When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

Although he said so, Bai Congzhen also felt Guan Jingzhou's helplessness.

After reading the investment intentions of major companies compiled by Su Yaya and the general trend of entertainment, film and television dramas in recent years, Bai Congzhen could only sigh.

Today's entertainment companies and the investors behind them don't pay much attention to quality in filming dramas in order to make money quickly.As long as the male and female protagonists are sweet enough to have enough rivalries, then as long as the male and female protagonists are well marketed during publicity, so as to attract more people to contribute traffic, then the background is not important at all, because they are all in love.

If you can invite celebrities with a lot of traffic to do a wave of marketing, and add more water to the broadcast volume, after the data looks good, both the company and the celebrities will have satisfactory answers.You can use these data to fool the next wave of investment and continue to make money.

Of course, there are also good dramas.

But a good TV series needs a lot of time.Therefore, the most popular ones on the market are those assembly line garbage dramas with a short production cycle.Not to mention that IP adaptations of novels have been rampant in recent years. After saving the time for screenwriters to write scripts, the production cycle of a fast-moving drama will only be shorter.

As far as capital is concerned, as long as there is money to be made, they don't care whether you scold or not.

Is it important that your curse has money?

Even when traffic was prevalent, making movies was a big trend.But which is good and which is bad, besides fans, more passers-by.After discovering that the road to streaming movies was impractical, the movie circle gradually calmed down and moved in the direction of quality again.

Faced with this situation, although Bai Congzhen was helpless, he could not change anything by himself.He also believes that no director with a bit of pursuit would be willing to sink into bad movies and dramas.

Although some people are forced to bow their heads to reality, but...

Not to mention the little unknown directors, if even those famous directors are willing to degenerate and shoot those rubbish things that insult people's IQ, Bai Congzhen can't understand.

Not only can't understand, but even wants to teach people about love.

However, he is not a psychopath who just spits dirty and curses as long as he doesn't like it.If you can't understand it, then don't understand it. He just needs to manage himself well and not be assimilated and stick to his heart, and the rest?Let him die.

He does not have a heart of Mary to influence everyone to stick to love and peace.

After leaving Guan Jingzhou's house, Bai Congzhen, who was so angry at thinking about the success of the matter, decided to go to Lou's Group to find his baby to recharge.

After recharging the battery, I was full of energy and devoted myself to the preparation of the TV series.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, one of the most indispensable is the producer.

Simply put, a producer is the person responsible for putting together a complete crew.Only by setting up the whole team can there be follow-up development.As for investors, let alone.

However, in order to ensure the quality of the TV series and not to waste his hard work, Bai Congzhen must become the biggest investor in the production team, have the absolute right to speak as the producer, and then hire a professional producer to assist.

Outside of filming, Bai Congzhen would not point fingers at the other party, but during filming, Bai Congzhen would not allow the other party to point fingers.

If it were another director, this requirement might be very harsh, but it is not a problem for Bai Congzhen.

As for the producer, Bai Congzhen, who was not very familiar with this area, approached Sun Tonghui and asked him to help introduce someone with a better reputation.

Without much trouble, Bai Congzhen and gold medal producer Li Jinyu successfully exchanged contact information and made an appointment to meet.

In a very private tea room in Beijing, Bai Congzhen sat alone cross-legged in front of the tea table, cooking water and hot cups smoothly and gracefully. When he used a teaspoon to divide the tea into two cups, the door of the tea room opened.

"Good craftsmanship from the guide." Li Jinyu praised after sitting down.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses. Although he looks ordinary, he has an elegant and easy-going temperament. Although he is nearly forty years old, he is in good shape and looks younger than his actual age.

"Please." After brewing the tea, Bai Congzhen invited the other party to taste it.

Choosing to be in a tea room is not only for privacy, but also for what one likes.Although Bai Cong really has his own arrogance, it is not arrogant.How to get along with people, how to treat colleagues, he has his own considerations in his heart.

Tasting tea is incidental, and talking about business is the key to this meeting.Since they both know the purpose of the other party's visit and don't like to beat around the bush, the conversation between the two is naturally clean.

