China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 792 I Can’t Keep My Wife Anymore
"Boss Han, Director Huang, please take a seat. Xixi and I will go backstage to prepare. We will be the first award presenters in a while."

Sun Yi stood up with Liu Yifei and said goodbye to the two of them.

"go Go."

Han Sanping waved his hand, then smiled as he watched the two of them whispering to each other and walking hand in hand backstage.

"Old Han, do you think Xiao Liu can succeed?"

Huang Jianxin also understood that Sun Yi had been laying the groundwork for two years and was preparing to take this opportunity to open the road to internationalization for Liu Yifei.

Several big stars in the domestic entertainment industry are doing this, and he is now curious about which one can really make a name for himself.

"To be honest, I am more optimistic about Xiao Liu. With Sun Yi here, there are endless possibilities."

Not to mention what kind of private relationship he has with Sun Yi, just the fact that the two of them just agreed on cooperation in a few words makes Han Sanping have to look at Sun Yi differently.

At the level of China Film, it is not so important how much a movie earns. The key is that it survives.

With the name of China Film Group in it, that is an achievement.

"In recent years, not to mention actors, our directors have also been exploring internationalization routes. I thought that Lao Zhang and Kaige in those years could lead our Chinese films to a complete breakthrough, but I didn't expect that they would be short-lived. Alas~"

Huang Jianxin sighed leisurely. After all, he was also a director by profession. Compared to actors, he paid the most attention to directors.

"Old Huang, if you ask me, this matter must be dealt with by this kid."

"How to say?"

"Let's talk about our old friend first."

Han Sanping placed his hands on his thighs, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the empty podium, as if lost in some memories.

"I was originally the most optimistic about Lao Zhang. He has a lot of energy and a strong desire to explore, or in other words, a strong thirst for knowledge."

"Do you remember those years? Every time I saw Lao Zhang, he had a frown on his face. He was thinking all the time, starting from Red Sorghum, To Live, to My Father and Mother, and Hero. He had this thirst for knowledge about any film subject. He was curious, impulsive, and wanted to try..."

"Have you ever heard of that saying? Desire is the driving force behind human progress. If you observe carefully, you will find that Lao Zhang has a strong spirit of exploration."

Hearing this, Huang Jianxin seemed to be lost in his memories.

At that time, Lao Zhang was just as Han Sanping said. He could stay up all night for a script, and he could talk to you until midnight about an idea. He also kept trying different topics.

"But in recent years, his desire to explore has faded. He seems to have fallen into a vicious circle. He has begun to worship big stars and big productions, and even started to compromise himself."

“As long as a director starts to compromise, it’s a sign of going downhill.”

Huang Jianxin thought for a while and nodded slowly.

He had to admit that what Mr. Han said was very accurate.

Although he and Mr. Han did not have particularly outstanding achievements in directing and put more energy into the entire industry, it was this kind of display of understanding and then stepping out to look at the overall situation that allowed them to see more thoroughly.

"What about Xiaogang?"

"Xiaogang, how should I put it? He has a ceiling. He is unwilling to accept it. He is contradictory. To the extent that he criticizes for the sake of criticizing and satirizes for the sake of satirizing, in summary, his talent cannot support his ambition."

Han Sanping's light words made Huang Jianxin feel deeply sad.

Yes, Xiaogang is contradictory. To borrow a line from Director Jiang Wen in Let the Bullets Fly,

"How can I stand again and make money again?"

This kind of contradiction actually often occurs among literary and artistic workers, which is the so-called bottleneck.

Should my work come from my heart, or should I consider the audience?

This is a very difficult balance to strike, and the way to break through it comes from improving one's own abilities.

So the old saying goes: when your talent cannot support your ambition, then just stay down and practice hard.

But Xiaogang doesn't seem to have...

He took another path and started complaining about everything and attacking everyone.

His talent still remains in the past, but his ambition can no longer be restrained.

"What about Kaige?"

"Victory song~"

Han Sanping frowned even deeper, and after a long while, he slowly uttered, "To be honest, I don't understand him."

Huang Jianxin: “.”

You've been planning this for a long time, and this is what you give me?
"Then what about this kid Sun Yi?"

"To be honest, I never thought that this kid would be able to get to where he is today. In terms of talent, he is not inferior to anyone else. He is also very curious and eager to explore. This is his most outstanding point."

"what?"

"The sharpness in his body."

"Sharpness?"

Huang Jianxin was a little confused.

"Yes, it's the spirit. Old Huang, don't be fooled by this kid laughing and joking with you in private. That's because you haven't seen him on the set. When it comes to his work, he has the spirit of forging ahead and no one else can do it better than him, or the confidence."

"He dares to challenge any subject, is not afraid of losing, dares to fight and fight, and does what he says. This kind of energy can make him come up with something in any matter."

Huang Jianxin thought for a moment and thought of the various works Sun Yi had created since his debut.

From the practice film "Little Red Flower" to the fledgling "Those Years", then the rising star "Nobody" and "The Intouchables" which won the Cannes Palme d'Or.

Anyone with these achievements would inevitably become complacent, but he then challenged himself with a rural reality-themed film "Hidden in the Dust", and then resolutely opened the door to 3D science fiction films with "Pacific Rim".

He is not afraid of failure and dares to try any subject. He also improves himself quickly and absorbs nutrients from different subjects.

Thinking of this, Huang Jianxin nodded vigorously.

"Old Han, you know what, this kid really has this kind of energy, and it seems that he will never reach a bottleneck."

"Yes, so he is the one I am most optimistic about now. You watched "The Shouting Mountain" at the opening ceremony, right? Who would have thought that Liu Yifei could play such a role, but he did it, and he did it so well that people didn't see any sense of disobedience at all."

"Indeed, he dares to think and act. The key is that he can always figure something out."

Sun Yi, who was waiting backstage with Liu Yifei to be the first to go on stage to present the award, didn't know that the two old men in front of him had commented on him.

It even raised him to a height that no one could reach.

Liu Yifei was holding the cue card, familiarizing herself with the award speech she would deliver on stage.

About 200 words, it’s best if you can memorize it.

As a real movie queen, it only takes a minute or two.

"Brother, what do you think, should we also participate in the awards?"

"Why, you wanna talk about cheating?"

Liu Yifei nodded. In her opinion, Starry Sky was already one of the assisting units of the film festival. If its works were to participate in the awards, it would seem like it was both a referee and a player, and it would be easy for people to catch them and make trouble.

Sun Yi smacked his lips, sighed, and said:

"It all depends on how you think about this question. I originally thought that I would not participate in this award review, but after I brought it up, Teacher Tian scolded me."

"I scolded you. Why?"

Liu Yifei opened her mouth in surprise.

"He said I was insulting him, and that I didn't trust his character or his fairness. He also said that even though he was my teacher, even if I was his father, there was no personal relationship with him, and everything was based on strength."

"The old man is not happy. If I dare to quit, he will kick my ass."

Sun Yi shrugged, looking helpless.

"Cuckoo~"

Liu Yifei covered her lips with the cue card, thinking about how Teacher Tian glared at Sun Yi and even raised his foot to kick him, and the corners of her eyes turned into crescents.

"Your husband almost got kicked, why are you so happy?"

"Yeah~"

It’s over. I can’t keep this daughter-in-law anymore.
