Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Ninth You Go, You Go

Body Chapter 549

Even if you don't get a heavyweight award, you can boast about yourself, saying that you have entered a competition unit, been praised by so-and-so judges, and loved by the audience of the film festival... Anyway, you don't need to pay taxes for bragging.

Then find some self-media and some film critics to brag about it, to stir up the heat, so that potential audiences feel that if they don’t watch this movie, they will simply miss a year’s event in the film industry.

Sell ​​copyrights all over the world.

Before the official release, sell the copyrights of some regions for some blood.

Then wait until the official release, and the box office is bleak as expected.

But Shu Yihuan would not be affected.

Shu Yihuan also has something to say.

You gave me a semi-finished product for the Wudang building complex I wanted, and it failed.

I want 200 million for the filming, but you only gave 150 million, which is too hard.

The final cut right is not given to me, the box office is not good, can you blame me!

I used to make movies, what are the conditions!

The conditions you have given are not sufficient, and it is difficult for me to cook without rice!

When the movie screening ended, because the box office was too bleak, and the media criticized Shu Yihuan.

Then Shu Yihuan cut another "director's cut" version and made a DVD for sale or paid for it online.

Investors will not block it, because it can return a little blood.

And this move might really allow Shu Yihuan to reverse his reputation.

After all, experimental films may discourage many ordinary audiences from being too hardcore, too literary, too obscure, etc.

But for some senior movie fans, hardcore movie fans, people who watch movies very carefully, or in the eyes of people who understand movies, it is still very attractive.

Investors invite people to edit the film and try to make the film more commercial, which often loses the essence of this experimental film, and cannot turn such an experimental film into a commercial blockbuster like magic. Often it will make both ends unpleasant.

And Shu Yihuan's re-edited director's cut version at least pleases veteran and hardcore fans.

Then public opinion reversed.

People will start denouncing a few companies that are investors.

As for Shu Yihuan, he practiced his hands, gained experience, satisfied his feelings, and earned all the money he should have earned, and his reputation was not affected.

A winner in life.

Investors don't care. As long as you can save a little money, what is it to be scolded a few times.

Being scolded will not lose meat, and shareholders will bleed when they lose money.

Instead of defending, they would say: Yes, yes, Director Shu is awesome, we did something wrong, Director Shu's "Director's Cut" is the complete form of the film, it's so beautiful, everyone, come and buy the DVD Favorites!

Du Caige felt that if he didn't do something, things would probably develop like this.

But what can I do?

After Xu Qingya left, he was still thinking about this issue.

In the end, he just picked up the phone and found a few people to communicate with.

Including Yan Yingzhen, Duan Xiaochen, Gu Yinan, etc., he explained the situation in great detail.

How things will develop next, he really has no clue.

This feeling of being completely out of control of the situation drove him a little crazy.

But in the next few days, he still tried to control his temper and do things carefully.

A person's self-cultivation does not depend on how he behaves when things are going well.

It's about his performance in the face of adversity.

Du Caige is not that kind of big heart.

But the more he is in adversity, the more he will pay attention to his words and deeds, and will not allow himself to do things that he will regret under the impetus of negative emotions.

The weather is getting hotter and the cost of the crew is increasing every day.

In a blink of an eye, half of July has passed.

Du Caige was invited back by Gu Yinan and had a small meeting.

Not only people from Dreams and Mutual Entertainment, but also the heads of Jiutian Media and Dahua Zitian on the "Wudang" project were present.

Everyone wants to hear Du Caige's opinion face to face.

Du Caige didn't add fuel to the fire, and tried his best to express his judgment in plain language: Director Shu Yihuan should be shooting an experimental film, not his traditional style; this film is likely to be liked by filmmakers, but not to the audience. It may not be friendly enough, and the box office is difficult to guarantee; the filming cycle of the film will increase several times, and the cost will also increase several times.

After listening to Du Caige's narration, everyone's faces were a little ugly.

