Chapter 821 Add Friend

Beijing.

General Administration of Culture.

Ye Wen took a kettle and sprayed water on the green plants on the windowsill.

After leaving Tan Yue, he met with four other directors.

The country can have policies to support domestic films going abroad. Such a great opportunity is rare. If it is placed in front of a few people, of course they will not miss it and agree without saying a word.

Ye Wen has great trust in the directorial abilities of the five of them, because they represent the highest level of domestic film production.

However, this time, after all, she is going to the global film market and the more competitive foreign film market. She is still a little uneasy and the prospects are not optimistic. As the director of the General Administration of Culture, she is under great pressure.

After spraying the green plants, Ye Wen got close to the flowers and smelled the faint floral fragrance, which made her mind feel much calmer.

"I hope we can achieve results this time."

Putting the water bottle aside, Ye Wen returned to the desk and sat down. Looking at the messages sent in the mobile phone group, I suddenly came up with an idea - to create a group for these five people.

They are the first batch of directors whose Chinese films have been released globally. If they have any questions or experiences, they can communicate in the group. For them, it can be considered as a group to keep warm.

There is not only competition between these five people, but also a cooperative relationship. The current goal is to promote Chinese films to the world. There will definitely be many problems along the way. Ye Wen can only provide limited help with professional film issues, and these five are all top directors. Maybe someone’s idea , can play a key role in promoting domestic films to go global.

Thinking of this, Ye Wen became more determined to join the group, and then picked up her cell phone to call them one by one.

It would be a bit abrupt to suddenly join a group for no reason, and there had been more or less fierce competition between them before.

Whenever a movie by two top directors is released, it will be compared by netizens who love to watch, creating a stir on the Internet. Ye Wen doesn't know what kind of relationship they have in private.

Ye Wen took the lead in calling Sun Daohao.

"Ye Bureau."

"Director Sun."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Ye Wen explained her idea of ​​​​wanting to win the group.

"That would be great, so we can interact with each other as well, and it's a unique opportunity for us."

Sun Daohao agreed with this.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wen called the other four people.

Their answers were basically the same as Sun Daohao's. They were helpful for communication and progress, and they agreed to join the group.

Ye Wen dragged five people into the group chat and changed the name of the group to 'Movie Exchange Group'.

The five people changed their nicknames to their own names, and everyone began to say hello in the group.

"Pakho Chang: Hello everyone!"

"Xu Shaoqing: Hello, Director Zhang, hello everyone!"

"Tan Yue: Hello, teachers!"

"Shen Chenglin: Hello!"

"Sun Daohao: I am honored to have the opportunity to communicate with you. I will trouble you if I encounter problems in the future."

The five of us are not very familiar with each other, and it is quite awkward to communicate for the first time in the group.

"Pakhao Zhang: Director Sun, you are too polite. I'm afraid we will have many questions to ask you for advice in the future."

"Sun Daohao: I am getting older, and I will still have to rely on you in the future."

Sun Daohao is the oldest among these five people, and he is highly respected.

"Ye Wen: I hope you can communicate more when you encounter problems and work together for the rise of our Chinese film industry."

Bright Entertainment Company.

President's office.

Tan Yue had been watching the chat in the group without participating too much. He had a strange feeling.

Several of the people in the group were former competitors, and they were defeated by me, which caused quite a stir on the Internet.

It's a bit awkward to chat in a group now.

The other four people have been famous in the director circle for many years, and it goes without saying that they must have a lot of arrogance in them. When they were defeated by a young man, Tan Yue couldn't figure out what attitude they had towards him.

The chat in the group continues.

"Shen Chenglin: I understand, Ye Ju."

"Tan Yue: Got it."

"Xu Shaoqing: I will trouble you all in the future."

"Sun Daohao: Got it, Ye Bureau."

"Pakho Chang: OK!"

The chat in the group ended so suddenly.

Tan Yue looked at the profile pictures of several people and hesitated whether to add them as friends.

As one of the first batch of directors to go abroad, it is inevitable to encounter problems. You will definitely chat in the group and add friends to show your attitude in advance.

