The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 358 It is duty-bound to promote the hometown

At 09:30 in the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, in Li Shengyao’s hometown, the big sun hung in the sky, and the warm sunlight fell down. The spring breeze and the fragrance of camellias swept across the small county town.

Outside a small villa on Binjiang Avenue, there were seven or eight commercial vehicles parked.

Hundreds of people gathered around the door, discussing in low voices.

Inside the villa, there was a group of people with work badges on their chests. They were all from Li Shengyao's hometown TV station.

In the lobby of the villa, there are a group of people sitting. It is Li Shengyao, Chen Xun, and his family members. Besides, there are a few strangers. These people are the staff of the provincial TV station. , each with a cameraman filming.

This is an exclusive interview with Li Shengyao by the provincial TV station. In order to let the audience know more about Li Dao, his family members also appeared on the screen and will be interviewed.

After Li Shengyao became famous, more and more people inquired about his deeds, and his family had long been interviewed by reporters.

In addition, Li Shengyao bought a house and a car, and gave enough living expenses every year.

His parents have been recuperating for three years and have retired ahead of schedule.

Or dance square dance, or grow flowers and play chess.

He has a good complexion and disposition, and he is calm and well-spoken when interviewed by reporters.

Sometimes Li Shengyao would answer, and sometimes he would sit quietly and listen to others with a smile.

This year, he was not very busy at home. He mainly wrote the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". In order to distinguish it from Jiu Ba Dao's novel, he changed the names of the hero and heroine.

Other than that, it's fine.

The main thing is to communicate with the company's senior management, to chat with Feng Xiaogang and others, or to chat with Zhang Weiping and Wang Changtian.

He also contacted Cheng Long on the phone, Cheng Long did not let go, saying that he was still considering it.

Li Shengyao didn't make any more persuasion on the phone. Cheng Long is a superstar, so he has his own decision. He has said almost everything that needs to be said. If Cheng Long doesn't agree, then forget it.

Around 10:30, the interview ends.

The host expressed gratitude to Lee Sing Yew, and they withdrew.

But not all the strangers left. When the host cameraman left, there were still two strangers.

Both of them were in suits, one was in his forties and the other in his early twenties.

The two stood there with a different temperament from others. They had smiles on their faces and nodded from time to time, looking at people with a sense of scrutiny.

These two people are leaders from the Provincial Department of Culture.

Li Shengyao nodded towards the two of them, "Director Gao, this side is clear."

After a while, they came to the room on the right side of the back row of the villa. This room is the reception room.

There is a tea table in the middle, and four antique wooden chairs are arranged on both sides.

Li Shengyao's mother had already made tea and brought some fruits and snacks. Li Shengyao poured tea for the two guests.

"Director Li, we are fellow villagers, so you're welcome."

"It's not polite. When friends come to the house, they always have to entertain them."

Years later, he received many guests at home, including some leaders from the small county town of his hometown and the city, and everyone said some good things.

Li Shengyao also donated 60 yuan to his hometown nursing home in the name of his father, which was highly praised by the leaders.

However, when the director of the Provincial Department of Culture came over, Li Shengyao was a little surprised.

Director Gao’s name was Gao Zhiyi, and after a few words of pleasantries, he exchanged glances with his subordinates, and then slowly said, “Director Li, I’m here to disturb you this time, firstly, to wish you a happy new year, and secondly, there is something I want to talk to you about. Let's talk."

"You said."

"Director Li, you are becoming more and more famous now. You are already a great domestic director. You are the pride of our province. Everyone is proud of you. We are all very happy and excited about your appearance."

Gao Zhi's voice was slightly lowered, "You are from the province, and you have seen the world outside, so you know that our province's economy is not good, and the reputation is not good. When people outside talk about it, they talk about high betrothal gifts, patriarchy, and poverty. "

"Hey, it's really difficult for us. We want to change our image, but we can't do it. We came here this time to ask for your help..."

Li Shengyao naturally knew the situation in Alinka Province.

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, it was a great cultural province in the south, but it was not so good in the late Qing Dynasty.

In recent decades, the southern provinces have vigorously developed, and Alinka Province has also made great efforts, but, compared to its brother provinces, Alinka Province is indeed not doing well.

The locals are relatively old-fashioned, old-fashioned, and they like to engage in formalism, so they can't retain talents. The difficulty of the national college entrance examination is the top five in the country. Talents either go to Shanghai or go south to Guangdong Province.

Generally speaking, Alinka Province actually has many scenic spots and historical sites, and the natural resources are also very good. There are good mountains and rivers, and the common people can endure hardships. The children go to school very hard, but the economic development is not as good.

"Director Gao, what do you need me to do?"

Hearing this, Gao Zhiyi's tense body was obviously relieved, and he immediately continued: "Director Li, there are two things, one is that when you make movies in the future, can you give more consideration to our province and include the beautiful scenery of our province , Second, do you have time to help us save a travel promotional video."

"The first thing should be, I will think more about the beautiful places in our province in the future."

Li Shengyao paused slightly, "The second thing... I don't have time for now. I'm preparing for the next movie. The other thing is to shoot the scenery alone, which is hard to impress. I will think about it. If possible, I will We will shoot a short story and integrate it into the scenery to promote our province."

"Director Li, when can you finish this promotional video at the latest?"

"Within three years."

It's not a big deal to make a promotional video. It's what we should do to do something for our hometown.

If you have time, if you spare ten days and a half a month, you should be able to get it done.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhitan nodded happily, "Okay, Director Li, we will wait for your good news."

He paused, and then said: "Director Li, I heard that you are going to build a movie theater. The seventh floor, if you are willing, you can visit it in the next month."

Foreclosures are generally cheaper, but there are often some troublesome things that ordinary people don't want to touch. Gao Zhiyi said this, obviously intending to give benefits, and they will help deal with those trivial things.

Li Shengyao was overjoyed when he heard that, "Director Gao, I understand."

After a while, Li Shengyao sent Gao Zhiyi and the two of them away, and then returned to the reception room.

Chen Xun walked in, "What happened just now?"

"The province wants me to help shoot a promotional film."

"Do you want to shoot?"

"Of course, it is obligatory to promote my hometown, but I don't have time now, so it will be later."

Li Shengyao stretched his waist, "Get ready, we will return to Yanjing tomorrow."

He wanted to wait for Cheng Long in Yanjing, and the one-month period was coming soon.
