After Wan Xiaohu's new film meeting, he was quite proud of himself. The media had to report how good "The Butterfly Effect" was, inspiring domestic science fiction films, and even crowning Wan Xiaohu the title of the master of Chinese science fiction films. The media praised it, the film's sales were booming, and Wang Zhonglei's phone almost never stopped ringing. Zhou Xun and Chen Kun continued to promote the next part of "The Butterfly Effect", while Wan Xiaohu was busy participating in the exchanges and entertainment among the directors. The Chinese like to add the word "circle" to whatever they call it. Entertainment circle, film circle, director circle. A circle is a good proof that everyone likes to stick together. If you want to work in the Chinese film industry, you can't be too independent. You must integrate yourself into it. You support me and I support you. Only by being a harmonious group can you get benefits. When Wan Xiaohu has free time at night, he will also wonder what he is trying to do, messing around in the muddy waters of the entertainment industry. Logically speaking, as a reborn person, he can hold his head high and act like "I am the best in the world" and run rampant in the entertainment industry. Then he was ridiculed by others, and then slapped in the face with a thunderbolt. In the end, he jumped on his horse and raised his whip, pointed the country, and became the king of the Chinese film industry. But the fact is that human relationships are like a net. If you get caught in it, you will sink. Without the confidence, you will never be able to break free. People carry people in sedan chairs. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of course, do you want to hit him back with a straight face when others respect you? Understand that people will make choices, accept one foot from others, and then give another foot in return. For example, on the afternoon of the 20th, Zhang Yimou invited several directors from Nortel to have a dinner together. Is Wan Xiaohu still putting on airs? Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yuan, Guan Hu, Lu Xuechang, Sun Zhou, Feng Xiaoning, He Qun, plus Zhang Yimou, this gathering is almost the most active group of directors from Nortel at this stage. No matter how idiotic Wan Xiaohu is, he will not offend so many people. So, I went there early in the morning, in a high-end club in Beining. When they arrived at the field, Zhang Yuan and Wang Xiaoshuai were responsible for welcoming them. When they saw Wan Xiaohu, they shouted: "Xiaohu, when are you going to treat us? "The Butterfly Effect" has been praised to the heavens now. It will definitely hit the box office. There are dozens of directors from Nortel, just You can make a lot of money by yourself." Wan Xiaohu shook hands with Wang Xiaoshuai and said with a smile: "It hasn't been released yet. It's the promotion period, and the media will give it face. It depends on whether the audience is willing to pay to go to the cinema. "You're so good at what you get," Wang Xiaoshuai said angrily, "My "Dreamland" has been shown for three times, but I can't find any media willing to cover it. It's so annoying. No, I have to get you drunk and beat you up today. A meal to relieve my anger. " "Don't worry, I can't drink anymore. If I drink anymore, my stomach will be burned and perforated." Wan Xiaohu quickly begged for mercy. He was really afraid of drinking. He had just been reborn for a while and felt that this was the case. This kind of social interaction is very good, at least it proves that I am a person. But if I drink it every day, I feel like vomiting and have no taste at all. Zhang Yuan put his arms around Wan Xiaohu and said: "We can't make the decision when we drink today. It depends on what Director Zhang, Director Sun and Director He want." Director Zhang is Zhang Yimou. There are so many fifth-generation directors at Nortel, and he and Chen Kai are the only ones who can say that. A "big" word. Director Sun is Sun Zhou. He doesn¡¯t have many works, but he has great influence in the industry. He is an outstanding person who enjoys special allowances from the State Council. Director He is He Qun, the one who opened fire on Feng Xiaogang at the domestic new film exhibition. Arriving at the wing, Zhang Yimou, Sun Zhou, He Qun and Feng Xiaoning were playing poker. "Here is the little tiger?" He Qun said hello while throwing down a pair of 2's. "Ah, where are you fighting the landlord?" Wan Xiaohu moved a bench and stood behind Zhang Yimou to watch the battle. Zhang Yimou said "no", then turned to Wan Xiaohu and said: "You young people, why don't you have any sense of time? We four old guys have all been playing cards here, and you haven't come yet. Guan Hu, "Where is Xiao Lu?" "I don't know. I haven't gotten up yet when I received your call. I was drinking with some film producers at noon," Wan Xiaohu said, and even called me. A yawn. ""The Butterfly Effect" seems to be selling well?" "Fortunately, didn't China Film Group hold their trade fair here? We also went around and basically all the distributors from all over the country have decided to buy it. The price and share are still being negotiated. " Sun Zhou sent out four threes, killing He Qun's pair of two, and then joked: "Zhang Yuan and Xiaoshuai have been filming for several years, and together they can't beat you. The movie's box office. Now that "The Butterfly Effect" is selling so well, Xiaoshuai, why don't you jump off the building in shame?" Zhang Yuan said with a slumped face, "I'm okay, even if it won't be released in the mainland, at least the movie won't lose much. money, I can make my money back by advertising.??Xiaoshuai felt uncomfortable. He probably wouldn't be able to recoup the cost of "Fantasy Pastoral" and he still owed me 20,000 yuan. "Wang Xiaoshuai yelled: "I owe you twenty thousand yuan. Look, you keep talking about it all day long. I don't believe it. You will make money from making movies in the future. When you lose money, I'll see if you can borrow money from me. " "To borrow money from you, you must have money. Feng Xiaoning waved his hand: "You have this time to argue, call Guan Hu and Xiao Lu, what time is it, and the ink is still there Wait, what did you just say?" "As one of