Chapter 242 240. Torch·Director·Wind (23)
"Speaking of which, have you met Liang Bingning?"
"I've seen it before, at the Asian Film Festival."
Yang Mi held the cup with a relaxed tone.
This is the chat between Xu Xin and Xu Xin when she first came in and took a seat.
As soon as she finished saying this, Xu Xin covered her with the suit she was wearing.
She wore a halter again today.
Zhang Jiao originally chose Chanel's new deep V dress for her today, but Yang Mi was not satisfied.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao got a rigid rule for choosing a dress for Sister Mi:
"Either you don't show it, or you can only show your back."
She didn't ask why...because it was so obvious.
Sister Mi...she is very talented.
This is the truth.
So wearing a deep V can definitely become the most beautiful boy on this red carpet.
It is impossible for her not to know.
But why not wear...
I think it must be because of Director Xu.
And when Liang Bingning sat at the table of Xu Xin, Yang Mi, and Zhang Yimou under Tian Shuanghe's leadership, she immediately noticed a detail.
That was when Yang Mi, who greeted herself proactively, covered her heart and bowed politely to herself, there was a silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
Even if it was just a quick glance, Liang Bingning, who was also very sensitive to these accessories and details, immediately locked onto Xu Xin's left hand.
The rings of the two are exactly the same.
Not even hiding on this occasion.
And recall the news about the two of them...
She suddenly chuckled in her heart.
"ha."
So, those scandals are true?
The two are a couple?
tsk...
She suddenly felt a little... very strange feeling for no reason.
It's like a brave general who is eight feet long, carries a spear, and smashes Huashan with great strength, but his hobby is embroidery.
A young man in his early 20s, full of ambitions.
A director with Olympic qualifications and a billion-dollar box office club...
There is still such a childish side?
Are you two married?
no.
If not, why would you wear the ring on your ring finger?
Liang Bingning, who has seen too many "sorrows and joys" and "dewy marriage" in this circle, shook her head secretly in her heart.
Recalling the information I knew...the two seem to be classmates at the same school, right?
After all, it's still a little naive.
I don’t know that after the two of you, everyone will be busy with work, and we will get together less and leave more. Or what will it look like when it comes into contact with some active throwing arms or benefit exchange.
She pursed her lower lip.
Lip gloss is even and radiant.
Another vague glance at the two people sitting next to Director Zhang.
Tut.
so good.
So innocent.
But…
Do you know?
so sad...
You two are in this circle.
…
The celebration officially begins.
In fact, the specific process is not complicated.
It is nothing more than reviewing the glorious history of Xiying Film Studio, and then looking forward to the future.
From all kinds of old photos, to the preservation of some previous video clips such as "Old Well", "Overlord", "Lantern", etc., to the speeches of some filmmakers, and song and dance performances, etc.
I have to admit, it was quite lively.
It also allowed everyone to truly feel the history of Xiying Film Studio amidst the excitement.
At least this is the case for Xu Xin.
Some things, just knowing the history, may not feel much.
But looking at the young people on the screen... For example, the muscular Director Zhang, with a towel on his head, standing in front of the camera to join in the fun...
At that time, he was still filming "Old Well".
Another example is the scene of Gong Li carrying a red lantern and chasing the strolling chickens, yelling for extra food.
Or everyone gathered together, wearing military coats and chatting about movie stories...
Many people had looks of nostalgia on their faces.
Even, Xu Xin saw that people at other tables had already started drinking.
A mouthful of the past.
Take a sip of wine.
Immersed in the memory of the glory that I personally forged in the past, feeling the passage of innocence and the ruthlessness of the years.
Many years passed.
The factory is not what it used to be.
And they... don't seem to be who they used to be.
He even heard Director Zhang sighing many times.
I don't know what he is remembering.
But he felt... At least, when he missed the past, the expressions on the faces of these people present were the expression of true feelings.
Do not fake.
Then…
This outpouring of true feelings disappeared again after carrying on the past and ushering in the future.
Without warmth, the entertainment industry is still the entertainment industry.
After a set of procedures, with the end of the final song and dance performance, Tian Shuanghe was finally invited to the stage.
