Tong Ya sat on the sofa on the side of the office, holding a glass of water in her hand, and was looking at Zhou Fangyuan cautiously.

Zhou Fangyuan sat behind the desk and talked on the phone, to be honest, this scene was completely different from what she imagined and remembered.

In her memory, the last time she met Zhou Fangyuan, it was on Hong Kong Island. Although the two met once or twice later, the most impressive was undoubtedly the first time they met. At that time, he accidentally bumped into the other party, but he sprained his foot, after learning that the other party was the organizer of the event, her heart was full of regret and fear, for fear that the other party would find trouble for herself, and when she returned to the group, she would definitely be criticized, and maybe she would be punished...... But in fact, Zhou Fangyuan not only didn't blame her, but also sent her to the hospital, paid for her medical expenses, and saved her from trouble.

Although the friends who were together at that time all joked that the other party had taken a fancy to them, Tong Ya knew that it was impossible. People are so rich, they are just a child of an ordinary family, how can people like themselves.

But then, her idea began to waver.

The main reason is that Zhou Fangyuan took care of her too comprehensively, and he was the best doctor for treatment, the best ward care, and all kinds of supplements, and later even wanted to invite himself to join his media company. At that time, Tong Ya was confused in her mind, and she agreed to the other party in a daze. Later, my father said that it was not suitable, and he went to Beitong and came to the capital to see if his industry was real.

Yes, it's true, but Dad still doesn't agree.

Tong Ya still remembers that she locked herself in her room and cried for a long time, she felt that her "love" was stifled by her father, but she couldn't resist her father, and she didn't know how to resist, so she could only endure the discomfort in her heart and accept her father's arrangement. Fortunately, the company was generous to her, allowing her to sign a temporary contract, and at the same time helping her solve the problem of going to school, while going to school, she could also take on some small activities, and at the same time receive some professional training, which is simply unthinkable for other young people who want to become stars.

But it happened to her, how could she be unhappy?

As a result, it didn't take long for the happy time to come out, and a series of plans from Yuanfang Media came out, although her father found the company in time to sign a formal contract for herself, but she knew that she had missed the best opportunity after all. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when I came to the company a few days ago, I saw several fresh faces, all of whom were very young. And the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and at first glance he is a newcomer signed by the company. Originally, I was supposed to be the most valued newcomer in the company, but now, it's really hard to say.

Looking at Zhou Fangyuan and watching him call, Tong Ya was a little happy, because she finally saw this big brother again, but she was also a little sad, she didn't know if the big brother still liked herself, if he didn't like herself anymore, what should she do in the future...... And the big brother is not the same as before, he used to laugh like the big brother next door, but now the big brother has a different feeling, and he feels more severe, just like his father......

Still, he's so handsome!

Tong Ya thought silently in her heart.

......

"Hey, is it Director Li?"

People in the circle, the phone is not something too difficult to inquire about.

If you are a layman and want to get the phone number of the director or star in the circle, it is extremely difficult, and ordinary people do not have the ability to do so, and it is impossible to get these calls.

But Sun Jing is different, not to mention the current momentum of Yuanfang Media in China, let's just say that Sun Jing herself has been mixed in the circle for many years, and after graduating from college, she entered a company in the entertainment industry, started from the bottom, and became an assistant manager in three years, which can be regarded as a young talent. Although the company she worked for at that time was really not a big company, to be honest, it was not much better than Distant Media, and it was far inferior to Distant Media compared to its potential. But after all, she is an executive, and she usually contacts various people in the circle, so her connections are relatively wide.

Director Li's phone number Sun Jing didn't have it, but others did, she only needed to ask, and she asked it easily.

Who made her a hot female president now, as long as she is not a person who has a grudge against her, or deliberately wants to get in the way, such a small thing can not be done in minutes?

After getting the phone, Zhou Fangyuan called directly, waited for about ten seconds, and then picked up the phone on the other side.

"It's me, you're it?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side of the phone, very calm, and the voice was not unpleasant.

"Hello Director Li, I'm Zhou Fangyuan from Yuanfang Media. ”

Zhou Fangyuan reported to his home.

Director Li on the other side was obviously stunned, probably after a while of afterthought, he suddenly reacted, "Hahaha, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou, fortunately, why did you remember to call me?"

Director Li's voice became enthusiastic.

Also, who doesn't know about Far Media now, not only celebrities want to join Far Media, including those directors and behind-the-scenes workers, but also a large number of people want to establish a cooperative relationship with Far Media Media. And even if you don't establish a cooperative relationship, watching the rise of another small jaw in the media circle, fools know how to make a good fate.

"Actually, I've wanted to talk to Director Li for a long time, haven't you always had a chance? It just so happens that I have time today, and I just returned to the capital, just like this invites Director Li to have a meal, do you think you have time?"

In fact, according to Lao Li'er, dinner is generally arranged three days in advance. Three days in advance, two days in advance, two days in advance, the same day to contact, then a bit of a disgrace. Generally speaking, it is people who are very special and very close to each other to be like this, or a family will be so unsophisticated, otherwise it will make people laugh when they say it.

Zhou Fangyuan also had no choice, Sun Jing had never been able to solve the matter on the baby's side before, because there had always been something on her side, so Sun Jing had never told herself. Now that the movie is about to start filming, and all other preparations have been completed, he knows that there is no news from the baby's side.

It's also thanks to him that he still knows about the baby's participation in "Blind Well", otherwise he wouldn't have thought of making a call to Director Li, and now that the phone is connected, it is naturally too early to be late.

Although it was indeed rude to suddenly call the other party to dinner or something, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't care about it so much. And he himself has already figured it out, sometimes people are like this, now he is far from strong, rich and people have a way, I don't know how many people want to take his trip, he takes a shelf a little, or cares a little less about etiquette, I believe the other party will not say anything. And if you think about it more carefully, not only will the other party not say anything, but they will be very happy.

