The opening ceremony of the Asian Film Academy was held in the standard screening hall of Building D of Nortel, and the red carpet link of "starting from here" was specially arranged on the spot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nortel students knew that there were many big names present today, waiting on both sides of the red carpet early, and some even prepared pen and paper early, ready for idols to sign autographs for themselves in the interval between walking the red carpet. As far as the eye can see, both sides of the red carpet seem to be full of dumplings, which looks crowded.

In a standard screening room, the stage backdrop is set up as a giant clapperboard, with jibs, slides, Steadicam, and recording cameras everywhere...... It's hard to imagine that this is the opening ceremony of the university, more like the set of a movie.

In fact, this is the opening ceremony and the set of the micro-film "The First Film", and the 12 students of the Asian Film Academy are the filmmakers of this micro-film, and the guests present are all actors of the film.

Among the 12 students, director Wu Ershan has the most experience, not only has he won many awards for commercials, but also won the International Film Critics Award at the Busan International Film Festival in 04 when he wrote and directed "Soap Opera", so Wu Ershan was appointed as the director, and others gave him a hand.

It's just that the whole team has 4 mainland, 4 Korean, 2 Xiangjiang, 1 Taiwanese, 1 Japanese, the language and culture are different, and they can only communicate in English, and most of them are not very good at English, especially the Japanese and Korean English accents are particularly serious, and it is difficult to communicate;

Zhang Ran pushed Neil's arm with his elbow: "How is it, when you see them, do you remember when you first entered college?"

Neil laughed, "We're not as messy as they are. Each of them wants to be a director, it's a complete mess!"

"Yes, everyone wants to be a director, only directors in their eyes, such people often can't become good directors!" Zhang Ran nodded slightly, then clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Stop, stop, don't shoot yet, I don't know how you coordinated after handing over the task to you, as far as your performance is concerned, two words amateur! I find it hard to believe that you graduated from a film major before, or have worked in the film industry." Now I ask the question, what is our major called?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Film and television production!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Yes, our major is called film and television production, not director." In fact, many foreign film and television schools do not have a special directing department, and they are all film and television production. Because directors have particularly high requirements for comprehensive ability, if the ability in other aspects is insufficient, it is difficult to simply want to be a director. "Zhang Ran's major is also film and television production, but many people don't understand the film and television production major, so they have always said the directing department. He looked at Neil and said, "Neil, tell them how you got to class in the first place!"

Neil put away his smile and said solemnly, "I went to school with 24 students, and I had to make 24 short films in my first year. Our requirement is that everyone is for me, I am for everyone, that is, I make films, the other 23 people serve me, and at the same time, I serve other people. Each of us is a director and a producer for someone else, a cinematographer for another person, and an artist for a fourth. In this way, after a year, we can do everything, I do a good job of carpentry, and my electrician skills are also good, but whoever shouts, I can immediately drive the cable factory over and connect the wires! But that's for novices who haven't studied film, you have all studied, or worked in film, so the requirements for you are higher, you are 12 short films a month. If you cooperate now, it will definitely not be done!"

The students present were dumbfounded, they knew that they would have to finish a short film every month, but they didn't expect it to be like this. They thought they could go to Nortel to pull people from other departments, but they didn't expect that they had to do it all themselves.

Zhang Ran showed a mocking smile: "Some people may think, I want to be a director, why do I have to master the skills of photography and art, and let others do it? Tell you, if you can't master these things, don't dream of being a director! When you walk out of school, you are a rookie director, and the first film is the most difficult, the money is often scraped together, and the level of the staff is also very low, how do you rely on to ensure the quality of the film? You must know everything. Only in this way, when we become directors, will we know how to work together as a team, and we will have foresight, and we can see at a glance what the situation is everywhere we go, and no one can lie to you. On this basis, you can effectively express your own things. When you encounter difficulties, you know how to solve them. Everyone wants to be a general, but before you can be a general, you have to be a good soldier!"

Zhang Ran glanced at his watch: "You're about to start walking the red carpet, you only shot three shots, according to your original shooting plan, it can't be completed at all, what should you do now? When you become a director in the future, you will often encounter this kind of problem, hurry up and find a way!"

At this moment, there were earth-shattering screams and cheers outside, and it was clear that the red carpet ceremony had begun and a star was coming. Nortel students see celebrities much more often than ordinary people, and to be able to make them so excited, it should be a big star.

Wu Ershan knew that things were in trouble, and he couldn't shoot according to the original plan. Should you give up the shots that weren't taken, or what should you do? He glanced at Zhang Ran as if asking for help, but all he got was a sneer. Wu Ershan knew that Zhang Ran couldn't count on it, so he could only rely on his own decision at this time. He took a breath and shouted, "Yin Chengxian, immediately put Steadicam on your back and follow me to the door!"

Everyone didn't care about arguing with Wu Ershan, and if they continued to fight, they couldn't finish the shooting, so they helped Yin Chengxian put on a vest-type Steadicam, installed the camera, and then ran to the door with him.