Putting down the teacup, Li Jinyu first complimented, "The director is young and promising, and I also watched the new variety show of the director, and his strength is really strong."

Bai Congzhen said modestly: "I also did my job well. Unlike Producer Li, I have a unique vision."

"Thank you for the compliment from the director, so I won't talk nonsense." Li Jinyu smiled politely: "Mr. Sun invited me to be the producer, and I naturally did my best. It just so happened that the team I was familiar with was about to finish the work at hand. If the director has any requests, feel free to ask, we will discuss it."

"Of course I believe in Brother Li's ability. It's just that Mr. Sun may have told you before coming here that I will be the biggest investor in this show." Bai Congzhen spoke with a relaxed tone, as if this matter was not worth paying attention to at all. carry.

"Of course." Li Jinyu pushed his glasses.

It was because of this that he was sure that Bai Congzhen, a newcomer, had an unusual background.

Bai Congzhen continued: "I am an investor because I want to have the right to speak, and I want to make a good film. Only if the filming is good, can we have more income and reputation, right? In the domestic entertainment industry, I have nothing to do when I first come. I understand, in terms of crew management, Li Ge needs to take care of it."

Li Jinyu understood Bai Congzhen's hint: "I'm just a producer, and I don't know anything about filming. I can only do my own thing well in the crew, and at the same time, I believe that the ability of the director will not disappoint people."

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and Bai Congzhen refilled their cups with tea, and took the lead in raising the teacup to respect each other: "Brother Li, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Talking to smart people is productive.There is still a lot of time left, and Bai Congzhen took advantage of this environment to perform a smooth tea art in front of Li Jinyu, successfully calming him down.

With a topic that can quickly bring the distance closer, the two people who were almost teenagers almost called each other brothers when they left the tea room.

The director is in place, and the assistant director is naturally Xu Qingsong.The producer is in place, and the production team has more than half.Although Bai Congzhen took the lead as the investor, he was definitely not the only investor.

In a circle that relies on interpersonal communication, it is not a good habit to eat alone.

Of course, variety shows and film and television dramas are still different.

Not to mention other things, the investment cost alone is incomparable between the two.With this TV series, it can be said that Bai Congzhen has truly stepped into the entertainment circle.

Variety show?Those were appetizers.

And in the entertainment industry, when it comes to investment, there must be various banquets.

Although Bai Cong really invested, he didn't spend any of it himself, it was all Lou Hean's own private account.

Originally, my lover wanted to use the name of Lou's Group, but was persuaded by Bai Congzhen to use the name of Yunzhen Entertainment.After all, the Lou Group has never been associated with the entertainment industry, and this is Bai Congzhen's first TV series, so he doesn't want to be so public.

Besides, Yunzhen Entertainment is also Lou Hean's company, so it doesn't matter which name it uses.

If it weren't for Bai Congzhen's persuasion, Lou He'an would have been able to get the funds in one step.

But as I said earlier, eating alone is not a good habit.In the circle, everyone who has money has always made money together. This is not only because it can relieve the pressure on the company's book caused by the large investment, but more importantly, it is to consolidate the network.

It is easy to do things with contacts.

For the rest of the investment, Bai Congzhen pulled Xu Qingsong who wanted to join in the fun, and followed Li Jinyu to a reception.

As a director, this kind of entertainment will definitely not be the last time.

Before going, Su Yaya also specially vaccinated these two, "From Zhen Qingsong, I can see that your family background must be good from getting along with each other these days. Although the reception in the circle is relatively clean, everyone They are all putting on airs. However, there must be some things that are common in the circle but not common to you.”

"No matter what you two see, try not to care about it. It's not that you are afraid of being cowardly, but I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of people. Most of the people who attended the reception have some purpose, although there are also people who are not clear, so they are rejected. Those who are cheated are also a minority. Don't be overwhelmed with sympathy."

Su Yaya earnestly said, "You are both good-looking and unfamiliar, if you are accidentally offended, don't make a big fuss."

Bai Congzhen and the two nodded obediently, but when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of the same excitement.

There's no way, the two bumpkins just haven't seen the world.

