In this world of ghost stories, perhaps aborigines from other professions have no way of knowing how much start-up capital the person in charge will give to the director.
But people who are also directors must know that the more powerful a director is, the more he understands these things.
Zhang Yangqing waited here for a long time just to wait for the director who wore the same hat as himself.
The director's face is gently wrapped by a thick beard. This beard is not messy, but carefully trimmed. Each strand reveals the owner's extraordinary taste and artist's temperament.
His appearance reminded Zhang Yangqing of an old saying, 'a hairless mouth means a weak workmanship'.
Indeed, judging from the director's attire, he doesn't look like a novice.
The receptionist could tell at a glance that he was new here, and he probably observed this.
The bearded director has a slightly rounded figure, but when he gestures and delivers speeches, his confidence and passion are like a magnetic field, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
He was not talking to Zhang Yangqing. There was a young and beautiful actress standing next to the bearded director.
The actress's figure is as graceful as a willow branch swaying in the wind, and every little movement exudes endless elegance and charm.
The slender waist is even more feminine under the tight-fitting dress.
Her appearance is even more impeccable, her delicate facial features are as three-dimensional as sculptures, and her eyes are as bright as stars.
The bright red on her lips made her look even more charming.
Although not as good as the female star Zhang Yangqing just met, she is still very beautiful.
The two people seemed to be talking about the next scene to be filmed. The bearded director was talking non-stop, and the beautiful actress was listening carefully.
Seeing this, the audience realized that Zhang Tianshi wanted to get information from the bearded director.
But many people don’t understand how Zhang Tianshi came up with the idea that there is no clue that he can meet fellow directors here.
Hu Liuqi, who broke his leg, began to explain: Because this is a movie city, it’s not just the Chosen Ones who have to film, and don’t forget Rule 4. If the Chosen Ones go to occupy what others want in advance, Maybe you can get some information about the filming location.
Hu Liuqi was extra serious today, because he was originally going to go with Zhang Yangqing, but because of his own leg delay, he could only analyze it like crazy in front of the big screen.
But it is true, but it is only theoretical.
Because the bearded director was talking to the beautiful actress about character creation and did not reveal too much plot information, Zhang Yangqing did not know where they needed to rent for filming.
The bearded director was going to the 30th floor. When he took the actress out, Zhang Yangqing also walked out.
When he came to the door of the person in charge of the film company, the bearded director glanced at Zhang Yangqing, his expression seemed to say: Do you want to go in first?
I have to say that the bearded director is quite polite.
Because he was walking in front, Zhang Yangqing made a 'please' gesture and asked him to go in first.
The bearded director nodded and walked into the room with the beautiful actress.
This scene was incomprehensible to the audience, because they felt that Zhang Yangqing would definitely ask the director for information, but Zhang Yangqing never said a word from beginning to end.
Did Zhang Tianshi have other motives for doing this?
In fact, the audience thought wrong. Zhang Yangqing had already obtained the information he wanted.
As a new director with no experience, if he directly asked for information, then according to the rules of the Kaitan world, the bearded director would ask him to complete the task, and maybe ask for something.
Otherwise, how could he have given Zhang Yangqing information in vain.
So Zhang Yangqing can only observe.
What needs to be observed here must be the directors who come in from the 1st floor and walk to the 30th floor.
Because most of these directors come to ask for start-up funds from the person in charge.
As for how they obtained the start-up capital, isn't it already obvious?
It’s not the costume or the temperament, it’s the fact that there are outstanding actors around me.
The person in charge of the film company estimates that the initial funding will be provided through the comprehensive strength of the director and main actors.
This is the hidden rule that Zhang Yangqing observed. Otherwise, why would the bearded director take the actress to the head of the film company. Thinking of this, Zhang Yangqing went downstairs to contact some actors.
This is not difficult to find. There are many actors in the lobby and corridor on the first floor.
Zhang Yangqing observed that outstanding actors will have agents and bodyguards around them, which is a symbol of status.
Ordinary actors are more polite when they see the director.
After a rough understanding, these actors also have so-called levels.
They are first-line actors, second-line actors, third-line actors and supporting actors.
A first-line actor is like the glamorous actress Zhang Yangqing met when he first entered the film company.
To be awarded the title of first-line actress, one must have three works with a score of 80 and be the leading actor and actress in the movie.
The appearance fees for this type of actors are very high, and most directors cannot afford them.
To have such a work is enough to illustrate their acting skills and strength.
The second-tier actors are the kind of actresses who surround the bearded director.
This type of actor is required to have three works with a score of 70 points, and they must also be the male and female protagonists in the movie.
Relatively speaking, they will look for some more powerful directors and find ways to break through 80 points.
As long as third-tier actors have three works that reach 60 points, they still have to be the male and female protagonists in the movie.
The so-called supporting actors do not have so many requirements. Many of them have never even acted before. Like the chosen ones, they have just come here to report.
After hearing this information, Zhang Yangqing understood the general structure of this strange story.
The goal of a supporting actor is to become a first-line actor, but under normal circumstances they cannot be the leading actor.
So the best way is to kill the leading actors, so that they will become the leading actors in the movie while their roles remain unchanged.
For example, in the filming scene that the Chosen One encountered at the beginning, the actor who played the neighbor's murderer killed other characters.
Then this plot, which was supposed to be a movie about bringing the murderer to justice, became a documentary about the murderer.
With the clues here, Zhang Yangqing suddenly understood something.
No wonder in the movie "Country Love: The Love of She-Monsters", at the end, the male protagonist did not go to practice, but to take the exam to become an official.
Probably the director designed it this way because he was afraid that the male protagonist would be beaten to death by the villain.
Or maybe the male protagonist found out that the supporting character wanted to kill him and then take over, so he changed the script himself.
In any case, judging from the results, this movie was very successful.
When contacting these actors, they needed Zhang Yangqing to provide information about his masterpieces.
When they heard that Zhang Yangqing was a director without any works, almost all the actors showed little interest in him.
Zhang Yangqing estimates that some rules for actors are similar to those for directors.
For example, if a director’s work scores less than 50 points, he will die directly.
Actors are also estimated to have an assessment, and if their scores fall below a certain point, they will die directly.
So any actor who is somewhat famous will not discuss cooperation with a director like The Chosen One who has no masterpieces.
If I meet a bad director, wouldn’t I be killed?
Only a supporting actor may bet his face, or in other words, his life, with the chosen one.
