Attitude and Choices

An excellent premiere. When people are pursuing various shooting arts and film depth, Truck Driver, who has nothing to do with art, told people that there is a kind of movie that has little to do with art, but is more eye-catching than art movies.

After the premiere, Lin Qi did not leave immediately. Fox and his son found Director, a relatively well-known documentary in the industry, and the screenwriter. They wanted to sit down and talk, but what Lin Qi didn't expect was that James also came.

James was a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Qi. He opened his mouth to speak, then looked at Fox and his son who were not far away, and finally shouted "Mr. Lin Qi" instead of "boss".

A simple title can actually allow Lin Qi to distinguish the current situation of James. He did not call Lin Qi boss, which means that he and Lin Qi no longer have a direct subordinate relationship at work.

"I didn't know you resigned, Cook didn't tell me." Lin Qi didn't have much idea, "Are you working at Fox Film now?"

James's embarrassment gradually subsided, and Lin Qi's indifference made some of the things he thought the betrayal brought about became easier. He nodded, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

He resigned from the retreat of Cook and joined Fox Film. On the one hand, he has a very special talent in scripts. He is not a rigid academic and always wants to show the depth of the film through some details.

There is no depth to Truck Driver, and if there is, it must be the depth of the Road Girls, not theirs.

Several scripts written by James have a strong personal style. However, the reputation of the movie was not particularly good after it was shot. This may have something to do with Director and the editor.

As we all know, there are thousands of good stories, but there are only so many good Director in the entire Federal. Director's status is higher than that of screenwriters, and so are editors.

In order to find new breakthroughs, James began to learn how to become an excellent Director, which also left him little time to participate in the work of the transportation team. In addition, Fox and his son hoped that he could jump to Fox Film to help them. In the end, James ended his work in the team after talking to Cook twice.

Of course, he also has some ideas of his own. After all, as a Truck Driver, no matter how good he is, in the end he will be as good as Cook. The management of the team will spend his life with a salary that may not be as good as Truck Driver.

This is not what he wants. He wants to turn his fantastic ideas into reality. He wants to make more money so that his mother can live in a big house. Then he must make more money and make more money faster.

Joining Fox Film is a good choice. Fox and his son have just started and are still building their team. If you join at this time, you can become a veteran, and the resources will be tilted towards him, so he has a high chance of success.

The only thing that made him feel a little embarrassed was that he felt a little sorry for Lin Qi. He felt that this might be a kind of betrayal.

But Lin Qi seemed indifferent. He patted James's arm and said, "I am also the major shareholder of Fox Film. In fact, I am still your boss. Don't think that you can get rid of me if you change your job!"

He spoke in a completely joking tone, which relieved James's nervous and awkward mood very well, "Sorry, boss, you know..."

Lin Qi didn't let him continue, "People always have ideals, James. I'm glad that the people around me can find their own ideals and then find the right direction for their efforts. When you have the ability to direct alone and need someone to support you, you can call me."

James was very touched. Although Fox Film is not yet a big company, some phenomena of fighting for power and profit have gradually emerged, and most of this is reflected in the establishment of projects.

The screenwriters and Director in the company are all competing for how much investment a project can get and how much attention it can receive. If Lin Qi can support him, his future development in the company will definitely be smooth sailing.

While they were talking, Fox father and son and two slovenly middle-aged men wearing baseball caps and full beards came in.

In recent years, in the Lardimore film and television industry, a brown beard has almost become the standard feature of Director. Without a beard, you will lose points when discussing cooperation, which has also led to everyone starting to grow a beard.

"This is Director, the president of "The Minority"..." Mr. Fox first introduced Lin Qi to the first bearded man, a very famous but somewhat controversial Director.

"The Minority" is one of the most influential documentaries of Federal in recent years. It directly exposed the hypocrisy of Federal people. This documentary uses the most detailed content to expose the lives of immigrants and indigenous people to the public eye.

It is precisely because of this documentary that Federal people realize how "ugly" and "evil" they are. Except for a few wealthy Investment Immigration and scientific researchers, Labor Immigration and the indigenous people in Federal are all facing some kind of desperate environment.

