my movie years

Chapter 298

"Congratulations, young man, you have made great achievements." The leader awarded Zhang Hao a medal and shook hands with him.

"Thank you leader, this is what I should do, and I will continue to work hard in the future." Zhang Hao clenched the leader's hand, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

"Come on, look at the camera..." the photographer greeted.

Zhang Hao shook hands with the leader and took a group photo with the camera. This scene will be preserved, and when Zhang Hao grows old in the future, he can still take it out for aftertaste.

When "The Martian" continued to be popular, Zhang Hao and outstanding cultural workers from all over the country accepted the commendation in a certain hall in Beijing.

Those who received the commendation together were not only films, but also calligraphy, painting, and cultural leaders in the field of literary creation.

This can be said to be a kind of honor, and it is also an official endorsement. Not everyone can be interviewed by leaders.

In this hall, Zhang Hao is probably the youngest one.Which one of the people present is not a figure at the level of a bigwig in the cultural field, except Zhang Hao, a young man.

Although there are shortcomings of insufficient qualifications, Zhang Hao's achievements are beyond reproach, and he deserves to be commended.

After the commendation, there was a dinner party. The leader just toasted everyone and left in a hurry.

Zhang Hao vaguely heard that a big man with a common surname wanted to talk to the leader, and the rest of Zhang Hao didn't dare to inquire.

It's a pity that Da Mimi didn't come, otherwise he could taste the level of the state banquet chef, the dishes are really good, Zhang Hao thought.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a certain famous calligrapher came over to chat with Zhang Hao holding a wine glass.

"Xiao Zhang, can I call you that?"

"You are polite, of course."

The calligrapher and Zhang Hao were polite, and then he said the purpose: "My son is your loyal movie fan. He has met you several times. Do you have any impression?"

How the hell do I know who is whose son?I have seen many people go.

Although he thought so, on the face, Zhang Hao still said politely: "Of course I have, your son is very handsome, with the demeanor of your youth."

The calligrapher laughed: "You're welcome, Xiaozhang, this child will follow his mother. He too, has always wanted to be a movie star. Can you give me a chance? Give me a leading role."

It seems to be asking, but if Zhang Hao doesn't show face, it is estimated that this calligrapher will not give Zhang Hao a good face.

Although Zhang Hao doesn't need to bully him, but the human society does not reach out to hit the smiling face.

When the time comes to find an excuse to brush off his son and arrange a small role to play, he has no excuse to make trouble.

Besides, Zhang Hao didn't run a brothel, the top bitch in the brothel had to look at her beauty!Besides, the shooting is a movie, do you really think that cats and dogs can come to make movies?

"Look at what you said, if your son can participate in the performance, of course I will be very happy." Zhang Hao laughed.

"Great," the calligrapher said happily, "I heard that your old man's calligraphy is good. I will send him an invitation on behalf of the Calligraphers' Association some other day. The old man must be very happy to join the Calligraphers' Association."

This condition is good, Zhang Hao's grandfather's calligraphy has always been very good.

But calligraphy, in the final analysis, is a very subjective aesthetic just like film music.But if there is an endorsement from the Calligraphers Association, Grandpa's calligraphy can also be considered professionally certified.

There is a saying that goes like this, how to blow a painting into a peerless work is very simple, just find a few famous painters in the world to brag about it.

Anyway, many old hats don't understand the so-called art at all, and they believe what the authority figures say.

Therefore, many ordinary works of art can be sold at very high prices if you find a few celebrities to brag about them.

Moreover, my grandfather's calligraphy art is really good, and I won't lose money if I buy it.Without joining the Calligraphers Association, the value of Zhang Hao's grandfather's calligraphy works soared due to Zhang Hao's reputation.

If you join the Calligraphers Association, you may become a top calligrapher in a few decades.

Now those neighbors are getting rich, because the couplets for Chinese New Year are written by my grandfather every year, and there is no charge.

As long as you keep the couplets written by grandpa well, you can even keep them as property.

Of course, after realizing this problem, my grandfather stopped writing couplets in recent years.He didn't want to be told that he was relying on his grandson Zhang Hao's reputation to make money.

Zhang's family is not short of money, not to mention the courtyard house, both elders have a lot of retirement salary, and Zhang Yu himself has an advertising company with a market value of more than one billion.

It's one thing whether you want a grandfather or not, but a grandson must always be filial.

After some consideration, Zhang Hao said: "In this way, Hua Tsai has already been selected as the protagonist of my new movie, but the role of the second male and the third male is also very important.

If your son does well in the auditions, I could cast him in one of the roles. "

The calligrapher showed a satisfied smile: "Great, I believe you young people have a lot to talk about.

Another day, please invite your old man to play chess with me, or I can go to the old man's place, everyone is a cultural person. "

"You are too kind. I thank you for your invitation on behalf of my grandfather."

"Small things, don't worry about them..."

They are all cultural people, but apart from cultural achievements, they may not be so human in doing things.

This is also normal. Many cultural people have problems in private morality and public affairs. In ancient times, there was Li Yu, who was a king of subjugation in poetry and poetry, and his wife was slept by the enemy.

Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, a great calligrapher, created the thin gold style and passed it on to the world. As a result, he messed up the state affairs and became a prisoner of the Jin people himself.

More recently, Xu Zhimo's love affairs are widely circulated in cultural circles, not to mention his good friend Hu Shi.

So it can be seen that cultural people are cultural people, and at the same time they are cultural, they are also human beings, and being human will have shortcomings.

