You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 184

Chapter 184 That Year Eighteen, Alma Mater Party

80s to 90s.

Chinese mainland films are almost always in a state of monopoly.

Only the family members of Genzheng Miaohong of the National Film Studio and those born in the academy can get the resources and opportunities for filming.

In many directors of the five generations, the previous generation ended, and they relied on their qualifications to take over their positions to make movies.

For example, Shen Changwei, Chen Kai, Li Biehong, Zhou Yilin and others have been working as assistant directors until they almost vomited blood. Only after the age of thirty-five, they finally directed a movie alone under the care of the older generation. Only have the opportunity to step on the stage of history and show the movie world in their hearts.

Five generations of directors are basically middle-aged uncles over forty years old now.

Of course, there are also surprises.

For example…

Wang Shuai, as the prince in the Beijing circle, Wang Shuai became famous before he was 30 years old, and now he is only 36 years old.

Late 90s…

Some six generations of directors have gradually emerged in this circle.

The six generations of directors have had a very hard life. Although most of them are academics, most of the resources have been firmly in the hands of the five generations of directors. If they want to make movies, either they belong to the inheritance faction of the five generations of directors to follow them. If you have mixed qualifications in movies, you can either do everything you can to make yourself famous and prove your commercial value to win the favor of the market and capital, or you can take the international route, win awards and brush your qualifications, and let the superiors see...

The first way depends on your background and your personal connections in the academy. The second way is to test your sensitivity to the market and how to make the first pot of gold. Some people believe that you can invest money in you. Probably, for many directors who have no connections, no money, or even talented directors born in the wild, the third one is a little more reliable...

Making a movie by smashing the pot and selling the iron is like gambling with the movie and rushing to the overseas movie. It doesn't matter whether you can win or not, even if you are shortlisted, you will win applause. After returning to China, some resources and money will automatically come to your door. If you can get away with it The three major film festivals in Europe, tsk tsk, then you are awesome, you might be able to enter the faction of five generations of directors, enjoy the shade of their resources, and officially gain a firm foothold in this circle...

Under such circumstances, the Chinese movies in this world have entered a very pitiful existence.

Most of the six generations of directors who have no connections or funds have tried their best to make all kinds of shortlisted films that expose the current situation of society. It is crazy to the extreme, and I dream of walking on the red carpet of the three major film festivals. It has the taste of honoring the ancestors.

The reality is very sad, but there is no way, the current living environment is very bad, you want to stand out and make your own movies, they can only rely on this way.

October 16th.

Yanjing.

On the elevator of the relevant department.

"Hey... We directors of the sixth generation are called the generation that lacks sunlight, especially many directors born in the wild, even if they have their own representative works, they are still not recognized."

Zhou Yang met Feng Kai who had not seen him for a long time.

Since leaving Huaxing, Zhou Yang has seen that Feng Kai has obviously lost a lot of weight, and at the same time he has a mustache and looks quite haggard.

Feng Kai is the independent director of a film called "Jin Yiwei", which was introduced by Wang Shuai.

It stands to reason that Feng Kai should be in high spirits now, but Zhou Yang found out that this is not the case at all.

Not to mention Zhou Yang's high-spirited appearance when he saw Feng Kai for the first time, even Feng Kai who met him for the last time was more energetic than the current Feng Kai.

The first time he saw Zhou Yang, he said this sentence. After saying it, he sighed, and his emotions were full of a little sense of loss.

Zhou Yang didn't know how to describe him, did he describe him as mature, or did he describe him as bruised and bruised by life?

"Director Feng... Are you okay?" Zhou Yang looked at Feng Kai's appearance and couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay." Feng Kai shook his head with a smile: "It's just that we don't have too much hope for this meeting. This is the status quo of the entire Huaxia director faction. After generations of inheritance, it has been deeply ingrained, even if the relevant departments It's hard to change if you want to come forward..."

"Go ahead and have a look." Zhou Yang nodded.

The two talked about the current situation of the filming. After seeing Zhou Yang's body being bruised, the muscles on Feng Kai's face twitched, as if he was extremely shocked. , After waiting for the elevator to exit, Feng Kai sighed deeply: "It would be nice if you came to be the lead actor."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yang is no longer the Zhou Yang he was a year ago. At this moment, he is more or less sensitive to people's emotions.

"Although the investment of "Jin Yiwei" is only 7 million, but the main character is someone who was put in by the investor, like a..." Feng Kai looked around, and after seeing that no one was looking at him, he sighed: "Like an embroidered pillow... I can't even read a few lines, so I use 1234 instead, prepare for later dubbing, some action scenes, and more... In short, as a director, I have no right to speak in the crew. So much, I can only do my best to make this movie..."

After finished speaking, Feng Kai was silent.

Zhou Yang patted Feng Kai on the shoulder, and could feel his helplessness going deep into his bones.

When the two walked into the corridor and came to the conference room next to the main hall, they saw a slender figure in uniform standing at the end holding a document.

