Chapter 970 964 Director's Temperament

Chapter 970 964. The temperament of the director

Xu Xin was actually quite curious about the current situation of Director Zhang Yang.

After all... after everyone expressed their opinions at the Tokyo Film Festival last time, everyone withdrew, except for the assistant director in his crew who went up to receive an award.

This guy is actually quite talented, that's the truth.

He is not the best among the sixth generation, but not bad either.

But... I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions.

Although Xu Xin was curious, he didn't want to ask more.

And he also gave him face.

After all, they are "old friends" meeting.

But sometimes, the director class is actually a very realistic group.

When everyone works together, they see each other everywhere, calling each other Director Zhang and Director Wang.

In terms of titles, there is no special distinction between the primary and the secondary.

But in fact, in this circle, classes have always existed. This is true in terms of awards, honors, box office, influence, and so on.

Zhang Yang is very powerful.

But in this kind of occasion that best demonstrates the status of a director, even though he is a generation older than Xu Xin, he still has to come over to greet and chat in person.

However, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Yifei.

This is not because of low emotional intelligence... but the tone of the entire award ceremony.

The protagonist today is the director.

If a director bows to an actor, no matter who sees him, he will definitely not be seen in the next session.

Liu Yifei didn't mind.

Anyway, she is wearing a mask now, and it is the time when she is like a fairy, so she doesn't need to care about worldly things.

But she was next to Xu Xin and could clearly hear Zhang Yang's words:

"Director Xu, has your new movie been finished recently?"

"Yes, that movie was finished quite quickly. What about Director Zhang? What are you busy with recently?"

"I... Hey, I'm busy with nothing. I've been exploring documentary-type themes recently and plan to ask Director Xu for advice."

"Haha, that's too polite, Director Zhang. If others hear this, they might think something is wrong with me. I dare not say that."

"Haha~ That won't do. After watching "A Bite of China", everyone will say that it has reached the ceiling of documentaries."

"Don't, haha, if you keep praising me, I will fly."

"Ha... Oh, by the way, Director Xu, I heard that you are cooperating with the college to prepare a documentary? What's the progress now?"

"The crew has been formed."

"So fast?"

"Also... It's not fast, the project was launched before the New Year. What, Director Zhang is interested? "

"Haha, to be honest with Director Xu, I am really interested."

"Well... let's work together if we have a chance in the future? This movie is not so much my idea, but a documentary produced by the college. I'm back to teach at the school, and this is a research project assigned by the college. It's a small documentary, not difficult, so this time, from the director to the crew, they are all graduate students from the college. It's more of a practice than a documentary. Apart from anything else, if Director Zhang is really interested, I think it's a waste of talent, not to mention whether there is a director candidate. Next time, next time we have a chance to work together. "

"Ah~ So that's it..."

Sister Shenxian listened to the conversation between the two, and there was a look of interest in her fairy eyes.

Why do I feel... this person has a story?

And finding Xu Xin is for a reason.

It's just that Xu Xin blocked the road very tightly and didn't give any chance.

What's the situation?

She took out her phone, dimmed the screen brightness, and made sure that unless someone got close to her face, she would never see the search content on the screen, and then searched the other person's name directly.

At first glance, it was quite surprising.

"Shower", "Falling Leaves Return to Roots", "Yesterday", "Unmanned Driving" is the one by Gao Yuanyuan, right? ... "Flying Over the Nursing Home"?

Instantly, her pupils dilated slightly.

Then she exited the webpage and turned off her phone.

At this time, Wu Nan, the screenwriter of "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", came over:

"Director Xu~Director Zhang~"

"Hey, Teacher Wu."

Xu Xin smiled and greeted.

In Liu Yifei's eyes, the screenwriter of "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is also quite interesting.

Apart from the greeting at the beginning, he hardly talked to Zhang Yang.

But, in the small circle of three people except himself, there was no contradiction at all, and they used "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" as the topic and chatted very lively.

Tsk.

Soon, the three of them were almost done with the greetings, and Su Meng came to remind them:

"Brother Xu, the red carpet has begun to line up over there."

Xu Xin took the initiative to end the topic.

The other two also said goodbye politely.

As they followed Su Meng to the red carpet, Liu Yifei covered her mouth with her hand and asked in a low voice:

"This Zhang Yang was banned because of the Tokyo award for "Over the Old Folks' Home"? "

"It's a soft ban, I guess."

