Chapter 206 Expectation
Xia Lin came to the company this morning, feeling a little absent-minded.
He really wanted to know what else Zhang Qingxian could say that could surprise him.
I also watched the second half of "The Wandering Earth".
Xia Lin was amazed.
He was originally a little worried that Zhang Qingxian might be better at the beginning.
It’s different going up.
After all, there are still a lot of such things!
Unexpectedly, his skills are still so stable.
Moreover, this time the battle is even more intense!
Xia Lin couldn't help but sigh.
If Zhang Qingxian can maintain this level...
He is going to become a great figure in the field of domestic science fiction!
Zhang Qingxian set about setting up a film crew.
Recruitment has begun.
First of all, the four groups, namely the production team, director team, photography team, and lighting team, are all relatively critical.
Strange to say.
No matter how many job ads Zhang Luyan sent out, she received no response.
All the news seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
"Zhang Qingxian, logically speaking, there must be many more people coming for the interview today than us!"
"Is this the end?"
Zhang Luyan glanced at the information in her hand and saw only a few people listed.
Zhang Qingxian picked up the list and scanned it carefully.
More than rare.
Most importantly, they don't have any works.
All newbies.
Zhang Qingxian also looked depressed: "Do you know them?"
Zhang Luyan shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"That's all."
After a little thought, Zhang Qingxian understood the whole story.
From an industry perspective.
Zhang Qingxian's reputation is indeed very great.
If we can work with him, it will definitely be a huge asset!
Before, everyone was suspicious of him.
He really did it!
but……
This time, it’s actually a science fiction movie!
With the previous movies, everyone was worried because he had never done it before.
This time, everyone lost confidence in this science fiction movie.
If only one movie could be successful...
Maybe they wouldn't be so extreme.
But the problem is, everyone was screwed by this science fiction movie!
After all, Zhang Qingxian is still very young.
Young and energetic.
A bit fierce!
No matter how much courage you have, you will never give up.
People in the circle are not fools.
After all, anyone who has watched a science fiction movie will be scared.
This is not a joke.
What qualifications do you have to mock me?
So, just after Zhang Qingxian’s studio issued a recruitment notice.
Everyone saw it, but no one reacted.
Why do you have to waste your time here?
It is futile.
Zhang Qingxian can win, but they can’t!
"What are we going to do next?"
Zhang Luyan frowned.
It turns out that the filming has just started!
He hit a wall.
It's like this at the beginning, no one knows what will happen next.
"I'll go see if anyone has anything I can use."
"Help me pick out a few more."
The two of them looked at each one.
Three hours passed in a flash.
Zhang Qingxian raised his hand and pressed his forehead weakly.
He sighed deeply: "Am I, Zhang Qingxian, now so destitute?"
"With his level of skills, he has the nerve to apply for a job in our company?"
"Why do they think I'd be interested in them?"
His eyes fell on the resume that Zhang Zhixian threw on the table.
Zhang Luyan smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Which big shot in the entertainment industry doesn't have his own little group and a company to back him up?"
"They are just trash."
"To be honest, you have high standards, and some people are pretty good."
Zhang Qingxian said: "Science and technology movies are different from other movies. If it were another movie, would I need so much effort?"
"Because, if you want to make an excellent work, you must have enough experience, which means that everyone must have a high level of professionalism."
"no!"
Zhang Luyan snorted. "What should I do? This is all the information I can find."
"I have some connections here and can reach out to them."
"I'm not sure they'll come, though."
"Anyway, no one in this circle would want to make a science fiction movie."
Zhang Qingxian also understood this point.
"Then tell them and see if you can succeed!"
This is also something that can't be helped.
Judging from the current situation.
It is difficult for anyone to cause trouble for you unless you take action first.
Two more days passed.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Luyan actually found a big name in the photography industry.
Lin Qin used to be the best photographer in the country.
I studied abroad for many years.
As soon as he came back, he starred in a very popular movie.
He has won various national awards.
I'm angry.
He only looks for famous directors and big production teams.
All the films he has made are masterpieces.
In recent years, he has been busy with work and running around.
His body couldn't take it anymore.
After two years of recuperation.
When she came back, she found that many talented people had emerged.
Although he has been retired for two years.
Excellent films in the industry continue to emerge.
It was not until this time that he realized that he was not irreplaceable.
He is back.
I haven't had a job in a long time.
This is not a decline in his professionalism.
Most importantly, the price he offered was too high.
This is very high for the quality of both the director and the film.
He has developed the habit of doing things slowly.
I believe that only through meticulous craftsmanship can perfection be achieved!
Today's entertainment industry is no longer what it used to be.
In this fast-paced era, filming is also effective.
It has to be done as soon as possible. If this one is not successful, then make the second one!
People like this would have been eliminated long ago.
But he never gave up.
He began looking for suitable actors and directors.
When Zhang Luyan learned the news, she found him immediately.
"Director Lin, can we have a chance to work together?
After learning that Zhang Luyan was interested in working with him, he felt something in his heart.
Lin Qin was delighted.
Zhang Qingxian's reputation is known to everyone in the entire circle.
He has watched all of Zhang Qingxian's films.
He was very impressed with the new director.
Whether it is the film techniques or the story setting.
Both of them are very sensible.
He doesn't seem calm at all like a new director.
Even him.
He also studied abroad for many years.
This is also the reason why he can do this.
And Zhang Qingxian is only in his twenties, not even 20. This is not an easy task.
No wonder people in the circle are so optimistic about him.
However, he suddenly remembered, wasn't Zhang Qingxian going to star in a science fiction movie?
Movie?
what!
Not long ago, Lin Qin was almost deceived by a domestic science fiction movie.
At that time, he had already made plans to go to China to film.
