I have to teach the world a lesson

Chapter 612 Do you want to break through the cage?

After "Prisoners" ends...

Bi Feiyu went through a long period of silence.

During this period, he gained both fame and fortune.

From an unknown film school graduate to rising to international prominence, he then climbed up the ladder step by step, and finally stood at a high place.

This journey has been like a real dream.

He once wandered in the ocean of fame and fortune, unable to extricate himself.

It seems that wherever he goes, there is praise and applause. There are so many collaborators, and countless female stars in the industry are trying their best to stick to him.

The compliments from [Director Bi] came and went one after another, making him realize for a time that he seemed to be the protagonist of this world...

But after the hustle and bustle passed and gradually calmed down, I felt even more confused.

He saw the situation of the Chinese film industry in 2010.

China's local movies earn more than 10 billion, but overseas movies earn nearly 70%.

China's film industry is booming, but the biggest part of the money has already been made by Hollywood.

"Avatar" 1.4 billion!

The astonishing box office is daunting...

He was at a loss and didn't even know how many years it would take for Chinese Film to make a science fiction blockbuster similar to "Avatar."

After waking up from the dream, when he saw the 2011 movie rankings and Hollywood movies, he became more and more discouraged, especially when he came into contact with people and things in the film industry. He was uncontrollably disappointed...

It’s not just the difference in the film industry, but also the soil, environment, capital...

This series of things can only be made up for with time.

However, his ability alone is too limited.

He can't change anything.

The only thing I can do is to rely on my own efforts to make another hit movie, and then suppress the arrogance of Hollywood movies.

September 5th.

He returned to [NC Entertainment] after not appearing in [NC Entertainment] for a long time.

Then, I met Zhang Sheng.

Not only for the arrangement of the [Southern California International Film Awards], but also for the film industry that I want to talk to Zhang Sheng next.

…………………………

"boss Zhang……"

"Director Bi, sit down and drink tea."

"..."

Bi Feiyu sometimes feels that he is quite nonsense.

After making two movies that were well-received internationally, I started to worry about the country and the people.

But there is something lingering deep in my heart that I can never find anyone to describe.

For some students who went to film school, they said you were pretentious...

I went to talk to my director friends. Due to their affection and status, they listened very seriously on the surface, but secretly they kept talking and said, "Do you really think you are the savior?"

After success, everyone I met was very kind, and all I met were smiling faces...

The hypocritical faces with smiles disturbed Bi Feiyu. For a time, he couldn't tell whether those people were sincere or those who were hypocritical, and he didn't even dare to make friends in a real sense.

Zhang Sheng seems to have not changed at all from before, he is still so kind, and his smile is very gentle and sincere.

The only difference is that it seems to be a difference in status. In front of Zhang Sheng, Bi Feiyu spoke a little loudly and did not dare to breathe.

He sat in front of Zhang Sheng with some restraint, and then looked out the window silently...

Outside the window, a group of brand owners are still swarming around. In addition, some young directors will hang around the entrance of [NC Entertainment] every day in order to gain a chance.

The [Southern California International Film Awards] seems to be a signal of fame. Countless young directors desperately use various methods to seize this opportunity, much like him.

Zhang Sheng asked about Bi Feiyu's current situation...

"Don't work too hard at night. I think you have kidney deficiency..."

Bi Feiyu answered each one seriously, but Zhang Sheng's sudden words made Bi Feiyu, who was drinking tea, cough violently.

"boss Zhang……"

"Ha ha."

A simple joke made Bi Feiyu blush a little, but then the relationship between the two parties became a little closer.

After chatting about some recent events and the arrangements for the Film Awards, Bi Feiyu took a deep breath.

"boss Zhang……"

"Say, don't stop talking."

“Maybe it’s because I’ve stood taller, or maybe I’ve seen more people, and I’ve also gone to Hollywood...I realized that our Chinese film industry is relatively in a backward stage, especially the ending of Hong Kong Island...Recently released movies , it’s getting worse and worse. If there is no domestic film protection month, our domestic films will be crushed by Hollywood more than three or four times... Mr. Zhang, can you understand what I mean? During this period, I saw in the cinema All the movies played were Hollywood blockbusters. When I went to the mall, all the peripherals I saw were from R-books, old American movies, or animation..."

"..."

"I saw the peace, benevolence, personal heroism, fairness and justice in American movies... After my eight-year-old nephew watched a series of blockbusters, he said that he wanted to go to America and become an American. Brother... After I spanked him, he calmed down a little bit..."

"..."

"Movies are a window. We ordinary people understand other countries, and sometimes we look through the window... Then, after being infiltrated by the ideology in the movie, a kind of worship and worship mentality gradually emerges..."

