This director needs to apologize

Chapter 126 A general who doesn’t understand the rules is a wild general
Why the mentality?
Because Mr. Han is not a human being, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is equivalent to a guest appearance by Bai Xiaosheng, who compiled a weapon list for many stars.

The movie began to be exposed at the end of last year, and since then it can be said that there has been a wave of news every week, with the names of various stars coming and going like a revolving door.

All-stars receive zero pay, and Mr. Han has successfully turned this project into a long-term hot topic. It seems that being a part of it means official approval, and playing a role implies a status in the world.

After playing the guessing game until April, basically all famous celebrities from China were taken out by Han Sanye for a walk. Only then did he realize that the situation was a little out of control. There were too many people and he couldn't arrange them.

After all, the scale of this show is too large, and the political meaning interpreted by the public is too obvious.

Not only have a large number of stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan come forward to show their faces, but the scope of casting in the mainland has also expanded from actors to actors in sketches, plays, singers, and film actors. Even singers and writers have come. Some come to join in the fun.

In the script, a certain star or a certain actor has already been arranged for the non-speaking bit parts, and the story line is being expanded again and again. If it is expanded, the movie will reach 4 hours.

Mr. Han had no choice but to politely reject the latecomer. The film was shot with the maximum number of scenes and then cut to the standard length after filming.

In this way, at least the stars whose scenes were cut can be put in the "Special Performances" column, so that people will not go to the show in vain.

When Mr. Ma Erye told Chen Yiming about this fun, his face almost broke with laughter.

Of course, melon-eating netizens don’t know the twists and turns inside. Their sources of information are only true and false news, so some of them are watching the excitement and taking stock of the list of participants in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" week by week.

At first, everyone will be shocked by the name of this film. As the list gets longer and longer, the focus of attention gradually changes.

198 actors is a lot, but it is not enough to catch all the stars in the Chinese-speaking world. There are still many "leftovers" that have slipped through the net.

It's not terrible to win, but it's embarrassing to miss someone.

Actors and stars are actually not the same thing. The military art troupe has no star flavor at all, and is naturally insulated from "The Founding of a People's Republic", which is the number one hit in the film industry this year.

Of course, Hou Yong and others will not find fault with Mr. Han. They are not on the same path as the people in the Diquan Circle.

But when the time entered May and the cast of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" "overflowed", the circle suddenly realized that this year's tribute drama seemed to be not only "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", but also "5" manipulated by a ghost.

If you can't squeeze into "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", you can only sulk yourself. Who can't afford to offend Mr. Han? But how can a new director dare to be so arrogant?
So the object was instantly converted and upgraded to a higher level.

After exchanging information over a few drinks and a few games, everyone soon discovered that "1951" was quietly approaching completion, and would most likely be released before "The Founding of the People's Republic of China."

The second work written and directed by China's "number one director", just like "Holiday in the Magic City", he organized his own team, found people and set up his own team, and the whole process was tightly concealed from the outside world, as if in I deliberately keep a distance from the Chinese film industry.

Moreover, this is another project for overseas!

But he did it!
You can treat your debut as a newcomer and ignorant, but now you are working on a main theme project that is parallel to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". You are still working on it so quietly. It's so disrespectful!

Has the script been circulated among the circles? Shouldn’t the seniors have been allowed to read it first and choose the roles?

Liu Dongjun, who is it? Let a sophomore in high school play the leading role. Is this the creative attitude of the main theme?

Hou Yong, Duan Yining, Zhang Yi, Maodou, and Zhang Yu are all unknown or unknown. Do you still want to take the box office?
You run away from the seminar in the Imperial Capital as soon as it comes. There are so many seniors in the industry at the venue, so you just ignore it completely?
All kinds of resentments are intertwined together and condensed into one sentence, this kid doesn't understand the rules!

When Chen Yiming was at a loss, he had already vaguely made countless enemies in the circle. I don't know how many people were waiting for the Waterloo of "1951" to make this "upstart" who didn't understand the rules reveal his true colors overnight.

To be honest, how could Chen Yiming, a veteran who had been in the TV drama industry for more than ten years in his previous life, not understand the rules?

The film industry and drama industry in China are originally the same circle, so how different can the so-called rules be?
The problem is that he has only traveled through time for 10 short months, and he is so busy every day that his limited brain cannot process too much external information, making it difficult for him to get rid of the inherent perception of being a bastard director in his previous life.

To put it bluntly, he has no idea about his soaring status and still thinks of himself as a little kid.

The first important thing about being in a circle is that people of any level should have words and deeds of a certain level. It doesn't matter whether they are high or low.

No matter how much the seniors criticize Chen Yiming for being "lucky," they have to admit that this is a cutting-edge director with awards and achievements, and more importantly, there are benefits to hooking up with him.

Whether it is domestic box office, overseas fame, or red carpet appearances, they are as rare as a beacon in the dark night.

Chen Yiming may not care about Lily's Montreal movie queen or Gu Yuehe's popularity, but for ambitious stars, who wouldn't envy them?

According to the "realm division" of China's entertainment industry, Chen Yiming's current level is equivalent to the "Foundation-Building Great Perfection". As long as "1951" hits the box office again or wins an overseas award, he will immediately "survive the calamity and achieve a golden elixir."

At this level, there is no need to improve in business. The next focus should be on running the business circle, actively embracing peers and working together.

