Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 130 Director Tian: Jiecheng is a good boy!
By referring to the memories of his previous life and working backwards, Zhen Jiecheng can clearly conclude that the Olympic Committee most likely designated Zhang Yimou and his team very early on.

The reason for organizing a competition is to mobilize people, hold seminars, and submit campaign proposals for preliminary screening before the formal bidding.

In addition to showing an attitude of importance, it is simply to reduce public attacks when it is announced that Zhang Yimou will be the chief director in the future.

After all, the "black eight minutes" of Yadio is still vivid in people's minds. Even though there are many praises on the Internet, there are also many criticisms in China.

Countless letters of complaint flooded into the Olympic Committee, and there were even joint petitions.

The superiors were also in a dilemma about this.

They can't publicly announce that the organizer of Yadio didn't allow Zhang Yimou's team to bring their equipment into the venue and severely restricted the performance, right?
You can't tell the public that Yayoi only provided a narrow stage of 49 square meters for Zhang Yimou to fill in the performance content, right?

As a big country, this is not an issue that we can tolerate or ignore.

But once the argument starts, it will give Western media reasons to criticize them, and at the same time, public intellectuals in China will emerge to spread the view that "lack of ability means only making excuses."

So I can only choose to swallow my anger.

Zhen Jiecheng also understands this.

Therefore, in addition to demonstrating a positive attitude, submitting a proposal is also about providing the Olympic Committee with some new ideas and thoughts to the best of our ability.

Zhen Jiecheng believed that he had no ability or energy to host such a significant event.

Lao Mouzi is really too abnormal! There is no comparison!

Yu Hua once teased Lao Mouzi: He was going to shoot "The River's Mistake" but suddenly changed his mind and chose "To Live". Then he said that "To Live" caused him to lose sleep all night. Later I found out that he lied to me because he only slept one or two hours a day.

Yu Hua's ridicule is certainly exaggerated, but it can be used as evidence to describe Zhang Yimou's energy.

While busy with the opening ceremony, she even found time to shoot two movies and had a baby.

He was filming on the set one moment, and hosting a discussion meeting for the Olympic creative team directly in the crew the next.

They worked hard to put on the most exciting opening ceremony performance in Olympic history.

I can't accept it!

"Jiecheng, drink some soup before you write."

"Well, put it here first, I'll drink it later."

"Okay! If it gets cold later, tell me and I'll heat it up for you."

Cheng Hao couldn't help Zhen Jiecheng develop ideas or provide advice, so he could only choose not to disturb him.

Watch over them quietly, accompany them silently, lend a hand in time when there is something, and avoid trivial matters delaying their work and interrupting their thoughts.

Gently closing the study door, Cheng Hao picked up his mobile phone and opened the memo.

The memo surprisingly added the names of several Hong Kong actresses, among which exclamation marks were separately noted after the names of Li Zi and Weng Hong.

Angry? You should be angry.

However, against the historical background of Zhen Jiecheng's glorious military exploits, Cheng Hao, who had long been accustomed to it, felt that Zhen Jiecheng had been making progress.

At least, they know to go home after eating and are willing to make friends. Instead of moving there directly to settle down, they always repeat the process of moving and settling down, right?

Cheng Hao only selectively referred to the suggestions provided by Sister-in-law Cheng Hong.

How old was Director Kai Ge at that time? Could he have the energy, recovery, and fighting ability of Jie Cheng?

However, Sister Cheng Hong's method of forcing the emperor to abdicate can be imitated, but we just need to use a different approach.

Don't be aggressive or menacing, but rather be like.
Cheng Hao's gaze fell on the name "Zhou Huimin" in the memo, and Zhou Huimin's sweet and naive tone seemed to ring in his ears.

"How to capture a man's heart?"

"Have a baby with him!"

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his expression became more expectant.

"It will be three years in a few months."

"Time flies so fast."

"I've been guarding these seeds for so long, it's time for them to sprout!"