"..."

"And at the same time, what about our movies? Our movies are becoming more and more biased toward love, love, and love. In the second half of this year, I looked at the movie filings. Except for love, love, and love, all of them are movies starring random little fresh meat. , you need acting skills but not acting skills, you need core concepts but no core concepts. It seems that since then, the threshold for directors has become lower and lower. Third-rate actors can become directors, halfway monks can become directors, and rich second-generation people can become directors just for fun... …”

"..."

“I recently watched the films submitted for the [Southern California International Film Awards], and these films are, without exception, terrible!”

"..."

"And what about our great director? What kind of nonsense is Mr. Chen Kai's "The Feast of the Han Dynasty" about? Also, what about "Warring States" and "Three Kingdoms"... I want to use one sentence to describe it, it is a package A piece of shit in a gorgeous coat. Not only is this kind of shit not recognized internationally, it is not even recognized by movie fans. However, now the right to speak is entirely in their hands, and whatever they say is what they say... What can be done? Moreover, Their butts are extremely crooked, and they admire the West very much. They have to maintain the so-called basic Western etiquette when eating, so fuck me!"

"..."

"Mr. Zhang, I feel like we are living in a huge cage... It seems as if a force is taking control and blocking us. We seem to be free, but it seems that everything is a script written by others... Not only are we being trapped They instill all kinds of messy thoughts in an attempt to make us content with the status quo, worship the United States, and ridicule our colleagues..."

"..."

"Mr. Zhang, look at those talent shows on the screen. The Korean wave is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more sissies. There is no distinction between men and women!"

"..."

"Damn it! I can't imagine how our children's views will be distorted in such an environment, Mr. Zhang!"

"..."

Bi Feiyu is like an angry young man.

He said a series of things in one breath.

He was angry, but also carried a deep-seated despair. This despair turned into a sense of powerlessness, which even made him sit helplessly on the chair and remain silent after he finished speaking.

Zhang Sheng listened carefully, feeling a little surprised and a little relieved at the same time.

He never thought that Bi Feiyu could think of this level so quickly.

"This is reality..."

Zhang Sheng slowly made a cup of tea for Bi Feiyu and then handed it to Bi Feiyu.

Bi Feiyu took the tea and took a sip. His hoarse throat finally softened a little: "Yes, this is reality, but Mr. Zhang, can we do anything?"

"What is the significance of the [Southern California International Film Awards]?" Zhang Sheng suddenly asked Bi Feiyu.

Bi Feiyu opened his mouth, and after a moment, he fell into silence. After a long time, he was shocked: "Mr. Zhang, you mean..."

"Do you see the people down there?"

Bi Feiyu lowered his head.

"Maybe most of the people below are in bad movies, but as long as they can find a good movie, they will most likely be the next you..."

"..." Bi Feiyu looked at the young people below [NC Entertainment] who were working hard for a spot in the [Southern California International Film Awards].

Some of them were burned under the sun, but they still kept holding their own movies and introducing themselves to Shen Xiaoxi and others.

"Now that you have thought about this, there are two paths in front of you now... One path is to wait, waiting for the old batch of directors to step down, and then you wait for time to take over, maybe many years later, When you take control of your voice, you can change things..."

"how long?"

"Who knows? Maybe it will be ten years, maybe it will be twenty years. You also know that the older generation of filmmakers have their own successors, and the successors will continue to control the right to speak according to their wishes... As long as you are willing to bow your head , I believe those old people are willing to give you a chance..."

"What about another one?" Bi Feiyu was silent for a moment, then stared at Zhang Sheng seriously.

Zhang Sheng looked out the window faintly: "You made movies worth 1 billion, 2 billion, or even 3 billion, and carried the banner of the entire Chinese movie box office! Not only you, but also the group of people who share the same goals with you can also Fight well and resist the invasion of Hollywood movies... When the time comes, you will naturally have the right to speak..."

"..."

Bi Feiyu's expression fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Both of them are not easy... One needs dignity, becomes unlike himself, wants to be a dog, and the other needs luck, market, opportunity..."

"Yes, it's not easy."

"But I want to try the second one!" Bi Feiyu stared at Zhang Sheng.

"you sure?"

"I am sure……"

Zhang Sheng was silent for a long time, and then glanced at the brand owners and countless young directors below.

"You are in a good mood now. Do you want to make a movie that breaks through the prison and all blockades?"

"what movie?"

"【Truman】……"

"ah?"

"Probably, the specific plot of [The Truman Show] is about a canary living in a cage. One day, he suddenly realizes the truth of reality..."

"..."

Zhang Sheng doesn't really remember the detailed plot of "The Truman Show".
