Chapter 522 520. What a pity, comrade
"I hope that there will be more outstanding talents who can contribute to Chinese films in the Yichuang family. I also hope that more and more people with lofty ideals will join our Yichuang family and contribute to the prosperity of Chinese films."
"Thank you Director Xu!"
"Wow la la la la la..."
Amid the applause at the venue, Xu Xin stood next to Yang Mi and finished expressing his blessing.
There was a burst of applause from the audience.
Among the people who are familiar with Xu Xin in the audience, Wang Sicong put his arm around Jay Chou's shoulder and laughed:
"Hahahahaha, old Xu She is afraid! You can see that his face is red! Hahahaha..."
Lang Lang and Jay Chou were also having fun, looking at the friends on the stage who seemed to have no place to rest their hands, their teeth whitened.
On the other side, Song Wen, who was invited, was also applauding.
But it seems that he is preoccupied.
The eyes of the eight men and one woman sitting next to them were eager:
"Old Guo, when do you think we can be the ones to speak on stage?"
Hearing Wen Muye's words, Guo Fan said something bad:
"You can go now. Rush up to the stage, grab the microphone and send blessings to Xiying Studio, and no one will blame you."
"Bah."
Funkino rolled his eyes:
"You thick eyebrows and big eyes are such a dark heart!"
As the young talents invited by Xu Xin, these trainees also borrowed Xu Xin's light to appear on this occasion.
Take a closer look at these great directors and good actors.
Right now, I am in the midst of a celebration, and being infected by that atmosphere, I really feel a little bit excited.
Although Director Xu seemed a little nervous.
However, in this kind of occasion, being able to go on stage and speak is already very powerful.
Didn’t watch so many figures that I often see on TV, so I can only sit in the audience...
Actually, Fukino's judgment was correct.
Xu Xin and Yang Mi came to the stage, which is the best stage for the factory to send a signal of full support to the outside world.
But in terms of the establishment of the entire Yichuang House, at present, there is actually nothing to do with him.
Yichuang Home is a place to absorb excellent directors, screenwriters, and actors and help them to reach a higher level.
After joining with Yindu, it will be a bridge for communication and cooperation between the two parties.
Not to mention anything else, according to Tian Shuanghe's idea, it will become a talent database by then.
For example, the screenwriter troupe and actor troupe are now integrated into Yichuang Home as a whole.
The compilation is still in Xiying Studio, but their future development activities, script writing and so on must be submitted to the database of Yichuangjia.
Xi Film Studio will allocate 10 million director support funds every year, and select three to four film works from it.
The screenwriter provides the script, is selected, and takes a share of the money.
The director takes a fancy to the script, submits an application, selects it, and receives a share of money when the preparation begins.
Then the crew is ready to be set up, actors are found inside, the project is approved, filmed, and if it is funded, it is enough to directly seek support from the factory.
The investment money and support funds are not the same.
To put it bluntly, the directors who joined here are not bad, mainly the screenwriters, so they don't have to run around for food and clothing.
As we all know, the status of screenwriters is quite low in China.
A script with an investment of 10 to 20 million may cost less than 100,000 to the screenwriter.
Xi Film Studio wanted to give them an extra guarantee.
After several years, the scripts have accumulated to a certain amount, the director is ready to go, and the actors are reloaded.
The home of Yichuang is equivalent to Xiying Studio’s own incubation pool.
Excellent directors, actors, and screenwriters will move to a higher level here.
Great idea.
At least Xu Xin thinks so.
First recruit a group of mature actors, screenwriters, and directors, and attract those fresh graduates or outstanding talents who are outside a few circles to come here every year, and return to the big family where movies can best demonstrate their essence.
Yichuang Home is not a place where results can be achieved within a year or two.
But what about five, ten, or twenty years from now? As long as it has been operating in a healthy manner, there will be batch after batch of excellent works, which will be recorded on the screen and go to heaven.
As for Xu Xin's current position in Art Creation House, it is called - director club member.
Directors Club, Actors Club, Screenwriters Club, Creators Club.
Xiying Factory adopts such an unorthodox name at first glance, which sets the tone of the atmosphere of Yichuang House.
Everyone don’t have to be so tense, talk freely, just come to the club if you have nothing to do.
The regular activities every year are to learn the regulations and build a spiritual outlook.
This is one of the duties of a state-owned enterprise.
In the rest of the time, if the people inside have something to do, they can directly go to the leaders of various departments in the big office of Yichuang House, and just ask them to solve it.
Xu Xin is just a member, not in the leadership.
However, the copyright of Yang Mi's several books, including "Scary Step by Step" and "Thirty Three Days", has completed a copyright transfer process this year.
