Disaster Artist

Lu Qian was not worried about Yu Shao's ability and way of dealing with interpersonal relationships, crisis situations, and social networks; work, this was what Lu Qian cared about.

Lu Qian needs to be clear about Yu Shao's work mode and how Yu Shao filters out those cooperation projects. Only by understanding the whole process can he be sure whether he will miss out on some important project cooperation opportunities——

Agents are indeed the first hurdle for artists to select works.

In the time and space that Lu Qian is familiar with, the most famous case is Harrison-Ford.

At the turn of the century, the top superstar became interested in science fiction movies. He wanted to try some new generation science fiction works, so he asked his agent to choose some suitable projects. Contact, looking forward to being able to invite the box office superstar to join.

The first was the "Lord of the Rings" series, but the agent thought the story was too boring, so Ford took the agent's advice and declined.

Then came the "Matrix" series, but the agent thought he couldn't understand the story, and Ford didn't understand it either. Finally, at the agent's suggestion, he refused again.

Everyone knows what happened next. The great success of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix" detonated the world, but it has nothing to do with Ford.

Of course, for an actor of Harrison Ford's level, there are countless missed works, and there are definitely more than one or two classics missed. There is no need to be too sorry; but the real point is still, the agent's aesthetics and judgment.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the film industry, there are no one thousand or eight hundred works that emerge every day. It is impossible for artists to choose one by one. If you choose certain works, you will inevitably miss some works. Therefore, it is better to miss them than to miss them. Said, what is more important is the ability of the agent to select works——

The manager is the first screening mechanism for each project to enter the artist's line of sight:

A good manager can often find a suitable project according to the artist's requirements, and at least draw a range; a bad manager always gives the artist wrong advice and ruins the artist's chances with his own prejudice. .

What Lu Qian cares about is Yu Shao's criteria for screening projects.

Yu Shao understood immediately.

"Director, you have been busy with the 'blacklist plan' recently. There have been hundreds of script projects that you have read over and over again. I always think that you should find the projects you are interested in. Even if not, you are the most All you need is to read a whole new adaptation."

"I think Dong Ruixian's idea is a good one, and it's also an opportunity, but you can wait for a while, at least wait for me to read the original book first."

Reasonable.

Recently, Lu Qian was really overwhelmed by the script. The huge workload of the "Blacklist Project" made him have no time to think about other things.

Not only Yu Shao, but also Ji Xu and Xiu Zhongjun are a little worried, worried that this project will tie Lu Qian's hands and feet, and the garbage dumping "help" of Liuguang Business and Yunxiang Entertainment may really drown Lu Qian and make Lu Qian. I was so breathless that I didn't have time to think about the next work for a while.

"In addition, director, you have been avoiding repeating works with similar themes and similar styles. This time the original work has many similarities with 'tourists'. I think, before I recommend it to you, I need to have a better understanding. Otherwise, the director will definitely not like the project."

"I hope I can finish reading it and then communicate with the director."

Yu Shao is sincere, and the simple words are clear and well-founded. Obviously, he also knows Dong Ruixian's weight, but at the same time he cares more about Lu Qian's opinion, so he temporarily suppressed the "disappearing lover" project, there is no first Tell Lu Qian for a while.

Yu Shao didn't expect that Dong Ruixian could not wait so quickly and went straight to Fengcheng.

Lu Qian's eyes showed a hint of clarity.

"Brother Yu, your idea is correct, thank you for being able to consider it for me."

Without going around, Lu Qian gave Yu Shao affirmation:

Their collaboration is indeed slowly on track.

Yu Shao's tense heartstrings loosened a little, just like in the classroom, facing the students who are suddenly asking questions from the teacher, after giving the correct answer with full alertness, he finally relaxed.

However, Yu Shao was not a "student" after all, he quickly calmed down, and his brain turned quickly.

"Director, how is your conversation with Dong Ruixian going? How did you finally reply to Dong Ruixian?"

"I also need to write an email here to formally reply to her and her agent."

"Director, you should know that we also need to reach an agreement between our agents and producers, otherwise everything will be messed up like this, and random people will come directly in front of you like this at any time. Communication is inefficient and chaotic. , it's not good for everyone."

The professionalism of the broker is revealed at this time. Even if the incident has happened, there is still a set of ways to deal with it afterwards.

But Lu Qian's focus was slightly different. "If Dong Ruixian knew and you described her as 'anyone', I don't think she would be happy."

Yu Shao couldn't help but laughed out loud, very helpless, "Director, this is not the point."

"That's not the point, what is it?" Lu Qian also joked along, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Yu Shao also took advantage of the situation and said, "Whether the director is interested, this is the key point. To be honest, director, you need to inform me in advance, are you really interested in this adaptation project?"

"Why, no?" Lu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and he tasted some deep meaning from Yu Shao's words.

Yu Shao shook his head quickly, "No, it's not. I talked to Ji Xu, the director is now spending so much time on the 'blacklist plan', we all think that if the director's next work is selected from this list, That was undoubtedly the most convincing, and we all thought the director thought the same thing."

Lu Qian was a little surprised, "You still have contact with Ji Xu in private?" The key point was wrong.

Yu Shao can't help laughing~www.novelmt.com~Director..."

Lu Qian also retracted his thoughts, "Of course, I agree with your point of view, but it doesn't need to be limited to me, as long as Blue Whale Pictures is the first to invest in projects on the blacklist, one or two, and then convince the door. The film industry also chooses to take a look, and it can have a positive impact in the industry."

"Also, the recognition of the two studios is more important than the influence I can exert as a director. Because it means that other studios should also look at this blacklist and maybe be able to unearth more treasures ."

Yu Shao raised his jaw slightly, and the thoughts in his mind were already turning quickly. Lu Qian's words were right, but he still needed to push the fire behind him.

"Director, listening to your words, you seem to be really interested in Dong Ruixian's project. I thought that you have been resisting repeating yourself."

"I really don't want to repeat myself, but who says this project has to continue the 'tourist' style?"

Lu Qian's words made Yu Shao stunned: What does this mean?
