Chapter 151 Cheng Long: I am convinced of this box office failure!
And this time Bangzi Country’s Blue Dragon Award, Baeksang Arts Awards and Daejong Award.
They all expressed their appreciation for the movie, but this year's three major awards have already passed, and they are all nominated for next year's awards.
Anyone who knows the inside story knows that this is still a bit unwilling.
After all, this is a movie that satirizes their country, and the whole process is in Bangzi Chinese language.
If it hadn't been for the Star Flag Nation incident, this movie would probably have been banned directly.
But I don’t know what state of mind the Star Flag Nation is in. Even if they later found out that the movie was shot by the Dragon Kingdom, they still released it.
And even wanted to extend the screening.
The final movie box office in Bangzi Country was 180 million, which is definitely not comparable to that in later generations. Before Su Yi traveled through time, the box office was 470 million, which shocked the entire Bangzi Country at that time.
After all, the population base and era of this stick country are also different.
To achieve such box office results has exceeded everyone's expectations.
With such brilliant results, everyone’s eyes turned to Su Yi.
Even the beautiful Liu Yifei is just a green leaf at this time.
Even Jiang Wen, who had always been a little aloof, was following behind them.
The directors in the Beijing circle all looked at each other.
Although the order before and after does not necessarily mean anything.
But who is Jiang Wen?
The old ones are criticized at the top, and the younger ones are scolded at the bottom.
Whenever he feels something is wrong, he will start a fight directly and never show any mercy.
Such a director is not without achievements.
At this time, he followed Su Yi willingly.
“I heard that Su Yi is now the deputy director in charge of review at the National Film Administration.”
“Promoted so quickly? Is the news accurate?”
"I was originally a national third-level director with deputy director-level treatment, but now I have a formal official position. However, this official is not big, but it controls the lifeblood of many people. Do you think this is the reason for Jiang Wen? , did you give in?"
Several directors whispered.
This time it’s not just directors from the Beijing circle.
Most of the directors who shot the movie came over.
You know, to a certain extent, they are competitors, but many times they also introduce resources to each other.
As soon as Su Yi came in, everyone's attention immediately gathered, and some people who knew the inside story immediately started whispering.
“I don’t know, but it’s really enviable.”
"What are you envious of? If you can make such a movie, you can also have such an honor!"
Most of them are small discussions. After all, even if it is not a live broadcast, I know that Su Yi can't do it now. Offended.
Chen Kaige was so angry before that he couldn't look back now.
"Director Su Yi! Hello!"
Seeing the two people sitting in their seats, someone hurriedly said hello.
"I am..."
"If I didn't even know you, I wouldn't have a childhood."
Su Yi looked at the other person with a smile on his face.
Directed by Cheng Long.
Cheng Long, an actor, singer, director, and martial arts star, who has multiple professions, can be recognized at a glance.
Originally he was from the Hong Kong Film Directors Association.
But the current mainland film industry is different from the past.
The influence of Hong Kong movies in mainland China is getting smaller and smaller. Except for "Kung Fu" directed by Stephen Chow, which was a box office hit in 2004, there have been few annual box office champions in recent years.
So the 2005 Film Directors Guild Annual Meeting was held in advance, and it was also a celebration for Parasite.
Now Su Yi is not only an ordinary director, but also represents the official power.
And anyone with a discerning eye can see the influence of this small-budget film on several countries.
Cheng Long also understood this and took the initiative to greet Su Yi.
"Haha...it exposed my age. But my ambition is not in my age, I want to learn from you."
Cheng Long knew that he would never shoot this type of photo in his life. movie.
Because it has been fixed, what he is good at is martial arts, fun and funny action movies.
Facing such literary and artistic films, he is still beyond his reach.
But he is not only a director, but also an actor.
The actors working with Su Yi this time are some of the most inferior actors in the country.
After I went to Parasite’s talk show last time, I basically couldn’t return to Bangzi Country.
But there are many directors in China who were inspired by Parasite.
Aren’t the Korean dramas you filmed before all glamorous, with high-rise buildings and handsome men and beautiful women?
Then let’s do the opposite now!
Especially the "wonderful performance" of the third-level actors in the documentary that day made many directors think about it.
Film a TV series about the real current situation of some Bangzi countries, and even the dark entertainment industry!
This even attracted many actors from Bangzi Country.
Because compared to Bangzi Country, Long Country is more tolerant of actors and makes more money.
