China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 688 Director Selection

Su Lun really wanted to make a good work. Who hasn't dreamed of being a director? She originally thought that her dream of being a director would come true through Xu Zheng, but who knew that by chance, she would be able to meet Shen Lang.

It doesn't matter if they know each other. She has seen many celebrities, but there are very few who can become nobles. She couldn't even imagine why Shen Lang recommended her to be a director even though she wasn't very familiar with her.

She was shocked the first time she found out. If she didn't have Shen Lang's contact information and could contact him, she would have thought someone was joking with her.

She met Shen Lang in Embarrassed in Hong Kong. She was the executive director of that show. She had a lot of exchanges with Shen Lang on the set. After all, he was a handsome guy, but he didn't take it seriously.

But not long after, she received an invitation from a film director. There is no way to say this. In fact, she has always wanted to be a director, and she also made a film, but the effect was not very good.

She has been in the industry for a long time. From the film era to now, she personally feels that she has the ability to be a director. However, there is a lack of opportunity. Xu Zheng asked her to be the executive director of 囧. She has done a good job, and she personally feels that she has the ability to be a director. It's an opportunity.

After finishing the work on Embarrassed in Hong Kong, Su Lun showed Xu Zheng several stories she had written and wanted to ask Xu Zheng to be the producer. How should I put it, she is a newcomer and has a big boss to support her, so it is easier to invest. .

Xu Zheng directly handed her a ready-made project, an adaptation of the classic Korean TV series Full House.

Following the path of localizing Korean movies and TV shows in recent years, the initial approach to this project was to completely copy the Korean version of the story and condense the TV series into a movie.

Su Lun and the screenwriting team worked hard for several months. When they were struggling, Xiao Tao came to the door with the script of Your Wedding.

At first, she thought she would be the assistant director or executive director. She was really experienced in this, but who could have imagined that the director opportunity she had dreamed of would come.

There is no need to worry about investment. This prerequisite defeats 99% of new directors. In fact, with investment, a film will be 99.9% successful.

Of course, I am only talking about the success in production. As for the success at the box office, this involves a bit too much.

Shen Lang had watched Cohabitation in Time and Space. At that time, he didn't know who the director was. He only knew Su Lun because of Exchange Life. The movie was so bad that he knew the director and Su Lun.

Just because of the name, it’s not certain whether it’s the female director, but Xu Zheng also introduced Su Lun, saying that she was a particularly talented new director, so Shen Lang was basically sure that Xu Zheng, the waiter on the bottom of the sea, was still in Cohabitation in Time and Space. Rather funny.

Even if she wasn't, it didn't matter. He checked Su Lun's resume and found that she had been in the industry for more than 20 years. She had already worked on the crew of ancient movies such as Big Shot and Cell Phone and had a lot of experience.

Of course, the reason why Shen Lang asked Su Lun to be the director was because he, just like Yao Tingting, was a new film director for the first time. He could basically encounter the same problems when he was a director. Let's learn from it. chant.

He witnessed the filming of Li Kelong, Yao Tingting, Lin Yufen and even Xin Yukun in the previous Maze of the Heart. Because of his status as an investor, he had access to too many people. How to be a new director, he witnessed a lot.

Speaking of which, Yao Tingting was under a lot of pressure. Shen Lang heard people say more than once that she cried in private because of the filming and became very irritable. With tens of millions of investments, it didn't mean that she would be done with the filming. , it also depends on the results of the movie.

Let's put it this way, if My Girlhood fails at the box office, Shen Lang and Liu Tianxian will certainly be ridiculed, but Yao Tingting's film director career will basically be over.

Shen Lang and Liu Tianxian can accept failure if they have fans, but she can't bear it. Of course, with Shen Lang and Liu Tianxian, at least the box office has a certain bottom line. This is why the small fresh meat group is so popular at this stage. Fans are Really supportive.

Being able to guide big names like Shen Lang and Liu Shishi in his first work made Su Lun somewhat confident.

And she has not been idle either. She has given up on the script of Full House. No matter what she does, it is all a routine. It is completely a sentimental work. She can't play tricks no matter how hard she works. No matter how hard she tries, it is far from the movie she imagined. Xu Zheng has already made it clear, and Xu Zheng understands it quite well.

The main reason is that there are new projects. After Xu Zheng made the decision, she went all out to prepare for Your Wedding. Strictly speaking, she was brought into the film industry by Xu Zheng, and during this time, the script of Full House The production funds were also provided by Xu Zheng, so I had to say hello no matter what.

Of course, Xu Zheng also has his own ideas. The main reason is that he has emotional intelligence and cannot prevent Su Lun from becoming a director. In fact, he is quite optimistic about Su Lun.

Xu Zheng actually thinks there is something wrong with Shen Lang. People in the industry who pay attention to Shen Lang know clearly that this top streamer has a different route from other traffic. His resources are all managed by himself. How can I put it, the producer is not a newcomer. He was a loser, but thanks to him, everyone turned around.

Other top celebrities also received dividends from this. Anyway, Shen Lang is now the star that he most wants to make friends with among all the new movie directors. He is really admired by others.

Everyone has also noticed that Shen Lang's behavior is different. Most celebrities are afraid that their works will fail, so they always find capable crews to work with, such as big directors or even experienced photographers. , Shen Lang is different and doesn't care.

In fact, Shen Lang is a bit of a joke. Many people in the circle say that luck cannot always follow Shen Lang. However, people are becoming more and more popular, which can only show that the general trend is now, and the top ones are awesome.

This time he approached Su Lun. In fact, although Xu Zheng was also optimistic about Su Lun, she was really good at the filming process of the movie, better than Xu Zheng himself. But in terms of business, Su Lun was far less discerning.

Not to mention, Cohabitation in Time and Space is still interesting. The combination of fantasy and comedy is okay. This is the role of Xu Zheng as the producer. However, Exchange Life also combines fantasy and comedy, but the result is completely different. There is not much at all. It's funny, but I can only say that if it weren't for the box office that comes with the Spring Festival, this movie would really be a hit.

In fact, Shen Lang naturally knows that as a new director, he will inevitably make mistakes, but the reasons why he still believes so much are that one is the system, this is the main reason, and the other is himself.

He has watched all these youth movies, and even if he has forgotten some parts, he knows the general situation and can play a role in maintaining the original version.

There is an advantage in communicating with new directors. They won't feel that they have no control. If they were like this with veteran directors, they would be angry. You teach me how to be a director, but with newcomers, you can directly give opinions.
