Chapter 280 Director Shimizu Kicked Out of the Crew

The total time may not be more than three weeks, and Jiang Bai's role in the magic circle crew has been completed. The shooting without needing to intervene in other work makes Jiang Bai's life in the magic circle crew quite easy. Although the shooting of action scenes is tiring, but It's better to take a rest when you are physically tired, it's much better than the mental fatigue of the parasitic beast crew.

Yes, the filming of the parasitic beast crew can really be described as dystocia. The conflict between the investor and the crew is really serious, although Jiang Bai relied on the trust of Shengcun to make the crew's funds increase significantly , but correspondingly, Shengcun's rights were further expanded at the request of investors.

Even with the lubricating oil of Jiang Bai, the conflict between Shimizu and Shengcun became more and more irreconcilable, and investors gradually had the idea of ​​completely kicking Shimizu, because Shimizu was too uncontrollable for a professional director.

In fact, Qingshui is equivalent to helping Jiang Bai block the gun, because although Qingshui is indeed at odds with Katsumura, as a professional director, he is indeed qualified. A large part of the reason why he is uncontrollable is that he is helping Jiang Bai Engaging in guide editing makes many behaviors deviate from the requirements of investors.

However, Qing Shui has not explained Jiang Bai's situation clearly, so that everyone thinks that Qing Shui's disobedience is his own reason.Even Katsumura Kotaro said that Jiang Bai has no problems.

In addition to the director's discord, there are also problems with the people below. Regarding the special effects company before, many people don't think Jiang Bai can win Hongguang's favor. The public funds will be handled with other special effects companies.

But in the end, Jiang Bai successfully won the order from Hongguang, which led to the misappropriation of the management of the public funds. After the statistics, there were probably nearly ten million public funds in shortfall, and the two directors were almost mad. .

Although the crew was not in short supply of this money, the two directors were really tired for a while when someone acted like a rat under their noses. The final solution was to kick out the crew who had misappropriated funds privately.

The production of Parasitic Beast is also gradually coming to an end in this stumbling situation. With the completion of the shooting of the last scene, the filming stage of Parasitic Beast has come to an end, and the rest is post-production special effects and publicity work.

And just when the filming was over, the investor also suddenly made trouble, and kicked Shimizu out of the core production team on the grounds that Shimizu was only the director of photography. Finally, he settled the salary and left the crew hastily.

"During this period of time, it's very sad..." Jiang Bai and Qing Shui met in the coffee shop and gave him a final farewell.

"Well, it's really frustrating..." Qing Shui sighed softly. He has been a professional actor for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a job as a parasitic beast crew. Inexplicably, he airborne the manager, emptied the director's rights, and finally restored the director and kicked him out of the crew...

It's not so outrageous to change generals in battle.

"But it's okay, at least, the content is still finished. It's a pity that I can't participate in the editing in the end..."

"It's okay, anyway, we didn't plan to edit it in the crew at the beginning... Speaking of which, Shimizu, which company did you sign with?"

"Ah, I signed a contract before, but my contract has expired after calculation. As long as I want, I can become a freelance filmmaker at any time."

"Well...well then, I can introduce you to the Hoshino Foundation. I think people like you can have a better working environment."

"Hoshino Consortium?" Qing Shui waved his hands in fear, and said, "You really don't have to worry about me, I'm actually living a pretty good life now... Besides, after seeing your abilities, I feel that I That's the only talent you have~ Hahaha, maybe I'm not qualified enough to go to the Hoshino Foundation."

Jiang Bai stared at Qing Shui and shook his head and said: "No, I think you are qualified, but you have never had an upward idea. You are content to be a professional director. No matter what others say, how do you shoot."

"...Khan, I'm just making a living by making films~ Maybe I had the idea of ​​independent creation before, but now... well, forget it."

Directors are also different. The so-called professional directors can be understood as directors who are in the establishment. They can shoot whatever their boss asks them to do, and they can shoot whatever they want.

A pure filmmaking tool person is a professional director. For example, Wang Jing, who some people talk about every day, is a very traditional professional director. He only makes movies for the sake of making movies, without any artistic pursuit and ideological expression.

The audience is a very chaotic group. Many viewers criticize professional directors for not being conscious as creators, and the things they shoot are dead and soulless.But there are also many audiences who complain that a certain director has carried too many private goods, and they are moved there, and the audience can't understand it at all.

