Chapter 490 Three things to do when a new official takes office
Xu Kun was the last to arrive, and Gu Changwei was the first to leave.
When he left, he stood up and paid attention to Jiang Wenli for more than ten seconds. Seeing that Jiang Wenli didn't react at all, he slowly walked out.
Xu Kun originally wanted to get up and say goodbye, but was blocked by Jiang Wenli's feet under the table. In the end, he could only watch Gu Changwei go out desolately.
"Is it about the vixen?"
As soon as Gu Changwei left, Jiang Wenli revealed the conspiracy between the two.
Xu Kun didn't hide it. He took a sip of the Blue Mountain he ordered and said with a smile: "Director Gu is also nostalgic for old friendships."
"Then if it were you..."
"Whoever strikes first, I will strike!"
Xu Kun decisively gave his answer: "The situation here is different. Everyone has been exposed. It's okay to be jealous secretly, but it's definitely not okay to get into trouble like this."
The corners of Jiang Wenli's mouth turned up unconsciously, with an expression that seemed to say 'ha~ man'.
After a while, he asked again: "Do you also think I should let the vixen go?"
"People are generally more likely to sympathize with the weak"
Xu Kun put the coffee cup that Niu had finished drinking back into the tray, shrugged and said: "If you really ban Zhang Jingchu, our matter will become a problem."
Originally, even if the affair between the two of them was exposed, at most it would mean that Jiang Wenli could not bear the betrayal and would be angry and look for a new love. But if she did this while also forcefully blocking Zhang Jingchu, it would seem a bit aggressive.
Jiang Wenli fell silent. After a while, she also picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. Then she stood up and said, "Let's go to my place to 'catch up on old times'."
…………
It wasn't until he turned around that Xu Kun went to Huayi and China Film.
Wang Zhongjun is very enthusiastic, and he will do all kinds of flattery for free - Wang Zhonglei used to be responsible for this job, and as the chairman, he has to be more or less responsible.
But now he has no airs at all, and his body is so soft that it seems like he has no spine.
When Xu Kun left Huayi, Wang Zhongjun even sent him to the backyard parking lot. When he drove away, he was still standing under the steps smiling and waving.
This face definitely didn't develop suddenly. It's just that Xu Kun hadn't reached that level before, so he had never seen it before.
Of course, in addition to the reason for his increased status, the huge benefits Xu Kun brought to Huayi were also an important reason why Wang Zhongjun treated him so politely.
Box office revenue is secondary, mainly because of this, Huayi's listing has become a smooth road, and it is estimated that it will be listed on the GEM next spring.
Not only is this almost half a year earlier than the original time and space, but it will definitely increase the stock price to a considerable extent - probably in the eyes of the two kings, Xu Kun is now a gold-plated money printing machine.
When he arrived at China Film Academy, Han Sanping's attitude became more approachable. He first chatted with Xu Kun about the Youth Guides Association for a while.
Xu Kun took some time off from his busy schedule and briefly thought about this matter. According to him, since it is the 'Young Film Directors Association', the focus should be on the word 'youth'.
The goal is not only to discover young directors, but also to rejuvenate the main leaders of the association. The initial idea is to stick to the 75-year mark.
Han Sanping was a shrewd man. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said, "You are trying to win over Director Liu Haibo."
"I can't hide anything from you. I'm also worried that I can't do anything alone at such a young age. Besides, Lao Liu's grades are pretty decent - I want Lao Liu and Ning Hao to be the vice presidents to support the framework first."
Hearing Xu Kun take the initiative to mention Ning Hao, Han Sanping nodded slightly with satisfaction. Ning Hao is also a young talent he likes. However, compared to Xu Kun, who is three years younger, Ning Hao is still a bit less ambitious and visionary. He always thinks about It was necessary to break up with Xu Kun, but Xu Kun never cared about this.
“It’s also inappropriate if they all have male directors.”
Han Sanping immediately suggested: "It is best to find a representative young female director, and then ask the film bureau to recommend one, so that one director and four assistants will be enough."
"You are still thoughtful, why don't you just recommend one - I know a lot of actresses, but I really haven't had much contact with female directors."
"Who said you haven't been in contact?"
Han Sanping asked: "Aren't you working with Xu Jinglei recently?"
"Uh~ But she was born in 1974."
"Really?"
Han Sanping patted his forehead and sighed: "When I met her before, I always thought she was a little girl. It turns out that she is almost 35."
Han Sanping thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I can't think of any female directors born after 1975. Forget it, you'd better find a way on your own. Anyway, as long as there are results, we at China Film and Television will definitely support them."
There are not many male directors born after 1975 who have achieved success, let alone female directors.
Xu Kun was thinking about how to lower the entry threshold and bring Xu Jinglei in to make up for it - she was a woman anyway, so no one could say anything if a special exception was made.
"That's right."
After talking about the Youth Guidance Association, Han Sanping warned again: "If Zhang Heping comes to you recently, you must not listen to his deception. The water in the capital is too deep and you cannot control it."
"Dean Zhang is looking for me? Why?" Xu Kun first heard about Zhang Heping because of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". Later, when he entered this circle, he learned that his job was as a cadre at the department and bureau level, and later he became a human being. Dean of Arts.
