Section 188: Industry Summit

(The trivial matters are finally finished, reply to normal updates, work hard to write, strive to explode, and at the same time, ask for subscriptions, subscribe and subscribe!)

Although he was a little curious about Ying Qiao, Duane was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to contact others because of curiosity, especially Ying Qiao wanted to write the words "Do not disturb" on his face, so the two of them did not have any communication during the entire driving process, and the long driving time passed by just a little bit.

"What's going on?"

Duan said, putting the things in his hand on the table and looking at Shu Yu opposite him.

This is Shu Yu's office. Shu Yu was still working as usual, so he raised his head when he entered the door and ignored him.

Hearing Du An's words, Shu Yu raised her head from a pile of documents and did not answer him immediately, but asked back: "I got my driver's license?"

Duane shook his head, "Not yet."

He naturally pulled open the chair and sat down, as leisurely as if he was at his own home. Then he pointed to the thing on the table, "What's going on?"

The thing he pointed to was an envelope, a dark red cover and a small gold-plated lettering. It looked very beautiful and high-end.

Shu Yu picked up the beautiful envelope, looked at it, opened it, and took out a gold-burned invitation from it. The front said "Invitation Letter for the 2005 Annual Industrial Summit of China Directors Union", with the words "Slim Gold Style" and very beautiful. When she opened it, she found that there were some invitations, indicating the time and location of the meeting, the invitation and the invited person, etc., a series of detailed information.

Duan has been busy with his own affairs for a while and has no time to come to DreamWorks. If he hadn't received this inexplicable thing today, he wouldn't have come to Shu Yu's office.

While she was reading the invitation, he asked again: "What will this be done when I received it today?"

He has been busy making movies for the past two years. He has basically not cared about the news in the entertainment industry except for the release of his own movies, so he doesn't know what this industrial summit is. However, Shu Yu knows more about this circle than him and should know it, so he came to the door. At the same time, the two of them have not seen each other for a long time, so they came to chat.

Shu Yu knew much more about the entertainment industry than he did, and immediately gave the answer, "You can understand the industrial meeting of the Directors' Union as an annual meeting, but the group of people you are directors are not very reliable. Others usually hold at the end of the year. If you have to hold the Huabiao Awards, you have to show some difference. Why, have you joined the Directors' Union?"

Duane nodded, "Well, I joined in the first half of the year." As a director, he has always been a wild path and has not even joined the director's union. It is really not a big deal. Then he found some time to get this matter done this year.

"There are really many Communist Party," Duan sighed and asked another question: "Can you not go to this meeting?"

It was said on the invitation that the meeting was held in Hengdian, and it was a waste of time this time, so he really didn't want to go there.

Shu Yu said: "I suggest you better go," said Shu Yu, after that, he explained, "No matter which industry you do, you need communication and connections. The director's industry is also the industry. This industry summit is to gather the directors in the director's union to hold a meeting and communicate with each other. On this, you can meet many people, such as Zhang Yi, Xu Ke, and Tang Jili, whom you just competed for, you can all know each other. There are many benefits. For example, if you know Zhang Yi and have a good relationship, maybe one day you need to film, and that actor is unwilling to come. If he and Zhang Yi have a good relationship, you can persuade him through Zhang Yi, and maybe things will be done. There are still many such things in the circle, and you will know more and more ways to get to know more people."

After hearing Shu Yu's words, Du An thought about it and it seemed like this: some actors in the circle can't come by just paying money, especially some popular big-name actors. Whether they are starring in a film is more about their self-psychological expectations and interpersonal relationships about the film. After all, they can reach that level and are not short of money, and it is still easy to get money if they want money. At this moment, it is still very important to have a good connection.

There is no need to worry about "Liberation Day". With Han Sanping, the big guy who is dealing with it, the needs of actors should be quite easy to satisfy. But what about after filming "Liberation Day"? He has to go back to his own way of working alone. By then, some actors are not something he can do if he wants to, so it is really necessary to start expanding his connections now.

Especially his connections are too narrow.

Du An recalled and sorted out his memories and found that his circle was so small: in the actor industry, only Jia Hongsheng, Zhu Qian, Zhang Jiayi, and Chen Kun could match him. The directors in the same industry only knew Ning Hao. In the future, when they needed an assistant director, they could only look for him through the director's union. It was really inefficient.

"Then I'll go."

Duane made the decision.

As soon as I finished speaking, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

When I answered it, a thick male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is it Director Du An or Du?"

"Yes, it's me."

