Chapter 975: Lead the Junior Fellow Student? LeTV Suddenly Explodes!
"Hey? Why did you come in at the wrong time again?"
As soon as he entered the venue, Chen Fei was caught by Ning Hao!
"Traffic jam on the road..." He gave a simple excuse, and then he began to observe the entire venue under the pretext of chatting with Director Ning.
Looking around, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, Gu Changwei, Jia Zhangke, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing, Wong Kar-wai and other well-known directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are all present today!
Obviously, everyone actually attaches great importance to Li An's Director and Master Forum.
The reason is actually very simple. It is mainly because Li An has been promoting the "120-frame 4K, 3D projection mode" when filming and promoting his "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".
According to him, the projection speed of 120 frames per second not only improves the clarity of the image, but also makes the audience more involved and immersed, and the audience will be more sensitive, real and clear in accepting and experiencing the emotions of the characters...
Based on this, many directors in the industry are very curious about what his new technology is like, so they have been invited to the forum today.
"Chen Fei, Ning Hao."
A call suddenly came from behind, which immediately attracted the attention of the two.
"Hey? Teacher Tian."
When Chen Fei saw that the person coming was Tian Zhuangzhuang, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
Although he graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, he was also familiar with the Directing Department, and Tian Zhuangzhuang was equivalent to half of his teacher.
Before, when he was targeted by Lu Tailang's father and some old guys, Tian Zhuangzhuang did not fail to tip him off and even spoke well for him.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
"Haha, I haven't seen you two for a long time. In a blink of an eye, you have both become directors with a box office of 3 billion. It's really a surprise!"
Tian Zhuangzhuang is 64 years old this year and is the most experienced leader among the fifth generation of Chinese directors.
If he hadn't been affected by the "ban on directing", which made him depressed for a long time, I'm afraid his current achievements would not be lower than those of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai.
So, when he sees new-age commercial film directors such as Chen Fei and Ning Hao, he often sighs from the bottom of his heart.
"It's time for Chinese films to flourish. Unlike us, we were always controlled by others... Alas!"
After chatting for a while, Tian Zhuangzhuang asked curiously: "Where is Wang Shiliang? Didn't he come today?"
"No." Chen Fei shook his head and explained: "The post-production of Wolf Warrior 2, directed by him, is in full swing. He really can't spare the time."
"Busy! Busy! In a blink of an eye, the little guy who was following me has become a director with a box office of 3 billion, haha..."
Wang Shiliang was one of the first students to be admitted to the Master's Program of Directing at the Beijing Film Academy, and his tutor was Tian Zhuangzhuang.
After graduation, others successfully entered the film and television industry with their own connections, but he struggled to find a way out and was almost reduced to shooting commercials.
If Tian Zhuangzhuang hadn't helped him and introduced him to Feiyue Film and Television, and let him work under Chen Fei, I'm afraid his final outcome would have been to spend his days in the advertising and MV circles.
Now, with the "Detective Chinatown" series of movies, he has also entered the 3 billion box office director club.
Now, under the instruction of Chen Fei, he has directed the "Wolf Warrior 1 and 2" series of movies, and his future is limitless!
At this time, Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly waved to a man in his 30s, wearing round-frame glasses and with a slightly melancholy temperament.
"Come on, Xiao Wen, stop busying yourself. I'll introduce you to your two senior brothers."
After pulling the man to his side, Tian Zhuangzhuang first introduced his identity: "This is also one of my students. His name is Wen Muye. He was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy's master's degree in directing a few years ago. I personally brought him up."
After introducing the man's identity, Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed at Chen Fei and Ning Hao and said in the direction of Wen Muye: "I don't need to introduce the identities of these two to you, right?"
"No, no!" Wen Muye waved his hands repeatedly and shouted excitedly: "Director Chen, Director Ning, I am a big fan of both of you! The movies you directed are I have watched the movie at least 5 times!"
While speaking, he even excitedly said: "Director Ning's "Incense" gave me a lot of inspiration, and let me learn how to criticize reality with realistic methods.
And Director Chen's "Buried Alive" is the best self-directed and self-acted thriller masterpiece I have ever seen! Continuous suspense, rare performance methods, unique perspectives, superb shots, and detailed plots are simply amazing!
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the horror and freshness of this movie were directly maxed out..."
No matter when, praise is always the best way to get closer.
Now, listening to Wen Muye's praise, Chen Fei and Ning Hao feel quite useful.
"Junior brother, you have studied our film styles quite thoroughly, haha." Ning Hao smiled and patted his shoulder, feeling like he had found a soulmate.
When he was shooting "Incense", he suffered a lot, and it was not easy to successfully land this movie.
Unfortunately, this movie did not bring him much profit and almost bankrupted him.
In the end, if Chen Fei hadn't given him a hand, I'm afraid he would have had to shoot music videos and commercials to pay off his debts.
