As for Fang Yanwu, he has been thinking about it since the article was sent to the newspaper.
At first, he was worried about when the article would be published in the "Literary and Art Newspaper". Although the editor had already told him the publishing time, he still went to the bookstore every day to pay attention to it, even though he knew clearly that the "Literary and Art Newspaper" was a weekly.
Later, when the "Literary News" finally published his article, he began to worry about whether Yu Dong would respond to him, when he would respond, and how he would respond.
There was a painting on Fang Yanwu's desk with a little bird on it. If Li Youxue saw it, he would definitely recognize the painting as the one Fang Yanwu was painting when he came to find Fang Yanwu.
This painting is exactly the same as the day Li You learned it. The wings have not been painted yet.
Fang Yanwu really didn't have the heart to care about the painting. He was preoccupied with Yu Dong's affairs. During this period, his wife said that she wanted to put it away for him, but he refused to let it go, saying that he would have to paint it later.
In his mind, he had already associated the continuation of the painting with the victory of this scolding battle, and he always wanted to wait for a happy victory before starting to continue the painting.
But Fang Yanwu was very conflicted in his heart. He was looking forward to Yu Dong replying to him, but he was also afraid that Yu Dong's reply would be too powerful. It would be best if Yu Dong could be scolded by him and get into a mess, and then reply with a few hysterical words.
In terms of content.
To put it bluntly, he desires to win, but is extremely afraid of losing.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Yu Dong must reply.
Fang Yanwu has been hanging around newsstands for the past two days, looking for Yu Dong's reply to his articles in newspapers and periodicals. There are so many places where articles can be published, and it is a bit difficult to find them. Therefore, he will also call Li Youxue and ask Li Youxue to help.
Notice.
Li Youxue always promised to make Fang Yanwu feel at ease. As soon as he hung up the phone, he cursed disdainfully: Fang Yanwu is getting more and more confused as he gets older. His article was only published two days ago. Even if he wants to reply, he can write like this.
Hurry, newspapers and magazines can't be distributed so quickly. It's weird to find them.
…
In fact, Yu Dong didn't even write. In the past two days, he and Bi Feiyu were busy assisting with the Deep Space Short Film Competition.
The so-called assistance actually means entertaining guests who come from afar, especially those judges.
The Deep Space Short Film Competition has quietly gone through a round of auditions, and thirty outstanding works were selected from more than one hundred submissions.
During the two days of the short film competition, a panel of judges headed by Guo Baochang will judge various awards among the thirty shortlisted works.
This time the judging panel has a total of eleven people, which is not a large number, but the lineup is quite dreamy.
Guo Bao is the permanent team leader, Zhang Yimou and Harold are the deputy team leaders, and the remaining eight people are Feng Xiaoning, Li Zhiyu, Liu Heng, Jiang Wen, Zhang Xian, Liu Weiqiang, Gu Changwei and Tian Zhuangzhuang.
In fact, the original invitation list was nine people, and Liu Weiqiang and Guo Baochang were added later.
Guo Baochang joined early, not long after the Deep Space Annual Meeting. At that time, Deep Space Company contacted Guo Baochang and expressed his willingness to cooperate in the filming of "The Mansion Gate". After repeated exchanges, the relationship between the two parties gradually became closer.
Seeing that there was hope for cooperation, Yuliang suggested adding Guo Baochang to the list of judges.
But there was a problem. The leader of the judging panel was decided to be Zhang Yimou. If Guo Baochang joined, in terms of seniority, it would be inappropriate for him not to be the leader. Guo Baochang was previously led by Zhang Yimou.
Just for this matter, Yuliang specifically talked to Zhang Yimou. After learning the news, Zhang Yimou was very straightforward and directly called Guo Baochang and invited Guo Baochang to be the leader of the judging panel.
Guo Baochang came a day early and was with Zhang Yimou.
"Teacher Guo, this is Yu Dong."
After meeting, Zhang Yimou introduced Yu Dong to Guo Baochang, but the latter smiled and said: "I don't need your introduction, I have already met Yu Dong in TV Mountain. This young face is really unforgettable."
Guo Baochang was inspired by this. When he knew about Yu Dong, it was because of "Death of a Widow". At that time, he knew that Zhang Yimou was going to film "Death of a Widow", and he went to find the novel to read it. From then on, he stayed
impression.
Later, he accidentally saw Yu Dong's appearance on TV. He was quite surprised. Although he had heard that Yu Dong was very young before, when he really saw Yu Dong's appearance on TV, it was still very different from the image he imagined.
