0104 【Director's Party】

After the meeting of the new film, Wan Xiaohu was quite proud. The media had to report on how good the "Butterfly Effect" was, which inspires domestic science fiction films, and some more people gave Wan Xiaohu the title of Chinese science fiction film master. The media praised the film sales, and the sales of Wang Zhonglei's phone almost never stopped ringing.

Zhou Xun, Chen Kun continued to promote the following promotion of "Butterfly Effect", while Wan Xiaohu was busy participating in the directors' exchanges and social engagements.

Whatever Chinese people call it, they like to add the word "circle".

Entertainment, film, director circle.

A circle proves well that everyone likes to join in groups. If you want to be in the Chinese film industry, you can’t be too independent. You must integrate yourself into it. You can praise me and I and you, and you can get benefits with harmony.

When Wan Xiaohu is free at night, he will also think about what he is trying to make trouble in the muddy waters of the entertainment industry.

Logically speaking, as a reborn person, Dake held his head up and acted like "the world is full of our generation" and rushed around in the entertainment industry. Then he was ridiculed by others, and then slapped back in the face with a thunderbolt. Finally, he jumped on his horse and whipped the country, and became the king in the Chinese film industry.

But the fact is that human feelings are like a net, and when you get involved, you will be waiting to sink. Without the confidence, you will not be able to get rid of it at all.

People carry people in flower sedan chairs.

If someone respects you, do you want to hit you back with a stern face?

Anyone who understands will choose, accept the other person's foot and then respect the ten feet back.

For example, on the afternoon of the 20th, Zhang Yimou invited several directors from Beijing Film Academy to have a dinner together. Does Wan Xiaohu still put on airs? Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yuan, Guan Hu, Senior Lu, Sun Zhou, Feng Xiaoning, He Qun, and Zhang Yimou, this party is almost one of the most active directors of Beijing Film Academy at this stage.

Even if Wan Xiaohu is a little idiotic, he will not offend so many people.

So, it passed early in the morning and was in a high-end club in Beining.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Yuan and Wang Xiaoshuai were responsible for greeting him. When they saw Wan Xiaohu, they shouted: "Xiaohu, when will you treat you? "Butterfly Effect" is now praised. The box office will definitely not be bad at the beginning. You can only make a splash when the directors of Beijing Film Academy."

Wan Xiaohu shook hands with Wang Xiaoshuai and said with a smile: "Isn't this not released yet? Now during the publicity period, the media will give you face. At that time, it will be necessary to see if the audience is willing to pay for money to enter the cinema."

"I'm still good at getting a cheaper one." Wang Xiaoshuai said angrily, "My "Dream Country" has been released for three shows, and I can't find a media that I'm willing to report. Comparing people with others will make people angry. No, I have to get you drunk and beat you up today to relieve my anger."

"Don't let me drink, I can't drink anymore. If I drink it again, I will burn my stomach and perforate it." Wan Xiaohu hurriedly begged for mercy. He was really afraid of drinking. He had just been reborn for a while and thought that this kind of social engagement was very good. At least it proved that he had become a character. But if he really drank every day, he had no taste except for vomiting.

Zhang Yuan hugged Wan Xiaohu and said, "We can't make the decision today. It depends on what Director Zhang, Director Sun and Director He meant."

Director Zhang is Zhang Yimou. There are so many five generations of directors in Beijing Film Academy, and only he and Chen Kaige can call him the word "big". Director Sun is Sun Zhou, and he has not many works, but he has a great influence in the industry. He is a great man who enjoys special allowances from the State Council. Director He is He Qun, the one who opened fire on Feng Xiaogang at the domestic new film exhibition.

When we arrived at the wing room, Zhang Yimou, Sun Zhou, He Qun and Feng Xiaoning were playing poker.

"Is Xiaohu here?" He Qun said hello while throwing down a pair of 2s.

"Ah, where are you fighting against the landlord?" Wan Xiaohu moved a bench and watched the battle behind Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou said "No", then turned his head and said to Wan Xiaohu: "You young men, why don't you have any idea of ​​time? The four old guys all played cards here, but you haven't come yet. Where have Guan Hu and Xiaolu been there?"

"I don't know. I received your call and haven't gotten up yet. I drank with a few film dealers at noon, and I was dizzy. I delayed for a while." Wan Xiaohu said, and yawned.

“It seems that the Butterfly Effect sells well?”

"Fortunately, didn't China Film Group put their transaction here? We also went around. Basically, publishers from all over the country have decided to buy it, and the price and share are still being discussed."

Sun Zhou gave out four threes, killed He Qun's one-on-two, and then teased and said, "Zhang Yuan, Xiaoshuai and the others have been filmed for several years, but they don't add up to the box office of a movie. Now "Butterfly Effect" is selling so well again, why don't you jump off the building in shame?"

Zhang Yuan said with a broken face: "I'm fine. Although it's not available in the mainland, at least the movie doesn't cost much money, and I'll make money back when I can advertise. Xiaoshuai felt uncomfortable. "Dream Country" probably won't be able to recover the money, and he still owes me 20,000 yuan."

