When Nie Wei returned to Kyoto, the first thing he did was to go to the Directors Guild to accept the position of vice president.

The rumors on the Internet are not groundless, in fact, if it weren't for Nie Wei being too young now and looking too young among the forty or fifty seniors, these people would have the heart to push Nie Wei to the position in the next presidential election.

But even if these people originally intended, Nie Wei was still unwilling.

It's okay to be a vice president, but if you are the president, you must represent the directors of the whole China and speak for the interests of the directors of the whole China.

This position is like the leader of the martial arts alliance in ancient times, nominally the leader of the director in the circle, who can enjoy the status of the scenery, and naturally has to bear the pressure brought by the status, such as speaking out for the interests of Chinese directors, organizing various guild activities, etc., it is a position that is both busy and easy to offend.

Nie Wei feels that his reputation is high enough, he really doesn't need a president position to embellish it, the key is that he really doesn't have time to take care of those things in the guild, if he really sits in the position of president, most of the time he will become the one in the top tank, after all, the tree is big and cool, with Nie Wei, a towering tree, everyone should rely on it.

Fortunately, the seniors of the Directors Guild are also face-loving masters, and no one wants to be managed by a young man in his early thirties, even if it is nominal, even if this young man's achievements are unprecedented and dazzling, but the face that should not be put down is still not able to let go.

Even this vice president, Nie Weidu, was only in name, and he was not responsible for any affairs in the guild at all.

In fact, Nie Wei was one of the directors of the Huaxia Directors Guild before, but this time he just changed his name and sounded better.

After accepting the appointment of the Directors Guild, Nie Wei hurried back to Jingdian to give a speech to the students of the director department.

Although it is nominally a speech to the students of the directing department, it is true that more students from the acting department come, after all, the Jingdian directing department has fewer students every year, and the acting department is different, it is the largest department in the academy, and the number of students is five or six times that of the directing department.

When Nie Wei came on stage, he also saw that many teachers were in the audience, and he was immediately happy.

"Standing here, I realized that when I was in class before, I was distracted and engaged in small movements below, and I felt that it was very hidden, but the teacher on the stage actually saw it clearly, so, Mr. Wang, please put away your mobile phone and listen carefully. Nie Wei was the first to name his teacher Wang Jinsong.

Wang Jinsong, who was replying to his daughter's text message in the audience, was suddenly named by Nie Wei, startled, and when he came back to his senses, he blushed and pointed at Nie Wei on the stage, glaring at him with a threatening look.

This feels so good, maybe Lao Wang didn't expect that one day his students would be able to give him a lecture on stage. Nie Wei was not stunned at all, and teased Wang Jinsong with a smile.

The students, who had been holding back their laughter just now, couldn't hold back anymore this time, and they all laughed out loud.

In the laughter of the students, Lao Wang was about to come to the stage, and Nie Wei waved his hand to apologize, calming Wang Jinsong, who was impulsive because of anger.

After making a joke, Nie Wei quickly returned to the topic.

"Many people ask me how to be a good director, and I ask him a question every time, that is, what is the director in his understanding?" Nie Wei glanced at the audience and asked with a smile: "Is there any student on the scene who can give me an answer?"

With Nie Wei's question, many classmates immediately raised their hands and answered enthusiastically, Nie Wei looked at it and picked a girl who was pleasing to the eye.

"The director is the leader of the crew, the king!" the girl replied loudly.

"Are you from the directing department?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.

"Yes. The girl nodded and replied proudly.

"Well, it seems that there will be a queen in the director's circle in the future, great answer, this classmate can sit down. Nie Wei looked at the audience again and continued to ask, "Does anyone else have a different answer?"

Many people raised their hands again, and Nie Wei chose a male classmate this time.

"I think a director should be a good communicator, as a director, you should be good at listening to the feelings of the actors, as well as the feelings of the various staff members of the crew, and then connect the ideas of these people and twist them together in order to create a good work. ”

"It also makes sense, please sit down with this classmate, does anyone have a different understanding?"