As the leader of Xiying Studio, he came to the stage and delivered a passionate speech.
From "welcome home everyone" to "thank you for your contribution to this home" and the like.
But to be honest, the effect is far less important than the meaning of those remaining clips.
But that's okay.
Because... the main event is coming.
Next, Tian Shuanghe began to announce several important measures of Xiying Film Studio.
Most of the first few items are clichés, official Chinese.
Said four things, all of which are "how to build the West Film Studio in the future", "how to go on the road" and the like.
When it came to the fifth item, Xu Xin noticed that Liang Bingning was ready to go on stage.
At this time, Tian Shuanghe's voice sounded:
"Let me announce that from now on, Ms. Liang Bingning will be officially invited by Xiying Group to take up the position of "Deputy Head of Actors and Theater Troupe of Art Creation Center". As an actor of Xiying Studio, Ms. Liang Bingning will help Xiying Group is stepping forward to make more contributions to the film industry."
As soon as the news was spoken, the reporters in the back row, as well as some invited guests, were dumbfounded.
Although Liang Bingning came, many people have already guessed that the two sides must have reached a cooperation.
But the title of "deputy head" still caught everyone by surprise.
But all the leaders and staff of Xiying Studio who had known the news for a long time took the lead in applauding.
"Wow la la la la la..."
Amid the applause, the host said at the right time:
"Let's invite Deputy Head Liang Bingning to take the stage to accept the appointment ceremony."
Following his words, a hostess came up with a tray.
There is an employment certificate and a bouquet of flowers on it.
"Wow, la la la..."
Xu Xin was also applauding.
Zhang Yimou was also applauding.
All the guests who reacted with hindsight began to applaud.
Only the reporters...
After being shocked, he fully reacted.
Big news!
Absolutely big news!
27-year-old Liang Bingning served as...according to the establishment, at least the deputy head of the actor troupe with the treatment of deputy director-level cadres!
This news is released, the popularity must be rising!
So...
"Kacha Kacha Kacha..."
In the scene, the lights of the flashlight flickered violently.
Liang Bingning walked to Tian Shuanghe stepping on the flowers and the red carpet.
After receiving the certificate and flowers, the two sides shook hands.
Then, she stood in front of the stage and began to speak.
At this moment, Yang Mi suddenly approached Xu Xin and asked in a low voice:
"Is she bound by any contract?"
Xu Xin tilted his head slightly, listening to Liang Bingning's speech of "Thank you Xiying Studio" on the stage, and whispered:
"No."
"...Aren't you afraid that she will pick her up?"
"If it were you, would you give up the pick?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while, then nodded slightly:
"understood."
…
After Liang Bingning finished her speech, the audience burst into warm applause again.
Regardless of the interest entanglement behind this incident, for the reporters, this big news has already been turned into text messages and flew into the inboxes of their respective media.
Unexpectedly, after delivering her speech, Liang Bingning did not step down, but stood aside with a certificate in her hand.
Many guests began to wonder again.
this…
Not over yet?
At this time, Tian Shuanghe spoke again, looked at all the guests and said:
"Next, Article 6, I announce that Xiying Film Studio will soon launch the filming of "The Wind" with the same name as the script of the Republic of China spy war novel "The Wind" written by Mao Dun Literary Award-winning writer "Mai Jia" and adapted by the screenwriter team. plan. The director team of this film is composed of internationally recognized director team from West Film Studio. They are set designer: Guo Zhengyi, art director: Cao Jiuping, lighting director: Ji Jianmin..."
One, another name that is well-known to the insiders, read from Tian Shuanghe's mouth.
Including these reporters, they were immediately picked from this list...
This is definitely an ambitious work of Xiying Film Studio!
Tingting these names, whether it is Guo Zhengyi, Cao Jiuping, Ji Jianmin, or Sun Wei, Zhang Zhian, including Hou Xiaoxian's royal photographer Li Pingdong...
These people are not simple figures at home and abroad.
Not to mention the average person has won one international award, the domestic award has been won over and over again.
This lineup...
Can be called luxurious!
But…
Here comes the problem.
