Disaster Artist

"The woman who left", Lu Qian's first target for Echo.

Here, Lu Qian must admit that a small part of the reason is that "The Woman Who Left" didn't have many choices. Various factors in this film determine that no distributor dares to accept it easily, and the olive branch from Echo will play a life-saving role. The role of straw becomes an opportunity to break the shackles.

Otherwise, imagine that the directors of these art films are often arrogant, and would rather starve to death than eat what they got.

Of course, the same goes for Luo Jiang.

Before meeting, Lu Qian was a little worried:

An independent director who dared to use four hours of black-and-white video to intercept a certain segment of reality, his persistence, his alternative, and his tenacity have all been shown in the film. I am afraid that Luo Jiang would rather the film never see the light of day. Don't accept handouts and sympathy from streaming media.

In fact, for "The Woman Who Left", the most practical and feasible solution is to screen in different film festivals.

The film festival is such a display platform that invites film lovers from different cities and regions to gather together to appreciate works that are difficult to be fully released in the market and classics that have accumulated over time. Film fans can always find their own in the film festival. own happiness.

If "The Woman Who Left" won an award at Lanxia, ​​other film festivals would be more than willing to welcome it with open arms.

Therefore, if Luo Jiang insists, the "leaving woman" can completely refuse Lu Qian's olive branch and continue to go to the film festival, just like the global tour of the concert, showing in different film festivals, even if it does not land on the big screen of the art theater , can also be appreciated by the audience.

In other words, Lu Qian has his own chips, but Luo Jiang doesn't necessarily have no chance at all—

Moreover, "The Woman Who Left" was only screened in Lan Xia, so Luo Jiang could go to several different film festivals to see, and perhaps other distribution companies would be willing to take over. The door of opportunity is indeed narrowing, but it has not been completely closed.

In fact, some worries did materialize, but some didn't.

What Luo Jiang really cares about is the "audience"—

He hopes that audiences can see his work. For him, shooting a movie is a kind of expression. Because there is something he wants to express, he shoots it as an image and finally becomes a movie. Therefore, if no audience sees this Works and expressions will become soliloquies.

This is not what Luo Jiang wants to see.

Although at the beginning of the conversation, Luo Jiang was full of repulsion to the echo. It was hard to imagine that a work like "The Woman Who Left" would appear on the screen of a computer or mobile phone. The quality of those images would be completely weakened. Negatively, he didn't like the attention.

However, Lu Qian managed to let Luo Jiang hear his voice—

"The Woman Who Left" will still be shown in theaters, but the difference is that the theaters and Echo will be released simultaneously.

On the one hand, the movie will land in art theaters around the world. Although there is no specific plan yet, Lu Qian hopes that the scale of the movie will eventually reach about 300, and it will spread as much as possible in big cities, so that those movie fans can enjoy the movie theater environment. experience the charm of this work.

On the other hand, movies will also be launched simultaneously on Echo. Those who are interested in movies but do not live in first-tier cities, and those who want to watch movies but have no way to go to theaters to watch them due to work or life, etc., can watch them online. to enjoy this work.

In essence, Lu Qian and Luo Jiang's demands are the same, they both hope that "the woman who left" can be appreciated by more movie lovers—

Assuming that the audience can enjoy this work in the cinema, that would be the best; but they all know that this goal is very difficult.

The difference is that Lu Qian is bolder and more adventurous. He created Echo and made an attempt. Now, he is inviting Luo Jiang to join.

For Luo Jiang, Lu Qian made an invitation that he couldn't refuse, and it could even be said that they hit it off.

Some people may say that this is only the first meeting between Luo Jiang and Lu Qian, how can he easily trust Lu Qian? After all, no one should easily believe in capital. Those hype descriptions are likely to be all hoaxes, a grand mirage, and nothing is left in the end.

But no matter what, in the end, Lu Qian successfully persuaded Luo Jiang.

So, the breakthrough came like this.

From landing in Lanxia to holding hands with Luojiang, Echo has achieved a lot at this year's Lanxia Film Festival.

In fact, from a long-term perspective, Lu Qian hopes that the "leaved woman" can win the Golden Kite Award, which will be more beneficial to the future development of Echo—

Imagine that the Shinco Golden Kite Award landed on the Echo platform. Such a heavy news headline is enough to create a storm.

It was precisely because it took some effort to persuade Luo Jiang that Lu Qian was delayed in coming to the airport.

The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and the source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

Sight, back to the present moment.

Outside of Luojiang, even before Ji Xu and Xiu Zhongjun, Jiang Shiqi actually saw some clues, which was really a surprise.

Lu Qian was a little happy:

It seems that the word-of-mouth and image accumulated by Echo in the past few months have given enough hints, even if they have not officially launched the promotion, Jiang Shiqi has already felt the specialness of this streaming platform~www.novelmt.com ~ In a sense, this is the first step to echo the brand image.

In the crowd, Jiang Shiqi saw Lu Qian's gaze projected over, with a slight smile, showing a touch of affirmation. Before he had time to think about what this gaze meant, the colleagues around him had already noticed the situation , all the sights swished together.

Looking at Jiang Shiqi, then at Lu Qian, everyone was thinking about—

What question did Jiang Shiqi raise just now?

Then.

You can see that Lu Qian raised his right hand, put his index finger on his lips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

"Hush."

Is this... the meaning of secrecy?

Jiang Shiqi was stunned, so, did Lu Qian just admit his guess? Did you accidentally grab a big exclusive?

boom!

In an instant, there was a roar in my mind, and all my thoughts rushed up.

But in his sight, Lu Qian didn't care at all, he didn't care about the heavy weight he dropped, turned around and continued to move forward, and disappeared in front of him in one fell swoop.

The reporters crowded at the door, looked at Lu Qian, then at Jiang Shiqi, a small number of them chased after them, but soon realized that there was no chance—

Because the security personnel have already swarmed the landing dive to the VIP channel, ready to board the plane, which also means that their footsteps can no longer approach.

In the end, the reporters still stopped and did not continue to catch up. Instead, they cast their gazes at Jiang Shiqi one by one. Those scorching eyes almost made the air burn, enough to melt Jiang Shiqi. A sense of crisis surrounded Jiang Shiqi.

Jiang Shiqi:? ? ?

So, did the director just trick him?

"...Director...director?"
