So, on the surface, compared to Wu Di who needs Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi actually needs Wu Di more.

Definitely.

Of course, that's just on the surface.

In fact, Boss Wu is also very anxious. It's all because of the rush of tasks!

Of course, these difficulties cannot be told to others and must be hidden secretly. Fortunately, Xiao Qi is also a newcomer and does not care so much about these trivial things.

right!

The most important thing is not to care.

For example, for some experienced and senior directors, they may be able to notice something strange as soon as Wu Di takes action.

For example, if you don't work but still have a name, if you ask a big director, someone who is already famous, he will never agree to it.

Unless his brain is broken.

But Xiao Qi is different. On this issue, he can still negotiate and compromise. He lacks funds. In order to display his works well, necessary sacrifices are required.

You always have to negotiate terms!

Otherwise, why should others invest in such an unpopular movie like yours? You are still a complete newcomer.

Although, as long as you work hard and grind the iron pestle into a needle, maybe you can find investors if you run for a while.

But, to be honest, even if he is found, the conditions offered to him by those investors may not be more generous than those offered by Wu Di, and may even be more tricky.

For example, they modify the script at will, such as inserting characters that don't exist at all, just to praise their own artists.

For a new director, maintaining the integrity of the work is the most important thing.

You know, new directors and new actors often face the same situation, that is, they must make the first shot.

If the script is changed or strange people are inserted, the quality of the movie cannot be guaranteed.

Definitely.

You don’t need to film it and watch it again, you can predict it just by using your brain.

Boss Wu is different.

Although I don’t know why Wu Di insists on naming a director in a movie for a newcomer like him, but by naming him, he will not interfere with the filming of the movie, and at the same time, he can provide sufficient funds.

Where can I find such a wealthy man with a kind heart?

Besides, Wu Di himself also has certain value.

You see, The Master has been released, and the skin change is now a big hit. As the leading actor, Wu Di's popularity is rising sharply.

For a director like Xiao Qi, an actor of Wu Di's level is completely enough. After all, his movie focuses on rural themes.

Generally speaking, actors have to look ugly to participate in their movies, making themselves look shabby and filming under a dingy light. To be honest, not every actor is willing to make such a sacrifice.

Even if his script is very good, others may not be able to read it.

After all, in this era, there are really not that many big-name actors who are willing to help newcomers and who are suitable for their own scripts.

First of all, the male protagonist required for the movie Labyrinth is relatively young, which eliminates some of the industry's big names who are willing to promote new directors.

So those newcomers...

It's really difficult to find the right one.

After all, most new male actors have to pay attention to their image. They must maintain a good image in order to be able to accept various endorsements. How can a disgraced actor do that?

It's not impossible to act ugly.

But it must be valuable. People are very realistic, and you can't say there is anything wrong with reality.

Either win the prize or have box office results.

However, looking at it, the maze does not fall into these two categories.

In terms of box office, it is a country-themed movie, and in terms of awards, it is a suspense film. These two genres are disadvantaged in terms of the two purposes they want to achieve.

It's purely unreliable.

So, at the beginning, Xiao Qi's idea was very simple. As long as he got investment, he would go to his fellow students at the film school, those fledgling vegans.

They don’t have much experience in social life. If you give them a script, they will act according to the director’s requirements honestly and will not deliberately add many of their own ideas.

This is also a good choice.

After all, a lot of expenses can be reduced in terms of the salary of invited actors.

However, people, when there are better choices, they always have to give up those spare tires. For example, Wu Di is the better choice.

He already has a certain degree of popularity and can bring a certain amount of attention and even box office to a newcomer's work like Labyrinth.

After all, this newcomer only became famous during the New Year period, which means that this is the time when Wu Di is the most popular since his debut.

At this time, Maze can take advantage of this trend by starting filming. On the one hand, it will broaden the influence of newcomer Wu Di, and on the other hand, it will also allow newcomer Xiao Qi to gain more attention.

This is definitely a win-win deal.

"I didn't expect that someone would ask you to name yourself as a director. You're crazy!"

While Wu Di was happily planning his future, the system jumped out.

Spoiling other people's interest has always been his hobby.

"I want you to take care of it?"

"If you don't agree, why don't you help me find a way?"

The system quickly denied: "What can I do?"

"I've said it before, I'm an actor, not a director. I can't help with this matter."

"Since you can't help, just wait until you can help before you come out!"

"Are you annoyed?" Wu Di was very dissatisfied.

The system is a little panicked.

"No, we are still partners, how could I really not care about you."

Haha, that sounds nice.

Wu Di ignored it, but it came up to it on its own.

"Why don't you think about it, what do you need for your new movie?" The system gave sincere suggestions.

But Wu Di no longer believes in it. This is a piece of trash that goes back on its word. It’s better to count on yourself than to count on it.

"What do I need?"

"I need a director's gift package, do you have it? Can you provide it?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you say it like this, it will be boring. How can we continue talking?

"Although I don't have a director's gift package, I still have an actor's gift package." The system sold well.

"Didn't you say that the tasks of directing and acting cannot be divided, and there is nothing you can do about it?" Although the system's attitude is very good, Wu Di is not stupid.

"This is because you didn't think carefully. You forgot that in addition to being the director, you also have to star in this movie. Are you sure you won't need my help then?"

Huh?

It seems to make some sense.

Naturally, there was no reason not to accept the help that came in vain, so Wu Di continued to listen, and the system was also very understanding.

Wu Di didn't need any further hints, he understood his mission.

He quickly revealed: "Look, you still have to star in this movie. Although I can't help with the directing aspect, the actor system can still play its role."

"As long as you are in need, I will sell all the gift packages to you at half price."

“It’s actually half price?”

When Wu Di raised his eyebrows, the system realized that he had said the wrong thing and refused to answer him for a long time, which made the system very embarrassed.

This is not an act of throwing oneself into a trap.

It seems that Wu Di didn't know that the pricing could be changed before, but now it's over, he knows everything.

I can't hide it anymore.

"Don't use your imagination. It doesn't matter if you have some tricks in it. Anyway, whether those points or real coins are handed over to you, I can't get them back. The pricing power is always with you.

, I am a person who only cares about something good if it is mine. If it is not mine, even if you take it away, I don’t care."

This is the open-mindedness that belongs to Wu Di.

If he were still the original Wu Di, he would not be able to accept the gifts and help from his biological mother Lanmasanti calmly.

If he was still himself in the previous life, he would never be able to get close to someone like Xiao Qi and still cooperate.

However, the current Wu Di is a combination of the two personalities.

Not only can he accept Ms. Lan's money without any grudges, but he can also exchange interests with newcomers like Xiao Qi. More importantly, his attitude towards money has also changed greatly.
