Disaster Artist

Chapter 41: war between heaven and man

"...But, it's a pity that Damen Pictures could not sign a contract with you."

At the end of the rounds and rounds, what should have come has come.

Lu Qian and Ji Xu exchanged glances, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes, it was difficult to describe the mood at the moment.

Ji Xu still shouldered the responsibility of the producer, and did not simply accept the answer, "But, why? I thought you liked this work."

"I like it, of course." Jiang Haowen said half-truths, otherwise the lie will be exposed, then this circus performance will not be exciting enough, "However, my personal liking cannot represent the market attitude."

After calming down a little, Jiang Haowen had already thought about his speech. He still had work to do, and expressed his position in a professional manner.

"The way the entire movie is presented on a computer desktop is not only a worry that the shooting technique is too advanced, but also whether it is suitable for large-screen playback."

"In my opinion, playing this movie on a computer should be more suitable than playing it on a big screen, and the illusion it brings to the audience can create more horror effects."

"That is to say, we have no way to buy a TV movie, which is obviously inconsistent with our company's pursuit."

Jiang Haowen was always smiling, neither aggressive nor condescending, but it was precisely this kind of friendliness that made the edge of his words sharper, revealing a professional indifference, and completed the humiliation with a gentle but firm gesture.

"TV movie?"

Lu Qian couldn't believe his ears. Today's performance was always calm and calm, but at this time his emotions were surging uncontrollably, and he raised his voice for the first time. Obviously, Jiang Haowen's comment stung Lu Qian's bottom line as a director. .

"For a while, I couldn't tell whether you were trying to demean the TV movie, or were you trying to insult the movie?"

The understated sentence is sneering and sarcastic. It doesn't spit out Jiang Haowen's aesthetic taste at all. Although the words are talking about movies and TV movies, the main body behind the words is Jiang Haowen, and the firepower is unfolding. attack.

Jiang Haowen was also slightly stinged, and his words became slightly sharper, "A rookie director who is shooting his debut film, opening his mouth is to belittle the TV movie, and shutting up is to humiliate the movie. It's a big tone."

Lu Qian was not provoked, but sneered, "Manager Jiang, you are insulting your own aesthetics. You should listen to your comments just now. What TV movie would be shot like this?"

Jiang Haowen was at a loss for words.

He also realized that the compliment he couldn't help just now had become evidence of shaming. If he continued to say it, he would only be embarrassed.

Looking at Lu Qian in front of him, the arrogance that is neither humble nor arrogant is not aggressive and sharp, but has a firmness that cannot be violated, which makes Jiang Haowen still a little guilty after all.

He doesn't like moments like this. It should be about the creation of movies, but it turns into a game of interests. Things are no longer simple.

Today, he should have humiliated Ji Xu and Lu Qian severely, but now he has missed the opportunity, but at least he should finish the task he refused.

He let out a sigh of relief, Jiang Haowen regained his composure and did not continue to entangle.

"In short, this is my judgment. Unfortunately, Damen Pictures has no way to buy the copyright of this work. You are only humiliating yourself by continuing to entangle here. There is no need for us to go to that step. Maybe, you can Ask to look at other companies."

With a quick knife to cut through the mess, Jiang Haowen immediately announced the result.

Lu Qian tried his best to suppress his emotions, but he couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly, his jaw line tightened.

Ji Xu noticed Lu Qian's expression out of the corner of his eyes, and his stomach was burning.

He really thought that Damen Pictures was their chance, but the cruel reality still smothered their hopes again, so what should they do?

But in the midst of anger and disappointment, Ji Xu's brain began to run fast. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He needed to clear his mind from the beginning to see what went wrong.

huh...

Lu Qian let out a light breath, pulled his reason back from the edge of the cliff, and nodded to Jiang Haowen.

"I know."

Lu Qian's expression had returned to calm again, and he continued to speak sincerely.

"Anyway, thank you for taking the time to meet us today and spend a movie time. Anytime, it's a pleasure to enjoy a work in the cinema."

Jiang Haowen was very surprised. He was surprised by Lu Qian's calmness and restraint. In fact, he could feel Lu Qian's shoulder and arm muscles tense. field--

Bravely expressing your views when you should fight for reasons, and not messing around when you should be discerning, this kind of mind and wisdom is already exceptionally rare.

Jiang Haowen likes Lu Qian's way of doing things.

"Any works?" Jiang Haowen asked rhetorically.

Lu Qian shrugged, "Of course, when I see a bad movie, I can't help but curse and waste my life. It's not good to do something in those two hours; but next time I encounter such a situation, I would still risk a bad movie going into the movie theater~www.novelmt.com~ because the world built with light and shadow on the big screen is so fascinating."

Speaking, the corners of Lu Qian's mouth rose again, and he could see the happiness that came from the heart, simple but firm.

"Although we have not been able to cooperate successfully today, I believe that this is due to commercial considerations, not the film itself."

The soft part in Jiang Haowen's heart was hit gently. He knew that Lu Qian was a person who really liked movies.

In fact, for the seven major film companies in Lanchuan, film is a business and is no longer a hobby.

However, among the tens of thousands of people in the film industry, there are still many people who have the heart of a child who loves movies, and just simply love it. Unfortunately, in the cruel real life, they are often swallowed and drowned by capital, and the brilliance of their dreams can no longer bloom.

Looking at Lu Qian and Ji Xu who turned around and were about to leave, Jiang Haowen couldn't bear it.

He would like to say, I like this work, and our company is willing to sign it; but he can't, because even if he signs it, the company won't release it.

He would like to say that this work is indeed the style of our company, just because we have to make some trade-offs for a bigger goal; but he can't, because the negotiation between Damen Pictures and Streamer Pictures is still a secret, any A little leak can cause tens of billions of projects to go bankrupt.

He was confused, why the cooperation between two top companies needs to care about a work by a small director. This is really ridiculous. Shouldn't it be an interest transaction? But he also knew that, apart from interests, people's hearts were the most unpredictable, and Lu Qian was just an unimportant circus performance.

Angels and demons quarreled over Jiang Haowen's head.