Wang Xiaoshuai shouted: "You owe you 20,000 yuan. Look at you, you keep talking all day long. I don't believe it. You will make money in filming in the future. When you lose money, I see if you ask me to borrow money."

"You have to have money to borrow money from you."

Feng Xiaoning waved his hand: "You have this time to argue, call to urge Guan Hu and Xiao Lu, when is it time? I'm still in Moji... Wait, what did you just come out?" As one of the five generations of directors, Feng Xiaoning and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are both in the same class. However, when he made movies, the war scenes were quite big, the artistry was not strong, and his fame was a little weak.

About twenty minutes later, Guan Hu and Senior Lu came one after another.

Nine people, four people playing cards, five people watching, while commanding randomly, while talking gossip.

"I just noticed that Fu Biao came to participate in this Golden Rooster Awards. It was probably Feng Xiaogang who asked him to come over and prepare to slap him in the face." Guan Hu said, he is the tallest director in China, 1.92 meters tall, and he is one head taller than Wan Xiaohu when he stood there. However, this guy is also an alternative and has become famous very early, but he has not been able to continue. He has been tinkering with TV and movies in recent years.

Moreover, Wan Xiaohu knew that this guy was not even fiddling with TV movies and was going to fiddle with TV series. I only heard that TV directors were going to change to movies, and rarely heard of movie directors to change to TV series. In this regard, Guan Hu can be considered an alternative.

He Qun said disdainfully: "Who did he slap in the face? What's the thing in "A Sigh"? An old man in his forties still makes such a childish mistake."

Feng Xiaoning sneered: "Feng Xiaogang thought that if he went to the Cairo Film Festival and won a few awards, he would be very proud. It's so unreasonable. In the past ten years, China has gone to ten movies and eight of them won awards. It's too easy to win this award. It's not an international heavyweight at all. Does he have the ability to get a Golden Lion back?"

Sun Zhou even despised and said: "The Cairo Film Festival itself is of low level. The staff of the Chinese Embassy in Cairo called me several times, but I was unwilling to go there. If I attend any film festival, I might win dozens of awards in one of my movies. Now internationally, only Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Oscars and Montreal are worth participating."

The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival are known as the world's three major art film awards. The Academy Awards are the highest in Hollywood and the highest film award in the world. The Montreal Film Festival has a weaker influence, but it has always been a platform for Chinese films to exhibit, with a larger transaction share and attractiveness than other film festivals.

Others discussed whether Feng Xiaogang was very lively, but Wan Xiaohu didn't say anything. He spent too short a time in the director circle and many things were not very clear.

Besides, he doesn't hate Feng Xiaogang, it's boring to mix it up.

Zhang Yimou focused on playing cards and did not comment on Feng Xiaogang. Compared with others, Zhang Yimou is one of the few people who sincerely make movies. "Living" and "Red Sorghum" have determined Zhang Yimou's status and there is no need to compete with others. The entire Five Generation Directors, except for Chen Kaige's "Loess Land" and "Farewell My Concubine", are really useless.

After being humiliated for a while, everyone turned the topic to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which has been hyped up recently.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also one of the new domestic film exhibitions. Although Li An, a famous international director, did not come, as a Sino-US co-production film, invested more than 20 million US dollars, which attracted a lot of attention. From the premiere of France in July to the premiere of small shows in the United States in October, overseas, especially in Europe and the United States, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was highly praised and became a popular winner.

Mainland directors naturally pay great attention.

"Li An is just a slut!" Zhang Yimou took the lead in giving his own evaluation, "From "Pushing Hands", "Wedding Banquet" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An, a Chinese living in the United States, can always grasp the charm and essence of Chinese culture. She only felt bored in the past few years. Looking back in the past two years, she really has a different feeling of indifference, not only kung fu, but also humanity."

Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Director Zhang, are you praising me? Why can't I see how much I feel about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong were talking big tongues and spoke Mandarin in a speechless manner. I really felt that they were trying to do it themselves. I really doubt that this line was not compiled by Chinese people, and there was no ecstasy at all."

"I guess it was the one who won the award when filming it, but the martial arts film was made into an art film." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

Wan Xiaohu interrupted: "The script of Li An was first written in English and then translated into Chinese. I hope it won the award. The Best Foreign Language Film for Oscars is definitely."

"Did you understand?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Wan Xiaohu said with a tsk: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. What's important is that I feel that Li An chose the right idea in the dissemination of culture, especially the dissemination of Eastern culture to Western culture. He chose a nearly Western way to explain the martial arts world in the East, which will definitely cater to the tastes of Westerners."

When a private party was held, Wan Xiaohu also opened his mind to say that Li An could win the award, and as a time traveler, he was naturally very confident.

Zhang Yimou suddenly had a shiny feeling: "What you mean is that the four protagonists Li An chose this time are quite reasonable except for Zhang Ziyi, and the others are awkward in Mandarin. They are not here to watch for domestic audiences at all?"

"The domestic market is small." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "I want me to shoot it, I will shoot it like this. To be honest, I really hope that Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will become popular in Europe and the United States, and then we can also take a ride and have a trip to Europe and the United States, haha."
