Chapter 22 The Call to the United Nations...

The beginning of the new year in 2006 was undoubtedly very shocking to the entire film industry.

Most of the directors of the older generation, no matter whether they are in the semi-retired state or in the state of exhaustion, announced their retirement on this day as if they had made an agreement, especially the more famous and more known as the living fossils of the Chinese film industry. The more decisively the directors retreat...

Not even sloppy and hypocritical.

The most representative figure here is Chen Yuanlong.

Who is Chen Yuanlong?

The founder of the most glorious era of Chinese martial arts movies!

The creator of China's first martial arts movie to enter the Hollywood film circle, the first Chinese martial arts master who won an overseas film festival nomination and award, and the representative figure of the peak era of Chinese martial arts movies, there is no one...

He also announced his retirement!

Netizens are dumbfounded.

Can't fathom the situation.

It even feels unreasonable.

Why?

Because at the end of last year, Chen Yuanlong just wanted to announce on Weibo that he wanted to make a martial arts historical movie with a philosophical meaning!

Then he vowed that that movie would be his peak movie, not one of them, and he would try to win an Oscar...

In terms of publicity, feelings, and dreams, in short, Tianyu has put all the elements of this new movie into full play.

Everyone praised Chen Yuanlong for being old and strong. At the same time, because of the various relationships in the publicity, netizens' expectations for this movie exploded. They all said that they owed a movie ticket and could make up for it this time...

In short, the momentum was quite fierce.

Then……

Chen Yuanlong suddenly announced his retirement.

Moreover, he announced his retirement directly on the morning of the first day of the new year.

The new movie is busy for my son Chen Huaxing, and I quit.

This unexpected scene,

Netizens can not be confused?

It's like you took off your pants and announced that you were coming, but the woman didn't come to relatives, the flames were burning fiercely, and in the end...

You suddenly quit and wanted to go to the bathroom to pick up soap!

What the hell!

Director Chen...

What are you doing?

Swearing to spend a lot of money to make a joke for everyone?

……………………………

Everyone was confused on the first day of the new year in 2006.

Chen Yuanlong lit a cigarette and looked into the distance quietly, his expression did not show much regret, but a faint sense of gratitude.

It is impossible to continue to be a director, and it is impossible to do it again in this life.

He also retired to plant flowers, and occasionally gave lessons to Yanying's gang.

Isn't he fragrant on such a day?

Is it the day he yearns for in the future?

As for...

Why did you suddenly choose to retire instead of waiting until the film was finished?

Is there even a question?

Martial arts movies are outdated, and the only thing that can be hyped is the concept. If it is actually shot, the box office may not necessarily be high, and there is a high probability that it will lose money and make money...

Impact Oscar?

He thought about it, and thought about winning an Oscar for Best Screenplay or Best Foreign Language Film for his martial arts film.

Wouldn't it be great if that was the case?

However, since watching the Spring Festival Gala yesterday, he suddenly stopped thinking about it. He suddenly felt that at his age, it was time to make room for those novices who had just entered the industry. Shit right?

After the Spring Festival Gala, it took him less than half a minute to convince himself.

After convincing myself, I suddenly felt that my heart was quite broad-minded, and suddenly felt that my personal accomplishment was not too high.

After thinking about it like this, Chen Yuanlong suddenly had a clear idea, his spirit brightened, and he felt cute.

certainly……

Such almost self-hypnotic words are covering up a sad fact.

That is……

Don't you retire and stay and wait to die, waiting for your reputation to be ruined?

This year Lu Yuan's Spring Festival Gala exploded, to a height that shouldn't have been there.

Next year's Spring Festival Gala?

Whoever gets on will die!

If he were twenty years younger, Chen Yuanlong would have great ambitions, occasionally having unrealistic fantasies and pursuits.

I feel that I can challenge Lu Yuan, and even arrogantly think that I can beat Lu Yuan!

but now……

He is naturally aware of what he should have and what he cannot get.

The brilliance in the brilliance is certainly important, but compared to the ethereal brilliance, the most unacceptable thing is not to be guaranteed at the end of the festival.

He himself is a legend of the martial arts era, and he wants to maintain the legend of this life...

What a tragedy if the Spring Festival Gala is ruined?

"Ding dong."

"dad."

"What's wrong?"

"The average ratings and the highest ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are out."

"How many?"

"The average audience rating is 76.4, and the highest audience rating is 80.3..."

"Oh."

After listening to the data his son told him, Chen Yuanlong suddenly showed a relieved smile.

His decision is wise.