.
Yu Dong shook hands with Guo Baochang and felt the power from the other's broad palm.
Guo Baochang's complexion was not good, and he had big bags under his eyes, giving people a very tired feeling, as if he had not slept for many days.
"Both of you, please take a seat."
Yu Dong smiled and invited the two of them to take a seat, and then hurriedly poured tea for them. While pouring the tea, he smiled and said: "You two are the first to come. The rest of the judging panel has not arrived yet, but except for Liu Weiqiang from Xiangjiang who will not arrive tomorrow, the other two
All eight of us can be here tonight."
Guo Baochang said with a smile, "Since I agreed to be the team leader, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility, so I should come early. I was very happy to learn that Deep Space Company is going to hold a film competition. Such competitions are more and more popular."
The more, the more domestic films will be able to develop."
"I think so too." Zhang Yimou nodded: "In the past two years, the domestic film and television industry has become increasingly new, and the reserve of talents must keep up, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee subsequent development. In this short film competition,
I'm quite concerned about the works of that guy Jia Zhangke."
"Jia Zhangke?" Guo Baochang was a little confused, "Which school are you a student from?"
"Jin Yi." Zhang Yimou replied with a smile.
"You are quite familiar with Jin Yi. What is so special about this classmate Jia Zhangke?"
At this time, Yu Dong came over with two cups of tea and said with a smile: "This guy is a professional in theater creation. There is nothing outstanding about him, but he likes to study. Director Zhang has been to Jinyi several times before and talked with him.
"
Zhang Yimou took the tea and said, "This guy has his own artistic pursuits. Although he is a drama creator, he is very talented as a director, so I am very curious about what kind of work he will contribute this time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well, this tea is good." Guo Baochang took a sip of tea, affirmed it, and said with a smile: "Aren't you affecting my judgment? Listen,
If you say so, I would also like to see how this classmate Jia Zhangke fares. By the way, how many students from the film school are participating this year?"
Zhang Yimou shook his head, "You asked me the wrong question. I don't know anything about it, but there are quite a few film school graduates among the judges."
"You don't need to tell me that I don't have a list of judges. Speaking of which, among the judges this time, there are quite a few people from your generation."
Yu Dong smiled and nodded: "Yes, in addition to Director Zhang, this year there are three teachers: Feng Xiaoning, Gu Changwei and Tian Zhuangzhuang, but none of them are from the directing department."
Guo Baochang laughed and said, "That's right. In your generation, except for Gu Changwei who is still working as a photographer, the others are not doing their jobs properly and have become directors to steal my job. But then again, as a director, you can learn anything.
Go ahead and become a director, the threshold is low."
Yu Dong knew that Guo Baochang was self-deprecating, so he did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject and asked about the situation of "The Great House Gate": "Years ago, I heard that Teacher Guo started writing "The Great House Gate" again. I don't know how he is writing it now.
How about that? I’ve been looking forward to it.”
Guo Baochang waved his hand, "Yu Dong, you are too flattering. Compared with you, what I wrote is really not worth mentioning. I have written this novel for many years and spent a lot of thought on it. I have also changed it every step of the way.
I have written a lot about it, and it is almost finished now. Deep space is very interesting to me, and we are talking about it."
Zhang Yimou joked: "Teacher Guo remember to leave a role for me when the time comes."
"Oh, you and I can't afford to hire an internationally renowned director. Besides, if I invite you to go, I will definitely play the leading role for you, but your age and image are not suitable for playing the leading role." Then Guo Baochang watched again.
Looking at Yu Dong, "To be honest, Yu Dong's looks are quite suitable for playing the leading role."
Yu Dong waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, I can't come."
He now has the sequelae of being on camera. When he was in the United States, several directors were thinking about him every day and asked him to make a cameo. So when Guo Bao often mentioned this matter, he had a big reaction.
Guo Baochang was amused by Yu Dong's reaction, "Haha, then you definitely can't come. I just said that your image is more in line with the protagonist when he was young."
Zhang Yimou said: "It is not impossible to let Yu Dong act. This drama will wait for a few years before filming. In the past few years, Yu Dong will be sent to the film school to study acting for two years, and then sent to other crews to sharpen their skills."
Practice for three or four years, and after five or six years, you will definitely be able to do it. The key is that he has a good memory, he is a teacher, and his voice condition is also good, so he can easily pass the line level."
Guo Baochang knew Zhang Yimou was joking, but he still nodded seriously and said: "Yes, this is a good idea. But in this way, although the film and television industry will have a good actor, the literary circle will lose a good writer, which is not cost-effective."
