Chapter 358 Times have changed

When he walked to the edge of the stage and communicated with the staff, Yang Mi's heart was still pounding.

As a student at the film school, she has heard the names of most of these directors on stage. They are definitely not as good as Xu Kun in terms of box office, but in terms of status in the industry, there are several who are no less than Xu Kun.

So when Xu Kun was attacked by a group of people just now, Yang Mi's face turned pale with fright, feeling that Brother Kun was going to be driven away.

Who would have thought that Xu Kun Yiran was not afraid of verbally quarreling with Lu Chuan and left the great director speechless.

To be honest, although Yang Mi had made up her mind to embrace Xu Kun's thick legs before, it was all out of career considerations and never because of Xu Kun's personal charm.

But in the situation just now, she felt a different kind of throbbing.

This strange throb lasted until a large number of students and teachers came in and filled the 150-person theater, and then it was gradually replaced by nervousness.

She and Bao Beier looked at each other, walked side by side to the center of the stage, holding the microphone, and were about to speak loudly about the opening remarks they had prepared long ago.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly picked up the wireless microphone on the coffee table and said loudly: "Wait a minute!"

Yang Mi was startled by him, and Bao Beier next to him was even more excited. The two turned to look, and saw Wang Xiaoshuai getting up from the table, holding up the microphone and saying: "Before this symposium officially begins, please allow me to first Change your position."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Kun and then at Ning Hao: "There are directors with a box office of 37 million and directors with a box office of over 100 million. I don't think I should. "Be with them."

[Note: There is a prototype for this fairy tale. I saw it when I was searching for information. I can't find it now, but it should be what Wang Xiaoshuai said to Ning Hao and others. 】

It turns out that he was holding back a lot of pressure just now when he urged the opening!

Wang Xiaoshuai has a double standard. Before 2007, he was still shouting that he could not compromise on the box office, criticizing those sixth-generation directors who wanted to transform, and that we must stick to the bottom line of filmmakers.

As a result, in 2008, he suddenly made a bold statement: "If "Left and Right" does not do well at the box office, I will ban myself." This obviously means that he attaches great importance to the box office, which is completely opposite to his previous statement.

Then "Left and Right" unexpectedly crashed into the market, and Wang Xiaoshuai also broke his promise unexpectedly.

After Wang Xiaoshuai finished speaking, he walked to the middle of the stage, looked around and said, "Which of you is willing to change places with me?"

With this, even if he has no objection to Xu Kun, It's impossible for someone so big to take the initiative to change places with him.

Those who had strong opinions on Xu Kun started to cheer and say:

"If I don't change, I'm afraid I'll be smelled of copper!"

"How can we be qualified to sit with a billionaire director?"

At the same time.

The audience was also in an uproar. Many students and teachers who had just entered the venue did not realize that Xu Kun was still sitting in the corner until this moment.

“Isn’t it a symposium for sixth generation directors? Why is Xu Kun here too?!”

"Wow~ It's Cai Xu Kun!"

"No, it should be Cai Xu Kun, the domineering and arrogant person who has been the only one in thirty years!"

"You forgot to add 'Han' "The man behind the flow'."

While the stage and the audience were in chaos, Ning Hao suddenly pulled off the gold chain around his neck, slapped it on the coffee table, and then grabbed the microphone. He yelled: "It's endless, isn't it?! Are you guilty of such a big hit at the box office?!"

Ning Hao was born in 1977, and like Chen Shu, he is 29 years old, and he is still young and energetic. At this stage, let alone having achieved such great achievements, how could he not have any temper at all?

Previously, he felt uncomfortable because of the yin and yang of the old gangsters. Now that Wang Xiaoshuai had directly brought him into the mix, how could he endure it? !

Ning Hao’s voice stunned everyone on and off the stage.

Wang Xiaoshuai wanted to say something else, but Guan Hu stood up from the table and said, "I'll switch with you." Then, regardless of whether Wang Xiaoshuai answered or not, he just changed to his position and reached out to pat Ning Hao. He said over his shoulder: "Haozi, don't worry, he has such a bad temper, he will say nothing when he is anxious."

On the other side, Jia Zhangke also hurriedly dragged Wang Xiaoshuai to Guan Hu's seat.

Wang Xiaoshuai stood up and targeted Xu Kun. Most of the people here were happy to see it happen, but you brought your little brother with you and did it in public, which is really too much.

Seeing this scene, the audience began to talk again, and many people felt that today was the right time - there were many opportunities to watch the seniors show off, but there were not many opportunities to see them dog-eat-dog live.

After this episode, Yang Mi and Bao Beier's opening speeches were weak and full of mistakes. Fortunately, no one cared about this.

After finally finishing the basic introduction, Bao Beier said eagerly: "Next, let us give warm applause and invite Director Jia Zhangke to speak as a representative."

Probably. Because the audience was expecting dog bite dog, the applause from the audience was not as enthusiastic as expected.

Jia Zhangke came to the middle of the stage amidst applause and began his speech in the form of a report with great emotion.

As a director with a background in literature, his script writing skills are much better than Xu Kun's.

But as for the specific point of view, it is actually the same as that of the third child: literary films must...the literary market...art theaters...

Probably they were hit in the normal market, he Now we are calling on the "art theaters" very hard, almost to the point of being hoarse and bursting into tears.

His words obviously resonated with the audience, and there was thunderous applause when he took his final bow.

After all, the people who come here are basically activists from Beijing Film and Television Film and Television, and at least half of them have dreams of directing, so naturally they can sympathize with what he said.

When Jia Zhangke finished his speech and sat back down, Yang Mi couldn't wait to jump out and announced that Xu Kun would speak on behalf of the group next.

Having witnessed Xu Kun's verbal battle with Lu Chuan just now, she couldn't wait to see what tricks Xu Kun could come up with.

The audience in the audience was in a similar mood, so the applause was particularly warm, because it was not a big deal to watch the fun.

The directors on the stage behaved differently. Some looked coldly, some were dismissive, some had nothing to do with them, some were full of scrutiny, and some were like facing a formidable enemy. ......

Only Xu Kun was seen Facing the eyes in front and behind him, he calmly walked to the center of the stage and said loudly: "Originally, when I was invited to participate in this symposium, I was a little flattered. I thought that there would be great things to say when all the wise people gathered together. Who knew..."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, and then tore up his speech in front of the audience.

This action and rhetoric immediately caused an uproar again on and off the stage.

Someone on the stage shouted loudly at 'arrogance' and 'grandstanding', but Xu Kun ignored it at all. Instead, he raised his voice again and said: "Before refuting some people's unrealistic fantasies, I want to ask first Everyone, ask those who are born in the 1980s like me, what era is it now? ”

Hearing his question, the audience immediately gave a variety of answers.

And Xu Kun also got the result he wanted. After all, the answer was so obvious.

"Yes, now is the Internet age, an unprecedented new era!"

Xu Kun said loudly: "One generation has its own way of thinking, and each generation has its own way of living! If you must If you just copy and use things from the last century, even if they are foreign gadgets made in Europe and the United States in the last century, that is Rotten, outdated, and destined to perish, foreign garbage!”

At this point, he stopped and looked around the stage, and then said: “Yes, that’s exactly what I want to say! The literary theaters that Director Jia just called for!”