"In a few months, it will be the three-year period agreed upon by you and Cheng Hao. What are your plans?"

Cheng Hao and Xing Aina went out shopping together, so Ning Hao could speak boldly.

"Tsk, isn't it just a renewal?" Zhen Jiecheng crossed his legs and pointed his nose at Ning Hao, "Is it that difficult?"

"I'm telling you, Cheng Hao is the one who's been working so hard for the company. You have to be conscientious and don't fool around. You have to appease her."

"Forget it! Do I need you to remind me? Besides, where do you get the courage to mention the word 'conscience'? I'm still single after all, how about you? You've had a lot of massages, right? You've had a lot of foot massages, right? You've sung karaoke, right? You've hugged a lot of girls, right?"

"You... you're talking nonsense!" Ning Hao stiffened his neck and blushed, "I didn't!"

"Hehe, do you want me to call Xu Zheng and Huang Bo over so you can explain in front of them?"

The Iron Triangle of the Foot Massage City in the previous life met ahead of schedule in this life. After the filming of "Crazy Stone" was completed, these three people, just like in the previous life, had similar interests and hit it off immediately and debuted as a group.

Especially Xu Zheng, who has a charming little dragon girl at home! No matter how you look at it, she is much better than the foot massage girl, isn't she?

This behavior made Duan Yihong so shocked that he tried to avoid Xu Zheng every time he came to the company.

Any man would feel upset if his former white moonlight was treated like this by others.

"What's there to explain? Why bother them to come all the way for such a trivial matter? You're making a fuss out of nothing!" Ning Hao responded quickly, and then quickly changed the subject, "How are you going to promote Crazy Stone?"

"Tsk, the topic change is so awkward, no wonder you don't have the confidence to deal with Sister Na. You deserve to be able to only get foot massages and never taste decent and clean wild flowers!"

Zhen Jiecheng spat, then opened the drawer and threw out a file bag.

"Here, the publicity plan!"

Ning Hao opened it and his eyes widened.

First poster:
Han Shanping sat in the center, holding his head high with pride.

Surrounded by them on the left and right, Xu Jinglei is graceful and elegant, and Fan Bingbing smiles like a flower.

Behind Zuoshandiao, Li Xiaolu, with two sweet dimples, put her hands on his shoulders.

Title: "In-depth analysis of why "Crazy Stone" made Zuo Shandiao condescend and perform enthusiastically!"

"屮!"

He yelled in shock.

Ning Hao shuddered violently.
“When was this poster taken?”

“I didn’t take any photos!”

"Synthetic?" Ning Hao's voice was trembling.

"if not?"

"Is this what you're promoting?"

"How can it be!"

"Oh! That's good, that's good!" Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you see the thick stack of folders? You've only read the first one, there are more to come!"

"Fuck!" Ning Hao's voice broke. "If you want to harm me, just say it directly. Don't play these fancy little tricks. If this thing is publicized, won't President Han hate me to death?"

"Why should I hate you? Isn't this poster very serious? Isn't it reasonable to put the four guest appearances together?"

"But your title and content!" Ning Hao's lips trembled, "You call this serious? Or reasonable?"

"It's true that we released the poster, but the title was fabricated by the entertainment tabloids, and the content was speculated by the paparazzi. What does it have to do with us?" Zhen Jiecheng spread his hands.
"Besides, it was Zhang Weiping who first called out the nickname Zuoshan Diao. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and Zhang Dazui is the senior's enemy!"

"As for us, we are still the senior's benefactors!"

Zhen Jiecheng said as he spread out all the documents.

"Look, look, the rest is all about me and these three women, and Yanzu Wu!"

"I sacrificed my own reputation to muddy the waters and greatly saved the reputation of my senior. Isn't this a benefactor?"

"And these!"

"Xu Jinglei temporarily put aside her directorial duties for The Sun Also Rises to perform passionately!"

"Fan Bingbing booked a room, ordered food, and ordered a hot spring. He lost both his money and his life before he got the chance!"

