Disaster Artist

The tail of spring has gradually disappeared from sight. The breath of early summer is mixed with the smell of water and green eyes.

Recently, the movie market finally bid farewell to the long winter and started to become lively——

There, the Golden Book Awards came to an end, and it was the end of the awards season again. The award-winning works of the awards season were very popular in the cinema, and the Weihai Film Festival had already quietly kicked off, and the rumors about the entries were very lively. .

This time, the commercial film wars in the summer season have been impatient to appear one after another. You don't even need to wait until May officially enters the summer time. You can already see that the major film companies are making frequent moves, and the theaters are back to the hustle and bustle.

In the hustle and bustle, a piece of industry news came out quietly, but it didn't attract much attention——

Led by Lu Qian and supported and sponsored by Blue Whale Pictures, a scholarship organization named "Blacklist" was officially established, and the first phase of activities is underway.

After returning to Lanchuan from Yemane, Lu Qian moved frequently, and he did not hide his whereabouts, so it is not a secret within the industry:

He has been looking for film selection managers from major film companies. He contacted Jiang Haowen, Yu Shao and Xiu Zhongjun, and the Producers Union. There were both individual meetings and small gatherings. In addition, he held two private meetings. The party, the invitees are all these behind-the-scenes heroes hidden from the spotlight.

What does Lu Qian want to do?

Poaching? Looking for your next work? Build a network?

Everyone couldn't see it through, because Lu Qian's behavior was illogical, and it was difficult to find a reasonable explanation for the action of looking for a film selection manager, and the industry was completely confused.

Soon, through the mouths of these film selection managers, others gradually learned of the "blacklist plan" - Lu Qian did not intend to hide it, and confirmed it himself.

The move itself is not surprising. Although major film companies are competitors to each other, it is normal for a project to be submitted to multiple film companies, and film companies often communicate with each other, as long as there is no formal Sign up, all possibilities are open.

After all, the entertainment industry is a circle the size of a palm.

But why?

Film companies big and small couldn't understand that those works that were eliminated, eliminated and abandoned were originally "worthless waste", so why did Lu Qian search for food in the garbage?

Does Lu Qian have any special hobby for garbage?

Industry insiders are full of question marks.

The most likely explanation is that Blue Whale Pictures has too shallow a foundation in the industry and has not established a firm foothold. Lu Qian hopes to establish contacts through the "blacklist plan" and create a good reputation and image, just like charity work. , Fame and reputation are more important than the event itself.

It can be pieced together from the words of those film selection managers. Lu Qian's "blacklist plan" invites them to serve as members of the jury, but there is no substantial remuneration. The only things that can be returned are two points:

One is more projects.

In fact, film selection managers have also been under tremendous pressure, because they need to screen out more projects worth shooting for the film company, but the list of projects in front of them is limited and their energy is limited, which also means that their production The output efficiency has not been improved.

If they join the "Blacklist Program" project, they can communicate with each other and find more potential projects for their own companies to invest in and shoot.

The second is future planning.

Because of the entire screenwriter training program, this also means that they can join the rookie training program. In addition to finding more noteworthy newcomers, their own fame and reputation can also be recognized, and even cultivate their own direct line screenwriters. Fame and fortune.

To put it simply, Lu Qian drew a piece of cake, which looked beautiful, but no one knew how it would be executed and how it would advance.

Perhaps, Lu Qian established contacts and opened up the situation through such a plan. This is the greatest possibility.

But even Liuguang Films and Yunxiang Entertainment are confused and unclear, so they can't understand Lu Qian's strategy, because this plan is really thankless, it not only takes a lot of time and energy, but also produces results in the end It could also be very, very low --

As far as contacts are concerned, selection managers have very, very limited say in the film industry.

It can be seen from the reactions of the film selection managers. In fact, Lu Qian has contacted more than 300 relevant personnel in the industry one after another, but in the end, only about 40 people agreed to Lu Qian’s invitation, and finally listed Out of the list of 60 people, you can see a lot of moisture, and some fledgling film selection managers also appeared on the list, and the authority is really not guaranteed.

So, what exactly is Lu Qian planning?

Yunxiang Entertainment once wanted to sabotage, no matter what Lu Qian's purpose was, it was right that they would do anything to sabotage Lu Qian's plan, but they still didn't implement it.

reason?

Not because they are soft-hearted, but because they fear public wrath.

After all, the beneficiaries of the "Blacklist Project" are the vast number of screenwriters, directors and producers. There are so many projects that have been abandoned, abandoned, ignored, and sentenced to death. If they cut off this glimmer of hope, I am afraid that Yunxiang Entertainment will fall into trouble. People are shouting and fighting.

But just because they don't destroy doesn't mean they'll sit idly by.

Liuguang Pictures took the initiative to "cooperate with the work", not only did not stop Lu Qian's project, but also threw more than 500 abandoned projects in one go. But the real purpose is to divert the contradiction——

The people behind the more than 500 projects are going to entangle Lu Qian and Blue Whale Pictures.

These projects have been abandoned in the warehouse with no news. There are many works of famous directors or screenwriters, but obviously the film company is not interested~www.novelmt.com~ Standing in front of Streamer Films, the complaints and complaints of these people are also It can only be swallowed in the stomach, but it is different when facing the young and immature Blue Whale Films.

In particular, Lu Qian set up a "blacklist plan" to draw a moving blueprint. Once it can't be carried out as expected, these people will inevitably entangle Blue Whale Pictures, and then Lu Qian will know what it means to be "hard to entangle". .

Yunxiang Entertainment also joined in the fun, lost more than 30 projects in the past, and then gloated to watch the fire from the other side.

It is precisely because of this that the "blacklist plan" has sparked a little discussion, but it has not really stirred up a splash, and the seven major film companies are even more dismissive:

In their eyes, Lu Qianqian is a young dreamer who is not deeply involved in the world and has unrealistic fantasies. He may have some directorial talents, but there is absolutely no practical significance in terms of operation and management.

After Li Ji learned the ins and outs of the "Blacklist Project" from Li Lang, the first reaction in his mind was:

That's it?
