Chapter 477 The Best Commercial Director(1/2)
To put it bluntly, Lin Ping even feels that from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.
Many filmmakers are not even as good as some of the vulgar hands in later generations, and the authors on some music software are more respectful.
Many works from this period are so bad that they are unimaginable.
During this period, although many works were filmed and edited and released within 7 days, they also achieved good box office records and even became a common legend in later generations.
But success like this can be counted with one hand.
Most of the works shot by small film companies are almost not even considered cannon fodder.
There are even some film companies that if they don’t play the edge, they may not even be able to recover the cost.
These companies are frantically gathering in late-night venues to circle the box office with a curious mentality.
"You said that so many people are worth 10 million, 8 million, 5 million, so from your perspective, how much do you think I am worth?
Let me introduce it. My name is Wang Jing. I am a director and a screenwriter!
I’m not a talent. I just filmed my first movie in my life last year, "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Bas", and finally won a box office of 5.08 million, ranking 6th last year!" Wang Jing introduced without blushing.
Listening to such a shameless introduction, it is in line with his personality.
Lin Ping took the initiative to step forward and walked to Fatty Wang, but Fatty Wang had not yet appeared at this moment.
“I’ve seen this movie of you, you’re very talented.
If the most valuable person in the audience before was Brother Fa, now you are the most valuable man in the audience.
If you can make a movie with peace of mind, you will become the box office benchmark for Asian movies within ten years.
Any Asian filmmaker can only look up to your success!" Lin Ping did not say the price, but just said a peak that was unattainable.
Everyone at the scene heard such nonsense, and everyone thought that this person must be crazy.
Although this little fat man has achieved brilliant achievements in his first work, it is common legend in the industry that this little fat man has just written a pretty good script.
Most directors' live work is actually guided by his father.
After the film was finally completed, only his name was written on it.
If it happens among strangers, such things will inevitably cause storms.
But this person is his father, so there is no such thing as a father. He doesn't want his son to make a name for himself.
Even if you step on your shoulders, those who are fathers hope that their son will go further and fly higher.
It is precisely because of such legend that everyone recognizes the fat man’s ability to write scripts.
But he does not recognize his ability as a director.
This is not the idea of one person, but the idea of most people.
It is precisely because everyone generally has this idea that this little fat man is not favored by everyone.
Until now, the second movie of this little fat man has not yet been settled.
It is also reflected from this aspect that everyone feels very ordinary about him.
If an emerging director is rising, how could he be let go of him as a film company?
We will inevitably invest in Part 2 quickly to strive to maximize the company's profit.
How could he keep resting until now?
"Okay, okay, okay! I like to listen, I've made up your friend.
If you have nothing to do, you’re good to eat, drink, and brag.” Wang Jing said to Lin Ping with a smile.
The appearance of Wang Jing eased the tense atmosphere on the scene a lot.
However, there are still people who don’t like Lin Ping.
"You keep talking about 10 million. Do you think you run a printing yard?
Do you think 10 million is so easy to come by?
The box office champion last year was only 17 million.
Do you know how many people are working hard for a movie? If any one can get 10 million yuan, I'm afraid a movie will need 100 million yuan to make a profit!" Some people think Lin Ping has no common sense at all.
It is very likely that this kid doesn't know how many people need to work hard to shoot a movie.
"Brother Wang must have a great family and a great career, otherwise he would not have such a heroic spirit.
Otherwise, Brother Wang will sign all of us.
I don't want much, I only need 200,000 yuan a year." Someone said with a smile.
"Yes, I don't want 10 million! 1 million per year is enough!" someone immediately responded.
"No, no, 1 million is too little. You look down on us Brother Wang so much, and you will start with 5 million." Someone joked.
Hearing everyone's words, Lin Ping raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet!
“I know that for today’s words, everyone thinks it’s a joke.
But I hope you remember this joke, because one day you will come to me with this joke.
I hope that by then, you will not be for me to be your mentor!” Lin Ping once again said something that made everyone shake their heads helplessly.
“Okay, OK, it’s getting late.
Today is indeed a very happy party, but I have to go to work tomorrow.
I hope to have a dream worth 10 million at night!” It’s getting late, and some people no longer want to stay and watch a madman perform.
As people left, more and more people put down their wine glasses.
"Xiao Wang, you are showing off now!" Chen Yulian and Liang Jiahui walked to Lin Ping and looked at him helplessly and said.
"I didn't deliberately want to show myself, I just talk about the matter.
Many people don't see their value.
For example, your brother Fa will one day become a superstar in Asia and even the world.
And your girlfriend will be limitless in the future.
Of course, the premise is that you have to learn to control your emotions...
As for Brother Jiahui, just relying on your intelligence and ability, you will be the best actor in less than two years." Lin Ping finished speaking and patted Liang Jiahui on the shoulder.
"Actors? No one is looking for me to film now. Could it be that I will rob a movie emperor with a knife? " Liang Jiahui looked at the friend he just made helplessly.
I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a disaster, this guy speaks too domineeringly.
Looking at Liang Jiahui's frustrated look, Lin Ping did not say it out loud.
If you say such an opportunity, it may not work.
"Xiao Wang, I'll take you back!" Chen Yu even watched everyone leave, so he asked to drive Lin Ping home again.
Lin Ping did not dare to accept the beauty's proposal.
"It's still no longer necessary, I won't disturb you on a date with Brother Chow! I'll treat Sister Lian to dinner another day!" Lin Ping looked at Brother Chow following Chen Yulian tightly. He had no eyesight anymore and shouldn't let others hate him anymore.
Although I don’t have to care about Fa Ge’s opinion, this has a bad impact after all.
"I have a driving car, why don't you let me take it to you!" Zhang Guorong immediately raised it and signaled that he could be everyone's driver.
After all, I got a great song at night, and now I drive Lin Ping home, which is one of the best opportunities to repay my kindness.
"That happens to be right, it's not easy to call a taxi here!" Liang Jiahui, who came with a taxi, said happily.
For him, no matter who it is, someone can just send him home.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's me! Do you think I exist?" Wang Jing ran to the middle of everyone and said loudly.
At this time, Wang Xiaopang had no money to buy his own private car.
Although the first movie in his life achieved a good box office, the two salary he received from the director and screenwriter were only more than 20,000 yuan.
With just this little money, it's hard to buy a used car.
What's more, he is very famous now, so how can he drive a used car?
Unless it is a second-hand luxury car.
"Then let's go with us..." Lin Ping didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet this great director.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place.
What if we have another good drink? There are some beautiful girls!" Wang Jingyi said with some intent.
"Cough, cough...I think I'd better forget it, my girlfriend is still waiting for me at home.
If I go back too late, I'm afraid there won't be any good ending.
I don’t want to go to the sofa in the future. It’s a miserable life.” Liang Jiahui was the first to retreat.
When Liang Jiahui retreated, the others said nothing.
"Then let's go there, we must be the most beautiful girls in Hong Kong!" Wang Jing continued to bewitch with a smirk.
To be continued...
