Because of "Shaolin Temple", many people are busy.
Yang Zhen and others kept their feet on the ground and attended countless various activities.
Invitations were sent to seminars on Chinese martial arts and Shaolin Kung Fu, but he still had to go.
For other movies, the busiest time for the creative staff is the filming and promotion before the movie is released. After the movie is actually released, it is actually fine.
But it doesn't work here at "Shaolin Temple", it's still very busy.
A large group of leading actors all became famous and became popular stars. There were numerous business invitations from all over the country.
This is all real money. No one can interrupt someone’s financial path, right?
Shaolin Temple is also very busy.
The great monks have given up the idea of practicing Qing Dynasty, and the number of admirers who come to offer incense and worship every day has crossed the threshold.
But after coming and seeing it, many people felt that the Shaolin Temple did not live up to its name.
Gradually, such rumors began to spread outside.
The monks were very sad.
The incense has finally become strong, but it cannot be stopped just now.
The local government is also very worried.
Dengfeng is not a wealthy place to begin with. It is located in a remote area and has few projects to create GDP.
Finally, Shaolin Temple has become a tourist attraction, which means huge financial resources.
After discussing with the Shaolin Temple, the government decided to develop the historical and cultural value and tourism resources of the Shaolin Temple, and at the same time promote the influence of Shaolin martial arts.
For a time, the entire Shaoshi Mountain area quickly turned into a large construction site.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before the Shaolin Temple will have a completely new look, allowing the world to take a good look at what a holy place of Zen Buddhism is.
Xiao Qian also had no time to spare and was called to the capital.
Li Jianguo led them into the Great Hall of the People.
It's a small meeting, so it's a side hall, and we're very careful to keep it confidential.
Upon entering, Xiao Qian was quite surprised.
Surprisingly, most of the people present are directors, from several generations, famous and unknown. It is so crowded that even a film festival cannot gather so many people.
Seeing Li Jianguo and Xiao Qian coming in, everyone stood up quickly to say hello and say hello.
One is the father of a supervisor, and the other is a big shot in the industry... who is also a father.
Seeing Li Jianguo go to the leadership row in front, Xiao Qian walked among the directors.
Zhang Guoshi and Feng Buck Ya were on the left and right, holding him back, making the other directors jealous and jealous.
The three of them sat down, Xiao Qian was still confused.
"What are you doing? Why did you find the director?"
Zhang and Feng are still confused.
"You don't know about such a big thing?"
Xiao Qian told the truth.
"I've been busy with too many dramas lately, so how can I have time to pay attention to it?"
Listen, is this human talk?
Zhang and Feng's eyes were red with jealousy.
The two of them have been making movies for so many years, but their combined box office has not reached 100 million.
As for this guy, he only has three movies worth over 100 million yuan.
Then there are still a lot of dramas to be busy with, how do you let others live?
Although Zhang Guoshi is older, Feng Qiaoya is more open-minded.
"Mr. Xiao, there must be a shortage of directors in your company, right? I need help talking to you."
Oh, it’s different. Hey.
Xiao Qian thought of the news conveyed by Han Siping, pursed her lips and smiled, accepting everyone who came.
"This is what you said. Don't ask you to push back when the time comes."
Seeing that Xiao Qian actually agreed, Feng bucked his teeth and smiled particularly happily.
"Just kidding, what's our relationship? Being able to direct your play, Mr. Xiao, is a good thing that no one else dares to think of."
Seeing the two of them chatting in the alley, Zhang Guoshi felt a little itchy.
"Mr. Xiao, I also have some opinions on action scenes. Why don't we find some time to have a good chat."
Of course Xiao Qian has no objection, even if it's cooperation with him, it's okay.
But if Zhang Guoshi dared to do some slow-motion watercolor painting like "Hero" here, he would definitely take action.
Yes, in Xiao Qian's eyes, "Hero" is a bad movie, a real bad movie.
What kind of ideological connotation and special visual effects are broken.
In an action movie, if the action is not shot well, is there any point in talking about other things?
It’s just like the people who liked the bearded version of Jin Yong’s drama in the previous life boasted about it. What’s the use of real-life shooting, beautiful actors, and excellent persuasion?
With her disheveled hair and fluttering sleeves, you can't tell what moves she uses during the fight. She often uses blowers and slow motion. No matter how good other things are, they can't make up for it.
