Chapter 235: There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the sails will sail across the sea! May the motherland prosper!
Director Xie can only recommend.
It is impossible to say that it is formulated directly, although the president cannot bring much substantive things.
But this reputation is still worthy of recognition.
Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, and even many famous directors from Hong Kong and the island are here this time.
Wang Jiawei, Xu Ke, Zhou Xingchi, Li Jian, Wu Yusen and so on.
These are all serious directors.
Originally they would not have participated.
After all, some people think it’s not valuable enough, and some people think it’s not worth coming.
No matter what the reason was before.
But now it's because of Su Yi!
Parasite, Twelve Years a Slave!
The first part dampened the arrogance of Bangzi Country and even made them secretly retreat in exchange for the film being removed from the shelves.
Even using national level technology to exchange.
Twelve Years a Slave caused the Star Flag Country to be in chaos for two months!
Later, the money was paid and the matter was settled.
For someone as principled as Zhou Runfa, he had to lower his head and reduce his salary.
Even closed places like overseas countries agreed to allow Su Yi to shoot.
Of course, this movie was not released simultaneously around the world.
The box office in the mainland market is 2.4 billion. This achievement shocked them!
This time I heard that Su Yi was coming, so I traveled thousands of miles to come in advance.
Ang Lee even made a special trip back while filming a movie abroad.
Director Xie also knew that the reason why so many people came to this party was entirely because of Su Yi.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!
Director Xie looked at the people in the audience with some emotion.
He knew that the position of president was the most suitable for Su Yi.
Now Su Yi has great international prestige.
The previous two films were both small and broad, and were selected for Oscars and Cannes through their plots.
And the box office performance is also amazing.
This time, Changjin Lake boldly used 3D technology.
The number one film director in the Dragon Kingdom!
Director Xie did not say these words, but he recognized Su Yi's strength in his heart.
He has watched all three movies and was deeply touched.
President Xie Tieli was happy.
But the election of the president still requires voting.
He looked at Xie Jin beside him, nodded to him, and asked the staff to hand out the tickets.
Actually, it’s just a formality.
Who is not convinced?
In terms of qualifications, my teacher is Wang Fulin. Although he is not from the film industry - he has enough qualifications, not to mention that the director strictly speaking does not have a small circle.
As for the works, there seems to be no need to compare them.
Speaking of fame, Zhang Yimou and others were overwhelmed by him.
Brokeback Mountain, shot by Ang Lee, was defeated by Parasite and took away the Palme d'Or.
12 Years a Slave surpassed all 2006 movies and became the global box office champion!
Except for a few abandoned votes, basically everyone passed!
"Director Su Yi, congratulations."
Director Xie Jin is also a leader of the fifth generation of directors.
He looked at Su Yi with admiration in his eyes.
Talent has nothing to do with age.
"Thank you."
Su Yi nodded.
The vice president is also a highly qualified director.
But he was extremely polite and enthusiastic towards Su Yi.
Xie Jin smiled at Su Yi, and then said with emotion.
“In 1978, the famous Hollywood director Spielberg came to Shanghai to shoot a movie.”
The scene became quiet.
Xie Jin seemed to be reminiscing, and it was obvious that his health was not very good.
Accompanied by a severe cough.
But the audience was very quiet and listened quietly all the time.
“I still remember that the movie we were shooting was called "Empire of the Sun." In order to be able to shoot in real locations, Spielberg wanted to come to Shanghai to shoot. At that time, he talked with China Film and China Film Group for a whole year. ! ”
“At that time, Longguo’s film industry was still in the development stage, and it couldn’t be compared to the movies invested by Warner Bros. Pictures at that time. The investment alone was 38 million US dollars!”
"In 1987, a movie cost 38 million U.S. dollars! At that time, let alone Shanghai Film and China Film, the entire Dragon Kingdom film industry together probably did not exceed 38 million U.S. dollars!"
"At that time we Several directors discussed it and went to the Magic City at their own expense to watch Spielberg filming the movie from a distance! At that time, they had already applied to seal off many blocks and even had our soldiers act as extras for them. .”
Xie Jin’s health seems to be in bad shape.
Su Yi supported him on the side. According to the history of his previous life, he was going to die of illness in 2008.
Being able to come this time really gives me face.
In other words, he wanted to see his ‘legend’.
This is a person who has truly contributed to Dragon Kingdom movies.
“However, their film shooting methods really opened our eyes. At that time, I was still thinking, when will our film industry be the same as theirs, or even surpass them?”
< br>Xie Jin’s words made many directors fall into deep thought.
These words touched them deeply.
Compared with the movies of that era, they were really inferior.
The investment in just one movie makes them look up to them.
