"Slamming the table, being disrespectful and arrogant!"
"A deep dive into the story behind the success of "Mineral Bottom". Behind the chicken soup of the little guy's counterattack, there are hidden talents of many seniors..."
"The new generation director Zhou Yang openly provoked the older generation directors and claimed that he disagreed with their approach..."
"The "China Directors Guild Project" declared bankruptcy due to the opposition of two young directors. Which is more important, interests or structure? Young people cannot only focus on money..."
"Zhou Yilin: Young people are too impetuous. Only by guarding against impetuosity and arrogance can great things be achieved!"
"Director Cao Bangguo: I admire Xiao Zhou's talent very much, but after this party, I am very worried about Xiao Zhou's future. People who can really stay in this industry for a long time are the kind of people who can endure and endure.
People who can tolerate loneliness, who always like to show their uniqueness and show off their uniqueness in everything, who go against the older generation and only focus on the interests in front of them, have been short-lived from ancient times to the present..."
"Jiang Ge: I don't agree with Zhou Yang's talent. In my opinion, Zhou Yang only achieved such great results with the help of his seniors. Otherwise, how could he stand on the awards stage in Berlin on his own?"
"..."
After the meeting, the media, including the Southern Evening News and the Kyoto Morning Post, immediately began reporting part of the meeting with a large banner.
Many veteran directors immediately jumped out and began to openly and covertly question Zhou Yang's award at the Berlin Film Festival through various channels, as well as Zhou Yang's personal directing level.
Every word was like a sharp blade shining with cold light, as if it was going to tear Zhou Yang's image into pieces.
In addition, all kinds of slanderous public opinions poured in from all directions on the Internet immediately. One piece of so-called evidence was cited, overwhelming Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang's image instantly collapsed into slag.
Looking at them all, they almost all made various accusations against Zhou Yang...
The veteran directors are questioning Zhou Yang, and the new generation directors headed by Jiang Ge even directly broke up with each other and madly dissed Zhou Yang through various channels, wishing to nail Zhou Yang to the pillar of shame forever!
They even hyped Zhou Yang as a new generation of "Sixth Generation Director", which is a shame!
Zhou Yang was scolded to death, and Feng Kai's life was even more difficult. All kinds of dirty information about his past were exposed, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
Not long after returning to the "Jinyiwei" crew, Feng Kai received countless calls from investors...
Investors have been asking for a change of director. If the director is not changed, they will withdraw their investment, and the half-finished "Jinyiwei" will be wasted.
The actors in the "Jinyiwei" crew also began to state Feng Kai's various underhand operations during filming on various public occasions, claiming that Feng Kai didn't understand filming at all...
Assistant director Xu Hongbing even openly claimed that Feng Kai came to the position through connections. Originally, he was supposed to be the director of "The Guard", but he was temporarily replaced by Feng Kai.
"Feng Kai, after getting the director's position, never thanked anyone. Instead, he secretly scolded Director Wang Shuai for arranging such a bad crew for him. Once, when he was drunk, he even called Director Wang a bastard...
...I said that I worked so hard for him to film "The Crow", but in the end he was treated like this. I really underestimate him!" Facing the camera and the reporters who came to interview after hearing the news, Xu Hongbing looked serious, as if
Just like the parties involved, the conversation at that time was restored almost word for word.
Feng Kai was extremely angry...
He angrily denounced Xu Hongbing's nonsense in front of reporters. Seeing Xu Hongbing gloating about his misfortune, his lungs were so angry that he could not help but clenched his fists.
Before I could do anything, Xu Hongbing accused Feng Kai of violent tendencies, saying that this is how Feng Kai treated all the actors on the set. Many actors were slapped by Feng Kai because a scene was not shot well. There were a few of them.
The actor even suffered from depression as a result.
Feng Kai's clarification not only had no effect, but caused several young actors and heroines in the crew to jump out and confuse right and wrong, deputy director Xu Hongbing said that everything was true, and the lead actor Zou Qi even got into several movies because of this.
At the hospital, I even had some suicidal thoughts.
……………………
October 18th.
Feng Kai sat on a chair in the crew's office, smoking silently.
His eyes are blood red.
After reading various warnings from investors, Feng Kai felt all kinds of dry emotions surging deep in his throat.
In fact, he didn't sleep all night last night and kept reflecting on the various things he had done before.
Some have been upset, some have regretted, some feel that I am too young and frivolous and want to slap myself hard, and even more, I hate myself for being irrational.
The influence of the older generation of directors is deep-rooted. If they, the new generation of directors, want to have a say, they must rely on the directors of the older generation. Only after they have truly established themselves can they do something and change something.