But at that time, he got an opportunity to study abroad.
So, he decided to take a trip.
And when they are overseas, in foreign movies, they see some foreign movies.
At that time, he was certain that domestic films would fail!
really……
By then, the film will be released.
No one cares.
But he still went to see it.
He looked at it and shook his head.
Compared with foreign countries, the gap is too big!
Be it the special effects or the story, they are not on the same level.
Then, he started watching domestic science fiction movies.
No one has ever done this.
This is a huge deep pit.
Therefore, when Zhang Luyan asked him this question, he was full of doubts.
If it were someone else, he would definitely refuse directly.
However, his opponent is Zhang Qingxian!
"I'm definitely looking for partners, but I'm not planning on making a sci-fi movie."
Lin Qin is not a pretentious person, and he doesn't want to be deceived.
Zhang Luyan laughed, "Director Lin, you won't be able to find her in such a short time."
"Since you have been searching for so long, why don't you discuss it with us?"
What Zhang Luyan said makes a lot of sense.
Lin Qin was indeed looking for a good partner, but he never succeeded.
Zhang Luyan took advantage of this advantage, so she was confident in negotiating with herself.
"Aren't I going to see Director Zhang?
"Besides, you won't suffer any loss if you meet with Director Zhang, right?"
A smile appeared on Lin Qin's face.
Zhang Luyan is indeed Zhang Qingxian's best helper.
In today's entertainment industry, it is almost impossible to meet Zhang Qingxian!
As long as they can have some connection with him, they will not refuse.
"okay, I get it!"
Just as Zhang Luyan said.
Meeting Zhang Qingxian would not harm him.
How could he miss such a good opportunity?
...
Zhang Qingxian's recording studio, 2pm.
"I've heard of you!"
Zhang Qingxian is telling the truth.
Lin Qin is a very famous figure in the film and television industry.
But he hasn't made many movies in the past two years.
"Director Zhang, nice to meet you!"
"Call me Lin Qin!"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then got straight to the point.
"Lin Qin, I'm filming a science fiction movie these days. I wonder if I can shoot with you?"
Lin Qin said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Director Zhang, to be honest, my career has come to an end."
"That's why I need a good movie to get myself back on my feet."
“But who are the people in your movie?”
Lin Qin didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhang Qingxian understood what he meant.
“In fact, people didn’t have high hopes for this movie.”
"Well, I won't rush you. I'll give you two copies later and you can read them yourself."
Lin Qin asked curiously, "Why am I here?"
"I'm going to shoot a science fiction movie called The Wandering Earth."
"You take a look first and then talk."
Lin Qin responded and picked up the book.
This is Zhang Qingxian’s compromise.
After all, Zhang Qingxian did not embarrass him.
He only needs to see what he wants and then he can just say no.
"Lin Qin, to put it bluntly, given your current situation, it will be difficult to find someone who can work with you."
Lin Qin didn't care much about what Zhang Qingxian said.
This is a fact.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone several months without any new works.
Lin Qin sighed: "The entertainment industry has changed so much!"
"I've also seen a few of your previous dramas, and I think you're quite suitable."
Lin Qin didn't think Zhang Qingxian was flattering him.
He saw the film directed by Zhang Qingxian.
He is a man of great vision.
So does he.
Unless Chang Ching-hsien is making something other than a science film.
At that time, he will immediately join Zhang Qingxian's company.
"Director Zhang, aren't you acting in a science fiction movie?"
"Do you understand?"
Zhang Qingxian nodded repeatedly: "Do I need to ask this?"
Lin Qin quickly said, "No, I don't think you understand at all. If you understand, you wouldn't go to film."
“No one has ever made a science fiction movie.”
Zhang Qingxian said in a deep voice: "Why do you think I can't do it?"
Lin Qin: “…”
These people have put all their energy into science fiction movies.
He used to think so too.
No one can do it, so why can't I?
What if you don’t try?
"I understand that if a movie fails, it won't have any impact on me."
"You missed a great opportunity, though."
"That's why I can't force you."
"You just need to go home and read the book once, and contact me if you think it's suitable."
Seeing that he had said so, Lin Qin did not say anything more.
...
half a month later.
After the release of "Crazy Stone", the audience dispersed one after another.
Total score: 7.7 million!
Although this number is not as high as Zhang Qingxian's previous two directorial films.
The film's box office performance was not the best among comedy films.
However, from the perspective of investment, this is undoubtedly the biggest dark horse!
"Director Zhang, the statistics are ready. 7.7 million!"
Although Chen Wei knew that Zhang Qingxian was busy with work, he had no choice but to dial the other party's number.
Zhang Qingxian laughed, "Director Chen seems to be very satisfied with the box office of this movie!"
"Director Zhang, please stop making fun of me. If it weren't for your play, I wouldn't have achieved the results I have now."
Zhang Qingxian did not refute.
The film works entirely because of its script.
When the film's results were announced, all the reporters would exclaim like this.
“Let’s not talk about Zhang Qingxian’s acting skills, just the ability of Zhang Qingxian as a screenwriter is amazing!
"I still remember that Zhang Qingxian told me that this film could earn 500 million yuan, and was ridiculed by many people. I don't know if they were slapped in the face."
“No one would believe that a comedy movie worth 7 billion only required an investment of 10 million.”
“This is simply an example of a small production that can make a lot of money!”
...
When Lin Qin returned home, he didn't think about reading those two journals.
He had already thought about the cooperation requirements proposed by Zhang Qingxian.
In China, he has read a lot of science fiction novels.
There are some outstanding ones, but they are all made in China.
Before going to bed at night.
He saw a magazine scattered around.
He looked at it.
I didn't know I would get into the role right from the beginning.
After he flipped through the book, he suddenly understood.