The list goes from photography to lighting to art design and more, so complete…
When you look at this lineup, you will know that it is a lineup that can be called the Chinese ceiling.
But... we all know that your Xiying manufacturer has a solid foundation.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
But the problem is...
What about the director?
You should hurry up and say it.
Who did you choose as the director?
Zhang Yimou?
Chen Kaige?
Or Gu Changwei who just made a movie?
Or who?
With such a complete list, it must be "premeditated for a long time", right?
What are you showing off, hurry up and tell me who the director chose?
Listening to Tian Shuanghe's unhurried tone, countless people were guessing and waiting for the final result.
Finally, after talking about the strong lineup of producers: Qi Lei, Hu Jian, and producer: Tian Shuanghe himself, Tian Shuanghe, who had revealed that this drama is a product of "internal digestion", suddenly faltered.
It seems that it is specially designed to mobilize other people's appetite.
When everyone's hearts were raised, he said:
"Li Ningyu, one of the characters in the play, will be played by Liang Bingning."
"!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
No wonder, after showing up, he still hasn't gone down.
Obviously...Since the news came out in September...or even earlier, Liang Bingning's contact with Xiying Studio has already begun, right?
Is this to use Liang Bingning as a selling point?
But still that sentence.
Who is the director?
Director Zhang?
Zhang Yimou is going to start working with Liang Bingning?
While thinking about it, I heard Tian Shuanghe say:
"The director will be the designer of the main torch, the torch relay, and the scroll of prosperity..."
When talking about these three.
Sure enough, the first thing everyone thought of was Zhang Yimou.
Old Mouzi... Ah no, the National Teacher has returned to Xiying Studio! ?
What about Zhang Weiping?
Didn’t Zhang Weiping announce that he is about to start the production of a blockbuster movie?
Could it be this?
I go!
How much box office did this movie earn?
Zhang Yimou's influence...
To say that it is in full swing is a bit of an understatement.
Xiying Studio really found him?
Subconsciously looked at Zhang Yimou's table, but found that...
Zhang Yimou was present, but the young man next to him made a movement to get up.
? ? ?
What's the matter with you?
Everyone is struggling to figure it out, so I heard him continue:
"And, the debut film won the Cannes Golden Camera Award, and Xu Xin, the youngest director of the billion-dollar box office club in the history of Tianchao Films, is in charge! Applause is welcome!"
"..."
"..."
A sudden gap began to permeate from the hearts of many people.
Not Zhang Yimou?
Is it Xu Xin?
This young man...
Oh, that's right, "The Unspeakable Secret" has a box office of more than 400 million yuan.
Although not as good as Zhang Yimou...huh?
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait...
What did Tian Shuanghe just say?
What... torch?
What torch designer?
Torch Designer! ?
? ? ? ?
Some people who haven’t reacted yet, looked at the trousers and waistcoats, which are referred to as suspenders with suspenders, and walked up the red carpet step by step, to Xu Xin in front of the stage...
are all dumbfounded.
Why is this person wearing overalls... No! Where did the design of the Olympic torch come from?
Zhang Yimou team.
But isn’t that team design?
How...became a personal designer?
this…
what happened?
Half of the people in the venue were stunned by the news.
At this time, Xu Xin also walked up to Tian Shuanghe, shook hands politely, and took the microphone.
be honest.
Under the spotlight, he couldn't see what other people's expressions were like.
However, he could clearly hear the applause in the front row and the silence in the back row just now.
So, he said politely:
"Thank you, thank you for the trust in the factory, you can put this burden on me."
As he spoke, he nodded politely:
"Hello, seniors, I am the young director Xu Xin. I am deeply honored to be able to direct the film "The Wind". I also hope that I can achieve perfection and live up to everyone's trust in me. Thank you everyone."
The voice fell, and the applause in front of him sounded again.
"Wow la la la la la..."
But Tian Shuanghe didn't intend to speak, but the host picked up the microphone instead.
"Director Xu, can I ask a question...I believe that this question is also a question that many friends here want to know."
Xu Xin, who has known this process for a long time, nodded:
"OK."
