Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 141: Serving the Country and the People (Additional Update, Requesting for Monthly Tickets, Requesting for Rewards)

When Fang Hong came back, he made an appointment to meet with Xu Jiandong, the one who had previously provided him with support funds and the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Beijing Film Academy.

After hearing about this, he said that he could only contact them and he couldn't take care of the specific details of the matter.

He is not a teacher at heart.

Afterwards, Fang Hong made an appointment with Xue Xiaolu, Jiao Huajing's mentor Cao Baoping, and Liu Yin's mentor, Professor Lin Tao from the Department of Video, who is also the executive director of the Photographers Association and also a teacher of Yu Xian.

Afterwards, Fang Hong asked Wen Muye to invite his mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang out as well. Of course, Tian Zhuangzhuang was also Fang Hong's mentor, but he was not familiar with him.

Han Jianu helped to make an appointment with Xie Xiaojing, who is the vice president of Beijing Film Academy and receives a subsidy.

He belongs to the same class as Zhang Yimou and Chen Daren.

It turns out that Zuo Shandiao’s daughter has connections.

Nine people in total, including big names in literature, photography, and directing, as well as other experts and professors, gathered at the Fengzeyuan Chinese Restaurant in Beijing.

These people are all powerful figures with students all over the world, but perhaps capital is not interested in them.

But they have the right to interpret the movie, to explain what your movie is like, what it should be like, and what it can be like.

The reason why Fang Hong was able to invite them out was that many students, both graduated and not yet graduated, were basically working at Yutu.

Yutu is also the first choice for students of Beijing Film Academy to do internship and gain experience!
There's nothing else to say. It's more tolerant here, with more opportunities and faster promotions. Moreover, the pay is based on the same treatment as in the industry, not based on internships.

It can be said that Yutu has become a gathering place for the young generation of talents in Beijing Film Academy.

Of course, this was intentional on Fang Hong's part. He didn't want to tie his company to Nortel unless it was absolutely necessary, as that would make things a bit complicated.

But there is no way. If you don't do this, others will force you to taste the taste of power.

Those accompanying them this time include Chen Zhixi, Han Jianu, Jiao Huajing, and Xu Jiandong. Others like Liu Yin, Li Anran, Wen Muye, etc. are all filming outside and cannot come back for the time being.

Except for Chen Zhixi who is not from Beijing Film Academy, basically everyone here is from Beijing Film Academy!
"Hello teacher!"

At the door of the private room, Fang Hong held Tian Zhuangzhuang's hand and bowed slightly.

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder. He still remembered this student who had rejected his proposal to take the postgraduate entrance examination before.

It didn’t seem like much at the time, but now I’m deeply impressed!

"Teacher Tian, ​​this way please."

Chen Zhixi gestured and invited him to take a seat in the private room.

Han Jianu also led Xie Xiaojing to introduce: "This is Yutu's chairman, Fang Hong."

"I've heard of him. I heard that many people call him the principal." Xie Xiaojing said.

This title has spread throughout the Beijing Film Academy and it is impossible not to hear about it.

"Please don't take it seriously. I don't deserve it. My classmates were just joking." Fang Hong said flatteringly.

"Hahaha, relax. Being called like that is a skill. It's nothing." Xie Xiaojing said with a smile.

"President, you are too kind. Please come in." Fang Hong gestured with his hand.

Xie Xiaojing nodded and walked towards the private room. Han Jianu would naturally arrange a seat for him.

Anyway, we are all acquaintances and we will see each other every day.

"Teacher Xue, Teacher Cao." Fang Hong shouted.

Xue Xiaolu and Cao Baoping were brought here by Jiao Huajing, and the three of them were together.

"Actually, I'm here just to get a free meal. Jiao Huajing told me about your problem, and I can't help you in any way." Xue Xiaolu said.

"I just want to treat you to a meal, to thank you for making such a great film for my company."

Fang Hong was talking about "Beijing Meets Seattle".

"Hehehe, then I can eat this meal with peace of mind." Xue Xiaolu covered his mouth and smiled. This guy really knows how to talk.

Don't ask for help, just say thank you.

In fact, the problem is not difficult to solve. Just find someone familiar with you and ask what's going on. Just say hello and it will be almost solved.

Essentially, there wasn't a big problem with the movie; it was Fang Hong who made a big deal out of it.

In fact, Fang Hong wanted to solve the problem once and for all, so he came out from time to time to disgust him, which was very annoying.

If the movie was shown at night for one month, he would suffer heavy losses. If it was shown at night for two months, he would lose hundreds of millions.

To block his money is like killing his parents.

"Hello, Teacher Cao!"

Fang Hong and Cao Baoping shook hands, and Jiao Huajing introduced them.

"Young and promising." Cao Baoping praised.

Being able to invite so many big names from Beijing Film Academy to the event really requires extraordinary power.

Without early planning, most people can't do this.

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Cao. If there is a chance, I would like to work with you," said Fang Hong.

"Okay, as long as the book is suitable, I'll take it." Cao Baoping nodded.

"Please come in, teachers." Fang Hong gestured.

Jiao Huajing invited the two teachers to walk inside.