"Indeed, it's not cost-effective."
Yu Dong watched them singing in harmony, smiled and shook his head: "Don't make fun of me."
Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore, but what I said to Teacher Guo just now is not a joke. When the time comes, think of me for a role. If you don't want a leading role, I can do whatever it takes to be a trafficker, a sidekick, or a concierge. I'll pay for it too."
It’s easy to say, just have three meals a day, including steamed buns, meat and dried tea.”
Guo Baochang nodded, "Okay, I'll remember this and I'll arrange a role for you later. Don't default on your debt."
"That can't be done."
…
The three of them chatted in Yu Dong's office for a long time, and Jiang Jie took Tian Zhuangzhuang and Gu Changwei over.
This was the first time Yu Dong saw Tian Zangxang. This guy was not very trim, with a beard, dark skin, and messy hair. Although his clothes were clean, he gave people the feeling that he had just returned from working in the fields.
Very rustic.
He has a bold personality. As soon as they met, he held Yu Dong's hand before anyone introduced him, "I guess this is Yu Dong."
"Hello, Director Tian, ​​I am Yu Dong."
"As expected, it's you, I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time." Tian Zhuangxu shook Yu Dong's arm again.
Tian Zhuangzhuang speaks with a strong Yanjing accent, and his voice is also very thick, with some Jianghu flavor, so his Yanjing accent sounds different from Wang Shuo's.
After these two came, there were four film school graduates in the office.
Jiang Jie continued to pick up people, while Yu Dong poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile: "I think you might as well hold a film school alumni association this time. Now there are four of you in my office alone."
Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "You can imagine that people from the film school came to Jinyi to hold an alumni association."
"I think it's very good. Who stipulates that the alumni association must be held in one's own school? Just think about it, is it rare to gather so many alumni at Jinyi Academy, or is it rare to gather so many alumni at the Film School?" Tian Zhuangzhuang said.
"Of course it's rare for everyone to gather at Jinyi." Gu Changwei said.
"That's fine, so it would be more interesting to have an alumni meeting here. Teacher Guo, what do you think?"
Guo Baochang rolled his eyes and did not take advantage of this, "I asked you to be the judges, not to reminisce about the past."
He turned to look at Yu Dong again: "It starts tomorrow. I think it's better for us to talk about the competition first so that we can be prepared. Don't worry if there are any problems later that we didn't expect and we won't be able to deal with them in time."
Yu Dong nodded: "It's okay to chat, but don't worry, Mr. Guo, Deep Space Company has arranged everything properly, and the possibility of accidents is low. It's just that you will have to work hard in the next two days. Thirty Parts
Although the running time of the movie is relatively short, it took two days to watch it and select the rankings, so time was still a bit tight."
Guo Baochang pondered, "What I mean is, let's work harder tomorrow and watch all thirty short films, and then we can have the whole day to hold a meeting and discuss it. But I didn't get the movie list, so I don't know.
How long does thirty movies take?"
"I'll ask Jiang Jie to bring over some lists later. The works shortlisted this time are basically between fifteen and twenty minutes long, and rarely exceed twenty-five minutes. This includes the opening and closing credits."
"That's no problem. I watched five movies in two hours. Everyone worked overtime and finished them in more than ten hours." Guo Baochang said.
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was too cruel, watching movies for more than ten hours.
However, several other people had no objections to Guo Baochang's words, and they all nodded in agreement.
Guo Baochang is the leader of the judging panel this time. Since he said this, it is basically settled like this.
Later, other people from the group came over one after another. By the time we finished dinner in the evening, eight of the eleven people had come, and Liu Weiqiang, Jiang Wen, and Li Zhiyu were not there.
Liu Weiqiang won't arrive until tomorrow morning, and Jiang Wen and Li Zhiyu may not arrive until night, so Yu Dong didn't wait for them and took the eight people who had already arrived to dinner.
…
The next day, the Deep Space Short Film Competition officially began, and Jin Yi became lively.
In this short film competition, in addition to the participating directors and actors, there were also many media reporters and some film practitioners.
In addition to the room where the judges stayed, Jinyi also set up five screening rooms to play the thirty short films on a loop.
Moreover, each audience member invited to watch the movie will receive a viewing log issued by Deep Space. After watching the movie, they can truthfully record their feelings about the movie and rate the movie.
Different from the judges' awards, the short film will be played in a loop for seven days, which means that the short film competition will not end until the awards are over.