After seeing them, the cold figure showed a faint smile: "Director Zhou, Director Feng, come with me..."

When he saw An Xiao's figure, Feng Kai was not only amazed but also touched...

No one could have imagined that during the time of leaving, everyone's identities had changed.

Mr. An left the company and became one of the department personnel who managed this circle...

Zhou Yang has changed his body, from a humble little guy under the mine to a director, actor, and singer who has become a prosperous person in this circle.

It seems that he is the only one who is still walking in the same place, which is not right, he should have taken a lot of steps backwards.

"Director Zhou, Director Feng, if you have any opinions, I hope you can put them forward... This meeting does not lack the voices of veteran directors, but the most lacking are young directors. In a sense, the two of you are this group of young directors. The representative figure..." An Xiao glanced at the two of them, and finally set his eyes on Zhou Yang.

"Well..." Zhou Yang nodded.

When the two came to the conference room, they found that the conference room was empty.

Except for a middle-aged man of about forty years old who was standing on the podium at the conference table and waiting with documents, the seats with the names of some directors were actually empty...

It's almost eight o'clock, it's the start time of the meeting. The directors who came to the meeting don't seem to show any signs of coming?

"Yo, Director Zhou, Director Feng is here? Hello..."

"This is Zhang Jianguo, Section Chief Zhang..."

"Hello Section Chief Zhang."

After seeing the two of them, Zhang Jianguo walked over with a smile and shook hands with them, looking very enthusiastic.

then personally led Zhou Yang and Feng Kai towards the position.

The position of the two of them is not good. They are at the farthest corner of the conference table, and Feng Kai is sitting on the edge of the door.

Zhou Yang is nothing, it was the first time he participated in this kind of meeting, he took a learning attitude, and he felt that his position was not bad, close to the window, and still able to breathe

But Feng Kai's expression changed slightly, and there was a feeling of being despised.

Zhang Jianguo then chatted with the two about the content of the movie, and said some expectations, saying that the future depends on you young people and so on.

Feng Kai didn't hear a word...

Zhou Yang just stared at the time, seeing that it was 8:05, and the others still showed no sign of coming, and began to wonder if he had gone wrong.

"Senior Zhang...Why didn't the other directors come?" Feng Kai finally couldn't help but say these words.

"They greeted me, it should be delayed by traffic jams on the road..."

"Everyone was delayed? Let the two of us wait for them here? Are all the seniors here?" It seems that these days have not been going well, plus I have seen too many Disgusting thing, Feng Kai felt like a dynamite keg, his whole body was suffocating.

Just at this time.

"Hehe, young people just can't sit still, that's right, he must have a bit of temper when he became famous so early, and he really lacks a little self-discipline..."

The door opened.

A smiling figure walked in.

Zhou Yilin glanced at Feng Kai, then looked at Zhou Yang, and then sat down in his seat.

After seeing Zhou Yilin, Feng Kai's face changed slightly, turning red and blue, but in the end he subconsciously stood up and greeted Zhou Yilin with a smile: "Director Zhou..."

"Well, Xiao Feng, young people can restrain their emotions a little bit. Now they can't restrain their emotions. How can I do big things in the future?" Zhou Yilin continued to smile and nod.

"Director Zhou, you are here... Please sign here."

"Well, Zhang Ke, is there any support policy for movies recently?"

"Yes, it depends on what opinions everyone has on the overall reform at this meeting..."

"what."

Zhou Yang has been standing and watching this scene...

Strictly speaking, when Zhou Yilin nodded at him, he responded with a smile, and then looked at the parked cars outside the window.

After Zhou Yilin sat down, people from the entire conference room began to walk in one after another.

Feng Kai stood and greeted these directors one by one.

Except for a very few directors, everyone just nodded without looking at Feng Kai.

Some of the directors walked into the conference room by himself, like Zhou Yilin, while others walked in with a few young directors.

These young directors are all sitting in front of Zhou Yang, Feng Kai and others, looking very conspicuous, constantly calling their uncles and uncles, looking very affectionate...

Especially a young director named Django, who is sitting in the middle of those five generations of directors, like a rising star.

Feng Kai stared at Django, a trace of anger arose in his heart, but he had to bow his head in the end.

finally whispered in Zhou Yang's ear.

"Ten years of Hedong, ten years of Hexi!"

"I will definitely show these people in the future..."

Zhou Yang sometimes thinks that Feng Kai is quite two-sided.

In front of people, he bowed his head as humble as sand, but behind them, he gnashed his teeth in various ways, as if his self-esteem had been trampled on the ground.

Zhou Yang looked at Feng Kai's appearance...

I somehow remembered a line from "Exaggerated".

Eighteen that year.

Alma mater dance.

Standing like a minion...

At that time I swore in tears that you must see me!

After everyone was seated, Zhou Yang discovered one thing. Huang Jiacheng belonged to the faction on the Hong Kong Island, and it was normal that he did not show up in the dire situation of filming "The Grandmaster". Come……
