You made me a superstar

Chapter 185 Contradictions!

Many directors are quite fond of smoking.

In a huge conference room.

There was a strong smell of smoke, which was quite difficult for Zhou Yang, who didn't like smoking.

However, the conference room as a whole is very harmonious, and many five-generation directors are talking about their plans for this year and next year.

Zhou Yilin held a cigarette in both hands, as if inadvertently leaked in the chat that his "Curse of the Golden Armor" had already sold the Mexican copyright when it was filmed, and Laomei was also very supportive of "Curse of the Golden Armor" I'm interested, I'm talking about scripts and copyright issues recently...

When many directors of the Fifth Generation heard this, they praised Zhou Yilin for a while.

In the waves of pursuit, Zhou Yilin sighed quietly again.

It is said that the domestic film environment is really bad, and the relevant departments of Huaxia Film have too little support for the film, and there is no way to nourish the blockbusters.

His words made all the directors of the fifth generation agree very much, especially a director named Cao Bangguo sighed, and even said that his films were not only lacking in support, they were simply indifferent, growing wildly, and even had some Looking at the initiator of this meeting, Zhang Jianguo, he said that Zhang Jianguo was too stingy, and criticized some of China's film systems for being imperfect...

Zhang Jianguo smiled all the time and nodded to their opinions.

In addition to these, Chen Kai, who was sitting at the main seat, chatted about some things in overseas film festivals.

Talking about how free and good Western movies are, how bad the film environment in China is, and even talking about Chinese movie fans and the media, they are all so fucking lacking in quality, which affects the incubation of blockbuster movies too much.

His words naturally aroused the approval of a group of people. Although last year's "Tianji" was really embarrassing, as one of the leading figures of the five generations of directors, Chen Kai has a certain weight both in the world and in China. In the film-related departments, there are also veterans.

Zhang Jianguo listened carefully and recorded every word of the director present.

Unable to hold back, Zhou Yang secretly opened a window, just in time for the fresh air to cover the choking smell of smoke.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Although I don't know what the relationship between the relevant departments of the world and the director is, but the status of the director in this world seems to be a bit high, and various opinions and criticisms of the relevant departments come and go.

Zhang Jianguo kept smiling.

After the group of grumbling directors finished speaking, he stood up and announced the official start of the meeting.

As the initiator of this meeting, Zhang Jianguo clicked on the slides on the stage, and in a very serious manner, he talked about a series of work arrangements for the end of this year and the first half of next year.

"Everyone, with the opening of the market and the integration of Chinese films with overseas markets, the local market will inevitably be impacted to a certain extent. We have invited you all over our busy schedules, just to discuss with you your thoughts on the future and the future. Next year's work schedule..."

Slideshows were spinning on a large screen in the distance.

Zhou Yang saw the data on the slide. At present, the box office market share of Huaxia movies and overseas movies is 60.00% to 40.00%. Overseas movies are [-]% and Huaxia is [-]%...

Compared with the same period last year, this data is still slightly better. At this time last year, the account split has become 30.00% in China and 70.00% in overseas.

Although the data looks better...

But in fact, Huaxia's overall movies have fallen into a state of malaise.

One "Hero" accounted for nearly half of the share, and the rest of the movies were like cannon fodder, with no one to beat?
"I don't know how the proportion will drop after the two movies "Superman" and "Jurassic" come to China. Everyone is the mainstay of Chinese movies. I hope everyone will actively chat about their opinions..." After Zhang Jianguo's voice fell, the directors continued to smoke and yelled.

Zhou Yang couldn't understand what they were talking about at first...

But then I listened, and I heard a director standing up: "Directors should hold a certificate to work. Not all cats and dogs can make movies. How many bad movies are made by these layman directors in the Chinese market this year? I said it last year, professional people do professional things, and people who don’t know anything can make a movie after a few months of study. Can this movie be made well? How many resources have been wasted by these people!”

Zhou Yang subconsciously looked at the name on the director's table. His name was Zhao Sicheng. He was very powerful in the millennium. The director still has the right to speak.

"Yes, here, I still want to say one thing. Not all young directors are worthy of being called the sixth-generation directors. I don't mean to look down on Ye Luzi. The name of the six generations of directors has rushed forward to be nominated? What are the contents of their films? They have no ideological connotation, and are full of ugliness. Helping people should be banned..." Another director also nodded.

