And if you are a behind-the-scenes investor who specializes in managing the company, you can consider the director aspect.

Arrange in advance.

After all, the identities of director and company boss are compatible, but it is not so easy for actors.

After all, Wu Di is still too young considering his age. As an actor who has just become famous, he is still on the rise.

There are many more roles he can try.

If you really go all out to act, you'll be working on at least three productions a year. You'll be on the crew so intensively, and you'll have to participate in various commercial activities. It's conceivable that you won't have much time to really care about the company's operations.

However, the director is different.

No matter how hard-working a director is, he can't make three movies a year. He is really too busy. Even Octopus can't keep up!

If we calculate it as one movie per year, even if a movie takes half a year to shoot, this still includes the post-production time, and there is still half a year of leisure time.

It is more than enough to run the company.

What's more, being an actor is a front-end job, and you need to show your face. Whether it's fans or manufacturers, they are looking for you just to see your face.

If you don't attend, the event will be meaningless.

Since you have to show your face, this requires that you must attend every event, big or small, as long as it is agreed and finalized.

This will waste your time to a large extent. Where will you have the energy to run the company?

But the director is different. The director is a person behind the scenes. Except for the film's press conference, screenings basically do not require real people to attend.

Just leave the publicity work to the actors and other production staff. In this way, apart from studying your own movies of that year, the rest of the time is free and can be controlled independently.

You can take care of the company's affairs at the same time.

But correspondingly, for a long time, the income level of film directors will not be able to keep up with that of front-stage actors. How many activities do other actors have?

Basically every job has big rewards.

And what about you, a film director?

If you want to make money, you have to rely on your own movies, but one movie a year is too inefficient. Besides, if it is just one movie, it means putting all your bets on it. If it succeeds, then

It means that you can achieve financial freedom overnight, your whole life will become more stable, and you will no longer have to look at anyone’s face!

However, you cannot rely solely on optimism to lead a successful life.

Is there any possibility of losing money?

You can’t help but consider it!

If we lose this, it will be a big loss, and it might even cost the entire company!

Calculating this way, it is safer to be an actor. At least, whether it is the products endorsed, the company goes bankrupt, or the film and television dramas are not sold in the end, it has nothing to do with the actor himself.

The small amount of money has been earned long ago.

After filming "Monster's Orphans", let's see the response!

From Wu Di's own point of view, he prefers to be the boss behind the scenes. First, he is the boss of a film company. This identity is more suitable for him.

In our last life, we were more or less a rich second generation, weren't we?

They are all engaged in business.

Moreover, directors can also guest star in their own movies, and no one will care about even the starring role. As long as you can balance both identities, the audience won't care whether you are narcissistic or not!

He also directed and acted, so he was so thick-skinned?

In fact, in today's film market, there are quite a few people who maintain their identities as actors and also write and direct films.

Not uncommon.

So, as long as there is a good script, Wu Di can direct and star at the same time, using his dual identities to boost the box office.

However, looking at the current situation, this road will not be available for a while. In a short period of time, you can still make more money as an actor.

Get money faster.

Now Wu Di also has to support the company. With so many employees waiting for him to pay their salaries, he cannot leave everyone aside and only care about himself and do whatever he wants.

You still have to find a way to make enough money first. Once you have the capital, you can take a break and then find a good script to try your hand at.

This is the correct way to open it.

This script cannot be a big production yet. It must be tested from a small cost. The basic route is no different from Xiao Qi's.

Now Xiao Qi can be said to have landed. No matter how Wu Di struggles, as long as Maze wins the Water City Award, then both the industry and investors will recognize his ability.

They will naturally regard the maze as Xiao Qi's work, and as for Wu Di, it has become a pendant.

This is also what it should be.

Originally, the story was created by someone else, and they were also the main director during the actual filming. You just participated from the sidelines.

Do you really think of yourself as a real director?

But you can’t say that the pendant is useless and meaningless.

After all, Wu Di now does have the status of a director, and he also has a masterpiece that has been shortlisted for the three major movies.

When the time comes, when the list of winners is announced, why don’t you still want to bring Wu Di along?

As long as you can bring it along, even if the industry doesn't recognize it, it can still be considered an achievement. In the future, when you want to make a film and become a director, relying on this name will alleviate some difficulties in attracting investment.

These are all things for later.

For today's plan, we still need to make the profession of acting better, or at least gain a solid reputation in the industry.

After all, even if you want to combine the roles of actor and director into one, you must achieve good and stable results in the field of actor.

Just when Wu Di was planning to continue his career as an actor and take a step further, Brother Hai also walked over to him with a smile on his face.

Wu Di immediately became alert.

A month ago, he would have been unprepared for such a smile, but it was different now. He knew very well what such a smile meant.

This is a trap!

"Brother Hai, I'm ready. As long as I finish the makeup, I can start shooting."

There is a script on Wu Di's lap, with horizontal bars and circles on it, and a lot of writing and drawings. It looks very good.

Brother Hai didn't even look at it, he just handed over a stack of paper.

Looking down, Wu Di felt his eyes go dark.

"This is……"

"Insurance policy!" Brother Hai said matter-of-factly, with a bright smile, but no matter how he smiled or how friendly he acted, he couldn't hide the fact that he was causing trouble.

"Xiao Wu, you are Lao Zhang's son-in-law. We are all my own family members. I cannot treat you badly. You see, for your safety, I even bought you accident insurance!"

"Although our film doesn't have many martial arts scenes, it still has to be filmed, and there are still dangers. You'd better sign one."

"Please have peace of mind."

"Accidental danger!"

"Oh, what a big portion!"

"Several millions!"

"Boss Wu, why don't you sign it quickly! You can't let down Brother Hai's heart!"

Han Jingjing, this little girl, is either lazy or on the way to laziness. Once she comes back to work, she starts to act strangely.

What's her expression like?

It's like having the words "gloat over misfortune" carved on your head.

Wu Di's heart was filled with mixed emotions. How could this be an insurance policy? This was simply to put eye drops on Wu Di. Isn't this a curse on him?

Signing this thing will inevitably give people the feeling that something is going to happen even if nothing happens.

"Brother Hai, I'd better not sign this."

"I only have a few scenes in total, so I don't need to be so aggressive. I still trust the crew."

"We are such a formal crew, filming so many martial arts scenes, what can go wrong?"

In fact, it was not Wu Di's fault.

He had signed this kind of thing before, when he was filming the skin change, but at that time, signing an insurance policy was considered excusable.

Because Wu Di is one of the leading actors in Skin Change, he has a lot of scenes, and there are indeed several action scenes.

The risk was relatively high, not to mention that at that time, Wu Di was still a pure amateur in the film industry and really had no shooting experience.

I signed this just in case, and Da Fei agreed.

But the same insurance policy has a larger amount, but at this time, the meaning is completely different.

This is humiliating!

I'm telling Wu Di, be careful, kid, don't come to me if you have a problem!
