Chapter 237. [Joined the North American Film Association]
It is said that the upper class in the United States likes to recruit young and promising people from all walks of life, especially celebrities like Yi Feiyang who almost dominate the entertainment industry, and they are within the scope of their recruitment. If Yi Feiyang used Hopeton last time
At the family banquet, he successfully entered this kind of society, so now, he has washed away his title of novice and won the favor of many groups. Major business groups and various political celebrities have all thrown olive branches at him.
Banquets, cocktail parties, private parties...
Playing golf, joining clubs, and various social dances...
Yi Feiyang had a headache, his feet hurt, and all the bones in his body ached. Only then did he realize that it was not easy for upper-class people to do things!
After finally attending various parties, Yi Feiyang originally thought he could relax and devote himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "The Queen Wears Prada". However, it backfired. As a well-known figure in today's upper class society and a popular fried chicken, Yi Feiyang
Feiyang received a grand invitation from the American Film Institute!
What is the American Motion Picture Association?
The Motion Picture Association of America, referred to as "MPAA", is headquartered in California. This organization was founded in 1922 and originally emerged as a trading organization for the film industry. Today it is involved in not only movies released in theaters, but also television
Family photography and other areas of delivery systems that may appear in the future.
It can be said that the film association has great power, such as the film classification system, Oscar awards program, and film review, etc., all of which require their intervention.
Three years ago, when Yi Feiyang was just starting out and filming the horror film "Ghost Story", he began to interact with these "old antiques" from the Film Association. He also experienced the hard process of having a movie banned. Therefore.
Judging from the impression, Yi Feiyang is not interested in this association, especially when a movie is reviewed by these old guys after it is filmed, it feels the most painful... It feels like you have to fight with yourself
Your newlywed wife is getting married, but a group of people come out to examine your wife's whole body, and they strip her naked for the examination meticulously. As for you, you can only watch from the side, hoping that they will just touch you. After seeing it, you will be merciful.
, don’t take any further action...
This was Yi Feiyang's impression of the American Film Association, so when he received the invitation letter from the Film Association, he was dumbfounded for three seconds. He didn't quite understand. These old guys were crazy again. It seemed that the filming of his new movie hadn't started yet.
.
Finally, after contacting Yi Feiyang on the phone, he found out that the Film Association nominates an outstanding filmmaker every two years to serve as the new director of the Film Association. The so-called directors are a group of outstanding filmmakers sitting below.
Listening to these old guys gesticulating at the meeting, and then clapping and praising them... is similar to an audience. But this kind of "audience" is very precious. Many excellent directors, screenwriters, and even film company bosses in Hollywood hope that movies
The association can offer an olive branch, recruit itself, and then close the relationship with these old guys. This is very important. There are people in the government who can do things easily.
It's just that Yi Feiyang doesn't quite understand what kind of bad luck he has, and why he is favored by these people? It seems that he is not a good boy who follows the rules.
When Yi Feiyang had this question, he couldn't help but call his friend Gusta to ask for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, when Gusta heard what she said, he immediately exclaimed: "No way, dear Yi, are you invited?"
Yi Feiyang couldn't understand, Gusta's reaction was too big. Finally, he found out that Gusta was also one of the directors of the Film Association, but it took him six years to be admitted to the film association.
The association took notice and recruited him. Whenever the Film Association held a meeting about something important, Gusta would be honored to be invited to attend, and then he could express his opinions directly at the meeting, shining like a representative of the National People's Congress.
Today, I heard that the Film Association is negotiating some issues regarding movie theaters and is about to hold a meeting of filmmakers. As a Chinese director who is now dominating Hollywood, Yi Feiyang won the Oscar for Best Screenplay and is a film company boss. It can be said that his status
It was very special. Even if the old guys from the Film Association wanted to "ignore" him, they couldn't, so they took advantage of the situation and recruited him as a new director of the Film Association to participate in the discussion of this conference.
Yi Feiyang finally understood that this was not because he was talented and shocked these old people, but because they wanted to build a face-saving project, so he used himself as a show to show the outside world. Knowing how democratic and free this film association is,
I like to absorb the old and absorb the new...
In any case, according to Gusta, this is a rare opportunity. If you can enter the Film Association, it means that you have been truly accepted by Hollywood and have begun to represent American movies. You are not fighting alone.
Became a "National People's Congress Representative"!
Therefore, Yi Feiyang decided to participate in this film conference no matter what!
…
Three days later, the Filmmaker Conference organized by the North American Film Industry Association began.
When Yi Feiyang came outside the MGM Grand Hotel, he couldn't help but feel extremely depressed. This was a five-star hotel, and he actually came by taxi with Dures.
