Chapter 406: Unpopular Movies (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Regarding Wang Chong's sudden words, everyone around Director Li Wenmou's faces looked bad.
For them, although Wang Chong already has a high talent in music, to be honest, they think Wang Chong is still far from being in the movie.
Maybe he has filmed some characters before and has received good responses, such as the film "Hello! Mr. Tree!" a few years ago, and the response was very good, but these are too limited.
You know, movies like Mr. Shu can be filmed by anyone present.
Isn’t it just a miserable thing? Who can’t? But what they are pursuing now is not this, but making money.
Money, money, life is connected.
Which movies on the world rankings are not a big hit? They just disdain to shoot such emotional art films.
To put it in the words of a big director, "I never make art films, you only make art films. Your whole family goes to make art films. I want to make money, I just want to make money..."
Therefore, they took it for granted that they believed that Wang Chong wanted to adapt the movie, but might want to change the movie to the direction of art films.
Although the people around Director Li Wenmou looked bad, Li Wenmou respected Wang Chong very much and asked: "If you have a good idea, you can talk about it. We can discuss it."
Wang Xintou said: "I have already made a rough script, please read it."
After taking the script, Li Wenmou started reading it.
Because it is not perfect, at first glance, Li Wenmou frowned: "This seems to be a prison escape theme."
He is worthy of being Director Li, and he can tell at a glance.
Wang Chong said: "Yes, it's on the subject of jailbreak, but it's also about philosophy and some content that discusses life."
At this moment, not only the people around Li Wenmou, but also Li Wenmou and Congjie were speechless.
The capital market values big-selling movies. It’s no exaggeration to say that if the third-level films can be released and made a big profit, the big-name directors promise to go to shoot third-level films one by one.
What kind of movies about philosophy and life are Wang Chong now, basically this kind of movie is definitely a failure.
Of course, many directors have made such movies.
But these directors are basically famous. They can afford to lose, and they play or get awards while filming.
As Wang Chong's first movie to be launched, if he is not good at his career, it will be very bad for his future development.
"Jian Jie, why don't you think about it again?" Sister Cong asked.
"Yes, the plot you wrote is good, but this kind of thing..." Li Wenmou shook his head: "The risk is too great."
"This is my first movie." Wang Chong thought for a while and said tactfully: "It really doesn't work. Please ask Director Li to direct it for me."
Li Wenmou smiled bitterly. He now understood that Wang Chong did not like his script. He simply wanted to make a movie by himself. He also knew that he was not capable, so he asked him to direct it.
"Jean Jie, there is no problem with me directing it, but you have thought about it. You still need to think about this movie. Otherwise, you can also participate in the directing of this movie."
This is equivalent to inviting Wang Chong to participate in the dividends of this movie.
This condition is not bad, but unfortunately, Wang Chong shook his head again: "Director Li, why don't you do this? I will shoot my movie first. Then the original location will take you. What do you think?"
Sister Cong was speechless to Wang Chong, and wanted to secretly persuade Wang Chong to think about it carefully.
Director Li Wenmou and the people around him frowned at what Wang Chong said.
However, due to Wang Chong's current status in the music scene, they couldn't say anything.
"Okay, Jet, let's discuss it after you go back."
"Well, I hope you think about it carefully. Although this movie is not visible at the moment, many details have not been perfected in my mind. After it is done, I will give you a closer look."
The two people chatted for a while and then went back.
Wang Chong did not go back to his own home, but thought that he should set up a studio.
These days, he has been running back and forth for movies and music. Not only is he tired, but he has not done anything key.
If this continues, he is afraid that things will not be done well and he will be exhausted first.
Therefore, after only thinking carefully, he decided to set up a studio, recruit some staff, run errands for him, do business, etc.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong. Wang Chong and Sister Cong came to a cafe. They sat in the corner. Because they were wearing baseball caps, no one paid attention to him in a short time.
