Chapter 986 The stage has been set for you (2 more updates, please subscribe)

In fact, based on seniority, Wei Jingcheng is more advanced.
He has been working in the Chinese film and television industry for more than ten years, and has produced dozens of TV series, movies, and plays, not even a hundred. In terms of awards, he has won the Director Grand Slam in the Chinese television industry and the film industry, with "The Wind".
It can be said that except for Hong Kong, he has won all the director awards!
The influence is not bad at all.
Logically speaking, he is fully qualified to host a China International Film Festival.
But the three major awards are combined into one. There is a lot of dispute in this area. Of course, the mainland is convinced, but Xiangjiang and Wanwan each have their own opinions.
Wei Jingcheng is one of Lin Fang's favorite Chinese directors and producers.
If not for this, Lin Fang's preferred candidate for this year's film festival should be Wei Jingcheng...
It's a pity that I didn't pass. I can only regret, "It's not this year, it will be the same after two years!"
The final decision on Xia Yu was also questioned, and even in January this year, there was still controversy.
But in Lin Fang's eyes, Xia Yu was so impressive today!
Forge ahead bravely, and you will be better than your predecessor - "Twilight 4" in January, Best Actress in Cannes in May, and "The Hunger Games 1" in July, directly pushed Xia Yu to the highest level in the Chinese film industry
point!
He has become the most representative actor in the Chinese film and television industry.
Xia Yu's appointment as director of the Jury Committee of the 5th China International Film Festival was announced internally early this morning.
Unlike last year's small-scale discussions at the top level, the top level at the Filmmakers Association made a thorough announcement.
But it is kept confidential for the time being.
The day before, Wei Jingcheng received a call from Lin Fang, "Old Wei, are you interested in serving as the deputy director of this film festival?"
Under normal circumstances, Wei Jingcheng would definitely refuse - just because he is not arrogant does not mean that he is not proud.
In this circle, the directors and actors who can currently convince him can be counted on two hands - how can those other than two hands, to put it bluntly, be worthy of being cast by him?
Until Lin Fang said: "The chairman of the committee has been decided, Xia Yu!"
Wei Jingcheng turned around, fearing that Lin Fang would change his attention, and nodded directly, "I agree!"
Lin Fang laughed loudly, "What? Are you so happy to become Xia Yu? Didn't you think of rejecting me just now?"
Wei Jingcheng didn't want to accept Lin Fang's trick, so he half-truthed and half-falsely said, "Take Yu Bao's heat!"
But Lin Fang can guess a thing or two about what he actually thinks - it's about the movie script!
At the same time, the members of the review committee have been basically finalized.
Guo Hongqing serves as the secretary-general. Members of the same jury, mainlanders, are basically familiar with Xia Yu. Actor Cheng Zhiqing, director Zheng Teng, actor Ning Lifen, four Xiangjiang directors, actors, and Wanwan also arranged four
Judges!
Almost all of them are acquaintances of Xia Yu, at least they have met and talked to them, and they are all senior Xia Yu.
Lin Fang was worried about this list.
Wei Jingcheng called. As Xia Yu expected, she had adjusted her mentality. She smiled slightly and said: "Yes... I heard from Teacher Lin Fang that I invited you to be the deputy director? So Director Wei agreed? Come and discuss with me.
What is the schedule for the China International Film Festival?”
Wei Jingcheng is familiar with him, and he usually has a bit of humor in chatting: "Yes! I didn't plan to participate at first, but I heard from Lao Lin that you agreed to it. If I make a move, I can't come over to take advantage of the heat.
?”
"What Lao Lin means is that I don't know your schedule here. Are you going to follow along? Preliminary review, re-review, final review, or wait until October? Wait until the films that have entered the main competition unit are released before participating?"
When she learned about Lin Fang's arrangement, Wei Jingcheng was shocked, "Old Lin, you really dare. Even our acquaintances and elders think it's not good. Are you not afraid of the people in Xiangjiang and Wanwan who are unconvinced and make trouble?
"
Lin Fang snorted and said with a smile: "Do you really think I dare to do this? Isn't this just a way of saying that the upper lip touches the lower lip and the words are rushed? Isn't this to stabilize Xia Yu? Otherwise, what?
Does it show our sincerity in 'lowering down'? If I really do this, let alone Wanwan, there is no way Xiangjiang will agree, and people like the Filmmakers Association will tear me apart!"
Is love based on retreat?
Wei Jingcheng: "Hahaha - Lao Lin, you are such a thief!"
As expected, I heard Xia Yu say:
"How dare you? Since you agreed, decided to participate and serve as the director, you have to follow it from beginning to end!"
Just when Wei Jingcheng wanted to say that Lin Fang was worthy of being an old fox, Xia Yu teased: "Don't think that I don't know the pit you seniors have dug for me, aren't you just determined to eat me? You are waiting for me.
, I have to talk to my teacher later!"
"Harm!" Wei Jingcheng quickly clarified the relationship, "This has nothing to do with me. As you know, I just received the order. If I had known earlier, I would have discussed the matter with you!"
Xia Yu couldn't stop laughing, "Yes, we have to rely on Director Wei for all the matters at the film festival later - let's not mention this for now. Director Wei will have to put more effort into the arrangements for the film festival later.
!”
Although Xia Yu followed Mr. Zhuang and led the first China International Film Festival Jury Committee.
But in fact, she just went through the motions that time, and she was not familiar with the things that actually needed to be arranged.
On the contrary, Wei Jingcheng has basically gone through the process of being the director of review committees for various film awards and TV series awards in Mainland China, and he is no longer familiar with it.
Although on the surface, Xia Yu's itinerary is really not what Lin Fang said:
Wait until the opening ceremony of the film festival before joining the team. Don’t worry about the first two rounds of judging. The final judging is here - the film festival is here, that’s it!
But when it comes to work, Lin Fang really does this.
Lin Fang arranged for Wei Jingcheng to serve as deputy director, which was actually equivalent to arranging management for Xia Yu.
In Wei Jingcheng's words - "Old Lin just arranged for me to be a handyman for you!"
At this film festival, Lin Fang invited Xia Yu for two reasons:
One is to use Xia Yu's influence to make the whole of China, Asia, and even the world watch this movie feast...
The second step is to brush up Xia Yu’s qualifications!
This is also the most important factor that Xia Yu can't get rid of: The stage has been set up for you, but you still don't know how to show your favor?
Therefore, when Wei Jingcheng called, Xia Yu quickly expressed his feelings and attitude:
"When the film festival is over, I really need to treat Director Wei to a nice meal!"
Wei Jingcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What Lao Chi said is true. You are just a frank and good partner. You will never treat someone to a meal, but no one wants to eat your meal!"
"Nothing has been done, but you still owe me two meals."
Xia Yu: "Really? Didn't I invite them all? How come Director Chi is like this - how can he bury someone like this? I will go to the devil's capital right away. I even invited him for a month. He is so short-tempered that I can't do it.
Let him ruin my reputation!"
Wei Jingcheng laughed:
"Don't say it was me who said it - isn't that a bargain? I have to withhold this month's meal subsidy from him!"
After a few jokes, the two of them got closer and finally got down to business.
