Social skills have always been a weapon in the minds of many viewers in the entertainment industry.
Usually, we may have seen some glimpses of some entertainment industry stars on various occasions.
However, if you ask young directors how they communicate with people in the industry, you may be confused.
It just so happens that recently "Let's Shoot" has shown you a social picture book of real filmmakers.
01
As a director, the two most important objects that you need to face are actors and investors.
Therefore, the first task given to the six young directors by the program team is to exert their eloquence, to win the participation of actors for their upcoming short films, as well as the recognition of the investors of the Green Lantern Club and the funds in their hands.
Speaking of the Green Lantern Festival, the program team has gone to great lengths to invite four top filmmakers, including director Chen Kaige, writer Liu Zhenyun, actor Shu Qi, and producer Chen Sicheng.
To be honest, it's really a bit "scary" to watch. No wonder the little sister of Zhang Jingyi, a newcomer actor who came to help the young director, was nervous to rub her hands.
So next, the filmmakers in the social field, in this way in front of the audience slowly unfolded.
The first to come to us were two representatives of social bovine disease.
Yi Xiaoxing, as a comedy film director, has naturally become the brightest star in the social field.
From actors to Green Lantern investors, there are more or less his acquaintances. Even if he was not familiar with it, Yi Xiaoxing could use his three-inch tongue to talk about it.
For example, when facing Zhang Jingyi, Yi Xiaoxing said that he once wanted to change his name to "Yi Xiaoxing", which means Zhang Jingyi's little star.
However, although Yi Xiaoxing is good at socializing, he has made the mistake of having a casual attitude and not being able to distinguish between occasions.
In communicating with the actors, he casually gave his promise to every actor present, telling them that there must be their role in his short film.
This led to the public selection of actors, Yi Xiaoxing fell into the embarrassing scene of "Neptune manifestation", obviously promising six, but in the end he could only choose two.
In the follow-up meeting with Green Lantern investors, Yi Xiaoxing also performed unsatisfactorily. He walked in confidently, only to get no response from investors for the first sentence, and the whole embarrassment.
In order to alleviate this embarrassing scene, Yi Xiaoxing made his second fatal joke -
"After seeing so many teachers here, I feel particularly strange, how did you get mixed in Zhang Shaogang?"
And the investors who heard this joke had a bee like:
I talk to you about the movie, you put this aside to tell me a paragraph? Isn't it a little bit of a lack of attention to our communication?
However, fortunately, Yi Xiaoxing's mentality is good, or slowly stabilized.
In the follow-up conversation, he was very frank about the reason why he came to this show, that is, he hoped to make up for the shortcomings and improve himself.
With this sincerity, Yi Xiaoxing finally pulled the scene back, successfully impressed investors, and won the target investment funds for himself.
Wang Luodan, who has similar social attributes to Yi Xiaoxing, is much smoother than him.
As an actor, Wang Luodan still has great advantages in the show, such as she knows more people than Yi Xiaoxing.
Especially in the process of meeting actors, basically everyone who comes is within the scope of her circle of friends, and in the venture capital session.
Even director Chen Kaige is an acquaintance of the movie "Search" with whom she once collaborated.
In the face of the unfamiliar Shu Qi, she also naturally said that she had once used her as a screensaver, and suddenly brought them closer.
But unlike Yi Xiaoxing's casualness, Wang Luodan began to walk into this field, and there was one word that stood out: "attention".
Compared with others, she put a lot of effort into dressing, and a black and white shirt made people feel the business magnetic field instantly.
In the end, even without directing experience, Wang Luodan successfully persuaded Liu Zhenyun to invest 800,000 yuan in her short film with her sincere expression.
Therefore, being good at socializing, and even having a lot of acquaintances in the social field, can indeed help you take the lead in the social field.
But even so, we should also distinguish between the formal and casual occasions, and grasp the boundaries and measures of communication with people in order to win the final victory.
02
Of course, social terrorist players are not without a way out in the social field.
For example, director Hao Jie, he is a complete "social fear", all the expressions highlight a single knife straight.
In the casting process, he has no way to accurately express himself with the actor. In the face of Guo Zifan asking whether there is a suitable role for him in the script, he is embarrassed to answer no, and can only smile awkwardly.
In the face of his target actor Zhang Jingyi, Hao Jie just stumbled and threw down a sentence: "The actor who meets this age is you", and did not say a word.
Zhang Jingyi could only leave with a confused face after listening, saying in the interview that she did not know how to respond to his words.
In the end, Hao Jie naturally became the only director who did not choose an actor.