"We need to find some staff." Sister Cong was not surprised by Wang Chong's request, after all, Wang Chong's workload is getting bigger and bigger now.
Originally, Wang Chong also provided some followers in the company, but that was at work.
Usually when Wang Chong does his own business, these followers don’t follow him.
"Well, to be honest, Sister Cong, I built a school in my hometown and may have to build a school in the future. These things need to be followed up by people."
"What do you think about the staff members whom you had assigned to before in the company?"
"Those are old fry."
Wang Chong didn't say it clearly, but Sister Cong was so smart that she could hear it all at once.
If public figures like Wang Chong are not trustworthy, it is easy to cause something.
For example, the agent next to you suddenly gives you a hat, the driver takes you to the lady and calls the police to arrest you, and there are also many secretly taking pictures of celebrities and selling them out.
There are too many examples of this.
Wang Chong continued: "It is best for those schools that have just come out of the school, have a clean identity and background, and can also promote employment rates."
The latter sentence was joking, and Sister Cong smiled and said, "Talk about it, the company has been recruiting recently, so I will pay attention to a few of them."
"Okay, thank you Sister Cong."
……………………
After returning home, Wang Chong continued to improve the movie he prepared.
About five days later, through the memories in his mind, Wang Chong plagiarized all the lines in the movie.
After finishing it, he called Li Wenmou.
"Director Li, the movie I talked about a few days ago has been almost complete. I will transfer the files to you and see how it is." As soon as I answered the phone, Wang Chong explained the matter directly.
Li Wenmou sighed on the other end of the phone, and to be honest, if he had changed someone, he would have ignored it.
However, Wang Chong is different now. He is a big shot in the music industry. His reputation is not only in China, but also in foreign countries. This is not worthy of offending.
Moreover, this movie is the first movie to be released by Wang Chong, which is of great significance. Not to mention anything else, even if it is a shabby movie, it will definitely be a big hit as soon as it is launched.
But it may not be possible to applaud.
But one thing is certain, that is to make money.
So in fact, after Li Wenmou and his companions returned, they thought about it and decided to take over Wang Chong's movie.
"Okay, let me see later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chong passed the document through his mobile phone.
Next is waiting.
And on Sister Cong's side, he also looked for five young men and women.
These people have graduated for two or three years and have some experience, but they are quite realistic.
Later, I went to Congjie's office and Wang Chong looked at it. These five were three men and two women, with an average appearance and a honest look.
Now I don’t know the specific work abilities of these people, so Wang Chong kept them all.
Afterwards, Congjie agreed to the work contract. The contract, like all celebrity assistants, had strict rules and treaties.
For example, it is strictly forbidden to disclose Wang Chong's whereabouts, it is strictly forbidden to photograph anything or things of Wang Chong, it is strictly forbidden to gossip, and it is strictly forbidden to do anything that hurts Wang Chong......
There are many contents of the treaty, which fully protects Wang Chong's own rights and interests.
Of course, Wang Chong's conditions are also very generous, with an annual salary of more than 150,000 yuan. If you do well, you will get a bonus at the end of the year.
Among them are meals, telephone charges and transportation subsidies.
The only disadvantage is that he has no freedom. Wang Chong has a phone call and as an assistant, he has to come to work.
With an assistant, everything is much more convenient. As long as you ask me, someone will do things for him.
A month later, after several discussions, Wang Chong and Li Wenmou finally confirmed that they started filming movies.
Originally, Li Wenmou read the movie script at the beginning, but he was a little unpopular.
But after Wang Chong improved the details, he realized that this movie was really linked and full of suspense.
Even from beginning to end, the audience didn't know how the protagonist planned to escape from prison alone.
After understanding the movie script, Li Wenmou suddenly realized that this movie would not only be a big hit, but also be praised.
The movie is still in the confidential stage. The outside world only knows that the two of them work together, but it is not clear what type of movie to shoot.
However, insiders of Li Wenmou and Wang Chong knew that this movie was called "Shawshank Redemption".
A different life of a demon