Therefore, the movie "Incense" has special meaning to him. Now when he hears the name, he feels doubly fond of it.
Chen Fei also added with a smile: "When I was filming "Buried Alive", I encountered a lot of troubles..."
With Tian Zhuangxing as a bond, the few of them just communicated for a while.
It can be judged from Wen Mushi's words that this is a student who has learned real materials from Tian Zhuangzhuang. In time, he may make some achievements in this circle.
"Taking this opportunity today, I actually want to see if there is a suitable opportunity on your side to let him take action..."
Hearing Tian Zhuangzhuang's words, Chen Fei and Ning Hao glanced at each other subconsciously, with a flash of understanding in their eyes.
As expected, as the two expected, in order for his students to have a good future, Tian Zhuangzhuang began to use his favors and connections again!
"I don't have any projects here at the moment, but "囧" is currently being filmed in Hong Kong. If Junior Brother Wen doesn't mind it..."
Ning Hao had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by Chen Fei: "Forget it, "囧 in Hong Kong" is for Bao Qiang to practice, so let him follow his own ideas and get a professional director." , but it will make him confused.
If you don't mind, Junior Brother Wen, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed by me is being filmed here. You can come to my place as an assistant director and work with Han Jia Nyeo to help me. "
As he spoke, Chen Fei felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It seems... that we have come full circle and come back to the starting point?
He vaguely remembered that in the original time and space, Wen Mushi participated in Ning Hao's "Bad Monkey Seventy-Two Transformations Director Project" after graduating from school, and then became the director of "The God of Medicine".
And now, he has come into contact with the Medicine God again!
"I don't dislike it! I don't dislike it! How could I dislike it!"
Even joining the crew of "Hong Kong" is a rare opportunity for Wen Mushi. After all, he is just a director who has made short films. He has no impressive results at all, and his qualifications are equivalent to nothing. .
And now, Chen Fei promoted him to the deputy director of the top real-life movie project "I'm Not the God of Medicine" with just one sentence. For him, it is no less than "flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix"!
The most important thing is that after becoming the deputy director of "The God of Medicine", he had the opportunity to learn from Chen Fei.
If we wait until the movie is finished, won't our qualifications, connections, and resources be accumulated smoothly?
When he thought of this, he couldn't hide his excitement!
"Please leave me your contact information. I will send you a location tomorrow. You can just go to the studio to find me and sign a contract as an assistant director..."
In a few words, it was done.
Tian Zhuangzhuang on the side looked at the scene in front of him with great enjoyment.
Chen Fei was given enough face to be the assistant director of "The God of Medicine", which he never expected!
He must recognize this favor today.
"Xiao Wen! When you go, learn from Chen Fei and watch more, listen more, talk less, and do more. This opportunity is so rare, you must cherish it!"
"Teacher, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
…
More than half an hour later, at the invitation of Mr. Li, everyone who came to participate in the Director Master Forum sat down in their respective seats.
"Director Zhang, how are you doing lately?"
After sitting down, Chen Fei said hello to Zhang Yimou on his right.
"It's okay, I've been busy promoting "The Great Wall"..."
The two were chatting quietly. On the stage, Li Jing had already taken the microphone and started talking about his movie.
"Since director Chen Fei made "Inception", 3D movies have become popular in Hollywood again, and the follow-up "Avatar" by James Cameron has pushed 3D technology to another peak!
You may not know that when directors in Hollywood nowadays mention Director Chen Fei’s name, they call him the ‘father of 3D movies’, while Cameron is just the continuation and pioneer of 3D movies...”
This sudden compliment really made Chen Fei a little confused.
Aren’t we here to discuss film technology today? Why did you bring the topic to the "Father of 3D Cinema"?
so?
What exactly is he trying to express?
At this time, the rest of the people present were also a little suspicious. After all, they were here to discuss technology today, not to listen to Li Bian praise Chen Fei.
But the next second, everyone heard Li Ying's sudden change of subject:
"I have watched a lot of films by directors such as Chen Fei, James Cameron, and Steven Spielberg who are good at shooting 3D masterpieces, and I have also tried to shoot this type of work myself, such as "Youth" Life of Pi.
From then on, I started to study... Fortunately, I got the support of Bona Yudong and filmed "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk." "
In the front row, Yu Dong had a bright smile on his face, and he was so happy that he couldn't be happier.
“The entire film was shot using 120-frame high-standard technology. I used Sony’s F65 4K camera, ARRI/Zeiss Master Prime lenses, and Stereotec’s 3D shooting platform to successfully shoot this film. out.
Therefore, in my opinion, as long as the top 4K large screen is used, plus 3D and 120 frames, the top picture level can be fully displayed, which makes people immersed in it at the opening..."
After a long speech, Li An paused for a moment and looked at the audience, obviously waiting for questions.
Chen Fei raised his hand and asked first: "Then Director Li, have you ever thought about how many theaters in the country can support 3D, 4K, and 120 frames projection mode?
