This is a feast for the Chinese film collective. Directors and actors of all sizes, as long as they are slightly relevant, must find a chance to go in. The premiere ceremony of Guangming Cinema was initially planned to accommodate twenty colleagues.
Even though it was quite crowded, but in the end, there were not hundreds of people on Tuomen Road looking for connections. Even if we had a quick look, the names of the remaining people all seemed to have connections... Moreover,
It’s hard to say no to anyone. If New Film Alliance wants to develop, it can’t offend everyone.
Therefore, Chairman Liu was in a difficult situation at this time. The premiere of twenty people was already the largest number, and it would be almost impossible to attend any more.
But after seeing the streamlined list, it was impossible to win anyone.
This time Chairman Liu felt that he had the urge to shoot himself in the foot. This was simply a painful and torturous process. It was obviously said that it would be a credit, but if it was said that this
If the premiere ceremony was not handled well, the New Film Alliance might use him as a scapegoat.
Thirty people, it is obviously impossible to sit down on the rostrum. What should we do? It is about to start in half an hour. Reporters have already been waiting at the scene, and the actors and directors are not there.
Being late, many people even said they arrived half an hour early. This is simply unimaginable, which shows how great the charm of George Lucas is.
When the time came, Ye Ming came over with Fan Binbin. As he approached, Ye Ming said hello: "Dr. Liu, you are a busy man. You are a landlord today. Why are you here alone?"
Chairman Liu naturally hopes to show off at this glorious moment, but in such a situation, he understands that if he does not solve the current difficulties, he will definitely be in trouble.
His position as chairman is not very stable in the New Film Alliance, and no one will covet his position.
Therefore, many people were actually waiting to see his joke. At this time, Chairman Liu did not hide anything. After all, Ye Ming was not really from the New Film Alliance, so Ye Ming knew that Ye Ming was not a big deal.
The key is that Chairman Liu wants to find someone to complain to: "Director Ye, don't laugh at me. This time it's urgent. Originally there were twenty people on the podium, but in the end there were thirty important guests. No one can simplify it. This time
It looks like I'm going to be unlucky at a premiere."
After speaking, Chairman Liu sighed heavily. Since you are in this circle, you must abide by the rules of this circle in such a situation. Once you make a mistake, you must bear the price.
.
At this time, Chairman Liu truly realized the meaning of the four words "warmth and warmth". Ye Ming said with a smile: "This matter is very simple to say the least."
After saying these words, Ye Ming stopped talking. Chairman Liu naturally understood what this matter was about. Originally, there was no way out, but he did not expect that another village would have a bright future. At this moment, Liu
The chairman immediately said: "Brother Ye, let me know if you have any clever tricks, and I will give you an extra amount of film arrangement in the nightclub tomorrow."
Don't underestimate this point. You must know that apart from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the New Film Alliance is not the only one showing "Nightclub".
If you can give Ye Ming one more point, that will be Chairman Liu's greatest right at this time.
Ye Ming wanted this effect. He nodded and said, "It's actually very simple. Remove the rostrum and put six round tables in front of it. There are only five people at each table for thirty people. It's not too crowded."
At this time, Chairman Liu was fortunately a little confused: "What about the rostrum? A director like George Lucas is here. It's unreasonable not to let people go to the rostrum."
If you offend George Lucas, you won't be able to reap the benefits of him. Ye Ming said firmly: "This is simply impossible. George Lucas is a director, and the only protagonist at the scene today is actually
One. That is [Star Wars]. As long as you put Star Wars on the rostrum, this is the greatest respect for the movie and the greatest respect for the director. It guarantees that Lucas will not be angry and will be very angry.
Happy."
Naturally, what a director, whether he is an underground director or a big-name Hollywood director, wants to see is everyone's respect and recognition for his movies. This sentence wakes up the dreamer. Hearing this, Chairman Liu
Suddenly he realized it and quickly asked people to arrange it. The premiere officially began. It was obviously difficult for reporters to adapt to the arrangement without a podium. However, soon, everyone put this discomfort behind them because
George Lucas appeared, a very gentle old man with a beard, and his seemingly wise eyes were full of endless mystery. Everything that happened in the distant outer space was expressed through this huge head.
Lucas's aura is very strong. When he showed up, Fan Binbin, who was chattering non-stop, actually said that he didn't dare to speak. It was a kind of intimidation from a superior person. As a giant standing at the top of the entertainment industry,
Lucas is qualified to be on an equal footing with the Big Eight.
Therefore, as soon as Lucas appeared, for a moment, the whole audience was silent at first, and then there was thunderous applause. Such applause reminds people of the kind of fervent hope, unlimited hope for the future and future.
It seems that it is also an expectation of Chinese filmmakers for their own film career. The fact that George Lucas can come over also shows that the development of Chinese films in the past two years has been recognized by this great director. Otherwise, others
It won't come at all.
In this situation, it is impossible for Ye Ming to be ranked in the middle. This time, there are five round tables in the front row, instead of six. Five naturally has the purpose of five. Luca
Director Si, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Warner Bros. Asia President Ai Qiuhua, Paramount Asia President Mr. Wood, and Chairman Liu of New Film Alliance, this is the lineup of the middle table. Powerful
To the point where it's shocking.
At least now, Ye Ming is not qualified to sit with Zhang Yimou and others. However, fortunately, there is a place for Ye Ming on the left, sitting with Feng Xiaogang. The premiere started very gorgeously, with a beautiful hostess
People are also very good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene. Chairman Liu also paid attention to Lucas's expression and found that the great director was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he was full of joy. At this time, a big stone came into his heart.