the five generations of directors, Feng Xiaoning is of the same generation as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. However, when he makes movies, the war scenes are quite big, the artistry is not strong, and the reputation is slightly less. " About twenty minutes later, Guan Hu and Lu Xuechang just Nine people came over one after another, four of them were playing cards, and five of them were watching. They were all giving directions and gossiping. "I just noticed that Fu Biao came to participate in this Golden Rooster Award." Feng Xiaogang asked him to come over and prepare to slap him in the face. "Guan Hu said. He is the tallest director in China. He is 1.92 meters tall. He stands a head taller than Wan Xiaohu. However, this guy is also an alternative. He became famous very early, but failed to continue. In the past few years, he has been tinkering. He went to TV movies. And Wan Xiaohu knew that this guy was not even interested in TV movies anymore, but was going to work on TV series. He only heard that TV directors were going to work in movies, but it was rare to hear that movie directors were going to work in TV series. Hu can be regarded as an alternative. He Qun said disdainfully: ¡°Who is he hitting in the face? What kind of thing was filmed in "A Sigh"? A man in his forties still makes such childish mistakes. " Feng Xiaoning sneered: "Feng Xiaogang thought that he would be good after going to the Cairo Film Festival and winning a few awards. It's ridiculous. In the past ten years, China has produced ten films, and eight of them have won awards. It is too easy to win this award. They are not international heavyweights at all. Is he able to bring back a golden lion? " Sun Zhou even said with disdain: "The Cairo Film Festival itself is of low quality. The staff of the Chinese Embassy in Cairo called me several times to invite me, but I was still reluctant to go. If I go to all the film festivals, one of my films might win dozens of awards. Now internationally, only Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Oscars and Montreal are worthy of participation. "The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival are known as the world's three major art film awards. The Academy Award is the highest in Hollywood and the highest film award in the world. The Montreal Film Festival is less influential, but it has always been a platform for Chinese films to be exhibited abroad. Its transaction share and attraction are larger than other film festivals. Others discussed whether Feng Xiaogang¡¯s discussion was lively, but Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t say anything. His time in the director's circle was too short, and many things were unclear. Besides, he didn't dislike Feng Xiaogang, and it was boring to get involved. Zhang Yimou focused on playing cards and didn't comment on Feng Xiaogang. Compared with others, Zhang Yimou was rare. He is a sincere filmmaker. "To Live" and "Red Sorghum" have confirmed Zhang Yimou's status, and he has no need to compete with others. Except for Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine", there is really no rival. After noisily denouncing Feng Xiaogang for a while, everyone shifted the topic to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which has been very popular recently. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also one of the new domestic films in this exhibition, although Li Xiaogang. This internationally famous director did not come, but as a Sino-US co-production with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars, it still attracted a lot of attention from its premiere in France in July to its small screening in the United States in October. Especially in Europe and the United States, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is highly praised, and it seems to be a favorite for winning awards. Naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention. "Li Yu is such a cool person!" "Zhang Yimou was the first to give his own evaluation, "From "Pushing Hands", "The Wedding Banquet" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li Yu, a Chinese living in the United States, has always been able to grasp the charm and essence of Chinese culture. A few years ago, I just felt bored. Looking back in the past two years, I really have a different boring feeling, not only about kung fu, but also about human nature. " Wang Xiaoshuai said: "Director Zhang, are you praising me? Why can't I see the feeling of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong use big tongues and speak slurred Mandarin. I really feel that they are tormenting themselves. I really wonder if these lines were made up by Chinese people. There is no quack flavor at all. " "I guess it was made to win an award. The martial arts film was made into an art film. "Zhang Yuan shook his head. Wan Xiaohu added: "Li Yu's script was first written in English and then translated into Chinese. I am optimistic that it will win the award. Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, for sure. " "You've got it? "Zhang Yuanxi?. Wan Xiaohu clicked his tongue and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. The important thing is that I feel that Li Yu chose the right idea when it comes to the spread of culture, especially the spread of Eastern culture to Western culture. He chose an almost Western method. , to explain the Eastern martial arts world, it will definitely cater to the tastes of Westerners." At the private gathering, Wan Xiaohu also openly said that Li Yu can win the award. This confidence, as a time traveler, is naturally great. Zhang Yimou suddenly felt enlightened: "What you mean is that among the four protagonists Li Yu chose this time, except for Zhang Ziyi, who can speak Mandarin fairly well, the others are all awkward in Mandarin. They are not here to serve domestic audiences at all." "The domestic market is small." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "If you ask me to do it, I will do it this way. To be honest, I really hope that Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will become popular in Europe and the United States, and then we will It¡¯s also a good opportunity to take a ride to Europe and the United States, haha.¡±