Film creation is an industry that is difficult to agree on. Countless creative directors have experienced the criticism, criticism, and belittling of their works, and they have chosen to stop expressing themselves and become professional directors. There are many, many.

And after becoming a professional director, because of the lack of creative spirituality, the subsequent works are generally mediocre, and then disappeared from everyone, and finally even gave up as a director.

Jiang Bai has seen too many young directors like this in the industry in his previous life. Looking at Qing Shui's current mentality, Jiang Bai really doesn't feel too familiar.

"So, you plan to be a tool person who shoots whatever other people ask you to shoot, and do it for the rest of your life? I remember your wife is an art designer, right? On the other hand, as an art designer, your wife is better than You have more creative freedom..."

Qing Shui was silent, he just smiled wryly, and said: "Sometimes, I am quite envious of those who draw manga... They can draw anything, they can draw whatever they want, they have the highest creative freedom, but the director is not a manga artist .

"They only need a pen to start creating, but directors can't create without investment, and if they want to have investment, they must abandon the self in the work."

"You have also seen, Miss Jiang Bai, as long as the investors are willing, they can take me out of the crew at any time, and then kick me out of the crew. In their eyes, I am an employee who can be replaced at any time, not a creator."

Qing Shui's words were a bit self-defeating, and Jiang Bai persuaded after listening: "So, because the investor despises you, do you despise yourself? You have always resisted in your heart, haven't you? Otherwise, how can you spare no effort? Help me complete the guide cut version? In fact, you have always had the idea of ​​independent creation, but you don't want to admit it... What is it that makes you unwilling to admit it, and what are you afraid of?"

...............

"What am I afraid of..."

Shimizu sat on the sofa and watched TV and muttered softly, although he said he was watching TV, but if you observe carefully, you will find that Qingshui's eyes have no focus at all, and he is also deaf to the programs on TV.

Mrs. Shimizu came out of the bathroom with a mask on her face, sat next to her husband, and asked curiously: "What are you muttering about? Still thinking about being kicked out by the crew? I don't think it's necessary, anyway, they It’s not that you haven’t been paid wages, as long as you can earn money, that’s fine.”

"...Yeah... At least they paid me... But, it should have been my work from start to finish..."

Shimizu's soliloquies made his wife startled. She opened her masked eyes and looked at her husband, as if meeting her for the first time.

"That's not like what you would say..."

"Oh? Then what is it like what I said?"

"According to your previous personality, either you just keep your head silent, keep your head low for a day or two, and then look for a new job, or you just show an indifferent appearance and just say give me money. This is the first time you have treated yourself The work is so persistent.”

"...Oh, so I used to look like this in your eyes?"

"It's not that you are bad. Actually, as a professional director, you don't need to think about those messy things. It's just that you have a good attitude as a job...Anyway, as an art designer, no matter how much I regard it as a job , and creation cannot be avoided, and once creation is involved, it is easy to fall into the pain of self-contradiction and self-distortion, and sometimes it is very tiring."

After hearing this, Qing Shui's expression turned cold, and he asked, "So...do you think it's good for me to be a professional director?"

"...I can't say... Indeed, creation is a distressing and contradictory thing. Behind every flash of inspiration is countless days and nights of self-expression and then self-denial. This feeling It's like twisting and pulling my heart like a sponge, squeezing out my blood in a cruel way."

"It's tiring to torture yourself, but... when the work is born from your own hands, you will feel an unparalleled catharsis. At that moment, you will find that it is all worth it, husband... Since as a writer To create people, you still need to have that passion for self-expression.”

Qing Shui's expression was slightly stunned, and he kept thinking about his wife's last words, and he had to have a passion for self-expression...

At this moment, Qing Shui seemed to have an answer in his heart...

.........

"Mr. Shimizu...you...do you think the company's treatment is not good or the salary is not satisfactory?" The chairman looked at the resignation letter in his hand while looking at Kenichi Shimizu, who was sitting in front of him with a flat face. It is as uncomfortable as constipation that has been held in for a long time.

He didn't know why Jianyi Shimizu, who had always worked hard, resigned from the company. You must know that in a company like theirs, the departure of any of its filmmakers would have a considerable impact on the company's finances.