So things should be viewed dialectically, and their achievements in the field of art cannot be denied just because of their shortcomings.Nor can their shortcomings be ignored just because of their achievements.

After the commendation dinner, Zhang Hao saw the calligrapher's son on the second day after he went back. He was 27 and [-] years old, and he looked quite handsome.

It's not the popular little white face and fresh meat, but that kind of very masculine and manly feeling.

His name is Yan Biwen, and his attitude is still very sincere, apologizing for his father: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang Hao, I don't want my father to ask you for a role.

But if he insists on doing this, I can't stop him. "

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't care whose son you are, I only care about your ability and ability."

As he said that, Zhang Hao asked his assistant Tang Xiqian to hand over the script of the third male pretender to Yan Biwen.

"Go back and study it carefully. If you haven't taken an acting class, it's best to hire an acting teacher. I look forward to your performance in the audition in September.

Remember to keep the script secret, let him sign a non-disclosure agreement later," Zhang Hao said the last sentence to Tang Qianqian.

Then Zhang Hao waved his hand and told Yan Biwen to go down.

Yan Biwen left Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, and couldn't believe he got the script.But just like Zhang Hao said, getting the script is just more research opportunities than others.

If you think that everything will be fine when you get the script, then it will probably be over.

After returning home, he began to contact good friends to help him find an acting teacher.

Yan Biwen's mother asked, "Son, have you seen Director Zhang Hao?"

"Of course I did, he gave me the script back." Yan Biwen replied happily.

"Really? Show mommy..."

"This won't work. I signed a non-disclosure agreement, so I can't show it to you." Yan Biwen strictly guarded against letting his mother read the script.

"This child, is it still a secret?" Having said that, Yan Biwen's mother is still very happy, and there is a topic for chatting with her sisters at night playing mahjong.

Boasting that her son will appear in Zhang Hao's new movie, several sisters showed envious eyes.

On the other side, Zhang Hao and Da Mimi returned to their grandfather's house with Ping An and Shi Shi, and the grandfather asked: "A few days ago, Mr. Yan came to our house as a guest, and asked me to join the Calligraphers Association."

Zhang Hao said indifferently: "Oh, this one, I have a movie role exchange."

Grandpa frowned and said, "This won't affect your filmmaking, will it?"

"Don't worry, it's just an audition opportunity. If you fail, they won't be able to act. Don't worry about joining, there's no problem." Zhang Hao assured, patted his chest.

Even if he fails the audition, with his own reputation, can the Calligraphers Association return the invitation to join?

Hearing what Zhang Hao said, Grandpa felt relieved.

So look, the movie not only changed Zhang Hao himself, but also changed the life of his family.The grandfather in the previous life did not join the Calligraphers Association, and Zhang Yu's advertising company also did not have a market value of more than one billion yuan.

Great power, that is, there are mixed reputations, and there are more black fans than fans.

But now, everything has changed.

Of course, some things have changed, such as the release of a Chinese-language film that broke the billion-dollar box office worldwide.Some things have not changed. For example, the box office of a film starring a certain trafficker also exceeded one billion.

This movie is "Tomb Raider Notes", starring Lu Xiaohan and Jing Boran, and adapted from a well-known online novel of the same name.

This drama can be said to be the pinnacle of IP plus traffic stars, because before this movie, the box office of movies starring traffic stars did not exceed one billion.

Many people may not know what this means, which means that the traffic plus IP model is promising, and producers and capital can easily make money.

Zhang Hao's "The Martian" can sell billions of dollars worldwide, and the mainland market has made a major contribution.

The success of the film is not because Zhang Hao directed it, but more because of the unknown behind-the-scenes staff behind it.

That's why Zhang Hao mentioned his behind-the-scenes staff on many occasions, praised their work, and said that such a large project could not be completed without them.

An excellent movie, script, director, actors, photographers, producers, props, costumes, editing, special effects engineers, sound design, soundtrack, and even scene management are all indispensable.

Any error in any one of these links can ruin everyone's efforts.

Coupled with sufficient production funds and carefully polished works, what is finally presented to everyone is an unprecedented Chinese science fiction film.

It can be said that the success of "The Martian" is not due to its director named Zhang Hao, but due to the excellent performance of the actors and the hard work of thousands of people behind the scenes.

The success of "Tomb Raider Notes" is equivalent to telling everyone that the above-mentioned links are not important, and even the director and script have become irrelevant.

As long as you can make a lot of money by relying on high-traffic star Xiaoxianrou and influential IP works, then who will put their heart into making movies?
If you work so hard, you may not be able to make money, so it is better to take the simple road of traffic IP.

As a result, a watershed has emerged for Chinese-language films.The quality school headed by "The Martian", and the flow school headed by "Tomb Raiders Notes".

At least in the summer of 2016, Chinese-language movies began to become magical.

Perhaps the Chinese-language film market has been magical for a long time, and it didn't appear until recently.

Now everyone's ideas are easy to guess, it is nothing more than a question of which path to choose.Choose the easier one, or take the harder one.

The problem now is that the simpler ones are more likely to succeed, and even if they lose money, they will lose less.

Everyone in the Chinese film circle is looking at Zhang Hao, to see whether this super director will compromise with traffic after experiencing glory, or stick to his high-quality line of big production and big investment.

Everyone is waiting for an answer, not only for Zhang Hao, but also for the future of Chinese-language films.
