Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 12 Problem Script
A week later, Li Chen found Teacher Li with the script.

"I was just looking for you, and here you are."

"Teacher, please help me check and see if this script can pass. I'm a little unsure."

Teacher Li smiled and said, "You are quite efficient. It's only been a week since you came back, and you have finished the script so quickly."

“In fact, it has been brewing for a long time.”

"Please sit down and pour yourself some water. I'll take a look first."

The more Teacher Li read, the more solemn his expression became. After almost an hour, he closed the script.

"Teacher, how is it?"

“It’s hard to say. It’s undoubtedly a good book, but the content could easily cross the line.”

"The idea is ingenious and imaginative, and only you people born in the 80s would dare to think of it."

"I'm a little unsure, after all, this kind of realistic subject matter is easy to be labeled."

"How about this, you come with me, I'll take you to see someone and let him check it out."

"Who is it, teacher?"

"Haha, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Teacher Tian, ​​it was Teacher Tian who specifically asked to see you, so let's go."

Li Chen met one of the representative figures of the fifth generation of directors in the department director's office.

After being banned from directing for ten years, he can't stay idle as soon as the ban was lifted. Love in May, alas.

This guy is a classmate of Zhang Yimou and the poet.

He is dressed simply, like a pragmatic old farmer.

Li Chen felt respect for him. He had heard about his story.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I brought the person to you."

"Hello, Teacher Tian. I'm Li Chen."

"Haha, everyone, please sit down. I mentioned you to Yifei the other day, so I asked you to come over to meet me today."

"I watched your Lost on Journey. Although it's a bit crude, the plot is tight and there are many funny moments. It's not bad to be able to shoot such a first movie."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I heard that you have also finished filming your second drama. What are your plans next?"

Li Chen glanced at Teacher Li.

Teacher Li smiled and said, "Teacher Tian, ​​I was just about to tell you."

"Please take a look at this script first and help Li Chen check it. I'm a little unsure whether it can pass or not."

"Haha, young people are really efficient. There's some tea in the cupboard. You two can pour it out while I take a look."

Li Chen took the initiative to serve as a waiter.

Teacher Tian read very slowly, and Teacher Li sat for a while and then left.

Li Chen and Teacher Tian were the only ones left in the office.

After almost two hours, Teacher Tian closed the script.

Li Chen handed the teacup to the old man.

Teacher Tian didn't say any unnecessary words: "Just hand it over, I'll help you think of a solution."

Li Chen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Teacher Tian."

The fifth generation directors’ connections are incomparable to those of the sixth generation.

The Film Association, the Screenwriters Guild, the Directors Guild, I have acquaintances everywhere.

"Is this the book you are planning to use to win a prize?"

"Uh, yes"

"Where are you going?"

Li Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher Tian, ​​I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I want to try Cannes."

Tian Zhuangzhuang was not surprised, and nodded, saying, "You can try. This book is qualified."

"Have you ever thought about pursuing graduate studies in the future? I know your academic performance, which is outstanding in the department."

"To be honest with you, Mr. Tian, ​​I haven't thought about this yet, but now that you've mentioned it, I think I'll think about it carefully when I get down here."

The next day, Li Chen handed over the notebook.

Since Teacher Tian has agreed, I believe there will be no problem with the script.

Now it’s a question of actors. Li Chen doesn’t plan to work alone this time.

After all, this script is meant to win an award. If it can be shortlisted, it will be much easier to sell the copyright and involve China Film.

Among the six roles of grandma, dad, mom, sister-in-law, son, and daughter, he only had a candidate in mind for grandma, Teacher Lü Ying.

On December 3th, Infernal Affairs held its premiere in Beijing.

I heard that at the premiere, the slogan shouted was "surpass Lost on Journey" and won the annual box office championship in one fell swoop.

On the first day of its release, Infernal Affairs 3 earned 385 million, with good reputation and box office.

But don’t forget, there’s also the hot hatchback phone lurking around.

When Li Chen heard that Teacher Tian was looking for him, he wondered if there was something wrong with the notebook.

When they met, Teacher Tian said, "I'll let you know when the book is approved."

"Ah? Thank you, Mr. Tian. I thought there was something wrong with the notebook."

"hehe."

Li Chen could see that Teacher Tian must have made great efforts, and he hurriedly thanked him again and again.

Tian Zhuangzhuang waved his hand: "Do you have a candidate in mind for the role?"

"To be honest with you, Mr. Tian, ​​I have a candidate in mind for the role of grandma, but I don't have any other candidates."

"Haha, I was planning to recommend someone to you, but since you already have a candidate, I won't bother with that."

"It's not decided yet who Teacher Tian is going to recommend, but Teacher Tian's vision is definitely good."

"Lü Ying"

"what?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Li Chen who was surprised and said with a smile: "Why? Inappropriate?"

"No, no, no, it's perfect. The one I like is Teacher Lu."

"I was thinking that if I couldn't invite Teacher Lu, I would ask Teacher Tian to help. After all, Teacher Lu played the role of your Blue Kite."

"Haha, okay, you go ahead and invite me first. If you have any questions, come to me."

"Thank you, Teacher Tian. Thank you."

After Li Chen left, Tian Zhuangzhuang made a phone call and the call was connected.

"Director Tian"

"Sister Lu."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Zhuangzhuang looked forward to the film being released sooner.

He kind of likes this student.

He is indeed talented. This is the first time he has encountered someone at this age who can write such a profound script.

Tian Zhuangzhuang originally thought that Li Chen would at least attend a premiere for some socializing, but it turned out that the guy didn't even go to one.

In fact, Tian Zhuangzhuang really misunderstood Li Chen.

The reason he didn't go was that he didn't want to be a background for others.

On the 3th, the movie was released on mobile phones, and the box office of Infernal Affairs 360 dropped by % from million the previous day.

It has to be said that Feng's comedies will have a place in the Lunar New Year box office for at least the next decade or so.

However, although the box office of the mobile phone movie surpassed that of Infernal Affairs 3, its reputation was far worse than that of Infernal Affairs 3.

Office of the Vice Director of China Film Group.

Han Sanping's cell phone rang and he looked at the caller ID.

Han Sanping answered the phone: "Hello"

"Heh, I thought you were planning to go it alone again. Okay, come over here, I'm here."

I arrived at the China Film Academy and met Han Sanping.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Director Han, your office is equivalent to two of our department dean's offices."

"You are so careless. Your script is causing a huge uproar over there."

"Ah? No way, Teacher Tian told me that it's passed."

"Humph, you're lucky to have met Old Tian. Tell me, are you short of money or people?"

“Both are bad.”

"Well, what's the budget? A script that can make those people quarrel must be good. Have you ever thought about competing with the three major ones?"

"To be honest with you, Mr. Han, I do have this plan. And I hope this film can be released in Southeast Asia, and I'll need your help then."

China Film Corporation holds the import and export rights, so if this film wants to go abroad, it has to go through China Film Corporation.
