The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 87
"Aren't you a bit louder when you say that?"

Dongfang Pictures, general manager Hou Mai looked at the young director most valued by the company and said with a headache.

At this moment, Song Zhicheng was crossing his legs beautifully, with a cigarette in his mouth, and was looking at the new script in his hand.

Hearing this, he raised his head, slowly took away the cigarette, and said, "Don't you know my skills?"

Hou Mai was speechless.

Well, according to what he knew about Song Zhicheng, he really thought so from the bottom of his heart, not to prevaricate someone.

As a leader among the new generation of directors who has won more than one international award, Song Zhicheng seems to be qualified to speak louder.

In the past few years, with the increasing prosperity of the film and television market, talents have also shown a gushing explosion.

Needless to say in terms of actors, talented newcomers emerged one after another, and each one became popular and famous.

In terms of directors, many leading figures of the new generation have also emerged one after another.

Luo Jianzhou, who focuses on commercial productions, is one, and Wang Wei, a rising star, is one.

Song Zhicheng, who is less than 30 years old and focuses on literary and artistic films, is naturally one of them.

He has made three films successively, hit the three major international film festivals in Europe in a row, and picked fruit twice at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, which can be regarded as a miracle.

What's even more amazing is that even though he doesn't make much money from the production of his literary films, he never loses money!
Among the new generation of directors, he is recognized as the top spot in art; and at his age, perhaps ten or twenty years later, he will become the well-deserved No.20 art master in China.

Of course, even the current top art masters dare not take the Tianma Award and the awards of the three major international film festivals as their pockets.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, his words were indeed too arrogant.

However, Song Zhicheng had his reasons for being so arrogant.

"You think I was joking when I said that Shen Zhenyi's talent and talent were wasted by Wang Wei!"

Song Zhicheng said with a half-smile, "Many people would probably say that he made Shen Zhenyi popular, and I'm so sour that I'm not afraid of being laughed to death."

"Hehe...Let's put it this way, Shen Zhenyi's excellent appearance and excellent acting skills are second to none. The most important thing is that she has a magical power that can bring the audience into the play and firmly attract their attention to her. .”

"If it is said that in the entertainment industry, actors with acting skills and good looks are rare animals, then I would say that what she possesses is a rare talent that can push her to the top."

"I can boldly say that with a qualified director, Shen Zhenyi would still be popular. Wang Wei was a little lucky, and he met a talented actor that any director would want to create..."

In the end, it was a bit sour after all.

Hou Mai said something fair: "The industry still recognizes Wang Wei's ability to train actors."

"You don't understand!" Song Zhicheng said with an inexplicable contempt on the corner of his mouth, "For ordinary actors, Wang Wei's training ability is enough; but for talented actors, what is needed is not ordinary training. It’s about tapping its fullest potential.”

Hou Mai chuckled with a good temper: "Well, I don't understand the world of geniuses. However, good acting skills may not win the favor of the film award judges. After all, being beautiful is a deduction for winning awards!"

"Judges, what a fart!" Song Zhicheng said in shock.

"It's just a group of old men who claim to be extraordinary, deliberately making young beauties pretend to be old, ugly and crazy, so as to highlight that their appreciation level is not as vulgar as the general public... In fact, it is extremely vulgar!"

"I have read their minds, and if I want to win their favor, it will only take a few minutes."

It's hard to believe that an art director who is famous for repeatedly winning awards is so dismissive of the judges who voted for him.

But Hou Mai was not moved in the slightest, obviously it was not the first time he heard it.

Song Zhicheng really continued to speak harshly: "Film judges all over the world are like birds. They say they insist on using art as the criterion for judging. In essence, they are either bullshit self-proclaimed elegant taste, or they are crazy about making money in the name of art."

"So, it's not that I'm talking big, as long as Shen Zhenyi is willing to listen to my training, use one or two movies to improve her style, and conquer those old men, it's easy..."

Hou Mai continued to be speechless and helpless.

