Recommended reading: Just a few days after Zhao Xing had just finished sending a meager hair, with Feng Xiaogang's silence, this heat gradually dissipated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Zhao Xing, who had rested for a few days, suddenly received a call from Zhang Yimou.
Looking at the caller ID, Zhao Xing's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he connected the phone with a puzzled expression.
"Hello? Director Zhang? ”
"You kid is really extraordinary, you can surprise people every time, the first billion-dollar director in China, tsk, what a hero out of a teenager."
Zhang Yimou on the other end of the phone sighed for a while, he has made movies for more than 20 years, and he can be said to have won numerous awards, but in terms of box office, he really doesn't dare to compliment, and the movie with the highest box office can only reach 500 million.
And Zhao Xing, who is only in his twenties, has reached the height that many people want to look up to in his fourth movie alone.
The box office of a single movie exceeded one billion, which is an achievement that countless directors have dreamed of day and night, but it was achieved by a young director in his twenties like Zhao Xing.
At this moment, even Zhang Yimou, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but have a feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach.
Zhao Xing didn't know what Zhang Yimou was thinking, listening to Zhang Yimou's joke on the other end of the phone, he hurriedly said modestly: "Don't make fun of me, I'm just a fluke with this achievement, I still have a long way to go." ”
Listening to Zhao Xing's modest words, Zhang Yimou's heart swelled with relief, after all, Zhao Xing is a young director he values very much, and he is regarded as the successor of the film industry, he doesn't want Zhao Xing to be prematurely proud and complacent and become a person like "hurt Zhongyong".
At the moment, Zhang Yimou was relieved: "If you think so, I'm relieved, remember what you said, you still have a long way to go, the Chinese film market, it's not big, it's not small, but compared with the world, this market is pitiful." ”
"I hope you can continue to work hard, one day stand on the world stage, stand on the stage of the Oscars, not only to become the first in China, but also to become the first in the world, and fight for our Chinese directors.
Listening to Zhang Yimou's words, Zhao Xing was a little flattered in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhang Yimou's expectations for himself would be so high.
After being flattered, Zhao Xing felt a deep pressure, what Zhang Yimou expected was not what Zhao Xing himself expected?
But then again, with the help of the system, Zhao Xing is very confident that one day in the future, he will really be able to stand on the world stage, stand on the stage of the Oscar, which represents the highest award for films, and represent countless Chinese directors, shouting to countless worlds: "I am the king of the world".
He believes that this time will not be too long.
At that moment, Zhao Xing said with a serious face: "Thank you, Director Zhang, I will, I will work hard in this direction." ”
Listening to Zhao Xing's serious words, Zhang Yimou smiled with satisfaction, and changed the topic: "Look at me, people are old, and they love to nag, I called you today because I have something to ask you, I don't know if you are interested in joining the Huaxia Directors Association?" ”
"Huaxia Directors Guild?"
Zhao Xing was directly confused by Zhang Yimou's "Huaxia Directors Association", he knew that Huaxia had a screenwriters association and a film association, but Zhao Xing had really never heard of this "directors association".
Regarding Zhao Xing's doubts, Zhang Yimou reacted instantly, it seems that Zhao Xing really didn't know about the "Huaxia Directors Association", so he organized the language a little and introduced it to Zhao Xing.
Listening to Zhang Yimou's introduction, Zhao Xing finally understood what the hell this "Huaxia Directors Association" was.
Speaking of which, it's not that Zhao Xing is lonely and unheard, but that this "Huaxia Film Association" is really a bit mysterious and not well-known, even if it is an ordinary director, eighty percent are very unfamiliar with this "Huaxia Film Association".
This is because the "Huaxia Film Association" is full of calculations, and there are only ten people in the development so far, but these ten or so people are not simple, and they can be said to be the top ten people in the entire Chinese film industry.
And their admission criteria are also very strict, not only requiring box office results, but also requiring members to have various honors.
Zhang Yimou's invitation to Zhao Xing can be regarded as an exception.
There is no other reason, the first and only director with a box office of more than one billion is enough for them to relax a little conditions.
Listening to Zhang Yimou's introduction, Zhao Xing's heart couldn't help but "thump", because from the meaning of Zhang Yimou's words, he already knew that every person in this "Huaxia Directors Association" was a character who stomped his feet and trembled in the entertainment industry.
Of course, what makes Zhao Xing even more excited is that if he can be invited by them to join, then he has completely recognized himself.
Now he has stood at the same height as those people.
This alone was enough to make Zhao Xing unable to sleep with excitement.
What do people live for? It is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, which is also the goal that Zhao Xing has been chasing, and now there is a ready-made opportunity in front of him, of course Zhao Xing will not let it go.
Zhao Xing hurriedly said to Zhang Yimou: "I am willing, of course I am willing." ”
Listening to Zhao Xing's impatient words, Zhang Yimou on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed: "Okay, I knew you would agree, you prepare now, come to Kyoto tomorrow, there will be a surprise at that time......"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yimou hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhao Xing smirked excitedly, he completely ignored the "surprise" that Zhang Yimou said, and now he is full of things about joining the "Huaxia Directors Association".
……
In a nondescript office in the Radio and Television Building in Kyoto, ten middle-aged people who are not outstanding in appearance are sitting around a huge round table with very elaborate materials.
"Bang ......"
Feng Xiaogang slammed the teacup on the table, and said angrily: "I don't agree, I don't agree with that Zhao Xing joining the Directors Association, he is not qualified." ”
"Director Feng, pay attention to your behavior." Zhang Yimou's face was gloomy, staring at Feng Xiaogang and said coldly: "This is not your home, nor is it the place where you drop the cup." ”
Listening to Zhang Yimou's words, Feng Xiaogang's face stiffened, and he was very resentful of Zhang Yimou in his heart, but he couldn't express it, after all, there were so many directors watching, and he took a deep breath and said: "I don't agree with Zhao Xing joining the Film Association, I don't understand why Director Zhang has to let Zhao Xing join?" Which of you is not a veteran director who has been working hard in the film industry for decades, and how many honors have he won for the country at home and abroad to get to where he is today? ”
"And he, Zhao Xing, a hairy boy who hasn't grown all his hair, what qualifications does he have to join our film association?"
As Feng Xiaogang's words fell, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yimou, waiting for Zhang Yimou's answer......
