Chapter 371: Classic Memory
The tea party is about to start, this time, there are a lot of directors who come, the national teacher Zhang Yimou walked in slowly, always so unhurried, at this time some directors stood up and greeted Zhang Yimou, this is the benchmark of Chinese directors, every move can attract the attention of the media.
Zhang Yimou greeted everyone with a sincere smile, as if he was very approachable.
But the people who are familiar with him are very clear, Zhang Yimou is a very stubborn person, the kind of person who will never look back after recognizing the truth, especially in art, it has his own persistence, maybe it is because of Zhang Yimou's persistence that he has come to this point.
At this time, Jiang Wen, who had been sitting lazily in the front row, saw Zhang Yimou and immediately stood up and said: "Director Zhang, you are here, if this matter hadn't come, I wouldn't have come to this kind of meeting at all.
Jiang Wen is not polite at all, he speaks impulsively, he doesn't rub sand in his glasses, and he is also a very proud person. Of course, in front of Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wei still showed enough respect.
In fact, this meeting is the same, Jiang Wen only came by himself when he heard that Zhang Yimou would come, and he was not informed of this similar tea party in the past, and people didn't bother to come at all.
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "This is for the future of the film market, as a filmmaker, I always have to take time to pay attention to it, this year's box office is really chilling." ”
Even if Zhang Yimou said such a thing, it can be seen what the Huaxia film market has reached at this time.
Jiang Wen snorted and said, "Can you blame others for this? If it weren't for those people chirping crookedly, who did the Golden Rooster Award, and what kind of mayoral award, would you be a film award, or a commendation meeting held by the government, or something?" People like that deserve to be filmmakers. ”
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "You, this person, don't pay attention to what you say at all, what does it have to do with us when people play with others, you don't say those offensive words." It's good for your future, and you can't always rush it. "There are not many people who can criticize Jiang Wen, but the one who can criticize Jiang Wen and make Jiang Wen nod and listen to it is Zhang Yimou.
It seems that at this time, Jiang Wen seemed to have thought of something and said: "Director Zhang, I heard that your [no one is missing] but you have been shortlisted for Cannes, this time, there is great hope." ”
Zhang Yimou didn't feel proud of this, and said with a smile: "You can't say that." It's just a shortlist, it's not a big deal, and we can't be careless before the results are actually announced. ”
These words also attracted a burst of envy from the people around him, it was the Cannes Film Festival, this is the coveted honor of directors in the circle, let alone winning awards. Even if you can be shortlisted, it will be very difficult. If you can be invited to go to Cannes for a walk, you will definitely be worth twice as much when you come back.
But in Zhang Yimou's eyes, such an award seems to mean that the table is very light, and people seem to be accustomed to it.
But thinking about Zhang Yimou's experience, it seems that people really have such a qualification. At this time, Ye Ming and the others walked in. After coming in, they naturally said that they would talk to their acquaintances. Ye Ming saw the national teacher Zhang Yimou at a glance, and saw Jiang Wen, a ghost, and the two of them seemed to be chatting very energetically.
He walked over and greeted first, "Director Zhang, Director Jiang." I didn't expect the two of you to come so early. It seems that the leader has focused on the two of them. ”
In such a situation, that means that as long as it is the leader's unfocused advice, it is estimated that it will not come, these two people, arrogantly? Zhang Yimou glanced back at Ye Ming, and then said with a smile: "You kid, it is estimated that the leader pays more attention to you, otherwise you will not come."
You all say, how many meetings you have missed, the leaders are responsible, fortunately you are here today, otherwise, the leaders may send someone to Shanghai to arrest you at such a time. Today, the leader has great expectations for you, and I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the leader. ”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "I will naturally remember what Director Zhang said, but today, I don't think there is any hope for the leader." But that's just a formality. It's [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], I think, most of the managers who came this time are here for this. ”
No profit can not be early, which is very normal for businessmen.
Zhang Yimou also knows his second brother very well: "Star Wars, it's good in the United States, and I think it's really bloody this time." To be able to introduce this movie, it took a lot of effort for the third master. Ye Ming, you have to work harder, if your theater can show this movie, then the popularity will be able to start. Do you know what your theater is lacking?"
