    "We, the China Film Directors Guild, only have a total of more than 300 members, more than 200 of whom only pay a membership fee, and only a few dozen directors are active on the front line, which is too shabby. We should follow the example of the American Directors Guild and form a Chinese director  The union includes all director talents. "Wan Xiaohu said solemnly.  The Directors Guild of America is a director industry union covering American film, television, stage plays, radio and other artistic fields. Any director can apply to join.  Whether you are an advertising director, music video director, stage play director, documentary director, TV series director, miniseries director, cartoon director, entertainment program director, radio play director, or movie director, you can enjoy the rights and obligations in the Directors Guild  .  In addition to these directors, there are also assistant directors, director assistants, producer assistants, people behind the scenes of stage plays, etc. People involved in directors can also join the membership.  The Directors Guild Award established internally only rewards directors.  Therefore, the Directors Guild of America has become a veritable paradise for directors to communicate.  Wan Xiaohu is also a member of the Directors Guild of America. Before the post-production of several films he directed was completed, he communicated with the members within the group. At the same time, he could often enjoy various films that had not yet been released.  It is also because of the existence of the Directors Guild that some directors who have never directed a movie will be chosen by Bole and directly serve as directors of large-scale productions.  There are not many directors who have become famous in one fell swoop.  The director circle says that when you are young, you are already very small. The more directors you make friends with, the more opportunities there will be.  ¡°For example, if you become friends with a big director, and the big director understands your talent, then a film company invites the big director to direct, but the big director is not available or doesn¡¯t want to, so he might recommend you, and this opportunity will come.  Especially many TV drama directors.  Or the documentary director himself is very talented, but he is not famous. What he lacks is this opportunity.  It is not without reason that Hollywood movies have been popular for nearly a hundred years.  Comparatively speaking, the development time of Chinese films is short.  The commercialization process is shallow and the rules in many industries are imperfect.  There is no pan-director-specific industry organization in China. The only director-related organization is the China Film Directors Association.  ¡°Other TV drama directors, advertising directors, etc., can¡¯t find an organization at all.  If they can¡¯t even be found in an organization, who else can they expect to discover their talents?  ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to form a directors¡¯ union.¡± Huang Jianxin said hesitantly.  "We can take our time. We won't be able to catch up this year. Next year we can try to attract TV directors first. Set the framework and expand the membership bit by bit." Wan Xiaohu originally wanted to explain it in detail, but then he thought about it and decided that it was not urgent.  Come on, "Forget it, this idea is not very mature yet. Let me sort it out before we talk about it. Let's drink!" "That's right. Drink first." "Do it." "Drink." "Director Zhang, let me toast you."  "Director Wan. Do it first for respect."  The next day, the press conference was held as scheduled.  A group of directors, including Wan Xiaohu, faced reporters¡¯ questions and introduced the seminar and commendation conference to be held in January next year.  Of course, it is impossible for reporters to only ask these questions. The questions asked are all-encompassing.  Among them, Wan Xiaohu is the one who gets asked the most questions.  "Director Wan, there are rumors that you will be elected president of the Directors Association in the next election. Is this true?" "Well, I can only say that I am one of the candidates. It still depends on everyone.  "Director Wan, it seems that you have no films to release in 2011?" "Yes, it may take more time to make two films." "Director Wan, for the first time in the Chinese film market, it has exceeded 100.  "Billion mark, what do you think?" "It's expected. Generally speaking, according to this trend, it should be able to exceed 30 billion by 2014. However, the scale of the industry is large, and there are truly high-quality movies.  Not much. Our overall strength is still far behind Hollywood.¡± ¡°Director Wan, how do you think China¡¯s film industry will develop next?¡±  The development of China is not bad. We don¡¯t compare with Hollywood. In Asia, we are second to none. However, it doesn¡¯t mean much to become the leader in Asia. After all, we still have to compete with Hollywood to improve Chinese culture.  Good integration with commercial films is our most urgent need at the moment. " "Director Wan, if you become the president of the Directors Association, will you discriminate against literary films? We all know that you are the greatest commercial director in the world. "  Wan Xiaohu raised his headEyelids: "I don't discriminate against literary and artistic films. On the contrary, I like literary and artistic films very much. However, in the past ten years, to put it bluntly, none of the Chinese literary and artistic films I have watched has made me appreciate them. They are either unfounded, unrealistic, or simply unrealistic.  I don¡¯t know what to say. I hope there will be a group of directors who can make truly resonant literary films, such as "Sunny Days", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Alive".  There is a commotion. Chinese directors should not make too many literary films. This attack is too broad.  