Zhao Wei finished the press conference in the morning and left in the afternoon.

Before leaving, he called Wang Dalun and said that he had made himself miserable at the press conference and looked very pitiful. He apologized very sincerely. He stood up several times and pointed at the camera to apologize to the people of the whole country. He also analyzed his shortcomings in historical knowledge in an extremely profound way, and expressed that he would strengthen his studies in the future and strive to be an actor with both moral integrity and art.

Of course she was not stupid either. Although she did not name her name, she still pointed out the tricks of the magazine in a vague way, leaving enough room for the reporters present to imagine.

After the press conference, in her words, she did everything she could do. As for what happened later, she could only leave it to fate. Instead of being chased by reporters here, it would be better to go back to Xinjiang to continue filming.

Sure enough, the evening newspapers that day, entertainment news from Beijing TV station, and newspapers on the next day all reported the press conference. The media's attitude changed a lot compared to before, and most of them expressed affirmation of Zhao Wei's apology and pointed the finger at the magazine. But a small number of them still chased Zhao Wei and fought hard. Of course, the tricks in this are self-evident.

There are basically two groups on the Internet. One group, like most media, pointed the finger at the magazine, but the other group, under the instigation of the navy, attacked Zhao Wei even more violently.

Although this result is not ideal, the situation has improved significantly compared to the previous condemnations across the country. The idea that Wang Dalun gave her was successful, and of course it is also inseparable from Zhao Wei's "acting skills".

In fact, this kind of apology cannot be said to be faked. After all, as a public figure, wearing the wrong clothes and being criticized, it is definitely worth it. Apology is necessary. Strengthening learning is also to be more careful in the future and give others less chances to hinder them. But at the same time, in order to calm the public's anger, appropriate performance is also necessary. Even those bold words of "artists with both virtue and art" who are officially recognized as "artists with both virtue and art" when facing the camera, do you dare to say that this is not a performance?

Under strong public pressure, the magazine had to come out to apologize to the public the next day. Two days later, the relevant departments intervened in time and summoned the person in charge of the magazine.

I don’t know whether it was because of the pressure from the relevant departments or because of guilt, the day after the head of the magazine was summoned by the relevant departments, the planner in charge of this column, that is, the woman named Zhou who dug a hole for Zhao Wei, was forced to resign.

As the dog-headed military advisor who helped Zhao Wei overcome the crisis this time, Wang Dalun naturally left, hiding in his arms and reputation. He continued to shoot the manhole cover step by step, and the shooting process was very smooth. He calculated that he would basically be able to finish the film by the middle of this month.

He calculated that he had taken the seafood filmed at the beginning of the year, and he made four movies and one TV series this year, which was the hardest and most productive year since the film industry. Even if it wasn't included seafood, the combined salary of a box exceeded 800,000. It's time to take a break, and then he would accompany his girlfriend to travel to Hong Kong for a trip. Wouldn't it be awesome!

"I'm a poor student and I don't have much money."

This is the first sentence that Li Yang and Liu Qingbang said when they first met in a tavern.

He had just returned from Germany at that time and did not have much savings.

As a director majoring in the TV department of Beijing Radio Institute from 1985 to 1987; from 1988 to 1990 to the Department of Art History at the Liberal University of West Berlin; from 1990 to 1992 to the Department of Drama at the University of Munich; from 1992 to 1995 to the Department of Film and Television Director at the Cologne Film and Television Media Arts Institute, obtained a master's degree in audio-visual media, almost becoming a vocational student, and filmed three documentaries on German TV stations. For example, when he first saw the novella Shenmu published by Liu Qingbang, he thought it was an excellent work that could be adapted into a movie.

He asked someone to do everything possible to make an appointment with Liu Qingbang and talk about his feelings and plans. Liu Qingbang was finally moved by his sincerity and persistence. In Liu Qingbang's words, "How many intellectuals are still taking responsibility now? Too few, it's very difficult for Li Yang."

So he handed over the adaptation rights and the copyright of his film to him.

In order to adapt the script, Li Yang went to coal mines in Ningxia and Henan to live on the spot. The mine owner thought he was a reporter and took out a gun and pointed it at him.

The miners described the mine disaster like this, "a piece of meat was sandwiched between two stones." They were very calm about their destiny. This is how life was. They needed money for meals and children to go to school, and there was no other way to live. If they died, they would die.

This kind of life shocked him, and he vowed to make the movie.

"I don't have money, and I borrow almost all the money for making movies."

This is what Li Yang said when he met with deputy director Bao Zhenjiang, and he also presented the script he had just adapted.

After reading the script, Bao Zhenjiang was both shocked and moved. In his words, "In the film industry, almost no one uses his own money to make movies, only Li Yang! Then what else is there to say? It's such a good book. If you don't have money, you won't have money. Let's talk about it after you shoot it."