Not only Xie Jin went to see it.
Many directors and actors also went to see it.
The success of those so-called Hollywood movies is definitely not only due to their strong family background!
They need to learn scripts, shooting techniques, actor performance, etc.
It also shocked them a lot back then.
“Now... we finally have a movie that shocks them. Our movie can finally be shot on the territory of other countries, and even use their troops as extras!”
< br>Xie Jin's voice was filled with excitement, and his eyes even turned red.
There are reporters taking photos below.
Vice President Xie Jin has been in poor health. I didn't see Su Yi the last time he came after he won the parasite award.
Su Yi observed him at close range. As a director, he could detect that the other person should have come from the hospital.
There are still pinholes on my hands after the intravenous drip.
Su Yi was also very moved. He helped Xie Jin, but he had respect for this person he met for the first time.
Some details of Su Yi's previous filming of "Changjin Lake" in overseas countries were also exposed by some news and media.
Soldiers from neighboring countries acted as part of the soldiers from Bangzi Country.
Because of the on-site shooting and some explosion scenes during filming, it was also closed for a month.
“At first, several blocks of our Magic City were closed, which made it very inconvenient for the citizens. Later, the burning of tires and other items even caused environmental pollution. My heart is very complicated. . As a director, there is nothing I can do."
Xie Jin sighed, and then looked at Su Yi.
“And today I see hope. The international awards won by directors Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige and others, as well as these classic works by director Su Yi, make me, an old man, feel like dying Before, I saw hope! ”
Xie Jin held Su Yi's hand and was very excited.
Su Yi was deeply touched.
“Not just a parasite, but also a slave for twelve years. Or the current Changjin Lake. This is just the beginning for you. It’s a pity that my body is dying and I may not be able to see your future glory.”< br>
Xie Jin was born into a well-known family, a truly scholarly family.
There was a classic saying: In the old days, the king Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
It's about the ancestors of Xie Jin's family. At the same time, Xie Jin's parents' generation also had no worries about food and clothing, and they were still in high positions.
Unfortunately, I filmed a work that year and was locked up because of my sensitivity.
My parents were also implicated and committed suicide because they could not bear the insults.
Xie Jin was in so much pain that he even wanted to die.
But.
The hemp rope is chosen to break at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.
Of Xie Jin’s four children, two are mentally retarded and one is mentally retarded.
What will happen to the children after they die?
Xie Jin persisted and ushered in his era.
Many people don’t know Xie Jin’s name, but they may have heard of a movie clip that once became popular on Douyin.
"Old Xu, do you want your wife or not?"
That heartwarming movie clip, the ubiquitous warmth in the play.
And Lao Xu went through hardships, but because of righteousness and the mutual love with his wife, he gave up the life of foreign capital and stayed in China.
"Director Xie Jin, you are too polite."
Su Yi grabbed Xie Jin's hand with respect in his eyes.
"Your movies also inspire me"
Su Yi did not hold the other party in conversation, but really felt it.
"Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass, and cattle and sheep are low. When I was filming the documentary "Hexi Corridor", I went there specially "The place where the photo was taken."
Su Yi's eyes were bright, and Xie Jin's body trembled, and there was nostalgia in his eyes.
Wrangler and Furong Town are his masterpieces.
At the foot of the Qilian Mountains
Xie Jin and Su Yi, an old man and a young man, had a common feeling at this moment.
"There is also Xu Lingjun, the protagonist of "The Wrangler". Although he is a fictional character, he represents your feelings for the motherland."
"!"
Su Yi is real of those who have watched their own movies!
Xie Jin's eyes turned red.
Half a life of regret, half of a life of hard work, I am talking about Xie Jin.
He ignored his grandfather’s ancestral precepts: he is not allowed to speculate in stocks and is not allowed to become an actor!
He was still admitted to the Drama Academy.
Because of the filming of the movie, my parents were implicated. Because of heavy drinking, my three children have intellectual problems.
But the movies shot are all very classic.
The "Red Detachment of Women" almost won the Golden Rooster Awards that year!
The Busan International Film Festival, the second session in 1997, gave him an honorary award!
In 1998, he was even called: a contemporary film master!
This time it’s because of Su Yi’s arrival, and also because of the arrival of famous directors from the island and Hong Kong.
The ceremony was not small, and many directors, actors, and celebrities came over.
And then I heard the sentence: May the motherland prosper, may the compatriots no longer suffer, may Lingjun’s innocent heart last forever in China!
Many people in the audience shed tears.
Only those who have experienced it can understand the emotion contained in this sentence.
Jiang Wen was the first to applaud.
This Xie Jin also helped him a lot.