Xu Xin responded:

"Otherwise, how could such a director make a documentary?"

"...What did you talk about that day?"

She didn't go to the Tokyo Film Festival. She originally planned to go there on the day of the film festival awards ceremony, but Xu Xin withdrew.

So, Xu Xin told her the story in general.

Sister Fairy nodded slightly:

"You don't even have this kind of awareness, you're really asking for trouble."

Hearing this, Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"What are you talking about, American? Isn't it your fault?"

"Pa!"

"Go to hell!"

Slapping Xu Xin on the back, the fairy sister was full of anger:

"A dog can't spit out ivory! Just wait, I will teach you how to be a man in 15 years!"

"Oh?"

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows:

"A letter?"

"Yeah."

Speaking of this, the fairy sister was beaming with joy.

"Now it's the probation period. The three-year probation period, as long as I pass it, by the end of 2015 or the first half of 2016, I will have an ID card!"

This was a pleasant surprise to Xu Xin.

"Then you must be careful in your words and deeds in the next few years."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

As she spoke, the fairy sister, who was in a good mood, accidentally broke the lower half of her mask.

She smiled and showed her teeth.

Xu Xin's heart was broken.

But neither of them noticed... In this environment where the more people there were, and the more colleagues who knew the two, Liu Yifei's "angry" slap made many people tremble with fear.

Good guy...

Director Xu, you hit me just like that?

Perhaps she slapped me in front of the fans, and the relationship between the two might be rumored to be "close friends".

But if she slapped me in front of this group of people, there would be only one possibility.

This is a woman who can make trouble for the prince of the Northwest circle.

Just based on this point, the power behind her...

It's really huge.

...

The entire red carpet waiting area is divided into the inner and outer fields.

The front field is a place for everyone to chat, socialize, or smoke.

And under the leadership of Su Meng, we entered the back field, where we saw many temporary chairs and many guests who were present today.

There was Xu Zheng who stood up subconsciously, and Lou Ye who waved at him.

And Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo and others.

Many people were there.

The seats were placed in rows, and everyone sat in random positions, but the place with the most empty seats was the first row closest to the door.

In that row, Xu Xin saw Zhang Guoli, Wang Xuexin, Gao Qunshu and others.

And Feng Xiaogang, Da Wang and Er Wang, Liu Zhenyun...

And Li Xuejian, who was smiling and waving at him.

If you really want to talk about the people sitting in the whole row, most of them are actually a group of people with obvious "regional" symbols.

But they were not full, but there were many empty seats.

At this time, Xu Xin did not see anyone from Yuntu...

Or, even if the other party came, he might not know them. After all, he was not involved in the management of Yuntu, and he had never seen what the producers of these films looked like.

And now, with his arrival... Actually, I have to say something that sounds a bit nonsense at first, but is actually very realistic.

That is... when he walked in with Liu Yifei, some people lowered their voices a lot.

Some even stopped talking.

They just stared at him.

All of a sudden, the decibel level of the entire venue began to drop.

Feng Xiaogang, who was chatting with Da Wang in the first row, subconsciously raised his head, with a little confusion in his eyes.

Then he looked around and his eyes fell on Xu Xin.

When he looked up, Da Wang also turned his head in the same direction.

Then it was Xiao Wang.

Then it was Zhang Guoli, Liu Zhenyun and others.

Finally, Wang Xuexin, Xu Fan, Zhou Xun and others in the first row all turned their heads.

No one communicated.

But for some reason, Xu Xin was the focus.

Everyone was looking at him.

But everyone looked at him with all kinds of thoughts.

Until...

The atmosphere became quieter and quieter.

So quiet that even Liu Yifei, who was just here tonight, felt her heart in her throat.

What are these people... doing?

Why did it suddenly become like this?

Subconsciously, she looked up at Xu Xin.

There was only one meaning in her eyes:

"Where to sit?"

Xu Xin didn't look at her, and didn't even feel her gaze.

Instead, he suddenly nodded.

His eyes fell on Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting in the middle of the first row.

The other party was looking at him.

He also saw the other party.

So, he nodded politely.

Then, without even looking at Liu Yifei, he came to the first row in two or three steps under this quiet gaze.

Then...

He passed Gao Qunshu, who was sitting at the edge with a mobile phone in his hand, and came directly to Feng Xiaogang, who happened to be in the middle.

In the eyes of everyone, as those empty seats were passed by Xu Xin little by little...

This guy didn't really want to sit next to Feng Xiaogang, right?

