rising director

Is it worth it to offend the benefactor for an unknown Huang Xiaolei?

Wan Xiaohu was walking on the street, feeling a little overwhelmed.

These days, it is quite normal to unspoken rules for one or two art school students, what exactly am I insisting on? 300 million and a bottom line, who is more important?You know, 300 million can make him realize his dream of being a director immediately, and become famous immediately. As for Huang Xiaolei, at worst, he will praise her again at that time, and the grievances will be settled.

Reason tells Wan Xiaohu that he is destroying his future.

Even if he has countless good movies in his mind, if there is no way to realize it, it is still nothing.Making a movie is not about singing a song, just babbling and babbling, no one invests, and when he makes money by himself, the time will probably slip away when he makes money.

"Hi! What am I struggling with? I'm a dignified reborn person, why would I be saddened by such a trivial matter and give up my bottom line? Money, money, money, I won't be able to get money? A joke!"

Wan Xiaohu stretched out his arms, reawakening his self-confidence.

His goal is to be a great director. He wants to lead a coquettish life and never bow to difficulties!In front of him, nothing is difficult!

"Tiger, how is it? Has the investment been brought in?"

As soon as they returned to the school dormitory, Chen Chong and Li Xia couldn't wait to ask.Wan Xiaohu fell headlong on the bed, covered his face with the quilt, and said nothing.

"What's the matter, isn't it going well?" Chen Chong asked after being torn apart.

Wan Xiaohu looked at the two of them, and said depressingly: "It's not that it's not going well, but it's very bad. I've been to all the big and small film and television companies in Beijing, and I don't like it. It's not that I'm young and inexperienced, it's that the script There is no market, or they are telling me not to be so ambitious. I thought about going to the big benefactor again, but in the end, hehe, I was actually asked to pimp him!"

Sitting up from the bed, Wan Xiaohu pointed to his chest and asked the two of them, "Do you think I, Wan Xiaohu, are this kind of person? Would I sell my dignity and personality for a movie?"

"Pretty similar." Li Xia muttered.

"You're looking for death!" Wan Xiaohu raised his finger fiercely.

Chen Chong sat down and asked: "Then what should we do now, the movie just give up?"

"Impossible!" Wan Xiaohu vowed, "Don't worry about the money, I will take care of it. On the way back, I did the math. The actors and staff of the crew, we all use our own classmates to take care of food and drink." But it doesn’t matter the salary. Those who want to come will come. When the film makes money, I will give them a big red envelope. The props are also simple, and everyone can wear their own clothes. The rest of the shooting equipment, cars, venues You can rent them all. After all, if you save 50 yuan, we can get the movie done!"

"50 is not a lot."

"Do you think I, Wan Xiaohu, can't handle 50 yuan?"

"possible."

"Get lost!"

"Where are you going to attract investment?"

Wan Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "I went to various businesses to ask about the situation. Aren't there many stores around here that like to sponsor college students' activities? We make movies, and the influence is much greater than their sponsorship activities, isn't it? It's really impossible, I was so cheeky, I went home and asked my parents for it, even though the family didn’t have much money, and the house was mortgaged, I could still get some money from the bank.”

Chen Chong shook his head: "Tiger, listen to me, let's make a movie now, try to find a way by yourself. If you lose money, it's possible that your parents are living on the streets."

"That's right." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "Okay, life is endlessly fighting, let's go to the cafeteria to eat. After eating, I will continue to solicit investment. I don't believe it. There are no discerning people in this world!"

……

In fact, Wan Xiaohu is not very good at such things as sponsorship. On the previous track, when he was in college, he was very proud and arrogant, and he never wanted to beg for help in a humble manner.It wasn't until later that I started directing commercials or MVs that I learned how to let go of my figure and cater to others.

But now, with 14 more years of self-confidence, he no longer feels ashamed of soliciting sponsorships.

This is a part of struggle, just a process of success.

There are many stores around Nortel, and for Wan Xiaohu, they are all potential sponsors.However, this sponsorship cannot be done indiscriminately. After all, no one who runs a store is simple-minded. They all hope that their stores or products will appear in movies.How to measure the combination of goods and movies is a matter worth noting.

Wan Xiaohu first went to several big shopping malls, because several scenes of the movie "Waiting Alone" were filmed in shopping malls.

