon takes off early?
In short, the history of the world has changed, and the history of world film has also been disturbed beyond recognition.

Today, it is already 1990, but the level of social development is comparable to that of 00, and the information age has also begun to jump out of the horizon...

In the beginning, Wang Wei, who had traveled to this familiar yet strange world, was still a baby. What else could he do besides clinging to him?
It's just, just hang on...it's so comfortable!
In the previous life, he worked overtime so hard that he was killed early. In this life, he became a salted fish, but gained unimaginable happiness.

This happiness has been happy for 20 years, until now I can't keep it.

If he keeps going, the Dunhuang Film Industry that his grandfather left him to inherit will really be taken into the ditch by the three scammers in front of him!

……

My thoughts returned to reality, hey, why are you not noisy anymore?
Then I saw that the three people all set their eyes on him.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Weishi applauded calmly: "You didn't fight? You love, you are so friendly. You are really the most friendly team I have ever seen."

Wang Chuanqi covered his face, here he is, his elder nephew's strange ambiguity arrived even though he was late.

The corners of Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing's mouths twitched.

The applause continued: "They are all crouching dragons and phoenixes. Fortunately, you crouching dragons and phoenixes have helped me create a bright and splendid situation."

The other three: ...

In an instant, their thoughts were miraculously synchronized: what the hell, if it wasn't for his handsome face, this girl wouldn't be able to live today.

There was a wave of yin and yang, and Wang Wei showed a kind smile: "That's right. Although I appreciate your talents, I must not listen to your beeps this time."

He directly asked Wang Chuanqi: "The initial budget of the project is 800 million, can the funds be guaranteed?"

"No, aside from the prospect of profit, why do you need a budget of 800 million yuan for a romantic film with little water in it?" Lao Wang couldn't see someone spending money lavishly.

Wang Wei frowned: "The company can't afford 800 million?"

"Of course not, the company is not short of this little money." Old Wang said very embarrassingly, this was probably the first time he dared to speak out confidently today.

Wang Wei believed it.

It is hard for outsiders to believe that Dunhuang Films, which has been in the pit for three consecutive years, is actually not empty at all.

He also had to express his admiration for this point. Lao Wang's luck is hard to describe, but his ability to "cheat money" is really first-rate.

Everyone in the industry likes to use foreign investors' money to make their own movies, and Wang Chuanqi makes the most of this point—he hardly pays a penny himself, and even cheated him three times before he completely wiped out the enthusiasm of investors for giving away heads.

Wang Wei couldn't figure out how he had fooled so many people into taking advantage of him, but he was shocked.

——Well, if it wasn't like this, Dunhuang wouldn't be cheated in the second year.It can only be said that the cycle of karma and retribution is not good.

And where did your money go?Wang Wei has read the company's financial reports for the past three years, and in addition to maintaining the issuance business, he has also purchased wealth management products... As a result, Dunhuang, which is estimated to be about to go bankrupt in the eyes of outsiders, has increased its capital reserves instead of falling.

This should be the only thing Wang Wei is thankful for so far.

——Thank God, Dunhuang has not yet been reduced to a sinkhole that cannot be climbed out!

"Then it's settled, "Peking Holiday" is officially launched, who is in favor and who is against?" Wang Wei said decisively.

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing remained silent.

They are part-time workers, and when the boss has not made a decision, they can still babble a few words. If they really make a decision, beeping is not decent.

Wang Chuanqi is also one of the bosses, and he does have an opinion.

——The founder of Dunhuang, Director Wang Tingdong left most of the shares to his grandson before his death, and that's fine; but the old man firmly believes that the key to Dunhuang's improvement lies in Wang Wei, and Lao Wang is not convinced.

Why can't his son take Dunhuang to a higher level?

What is there to admit, this is exactly his obsession with repeated defeats.

It's a pity that the old man's vision is vicious.

Falling into the pit with different postures for three consecutive years, Wang Chuanqi himself has never been convinced to lose his temper.

However, despite this, he still tried to struggle: "At least, you have to have a complete plan so that I can evaluate..."

"Take it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Wei took out a thick plan and threw it to him, "This is my preparatory plan!"

"..."

Emma, ​​this is comparable to the thickness of a brick... This kid is really deliberate and prepared.

