Star Entertainment Tycoon

On February 171, 2 in the cosmic calendar, all the news websites in Huaguo posted such a news on their homepages - Gu Jingchuan, the director of the movie "Singing Spring", acquired Star Entertainment Film Company and became the owner of a film company!

For such a piece of news, the netizens were only excited for a while, hoping that Gu Jingchuan would make a better movie, but the bigwigs in the entertainment industry hated it so much that their teeth were itchy, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.

Star Entertainment Film Company, just sounds like a tall name, but in fact it is just a small-scale wholly-owned film company with a distribution department, and its scale is not very large.The entertainment industry has been sluggish in the past few years, and this film company has been losing money all year round. If it weren't for the boss of this film company, Zhou Pingfeng, who also has business in other industries, the loss of the film company alone would have caused him to go bankrupt.

The company doesn't make money, which makes Boss Zhou feel disheartened, and he has the idea of ​​selling the film company and developing other businesses with all his strength.There was a distribution company to match up, and he coveted the price of 2000 million star coins given by Gu Jingchuan, so he sold the company to Gu Jingchuan quite readily.

Anyway, he doesn't plan to stay in the entertainment industry anymore, does he still care about the entertainment industry's order to ban Gu Jingchuan?Of course money is the most important thing!If he doesn't sell it to Gu Jingchuan, his film company will have to wait for bankruptcy. He can't lose tens of millions of profits just because of a frivolous order from the entertainment industry.

Acquiring a company is a commercial act. As long as Gu Jingchuan has money and the other party is willing to sell, he can negotiate a deal and sign an agreement.In this regard, the entertainment industry has no way to stop it. It can only watch Gu Jingchuan get a fully equipped film company through gritted teeth.

Although many film company employees chose to resign and leave Planet Entertainment because they were afraid of the power of the entertainment industry, Gu Jingchuan didn't take it to heart. They can recruit more employees, and if they can't recruit inside the industry, they can recruit those outside the industry to gradually train them. Whether a film company is successful or not depends on its works. As long as it can produce good works, the company will naturally develop.

Those guys in the entertainment industry can only use this kind of hooligan tricks that hurt others and benefit themselves. If they really have the ability and know how to reflect, do they still need to compete with him now?With a cold snort, Gu Jingchuan began to think of ways to recruit the necessary employees for the next movie.

He can act as the director himself, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.He can also serve as a screenwriter for a period of time, so there is no rush.The entire entertainment industry is currently unable to find a few qualified and excellent screenwriters. Rather than recruiting them and causing him headaches, it is better to train them from scratch.Shen Zhuo can help in the later stage, and it will be enough to recruit people through his introduction in the future.It was the other positions that he needed to call urgently.

He can recruit for positions like drama management through the strength of the theater chain. Although the work of drama management is very important, there is not much requirement for the circle the personnel belong to. It is not impossible for laymen to come in and do it. Cultivate, and gradually you will be able to be independent.What is more troublesome are highly professional positions such as photographers, makeup artists, lighting engineers, and sound engineers, which are beyond the reach of laymen.

Makeup is a university question, and there are many opinions on what kind of makeup to wear on what occasion.Different from ordinary situations, when shooting movies, the lighting is often very bright, the makeup is not good, and the facial features of the actors will be blurred in the lens.If it was in the 21st century, ordinary makeup artists and stylists would also know how to do makeup for the camera, but now it is the cosmic calendar and the entertainment industry is in a downturn, which also makes there are fewer professionals who know how to make up and style in the industry.

Gu Jingchuan couldn't recruit people in the entertainment industry, but he found makeup artists and stylists for several online shows through instant.com.Internet shows are also shot under lights, and these people of course know how to maintain the makeup of the characters in front of the camera.Moreover, online programs are more flexible, not as rigid as the current film and television dramas. These people's imaginations are richer than the experts in the circle, which is enough to meet Gu Jingchuan's current needs.

As for the photographers, Gu Jingchuan directly recruited two photographers who shot the MV.These two photographers graduated from the film university back then. Because they offended someone during school, they were excluded when they went to the entertainment industry to find a job.

Because of the lack of popular music, the music industry has long since left the entertainment industry and became independent. These two people are not part of the industry, so naturally they are not afraid of the warnings from the entertainment industry.It's a big deal that they won't be able to get along and return to the music industry. They have offended people in the entertainment industry a long time ago, are they afraid of offending them again?

With the help of these two photographers, Gu Jingchuan successfully recruited a lighting engineer, a sound engineer, and even a set designer and editor, all of which came from the support of the music circle next door.Although the music industry is better than the entertainment industry, it is not that strong. Gu Jingchuan is willing to spend star coins to recruit people, so naturally some people are willing to change jobs.

