Chapter 365: The Public Enemy of the Director's Profession
When Wang Cong returned to the studio, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xia Zihong's number. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, Brother Xia, when is the premiere ceremony?" asked Wang Cong with a smile.
Xia Zihong laughed: "The time is this Sunday, you can come over then, and Li Lingwei will also come over." ā
Wang Cong was a little surprised: "Is Ling Wei going too? Didn't you say you wouldn't go before?"
Xia Zihong said heartily: "This has just been determined, and it just so happens that the two of you can appear together." ā
Wang Cong was overjoyed: "Haha, that's really good, I will definitely be there on time." ā
Wang Cong thought of what happened on Xia Zihong's text message and asked: "By the way, Brother Xia, you said that the Panda Award at the end of this month, can we be shortlisted for "Dark War"?"
Xia Zihong smiled heartily: "Those important awards are a little difficult, the main competitor is Ning Qiushan's "True Colors of Heroes" crew, but it should be no problem for you, I don't think I can run the Best Screenwriter Award, I have seen all the entries this time, Lao Ning and I are considered to catch the last train, but I still have confidence in "Dark War". ā
Wang Cong really wanted to shout a few times after hearing this, but he didn't seem to be too out of shape in front of Xia Zihong, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Haha, is Director Ning's "True Colors of Heroes" also released together?"
Xia Zihong said: "He lost a bet to me, and the theater will not arrive until three days late, and I think he will also inform you to go to the premiere tonight." ā
After asking about the matter clearly, Wang Cong hung up Xia Zihong's phone, humming a little song and still looking for Ye Hang and Qiu Shi to have dinner together.
After dinner, as expected, Xia Zihong said, Ning Qiushan called and officially invited him to participate in the premiere of "The True Color of Heroes", and the time was set for next Wednesday.
And Ning Qiushan also revealed a news to him, that is, "The True Color of Heroes" and "Dark War" will be shortlisted for the Best Screenwriter Award, you must know that there are only four finalists, Wang Cong accounts for half, and the chance of winning the award is still quite large.
Thinking of this, Wang Cong was very refreshed, and after the meal, he opened a bottle of cold beer, and it happened that the assistant director Li Yang walked in and told Wang Cong about today's filming progress.
Next!
Director Wang Cong once again made headlines in major media, and for a time Wang Cong became the focus of the entertainment industry.
"When young directors hold a meeting, Wang Cong can also win the Writer and Screenwriter Award if he writes a script!"
"Wang Cong has been exposed to no one in the director world, and he doesn't respect his predecessors!"
"If Wang Cong has a script that can win the Best Screenplay Award, I will eat the magazine ----Interview with Zheng Bo"
"Wang Cong or become a meritorious rival in the director's circle?"
.......
When Wang Cong followed the crew to the set, there was a trace of strange eyes around, and Wang Cong also knew that it was all reported by those media reporters, and Zheng Bo and Shi Hao deliberately exaggerated the events of yesterday's meeting.
Wang Cong naturally didn't explain anything to them, so he called the assistant director Li Yang and discussed the shooting in the next moment.
The shooting in the morning went very smoothly, and Wang Cong was also very happy, according to this schedule, the film will be finished by the end of the month, and the rest is post-production such as editing.
During the lunch break, Wang Cong received a call from Li Lingwei.
"Director Wang, I heard that you are in the headlines again? I really admire you now, it seems that your popularity is stronger than mine. Li Lingwei's laughing voice came.
Wang Cong said happily: "Yes, how can I be worthy of my diva wife if I am not popular." ā
Li Lingwei said with a little meaning: "I'm not your wife's now, don't scream." ā
Wang Cong was stunned for a moment, remembering that it had been a long time since he had come up with Li Lingwei, and Li Lingwei had also seen his parents, but he had never been to Li Lingwei's house once, and he was a little reluctant to say when he thought of this: "Ling Wei, why don't you wait until the end of the movie shooting on my side and visit your house?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Lingwei heard what Wang Cong said, and she didn't react for a while, followed by her eyes a little moist, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: "Has this little bastard finally figured it out?"
wiped his moist eyes with his hand, and said to Wang Cong: "You are what you said, you will not regret it when the time comes." ā
Li Lingwei's thoughts Wang Cong also understands a little, she is older than Wang Cong, and he thinks he is still relatively good, Li Lingwei is afraid that Wang Cong will not be able to stand other temptations in the future, and his psychology is always rootless.
Wang Cong also said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will not marry you in this life, and I will never regret it." ā
Hearing Wang Cong's touching love words, Li Lingwei's tears couldn't hold back anymore, flowed out, and hurriedly said a word to Wang Cong and hung up the phone.
Wang Cong looked at Li Lingwei, who suddenly hung up the phone, and was a little speechless, but just as the rest time was almost over, he continued to prepare for the afternoon shooting.
In the afternoon, there was still a situation on the set, not because of the crew's problem, but because those reporters didn't know how to break through the blockade arranged by Wang Cong, and they all came in.
"Director Wang Cong, can you tell me about the script this time?"
"Director Wang Cong, I heard that you once said that the script can win awards, is it true?"
"Director Wang Cong, can you tell me about the director's meeting?"
"Director Wang Cong ........."
It is not the first time that Wang Cong has been surrounded by reporters, and it is not the first time he has faced these long guns and short guns, but he is still a little uncomfortable, he is a little dizzy by the flashing lights, and he is also a little confused by those reporters.
Finally, under Li Yang's treatment, Wang Cong held a brief press conference, and Wang Cong also answered the reporters' questions very bluntly.
"For those who have not read my script and make judgments, I really feel very incredible, you don't know what I write, just say that directors can't write scripts, you have to be down-to-earth, etc., I want to say that they can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it. ā
"I just entered the director's profession, and what I heard the most was not encouragement, but that you should listen more to the experience of your predecessors and take fewer detours, I want to say that the experience of your predecessors is important but not a holy decree, if you want to innovate, if you want to break through, you have to have the courage to try......."
Wang Cong's words made those reporters very excited, feeling that this incident should continue to be reported, Wang Cong was also disgusted by "young directors" like Zheng Bo and Shi Hao, since they want to fight, then the battle will be revealed to the world, and when the time comes, let the facts speak, which is more interesting than fighting.
In addition, Wang Cong also considered some other aspects, one is that he is well received by the audience, but more people know that he is making movies, and also in order to break through Li Lingwei's grandfather's defense line next time and shoot the next movie to accumulate some popularity.
The press conference was short and short, but the content was very rich, because Wang Cong said a lot of "material" speeches, so the reporters left satisfied under the persuasion of the staff.
