Chapter 353 The Man in the Dream
After the middle-aged and young people left, Han Sanping chatted with Xu Kun for a while, but he didn't talk about the new movie. He mainly asked Xu Kun about his experience in filming "Assembly".
Later, the secretary came in and reminded that there was a meeting at 9:30, so Han Sanping reluctantly sent Xu Kun to the elevator.
When leaving, Han Sanping suddenly said: "There will be a symposium at Beijing Film Academy in a few days. If you are not busy, come and have a look."
"Symposium?"
Xu Kun hesitated and said: "What kind of symposium is it?"
Han Sanping said matter-of-factly: "What else can it be about? Of course it's a symposium for directors. It mainly allows you, the sixth-generation directors, to sit down and communicate with each other. By the way, you can chat and solve your doubts with the students of China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy." .
The group of people who are engaged in underground films have just had a bad experience recently, and they are always complaining about others. You and Ning Hao should also go and talk about your creative ideas, so as not to pass down the flames of resentment and depression. ”
Xu Kun was stunned: "Am I considered a sixth-generation director?"
When it comes to sixth-generation directors, his impression is that they are those who ban one film after another, and even if it is not banned, it is impossible to show it in public.
How come I, a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have been classified as one?
"Otherwise, there is no such thing as the seventh generation. If you are not the sixth generation, can you still be the fifth generation?" Han Sanping did not give Xu Kun a chance to refuse, and said directly: "I will ask the film school to give it to you later. When sending out invitations, remember to prepare a speech in advance.”
"This, I..."
Xu Kun still wanted to refuse, but the elevator happened to have arrived. Han Sanping gave him a push and urged: "Don't be so nagging, just say what you want to say when the time comes. I believe you have a sense of propriety."< br>
Of course Xu Kun was measured, but he really didn't know what to say.
Talk about the creative concept of "People on the Road"?
That thing was purely copied. He, a porter, has a shitty creative idea?
Let’s talk about the creative concept of “Dragon World”?
At that time, I mainly wanted to study and practice systematically, and I didn't come up with anything new - that is, my martial arts movements and costumes and props were pretty good, but I was criticized by those conservatives.
As for the script adaptation...
It seems like it was just an extra drama for Hao Lei.
Talk about the creative concept of the new film?
There is a lot to be said about this, and he has participated in every aspect of it, but the project has not yet been formally established, and it seems not suitable for public discussion.
Otherwise, wouldn't it lose a lot of suspense if it spread out?
Xu Kun thought about it all the way but couldn't figure out the reason. As a result, not long after returning home, he received an invitation call from Beijing Film Studio.
The person on the other end of the phone claimed to be Xie Xiaojing, the director of Youth Film Studio.
Youth Film Studio is a school-run enterprise invested by Beijing Film Academy. It is mainly used as a creative practice base for teachers and students of the film school.
This symposium was initiated by Qingying Film Studio, with the intention of exploring a way out for the sixth generation and young directors in their confused middle age.
Inviting Xu Kun and Ning Hao was also Director Xie's idea.
"This is an internal symposium and is not open to the media. Director Xu can speak freely if he has anything to say. Don't hesitate."
Why do you listen to this as if you are expecting to make a big splash at the symposium?
The more Xie Xiaojing said this, the more unsure Xu Kun felt, so he simply called Liu Haibo and asked if Lao Liu had any experience in this area.
When Lao Liu heard that Xu Kun was going to Beijing Film Academy to attend a symposium, he wanted to feel sour and wishful to float along his cell phone.
However, when he mentioned the person involved, he put on a look of gloating: "I don't think there is much difference between what you say. Anyway, I definitely can't urinate in the same pot as those people.
Jia Zhangke has recently been embarrassed at his grandma's house. In the past, he always said that the country did not allow it to be released, but now the two films are more popular than the other.
"The Good Man from Three Gorges" had to be released on the same day as Lao Mouzi's "The Golden Armor". As a result, the total box office was only 300,000, which was nearly a thousand times less than Lao Mouzi! ”
"Is "The City of Golden Armor" good to watch?"
Xu Kun asked the question sincerely. When this movie was released, he was busy filming "Assembly", so he paid attention to it.
"Uh~"
The bangs were stuck for a moment, and then he said: "Some parts should suit your aesthetic."
