The reporters were very excited, but Sun Peng did not give them a chance to get even more excited.
Without stopping at the door and turning a deaf ear to the reporters' shouts, Sun Peng walked in directly with the help of the staff, and then saw Chen Zhonglan behind the door.
When the current chairman of the Film Association saw Sun Peng, he immediately came up to him and happily extended his right hand: "Teacher Lao Bai, we are finally waiting for you!"
"Good morning, Teacher Chen, long time no see."
After shaking hands with the other party, Sun Peng said hello with a smile.
He still respects the chairman of the Film Association. On the one hand, it is naturally because of his achievements in films when he was young, and on the other hand, it is also because he is promoting the development of Chinese films...at least in terms of various film exchanges at home and abroad.
contribution in the process!
To put it simply, it still has a lot of merit.
Of course, Chen Zhonglan's prestige is indeed very high, but there is also a lot of criticism in the film circle. For example, in the early years, he deliberately controlled the Magnolia Awards, favored some big stars, and even made the awards more commercial;
For example, using the influence of the Film Association and the Magnolia Awards to get roles for certain actors, etc.
But these things have nothing to do with Sun Peng.
Putting aside his belief that no one is perfect, as far as Chen Zhonglan's contribution to Chinese films is concerned, as long as what the other party does does not violate the law, Sun Peng thinks there is no problem.
If fairness was emphasized in everything, it would be difficult for his cousin to become an actor, let alone a top star in the world, right?
Anyway, Sun Peng was in a very happy mood after chatting with Chen Zhonglan.
This seemingly amiable old man is retiring this year...of course not in the ordinary sense, but retiring from the position of chairman of the Film Association.
"There are two candidates for the chairman of the association, namely director Zhang Hailin and actress Wu Lingling."
While leading Sun Peng inside, Chen Zhonglan said with a smile: "Teacher Sun must have met these two many times, right?"
"Haha, of course!"
After hearing these two names, Sun Peng naturally nodded with understanding.
Wu Lingling is about fifty years old this year. She can be considered an old actress. She was very popular at least more than ten years ago. In China, she is almost equivalent to the level of Lin Lin now. However, the peak period of this actress was very short, especially
After winning two major awards in Europe, he was quickly marginalized by the film industry.
It's not that Wu Lingling's acting skills are not good or she's old. After all, being able to win European awards shows that her acting skills are top-notch, and the actress in her thirties should still be at her peak.
But unfortunately, Wu Lingling's style cannot keep up with the times.
She is not the kind of actor who is famous for her face or figure. If you have to find an example, she may be a bit like Streep in Hollywood on earth. Of course, she may be even worse in terms of strength. Basically, she plays
It is also a literary and artistic film that can show the delicate emotions of the characters. In the era when she was active, this kind of film was quite important in China.
But it happened that more than ten years ago, Chinese cinema began a complete transformation.
The successive successes of period blockbusters stimulated Chinese films, which had been suppressed by Hollywood for a long time, and caused major film companies to devote all their attention to this field. In an instant, there was almost no room for artistic films to survive.
This trend came so quickly that Wu Lingling almost didn't have a chance to react.
Originally, a movie star of her level, even if she was not suitable for commercial masterpieces, would still have enough opportunities to star in some major supporting roles or leading roles in medium and low-cost movies. But for Wu Lingling, she was used to the feeling of standing at the top.
It is too difficult for her to accept this reality.
So after two years of confusion, this energetic actress gritted her teeth and simply turned behind the scenes.
That's right, she started working as a producer!
Relying on her original fame and contacts accumulated in the film industry, Wu Lingling started from low- and medium-cost films and climbed up bit by bit. Fortunately, in addition to her own efforts, luck has always been with her.
, Wu Lingling gradually became a first-class producer in China.
At least within the industry, he, Sima Gang, and a man named Wang are collectively known as the three golden producers!
Of course, many people think that Sima Gang, a golden producer, is a little too rich. After all, too much of his box office comes from Lao Bai...
That's too far.
Anyway, within the Film Association, Wu Lingling has extremely strong competitiveness, mainly due to the contacts and resources accumulated over the past ten years.
As for the director Zhang Hailin, there is not much to say. It is a bit similar to Zhang Guoshi on earth. His reputation and qualifications are all there, and Sun Peng is also quite familiar with them. He still remembers when Zhang Guoshi and Liang Ren found him together and wanted to
Imitate the cooperation with Michael Pitt and Steve Lucas and create something like China's Big Three.
Sun Peng declined the invitation, and Zhang Hailin never had any good works released.
As I get older, I really can’t keep up with the times.
Wu Lingling and Zhang Hailin are both one of the epitome of this era. Maybe they have the ability, connections, and resources, but when Chinese movies are rapidly transforming and developing at a dizzying speed, younger directors and producers may be able to quickly
Keep up, but it's too difficult for them.
After everyone nodded and laughed, Sun Peng couldn't help but said: "Tsk, tsk, two big guys are competing, so I'm afraid there will be a Mars hitting the earth today!"
Reputation, resources, qualifications, none of them are bad!
Seeing that Sun Peng was just watching the fun, Chen Zhonglan subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, the association is very lively during this period... Although there are very few full-time staff, most of them are social workers.
It's just a part-time job, but these directors and stars all have voting rights, so the competition between the two sides is still very fierce."
"Haha, he is the chairman after all!"
After listening to Chen Zhonglan's words, Sun Peng nodded clearly.
He is familiar with this kind of thing!
In his previous life, Sun Peng's big boss was a member of the Professional Committee of the Medical Association, and because he was located in the capital and had the support of the school behind him, he once wanted to be the chairman of the committee. Unfortunately, the competition was really fierce.
It’s too intense. Except for a few majors that have unparalleled bosses and can easily choose the boss, most majors require a lot of time and energy, and even financial resources, to do the work...
Changing the stage from the medical industry to the film industry, there is actually no essential difference.
"Thinking about it this way, the Film Association must actually be beneficial!"
Suddenly remembering what happened in his previous life, Sun Peng blinked and suddenly understood. Maybe for him and many big stars, these benefits may not be seen, but for Wu Lingling and Zhang Hailin, they can no longer see it.
For the big guys who continue to work hard on the front line, this position represents a lot!
Chen Zhonglan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Sun Peng's expression as if it had nothing to do with him and seemed to have no feelings at all.
It seems that this old teacher Bai still doesn't understand what his arrival today means to the two candidates, and he doesn't know what he will encounter soon...
