Disaster Artist

"But, Wei Che..."

Jiang Chenghai could feel Wei Che's irritability, and his negative emotions could hardly be concealed. He rushed towards him with his teeth and claws. He gently turned the wine glass in his hand, watching the amber liquid flowing between the light and shadow, with a smile that was not a smile. His eyes fluttered, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Do you think Echo has so much energy, do you still need me to endorse them personally? Although I am not expensive, I am not that cheap either."

Words, with needles hidden in cotton, are meaningful.

Weiss didn't care.

To be precise, at this moment, he was really tired and really tired, he didn't have the mind to calm down any longer, and repeated his thoughts for the tenth time.

"Hmph, haven't you already done that?"

"When your name appeared on the Echo cooperation list, you sold your soul and endorsed them, what more do you need?"

He was sharp-edged, almost completely did not hide his rejection and resistance, and even his expression showed scornful contempt.

Ha ha.

Jiang Chenghai was not angry, not only not, but he laughed out loud.

Thanks to the experience of the "Monster" trilogy in the early years, there were three directors in the three films. Although there was no intersection between the three people during the production of the film, after the film was released, they met on different occasions, but it became a common topic. Che, Jiang Chenghai, and Zhan Shian also became friends.

We rarely contact each other, but we are always cordial when we meet.

Wei Che is arrogant. Even in the face of two older seniors, what should be said is what he has to say, and he never knows how to cover up.

Looking at Wei Che's performance at this moment, it is not surprising that he always dragged his feet when he was doing public relations during the awards season.

In stark contrast, Zhan Shian is arrogant but cunning, he has his arrogance and arrogance, but he also knows how to use his chips.

And Jiang Chenghai? He is a steady and generous-hearted, like an uncle who has a successful career in the family. He knows how to cater to the elders, and is also good at protecting the younger generation. He is generous and decent, but at the same time, because he is the youngest among his peers, he still maintains some The child's innocence.

In Jiang Chenghai's eyes, Wei Che's behavior was actually like a child's tantrums, and he didn't feel offended.

on the contrary.

Jiang Chenghai continued to conduct in-depth discussions with great interest.

"However, Wei Che, we can't deny the fact that movies are dying. Look at those movie companies, one or two are making superhero movies, and other types of movies are gradually running out of space."

"You know best yourself."

"Now, apart from Damen Pictures and Blue Whale Pictures, how many people care about the genre of thriller and suspense? How many film companies dare to invest a lot of money in an action movie?"

"On the big screen, over and over, all are superhero movies, and even the living space of traditional movies such as romance and comedy is being completely compressed."

"What's even more funny is that even superhero movies are becoming more and more conservative. One or two are hoping for a family fun, a little bit violent and bloody, and the film companies are scared **** out of their heads, lest they affect the box office. You can still see restricted ratings before. superheroes, but are gone now."

"It's a trend, it's a phenomenon, and we're all seeing it because we're all in it and we're going through it."

"It's not just you who are working hard, but the point is, you are also one of them, so you should know the situation of the movie more clearly."

"The emergence of the echo, to provide more opportunities for these different types of films, we should show our support, shouldn't we?"

"After all, without movies, cinemas would soon die out."

Jiang Chenghai is serious.

All of the above is what is actually happening and what the film industry is talking about.

However, Wei Che didn't buy it at all—

Humph.

scoffed.

"I know, that's your rhetoric, your evidence for Echo."

"But, Director Jiang, have you ever thought that if there are no more movies, what's the point of diversifying the genres?"

What's the meaning?

"Echoes are ruining movies."

"When movies no longer have a special texture, they don't need to rely on the big screen to exist, but a video that appears casually on a computer or mobile phone, the difference is only in the length of time, so do you think movies still have any advantages? ?"

Wei Che spread his hands.

"Let us admit that when we are at home, we watch videos on our computer or mobile phone, let alone an hour, we may not be able to sit still for 30 minutes. Those videos need to be short and precise, so videos are becoming more and more popular. The shorter, the faster the pace of life, the more anxious we are all."

"Over time, the advantages of movies will disappear, and even the length of movies will become a disadvantage. Then the sense of film that we insist on, what lighting, sound, frame, resolution, composition, etc., will all be rejected. Compression becomes a bunch of useless garbage."

"Understand?"

"We think we're making movies, but audiences think we're making crap."

As he spoke, Wei Che became excited.

"That's the effect of the echo."

"Yes, in the short term, it provides a platform, countless opportunities, for those of us who have been ignored by the big companies to get jobs, including you, including me; but in the long run, it is destroying movies. , if there aren’t even movies, what are we creating?”

"Advertising?"

"Director Jiang, I've shot enough commercials at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. Believe me, I don't want to shoot any more commercials."

Humph.

Wei Che sneered again, but he was not laughing at Jiang Chenghai, but self-mockery, a sad and even hopeless self-mockery.

He took a sip of wine.

So bitter it's almost impossible to swallow.

But Wei Che still raised his head and swallowed all the alcohol in one go, because only such bitterness can keep his brain awake.

Jiang Chenghai looked at Wei Che quietly and did not speak.

Because Jiang Chenghai knows that these are facts, facts that exist objectively and are extremely cruel, and this is the current situation faced by the Lanchuan film industry—

On the surface, the entire film industry is thriving and prosperous, and film companies headed by Fantastic Films and Streamer Films are creating more and more market value.

But the filmmakers in it know that the industry is dying, with superhero movies one boost and streaming a second.

This is also the fundamental reason why the debut of the Echo has caused such widespread controversy.

They are afraid.

Wei Che glanced at Jiang Chenghai's expression, "Director Jiang, you won't let me and Lu Qian talk directly like everyone else?"

what.

Wei Che showed a mocking smile.

"Everyone said, I don't understand I don't understand, I haven't realized the nature of echo, blah blah blah, it's all nonsense, then let me and Lu Qian talk directly face to face."

"What? Are they underestimating my IQ, or are they pushing Lu Qian to the altar? I don't know? Do I still need Lu Qian to explain it to me?"

"Oh, a joke."