Moreover, Kenichi Shimizu was the most powerful among the company's professional directors, and his departure directly lowered the company's competitiveness by a notch.

"No no, in fact, I have always been very grateful for the cultivation of me by the company, but I have been thinking a lot recently. I have been a professional director for so many years, and I have a lot of ideas in my heart... I want to really make a movie. It's my own movie..."

"...you want to be an independent filmmaker?"

"Ah, so be it."

"..."

There is nothing wrong with Shimizu Kenichi's appeal, including that the contract has expired long ago. He can leave whenever he wants, even the chairman can't stop him. Neng reluctantly agreed to this resignation.

Seeing Qingshui going away, the chairman became more and more angry. He really couldn't figure out why Qingshui, a professional social animal director who had always been conscientious and conscientious, suddenly had a twitch and wanted to pursue poetry and Yuanfang. What hit him?

hit...

correct!A few days ago, Qing Shui seemed to be kicked out after being ostracized by the investor of the Parasite Crew?

correct!Absolutely!It's definitely because of this incident!I'm so mad, I'm a film and television resource company, and I don't have many capable people, and your investors messed up one of my generals to make an emo, don't bring such a scam!

"Where's the secretary! Secretary, come here! I want you to go to the entertainment news agency now, and tell me about the parasitic beast crew... Just call, shock! Unscrupulous investors parachute executives, force the director away, parasitic Beast TV is stillborn!"

"What? No stillbirth? Who cares, what authenticity does entertainment news need? Just tell the news agency that as long as it involves forcing the director away, they can make up any topic they want, the more outrageous the better! I'll kill those investors The deer's face is all ripped off!"

Chapter 280 IX Running with a Bucket!

Jiang Bai soon found out about Jianyi Shimizu's departure from his contracted company. She was not surprised that Jianyi Shimizu left, but what surprised her more was that Shimizu did not find a new company. I heard that he chose to be a new company. A freelance filmmaker, intending to make independent films.

Good guy, she really didn't expect what she said a few days ago to be so effective, even a bit too effective. Her initial thought was to see Shimizu's excellence in personnel scheduling, and wanted to poach him under Mao's banner, I will help myself to make movies in the future.

Although it is just a change of working environment, there is no doubt that the environment on Mao's side is much more free, which is also good for Shimizu.

But I didn't expect Jianyi Shimizu to be so free, he didn't change jobs, and went directly to make independent films... Hey, Dongying is making independent films...

Jiang Bai is quite pessimistic about Qing Shui.

Of course, Jiang Bai will not go to persuade or anything, after all, people have made up their minds with their own words, so if they go to pour cold water again, wouldn't they be beaten?

The departure of Jianyi Shimizu also has another impact. I don’t know if it’s someone who has a heart to spread rumors. This is actually not uncommon in the production process. "The main director was dismissed, and the parasite was stillborn!" News.

The first half is fine, but what kind of headline party is the stillborn in the back! ?I, the assistant director, was still filming, why did I die in the womb?

There is no doubt that this is a very typical shocking rumor. Look at the "it is said", "relevant sources", "speculated", and "probably possible" in the article that there will be a game in each paragraph. But it feels unreliable that this is going to overflow the screen.

However, who made the audience love this kind of fancy work?So this report has undoubtedly occupied the headlines of today's entertainment, and netizens who don't know what's in it naturally fry the pot in the comment area.

"It's true. My uncle works in their crew. The TV show of Parasitic Beast is basically G."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about upstairs? Let's put it aside to spread rumors. The crew is still working. Who is your uncle?"

"Hehe, I think what you're talking about is bullshit. The director is gone, so you're still making a fart? Besides, it's empty words. Where did you hear that the crew is still working? You're the one spreading rumors."

"Hey, it's as if you have evidence. Your uncle works on the crew? Do you have an uncle? Why don't you just say that you are a crew member?"

"Believe it or not, if you have the ability to prove that the crew is still working, you can also provide evidence. I have at least relatives to testify. What can you prove? Which onion are you?"

"Hey~ I'm your uncle! Don't you want evidence! How about I take a photo of your crew?"

.jpg

"Come on, come on, nephew, come and call me uncle~"

"Woc, this floor is absolutely dead, and all the insiders have been caught out."

"Eldest nephew, where are you, come and call me uncle, come here~"

"People, don't run away, and then talk about what Uncle Bi revealed to you."