Tan Yue has always maintained respect for these four directors. In the highly competitive entertainment industry, there is no shortage of strength.

"Forget it, let's make friends again after a while." Tan Yue felt a strange feeling lingering in his heart.

There will be a lot of time in the future, and there will be many opportunities for chatting. It is not too late to add friends after we become familiar with each other. Besides, now that I have friends, I don’t know what to talk about, which will only make it more awkward.

Tan Yue turned off his phone and put it aside, opened the documents in front of him and continued working.

‘Ding dong’.

The phone rang and the screen lit up. Someone added him as a friend.

Tan Yue picked up the phone in confusion. When he saw the other party, his pupils dilated slightly, showing a slightly surprised expression.

The person who added him as a friend was Sun Daohao.

Some time ago, the competition between the two people was the focus of attention on the entire Internet and even the entire entertainment industry. "Infernal Affairs" defeated "The Dark Forest" to become the Spring Festival box office champion. The box office gap between the two movies is still not small.

As a domestic science fiction film that Sun Daohao has been preparing for many years, the effort he put into "Dark Forest" can be imagined. Just the post-production alone exceeded all the production processes of "Infernal Affairs".

It is difficult for ordinary directors to let go of the barriers in their hearts.

What surprised Tan Yue even more was that Sun Daohao took the initiative to add him as a friend, but he broke Sun Daohao's box office champion record that he had maintained for more than ten years.

At this time, Sun Daohao could actually take the initiative to add him as a friend.

Tan Yue agreed to the friend request, but before he could send a message, Sun Daohao sent it first.

"Hello, Director Tan!"

"Director Sun, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Tan Yue wanted to send a message, but he couldn't think of a topic to chat for a while. Just as he was thinking, Sun Daohao's message came again.

"Infernal Affairs is a great movie. I am convinced that Dark Forest lost to such a good movie."

"It was just luck! Dark Forest is also very good. I saw it in the cinema. It is more exciting than foreign science fiction blockbusters."

"I am also forced by the situation. On the surface, the audience is disappointed with domestic science fiction movies, but more disappointed with our directors. Seeing that domestic science fiction movies have not shown any signs of progress, I am also anxious."

"I understand."

The older generation of directors all shoulder a responsibility.

Tan Yue suddenly found that he could not keep up the topic again and fell into embarrassment.

But Sun Daohao on the other side did not think so. He had only told these ideas to his friends around him. He couldn't help but want to talk about them when he chatted with Tan Yue for the first time.

Sun Daohao always wanted to talk to Tan Yue about his ideas about movies, but he never had the chance.

Through his friends, he could get Tan Yue's contact information, but after all, the two had never communicated with each other, and adding directly would seem very abrupt.

This time, Ye Wen suddenly proposed to pull the five of them into a group chat. Sun Daohao agreed so happily. The communication problem was one aspect, and more importantly, he could take this opportunity to add Tan Yue's contact information and chat with the leader of the new generation of directors to see his views on movies.

As for the fact that "Dark Forest" lost to "Infernal Affairs", Sun Daohao never took it to heart and was not angry.

On the contrary, he was still pleased with Tan Yue's excellence, and his own box office record of more than ten years was broken, which made him even happier.

The road for domestic films to go abroad is extremely difficult. After so many years and generations of directors' efforts, they have never achieved real success, which inevitably makes people feel a little desperate.

In recent years, the domestic film industry has been continuously invaded by capital. Sun Daohao originally thought that it would be difficult to see hope in a short time.

Until the appearance of Tan Yue, he felt that there was a glimmer of hope again.

Among the many young directors in China, there is such an excellent young director as Tan Yue. Sun Daohao is very happy. In his opinion, he should learn more from Tan Yue.

If a director always holds his own airs, he will never make progress.

Sun Daohao sent a message to Tan Yue.

"I have seen all your movies, and I like every one of them."

Tan Yue felt a little embarrassed that he, who had only been in the film industry as a director for a few years, would be so concerned by an old senior.

