Section 193: Network
Conferences are never boring, and this industry summit held by the Directors Union cannot escape this curse.
In the next few days, Du An came on time every day like a little monk, and he was chatting with Jia Zhangke below, feeling that he had no gains. However, he did not really want to gain anything when attending the meeting. It was mainly to make friends and expand his connections. Du An still gained a lot at this point.
Lu Chuan, Huang Jianxin, Zhou Xingchi, Li Shaohong, Xu Jinglei... These are the people he met through the meetings in the past two days, and they all exchanged contact information with each other.
Among these people, Li Shaohong took over his "Saw" series and threw him as the main creator aside. Although it was mainly a bullshit thing Rising Film and Television did, Li Shaohong was also the current director of the "Saw" series. It is logical that there should be some gap between the two, but among these people Du An was the one who chatted with Li Shaohong the most, rather than Lu Ship, who is also from Sujiang with him.
And now he was pressing his phone in his own position and sending a message to Li Shaohong.
"Sister Hong, what are you going to eat tonight?"
After sending the message out, he looked up at the Professor Beijing Radio and Television on the stage who was standing in front of the curtain and talking nonstop.
The main contents of this industrial summit are as follows: discuss and formulate and improve standardized processes for industry issues that arise in the director industry in the past year, introduce and discuss new technologies and experimental means that emerge in the past year, and put forward opinions and prospects for future industry plans.
Now this professor from Beijing Film Academy is talking about a new editing technique they have recently developed. The name is very fantastic. The Taiyi editing method Duane thinks that the person who came up with this name must be a classical literature enthusiast with a high-end atmosphere. He was embarrassed to hear it.
The professor has been emphasizing that the emergence of this new editing method will have a change in the directors' shooting techniques, but in Duane's view, the fantasy and unreliable editing method is just a variant of cross editing, with only some small things added. He tried to substitute this method into several films he had filmed, and found that the experimental meaning of this method is still too strong, pure laboratory product. It is unrealistic, and only these professors in the academy will think it is so awesome.
Judging from the drowsy reactions around him, it was obviously similar to his thoughts.
However, film technology has been largely accumulated and developed by countless such unreliable technologies, so for the emergence of new technologies, directors have always been with the greatest tolerance, and may a new reliable technology appear? Even in unreliable, they can find bright spots.
This is also the reason why this professor of Beijing Electric can even give a speech with such an unreliable technology.
The phone was shocked, Du An lowered his head and clicked it. It was Li Shaohong's message: "Whatever you want. Make a decision, don't be as hot as yesterday."
Jia Zhangke next to him also looked over and said, "What do you mean?"
Seeing him like this, Duane obviously couldn't wait to go for dinner.
“Don’t be too spicy,”
Du An glanced at him and said, "I heard from Lao Xu that there is a Huaiyang restaurant on two streets next to him, which is quite delicious. She often goes there when she comes here to film, or just go there to eat?"
Old Xu here is not Xu Ke, but Xu Jinglei.
Jia Zhangke nodded, "Okay, I don't choose either, just like that. By the way, who tonight will go?"
Du An counted, "You, me, Sister Hong, Lao Xu, Brother Huang." Speaking of this, Du An pushed the person on his right hand, "Brother Chuan, go for dinner together later?"
On his left is Jia Zhangke and on his right is Lu Chuan. At this moment, Lu Chuan also held a cell phone and kept sending messages. After hearing his inquiries, he looked up and glanced at him, shook his head, "No, there is something to do."
Duan nodded clearly. "Okay."
Lu Chuan is not bad, he has a little bit of dignity and a lot of intestines. In the past few days since he met, Duan has heard about him from several people: this guy is gradually becoming successful and famous, and there are many people rushing towards him, and his little thoughts have begun to arouse, and he heard that he is having a divorce.
Judging from his current appearance, I don’t know if Xiaomi made a special trip to Hengdian.
"Then there should be only these."
Du An turned his head and said this to Jia Zhangke.
Jia Zhangke joked: "Okay, then that's it. Huaiyang cuisine is exquisite, and a plate is only a little bit. It's just a matter of two bites, and you'll be the big one."
Duane smiled and said nothing.
After learning about it over the past few days, he realized how weird he was: he has never seen a director like him who has saved up hundreds of millions of dollars in two years. Even if he doesn't talk about his last year, only in terms of wealth, there are only a few directors with wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars, so he is really a rare nouveau riche among directors, so he deserves to take over the past two days of activities and spends money happily.