What do you mean by ‘certain parts’? If you want to say that certain parts are aesthetically pleasing, then...
"Let's get down to business."
Liu Haibo didn't wait for Xu Kun to ask further questions, and then said: "If I were you, I would use age as an excuse when I go there. If he wants to be easy to discuss, you can compliment each other with him. If there is any objection, you can say that we are like this." What happens to a generation?
These veterans who were born in the 1960s and before 1975 used to be critical of fifth-generation directors and complained about being suppressed and excluded - now it is their turn as seniors, why should they blame us young people? ”
Xu Kun: "..." What a 'post-60s and pre-75s' person, as long as the co-author is a little older than you, Liu, they all belong to the old gang?
This is indeed a way, but Xu Kun always feels that it is a bit meaningless to talk about age alone. He still has to come up with something hard, and it is best to treat others in their own way.
What are the characteristics of the sixth generation of directors?
Uncover marginalized figures and the dark side of society, euphemistically speaking for the disadvantaged groups, and supervise the official to make changes.
The previous Xu Kun has not touched it, but he has already done it to speak out for disadvantaged groups and supervise the official to make changes - just last winter, the 12306 network was born five years ahead of schedule.
Although this is mainly the effect brought about by the TV series, this plot was written by Xu, and it was also derived from the movie, so it is naturally the result of his key work.
In this way, Xu Kun searched for a template from the Internet, copied the text and used it independently, and a speech draft that avoided the truth and filled the air was quickly released. Apart from having no actual nutrition, it can be said to be comprehensive.
By the time I finished writing, it was almost noon.
Xu Kun rummaged through the refrigerator and found that the fast food hadn't been replenished yet, so he was about to call Bao Qiang and go out to eat together.
As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bao Qiang walking out excitedly, his hair tangled as if it had been licked by a dog.
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother Kun, Miss Hu invites me to dinner!"
Bao Qiang laughed so hard that snot bubbles almost came out of his nose.
"Really?"
Xu Kun couldn't believe it, but he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. He threw the key of the E280 over and said: "Drive my car out. Be more generous when we meet. Don't be too tight-fisted."
"Hey~"
Baoqiang readily agreed. After taking the key, he couldn't wait to take the elevator and ran directly from the stairwell downstairs.
Could it be that spring has really arrived?
Xu Kun put on a mask and sunglasses and went downstairs. He walked around the nearby pedestrian street but couldn't find a suitable restaurant - mainly because there were no private rooms for what he wanted to eat, and he didn't really want to set up a table for cooking.
In the end, I had to pack two bowls of Lanzhou Ramen and prepare to take them home to eat.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I received a call from Baoqiang: "Brother Kun, are you free tonight?"
"What's wrong?"
"Ms. Hu would like to treat you to dinner tonight."
"..."
It turned out that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.
However, supporting the younger brother is also one of the eldest brother's responsibilities, so Xu Kun readily agreed.
But when she got home, she found that Jiang Yiyan had brought Tang Yan, and there were a lot of pictures of girls on the table like poker cards.
Seeing Tang Yan stand up to greet him, Xu Kun handed over the ramen noodles, pointed to the kitchen and said: "There is a big bowl in the small cabinet on the left. Just put half of the spicy food on it."
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked into the kitchen and started working.
Xu Kun sat next to Jiang Yiyan, flipped through the photos and asked, "What are you doing? Why are there so many photos?"
"Hey~"
Jiang Yiyan leaned into Xu Kun and said with a smile: "Brother Kun, see if there is anything you like. If there is, Xiao Tang and I will get it for you, so that you can live the life of a young master from a noble family."
Her idea of focusing on those born in the 1990s was ultimately dissuaded by Yang Mi, mainly because she was afraid of being reported, so she had to wait another two years before launching it.
However, Yang Mi provided a new idea, which is the origin of the photos on the table.
"You just got it?"
Seeing these photos, Xu Kun looked fat and thin, with good looks and figure, so he guessed: "Which TV station is hosting a talent show again, right? Didn't the radio and television just introduce a policy not to broadcast it during prime time?"
"This is different!"
Jiang Yiyan, as if asking for credit, placed a stack of photos on Xu Kun's right side: "These are Xue Baochai."
Then he placed another pile on Xu Kun's right hand side: "These are Lin Daiyu."
Xu Kun suddenly realized: "Beijing and Taiwan produced "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
