Li Qiuting returned to Youzhou after the Lantern Festival. As soon as she came back, she discussed the movie script he gave to Chen Zi'ang before the New Year.

"This script is quite suitable for directors like Li Yibai to shoot. Of course, there are more suitable ones, but we definitely can't hire such a director." Li Qiuting was very sorry that she had not made an appointment to meet Li Yibai until now.

There are some things that cannot be discussed on the phone.

You need to have a deep chat when meeting.

But Li Yibai's time is tight now, and it is true that he is avoiding Li Qiuting.

"What do you mean specifically by Li Yibai?" Chen Zi'ang asked Li Qiuting.

Li Qiuting said helplessly: "I have already stated on my phone that our Boyu Entertainment is going to develop into the film and television field. Now there is a lack of a director to take charge and want to invite him over. He politely declined."

In a movie, you usually look for a director first and then an actor.

It can be seen what the director's status and status look like in the entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of actors, and there are many good and bad ones.

But the director, no matter how good or bad, is much smaller than the number of actors.

A good director is even more insignificant.

"Who else do you know except Li Yibai?" Chen Ziang asked.

Boyu Entertainment does variety shows to attract artists and promotes Shizifeng Technology's products.

Chen Zi'ang calculated that Bo Yu doesn't make much money at present.

The current variety show market is far from reaching the level of prevalence in previous lives.

At that level, popular variety shows are comparable to big productions, and the money they earn is no worse than movies with a box office hit.

That's because the sponsor is willing to spend money.

But variety shows that lose money are comparable to movie investment and loss.

"I know more about actors, and I don't get involved in the director circle." Li Qiuting felt a little embarrassed.

Although she won the Best Actress Award for Two, her connections are all in the actor circle.

She hasn't integrated into the director circle yet.

She knows a lot of directors, but she doesn't have much contact with them.

Famous directors are all under the film and television giants.

Unknown...

Li Qiuting didn't dare to invite him, because Boyu Entertainment wanted to invest, and the risk was too high.

In fact, Boyu Entertainment has the conditions to develop into the film and television field, which are much better than some entertainment companies.

First of all, Boyu Entertainment is one of the investors. Unlike some entertainment companies, even if they participate in investment, they are pitifully rare and they all go to invest.

Some even make money by making money, not investing, only paying for others, and the risk is borne by the investors.

"Where is Teacher Zhang, do she know many directors?" Chen Ziang asked.

Li Qiuting knew who Teacher Zhang was mentioned by Chen Zi'ang, and that was Zhang Baoying, the director of the performance department of Beijing Film Academy.

Although Zhang Baoying is a student in the acting department, Beijing Film Academy also has a director major.

For so many years, there are all well-known and unknown directors who have graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

As one of the school leaders of Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Baoying should know many directors.

"Knowing is knowing, and Teacher Zhang can only set up a line for us." Li Qiuting said: "Now we are working on two-pronged approach. While we are looking for Teacher Zhang, I will also have a meeting with him when Li Yibai is free."

"Okay, let's talk about the director, it's easy to find actors." Chen Ziang nodded.

With Li Qiuting here, you can find any actor you want.

After the start of major universities, Chen Zi'ang began to run to Beijing Film Academy diligently.

Listening to classes is second, and meeting new friends is the main thing.

In addition, he also talked to Zhang Baoying.

Zhang Baoying knows a lot of directors, and Chen Zi'ang even showed the script to Zhang Baoying.

But after reading it, Zhang Baoying fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she said: "There are still many directors who are literary and artistic and close to reality, because these are small and medium-sized films, unlike commercial blockbusters."

The directors of commercial blockbusters have all had qualifications.

After all, the big production costs are hundreds of millions of yuan. The investor is not stupid and will not give the money to an unqualified person to help them make money. That is equivalent to handing over the steering wheel of the car to a person who has never driven a car.

"I'll help you contact the directors of one or two of these films." Zhang Baoying finally said to Chen Zi'ang.

The ones she made the wire were all the ones she was more confident in not cheating Chen Zi'ang.

Because Chen Zi'ang clearly stated that Boyu Entertainment needs to invest.

The money involved is still tens of millions. Zhang Baoying didn't want to help Chen Zi'ang direct the movie because of the person he introduced, but she lost it.

In this way, Li Qiuting was trying hard to convince Li Yibai, while Zhang Baoying set up a candidate for director for Chen Zi'ang.

A few days later, Chen Zi'ang and Li Qiuting came to the door in person and invited a director who specializes in making romance films.

This director is in his forties and has made many urban romance films.

There are some expirations and some fires.

A popular movie has a box office of 200 million yuan, but the cost is only 40 to 50 million yuan.

In this way, all parties, including theaters, have earned 150 million yuan.

Such investments have considerable profits.

"Hello Director Sun!"

Chen Zi'ang and Li Qiuting visited the director who was directed by Sun Zhenghong and Zhang Baoying.

Sun Zhenghong's name looks quite feminine, but she is actually a big man.

"Hello!" Sun Zhenghong poured tea for Chen Zi'ang and Li Qiuting. The meeting was at his home, the provincial capital of Jizhou.

Although Sun Zhenghong also signed a contract with a film and television company, she had plenty of time.

At the beginning, he signed a contract for five years and had to make at least three movies for the company. He finished filming three movies in the first three and a half years. It was a small hit, one movie was lost, and one movie would not lose or make a profit.

With more than a year left, Sun Zhenghong can negotiate with the company and go out to shoot other people's movies.

"I took the liberty to bother Director Sun." Chen Zi'ang sat down, took a sip of tea, and then asked straight to the point: "Director Sun has read the script, right?"

Before coming, Chen Zi'ang handed the script to Sun Zhenghong to read.

"Well, I read it, the script is very good." Sun Zhenghong's face was full of joy and worry. As a director, he can be said to be the ruler of the entire crew, and he is more majestic.

"I don't know if Director Sun is interested in directing it, so we will be responsible for our Boyu Entertainment." Chen Zi'ang said with a smile.

Sun Zhenghong knew that Boyu Entertainment was going to develop into the film and television field, and he had read some information about Boyu Entertainment before.

The other party had something to ask for him, so Sun Zhenghong certainly would not let go of some interests and said, "Yes, but I want to finish the right."

Li Qiuting's face changed slightly.

Whether in China, abroad, or even in Hollywood, the final editing rights of the film are rarely in the hands of the director.

In more than 90% of the cases, the director only has partial editing rights.

The meaning of the editor's existence alone is because editing itself is an art, a profound science and a complex technology.

How to combine materials into a complete story depends on the editor’s years of experience and superb skills.

Many times, the editor's use of montage and the processing of details far exceeds the director's own understanding of film editing. And the director often has his own obsession with some of the handling of the film, similar to the obsession of the authorities.
