"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. There is indeed a new film that I am interested in. It was introduced by my agent. However, it is still in the preliminary preparation stage. I happen to have a lot of leisure time at this time, so I will go and take a look."

"OK!"

"Young people should have more adventures. I have said it a long time ago that young people should increase their knowledge, especially the profession of actors, which is always locked in studios and film and television cities. How can it be done?"

"If you don't get in touch with all these 360 ​​people and understand their daily lives, how can you perform the flavor of life?"

"OK!"

"I really saw the right person!"

Before his butt could sit firmly, Lao Zhang blew out a stream of rainbow farts, one after another, with a rich vocabulary.

In this context, Wu Di seemed to be unable to find a better expression besides smiling.

In fact, his heart is as calm as water now.

Who is Lao Zhang?

He is a great director who is famous overseas. Why would he start praising a newcomer like him? There is no need at all.

To be honest, judging from the current situation, Lao Zhang is already very interested in Wu Di, and he actually allows part of the monk's house to be used by Wu Di to live in.

This is already a great deal of care. For a newcomer like Wu Di, who had no previous friendship, if there was no Zhang Feng in the middle, there would be no need for Lao Zhang to care about him.

Of course, now it doesn't matter and it matters.

Because compared to Wu Di’s expectations for Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang’s expectations for Xiao Wu are actually stronger.

Money!

Money!

That is very realistic!

Even if he and Lanmasanti reached an agreement, Wu Di couldn't help but say hello. After all, they are mother and son.

Even if the mother agrees, if the son interferes or has any objections, Lao Zhang's investment will still be in vain.

In fact, film investment is a very complicated matter, and it is not as simple as it seems.

Starting from finding the right investors is a difficult task.

Are there so many philanthropists in the world?

Even if there are, it is impossible for them all to gather in the entertainment industry or even the film industry.

Therefore, when investing in your movie, most bosses need to consider the rate of return. Only when it is worth the money and the gain exceeds the expenditure will more bosses participate in the investment.

Once investors find out that your film is suspected of overspending, or there are various shooting conditions, it is very likely that they will discontinue investment, or withdraw funds at worst.

What about movies?

Of course it can only be shelved.

There is also the issue of sunk costs. All the initial investment has been invested, but now the production has to be stopped. If the finished product cannot be produced, it cannot be released, and if it cannot be released, it will not sell tickets. So how can we recover the investment?

Therefore, a prudent investor will actually be very cautious when investing in movies to avoid regrets later and being unable to recover the cost.

And making movies is not like other types of investments, it is a one-time deal.

Filmmaking is an ongoing undertaking, that is to say, it is a period of time. From the practice over the years, we can see that the vast majority of film investments are overruns. Save money and save money for investors.

Basically, it never happened.

Therefore, for film investors, they are actually under a lot of pressure.

The problem they often face is that they have invested a lot of money in the first place, but after messing around, they still don't have enough money in the end.

Or should we invest more? If we don’t continue to invest, we will not get back the money we have already invested. If we continue to invest, whose money will be blown away by the strong wind?

Therefore, it is very important for any director to find an investor who can stably support the filming of the film, even regardless of the cost.

Art is expensive!

If you want to realize your so-called artistic dream and express your artistic pursuits, you must have money.

Among the many money-burning art industries, film is at the highest level.

Unlike painting, although it also costs money, the main expenses are to buy those expensive painting tools and visit famous teachers before becoming famous, which all require money.

However, when it comes to making movies, these are just small amounts of money.

As long as the painter becomes famous, most of the time, they can just sit back and reap the fame and fortune without the need to continue investing.

Filmmakers are different.

Filmmakers, especially directors, are actually very contradictory roles.

On the one hand, they want to show their artistic pursuits and build their external image into a big man who is crazy about art.

However, what is the reality?

The reality is that directors also want to make money for investors.

Once you only focus on expressing your own artistic pursuits and ignore investors' needs to make money, then the so-called film investment will really become a one-time deal.

Goodbye next step.

From this perspective, the value of Ramashanti can be seen.

Think about it, where can you find such an investor who has no regrets and is generous?

It is precisely because of Wu Di's existence that the bond between Ms. Lanmasanti and Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang is even closer.

Therefore, no matter what, Wu Di's attitude is very important, although this situation is very inconsistent with his current position in the film industry.

However, this is indeed the case.

"Mr. Zhang is going to make a new movie too!"

"Is the script finished?"

Wu Di looked at Lao Zhang with a smile, "We are all foxes for thousands of years, so don't go round and round again."

Strangely boring.

If you have anything to say, just say it directly.

Xiao Wu is so young, are you still worried that he will be frightened?

Lao Zhang paused, put his hands on his hands and said, "The script has been completed."

"It still needs one more draft before it can be finalized."

"So Xiao Wu, you have to be prepared. If everything goes well, filming may start early next year. By then, if you have time, I can arrange to film your scene first."

"Early next year?"

"So fast?"

"Don't you wait until after the Spring Festival?"

Time has moved forward again, it is now December, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in just over a month.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to Wu Di’s understanding, it was almost time for a holiday. Since filming has not started yet, after the Spring Festival, the team and actors will be in good condition.

It should be normal to start shooting again when times are better.

However, Lao Zhang will not talk casually.

For a veteran like him, since he proposed it, it must have been planned.

"unnecessary."

"It's best to start shooting in January. This movie is set in winter, so we should do it as soon as possible."

"At that time, we will have a few days off during the Spring Festival, and then it will be cooler in February and March, so the best time to shoot is when the streets in the north are relatively bare."

“The shooting cycle is also sufficient.”

"Of course that's good. The new film over there is directed by a newbie. A trip to the southwest made us familiar with each other. There should be time before the filming of the film starts."

"Mr. Zhang was able to give me the role because he showed his respect for me. I was really touched. This is true. However, speaking for myself, I actually have a small suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Tell me about it?" Wu Di would also give him advice, which Lao Zhang didn't expect, so now Lao Zhang is quite curious.

What would he say?

Wu Di rubbed his hands, still a little embarrassed.

Mainly because his suggestion is really a bit beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"It's like this. It's an honor for Mr. Zhang to think highly of me and give me a role. However, I feel that my time in the industry is too short and I have little experience."

"If I am allowed to participate in this movie, I hope it will only be a small supporting role. When the time comes, I will mainly go to the set to learn from the seniors and observe them."

"You don't need to give me too many scenes."

Lao Zhang was confused: What is going on?

Is there such a person in this world?
