I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 140 Standing on the platform, feeling proud

People from the General Administration, the Directors Guild, the Actors Guild, and various associations, under the call of the Arts Department of the Ministry of Culture, gathered together because of Wan Qingshan's appointment as a judge at the Berlin Film Festival.

Logically speaking, as Wan Qingshan serves as a jury member of the Berlin Film Festival, he has nothing to do with these associations in the domestic film and television industry. There is no need for people from these associations to come to the meeting.

However, the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture held an extraordinary meeting to "support young directors and vigorously promote new forces in film and television."

The call from the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture was very serious in name, just like those serious meetings in the past.

But at this time, an impromptu meeting was suddenly held, and everyone guessed the real intention of the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture in convening this meeting!
'Wan Qingshan is going to be a judge at the Berlin Film Festival, but in China he only has the Best Debut Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival.

Apart from being a director of the Actors Association, he does not hold any association positions. This makes foreign people think of our country's cultural industry! '

After the meeting started, after a few high-sounding official words, they started talking about Wanqing Mountain.

Everyone who had already guessed the true intention of the meeting held by the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture quickly spoke out to guarantee it!
People from the Directors Guild promised that they would invite Wan Qingshan to join the Directors Guild and hold the titles of vice president and executive committee member like Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige.

People from the Screen Actors Association looked dull. After all, Wan Qingshan was a director of the association, and they only promised to raise Wan Qingshan's title to vice chairman.

Other associations, most of them like the Directors Association, guaranteed to invite Wan Qingshan to join the association and hold the title of vice president.

The answers given by these associations dissatisfied Tang Jianli, the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture who presided over the meeting.

"What do you want to do? You have a bunch of professional titles. Those who don't know better think that Wan Qingshan is a government official, not a director!"

Tang Jianxin turned to look at Huang Jianxin, "Your Directors Guild is really good. A great internationally renowned director is not even a member of your Directors Guild!"

Huang Jianxin sighed deeply in his heart. After guessing the purpose of this meeting, he knew that he, the president of the Directors Association, would definitely be criticized.

"Director Tang, our Directors Association has failed in its duties, and we are willing to accept the punishment." Huang Jianxin stood up and bent down.

Seeing Huang Jianxin's attitude, Tang Jianxin's expression softened a lot, "Okay, sit down. Criticism is not the point. The point is to make up for it, and to prevent making such mistakes again in the future!"

Huang Jianxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped this disaster.

"Yes, Director Tang, I will never make this kind of mistake again in the future!"

Tang Jianli nodded slightly, turned his eyes, and scanned everyone, "This year's domestic film festivals have passed, so I won't talk about it. But next year, I don't care how you choose, Wan Qingshan will definitely win several awards, especially It was during the presentation of the Hundred Flowers Award."

At this time, Tang Jianli paused and stared at Kang Jianmin, "Secretary Kang, this is the first year of the reform of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. The reform has just begun. You have done a good job of taking the lead. Wan Qingshan didn't even get a nomination!"

Kang Jianmin's heart trembled and he murmured in his heart, "It's over!"

Immediately, Tang Jianmin explained with the slightest hope of rescue,
"Director Tang, this year's Golden Rooster Awards are being presented. Except for Cheng Long's "New Police Story" which was selected because of the relationship between the two parties, the rest are not commercial films. Wan Qingshan's "The True Meaning of Love" is a purely commercial film. We You can’t just select it because of its high box office!”

"Really? Doesn't he have another movie?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Kang Jianmin's eyes, "Could he be trying to unblock "Heart"?"

Kang Jianmin suppressed the shock in his heart and said helplessly, "Director Tang, he also has a film called "Heart", but it is prohibited from dissemination by the General Administration. We can't choose a banned film to upload!"

Tang Jianli sneered and turned to look at Tian Jin, "Haha, banned film, Deputy Director Tian, ​​please explain why "Heart" was passed when it was submitted for review, and was banned again after winning the Venice Golden Lion. dissemination in the mainland. Was there a problem with your early review, or was there a problem later when you banned "Heart" from being disseminated in the mainland."