But it is a pity that the advertising awareness of several shopping malls is not very strong, and there is little interest in sponsoring "Waiting Alone".

The shopping mall was not interested, so Wan Xiaohu went to several beverage manufacturers, such as Coca-Cola, Wahaha and so on.Beverage companies such as Coca-Cola and Wahaha have always liked to place their advertisements in movies.It's just that "Waiting Alone" has too little appeal to them.

"I'm sorry, I don't see the commercial value of the movie "Waiting Alone". Firstly, we don't invite stars, and secondly, we follow the movie model. I'm sorry. It's very difficult for us to choose sponsorship for such a movie." Coca-Cola Company Beijing A person in charge of the sales department directly refused.

For several days, Wan Xiaohu was busy with this matter.

But the harvest was not satisfactory.

As of March 3, he had only received less than 8 yuan in sponsorship intentions, one of which was 15 yuan sponsored by the "Agni Clothing" company, with a request that their clothes will be exclusively provided by Agni Clothing.One is Xiali Automobile Company. This automobile company is willing to provide a sponsorship of 5 yuan and support two Xiali cars for filming.

The last one is the Left Bank Coffee Shop in front of the Nortel School. They only provided a sponsorship of 3 yuan, and required the movie to have a close-up of the name of the shop for no less than 5 seconds. In the end, I have to give a handsome close-up to the owner of the coffee shop.

What can Wan Xiaohu say, no matter how small the meat on a mosquito's leg is, it is still meat!

"Am I f*cking making a movie, or doing sales at a roadside stall?" Wan Xiaohu felt extremely aggrieved. He was a dignified rebirth, but he was panicked by a little money. It's embarrassing, "No, the sponsor who should run, I ran away, and the money still hasn't arrived, so I have to change my mind. Well, let me think about it."

"Writing songs? Writing scripts? Selling them? It doesn't seem like a good idea. Now a song written by a newcomer costs at most 500 yuan a song, and someone is willing to buy it. Writing scripts, where do I get so many good scripts? A copy of "Waiting Alone" hasn't been completed yet. Besides, I have to keep good scripts for myself!"

"Sell ideas? Tell Penguin, New Wolf, and Sohu to develop scarves and games? Come on, now in 2000, not many people have seen computers, and some people have developed scarves and games that will be hot in the future. Do you want to play, does the computer support it?"

"...This doesn't work, that doesn't work, why did I, a reborn person, fail like this?"

Wan Xiaohu was walking on the main road, feeling rather self-pitying and awkward.

Looking up at the shop on the side of the road, the name of the shop is "Dandelion Souvenir Shop", and the scale is quite large. Thinking that the movie can be embedded with this shop name without spoiling the plot, Wan Xiaohu put away his aggrievedness and pushed the door open.

There were many people shopping for souvenirs in the store. When they walked to the cashier, there was a female cashier who looked like a student.Wan Xiaohu put on a smiling face: "Excuse me, are you the person in charge of this store?"

"No, what do you want from our boss?"

"Actually, I'm a director. I'm currently studying directing at Nortel. I have a crew and I'm looking for sponsorship. I want to know if your Dandelion Souvenir Shop plans to sponsor our film?"

"Well, I have to ask our boss, wait a minute, I'll call the boss."

Wan Xiaohu was admiring all kinds of souvenirs while waiting for the cashier to call.After a while, the cashier hung up the phone and said: "Our boss is very interested in sponsorship, but she doesn't have time now, she will come over at 11:30 am, I wonder if you can wait?"

"Of course, so I'll just hang around here?"

"Okay, by the way, can you tell me, what kind of movie do you make?"

There was a chair in front of the counter, and Wan Xiaohu sat down and started talking: "Our movie is called "Waiting Alone", which tells about the love life and ideal pursuit of urban young men and women. The style is between drama and comedy, I will give you Tell me a rough story?"

"Yeah."

Time passed slowly, and it was 11:30, and Wan Xiaohu and the cashier were still chatting enthusiastically.At this time, at the entrance of the Dandelion souvenir shop, a Volkswagen car stopped, and a girl dressed as a student got out.Cardigan jeans are very fashionable in this era.

The girl looks beautiful, nothing to say, with a pure face and a ponytail that is neither long nor short, beautiful and charming.