"Boss, you're such a smug bastard, you just have to accept your supernatural powers!"

Basically, anyone with a little savvy can feel that this report is unreliable, so this article soon proved to be a baseless fabrication.

What really set the tone for this matter was the official announcement from the parasitic beast.

"The production of Parasite is still in progress. It is a pity that Director Shimizu Kenichi did not go well with the crew, which led to difficulties in filming. Therefore, out of cost considerations, the production committee finally decided to replace Director Shimizu Kenichi. Afterwards, Katsumura Kotaro will be the director of the film..."

Under the official style of spring and autumn, Kenichi Shimizu's resignation is portrayed as a difficult relationship between himself and the crew, but this kind of statement is of no use. There are two things before and after, and people are more willing to believe what happened first. .

Moreover, issuing a statement to refute the rumors so quickly, on the contrary, has a feeling of trying to cover up, and it will only appear more unreliable.

All in all, this impromptu change of parasitic beasts will be regarded as a hit. Sometimes netizens are even more enthusiastic about exploring this kind of news than paparazzi, so some people soon collected all the information about parasitic beasts.

The speed even made Jiang Bai a little ashamed. However, after watching it for a while, Jiang Bai lost interest. The incident of the director's resignation was helpful to her plan. Now the public opinion of this matter has been successfully influenced, and it is also It laid the foundation for the dissemination of the guide cut version in the future. Since it is developing in a good direction, Jiang Bai will no longer take care of it.

I am just a filmmaker in the crew, no matter how influential the public opinion is, the filmmaker Jiang Bai will also become the object of public criticism, and this kind of public opinion affects more the decision-makers of investors and distributors.

The coolies of Jiang Bai's film crew, this kind of thing will not affect them little guys.

However, Jiang Bai still somewhat underestimated the impact of this matter on the crew, because when she came to the crew the next day, she received a message that made him wonder if the decision-makers were brain-twitching.

"It's not good, deputy director, the decision-makers actually plan to discard the material shot by Director Shimizu, and then ask Katsumura Kotaro to conduct a full reshoot." Xiaodao Bingxiang ran to the deputy director's office with a worried face and told Jiang Bai. Watching the CD that just came out.

At this moment, Jiang Bai was making a cup of instant coffee in the office. When she heard this, she couldn't help but paused slightly while making coffee, and stood by the table for a while.

After standing in a daze for a while, Jiang Bai continued to pour water to make her own coffee. Then, she slowly sat back on her seat holding the coffee cup, sipping the corner of her mouth lightly, taking a sip of coffee from time to time, her expression not knowing whether it was worry or joy.

And Jiang Bai is worried or happy...

She wants to laugh like a thief now!She was originally worried that it would be a bit unreliable to release the guide cut version just because of Shimizu's departure. After all, the final version released is so different from the finished product, it will make hair investors suspect that there is a problem. If it is not handled properly, it may There is a lawsuit.

However, now the decision-makers actually jumped into Jiang Bai's pit by themselves, and even took the initiative to reshoot, which directly gave Jiang Bai a very suitable origin and cause of the guide cut version, and the whole plan fit perfectly in an instant.

Jiang Bai didn't know why the decision-makers suddenly issued this order. It may be that the reason for the public opinion in the past few days made them hate Qingshui, so much that they hated the house and the house, and even hated the things that were photographed with Qingshui.

This seems reasonable.

Although it is stupid,

Because cultural creation is an extremely subjective matter, no matter how much you analyze, you can’t be sure whether a work will make money or not. Sometimes the decision-makers rely on their brains and impulsiveness to promote the production of film and television.So it's really normal to do this kind of thing in a fit of anger.

Tsk, I didn't expect Qing Shui to do me another favor after leaving, treat him to a meal another day.

This is the first time she has seen a prey helping to perfect a hunting trap, so that she doesn't know what expression to express her inner thoughts.

In the end, he could only put down his coffee, and complained to Kojima in a teasing tone: "The decision-makers, I'm afraid they've lost their minds."

"So, Assistant Director, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Ha, it's simple, use the same to respond to all changes."

Jiang Bai took a sip of coffee calmly.

……

"I disagree!"

Jiang Bai, as the production committee, expressed his protests to the producers, investors, filmmakers, and other personnel without hesitation.