Sun Wangquan back then was a clear counterexample. After winning the Berlin Golden Bear, he was still not accommodating. He was so arrogant that he didn't understand. However, it didn't matter if the box office was high. Every movie he made after that was criticized.It's a pity that Chen Yiming didn't have this consciousness, and he thought he was cutting down slimes in Novice Village, and he didn't realize that he had turned into a sword fairy.

If there is no mountain, I will live in the mountain. In the past two months, interested people have been asking around about Chen Yiming's movements, but this guy lives in seclusion. He is either on the set or in the studio, so there is no chance for him to have a "chance encounter".

As "1951" gradually became popular and gained momentum, once "Ark" was dropped, it was the only one in the entire August schedule.

Chen Yiming still hasn't made any move to "enter the public" and is still the same mysterious person.

Everyone tossed and turned and asked for it, but couldn't get it. Wouldn't love give rise to hatred?
Returning to the theater scene, Chen Yiming was socializing while wondering why the theater manager was so polite to a working-class director like him, to the point of being flattering.

As everyone knows, many managers who meet him for the first time are also surprised by Chen Yiming's good temper, which is completely inconsistent with the rumored image of a proud young man who looks down on others.

They have seen a lot of young directors, including grassroots, academic, second-generation, and returnees. Most are short-lived directors, followed by those who disappear into the crowd, and those who are famous and rare.

No matter which one you choose, being high-spirited and reprimanding Fang Qiu is the typical image of a young director. He will never look back until he hits a wall.

It’s just that the error tolerance rate in the film industry is extremely low, and most directors only have one chance to hit the wall.

The few directors who have broken through the southern wall will be educated by reality and know a little about the world, but their deep-rooted contempt for their peers and their downward gaze cannot hide from the sharp eyes of these managers.

For example, Professor Lu Yichuan, the standard-bearer of second-generation directors in the industry, is famous for his polite and gentlemanly character, but in fact, his emotional control is not that bad. He has been caught countless times losing his temper in public.

Now the managers have finally met an anomaly. Chen Yiming is really without edges and corners, and is too smooth to look like a 25-year-old young man.

Thinking back to the news from the crew of "1951", Chen Yiming never used foul language during filming. Is it true?
Can a director still have the temperament of a Bodhisattva?
impossible!Absolutely impossible!
Under Chen Yiming's push and pull, the pleasantries with the theater manager gradually came to an end.

Asking these managers to evaluate whether a movie can sell for money can be almost [-]-[-] correct, but it is a bit difficult for them to discuss the art of film in different ways.

In the end, the straight-tempered Zhang Lili stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Director Chen, do you have any new plans after "1951"?"

Chen Yiming's only thought at the moment was that Ge You was paralyzed, so he answered one by one, "I've been going through the past six months, and I plan to take a long vacation. I don't have any new ideas for the time being."

Lao Gong smiled and interjected, "Director Chen, once "1951" is released, even if you are known as a prolific and fast shooter, you cannot live up to the public's expectations. If you don't work harder, the majority of movie fans will not agree."

Chen Yiming pretended not to hear the temptation in his words, and waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I am young and ignorant, and I am still a primary school student in the film industry. Next, I have to study hard and recharge my batteries."

Zhang Lili really couldn't stand the clumsy duet in front of him, so he interrupted Gong Yifan's reading and explained his intention to Chen Yiming.

"Director Chen, our New Film Alliance has great sincerity and hopes to participate in your future new film plans."

Zhang Lili made a start, as if a floodgate suddenly opened. None of the other theater managers turned into Mr. Zhang, and they all said "Me too"!
Chen Yiming was shocked. When did theater chains become so interested in film production?

Isn’t it nice to collect good tolls? Why get involved in a bad deal like film investment with high risks and low returns?

Moreover, as a theater chain under Moying, is it really okay for New Film Alliance to directly poach the investment department of its own group?

Chen Yiming believes that theater chains collect money on the ground, and 10% of the box office is divided into drought and flood guarantees, which is a first-class advantage in the film industry chain.

As everyone knows, theater managers are also aware of their own hardships.

Intermediaries in all walks of life will think about expanding upstream and downstream.

The reason is very simple. There is only one consequence of not expanding, which is that the upstream and downstream predators who have completed the integration of this field will be freed up to grab the grass and beat the rabbit.

Last year's round of theater construction has given rise to this trend. For real estate developers interested in entering the theater industry, theater chains that take 10% of the box office are the closest and most eye-catching.

Cinema chains cannot afford to offend the 50% of theater owners in the downstream. The only way out is to go upstream and strengthen their industry influence by deeply integrating with film production links, which will amplify the difficulty of integration for real estate owners.

This strategy applies to all cinema chains, even the New Film Alliance and United Cinemas, which are backed by Phantom Film. They also need to be oriented towards departmental interests and have the need to strengthen their own industrial status.

The so-called deep binding, to put it bluntly, means binding interests. In China, which has a single income, it is equivalent to binding box office. To be more specific, it is binding directors and stars.

However, looking at the Chinese film industry, it has long been a self-contained system based on the responsibility for film production. There are only a handful of directors and stars with box office appeal, and each has its own circle.

It was not easy for Chen Yiming, an "opposition military general", to emerge. After a round of testing, he found that he was still an all-rounder with a 95+ in four dimensions. Can the starving theater manager not take action?
