Chapter 137 Chen Kaige: Young people should not be too impulsive!

Since it is also a national task, the crew of "My Motherland and I" also holds meetings frequently.

However, the preparation issues of regular film and television dramas can be decided internally by the crew, but now they have to hold meetings to make reports.

At the same time, if you have any difficulties, please raise them and we will solve them.

Producer Huang Jianxin said: "We selected seven directors based on their reputation within the industry, artistic accomplishments, box office performance, and the influence of their previous films."

"The seven directors finally selected range from those born in the 50s to the 80s, including female directors. They represent different eras and styles."

"In order to maintain the independent style of each director, I suggest setting up seven separate film crews instead of rotating two."

"So the implementation plan is for chief director Chen Kaige to also serve as director of 'Daytime Meteor'."

"Director Zhang Yibai directed 'Encounter.'"

"Director Ning Hao directed 'Hello Beijing'."

"Director Guan Hu is directing 'The Eve'."

"Director Xu Zheng directed 'Win the Championship.'"

"Director Xue Xiaolu directs 'Return'."

"Director Wen Muye directed 'Convoy'..."

The directors who were named stood up and gestured, and the leaders who were listening to the report nodded repeatedly. They found that these directors were indeed good and had great artistic attainments.

After that came the actual filming tasks, which was the part that Chen Kaige was responsible for. He said: "At present, the actors have been found almost completely. Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Wu Jing, Ge You, Song Jia, etc. There are very outstanding young and middle-aged actors, and they are also very politically conscious."

"But younger actors aren't as politically conscious, especially the 'beat generation'. I think we need to strengthen the spiritual civilization of the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry can't just focus on money..."

Chen Kaige said a lot of things with great righteousness. No matter whether he believed it or not, his purpose in the end was to introduce an example.

And he can't talk about this himself, but has to ask his leader.

"What's the matter? Did you encounter any problems when looking for young actors? Do you want to find a typical example?"

At this time, Chen Kaige said, "It's not typical. It's just that young actors generally have low political awareness and are temporarily blinded by fame and money. For example, Wu Fanzhu, who is awaiting trial, and Lu Yun, who was invited to film this time, directly refused..."

"and many more!"

A leader interrupted him and asked, "Are you talking about Lu Yun? Lu Yun, the male lead in the hit TV series 'The Wandering Earth'?"

Chen Kaige was stunned for a moment when his speech was interrupted, and then his mind raced, quickly recalling whether there was any special news about Lu Yun in the entertainment industry recently.

When he found out there was no special news, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's him. He refused to cooperate with the national filming mission and claimed that he was busy."

I don’t say how capable the leaders in charge of cultural work are, but they have one characteristic, which is that they don’t stay in the entertainment industry 24 hours a day, but also pay attention to news in other areas.

So someone asked, "I think Comrade Lu Yun usually behaves well. Is there some communication problem? And recently, "The Wandering Earth" will be released in North America, which is a cultural export mission. Is he going to North America with Director Guo Fan for the roadshow?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaige immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew about this matter because it was also a matter of the entertainment industry.

"No, Rowoon didn't go to North America. He only has one variety show that started in March, but that show only filmed for two or three days in half a month..."

After Chen Kaige said this, the leaders also frowned, but they also knew that Lu Yun was not just a person in the entertainment industry, so it would be better to investigate before drawing any conclusions, so they just made a note of the matter.

If it is fake, then there is naturally nothing wrong, but if it is true, then it will be included in the official blacklist of various major activities.

Chen Kaige also thought so. Although it was not dealt with immediately, as long as it was "registered" with the official, Lu Yun would be in trouble.

The relationship between the entertainment industry and national management departments is not equal. Once you get a good reputation with the leaders, good things will come to you, and you will definitely be close to ascending to heaven. But if it goes badly, then wait for the thunder from the sky!
Obviously, this time it must be a bad thing!

Chen Kaige is a very typical "feudal patriarch". All his actions are to ensure his authority in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, he would not have created the famous scene of "Arthur, please sit down" in his own home.

That is, on the one hand, they call their son by his English name "Arthur" to show their Western temperament, while on the other hand, the couple speaks eloquently about the so-called "traditional Chinese connotations."

She talked about "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and modesty" and asked her son to sit down, but there was no seat available, so she made her son kneel on one knee and accept the food from his mother.

So after confirming the leader's attitude, Chen Kaige immediately began to preach in the name of promoting "My Motherland and Me", and soon appeared on many entertainment media and marketing accounts.

[Five pieces of advice from Chen Kaige, the director of "My People, My Country," for young actors.]

Chen Kaige encourages young actors to learn more, saying having a diploma doesn't guarantee cultural literacy.

[Famous director Chen Kaige: Young people shouldn't be too impulsive!]

[Chen Kaige: High box office isn't the only indicator; we must also pay attention to the artistic connotation...]

Many people thought this was a promotion for a new movie, but after clicking in and reading the detailed news, they found something was wrong.

Why do I feel like this is referring to "The Wandering Earth," saying its content lacks artistic content, and that its high box office is a tragedy for the film and television industry?

"No way, Chen Kaige said something like that too? I thought only Ai Dajin would say that."

[Not only that, I see that they're also mentioning Lu Yun, after all, he's the male lead in "The Wandering Earth."]

[This isn't right. Rowoon isn't well educated? What about those illiterate celebrities?]

This isn't surprising. It's not unusual for veterans in the film and television industry to look down on the younger generation. With "The Wandering Earth" being so popular, have you seen the film and television industry celebrating with revelry? Don't you see that?

[Indeed, seeing the audience happy, it seems the film and television industry is relatively quiet...]

Lu Yun knew that no matter how well-spoken Liu Chun's reply was, refusing the invitation would definitely offend Chen Kaige.

But he didn't care. He was offended. Could Chen Kaige still ban him?
Rooyun is not just a star, so he doesn't need to rely on those so-called big directors for his livelihood. Their likes and dislikes are of no use to him.

And based on his relationship with Wu Jing and Guo Fan, how could he be short of roles to play?
He can even film himself!
It should be said that if you stay away from those so-called great directors, you can immediately block out 90% of the bad movies!
So when Lu Yun saw these comments, he laughed.

"These old guys from the feudal guilds are really interesting. They're just full of self-awareness..."

"Lu Yun, what are you laughing at? Come and take a photo."

"coming!"

"Come on, you're the chief designer, stand in the middle..."

In front of the big screen with the words "Long March 10 Rocket Project Launched", Lu Yun took a group photo with many aerospace giants.

Of course, Lu Yun is also the boss this time because he stands in the middle.

In accordance with the agreed principle of keeping a low profile, the Long March 10 rocket project was launched without much fanfare. It was only announced on the official aerospace account in accordance with procedures, and the focus was even on the data introduction of the Long March 10 basic rocket and the heavy-duty rocket.

There is also a group photo and a model picture.

But unlike previous news that was only watched by space enthusiasts, this time the big star Lu Yun is there.

"Sisters, look what I found!"