Suddenly, Tian Jin froze with an expression as pale as death!

After waiting for a while, seeing that Tian Jin still looked stupid, Tang Jianli frowned, knocked on the table, and shouted, "Deputy Director Tian!"

Tian Jin came to his senses and replied with dull eyes, "Well, Director Tang, it's like this. When "Heart" was originally reviewed, there was a controversy in the bureau, and I didn't know whether it should be passed.

While we were still discussing, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, Mr. Mark Muller, strongly requested that "Heart" be brought to the Venice Film Festival.Considering Mr. Mark Mueller's friendship with our country's film and television circles, we let "Heart" pass.

As for "Heart", it was banned after it won the Golden Lion Award. It was because some media reported that "Heart" had a bad stance.We are worried that after the movie is released, it will have a very bad impact, so we prohibit the dissemination of "Heart" in the mainland. "

"Haha, your review work is really capricious. Because of Mark Mueller, "Heart" passed the review. And because of a media report, you banned "Heart" from being spread in the mainland. Is this how your bureau works? ?”

In the dead of winter, Tian Jin was sweating all over because of Tang Jianli's words.

"Also, don't you know why the media reported it? It's not those people who took a bad stance.

Deputy Director Tian, ​​at the end of the day, you are still afraid of taking responsibility, so you would rather ban a movie that just won an award abroad and gained face for our country's film and television industry! "

"Director Tang, I, I," Tian Jin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Stop me, me, mine. Deputy Director Tian, ​​I hope that after this meeting, your bureau can establish a good review system. Don't make changes every day because you are afraid of taking responsibility."

"Yes, yes, Director Tang, please rest assured. From now on, we will establish a good review system and ensure good control. We will definitely shoulder the responsibilities we should bear." Tian Jin quickly assured.

Tang Jianli's criticism made everyone tremble, and their previous coping mentality disappeared, fearing that Tang Jianli would judge him by name.

Tang Jianli's criticism of Tian Jin seemed to be just two harsh words, but in fact, after today's incident spread, the current group of people in the General Administration, unless they have a profound background, will have to sit in that position and wait. If you retire, you may even be retired early.

Tang Jianli glanced around the crowd and looked around. Everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Tang Jianli.

“Many of you people are relatively close to that group of people, some are dissatisfied with Wanqingshan’s lack of treatment for you, and some are envious of Wanqingshan.

Let me tell you, I don’t care what you think, but I don’t want to see a person who can win face for our country’s film and television industry abroad, but is not welcomed at home.

Even if you have to endure it, you still have to endure it for me.

If someone has a bad temper, he can't help it!
Well, you go abroad to help our country’s film and television industry.Otherwise, I have to endure it even if I can’t help it. "

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.When Wang Shuo and his gang attacked Zhang Yimou, people from the Ministry of Culture came forward to support Zhang Yimou, but they did not support him to this extent!
Tang Jianli is obviously helping Wanqingshan stand!

"Except for what the Directors Guild and the Actors Guild just said, you just stopped all the other things you said about inviting Wan Qingshan to join the association. I don't want people abroad to think that Wan Qingshan is a government official.

Please prepare me for the major film festivals next year. I don’t want to see that after next year, Wanqingshan will only have one maiden award at the Beijing College Student Film Festival in China.

You are embarrassed that a director who won the Venice Golden Lion only has a Virgin Award in China.You don’t even want to watch it. Just because Wan Qingshan only won one Virgo Award in China, there are a lot of comments on the Internet about what happened to domestic film festivals? "

After Kang Jianmin and the people around him looked at each other, he said, "Director Tang, we will pay attention to what you said. But it is a bit difficult to handle. Wan Qingshan has not participated in domestic film festivals in the past two years. If we invite, I'm afraid He may not come. We can’t. If he doesn’t participate, we should rush to give him a prize.”

