Disaster Artist

Wei Che's words, so sharp, so vicious and so direct, vented towards Jiang Chenghai with full firepower.

However, the bitterness behind the words overflowed uncontrollably.

Sad and desperate, like a trapped beast, blood dripping and scarred, the anger in his chest is burning, and he is almost on the verge of burning himself out.

Jiang Chenghai, without interrupting Wei Che—

From a certain point of view, Jiang Chenghai and Wei Che are the same.

Although Jiang Chenghai has never been short of project starts, with an average of one project per year and at most one project every two years, his creations are always in progress, and he seems to have no troubles.

But you know your own business.

In recent years, Jiang Chenghai’s experience is similar to Wei Che’s. His creative projects are encountering more and more obstacles, because the film companies are more and more restrained, those slightly adventurous, challenging and breakthrough projects , often refrigerated first, and then discussed slowly.

However, a large part of them have no followings.

The difference between Jiang Chenghai and Wei Che is that he is a man who knows negotiation, compromise, balance, and trade-offs. With his character, he has worked in the industry for so many years and has established a wide network of contacts, and he knows how to promote himself and rely on "Jiang Chenghai". Chenghai" to persuade the film company.

Therefore, Jiang Chenghai has always started projects, but Wei Che has not.

But in essence, Jiang Chenghai also experienced all the situations Wei Che experienced.

What Wei Che didn't know was that before Jiang Chenghai agreed to Echo's invitation, he had done fieldwork—

From Jiang Paifeng to Hou Xiaochuan, from Tomson to Zhang Benqing, and so on.

Finally, Jiang Chenghai and Lu Qian spoke on the phone.

The phone call lasted for three hours. People might think that they were discussing the concept of Echo, but in fact, the topic of Echo was not much, it was more about movies, about Jiang Chenghai's movies, about Lu Qian Movies, all topics are all about movies.

Jiang Chenghai really understood one thing, someone like Lu Qian, who is full of enthusiasm and passion for movies, will not betray the movies.

This is also the biggest difference between an echo and a house.

Jiang Chenghai considers himself an old man, and he can no longer keep up with the times. The things he is familiar with and understood are being destroyed by the Internet age.

Therefore, Jiang Chenghai does not know how the future will develop.

Of course he doesn't want to see the rise of streaming if he can, he's still used to the world he's familiar with, but he knows it's impractical.

From the age of books to the age of broadcasting to the age of movies, then to the age of television, and now to the age of the Internet, the pace of progress has never stopped.

Thirty years ago, people couldn't believe that the entire world could be connected through the Internet, just as people once couldn't believe that humans could step on the moon.

The future is far away, but also very near.

Perhaps, Lu Qian has indeed found a way to make movies rejuvenate in the new era.

Maybe, no; maybe, the movie is destined to perish; maybe, the wheel of the times is destined to move forward, but if so, there is no way.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Chenghai does not want to see filmmakers like Wei Che be wiped out and forgotten—

Wei Che is a real genius.

Since the mainstream studios have repeatedly rejected Wei Che, why not give Echo a try?

But…

Looking at Wei Che, who was full of stubbornness, Jiang Chenghai felt a little helpless for a while.

On the one hand, he envied Wei Che for still maintaining his arrogance. As a director and as an ordinary person, he still did not lose his blood. This is also an important reason why Wei Che's films always retain that unique texture, even when shooting films. It hasn't changed after all these years.

On the one hand, he didn't know what to do with Wei Che, he watched Wei Che ram his head back and forth, and then he was forgotten by the times.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chenghai's smile rose, full of helplessness.

"But, Wei Che, what's going on with the 'paper house'? So, aren't you going to find a house this time?"

Jiang Chenghai didn't comfort Wei Che, but sprinkled salt on Wei Che's wound, which pot can't be opened and lifted.

Wei Che's eyes widened, "Director Jiang, don't you know what's going on with the 'paper house'? It's an episode, can an episode be the same as a movie?"

"Paper House", in a blink of an eye, has been officially launched for three years.

Three years ago, Zhu Zhai announced that he had officially changed his career to enter the production industry, and "Paper House" was their first original drama—

The executive producer and director is the famous Wei Che.

After the "Paper House" was launched, it swept the world and set off an incredible frenzy, which also laid the first footprint of the home conversion track to become a streaming media platform.

In just three years, an outdated company that is in danger, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and has been eliminated by the times has transformed itself into a leader in the wave of the times. At present, the number of paid subscribers has exceeded 130 million, and it is steadily moving towards 200 million dash forward, still the industry leader of streaming media.

"Paper House", for its great credit, won comprehensive praise from topic to quality, and later, even won the recognition of the Golden Scale Award.

Standing behind this series is Wei Che.

In other words, Wecher has worked with streaming media, and it has achieved great success.

As mentioned earlier, Wei Che has no works for five years. This refers specifically to film works, and TV dramas are another matter.

Wei Che was very depressed.

"Director Jiang, in that episode, I directed the first two episodes and the last episode, three episodes in total."

"However, you are still the executive producer." Jiang Chenghai gloated a little, a smile in his eyes.

Weiss was very weak.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Chenghai, all the excuses were twirling on the tip of his tongue, and then he realized that Jiang Chenghai was playing tricks on him at all. How could Jiang Chenghai not know those truths?

The difference between a series and a movie is not the same thing at all; there is also the difference between an executive producer and a director, which are basically two different types of work.

But Jiang Chenghai still mentioned the "paper house" thing, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Wei Che let out a long sigh, but calmed down inconceivably, without the righteous indignation and anger just now.

"Of course an invitation to enter the house is issued."

"If you can ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am willing to cooperate with me 100%, there is no problem with the funds, and there is no problem with the initiative."

"It's always been like this in the house. They are responsible for paying, but they don't interfere in the production at all, ensuring 100% creative freedom for directors and producers."

"As long as the contract is signed, they will not interfere."

"Now, entering the house is waiting for me to nod."

Jiang Chenghai raised his chin slightly, "Um..." and lengthened the ending, "Then why don't you agree? It means that you are still not desperate."

Based on Wei Che's position in the industry, even if no film works have been proposed for five years, the film companies are still willing to review his projects, and even investors such as housing are willing to invest.

Wei Che choked in his throat in one breath, is this a ghost hitting the wall or what?

"Director Jiang, because the movie is not an episode, because I don't want to work for the streaming media, because I don't think the future of the movie should be maintained on the streaming media."

"What was the conversation we had just now? Did you talk about loneliness? Why did you come back from the ghost?"