"I ......"

After Nie Wei asked five or six classmates, he felt that he almost didn't ask any more.

"Actually, everyone is right, whether it is to be the king of the crew, or to be the bridge of the crew, or other ways to lead the crew to success, these answers are correct, because this is your own directorial style choice. ”

"What is a director, there are many answers to this question, and there is no right or wrong, because this is the path you choose to take, and it depends on you how to go, but what I want to say is that although there is no accurate answer to this question, there is an answer that is destined to be wrong. ”

After Nie Wei said this, he used the computer and typed four words on the LED screen.

"Go with the flow?" many students whispered this idiom that everyone is familiar with.

I believe that this idiom is familiar to everyone, go with the flow, with the waves of the waves, with the flow of the current, to describe the lack of a firm position, lack of judgment of right and wrong, only know the meaning of following the current. ”

And these four words are precisely the director's taboo. When Nie Wei said this, his expression was very serious.

Drifting with the crowd, that is, following the crowd in the circle, this is also the most toxic thing in the Chinese film and television industry in Nie Wei's eyes, how prosperous the film market in Hong Kong was at the beginning, known as Oriental Hollywood, it was because too many film production companies and directors followed the crowd, and the result was dragged down.

Up to now, Hong Kong's movies can only rely on the snort of the mainland market to live, and Hong Kong stars are no longer the scenery of the past, except for a few veteran artists, among the stars of the new generation, Nie Wei doesn't know any of them.

Hong Kong dramas that were once popular in the mainland have now become a joke, and they have also caused two poles of Hong Kong dramas in the mainland's reputation, that is, some old Hong Kong dramas are regarded as classics by some mainland audiences, but new Hong Kong dramas have become synonymous with shoddy production.

The main reason for the loneliness of the film and television market in Hong Kong is to go with the flow.

Too many follow-up works lead to a lack of creativity in the entire market environment, and everyone follows which theme is popular, and there is no novelty with it.

You are making comedies and it is popular, then I will also make comedies, you are called "The King of Comedy", I am called "The King of Comedy", and similar to all these things, there are countless in the most glorious era of Hong Kong films.

Everyone only focuses on the immediate benefits, but forgets about the future development of the market.

And those directors who were originally very talented because they succumbed to the production company, they could only become a tool for them to make money, and gradually lost their aura and became ingenious, and it was difficult to make any good works.

"The director, who is the leader and organizer of the crew, you just have to convey your ideas to everyone in the crew, and then let them implement them, to turn your ideas into reality, this is the work you have to do, if you go with the flow, the first thing it will take out is your most precious thoughts. ”

"If a director has no mind of his own, he will become a marionette, just ask, can such a director make a good work?"

The atmosphere at the scene was very quiet, no one was giggling anymore, those students in the directing department, everyone had a solemn and contemplative expression on their faces, and even the students of other departments couldn't laugh at the moment, especially the acting department, as actors, they would actually face similar problems.

Nie Wei gave a speech for an hour, and when it was about to end, Nie Wei announced something on the stage.

"Starting in the second half of this year, I will build five movie theaters in Kyoto and Mingzhu, and these five movie theaters will not be used to show any commercial films. ”

The students in the audience were stunned, first, they didn't understand why Nie Wei was talking to them about the movie theater, was it to show off his wealth? But there was really no need, Nie Wei was very rich, this is something that everyone knows, there may be no richer person in Huaxia than him.

The second is that movie theaters don't show commercial movies, is it an art theater?

This is possible, in fact, the Star Cinema Line now also has art theaters, not many, just ten, distributed in Kyoto, Pearl, Yangcheng and other ten first- and second-tier cities.

This is also the largest art theater in the country, after all, there are too few art films that can go on the screen, and only showing art films must lose money, that is, Nie Wei, can bear this loss, but he has also won a good reputation among the group of art directors, after all, even art directors hope to see their movies released in the cinema.