"It's not your fault that he doesn't participate in domestic film festivals. He won the Best Actor in Berlin, but only won the Best Debut Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival. He was embarrassed once in Wan Qingshan, so why should he continue to come to his door to embarrass himself? .”

After scolding, Tang Jianshe calmed down and said, "I will talk to him personally about this matter. Don't make any mistakes about next year's film festival, otherwise it won't be Wan Qingshan who is embarrassed, but me."

"Yes, yes, Director Tang, don't worry, we will definitely do a good job."

Afterwards, Tang Jianli gave some instructions again and the meeting ended.

Tang Jianshe got into the car and told the driver to go to Qingshan Film and Television Company. Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After the call was connected, Tang Jianli said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Feng, I have done what you asked."

A hoarse voice came from the mobile phone, "Jianli, thank you." "Uncle Feng, that's not the case. If you want to say thank you, then I have to thank you."

Immediately, Tang Jianli kindly joked,

"Uncle Feng, you've hidden it well enough. You have a goddaughter and a godson-in-law who is a great international director. I didn't even know about it."

"Haha, my goddaughter has gone to the south with her father a long time ago. She doesn't have much time to see me. Of course you don't know that I have a goddaughter."

"Uncle Feng, if I had known that he was your godson-in-law, I would have taken care of things long ago without your having to give orders."

After hearing several hoarse laughters coming from the mobile phone, Tang Jianli restrained his smile and continued solemnly,

"However, Uncle Feng, I can only help him this time. I work in the Ministry of Culture and do things under everyone's eyes. I shouldn't be too biased when doing things, otherwise someone will accuse me of accepting benefits.

If it hadn't been for him to become a jury member of the Berlin Film Festival this time, but he didn't have any professional titles or awards in China, I would have been famous for my work.I'm afraid things won't be easy to handle this time. After all, those people are all experienced in the film and television industry and may have some roundabout connections. "

"Build it, it's enough to help him this time. If you need to help him a second time, it means that with his temperament, he won't be able to succeed. Then I will definitely let him give up as soon as possible and just be a director with peace of mind."

"Haha, Uncle Feng, I think he will definitely become something. Apart from being a little unable to bend down, he is pretty good in other aspects. Now that you are always helping him stand up, I don't think anyone will want him to bend down anymore. .”

"I hope. Okay, let's establish it. I have a meeting here later, so I won't tell you."

"Uncle Feng, if you are busy, I won't disturb you."

,,,,,,
"Uncle, I understand. Please help me say thank you to Grandpa Feng."

"Well, uncle, don't worry, I understand!"

"Dong dong!" "Director Wan, someone is looking for you!"

Hearing Chen Chen's voice outside the door, Wan Qingshan said into the phone, "Uncle, I think someone from the Ministry of Culture is looking for me. I have to hang up first."

"Yes, yes, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan stood up and looked at the mirror nearby, showing a bright fake smile, then stood up and walked out.

"Hello, Director Wan, I'm Tang Jianli from the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture. I want to talk to you. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."

"Convenient, convenient, Director Tang, please come in."

Tang Jianli and Wan Qingshan talked in the office for half an hour before coming out.

"Director Tang, please walk slowly, I will see you off."

"Director Wan, stay back, stay back."

After watching Tang Jianli get into the car and leave, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

He didn't expect that he would get unexpected gains because of being a judge for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival.

Next year, he will sweep the domestic film festivals. No matter how unhappy those people are with him, they still have to give him awards!
He was finally proud and could vent out the anger he suffered at the Beijing University Student Film Festival!

Immediately, Wan Qingshan sighed in his heart, "The 30% share of Yumo is really worth it!"

Chen Yanfeng called Wan Qingshan before and told him, "While the news about you being a judge for the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival has spread widely, I went to ask Yumo's Grandpa Feng to help you stand up. This will let everyone know that there is someone behind you. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future. You won’t have to call for help whenever you encounter trouble.”

