097 He will end up standing here
In the entertainment industry, brokerage companies exploit artists in various ways and sign unequal treaties for artists, but why do artists still rely on brokerage companies?
The answer is resources.
In this parallel world, there is no concept of a celebrity studio. Even the great golden actress like Zhai Qing is still tied to Huaying Media.
Because once artists leave the film company, they will lack resources and even less protective umbrellas.
Why should an artist who decides to work alone get a movie contract and sign an advertising endorsement? There are so many agents in the entertainment industry who are backed by the backstage, so how can you win over others?
Even if you can get resources, how do you make sure that the other party won’t cheat you?
If you encounter a bad move by an artist on you, how do you deal with it?
If there is a capital party that wants to unspoken rules for you, how can you resist?
But the brokerage companies will solve these hidden dangers for you.
So people like Wei Xun who have their own traffic and are not short of endorsements, and who can also be a screenwriter, director, and actor who want to work alone, actually have to face many difficulties.
First of all, you have to build a team in your movie, rent a venue to shoot, and after the filming, you have to go through editing, get a dragon logo, and after a movie is really made, you have to consider the issue of distribution.
Behind Chitang is Guanchi Group as its backer, and it can launch "The Story of Time" in minutes to drive the marketing of "Chinese Partners".
Then what does Wei Xun have?
How did the movies he produced be released? There was no attention and no tear on the theaters to schedule films. Why did he compete with other entertainment giants for the box office market?
Furthermore, it’s like the Shanghai Film Festival. Without the connections in the circle, people won’t take you to play.
If Wei Xun chose to join any party of Huaying Media, Times Film and Television or even Guanchi Group today, then his name will definitely be on the nomination list for the Shanghai Film Festival.
This is the difference between joining a media film and television giant and working alone.
After explaining the twists and turns, Wei Xun looked at Mao Bin and asked, "So, can you accept this reason?"
The expression on Mao Bin's face was stiff and he didn't say anything.
Wei Xun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then continued to lower his head to brush the list of winners.
On the Shanghai Film Festival nomination list, Wei Xun's grains were not won.
Although many netizens expressed regret, no one except fans really struggled or questioned anything.
After all, with Wei Xun's current strength, he still does not have the ability to make netizens question the degree of injustice of the Shanghai Film Festival because he failed to get the award nomination.
In early November, the 19th Shanghai Stock Exchange Film Festival was held in the Magnolia Hall in Shanghai Stock Exchange.
On the night of the opening of the film festival, thousands of media gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the hall, and countless big-name stars were invited to attend, which was very lively and star-studded.
Many netizens also watched the award ceremony through live broadcasts on the Internet.
But the most eye-catching part of the scene was the crew of "No Questions".
The actress’s best actress Zhai Qing, Jiang Duzhou, who was nominated for the Best Actor twice, and Qi Jibai, who was nominated for the Best Director, has absolutely great value.
So as soon as the three of them walked on the red carpet, they caused a burst of screams.
The online live broadcast room is also flooding the screen.
"Zhai Qing is so beautiful tonight."
"Jiang Duzhou is also very handsome. I have never watched "No Questions" but with "Forensic Chronicles", I think he can win tonight's best actor."
"Once Jiang Duzhou can win the best actor, he will be the number one player in Times Pictures."
"What a pity, Wei Xun didn't come tonight and couldn't see the handsome guy."
"There are so many nominations for "No Questions" but Wei Xun, who is the screenwriter and male star, won't get any results. If I were Wei Xun, I wouldn't want to go."
"Oh, I hope Wei Xun will continue to work hard next time. I can't force such as awards."
"But judging from the trailer released by "No Questions", Xunxun is very handsome inside, not that kind of greasy handsome, but the handsome young master of the sunny and rich family."
"Yes, I watched that trailer, too, it should be released soon, and I will go to the cinema to watch it."
When the red carpet of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Film Festival opened, Mao Bin also watched the live broadcast at Wei Xun's house.
He sat on the sofa, staring at the TV screen, expressionless throughout the whole process.
Wei Xun washed two apples in the kitchen, and after coming out, he threw one over to Mao Bin and joked: "Hey, I'm coming back to my senses, look at your face."
Mao Bin took the apple in a hurry, then took a vicious bite, and said vaguely: "If you can't get the nomination, why am I so sorry? And I don't believe that Brother Xun, you can swallow this."
Wei Xun was about to eat apples, but when he heard this, he slowly took back the apples. He was stunned for a moment and laughed and said, "I really can't swallow them."
Mao Bin's eyes lit up: "Brother Xun, what do you think?"
"What can I think."
Wei Xun walked to the window and opened the window. The temperature in Beijing in November was already very low. The sudden cold wind blew in his eyes made him squint: "I didn't open the film festival, so I don't have the final say for whom I nominated."
Mao Bin was a little disappointed when he heard this.
At this time, the award ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival on TV came to an end, and Zhai Qing won the title of Best Actress with "No Questions to the West".
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Zhai Qing went on stage in a dress. She smiled and kissed the trophy in her hand. After a sincere speech, she said seriously: "I have to thank a very talented young man for being able to win this movie queen trophy. He didn't come tonight, but I believe that one day in the future, he will eventually stand here."
After saying this, the stars on the scene looked different.
There was also a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Because although Zhai Qing didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that she was talking about Wei Xun.
Wei Xun stood by the window, listened quietly to Zhai Qing’s speech, and then smiled and said, “I will indeed stand there, right where she is standing now. Do you believe it?”
Mao Bin said without any hesitation: "I believe it."
Even though Wei Xun had explained to him before, because they worked alone, the road they had to take next will be very, very difficult.
But difficulties do not mean that the road is blocked.
The road that few people take, once you go out, it is the road to heaven.
"In this circle, movies are the foundation of everything. I can write, direct and star in it myself. There is really no need to be controlled by the film company."
"I don't have the ability to issue it, so I'll find a cooperative channel for issuance."
"If there is no theater chain to support me, then I will build the theater chain myself."
"If there is no film festival that I am willing to take me to play, then I will use my works to smash them one by one. If this can't be broken, I might as well start a film festival and play them myself."
"These breaking rules are dead, but I am alive."
"I brought Huaying Media, Times Pictures and Guanchi Group to the market and invested in the two movies "Chinese Partners" and "No Questions West and East". Is it just because I need them to help me fight the pressure from Tianguang and the Dynasty?"
Wei Xun's eyes were bright at the moment, because they were close to the window and the temperature was too low. He was breathless when he spoke: "I seized power on the sets of these two movies. Follow these three major companies, from the beginning to the editing, review, distribution and final release, following the old paths they have taken, and then open up their own paths. Who dares to say that I cannot become a giant in the film industry in the future?"
After listening to Wei Xun's remarks quietly, Mao Bin swallowed with difficulty and spitted: "Will you... think a little too long?"
"What you said does make sense." Wei Xun agreed after hearing this: "Then let's slow down first and do the things in front of you."
Mao Bin looked confused: "What's going on in front of him?"
Wei Xun smiled and said, ""No Questions on the West" is about to be released, and it's time to teach Tianguang Media how to be a human being."
The lawsuit failed in August, and Tianguang refused to accept it and applied for a second appeal.
Since that's the case, let's sank his two movies until they're overwhelmed them.
On December 21, the movie "No Questions to the West" invested by Huaying Media, Times Pictures and Wei Xun was released, and it encountered the movie "The Story of the Thief" invested by Tianguang Media.
The last Christmas box office battle at the end of the year officially kicked off.
