Chapter 859: Asia's New Star Director
"Sister, do you have a premiere?"
Duan Xinyue couldn't help but interrupt.
She is a die-hard movie fan, and watching movies is one of her few hobbies.
Life nowadays is very boring, especially under the impact of the "meta-world", the entire film and television industry has fallen into a downturn, with only a few movies available throughout the year.
She was looking forward to this rare opportunity to personally participate.
Lele shook his head: "The country is currently in the midst of a snowstorm. In order to promote frugality, the so-called premieres have been canceled since the year before last."
"Oh, what a pity."
Duan Xinyue sighed deeply.
"Don't be too disappointed. Although the premiere is cancelled, people related to the film, including the main actors and behind-the-scenes staff, will come to the cinema to watch the first movie in person."
"Ah? That's great." Duan Xinyue cheered excitedly, "Sister, which cinema are you going to? I'm going to open my eyes."
Coco raised the movie ticket in her hand: "This is the movie ticket I gave you. You can just go in with your ticket. This movie has been fully booked by us. There will be no ordinary audience at the scene."
Duan Xinyue quickly took out her movie ticket and looked at it carefully. The time was 9:30 tomorrow morning, and the location was Jiefang Cinema, the largest cinema in the city.
"Sister, can I ask Director Ji for an autograph?"
"Of course, no problem. I'll introduce Director Ji to you then."
"Thank you, sis."
Coco smiled and waved her hands, then looked at her dad:
"Dad, are you free tomorrow morning?"
Xu Dong nodded: "This is your company's debut film, how could dad miss it? Don't worry, except for your grandpa, everyone in our family will be here tomorrow."
Father Xu shook his head regretfully. His body was indeed not suitable for sitting still for long periods of time.
"Dad, thank you!"
Coco couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Originally, she was not prepared to disturb her father. After all, his father had a special status and was busy with work.
However, several leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, as well as Mr. Zhao of the distribution company, as well as Director Ji, expressed explicitly or implicitly that they wanted to take the opportunity to get to know her father.
From the preparation of the movie to the release of the movie, she already owed a lot of favors, and it was really difficult to refuse them.
Xu Dong smiled and waved his hand.
He could understand his eldest daughter's helplessness.
It is said that secrets cannot be kept in the business world. Now almost everyone in the Sydney business district knows that Mr. Xu, the blue creative, is the "big princess" of the richest family.
He wanted to take the opportunity to stand down for his eldest daughter.
To prevent her from being bullied.
"Would you like dad to help you invite a few more guests? Your uncle Ma Si Ke and the others must be free."
"No need, Dad, your support is enough." Coco said simply.
Although she was a little cautious.
But after thinking about it, I finally refused. The reason is very simple. The current situation is not right. If there are too many people, it will appear too high-profile, which may be self-defeating.
Xu’s mother was very considerate. She followed up and asked:
"Keke, can you give grandma a few more movie tickets? Grandma wants to invite a few more old friends to support you."
Ke Xiao smiled and immediately handed all the remaining movie tickets to grandma.
"Grandma, are these enough? If not, I'll think of something later."
"That's enough, that's enough."
Xu Ma's eyes almost narrowed with laughter.
…
In a blink of an eye, the next day came. Everyone in the old Xu family put on formal clothes and went out just after eight o'clock. It didn't take much to think about it. There would definitely be some socializing before the movie was shown.
Just before departure, Lele and Zhang Enya finally chose to stay after some struggle. Little Seahorse and Little Lentil are less than one year old. They are both first-time mothers and they are really worried.
After all, no matter how good the nanny is, she is not as considerate as her own mother.
At half past eight, the group arrived at the cinema an hour early. Half of the seats were already filled, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.
When Coco saw her family coming, she quickly arranged the seats for everyone, and then led her father to a temporary lounge.
Before the movie started, the director, several leading actors and screenwriters, as well as relevant leaders, all took a rest here.
"Director Fang, Mr. Zhao, Director Ji..."
Coco reminded softly.
As soon as Director Fang saw Xu Dong, he stood up immediately: "Director Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you. We have finally looked forward to having you here."
"Dad, this is Director Fang from the Cultural Affairs Bureau."
"Director Fang, there is a traffic jam on the road. I'm late. Please forgive me." Xu Dong said politely.
"It's not too late. If you come, Director Xu, it will be the greatest support for our work."
Director Fang kept his attitude very low.
There are two reasons:
On the one hand, it is asking for help from others;
On the other hand, the Cultural Affairs Bureau is a typical "cold yamen", and the film and television industry's influence is getting weaker and weaker. They really don't have the capital to pretend to be aloof.
"That's serious." Xu Dong smiled and waved his hand.
Coco then introduced several other people, including the male and female protagonists. Especially when the heroine was introduced, the other person's eyes burst out with an astonishing light.
"Dr. Xu, can I take a photo with you?"
Liang Xiaomeng took out her cell phone.
Xu Ziran would not refuse, he smiled and nodded.
Upon seeing this, Liang Xiaomeng immediately came over and tightly held the richest man's arm with both hands.
Xu Dong instantly felt a softness...
Coco took the phone, quickly took a few photos, and then returned the phone while quietly squeezing the other person aside.
At Director Fang's signal, Director Ji was very sensible and found an excuse to take away all the crew members.
…
Half an hour later, a burst of hearty laughter came from the conference room.
Under Director Fang's various promises, Xu Dong reciprocated and planned to launch a project called "Asian New Star Director" in the name of "Blue Creativity".
The initial investment amount of this plan is 100 million, and it is planned to select ten young directors from across Asia and finance their filming of movies.
If nothing else happens, the plan will officially start next year, with one issue every year in theory.
"Director Xu, I don't even know what to say. Your plan has been a great help to us. To say it is heartbreaking, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as providing help in a timely manner."
Director Fang said sincerely.
The biggest problem facing the current film and television industry is the lack of production. The number of movies produced each year is limited, making it difficult for young people to get opportunities.
I actually want to make a few more movies.
However, funds are tight and the superiors' finances cannot support it at all. And to say the least, even if the superiors have the money to make a few more movies, according to the seniority situation within the system, some young people may have to wait.
Xu Dong waved his hand: "Director Fang, what you said makes sense. Young people are the future of the country. I also hope to see talents emerge in large numbers in our cultural industry."
"It's well said. Only when there are more and more outstanding young talents like Mr. Xu can our cultural undertakings go global."
"Thank you. Our Xu Ke has just entered the industry and lacks experience. He still needs the patient guidance of seniors like you, Director Fang."
Keke was no longer a simple college student who had just left the society. Hearing this, he immediately bowed to Director Fang:
"Director Fang, please give me your advice in the future."
"Okay, take credit but don't be arrogant. It turns out that you have a tiger father and no dog daughter. Mr. Xu, you have a successor."
"Haha, Xu is the eldest in our family. She has been sensible since she was a child. This time she rarely encounters a career that she likes. I don't have high requirements for her. Whether she loses money or not is not the second priority. As long as she is happy."
