Director Loves No One
Chapter 57:
Duan Chengyan didn't have a serious job before. He is only busy with ip movies. However, Xia Hong and Chu Xiaxing are different from him. Xia Hong usually stays at Fanke Pictures. Anyhow, there is still actor Zhou Xuelu in the company, and there is always some business. Chu Xiaxing occasionally recorded "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", and the rest of the time would be allocated to "Wu Dao" before finally having time to incubate IP movies.
In short, although the three are the permanent team of the project, Duan Chengyan feels very free. He was going to do the project happily, but found that his teammates were quite busy, which made him feel like shaving his head.
In the luxurious home, Duan Chengyan's mother saw her son eating silently, she couldn't help asking with concern: "Cheng Yan, how is your recent job?"
Duan Chengyan took the initiative to propose a movie project, and he has been insisting on it for more than two weeks, which naturally surprised his mother. If it was placed in the past, he would soon encounter all kinds of troubles, and then he could not continue to push forward.
Duan Chengyan hesitated to say something but stopped: "Just like that..."
"Did you have any troubles at work?" Duan's mother knew her son's character well. She never thought of throwing him into a complicated work environment, but he seemed to be very interested in the group.
Duan Chengyan pursed his lips. He was a little frustrated and said: "It's no trouble, it's just nothing... It's not all right, but the things I'm responsible for seem to be worthless..."
"I feel like a screw. Anyway, the substitutability is particularly strong. Anyone can do my job." Duan Chengyan was embarrassed to say that he is now a driver, mainly responsible for driving and picking up other things, and his work has no technical content.
Chu Xiaxing will never let the ip movie project go down, she will finish the difficult work, leaving only simple work. Xia Hong was more proficient in handling simple tasks, and Duan Chengyan really only had the value of driving.
Duan Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled comfortingly: "You finally realize what it's like to go to work."
Duan Chengyan was puzzled.
Duan Mu: "If you don't have work goals or ideals, most of your work is repetitive and boring, even the things I usually do. The reasons for being able to stick to it for a long time are nothing more than the few reasons, some are to make ends meet, some are to like. Some are top-notch."
"Have you never thought about the reason for work before you went to work?"
Duan Chengyan was dumb. He didn't think about the reasons behind these things at the time. It was just that he wanted to grab Song Wenye's things, and now he realized that it was not easy to do the project.
Seeing her son listened to her for the first time, Duan's mother pointed out earnestly: "This project was mentioned by Wen Ye before. If you don't understand anything, you can also ask him..."
Because the two were related, the project fell on Duan Chengyan, so Duan's mother felt that it was normal for him to consult experienced seniors, not to mention that he was a family.
Duan Chengyan instantly exploded: "Why should I ask him!?"
Duan mother pondered for a few seconds, and said bitterly: "You don't want to ask Wen Ye for advice, but don't you think your work is worthless? If you don't learn from others, what you do will always be basic work."
Duan Chengyan muttered: "...I can learn from others, but I won't learn from him anyway!"
Duan Mu: "Don't you learn from Xia Hong? I don't think he has learned it. You might as well learn from your family."
Duan's mother didn't understand Duan Chengyan's inexplicable frustration. She had never thought of comparing her son with Song Wenye. The personalities of the two sides determined the different development paths.
Duan Chengyan: "Anyway, I don't learn from Song Wenye..."
In the Fanke film industry, Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong are discussing work as usual. They are reorganizing the story of the game character Gun Sage, and then looking for a suitable screenwriter to write it into a movie script.
After the meeting of the three was over, Duan Chengyan glanced at Chu Xia Xing and asked in a low voice, "Does the producer do this?"
Duan Chengyan is now in charge of driving to Wanjun Game, ordering water for everyone during the meeting, and sorting out the game information. He felt that he was a small worker, and what he was doing was completely meaningless.
Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "What? Do you want to go back to find your grandfather and cry poor now?"
Chu Xiaxing hadn't encountered any trouble for the time being, so naturally she didn't need to rely on Duan Chengyan to walk through the back door, and could not think of other jobs.
Duan Chengyan: "?"
Duan Chengyan: "No, the producer should be a little serious, it's an important post anyway!"
Chu Xiaxing: "Do you think Xia Hong is serious?"
