TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 340: Why Film Something Written By A Child?

Although this Director Jiang was a bit strange, Director Lu believed that they could agree to these terms. “Director Jiang has a strange personality, but he keeps his word and has good judgment. Since he had agreed, he would do his best. His abilities were not a problem, and he was definitely interested in his story. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said no when someone invited him to film a project earlier. He would rather find food here and there than accept a bad offer. ”

Mu Jingzhe: "Can I meet him first to talk?" Judging from the story, this man seemed to have the temperament and aura of a famous director.

“Sure, but you may have to think of ways to get investment funds. Director Jiang will not be able to get investors. ”

“Alright, I understand. Director Lu, other than Director Jiang, are no other directors willing to cooperate with us?”

Director Lu paused for a moment. "Not much. I don't believe in some of their abilities. The main reason was that Little Bei was also unable to act in films. Otherwise, there will definitely be people who will cooperate with you.”

Although Director Lu said it wisely, Mu Jingzhe understood what he meant. No one wants to film a story written by a child.

Mu Jingzhe understood, but after hanging up the phone, he was still a little angry. “Usia means nothing. It all depends on the story. In the future, people will come beg us to cooperate!”

The meeting of Mu Jingzhe and Director Jiang went very smoothly. Shao Xi also went to meet them. As Director Lu had said, Director Jiang was actually quite good overall. Not only can he put his production team together, but he can also work part-time as a screenwriter and even find lighting and camera crews.

Director Jiang's only request was that the director's fees be paid in advance, and he also said they couldn't interfere with him in filmmaking and casting roles. He had to decide how the film was filmed.

Of course, he also promised not to change the story randomly. If there were any changes, he would have asked Shao Xi for approval beforehand.

Both Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi could accept this. Both sides spoke sincerely. Shao Xi gave Director Jiang the full version of the story, and Director Jiang gave Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi previously unreleased works, as well as some scenes he had shot while being assistant director.

Mu Jingzhe quickly began to notice them. Although his last film has not yet been released, its overall quality is excellent. He recognized Director Jiang's ability.

Director Jiang also studied "Nameless" seriously. After watching it all night, because she loved the story so much and was inspired, she wrote down the filming plan and even drew some storyboards.

When they met the next day, he did not mind that Shao Xi was a child and started discussing the film with him. He shared some of his views and ideas with Shao Xi, and they matched up.

After more than an hour, when Mu Jingzhe had no choice but to interrupt them so they would drink and eat, Director Jiang finally noticed Mu Jingzhe.

He had discussed the script with Shao Xi. To Mu Jingzhe, Director Jiang only had one thing to say: I want to film it. Pay up!

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

Seeing that Mu Jingzhe did not say anything, Director Jiang urged Mu Jingzhe to get the money and said that he did not need to accompany them.

In short, this is their creator forum. Since Mu Jingzhe was unable to participate, he might as well go earn some money.

Very good, they have chosen a director, but this is just the beginning.

Mu Jingzhe started asking about investments and other things. Although Shao Dong said that he could invest, there were also issues related to the screening of the film. It's not just about having money.

Shao Dong then needed money for his business and was unable to properly break his capital chain to support Shao Xi. It is okay to invest some money, but obviously not all of it. Therefore, they still have to find investors.

Feeling that something was amiss, Mu Jingzhe specifically asked why this had happened. One of the investors who knew the situation kindly told him that those people were not willing to take risks for a child.

Previously, Director Lu had been courteous, but in reality, the rumors were even worse than before.

Many people in the circle of directors had heard that Director Lu had helped them find a director. Overall, they just don't think it's a good idea and find it controversial. They felt that the young Shao Xi was too proud to dare to do such a thing after only writing two books.

Although the protagonist is a child, they feel that a nameless hero is not something that people his age should or are able to write about.

Shao Xi was underestimated. Mu Jingzhe, who was busy helping Shao Xi pull the rope, was also criticized by others. They say that he may be addicted to caring for geniuses. Anyway, it's not fun to hear.

The director's attitude and opinion was also the attitude of most people in the film industry, which was why Mu Jingzhe continued to be rejected.

Director Lu had also heard about the situation. “This is inevitable. The main reason was that Shao Xi was still too young. If it really doesn't work, we'll wait a little longer. Slow down and don't worry.”

However, Mu Jingzhe felt that there was actually no need to wait. Shao Xi was young, but her work was indeed mature.

As he thought about how excited Shao Xi and the others were waiting for news of the film, Mu Jingzhe's fighting spirit ignited. If there is a problem, he must overcome it. He could not retreat every time he suffered a setback. Gold will eventually shine, and there will always be people with sharp eyes.

Mu Jingzhe ran for two more days and did not give up. In the end, he actually made some progress and found a film company to collaborate with. They invested in the film and will take care of the screening later. They also agreed not to interfere with the director's filming and casting process.

The agreement seemed negotiable, and the terms were not harsh. Relatively.the amount of investment is insignificant. Everything had to be done by Mu Jingzhe and the others.

Although this was far from what Mu Jingzhe had expected, it was the best result.

"I can invest some money." Shao Dong made his attitude clear. “I'm sure I can earn money from this when the movie is playing. I have faith in Shao Xi.”

"I am too." Mu Jingzhe thought of Director Jiang. "I'll handle Director Jiang's and his team's expenses."

Because families are united, this can be achieved. Shao Xi was happy and grateful, but she was actually a little unsure. He even thought that he would not only write books in the future but also do more things.

For example, in the future, she would like to be able to shoot without needing to ask her mother for help again. Shao Xi had a few more ideas, but he had to do it slowly. First, he had to film this film.

Mu Jingzhe did not know that Shao Xi had already thought of starting her own film production company and started thinking about money.

Mu Jingzhe's career could be considered flourishing everywhere now. Her hair decoration business and costume customization gave her a stable income, but during this period, she would need a lot of money for her lingerie business. Fortunately, there was also that paper-making factory.

Mu Jingzhe had put in a lot of effort to build a paper mill, but compared to other things, this was very easy for him. The sellers were very helpful. Now that the market in the province was completely open, he had snatched most of it away. The test product delivery method is very successful. After many people tried it, they felt that this was indeed much more convenient than toilet paper and switched to it.

At that time, the sellers were already very experienced and sharpened their knives as they left for the market outside the province.
