"That's good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Hello Qianshao, the primary audition for "Super Girl" is about to begin, can you tell us why you want to join forces with the TV station to organize such a variety show? It is said that you will write songs for the top ten contestants in the finals, is it true?"
"Yes. ”
"Qianshao, there are media reports that "Super Girl" has not yet started, but in fact, the top few places in the competition have already been decided, you are holding this show mainly to make your company's newcomers popular, what is your response to this?"
"You tell me who it is, which media, I'll sue him!"

…………
On April 19, on the outskirts of Guangzhou Province, on the banks of the Pearl River.
The Yangcheng International Film Festival is being held here, and today is the premiere of "On the Road".
has Li Qian's face, and Jin Han's face, there are many guests who come, but Li Qian's previous contact with the film industry is limited, and Jin Han's own coffee position is not high enough, so the guests who come are not particularly high-end, and they can't control the scene at all.
After dealing with the reporters for more than ten minutes, Li Qiancai bluntly drew the reporters' attention back to the movie "On the Road" itself.
Helplessly, Jin Han is really not a big director, and the topic is limited, the movie "On the Road", looking at the early publicity, everyone knows that it is about two high school juniors who fall in love and explore life, so they are skillfully classified as a small and fresh literary film by these well-informed reporters.
After Li Qian answered a few questions, he resolutely refused to speak, but just tried to lead the topic to the director and actors, which made these reporters feel bored. So everyone asked a few extremely simple questions, even if they explained their business, they took the red envelopes after watching the movie later, and the routine was completed.
If nothing else, for the sake of the red envelope, this film will likely occupy a little as much of a tofu block in today's evening newspaper and tomorrow's newspaper.
Fortunately, the hero and heroine are beautiful enough to put together a picture.
And occupying an important page, it is the sect leader Li Qian who appeared at the Yangcheng Film Festival!
Key point 1: The leader and the actress named "On the Road" have whispered a few times, and they seem to be quite familiar!
Point 2: That actress is really beautiful, and the two seem to have eye contact, they should really be quite familiar - you can ask the colleagues who stayed in Shuntianfu to interview Liao Liao and Zhou Yan respectively!
…………
"Oh, Kamuang, Qian, you're still so handsome, and I'm even fatter!" the big fat man, John Dyce, hugged Li Qian and gave him a bear hug.
This guy is a senior producer of Twentieth Century Fox Productions, and he is the second producer to sign "Titanic", and he has dealt with each other a lot, so they are naturally familiar with each other. This time he was invited to participate in the Yangcheng Film Festival, and "On the Road" was going to premiere, so Li Qian invited him over.
Of course, don't look at him, he also won the Oscar on stage, but for the domestic media, he is not as newsworthy as the big star behind him.
"Qian, this is our friend, Margaery Tyrrell, the heroine of my new film 'Margaery the Witch'!"
"Hello, Miss Tyrrell, I've seen your 100 Days of First Love, and I love it!"
"Please call me Margaery, thank you, your lover Liao, is one of my favorite singers right now! Oh, by the way, I've also heard the previous Chinese albums you made for her, it's great!"
"Thank you! I didn't expect you to like to listen to Chinese songs!"
"Oh, don't underestimate me, I'm a music lover! I also have two of your rock albums......!"
Although the words are unusually awkward, this singing at least proves that she has really heard it.
When Li Qian smiled and shook his head to express his emotion and gratitude, John Days's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Maybe we can invite Qian to write an interlude for our "Witch Margaery", and you will sing it by Margaery, how about it?"
Margaery Tyrell went up the slope and said, "Oh, that's a great idea, but I think we should invite Liao to sing, that would add a million to the box office!"
After a conversation, Li Qian couldn't stand the attack between the two, so he had to agree to write an episode for the movie "Margaery the Witch".
But after talking, John Days's eyes lit up and he proposed: "Qian, I know that you are not only a great musician, but also a good director and a good actor, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I hope you can come to the film I produced to play a cameo role, how about it?"
Li Qian shook his head with a smile, "Please don't insult the word 'good actor'!
This Chinese joke made John Days react for a moment, half a second later than Margaery Tyrell before laughing.
It was a casual invitation, but the other party obviously didn't take it seriously, and after a few jokes, the movie was about to start, and the two of them went to sit together, ready to enjoy another Chinese movie.
…………
Jin Han was a little unusually excited.
The guest invited was one, Margaery Tyrrell, an American star who has begun to rise in Hollywood in recent years, unexpectedly came to cheer on, and also, most importantly, the tickets were sold out!
Yes, except for some free tickets, most of the seats are still sold to the public.
Yangcheng International Film Festival was founded in 1992, is the first international A-level film festival in China, although it was not established for a long time, the influence, coffee position, are not comparable with the three major European film festivals, but in recent years, with the domestic market is getting bigger and bigger, Yangcheng Film Festival has attracted more and more international attention, to now, not only the domestic media Yangcheng Film Festival and Japan Tokyo Film Festival, South Korea Busan Film Festival and called the three major Asian film festivals, even the European and American media, also think so.
