Chapter 610 Binbin is in trouble
"Baoqiang, are you sure this time?"
The person who asked the question was Huang Bo. After watching "Havoc in Tianzhu" today, his heart was clenching.
This movie is kind of bad.
Losing money is a trivial matter. Everyone collects the money together. If you really lose money, there are so many people taking the risk together, so it’s not a big problem.
I was just afraid that it would not do well at the box office, and my confidence as a first-time director was shattered.
Love has just disappeared, career has also disappeared, this kind of blow is a bit big.
"I think it's okay to get back the money." Wang Baoqiang thought for a moment and said, "As for the other things, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement. Let's work hard next time."
"If you are not a director, you don't know that this job is hard. You don't know that I have too many things to take care of on the set every day. I wish I could use one day as two days."
"Next time I must find a reliable producer. I will be in charge of directing and nothing else."
Ding Xiu and the other three nodded. How could they not understand? They understood so well.
Baoqiang is so busy that he can't even take care of his wife and children.
However, it is true that he lacks experience. The biggest difficulty in self-filming and directing is not to keep running on the set, but to have a reliable boss and capable deputy.
A reliable boss is the producer. On a normal crew, the producer is actually responsible for a lot of work, including attracting investments, making payments, collecting payments, and coordinating the food and clothing expenses of various departments.
Apart from acting and filming, he is more or less involved in everything else.
A good producer can solve a lot of chores on the set.
Then there is the capable deputy, this position is the assistant director.
There are several assistant directors on the crew, including the first assistant director, the second assistant director, and the third assistant director.
The first assistant director is responsible for narrating scenes for actors, directing camera shooting, and discussing lighting effects.
The second assistant director is usually responsible for recruiting actors, scheduling shooting time between starring actors, and making announcements.
The third assistant director does chores such as taking care of food and matching actors and cars.
For the director, the most important people on the crew are the producer and the first assistant director.
Since Wang Baoqiang is self-directing and an investor this time, he has shouldered many positions, including starring, producer, producer, and screenwriter.
If there is no good producer, then his first assistant director is also not very good, his technique is not good, and his experience is not enough.
With so much work put on Wang Baoqiang alone, it would be strange if he wasn't tired.
Look at Ding Xiu, even if it is a self-directed film, such as Xiuchundao, he boldly leaves many of the director's tasks to Lu Yang.
Qin Gang also handles the work of the producer.
All he needs to do is control the general direction and make adjustments from time to time.
Seeing Huang Bo nodding seriously, Wu was surprised and said: "Old Huang, do you understand and just nod?"
"I just listened if I didn't understand." Huang Bo rubbed his hands: "I am also planning to become a director next year. Now is the time to learn from experience."
"Okay, Brother Bo, I support you." Wang Baoqiang smiled happily, thinking that he would have someone to back him up this time: "If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
"That's necessary." Huang Bo chuckled.
He is also planning to make a comedy. The only lesson he can learn from Bao Qiang is not to go out alone.
It is best to go to the set with the whole family.
Several people exchanged glasses. An hour and a half later, Wang Baoqiang, who was the first to get drunk, asked him to drink less. He refused to listen to any advice.
It's better to say that you're drunk, it's better to sleep until tomorrow night, so you don't have to wait for the premiere effect.
Huang Bo, Wu Jing, and Ding Xiu fought hard for another half hour, but Wu Jing couldn't stand it anymore.
Huang Bo and Ding Xiu were left. There was no point in drinking together, so they each helped one of them home and the four of them dispersed.
At Wu Jing's house, Ding Xiu sent someone over. Lying on the sofa, Wu Jing took a breath and said, "Brother Xiu, I have a movie starring in the second half of the year. Are you interested in participating?"
"I'm not interested. I'm too busy with work. Let's talk about it when I have time."
Ding Xiu rejected Wu Jing's kindness.
After Wolf Warrior 2, Wu Jing has become the god of wealth in the entertainment industry, with a box office of more than 5 billion. Who wouldn't want to get on this ride?
There are too many people looking for him to invest.
We are all waiting for his next drama.
Now Wu Jing leaked the word that he wanted Ding Xiu to participate. What Wu Jing didn't expect was that Ding Xiu refused, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.
This is Ding Xiu's style.