All the actors in Bangzi Kingdom have such a 'transformation', not to mention Liu Yifei, the only protagonist of Dragon Kingdom.
From idol to powerful, although not one movie can complete the journey.
But this change is also difficult.
Now Liu Yifei has more acting options. She can be an idol or a real actress.
A movie that directly broke through in acting.
This made Cheng Long feel very envious.
Not only is the script good, the director also plays a big role.
"I can't shoot your action movie, and Director Jiang Wen helped me complete many details this time."
Su Yi is still modest.
Despite his status, superficial modesty is just etiquette.
"No way, I really went to study. But Su Yi, you were accidentally injured this time."
Jiang Wen smiled.
Chen Kaige, who was sitting in the front row of him, changed his expression when he heard this.
Although Jiang Wen was referring to Bangzi, he accidentally hurt the box office of Cheng Long's "Myth".
But it made him feel uncomfortable instantly.
After all, now is a sensitive time.
Chen Hong in the front row was also a little uncomfortable.
When you, Jiang Wen, gave your students to our crew, Lao Chen didn't say anything and just became the executive director.
That’s a freshly graduated college student.
Although it was considered an exchange of interests at the time, Jiang Wen also helped Chen Kaige contact some actors.
Although after experiencing this incident, Squad Leader Lu also met a tragic end.
But no matter how you put it, it’s not sarcastic, right?
“Yes, the movie Shinhwa has also encountered a certain range of resistance.”
Cheng Long smiled bitterly.
Although he was polite on the face, it was still a bit sad.
A lot of effort was put into it, and it was also a big production.
We also specially used movie stars from Bangzi Country.
Unexpectedly, this time the fire at the city gate affected Chiyu.
The two of them didn't know each other before, so they definitely didn't have any grudges.
I can only blame bad luck.
“I didn’t think so much. I was just angry with those stick guys at that time.”
Before, it was Han Han, but after Su Yi’s continuous big moves, now it has almost become a street rat. .
This is the power of publicity.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s normal competition. If I lose to this movie, I’m convinced.”
Relatively speaking, Chen Kaige's magnanimity is indeed a bit small.
Cheng Long had different ideas from him and wanted to cooperate with Su Yi.
It’s not just Cheng Long’s idea.
Many other directors also expressed their ‘goodwill’.
Chen Kaige's face became increasingly ugly.
From the looks of it, everyone really pushed him against the wall. "Hello everyone, there are many new faces here today."
The president of the Directors Association is very old, but he seems to be in good spirits.
Once a pillar of Beijing Film Studio.
At that time, several directors in the Beijing circle were from the Bayi Film Studio and the Beijing Film Studio.
However, this Director Xie was once a pillar!
He was also the president of the first Film Directors Guild.
Director Xie is no less legendary than Su Yi’s teacher Wang Fulin.
When Wang Fulin was interviewed, he once said that his director level was not as good as Director Xie.
Although there is an element of modesty, one can still see Director Xie’s ability.
Wang Fulin was able to say this because of a coincidence.
Two Dreams of Red Mansions, one is a TV series and the other is a movie.
While preparations were underway, Wang Fulin joked: It’s over. With Beijing Film Studio, we will be under great pressure.
With pressure, the classic TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" came into being. The crew studied and filmed under the pressure.
“Thank you, Director!”
Everyone stood up to say hello.
Especially Chen Kaige, who almost trotted over.
Because he knows that although the sun has set on Director Xie, the remaining warmth can still shine on him.
"Xiao Chen, I haven't seen you for many years."
Director Xie's words made Chen Kaige a little embarrassed.
After stepping on his father's shoulders to reach the top of the list of honors, several consecutive movies have received poor reviews but were acceptable at the box office.
Slowly becoming a leading figure among the five generations of directors.
Although he has always been suppressed by Zhang Yi, he still has his own status.
"Mr. Xie is still in such good health."
Chen Hong said with a smile.
Director Xie glanced at her lightly and nodded slightly.
"Everyone, sit down. The so-called Directors Guild gathering was held at the beginning of the year, wasn't it? This time, I am here to see the effective forces in the film director world."
Director Xie smiled laugh.
His eyes were already looking at Su Yi.
The theme this time is very clear.
Just for Su Yi.
A director with such power would have had it if he had not joined the Film Directors Guild.
That’s the Motion Picture Directors Guild’s joke!
Su Yi has never filmed any movies before, so it is just an invitation letter.