Then Li Yang used the same method to fool another ideal person in the circle - Liu Yonghong, a photographer who just became famous for seafood. He has seen seafood in Germany and admired the nearly condensed shots in seafood very much, watching everything calmly and cruelly.

At present, Li Yang is considering whether to use the same reason to fool an actor. Now the grass-roots team formed by him, Bao Zhenjiang and Liu Yonghong are gathering and selecting actors.

There are two criteria for selecting actors from the beginning, suitable and cheap, but their current financial situation seems to be more important.

The script he adapted has three important roles, two murderers and a minor migrant worker. The role of a murderer has been confirmed. Li Yang's fellow villager and actor Wang Shuangbao, who was born in Peking Opera martial arts, was recommended by Bao Zhenjiang. When Li Yang finished watching the 121 shooting case of a popular domestic documentary-themed TV series, he was shocked by Dong Lei, the number one villain played by Wang Shuangbao in the play. He was vicious, vicious, and murdered without blinking, which was very consistent with the character Tang Chaoyang in his current script.

More importantly, Wang Shuangbao, who changed his career in middle age and had just begun to emerge, was very cheap, and his pay was exactly in line with his expectations.

The actor who played the underage worker Yuan Fengming was also confirmed. He was a student from Henan Art School. Li Yang had watched the child's performance because he was a student from an art school and his standard Henan dialect was very consistent with the character design in the script.

The only thing left now is the role of another murderer with the most conscience who has not yet been confirmed. Not that there is no candidate. Bao Zhenjiang recommended an actor who graduated from the film academy and has worked for many supporting actors. Li Yang has seen videotapes of his role. I have to say that the actor's acting skills are still good. It may be limited by his appearance or lack of suitable opportunities. He is not famous and has a low pay. It is quite in line with their standards for selecting actors in the grass-roots team.

But the problem lies in the candidate recommended by Liu Yonghong. This person's acting skills are simply amazing for Li Yang. He has also played many villains, especially the killer Luo Yang, who can act with Wang Zhiwen and Li Youbin, who is not inferior to the other side of the killer. He is also in a conscience, just like Song Jinming, the accomplice of Tang Chaoyang in his script.

If he had room for choice, he would choose this actor without hesitation. But he has just won the title of Nantes' three continents with seafood, and was touted by the media as the leading figure of the new generation of domestic actors two days ago.

Such an actor is definitely a sky-high pay for Li Yang. If Li Yang could grit his teeth and harden his teeth before he won the Best Actor Award, now based on the latest movie pay price reported by his agency, Li Yang may not even have the courage to meet him.

"Actually, Dalun is a good person. As long as the book is good, he will definitely act. I suggest you just sit down and have a good talk." Liu Yonghong said to Li Yang.

If Liu Yonghong is described in common official vocabulary, he is a photographer with ideals, pursuits, and dreams about the film industry. The reason why he joined Li Yang's strait team was that in addition to Li Yang's deception, the most important thing was that he liked this script, just like Zhu Wen's seafood script at the beginning. If you have money or not, you will shoot it first.

It is precisely because he likes this book that he wants to make this movie well, just like Li Yang and Bao Zhenjiang. So in his opinion, only Wang Dalun can support the role of Song Jinming, rather than just saving money.

"I know, I know."

Li Yang's face was bitter and spread his hands, "But we have no money, so we can't afford to hire him at all."

Then he asked back: "Do you know what is the current quotation from Xinbaoyuan Company to the outside world?"

"How many?"

Li Yang gestured a six-game gesture and exaggeratedly: "Six hundred thousand! It's almost two-thirds of our production fee. Why do you think you can invite him?"

Liu Yonghong was not surprised by this price. He had just graduated from the Department of Photography of the Film Academy when he was filming seafood. When Zhu Wen asked him, the remuneration was only 5,000 yuan, but when seafood was shortlisted for Cannes, his value immediately increased. After that, he filmed three main theme films, with the remuneration starting from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This time, he joined Li Yang's grass-roots team and only received a friendly price, which would cost more than 10,000 yuan. What's more, Wang Dalun was awarded the best actor in Nantes in three continents, so he naturally deserved such a high pay.

"Or what if you learn the Zhuwen model?" Liu Yonghong also knew Li Yang's difficulties and hesitated for a moment.

“What mode?”

"Well, Zhu Wen didn't have money when he was filming seafood. When he hired Dalun, he didn't mention the pay at all. He also wanted to ask him to help him get investment. Of course, they had a good relationship before. But I think the most important thing is that the seafood book is good, otherwise even the best friend wouldn't be able to help like this. So I think, we can actually adopt this model, not talk about pay, but talk about it."

Before Liu Yonghong could finish his words, Li Yang immediately continued: "Talk about box office share!"

