Section 193: Connections

Conferences are always boring, and this industry summit organized by the directors' union can't escape this curse.

In the next few days, Du An, like the little monk, was on time every day to listen to the people above chanting, and he was chatting with Jia Zhangke below, feeling that he had not gained anything at all, but he didn't really want to gain anything when he came to the meeting, mainly to make friends and expand his contacts, and Du An's still gained a lot at this point.

Lu Chuan, Huang Jianxin, Zhou Xingchi, Li Shaohong, Xu Jinglei...... These are all people he met through the two-day meeting, and they all exchanged contact information with each other.

Among these people, Li Shaohong took over his "Chainsaw" series and threw him aside, although it was mainly a bullshit done by Ruixing Film and Television, but Li Shaohong is also the current director of the "Chainsaw" series, it stands to reason that there should be some estrangement between the two, but Du An is the most chatty with Li Shaohong among these people, rather than a land boat from Sujiang who is also from Sujiang.

And now he is in his place and presses his mobile phone, sending a message to Li Shaohong.

"Sister Hong, what are you going to eat tonight?"

After he sent this message, he looked up at the Nortel professor on the stage, who was standing in front of the curtain and talking endlessly.

The main contents of this industry summit are as follows: discussing and formulating and improving the standard process for the industry problems that have emerged in the director industry in the past year, introducing and discussing the new technologies and practical means that have emerged in the past year, and putting forward opinions and prospects for future industry planning.

Now it's the professor from Nortel who is talking about a new editing technique they have recently developed, the name is very mysterious, what is it called, Taiyi editing Fadouin thinks that the person who came up with this name must be a classical lover with a lot of middle and second breath, and he is embarrassed to hear it.

The professor has been emphasizing that the emergence of this new editing method will have a transformative effect on the director's shooting methods, but in Duane's view, the unreliable editing method with such a fantastical name is just a variant of cross-editing, just adding a few small things. He tried to substitute this method into several films he had filmed, and found that this method was still too strong, a pure product of the real yร n room. It's unrealistic, and only the professors in these colleges think it's amazing.

Looking at the drowsy reactions of the people around him, it was obviously similar to his thoughts.

It's just that film technology has been developed in countless such unreliable technologies to a large extent, so for the emergence of new technologies. Directors have always been with the greatest tolerance, maybe a new reliable technology will appear? Even in the unreliable, you can find the shining point.

This is also the reason why this Nortel professor can go up to give a lecture with such an unreliable technology.

The mobile phone shook, Du An's head was lowered, and when he clicked on it, it was Li Shaohong's message: "Whatever." Don't be as spicy as yesterday. โ€

Jia Zhangke next to him also leaned over and took a look, "What do you say?"

Seeing him like this, Duane obviously couldn't wait to go to dinner.

"Don't be too spicy,"

Du An glanced at him and said, "I heard Lao Xu say that there is a Huaiyang restaurant two streets next to it, which is very delicious, and she often goes there when she comes here to film, why don't you go there to eat?"

Lao Xu here is not Xu Ke. It's Xu Jinglei.

Jia Zhangke nodded, "Okay, I won't pick it, so be it." By the way, which ones are going tonight?"

Du Anban counted with his hands, "You, me, Sister Hong, Lao Xu, Brother Huang." Speaking of this, Duan pushed the person on his right, "Brother Boat, will we go to dinner later?"

To his left is Jia Zhangke. On the right hand side is the land boat, at this moment the land boat also has a mobile phone and keeps sending messages, after hearing his inquiry, he looked up and glanced at it, and shook his head, "Don't go, there's something." โ€

Duane nodded knowingly. "Okay. โ€

The land boat is not bad, but he has a little noodles and a lot of flowers. In the past few days of acquaintance, Duane has heard about him from several people: this guy is now gradually starting to become famous, and there are many people who pounce on him, and his careful thoughts have begun to sprout, and he heard that he is getting a divorce.

Looking at his current appearance, I don't know if Xiao Mi made a special trip to Hengdian.

"That's all there should be. โ€

Duane turned his head to Jia Zhangke again.

Jia Zhangke joked: "Okay, then that's it." Huaiyang dishes are exquisite, a plate is just that, two bites, just right, just eat your big family. โ€

Duane smiled and didn't say anything.

After learning about it in the past few days, he realized how strange he was: a director like him, who has saved hundreds of millions of dollars in two years, has really never seen it. Even if you put aside last year's limit, just talk about net worth, there are only a few directors with a net worth of several hundred million, so I am really a rare nouveau riche among directors, so I took the cost of these two days of activities as a matter of course, and spent money happily.