Duan Chengyan looked at the other producer who was stubborn, and he was speechless for a moment: "..."
Chu Xiaxing looked at him quite depressed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you really want to experience the work of a producer?"
Duan Chengyan: "Yes."
Chu Xiaxing nodded: "Okay, then you take me to a place, and it happens to be right now."
Duan Chengyan was confused when he heard the words. He drove Chu Xiaxing to the designated place, but was surprised to find that this was the site of the "Wu Dao" propaganda meeting. There are movie billboards on both sides of the hall of the venue, as well as various fan support bouquets. Many people walked around the house with long guns and short cannons, and they didn't know whether it was a reporter or a star sister.
"Director Chu, take a rest in the lounge first, and wait for someone to call when the creator takes the stage." Wang Fengfeng told Chu Xiaxing's process, he looked at the strange Duan Chengyan for a moment, "This is..."
Chu Xiaxing: "This is a short section, it's a producer."
Wang Fengtian nodded clearly: "Oh, oh, hello, a little bit."
Duan Chengyan just wanted to say that Chu Xiaxing's introduction was too sloppy, especially the word "being" sounds very strange. However, Wang Fengtian had already stretched out his hand first, and Duan Chengyan could only reach out and shake it back, and the two sides greeted him in embarrassment and hurriedly.
Hou Shenyue starred in the movie "Wu Dao". Today's publicity meeting was attended by a lot of media. The scene seemed quite lively, which also made Wang Fengtian extremely busy.
Duan Chengyan had time to complain after Wang Fengtian left, and said dissatisfied: "Are you a bit too much? We are talking about driving during the project, not driving you around the clock!"
The movie "Wu Dao" has nothing to do with Duan Chengyan, it belongs to Chu Xiaxing's work. Even if he didn't accuse the other party of spanning the two dramas, she could actually instruct herself to send her to other film promotion meetings.
Chu Xiaxing: "Do you know who that person was just now?"
Duan Chengyan was taken aback. He didn't hear Wang Fengtian introduce himself. In addition to the busy expression of the other party, he did not know his identity. He confessed: "I don't know."
Chu Xiaxing said lightly: "That's Wang Fengtian, a leader in the screenwriting world. If you change to another producer, how can you pull the other party to chat, you won't be as stupid as you."
The work of the producers is very complicated. They must integrate all the resources, including actors, directors, screenwriters, etc., to select the best items to produce the project. Many people can't be producers in their entire lives because they don't have any personal connections, and they don't even collect and integrate various relationships.
Even if today is the movie "Wu Dao" promotion, many people in the industry will come here. They may have nothing to do with the movie, but they all want to brush their faces in front of Wang Fengtian and others, or expand their contacts in the circle.
"Teacher Wang usually doesn't ask the child's name. If you didn't come in with me, he wouldn't be able to talk to you." Chu Xiaxing shrugged lazily. "But you probably didn't pass the work performance just now, really. You can't catch the opportunity, just want to experience the work of a producer?"
Wang Fengtian has seen too many producers, just like when the director of "Wu Dao" was selected, candidates could fill the conference room. If it weren't for Chu Xiaxing and Wang Fengtian to know each other well, Duan Chengyan would really be unable to talk to each other based on his identity as a producer.
Duan Chengyan didn't expect that she brought herself to gather contacts. He couldn't help but stare at him: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Duan Chengyan thought she deliberately asked herself to drive. Who would have thought that the work of the producer would have officially started long ago?
"Isn't this common sense of the producer? I just didn't expect that you don't even have common sense." Chu Xia Xing said lightly, "Anyway, I have brought you in. You also know the job content now. The place is full of insiders. , The rest is up to you."
"Wanjun's ip movies also need all kinds of publicity and distribution resources. The contacts that Mr. Wang knows should not be bad. As for how to transform into ours, we must rely on Duan Zong's personality.
Duan Chengyan said in surprise: "You want me to lick my face and add their contact information!?"
Duan Chengyan was about to suffocate even thinking about it, and now he understands what he missed. When he faced Wang Fengtian, at least Chu Xiaxing gave an introduction, so if he changed to another stranger, he would just bite the bullet and talk awkwardly?
Chu Xiaxing: "You can also add it without licking your face."
