Chapter 738: Everything that should come has come(1/2)
However, it is obvious that people in the industry also feel that film companies appear to be more formal and high-end.
Wu Di is not a person who dawdles around. Even though Zhang Feng made suggestions later and Da Fei was busy before him, Boss Wu would not just settle for something ready-made.
Just hang the name of a legal person out of thin air.
There are still a few things that need to be planned.
At this critical moment, Boss Wu also began to recruit troops. The target was naturally to start with the people around him.
"Xiao Qi, I'm going to open a film company, you know!"
Wu Di didn't even bother to be polite to Xiao Qi and went straight to the point. With the relationship between Xiao Qi and Da Fei, it was impossible for him not to know about this.
Sure enough, Xiao Qi gave an affirmative answer with an upbeat tone. It was obvious that Director Qi was in a surprisingly good mood recently.
"How about it?"
"How about you also contribute some money and participate in one share?"
As soon as he heard that money would be paid, Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat and sank.
He quickly declined: "Brother, it's not like you don't know my financial situation. It's almost difficult to live a good life. You still expect me to invest?"
"If I had money, of course I would also want to participate, but the problem is, I really have no money."
There is nothing more embarrassing than letting a man cry out for poverty in front of his brothers. Xiao Qi can only say that he is really short of money.
But Wu Di didn't take it seriously at all: "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Share participation can also be just a name. As long as you are willing to participate, just name it. We can discuss the investment later."
"And...is there such a good thing?"
Although it is true that there are some shareholders who only take dry shares when starting a company and do not have to pay a dime, but such good things are all because the company has something to ask for, either it has an exclusive patent or it can provide some kind of
Shortcut on the doorway.
After all, only those talents who are indispensable and of great use to the company have such opportunities.
And Xiao Qi?
His current status in the entertainment industry is not even higher than that of Wu Di. He is simply a little transparent. Even if he is a good brother, he does not believe that Wu Di can be so generous.
"I dare not say good things, but if you are willing to put your name on it, it will be quite beneficial to the company."
"You see, the company will also sign many new artists in the future, and they will also need film contracts. As for you, to be honest, Xiao Qi, I am very optimistic about you."
"As a young director, you will definitely succeed in the future. By then, you don't have to worry about money, and honors will definitely follow."
"So, if I ask you to join a partnership, it can be regarded as buying shares in advance. You don't have to feel pressure. I just ask if you are willing."
"this……"
Xiao Qi seems to still have doubts. This is 2010 after all. If ten years pass, in that era when film directors have opened their own studios and companies, I am afraid that Xiao Qi's first movie may not wait for Wu Di to persuade him.
Our own company participated in the production!
Everyone comes well prepared, and no one will forget that they want a share of their own golden eggs.
But now it was ten years ago. Directors at this time often had relatively outdated concepts, and they were still immersed in the idea that directors are engaged in art, and I cannot be tainted with the smell of copper.
In that case, I would no longer be pure or noble, and my heart would be polluted. How could I still engage in art?
This mentality is still common among current film directors, especially newbie directors like Xiao Qi, who are hardest hit.
"What's there to hesitate about?"
"I won't ask you for any money, I'll just let you put your name on it. If you have projects in the future and you want to make a new film, just think more about my artists. This is still a matter without a shadow."
"I am such a good partner, but you still want to consider it, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you really disappoint me!"
"Originally, I was thinking that I was going to open a film company anyway, and the only directors I would cooperate with were my Xiaofeng and Lao Zhang. I always felt that it was a bit narrow, and I wanted to have one more ally to give me more strength, that's all!"
"Since you don't have this idea yet, and it doesn't taste sweet if you force yourself to do it, you should think about it again!"
"Wait a moment!"
"You said, Lao Zhang will also join?"
Wu Di was still expressing his understanding and talked about a lot of chicken soup, but Xiao Qi suddenly interrupted him.
Wu Di was surprised: "You just remembered it! Isn't it obvious?"