Discrimination, humiliation, indifference, violence, crime, almost all negative social problems have occurred in this group, giving Federal, who claims to be a free country where everyone is equal, a severe slap in the face.

It is said that some people smashed Director's car and sent him bullets.

But no matter what, he became famous. After those disturbing days, he became quite famous. It's just a bit ridiculous that he has not received any new work so far.

When Mr. Fox was talking in a small circle about the need for a documentary Director, this person who had heard the news from somewhere called him that night and asked Mr. Fox to consider him.

Another bearded man is also quite famous. His fame is different from the previous bearded man. He is good at showing the good side of Federal. He shoots social documentaries that everyone likes, such as "Federal Family".

By following six families of different classes, he reflects their different solutions to the same problems, with emotions, angers, sorrows and joys. Sometimes people may even think that what he is filming is a TV series, but it is indeed a documentary.

In addition, there are several screenwriters. These screenwriters Mr. Fox just mentioned some of their names casually, not even their masterpieces.

The status of screenwriters is indeed not high in this circle, unless they are very famous screenwriters and original screenwriters, but even so, the status of screenwriters is still not high enough.

Each Production Company company receives thousands of scripts every year, and there are many outstanding scripts among them. Once the Grand Duke company takes a fancy to them, they will buy out the filming rights of the scripts at a very low price.

So even if the screenwriter has a great masterpiece, it has nothing to do with them. At most, they can give a few more when writing sequels. Want to share money or copyright? That's a joke! After introducing a few people, everyone sat together, and Lin Qi talked about his thoughts, "I plan to raise funds to shoot a documentary about Federal People in Nagaril, which will reflect the difficulties and process of Federal people's struggle overseas from many aspects, as well as the final harvest."

This was a keynote, and everyone nodded. They wrote down this element in their notebooks, overseas, and struggle.

However, some people also put forward some ideas, "Mr. Lin Qi, why is it in Nagaril and not in a place like Gefra?"

The person who asked the question was the documentary Director that slapped Federal in the face. His question was very realistic and tricky. "If it weren't for some of your experiences and recent events, people might not pay attention to the place Nagaril in their lifetime."

"Please forgive my presumption, I don't even know where this country is on the map, but I believe that Federal people, at least most Federal people, are very interested in Gefra."

"Cultural, economic, military, political and social aspects are all attracting Federal people. If it is Federal people who are photographed in Gefra, it may have a great response!"

What Director said is actually right, but Lin Qi does not intend to encourage Federal people to make a living in Gefra, nor can they provide convenience for Lin Qi there.

Of course, he couldn't express his thoughts directly. He could only express it in another way, "We can put this in the future. At this stage, we have very frequent contacts with Nagaril. Secondly, once we establish bilateral diplomatic relations, considerable capital will flow into Nagaril and their local regime to jointly develop the entire country."

"People know nothing about it, so we need to let them have some understanding. This can also help everyone find some paths in the next great era."

Mr. Fox couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "Great sentiment, Lin Qi friend!"

Lin Qi smiled and nodded in greeting and replied, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Fox."

Several people did not continue to ask questions, but Lin Qi continued to talk about some of his ideas. It must be said that these people have high reputations in the industry for a reason, and they soon summarized some practical content.

For example, from what angles should this documentary be shot? One of the things Lin Qi is very interested in is the progressive visual angle of "illegal" → "legal" → "above the law".

The person who proposed this idea was naturally the first Director to slap Federal in the face. In his original words, if people want to understand Nagaril, they want to know a real Nagaril.

Going to this place that I have never heard of before to develop, work hard, and struggle is definitely not for some great ideals and sentiments. He made a little sarcasm about the compliments between Lin Qi and Fox just now, but both of them pretended not to notice.

He believes that if you really want people to watch the documentary, just put on your backpack and buy a boat ticket to Nagaril. The best way is to restore a real "profiteering society" and tell them how to make money in those places, making money that they cannot make in Federal.

Even this is not a documentary related to the life and work of Federal People in Nagaril, this is a documentary about how to make money quickly in Nagaril.

This guy is really a genius! So Lin Qi chooses another Director.
