When Zhang Yimou came to Jinyi to find Yu Dong, he was holding a copy of "People's Daily" in his hand. As soon as he arrived at the door, he smiled and thrust the newspaper into Uncle Zhou's hand.
"Uncle Zhou, today's new newspaper is still warm."
Uncle Zhou glanced at the words "People's Daily" and curled his lips and said: "Director Zhang, we are also acquaintances. You don't know what newspapers I usually like to read?"
"I know." Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "But you have to pay attention to today's issue."
"Really?" Uncle Zhou asked doubtfully.
"You turn to page four."
Uncle Zhou nodded, turned to the fourth page as Zhang Yimou said, and then saw a piece of news.
[The selection for the first "Lu Xun Literature Award" has begun.]
The news content is probably that the selection for the first Lu Xun Literature Award officially started yesterday, September 27th.
Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "This is for attention."
The selection of the Lu Xun Literature Award certainly has nothing to do with their janitor, but it has something to do with their Jinyi. There are several great writers living in the school.
"Tell me," Uncle Zhou said again, "Can Teacher Yu and the others get this award?"
"I dare not say that." Zhang Yimou smiled: "It depends on what the judges think. Of course, I think Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu are still very promising."
"Where are Mo Yan and Yu Hua?" Uncle Zhou asked.
"Oh, this award only evaluates short and medium stories, and the range is from 1995 to 1996. Didn't Mo Yan and Yu Hua not write many short and medium stories in those two years?"
"That's it." Uncle Zhou nodded suddenly, and then muttered: "It seems that I want to study this award."
Zhang Yimou laughed: "Okay, you study it, I'm in."
Uncle Zhou nodded: "Go."
…
When Zhang Yimou arrived at his employer's house, Bi Feiyu and Mo Yan were also there.
Seeing Zhang Yimou arriving, Mo Yan said with a smile: "I was talking about you."
"Me?" Zhang Yimou was a little surprised. He glanced at the People's Daily on the coffee table, "I thought you were talking about the Lu Xun Literature Prize."
"No, our department took over the task of designing the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting. Just as I was talking about this, Lao Bi mentioned it when he knew you were coming today and said that he could ask you to help." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, we were just chatting." Bi Feiyu said.
He was talking nonsense, but Zhang Yimou seemed to be interested, "Is your school sports meeting very big?"
"The scale of our school sports meeting is not big, but the opening ceremony has always been good. As an art school, the students like to do some tricks, including all kinds of weird square formations. The most classic one is from Yu Yuanwai
Teacher Jiacheng takes the lead role in "Holy Sound to Exorcise Ghosts."
"Nonsense, some holy music can drive away ghosts."
"Don't deny it, I have a video to prove it."
Yu Dong twitched his lips, he could still remember the opening ceremony, where the phalanxes of Xichuang and Gongmei were in tandem, and the demons danced wildly.
"When is your school sports meeting?" Zhang Yimou asked.
Mo Yan glanced at Zhang Yimou with a smile, "Why, Lao Mouzi, you really want to help."
Zhang Yimou nodded unexpectedly, "Okay, I don't have much to do lately anyway. "No One Left Behind" won't be released until next year, and I haven't taken on any other roles recently. I only have two jobs. One is a guest appearance on the set of "The Mansion Gate"
, and the other one is "Golden Dreamland". The latter one will definitely take a lot of time to complete. In this case, I might as well stay in Jinling for a while and organize an opening ceremony for you."
Bi Feiyu looked surprised, "You really want to do it, I thought you were joking."
Yu Dong sat aside and said nothing, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Zhang Yimou was associated with the opening ceremony, which reminded Yu Dong of the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony.
Although Zhang Yimou has not yet directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, as a director who has won awards from three major film festivals, to direct the opening ceremony of a school sports meeting in an ordinary university is really a bit of a killing.
mean.
"Actually, I also want to find something to do for myself during the time when I am not working, so as to maintain a sense of tension." Zhang Yimou said.
Bi Feiyu looked at Zhang Yimou and confirmed again: "Director Zhang, are you sure? If you are sure, I will go and talk to Zhang Xian now."
Zhang Yimou did not hesitate, smiled and nodded, "OK."
"Okay!" Bi Feiyu patted his thigh and stood up, "Just wait for me for a while, I'll go find Zhang Xian."
Zhang Xian also lives here in the apartment building now, so it is very convenient to find him. Only two minutes later, Bi Feiyu dragged Zhang Xian here.
Zhang Xian was pulled by him and kept asking: "Lao Bi, tell me what the situation is, what are you doing, robbing someone?"
"You'll know soon."
"What's wrong with you?"
The two of them dragged themselves into Yu Dong's house. When Zhang Xian saw Zhang Yimou, he smiled and said hello, "It turns out that Director Zhang is here. Lao Bi is such a person. He didn't say anything. He just pulled me away when he came to my house.
My arm was almost broken by him."
Zhang Yimou responded with a smile, "Director Zhang, long time no see."
"Long time no see, long time no see." Zhang Xian rubbed his arm, "It must have been more than half a year. I haven't seen you since the last Deep Space Annual Meeting."
Bi Feiyu smiled and said: "Don't dwell on the past, Lao Zhang, aren't you worried about the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting? I will solve it for you."
Zhang Xian said confusedly: "What do you mean you solved it for me? I asked you to give me an idea before, but you still resisted. Either you have a stomachache or you are inspired to create. How can you solve it for me?"
"I can't solve the opening ceremony, but I found you someone who can solve it."
Zhang Xian understood what Bi Feiyu meant. He looked at Zhang Yimou in surprise: "You mean, Director Zhang..."
"That's right! Director Zhang has agreed to help us arrange the opening ceremony."
Zhang Yimou nodded in agreement: "I agreed, but I don't know if I will have this opportunity."
Zhang Xian clapped his hands and smiled and said: "That's so good, it's so good that it can't be better. I'm also thinking about letting theater creators and directing students run it. Now it's directly upgraded to be in line with international standards."
As he said this, he rubbed his palms together again and said, "Students majoring in directing are lucky now. They will definitely learn a lot with the master personally demonstrating."
Zhang Yimou said modestly: "It can only be said that we learn from each other. I have no experience in this area. This is also an opportunity for me to broaden my artistic horizons."
"Director Zhang is too humble."
…
In this way, it was decided by his employer that Zhang Yimou would serve as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Jinyi School Sports Meet.
