Actor Growth Department

Chapter 106 The Director

The next day in the VIP waiting room of the flight back home, a group of people happened to meet Wang Rui, who had also returned home with great honor. Su Bai took the initiative to greet them. Wang Rui was also very happy to see them. After saying hello to Su Bai, he said to Long Jiu: "I At that time, I thought you were very powerful, congratulations, you have won the title of actor so smoothly, and you will have a bright future in the future."

Long Jiu shook hands with him, and said in the same way: "You are also very good. You won an award for your first work. I am very glad that I did not miss your movie."

Leaving aside the professional point of view, Wang Rui is really a very dedicated director. When "The Doctor Zhang Renrui" was filmed, because the biographical film was relatively small, the director and the team were not well-known, and the investment was not much. In order to ensure the quality of the shooting, Wang Rui traveled to many places across the country at his own expense in order to ensure the quality of the shooting when various funds were not sufficient. Finally, he got the beautiful and charming scenery in the film.

Su Bai turned back to Cheng Yi and said a few words, and after the two people at the head finished exchanging greetings, he and Cheng Yi stepped forward to ask again. "Director Wang, I originally wanted to contact you after returning to City B, but since I met you, I just wanted to get to know you. Do you have any plans for the future?"

He also knew a little bit before that Wang Rui's family is very ordinary, his parents are ordinary medical workers, and he has no education in professional directors, but because of his personal interest, he worked as an assistant with other directors for several years. Later, he was promoted to the position of assistant director because he could always come up with novel ideas.

In fact, with his ability, he could have tried to shoot a movie by himself, but because he has no contacts in the entertainment industry and his boss is unwilling to bother him, it was not until this year that he finally found the opportunity to direct independently.

Su Bai could probably understand that director Hong's thinking in his heart, such a talent, placed by his side, could constantly provide him with fresh ideas and shooting angles.

If he is allowed to start trying to direct a movie, maybe the first few movies can make some money for the studio, but once he really matures and has accumulated enough resources, connections and fame, he can easily set up his own business. Not to mention the loss of a right-hand man by his side, there will be another difficult competitor in the industry. How many people are willing to do such a loss-making business.

Wang Rui didn't understand why Su Bai asked this suddenly, but he still answered truthfully: "I don't know, I want to wait until the movie is released to see the situation."

Although the movie was shortlisted for best picture and he himself won an award with this movie, it still cannot change the fact that this is a niche movie. Winning an award does not mean making money. If this movie cannot bring investors If there is a considerable income, then the chances of someone investing in him in the next film will be even slimmer.

"Want to set up your own family?"

"Boss Su, you're joking." Wang Rui cocked his lips mockingly, "I'm just a newcomer in the entertainment industry. I have no background, no funds, and no reputation. How can I set up my own business?"

Su Bai seemed quite satisfied with his answer. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking, "Then...would you consider jumping to Bai Qi?"

"Bai...Bai Qi?"

"Well, yes, Bai Qi has not signed a director yet, but since "Breaking Dawn", I don't know if you have discovered that Bai Qi intends to enter the film market in an all-round way. Except for the director of "Breaking Dawn", he was hired from the United States. In addition to the famous directors, Bai Qi’s resources are used in investment, actors, and production, including a series of promotions and film arrangements in the later stage. What Bai Qi lacks now is a cutting-edge director like you who has ideas and is willing to try .”

Su Bai patiently explained the reason to him, and then said: "Your current side obviously cannot provide you with good resources, and it can even be said to be of no help. In this case, you might as well consider coming to Bai Qi's side. The specific share can be discussed later, but I promise, in terms of development, it is definitely better than your current studio."

"You might as well go back and think about it. If you are interested, you can contact Assistant Cheng directly, and he will take you to discuss the specific contract with the relevant person in charge of the company."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi on the side reacted quickly and handed over his business card. Unexpectedly, Wang Rui took the business card, and after a few seconds of silence, he said directly: "As long as Mr. Su doesn't dislike it, of course I am very willing to join Bai Qi. I don't know how Assistant Cheng when do you have time?"