Knowing that it was the first time for Bai Congzhen and Xu Qingsong to participate in this kind of reception, Li Jinyu also gave them a brief introduction to the boss who organized the game on the way there.

"Qian Xing's family is in the light industry, and he has a good family background. He and his wife are also married. But the two have no relationship, and they each play their own way. No one cares about the rich family, so Qian Xing It's the one that's played more openly. Of course, those who have a bit of status will have a sense of proportion, and those who are reckless will not make a big deal."

Bai Congzhen repeated meaningfully: "It's related to light industry."

Li Jinyu became interested: "Why, the director is also familiar with this?"

"No, I just have a family who happens to be doing this." Bai Congzhen replied briefly, and asked Li Jinyu to continue.

Xu Qingsong who was at the side curled his lips secretly after hearing Bai Congzhen's words.

Li Jinyu continued: "Qian Xing is quite arty on the surface, and he likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of famous masters. Every time a game is organized, it is not just for drinking, but usually for some meaningful calligraphy and painting. Using this name, invite people to come. Tasting."

"However, no one in the circle really understands this. It's fine to say a few words to make Qian Xing save face when watching it. The main thing is to build relationships and network."

"If there are no accidents during this trip, the investment can be directly discussed."

The reception was held in a private villa on the outskirts of Qianxing.When Bai Congzhen and the others arrived, many cars had already parked outside the villa.

Pushing the door open, the inside is a different scene from the quiet night outside.

Bai Congzhen's eyes were also attracted by those well-dressed men and women who were obviously different from the bosses.Although he didn't have any familiar faces, it didn't prevent him from knowing that these people must all be stars.

He and Xu Qingsong looked at each other quietly, and Bai Cong secretly clicked his tongue from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the three of them entered, they attracted many people's attention.Someone who was acquainted with Li Jinyu quickly came up to say hello.Between the words, he was somewhat interested in the two unfamiliar faces next to Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu also took this opportunity to introduce Bai Congzhen and Xu Qingsong to everyone.

Although Bai Congzhen had been famous in the entertainment industry before, it was only now that many people matched his face.For a while, many people stepped forward to say hello.

"Director Bai is really young and promising. The first variety show became popular. I don't know what's the next plan?"

"The last time I filmed a variety show Yun Zhen was so tightly covered, this time I can't hide it anymore."

"Director Bai developed abroad before? You can come out to play more just after returning to China, and we can also take Director Bai to get acquainted."

……

Bai Congzhen's expression almost cracked when he heard the "Guide Bai" one bite at a time.Seeing that the person next to him was in a bad mood, Li Jinyu understood Guan Qiao after a little thought.

Bai Congzhen's Weibo nickname is still there. Although these people do not understand it, but Bai Congzhen will definitely not be in a good mood.Li Jinyu quickly interrupted those people.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, although the director's surname is Bai, we have to be careful. How can we call someone 'Director Bai'? Director Cong is going to be filming a TV series soon, which sounds inauspicious."

Everyone felt that it was not very good when they heard it, so they called "Guide" together with Li Jinyu, and asked about the TV series.

After all, everyone knew why Li Jinyu brought people here.If it sounds profitable, I will not be stingy with those investments.

Li Jinyu was used to these scenes, and could handle them with ease.Bai Congzhen could barely maintain a smile, slowly escaped from the encirclement, and found a sofa in the corner to sit down.After a while, Xu Qingsong also came.

"These big bosses are too good at talking." Xu Qingsong put the wine glass in his hand on the table.

"You can say yes, look over there." Bai Congzhen raised his chin diagonally, "Li Jinyu is a decent person, and most of his acquaintances are of good character. If you meet someone like that, I will I'd rather listen to their gossip."

On the first floor of the villa, most of the guests chatted in twos and threes.Some people were followed by beautiful boys and girls, those who restrained their movements were hugging their waists and grabbing their hands, but those who didn't restrained their movements, those in the corner had already touched their thighs.

Although Xu Qingsong is fond of having fun with men and women, it definitely doesn't mean that he likes such scenes.In contrast, Bai Congzhen was much calmer.

"Excuse me, are you the director?" A soft and soft female voice suddenly intervened.