The ban/kill/order of the entertainment circle can only stop people in the circle, but they can't stop those in the music circle. In addition, the theater is in the honeymoon period with Gu Jingchuan, and they help him stop the suppression of the entertainment circle everywhere, successfully Let him gather all the behind-the-scenes personnel needed to make a movie.

"Actors are left?" Shen Zhuo looked at Gu Jingchuan who was exhausted and collapsed on the sofa after running outside for a day, "What do you plan to do as an actor?"

Gu Jingchuan stretched comfortably, "Don't even think about the actors in the entertainment industry. They are either banned/killed/intimidated or dead-headed. No one will join my company to make a movie for me."

"Then you are not in a hurry? Why don't you hurry up and find someone?" Shen Zhuo rubbed his temples and said helplessly.

"It's useless to be anxious about this kind of thing." Gu Jingchuan sat up straight, and said with a smile: "No matter how anxious I am, I can't break through the blockade of the entertainment industry...so I don't want those people who have already entered the circle Now, the key is those who haven't come in yet!"

Shen Zhuo was taken aback, not understanding what Gu Jingchuan meant, "You want to recruit ordinary people to act in movies?"

Gu Jingchuan shook his head, "Of course not." Movies are different from TV dramas, and the magnification ability of the big screen is too strong, and performances with slightly inferior acting skills cannot be tolerated.His career has just started, and he can't stand the setbacks and blows. Actors with poor acting skills are hard to control, and it's easy to ruin the whole movie. He doesn't dare to take this risk.

Although there are some newcomers in some successful movies, how many successful movies have actors who are all newcomers who have not received any professional training?Anyway, Gu Jingchuan couldn't find a bunch of newcomers who couldn't act to make a movie.

Since he couldn't find ordinary people, but also wanted to find people with acting skills, Gu Jingchuan set his sights on the major film schools and repertory theater troupes.

Those students who have not graduated from the school are not yet complete circle members, and they will not be greatly influenced by the circle.It is nothing new for students from repertory theater troupes and repertory theater schools to cross borders and enter the film and television industry as early as the earth's history. As long as he wields his hoe well, it will be a matter of time before he is scooped up as a good actor.

The blockade of him by the entertainment industry at this stage not only failed to effectively stop Gu Jingchuan's belief in making new movies, but instead inspired his fighting spirit.He doesn't know if this young body still retains the rebellious psychology that belongs only to young people. Anyway, that's what he thinks. If the entertainment circle doesn't want him to do something, he has to show them.

He wants to open a film company, he wants to make new movies, and he wants to turn the entire decadent entertainment industry upside down!

"I want to make a new movie, and I still use special effects to shoot it. I have already thought about the storyline. I started writing the script a few months ago, but now it's just a little bit modified." Gu Jingchuan narrowed his eyes Eyes, said comfortably: "People in the entertainment industry probably know that I have a plan to make a new movie, so they are so anxious to kill me. But I will not let them do what they want!"

"New movie?" Shen Zhuo once heard Gu Jingchuan talk about the preparation of a new movie, but he didn't know what his new movie was going to be. As soon as he heard that it was going to be done with special effects technology, he was immediately interested. "how do you want to do it?"

Gu Jingchuan smiled, "I want to create a planet that doesn't exist, a paradise of the universe... use special effects to show the delicate side of literature and art, so that people in the entertainment industry can no longer criticize the contribution of special effects to movies. "

"Create a brand new planet..." Shen Zhuo's eyes showed a bit of heat, "It's a very interesting idea... I'm very interested." Shen Zhuo stood up and said seriously: "I can join your A new movie?"

"Of course." Gu Jingchuan also stood up and said seriously.

"How about joining your new company?" Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"The position of technical director is reserved for you, and I'm waiting for you at any time..." Gu Jingchuan made a "please" gesture and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't want to be subservient to my little temple."

"How is it possible? I've always been interested in new things." Shen Zhuo said seriously: "And I don't want to stay in the repair shop alone. You know I don't know how to do housework."

"That's true, I don't worry about you staying alone in the repair shop..." Gu Jingchuan twitched his lips, "So... welcome Mr. Shen Zhuochen to join my film company." It's a good excuse not to do housework Well, the pseudo-boy doesn't think that he can be successfully lured to a technical master to join the company with just his little housework skills.Shen Zhuo chose to join because of friendship.