Sun Daohao continued to send messages.

"I think your idea is very bold. Few directors in the industry dare to make movies with a small audience in the entire market like you."

"In fact, I didn't think so much when making these movies. I think as long as the audience likes it, it's fine."

"That is also a kind of strength. Which director doesn't want to make movies that the audience likes, but there are not many who can do it like you."

As the two talked more and more, the awkward feeling in Tan Yue's heart gradually disappeared, and he would also take the initiative to ask some questions.

Sun Daohao shared some insights about movies.

When he saw Tan Yue's reply, he would stop and think for a moment and savor it carefully. He didn't look like an old director with decades of experience at all, but more like a new director.

This exchange made Sun Daohao look forward to it for a long time. After the two started chatting, he forgot to drink tea, and the cup was completely cold.

Especially the techniques and skills of filming, which made him feel very useful.

Half an hour had passed before he knew it.

The two had not met and were still chatting on the phone. Sun Daohao felt that it would be inappropriate to continue to disturb them, so he resisted the urge to continue chatting.

"I'm sorry, Director Tan, I have disturbed you for so long. Thank you for sharing. You still have work to do. We can discuss issues related to movies when we have time."

"I have also benefited a lot from chatting with you. We will talk again when we have time."

After putting down his phone, Sun Daohao recorded what he had gained today.

Tan Yue was doing the same thing.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, especially in the entertainment industry where gossip is flying all over the sky.

The General Administration of Culture has selected a group of directors, and the news that their films will be released simultaneously around the world has begun to spread through gossip.

What the Internet lacks the least is the melon-eating crowd. No matter whether your melon is authentic or not, they will eat it first.

The news quickly fermented on the Internet, and for a time, some movie lovers were discussing this matter on major social software.

If this is true, it will likely become a historic moment for domestic films, which is also what domestic audiences have always wished for.

Of course, netizens are also indispensable for discussing the authenticity of the matter. The audience knows the current situation of domestic films best. Is it a big step to start the global release of domestic films at this time? The possibility of hitting a wall is too great.

When it comes to movies, the movie forum is quite lively.

One person posted: "Are domestic films really going to go abroad and be released globally?"

Once the post was published, it quickly attracted discussions among movie fans on many forums.

"I think this matter is most likely true. There is no smoke without fire. This matter is being talked about on the Internet."

"What's going on? Why don't I know what you are talking about?"

“Are we about to witness the rise of domestic films?”

"I heard that this time it is different from the previous domestic films going abroad. This time it is supported by national policies. We have already discussed it with other countries and are waiting for the director to make the film and release it."

"There are five directors in the first batch, and they are all the top directors in the country. I don't know if Tan Yue is among them."

Magic City.

Taking advantage of the break, Jiang Bei started hanging out in the Weibo movie topic group.

"What's going on? Is this true?"

Jiang Bei frowned and was shocked when he saw someone online saying that the General Administration of Culture had selected a group of directors to make a new movie that would be released around the world.

This is a rare opportunity for any capable director in China.

After the shock, Jiang Bei inevitably felt a little depressed.

Tan Yue, Sun Daohao, Shen Chenglin, Zhang Pakho, and Xu Shaoqing. Looking at the names of these five people mentioned on the Internet, he felt that the authenticity of this matter was 90%.

They represent the highest level of domestic films.

Jiangbei is naturally eager to be included in this list, but he is just a TV drama director.

Even if I am a film director now, it is not very likely that I will be selected into the first batch of directors. I still know very well what kind of abilities I have.

Jiang Bei closed the computer page and lit a cigarette for himself. After seeing this news, I will finally be a little stimulated.

The most important thing now is to work hard to improve your directing abilities and speed up your transformation into a film director.

Only in this way can we keep up with others. Otherwise, other people's movies will be released abroad, and I will still be struggling in the TV drama directing circle.

Jiang Bei blew out smoke rings, feeling nervous and urgent in his heart, reaching unprecedented heights. If I don't fight hard again, even if this opportunity does come before me in the future, I won't have the strength to seize it.