……………………………

In fact, there is no so-called competitive relationship in the director circle. Except for some capital transactions and unscrupulous transactions, the audience basically has the final say. After all, whether a movie is good or not, the box office is the most intuitive guarantee.

but……

There are still many young directors who have complained that some directors of the older generation are eating their laurels and suppressing some young directors with rich ideas, and this kind of complaint is not uncommon, especially the thorns of a few young directors, always Take Wei Fatzi and other outstanding young directors as examples to benchmark some old antique directors.

After all, this is normal. Which industry is not like this? The new will always challenge the old, which has existed since ancient times.

However, on the first day of the new year, when the veteran directors announced their retirement, all the resentful new directors were ecstatic for a while, and then felt an indescribable sense of emptiness for no apparent reason.

The first day of the new year in 2006 is definitely a day that shocked the entire film industry...

Everyone is puzzled.

It doesn't taste right.

What day is today? Why are they all in time for today?

However, when the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala were officially announced, everyone suddenly understood!

The ratings are so terrible, and there is a high probability that the director of next year's Spring Festival Gala will be selected from among these older generation directors...

Then!

Who dares to go up to the top?

With such a terrifying ratings, the next Spring Festival Gala will definitely be compared with this year's Spring Festival Gala.

so……

Isn't this a joke?

The older a person is, the more he doesn't want to lose his life at the end of the year, and he doesn't want to be meritorious, but to be free from faults.

Who wants to leave a stain at the end? And this taint might still be compared by future generations...

Who can stand this?

so……

Stop playing!

I slipped away early.

Everyone who suddenly realized it spread their hands in a complicated mood...

In particular, An Wei, the person in charge of Tianyu, sighed deeply.

"One Spring Festival Gala, directly caught the movie industry off guard and directly changed the era?"

He unconsciously sent out such a sentence of emotion, and after the emotion was over, he closed his eyes.

What can he say?

………………………………

very realistic.

After the end of this wave of Spring Festival Gala, the film industry has ushered in a wave of new students who don't know if it counts or not.

Of course, this is a small area.

Compared with the whole world, Huaxia's film industry can only be regarded as a small area.

The popularity of this year's Spring Festival Gala is extremely crazy, and almost the entire world's media are discussing the situation and programs of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Then……

Every program that Lu Yuan participated in has become a hot spot that shocked everyone.

At the beginning of 2006, Lu Yuan brought a wave of bombing to the world!

"I've watched it over and over again, and it's just amazing, literally, amazing!"

"..."

"I think the program "Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands" should be one of the few national treasure-level dances in human history, and, more importantly, Lu Yuan gave this dance a breath of life, but these children gave The soul of this dance, their contribution to this dance is no less than that of Lu Yuan, I personally propose that this dance should be listed as a Chinese national treasure and a human heritage!"

"..."

Big Year.

Yanjing.

During a work meeting, Mr. Li stood up and began to speak seriously about the report in his hand.

His voice is sonorous and powerful, not like an old man who is already very old.

Everyone was surprised why Mr. Li, who had always ignored these things, suddenly made this report.

But when he finished speaking, the surrounding applause rang out.

unanimous vote!

pass!

A few days after the meeting ended, the relevant departments of China received a call.

After receiving this call, everyone's expressions were very serious and cautious.

because……

This call is from the United Nations!

………………………………………

After the Spring Festival Gala is over, Lu Yuan has nothing to do.

There is no other work for the time being.

Just have a good New Year.

To be honest, Lu Yuan still likes Chinese New Year.

Able to put down all work and be a salted fish with no burden, visiting relatives, visiting relatives and friends...

Good.

Lu Yuan and his wife took their children and began to shuttle among Lu Yuan's relatives.

Of course, it is inevitable to be asked to take a group photo and sign an autograph, and Lu Yuan didn't show off, and gave each of his relatives a piece of ghost painting with his name on it...

Seeing the happy faces of his relatives, Lu Yuan thickened his skin.

Ok……

Although, the handwriting is still as bad as ever, full of artistic style as always, but...

Everyone is happy, right?

From the first day of the first lunar month to the eighth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yuan basically took care of the baby, and occasionally lay down with Wang Jinxue to do some work that everyone knew, and the days passed quickly.

However, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yuan received a call.

"What? The United Nations looking for me?"

"..."

"Mr. Li, huh? The United Nations post office has taken a fancy to "Avalokitesvara" and wants to issue a set of stamps reflecting the art of disabled people? "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands"?"

"..."

"Oh oh oh."

After answering the call, Lu Yuan scratched his head, feeling a little dazed, and then called Chen Liangang again.

"Plop!"

"What! Director Lu, is what you said true? This... this... oh my god!..."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan heard the sound of something falling on the ground...

Chen Lian, who was having breakfast just now, was scared to pee!