Just listen to the host asking directly:
"When Mr. Tian introduced you just now, he said that you are the designer of the Olympic torch, the torch relay, and the countless amazing long scrolls that the Olympic opening ceremony brought us—the flourishing age scroll."
"um, yes."
Xu Xin responded again.
"!!"
Now, some commotion suddenly appeared in the scene.
The flashes of "Kacha Kacha Kacha" began to resound towards the stage.
The host continued to ask:
"The main torch... is the one above the bird's nest?"
"right."
"Passing the torch... the one the torch is holding?"
"Um."
"You also came up with the idea of Shengshi Scroll?"
"Yes."
Xu Xin nodded.
The shutter sound of "Kacha Kacha Kacha" has completely drowned out Xu Xin.
Everyone understands one thing at this moment.
No wonder…
No wonder there is such a link in the 50th anniversary celebration.
There must be this kind of "self-question and self-answer" link!
One move affects the whole body. Many people have fully understood the plan of Xiying Studio after Xu Xin's three nods!
It is necessary to talk about the contribution to the film.
Or to put it more bluntly.
In terms of seniority, this youngest director with a box office of 100 million yuan in history is really not good compared to these famous "fifth generation" groups.
Yes, maybe some people may not have won the three major awards, and their strength is mediocre.
But the problem is... People like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are so dazzling that they light up the brilliance of the entire fifth generation of directors!
You are the fifth-generation director, so first of all, your reputation must be bigger than others.
This is ironclad.
So, it can't be compared on this point.
But... it's okay.
He is the designer of the **** Olympic torch!
is the creator of the most eye-catching scene in that volume, which is called "the most unforgettable and wonderful Olympic Games" both at home and abroad.
The torch that carries the expectations of more than one billion people is designed by someone else!
The torch that has spread all over the world was made by someone else!
Not to mention... According to limited legends, this kid is in charge of the Olympic Games, and he is even nicknamed "Ouchi Manager"!
Is it enough?
Enough?
enough.
Enough is enough!
With this "torch" and the embellishments of "Golden Camera" and "more than 400 million" box office.
No wonder Xiying Studio pushed him out!
This qualification...this amount of topics...
Although it’s not as good as Zhang Yimou’s...the start of a new film, the grand scene that everyone inside and outside the circle is looking forward to.
But in terms of topicality and popularity, it is enough.
Enough!
Listen.
What is Tian Shuanghe talking about?
"Xiao Xu, I'll leave this torch from Xiying Studio to you."
Listen, what is this called! ?
Although I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know how this director Xu Xin got in touch with Xiying Studio... But at least at this moment, the limelight is already on him!
Mom...
BIG NEWS! !
Absolutely big news!
There is no need to say anything about the movie lineup, nor do you need to say how much the investment is.
is the name "Xu Xin".
enough!
Enough is enough!
Looking at the young man standing in the middle of the stage with the encouragement of Tian Shuanghe, bowing and thanking...
Everyone understood in their hearts.
No matter whether it is a strong outsider, or a skinny camel...
It doesn't matter what.
At least, now that the Xiying Studio has taken this step...
Enough to **** tomorrow's headlines in the entertainment industry!
Liang Bingning, Xu... No, Liang Bingning has to stay behind.
Xu Xin and Liang Bingning collaborated in this film...
Really heavy enough!
Not just the headlines of the entertainment industry, but also for the guests who arrived today.
Actors think simpler, nothing more than suitable roles and the like.
But some management personnel invited by major companies have begun to have their minds alive at this moment.
If only Liang Bingning...
Maybe the weight is not so heavy.
But with a Xu Xin...
It’s okay if you don’t know these resumes, isn’t it just a director with a box office of over 100 million, not so fresh.
But as soon as the qualifications for the Olympics are taken out...
Everything, the taste is a little different.
This film already has the potential of a famous director's masterpiece!
No matter whether the filming is good or bad, at least the amount of topics and popularity will never be bad!
For our artists...
Will it be a chance! ?
…
The reception is just the beginning.
Yang Mi seems to have become little transparent again.
But she was quite relieved this time.
At my table, there are Director Zhang, Director Li, Mr. Tian, Qi Lei, Liang Bingning... Not to mention anything else, Director Zhang's own focus is enough.