“Why did Yanzu Wu give up the big production in Hong Kong and join an unknown small crew?”

"What kind of movie could make Li Xiaolu trade roles in a car late at night?"

"Around these topics, isn't it just a random thing to promote the movie?"

Zhen Jiecheng was talking nonstop, while Ning Hao was dumbfounded.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
"What about the protagonists? Guo Tao, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xiao Juner, none of them were mentioned?"

"Why use a main character for something that can be done by supporting actors and guest actors?" Zhen Jiecheng grinned, "There's no need to bother them. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Zhen Jiecheng's shamelessness once again refreshed Ning Hao's cognitive bottom line.

He would never have thought that such a high-end gameplay could be developed by selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.

But Zhen Jiecheng still argued:

Just tell me whether they acted or not?
What the hell is the protagonist or supporting role? Everyone is equal on the set. No matter how big or small the role is, we should treat it as a serious play.

Just tell me whether the movie is good or not?

What the hell is this false propaganda? As long as the quality of the film is guaranteed, it can't be considered a deception.

You know what, that’s really the truth!
So Ning Hao stopped struggling and quickly prepared an excuse for himself according to Zhen Jiecheng's thinking:

Although I shot the movie, the investment was paid by Jiecheng, and the publicity and promotion was also done by Jiecheng Film and Television Company. What does it have to do with me, Ning?
But what Ning Hao didn't know was that Zhen Jiecheng called Han Shanping right after he left the door.

"Hey, Senior."

"Isn't Crazy Stone scheduled for July? Ning Hao's personal director studio is already preparing to start promotion."

"Look, I saw a composite poster of you in the promotional poster that put together several guest actors."

"Considering that Fan Bingbing, Xu Jinglei, and Li Xiaolu are all women, and you are the only man, I feel that it is a bit inappropriate. I am worried that entertainment tabloids will write articles and spread rumors, so I called to consult your opinion."

"What? It's okay?"

"Yes! You are right, I really thought too much. Senior, you have experienced enough slander, rumors and gossip over the years, haven't you? Zhang Dazui even publicly called you a mountain eagle! But the innocent are innocent, and you are tolerant. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, senior, your realm is enough for me to learn from for a lifetime!"

"Okay, senior! I'll let Ning Hao know later. I'll thank you for your support on his behalf!"

"Don't worry, I have prepared my campaign proposal with absolute sincerity and dedication! I will submit it to the Olympic Committee on time for their selection."

"Goodbye, senior!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Jiecheng put the written campaign plan into his backpack, then went downstairs and drove straight to Beijing Film Academy.

As for the matter of using Mr. Han for hype, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Rumors! Zuoshandiao has long been accustomed to them, not to mention that some of them are not certain whether they are false or not.

Others can make a profit? But I can’t?
What's more, the movie was shot by Ning Hao, and the news was written by the paparazzi. What does it have to do with me, Zhen? I even called to remind them!
Thinking about it, my mood becomes better and better.

I entered the Beijing Film Academy campus humming a little tune all the way.

At this time, "Fairy Tale" had replaced Liu Nai Cha's sad love songs and spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Even Zhou Jielun and Lin Donglin had to lower their heads and get out of the way.

The only ones who can compete with them are those who appeared in the second Super Girl Contest of Xiangchu TV: Chun Ge led a group of girls to charge forward, unstoppable.

Just by voting via text messages, Xiangchu TV made a lot of money.

Even on the campus of Beijing Film Academy, the heated discussion about Super Girls has not diminished.

Compared with other schools,

The teachers and students of Beijing Film Academy, especially those in the Performance Department, have been obviously not in a talkative mood these days, and even seem a little autistic.

"Qinghong" won an award!

Beijing Film Academy once again produced a great director of art films, who won honors at the Cannes Film Festival. Although he missed the Palme d'Or, don't take the Jury Award for granted. It should be a happy occasion for a director of Beijing Film Academy to win an award, and in fact, the directing department of Beijing Film Academy did so, holding seminars and special lectures.