Returning to the scene, Xiao Qian asked again: "What are you doing today?"
Feng smacked his teeth, smacked his lips, and said two words.
"Olympics."
Xiao Qian understood and fell into deep thought at the same time.
There was no need for everyone to wait for a long time. After a while, the leaders came and sat in a row above them.
Everyone was very busy, so the big boss didn’t talk nonsense and got right to the point.
"Comrades, the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games has entered a critical period. In the coming time, how to better publicize our Beijing's advantages will be the key to success or failure. We are all leaders in the domestic film field, and for the image
, all have a superb understanding of art. I invited everyone here today because I want to select a director from among you who can make a good promotional video for the Olympic bid."
As soon as the big leader finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xiao Qian.
Filming!
Who can compare with this one?
Of course, there are also some people who think they are qualified and look at Xiao Qian with wary and dissatisfied eyes.
The big leader added: "In July next year, the International Olympic Committee will announce the selected cities. Our time is tight and the task is heavy, so the people responsible for this matter need to go all out."
Since everyone is looking at Xiao Qian, the big leaders are also looking at him.
"Mr. Xiao, when it comes to making movies in China, no one can compare with you. How about this? What are your thoughts on this task?"
These words really made others go crazy with jealousy.
To put it nicely, everyone is called in and the best ones are selected, but the big boss directly named Xiao Qian.
At this time, as long as he nodded, everyone else's trip would be in vain.
This is the Olympics!
If the 2008 Olympic Games really comes to Beijing, then the person responsible for shooting the Olympic bid promotional video will definitely go down in history.
Now, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in Xiao Qian's hands, will others still have a chance?
Others couldn't object yet, after all, Xiao Qian's achievements were there.
It can be said that he single-handedly reversed the decline of Chinese films for many years. In terms of film achievements, no one else can even compare to him.
Will Xiao Qian agree?
No, he shook his head.
"Thank you for the leadership's attention, but with my experience and ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete such a major event."
The big boss was a little surprised, thinking he was being modest.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, please stop being modest. Your abilities and achievements are all visible to us."
Xiao Qian understood that if he didn't speak more clearly, he might not be able to do it.
"You don't know, but what I do in the film field is actually very scientific. Compared with the artistry of films, I focus more on commercial aspects. So far, I have never filmed or produced an artistic film. And our Olympic bid
Promotional videos obviously need artistry to dominate. In this aspect, it is not my strong point."
When he said this, everyone else also reacted.
Indeed, from Xiao Qian's first film in the industry, "The Opium War," to his current film, "Shaolin Temple," they have all been commercial blockbusters.
That's not to say that it doesn't have artistic connotations, but it obviously can't be compared with pure art films.
Someone whispered something in the big leader's ear, and the big leader's face softened.
It seems that Xiao Qian is not deliberately evading, he is really not suitable.
Otherwise, if you can participate in the Olympic bid, who can not be active in such a big event?
On the contrary, under such a huge temptation of fame and fortune, it is even more rare for Xiao Qian to be able to recognize his own strengths and weaknesses.
The big leader gave Xiao Qian an approving look, but did not let him go easily.
"Then who do you think is qualified for this job?"
Uh-huh...
Everyone's eyes were focused again.
Xiao Qian is about to explode.
You are the leader, why don't you just decide? Why are you asking me?
Aren't you making me offend someone?
"I think Director Zhang is the most suitable. He has rich life experience, has long been concerned about the people's livelihood at the bottom, and has a better understanding of traditional culture and national spirit. At the same time, he is an internationally renowned director and has won numerous awards at major film festivals.
If he is in charge, I believe he can produce a propaganda film that best reflects the spiritual outlook of China."
Xiao Qian stared back one by one, completely unafraid.
I just named Master Zhang. Do you have any opinions?
The panicked and retreating eyes of those people showed that they did not dare to have any opinions. They were just sorry and aggrieved. Why didn't Xiao Qian call their names?
As for hating Xiao Qian...
Xiao Qian is so powerful, will he care?
Among all the people, only Zhang Guoshi's face was red and he was smiling from ear to ear.
Look, even the movie emperor Xiao Qian said we can do it!
Okay, Mr. Xiao, don’t say anything else.
From now on, I will be your person in life, and your ghost in death.
