The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 135

In front of Wang Wei, a fat middle-aged producer was chattering non-stop, but Wang Wei just wanted to get rid of him quickly.

On the one hand, just looking at the other party from time to time greedily aiming at the long-legged and slender waist passing by like a predator, the gaze that can't wait to see through the clothes, makes Wang Wei feel that if he stays with him for a while, he will be labeled as a raccoon dog.

On the other hand, although the other party is a producer with certain resources, he is only a second-rate producer after all.

A first-class producer not only has a strong project coordination ability, but also has a certain aesthetic and independent thinking ability-understand the script, be able to select suitable directors and actors even if they are not well-known according to the characteristics of the film, and allocate funds and resources reasonably , Check the quality of film production.

And opposite this second-rate producer who doesn't deserve to have a name——

He can't tell how good the script is, as long as the scriptwriter is famous and the subject matter is popular;

He doesn't care about the level of the director, as long as he is well-known;

He doesn't care about the actor's level, as long as he has enough fame and traffic;
During the shooting process, he only controlled the funds, couldn't understand the quality of the rough cut samples, and shot casually, and the post-editing didn't even have any opinions, and then this became his bragging capital...

Wang Wei endured and endured, and finally suppressed the urge to spray him so that he was paralyzed.

Among the producers who came to cheer, there were the most second-rate producers like this.

This is not incomprehensible.

First-class producers are extremely sought-after no matter where they are. Most of them cooperate with the five major bundles, and they are too busy with a bunch of their own projects.

Moreover, even if they want to come, there are often a bunch of conditions attached, requiring them to enjoy a certain percentage of the right to profit from the work, including the right to profit from the surrounding area.

It's not that Dunhuang can't accept it. The problem is, the five big ones can offer the same conditions—under the same conditions, who wouldn't want to have thicker thighs?
And if it is necessary to cut off a larger piece of meat, it is not cost-effective for Dunhuang.

After all, there is no shortage of producers to such an extent.

Wang Wei is in charge of the overall planning and management of the project, and with Dunhuang's current plan, it can barely handle it, and what is even more lacking is an executive producer.

If the first producer is regarded as the "commander" appointed by the leader, the executive producer is a bit like "supervising the army"-they are responsible for dismantling and refining the overall plan of the producer, and implementing it step by step. and make it run smoothly.

We all know that the new projects opened in Dunhuang this year are indispensable, and many people come here for the position of executive producer—many gold medal producers, the last step of growth is executive producer, and the producers cultivated in this way It is also easier for people to gain Dunhuang's trust.

Therefore, in terms of executive producer, Wang Wei has gained a little, and has found several excellent candidates.

Of course, the specific cooperation agreement cannot be finalized with just a few words at the banquet.

Later, the two sides will have specific negotiations.

However, after confirming the intention, there is no problem with the cooperation in the general direction.

Where there is joy, there is sorrow.

In terms of finding a director, the degree of difficulty was obviously beyond Wang Wei's expectations.

——It's not a matter of level.

There are many first-line directors who come to join in the show. Anyway, ordinary commercial films can't trouble them.

——It is not a question of profit distribution either.

For capable directors, Dunhuang will not give up everything. For example, Zhuang Geng, even if he signs a film contract in advance, he can still enjoy a certain percentage of the box office share in the new film. will be treated.

Unfortunately, in most cases, it is simply inappropriate.

The first is to be able to shoot genre films that are not suitable.

Even looking at the world, a director who can achieve success across multiple film genres is a rare level.

Most directors are only good at making one type of film throughout their lives, and they are also "stable productivity" in this industry.

Then, Dunhuang focuses on three genres this year: comedy, romance and suspense.

Therefore, although some directors are very good and have a strong willingness to cooperate, they are not good at shooting these three genres. It is a pity that they are not in Dunhuang's plan for this year.

And some other directors were given up by Wang Wei because of moral issues - cheating, liking unspoken rules, like gambling and even smoking narcotics.

——Not out of any psychological cleanliness, purely because there is no need to take risks.

Although in the entertainment industry, there is no way to have too high a standard of morality, there are always some people who don't have the slightest moral requirements on themselves, and you can never imagine what kind of moth they will make.

You say control it?

Stop it.

People are inherently uncontrollable.

But people in Vanity Fair, surrounded by temptations, are naturally more uncontrollable.

It's like ordinary people who want to cheat, cheaters don't necessarily like you, but there are countless forks in front of celebrities.

In short, there are actually traces of this kind of director who is covered in slander, and there may be a thunderstorm one day.

Dunhuang is growing at a high speed, and the success or failure of each project is very important. If the main creator is thunderous, it will not only kill the project, but also cause the company to fall into a vortex of negative public opinion.

Wang Wei's "demining" principle is also very simple - there is no too much black history, and he does not commit suicide.

But just these two items ruled out another batch of candidates.

In the end, after a celebration banquet, Wang Wei, who was flattered, found only a handful of directors.

"Compared to last year where we could only shake people from the rookies and the down-and-out group, this year at least there are some challenges, which is a big improvement!"

After the banquet, Wang Wei met Lao Wang and Shen Zhenyi and comforted himself like this.

"My harvest here is not bad. There are a few interesting projects that are worth investing in." Lao Wang was in a good mood.

They have a clear division of labor, one is responsible for "selecting people" and the other is responsible for "selecting projects".

——Not everyone came here to ask for the script. Some people hoped to bring Dunhuang into the game because they believed in Dunhuang’s vision and strong luck, so as to reduce the risk of the project.

Coincidentally, the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" has exploded so far. It can be foreseen that Dunhuang's money bag will be unprecedentedly bulging this year. It is better to choose some high-quality projects to invest in, even if you can't lead, you can only follow the top five, and it is better than putting money in the bank. cost-effective.

It should be said that to have such a harvest is not in vain for their non-stop communication throughout the banquet.

I never expected that some people would just "make soy sauce" casually, and they would attract a lot of people!
That's right, not one person, not two people, but a group of people!
When Shen Zhenyi told her what she had gained at the banquet in a relaxed tone, Wang Wei and Lao Wang's eyes almost popped out!
The old king was half dazed, and murmured: "Oh my god, if you were in ancient times, it would be the queen's order. You can pull up a team and raise the flag to rebel in minutes..."

Wang Wei also finally realized what it is to feel that life is meaningless!
How can the gap between people be so big?

I put on a smiling face like a spring breeze, my face was cramped, and I didn't catch a few big fish.

This girl, sitting there, a fish pond was sent to her door on her own initiative?
God this thief, when he is not a human being, he really is not a human being at all!