In the future, if these works are released on the market, the source will be attributed to the Yichuang Family.
The House of Famous Artistic Creation and Shuangwei will benefit together.
In about two years time, Qi Lei, one of the three top leaders of Yichuang House, will step down from the throne of financial power and hand it over to Xu Xin.
The name is correct and the words are smooth.
Yang Mi, Liang Bingning, and even Zhang Yi, who has no sense of presence below, can all be counted as Xu Xin's "power".
As a big leader, he is promoted, and the people below will naturally go up.
Liang Bingning's next goal is to be the head of the regiment after Gao Ming retires.
Zhang Yi's current goal is to be a first-class actor in the factory.
Same as Yang Mi.
Because only when the internal rating reaches the first level, the two can continue to go down.
The cadres, the deputy head, the head, followed Xu Xin step by step.
Even counting, if Wen Muye and Guo Fan are interested in going this way, they are all considered to be from Xu Xin's department.
Because everyone is sitting here through his relationship.
Let's go a little further, if Xu Xin can finally become the head of the group, then even if this group of people has mediocre achievements in movies and TV shows, they can also be said to be on the rise as they hold important positions in various departments.
The premise is that the West Film Studio is thriving, not plummeting.
In Xu Xin's heart, Mr. Tian and the others will grow old one day, but the inheritance of the faction will move forward step by step, and will not be diverted by anyone's will.
So, in the eyes of ordinary people, Director Xu does not seem to hold any important position.
But in the eyes of insiders, today, as representatives of the younger generation of directors and actors, he and Liang Bingning, who spoke, have been labeled as "direct descendants" of Xiying Studio.
In the future, it will be the prosperity of the eight classics, and the loss of one.
As for the actors and leaders of Xiangjiang...
It can only be said that Qianglong can’t suppress the local snakes, and it will take time for Yindu to transfer its business back to the mainland.
It also takes time to adapt to the mainland.
And what happens in the end... It depends on who is more up-to-date.
Is Director Xu the best in the world?
Or is Xiangjiang crossing the river where dragons and tigers dominate?
Hard to say.
Healthy competition.
Who will win the game is still unknown.
…
After the celebration, there is a feast.
After the feast, it is the end of the work.
Although Zhang Yimou is not a very withdrawn person, his social world is relatively simple.
For the sake of his daughter's future in the morning, he took Zhang Mo to wander around these old friends. After lunch, Zhang Mo went directly to Lao Zhu with two cups of milk tea.
She was in charge of the English side of editing the subtitles.
After all, she majored in architecture and literature at Columbia University. In terms of Chinese-English translation, some of her words may be more poetic than other translations.
Once she was busy, the old man lost the interest to continue socializing.
It happened that Yang Mi was done with her work, so the two of them went back to the Royal Garden.
He would like to spend a while with the two little guys.
Xu Xin and Qi Lei started to finish yesterday's work.
"The Voice" was recorded normally in the afternoon, and F3 went to rest after eating.
Xu Xin made some arrangements for himself, his senior brother and sister, and arranged for them to go with Zhang Mo.
Go and watch the clip of "The Hawthorn Tree", and after watching it, come to yourself.
Xu Xin will formally invite them at that time.
Join the Director's Club of Art Creation House.
People in Yichuangjia need to join Xiying Studio, but people in the club don't.
The rules are relatively loose, and they can enjoy the benefits of Xiying Studio as a backer, but the cooperation conditions are not so harsh.
At first glance, the director’s club is quite loose, but in fact, it is not easy to leave after getting used to all the conveniences provided by the factory, from equipment and themes to venues, equipment and personnel.
At least, there are no mandatory clauses in the club, such as "only the works of Xiying Studio can be filmed".
Even if these directors work closely with which company, it doesn't matter.
To put it bluntly, the underlying logic of the entire Yichuangjia is to play a win-win situation.
In this era where everyone sticks together and finds circles for everything, Xu Xin asked himself... Mr. Tian's idea is really far-sighted.
Open the door of convenience widely, and you will have your own magic method.
This kind of courage...ordinary people really can't achieve it.
After they settled down, Guo Fan and the others went to walk with Zhang Mo, and Xu Xin followed Qi Lei back to the office again.
In just one cigarette, Song Wen and the others knocked on the door.
"Director Xu, President Qi."
"Well, welcome everyone, come, come, sit down."
Xu Xin looked enthusiastic.
It seems that Song Wen never made the call yesterday.
The four nodded politely, and after taking their seats, Xu Xin asked with a smile:
"How was the morning celebration?"