And this idea had just been born.

They couldn't see it, but Liu Yifei saw it in her extremely clear eyes, and she noticed a subtle movement of Feng Xiaogang.

Originally, he turned his head to chat with the king next to him.

But after turning his head, his body had turned to the direction where he and Xu Xin were now.

And as Xu Xin walked in...

His hands were placed on his knees.

That was a reflex action.

A conditioned reflex action when a person wants to get up.

Liu Yifei even clearly saw the vitiligo patches on his hands.

It was no secret that his vitiligo had spread to his face. But it was obvious that he had put on makeup today, so there was no vitiligo on his face, but the vitiligo on his hands could not be concealed.

She was born with empathy for this kind of patient because of her family education, so she naturally didn't have any superiority mentality.

She just wondered if the other party would really stand up to greet her.

But...

Xu Xin's pace suddenly quickened.

Then he took the initiative to extend his hand, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand in the direction that Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting, could reach.

"Director Feng, hello. Long time no see."

The last time they met was at the award ceremony where Yang Mi won the Golden Horse Award for Gu Xiaomeng.

But they didn't socialize much.

During the stage of "The Sound of the Wind", Hua Yi obviously didn't take him seriously, otherwise Su Youpeng and others would definitely not come. At that time, it was one of the few and also the last time for the two to socialize.

Xu Xin naturally saw his action, so he quickened his pace.

Feng Xiaogang was naturally an old man, and when he saw Xu Xin extending his hand, he didn't stand up, but directly extended his hand:

"Well, Xiao Xu, long time no see."

Then, Xu Xin sat next to him.

Finally, the first time the two of them were in the same frame, it just appeared like this.

Someone had already secretly taken out their mobile phones.

Then Xu Xin leaned over and shook hands with the big king and the second king and said hello.

Then came Zhang Guoli and others who were farther away.

After saying hello, some discussions started again.

Everyone was discussing this scene... Although the current Beijing circle is not in its heyday, at least its position is still stable. And the Northwest circle... they were really too fierce last year.

So far, three movies with a box office of over 1 billion have directly propped up the box office ceiling of the Chinese-language film industry.

Let alone the background, in this world of fame and fortune filled with money and interests, whoever has a high box office is the boss.

And the fact that the Northwest circle can rise now can almost be said to be supported by this young director.

This matter is no secret in the circle.

Yuntu has shares in Nifeng.

Why does Nifeng get such a good thing at a bargain price?

Why has the Northwest circle been so appealing in recent years?

If they were really capable, they would have risen long ago, why would they have been in decline for so many years?

In addition, Yang Mi's career is in full swing...

Some things, even if there is no real hammer, everyone can guess the "truth" just by guessing.

No one doubts whether Xu Xin is qualified to sit next to Feng Xiaogang.

No one even considered whether the seat next to Feng Xiaogang should be left to Chen Kaige.

At this moment, looking at the two people whispering...Everyone may have hundreds of thoughts in their minds, but there is one thing in common.

That is...

"What are these two talking about?"

...

"Is Xiao Xu's movie finished?"

"It's finished, but the post-production hasn't started yet."

"What?"

"Because I'm lazy."

"Haha~ How old are you to be lazy?"

"Look at what you said, I'm not a model worker. Besides, Yang Mi went to the United States, and the child is very noisy at home every day, crying when he can't find his mother. I think I can be free after she returns to China."

"That's true. How old is the child at home?"

"More than three years old."

"Oh? So soon? In kindergarten, right?"

"Yes, he should go to school in September this year Middle class."

"Okay, it's fast enough. But children are like this. My daughter was this small when she was born. She was like a kitten in my arms. As a result, she is different every day... Children grow up too fast. From birth to understanding, it's just a blink of an eye."

"Yes, I feel the same way now. When they were just born, they couldn't even open their eyes. Now they call their dad every day... I hope they grow up quickly, but I don't want them to grow up..."

"Hahaha~ Parents have this mentality and they all go through this."

Even Liu Yifei was a little surprised.

Who would have thought?

In this "king meeting king" scene, the two were actually talking about children.

Never mentioned movies.

But they were talking about babies...

But...from her point of view, this scene was the most ideal thing.

There was no conflict.

Everyone maintained a decent attitude.

Didn't you see that the big king and the little king ignored Xu Xin.

Except for shaking hands, the two turned their heads away and chatted with others.

They didn't even pay attention to me.