Zhang Yimou is an international director, although he doesn't play theaters, but he has been in this industry for so long, so he naturally explained something. At that moment, Ye Ming said very politely: "Please also ask Director Zhang for advice." ”
If you can get the guidance of the national teacher, the opportunity is very rare, especially if there is even less guidance from experts at this critical time. Zhang Yimou said with great certainty: "What you lack is the memory of the classics, although your theater is known to everyone with a five-yuan movie, but your brilliant theater still lacks the memory of the classics, if it is said that you can screen a blockbuster, it will be firmly remembered by everyone, such as [Star Wars] [Titanic] and so on A classic blockbuster is the root of the theater that will be firmly remembered by everyone." Perhaps, ten years, twenty years, or even your theater has disappeared, but the person who watched the blockbuster in your theater will always remember the classic blockbuster I saw when and where.
Back then, Keg and I saw the Shaolin Temple in a small auditorium in the unit, hehe, that kind of shock, let me play old-fashioned all my life, this is the classic memory. ”
Zhang Yimou's words made Ye Ming have a sudden look, and he began to think deeply about such a question, memory, classic memory, the most classic memory that can retain the hearts of the audience, this is the foundation of a movie theater. Just like Mount Tai, not necessarily, say how high, Mount Tai is estimated to be the height of the country's peaks is not even ranked in the top 100, but the cultural heritage of Mount Tai, the memory of generations of people, is its most valuable, it can be said that there is no mountain in China can leave such a deep impression in the Chinese civilization.
Therefore, the classic memory given to the audience by the theater is very important. Ye Ming's eyes lit up and said: "Classic memories, audience loyalty, do you mean that the audience has classic memories, and the first thing that comes to mind when watching movies in the future is the cinema chain they are familiar with, in this way, there will be more repeat customers?"
Zhang Yimou nodded very affirmatively and said: "Why is the status of the New Film Association unshakable in the capital, it really means that it has too many classic memories for everyone." ”
Thinking about it, classic memories are difficult to erase, but such a film doesn't seem to be easy to encounter, Ye Ming said that there is a [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], but this movie won't be released until next year.
[Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] To be honest, Ye Ming is not very optimistic, and later generations have proved this, so at this time, Ye Ming said with a smile: "I will pay attention to this matter, but I think the people of the New Film Association will not give me such an opportunity, the matter of the five-yuan movie experiment, so that many of their managers hate me, so even if it is said that the New Film Association gets the movie, it is difficult to say whether it will let me play it together." ”
Although Ye Ming's brilliant cinema line is affiliated with the New Film Federation, to be honest, the brilliant is settled independently, so it is normal for the New Film Federation not to give Ye Ming.
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was silent: "It seems that this is indeed the case, I knew that those guys would do this, they are jealous of you, but you just work hard, as long as it is said that the third master has spoken, then I will see which one dares not to listen, you just have to go and have a relationship." ”
The relationship between Han Shanping and Ye Ming is very good, therefore, in such a situation, Zhang Yimou hopes that Ye Ming can treat Li Ying well, the people of the New Film Association, it is also to give the third master a face. Hearing Zhang Yimou say such things, at this time, Ye Ming looked at Zhang Yimou's honest face, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that this person was not simple, not a character who could be flickered casually.
Ye Ming also listened to this, nodded and said: "When the time comes, I'll go to the third master, I can't look like it, we can't compare it horizontally and vertically, we do a thankless thing like a five-yuan movie ticket, but if it is a good movie like [Star Wars], it won't be given to us." ”
At this time, Ye Ming has enough reasons to apply for this movie, but the key is to see if Ye Ming has such a motive, and he will naturally not take care of it if he does not apply for the third master.
Of course, it is very difficult to say whether you can apply to see if you can pass guò. If you can get through the third master, then it is natural to say that there is no problem with a qiē.
After all, the third master is a well-known figure in the circle, at this moment, the hall suddenly quieted down, and the third master walked in slowly in a strict tunic suit. (To be continued......)
