Knowing that he could not run away, as long as Feng Xiaogang met him, he would definitely tell this matter in front of the leader. Therefore, it was impossible for Ye Ming to run away even if he wanted to. Therefore, Ye Ming asked curiously: "
Director Feng, what kind of meeting is this? I just came back from Hong Kong City and I don’t know what happened. You actually want the leader to summon us to a meeting?"
Under normal circumstances, leaders will only convene a meeting when there are relatively important matters, and it is impossible not to convene a meeting unless you have a certain status.
But the leader has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible for the leader to spare time for a meeting if it is not an important matter. Ye Ming understands this very well.
Feng Xiaogang was not polite at all, complaining: "It's not a big thing, it's not a small thing. The third master summoned us this time. Basically, I can guess why he was kicked. Not only you, but also Zhang Yimou,
Chen Kaige has been summoned. It's just for the Golden Rooster Award. What else can they do? What else can those experts do besides scheming to curry favor with the leaders? What have they done for Chinese films?
Their contributions are all from a group.”
At this time, Ge You coughed twice and said: "Okay, okay, Teacher Feng, some things you just understand in your heart. It's easy to offend people when you say it. You still think you haven't offended enough people. These things are all
The leadership decides what we should do."
If Feng Xiaogang's words were known by reporters, they would probably be criticized by those experts again. Ye Ming knew very well that there had been a grudge between Xiaogang Pao and the Golden Rooster Award for more than ten years, and the two sides did not buy it.
At this time, Feng Xiao calmed down a little and said, "Come on, Ye Ming, you know this is the case. I heard that your [Crazy Stone] was not shortlisted for this year's Golden Rooster Award, right?"
I knew those grandsons would do this. Look at what's on those Golden Rooster Film Festivals. The combined box office of all the films is not even half of the box office of your film. I still have the nerve to let you go.
If you are shortlisted, they still won the prize. If they give you the prize, they will become a decoration. If they don't give you the prize, it will be a slap in their own faces. Therefore, they might as well not give it to you at all.
Let you be shortlisted, out of sight and out of mind."
This actually gave Feng Xiaogang a feeling of sympathy. In fact, when he was in [Party A and Party B], Feng Xiaogang originally thought that he had achieved such a high box office. In such a situation, he finally deserved his glory.
No matter how you say it, the Best Director award should always be yours, otherwise your contribution to Chinese films will be in vain. But at this time, Feng Xiaogang, who was full of enthusiasm, was given a slap in the face, and the Golden Rooster Award was not at all
Let's play with him, and [Party A and Party B] were not even shortlisted. It can be said that this is quite a cheating result. It makes Feng Xiaogang extremely depressed.
Different from the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flowers Award is in full swing. It can be said that as long as Ge You is nominated, basically the Best Actor of the Hundred Flowers Award will not become someone else's, because it is an audience vote, and there was no Internet at that time.
When it comes to voting, it is basically impossible to operate in secret. The Hundred Flowers Award can basically slap the faces of the experts of the Golden Rooster Award every year.
This is the difference between Chinese experts and the audience. Chinese film experts basically have only one task, which is to treat the audience as primary school students. If they themselves are the teacher, even if the teacher says that one plus one is equal to three, the primary school students must also say it right. But now
The contradiction in the Chinese film industry is the contradiction between the increasing appreciation level of the audience and the declining IQ of the experts.
Seeing that he was involved, Ye Ming quickly said: "I'm not surprised about this matter. If you don't get shortlisted, don't be shortlisted. What's the big deal? But none of us were shortlisted. If the leader has anything to do with us, he won't let it happen anyway.
Let’s join the film industry, shall we?”
If that's really the case, then the level of leadership is really beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Although Feng Xiaogang was just a young man, he thought for a moment and said, "Well, the leader won't deceive people like that."
In fact, Feng Xiaogang really ignored the level of the leader. When the agreed time came, the three of them went together, but this time they were not in the conference room. Therefore, this also meant that this was not a serious meeting, but something like
Something like a ventilation meeting.
There are two large sofas in Han Shanping's office. On one sofa are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and on the other are Ye Ming, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You. The barriers are clearly defined, like a well.
Don't go against the grain, this also represents a huge gap between the fifth generation directors and the sixth generation directors.
In fact, this gap can not be made up by box office. Han Shanping seemed to have just come over from a meeting. He hurriedly threw the documents on the table and said with a cup of steaming tea: "I'm looking for you guys today. In fact,
It’s not a big deal if you lose, so don’t be restrained. What I want to say is about the Golden Rooster Award. How do you feel about it? Director Zhang, please tell me first.”
At this time, Zhang Yimou seemed more and more dull like a farmer. Director Zhang was actually very good at taking advantage of this. Therefore, he laughed twice, like an old farmer from northern Shaanxi squatting in front of his door to eat.
Said: "I really haven't considered this matter. I've been busy with an opera recently, and "No One Is Less" has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. I will go there to promote it when the time comes, so I can't delay this matter.
, I guess I won’t be able to go then.”
Zhang Yimou is so awesome. If you don’t go, you simply look down on the quality of the Golden Rooster Awards. If I want to go, I should go to a film festival like Cannes. Only then can I show Zhang Yimou’s ability. And with such a tone, everyone present
Only Zhang Yimou had the confidence to speak out like this.
People really have the ability to do this. Even Han Shanping can't help it. Zhang Yimou made a movie about Project Hope and actually said it could be shortlisted for an international award. What does this mean? It shows that the international community still respects our Project Hope.
It is very recognized and praised. Therefore, the country must strongly support the national teachers to go out and see.
Han Shanping hesitated for a moment and said: "Since it's like this, forget it. Director Chen, what about you? You should definitely go. Your movie [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin] is the movie with the most nominations. If this
If you don't go to a film festival, then it won't be easy to talk about it."