Liu Yifei didn't think these two people were small-minded... The fact is, if these two people really chatted and laughed with Xu Xin and me, there would probably be a large number of "escapees" in the Beijing circle tomorrow...

If the boss can't keep a high profile, how can he convince the public?

At the moment, everyone's handling method is very smart.

The director talks to the director.

Others greet politely, keep restraint, maintain distance and alienation.

It's the best result.

She was thinking, and suddenly realized that it was a little dark in front of her.

She looked up subconsciously...

Chen Kaige, who still smelled of cigarettes, came over at some point.

"..."

Liu Yifei's mouth twitched.

I thought, why are you joining in the fun at this time?

Xu Xin, who was chatting with Feng Xiaogang, looked up, was stunned at first, and then suddenly stood up.

"Director Chen."

"Yes, Xiao Xu."

Chen Kaige had the demeanor of a master, and his face was calm.

Xu Xin smiled and said:

"Please sit down."

When he said this, Feng Xiaogang was a little surprised.

He subconsciously glanced in Liu Yifei's direction.

To be honest.

That place is quite empty.

Chen Kaige waved his hand:

“It’s OK, just sit down.”

“No, no, no, I think it hasn’t started yet, so I’m just going to have a cigarette. You two can chat.”

Xu Xin’s smile was so sincere.

After hearing his words, Liu Yifei also stood up.

She gave her seat to Chen Hong.

“Mr. Chen, please sit here.”

“Ah?…Thank you, Yifei.”

After Chen Hong’s polite thanks, Xu Xin waved to Feng Xiaogang:

“Director Feng, you guys chat, I’m going to have a cigarette. See you later.”

“Yes, see you later, Xiao Xu.”

In the end, the meeting between the kings of Beijing and Northwest circles ended hastily with the “intrusion” of Director Chen, who was born in the Northwest but rooted in Beijing.

Everyone watching felt a little regretful.

This meeting was too short.

It ended before we had enough?

He was so quiet that we didn't even know what these people were talking about... Didn't Chen Kaige come here to make people laugh?

What does it have to do with you?

As the person involved, after Xu Xin left, Chen Kaige turned his head and asked Feng Xiaogang:

"What are you talking about?"

"..."

Feng Xiaogang glanced at him, smiled and shook his head and said:

"Nothing, just chatting."

Chen Kaige held his hands on his stomach and nodded slowly:

"Don't look at his young age, this guy is not simple."

"..."

Feng Xiaogang's mouth twitched.

Is there any need for you to talk nonsense?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is not simple.

Of course, this is just a whisper in his heart, and it must not be said.

Then I heard Chen Kaige continue to say:

"He and Zhang Yimou are almost cut from the same cloth. On the surface, he never argues with anyone and always greets everyone with a smile. But in private, he is as sharp as a knife. Although I don't have any bad feelings towards him, I still have to remind you."

"..."

Feng Xiaogang was still speechless.

He just nodded slightly.

I don't know if he was being polite or agreeing with what he said.

At this time, Chen Hong came over and whispered:

"Xiaogang, you two haven't seen each other much before, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Feng Xiaogang leaned forward slightly, looked at Chen Hong and said:

"The last time we met was at the Golden Horse Awards, when I was filming "The Sound of the Wind" and "If You Are the One."

"He wasn't famous at that time, was he?... How do you feel about meeting him this time? Can you give me some comments on you, a junior?"

Seeing Chen Hong using this very acceptable title to ask questions, Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and replied:

"The last time I met him, he felt like a child. But this time..."

He paused at this point.

It seemed that he was summarizing, and it seemed that he was searching for words to describe it.

After pausing for a second or two, he said:

"There is a sharpness. The kind of sharpness that you don't see in ordinary directors."

Chen Hong was stunned.

Obviously, she didn't expect the other party to give such an answer.

But she still smiled:

"Of course, he's a young man."

"Haha, yes."

Feng Xiaogang responded.

Then he yawned with his hands covering his mouth, and took the initiative to end the topic.

Although his answer sounded simple... it was normal for young people to have that kind of enterprising trait.

But he knew it very well in his heart.

From the moment the other person sat next to him, as a director, he could clearly feel the sharpness hidden in this person.

Chen Kaige was actually right.

This kid... is really like a knife.

Everyone knows that it is very sharp.

But what is more terrifying is that you don’t know when it will be unsheathed.

It can hide and conceal.

But this is not the point.

