Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

After the script outline was completed, Hu Weishi quickly arranged for screenwriters to translate and produce it.

After Huang Lei heard about Zhang and his party's plan, he rushed from the capital to Yueshan City in a hurry.

No way, no matter how the Beijing Film Academy is the cradle of stars, it is just a university. Like other universities in the country, it produces thousands of graduates every year. Except for some people who get opportunities early, most people also have to face employment. pressure.

Since betting on Zhang Yixing and participating in the variety show "The Birth of an Actor", this stage has provided many actors and students from Beijing Film Academy with the opportunity to show their faces, allowing audiences across the country to see their performance, and also allowing more directors to see their own strength. This provides more development opportunities.

The self-made remakes of short films that permeate this program also provide students from different departments such as the directing department, photography department, and art department with opportunities to accumulate experience.

Not every directing student will have the opportunity and financial resources to direct movies and TV series before graduation.

This time, Zhang Yixing proposed to let Beijing Film Academy students participate in foreign film shooting and production, which is also a rare opportunity for these students.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yixing, Huang Lei got out of the passenger car, grabbed Zhang Yixing's shoulders, and said repeatedly: "Yixing, come to Beiying, Beiying needs you!"

Zhang Yixing immediately shook his head like a rattle and complained: "No, the people need me more. I will devote my limited life to unlimited service to the people!"

After Zhang and his party made such a gag, Huang Lei suddenly couldn't continue what he had planned.

In the back seat of the car, two people stared at Zhang and his party outside the car through the car window. One was an old man and the other was in his prime. The two heard Zhang and his party joking through the window and couldn't help but look at each other with expressions of dumbfounding.

The young man smiled and asked, "Mr. Xie, what do you think?"

The old man, known as Mr.

Pulling Huang Lei's hand off his shoulders, Zhang and his party invited him to the Dream Weaver Courtyard.

Huang Lei blinked secretly and glanced back sideways.

Zhang and his party immediately realized that there were others in the car.

Sure enough, the car door slowly opened again, and a middle-aged man got out of the car.

Zhang and his party have been to Beijing Film Academy many times and have met this person. It is Zhang Junhui, the current president of the Beijing Film Academy.

Just as he was about to say hello, Zhang Junhui held the car door and helped an old man out of the car.

Huang Lei quickly introduced: "This is Director Xie Jin!"

Zhang and his party suddenly realized.

The representative of the third generation of Chinese directors, he is also known as the "first person" of contemporary Chinese film directors, the father of Chinese films, and the national soul of Chinese films.

Zhang Junhui supported Xie Jin and smiled at Zhang Yixing: "When Huang Lei told me about your plan, Mr. Xie happened to come to Beijing Film Academy to guide the work. He was very interested in your plan, so he came with him!" Zhang Yixing hurriedly came with him! I came here to help Xie Jin. Although I don’t know much about this old man, for a pioneer like him who once led the development of Chinese films, he is worthy of paying tribute in any case.

The great strides forward by future generations are due to the overcoming obstacles of the predecessors.

Several people came to the Dream Weaver Cultural Courtyard. The courtyard was bathed in sunshine. They could see groups of young people busy in the house and a white cat basking in the sun on the corridor.

Walking into the office, Xie Jin sat on the sofa and asked curiously: "Can you tell me more about your plan? I'm very interested!"

Zhang Yixing scratched his head and replied: "It's just an idea. It's nothing unusual if you just do it casually!"

Xie Jin shook his head and said: "No, many things you think are easy to do have just promoted the progress of the industry. For example, your "Kung Fu Panda" may seem to you just to make some money abroad, but for As for the entire Chinese animation industry, it has strengthened the confidence of many practitioners. I have discussed with others that after this movie, the number of practitioners and investors involved in this industry increased by at least 10%, and even the wages of grassroots animation practitioners. There has been a significant improvement. Don’t underestimate these changes. A single spark can start a prairie fire. When people later look back on the real rise of domestic animation, your “Kung Fu Panda” may be the source!”

After a pause, Xie Jin continued: "And your little movie, the effect is almost the same as animation. Before you, the directors who could achieve success from abroad were either big directors like Yimou and Kaige, or Jackie Chan Such a Kung Fu superstar, and after you succeed..."

Having said this, Xie Jin hesitated and seemed a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yixing smiled and continued: "After I became successful, many film companies and directors were thinking that a layman like Zhang Yixing, a young boy, can make a movie and make a lot of money, so I can do it too!"

Seeing that Zhang and his party were very free and easy, Xie Jin couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "Yes, many people think so."

Dean Zhang Junhui also answered next to him: "Yixing, you don't know that in the past, those students in the directing department all aimed at Zhang Yimou and the domestic market. Since the success of "A Little Thing About First Love", these people's My ambitions suddenly skyrocketed, and I was both happy and sad at the same time. The happy thing is that when making movies, you should have the ambition to become an international director, but the sad thing is that I’m afraid that these little guys don’t know how high the sky is!”

Zhang Yixing laughed, "People are not frivolous and waste their youth!"

"But you're not frivolous!" Zhang Junhui sighed.

Zhang Yixing complained in his heart: Because the combined age of his previous life and now is almost the same as yours!
Zhang Junhui continued: "It's okay to be arrogant and let the market educate you! But if you don't have the ambition to become an internationally famous director, you will never become a great director!"

Xie Jin added: "The reason why I am interested in the plan you proposed is because in my opinion, our movie has gone astray!"

Zhang Junhui and Huang Lei were immediately attracted by Xie Jin's words.

Xie Jin slowly said: "Now the trend of co-productions has picked up, but I think that a real co-production does not mean that Chinese movies use a few crooked actors, or that foreign blockbusters let Chinese actors show their faces. The film is only a co-production on the surface. Apart from the profit for the actors, it has little significance for the development of the industry.

And what you proposed, allowing Chinese film practitioners to participate in foreign film shooting and production, can actually promote the progress of the industry. After all, we have to admit that the film production technology of Western countries, and even Bollywood in India, is much better than ours. worth to learn from!

When the people you mentioned apply their experience and skills in foreign filmmaking to our own films, only then can Chinese films truly rise in the world!

And this is what you call doing it smoothly! "(End of chapter)
