Chapter 378 Attitude and Choice
An excellent premiere, when people are pursuing various shooting arts and film depth, a truck driver who has nothing to do with art told people that there is a kind of movie that has not much to do with art, but is more than art movies Attract people's attention.

After the premiere, Lynch did not leave immediately. Fox and his son found him a relatively well-known documentary director and screenwriter in the industry. They wanted to sit down and talk, but what Lynch didn't expect was that James would also come. up.

James was a little embarrassed when he saw Lynch. He opened his mouth to speak, then looked at Fox and his son not far away, and finally called out "Mr. Lynch" instead of "Boss".

A simple title can actually allow Lynch to distinguish the current situation of James. He did not call Lynch the boss, which means that he and Lynch no longer have a direct working relationship.

"I didn't know you left. Cook didn't tell me." Lynch didn't have much thought, "Are you working in Fox Films now?"

James' embarrassment gradually subsided, and Lynch's indifference made something he thought betrayal a little easier, and he nodded, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

Resigned from Cook's retreat and joined Fox Films. On the one hand, he has a very special talent in scripts. He is not a rigid academic, and he always wants to show the depth of the film through some details.

There's no depth in Truckers, and if there is, it's got to be that of the Road Girls, not theirs.

Several scripts written by James have a very strong personal style, but the word of mouth is not particularly good after the movie is shot, which may have something to do with the director and the editor.

As we all know, there are tens of thousands of good stories, but there are only so many good directors in the entire federation. The status of directors is higher than that of screenwriters, and so are editors.

In order to find a new breakthrough, James began to learn how to be an excellent director, which also left him with little time to work in the transportation team. In addition, Fox and his son hoped that he could jump to Fox Films to help them. In the end, James After talking to Cook twice, he ended his work with the team.

Of course, he also has some ideas of his own. After all, as a truck driver, no matter how good he is, in the end he is at the level of Cook. The management of the team spends his life with a salary that may not be as good as that of a truck driver.

This is not what he wants, he wants to turn his whimsical ideas into reality, he wants to make more money so that his mother can live in a big house, then he has to make more money, Make more money faster.

Joining Fox Films is a very good choice. Fox and his son have just started their journey and are still building their team. If you join at this time, you can become a veteran, and the resources will be tilted towards him. The possibility of success is very high.

The only thing that made him feel a little embarrassed was that he was a little sorry for Lynch, and he thought it might be a kind of betrayal.

But Lynch seemed indifferent. He patted James on the arm, "I'm also the majority shareholder of Fox Films. In fact, I'm still your boss. Don't think that you can get rid of me if you change your job!"

He spoke in a joking tone, which eased James' nervousness and embarrassment, "Sorry, boss, you know..."

Lynch didn't let him go on, "People always have ideals, James, I'm very glad that the people around me can find their own ideals, and then find the right direction of efforts. When you are able to direct alone, you need support at the same time. You can call me when you are."

James was very moved. Although Fox Films is not too big, some power struggles have gradually emerged, and most of these manifestations are manifested in project approval.

The screenwriters and directors in the company are all vying for how much investment and attention the project can get. If Lynch can stand for him, his future development in the company will definitely be smooth sailing.

While talking, Fox and his son walked in with two scruffy, bearded middle-aged men wearing baseball caps.

In recent years, in the film and television industry of Laltimore, a brown beard is almost becoming the standard for directors. If there is no round beard, it will lose points when discussing cooperation, which also leads everyone to start growing beards. .

"This is the chief director of "Minority"..." Mr. Fox first introduced the first bearded director to Lynch, a well-known but somewhat controversial director.

"Minority" is the most influential documentary in the Federation in recent years. It is not one of them. It directly uncovers the hypocrisy of the Federals. This documentary uses the most detailed content to expose the lives of immigrants and aboriginals to the public. .

It is also because of this documentary that the federal people realize how "ugly" and "evil" they are. Except for a few wealthy investment immigrants and scientific researchers, labor immigrants and aboriginals are facing a certain desperate situation in the federal government.

