Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 17 017 [Uncle San, when will you become a mountain eagle in the Central Film Academy? ]

Han Sanping has been committed to reform since he became deputy director of Emei Film Studio in 1984, but due to his position and age, he has never had a good opportunity.

This time, the film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" shot by Li Jian's son Li Yishu brought Han Sanping hope to reform the film studio.

Today, more than 80% of the employees in the studio are over 40 years old. Although this age is considered to be in the prime of life, film creation is like literary creation. The younger the people, the more ideas they have, and the works they create are often eye-catching.

Instead of being like old veterans like Mr. Wang, who just occupy their positions with their past achievements and do nothing. It would be fine if it were just like that, at most they would just ignore it, but they habitually suppress young people.

Just like the movie shot by Li Yishu this time, Han Sanping thinks it is very good. Deputy Director Chen agreed to help register for the Venice International Film Festival in the name of Emei Film Studio. Not only is there no harm, but there are many benefits.

First of all, it is a great investment to attract other young filmmakers in China. They will feel that Emei Studio is not limited to recruiting talents and can even provide help to a 21-year-old young man who just graduated, not to mention those filmmakers who think they are not appreciated for their talents.

Secondly, regardless of whether or not we win the award, we are just registering in the name of the production studio and there is no financial loss.

As for the possible impact on the reputation of Emei Film Studio, this is simply a paradox. Emei Film Studio itself has no reputation abroad. The only two that have some fame in Europe are Yanjing Film Studio and Xi'an Film Studio.

"Deputy Director Han's idea is good, but we have to know that young people lack experience, and filming a movie itself is a job that requires experience..."

Seeing that Han Sanping talked about supporting young people, Mr. Wang naturally couldn't refute him, otherwise others would think that he was deliberately suppressing young people. So he simply denied Han Sanping's proposal to make film work younger, citing the young people's lack of experience.

Han Sanping frowned and subconsciously looked at the director. This kind of thing could only be decided by the director. Emei Film Studio had three deputy directors in charge of three different departments, and he was in charge of the creative studio and the audio-visual department.

They are all unimportant departments.

"Deputy Director Han's suggestion is very good, and what Mr. Wang said is also reasonable. Our factory is a little short of young people now, so I will see if I can get a few more staff quotas in the second half of the year so that I can recruit some outstanding young people. Then, we can hand them over to the senior predecessors in various departments to guide the new ones."

The factory director gave each of them fifty lashes of the cane, which both agreed with Han Sanping's suggestion and saved Mr. Wang's face.

"I have no problem with that. Only when the old can the new be taught can the torch be passed on. Young people lack experience and knowledge, so we old guys should work hard and teach the young people. After all, we are the seniors."

Mr. Wang was naturally very satisfied with this. With a few more employee vacancies, he could easily recommend the younger generations in his family to come in.

Han Sanping also forced a smile and agreed to the director's plan. In fact, he hoped to let young people create on their own, from script to filming, everything should be decided by young people. In this way, the thoughts of contemporary young people can be filmed, rather than a self-righteous film by a bunch of old guys.

But having said that, Li Yishu is a really good young man. It seems that we need to communicate with this kid from the Li family and see if we can recruit him to work at Emei Factory after he graduates from university.

After the meeting, Han Sanping approached Li Jian and asked to get to know Li Yishu.

Li Jian naturally agreed to this. He had always wanted to get his son to work in the film studio after he graduated from college.

By the afternoon.

Li Yishu followed Li Jian to the studio and asked, "Dad, what does this Deputy Director Han want to see me for?"

"Maybe he's optimistic about you."

Li Jian must know more about what’s going on in the factory than his son, and what happened in the meeting room had already spread.

Li Jian did not expect that Deputy Director Han, with whom he had little contact, was so optimistic about his son. However, he thought about it carefully later and felt that it might be a coincidence.

Deputy Director Han has always hoped that the studio would reform and employ more young employees, but a state-owned unit like a studio needs to have a lot of experience and connections. If Li Yishu was not the son of Li Jian and Zhao Xue, he probably would not have received support from the studio, let alone being able to sign up for foreign film exhibitions under the name of Emei Studio.

Soon they arrived at the bottom of the office building. Li Jian pointed to the second floor and said, "It's the third office on the second floor. You can go up by yourself. I don't have much friendship with Deputy Director Han, so I won't go in to join in the fun."

Li Yishu nodded. He knew that his father had a good relationship with Deputy Director Chen and it was not the right thing for him to change jobs.

soon.

Going up to the third room on the second floor, Li Yishu knocked on the door.

"Come in."

He pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw the person sitting inside, he was shocked.

Master Han Sanye, the mountain eagle!

Yes, Li Yishu just remembered that Mr. Han Sanye, who was later known as the chief eagle of China Film Group, did work at Emei Film Studio before.

However, Li Yishu was still studying at that time, and he had never met her until she was transferred to Yanjing Film Studio as the director. It was not until he went north to Yanjing to seek opportunities that he met her at a film industry conference.

"Director Han!"

"Student Li Yishu, you are here. Please take a seat."

Although Han Sanping had never seen Li Yishu, he was the male lead of "That Mountain", so he naturally recognized him at a glance.

"Thank you three..."

He almost blurted out the name "Third Master", but fortunately Li Yishu managed to hold it back: "Thank you, Director Han."

"Three what?" Han Sanping has good hearing and said with a smile.

Li Yishu scratched his head, pretending to be young and embarrassed: "My dad said that I am not an employee of the factory, so there is no need to call you Director. He told me to call you Third Uncle."

"Ha ha--"

Han Sanping said cheerfully, "Your father is right, Yishu, you are not an employee of our factory, so it's okay to call me Third Uncle. Call me Third Uncle whenever you see me in the future."

Looking at the enthusiastic Han Sanping, many ideas popped into Li Yishu's mind. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to successfully establish a relationship with the other party.

Once the restrictions on private films are lifted in the country, with Han Sanping's support, many problems can be easily solved.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

Li Yishu really wanted to imitate the beggar in "Huo Yuanjia" and say: Third Uncle, when will you become the top eagle in the Central Film Academy?
