This director is vindictive.

Chapter 64 Director Chen, a great director must have the vision of a great director

For some reason, Chen Mo suddenly changed his opinion of the great poet Chen.

I think it’s quite cute!
Although he was a little arrogant, to be honest, Chen Mo did gain a lot from what Lao Chen said.

"Xiao Chen, why don't you give it to me? You are still too young and you can take more steady steps." Poet Chen said suddenly in a gentle voice.

"Director Chen, you are a big director, so you naturally have no shortage of good projects. I am different. I am young, and it is not easy for me to find good projects. Please don't compete with a young person like me for such projects." Chen Mo didn't buy it.

Old Chen felt a little numb.

He almost wanted to slap himself. Why did he say so much? Now he was fooled by this kid.

I told him my ideas, and he could use them directly.

However, he was not really angry, just a little dissatisfied.

"I say, kid, can't you have a little sense of public morality and respect the elderly and love the young? Do you understand? I haven't even told you about the last time you tried to scam me." Poet Chen said with dissatisfaction, glaring at me.

"Then I don't blame you for saying I'm just a nobody!" Chen Mo directly retorted.

"Hey, who did I know about you at that time? You were just a nobody. Besides, didn't my words give a lot of publicity to your movie?" Poet Chen said unhappily.

"So, I thank you, sir. Thank you!" Chen Mo bowed his hands as if to express his gratitude.

"Then I should thank you for your thanks? You kid, you're so full of yourself!" Poet Chen was also amused by Chen Mo's funny look.

"To be honest, Director Chen, I really think that with your status and position, you don't need to make such a small-scale film. Who are you? You are a great director who can make a work like "Farewell My Concubine" that is listed among the classics in film history. You are the only great director in China who has won the Palme d'Or." Chen Mo began to promote himself.

The great poet Chen was certainly not stupid, but it was still a wonderful feeling to be praised by others. So even though he knew that the boy in front of him was very cunning, he still felt quite comfortable listening to him.

Of course, it was Chen Mo's attitude just now. He didn't take the big director seriously at all. Instead, he argued with him. So his flattery seemed to be full of sincerity.

What Chen Mo said was indeed nine out of ten true.

Honestly, does the great poet Chen have the ability? Of course he does.

Although he has been criticized by many people, who say that he can make a living from "Farewell My Concubine", this statement is indeed biased.

Although he never made another classic comparable to "Farewell My Concubine", it would be an exaggeration to say that all the films he made were bad and had no redeeming qualities.

For example, the first half of "The Orphan of Zhao" was actually quite good, but the ending was a bit bad.

"If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. You are suddenly praising me like this. Tell me, what are you thinking?" Although the great poet Chen was a little flattered by Chen Mo's flattery, he was not so easily fooled.

Of course, it can be seen from the expression on his face that Chen Mo's flattery really made him very happy.

"Really not, I'm telling the truth, Director Chen, you're talking about Zhang Yimou, you may not like what I'm saying, but he is indeed more famous than you now." Chen Mo said while secretly glancing at poet Chen.

As expected, when Lao Mouzi was mentioned, poet Chen's face trembled.

The expression he looked at Chen Mo also became a little unfriendly.

"Director Chen, look, you've already won plenty of awards. And look at Zhang Yimou. Why is he truly more famous than you, Director Chen?" Chen Mo continued to goad the poet. There was no way around it. The great poet Chen had two major strengths, one of which was "A Bun Causes a Murder," which allowed him to break through the barriers for the first time.

Another one is Zhang Yimou, who used to be just a photographer for him, but later surpassed him, which made the proud poet Chen feel resentful all the time!
Chen Mo was talking about something that was not related to the topic. When the poet Chen heard this, he almost vomited blood.

But he still held back, but the look he gave Chen Mo became extremely sharp.

"What do you think it is?" Poet Chen wanted to eat Chen Mo. He thought this young man was pretty good before, but why did he have such a stinky mouth?

He wanted to hear what Chen Mo, a director of the younger generation, thought.

"The opening ceremony of the Olympics!" Chen Mo said!
To be honest, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games can indeed be said to have become Zhang Yimou's greatest confidence.

He is really awesome!

In comparison, the great poet Chen is in an awkward position. After all, it was Zhang Yimou who made a brilliant plan that conquered the organizing committee. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics were all from Zhang Yimou's team. He did not disappoint the people of the whole country and presented us with a visual feast with a strong Chinese style and excellent stage effects.

And this poet Chen actually recited a few lines of poetry. How do you think he got the title of great poet Chen?

When mentioning the opening ceremony of the Olympics, poet Chen's face turned blue and purple.

This is also the pain he never wants to mention!

You know, when the director of the opening ceremony was selected, he was one of the several directors running for the position.

He was also in high spirits at that time, and recited a poem by Du Fu "Hearing that the Government Troops Have Recovered Henan and Hebei" in front of all the experts: "Suddenly, news came from outside the sword that Jibei had been recaptured. When I first heard it, my clothes were soaked with tears. But I looked at my wife and saw that she was worried. I rolled up my book of poetry and was so happy that I almost went crazy." He originally wanted to recite the poem to express his feelings.

But he was eliminated in the first round. The reason was very simple. The organizing committee said that they wanted a specific creative plan, not a poet.

So it was very embarrassing!
If we say that Zhang Yimou completely distanced himself from the great poet Chen and was far ahead, it really started from that time!

"And then? What exactly do you want to say?" Poet Chen was on the verge of exploding.

"Director Chen, think about it, with your status and position, why shoot Hamlet or some fantasy epic? No matter how well it is shot, can it compare to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? I think, what kind of movie should you shoot most? It must be a main theme blockbuster!" Chen Mo said.

"Main theme blockbuster?" Poet Chen suddenly realized something.

Everyone was stunned.

"A mainstream blockbuster?"

"Yeah, think about it, what are you trying to achieve by making movies now? I think a great director should have the status of a great director. What status? A great director should make a big production, and it should be a big production that has never been seen before.

Main-theme blockbusters are the best solution! " Seeing that poet Chen was persuaded, Chen Mo couldn't help but continue to increase his investment.

Well, he simply felt that among all the movies that Lao Chen had made in his previous life, the one that could really receive good reviews was the main-theme tribute film.

For this kind of movie, it can be said that these great directors definitely have unique conditions. After all, even if Chen Mo wanted to shoot it, he didn't have the conditions!
"What you said does make some sense, but I feel like you have bad intentions. Okay, tell me, what are you trying to achieve by saying so much? Don't tell me you don't want anything." The great poet Chen really thought that Chen Mo's suggestion was very good, and he was indeed tempted. However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that Chen Mo's interruption really gave up the idea of ​​​​grabbing the adaptation rights of the novel "The Lost Internet".

So, for a while, his emotions stabilized a lot, and his IQ returned to a high level. He always felt that Chen Mo had other intentions.
