Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 136 Olympic Plan, Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

"Then what are you doing holding my skirt?"

"Ah... Mistake, mistake."

Now Chen Cheng didn’t even feel the taste of eating skewers was delicious anymore.

"Well, Junior Sister, I didn't see it clearly just now, can you do it again?"

"No."

"Your way of wearing black stockings is not professional. Who wears black stockings and such a long skirt?"

“I’m not doing this for others to see.”

"Since it's not for others to see, shouldn't I take a good look at it?"

"Maybe later."

"..."

talking.

Liu Yifei chuckled and stood up: "Junior brother, I am very happy today, I am leaving now."

"Ah, where are you going?"

"Back to the hotel."

"I send you."

"no need."

"There are a lot of hooligans out there, and I'm worried."

"I'll be even more worried if you send me off now."

"Pfft..."

Chen Cheng burst into tears: "Do I look so bad?"

"Goodbye."

He waved his hand.

Liu Yifei pressed his chest.

Just now, I used up all my courage.

……

"Chen Cheng, are you still in BJ?"

"Yes, Director Zhang, what's up?"

"The idea you sent me before is very good. The Olympic Committee hopes that we can go there and make a second round of presentations. Do you have time to go with me?"

"Director Zhang, how long will it take?"

"Don't worry, this trip won't take long. The whole trip will only take three days. However, the itinerary is kept confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside world."

"Okay, I have time recently."

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng agreed.

……

The next day.

Zhang Yi came to Beijing Film Academy in person to pick up Chen Cheng, and then went to the office of the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Even though it's an office.

But Chen Cheng and Zhang Yi also spent a lot of time along the way.

It’s not that the journey is far.

Mainly because there are checkpoints along the way.

Only after being released layer by layer did it reach its destination.

"Chen Cheng, you may be a little uncomfortable."

After getting off the car, Zhang Yi said in a low voice: "I also didn't get used to it when I first came here. Let's go, some old friends are waiting for you."

Following Zhang Yi, Chen Cheng met several old acquaintances.

One is Huo Tingxiao.

One is Cheng Xiaodong.

Another one is producer Zhang Yanzhang.

Saw Chen Cheng coming.

Huo Tingxiao said, "Director Zhang, I knew you would definitely pull Chen Cheng over."

Zhang Yan had worked closely with Chen Cheng before, and he opened his arms and hugged Chen Cheng.

Cheng Xiaodong smiled and said, "Director Chen, nice to see you again."

"They are all old acquaintances."

Chen Cheng also became more friendly when he saw everyone.

Of course this is normal.

It is not easy to organize such a large-scale opening ceremony.

natural.

Zhang Yimou will choose the team he knows best.

Huo Tingxiao and Producer Zhang, one is an artist and the other is in charge of personnel scheduling and management...can help Zhang Yi solve big problems.

Cheng Xiaodong is a martial arts instructor and can give Zhang Yi more advice on artistic movements.

"Let's have a meeting."

After a few polite words were exchanged, Zhang Yi called a meeting together.

"This is the second round of presentations by the Olympic Committee, and our opponents are still very strong. However, I have received some news. The Olympic Committee is very interested in our second round of ideas, so, Chen Cheng, I hope you can help our team present them to the Olympic Committee."

"I'm OK."

Chen Cheng nodded, but still said: "But I don't have much time to prepare, I don't know if I can meet the requirements of the Olympic Committee."

"That's okay. Our entire team will focus on your idea in a moment. Please tell us more about it."

Half an hour later.

Chen Cheng called Huo Tingxiao... and some other members of the team over.

"I will first share my ideas with you, and then you can draw out my ideas in order, and then make them into a PPT."

Because it’s a plan.

The plan cannot become reality directly.

The best way to let the Olympic Committee see your results is to paint.

Through painting, we let the Olympic Committee understand what kind of creativity this is and what effects it will have.

……

The next day.

The Olympic Committee invited Zhang Yi, Chen Cheng and others to a hall.

In the hall, there were many people sitting in several teams.

If you look closely, they are all big names in the circle.

Such as director Chen Kaige.

He sits on the right side with his team.

Director Gu Changwei, who studied photography like Zhang Yi, sits on the left.

There is also director Tian Zhuangzhuang, Feng Xiaogang, and Tsui Hark from Hong Kong.

Meet Chen Cheng.

Tsui Hark waved his hand as a greeting.

Feng Xiaogang and Chen Cheng did not speak to each other because they had conflicts.

Although Brother Chen Kai and Brother Gu Changwei were also from Beijing Film Academy, Chen Cheng was not familiar with them and just nodded.

Zhang Yi sat down according to the seat designation that had been placed, and Chen Cheng and others sat behind Zhang Yi.

About ten minutes later, the Olympic Committee announced the official start of the second round of exhibitions.

Ranked first is Gu Changwei.

Gu Changwei is an excellent photographer. Red Sorghum and Farewell My Concubine were both photographed by him.

In 96, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Photography.

Last year, he shot "The Peacock", which won the Berlin Film Festival Jury Prize. Gu Changwei personally took part in the performance.

Gu Changwei's design concept for the 08 Olympic Games is modern China.

This concept is quite interesting.

For many foreigners, China is one way or another, and many people don't know it.

Even if some people know about it, they only have a little understanding through the media there.

But much of what these media report is not the real China.

Not only is it not a real China, it is even a backward China.

But China is no longer what it used to be.

Gu Changwei spoke eloquently for more than an hour, and everyone nodded from time to time.

The second is Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark is the only Hong Kong director here.

Tsui Hark, like his movies, has a strong chivalrous flavor.

