I have to teach the world a lesson

Chinese directors are divided into several eras.

Every era has its own characteristics.

For example, the first generation of directors...

That was from the early 1920s to the late 1920s. The entire Chinese society was in turmoil, and feudalism and progress were intertwined. Many people were not satisfied with writing and drama performances to render art, and began to pursue another form called "movies."

That group of directors were considered the founders. Most of the films they made were silent films, satirizing feudalism and social reality...

for example……

The fourth generation of directors…

Basically, they were all graduates of the BJ Film Academy in the 1960s. Most of the films they made "threw away the crutch of drama" and pursued a simple and natural style and open structure. The countryside gradually became the central theme of their works...

For example, there are the fifth generation directors who are still active in the film industry and have a high status.

They have experienced some changes in China's times, and have endured a lot of hardships. They have been sent to the countryside as educated youths, and some even rely on selling blood to maintain their film art.

Because of suffering, most of the things photographed have some social ambiguity, but the metaphors are more subtle, and the content of the expressions has begun to combine Chinese and Western elements.

but……

The sixth generation of directors in this world saw the invasion of European and American culture, and then, under the influence of European and American culture, many of them became underground directors who made films that "satirized China and revealed its scars"...

……………………

Marshal Zheng does have a sense of arrogance in his bones.

Arrogance comes from inheritance.

Yes!

Every generation of directors has a legacy.

Although it is not explicit, it is an unwritten rule in the Chinese film industry.

This kind of rule, in a sense, forms many circles.

For example, Beijing Circle, Northwest Circle, Hong Kong Circle...

In the circle, many resources are shared. Once some people enter the circle, their own path will be arranged.

When a generation of directors retire, they will not retire from the industry, but will retreat behind the scenes to pass on their resources and connections.

Shaoshuai Zheng is a member of the Beijing circle. From the time he made his first movie, he controlled resources that countless others could only dream of. Then, with the nurturing of these resources, he stood in Berlin at the beginning of the millennium. On the podium, I received a best debut award.

This is the award that Bi Feiyu received when he was in Berlin. He had received it ten years ago.

Every movie he has made, although many of them have not been released on the market, have a very high reputation in the Chinese film circle. In addition to the three major European film festivals, other awards have been received...

The long-established director looked at Bi Feiyu, a rising star.

Of course he looked down upon it.

Although he graduated from Yanying.

But he does not have the inheritance of the fifth generation of directors, and he has no foundation. He has not even released a real movie in China...

"Director Zheng, I was really looking forward to the cooperation between you and Zhang Sheng..."

Before the red carpet.

Li Yanhong looked at the back of Zhang Sheng leaving with a smile, and felt an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart.

She looked at Marshal Zheng with an extremely embarrassed look on her face and some complaints in her words.

But Marshal Zheng shook his head calmly: "I have heard of Zhang Sheng's name, but I don't think he and I can have any cooperation..."

"But at least don't become a rival... It's unwise to set up a rival for no reason..." Li Yanhong frowned.

"I won't force myself to follow the trend, even if the supervisors come over, I will do the same... They have too much commercialism in them, and it's too annoying."

"Zhang Sheng is talented..."

"..."

Marshal Zheng glanced at Li Yanhong and stopped talking.

Although Li Yanhong is a middle-level member of [Shengshi Entertainment], she is officially part of the [Shengshi Entertainment] film industry and one of the managers of the [Shengshi Entertainment] system.

But in the eyes of Marshal Zheng, she is more like a companion or a follower.

Especially when he saw her nodding and bowing in front of his teacher, his disdain became even stronger.

Zhang Sheng?

They are just small capitalists who have just emerged and made some achievements.

There are countless capitalists of this size in China. Even if he knew that Zhang Sheng had climbed up from the bottom step by step and had certain abilities, Marshal Zheng was still indifferent.

After ordinary capital reaches a certain level, his size and actual promotion path have been determined.

So far, there are only a handful of people with big capital who have really risen from the bottom to become the right to speak.

Precisely because he knew certain rules in this world and the circle behind him allowed him to do things according to his own preferences, he was too lazy to waste time on Zhang Sheng.

As for talent?

He has not watched "Seven Days to Die".

Even after watching it, he still feels that "Seven Days to Die" is a commercial movie that uses backdoors and focuses on marketing...

What else is there?

……………………

"Director Zheng has this temper, Mr. Zhang, this matter is my fault. I apologize for Director Zheng and also for my wishful thinking..."

Before the red carpet.

Li Yanhong met Zhang Sheng.

His words were sincere and his eyes were sincere.

The more information she knew about Zhang Sheng, the less Li Yanhong dared to underestimate Zhang Sheng.

The real capital promotion channel may be monopolized by a force. Very few people can truly break through this monopoly, but...

She saw a possibility in Zhang Sheng!