However, Wan Xiaohu didn't care much and continued to say with a smile: "Don't think I'm too harsh or exaggerating. Think about it after me. In the past ten years, has our Chinese film narrative structure been innovative? In terms of subject matter, has it been?"  Is it innovative? Is there any innovation in special effects? Is there a romantic film that makes people unable to put it down for three days? Is there a character film that makes people remember a person deeply after watching it?  "?" Before the reporters could think about it, Wan Xiaohu gave his own answer: "No, not even one! It's not that we are all making bad movies, but the overall creativity of our creations is better than that of more than ten years ago.  Even lower. Because the current market expansion is far beyond our expectations. As long as you make a so-so movie, you can basically make money without spending any effort, so who needs to study art.  ¡± ¡°The market determines the allocation of resources. Right now, our supply exceeds demand. The base for increasing audiences is here. We are not afraid that your filming will be bad, but we are afraid that you will not dare to film. This kind of market growth may still have a golden period of seven or eight years.  , to put it bluntly, during this period, everyone must be thinking about occupying the market, and it is difficult to pay attention to the artistry of the film itself. It is natural that literary films are declining. " "Just now you asked me what to do if you join me as the president.  I can only say that whether I am the president or not, I still have some weight in the Chinese film industry. I have been committed to promoting the commercialization of Chinese films. Only when commercialization catches up with Hollywood can we have enough energy to do so.  Support literary and artistic films.¡± ¡°Another reason is that China is a big country. In terms of international competition, we need strong soft power to reflect our status as a big country. Film is a very important means of cultural promotion. We need to show China¡¯s big country to the world.  Image, then you have to make your movie attract foreign audiences first, right? ""If you can't commercialize it well, who will show your art?" Wan Xiaohu said a lot, without any scruples.  After giving reporters so much good material, Wan Xiaohu handed the microphone to several other directors and let everyone talk about it.  In this way, the press conference, which lasted for more than an hour, ended in a lively manner.  The general election began on December 21. In the end, Wan Xiaohu was elected as the fifth president of the China Film Directors Association with more than two-thirds of the votes.  Li Shaohong, He Ping, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige were elected as vice presidents. He Ping was also elected as secretary-general, and Liu Yiwei was elected as deputy secretary-general, responsible for the daily affairs of the Directors Association.  Others, such as Ning Hao, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yang, Xu Jinglei, Zhang Guoli, etc., were elected as executive members of this term.  The new China Film Directors Association has officially settled its official website on mtime.com.  ??The news was immediately reported on the front page of Mtime.com.  "Great news, the official website of the China Film Directors Association has settled on Time.com! In this morning's general election, my country's famous international director Wan Xiaohu was elected as the president of the fifth association with a high vote and delivered an inaugural speech. In the speech, Wan Xiaohu said that he will lead the Directors Association to vigorously promote the development of Chinese films and vigorously promote the cultivation and discovery of director talents. "Wan Xiaohu was elected as the president of the Directors Association and made a high-profile announcement to promote commercial films." - "China Youth Daily." ¡·.  "Famous directors gathered in the leadership team of the fifth Directors Association, and the new president Wan Xiaohu is committed to reform and development!" - "China Film News".  "Ten years of literary and artistic films have failed miserably, and Wan Xiaohu is the king in terms of business!" - "Magic City Chronicle".  "The new leader of the Chinese-language film industry, Wan Xiaohu." - Chinese version of "Variety Show".  ¡°Chinese films will move towards a path of abnormal development under the leadership of Wan Xiaohu.¡± - "Nandu Entertainment Weekly".  "Where will the 18-year-old Directors Guild, led by Wan Xiaohu, who is just 30 years old, go?" - "Yangcheng Evening News".  ¡­ No matter how much the outside world hypes this general election, it has not affected Wan Xiaohu.  He scolded the directors of literary and artistic films, as well as the directors of commercial films who were obsessed with money. There were not many people who could not resist him. His status, qualifications and achievements were all there. Even the Hollywood media praised Wan Xiaohu as one of the greatest directors in the world.  First, no one contradicted him without opening their eyes. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Critical words like "arrogant", "arrogant", "pretentious" and so on behind his back.  In this way, the affairs of the Directors Guild were suspended, and Wan Xiaohu immediately flew to the United States, accompanying Jessica and her daughter to her father-in-law's house to spend Christmas.  In my spare time, I think about how to reform the Directors Guild.  "If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political affairs. Since you are the president of the association, you must make a name for yourself, and you cannot live in a haphazard manner."  "There is a long way to go to build the Directors Guild into the most influential organization in China, and even an organization that specifies industry standards! But it doesn't bother me. I have limited energy alone, which doesn't mean I can't let my team help me make suggestions.  ! I¡¯ll put my name forward and let professionals help me with the Directors Guild. I¡¯ll just concentrate on making my movies and enjoying my life!¡± (To be continued)