It has finally landed.
After a boring process, the reporter's question session began. A reporter from the Asahi Shimbun stood up and asked: "Director Lucas, this is the first time that Star Wars has been released in China. What do you think of this ice-breaking trip?"
How did you watch it? Did the Chinese movies leave a deep impression on you?"
This question was asked in a very good way, and he tricked Lucas into saying that the quality of Japanese movies is much higher than that of China, because this is not the first time that Star Wars has been screened in Japan. This little devil is insidious.
The plan was immediately seen through by the Chinese counterparts. However, this was an upright conspiracy and there was no way to crack it. At this time, even Zhang Yimou was sweating in his heart to see how Lucas would answer like this.
A question.
Lucas seemed to be aware of the difficulty of this problem, and said with a smile: "China has the largest movie-going crowd in the world. Although the movie theater chain is still in its infancy, it can be seen that they have been
Hard work, I very much hope that Chinese audiences can accept my Star Wars. This is my treasure, so I naturally hope to be recognized by the broadest audience. As for my impression of China, hard work, Chinese filmmakers,
He is the hardest-working filmmaker I have ever seen. God, when we make movies in Hollywood, we actually say that there is still Sunday. I heard that this has never happened in China."
Not only do Hollywood movies have Sundays, they also have an eight-hour working day. If you are a child actor, there are even more outrageous conditions. You are not allowed to have night scenes. You must have something to say, and you must sign a very long contract.
It was a contract that was humiliating and humiliating the country. This was the first time Lucas heard about China’s film model, and he was shocked.
This is simply a paradise for movie directors. It takes two days to shoot a movie in China. This is normal. Eight-hour work system. To hell with it. If you can finish work before midnight, it means that the director has a great conscience. Stay up late.
Filming is commonplace. There is a saying in the Chinese entertainment industry that actors who can't stay up late are not good actors.
This evaluation made some reporters from the Asahi Shimbun dumbfounded. China is like this, and so is our Empire of Japan. We are more able to endure hardships than they are.
At this moment, the mustache said with some reluctance: Director Lucas, you appreciate Chinese movies so much, so who are the Chinese filmmakers you are most looking forward to? Is there anyone you would like to cooperate with?" This is a huge trap.
Now, I'm sharing a house with George Lucas. Let's see who they are. Only great directors like Spielberg are qualified to cooperate with Lucas. Lao Lu's special effects company is one of the top in the world.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige of China, Akira Kurosawa, and Takeshi Kitano of Japan, etc. are all world-famous directors, but if you want to cooperate with Lucas, it is impossible, and you may not succeed if you try to do something for them.
Therefore, even if a great director like Lucas wants to find a Chinese, that is, a small supporting role in a movie, or a martial arts director, it is impossible to be considered a real director.
cooperate.
From the perspective of the Asahi Shimbun’s moustache, even our Empire of Japan does not have such a genius. Can China have such a person?
It is simply impossible. The purpose of this reporter from the Asahi Shimbun coming here is now obvious. This is a slap in the face. This is a blatant slap in the face.
After such evidence, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into embarrassment. China's top directors and top actors are all here, and everyone who has a way to get in has come in. But they were treated like a kid reporter.
Being slapped in the face in front of so many people is unbearable.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have mixed feelings in their hearts. They are the two who truly represent the level of Chinese cinema. Now they seem to have realized that in such a situation, tomorrow's world-wide
The movie magazines in the movie will discuss this matter specifically. A chill flashed in Zhang Yimou's eyes, honest people also get angry sometimes, and in this song, Chen Kaige glanced meaningfully at the Asahi Shimbun's mustache, this guy
, need to be cleaned up.
At this time, it seemed that Lucas also realized something, and realized that he might have jumped into a pit at this time. Before Lucas could say anything, Ai Qiuhua said with a smile: "George, it seems,
Many people are still very concerned about your opinions. You should share your ideas with everyone. Win-win cooperation is the way to go. In China Film, there are also some interesting people who think and are able to appear.
, it’s worth looking forward to.”
Lucas was stunned for a moment. If Ai Qiuhua could say this, it was definitely not aimless. Who did he need to pay attention to? At this time, Lucas scanned and found nothing worth looking forward to and surprising.
It exists.
At this time, Mr. Wood also said with a smile: "That's right, George, you should take a longer view. There are some people in China who are worth looking forward to." Even Wood started to recommend it. At this time, I have to say
This made Lucas pay attention, and he said solemnly: "Wood, please tell me clearly, don't hide it from me." Mr. Wood quickly lowered his voice and said something. Lu
Cass frowned first, and then said: "Are you sure?"
Mr. Wood said with great certainty: "Emotions, can I lie about a question like this? I didn't come here alone. Almost everyone in Hollywood knows about this, and only a technical geek like you doesn't know about it."
What about this kind of thing? Is this kind of person with such vision qualified to cooperate with you?"
Hearing this, Lucas pondered for a moment and said: "If this is really the case, does that mean that there cannot be a basis for cooperation? It's interesting. I didn't expect that when I came to China, I just walked around casually.
I never expected to meet such an interesting young man. It’s not easy, it’s really not easy.”
For Lucas, this time, it was actually more like going on a trip. He didn't take this matter into his heart at all. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