She used to be arrogant towards Zhang Sheng, but now, she can no longer see it in her.

Zhang Sheng nodded with a smile.

Listening to a series of words about cooperation that Li Yanhong told herself.

Li Yanhong still hopes to have cooperation with her, not only in movies, but also with artists, managers, and even brands.

She has climbed from the bottom to the present, and she seems to know very well that seizing some opportunities is to seize the slightest chance of climbing up.

Bi Feiyu next to him kept staring at Marshal Zheng.

Marshal Zheng was being held by the popular actress Zhou Bingqian's arm as he walked up the red carpet step by step.

His eyes were looking up from beginning to end, and he was smiling, as if he had a "strong character" and a sense of pride in his bones.

Vaguely, everything is his foil.

He was naturally popular. Countless reporters from China surrounded him and interviewed him, vaguely trying to please him.

From the turn of the millennium to the present, he has been to Cannes four times and has three films shortlisted for Cannes. This is among the six generations of directors in China, and he is second to none.

[You’ve been to Cannes so many times, but haven’t you gotten nothing? 】

【What are you proud of? 】

[Isn’t it just the Beijing circle? Isn’t it just a good reincarnation? Isn’t it just...]

Bi Feiyu's eye circles turned red.

In the crowd…

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

As if unprecedented, the feeling of wanting to defeat Marshal Zheng was surging in his heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger!

He took a deep breath and watched Marshal Zheng walk to the end of the red carpet, and then gently pinched Zhou Bingqian's butt as if no one was watching...

A few minutes later……

He saw director Xu Zhongke walking on the red carpet again...

Then……

It's their turn.

When they walked on the red carpet, Bi Feiyu felt a little more relieved...

Although he was ignored and looked down upon by directors such as Zheng Shaoshuai and Xu Zhongke, many reporters from China, Europe and the United States were very interested in him on the red carpet.

They took many close-ups of him.

I also asked him how he felt.

This feeling of being in the spotlight diluted the unpleasant feeling in his heart, and then, before he knew it, he walked out of the red carpet.

After walking out of the red carpet, he subconsciously looked at the venue of the [Cannes International Film Festival]...

He saw Xu Zhongke and Marshal Zheng chatting with some European and American directors.

Their expressions were not at all as cold as their own.

Their faces were smiling.

There is a hint of flattery in his smile, as if he is deliberately catering to something. Often when some European and American directors say a few words, they will smile brightly, especially when shaking hands. Mr. Zheng even held the director of "Robin Hood" with both hands. Ridley's hand refused to let go no matter what. Although he couldn't understand what Marshal Zheng was saying, it probably should be some words of praise...

He is completely different from the previous disdain, arrogance and arrogance!

Bi Feiyu suddenly thought of the three words "shepherd dog"!

later……

Song Yufei followed Zhang Sheng down the red carpet.

Song Yufei was almost close to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng has a unique sense of security that makes her feel at ease when facing countless reporters on the red carpet.

The "shameful" dream on the plane appeared in her mind unconsciously.

She still couldn't remember what the dream was, but vaguely, it felt a little charming.

red carpet…

Finally came out.

There was some inexplicable regret, but more of it was an indescribable sense of satisfaction. When she walked into the [Cannes International Film Festival] venue, she seemed to have a little more confidence and confidence.

She raised her head and walked in step by step.

Although she raised her head, she did not appear arrogant. Instead, she maintained the mysterious beauty and pride of an oriental woman.

……………………

Ten minutes before the [Cannes International Film Festival] starts.

Shaoshuai Zheng is still chatting with many directors...

The six generations of directors have their own arrogance and their own uniqueness in pursuing art.

But perhaps because they have been influenced by Western culture since childhood, they instinctively yearn for Western culture, eager to be recognized by the West, Europe and the United States, and then integrate into it and be respected internationally.

But this yearning, in their view, is a pursuit of sacred art, not a so-called "shepherd dog".

Shaoshuai Zheng enjoys the sense of communication and recognition when chatting with European and American directors...

In the sea of ​​polite gentlemen, he felt more and more that he had integrated into this group.

but……

When he saw a place inadvertently, the smile on his face stopped slightly.

When he saw Zhang Sheng walking in, he also started chatting with some directors.

At first it was just a few…

But I don’t know why, the chat atmosphere here seems to be very good, and many people around him are attracted by Zhang Sheng.

Some directors laughed loudly with Zhang Sheng, completely losing their gentlemanly demeanor when chatting with them...

Then!

Vaguely, several directors came over and actually shook hands with Zhang Sheng...

After shaking hands, Zhang Sheng began to introduce Bi Feiyu...

These directors also shook hands with Bi Feiyu, some with appreciation in their eyes...

Marshal Zheng began to frown slightly.

A little uncomfortable feeling emerged in my heart...