Discrimination, humiliation, indifference, violence, crime, almost all negative problems in society have happened to this group, and it has given a severe slap to the Federation, which claims to be a free country where everyone is equal.

It is said that some people smashed the director's car and sent him bullets.

But anyway, he's famous, and after those unsettling days, he's quite famous, and it's just ridiculous that he hasn't gotten any new jobs until now.

When Mr. Fox was talking about the need for a documentary director in the small circle, this person who heard the news from somewhere called him that night and asked Mr. Fox to consider him.

The other bearded man is also quite famous. His fame is different from the bearded man in front of him. He is good at showing the good side of the Federation, and his films are all social documentaries that everyone likes, such as "Federation Family".

By filming six families of different classes to reflect their different solutions to the same problems, there are joys, sorrows, and joys. Sometimes people even think that he is filming a TV series, but it is indeed a documentary.

In addition, there are several screenwriters. These screenwriters, Mr. Fox, just mentioned some of their names casually, and didn't even mention their masterpieces.

The status of screenwriters is indeed not high in this circle, unless those big-name screenwriters are original screenwriters, but even so, the status of screenwriters is still not high enough.

Each production company receives thousands of scripts every year, and there are not a few excellent scripts among them. Once a big company takes a fancy to it, they will buy out the shooting rights of the script at a very low price.

So even if the screenwriter has a great masterpiece, it has nothing to do with them. At most, they will give a few more when writing the sequel, want to share money, or copyright?
That's a joke!
After introducing a few people, everyone sat together, and Lynch talked about his thoughts, "I plan to raise funds to shoot a documentary about the federal people in Nagalil, which will reflect the struggle of the federal people overseas from multiple aspects. Difficulties and processes, as well as the final harvest."

This is a keynote, everyone nodded, and they wrote down this element in their notebooks, overseas, and struggle.

However, some people also put forward some ideas, "Mr. Lynch, why is it in Nagalil instead of a place like Gafla?"

The one who asked the question was the documentary director who slapped the entire Federation in the face. His question was very realistic and tricky, "If it weren't for some of your experiences and recent events, people might never have paid attention to the one in Nagalil for the rest of their lives. place."

"Excuse my presumption, I don't even know where this country is on the map, but I'm sure the Federals, at least most of them, are interested in Gafla."

"Cultural, economic, military, political and social forms and other aspects are all attractive to the federal people. If the federal people are photographed in Gefra, it may be able to have a great response!"

What the director said was actually quite right, but Lynch did not intend to encourage the Federals to go to Gefra to make a living, and they could not provide Lynch with convenience there.

Of course, he can't directly say what he thinks in his heart, he can only express it in another way, "We can put this in the future. As far as this stage is concerned, we have frequent contacts with Nagalil. Secondly, once we After the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides, considerable capital will flow into Nagalil and their local regime to jointly develop the entire country."

"People don't know anything about it, so we need to let them know something about it, which can also help us find some paths in the next great era."

After hearing this, Mr. Fox couldn't help but sigh, "Great sentiment, friend Lynch!"

Lynch nodded with a smile and replied, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Fox."

Several people did not continue to ask, Lynch continued to talk about some of his ideas. I have to say that there is a reason why these people are well-known in the industry, and they quickly summed up some practical content.

For example, from which angles should this documentary be shot, one thing Lynch is very interested in is the progressive visual angle of "illegal" → "legal" → "above the law".

The one who put forward this idea was naturally the first director to slap the entire Federation. In his original words, if people want to understand Nagalil, they want to understand a real Nagalil.

Going to this place that has never been heard of before to develop, work hard, and struggle is definitely not for any great ideals and sentiments—he slightly satirized the mutual admiration between Lynch and Fox just now, but both of them agreed. As if not found.

He thinks that if you really want people to watch the documentary and buy a boat ticket to Nagalil, the best way is to restore a real "profiteering society" and tell them what to do in those places Only then can they make money, what they can't make in the Federation.

Even this is not a documentary related to the life and work of federal people in Nagalil, it is a documentary about how to make money quickly in Nagalil.

This guy is really a genius!
So Lynch chose another director.