After finally reaching the end of today's meeting, Du An and the others made an appointment first, and then went back upstairs to rest. Seeing that it was getting late, they went to the restaurant in advance, got a private room, and then sent the detailed address to several other people.
Scattered, people gradually came.
Du An looked around and found that everyone was here: Jia Zhangke, Xu Jinglei, Li Shaohong, Huang Jianxin, and himself.
From the personnel composition, we can also see that the geographical differences in the director circle are indeed quite serious, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although Duan felt that the three regions of the Taiwan Strait were one and there was no need to distinguish them, it was obvious that the differences in regions were indeed quite obvious in daily interactions. Whether it was food, language or daily affairs, each place had its own style, and it was indeed easier to talk about the same region.
Huang Jianxin, who arrived at the last time, had just put down his clothes, looked around, and asked, "Where is Xiao Lu?"
Jia Zhangke smiled meaningfully, "I have something to do."
Everyone present knew about Lu Chuan’s broken matter, so there was no need to mention it. Huang Jian, Shinyan, shook his head, and didn’t say much, sat down. On this side, Du An discussed with Li Shaohong about the "Saw" series.
"...I don't think it's a horror movie. You must shoot it in the horror movie mode. Plasma, scare, etc., these things must be there, but they should not be horror for the sake of horror. It should have its own things, such as brain-burning logical reasoning. This is why "Saw" was attractive at the beginning."
Du An told Li Shaohong about his thoughts.
"Saw 3" is still directed by Li Shaohong, and the preliminary shooting has been completed. It will be released in the second half of the year after it is completed. If nothing unexpected happens, "Saw 4" will also be launched for filming. Rising also said that it has been done. If nothing unexpected happens, the director of the fourth part will still be Li Shaohong.
Although the reputation of "Saw 2" is not very good, the box office results are visible. Rising is quite satisfied with this and is willing to believe in Li Shaohong. However, Li Shaohong feels that the more she films, she becomes more and more confused. She finally got to know Du An. Come and listen to how this original writer understands this series of movies and learns from the scriptures.
Duane continued: "Even if it's not that bloody, it's OK, but the most central thing must be grasped, and the relationship between the front and back must be implemented well. If I were asked to film, I would rather continue the story of the first part, discover more related characters, and follow this line. After all, the first time the audience came into contact with this movie was "Saw 1". They are more familiar with the characters in it, and to be honest, there are many loopholes in the first part. I think the series behind can follow these loopholes and fill them in bit by bit."
He paused at this point and smiled, "It was a bit confusing, and I don't know if you can understand it."
Li Shaohong thoughtful, "It seems to understand a little..."
Du An looked at Li Shaohong and said, "Actually, what I said is just a suggestion. It is up to you to decide how to shoot this series of movies by Sister Hong. Now this is your movie, not mine."
What he said is heartfelt: He always has a special feeling for "Saw", which is his first movie, and people always pay special attention to his first time, and Duane is the same. The "Saw" series is like his child, and he hopes that the child can grow up well, and what he said at the beginning was his own planning for the growth route of this child.
But at the same time, he also saw that the guardian of the child has changed from him to Li Shaohong.
From his own standpoint, he hoped that Li Shaohong could raise this child according to the route he said before, but from the perspective of his friend, he still hoped that Li Shaohong would not shoot like this, then the director of this movie would be Du Ann, not Li Shaohong, which is a very sad thing.
The two were chatting here, but there was already dissatisfaction.
"Okay, haven't you both heard enough at the meeting yet? You are still talking about business after coming to have a meal. Are you excited but not excited?"
The one who spoke was Xu Jinglei.
If Duan is a rare handsome director in the director circle, then Xu Jinglei is a rare beautiful director in the director circle.
This director, who was an actor, had been acting for less than two years and had "changed his mind" and joined the ranks of directors. Moreover, his first two works were extraordinary and showed outstanding aura. Therefore, it is recognized as both talented and beautiful, and the media unanimously called him a talented woman.
There are more beauties in the film and television industry, but only a few are called talented women.
Huang Jianxin spoke at this time, "Hey, we are directors, why don't we talk about business?" After that, he smiled at Du An and said, "Xiao Du, I see that you and Shaohong are so excited, so I'll talk about business with you too. I'm idle now. Look, will you introduce me to a job? I heard that you are going to make a blockbuster movie. If the position of this director is still there, you, the boss, see if I am suitable for brother? If the requirements are not high, just take care of the meal."
Du An was shocked when he heard this.
What's the situation? After Zhang Yi, why did Huang Jianxin volunteer to be an assistant director for himself? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