Then, of course, I greeted the Department of Performance:

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. We are all from Beijing Film Academy, so let us share the glory of our department with you!

Don’t forget to assign the film review homework of “Qinghong” in the future!
Then the teachers and students of the Performance Department were dumbfounded.

Counting the main actors of "Qinghong": Qin Hao is from the Central Academy of Drama!
Wang Xueyang studied for his undergraduate degree at the PLA Art Academy and for his graduate studies at the Chinese Academy of Drama!

As for Gao Yuanyuan, the school she graduated from was not in the art circle at all.

There is not a single Beijing Film Academy actor in the entire film “Qinghong”!
If this happened in the past, everyone would accept it even if it was a little sad, and pretend not to see the actor column.

Anyway, I did the same thing when I was screening the works of directors from Beijing Film Academy before, so I'm used to it.

But this year is different. The recruitment promotional video of the Central Academy of Drama is like a sharp knife stabbing the chest of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.

How long has it been? Not to mention the wound has scabbed over, the knife handle is still dripping with blood!
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Qinghong" is like holding the knife handle and stirring it a few more times, causing the old injuries of the acting department to relapse and adding new pain.

According to reliable sources, the Performance Department of the neighboring Central Academy of Drama immediately called the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy to congratulate.

After summarizing, the content is roughly like this: Warm congratulations to Director Wang Xiaoshuai, a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, for leading the actors of the Central Academy of Drama to win the Cannes trophy and win the honor!
Listen, is this something a human being can say? Even if it's a little more tactful?
No manners, no shame!

So in this context, when Zhen Jiecheng entered the campus, he did not go straight to the director's office like the day before, but chose to walk slowly on the campus.

Soon it attracted a crowd of attention, who gathered around to watch and even started chatting.

Senior Jiecheng is different! Senior Jiecheng's works always pursue "Northern quality"!

Even when Parasite was filmed in Hong Kong, he did not forget his alma mater. Even though he was in Hong Kong, he specially commissioned the director of the directing department to organize auditions on campus and selected Wang Luodan from the 01 class.

Together with Liu Yifei from Class 02, two actors who are current students of Beijing Film Academy were crammed in.

The most important point is: there is not a single one from the Central Academy of Drama!
The photography and directing departments, which are full of foul feng shui, can actually produce a clear stream like Senior Jiecheng.

How good bamboo shoots can grow from bad bamboo, and how green lotus can bloom in mud!
"Senior, after the film of Parasite is finished, it will also be sent to participate in the three major European film festivals, right?"

"Yes! Yes!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Senior, we are all waiting to do the film-pulling assignment for Parasite!"

"Hahaha, it's still early, but I'd like to thank you for your good wishes!" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Senior, can you tell us about the filming of Parasite?"

"There is a lot to say, and it will take too long to finish!" Zhen Jiecheng looked at his watch and said, "I have something else to do here, why don't you go ask Xixi? I ​​have assigned Xixi an analysis assignment on the set, and she must have a lot of insights to share with you."

Seeing this, everyone stopped surrounding Zhen Jiecheng and let the passage go.

With the warmest smile, we bid farewell to Zhen Jiecheng as he walked towards the office building where the directing department's office was located.

"Teacher, you don't know, this is the first time that my juniors have been so enthusiastic towards me even though I don't have any film projects!"

Before the person even entered the office, the voice had already sounded.
"My goodness, has my reputation at Beijing Film Academy become so good? Hahahaha, it's true that after three days of absence, I should be able to change my reputation!"

"Come on! Don't flatter yourself. You are just relying on your senior and the Central Academy of Drama!" Tian Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes. "Did you bring your campaign proposal? Show it to me!"

"I have brought it, please correct me if I am wrong!"

Zhen Jiecheng quickly opened his backpack and handed over the folder.

Then he skillfully began to make tea and pour water. Seeing Director Tian put on his glasses and picked up a cigarette, he also wanted to join in.