He should keep a low profile, and even if he has something in his heart, he should hold it in and endure it.
A newly lit candle in the wind will not last long.
Only when it truly becomes a fire, a forest fire, can it take advantage of the wind to burn more and more prosperously.
And now...
Before he even started, he was completely defeated!
He suddenly felt that Zhou Yang was like his nemesis. Before he met Zhou Yang, he was so happy. Although he was not as good as Django, he was still one of the most promising directors after Django.
Join the circle, slowly gain seniority, and wait until those fifth-generation directors slowly retire, then control the right to speak, gradually gain a foothold in the director circle, and become an old man in the director circle...
When he met Zhou Yang, he found that his destiny seemed to have a fork in the road. He gradually deviated from the path he had taken and began to walk down a dark and profound road.
But when he looked back again, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to regret.
There are many words and many things that he has always wanted to do.
Eight in the morning.
Assistant director Zhou Wei knocked on the door and walked into the office.
"Director Feng..."
"What's wrong?"
"The investors withdrew their capital. The lead actor Zou Qi was unable to leave the crew due to contract reasons, but she began to be uncooperative and said all kinds of strange things in front of reporters every day. Assistant director Xu Hongbing and some actors were also arguing about changing directors.
Although the production company behind it, Brother Entertainment, has not made any decision, the senior management is still very angry. I heard that they are already considering changing the director..." Zhou Wei lowered his head. After reporting everything to Feng Kai, he only saw Feng Kai.
Kai nodded, then waved his hand...
After Zhou Wei left, Feng Kai knew that the crew of "Jinyiwei" was about to fall apart.
He suddenly laughed.
"Still too young..."
He shook his head, his smile was a bit self-deprecating, a bit helpless, and more of a sigh.
Just at this time……
He received a phone call.
"Director Feng?"
"Director Zhou..."
"I've heard about the situation over there." Zhou Yang said calmly on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, why do you think our brains are so hot that our arms can't twist the thighs after all..." Feng Kai didn't blame Zhou Yang much, but felt that the two sides were somewhat inseparable.
"Is the total investment in "Jinyiwei" seven million?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Now that four million has been withdrawn, the project sponsor Brother Entertainment will probably change the project..."
"Director Feng, what do you think of the script of "The Golden Guard"?"
"The script is not bad. Director Wang has read it, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the actors who invested in Fangsai are really..."
"Director Feng, do you still remember when we were filming "Under the Mine"?"
"Of course I remember, I will never forget it in this life..." Feng Kai smiled bitterly.
How could I forget!
Feng Kai has been memorizing it all the way from "Under the Mine" to now, and it has been more than a year. Looking at this situation, he is even more unlucky.
"Investment is not a problem at all. When we were filming "Under the Mine", didn't we always come here with nothing? Why can't we start from scratch again? I believe in your ability. Really, "Under the Mine" is really not me
It’s the work of one person, but without your participation, it would be really difficult to complete "Under the Mine"..." Zhou Yang said these words on the phone.
"Zhou Yang, I feel like you have suddenly become a different person. You seem to have become very confident, and at the same time, you have become so strange to me. I really don't feel comfortable with your sudden change..." Feng
Kai felt Zhou Yang's calm voice and finally said this.
"Director Feng, I'm not panicking. I'm stating a fact. I firmly believe in this fact. In fact, we are much better than before. In the past, I didn't have a penny...
...Such difficult days have passed, why can't you be more confident now?" On the phone, Zhou Yang seemed to have drunk a little wine, and his mood was not high, but he was full of indescribable power.
"Zhou Yang, you are right! Nothing can be worse than this thing anyway!" Feng Kai, who had fallen into a trough, found that he was more or less infected by this power, and his mood was not so depressed. He deeply felt that
Take a deep breath.
"Director Feng, if you are free now, come to Huaxing. With the detailed information of "Jinyiwei", let's talk about the movie and the future situation together. Mr. Zhang Genshui is also here. What does he think about you?
Very interested in the movie…”
After Zhou Yang finished saying this, Feng Kai suddenly heard a wave of curses coming from the other end of the phone.
"An investment of seven million is nothing! I invested all of this brocade... Damn it, my brother can be bullied by others..."
"Director Zhou, tell me what we should do. We have money in the bank and we can't have children. Sooner or later inflation will take over..."
"Come on, Director Zhou, let's have another drink. We don't want to be scorned by these stupid directors. We'll shoot it ourselves. If we don't have enough money, tell me. The worst is, I'll sell my house or my car..."
"Anyway...I have nothing to lose anymore!"
"Mr. Zhou, I think you are the great director. What about Zhou Yilin? Whoever wants to see the stupid things he shoots, I never watch them anyway!"