"Even if we don't invest in shares, wouldn't Lao Zhang first consider our artists for his new film?"
"I agree!"
"Count me in!"
"When I have money, I will definitely make up for the investment!"
With just one name, Xiao Qi instantly changed his mind. How amazing?
This is something Wu Di has been talking about for a long time but has not come to fruition. What Xiao Qi values is how could it be Wu Di's company? It is obviously Lao Zhang, the senior director!
Hidden resources!
If it were Xiao Qi a few months ago, he might have dismissed the power of such seniors, thinking that the seniors were destined to be photographed on the beach.
He is capable and has a bright future, but the old minds of the seniors cannot be compared with these new directors.
The battle in Shuicheng completely changed Xiao Qi's views.
Who says old timers are useless?
The old timers are not just useful, they are very useful!
Without Lao Zhang's recommendation, with Xiao Qi's qualifications, he could only get a place in the secondary screening of the Shuicheng Film Festival, which would be a good start.
The next step is to be like other new directors, maintain the quality of their works within a certain period of time, about a few years, and continue to gain qualifications in major film festivals. Finally, when the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, she can win the award.
Already.
However, with the recommendation of Lao Zhang, a senior boss, all these links were omitted.
Xiao Qi can be said to have reached the sky in one step!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A newcomer's work, a pure newcomer director, can successfully enter the semi-finals after one registration.
Become an official nominated work!
Of course, the high quality of Xiao Qi's works plays a decisive role in this, but it would be unobjective to say that Lao Zhang's face is not involved.
The effect of two people is probably 40-60%!
what? What?
Lao Zhang, who was not involved in the production of Labyrinth at all, could actually receive four points for his contribution in the nomination of the film Water City?
How can this be?
This is of course possible, and as a director and original creator, Xiao Qi himself has admitted that without Lao Zhang, there would be no nomination this time.
If Xiao Qi is really lucky enough to win the award, then he will remember Lao Zhang's kindness for the rest of his life!
In any case, getting closer to Lao Zhang has only advantages and no disadvantages for a new director like Xiao Qi.
What's more, there is Wu Di in the middle. With Wu Di here, Lao Zhang will definitely take more care of him.
Isn’t the situation today very obvious?
If Wu Di hadn't been involved, how could Lao Zhang, no matter how kind-hearted he was, write a letter of recommendation to Xiao Qi who couldn't even get a job?
Taking care of Wu Di means taking care of Xiao Qi. They are all opportunities and the principle is the same.
What's more, from a technical perspective, following Lao Zhang also has great benefits.
Lao Zhang has been able to dominate the film industry for so many years, not only because of the dividends of the times, as a director, his unique aesthetic concepts, narrative ability, and even the exploration of the characteristics of actors are among the best.
The frequent production of excellent works is the biggest guarantee that he has always enjoyed a high reputation in the industry.
As a newcomer, Xiao Qi certainly has his own advantages, but if he can learn a few tricks from Lao Zhang, it will definitely be of great benefit to him.
Although Lao Zhang has never accepted a disciple and has never had such an idea, he can't resist Xiao Qi's idea!
Besides, between masters, there is no need to learn from each other on the spot, as long as there are more opportunities for daily communication, Xiao Qi will benefit a lot.
At this time, what are you still hesitating about?
If Lao Zhang joins, then Xiao Qi must join!
Although everyone is here when they are supposed to be here, some people are too inexplicable!
…………
"Boss Wu, Boss Wu, you are not a friend enough. Why didn't you inform me in advance about such a great thing as starting a company?"
The beautiful woman in front of her held up a skewer and a piece of sizzling and greasy mutton. She tore it off with force and stuffed it into her mouth.
She chewed it crunchily, and it was delicious.
What a great beauty, this taste is really something I cannot praise.
She is the only one who can make Boss Wu take some time out of his busy schedule to sit in the barbecue restaurant!
