After arranging for Li Chunfeng to be in charge of the company registration, Shen Fei came to Wanli Film and Television.
He was actually not very willing to come, but Li Wei called and said that a director had come. This was the first director to sign a contract. Li Wei hoped that the boss, Shen Fei, would be there personally to show his importance.
Shen Fei thought about it and finally agreed.
He soon arrived at the company in the car.
Li Wei was already waiting at the door.
"She's in the meeting room."
As Li Wei walked, he introduced Shen Fei,"Although he's a young director, he shot a low-budget comedy movie last year, but the short films and movies he shot this year didn't do well at the box office.”
"Yes."
Shen Fei nodded slightly. He had already made some judgments about this director.
It was very difficult for a director to make a name for himself.
As a graduate of a film academy, Shen Fei knew the current state of the entertainment industry all too well.
Compared to the era where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could become a director, the entertainment industry today was indeed very difficult.
Among the many majors offered by the Film Academy, the easiest to find a job was not the performing arts major that was popular in laymen's eyes. Instead, it was the film and television literature major.
They were also known as screenwriters.
One had to know that those who studied acting were all ruthless people who had been selected from countless people.
And among these people, there would basically be a few celebrity students every year, plus ten to twenty small actors who were soy sauce from various production teams.
After enduring it for so long, he might even be able to turn it around in the end and be called an old actor.
However, the remaining people were basically eliminated by this industry.
Some changed their profession, some got married.
There were even people who went into the sea to do business and take the civil service examination.
However, even those who were still in the industry did not have an easy time. After all, it was not easy to become famous and become a celebrity.
In contrast, screenwriters were more likely to muddle through their days.
After all, he graduated from the Film Academy, and his professional abilities were very trustworthy.
Moreover, the price of students was cheap, so they didn't have to take on the role of a big shot. However, there were quite a few jobs like being a ghostwriter for those big screenwriters who had the right to sign their names.
Of course, it was also possible that he would not get paid after finishing the job.
As long as the other party was not afraid of embarrassing himself in the industry, it was normal that he could not get the money.
Moreover, it was not easy to become an independent screenwriter and have the right to sign the contract.
However, the most difficult to train was still the directing department.
One had to know that a production team only needed one director.
In China, the director was the center of the show. One person was in charge of the success or failure of the show.
The investment in movies and television dramas was easily in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. As long as they lost money, it would be at the level of vomiting blood. Who would dare to entrust such a big business to someone who had no experience, qualifications, or achievements?
However, if he could not get his first chance, where would he get his qualifications and achievements?
This was an endless loop.
Therefore…
As a director, he could only endure.
He would think of all kinds of ways to endure it!
Script supervisor, assistant director, assistant director, executive director, production assistant, photography assistant, everything.
Writing scripts and stealing the screenwriter's job.
He was even the most bitter scriptwriter in the production team. He could change it at any time. He would listen to whoever had the most cards in the production team and change it however he wanted. Shooting an advertisement.
Shooting a music video.
There were even people who went to act and build connections.
Shen Fei remembered that before he was reborn, the actor who played the role of Duan Kun in Tsimshatsui had acted in a movie. It was only then that he found out that the person was a director.
This was not considered much. There were even people who went to write programs for other television stations. They could also become executive directors or producers.
In this category, talent shows made up stories about students, legal shows made up shocking stories, and reality shows made up plots.
What else could he do?
He had to endure it first before he could slowly get an opportunity!
The reason why so many directors could still win Best Newcomer Award despite being in their thirties or forties was because many years had passed since they graduated from university when they had the chance to direct their first movie independently.
It was obvious.
The director who was coming to Wanli Film and Television to sign the contract today should not be that kind of person.
After all, he had already made a blockbuster movie last year.
With this thought in mind, Shen Fei walked into the meeting room.
However, the moment he entered and saw the person sitting there, Shen Fei was stunned.
What was going on?
Why was he here?