"I want to make these five movie theaters into student theaters, and at this point, I would like to mention my other plan. ”

"I'm going to set up a fund to support those outstanding students who want to make films, but can't put them into action because of financial problems, there will be some places every year, and those students who are selected by the school can apply for a certain amount of funding, and even can rent equipment from the school at a very low price, and then the filmed films will be shown in these five cinemas. ”

Before Nie Wei finished speaking, the director department in the audience was already messed up.

Because the news was so surprising that they couldn't believe it was true for a while.

At that moment, some students couldn't wait, and they didn't care about the rules, so they stood up and asked Nie Wei on the stage loudly: "Director Nie, is what you said true? Can we really apply for filming funds from the fund you want to set up?"

"This requires the recommendation and review of the school, but as long as the school recommends it, we will approve it. ”

"How many can I apply for?" asked another directing student, standing up.

"Tentatively set at 200,000 to 500,000 yuan, according to the outline of the script you submitted, and then decided by the school teacher, but every money you spend during the filming period must be recorded, and it will be handed over to the school for review at that time, and you can't use this money for other personal consumption. ”

"No, definitely not!" Knowing that they could apply for 200,000 to 500,000 yuan, all the students of the directing department stared at Nie Wei with bright eyes, which was like looking at a living God of Wealth.

At this moment, in their eyes, Nie Wei is really their God of Wealth.

After answering a few more questions from the students and satisfying their curiosity about the new fund, Nie Wei began to say the unfinished words.

"So, the students of the directing department here, work hard, let the teachers of the school see your excellent performance, and also win the first money for yourself that may be used according to your own wishes, even if it is not much, but I believe that this will be a very precious asset in your directorial career. ”

Nie Wei's voice landed, and thunderous applause rang out at the scene.

After taking a group photo with hundreds of students, Nie Wei left the venue surrounded by a group of teachers.

The students from the other departments quickly dispersed, after all, Nie Wei was gone, so what was the point of them staying here, but the students of the directing department all stayed, and everyone was chattering about the things that Nie Wei said at the end just now, all of them looked excited.

"500,000 yuan, as long as we save a little, we can make a two-hour regular movie. ”

"Wake up, Nie Wei said that it is 200,000 to 500,000, you may not be able to apply for 500,000, no, you may not be able to apply. ”

"Phew, you can't apply, but even if it's 200,000, it's a lot, a short movie is more than enough, the key is not limited to the subject matter, this is great, how you want to shoot it. ”

"Senior Brother Nie Wei is really good, he is completely thinking about us, no wonder he wants to say these words today, that is, to tell us to know how to stick to our inner thoughts, and give us the opportunity to practice. ”

"If I win the Oscar in the future, the first thing I want to thank when I come to the stage is Senior Brother Nie. ”

"Hahaha, you dream. ”

On the other hand, Jingdian still had Wang Jinsong come forward and send Nie Wei to the parking lot, and at the same time talk about the fund just mentioned.

In fact, Nie Wei had already passed the gas with Jingdian half a year ago, but because of the construction of the waiting theater, it was not made public, until the construction of the theater was basically completed not long ago, and this speech was a good opportunity, Nie Wei discussed it with the school, and he simply announced the result at the end of the speech.

"Teacher, even if you boldly recommend it, you don't have to think about saving me money. ”

"I'm not going to save you money. Wang Jinsong said with a smile, but then seriously assured: "Nie Wei, don't worry, we will definitely do a good job on the school's side, we won't help you save money, but we won't let you waste a penny." ”

"Teacher, I believe your words. Nie Wei, who had already walked to his car, turned around and shook hands with Wang Jinsong, and said, "Teacher, go back, I'll bring good wine next time." ”

"Then I'll wait for your good wine. Wang Jinsong watched Nie Wei get into the car and quickly drove away from his field of vision.

For his student, Wang Jinsong is really proud from the bottom of his heart.

And the news that Nie Wei was going to set up this fund didn't know how to leak the news, and soon Huaxi and Mingzhu Film Academy also got the news, and the two schools couldn't sit still after they knew about it.
