"Honggao reorganized to take over the end of Times Films, and created a new film company, Honggao Film and Television. Hu Zhengxin, the former vice president of Times Films, became the new president of Honggao Films. Medals, Dynasty Cinemas, and ticketing software resources are exchanged, and the relationship between capital parties in the film industry confusing."

"The movie "Behind the Scenes" has been well received and praised, and it can be called the most exciting and explosive movie this year. Director Xu Nan said: It is definitely not to be missed in the Spring Festival blockbuster."

""Kung Fu Legend", "Great Power Climbing", "Mysterious World" and many other blockbuster films have started to be released, and the new year's Spring Festival war has started again. Wei Xun's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has won praise from industry insiders and is suspected to hit Beijing. Film festival awards, give up the box office market."

"In May last year, at the launch conference of "The God of Medicine", Wei Xun once released an astonishing statement that the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will exceed 30 billion. Now it seems that it is just a gimmick."

"The Year of the Monkey Spring Festival Gala is about to enter the rehearsal for registration screening. It is rumored that Wei Xun will join the Spring Festival program this year. The reporter of this newspaper has made many inquiries and confirmed that the news is true. However, it is not yet known what program Wei Xun will put on."

Entering January of the new year, the major awards seasons are over, and the major headlines in the entertainment industry are basically related to movies, and of course, there is also the Spring Festival Gala that warms up at this time every year.

When major film companies are launching a fierce publicity campaign, on the 1.5th, the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" launched its first road show at the Beijing Film Academy.

Next, they will travel to 17 cities and launch a 22-day national road show.

At this time, people still don't know how much potential "The God of Medicine" has.Ke Runheng of Dynasty Entertainment is dreaming of defeating Wei Xun at the box office. China Film and other major film investors are thinking about how to carve up the Spring Festival market. Professionals in the industry are not optimistic about the box office of "The God of Medicine". No one will know what kind of preparation Wei Xun has already begun to deploy in advance for the arrival of the post-traffic era.

At least at this moment, in the eyes of a group of crazy young students in the film academy, everything else is not important. The important thing is that everyone finally met the young legendary director, screenwriter, and actor in the film industry in the auditorium of the film academy —— Wei Xun.

In Beijing in January, the temperature has completely entered the coldest stage of the year. Wei Xun is wearing a blue down jacket and a peaked cap. It can be said that he is very low-key, but he still can't hide his handsomeness and casualness. confidence.

The main creative team of "The God of Medicine", Shao Bing, Jiang Duzhou, Yi Heng, and An Shi, were also standing on the stage in the auditorium.

Half an hour later, this place will become a temporary screening hall, where "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be shown.

"After the screening that day, Teacher Chen came to me and said, Wei Xun, come to the Film Academy during your road show. Originally, I didn't want to disturb everyone's studies at this time, but Teacher Chen told me... ..."

On the stage in the auditorium, Wei Xun held a microphone, looked at hundreds of students below, and joked with a smile: "He said that you all like me, and he wants me to meet you, I think it's for this Reason, I am definitely coming."

The students in the audience immediately burst out laughing.

"Director Wei, Teacher Chen is right, we all like you."

"That's right, that's right, I still want to go to Medal Media to be an intern director when I graduate. I don't know if Director Wei is recruiting or not."

"Director Wei, are you still accepting apprentices? My grades are no worse than Senior Zhang Yu and Senior Zhou Bing."

"Director Wei..."

In the auditorium, the cheerful voices of the students were everywhere.

Everyone looked at Wei Xun on the stage, everyone's eyes were full of admiration, because the achievements of this young man over the years are really exciting.

"So, let's come one by one, well, I really can't answer so many of you talking together."

Wei Xun smiled and motioned everyone to be quiet, then pointed at a boy wearing glasses who raised his hand, and said, "It's just you."

Under the envious eyes of all the students, the boy wearing glasses stood up and asked a little shyly: "Director Wei, what I want to ask is that the success of your "Chain Saw" in the United States was accidental. Can it be reproduced again? Is it possible for us...to catch up with the level of Hollywood movies."

Everyone didn't expect that he would ask this question as soon as he opened his mouth, and the entire auditorium fell silent for a while.

Even Professor Chen Qinghe, who was sitting at the back of the auditorium, raised his head.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Wei Xun expectantly or anxiously, waiting for his answer.

"You just asked me whether the success of "Chain Saw" was accidental or can be replicated. I can tell you with certainty that any success is not accidental, but if you want to succeed, you have to work hard and sweat. In Back in America, directors Kang Cheng and Lin Fan didn’t believe we could succeed at first.”

"But then you all know that "Saw" has achieved unprecedented success in the United States, and now it is going to be released in 72 countries one after another, and our Chinese characters are displayed on the promotional posters in each country."

Wei Xun looked at the boy in the audience, and said with a serious expression: "As a Chinese filmmaker, if you don't believe that you can succeed, how can you go abroad with films in the future? Now that you are in the film school, I am a student, and you will be a part of the filmmakers when you leave this school in the future. Hollywood is not terrible, because I have defeated them both at home and abroad. Since I can, it makes no sense that you can’t , so we are not likely to catch up with Hollywood, but we must, we will catch up with Hollywood!"

His voice didn't raise his voice on purpose, nor did he deliberately stir up emotions, nor did he deliberately try to be handsome.

But it was such confident words that made all the students present feel excited.His students who have not stepped out of the ivory tower are often more energetic and ambitious. They dare to fight and think more than their predecessors.

Seniors can't keep up with Hollywood, but young people may not be able to.

What's more, in front of everyone, there is a fierce man who has successfully sniped Hollywood movies, he has the most right to speak!
clap clap.

And this answer also caused thunderous applause in the auditorium.

Even the old professor Chen Qinghe applauded.

Seeing Wei Xun earnestly interacting with the students, the excitement in the eyes of the students present, and the uncontrollable admiration when they looked at Wei Xun, the old professor was very relieved.

Because he saw the idol and benchmark of a young filmmaker.

As expected, Chinese films have reached the era of blooming flowers. Wei Xun's overseas success has greatly inspired the young people of this era, and they, like their idol Wei Xun, will go abroad one after another in the future to contribute to the Chinese film industry. .

Moreover, Chen Qinghe obviously felt that Wei Xun was intentionally encouraging the young students and building up their confidence.

The power of role models is infinite.

"You will become a legend of this era."

Looking at Wei Xun on the stage, Chen Qinghe thought of this silently in his heart, with a very relieved expression.