And most importantly...the fiancé is next to him.
Everything in the halo is given to him.
Because he is my man.
Yang Mi, who just let everyone know how good my man is, is immersed in an unparalleled joy at this moment.
Moreover, she also knew that today was not her game.
Propaganda is done step by step.
In order to ensure continuity, it is best to wait for a period of time, and when the heat is about to disappear, make another wave of heat.
The first wave of "The Sound of the Wind" was played by my brother.
And the second wave is me.
Then the third wave should be those actors who joined with all their strength.
Step by step, keeping the movie top-notch topicality is the correct channel for publicity.
So, she is not in a hurry.
This time I am willing to serve as a matching green leaf.
Brother's excellence, it's finally time for you to see it.
While thinking about it, suddenly, something approached his mouth.
She opened her mouth instinctively.
A roll of duck burrito was stuffed into the mouth.
After Yang Mi realized it, she turned her head and glanced at her fiancé who had no scruples about "showing affection", her eyes bent into a crescent moon.
At this moment, she noticed a gaze.
Looking up, he met Liang Bingning's eyes.
There is no hostility, or drama like fighting in the air.
Liang Bingning smiled slightly.
Yang Mi smiled slightly.
Just like other people at this table, they silently tacitly understand the state of the couple between the two.
However, after lowering her head again, Yang Mi picked up a chopstick of roasted sea cucumber with scallion and placed it on Xu Xin's dinner plate.
…
Time for a reception.
Accompanied by the short message, the news on the major portal media on the entire network scattered like snowflakes.
"Liang Bingning serves as the deputy head of the actor troupe of Xiying Group! "
"Xiying Studio's masterpiece "The Wind" shows its ambition! "
"Xiying Group 50th Anniversary Daqing Stars Brilliant"
One piece of news appeared in major media.
However, since the on-site press team has not left and is waiting for interviews, there are no particularly clear photos sent over for the time being. They are all MMS photos, which are very blurry.
After the first round of news was sent out, the second round of news came out, which was really shocking.
"Olympic main torch, torch relay, flourishing age picture scroll are all from the hands of director Xu Xin!" "
After the news centered on this topic appeared on the Internet...
Like a boulder, it hit everyone's hearts with a plop.
what?
Xu Xin...?
The one filming "The Unspeakable Secret"?
The main torch and the torch relay are all from his hands?
Isn’t it designed by Director Zhang’s director team?
After reading the news, with doubts and confusion, everyone began to search for relevant information on the search engine as if it was a rehash of the past.
And immediately someone noticed something was wrong.
Baidu Encyclopedia above.
The information on the torch of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has quietly changed at some point.
The design unit column has been completely changed from the original: "Designer:, Yanjing Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremony Director Team".
"Designer: Xu Xin"
! ? ?
it is true?
Some netizens who don’t believe in evil quickly search for the profile of the Torch Tower.
I found that the introduction of the Torch Tower is as follows:
"The Olympic torch tower is built on the side of the bowl of the Bird's Nest. The entire torch tower is a rolled-up scroll. The lower part of the torch tower is red, and the upper part is silver with auspicious clouds. The manufacturer is Shougang Group, and the gas is made by PetroChina. The overall design of the torch follows the creative idea of "Program No. 237 (Designer: Xu Xin)."
Program 237?
Everyone quickly turned back to the "Torch" encyclopedia and looked at the detailed description of the "establishment process" above.
In 2006, the organizing committee began to solicit creative proposals from all over the world.
On May 22, 2006, the internal voting selected the 388 creative ideas, the 237th design plan provided by Xu Xin, a member of the director team for the opening and closing ceremonies...
After completing the bidding for the design of the internal gas structure, it was officially announced on August 8, 2006.
Torch plan No. 237 is named: Xiangyun.
turn out to be…
The torch was really designed by Xu Xin.
That debut work won the Cannes Golden Camera Award, and Xu Xin, whose film swept 460 million box office...
Director of "The Wind": Xu Xin.
One stone stirs up waves.
Since the Olympics, I have no way to vent my emotions.
Suddenly found a reasonable outlet.
"The Wind"?
Really exciting!
