Chapter 2 Script
After being reborn, you plunge into the entertainment industry. It seems like you have a problem with your head?
Punching small ponies and kicking Thunder Monkey King, isn’t it delicious?
The next ten years or so will be the time for the upstarts of the Internet to take the stage. It is now 2004. Although it is a bit late, it is not too late.
Especially Rebus, who is still at Jinshan right now. It has been 6 years since he founded Xiaomi in 2010, and he hasn’t even started playing monkey yet.
"It's a beautiful idea."
Wang Shu rubbed his head and felt that he probably didn't have that ability. The great thing was to get the capital and invest it with the advantage of foresight.
In 2003, Jack Ma’s Taobao was already online, and Xiao Ma’s QQ was earlier. He will wait until he has accumulated enough original capital with the only two thousand yuan he has on hand before he sets foot in electronics. In the two fields of business and instant messaging, the day lily is cold.
All he can do is to find ways to accumulate capital quickly, and then wait until the 4G network era is about to come to find a team to build Douyin, or wait until Taobao is booming to build Pinxixi .
Of course, if you have money, you can also invest in mobile phones, new energy vehicles, etc.
"The entertainment industry is not easy either."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, it's hard to move forward."
Wang Shu held his head and thought deeply.
“It’s June 2004, and the highest box office of a domestic commercial film is only over 100 million.”
“Right now, it’s still an era for award-winning films to have the right to speak.”
"If you can make an award-winning film"
"As long as you can win an award at any of the three major European film festivals, you will have a lot of aura when you return to China and no one will come to you to invest."
“With investment, you can give full play to your own advantages and accumulate capital.”
Wang Shu thought for a while and found that he had no other strengths except directing plays and delivering food.
Meituan and Ele.me haven’t appeared these days, so he can’t deliver food.
The only thing he can excel at is the skill of directing
Back before 2004, he worked hard in order to be able to direct a good show.
Not having a professional background, and being unable to make it in the capital, he went to Hengdian to continue pursuing his dream of becoming a star
Both acting as a sidekick and doing odd jobs on the set, his dream of becoming an actor’s star made little progress, and instead he became a star. The crew on the set.
After that, I came into contact with the director and slowly explored on my own.
I came up with a method to use the storyboard content of the script and the corresponding film and television works to understand the shooting techniques.
Over a long period of time, the director's skills have not improved much, but he has read a lot of scripts of well-known and unknown film and television works, so that he can derive the corresponding script content through the film and television works
And this is also his advantage when he wakes up and returns to 2004.
So, he set his sights on the three major European players.
Because this is one of the few ways to prove professional strength in this era.
Moreover, you only need to complete the filming and production of the video to participate.
Even if you are an independent filmmaker.
Even if you don’t have any personal connections, you can still sign up on your own.
Compared with accumulating contacts in China step by step and slowly getting ahead, this is the simplest, most direct and direct way to get ahead quickly.
Wang Shu thought about it, but could not figure out how to make the first pot of gold.
He entered the society right after graduating from junior high school. Even if he had been in the entertainment industry for many years before he was reborn, he had only learned how to direct and speak broken English.
My starting point was too low, and I spent my whole life just wandering around in the entertainment industry. Most of what I learned and knew were chores related to the entertainment industry.
“If it doesn’t work, write a script and give it to the film and television company.”
“If you can get them to invest in you”
“Although the probability of being chosen is a bit Low, but you have to try, right?”
Wang Shu consciously couldn't think of a better way, so he decided to pay attention.
“Just do it!”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Shu spent three days polishing a script, and then registered the copyright. It took almost a week to come and go.
On this day, Wang Shu walked out of the room excitedly and expectantly with a script containing only a summary of the story and biographies of the characters.
It's not that he doesn't want to hold the complete script, but he is worried that it will be plagiarized even if the copyright is registered.
Get on the bus, get off the bus.
Wang Shu looked at the China Film and Television Building in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked in straight.
"You said you have a good script and want to meet the producer of our company?" The little girl at the front desk looked at him like a fool.
"My script is really good, it's definitely something epoch-making." Wang Shu worked hard to promote his script.
The girl at the front desk scratched her ears and said slowly: "I haven't heard you say a thousand words here, but there are also eight hundred."
"." These words, Wang Shu fell silent.
The girl at the front desk was kind-hearted and seemed to see Wang Shu’s reluctance, and then said: "To tell you the truth, our company has no shortage of screenwriters, no shortage of contracted screenwriters, and no shortage of scripts submitted to attract investment. "
"Don't say that you are just a newcomer without any fame. You can tell that the scripts you write are not good even if you don't read them. Just say that those old people who are very famous in the industry write them. Hasn’t his script been rejected yet?”
"Look at the door. Do you see those old people walking in?" The girl at the front desk pursed her lips towards the door.
Wang Shu looked around and saw five or six energetic old people.
Just listen to the girl at the front desk say again, "They are all well-known old people in the industry, and they have not been turned away by Mr. Han right now."
"During this period, they I came to Mr. Han every day with the script, and Mr. Han was annoyed when he saw them."
"." Wang Shu became even more silent.
These people have been dealing with award-winning films all their lives. They are all well-established seniors in the industry and can directly talk to Han Sanping.
The girl at the front desk glanced at Wang Shu and asked, "Now, do you still want to submit the script?"
"I can tell you, I can help you submit the script to the producer. Over there, but it will most likely be lost in the end.”
“If you still want to hand it over, I’ll hand it over for you.”
“No need.” Wang Shu is self-aware. Keep pushing.
Walking out of the China Film and Television Building, facing the scorching sun, Wang Shu took a deep breath.
China Film is a state-owned enterprise, which is different from private companies. He may have come to the wrong place.
He was not discouraged and went to Huayi Building.
However, the situation encountered when arriving at Huayi was roughly similar to that at China Film.
Although there are no old men and women blocking the door in Huayi, the company's general direction is towards commercial films, and it is currently working hard to produce "A World Without Thieves".
Moreover, Huayijia has a great cause and treats unknown newcomers like Wang Shu the same as China Film.
You can submit your script here. No one is sure whether it will be thrown into the trash can without being reviewed.
Therefore, Wang Shu returned without success again. .
A leading state-owned enterprise and a leading private enterprise. Without connections, it is not possible for a newcomer like him to succeed.
Let go of your extravagant hopes and face reality.
“I thought private companies in this era were different from state-owned companies, but I didn’t expect”
“Alas.”
“I can only consider other smaller private companies.”
Wang Shu sighed. He had experienced a lot before going back to 2004, and he had already anticipated the situations he would encounter.
If there was no other way, who would not give up?
"Enlight Media is still mainly engaged in the production of TV series. It will not start transitioning into the field of film distribution until next year. There is no need to consider this."
"Right now."
"Only Xingze International is considered a A good choice"