In fact, he didn't guess wrong, after hearing his words, Director Li paused for a moment, and sure enough, he laughed closely.

"Mr. Zhou has an invitation, of course I can't refuse, but it's really unfortunate, I happen to have something here, and I'm not in the capital now, you see ......"

Then there's not much to say.

No one is in the capital, whether it's true or not, you can't do it for dinner.

"Mr. Zhou, what's the matter with you?"

At the end, Director Li asked.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just want to get to know Director Li, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"That is, if you have time, when I return to the capital, I will definitely call Mr. Zhou, by the way, is this your phone number?"

"Well, this is my private number, Director Li, you are a busy person, you are busy with you first, when you have time, let's take the time to sit down." ”

"That's a good ...... for daring"

"By the way, there's something I need to ask you about. ”

"You say ......"

"In this way, I have a movie that is ready to start filming you know, in fact, everything is ready, and now there is only one male number two. I've heard of a guy before, who, although he's a trickster, is said to have good acting skills, and I'd like to ask you if you know where this person is now. ”

"What ......do you mean?"

"Baby, have you heard of this man?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked with a smile.

Director Li was silent for a moment, and only after a moment did he chuckle, "It turns out that this is your real purpose, Mr. Zhou." ”

"Hehe, Director Li, you misunderstood by saying this, it's true to find someone, it's also true to know you, speaking of which, I actually want to get to know you more than looking for someone. ”

Zhou Fangyuan continued to laugh.

He didn't lie, Director Li, he is actually not a famous director in the circle, ordinary people don't know this person's name, this person's directorial career is actually quite average, the movies he made belong to the kind that are not popular, and he can't sell much at the box office, but he can also win awards.

However, his performance in the future is not very good, Zhou Fangyuan still remembers that he had a super god movie before he was reborn, talking about these things in the entertainment industry, at that time, the score on a certain petal can be described as half of the dive, or he never got up. Not only that, but the box office is also rubbish, and the whole movie is simply unwatchable. is such a movie, it actually crushed Director Li's other movie released at the same time, and Director Li's movie almost didn't reach a fraction of the previous masterpiece.

But this can't be said that Director Li is not level, his level is still there.

For example, in 91, he filmed the documentary "Women's Kingdom" for German television. In 94, he filmed the documentary "Happy Swan Song". In 96, he also created the documentary "Traces" for the 50th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War.

Until this year, he directed his first film "Blind Well", and finally the film was shortlisted for the Best Film Award at the 40th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and also won the Silver Bear Award for Best Artistic Contribution at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival.

In another ten years, that is, 13 years later, he was also shortlisted for the Best Art Direction Award at the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for the youth romance movie "To Our Dying Youth". In 14 years, he served as the screenwriter of the war movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain 3D", which was shortlisted for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 30th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.

It can be said that the level of this person is definitely there.

In his previous life, many people praised him, saying that his works showed a strong pursuit of realism in both content and form, that he maintained the unity of the content and the coherence of style in his works, and that his films revealed a strong cold and realistic style. This can be seen from his early documentaries, whose film and television works are mainly presented by marginal characters, and unlike the metaphorical abstract artistic aesthetics and the knowledge concept of learning the wheel, Director Li's documentary presentation of realistic themes can more directly point to the cultural soil and social environment. Being close to reality, paying attention to marginalized people, documentary style, and niche have become his labels.

But to be honest, the bad is bad in this niche.

What is a minority? A small number of people is called a minority.

The more niche the movie, the more difficult it is to sell tickets, after all, it is detached from the aesthetics and entertainment concept of hitting, and most audiences don't buy it.

It can not be said that the public's aesthetics are not good, nor can it be said that the niche entertainment concept is not right, each has its own good and its own shortcomings, it can only be said that people's preferences are different, some people's preferences are very popular, and some people's preferences are very small, but for a businessman, the pursuit of the public is the most important. After all, to make money, it is still necessary to consider the opinions of more audiences. Director Li may really have a pursuit, but as a result, he went farther and farther on the road of the niche, and in the end, the small number of niche audiences didn't like his works very much, and I have to say that he has gone astray.

But it must be admitted that the existence of this kind of person is very meaningful, and if the entire film art is a popular aesthetic, it is not a good thing for the film art.

There is a good saying in Lao Guo's cross talk, "Elegant to the extreme, not romantic", maybe Director Li is too extreme in terms of "elegance", too vulgar and too elegant, but the ultimate elegance can also provide more choices for art in many cases.

So I can't say whether Director Li is right or wrong, but for this kind of person, Zhou Fangyuan still admires it, at least this person can stick to his own path, and he can stick to it regardless of success or failure, which is also remarkable. And later in his life, he also criticized the domestic theater chain in an interview, although there may be an element of anger in his words, but that is also a fact.

Therefore, saying that he wants to get to know each other, this is not nonsense, of course, it is not entirely true, anyway, one more friend, many roads, multiple enemies and many walls, Zhou Fangyuan understands this truth, he is willing to know more people, people like Director Li, of course, he will not refuse.

Maybe his tone was indeed quite sincere, and Director Li didn't show any displeasure, he hehe.

"I understand what Mr. Zhou meant, so let's do it, I may return to the capital in three days, why don't we meet and talk about it?"

"Of course you can, I'll sweep the couch to greet Director Li at that time. ”

"It's over, Mr. Zhou, you're too much. ”

Director Li said with a smile.

As a result, it was still paid three days later, anyway, the filming of the movie was not bad for these three days, so I just waited for three days to meet and talk about it.