However, when he felt his pocket, he found that he didn't bring it, so he took the Huazi that Director Tian had placed on the desk.

It's quiet in the office.

The birdsong, ringing of bells, and laughter drifting in the wind outside the window are like the chirping of cicadas in the forest, making the silence even more immersive, creating an immersive atmosphere in the office.

Unfortunately, Zhen Jiecheng had nothing to do, so he simply rummaged through Director Tian's bookcase out of boredom, found a copy of "Contemporary" magazine and started reading until he heard Director Tian's voice calling him.

"Jiecheng, come here."

"Here we come, teacher."

Pick up a chair and sit next to Director Tian.

I saw him pointing at the text plan and the rough effect diagram of the shadow play. Then he elaborated on his ideas and thoughts one by one according to Director Tian's questions.

Director Tian looked very carefully and asked very careful questions.

Not only did he ask questions, he also gave suggestions, trying to sharpen Zhen Jiecheng's plan before the battle to make it more exciting.

Until the end, his expression turned serious and his demeanor changed.

His eyes were filled with anticipation, and Zhen Jiecheng could even see a hint of caution in them.

"Jie Cheng, can this drone ignition plan of 'Phoenix Returning to the Nest' really be realized?"

"It's hard to say!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "Look, here are the opinions I consulted with relevant professionals, and here are the records..."

"I've seen it all! Jiecheng!" Director Tian interrupted Zhen Jiecheng, "I know you dare to imagine boldly, but I also believe that you are not a person who shoots without purpose."

"Jie Cheng, tell me honestly! Is there any hope?"

"If we only consider special cases, there is hope!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded seriously.

"What are the hopes?"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng hesitated.

"I'm sorry, teacher! I can't give you an accurate answer."

"But I can tell you now that I have investigated some companies and teams that develop drones. After analysis and screening, I found a suitable target among them. Next, I will invest in this team and provide them with sufficient funds to invest in drone research and development!"

"But if you do that, won't you have to spend a lot of money?" Tian Zhuangzhuang actually wanted to say that it was the right thing to do. But people are selfish. If his students spend too much on official business, even if he doesn't explicitly say he doesn't support it, he will publicly express his disapproval.

"Teacher, how can this be considered a waste? Investment is a business activity. You may make a profit or you may lose money. Who can say for sure?"

"Oh! Have you really decided?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked again.

"There's nothing to hesitate about! It's already been decided!"

Hearing the voice, Tian Zhuangzhuang stood up, listened to his beloved disciple's resounding answer, and looked at his beloved disciple's sincere thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He patted his beloved disciple's shoulder vigorously.

"Jiecheng, you don't need any awards. You have made the teacher proud of you now!"

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something and his face darkened.

"Jie Cheng, if someone else gets the position of chief director in the future bidding, are you still willing to continue to participate in the Olympic project?"

"Of course!"

"Even if it's just to help?"

"Even if it's just to help!"

"Okay! Teacher got it! Go back and have a good rest for a few days before you start working on the post-production of Parasite. By the way, drive slowly on the road and be careful!"

"I know, teacher!"

Zhen Jiecheng left. Looking at Zhen Jiecheng's departing back, Tian Zhuangzhuang gritted his teeth and dialed the phone.

"I just looked at the campaign proposal my students brought in."

"Yes! It's Jiecheng!"

"Let me tell you! Although Jie Cheng is a little willful and a little carefree in his lifestyle, he is only 23 years old. Isn't this normal?"

"Yes! I admit that you are right. Some of Jiecheng's actions did have a bad influence, but I must emphasize one point: these things do not prevent Jiecheng from being a good student, a good director, and a patriotic young man!"

"Do you know what Jie Cheng just said to me? Do you know what Jie Cheng is going to pay next?"

Blah blah, a detailed explanation.

"I guarantee my reputation. What I just said is absolutely true! My students will also keep their word!"