It’s like he doesn’t know how the two people next to him feel about this evaluation of himself...

After he felt the sharpness of this child, the most intuitive sigh had actually spread in his heart a long time ago.

"I’m old."

He said in his heart.

Maybe he could suppress it before.

But now...

He felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

At this time, the king next to him said to him:

"Xiaogang, it's okay, let him be proud for a while. Let's do this movie well. His movie is a small theme, far worse than ours! In the past two years, we have made more achievements and have a group of local rich people. They will definitely not be able to stop us!"

"..."

Feng Xiaogang was speechless again.

He just sorted out his mood and nodded slightly.

"Yeah."

...

"Chen Kaige, I can't say. But I think I have seen the ceiling of Director Feng."

In Liu Yifei's puzzled eyes, Xu Xin, who was holding a cigarette, shook his head slightly:

"I can't explain it to you..."

"Try your best, okay? You make me feel itchy."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought about it, looked around, and after making sure that there were no people around, he whispered:

"The temperament similar to Director Zhang's... temperament in him has disappeared."

"..."

Liu Yifei thought to herself, what are you talking about?

What temperament?

Is it so fantasy?

Seeing her expression, Xu Xin smiled and shrugged:

"That's why I said, I can't explain it to you. Or you can define my words as a man's intuition. But... I can always see a strong desire for knowledge in Director Zhang.

In other words... he is thinking all the time, thinking about how to return to his own essence, and after returning, he will also think about how to jump out.

He has this thirst for knowledge about any movie subject. He is curious, impulsive, and wants to try it... Have you heard that sentence? Desire is the driving force behind human progress.

If you observe carefully, you will find that Director Zhang has a strong spirit of exploration.

For example, this is a room, you are sitting here, he is sitting there, and neither of you is talking. But you will be curious unconsciously. Watching him frown and think, you will wonder, what is he thinking at this moment? A script? A certain movie? Or how to design a certain scene in the movie? As long as you stay close to him, you will have such thoughts unconsciously. I want to analyze his heart. "

"Isn't it on Feng Xiaogang?"

"No...I can't say there isn't. I should say it's already very weak."

Xu Xin shook his head again:

"I don't know if my summary is correct, but...that's what I think."

"...What about Chen Kaige?"

"He...maybe still has one."

Looking at the cigarette that was about to burn out, Xu Xin gave an ambiguous answer.

"Who knows?...Do you know why I left so suddenly just now?"

"Why?"

"Because I feel there is no need to continue chatting. Next to him is the king and the king. Maybe it is my personal subjective judgment? But I always feel that these people are all about business, and as for him, being with these people... …It’s a bit similar to when Director Zhang was in the new scene.

Of course, this is still my personal opinion.

No matter what movie it is, I think his thoughts must be very impure. How to praise people, how to allocate resources reasonably, how to ensure box office... Especially after "1942", I think he will have to consider more situations. You're not the director, so you don't know. Once a director's creation mixes these things, it becomes easy to compromise.

Now that I feel confident, there is no need to stay any longer. Just in time, Director Chen is here, so I'll just go down the slope... Not to mention, the smoke tastes pretty good. "

He lowered his head and glanced at the burnt Ninth Five-Year Master with only the butt of his cigarette. He threw it into the trash can and said to Liu Yifei:

"Let's go. It's time for the red carpet."

"emmm..."

The fairy sister first followed his footsteps, then hesitated and said:

"Actually, in my eyes, if I were asked to choose, I would choose you."

"?"

Xu Xin glanced at her in confusion:

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You want to choose two people, but Hua Yi doesn't agree with it either."

"Oh, that's not what I meant!"

Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and complained:

"Didn't you see that those two people were treating me like nothing just now... What I mean is that under subjective conditions, if three movie invitations were put in front of me, I would still choose you. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

In Xu Xin's curiosity, the fairy spirit on the face of the fairy sister came again.

Bright eyes, white teeth, a beady smile:

"Because...as an actor, I can see that you have a temperament. You have it, but they don't."

Xu Xin couldn't help but raise his thumb:

"Either Wang Yuyan, you are the best performer. As time goes by, I will retaliate in the same way. The introduction is over~"

"Hey hey hey... let's go and walk on the red carpet~"

The fairy sister chuckled and pushed him.

He thought he was joking.

But in fact, she was serious.

Extremely serious.

The typos will be corrected tomorrow. It’s past one o’clock and I’m so sleepy that I’m going to explode.
