Chapter 559 Want It All

Shen Xudong's recruitment of personal assistants is not a big deal to him.

But for the industry, especially those young people who have movie dreams, it is a shortcut...

Shen Xudong!

Everyone wants to follow in the footsteps of successful people and speed up their own progress.

You can definitely learn a lot from close contact with Shen Xudong.

Moreover, it is said that the reason why Shen Xudong recruited assistants...

The main thing is that we need an assistant director - the assistant director of "Famous"!

"Become Famous" is a team building for the big guys in Beijing.

If this happens...

Many directors started as assistants, such as Chen Kexin, Chen Desen...

Therefore, most of the applicants in this batch are studying directing or are interested in movies.

Shen Xudong's requirements are very simple, no gender restriction, know something about movies, not an idiot...

Of course, if you have some education and are good-looking, it will definitely be a plus!

I can only think about it, how many highly educated people are there in the entertainment industry?

But he heard from Chen Xi that Guo Fan, Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin...

No, how does Chen Xi do things? What I want is a soft girl, secretary, do you understand? Not a talented director!

Damn, these three are all talented...

Needless to say, Guo Fan, Su Lun is the director of "Cohabitation in Time and Space", and Yin Ruoxin has "Goodbye, Boy", "My Sister"...

Knowing that he is a talent, Shen Xudong cannot refuse...

Forget it, let them all stay and let all three of them be assistants, and by the way go to work as assistant directors on the set of "Famous"...

Open another copy - top directors start as assistants!

Or: China Entertainment’s Bole System, I’m lying flat!

…

Guo Fan's experience is similar to that of most people who pursue their dreams in the entertainment industry.

It's just that he's more sci-fi - a law student.

Like Yang Qing, the director of "Night Club", you studied acting at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, and then entered the directing department of the Chinese Theater Adult Education College...

You have absolutely nothing to do with film and television...

You can imagine how difficult it is to get into the circle.

Guo Fan joined the first program group of Travel TV.

In fact, most directors are from TV program groups.

The program is very training, and graphic design, copywriting, script writing, and planning are all useful!

Guo Fan was born in the TV program group, Liu Jiangjiang ("Life Events"), Shao Yihui ("The Myth of Love"), including Li Yu, Ma Liwen, etc. are all from the TV program group.

Back to the topic, he learned about Tianmei Media’s recruitment information from his friends.

Being an assistant to Shen Xudong means that there is a high possibility of integrating into his circle!

What does it mean to be part of his circle?

Anyone who wants to be a director or producer has the opportunity.

Therefore, he signed up immediately, went through two rounds of screening, and then got the final interview opportunity...

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Xi told him that Shen Xudong was waiting for him on Republic Street of Huairou Film and Television Base!

He was so excited that he drove to Huairou early the next morning and arrived at the set of "Famous"...

At this time, Shen Xudong was eating. When he saw him: "Have you eaten yet? Eat something first!"

Guo Fan quickly sat down, but before he could say anything, two more women came over, and Shen Xudong greeted him in the same way...

Could it be one of three options?

After thinking too much, Shen Xudong had no choice at all...

They are all talented people, so of course they are packed!

I want them all!

…

"I'll give you three a mission. The filming of "Famous" will start tomorrow. You can follow the filming and record it!"

"The team will be formed by ourselves, and the filming funds will be applied to Chen Xi..."

After a busy day, while eating dinner, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something and gave him a warning.

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at the two girls, then pointed at himself and asked: "...the three of us?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes...just the three of you. Let's make a documentary first and learn the process of film production..."

Each of Ah Mou's films has an audio-visual record of the birth process. Of course Shen Xudong can also come to this set...

It can be sold to audio and video companies to make money, and it can also play a role in publicity.

"Director Shen...are you going to admit us?"

"What's wrong? Are you wronged by being my assistant?" After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Remember to sign the contract and the confidentiality agreement!"

"No... I'm just surprised... confidentiality agreement?"

"literal meaning…"

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Shen Xudong said again: "I know that you all have the dream of being a director. But for those who enter this circle and want to become directors, few are willing to serve as someone else's assistant permanently, as long as there is a suitable opportunity. , will definitely go solo... I won't stop you, the time is right, and if you want to be a director, I won't stop you..." After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "But not now!"

“…Thank you, Mr. Shen!”×3

"Eat first...after you finish eating, you can go find Chen Xi!"

The three of them immediately lowered their heads to grab their lunch—box lunch!

Shen Xudong himself eats lunch boxes.

He doesn't do anything special. Today's crews, at least in movie crews, rarely have people who are third, sixth or ninth grade. Of course, pure extras will definitely not be able to earn as much as the leading actors.

Su Lun interjected: "Director Shen, I remember you said before that you won't be making movies for the time being. Why do you want to be the director yourself this time?"

"...I'm so angry at a bunch of idiots, as if I don't know how to make movies without being a director...I have to go off and direct a movie myself!"

Guo Fan also asked: "What do you think is the most important thing about being a director?"

"...Aesthetics also have logic... For people with good aesthetics, even if there are problems with logic, the whole drama will not be ugly. Logic is more important. If a drama has no logic, it will definitely be a bad drama!"

Yin Ruoxin also joined in and asked: "But I heard many people say it's about the funds and the creative team?"

"...The problem of funding is easy to solve. The current film environment is very good. As long as your film is valued and investors are not stupid, they will definitely be willing to invest... As for the creative team, I think it depends on the director's charisma..."

Guo Fan took a note and wrote it down. While writing it down, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Shen Xudong also gave some advice: "A new director must know what he wants during the early preparations. If you want to take the film festival route, you have to know what kind of themes China likes to watch at international film festivals...

If you want to take the commercial route, you have to have a good understanding of the market...Don't even think that you can have the best of both worlds. Many of our novice directors receive academic education and regard themselves as artists or masters. They don't even understand the basic mechanisms of the market. I don’t understand. When I am creating, I wishfully express myself, but I cannot take the film festival route. In the commercial market, I will definitely die. "

"The film market is very cruel. The more mature the film market, the more cruel it is. Hollywood has three strikes and you are out. As long as you fail three times in a row, it will be difficult to gain the trust of producers!"

Shen Xudong answered almost every question asked by these rookies...

I don’t want to teach anything, I just enjoy the pleasure of teaching others.

What a good teacher!