The grudges are clear.
When he was in trouble, Ding Xiu was always there when he needed help. Wolf Warrior 2 made a fortune last time, so he probably felt that he no longer owed him anything.
So I don’t want to take advantage this time.
"Brother Xiu, are you really not kidding? The project is called The Climber. The director is Li Renxiang. The total budget will be about 500 million. Apart from me starring, the known heroine is Zhang Ziyi."
Wu Jing handed over the truth completely.
"Zhang Ziyi, Li Renxiang?" Ding Xiu half-squinted his eyes. He knew these two people.
International films were very popular more than ten years ago, but now they are not so popular. The reviews are not good, they are resting on their laurels, and their box office appeal is a bit weak.
Li Renxiang is a director from Hong Kong. In the past few years, he has made bad movies, such as Oldboy: The Dragon Crossing the River, The Great Army, and Tomb Raiders.
One is worse than the other.
With this lineup, isn’t it just a gift when you go up?
What kind of trick did Wu Jing fall into?
"No, I have all the money I have on hand invested in other industries. I don't have any extra money at the moment. If you are willing, you can bring Zhang Yi from our company. His acting skills are very good. He has been on the rise in the past few years. The reputation of the movie is obvious to all. ”
"Okay, I'll let him try out another day. If the role suits him, I'll cast him."
Ding Xiu refused for the second time, but Wu Jing did not persuade him again.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Spring Festival movies are coming, and people go out of their homes early to eat, drink and have fun.
Many young people go to the cinema.
Riding the wind and waves and making trouble in Tianzhu, everyone's choice is different.
When I came out, some people praised me and some people cursed me.
The one who got scolded was naturally Baoqiang.
"Damn it, I sympathized with Bao Qiang, but why did he shoot such a thing?"
"It's not funny at all to make trouble in Tianzhu. It's just a hodgepodge."
"Except for Bao Qiang's performance as Wukong, which is interesting, the others don't feel that they have a strong sense of presence."
"I hope Baoqiang will continue to work hard and be better next time."
"Han Han's Riding the Wind and Waves is so beautiful that it made me laugh to death. I recommend everyone to watch it. It's worth it."
"I just finished watching Riding the Wind and Waves. It's really interesting. This is the only movie you can watch during the Spring Festival this year."
“No peeing spots throughout the entire process.”
Despite the criticism, Bao Qiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" did well at the box office. After all, the popularity and reputation are there.
A month later, the movie was released, with a box office of more than 700 million, and a Douban score of 3.5.
Han Han's Riding the Wind and Waves is better, just over one billion, and this is Zhao Liying's first billion-dollar movie.
After the Spring Festival, I thought the entertainment industry would calm down. Then the selection for the Golden Broom Awards began, and Yang Mi won the most disappointing female artist.
Wang Baoqiang won the title of Most Disappointing Director.
When receiving the award, Yang Mi did not go. She was used to this award and never went.
Wang Baoqiang is gone!
I personally received the award for Most Disappointing Director.
The audience burst into applause because this was the first artist to receive the Golden Broom Award in many years since its establishment.
Bao Qiang said modestly: "I know that as a first-time director, I didn't do well enough and failed to live up to the expectations of fans and audiences."
"I hope everyone can give me, a new director, a chance. Next time, I will bring you better works next time."
Wang Baoqiang, who was originally notorious for causing trouble in Tianzhu, made everyone look at him with admiration because he went to receive the Golden Broom Award.
Anyone who sees it will be convinced.
While Bao Qiang is dominating the hot searches, a breeze is blowing in the film industry, making waves.
The well-known host Xiao Cui is competing with Xiao Gangpao.
The reason was that the movie Cell Phone 2 was being launched, and there were some plots in it that the host felt reflected him.
He responded to the mobile phone number 1 at the time, but Xiaogangbao said he would change it, but actually ignored him.
I didn’t expect the second part to come.
Xiao Cui didn't get used to it and started arguing with the crew on the Internet.
The tearing and tearing landed on Fan Binbin's head.
Because Fan Binbin is the heroine in this drama, she had just finished work that day, and as usual, she posted two photos of her life wearing facial masks on Weibo.
Xiao Cui also posted two contract photos in her comment area.
Said that the salary contract she had signed was wrong.