Duan Chengyan: "Why don't you lick your face and add it?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Just don't have this face."
Duan Chengyan: "!!!?"
When Chu Xiaxing heard the staff's prompt, she quickly stood up: "Okay, Duan, go to work, I should also be on stage..."
Seeing that she was leaving, Duan Chengyan suddenly panicked: "Wait, can you introduce me somehow?"
There is no time for Chu Xiaxing to take care of him. She has followed the creators on stage to accept interviews and face various questions from reporters. She has recently relied on "24 Frames in Time" to become very popular, especially the police film that she collaborated with Hou Shenyue has received good response, which naturally makes "Wu Dao" also highly anticipated.
Duan Chengyan was restless in the venue alone. He found that the other producers were really able to talk with each other, and he was even more embarrassed for a while. He used to be held by the friends and friends, and everyone around him knew him. The first time he was forced to attack, he had no idea.
He has neither Chu Xiaxing’s reputation as a director nor Xia Hong’s Fanke Films, so he really doesn’t know how to introduce himself.
On stage, after Chu Xiaxing answered the reporters' questions, he quietly listened to Wang Fengtian's urging of the box office. She feels that the quality of the film "Wu Dao" is good, but the film box office has always been a metaphysics, and it is also closely related to publicity and distribution. The promotion and marketing of many good films can't keep up. Unfortunately, after the release, there is a pity that the wine will smell deep in the alley.
Because of the importance of film promotion, well-known directors such as Fan Ke have to rely on variety shows to expose them, in order to guide the public's attention to new films.
Wang Fengtian also raised the matter at the scene. He smiled helplessly: "Nowadays, the movie is really not easy to make. It is not only about production, but also about publicity and distribution. We can say that we are doing our best. Regardless of the shooting, I have to go on the show to help promote "Wu Dao", I want to pay her double the money..."
Wang Fengtian urged Chu Xiaxing to record "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", but she did not expect her to achieve good results and far exceeded expectations.
Chu Xiaxing easily connected: "It's okay, Teacher Wang, my account is still the same, and there will be time for the transfer later."
Wang Fengtian: "It's not that I can't pay, so I said I want to pay..."
Chu Xiaxing: "...so just think about it."
Wang Fengtian: "Be polite, be polite."
Everyone listened to the interview between the two people, and they burst into laughter.
Wang Fengtian sighed and said: "Well, if I pay out, I will definitely pay. Then I will be able to book a house for publicity like other movies, and make an atmospheric night scene advertisement, but the funds are really limited... But we spend every penny Use it all on the blade, and strive to make the picture the best, and I hope you all like this movie!"
Chu Xiaxing nodded when he heard the words. Wang Fengtian was indeed not stingy in production, and the cost of the publicity part was naturally compressed.
Duan Chengyan was frowning and entangled in the audience. He was taken aback when he heard Wang Fengtian's words. He also thought about Chu Xiaxing's theory of value exchange, and seemed to finally come up with a little eyebrow. He is now worthless to others, and it is indeed embarrassing to talk forcibly, perhaps he has to find a breakthrough.
Duan Chengyan thought about it for a long time. He simply took out his mobile phone and called his family: "Mom, I want to trouble you with something..."
After the promotion meeting, Chu Xiaxing, Wang Fengtian and others just returned to the lounge, and someone hurriedly reported the news: "Teacher Wang, you bought a large-screen promotion in private? Why don't you tell us!"
This is the publicity team of "Wu Dao". They are responsible for online and offline publicity. They put billboards in public places such as movie theaters and subways. Furthermore, they rent out buildings for publicity. They put eye-catching words on the external screens of high-rise buildings. Of course the price is quite expensive, and you need to make an appointment in advance.
Wang Fengtian thought about the price and schedule of the package, he did not use this kind of publicity method, whoever allowed a few minutes of publicity to burn a lot of money.
Wang Fengfeng was surprised: "No? Why would I buy it privately, how can I have so much money!"
"But Xinchuang Building is now advertising to us. The building is selling "Wu Dao" movies. Many people have already filmed it..."
Wang Fengtian just said that there was no publicity for the wallet building, and the new building was turned around to support "Wu Dao". It is a coincidence that is elusive. It is no wonder that the publicity staff suspected that Mr. Wang was paying for it.