Because Xu Kun has some connections with Renyi, he has also dealt with Dean Zhang several times.
When he heard that Zhang Heping was looking for him, Xu Kun instinctively thought that he was looking for him to join the People's Art School - Pu Cunxin had proposed that he apply for the People's Art School back then, but Xu Kun felt that he couldn't stand the control, and later he let it go.
Now that he is the Venice Best Actor, if he wants to enter the arts, he can do something special.
But if you think about it carefully, Han Sanping's words don't seem to be talking about people and art.
"The Beijing Filmmakers Association will also be established."
Han Sanping explained: "The city plans to let Zhang Heping take the lead in the organization. Since you are in the limelight now, he will naturally want to take your idea - then you can be an ordinary member. Don't touch the vice president or anything like that." .”
"Don't worry, I won't be confused!"
When Xu Kun heard what was going on, he immediately became vigilant. As Han Sanping said, the water in this three-thirds of an acre in the capital was too deep. If it were really discussed, it would probably be more troublesome than the China Film Association.
After all, there are various forces in the China Film Association, and they have checks and balances on each other. There are not so many direct conflicts in the scattered places.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
But this Beijing Filmmakers Association...
I'm afraid it can only be described as "the little demon in the temple is strong in the wind, and there are many bastards in the shallow pool" - at least it was like this before the gradual decline of the Beijing circle.
The two chatted for a while, and when the secretary came in to remind Han Sanping of his upcoming itinerary, Xu Kun took advantage of the situation and left.
Han Sanping also personally sent him to the elevator entrance, holding his hand and encouraging him: "We are short of good directors in the country, and we are even more short of good directors who are willing to promote a positive image of the country. As long as you can maintain your current status, I believe in your future." It must be extremely bright!”
Xu Kun said seriously: "I believe that the future of our motherland will be extremely bright!"
Han Sanping laughed loudly when he heard this, patted Xu Kun on the shoulder again, watched him walk into the elevator, and then turned back to the office.
After leaving China Film and Television, Xu Kun saw that it was still early, so he contacted Zhang Chen and drove directly to the headquarters of Happy Mahua.
It is said to be the headquarters, but it is actually a two-story building with a courtyard rented near the Fifth Ring Road. Judging from the weather-beaten appearance, the building must be at least more than 20 years old.
This is the new home that Happy Mahua just moved to last year. Their previous headquarters was in a town in TZ District.
Zhang Chen led people to wait at the gate of the yard early. Before Xu Kun's car stopped, a bunch of people clapped their hands, wishing that their faces were frozen with laughter and their hands were red.
Because Xu Kun has met most of the people who used Happy Twist during the filming of "Unfortunate Journey", and of course there are also some unfamiliar faces that he has never seen before.
After getting off the car, he asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, you didn't go to the performance today?"
Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Shen Teng complained at the side: "It was there originally, but it was gone when you came."
As he spoke, he pointed behind him and said: "Look, these are all coming back from running a red light."
Although the next few actors were a little bit sarcastic, they were backgrounds in stage plays after all, and their cheeks had already been trained, so they immediately introduced themselves smoothly.
In fact, there were several people inside that Xu Kun had met before, such as Mary and Allen, but this time they introduced themselves solemnly.
After all, with Xu Kun's current status, being able to leave an impression on him is already a dream for many people.
After some pleasantries, Xu Kun was invited into Zhang Chen's office like a star.
Except for Zhang Chen and Shen Teng, everyone else was kicked out. Only Mary took the initiative to take over the task of serving tea and water and successfully stayed in the house.
Xu Kun and Happy Mahua have been working together for more than a day or two. Even the environment of Happy Mahua has improved rapidly, mainly due to Xu Kun. Although Shen Teng’s main job is an actor, his most well-known identity is actually Youku. Host of the commentary variety show.
So Xu Kun didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came to our happy twists this time specifically to 'taobao'."
As the saying goes, the three things that a new official should do when he takes office. Since he has been tasked with establishing the 'Youth Guidance Association', he must make some achievements, so he is prepared to identify a few potential stocks in advance.
Xu Kun's first thought was Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth".
But the problem is that after asking around, there was no such person in the circle. [Note: At this time, Guo Fan was still doing odd jobs in variety shows on the CCTV Travel Channel. He will not be admitted to Beijing Film Academy until next year, but he is studying manage rather than direct].
Fortunately, in addition to Guo Fan, the big fish that slipped through the net, Xu Kun has ready-made talents around him - the director team of Happy Twist.
Although Xu Kun didn't remember who directed "Charlotte Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he had some ideas from the two young directors + screenwriters Peng Damo and Yan Fei of Happy Twist after previous contact.
Xu Kun feels that as long as they are paired with some experienced assistants, they can complete "Charlotte Trouble" in advance.
Anyway, this was originally a Happy Twist movie. If it were copied directly, Xu Kun always felt uncomfortable. It would be better to return the jade to the original owner and return it to Zhao intact, and he would also be able to brush up on his political achievements.
When the time comes, he will be given the title of producer, and he will also have a good reputation for supporting newcomers.
Well~
Peng Damo was born in 1978. If possible, it would be better to let Yan Fei, who was born in 1983, carry the banner, so that he can more legitimately act as a senior.