"It feels very good. So many big names in the industry have come, and we have learned about the various benefits of Yichuang House. We are very tempted."
"Haha, if you come to the factory, the benefits are better than theirs. After all, the four major clubs of Yichuang House are a loosely structured alliance. But as internal staff, if you have the ability to write or direct, the project approval can be directly If you send it to the factory, you don’t need to go through the Yichuang home. The so-called proximity to the water and the advantages will be greater.”
After finishing speaking, he smiled and asked:
"How are you thinking about the film festival?"
"Well…"
Seeing that Director Xu was so straight to the point, Song Wen simply stopped hiding.
"We took a proposal to Director Xu and President Qi, please take a look."
While he was talking, Li Ziwei opened the briefcase.
took out two documents.
Qi Lei and Xu Xin each have a share, take it over and have a look...
"About the "Xi'an (Tentative) Film Festival" Project Proposal"
"This is the development idea of the college student film festival that we referred to last night, as well as some disadvantages of the current domestic film festivals. At the same time, there are a series of staff training regulations, film review standards, jury formation, etc. All of our opinions on the film festival Consideration and experience are all in it.”
When he said this, Xu Xin directly turned to the last page.
The number in the lower right corner of the last page is 47.
A 47-page proposal.
Song Wen's eyes are full of sincerity:
"Director Xu, this is the most comprehensive and detailed plan we have been able to make so far."
"Well…"
Xu Xin seemed to hear something, and looked away from the plan.
"President Song means..."
"I'm sorry, Director Xu... President Qi."
He sat up straight, eyes full of guilt:
"It's because we are too ignorant of flattery. But... Binzi's family is also a member of our small group. We discussed for a long time yesterday. Although we understand that Director Xu has promised us, it may only take a year or two. It can return to normal. But the child of Binzi’s family will start elementary school in September this year, and we really can’t let him leave the child for a long time.”
Now, Xu Xin understood what he meant.
Looking at the plan, he thought for a while and said:
"Actually, it hasn't been that long. If it is soon, it may be online next year..."
"Director Xu, it's like this."
Xu Kaibin replaced Song Wen and chose to speak:
"Actually, I also persuaded everyone yesterday. I said that if it doesn't work, I will go back to Yanjing to take care of the children, and I will come back to help everyone after I get back to normal...
But everyone means, we are a collective.
And we can understand what Director Xu said yesterday. After all, any company or small group is unacceptable. But we still decided not to separate...
But we are also afraid of disappointing Director Xu, Mr. Qi, and Xiying Studio’s kindness. Therefore, this proposal is our apology. It contains all our working experience in the past few film exhibitions, and we are still preparing people there, summarizing a solution to the problems that have been summed up by the grassroots employees.
In about two days, we will send it to Director Xu’s mailbox. "
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Xu Xin didn't know for a moment whether to be silent about their "stupidity" or to touch their unity.
Say stupid, it's not false at all.
A broad road is placed in front of you, and you don’t want to go.
It happened to be rejected.
Maybe in the face of such interests, they are not tempted, but continue to pursue the dream in their hearts with pure goals, and the four of them go hand in hand...
"well."
Thinking of this, he sighed.
Presents...heavy.
is also the most needed in the factory.
He appreciates it.
But feedback must also be given.
It’s not about violating the factory’s principles and giving a green light.
The current situation is obviously that everyone has no fate, but it does not prevent everyone from becoming friends.
As a friend, his promise is:
"It seems that we have no destiny..."
Hearing this, a trace of guilt appeared on the faces of the four people.
After all, in these two days, Director Xu and Xiying Studio can also be said to be corporals.
It is not too much to say that they do not know good from bad.
"Since this is the case, I can only wish you great success and a bright future. However, since I can't become a comrade, it doesn't hinder my promise to you. At the film festival, I promised you that if you need me to help Yes, you can call me anytime. That promise is still valid..."
Speaking of this, Xu Xin paused and asked curiously:
"Then do you have any goals for the next step?"
"We... want to go to Xining."
"...?"
"???"
Hearing this, let alone Xu Xin, even Qi Lei couldn't help showing doubts on his face.
"Xining?"
"Yes, Xining. Our university principal when we were in school, who was also the founder of a few film training clubs we met, got in touch with us through the introduction of the school. After hearing about our plight, we told Xu Before the director talked about this matter, he also sent us an invitation. Although Xining is not the soil for movies...but they are actually similar to Xiying Film Studio. My senior is currently in charge of cultural tourism in XN City. He invited us to go and have a look .”
"Haha, so our partner failed to make it, but it is possible to become a competitor?"
Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh.
