From traffic to movie star

Chapter 367 Leading the Team to Hollywood

The atmosphere in the car was a little dull.

Chi Tang sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window without saying a word.

Wei Xun drove in silence, feeling a little sorry in his heart.

Because he agreed to the invitation of the Film Bureau, half a month later, when "In the Name of the People" was finished, he led the team to study in Hollywood.

But in fact... During the free time, he promised Chi Tang to stay in Beijing to rest for a while.

When Chi Tang got into the car just now, he asked with a smile what he was going to eat later.

But when he heard that he was going to Hollywood soon, he was so angry that he didn't want to eat anymore, and wanted to go home directly.

"What are you doing."

At this time, Chi Tang saw that the road outside was not the route back to the Chi family's villa, and turned to look at Wei Xun angrily: "It's going back to my house, not yours."

Wei Xun sighed and said, "I just want to stay with you for a while."

"Then you can't refuse?"

Chi Tang's face was full of unhappiness: "It's hard to take a break, go to Hollywood to study, what else do you need to study. I have planned it all. In two days, I will be busy with the project in hand, and your TV series will also be finished." Yes, we made an appointment to go skiing in New Zealand with Xu Yaru and his boyfriend."

So the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Wei Xun explained helplessly: "When I was filming TV dramas on the set today, I was thinking, China's film and television industry is backward, how to change it. Even TV dramas such as "Humanity" are rush-produced , From investors, to directors, actors and even behind-the-scenes staff, everyone regards the production of film and television dramas as an assembly line project, if this continues, where is the way out for the film and television industry?"

His sudden serious tone stunned Chi Tang for a moment, and he asked in a daze, "But this is the status quo of the entire industry, how can you solve it."

That’s right, with one person’s ability, how can one change an industry.

"It's funny to say, a few years ago, before I created the medal, I was thinking that I would clean up the status quo of the traffic dominating the market in the entertainment industry, and reverse the abnormal development of this industry. I have used tickets to pay for it over the years. The policy, and this year’s use of the star studio system, has been catalyzing the process of the film industry.”

Wei Xun was silent for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "The medal has now become a mountain in the Chinese film industry, and I think it's time for me to go outside for a walk. Because I think that standing still and being content with the status quo may be the reason for the current film industry. The biggest enemy that the industry has never been able to really develop. Therefore, I want to take a group of young directors from Huaxia to Hollywood to have a look."

See how advanced others have developed, and then there will be pressure, and then motivation.

Chi Tang was shocked by his words.

In other words, she never thought that what Wei Xun really wanted was to reverse the status quo of an industry.

She leaned her head against the car window a little discouraged, and said, "But I still don't want you to go to Hollywood."

Wei Xun coaxed softly: "Up to three months, I promise I will be back soon."

"It's not a long time, okay?"

Chi Tang glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, "You just had an affair with that Ella not long ago, and now you're going to Hollywood, so what if she goes to Hollywood to block you in order to get the song from you? Foreign women are very straightforward."

"..."

So the way of thinking of men and women is really different.

You thought she was reluctant to part with you, and stated her reasons seriously and sincerely.

But in fact, she is just afraid that you will be restless outside, and she doesn't care what you are going to do.

Wei Xun was silent for a moment, and turned around at the intersection ahead.

Chi Tang was a little puzzled: "Where are you going?"

"Just drove past a hotel."

Wei Xun said with a serious expression: "In order to make you feel at ease, I decided to hand over the amount for the next three months to you in the next half a month. No matter who Ella or Vera meets at that time, I can't shake me." heart."

"……Hey!"

Wei Xun didn't have many roles in "In the Name of the People", and it was easily done in half a month.

It just so happened that his TV drama was finished here, and he was catching up with an event in Hollywood there.

Among the list of young directors from the Film Bureau to study in Hollywood this time, there are a total of five young directors. In addition to Wei Xun who leads the team, there are also Bao Qiang, Kang Cheng, and two other directors Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang.

These five directors are definitely the current leaders among young Chinese directors.

So when the Film Bureau announced this learning activity, many media also made a big report on it.

"Wei Xun led the study group to Hollywood, and Bao Qiang, Kang Cheng and others are on the list."

"Young Hollywood directors learn industrial technology, and the government supports film special effects to develop China's film industry."

"Huaxia filmmakers have gone abroad to study, and I look forward to them being able to hand over more impressive transcripts to the public in the future."

On 8.3, Wei Xun and his party walked out of Los Angeles Airport.

In California at the moment, the temperature is not much different from that in Beijing, and the high temperature of 30 degrees makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Director Wei, over there."

Xiao Xiaoyang had sharp eyes, and when he walked out of the airport, he saw the pick-up sign outside with the word 'Wei Xun' written on it, and said with a smile: "Director Bao Qiang came in person."

Qiang Bao was recently in New York preparing for the "Detective Chinatown 2" project.

At present, the filming of the film has not yet started, so Bao Qiang can come and follow this learning activity for a few days, but he will go back when "Tang Detective 2" starts filming.

Wei Xun also saw Bao Qiang from afar, smiled and waved.

"Director Wei, I'm tired after flying all the way. I've already hired a car. I'll take everyone to Hollywood first."

Bao Qiang trotted all the way over, briefly explained the itinerary to Wei Xun, and then greeted everyone: "Director Kang, Lao Fan, and Xiao Yang, they seem to be in good spirits."

The entertainment industry is so big, the several directors present are all well-known here, so they all know each other.

Lin Fan is 32 years old this year. His films cannot hit the box office, but he belongs to the director of literary films. Last year's "Changbai River" was shortlisted in the Cannes drama selection. He is a very deep director.

Xiao Xiaoyang is a little younger, 29 years old. He came out of the Academy of Fine Arts. He is not the same as the others. He is an animation director, but this one is even better. He once made an 8-minute animation short film, which was shortlisted for the last Golden Globe Nominated for the Best Animation Short Film.

Not to mention Bao Qiang, with "Wolf Warrior" and "Tang Detective" in hand, no one dares to underestimate him.

As for Kang Cheng, the two hit movies "Nobody's Chinese New Year" and "Nian Beast" are both his works.

It can be said that none of the four directors here is weak.

It's just that with Wei Xun here, their light is covered.

Everyone got into the car with Bao Qiang, and when no one else was paying attention, Bao Qiang whispered to Wei Xun, "Why did Cheng Kang come with you, did he do anything wrong?"

When Dynasty Entertainment and medals were at odds, Wei Xun and Kang Cheng also had conflicts over the movie box office.

Wei Xun smiled and said, "It's pretty good, the journey is very harmonious."

"It's good to be harmonious, but I'm afraid it won't be so harmonious in the future."

Bao Qiang sighed, and said: "I see the itinerary, and I'm going to visit the Storm special effects company tomorrow, but this special effects company is a partner of Golden Lion. And I also saw Baldwin in the list of exchange directors."

Oh, this is where all the enemies are coming together.

Wei Xun was not surprised when he heard the words, he said: "What are you afraid of, we are here to observe and study, not to fight."