And the most important thing about the film festival is to build a platform for industry peers to communicate with each other, so that the audience can feast their eyes - every broadcast, of course, has to sell tickets!
When the movie officially opened, Jin Han took the initiative to come over and whispered to Li Qian: "It's full!" Between the words, the excitement was overflowing.
Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "Good sign!"
A good sign indeed.
Jin Han has already made two movies before, and every time he will apply for the Yangcheng Film Festival, but it was not until this third film that he was finally selected for the main competition unit for the first time, Li Qian threw another million to him, not only rented the largest screening hall next to the Film Palace, the host of the film festival, but also put a certain amount of media and outdoor advertising to make a big splash for his film.
But in Li Qian's heart, he was still not optimistic.
…………
In the evening, Shangri-La Hotel.
Li Qian took Wang Jinglu and quietly came to visit the head of his own sect, Kong Guozhang, the director of the Shuntian Film Academy.
Dean Kong, as a figure like Taishan Beidou in the current domestic film academic circles, has either served as the rotating chairman of the Yangcheng Film Festival or has been an invited guest over the years, and this year is no exception.
In the suite arranged by the organizer for Dean Kong, everyone sat down, and his daughter, who came with Dean Kong, made tea for a few people, and everyone sat down to talk.
Dean Kong opened his mouth and said, "Your premiere in the morning was very lively!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wang Jinglu, "Your name is Xiaolu, right? Xiaoqian's genuine girlfriend? Haha, I watched the declared film, I watched it last month, your performance is still very good, natural, not pretentious, acting very well, Xiaoqian is a blessed person!"
Wang Jinglu smiled shyly, "Mr. Kong, you have won the award, I have just started to learn acting, and I don't understand it very well." ”
Kong Guozhang waved his hand, "You can't deceive me with this statement! Don't look at me as a teacher, but performing this thing, four points of genius and three points of enlightenment, two points of chance, and the last point is learning!"
Li Qian and Dean Kong have some friendship, and they also know that this old man has an open-minded personality and is wise, and there is an indescribable feeling of master-apprentice between himself and him, even far more than Lu Lingxi, who taught him for two semesters before and after, and later served as the head of the department.
So at this time, Li Qian smiled, turned his head to Wang Jinglu and said, "What Dean Kong said is a 100-point system, and the remaining 90 points mainly look at the face!"
Kong Guozhang laughed.
Wang Jinglu couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand and gently pushed Li Qian, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Kong Guozhang smiled and asked, "How many days have you been here? How many movies have you watched?
Li Qian confessed, "I just came here yesterday, and I went out to watch a film this afternoon, which is the Iranian film, called "The Mountain of Red Stones". ”
Kong Guozhang smiled and nodded, "That film is very good, in recent years, Iran has produced two good directors, who are very good at telling stories and telling new ideas." ”
After a pause, he smiled and said: "You're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, this film festival, there are a lot of good movies, I'll give you a homework, you have to watch more everywhere, watch a few more films, this is beneficial!"
Speaking of this, he seemed to be addicted to smoking, took out a big pipe from his pocket and began to fill it, and said while pretending: "It's good that you make a TV series." Your talent is also seen by everyone. But TV series and movies are not the same thing. In school, the teachers teach you a lot of things, film festivals, and other things that can teach you that are not taught in school. You have to experience it well and make some good works in the future. ”
The old man said so, how could Li Qian answer, he could only nod yes.
Dean Kong filled the cigarette, took out the lighter and lit it, and smoked a cigarette, and his daughter shook her head helplessly when she saw this, so she had to open the window.
The cool breeze enters the room, with the fishy sweetness of the Pearl River water.
The old man puffed a few puffs, and seemed to suddenly feel some emotion, and he didn't pay attention to his daughter's apology to Wang Jinglu, but just said: "TV series are just stories, but movies can talk about life and even human nature." "Mountain of Red Stones" is very well filmed, better than many famous directors in China, but that director is just 31 years old! Everyone in the jury is very optimistic about this film!"
Li Qian nodded, "Yes." ”
Film festivals have always been a place for newcomers to get ahead. Film festivals, regardless of whether they are the three major film festivals in Europe or the three major film festivals in Asia, are all a paradise for lovers of literary and artistic films.
In front of Mr. Kong, Li Qian is certainly not stupid enough to talk about "The Mountain of Red Stones", which is destined to be the great love of the diehard party of niche literary films, but it will make the vast majority of moviegoers drowsy - just look at the attendance rate at the film festival!
In fact, even if you put aside the barriers to watching movies with different national conditions, different people's feelings, and different languages and cultures, "The Mountain of Red Stones" is even inferior to "On the Road" in terms of popularity.
Although the story of "On the Road" is simple, as long as you look into it, the story is still very good. Of course, after watching the movie, what kind of interpretation the viewer will give, and interpret the so-called connotation of this or that, that is another matter.
But a movie must first attract people to sell tickets to see it, right?
