independent filmmaker

Although he "put down the pick" on the spot, Xie Lansheng still hoped to reach an agreement with Xinwei.First of all, "Going to Yueyang" is the book he wrote. He wanted to create it with his own hands and present it in its most perfect form before the eyes of the world. It would be unwilling to sell only one filming right to Xinwei Video. Xie Lansheng devoted himself to his book deep feelings.Secondly, until today, he also believes that online art theaters will be another way out for directors—companies such as Xinwei Video buy directors’ films and broadcast them on the Internet, so that the films can meet people.

He still wants to fight for it.

With this in mind, Xie Lansheng sent another anger email to Xinwei Video.Moreover, starting from the afternoon of this day, Xie Lansheng and Xinwei Video officially launched a war of venting anger.

In the first email, Xie Lansheng reviewed the casting controversy in detail, and sorted out seven or eight reasons why he could not accept it.In the end, he wrote that Xinweifang's strong intervention will ruin the movie, and the director is the only one who has to coordinate the whole movie. He wants to make sure that he can "see" the final effect of the movie instead of just seeing it. When there is a fog, a cold smoke, and even knowing that the work will not come true, it will take a year to shoot. You know, most film directors only have ten years of their peak.Lan Sheng suddenly wrote in a big way, saying that capital can be suggested and discussed, but it should not be forced. It is impossible to make classic movies by "shooting other people's films". The practice of Xinweiwai will affect the film industry. It will affect cultural development and national competitiveness, and movie audiences will return to the embrace of Hollywood.

After finishing writing, Xie Lansheng sent the e-mail to Wen Yuan, Ruan Cheng, Wu Jiuyi, etc., and, in the "cc" column, first put the e-mail of Lin Tao, CEO of "Xinwei Video", and then Put the e-mail of Zhang Jiuchuan, the deputy director of the Film Bureau!

Zhang Jiuchuan, known as "Sichuan Bureau", has a very good relationship with Xie Lansheng, and he is also one of the film bureau officials who understand the director best.

Wu Jiuyi, who has been in charge of communicating with Xie Lansheng, immediately replied to the e-mail, saying that this is not capital intervention, the two sides can communicate and communicate, Xinwei Video also made this theater for literary and artistic movies, for cultural development, but there is no income and expenditure. Balanced literary and artistic theaters will not last long, and they have to seriously consider issues such as audience flow, which is very hard and helpless.

In the reply, Wu Jiuyi deleted the e-mail of Lin Tao, the CEO of Xinwei Video, and the e-mail of Zhang Jiuchuan, the deputy director of the Film Bureau.

Lan Sheng immediately wrote again, and also hung up the e-mails of Lin Tao and Chuanju again, reiterating that, of course, Xinwei does not need traffic, but the entire ecology must also be considered, and Zhang Youyou and Wan Wan's fans cannot support it. Literary theaters, fans support stars once and they will disappear immediately. This "seeing the balance of payments" is temporary and false. Only when the movies are really good can a fixed audience be established. Don't just watch a few new videos. The performance of movies requires a long-term vision and long-term planning, blablabla.

Send it, and copy Lin Tao and Sichuan Bureau at the same time! !

As expected, in Wu Jiuyi's reply that night, the email addresses of Lin Tao and Sichuan Bureau were deleted again!

Moreover, Wu Jiuyi, who was in contact with him, began to send Xie Lansheng WeChat messages, phone calls, and invite audio or video, but Xie Lansheng ignored them all.He just sent emails to Xinwei one by one, copying all of them to the Lin Taochuan Bureau, and he didn't care how many Wu Jiuyi and the others would not reply.

Wu Jiuyi kept sending Xie Lansheng WeChat and text messages, saying: [Director Xie, don't do this, we have to solve things by ourselves. ] But Xie Lansheng pretended not to see it.

Then, after 12 emails between Lan Sheng and Xinwei in three days, Xie Lansheng clicked again and added the e-mail of another deputy director of the Film Bureau!

He also knew the deputy director, but he was not very familiar with him, and the relationship was okay.

In fact, he was more worried that Bureau Liu told him not to send it, such as replying "You solve the problem yourself, don't send me emails", but Bureau Liu didn't say anything.

Four days later, on Wednesday of the next week, Xie Lansheng hung up the e-mail of Hou Lin, the president of the China Film Directors Association, when he sent the letter in the afternoon, and at night, he brought the Chinese film producer President of the Association.

This is seeing more and more.

For this "Going to Yueyang", he really broke down.

In the future, he and the company Xinwei may not have any intersections again.

Sadness lingers in my heart.

Lan Sheng couldn't help but think, he has the capital to compete with Xinwei Video, he can produce it himself, or ask Deep Blue to produce it, but what about others?Do you have the courage?They offended the capital side, how will they make movies in the future?Under such circumstances, the director probably can only compromise.

Lan Sheng knew that if only two or three star actors were required in the movie, the Xinwei video might not be too much at all.

It is too difficult to do creations that require funds.Writers can write and painters can paint, but film directors cannot.

…………

Xie Lansheng sent this e-mail with the President of the Producers Association sitting on Xin Ye's lap.