In fact, Han Shanping also had his own wishful thinking. He knew that Zhang Yimou's "No One Can Be Missed" was shortlisted for Ghana. Therefore, he did not expect Zhang Yimou to pass when he installed it. But Chen Kaige was different. Chen Kaige
The movie is a big hit, and there is almost no problem winning awards. The question is how many awards he will get in such a situation. And at this time, if Chen Kaige goes, then with "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin"
If the main creators of such a film come together, it will definitely support the entire film festival.
Just look at the cast list of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and you will know that it is a heavyweight.
However, it is a pity that Han Shanping considered such an issue from the perspective of an official. In such a situation, with Ye Ming here, the box office of Ye Ming's "Crazy Stone" was
There are several streets away from [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin]. Therefore, Han Shanping asked such a question, but he did not consider Chen Kaige's face at all, and the slap was very loud. Therefore, Chen Kaige was at this moment
There was no luster on his face.
If you talk about it privately, Chen Kaige really gives Han Shanping this face, but if you talk about it publicly, doesn't it make Chen Kaige look bad? Moreover, Zhang Yimou is not going. As an international director,
Naturally, Chen Kaige will not lower his status. If Zhang Yimou doesn't go, I won't go either.
Therefore, Chen Kaige said very politely: "I have to participate in an event at the Tokyo International Film Festival, so I'm afraid my mentor Hu won't be able to go. The schedules may be separated."
If you, Zhang Yimou, go to Cannes, it is impossible for me, Chen Kaige, to be abroad. Although the Tokyo International Film Festival is not as influential as the Cannes Film Festival, it is impossible for me, Chen Kaige, to be in China. We still need to save face.
Chen Kaige's reasons are actually quite sufficient. In such a matter, Han Shanping did not think of this problem. He accidentally glanced at Zhang Yimou and understood that Chen Kaige was competing with Zhang Yimou. He couldn't help but secretly think in his heart.
He sighed, this matter was a bit difficult to handle.
In fact, for this Golden Rooster Award, as long as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou go to one of them, there will be enough points to buy. But in fact, this is almost impossible. Either both directors go, or else
Don't go to any of them.
At that moment, Han Shanping glanced at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Director Feng, what do you mean?"
Feng Xiaogang was even more straightforward. Although he said that he was not as angry as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, he was very straightforward and said directly: "Boss, please spare me. I also have my own affairs."
, I originally wanted to shoot "A Sigh" this time, but it was said that this is a literary film and it will not be very marketable. They asked me to shoot a New Year's film. And they said that if I shoot three New Year's films, that would make people
I was filming this movie [Sigh], so under such a situation, even if I wanted to go through it, it would be impossible. I don’t have time. The crew will be very busy by then and I won’t be able to spare the time at all.
Starring Yuzi, I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to go home.
Besides, I wasn’t even shortlisted for this one, so why bother trying to make fun of me? It’ll be so embarrassing when I get there. Do you think I’m going to receive the award or to present the award? It doesn’t count.”
To say that Feng Xiaogang is very poor, even when talking to leaders, he always looks for opportunities to be talkative. But Feng Xiaogang's complaints are actually not unreasonable. Even if Chen Kaige is shortlisted, he will not go.
Those who were not shortlisted did not feel ashamed to join in the fun. Han Shanping also knew about Feng Xiaogang, and he was on the scene when the matter was settled.
Therefore, it seems that Feng Xiaogang's words are a bit unconvincing, and the film festival has been directly rejected by making a movie.
Since it was Feng Xiaogang's movie, Ge You must not be able to escape. Therefore, Han Shanping took a look at Ge You's honest face, sighed and said: "Forget it, everyone is not easy to worry about.
, Ye Ming, what do you think? Don't tell me that you also have a movie to make.
[Liang Jian] You don’t have to worry about it, there’s someone else to worry about, I’ll keep an eye on it and there won’t be any accidents.”
Of the five people I found, four already said they had good reasons not to go, and the only one left was Ye Ming.
This person Han Shanping would not let him go easily no matter what he was suitable for. Moreover, Ye Ming had not applied for any movies. Even if he applied, Han Shanping would not let anyone approve it. Feng Xiaogang had applied for it a long time ago.
Calculate.
Otherwise, the approval would be postponed. Ye Ming knew early on that it would be his turn. He was the most junior and could not rely on his elders like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, but he definitely could not be like Feng Xiaogang.
loquacious.
Looking at Han Shanping's expression, he knew that if he didn't have a good reason, it would be absolutely impossible for him to shirk it. Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "I don't have any movies to shoot, and the current progress of [Bright Sword] is also
It's quite good, but Qiong Yao has a TV series to shoot, and the original cast of Huanzhugege will be used.
The director has not changed, it is still Director Li Ping, and the starring role is still the same. It is still me, Zhao Wei, Su Youpeng and Lin Xinru. According to Director Li Ping's habit, it is estimated that the possibility of working in two shifts is relatively high. I estimate that by then I will
There is no time to participate.”
Han Shanping didn't expect Ye Ming to do this. What happened to Ye Ming in the movie? It was because he still had a TV series waiting for him?
At that moment, Han Shanping asked people to look up the TV series Ye Ming mentioned, and his people quickly reported back that there was such a TV series.
Han Shanping was a little unhappy: "Why don't I know anything about applying for this TV series?"
The subordinate also said very euphemistically that the TV series named "Love in the Rain" was co-produced with China Channel, and China Channel naturally had its own reporting channels.
Now Han Shanping was speechless. As a national channel, Tianchao Channel naturally has its own privileges.
Even if Han Shanping wants to stop this, it is impossible. Come on, now, none of the five people have time, which makes Han Shanping very depressed. (To be continued...)