Not laughing out of anger, but relieved:
"Huh... But, this is good news. At least, I don't have to worry about where the four of you are going."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The aboveboard words can almost be said to shake the hearts of the four people at this moment.
The heart of this man...
Like those heroes in martial arts novels...
It seems to be glowing!
Obviously laughing but not bold, but that kind of heroic loyalty is really like light, piercing the life without half a bit of disgust...
Can't wait to follow in his footsteps.
But...they are not destined to be homeless people.
One prospers all, one loses all.
Not being able to cooperate with him...maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life, right?
With this regret, Song Wen said sincerely:
"Although our ability is very weak, as long as Director Xu needs us, we will definitely help! It is our duty!"
"Hmm. Each other!"
Xu Xin smiled and stood up.
stretched out his hand:
"I accepted the gift, and on behalf of the factory, we regret not being able to become partners with you. But at the same time, we hope that you will have a bright future in the future. Comrade Song Wen! Comrade Li Ziwei! Comrade Li Ningning! Comrade Xu Kaibin! I wish you every success, come on!"
Obviously, I have heard the term "comrade" not 10,000 times, but also 8,000 times.
But at this moment, after Director Xu said it, when the four of them stood up, for some reason, they all felt... an inexplicable impulse.
he…
He called us comrades.
Although I can't become a partner.
But this comrade...
Worth more than anything else!
…
"well."
Four people came for a total of less than 20 minutes.
After leaving the proposal, he left.
Then, they were about to embark on a journey to Xining, but in the office, after closing the door, Xu Xin let out a somewhat melancholy sigh.
"It's really a pity."
"yes."
Qi Lei couldn't help but nodded:
“Although I feel that I am still a little impulsive, it is rare for me to have a new understanding of the word “unity” at my age.”
As he spoke, he looked down at the plan:
"They are all kind people. They kept the most precious things."
"Um…"
Then there was no sound in the office.
One for each of the two, and began to read these proposals.
It's okay if you don't look at it, you can tell it at a glance... People really put their minds to it.
All aspects from the procedures to the functions of the various departments in the early stage, as well as entry points, etc., have been recorded in detail.
It can be said that with this note, at least the preliminary preparations are completely fine.
This silence lasted for about half an hour.
Xu Xin rubbed his eyes after reading the first half, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Mo:
"Sister Mo, have you finished watching?"
"Well, it's over. I'm talking to Director Zhu about subtitles."
"Then let Lao Guo and the others come over."
"good."
The phone hung up, and Qi Lei also raised his head.
After throwing Xu Xin a cigarette, he asked:
"How do you brothers feel?"
"Frankly speaking, they are all pretty good. The theory is quite solid, and they are also very hardworking. If it weren't for that kind of person, I wouldn't be able to pull them over."
"Then put it in the director's club to hone it first?"
"That's what I mean too."
Xu Xin nodded:
"Although the House of Art Creation has been established, there is really no rush for new blood. Whether it is the film festival or some of our benefit strategies, it will take time. I talked with Mr. Tian earlier , I said that the momentum may have been mediocre in the past two years, and we still have to rely on our works to support it. But once we get enough support in a certain year, no matter from the perspective of literature or box office, we will become famous at that time, and many people will admire it Coming here is no problem.”
Speaking of this, he sighed...
"We still have to leave everything to time."
Qi Lei nodded:
"Wait a little longer."
Wait and wait.
After waiting for a while, Wen Muye and the others came.
"Here you come? Come, come, sit down. Let me introduce to you, this is Qi Lei, President Qi issued by our factory director..."
Using himself as a bridge, Xu Xin began to pave the way for several senior brothers.
Compared with Song Wen and the others, Wen Muye and Guo Fan are actually much easier to talk to.
I am a student myself, so far I have made no achievements.
But you want to say that they don't understand the film and television industry at all? That's not enough.
In the film and television industry, they are like a bright mirror in their hearts.
My group of people are invisible people.
But at this very moment, he was able to sit in the office of the boss of the distribution company of Xiying Studio. It goes without saying whose blessing it was.
In a trance, several people had an illusion.
Be able to worship under the teacher.
Really lucky.
While others are still worrying about their mentor's thesis and their own uncertain future, because of their mentor's relationship, they can already use the light of their juniors to embark on a path with a higher starting point.
Knew it.
When I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, when I asked those brothers and sisters, the warnings I got were not wrong at all.
When taking the postgraduate entrance examination, what to study is secondary.
The main thing is...you have to be able to find a competent mentor.
If you can find this kind of mentor, then your graduate career is already half successful.
Tut.
Seniors and sisters do not deceive me.
Really~