When he finished posting, he felt Xinye smiling heavily behind his back.

Before that, during the process of writing the e-mail, Xin Ye had been gently hugging Xie Lansheng's slender waist, and one ear was still lightly pressed against Xie Lansheng's heart.

Xie Lansheng turned to sit down, facing Xinye, lowered his eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Listen to the heartbeat." Xin Ye raised his neck and said, "It's so cute. Bao's heart was pounding just now when he was typing, but it calmed down and returned to the usual speed."

"..." Xie Lansheng said, "Forty or so, how cute."

Xinye was still chuckling: "Because it feels fresh. It's still young and hot."

"……what."

After a few words, Xinye suddenly said to Xie Lansheng: "But just now, I was a little lost."

"Ok?"

"I like you like this the most." Xin Ye said again, "But, I always feel that you don't need me more and more these years. Before filming "Growing Roots", you sent me a bunch of things to invite me to act, and for "Consummation" At that time, my participation should have also played a big role, "Love at First Sight" was fully responsible for the distribution and promotion of Deep Blue, and later, "Boundless Earth"...but now I feel a little powerless, you are doing "To Yueyang" by yourself."

Xie Lansheng was laughed at by Xin Ye: "Bei Er, let's put it this way, I have never provided any help to Deep Blue Pictures, don't you need me?"

Xinye stared straight at Xie Lansheng and shook his head slightly.

A pair of lovers entangled and kissed together again unknowingly.They have been together for nearly 20 years, but every time they kiss Lan Sheng with Xin Ye, he still trembles in his heart. He always feels that there is an electric current running through his whole body, and he likes it so much that his whole body tingles slightly.

Lan Sheng was interrupted by the notification tone of the email.

He wiped his red lips, sat back and looked at the computer: "!!!"

The sender of the email at the top was Lin Tao, CEO of Xinwei Video! ! !

Xie Lansheng's breath was suffocated.

He knew that the content of this letter was Xinweifang's final opinion.Lin Tao, the CEO of Xinwei Company, said that it is impossible for Wen Yuan, the CEO of the subsidiary Xinwei Films, and Ruan Cheng, the head of Xinwei members and the SVP of Xinwei Video, to oppose him.In other words, if Lin Tao supported Wenyuan, there would be no room for discussion in this matter. However, if Lin Tao signaled a concession, then Wenyuan and the others would not insist on signing Zhang Youyou.The boss is the boss, and the subordinates can only be obedient.

Lan Sheng sent an e-mail for a week just to force Lin Tao to come out.

Xie Lansheng moved the mouse lightly to "Open", but paused before pressing the button, and then took a deep breath.

This letter has final results.

If it still doesn't work, it will be broken.The energy of writing scripts, drawing storyboards, and negotiating with Xinwei Fang was all wasted.

Will Lin Tao say "then terminate the contract"?Or talk about the wheel, but still want to compromise?

From behind, Xinye felt that Xie Lansheng was still a little nervous, and asked in a steady voice, "Open together?"

Xie Lansheng laughed, feeling a lot more relaxed, and said, "Okay."

"Yeah." Xinye put one arm around Lansheng's waist, and pressed Xie Lansheng's hand holding the mouse with the other, tolerant and warm, and Xie Lansheng really felt that everything didn't matter, Xinye could make him feel at ease, and he could also calm him down , Let him feel that he is strong enough to be able to laugh at all obstacles.

Xinye asked again: "Open?"

"Yeah." Despite saying this, Xie Lansheng didn't move his hands.

Xinye understood what he meant, wrapped his right hand around Xie Lansheng's right hand, and pressed his index finger against Xie Lansheng's index finger. With a click, Lin Tao's e-mail immediately unfolded in front of his eyes.

Xie Lansheng glanced at it and said, "Ha!!!"

Since Wenyuan was fully responsible for the online cinema earlier, the CEO Lin Tao’s more professional approach is to trust Wenyuan and not interfere.However, Xie Lansheng copied Lin Tao and bombarded him indiscriminately for a week, and at the same time, he also copied to Deputy Director Zhang of the Film Bureau—Xie Lansheng's friend for many years, Deputy Director Liu of the Film Bureau, as well as the president of the Directors' Association and the producer. The president of the Filmmakers Association copied more and more, saying that Xinwei's practice had affected the film industry, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, the two parties would have to split up. So, finally, although no one else said anything, CEO Lin Tao couldn't sit still. Living.

Lin Tao felt that he needed to come forward.However, if they really parted ways, it would be really ugly, and it would be embarrassing for Xinwei to be accused of "forcefully interfering with creative freedom".Even if this is the industry rule, the most popular industry rule, Lin Tao doesn't want to let the official people around to watch it, not to mention that the email is in text form, which can be saved by everyone.Although Xinwei has done nothing legally wrong, who knows if he will be accused of something else?How domineering does it feel?

For the sake of the official and association's impression, as well as for the long-term development of Xinwei, Lin Tao still decided to come forward.

In front of the computer, the corners of Xie Lansheng's lips curled up, looking at Lin Tao's e-mail.

He only sent one sentence and copied everyone at the same time:

【Come on according to Director Xie. 】