Most of the commercial films, in Song Zhicheng's eyes, are made of a bunch of visual and sound garbage;
And most of the art films, in the eyes of Song Zhicheng, are arty garbage;

Anyway, looking at it together, Song Zhicheng's map gun is extremely confident, conceited, and arrogant!

This seems to be a negative quality that every successful person possesses.

Hou Mai thought of Wang Wei who also likes to magnify his words. If you really want to look into it carefully, why isn't he like this?
It's all about the continued success, the continued high reputation and good grades that cover it all up.

And as long as the success can continue, this kind of conceit and arrogance will continue to be covered up, and instead of becoming a shortcoming, it will become a famous anecdote that people talk about and admire!

Therefore, Hou Mai has always known Song Zhicheng's character, but he will never let go.

Even, in order to bind this cutting-edge director with unlimited potential, he even gave up the final editing rights.

——As long as it is his Song Zhicheng's work, the Final Cutting Rights Company will not interfere!

If he is not very profitable, and has been making money all the time, and never loses money; or he is particularly good at playing art, and even has a great international reputation, people have to regard him as a master; The editing rights are handed over?

You know, in the huge Chinese entertainment industry, there are more than a dozen directors who can have the final editing rights in their hands.

Among the new generation of directors, there are only Luo Jianzhou, Wang Wei and Song Zhicheng.

It's no wonder that there are voices in the circle calling these three people "the three masters of the new generation of directors".

Interestingly, the trio of conceited, favorite actresses of the new generation are actually the same person.

Needless to say, Wang Wei's childhood sweetheart relationship can't be overstated;
Needless to say, Luo Jianzhou, it is said that the number one candidate for the heroine of the new film is always Shen Zhenyi, which is outrageous;
Now Song Zhicheng is also strongly joining in to "rob people", this shit...

Whether the "Three Heroes" are the "chosen sons of heaven" is hard to say, but in Hou Mai's heart, Shen Zhenyi must be the "chosen daughter of heaven"!
What can he do, of course, support Song Zhicheng as always!

Hou Mai sighed, nodded, and said: "Then find a way to pull her over, and we will have a perfect match with Director Song Da!"

Song Zhicheng looked like an old god, and said: "Okay, Lao Hou, don't pretend to be too. Isn't it your long-planned plan to dig Shen Zhenyi here?"

Hou Mai nodded at him more helplessly, "You, you, I didn't ask you to put on such a high profile."

After a pause, he said with envy on his face: "No way, the combination of Wang Wei + Shen Zhenyi is really a bit scary."

"These two people want to be topical and topical, and they want box office appeal to have box office appeal. They can kill the momentum of a big production with a small cost. Who can't be greedy?"

"I know you don't like Wang Wei's emphasis on business over art, but you can't deny that the existence of Shen Zhenyi has greatly enhanced the artistry of Wang Wei's films. His nomination for the Tianma Award for his last film is the best proof."

Hearing this, the expression on Song Zhicheng's face finally became a little more serious.

He thought for a while, then smiled, "It makes sense, and I dare not say that Wang Wei won't make progress in the future."

Hou Mai nodded: "On one hand, awards and on the other hand, the box office, and both of them are very secure, that is recognized as the top spot among film directors! I'm not afraid to tell you, I always feel that if they don't break up their combination, Wang Wei has the greatest possibility of becoming the No.1 director of the new generation."

Song Zhicheng was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, but still said calmly: "The foundation of my word of mouth has been solidified. In the next step, I will think more about the direction of business. Even if they go together, I will not be afraid."

Hou Mai smiled, thinking, you are going to be proud of yourself, of course you are not afraid, I am the one who has a headache.

For Hou Mai, the poaching of Shen Zhenyi, like the competition for the seat of the classification committee, is a side of the secret war between Eastern Pictures and Dunhuang.

The market share of the top five is basically fixed, and for the remaining cakes, some people eat more, and some people want to eat less.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the rise of Dunhuang is most threatened by Eastern Films, which is also a second-tier leader and has a similar positioning.

He wanted to figure it out slowly, but Song Zhicheng spoke wildly, and directly put his intention of poaching Shen Zhenyi on the bright side.

Now the question is, is Wang Wei a good stubble?