The same is true for this year's Olympic concept.

In Tsui Hark's presentation, he regards China as the country's hero, fully displaying the style of a Chinese hero.

The third one is Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is a graduate student supervisor at Beijing Film Academy.

of course.

Like Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, etc., he was also rated as the fifth generation director in China by the media.

He created many works in his early years, which had a wide influence.

After 02, he returned to Beijing Film Academy to teach.

But even though he is teaching, Tian Zhuangzhuang still publishes many works from time to time.

In addition, Tian Zhuangzhuang is considered a representative figure of the academic school, and his superiors attach great importance to him.

The fourth is Brother Chen Kai.

According to Director Zhang, Brother Chen Kai is his biggest competitor.

In fact it is.

Brother Chen Kai, who has the same extensive research in aesthetics as Zhang Yi, had a proposal that was so beautiful that everyone applauded.

Fifth: Feng Xiaogang.

Ok.

Feng Xiaogang doesn't have many characteristics.

At least that’s what Chen Cheng thought.

I don’t know whether Feng Xiaogang was not well prepared or he had to shoot “Assembly”, but Chen Cheng felt that Feng Xiaogang came here on short notice.

The sixth is Zhang Yi.

But what surprised everyone was.

Originally, Zhang Yi was supposed to be the sixth player, but the person who played was not Zhang Yi, but Chen Cheng.

This was something Zhang Yi had planned in advance.

It’s not that Zhang Yi wants to support Chen Cheng.

It’s not that Zhang Yi doesn’t want to go on stage.

Actually it is.

Zhang Yi believes that Chen Cheng can better show everyone their creativity this time.

"Hello, members of the Olympic Committee, Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Gu, Director Chen, and Director Feng. My name is Chen Cheng, and I am from Director Zhang Yi's team. The name of our second round of proposal is Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization."

"This topic is a bit broad, and some people may say it is a bit vulgar. After all, when we talk about China, we must mention the 5,000-year history of China. However, although it is vulgar, for the whole world, they may have heard of it for the first time. The Olympics in two years will not only be an Olympics, but also a feast for the world to understand China, appreciate China, and want to come to China. Therefore, our theme this time is the 5,000-year history of China."

"So, how do we present to everyone this 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization that everyone may think is a bit vulgar? My plan is this..."

Although Chen Cheng is the youngest here.

Although here, Chen Cheng has the lowest qualifications.

But Chen Cheng stood on the podium, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke eloquently.

"Let's look at the big screen..."

Chen Cheng asked everyone to focus their attention on the big screen.

A loud shout of "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar..." shocked everyone instantly.

Followed by.

A huge scroll appeared above the screen and slowly unfolded, revealing a splendid civilization of more than five thousand years.

More than an hour later.

The members of the Olympic Committee led the applause.

Several other directors in the audience also applauded and cheered for Chen Cheng's creativity and plans.

Although we are competitors, we also respect each other.

"Everyone, everyone's plans have just been presented. As for the results, we still have to hold a meeting to discuss them before we can announce them."

"Everyone can take a rest here first..."

Five members of the Olympic Committee left first.

……

Director Tian Chuangchuang looked at Chen Cheng and said, "Chen Cheng, why don't you help your teacher but help an outsider?"

Obviously.

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, Chen Cheng, you are a student of Beijing Film Academy, you should help me, your teacher.

Before Zhang Yimou could respond, Chen Kai said, "Exactly. Why don't you join someone else's team? Join Lao Mouzi's team. He's such a good filmmaker, he should just make good films."

This made everyone laugh.

Gu Changwei also said: "Come to think of it, I should have gone to see you, Junior Brother Chen Cheng, earlier."

Zhang Yi knew that if he didn't say anything, Chen Cheng would be snatched away: "Hey guys, is it really okay for you to snatch someone away in front of me? Besides, I'm an outsider, I'm also from Beijing Film Academy."

Tian Zhuangzhuang was angry: "I am the dean of the Beijing Film Academy. I will fire you."

Xu Ke on the side smiled bitterly and said in his not-so-fluent Mandarin: "You are all from Beijing Film Academy, it seems that I am an outsider."

Feng Xiaogang also interjected: "Director Xu, you are not the only outsider here, there is also me."

This is of course a joke.

It is impossible for the Olympic Committee to give the opening ceremony design to Norinco just because it owns Norinco's film.

The next day, the IOC contacted each team individually.

On the third day, Chen Cheng, Zhang Yi and others left the Olympic Organizing Committee.

……

"Director Zhang, is the second round the final round?"

“I don’t know, but if the second round is confirmed, I guess there will be less competition later.”

“When will the results be announced?”

"I don't know, but it shouldn't take too long. After all, there are only two years until the opening of the Olympics, which is neither long nor short. No matter whose plan is adopted, it is not as simple as described in the PPT. They are also in a hurry."

"Too."

on the way back.

Everyone was chatting, but Zhang Yi was a little excited: "Chen Cheng, if the second round is confirmed this time, you will be our great hero."

Chen Cheng asked, "Director Zhang, the Olympic Committee will not tell you separately, right?"

"How can it be."

Zhang Yi shook her head: "I also wanted them to tell me individually, but as you can see, everyone here is a big director, they can't favor anyone. However, when you were explaining, I felt that several members of the Olympic Committee were in high spirits."

"There's a show."

Huo Tingxiao said.

Cheng Xiaodong also said, "There's hope."

Zhang Yan said, "There's hope."

Chen Cheng followed up and said, "There's hope."

Zhang Yi clenched his fists and said, "Yes, there is hope."
