Chapter 574: Fruitless Meeting
A group of people didn't even laugh when they looked at Feng's pants.
It was hard for Feng Pants to answer the call "foreign brother" today. Everyone knew that he was going to hold this meeting.
Zhang Yang looked around and saw that his seat was right next to Li Xuejian, the main seat. Behind him seems to be Principal Zhang's seat. Opposite is Ren Dong of Shanghai Film Academy.
"Director Feng, don't be so polite. I can't afford it." Zhang Yang said calmly, walked to his seat, pulled out his chair, and sat down.
"Brother Yang, why are you so humble today?" Director Feng said with a smile.
"Director Feng, he is calling Brother Yang with his mouth, but in his heart he is Zhang Yang. There is no point in calling him." Zhang Yang said indifferently. He planned to focus on non-cooperation from beginning to end today.
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. Apart from taking photos with beautiful women, he also liked when great directors called him Brother Yang.
Everyone can still see this thought. Why do you seem so uninterested today? Isn't it possible that Zhang Yang is not interested in today's meeting?
"Brother Yang was the first one I called. I just thought of it and had no other meaning." Poet Chen said at this time.
"How's Director Chen's "Taoist Descending the Mountain" going?" Zhang Yang asked after hearing what Poet Chen said.
"It will be released in a few months, Brother Yang, don't forget to go and support it." Poet Chen said with a smile.
"Definitely. Will I regret what I promised?" Zhang Yang said with certainty.
While they were talking, Li Xuejian, Principal Zhang, and Director Ren walked in.
Everyone said hello together.
Zhang Yang also stood up, pulled the chair to his right and said with a smile: "Teacher, come and take a seat."
Principal Zhang was not polite, walked up to Zhang Yang and asked: "Has the American movie been filmed?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
"After so many years, how different is the difference between making a movie in the United States and in China?" Principal Zhang then asked.
Zhang Yang sat down and slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know. This time it was a literary film, and I also used my shooting team. I can't tell anything."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he said to Director Ren across from him: "Long time no see, Director Ren."
Ren Dong said with a smile: "Long time no see, but I am not Ren Dong."
It is true that major domestic film and television companies are undergoing major changes, and he has also quit.
"It was once, and it will be forever, and you are also a senior in the film and television industry." Zhang Yang said seriously.
"This is nothing like what you Zhang Yang said." What Director Ren said to Zhang Yang was actually very useful.
"Just telling the truth."
Li Xuejian saw Zhang Yang finish and said directly: "Everyone I invited is here today, let's start the meeting!"
When everyone heard what Li Xuejian said, they couldn't help but sit upright.
"It was Director Feng's suggestion to hold this meeting this time. I thought it made sense, so I opened it.
It's really not good to shoot a variety show for four or five days and just release it like this. If you have any ideas, please tell us directly. We will discuss a result today. No matter whether the final thing can be done or not, at least we must express our attitude. "After Li Xuejian finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Feng Pengtong said without hesitation: "Let me make some suggestions! This kind of movie is really outrageous. If we do this, will there be anyone serious about making movies in the future?"
This time we can jointly submit a letter to Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen who did not come. We can also ask them to come together after the meeting. There is strength in numbers. "
Then several old-school directors spoke, all with the same attitude.
At this time, Director Ren said: "You can't be so narrow-minded! Director Feng, you have forgotten the difficulties when you first started making commercial films.
In those movies of yours at that time, you would first prepare a few jokes and add some cleverness, and then slowly fill in the content at the end.
The mainstream media didn't like it at that time. If China Film had followed the mainstream media's lead, you, the former King of Lunar New Year, would not be around. "
Everyone looked at Director Ren in surprise. What he said was quite serious. It could be said that he was the one who revealed Feng's trousers.
Director Ren will not say this for no reason. This represents the attitude of the relevant units.
Although he retreated, the more he did so, the more he was able to speak without any scruples.
Li Xuejian, Feng Pants, and some old-school directors all looked bad.
The Filmmakers Guild is more influential than the Directors Guild, but the more people there are from related units.
Fortunately, Director Zhang did not come today, otherwise this meeting would not have been held.
Yes, Director Zhang is the vice chairman of the Filmmakers Association.
In fact, even Principal Zhang and Director Ren were not invited by Li Xuejian. They came over on their own initiative after knowing about it. To a certain extent, it represents the attitude of China Film and Shanghai Film.
These are not people he can refuse.
"I think what Director Ren said makes sense. Back then, Xiangjiang often finished filming a movie in ten days and a half." Principal Zhang also spoke at this time.
"So Xiangjiang Movie is no longer viable." Poet Chen suddenly said.
Poet Chen doesn't like variety movies either. He wonders if he can let Principal Zhang continue talking. Otherwise Zhang Yang would not speak up.
Principal Zhang is Zhang Yang’s only orthodox teacher in directing.
But in this meeting, Zhang Yangfa's influence was definitely different even if he didn't speak out.
Li Xuejian looked at Zhang Yang, who had been silent, and said, "Zhang Yang, what do you think?"
"Everyone has their own opinions and reasons. It's hard to say!" Zhang Yang said awkwardly.
"There is a lot of time today, you can speak slowly." Li Xuejian added.
"It's probably impossible to ban it across the board," Zhang Yang said.
"What do you think, Brother Yang?" Poet Chen said.
Zhang Yang didn't care about his title and said directly: "Where are we, Filmmakers Association?
For those guests who have participated in variety shows for a long time, just think more about film honors. "When everyone heard what Zhang Yang said, it made sense. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers were organized by their association.
