China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 54 Creative Symposium Recruitment of Director Tian Zhuangzhuang
  On the Internet, "The Tuner" is still going viral, and a piece of news suddenly attracted the attention of many interested people.

"It is reported that a new script written by director Chen Dong has been reviewed. It is called "Xiu Chun Dao" and the theme is ancient costume martial arts... The investment and actors have not yet been decided."

In the past two years, martial arts movies have been declining.

So almost no one expected that Chen Dong, a rising star director, would actually take on a movie with an unpopular theme like martial arts.

So much so that after seeing this news, many people in the industry either lamented or mocked that Chen Dongpiao was gone.

Even many "cute" movie fan friends actually "kindly" advised him on the Internet not to be impulsive and to change the subject, such as youth campus... Well, at first glance, these movie fans are not very old.

During the day, when Chen Dong gave Liu Yifei a gift, he asked her to go back and open it again. The girl was really obedient.

"Huh? What is this? A book?"

"Ah...it's actually an invitation from the heroine of the movie!!!"

At this time, Miss Liu was a little excited and alarmed her mother.

Liu Xiaoli thought something had happened to her daughter, so she walked over quickly. Her first glance was at the card Liu Yifei was holding in her hand, and her second glance fell on the cover of the book in the gift box.

There are three big characters written on the cover: "Embroidered Spring Knife"!
  This name Liu Xiaoli is not unfamiliar because she saw it while surfing the Internet today.

I know this is probably Chen Dong's next movie.

Look at how happy my daughter is now...

She didn't know what kind of expression to show for a moment. In short, her mood was very complicated at this time.

Liu Yifei remembered the last time her mother rejected "Those Years" behind her back. The next second, she protected both the card and the script in her arms like a hen guarding its chicks, and looked at her mother warily.

"..."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's eyes, and her eyes became more complicated.

…………

"Suddenly, there was a message from outside the sword that Jibei was being collected. When I first heard it, my clothes were filled with tears. But I saw where my wife was worried. She was filled with poems and books and was wild with joy..."

At the symposium organized by the Olympic Committee, Chen Dongzheng, who was sitting closest to the door, felt drowsy. Suddenly he heard someone reciting an impassioned poem when he was talking about rising. He was no longer sleepy in an instant.

Good poems, good poems, he is worthy of the reputation of Poet Chen.

Chen Dong still remembers that he later directed the movie "The Legend of the Cat Demon" and made the phrase "clouds look like clothes, flowers look like faces, and spring breeze blows the threshold of revealing dew." became popular.

What's the actress' name? I can’t remember it at the moment, but the character Yang Guifei she played does have a graceful and luxurious beauty!
  Although the poetry read by Poet Chen was good and indeed refreshing, the creativity gave it a sense of improvisation.

After Poet Chen, Li Yu spoke. How should I describe this person?
  In a word, he's from Hollywood.

Did you suddenly get strong?

And this is not the future, it is still 05, still the peak of this person.

If Chen Dong remembers correctly, this year he will win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival for his gay movie "Brokeback Mountain."

Do you think this is over?

not at all.

Next year, the film will win the Academy Award for Best Director.

Of course, that's not to say this movie is a classic.

The main reason is that the topic it discusses is homosexuality... which is quite taboo, and it also scratched the itch of the judges of these film festivals.

Afterwards, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Gu Changwei... directors spoke one after another.

It's Chen Dong's turn.

Although he knew that he was here to make soy sauce, he also drafted it in advance, unlike Poet Chen who came with sunglasses and a mouth.

As for his creativity, of course he copied... ahem, borrowed it from his previous life.

There are some innovative points, but it's not enough to stand out. After all, as a young man, he didn't want to show off too much in front of this group of 'elders'.

Well, it's better to be low-key.

When Chen Dong finished speaking and sat down, the department-level cadre who presided over the symposium made a few comments, and then everyone discussed freely for more than half an hour before the meeting was declared over.

"Director Xiao Chen..."

After leaving the conference room, Chen Dong was about to leave when he heard someone calling him from behind.

I turned around and saw that it was Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, oh no, I should call him Teacher Tian now.

"Teacher Tian, ​​did you call me?"

"Haha, yes, Director Xiao Chen left in such a hurry. Is there something wrong?"

"That's not true..."

Originally, Chen Dong planned to go back to the company directly. Since he left with Tian Zhuangzhuang, his purpose became school.

Along the way, this fifth-generation director who had just returned to school to teach was very talkative and discussed a lot of film knowledge with Chen Dong.

Director Xiao Chen not only benefited a lot, but at least many things became enlightened.

Seeing that the two were about to part ways on campus, director Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly asked: "Director Xiao Chen is in his junior year, right? Are you interested in applying for my graduate degree?"

"..." Chen Dongren was stunned for a moment. Was this the old man's idea? !
  But to be honest, he was really excited for a second.

If it were his previous life, and this person was willing to accept him, he would have knelt down on the spot to become his disciple without batting an eyelid.

But in this life, when he makes a movie, he always has it in his mind. Is this still necessary?
  It seems to be gone.

The main reason is that he doesn’t want to go to graduate school...

Too troublesome.

If he simply wanted to become a disciple, he would still be willing.

After all, the discussion between the two of them in the car just now helped him solve some problems that he only knew about but didn't understand.

Seeing Chen Dong's hesitation, Tian Zhuangzhuang said slightly disappointedly: "Don't be in a hurry, think about it carefully when you get back."

"Haha, okay. Anyway, thank you Teacher Tian for answering questions along the way."

Chen Dong didn't want to reject this person on the spot. Since the other party gave him a step up, he took advantage of it.

……

Online, the news that a group of well-known directors gathered at the Olympic Organizing Committee meeting has been reported by the media. However, it did not cause much discussion and was covered by the topic of the second Super Girl Draft announced by Shonan Channel.

"The Supergirls of 05 seem to be those of Li Yuchun and the others, right?"

Chen Dongwu nodded to himself and sighed: "That's so exciting!"

Wait, something seems not quite right...

Chen Dong looked at his mobile phone, and he suddenly understood. News about his new movie had obviously been posted online by the media, but no investor took the initiative to contact him this time?

Just as I was thinking about this, the phone rang.

And several more came as soon as they arrived.

"Hey, Director Han... Hahaha, yes, my next movie is going to be "Xiu Chun Knife". Yes, it is a martial arts movie, but it is different from Chuan Wu... Investment? Let's talk about this later. ...Okay, okay, goodbye, Director Han."

"Hey Brother Jiang Wen...what? Want me to invest in your movie? Aren't you still in the period of the ban on directing? Are you planning a project next year? Oh, that's all right. What's it called? "The Sun Also Rises"...cough, let's talk again , talk to you later.”

"Hey, who are you? Oh, it turns out to be Director Yam. Remember, Raytheon wants to invest? Haha, this movie hasn't been approved yet. When it is, I'm contacting Director Yam. Okay, in vain."

"Hey, Mr. Ye..."
