From traffic to movie star

Chapter 97 He Will Stand Here Eventually
In the entertainment circle, the management companies squeeze artists in various ways and sign unequal treaties to the artists, but why do the artists still have to depend on the management companies?
The answer is resources.

In this parallel world, the concept of a star studio has not even appeared. Even a big golden flower queen like Zhai Qing is still tightly tied to Huaying Media.

Because once artists leave the film company, they will lack resources and even less protection.

An artist who decides to go it alone, why should he get a movie contract, why should he sign an advertisement endorsement?There are so many people in the entertainment industry who are backed by brokerage companies, how can you beat them?

Even if you can get resources, how do you ensure that the other party will not cheat you?

What would you do if you encountered a rival entertainer trying to trick you?

If a capital side wants to rule you unspoken, how can you resist?

But these hidden dangers, brokerage companies will solve it for you.

Well, people like Wei Xun who have their own traffic and are not short of endorsements, and who can also be screenwriters, directors, and actors want to do it alone, but they actually have to face many difficulties.

First of all, your film needs to recruit a team, rent a location for shooting, and after filming, you have to go through editing and get a dragon label. After a film is actually produced, you also need to consider the issue of distribution.

Chi Tang is backed by Guanchi Group, who can launch "Story of Time" in minutes and drive the marketing of "Chinese Partner".

What does Wei Xun have?

How can the movies he produced be distributed? If there is no attention, and they can’t be released in theaters, why should they compete with other entertainment giants for the box office market?

Furthermore, it's like the Shanghai Film Festival, if you don't have connections in the circle, people won't take you to play at all.

If Wei Xun chooses to join Huaying Media, Times Pictures or even Guanchi Group today, then his name will definitely be on the list of nominations for the Shanghai Film Festival.

This is the difference between joining a media film and television giant and going it alone.

After explaining the twists and turns clearly, Wei Xun looked at Mao Bin and asked, "So, can you accept this reason?"

The expression on Mao Bin's face froze and he didn't say a word.

Wei Xun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then continued to look down at the list of winners.

In the list of nominations for the Shanghai Film Festival, Wei Xun was not accepted.

Although many netizens expressed regret, no one really struggled or questioned anything except the fans.

After all, with Wei Xun's current strength, he is still unable to make netizens question the degree of unfairness of the Shanghai Film Festival because he failed to be nominated for an award.

In early November, the 19th Shanghai Film Festival was held in the Shanghai Yulan Hall.

On the opening night of the film festival, thousands of media gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the venue, and countless big-name stars were invited to attend, which can be described as star-studded and very lively.

Many netizens also watched the award ceremony through live webcast.

But the most eye-catching thing on the scene was the crew of "Wuwen Xidong".

Zhai Qing, who was nominated for Best Actor twice, and Qi Jibai, who was nominated for Best Director, are such a combination.

So as soon as the three of them stepped onto the red carpet, there were bursts of screams.

The webcast room is also swiping the screen.

"Zhai Qing is so beautiful tonight."

"Jiang Duzhou is also very handsome. I haven't watched "Wuwen Xidong", but with "Forensic Chronicle", I think he can win tonight's Best Actor."

"Once Jiang Duzhou wins the best actor, he will be the number one brother of Times Pictures."

"It's a pity, Wei Xun didn't come tonight, so I can't see the handsome guy."

"Wuwen Xidong received so many nominations, but in the end Wei Xun, the screenwriter and leading actor, got nothing. If I were Wei Xun, I wouldn't want to go either."

"Hey, I hope Wei Xun will work harder next time. You can't force things like awards."

"But judging from the trailer of "Wu Wen Xi Dong", Xun Xun is very handsome in it, not that kind of greasy handsome, but the handsome young master of the sunny rich family."

"Yes, I also watched the trailer. It should be released soon, and I will go to the cinema to watch it."

When the red carpet of the Shanghai Film Festival opened, Mao Bin was also watching the live broadcast at Wei Xun's home.

He sat on the sofa, staring at the TV screen, his face expressionless the whole time.

Wei Xun washed two apples in the kitchen, and threw one to Mao Bin when he came out, jokingly said, "Hey, you're back to your senses, look at your sour face."

Mao Bin took the apple in a hurry, then took a bite viciously, and said vaguely: "I can't get nominated, what's wrong with me, and I don't believe that Brother Xun can swallow this breath."

Wei Xun was about to eat the apple, but when he heard the words, he slowly took the apple back. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "I really can't swallow it."

Mao Bin's eyes lit up: "Brother Xun, what do you think?"

"What can I think."

Wei Xun went to the window and opened it. The temperature in Beijing in November was already very low, and the sudden cold wind made him squint his eyes: "It's not me who opened the film festival, who is more important to nominate it?" It's not up to me."

Mao Bin was a little disappointed when he heard this.

At this time, the awards ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival on TV came to an end, and Zhai Qing once again won the best actress title with "Wuwen Xidong".

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Zhai Qing came to the stage wearing a dress, and she smiled and kissed the trophy in her hand. After a sincere speech, she said seriously: "To get this trophy, I have to thank one more Very talented young man, he wasn't here tonight, but I'm sure he'll be here someday."

After saying this, the stars at the scene had different expressions.

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Because although Zhai Qing didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that she was talking about Wei Xun.

Wei Xun stood by the window, quietly listened to Zhai Qing's speech, and then said with a smile: "I will indeed stand there, right where she is standing now, do you believe it?"

Mao Bin said without any hesitation, "I believe it."

Even though Wei Xun had explained to him before, because they did it alone, the road ahead would be very, very difficult.

But difficulty does not mean that the road is not feasible.

The road that few people travel, once you go out, it is the road to the sky.

"In this circle, movies are the foundation of everything. I can write, direct, and star in myself. There is really no need to be restricted by a film company."

"I don't have the ability to publish, so I will find a cooperative channel for distribution."

"If there is no theater to support me, then I will build the theater myself."

"If no film festival is willing to take me to play, then I will take the works one by one and smash them. If all these can't be smashed, just start a film festival and play by myself."

"These broken rules are dead, but I am alive."

"I brought Huaying Media, Times Pictures and Guanchi Group into the market, and invested in the two films "Chinese Partner" and "Wuwen Xidong", just because I need them to help me fight against the pressure from Tianguang and Dynasty. pressure?"

Wei Xun's eyes are very bright at the moment, because he is near the window and the temperature is too low, he breathed white when he spoke: "I seized power on the set of these two films, and followed these three major companies, from the beginning of film production to editing , Submission, release and final screening from beginning to end, follow the old path they have traveled, and then open up my own path, who dares to say that I will not be able to become a giant in the film industry in the future?"

Mao Bin quietly listened to Wei Xun's remarks, and swallowed with some difficulty: "Could it be... a little too long ago?"

"What you said is indeed reasonable." Wei Xun agreed after hearing the words: "Then take it easy and do the things in front of you well."

Mao Bin looked bewildered: "What's going on in front of you?"

Wei Xun smiled and said, ""Wuwen Xidong" will be released soon, it's time to teach Tianguang Media how to behave."

The lawsuit failed in August, and Tianguang refused to accept it and applied for a second appeal.

That being the case, let's sink his two movies until he convinces them.

On December 12st, the movie "Wuwen Xidong" invested by Huaying Media, Times Pictures and Wei Xun was released, and it collided with the movie "Story of the Thief" invested by Tianguang Media.

At the end of the year, the last Christmas box office fight officially kicked off.