Because we had an agreement with Tang Jianli in the office, "If you, Wan Qingshan, apply for professional titles in two major associations, the awards at domestic film festivals next year will be biased towards you."

Therefore, when Wan Qingshan received the invitation from the Directors Guild the next day, he immediately went to the Directors Guild and applied to join the Directors Guild.

Normally, joining the Directors Guild requires some procedures, but because of yesterday's meeting, Wan Qingshan joined the Directors Guild very quickly.

The form had just been filled in, and there was no need to hand it in. The person who had been waiting on the side immediately took out a few seals and stamped them. Wan Qingshan had joined the Directors Guild.

Then, Wan Qingshan was invited to attend a meeting within the Directors Association.

Wan Qingshan sat like a log for half an hour and became the vice president and executive committee member of the Directors Association.

In the afternoon, Wan Qingshan went to the Actors Association and sat there for half an hour. When he came out, he became the vice president of the Actors Association.

Because of the meeting hosted by Tang Jianli, Wan Qingshan's influence as a jury member of the Berlin Film Festival quickly disappeared in the circle, and no one talked about it, as if it never happened.

As for the outside world, there are many reports on this matter!

Previously, Fan Baiyi switched jobs to Qingshan Film and Television Company, and now Wan Qingshan is a judge at the Berlin Film Festival.

Both events were topical events - Wan Qingshan was the central figure, so Wan Qingshan instantly became a hot figure!

All major news media began to report on Wan Qingshan's previous experiences, and some even began to make up news about Wan Qingshan in order to pursue sales, especially in terms of relationships!
Because Tang Jianli clearly expressed his support for Wanqingshan at the meeting, this matter spread among the upper echelons of the film and television industry, so the official media personally left the meeting and began to report the news about Wanqingshan.

'my country's young director Wan Qingshan, who is less than 25 years old, was invited to serve as a judge for the main competition unit of the 56th Berlin Film Festival.This means that our country's support for young directors has been fruitful, and it also means that our country's film and television industry is rapidly integrating with international standards! '.

The official media's personal exit increased the popularity, and also let the news media know that there was someone behind Wan Qingshan, otherwise the official media would not have personally exited, so they quickly removed the fabricated news.

Although the news media knows that Wan Qingshan is a difficult person to interview, among reporters, Wan Qingshan is always ranked among the top ones in terms of who is the most difficult to interview.

But they still couldn't sit still, because they couldn't make up news, and the experience in Wanqingshan had been reported, so there was no need to write any more.

So, at the strong request of the editor-in-chief, the reporters prepared to surround Wanqingshan and ask questions for interviews!
But before they could go out to besiege Wanqing Mountain - big news was revealed in "The Promise"!

Surrounding Wanqingshan and asking questions and interviews. With Wanqingshan's temper, even if he answers the questions, he will be like a veteran and will not say anything explosive.

It's different here in "The Promise". The big news that was revealed in "The Promise" is quite explosive!

So, they immediately turned around to report on "The Promise"!
The box office of "The Promise" has been decreasing every day since its release.

After "Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" came out, the box office of "The Promise" was even worse, falling below [-] million within two days.

Then - three days ago, the single-day box office of "The Promise" actually stabilized at 800 million.

For three consecutive days, the single-day box office of "The Promise" has been more than 800 million. Although it is still decreasing every day, the box office is only tens of thousands lower than the previous day, and it is as if it has not dropped.

Today, someone reported to the media that "The Promise" stole the box office of "The Great Sage," which was just released.

"The Promise" was reported to have stolen the box office of "The Great Sage"!
This breaking news was reported in turn by major news media, and the heat in Wanqing Mountain was instantly flushed to the sewer.

Then the next day, the news hot spots changed again. Most of Wan Qingshan's heat returned, but more heat was all on Fan Bayi!
The front page news is - Fan Bayi joins forces with Wan Qingshan to establish Fanfan Company!

The news reports were very detailed, except for the full number of shares Wan Qingshan held in Fanfan Company.