However, the social fear returned to the social fear, and Hao Jie's heart was still like a mirror.
As mentioned earlier, Hao Jie was not able to win the participation of live actors. In fact, Zhang Jingchu actually took the initiative to express to him his willingness to join, but he refused.
Because Zhang Jingchu did not conform to the image of this role in Hao Jie's mind, even if he was sorry for Zhang Jingchu, who took the initiative to release his good intentions, he still did not agree.
This also makes people feel more deeply that Hao Jie's original intention and persistence in the film is the hottest.
When Chen Kaige and Zhang Shaogang asked him if he would cooperate with the investor's request to change the script, he also kept expressing his insistence -
"If I can't understand the structure of my knowledge, especially before the shooting starts, I can't accept it, that is, in some things, I can't compromise."
Then, he humorously and euphemistically emphasized again: "I am not a matter of discipline, I will have nightmares for many years, I can't stand it, my heart is small." ”
It is worth mentioning that don't look at Hao Jie's "old and humble" now, but when he was young and crazy and claimed to replace Chen Kaige, he once said: "Investors don't care whether I am good or not, the important thing is that you have to be good to the movie." ”
Although he was young and crazy, it was precisely with this uncompromising stubborn spirit and increasingly refined talent that Hao Jie was able to impress Shu Qi and Chen Kaige, two investors.
Chen Kaige commented that Hao Jie was a very lonely person, but he twisted a light bulb on the roof and turned on the light when it was lit, which was a movie.
A series of golden sentences made netizens sigh: "Kaishen is Kaishen, and the summary is in place." ”
Like Hao Jie, Peng Youlun, who is not good at socializing, is also such a straightforward and sincere style in social.
She used a simple sentence "Do you want to accompany me on an adventure" and was recognized by Zhang Jingyi.
At the same time, Peng Youlun is also a person who treats movies sincerely and has his own persistence.
When talking to investors, she talked about how for various reasons, her last film work could not satisfy herself.
She sincerely expressed her shortcomings to the investors and also proposed her idea of shooting short films for herself.
With this sincerity, Peng Youlun also successfully won the recognition of investors and obtained funds.
Chen Sicheng is very confident that she can make a good work, and also said that he is willing to help her rebuild her self-confidence.
Hao Jie and Peng Youlun proved with their own experience that even if they are socially afraid, there is no need to go against themselves and make expressions that do not conform to their own wishes.
As long as you have a sincere attitude and have real materials, you can naturally usher in your own spring.
03
And the directors Desert and Hu Guohan, as the two youngest directors in the show, also show us a social model exclusive to young people.
Their performance in the social field is to highlight a comfortable one, and they will naturally express what they think of, and will not add a high-sounding reason for themselves.
When the desert first entered the green light meeting, he would also be a little cramped because of nervousness, but he generously said that the first time he experienced such an occasion, he was really nervous.
And the desert must not have expected to "die" not long after sitting down, after being tortured by Chen Kaige's soul, a "fierce man shed tears" came on the spot.
Originally, Chen Kaige pointed out to the point that the desert is actually the "male protagonist" of "I Want Us together".
And then Chen Kaige exploded the golden sentence: "People in love love the whole world", which not only poked the desert, but also made countless netizens moved.
In the interview, when Desert was asked what was the biggest motivation for coming to this show, he also said very directly, because his ex-girlfriend likes to watch variety shows, she may be able to see me on the show.
Of course, this is not the so-called standard answer in the social environment in most people's minds, but it is the truest idea in the desert heart.
Hu Guohan, who is also a post-90s generation, was also able to talk about his profession when he faced Chen Kaige's questions.
The professionalism and calmness of this Q&A made Hu Guohan shine with his professionalism in the social field, and also won the recognition of investors.
Even though they are both young people and do not have so-called advanced social skills, they are also able to express themselves in a way that makes themselves comfortable, and find their place in the social field.
Will fire conclusion -
The young directors in the program have different personalities, different social methods, and their own ideals and pursuits, so I am more and more looking forward to what kind of surprises they can bring to me.
Just as there is never more than one way to survive in the social field, the colorful world is the most beautiful scenery.
Seeing this, I believe that everyone has also understood -
The social scene of filmmakers is not as complicated as many people think, and the reason why everyone gets together and communicates is because they have a common love: movies.
In this circle, whether you are a social cow, a social fear, or a social white without any experience;
As long as you have talent and have a love for the film industry from the inside out, you can naturally make close friends and impress investors with sincere expression.
Because the most important thing in the social field is never to change glasses and lights, but a sincere heart.