After a pause,
"If Jiecheng continues to be treated unfairly in the future, I will continue to stand up and make a fuss, and make it even worse!"

"Jie Cheng is my student. I can't watch my favorite student suffer!"

"Not only will you not be able to stop me, you will also have to help me!"

"Otherwise, I would be sorry for Jiecheng's efforts, and even more sorry for his enthusiasm and pure heart!"

"Beep, beep, beep."

hang up the phone.

Next person!
Hang again, fight again, get to the next level!
Two, two, three, four, do it again.

until,

"Yimou, I'm Tian Zhuangzhuang."

"Jie Cheng just brought me his campaign proposal. I read it and found many of the ideas for the programs are very exciting!"

"I asked him too, and he said that even if he couldn't win the bid for the chief director, he would still be willing to help out. So you should take good care of Jiecheng when the time comes."

"You should know that Jiecheng majored in photography in college, and he is your direct junior fellow student."

Tian Zhuangzhuang expressed without reservation what he had heard based on his own judgment.

And the reaction of Zhang Yimou on the other end of the phone just confirmed that his judgment was correct.

As expected, the chief director of the 08 Olympics has basically been decided in advance!
So he added another sentence,
"Of course, I mean, I mean, on the premise that you succeed in your bid. After all, as it seems right now, you have the best chance!"

"By the way, Yimou, Jiecheng's Parasite will be participating in the Cannes Film Festival next year. When the time comes, can you please open your mouth and give your junior a helping hand?"

There is some unpleasantness between Zhang Yimou and the Cannes Film Festival.

But precisely because of this, if Zhang Yimou expresses his opinion, Cannes will definitely pay more attention and will definitely give Zhen Jiecheng a fairer selection environment!
In 99, "Not One Less" was questioned for promoting political policies. Zhang Yimou completely fell out with Cannes and sent an open letter of breakup to Jacob, the then president of the film festival.

But even so, Cannes still showed its enthusiasm for Zhang Yimou. From the jury members to contacting a number of big directors, they formed a group to lobby Zhang Yimou in various ways, trying to get him to return to Cannes.

In 04, "House of Flying Daggers" was shown in Cannes. But that was Zhang Weiping's doing, and had nothing to do with Zhang Yimou.

In his previous life, it was not until 14 that Zhang Yimou officially visited the Cannes Film Festival with his work.

Even though the art film "Coming Home" was participating in a non-screening unit, the Cannes organizers sent an extremely high-level reception.

A special car will pick you up at the airport, equipped with two bodyguards and several staff members to escort you throughout the journey.

The news headline at that time was: "Cannes: Even if you break up with me, I will send a car to pick you up."

This shows how great Zhang Yimou is in the field of art films!
But for Tian Zhuangzhuang, how could just having Lao Mouzi be enough?

"Yimou! I heard that Zhang Ziyi from the Central Academy of Drama will be a member of the jury for the main competition unit of Cannes next year."

"It's not appropriate for me to pass on a message to her. You are her mentor, can you help me?"

"Yi Mou! I heard that Hong Kong's director Wang Jiawei will be the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit next year."

"You helped him a lot when he attended Cannes, so why don't you help out and pass on the message?"

"Hahaha! Let's make it clear then. I'll treat you to a meal later!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

After thinking about it, I continued to call!

Chen Kaige, Cannes Palme d’Or director.

Wang Xiaoshuai just won the Jury Award.

Tu Juhua, Cannes Technical Award.

Beijing Film Academy has so many connections!
In addition, Jiang Wen won the Jury Prize, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, for "Devils on Doorstep". As Zhen Jiecheng's good brother, how could he not lend a hand?

There is also Li Pingbin, who won the technical award. As the photographer of "Parasite", how could he not contribute?
You won’t know if you don’t count them, but you will be shocked if you count them.

Tian Zhuangzhuang grinned with a wide smile on his face.

“Now we are just waiting for the final version of Parasite to be produced and see how good it is!”

"As long as the quality is up to standard, the advantage is mine!"
