China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 555: Heartbeat and Facing Review [Two in One]

On the first day of February, early in the morning, No. 2, Xiaoyun Road, was buzzing with excitement.

"Hululu. Pfft."

Sun Yi brushed his teeth in the bathroom. After rinsing his mouth, he picked up a towel and casually wiped the toothpaste foam around his mouth, and looked briefly in the mirror.

It’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with the image.

He turned around and walked out of the bathroom. While putting his pants on his legs, he shouted towards the kitchen:
"Sissi, stop it, I'm too late, I have to leave now."

Liu Yifei was nowhere to be seen in front of the kitchen door, and there was only the roar of the range hood.

After a while, Liu Yifei shouted anxiously:

"Ah, it'll be ready soon, it'll be ready soon. Just wait a moment, you have to have breakfast."

Sun Yi put on his suit and looked at the time on the wall again. He was sure that he would be late if he didn't go out. He quickly walked to the door of the room and started to change his shoes.

"No, Sissy, I really can't do it anymore. I'll buy something to eat on the way later."

"No, okay, okay, that's it."

Liu Yifei was wearing a cartoon apron that clicked "click" and "click", with slippers on her feet, and rushed out of the kitchen with a gust of wind, holding a small plate in her hand.

Seeing that Sun Yi had just put on his shoes and was buttoning his suit with both hands, he shouted directly:
"Open your mouth."

"what?"

Two slices of fried golden bread were stuffed into Sun Yi's mouth. They were full and filled with the fragrance of butter.

"Eat on the road."

"Well"

Sun Yi held a piece of bread in his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Yifei was like a little warrior who had completed a difficult task, holding her waist with one hand and holding an empty plate in the other, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Sun Yi has something important to do today. He has to attend the annual meeting of the Directors Association. Teacher Tian Zhuang applied for him last year, and after three months of review, he finally passed. This is his first time attending the meeting as a member of the association, which is quite important.

He had been notified of this meeting in advance, including the meeting time, location, topics, etc.

As the only new member added this year, no matter how big the appearance is, Sun Yi will definitely attend.

Yesterday, he was well prepared, but young men and women easily misfired. This time, no, he overslept several times.

When I opened my eyes, there was only half an hour left for the meeting.

He took the time to wash up, while Liu Yifei rushed into the kitchen, insisting on making breakfast for him and asking him to finish it before leaving.

Sun Yi took the car keys and was about to go out. Liu Yifei was still helping him sort out the wrinkles in his clothes, so she held him back and told him:
"If you're late, you're late. Pay attention to your safety and don't drive fast."

You told me not to drive fast. Which of us drives faster?
"Woo."

Sun Yi bit the piece of bread, nodded, and pressed the elevator button.

"Don't forget, you have to go to rehearsal with me in the afternoon."

"Woo."

Sun Yi reached out and said "ok" to Xiao Nizi, indicating that he had remembered.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.

"Wait a moment."

At the last moment when Sun Yi stepped into the elevator, Liu Yifei hugged him. She originally wanted to kiss him, but when she saw the piece of bread in Sun Yi's mouth, she wrinkled her nose cutely, turned it to his cheek, and kissed him gently, Then he smiled and exited the elevator.

Liu Yifei wore a slightly wide cartoon apron, which covered her tall and slender figure. The trousers of her home clothes were one high and one low, exposing her snow-white ankles. She looked a bit slovenly. Her face was bare and her hair was dirty. She hadn't washed herself, and was messy and tangled in some places. Her eyebrows were crooked, and she was waving her hands at him with a silly smile on her face.

This was the last scene Sun Yi saw before the elevator closed.

No one would dare to believe it. Such a fairy sister doesn't look like a national goddess at all.

But it makes people's hearts beat.

Beijing Film and Television Art Center, where the 09 summary conference of the China Film Directors Association was held.

At 9: am, the meeting started normally.

The China Film Directors Association is the most authoritative industry association organized by Chinese film directors. The purpose is to unite film workers, safeguard the dignity of directors, protect the rights and interests of directors, communicate directors' experiences, improve the level of film and television culture, and promote artistic exchanges among directors internationally, across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong Island.

The association is composed of a group of famous film directors and a group of new generation directors, with a total of 317 members.

The number of directors present today is probably less than a third, more or less, about eighty or ninety people.

"Not many people came to this year's summary meeting. When the executive committee invited them, many members said they were unable to come because they had something to do. The specific reason was basically that they had movies to shoot and couldn't get away. I understand the situation very well, and I am also very pleased. If everyone gets busy, our Chinese movies will prosper."