Liu Yonghong nodded a little embarrassedly. In fact, he shouldn't say this. After all, in this drama, only Li Yang is the boss. Although the word box office share is rare in China, it is quite popular abroad. Many producers use box office share to attract big stars to join due to insufficient investment. He does not believe that Li Yang, who has been in Germany for more than ten years, would not have thought of this method.

However, the domestic box office share is not without these days. For example, Feng Xiaogang, his cooperation model with Huayi is box office share, but he made New Year's films and commercial films. His previous experience was that every department had box office guarantees and every department made money, so he had the confidence, and the income of each movie was much higher than that of just counting the pay.

Director Zhang Da, who is also known for art films, does not have the confidence to do so. He always calculates the director's pay for filming based on the director's pay. Regardless of whether the box office is high or low, he charges a fixed director's pay. Of course, his director's pay is definitely a sky-high price in China, and the only one who can afford him is big productions.

As for Li Yang, as Liu Yonghong thought, he thought of the method of splitting the box office, but his investment was not large after all, with a total of only about one million yuan, and Wang Dalun's salary was as high as 600,000 yuan. If calculated based on the investment ratio, he would almost account for more than 30%.

Although Liu Qingbang praised Li Yang by taking social responsibility, he invested all his wealth and was heavily in debt for it. It was not only to expose the dark side of society and assume the so-called social responsibility, but more importantly, he wanted to do this, not only to realize his ideals, but also to gain fame and profit from it.

Of course this is also human nature. No one says that he will sacrifice everything for his ideals or even drag his friends to the water. This is by no means noble but selfish. While realizing his ideals, taking into account both social and personal interests is a truly valuable ideal.

Therefore, it is not enough to have feelings and a sense of social responsibility without gains, or it is not long-lasting, unless you have too much money and have no place to spend it. Otherwise, Fang Li would not beg for the phoenix to make an online begging for the phoenix to watch the phoenix.

Li Yang is a very smart person. From the beginning, he did not expect that the notebooks of this kind of subject could pass the review of relevant parties. After all, he had been in the system for a period of time before going abroad.

More than ten years of life abroad, especially in Berlin. He once witnessed the glory of several domestic films at the Berlin Film Festival. This period was a period when the so-called sixth-generation directors represented by Zhang Yuan, Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke became famous at major foreign film festivals and were popular with the so-called underground films they filmed.

In fact, most of the foreigners in that era had the impression of China on the concept of being closed, poor, backward. The inappropriate metaphor is similar to the psychology of the Great Jin Kingdom in the north now.

The underground films directed by the sixth generation show these foreigners the true living state and social ecological side of the era, or rather, the lowest level of Chinese society in this era.

To use inappropriate metaphors, these underground movies are the image promotional films of China in that era.

Of course, this true display can also be interpreted one-sidedly as using China's ignorance, poverty, backwardness, and even thieves to please foreigners, and even rise to the level of attacking the social system and smearing the ruling party. But it has to be admitted that most of the manifestations of these underground movies are real. It's just that our country and people love face.

If we think from the perspective of others, if the Great Jin Kingdom in the north also made such underground movies, I believe that not only those foreigners with yellow hair and green eyes, but also those who are yellow-haired and green-eyed, will probably even be sought after to satisfy our curiosity.

In fact, this situation is all about poverty. More than ten years later, when China truly develops and becomes the second largest economy, the world is full of legends that China has money, does this kind of movie still have a market? And how many sixth-generation directors who are surging in a certain era can be left?

It seems to be getting far from it again, and get back to the point.

Li Yang saw this bloody film that reflects the dark side of society and reflects the ugly theme of human nature. Once the film is well made, there will definitely be a market abroad. If you are lucky, you can still be as unpopular as Xiaowu and seafood, and you will be shortlisted for the three major European festivals.

According to the book adapted by Li Yang now, Song Jinming is definitely the soul of the play. If you can invite a big name like Wang Dalun, you will definitely be more confident that you will make this movie well. At the same time, Wang Dalun is now a familiar face in Europe, and his promotion of future films will definitely attract more attention.

However, the profit sharing of more than 30% has to be carefully considered. After all, if you use another actor recommended by Bao Zhenjiang, you only need to pay a tens of thousands of yuan in the film, and the actor's acting skills are still good.

There are really not many mainland actors who can become familiar with Europe these days. The only women are Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, and Zhou Xun seems to be almost there; except Jiang Wen, the men, who have to calculate the wrench and fingers, there is only Wang Dalun.

As for the two actors who have won the Best Actress Award for the Three Major Festivals, Mr. Ge has disappeared at major film festivals since he was alive, and Xia Yu is almost a TV star now.

The current contradiction between Li Yang is that it is very low to use a famous actor and it does not affect his future profits. Using Wang Dalun, although the quality of the film is guaranteed and easier to promote in the future, but the cost is high, and a large piece of meat will have to be dug out in the future.

There are pros and cons, it depends on whether he dares to place this bet!