The Furong Town of that year was also one of Jiang Wen’s masterpieces.
And Xie Jin’s bold expression of that era also left a deep impression on Jiang Wen.
The same goes for Zhu Shimao on the side.
The Xu Lingjun that Su Yi mentioned just now is played by him.
"Wow!"
Warm applause broke out, and the directors from Xiangjiang and Haidao also applauded.
Those who can enter this party today will definitely not have any fresh meat or anything like that.
Most of them are directors with their own thoughts and feelings.
If a person is indifferent, then the same will be true of the photographed work.
A director is the soul of a movie. What style of movie is defined by the director's style.
Su Yi’s respect for Xie Jin and what he said just now.
It was also recognized by the directors in the audience.
In fact, in the director circle, due to the ‘efforts’ of Li Shaohong, Chen Kaige and others.
A rumor spread and even spread on the Internet for a while. That's what Su Yi shot: Let the Bullets Fly, which was actually shot by Jiang Wen - Su Yi admitted this no matter what the occasion.
Changjin Lake is also the result of Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian. He, Su Yi, is just a "popular man" within the system.
Just in name!
No real talent or learning!
Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxuan have proven their answers to these matters.
But that's what rumors are like. Faced with the two directors' responses, the rumor mongers simply turned a blind eye.
Not even mentioning Su Yi's other works.
Many people also know that this is slander.
But some still believe it.
Because Su Yi is really too young, in his 20s and less than three years after graduating from college!
Such an achievement is indeed very amazing.
Some people still want to believe that this is the flattery of the system.
Some famous directors who have been famous for a long time also came to see it with doubts.
Such feelings, such quick thinking.
As a director born in the 1980s, I have seen works like Wrangler, and I can understand the central sentiment in it.
Obviously I have to watch a lot of movies to gain such insight.
Today’s events were not planned in advance.
You can tell by looking at Xie Jin's reaction. He was obviously surprised that Su Yi mentioned his work at once.
After all, there is a difference in age.
From this point of view, Su Yi's achievements today did not rely on others.
President of the Film Directors Guild, all members approved!
The warm applause continued during the ceremony.
Su Yi held the certificate of honor and felt an extra sense of responsibility in his heart.
In fact, this so-called association is basically reputation.
Originally, after Director Xie, it should be Li Shaohong, but Su Yi’s light is so dazzling.
Coupled with the previous exposure of Lao Liu's affairs, Li Shaohong's reputation also plummeted.
She was even nicknamed ‘Old Madam’ on the Internet.
Our artists Chen Kun and Zhou Xin even wanted to terminate their contracts at the risk of filing a lawsuit.
Li Shaohong is even more unsuitable now. Being able to come this time is already licking his face.
This is especially true for Chen Kaige. Movies about overseas wars can be judged in comparison.
When I came here this time, I had a dark face the whole time and didn't talk much to anyone.
Just now, there was no applause the whole time, either looking at the sky or the ground.
I felt even more unhappy when I saw Su Yi becoming the president of the Directors Association.
But there is no way. I was mentally prepared before this happened.
Zhang Yimou will not compete with Su Yi for these.
Because this era belongs to Su Yi!
·····
General Administration of Culture and Entertainment.
Su Yi was also sitting in the conference room.
Director Wang nodded gently to Su Yi.
"This time, we invite Director Su, deputy director of CCTV Network Communication Center."
Secretary Wang introduced Su Yi's identity.
Su Yi is under the management of the main station, and the previous review director of the National Film Bureau has also been revoked.
But Su Yi is not only the director of the Overseas Program Center, but also the deputy director of the Internet Communication Center.
This is in line with the business of the General Administration.
The General Administration is responsible for network security monitoring and supervision.
The main station’s mission is to crush rumors and spread positive energy.
In fact, this department was established in 2000.
But CCTV and the General Administration did not pay attention to it at that time. After all, there were too few Internet users at that time.
But now, through Su Yi’s butterfly effect, the Internet has begun to develop rapidly.
The network has the live broadcast rights of TV stations and online spoof videos, as well as the popularity of some network equipment, which has caused the speed of Internet users to grow rapidly.
Even computers are still expensive, but the price of mobile phones has dropped.
There are also more and more mobile phones with WIFI function.
Several major operators have also launched broadband.
And most importantly, after the 2006 documentary that smeared the Dragon Kingdom appeared, Internet supervision became very important.
Because of Su Yi's victory, the Internet is still connected to the world.
Some rumors and the like spread from the Internet.
Su Yi’s mission is to cooperate with the General Administration’s Internet supervision and crush Internet rumors!
Originally Su Yi didn't want to come. After all, he was just a deputy director, mainly responsible for online media.
