Although Zhang Yimou at this time has already reached a high status in the industry through films such as "Red Sorghum" and "Hang the Red Lantern High", and he is also the most well-known director, it is this "Hero" that really makes the whole people know him.

In 2002, the market was less than 1 billion, and his part accounted for a quarter, which deserved to be the first of the year.

Starting from the second place, there is a string of Hollywood blockbusters behind, and they are all sequels with great appeal, such as "The Lord of the Rings 3", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Star Wars Prequel 2" ...... "Mission Impossible 2".

But the box office of these movies in the mainland combined, it is on par with "Hero".

It's not that the appeal of Hollywood blockbusters is insufficient at this time, you must know that as early as four years ago, "Titanic" won nearly 400 million box office in the mainland, and "Saving Private Ryan" in the same year also won more than 80 million.

The reason is that Zhang Yimou and Li Lianjie are the pair, and there are big stars like Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu who are very attractive to mainland audiences, although Chen Daoming has been in the TV circle, but last year's popular "Kangxi Dynasty" was in the limelight, so that he also has a strong appeal, coupled with the new Mou girl Zhang Wuyi, the natural popularity is unprecedented.

Of course, it is also related to the improvement of the current living standard and entertainment atmosphere, there are more and more families with TVs, and naturally they have seen it from various TV promotions, and there is spare money to buy a movie ticket to relax.

Although Zhang Yimou has not yet been canonized as a god, for Zhang Jizhong and Ma Yun, it is enough to look up, not to mention Ning Yuan, who will witness his most glorious moment in the next ten years.

Seeing him coming, Ning Yuan and the others shook hands and said hello, a movie fan saw the posture of a star, even Ning Yuan, a reborn person, is not exempt from vulgarity, and most ordinary people in the future will be like thunder to him, not to mention Ning Yuan, who is in the industry.

Zhang Yimou smiled: "I know you, Xiao Huo also talked to me about you when we had a party the year before last, saying that he found a good seedling, and then I watched your play, which is really good." ”

He and Huo Jianqi are both from Jingying Level 78, but he is from the Department of Photography, while Huo Jianqi is from the Department of Fine Arts.

Generally speaking, the fifth-generation directors of China are basically the people of their generation, they are very grouped, and they have a good relationship with each other.

The only exception in the fifth generation is probably Feng Xiaogang, who rose at the same time, after all, he did not graduate from Jingying, of course, sometimes he will be counted, sometimes he will not be mentioned, and Feng Xiaogang doesn't care.

At this time, being able to get Zhang Yimou's praise, whether it is selling Huo Jian's face or not, at least it shows that he still has a good impression of Ning Yuan.

"Thank you, Director Zhang. Ning Yuan thanked.

Subsequently, Zhang Yimou introduced Li Lianjie and they met Ning Yuan.

Although they all shook hands, they didn't have Zhang Yimou's temperature, and in Ning Yuan's feelings, it was more like the casualness of celebrities shaking hands with fans, with a hint of impatience.

probably didn't know each other, or because they were too tired from filming recently, Ning Yuan gave them a reason.

After all, he is not money, so he can be liked by everyone.

When he was in school, Ning Yuan remembered a sentence in a text, "I have never been afraid to speculate on the ...... of Chinese people with the worst malice."

What exactly is referencing, Ning Yuan doesn't want to think about it too much, just literally, he has been doing this, he will not think about the bad side at the first time, but make excuses for others in his heart, even if that excuse does not exist at all.

Unless he hears or sees something with his own ears and with his own eyes, he will not stop the thought.

When leaving, Zhang Yimou shook hands with Ning Yuan again: "There will be opportunities to work together in the future." ”

"Thank you. Ning Yuan said with a smile.

Although attractive, this kind of rhetoric, like "having a chance to eat together", does not need to be overly considered.

Although Ning Yuan believes that he is completely qualified, and when the gold powder is broadcast, after the release of "New Police Story", the popularity will also open up in the Chinese area, but Zhang Yimou doesn't know it.

In fact, it's not all, going to Berlin to participate in the theater festival next month, Ning Yuan believes that he will win the award.

Although we should be culturally confident, a reality is that domestic awards, even if it is a golden pheasant, a lily, or even the highest gold lion award for drama, for the general public, and even some superficial industry insiders, it is not as good as a cat, three dogs, and four abroad.

In other words, what is the recognition of one's own people, and the recognition of outsiders is called ability.

Sounds reasonable, but compared to the real thing, it's pure fart!

Of course, the Berlin Theatertreffen is not counted, its gold content is still heavy, at least for the theater circle, you can't carry the drama alone here, after all, Peking Opera has also participated in it before, but at that time it was still invited to perform.

Although winning the award is Ning Yuan's goal, only if he performs well can he be awarded, and if he doesn't act well, he will not only lose his own people, after all, people will not say which drama is how, first of all, they will say that what drama in China is not good.

Because when they were talking to Zhang Yimou and them just now, Ning Yuan and the others said that they were here to look for locations this time, and Director Wang, who was next to them, also knew their intentions.

"Who contacted me before, who is Mr. Ma?"

After Zhang Yimou and the others left, Director Wang asked with a smile.

"I'm Wang Ju, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you now?" Ma Yun said with a smile.

"Why don't you wait a while? Give Zhang Dao them a meal at noon, hehe, you also know this, you need to take a break. ”

When Director Wang spoke, he hiccuped, and a smell came out, making Ning Yuan and them a little speechless.

"Well, it doesn't have to be too much trouble, we're-"

Without waiting for Ma Yun to finish speaking, Director Wang waved his hand as he turned his head and walked: "Let's talk about it later, you guys will rest for a while." ”

Looking at his departing back, Ning Yuan and the others frowned.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jizhong's face darkened.

Ma Yun patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said nothing.

Of course, Ning Yuan knew what he meant, this was not to treat them as dishes, or rather, there was something else.

Don't look at Zhang Yimou just came over to talk to them, but how could Director Wang not see that Ning Yuan and they were not familiar with him at all, otherwise, Zhang Yimou would not have said nothing, just the last polite sentence.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that it was still the lounge, and Ning Yuan and they were about to come to sleep, so they waited for the meeting.

The tourism bureau said that it was a unit, but in fact, at this time, when the tourism market was not heating up, it did not have much power.

So, after Zhang Jizhong roughly said his thoughts, this Wang Zhenfa smacked his lips and said:

"Support is definitely support, but we have limited funds, at most a little manpower, but you also know that the coordination of all aspects always needs people to run, this aspect ...... Can you sponsor some too?"

At this time, not to mention Zhang Jizhong, Ma Yun's face was dark, and it was light to say, but the meaning of these words, although I thought about it bigger, I really thought that there was a lack of travel and accommodation fuel expenses?

"Huh...... There shouldn't be any problems with that, right?"

Twisting his fingers, Wang Zhenfa turned his head to look out the window, where Ma Yun's gallop was parked.