Director Li Shaohong, the rotating president of the current Directors Association Executive Committee, was delivering the opening remarks on the stage.

At 9:40, Sun Yi arrived. After signing his name with the door staff, he carefully opened the door of the conference room.

Speaking of which, he felt a little guilty at this time. It felt a bit like entering a new school and being late on the first day of school.

Although there are no important topics in today's meeting, as the youngest member and this is the first time to attend the meeting, being late will always give people a feeling of disrespect.

Fortunately, no one paid attention in his direction. Only a few people in the back row looked up at him and didn't say much.

Sun Yi glanced around and happened to see Ning Hao sitting here. He bowed slightly and walked over. After sitting down, he breathed a sigh of relief. The matter of being late was over.

In fact, this matter is because he is a little too sensitive. Not to mention being late, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't come. After all, directors are all artistic workers. They have unrestrained imagination and go their own way. When a stubborn temper arises, who cares so much.

In this area, Sun Yi has not yet assumed the role of a knife-edge man. He will understand it after he attends such meetings a few more times.

"Old Ning, let's have this meeting, you, I guess, what are you doing?"

Sun Yi was about to ask Ning Hao about the details of today's meeting, but as soon as he glanced at him, he was stunned.

Ning Hao's appearance has not changed, and he still wears his iconic big gold chain, but his complexion is really not good, with sallow skin, thick dark circles, and bloodshot eyes, as if he hasn't slept for several days in a row.

At the beginning of last year, the box office of "Crazy Racing" exceeded 100 million, and Sun Yi was invited to the celebration party. At that time, Ning Hao was still looking heroic. How come it has become like this in less than a year?
"Hey, don't mention it, it's uncomfortable." Ning Hao sighed quietly.

"Because... the movie? "No Man's Land"?"

Sun Yi thought for a while, and the thing that made Lao Ning so sad during this period was probably his ambitious work "No Man's Land".

At last year's celebration party, Ning Hao had an exchange with Sun Yi about the movie. At that time, Sun Yi also gave some vague advice, saying that such a story would easily pass the line. But Ning Hao was so high-spirited at the time that he didn't take it seriously and invested in it. The big dog brother who is like a man and a small horse is also generous and generous, and supports him non-stop.

I really asked him to go to the Northwest and make this movie.

Before the Lunar New Year holiday, Sun Yi heard that "No Man's Land" was originally scheduled. The distributor and producer had even started promoting it, but then they suddenly announced the postponement, and then shelved it indefinitely. Obviously It's been reviewed.

"Yeah, I've changed it three times. I was told yesterday that it still doesn't work. I'm going to go fucking crazy." "Just take your time. There's no point in getting angry in a hurry."

Sun Yi gave a symbolic comfort. He really didn't know how to persuade him. He couldn't make the movie happen even if it was left to him.

The movie "No Man's Land" is indeed a bit sensitive at this time, because its location involves the nation.

And most of the characters in the movie are negative characters.

Everyone is engaged in illegal things, including poaching, private gas stations, tied-up operations, lost women, traffic accidents, and escapes. Everyone cannot pass the scrutiny of the law. The whole film is full of bad guys, and there are no good guys.

Lawyer Huang Hai, played by Bald Xu, is portrayed as a hero, but in fact he is not a hero at all. As the defender of national citizen security, Uncle Hat has nothing to do in the movie.

This kind of movie has no "educational" significance for the organization.

However, from Sun Yi's professional perspective, putting aside other aspects, this film is still very good.

Confrontation and contrast can be seen everywhere in the play, and even the entire film completes the narrative under the strong contrast of characters. Under normal conditions, human nature is good, and people in society will help each other and benefit each other. However, in the special situation of no man's land, human nature has been wiped out, and those who remain will only consider their own needs. Therefore, here, no one survives, only animals.

However, I was born at the wrong time.

While Sun Yi was feeling emotional, he couldn't help but think of his next movie, "Into the Dust". Although there are not so many real bad guys in the movie, there are also no good guys, and the remaining group are still indifferent. The villagers, they are not guilty, but in a sense, they are also accomplices.

This kind of story seems to be over the line at this juncture.

He was somewhat shaken by his original belief that he could pass the review.

When I think of this, my thoughts inevitably start to diverge, just like persecution paranoia. The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Ask him to cut out the storyline, and he can't do it. As a mature director, he also has a complete desire to express his works. Even if he draws on previous lives, he also wants to express the entire story completely.