"First, directors must hold a certificate to work. Second, I think we old people should set up an organization to strengthen the review of young directors' professionalism and prevent uneven films from appearing in the market. Third, we should recommend Those excellent, truly talented six-generation directors are systematically trained and supported. For example, Xiao Jiang next to me, he just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival in Tokyo a few days ago. He must, especially the official media, should give him support..." Director Cao Bangguo also nodded, stood up and said these words.

"I agree with what Director Cao and Director Zhao said, especially some films going to overseas exhibitions must be strictly reviewed and checked. Some films that exceed the subject matter should be banned or banned..." Zhou Yilin stood up and watched By Zhang Jianguo.

"I think the system should be more standardized and rationalized, so that the talented directors of the new generation will work harder to present their ideas, instead of blindly catering to overseas countries, and damage the international image of Chinese films in the form of slanting swords , This is actually very dangerous..." Another director stood up and said these words to Zhang Jianguo.

On the podium, Zhang Jianguo didn't respond when he heard this, but just wrote down their opinions with a smile.

..............................

The group of directors expressed their opinions, and they didn't talk about the next crisis of overseas films hitting the Chinese market. Instead, they talked about the establishment of the "China Film Review Association".

Zhou Yang suddenly felt that he and Feng Kai were marginal figures in this meeting.

Feng Kai clenched his fist several times and wanted to speak, but lowered his head again.

In the end, he said softly: "Do these people still think that they don't have enough power? If such an organization is really established, then the other six generations of directors of the new generation will be finished!"

Zhou Yang also nodded when he heard the words.

Originally, the rights of directors of the Five Dynasties were frighteningly large, controlling more than 30.00% of the discourse power of Huaxia films. If such a "Huaxia Film Review Association" was established again, wouldn't it be overwhelming?

Moreover, Zhou Yang discovered that among the six-generation directors, only himself and Feng Kai were not counted as their cliques, and the others belonged to their cliques, and there were many up-and-coming sixth-generation directors who did not participate in this meeting. Most of the directors are what they call "unlicensed directors".

I don't know how long it's been since I raised the messy opinions...

Zhang Jianguo suddenly looked at Zhou Yang: "Why don't we listen to the opinions of a few directors of the new generation, Director Zhou, tell me your views on the current form of Chinese movies?"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

The veteran directors of the fifth generation seem to have forgotten that among the new generation of directors, there is also a young man who made a big splash at the Berlin Film Festival.

only……

Their eyes were full of contempt. Many people didn't even look at Zhou Yang when they saw Zhou Yang standing up.

Zhou Yang stood up and looked at these veteran directors silently...

He was silent for a long time, and finally looked at An Xiao who was standing in the corner not far away.

When he saw An Xiao nodding slightly to him, his eyes full of encouragement, he was generally at the bottom of his mind.

The contradiction between the new generation of "Ye Luzi" directors and the older generation of directors has always been...

It's just that many new-generation directors were recruited by the older generation after they won honors, and followed their pace.

"I don't agree that directors need a director's certificate for filming..." Zhou Yang looked at everyone, and finally said this sentence, and then said: "I am a young man who has just joined the industry, and I don't understand the twists and turns in it. Yes, I only know that film review is the responsibility of the relevant departments. I personally agree with the film support plan, but I think the real definition and talent of the six generations of directors should be affirmed by the market, not by a few people. affim……"

When Zhou Yang said this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

In particular, some veteran directors were staring at Zhou Yang, which was blatantly demolishing them.

"More importantly, I can't represent the opinions of the six generations of directors in China, and everyone present can't represent the opinions of the six generations of directors. Many directors have not come here for some reasons. If possible, I hope to have a fair and just Vote to see what everyone thinks about this proposal..."

"I'm done with my thoughts."

"..."

After Zhou Yang finished speaking his thoughts, he nodded to Zhang Jianguo and sat down.

no applause...

There are only eyes full of warning.

"Director Zhou, so you are questioning the authority of us people?" At this moment, Zhao Sicheng stood up and stared at Zhou Yang coldly: "Director Zhou, do you know how your "Mine Bottom" came out? Did Berlin win the award? Do you really think that was a movie you made alone?"

"..."