That’s all for Wang Fulin’s sake.
But now, the emergence of parasites has shocked many countries.
Even Bangzi Country has been in a chaotic situation of demonstrations and marches.
Director Xie was amazed by such a young man and wanted to meet him.
"Hello, Director Xie. I heard the teacher talk about you before."
Although one of them is in the TV drama industry and the other is in the film industry.
But there is no hatred between them.
On the contrary, there is respect.
Although Su Yi is young now and entered the industry late, he is even a college student who graduated in 2005.
But he studied under Wang Fulin, and his seniority in the director world is not low.
If we were in the traffic era, these things may no longer be valued, so the cross talk world can inherit some.
But at this time, the seniority is higher, and sometimes it depends on the face of your teacher, such as a soldier assault.
Wang Fulin wants to cheer for the students, and Tang Guoqiang is coming!
After giving Chen Hong and Chen Kaige a lukewarm look just now, Director Xie became very enthusiastic towards Su Yi.
“Think about it at that time, there were no conditions. All I had was enthusiasm. It was sometimes difficult to learn from foreign works. Everything was just a matter of crossing the river by feeling for the stones. My head is bleeding."
Director Xie smiled.
He was the president and had seniority, so the others listened patiently.
"Although Director Su is young, he has the courage of our time. The movie he shot this time is very powerful. He is bolder than people of our time!"
This generation's People, in fact, if they don't like the feelings of some old friends, especially the old friends who have passed away.
I no longer want to worry about the so-called worldliness.
Like Chen Kaige, he only had a relationship with his father before, and he was even considered an 'old comrade'.
This saved some face, otherwise I would have scolded him this time.
“Fortunately, I can’t compare with the seniors. There is still a lot to learn.”
Su Yi is still modest.
He must come to the Film Directors Association this time.
Has become the deputy director of review of the National Film Bureau, and is also the director of the hottest movie recently.
If you don't come, this party will even become a joke.
"Don't be humble. You are a student of director Wang Fulin. You still have such ability and are proud of it."
Chen Kaige's face became increasingly ugly.
I haven’t seen this kid in so many months.
Not only the TV drama industry, but also the film industry, which is his home, has now become like this?
Zhang Yimou on the side was holding back his joy and watching the excitement.
Logically speaking, this is a pair of enemies who always fight with each other.
But now this time I have become a spectator.
And he is still a junior.
The same is true for Chen Hong. I didn’t expect Director Xie to be so disrespectful.
It looks like they are really clowns this time!
"Director Su Yi is very good. I guess foreign countries can also give awards this time."
Feng Xiaogang changed the topic, and he could see Chen Kaige's embarrassment.
After all, we were all in the same circle, so we saved a lot of face.
Su Yi is the most powerful now, but it’s really hard to say this kind of thing.
"Yes, when it comes to foreign awards, Director Zhang and Director Chen both have a say."
Chen Kaige felt a lot better.
This is a lifetime honor.
Zhang Yimou looked at Chen Kaige.
“Hello Director Su Yi, we haven’t met much before, but we have known each other for a long time. I think there should be no problem with this nomination. Although it is not related to our country, I like you very much. Movie.”
Zhang Yimou is also showing goodwill to Su Yi.
The ‘number one’ in the northwest circle also knows how powerful Su Yi is now.
If this circle is compared to the martial arts world, then Su Yi has the support of the government, and his martial arts is currently "the best in the world."
“It’s not easy to win awards abroad, and it’s not easy to be nominated.”
Chen Kaige finally spoke.
All eyes turned to him.
Chen Kaige acted naturally.
It was like meeting Su Yi for the first time.
"Indeed, the investment this time is not large. And there are no special effects - after all, it does not show the culture of our Dragon Kingdom."
The speaker is a woman.
Li Shaohong.
Su Yi frowned slightly, not because of her words.
It is a TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" that she will film in the future!
This director is not ashamed to say that Dream of Red Mansions is not a good book and he can make a good TV series without reading it himself.
To be precise, it should be A Dream in Red Mansions.
Such a director said that he did not show the culture of the Dragon Kingdom?
"Director Li Shaohong, showing the culture of the Dragon Kingdom is Director Su Yi's strength."
A man with a smile came over.
Many directors were directors of art centers when they were in the system. Su Yi’s current position is deputy director. This time, because of the exchange of interests between countries, some box office was sacrificed and given to Su Yi. I think this position is nothing