When I filmed "Inception", the reason why I was able to make a profit was that the theaters began to update 3D projection equipment on a large scale. "
When this question came out, Li An was silent for a while before continuing: "I have done research before. There are a total of 20 theaters in China that support this format, and Pan Asia Cinema Line has 11 of them, and the other 9 are distributed under Wanda, New Film Association, and Poly Bona.
Therefore, when scheduling the film later, I have to ask Director Chen to help me and try to move these theaters that support 120 frames to "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".
As for other theaters, they can also use 60 frames, or at least 24 frames, which can be used for playback.
After our event today, those who are interested can go to the theaters under Poly Bona to watch this movie..."
Chen Fei smiled, but did not promise on the spot.
After all, the theater scheduling is based on comprehensive market considerations. If you want to schedule enough films, you have to see whether the quality of the film is high enough.
The discussion continued. As another pursuer of 3D movies, Xu Ke immediately raised the question of whether the 120-frame picture can be accepted by the audience.
After all, once the resolution is too high, many people who are slightly dizzy with 3D may be dizzy after watching it for a while.
And those ordinary audiences may also become audiences who are dizzy with 3D!
In this regard, Li An explained: "It's okay to get used to it. This is not a problem. When 3D movies first came out, didn't many people find it difficult to accept it? But later these people seemed to have disappeared, right? "
"I agree with Director Li's point of view!" Feng Xiaogang began to talk: "I Am Not Fan Jinlian is in CGS giant screen format. I think as long as the audience has enough appreciation ability and level, the format is not important. The key is that the picture is exquisite enough..."
Hearing this, Brother Chen Kai nodded slightly.
He also agreed with this point of view.
However, Chen Fei laughed when he heard it.
This Feng Gangpao always shouts that he is close to the people and down-to-earth, but what he says and does is completely contrary to that.
What the hell is it to expect the audience to have enough appreciation level?
Shouldn't the director cater to the Market, is it the right way to tell the story in an interesting and easy-to-understand way?
He curled his lips and subconsciously took out his mobile phone to check the time.
The crew of "Dying to Survive" only had a half-day off in the morning, and he had to rush back as soon as possible in the afternoon. As for the movie-watching activities, he would not join in the fun.
It's not like he had never seen it in his previous life, and he almost vomited after watching it...
But just as he took out his mobile phone, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhang Yimou next to him was answering the phone quietly, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly!
"What's the situation?" Seeing Zhang Yimou's uneasy posture, the first thought that popped into Chen Fei's mind was that something had happened!
So after glancing at the time, he calmly opened Weibo.
Sure enough!
Looking around, Weibo was full of reports about the results of the CSRC's investigation into LeTV.
"After investigation! LeTV has been confirmed to have committed serious financial fraud for ten consecutive years from 2007 to 2016. Its IPO-related documents and annual reports from 2010 to 2016 contained false records... This behavior seriously violated the relevant provisions of the Securities Law! "
"It is reported that LeTV's non-public offering of stocks in 2016 constituted fraudulent issuance, and failed to disclose related transactions in accordance with regulations..."
"After investigation! After LeTV went public in 2010, in addition to using its own funds to circulate and collude to "move accounts" to fabricate business income, it also continued to inflate performance by forging contracts, not actually executing framework contracts or unilaterally confirming swap contracts!"
"During the initial issuance stage, LeTV inflated its performance by fictitious business and false collection of payments to meet the listing conditions, and continued after listing. This behavior is extremely bad! ”
“LeTV’s then-chairman Jia Yueting was fully responsible for LeTV’s work, organized, made decisions, and directed LeTV and related personnel to participate in fraud, failed to perform his duties diligently, and signed the relevant issuance documents and periodic reports and guaranteed that the disclosed information was true, accurate, and complete;
The then-CFO Yang Lijie directly organized and implemented the relevant financial fraud, failed to perform his duties diligently, and signed the relevant issuance documents and periodic reports and guaranteed that the disclosed information was true, accurate, and complete.
The above two people adopted particularly bad means such as concealing and fabricating important facts in financial fraud. The amount of fraud was huge and the duration was long. They played a role in organization, planning, leadership, and implementation. The illegal circumstances were particularly serious. They were directly responsible supervisors...”
Looking around, the Internet has completely exploded!
Financial fraud, stock market fraud, asset transfer, false records, major omissions, fraudulent issuance, and undisclosed external guarantees...
Before this, Chen Fei already knew that the problem of LeTV was definitely not small, but now he found that this was no longer a simple problem, but a big hole, a big sinkhole!
If you want to fill this hole, let alone Boss Jia, even if you fill the entire LeTV, it will not be enough!
No wonder Zhang Yimou's face suddenly changed after answering the phone, after all, his entire fortune is in the LeTV stock market.
Now LeTV suddenly exploded, if nothing unexpected happens, all his investment will probably go down the drain!