In this way, Su Bai signed a director for Bai Qi. On the plane, Long Jiu tried the air flow of the air-conditioning vent, and while covering Su Bai's legs with a thin blanket from his carry-on bag, he asked: " It’s because of me that you started to enter the film market, right? When did you have the idea of ​​signing a director?”

"Well, because if you want to come out, it's better to have the whole team yourself, and you don't have to worry about not having a good film contract. I've been thinking about this since you finished filming "Breaking Dawn", but I haven't found a suitable candidate. Su Bai analyzed again: "And the film market has become more and more popular in recent years. I don't think there is any harm in letting Bai Qi share a little cake. Bai Qi has almost accumulated all kinds of resources now, and it can just play a role." "

The director can be said to be the most critical link in the entire film shooting process, determining the success or failure of the film, but in the current market, almost all famous directors have their own studios and familiar capital willing to For investment, they will never sign with the company again, and let people share a cup for nothing.

On the contrary, if there is no well-known director, there is no guarantee. Although the later training is very important for the profession of director, in the end it still needs talent. Without one or two mature works, it is impossible to tell whether a director has talent or not. Whether it is worth cultivating, so although Su Bai had an idea long ago, he has not acted for a long time.

After listening to Su Bai's words, Long Jiu touched his head, and sighed slowly, "You...how can you think so many things in your little head, you have thought about everything for me, you... .makes me feel extra useless."

"Ah..." Long Jiu said that, Su Bai thought that he had hurt his self-esteem, and immediately sat up nervously, "I didn't mean that...I...I just..."

Long Jiu knew that the other party had misunderstood, hugged him and kissed him, and said with a smile, "Fool, I can only feel proud of being so powerful, and... I will try my best to make myself better and better." Okay, let you worry less about me in the future."

"You're already very good..." Su Bai retorted subconsciously, his tone full of admiration, "Look, you've won the Best Actor after just over a year since your debut! Let alone the country, it's the whole world In the film industry, few people can do it!"

The attribute of this fanboy probably cannot be changed for a while, Long Jiu shook his head helplessly, and tapped the tip of his nose, "Okay, stop boasting, go to sleep for a while, there are still more than ten hours before landing."

In the following week, Cheng Yi quickly completed the contract termination procedures for Wang Rui, and signed under Bai Qi's banner again. At the same time, "Breaking Dawn" officially opened its world premiere at the end of the summer vacation, and Long Jiu also started a new one. A round of roadshow activities, traveling all over the country.

This premiere time was also deliberately chosen by Su Bai. Firstly, because the filming of the film ended in early July, it was really too late to catch up with the summer vacation. Furthermore, college students were one of the main groups of movie consumers. The period at the beginning of school is also the peak period of movie consumption, including the reunion of couples in different places and the reunion of roommates.

At this time, a movie after dinner will become their main choice, so the period at the end of summer and the beginning of school is a particularly popular timetable.

Long Jiu was not around, so Su Bai decided to have dinner at the company again, and after finishing the remaining work by the way, it was past ten o'clock when he looked up again.

The phone rang twice in the middle, but he deliberately ignored it. He picked up the phone and saw the name of 'Liang Yusheng' on the missed call. He couldn't help but feel a little headache.

The situation at Zhuo Yijing's side is not too bad, but after all, the injury is serious, and a lot of blood was lost during the operation, and his physical strength will inevitably decline. I don't know how to explain it, so I can only hide from the other party for the time being.

Driving home, Su Bai saw three people standing on the side of the street at the gate of the community from a distance. It was already late, and there were very few passers-by on the street. Su Bai subconsciously took a few extra glances, but when he passed by, he saw one of them standing up suddenly He took two steps forward and reached out to stop his car.

Less than ten meters ahead was the security booth of the community, and he wasn't worried about any danger, but pressed the window of the car strangely and asked, "Hello, what's the matter?"

At this moment, the two people behind that person also came up, and in the night, Su Bai saw their faces clearly, opened the door and got off the car almost immediately, and said nervously: "Uncle...uncle and aunt, are you... "

"Hello, I'm Ao Chi's mother, and this is his father." Ao's mother smiled gently, and took Su Bai's hand and patted it, "Don't be nervous, my child, we just want to see Xiao Jiu's presence." life here."