Yin Chengxian ran to the door of the building and aimed the picture at the red carpet, only then did he notice that the people who came turned out to be Zhang Ziyi and Keanu Reeves, no wonder it caused such a big cheer, these two are international superstars!

The appearance of Zhang Ziyi and Keanu Reeves made the reporters around them excited, but they didn't expect the two big stars to appear so early. The reporters thought they should be the biggest stars of the day, but they were about to find out that they were wrong, and the whole red carpet was far more star-studded than they could have imagined.

In the last life, the Qingdao Film and Television Industrial Park invested by Wanda will hold a launching ceremony, and Hollywood superstars such as Leonardo, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Kate Beckinsale will appear on the stage, blinding countless people's eyes. This time, at the opening ceremony of the Asian Film Academy, Zhang Ran did not invite many Hollywood stars to appear, but the people he invited were not inferior to those stars.

"Wow, Luc Besson is here!"

"It's Ang Lee, he can't be a teacher at the Asian Film Academy too, right?"

"Who's that? Oh my God! It's Martin Scorsese!"

"How is it possible? Director Zhang Yimou is here with Spielberg!"

With the appearance of heavyweights one by one, the atmosphere of the scene was completely detonated. Whether it was Nortel's students or the reporters who came to interview, they were all excited, they never dreamed that these people would appear.

There are also many domestic stars present today, Zhang Jingchu, Li Binbin, Huang Shengyi, etc., if they were the focus of the red carpet in the past, every name would make people's hearts tremble. But today they have all become little fans, and there are only respectful autographs.

Of course, the big domestic film and television companies are not absent, except for Huayi, basically all the others who can come, such as China Film Han Shanping, Guangguang Media Wang Changtian, Bona's Yu Dong, etc., all came to cheer. Because in addition to the big directors who came today, there are also some foreign film and television companies, such as the boss of Lionsgate, which is a rare opportunity for domestic film and television companies such as Bona to expand their contacts.

Some reporters couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Ran's face is really big enough, the bigwigs in the mainland film and television industry are basically here, and there are foreign bigwigs like Luc Besson and Spielberg, which are really good!"

This sentence immediately resonated with reporters: "Yes, although there are not many celebrities coming, there are more people than celebrities." Zhang Ran is really powerful, and only he has the ability to invite these people!"

"I don't think it's all Zhang Ran's power, the key is the rapid rise of our national film market, and foreigners covet our market, otherwise let the film academy try Zimbabwe, see if these people will go!"

"This also makes sense, but if it weren't for Zhang Ran, others would definitely not have such a big face, you let Wang Zhonglei try, please don't move!"

"Don't talk, someone is coming again!"

Hearing this, the reporters turned their heads to look at the entrance of the red carpet as if they had been trained.

At this time, it was a couple who walked on the red carpet, the man was an old man, and he was already sixty or seventy years old, and he was old, and the woman next to him was a Chinese, in her forties, wearing a low-cut gold sequined evening dress, the whole person looked tall and sexy, and the big waves that were specially scalded made her heroic face a little more feminine.

"This is Wendi Deng?"

"Murdoch and Wendi Deng, how is it possible?"

"I'm not mistaken, how could they come?"

The reporters and reporters present were stunned, Murdoch and Wendi Deng don't like to show off everywhere on weekdays, and they don't appear much in the media, so they didn't expect them to appear here, which is really unexpected.

The arrival of Murdoch and Wendi Deng drew an end to the red carpet show, but the media reporters were a little distressed in addition to the excitement, there are too many big names here today, how to write is really a happy trouble!

In fact, there were many officials who attended the opening ceremony, Cai Fuchao, deputy mayor of Beiping City, Tong Gang, director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and heads of the Ministry of Education, Beiping Municipal Education Commission, Culture and Broadcasting Bureau, and Nortel Daguan functional departments, etc., all appeared at the opening ceremony, but in order to keep a low profile, they did not walk the red carpet.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony officially began. The opening ceremony was presided over by Xie Xiaojing, vice president of Nortel, and in his opening speech, Xie Xiaojing expressed his gratitude to the leaders and guests who came from afar on behalf of Nortel. Immediately, the short film "Movie Dream" was played on the big screen, which caused a ripple in the hearts of the students. Immediately afterwards, many well-known personalities at home and abroad also sent their opening wishes to the Asian Cinema Academy through video.

Next, Nortel President Zhang Huijun, South Korea's Chung-Ang University President Kim Chang-so, and Nihon University President Kimiyuki Takanashi were invited to the stage and delivered joint speeches.

Together, the three presidents outlined a new blueprint for talent development for the Asian Film Academy: "With the development of a deep immersion model, students are like living in the production workshop or factory of a film company. The school not only creates a film and television working atmosphere in North America, but also completely adopts the international leading teaching mode and methods to accelerate the internationalization of students and the speed of connecting with the world. The birth of the academy was a new era for Chinese cinema and even for Asian cinema. ”

At the end of the speech, the three principals stepped down to applause. Xie Xiaojing looked at Zhang Ran, who was sitting in the first row, talking to Zhang Jingchu, and said with a smile: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Ran, President of the Asian Film Academy, to give a speech. ”