But there was a major adjustment in the publicity department some time ago, and the director of the Internet Communication Center was promoted.
Su Yi became deputy director and acting director.
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be very happy.
But Su Yi became a little troubled.
There are a lot of things going on recently.
The ratings of programs on international channels have always been very high.
The same goes for program quality.
Special agents from four countries and observing the world have become signatures.
And the animal-related show "Searching for Underwater Monsters" is also very popular.
Originally, Su Yi thought it was nothing just about these things.
After all, the program has been finalized, so just review the program quality every day.
But after the release of Changjin Lake, the movie received a huge response.
The education department, Bayi Factory, and Shanghai Film Academy all made profits, and received praise from superior leaders.
It also sweeps away some bad social topics.
The incident of soldiers fighting overseas has also become a topic of great concern to government departments.
Especially the linkage between the soldiers' assault and Changjin Lake has enhanced the positive image of the soldiers.
Many departments came to Su Yi, some were trustworthy, and some were motivated by reason and emotion.
For example, Director Zhou insisted on letting Su Yi shoot a promotional video about teachers.
The law enforcement leaders even found Su Yi personally after recording the program.
Said Su Yi owed him a 'favor'.
Ask him to make a documentary about publicizing law enforcers.
And the ‘threat’ of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Not really a threat.
Use benefits, favors, and technology to 'tempt' Su Yi.
Because they have got the news.
Marvel's "Iron Man" has been developed and is expected to be released in 2008.
This is a fatal threat to Warner Bros.
After all, Marvel has already started selling its ‘superheroes’ before.
Now it feels like a resurgence.
Warner Bros., which owns DC Comics, became anxious.
Su Yi has been urged to shoot the new Batman.
Because the script is very classic, plus I now have the experience of IMAX·3D movies.
But Su Yi said that he needed to rest.
Dian spent Christmas in Long Kingdom and kept trying to persuade Su Yi to come.
Things are really busy.
If he didn't want to quickly produce a domestic animated film, Su Yi really wouldn't have planned to shoot it so quickly.
I was still reviewing programs on the international channel, but now I was brought to a meeting by the General Administration.
Director Wang would have helped Su Yi back then, if Secretary Wang hadn't sent the message.
Director Wang personally asked about this matter. It is estimated that Su Yi is still at Capital TV Station.
And there is indeed overlap in work, and a meeting is needed to discuss
Su Yi couldn't refuse, so he came over.
"Hello everyone!"
Su Yi stood up and then greeted with a smile.
This is not the kind of occasion where the Directors Guild needs to be polite.
I said hello and left.
In this kind of meeting, just talk less and listen more.
"As the popularity of Changjin Lake is slowly fading, the topics discussed on the Internet have also become diversified. I am calling you here this time because some recent spoof videos have reached some relevant departments!"
Director Wang said slowly.
Then the staff opened a notebook.
On the screen is a spoof video.
It is targeted at staff in various departments.
Although it is a funny video, there is some slander in it.
The video synthesis is very funny.
In some places, it doesn’t even look like a spoof, but rather like a fake one.
For example, some clips of special departments accepting bribes.
Su Yi frowned.
Some of them are indeed smearing, but it can be seen that most of them are ridiculing.
"Director Su once told me before that the Internet is a double-edged sword! The reason why Changjin Lake was so highly publicized before was not only Director Su's personal reputation, but also the publicity of the Internet. Netizens even spontaneously organized an online commemoration! We appreciate such behavior! We can also accept ordinary prank videos, but it is different now. Many people seem to think that making some smear videos can get more attention! This is within the scope of our supervision!”
Director Wang became serious.
This is no joke.
In 2008, many major events happened for the Dragon Kingdom.
Many things will become sensitive.
For example, during the heavy snowfall at the beginning of the year, many things became hot searches.
Many people complained online, led by these spoof videos.
The words became more and more extreme, and even caused certain 'contradictions'.
If things don't work out, Director Wang won't let him come.
However, what makes Su Yi happy is that his previous videos promoting the territory played a very good role.
Many things that should have happened in history have quietly changed.
"The content of this meeting is to discuss whether there should be a new ruler! The Olympics are coming soon, and many forces are confusing right and wrong, just to wait for us to make a joke!"
This time Su Yi did not speak rashly.
Olympics August 8th.
This was a historic lesson. He felt that director Zhang Yi did a good job and there was no need for him to get involved.
But I am good at eliminating these unstable factors.
What happened in 2008.
Wait!
Su Yi recalled it.
Then his eyes opened suddenly.
I almost forgot about this important event!
Since I have traveled through time and now have the ability, I must do something that a time traveler does. Thank you all for your monthly and recommended votes!
