In fact, it was really not easy for these directors to get around in the early years, and they also had the courage to break the boat!

Especially the cross-border directors!

Gao Yushu studied journalism. After graduation, he became a reporter. He had a lot of news about murder cases, so he called screenwriter Chen Yuxin, and the two collaborated on "Thirteen Murder Cases" and "Conquer".

They found the funds for the filming themselves...

Yes, it only cost seven figures to make a TV series back then, but how much were house prices back then?

"Conquer" became famous in one fell swoop - "Conquer" was first broadcast on Nanjing TV during prime time, and became a hit. The ratings even surpassed Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...

After that, Gao Yushu filmed "Tokyo Trial", "The Wind", and "Detective Hunter Zhang". For "Detective Hunter Zhang", he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. After winning the award, he felt that he was already a first-line famous director...

The seniors are somewhat temperamental and like to point fingers at the juniors.

He looks down on Shen Changlin and Ning Hao.

To put it bluntly, he looks down on Chinese commercial movies. Well, in fact, he can't stand Hollywood commercial movies either. Back then, he criticized "Inception" and said, "I can't understand it and I don't like it either." Not a normal piece!'

The problem is, he can’t make commercial films himself!

Whether it is "A Romantic Affair" or "Happy New Year", including the subsequent "Love", they are all bad movies...

Don't talk about him anymore.

Lao Guo said another thing: "Huayi gave up the Spring Festival stalls this year and focused on the Valentine's Day stalls..."

""Running for Love"?"

"Yes..." After thinking for a while, Lao Guo whispered: "I heard that Wanda is planning to educate Hua Yi and suppress their film schedule!"

Shen Changlin was surprised: "Oh? Is this the beginning?"

"You know?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "The Huang brothers poached Ye Nian. Ye Nian is Wanda's big distributor and producer. He almost single-handedly built the framework of Wanda Pictures..."

Ye Nian is not the 'little wall guy' that pants say...

The film industry is different from other industries. He recognizes people. Ye Nian has the qualifications and ability to convince everyone. He can attract resources from different companies and put them together to do things. To put it bluntly, he is the big brother who takes the lead. It can leverage the integration of distribution resources.

Pants quarreled with Wang Jianlin, and later Wang Shicong went to war on behalf of his father and mentioned the non-compete agreement...

In fact, with talent so scarce, the film industry cannot talk about "competition agreements."

The film industry is not big, and the industry has just started, and it is still a small country. Shen Changlin doesn’t think that it is 100% ok to talk about business!

Their company also recruits people from other companies!

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "If Huayi poaches you, I will also fight against them!"

"...Thank you, what if it's Wanda?"

"Then block Wanda Cinema...I can't do it!"

…

By the way, Huayi was really arrogant at that time, especially in 2010, the first year after its listing, it released three blockbusters in succession: "Tangshan Earthquake", "If You Are the One 2", and "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven". There is no pressure at all.

Later there were "New Shaolin Temple", "Starry Sky", "Happy Magic"...

Not to mention a $15 million investment!

In 2012, there were five major productions including "Reverse War", the two-part "Tai Chi", "1942", and "Zodiac"...

Not to mention the box office performance, the courage alone is really awesome!

It did what an industry leader should do.

It's a pity that Wanda has boycotted him now. What's even more depressing is that even after Tong Tong posted on Weibo to seek justice, not many netizens stood up for him...

What Lao Guo said reminded Shen Changlin to open up a track quickly.

Actively embrace streaming media.

…

At home, Shi Shi was discussing recruiting new people with her agent Ning Ran, who is also a studio partner.

Four old people are playing mahjong downstairs...

Shen Changlin didn't know much about mahjong, so he simply went upstairs to accompany the guests...

Just scrolling through Weibo and eating melons...

The Spring Festival is approaching, and this year is the Year of the Monkey. Netizens are all angry, ‘My Monkey King didn’t receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala’?

On the contrary, it is a bunch of young people and traffickers who dominate this year's Spring Festival Gala...

In the 2016 Spring Festival Gala, there were actually not many fresh faces who showed up, only Ma Weiyu and Yang Yang!

Next year will be the meat gathering!

In the past, the Spring Festival Gala was a stage for talented contestants and artists of the older generation. The voice of the masses was: the Spring Festival Gala is too aging, out of touch with the new generation of youth, and young people do not like to watch it - calling for reform of the Spring Festival Gala;

After the reform of the Spring Festival Gala, people are now asking: There are so many old artists in China who are talented in both virtue and art, why are the Spring Festival Gala stages filled with hyped celebrities?

Alas, it’s hard to agree with everyone~

To be honest, if he were the director of the Spring Festival Gala, he wouldn't be able to create a perfect stage!

There are too many restrictions...

In fact, there is only one criterion for the audience to evaluate whether the Spring Festival Gala is good or not: whether there are good sketches or cross talk in that Spring Festival Gala. If there are good sketches or cross talk, the Spring Festival Gala is good; if not, it is a failure!

Unfortunately, since the Spring Festival Gala in 2016, there have been no more refreshing works.

While he was watching netizens' complaints, Shi Shi suddenly asked: "Chang Lin, what do you think?"

"What do I think?"

"We want to recruit a few more actors..."

"Don't come here. Qin Lan's talk about Qing Zi isn't enough for you?"

Shi Shi explained: "I want to sign someone younger, born in the 1990s..."

Shen Changlin thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, most famous people have been booked by various companies. If you want to recruit people, you have to pay liquidated damages. This is very taboo in the industry. If word spreads, the reputation will not be good."

"We know!" Ning Ran answered: "So I thought of two ways. One is to find new people and we will train them ourselves. The other is to find new people from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We only sign contracts with the mainland..."

"From Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

Ning Ran nodded: "There is a person named Wang Jiaer, I think he has a good image..."

Of course Wang Jiaer and Shen Changlin know...

But he is a singer, forget it. Shen Changlin scratched his head and said: "Don't consider Hong Kong and Taiwan artists for the time being... I still recommend mainland artists."

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "What's the use of the post-90s generation? If you really want to sign, you have to sign for the post-95s or post-00s generation!"

The entertainment industry is changing at an extremely fast pace. In the past, every ten years was considered a new generation, then every five years, and now three years is considered a long time.

Almost every year, a large number of new people emerge, and the identities of these stars become increasingly blurred. Actors, singers, idols...

They are all artists after all!

Let’s just say, can these writers always catch the people who were born in 1985 and take advantage of them? The people born in the 90s are all old people...

Nowadays, those born after 2000 are the general trend!

Shi Shi heard what he said and asked decisively: "Do you know anyone?"

"Guo Fan called me a few days ago and said that the casting for "The Wandering Earth" has been completed. He has chosen a little sister. She is a real post-00s generation. She is very cute. Her name is Zhao Jingmai... You can go and see her!"

Shi Shi was surprised and looked at him: "Post-00s? Do you like it?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "...very cute and quite polite."

"If you say so, I'm interested!"

Shi Shi knew Shen Changlin very well. They were standard sister-controllers and had no idea about minors...

Since you were praised by him, it must be a malleable talent. With a little training, you will definitely become a great person!