Looking at Yi Feiyang's indignant look, Dures said with a half-smile but not a smile: "It's really pitiful, man, your Mercedes-Benz has almost become a special car for Rabbit Bill and the gang, but it has left you as the master aside.
.”
It's not because the company has no money to buy a new car, but because the fat man Gao Jiabao has kept the company's money bag too tight, and it's difficult to buy some luxury goods.
Joking aside, Yi Feiyang and Dures got off the taxi, and then Yi Feiyang looked at the legendary "MGM Hotel" curiously.
The Hilton Hotel has always been the place that Yifeiyang has been in contact with the most. Although he has worked hard in Hollywood for so many years, this is the first time he has come to this hotel. Moreover, Yifeiyang has also signed a contract with Hilton, and he can get a 30% discount when staying at the Hilton.
I have never been to MGM Yifeiyang. Saving money is the first priority.
Just as he was looking up at the building like a country bumpkin looking up at an international metropolis, a white Ferrari behind him honked its horn several times to urge the taxi in front to leave quickly.
Just as Yi Feiyang continued to look up, the guy in the Ferrari came down. At first glance, it was clear that he was a very important person. You can tell this just by looking at his weight. But this obviously did not disturb Yi Feiyang's happy mood, until
The fat white man looked here and cursed angrily at the secretary beside him: "Damn it, let the people in the hotel drive away these country bumpkins, don't let them hinder me here!"
It must be mentioned that Yi Feiyang has always dressed very simply. Although she was styled by the fashion king Lagerfeld once on the Oscar red carpet, which made her pretty and blind people's eyes, it was a hit for a while, but it soon disappeared.
Under the supervision of Lagerfeld, the old Buddha, Yi Feiyang was quickly brought back to his original form. He is still free and uninhibited, and follows the principle of wearing clean and comfortable clothes.
According to the attire in front of Yi Feiyang, although it is not a famous brand, it is not a local stall. The reason why he was mistaken for a country bumpkin by the fat white man is also due to Dures beside him... If it is said that Yi Feiyang wears clothes
If his taste is clean and simple, then Dures is slovenly. To be more precise, he has no taste at all. No matter what brand of clothes he wears for three days, they will turn into wrinkled rags.
So seeing that Yi Feiyang has such a weird partner, it's not surprising that the fat man has such a misunderstanding. But Yi Feiyang heard it and glanced at the other person, but he didn't take it seriously. Such a fool didn't even know him, so why bother with him?
What.
But he didn't mess with everyone, but he did. As soon as he and Dures walked into the hotel, two security guards came up to them. They didn't really intend to drive them away, but they just came to deal with it and said they were talking about a big hotel.
It's not like he doesn't even have this quality.
"Ah? Are you China Yi?" One of the black security guards immediately became excited as soon as he approached. This guy is a die-hard fan of Yi Feiyang. He has watched almost all the movies written and shot by Yi Feiyang, so he can recognize Yi Feiyang right away.
Come flying.
The black security guard hurriedly greeted him: "God, I really like the movie you filmed. Can you sign your autograph for me?"
Yi Feiyang sweated. He had kept a very low profile, but someone could actually recognize him at a glance. He didn't look ordinary red.
After signing the two security guards' names, the movie fan security guard pointed at the fat white man and asked: "Yi, do you know that man? His assistant asked me to drive you away just now, saying that you are country bumpkins! I looked at him
He is a countryman, even you don’t know.”
After smiling with the security guard, Yi Feiyang and Dures patrolled for a week and saw Gusta. Gusta glared at Yi Feiyang a few times: "What time is it? You just arrived so late. Come on up."
When he arrived at the venue, Yi Feiyang was immediately shocked. There were not just one or two people here, but a huge crowd of people.
Although it is indeed an exaggeration to say this, there are always 60 people, including the bosses of the seven major Hollywood film companies, as well as the presidents and directors of other film companies. Anyone who knows Yi Feiyang is calling this upstart in the film industry.
Hello, to Yi Feiyang's surprise, there were also Paramount's Ramone and the great director Spielberg.
However, Yi Feiyang quickly understood that Paramount was one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood, and it was only natural for Raymond to be selected as a director. As for Spielberg, let alone Spielberg, one of the top directors, if
It would be strange if the American Film Association didn't win him over.
Yi Feiyang's position is at the bottom of this round table meeting. Not to mention, when he first arrived, Yi Feiyang could hardly find his position. Fortunately, the old man Gusta guided the way.
But then again, at this Film Association meeting, except for a few senior chairmen, most of the so-called "directors" are just audience members who are ready to applaud, and they belong to the supporting stream.
Of course, people like Raymond and Spielberg still have a say. After all, the trees are big and have deep roots, and they have capital. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