Wang Wei turned his head and continued talking about the arrangement: "I will be the director and first producer, Lao Zhou, you will be the main photographer; Lao Xu, you will return to your old job and be the first assistant director of the crew; classmate……"

After a pause, Wang Wei said decisively: "You just need to concentrate on making money, the crew can't tolerate a talent like you!"

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing couldn't help laughing.

Wang Chuanqi's face turned green.

It's a humiliation.

It's definitely a humiliation.

Although he was a little bit unlucky, although he was a little bit out of tune with the entertainment industry, even though the world seemed to like to target him a little bit...but why should he be discriminated against!
In other words, why only discriminate against him!

Wang Wei squinted at him: "Because you old Wang is definitely a strange man with debuffs."

It can be seen from their mutual diss above that although these three are unreliable, Lao Wang is especially unreliable.

Of course, one cannot be superstitious.But there are always some high-quality unlucky human beings who have achieved sustainable unlucky.

Wang Chuanqi seems to have a bit of this shadow when he has a good hand but always overdoes it.

Fate, sometimes I really have to be in awe.

It has to be said that this is also an important reason why Wang Wei chose a movie with a relatively simple plot and production like "Roman Holiday" for his debut.

If this is a process of adding buffs, then Wang Wei has director experience in his previous life, has classic scripts, and the company is not short of money, etc., all of which are positive buffs.

However, the gangster trio headed by Lao Wang is full of unlucky debuffs. According to the rule of the previous three years, the bigger the film, the more enchanting the unlucky posture.

——Bow your head to the strange man covered in debuff.jpg.

But can Wang Chuanqi recognize it?
That must not be possible.

He tried to make up for it: "In this circle, there are ups and downs, who didn't come here like this?"

"Then you are really an important figure in the circle, only Luo Luoluo..." Wang Wei praised him.

"..." Lao Wang's sight on Wang Wei's body almost condensed into a 40-meter sword.

Damn, I can't stand it if I don't find fault with you——

"Okay, I don't understand fate, but I know how to save money best. So, my dear nephew, you are working for yourself. Are you embarrassed to ask for a salary? You can work for nothing."

The so-called company belongs to the company, and the individual belongs to the individual. As the director and first producer, Wang Wei holds great power, so he absolutely has reason to strive for a generous basic salary for himself.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wei readily agreed: "The basic remuneration is not required, but I ask for a step-by-step box office share."

The other three were all taken aback.

The so-called step-wise share is to reach a certain box office, that is, to get a share according to a certain percentage; there is no doubt that the more sold at the box office, the higher the corresponding income.

so refreshing?Wang Chuanqi couldn't help being suspicious: "Could it be, do you think it has the possibility of becoming a hit?"

Generally speaking, when someone is willing to exchange the share with the least immediate remuneration, it means that he firmly believes that the movie will have a very large profit margin.

"Hehe." Wang Wei stayed in Bengbu.

"The original team who fell into the trap three times in a row." He named the trio of cheaters one by one.

"Not a popular topic." Clicked on the script.

"New director." Pointing to himself.

"The lead actor is most likely to be a newcomer..."

It's not that I don't know, even Wang Wei himself was shocked.

"It's still a hot item? The death buffs are all stacked up. It's hopeless. Send it to the crematorium. The ashes should be buried far away."

The three looked at each other.

Director, are you really not afraid of fulfillment when you curse yourself so much?

This time it was Wang Wei's turn to pat the table: "A film studio has not released its own film for three consecutive years, what could be worse? If Grandpa has an underground spirit, he must come up to chat with you. "

"I'm just a humble rookie. If my debut work can be released smoothly, I will be lucky to break the curse of Dunhuang."

Zhou Lin silently served as the backdrop.

Xu Daoxing was as quiet as a chicken.

Only Wang Chuanqi looked strange.

The truth is this truth, but the words are a little familiar.

correct.

Last time, this guy told the old man that he was just a humble film and television lover, and he was lucky if he could hold on to his love - it turned out that his grandfather forced Dunhuang Films to him.

Last time, this guy told his family that he was just a humble high school student, and that he was lucky to be admitted to a key university—it turned out that he only studied high school for one year and was admitted to the highest school in China with high scores.

this time……

A thought popped up inexplicably: there must be something strange in this mediocre "Peking Holiday".

But, where is the strangeness?