After they left, Fang Hong walked towards another person: "Hello, Teacher Lin."

Lin Tao was chatting with Xu Jiandong and turned around: "I know you, you and Yu Xian are good friends. I'm curious, where did you take Yu Xian?"

There is something joking in this statement.

When Yu Xian and Fang Hong were collaborating on making short films for assignment, they were often listed together, so he knew him.

This circle is actually not that big. "He went to the United States to study. He had big ambitions. I told him that no matter where he goes, he should never forget where he came from and where he is going back to."

What Fang Hong talked about as politeness was actually nonsense.

But Lin Tao felt comfortable listening to it: "Your ideological awareness is correct. No matter where you go or what you do, don't forget your roots."

"Yes, what the teacher said is that we, the younger generation, should learn the spirit of serving the country and the people from the older generation." Fang Hongdao.

Xu Jiandong listened and smiled. He always knew that Fang Hong was powerful.

These words sounded meaningless, and there was no compliment to Lin Tao in them, but they just included Lin Tao in the praise, and when he praised him, he was praising a group of people.

The older generation, they are all the older generation.

"Come on, let's go in too."

Xu Jiandong gestured, then smiled at Fang Hong and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm just here to eat."

"Then Secretary Xu, please enjoy your meal and drink."

"."

Fang Hong greeted everyone and then went into the private room where experts and professors from Beijing Film Academy were chatting with each other.

They were all acquaintances, so Chen Zhixi had no say.

But there was no need for her to get a word in, she was only there to pour tea and water.

There are naturally other people who liven up the atmosphere.

The decoration in the box is simple and elegant, and there are various delicacies on the table.

Xie Xiaojing wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled at everyone present: "Xiao Fang spent a lot of money today. We can't eat and drink for free. Xiao Fang, just tell me what happened to you."

When he said this, he looked at Fang Hong and said, "Let me make it clear first. If it is against principles or regulations, we can't help you."

In other words, if you make a mistake and don’t help, you will kill Fang Hong first!
"I don't know whether this is considered a violation of the rules. Please help me judge it." Fang Hong looked at Jiao Huajing.

"This is it, teachers, we made a movie, this movie"

Jiao Huajing talked about the specific content of "Bad Genius". She also wrote the script and saw the original film, so she is very familiar with it.

She spoke in a clear and coherent tone, and in just a few words she explained the content and problems of the film clearly.

"There's nothing wrong with your movie. The setting is Hong Kong, and the cheating is about cheating in the U.S. college entrance examination. It essentially has little to do with this place." Xie Xiaojin thought for a moment.

"Yes, I've also read the book, but I don't know if there's something wrong with the Chinese students. But I don't think the authorities are so sensitive." Xue Xiaolu expressed his opinion.

Others who listened also felt that this shouldn't be the case. Filmmakers are now encouraged to think divergently and create more types of good films.

It would be best if we could compete with Hollywood movies and maintain our own cultural position and market.

The film review process in this era is still quite lenient.

Moreover, this film called "Bad Genius" does not involve ideology, nor does it show people the bad things happening at home.

The story is set in Hong Kong, and cheating is the subject of the US college entrance examination.

If you say that Chinese students are not suitable, then your college entrance examination has a lot of loopholes, so the problem is even bigger. In essence, you are not criticizing the country.

Moreover, the movie does not specifically mention Chinese students, but includes the whole of Asia.

So it has little to do with us in essence.

After this incident broke out in the previous life, we introduced it.

"Old Lin, please ask. If there is indeed a problem, tell us where the problem is so that Xiaofang can have an idea." Xie Xiaojin looked at Lin Tao.

"it is good!"

Lin Tao took out his cell phone and dialed.

Everyone else fell silent, all looking at Lin Tao, watching him talk on the phone.

After a while, Lin Tao put down his phone and asked, "Xiao Fang, did you offend someone?"

"No!" Fang Hong looked confused.

Of course he had offended people, but he could not admit it and had to maintain his innocence.

He can clearly distinguish who is a good person in front of others and who is a bad person in front of others.

"Let me tell you this. I just asked, and they reviewed the review of your film, and there is no problem with it."

"Then why should I change it?" Fang Hong blurted out.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me first."

Lin Tao could also understand him. It was not easy to make a movie. So much money and so many people’s hard work, money and energy were spent.

He continued, "I want you to change it to someone calling you back with the excuse of 'not sure'."

This is easy to understand, it means "groundless", which means that there may be something wrong with this movie, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

But if you want to say that you have no problem, you can also say that you have no problem.

Anyway, they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, but generally they won't make it that difficult. After all, movies always have some extraordinary moments.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has such a projection, but it is still being released and broadcast as usual. The scale is very relaxed.

Although "Bad Genius" is not so positive, it is much smaller in scale than "Let the Bullets Fly".

In essence, this is just a commercial blockbuster, which has nothing to do with art films, and it cannot be considered a film with connotation or reflection.

This is also the reason why Lin Tao asked whether Fang Hong had offended someone.

"That's it"

Fang Hong didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear: he wanted to ask for help, and he was also very depressed.

Still too kind!
