Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 543 Killing a chicken requires a butcher's knife (second update)

When Zhang Yimou went to Jinyi to look for Yu Dong, he had a copy of "People's Daily" in his hand. As soon as he arrived at the door, he smiled and stuffed the newspaper into Uncle Zhou's hand.

"Uncle Zhou, today's new newspaper is still hot."

Uncle Zhou glanced at the word "People's Daily", curled his lips and said, "Director Zhang, we are also acquaintances, what newspapers do I usually like to read, don't you know?"

"I know." Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "But you have to pay attention to today's issue."

"Really?" Uncle Zhou asked doubtfully.

"You turned to the fourth page."

Uncle Zhou nodded, turned to the fourth page according to what Zhang Yimou said, and then saw a piece of news.

[The selection of the first "Lu Xun Literature Award" begins. 】

The content of the news is probably that the selection of the first Lu Xun Literature Award officially started yesterday, that is, on September 27th.

Uncle Zhou laughed, "It's something to pay attention to."

The selection of the Lu Xun Literature Award has nothing to do with them as a doorman, but it has something to do with Jin Yi. There are several great writers living in the school.

"Tell me." Uncle Zhou said again: "Can Teacher Yu and the others get this award?"

"I dare not say that." Zhang Yimou smiled: "It depends on what the judges think. Of course, I think Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu are still very promising."

"Where are Mo Yan and Yu Hua?" Uncle Zhou asked.

"Oh, for this award, he only judges short stories, ranging from 95 to 96. Didn't Mo Yan and Yu Hua didn't write many short stories in those two years?"

"That's it." Uncle Zhou nodded suddenly, and then muttered: "It seems that I want to study this award."

Zhang Yimou laughed: "Okay, you study, I'll go in."

Uncle Zhou nodded: "Go."

……

When Zhang Yimou arrived at Yudong's house, Bi Feiyu and Mo Yan were also there.

Seeing Zhang Yimou arrived, Mo Yan said with a smile, "I'm talking about you."

"About me?" Zhang Yimou was a little strange. He glanced at the "People's Daily" on the coffee table, "I thought you were talking about the Lu Xun Literature Award."

"No, our department took over the job of designing the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting. I was talking about this just now. When Lao Bi knew that you were coming today, he mentioned that he could ask you to help." Yu Dong laughed.

"Haha, we're just chatting nonsense." Bi Feiyu said.

He was talking nonsense, but Zhang Yimou seemed to be interested, "Your school sports meeting is very big?"

"The scale of our school sports meeting is not large, but the opening ceremony has always been well done. Art schools, students like to make some tricks, and there are all kinds of weird square formations. The most classic one is counted among the members. Teacher Jiacheng took the lead in the Shengyin exorcising ghosts."

"Nonsense, what holy music exorcises ghosts."

"Don't deny it, I have a video to prove it."

Yu Dong twitched the corners of his mouth. At the opening ceremony, the phalanx of opera creators and artisans came one after the other, and the demons danced wildly, which is vivid in his memory.

"When is your school sports meeting?" Zhang Yimou asked.

Mo Yan glanced at Zhang Yimou with a smile, "Why, old Mouzi, you really want to help."

Zhang Yimou nodded unexpectedly, "Yes, anyway, I have nothing to do recently. "No One Less" will be released until next year, and I haven't accepted any other dramas recently. I only have two jobs, one is to guest star in the crew of "The Mansion Gate" , and the other is "Golden Dreamland". The latter one will definitely take a lot of time to make, so I might as well stay in Jinling for a while and hold an opening ceremony for you."

Bi Feiyu looked surprised, "You really want to do it, I thought you were joking."

Yu Dong sat aside and didn't speak, but took a sip of water from his teacup.

Zhang Yimou was associated with the opening ceremony, so Yu Dong couldn't help but think of the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games.

Although Zhang Yimou has not yet directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but as a director who has won awards in the three major film festivals, to direct the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting of an ordinary university, it is really a bit of a butcher's knife mean.

"Actually, I also want to find something to do for myself during the period when I don't have a job, so as to maintain a sense of tension." Zhang Yimou said.

Bi Feiyu looked at Zhang Yimou and confirmed again: "Director Zhang, are you sure? If you are sure, I will go and talk to Zhang Xian now."

Zhang Yimou didn't hesitate, and nodded with a smile, "Sure."

"Okay!" Bi Feiyu stood up as soon as he slapped his thigh, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go find Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xian also lives in the apartment building now, so it was very convenient to find him. After only 2 minutes, Bi Feiyu dragged Zhang Xian over.

Zhang Xian was dragged by him and kept asking: "Old Bi, what are you talking about? What are you doing, stealing people?"

"You'll know right away."

"What's wrong with you?"

The two entered Yu Dong's house arguing. Zhang Xian saw Zhang Yimou and greeted him with a smile. My arm was almost torn off by him."

Zhang Yimou responded with a smile, "Director Zhang, long time no see."

"Long time no see, long time no see." Zhang Xian rubbed his arms, "It must have been more than half a year, I haven't seen you since the last deep space annual meeting."

Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "Don't talk about the past, Lao Zhang, aren't you worried about the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting? I'll take care of it for you."

Zhang Xian said confusedly: "What do you mean you solved it for me? I asked you to give me an idea before, but you still pushed back and forth. It was either a stomachache or an inspiration to create. How did you solve it for me?"

"I can't solve the opening ceremony, but I found you someone who can solve the opening ceremony."

Zhang Xian understood what Bi Feiyu meant, and he looked at Zhang Yimou in surprise: "You mean, Director Zhang..."

"That's right! Director Zhang has agreed to arrange the opening ceremony for us."

Zhang Yimou nodded cooperatively: "I agreed, I don't know if I have this opportunity."

Zhang Xian clapped his palms and said with a smile: "That's too much, I can't have any more. I was thinking about letting the students of drama creators and directors do it. Now it will be directly upgraded and in line with international standards."

As he spoke, he rubbed his palms loudly again: "Blessed are the students majoring in directing. With the master demonstrating in person, they will definitely learn a lot."

Zhang Yimou said modestly: "It can only be said that we are learning from each other. I have no experience in this field. This time is also an opportunity for me to broaden my artistic vision."

"Director Zhang is too modest."

……

In this way, Zhang Yimou's role as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Jinyi School Games was determined by the owner.

Yu Dong didn't raise any opinions during the whole process. As long as Zhang Yimou wanted to, he had nothing to say.
