Chapter 64: Commencement Speech

The bigwig behind the CCTV movie channel is radio and television, and this time he took the lead in inviting Spielberg to the program, so he naturally will not be unprepared. This program, called "World Cinema Journey", will also invite Zhang Yimou as a guest to start a dialogue between film directors. The leadership of the great joy obviously wanted to organize it into a Sino-American film exchange, and they wished that Spielberg's entire trip in China would be arranged by them.

And in the whole process, Chen Tiandu was just a partner, and people mentioned him in passing.

Chen Tiandu didn't have any expectations for this, he just wanted to start shooting as much as possible, and don't bother him with anything else. But he will still make movies in China in the future, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship with them.

It's not the first time Spielberg has been a producer, and as one of the world's most famous directors, it's obviously not the first time he's participated in a film exchange in another country. I was not surprised to hear Chen Tiandu's relay. "Christmas, our China itinerary is very tight, are you sure I need to attend your country's announcement? I don't mean anything else, just want to know what you think. ”

Chen Tiandu said seriously: "I hope the director can participate, the box office of Chinese movies is not high compared to the world, but the director you have many fans in China, and every movie released has achieved a great sensation." Whether it's cultivating your movie fans in China or thinking about our films, it doesn't hurt to be on the show. Our country's national conditions are somewhat special, and we can only import a specified number of overseas films every year, and this year's quota has been used up. I hope that the director can take this opportunity to discuss the introduction of two films next year, "The Sixth Sense" and "The Matrix". As for filmmaking, it's enough to have me. ”

Spielberg agreed, and Chen Tiandu conveyed the news to CCTV and the Film Association. They were very happy, and by the way, they also gave Chen Tiandu a credit, and immediately started the contact work. Zhang Yimou was working on the film "My Father and Mother" at this time, and was recalled to Yanjing by Radio and Television to participate in the program discussion.

The big director enthusiastically cooperated, and "The Matrix" applied for the Great Wall as a filming location, and it was quickly implemented. The relevant departments even took the initiative to send staff to cooperate, and the enthusiasm was so enthusiastic that it was difficult for many Americans to resist. With Spielberg's personal persuasion, "The Sixth Sense", which was not originally intended to be introduced, seems to have taken a turn for the better.

Because several leaders heard that "The Sixth Sense", which had been screened several times in a row in Chinese opera, they all won unanimous praise from students and teachers: "It is worthy of being a movie with a global box office of more than 600 million, and an unexpected film story structure." The atmosphere of terror is not strong, on the contrary, it is full of social relations and humanistic care. Chen Tiandu's performance in it is also fascinating, and his deep eyes have fascinated many young girls......"

Yuan Quan, a few girls in their class, went to watch every show, and they have watched several times. Because there are two of the most beautiful girls in their class who have cooperated with Chen Tian in commercials, they are already very familiar with Chen Tian, and now they are even more adored when they see this movie.

There are several classes that have even started to pull tabs for analysis.

I don't know, but once the teacher pulls the film and analyzes it, I know why this movie is so sensational in the United States. The stories are suspenseful one after another, and the plot structure is fine and ingenious, especially the final ending that makes people get goosebumps, which is even more classic.

Because of the strong response of the Chinese opera students, Beiying and Chinese opera also came to the friendly signal and asked if there were any belts that could be rented. Chen Tiandu brought back a lot of them, so he donated a few volumes, along with expensive cameras and projectors. Of course, they were also tactfully warned not to leak the strap to the outside world. Although the box office in Chinese mainland is already dispensable for this movie, who would be afraid of less money, after all, his film still has the expectation of being released in China.

As a result, "The Sixth Sense" became popular in several major film and television universities, forming a small movie-watching craze. Even Chen Tiandu is also popular and has become the idol of many people.

In this case, the Chinese opera is even more looking forward to Chen Tiandu returning to school to give a graduation speech.

After the reform and opening up, many domestic film studios in China have suffered a lot of impact. Especially in the past five years, domestic films have been almost none.

In the long run, even domestic audiences mentioned domestic movies with a look of contempt, "Don't be kidding, are domestic movies watched by people?" "It has to be said to be a great sadness.

Because of the system, most of China's provinces have their own state-owned film studios, but now in China, except for Changchun, Beiying, Shangying, Xiying, Bayi, and Emei, the six state-owned studios can barely achieve profits, and other provinces are supported by state funds not to go bankrupt.

In this era, there are not many films that can win international awards in China. China has enough themes to make films that win international awards, but in addition to winning awards, they barely make half a dime. Many movies won awards just to gain popularity, and failed to generate any economic value.

But at a time when the national box office is less than one billion (referring to domestic production), Chen Tiandu's example is vividly there, the first film shot by a Chinese student has earned $660 million at the global box office, which is undoubtedly a wild talk in the eyes of domestic filmmakers. But it was really born, and it also greatly encouraged the students' movie dreams and financial dreams.

Several colleges and universities believe that this young man may have learned real skills from Spielberg, and learned all the methods of making movies that can make money in Hollywood.

If domestic filmmakers can get his guidance and learn some of Hollywood's advanced market experience, there will be a few more Chen Tiandu in the future.

Chen Tiandu, accompanied by Kong Yiji, Huang Bo and others, attended the graduation ceremony held by the school. Now that I am back in school, it is no longer a matter of time. He put on his graduation top hat, and he really felt a sense of accomplishment.

On the same day, Kate also accompanied him to his graduation ceremony. In the second half of the ceremony, Spielberg made a surprise appearance and applauded his graduation ceremony from the audience. And beside him suddenly was Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou has been accompanying Spielberg for several days recently, and the two probably have developed some kind of friendship between filmmakers.

Not only did relatives and friends attend Chen Tiandu's graduation ceremony, but also caused a lot of media reporters. Even reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan and Hollywood have them. Looking at the camera with the conspicuous nBc brand, many people are a little stunned. That golden white girl reporter seems to be a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, obedient.

Xu is reporter came a little too much, the principal Xu Xiang was full of red, and he spoke in an official tone on the podium of the huge auditorium, "Recently, everyone knows that our school has produced a big director, he made a movie in the United States and won the global box office of 660 million US dollars, and it is a big hit for next year's Oscars, not only winning the market but also winning word of mouth." And today, this student is about to graduate, and I am honored to give him a diploma. This is the embodiment of the achievements of our China Theatre Academy under the education policy of ten years of trees and one hundred years of people......" and said a few more words, and under the eyes of the students full of contempt, Chen Tiandu was finally called to the stage and personally awarded him a graduation certificate.

In a burst of applause, Chen Tiandu held up the certificate.

Just as he was about to speak, the principal took the microphone and shouted loudly, "Next, I would like to invite Chen Tiandu to introduce and explain to us the experience he learned in Hollywood, the United States, under the call of Comrade Xiaoping's 'boldly going out' and 'learning from the experience of the advanced Western market', let us welcome Chen Tiandu to give us a graduation speech with warm applause!" ”

Finally about to start speaking, under the more enthusiastic applause, Chen Tiandu quickly adjusted his mood, and did not have stage fright under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes. Glancing at the students below, there are not many familiar faces, and his classmates in the same class have already graduated and left the school, and only a few stay in school to continue their studies.

And the most familiar is Zhang Ziyi and Yuan Quan's group of students who have drunk together. Retracting his gaze and smiling faintly, he came to the microphone and was about to start his graduation speech.