How to do it?

There is no special topic in this summary conference. It mainly talks about how in the current era of rapid development of the Chinese film market, the Directors Association should guide members to participate more deeply, including the choice of film and television themes and markets.

Many directors participating in the meeting were actively communicating with each other. Sun Yi looked like a transparent person in the back, basically not participating, and just thinking about his own affairs.

After thinking about it, it was time for a break in the meeting. Many young and middle-aged directors who attended the meeting came over to say hello to him after seeing him.

There is no "licking the dog", just normal communication, exchanging business cards, becoming familiar with each other, saying a few words at most that I have benefited a lot from watching your film, and nothing else. After all, all directors who can sit in the venue are well-established, and no one will show off his or her body for no reason.

Sun Yi dealt with it a bit, accepted a small stack of business cards, and had accumulated some connections. Suddenly he saw a very familiar figure in the front row, with gray and slightly curly hair and a slovenly down vest.

Isn't this Teacher Tian? He is also here to participate in today's meeting?
By the way, ask him about the movie being censored. He has been banned for ten years, so it can be considered a long-term illness!

Sun Yi slapped his thigh, stood up and moved to the front row.

"Teacher, you are here to participate today too. Just say something and I will pick you up in advance."

The old man glanced at Sun Yi, then snorted with a smile.

"Well, yes, I will be late with you."

Damn, does this old man have eyes on the back of his head? How do you see them?
Sun Yi was choked, but at this time, he no longer felt any embarrassment, and explained boldly:

"The traffic in Beijing is too congested. This is my first time here, so I couldn't find a good place."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something. You, a great director who is the annual box office champion and a busy man, why do you want me, an old man who teaches, to do this?"

Tsk tsk tsk, still angry.

I was angry at Sun Yi, who had obviously studied as a graduate student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, but never returned to school.

Sun Yi smiled and asked the old man:
"Teacher, do you remember my previous movie? Well, I wanted to cast Mr. Li Xuejian as the male lead, but you messed it up."

"What does it have to do with me messing around with Huang? It's because Lao Li is not in good health." The old man was a little anxious, blowing his beard and staring.

"Yes, yes, I didn't consider Teacher Li's health, but Teacher Li agreed at the time. It was indeed you who stirred things up, no, persuasion, no persuasion, right?"

"What." Tian Zhuang wanted to say more, but Sun Yi quickly interrupted him. He was so shameless now that he insisted on blaming the old man for this matter.

"Teacher, teacher, I don't mean anything else. I just have a small problem with my movie now. I need you to give me some advice. You have to help me with this."

Tian Zhuang sneered, feeling that he had caught Sun Yi's pigtails.

As soon as your ass sticks out, I know what kind of shit I'm about to poop.

However, I was quite proud of the word "pointing" mentioned by Sun Yi, even a little bit arrogant.

How about being the box office champion of the year? How about breaking the box office record of Hollywood blockbusters? How about being the youngest director of the Palme d'Or in Cannes? He's still my student, Tian Zhuang. If you have any questions, you still have to come and ask me.

Tian Zhuang smoothed his curly hair, unscrewed the thermos cup on the table, took two sips of hot tea, then held it in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Sun Yi like you are so old , still not letting me worry, he coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Tell me, what problems did the movie encounter again?"

Sun Yi hit the snake with a smile on his stick and said:

"Teacher, it's like this. In this movie, the overall core of the story is more ironic about reality, among which..."

Tian Zhuang listened very seriously at first, but then the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his brows furrowed tightly.

This doesn’t seem to be a specific film shooting issue.

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he asked with some confusion: "Is this a movie review issue?"

"correct."

Tian Zhuang was silent, looked directly into Sun Yi's eyes, and continued to ask:
"Don't want to delete it?"

"I don't want to."

"You don't want to modify the script either?"

"Do not want to."

"Then what's the use of asking me?"

"Well, you have been banned for ten years. You must be experienced in this area. Is there any other way?"

The old man's face was frighteningly dark, and he felt like the veins on the back of his head were throbbing, and his blood vessels were about to burst.

"Get out of here!"

　Thanks to Mo Feimo and the boss for the reward.

　　I'm very sorry. I originally planned to get 6k today, but something happened at the unit temporarily, so I only have this much.

　　Hey, people nowadays are so complicated. They don’t want you to be bad, and they are even more afraid that you will have a better life than him~
　　Thank you to every book lover who voted, recommended, subscribed, and gave rewards.