Finally survived until the end of today's meeting, Duane and the others made an appointment first, and then went back upstairs to rest, to see that the time was not early, so they went to the restaurant in advance, got a private room, and then sent the detailed address to a few other people.

Scattered and scattered, people are gradually coming.

Du An looked around and found that everyone had come: Jia Zhangke, Xu Jinglei, Li Shaohong, Huang Jianxin, and himself.

It can also be seen from the composition of the personnel that the geographical distinction within the director's circle is still relatively strict, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and here are all mainland factions.

Although Duane feels that the two sides of the strait and three places are one family, there is no need to divide each other, but in daily life, he found that the difference between regions is still quite obvious, whether it is food, language or daily affairs, each place has its own style, and it is indeed easier to talk about the same region together.

Huang Jianxin, who arrived last, just put away his clothes, looked around, and asked, "Where is Xiao Lu?"

Jia Zhangke smiled meaningfully, "People have something." โ€

The little of the land ship is known to everyone present, so there is no need to mention it. Huang Jian also shook his head, so he didn't say anything more and sat down, while in this room, Du An and Li Shaohong were discussing the "Chainsaw" series.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ I don't think it's necessary to say that it's a horror movie, you have to shoot it according to the model of a horror movie, what plasma, fright, whatever, these things must be there, but it shouldn't be horror for horror's sake, it should have its own things, such as brain-burning logical reasoning, which is why "Chainsaw" was so attractive in the first place. โ€

Du An's thoughts were told to Li Shaohong.

"Saw 3" is still directed by Li Shaohong, and the preliminary shooting work has been completed, and it will be released in the second half of the year after the completion of the later stage, and if nothing else, "Saw 4" will also be filmed, and Ruixing also said that if nothing else, the director of the fourth part will be Li Shaohong.

Although the reputation of "Saw 2" is not very good, the box office results are visible, Ruixing is quite satisfied with this, and is willing to believe Li Shaohong, but Li Shaohong feels more and more confused the more he shoots, and finally met Duane, hurry up to listen to how the original understands this series of movies and learns from experience.

Duane continued: "Even if it's not so bloody, but the most central thing must be grasped, and the relationship between the front and back must be carried out. If I am asked to shoot it, I am more inclined to continue the story of the first part, dig out more related characters, and go down this line, after all, the first time the audience came into contact with this movie was "Saw 1", and they are more familiar with the characters in it, and to be honest, there are many loopholes in the first part, and I feel that the later series can follow these loopholes and fill them all in little by little. โ€

He paused here and smiled, "It's a bit messy, and I don't know if you can understand it." โ€

Li Shaohong thought thoughtfully, "It seems to be a little understood......"

Du An looked at Li Shaohong, and said: "Actually, what I said is just a construction, how to make this series of movies, or Sister Hong, you can decide for yourself, now this is your movie, not mine." โ€

He said this from the bottom of his heart: he always had a special feeling for "Saw Horror", this was the first film he made, and people always paid special attention to their first time, and Duane was the same. The "Saw Horror" series is like his child, he hopes that this child can grow up well, and what he said at the beginning is his own plan for the child's growth route.

But at the same time, he also saw that the guardian of the child was now changed from him to Li Shaohong.

From his own standpoint, he hopes that Li Shaohong can cultivate this child according to the line he said before, but from the standpoint of a friend, he still hopes that Li Shaohong will not shoot like this, then the director of this movie will be Duan, not Li Shaohong, which is a very sad thing.

The two were chatting here, and there were already people dissatisfied over there.

"Okay, haven't you two heard enough at the meeting?

It was Xu Jinglei who spoke.

If Du An is a rare handsome director in the director's circle, then Xu Jinglei is a rare beautiful director in the director's circle.

This actor-turned-director, after acting for less than two years, "saw something different" and defected to the ranks of directors, and the first two works were extraordinary, showing a good aura, so he was recognized as a talented woman, and the media unanimously called her a talented woman.

In the film and television industry, there are many beauties, but there are very few who are called talented women.

Huang Jianxin opened his mouth at this time, "Hey, we are directors, what are we talking about if we don't talk about business?" After speaking, he smiled at Du An and said, "Xiao Du, I see that you and Shao Hong are chatting so energetically, then I will also talk to you about business." I'm idle now and have nothing to do, you see, your big boss, are you going to introduce me to a job? I've heard that you're going to make a blockbuster movie, if the position of assistant director is still there, you, the big boss, see if I'm suitable? โ€

When Duane heard this, he was really shocked.

What's the situation, after Zhang Yimou, why did Huang Jianxin also take the initiative to ask Ying to come to be his assistant director? For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
