Disaster Artist

"Disaster Artist(

"Blacklist Project", from the initial proposal to the present, more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. After the initial stage of chaos, confusion, and disorder, the promotion and development of the entire plan went very smoothly. Even if Lu Qian returned to When it came to the director's position, Jiang Haowen of Damen Pictures also kept pushing.

According to the plan, Lu Qian plans to announce this "blacklist" on January 1, and share it with more than 800 film selection managers in the industry for free in the form of a New Year's gift, and officially establish it as the annual New Year's gift of Blue Whale Pictures. Plan, on an annual basis, to continuously output content.

Immediately afterwards, Blue Whale Pictures will officially launch the "blacklist" website.

The website, first of all, will publish the "blacklist" every year, but the most important thing is that they will follow up the follow-up progress of each work in the "blacklist".

Secondly, Blue Whale Pictures will set up a screenwriter foundation to play two roles through the website platform.

First, launch an online screenwriter symposium, which is divided into two forms.

One is a lecture centered on big-name screenwriters. Blue Whale Films pays the appearance fee, and registered members of the website can attend at a very low cost.

One is one-on-one teaching. Blue Whale Pictures invites some senior screenwriters, film selection managers, and producers to station in the station, and then registered members of the website can directly deliver their scripts to them by paying a fee. object, invite them to correct their own script——

Such a form cannot ensure that the script is favored by the "blacklist", nor can it ensure that the script can be paid attention by large companies, but at least it can allow the screenwriters to get more professional guidance.

Second, commend the new generation of screenwriters, which will also be divided into two forms.

One is to commend the "blacklist" finalists. Each finalist can get a reward, not much, but more of an honorary affirmation.

One is to encourage perseverance in creating but there are no screenwriters who can open up the situation for the time being. The specific process is the same as the scholarship, which requires application and review, because the amount will be relatively large, and Blue Whale Pictures will pay the living expenses every month. Support the writer's creation for the next year.

To put it simply, the "Blacklist Project" will form a huge system around the "blacklist", not only to find more outstanding projects, but also to encourage more screenwriters to continue to create and inject fresh blood into the entire industry.

In fact, this is not the first of Blue Whale Pictures.

Including large film companies such as Streamer Films, Fantastic Films and other major film festivals, they have set up similar projects.

Taking Weihai Film Festival as an example, they invite three to five film masters to Weihai every year to hold master classes, and then accept applications from young filmmakers to enter the master class to study, discuss, and collide with inspiration.

At that time, Ji Xu's scholarship program in the streamer film industry can also be said to be similar.

But the difference is that the projects of film companies such as Streamer Films, Magic Films, etc. are often for their own benefit. The works and talents of the scholarship programs are all owned by the film companies, and on the whole they are relatively closed and narrow.

For film festival projects, the organizers often just provide a platform, and they will not be involved in any interests and maintain an objective position; of course, directors/screenwriters who come out through master classes will often be labeled as film festivals. brand.

The "blacklist plan" is more inclined to the type of film festival.

The Blacklist is open to all studios, the Screenwriters Foundation is open to everyone, and even invited guests break down company barriers.

It is precisely because of this that through Jiang Haowen's contact and call, the "Blacklist Project" started so smoothly. For the film selection managers of different film companies, this is to make their work easier and easier. The way, but some people are willing to promote it for free, naturally it is better.

Similarly, the majority of screenwriters are also willing to raise their hands and feet to agree, not only can their works get more exposure, but also can seek more opportunities, and even establish contacts, so don't be too happy.

So, is Blue Whale Pictures really asking for nothing?

Obviously not.

Blue Whale Pictures is not a saint either.

From the point of view of other film companies, Blue Whale Films has just established a firm foothold in the industry and needs to establish a huge network of contacts, while Lu Qian has already made a lot of money through three works, and the cash flow is very sufficient, so he invested in the "blacklist plan" Undoubtedly, it is to invest in the future, and it feels a bit like a nouveau riche spending a lot of money.

This view is correct, but not entirely correct.

To be precise, it should be partially correct. In addition, the works of the streaming media platform are supplemented. Through the brokerage company, the “unofficial actors” and the alliance of the behind-the-scenes staff have been jointly established to establish their own reputation and brand within the industry, and ultimately. Interact with streaming media.

This is the grand blueprint of Blue Whale Pictures.

As time goes on, this blueprint will be revealed little by little.

Lu Qian is busy now, and this is the matter. Because it is related to the entire plan of Blue Whale Pictures, this matter must not be delayed.

The footsteps of the New Year are not far away, and it seems that you can already hear wandering around the corner of the street, whether it is a "blacklist" or a website, all need to keep up with it as soon as possible.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock at the door, but Lu Qian didn't look back, his eyes still stayed on the computer screen, he just said aloud ~www.novelmt.com~ the door was unlocked. "

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, you can feel a figure stop beside him.

Ji Xu was a little helpless, waited for a while, but got no response, so he could only pat Lu Qian on the shoulder.

"Everyone was partying down there, and you, the protagonist, just ran away like this?"

"Party, what matters is the atmosphere, not the people."

"Yes, yes, I know, reading the script is a party for you, and you're celebrating, aren't you?"

Ji Xu rolled his eyes silently.

Of course Ji Xu also knows that the matter of streaming media and the "blacklist" is very urgent. It can be said that the arrow is on the line and cannot be delayed; but Lu Qian has been too busy and tense recently, so it is necessary to relax a little occasionally. ——

Even if you are in a hurry, it's not too short of an hour or two.

However, looking at Lu Qian in front of him, Ji Xu remembered the reason why he came here, and he also knew that there was no gap for them to rest in a short time.

Thinking of this, Ji Xu was also a little helpless, the words of the spit poured into his mouth, he swallowed it again, and said weakly.

"At least have a beer and go."

"So, did you make a special trip to bring me beer?"

Lu Qian didn't raise his head at all, just tossed it over in an understatement, and choked Ji Xu hard.

Without getting a response, Lu Qian finally turned his head and looked up and down. There was no beer, he didn't speak, he just laughed.

The complaints that had just been suppressed came up again, but Ji Xu didn't have time to speak, and the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and glanced at it, and handed it to Lu Qian without answering.

Lu Qian's head was full of question marks: ? ? ?