After they pressed for some details, they did not come to a conclusion on the spot.

Du Caige knew that there was no airtight wall in the world, and what he said at this meeting would definitely reach Shu Yihuan's ears.

And this will definitely cause Shu Yihuan's personal relationship with himself to take a turn for the worse.

But Du Caige had no other choice.

As a filmmaker, he thinks Shu Yihuan's films are very interesting, and he has the courage to make experimental films.

But as an investor, the gold master's father, he can only show a yellow card to Shu Yihuan ruthlessly.

After returning to the set, everything seemed to be business as usual.

But soon, Du Caige found that the media was full of headlines: "Shocked, Hemingway treated Shu Yihuan like this", "The two famous directors finally broke up", "Hemingway: Shu Yihuan, you don't understand movies" and other titles.

When I clicked on it, most of the words in it were made up, and there were also some words he said at the meeting, but they were quoted out of context, or they used the Dafa method of connecting flowers and trees.

For example, "Hemingway said that Shu Yihuan's film will definitely fail at the box office, and everyone should be prepared for this."

"Hemingway felt that Shu Yihuan was not suitable to continue directing this film."

"Shu Yihuan was too focused on improving the film, which resulted in the actual expenditure exceeding the budget and requiring additional investment. Hemingway was furious at this, believing that the cost of the film would be too high and it would be difficult to recover the investment, so he proposed that Shu Yihuan be re-invested. Replace it and find another experienced director to save the scene."

As a result, after seeing these articles, most of the people who do not know the truth will be disgusted with Du Caige and feel that Du Caige has done too much.

Du Caige could obviously feel that the look of the crew members was wrong.

As for Shu Yihuan, I haven't spoken to him for a while, and I haven't asked him to shoot some clips.

The director and assistant director are supposed to be the people who communicate the most on the set, but they don't even make eye contact now.

At this time, several investors asked Shu Yihuan to go back and communicate face-to-face to discuss additional investment.

For such an important matter, video conferencing is still a little less interesting.

Shu Yihuan asked another assistant director to continue shooting, and he himself rushed back to the magic city to attend the meeting.

In fact, Du Caige will also return to the magic capital, and he will also participate in this meeting.

But Shu Yihuan just didn't go with Du Caige.

It was obvious that the two of them booked the same high-speed rail ticket.

Still in the same car.

But they just take different means of transportation to the high-speed rail station.

They didn't say a word until the high-speed rail stopped at Modu.

When he arrived at the meeting venue, Shu Yihuan seemed to have just glanced at Du Caige and nodded at him with a smile: "Director Du is here too."

"Yeah," Du Caige said coldly, "Has Director Shu already figured out how to respond to the question?"

"Question?" Shu Yihuan looked surprised, "Why didn't I know I was going to be questioned today? Is there still this procedure at the meeting?"

Du Caige said, "Oh, then I'll tell you now."

Shu Yi laughed and laughed: "Who will question me?"

"I."

Shu Yihuan's smile disappeared, and he looked at Du Caige seriously and said, "Director Du, don't blame me for speaking straight. Do you think you are qualified to question me?"

"I am questioning you as an investor, not as an assistant director, Director Shu, please clarify this point. I invested a lot of money in making movies for you, and I wanted to make money, not for you to make them. Some inexplicable things are practiced."

Shu Yihuan stabbed lightly: "It's normal that Director Du doesn't understand my films, after all, the levels are different. But if you say that what I've filmed is inexplicable, that's too much. Take the liberty to ask, how many films does Director Du have taken? Over one billion box office?"

Du Caige sneered: "What number of films did Director Shu get at the box office?"

Shu Yihuan suffocated, and said calmly, "If you think you can do it, then you can get up, the director's chair can be handed over to you."

"That's alright, Director Shu, you put it up at the meeting and let me take over the shooting."

The corner of Shu Yihuan's mouth twitched, "Director Du is so confident? It's a pity that the confidence without actual support just makes people laugh."