What is even more amazing is that Xinchuang Building has never taken over the advertising business before, and even the publicity team does not know who contacted it.
Everyone was a little confused, not knowing who Lei Feng was.
Looking at the photo of the building, Wang Fengtian was now full of confusion and muttered: "This slogan is also simple and rude..."
Wang Fengtian: I have good popularity in my circle, but who is so rich and powerful?
In the corner, Duan Chengyan has been hovering outside. At this moment, he said: "Teacher Wang, if you feel bad, you can change it now."
Wang Fengfeng looked at Duan Chengyan, who was familiar with him, and looked at Chu Xiaxing uncertainly: "Director Chu, this is..."
Chu Xiaxing suddenly realized: "Did you do it?"
Chu Xiaxing: I should have guessed the ability to burn money in this line.
The publicity staff did not expect that the owner was in the house. They were surprised for a moment: "Haven't Xinchuang Building ever sold advertisements before? We haven't worked with them before, and don't know the quotation. How much is it per minute?"
The propaganda team all have their own cooperative relationship. They really don't know that Xinchuang Building also has an advertising business, so they are naturally curious to ask.
"No money."
"what?"
"I let my mother get it, so I didn't spend any money."
"???"
Duan Chengyan only remembers that Xinchuang Building can do this. He still remembers his purpose and bit the bullet and said, "Ms. Wang, can I add a WeChat to you?"
Duan Chengyan: It shouldn't be awkward to add WeChat like this?
Wang Fengtian was taken aback, he showed a dumbfounded look, and said hurriedly: "Gajagaga!"
No one thought that Duan Chengyan offered to add contact information, and Wang Fengtian would let the other party spend money for nothing, and naturally there was no reason to refuse.
The people in the house suddenly added WeChat, and even various publicity personnel exchanged contact information with Duan Chengyan, presumably because they wanted him to help introduce the advertising business of Xinchuang Building.
Duan Chengyan looked at the various numbers with satisfaction. He felt that today's filmmaker's work was not too bad, but it was also rewarding.
Before leaving, Wang Fengtian had a few words with Chu Xiaxing in private, and smiled bitterly: "Director Chu, you have done a good job in this matter. The relationship between us is pretty good. If the kid wants to add me, you can just push it. I even made him spend money..."
If it was Chu Xiaxing who directly pushed people, Wang Fengtian would definitely not refuse it intentionally, as the relationship between the two parties is not close enough. Wang Fengtian only wanted to add himself to Duan Chengyan, but Chu Xiaxing was embarrassed to sell his favors, so he made such a big circle.
Of course, what Wang Fengfeng didn't expect was that Chu Xiaxing and Duan Chengyan were not close.
Chu Xiaxing: "It's okay. He has money and loves to make things by nature, and he doesn't spend any money. Don't underestimate the family with money ability."
Wang Fengtian: "?"
Duan Chengyan did succeed in brushing his face today. He successfully got the contact information of the "Wu Dao" publicity and distribution team and knew a lot of related people. Others don't know Duan Chengyan's wealth, only that he belongs to a related producer, and he can actually use his face for free publicity, which is naturally admired.
After the crowd dispersed, Duan Chengyan saw Chu Xiaxing a little bit weak: "What? Do you think I can't win, and it's embarrassing to trouble my family?"
Duan Chengyan also had no choice. He knew that it was not independent enough to exchange resources at home, but in the face of so many big coffees, it was really impossible to rely on himself. Everyone relies on their work ability to mix resources. Now he can only rely on his family's ability to mix resources temporarily, which seems to be inferior.
Surprisingly, Chu Xiaxing did not mock his behavior. Instead, she praised frankly: "No, I think you finally found the right direction!"
Chu Xiaxing has always felt that Duan Chengyan is not in the Dao'er. Now she finally finds that the young master understands the sufferings of the world and has begun to learn the lifestyle of some social animals. Naturally, she will not criticize.
Duan Chengyan was taken aback: "Really?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Of course, this time you act like a baby with your mother first, and you can find grandpa next time! I am optimistic about you!"
Chu Xiaxing: Teacher Wang's plays are so hard to do, it's hard to be exploded when changing to his own play!
Duan Chengyan: "..."