"Okay, I'll join." Shen Zhuo nodded, the dull hair on his head shook, full of cuteness.Seeing his serious expression, Gu Jingchuan couldn't help but want to laugh, and finally endured it.Why does this person with an elite face always give people a cute feeling?It can't be his illusion...

After successfully pulling Shen Zhuo into his company, after a while, Gu Jingchuan sat in the spaceship and searched for qualified actors.He originally thought that this process would be quite difficult. Who knew that finding an actor was even easier than finding a photographer. He found many underappreciated actors within a few places.

In fact, this is also easy to understand. The film and television industry has long been accustomed to ranking seniority. The reason why Gu Jingchuan stayed in the crew of "Ruo Ruchu's Confession" was that the actor named Mu Jiang was replaced because his qualifications were not enough?A small role with a few words can only be performed after accumulating several years of qualifications. It is conceivable how difficult it is for young actors to do it, and there is no bright future at all.

Those actors who have already signed the company can only accept their fate, wasting their youth and wasting time in the company.Those actors who offended others and couldn't get signed to the company and talented young people who are unwilling to waste their time are caught in painful struggles, and they can't see a bright future anyway.

These people have one foot in the circle and have received strict performance training, but one foot is outside the circle. They can only find other jobs to support themselves temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to make movies.I consider myself an actor, but I can’t make films. The whole industry is in a downturn. As an actor, I can’t even support my family. I can only hang out in other industries, do errands that I don’t want to do, and sink in despair.It's so pathetic and deplorable...

As long as they are given the opportunity to make videos, they will not care about the warnings from the entertainment industry.If the entertainment industry doesn't give them a way out, can they stop them from going their separate ways?

Listening to their stories, Gu Jingchuan frowned more and more, and his heart throbbed with pain.He could see the struggles of these actors and see their pain, but he couldn't help them all.

His own film company is just in its infancy, and there are really not many actors that can accommodate it. The contracted actors he recruited this time are no more than a dozen, but apart from the dozen or so lucky ones he selected, there are still Too many "actors" can only continue to suffer in this entanglement and pain.

There was a middle-aged man, seeing that Gu Jingchuan had filled all the places, his eyes were a little red.He stopped Gu Jingchuan, and asked him softly, "Mr. Gu, is your company still short of people? Drama, chores, and sweeping are all available...Can you let me...I..."

Gu Jingchuan pursed his lips and asked, "Sir, what is your occupation?"

The middle-aged man looked into Gu Jingchuan's eyes and said in a low voice: "My name is Fang Cheng, and I'm an actor... an actor who came out of film school and had no acting skills and could only start a small business. When I just graduated, I didn't have any acting skills. , my mother is seriously ill, I need money to see a doctor for her, so I can only give up my career as an actor and find another job. Now that she is gone, I want to open up, I want to act, and I only want to act."

"Why don't you seek employment as an entertainment star and studio star?" Gu Jingchuan asked in a low voice.

Fangcheng's voice was a little hoarse, "I've been there, but I don't accept it anywhere. As an actor, they think I have no qualifications, and as a theater manager, they think I'm too old to be useful to young people... I'm not here to make money, but to please myself A dream, I want to see what the set looks like..."

Gu Jingchuan could see the fire in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and he could also see his determination to become an actor.This is a good actor, but the entertainment industry doesn't give such a person a chance at all!

Gu Jingchuan knew that if he didn't give Fangcheng a chance, no one in Huaguo would give him a chance, and his career as an actor would be completely ruined.He thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to give Fang Cheng a chance, and also give a chance to those people in this world who have difficulty becoming actors.He knew that he could not save all the people in pain, but he hoped that he could do his best to save more people.

Having recruited enough employees and actors, Gu Jingchuan gathered all the staff needed by a film company, and his film company located in Entertainment Star is finally about to open.Gu Jingchuan hired someone to design the logo of the new company, and also gave the new company a name, but Shen Zhuo didn't understand why the new company had such a name.

"White Whale?" Shen Zhuo was a little puzzled, "Didn't the original Star Entertainment sound good? Why did you change it to White Whale? Is there any special meaning?"

Gu Jingchuan smiled, looked at the employees who were busy in the company, and said: "A whale is a different kind. It is said that it is a mammal, but it looks like a fish. It is said that it is a fish, but it also looks like a fish." It's a real mammal."

"In our film company, everyone is heterogeneous and is banned by the traditional entertainment industry. What we want to do is also a movie that is not allowed by tradition, just like Moby Dick. We want to be as beautiful as Moby Dick, the same Cute, equally likable, and better than anyone else on the path of being different."

You say I am a different kind, I am a different kind, what's wrong with being a whale?Sooner or later, I'm going to show you all the world!