"Isn't this enough! Brother Yang." Feng Pants said at this time.
Indeed, those who pursue honor like Deng Chao may have scruples, but what about those who have no pursuit of honor and only want to make money?
"Does Director Feng still remember "The Breakup Master"?" Zhang Yang asked him playfully.
This time, not only Feng Pants, but also many of the directors present could not help but smile contemptuously. Although this film did well at the box office, its reputation was ruined.
"Zhang Yang, you are a genius in directing. Deng Chao has no talent in directing." Principal Zhang couldn't help but say.
At the same time, he was also secretly proud that there were only a few Chinese opera directors who were good at it, but they, like Nortel, had so many masters.
"Yes, Deng Chao just has no self-awareness. He still has some talent for acting, but he always wants to act in comedies." Feng Pengtong said with a smile.
Deng Chao wanted to be a director after leaving Huayi. They Hua Yi most wanted to see Deng Chao’s jokes.
Zhang Yang said calmly: "What about "Little Love: Getting Better"?"
Everyone smiled again and looked at Feng Pants.
When Feng Pengtong saw everyone's looks, he felt a little embarrassed. The negative consequences of Huayi’s decision to turn it into a movie have already appeared.
Guess what was the highest box office of a movie controlled by Huayi last year?
That's right, that's 2.84 million from the movie "Little Love: Getting Better".
Not to mention the actors in this movie, who would have thought that such a vulgar movie was actually shot by Gu Photography.
A literary director who made "Peacock", "The Beginning of Spring" and "The Favorite" embraced the market and came up with this thing.
"Let's talk about what they are doing." Feng Trousers decisively changed the subject.
"Because they are all shortlisted for the annual commendation list of your Directors Guild. Don't you know that you have been in the Directors Guild for so long these days?" Zhang Yang said curiously.
Before Feng Pants could say anything, Poet Chen said righteously: "Zhang Yang, don't worry, no movie like this will win an award."
"With Poet Chen as the chairman of the final review, I certainly know that none of them will win. But do you think they should be shortlisted?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"Director Feng, everyone must be treated equally when doing things. The most difficult thing to pay attention to in life is fairness."
Zhang Yang's words immediately stopped Feng's pants. Last year at the Directors Guild Commendation Conference, he saw that there were no good films registered and there were a lot of vacant awards.
This year, so many bad movies have been shortlisted. Should he shoot or not? You can't just criticize variety shows and ignore the bad movies that were shortlisted! This is not really like a crow calling a pig black.
It's okay for you to make a bad movie, but it is shortlisted for a commendation conference. Isn't this a huge irony?
These two bad movies can be shortlisted because one is controlled by Huayi and the other is controlled by Fiber Optic. Zhang Yang just hoped that Feng Pengtong would stop meddling in his own business.
Li Xuejian came to Feng Pants' rescue and said, "Let's talk about variety shows and movies!"
He held this meeting today just for the variety show movie.
"The audience is not fools. If they were fooled once or twice, how can they be fooled ten or eight times? Variety movies can't last long.
I think Director Zhang’s speech is comprehensive, as long as there are restrictions on children’s large-scale participation in variety shows and variety movies.
I think the film industry has more important things to deal with. "Zhang Yang came up with a new idea.
Variety movies in previous lives were short-lived. Now the leading variety movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" has been wiped out by Zhang Yang, and none of the remaining variety movies can make a big splash.
"What's the matter? Zhang Yang, please tell me." Principal Zhang said.
"Yes, come and listen." Director Ren also spoke.
When Li Xuejian saw that he had just talked about a variety show movie, Zhang Yang proposed a new idea, so forget it, and two other people followed Zhang Yang.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yang. He really didn't expect that Zhang Yang would no longer care about variety movies.
"The taxation issue in our film and television industry." Zhang Yang said calmly.
Nowadays, it can be said that it is almost common knowledge in the industry that film and television stars evade taxes.
As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, the expressions of the group of people represented by Fatty Yu and Feng Pants changed. Zhang Yang had stirred up a hornet's nest.
"Brother Yang, this issue is too complicated. Today we should consider the issue of variety shows and movies!" Feng Pants was the first to speak up.
"Yes, Zhang Yang's issue is not something we have to worry about. It's useless for us to say this." Fatty Yu also spoke.
Everyone else also looked like they didn't want to discuss the issue.
Zhang Yang looked at these people as if what he was talking about just now was not the tax issue, but their wives. I don't even want to talk to him.
At this point in today's meeting, it can be said that it basically ended in failure.
Feng Pengtong and Li Xuejian thought of last year's "Where Are We Going, Dad" movie and thought Zhang Yang would be interested in variety movies.
Last year's variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad", many people in the industry now know that this was Zhang Yang's fault.
Moreover, Zhang Yang also contributed to Director Zhang’s contribution to this year’s debate, so I thought of inviting Zhang Yang to come and speak out together.
As a result, Zhang Yang seems to be satisfied with limiting the variety show movies for minors.
I came over today and came up with the idea of discreetly awarding awards to resident variety artists. This is really not a big deterrent. As long as there are more actors participating in variety shows,
If you don’t give out any awards, there will be no one at the film festival.
Later, Zhang Yang kept talking without mentioning today's topic. This was because he didn't care about the meeting.
And the last tax issue has touched the nerves of many people.
The meeting ended shortly afterwards without a single statement being reached.
Zhang Yang and Principal Zhang left the conference room and walked together.