"That's right. We are the organizer of this year's Directors' Union Industry Summit in 2005. After unanimous consultation, we decided to invite you to speak at the closing ceremony of the Industry Summit. We hope you can prepare your speech in advance and submit it to us for review three days before the summit date..."

After talking to the person on the other end of the phone for a long time, Du An hung up the phone and smiled bitterly at Shu Yu, "It seems that it's impossible not to go this time."

Then he saw Shu Yu staring at him and asked, "Let you speak?" Obviously, she also heard something from Duane's words just now.

Duane nodded, "That's right."

Shu Yu asked again: "When will you make a speech, or when will the opening ceremony be held or when the meeting is halfway through?"

Duan said: "Closing Ceremony." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shu Yu's eyes widen slightly. He knew Shu Yu's familiarity with Shu Yu, which was a sign of Shu Yu's surprise.

"Closing Ceremony?" Shu Yu repeated the word, then pursed her lips and said nothing.

Duane was a little strange about her reaction and couldn't help asking: "Is there any problem with the closing ceremony?"

Shu Yu thought for a while before saying, "I know something about your meeting. Generally speaking, those who spoke at the closing ceremony in previous years and made summary statements were all top directors and representative figures, such as Xu Ke, Zhang Yi and others," she said, looking at Du An for a few more glances before shook her head. "You have too little experience, and it is logical that it is impossible for you to speak at the closing ceremony."

Du An stopped talking after hearing Shu Yu's words.

I know it myself. Although he has been very popular in the past two years, especially this year, especially now, he is a supernova with a supernova, but he has always been a new star. With all his plans, he has only been a director for two years. His qualifications are too shallow. Compared with those top directors who have accumulated more than ten years of history, he still has some shortcomings. Now, how can he squeeze those big directors down to be the representative figure?

The two were thinking about this when Duan's cell phone rang again. He took it out and saw another strange number.

Are you here today?

Duan thought about it, picked up the phone, connected it, and put it in his ear, "Hey?"

"Director Duand?"

A sound came from the other end of the phone, as if I had heard it somewhere.

Duane said, "It's me." Then he heard the person on the phone say, "I'm Zhang Yimou."

Zhang Yi?!

This is a legendary figure, and he can be called the world's biggest brother. If you have to be called the king of the world in the film industry, then it is undoubtedly him.

Zhang Yimou, born in 1950, joined the team and worked as a worker. Later, he entered the Beijing Film Academy Photography Department and never studied directors. Strictly speaking, it was also a wild path. However, this person is indeed a genius. He served as a photographer of the movie "One and Eight" for the first time in 1984, and won the Huabiao Award for Best Photography. It is amazing that this is a genius photographer, the hope of the Chinese photography industry, but this person is not satisfied with the photography industry and starred in his first movie "The Well" in 1986.

A genius photographer with a bright future was not good, and he came to be an actor. Everyone was not optimistic about him. As a result, with his outstanding performance in the film, Zhang Yi won three actors in the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and Huabiao, which made everyone who was not optimistic about him fall into the ground. It turns out that this guy's talent in acting is even more amazing!

A genius actor, with a bright future!

But Zhang Yi was probably born restless. He just won three actors. The film contract was just like snowflakes. He abandoned his identity as an actor and changed career to become a director. The media and public opinion was a shocking photographing and performance. They were all relatively single technical jobs. However, the director needs to know too much. It is an overview technology industry. Can you be an actor who has a photography background? This is too arrogant.

But Zhang Yi's performance made everyone speechless.

After his first film, "Red Sorghum", which he changed to direct, received a box office of 47 million yuan in China after its release. This was an astonishing number in the economic situation in China that year. Moreover, "Red Sorghum" won the Huabiao Award for Best Picture the following year, which was a record at that time. This was the first time someone directed a film and won the Huabiao Award for Best Picture the Huabiao Award for Best Picture.

This also proves to the world that he is not a master of vision. He does have talent, talent for photography, talent for acting, talent for director... This guy seems to be an all-round genius who plays art and business well. He witnessed how Chinese films are gradually becoming brilliant and fueling the fire. The unprecedented high box office set by his filming "Hero" has opened the chapter of the glorious era of Chinese films.

In today's terms, this guy is a cheating existence, blinding the eyes of the whole world and letting people know that geniuses are really not measured by common sense.

Du An himself is already considered a genius, but compared to Zhang Yi, he is still a little bit like a big witch. When Du An, who is reading an online novel recently, was even a little doubtful that Zhang Yi, the monster, had also been reborn from the future, but he did not expect that this legendary character would call him.
