Although Liu Yifei gave her Valentine's Day Jihua was very devastating, she still gave the day, and just like the girl said, since she is ready to make it public, she doesn't have to be so careful about hiding anything.

However, the day before Valentine's Day, Ye Sumang had to leave the villa because the annual gathering of the Directors Guild began again.

On February 13th, the seventh day of the lunar calendar, it is suitable for travel and gatherings, and the directors association gathering also chose this day, which is obviously very appropriate.

Don't think that big directors are not superstitious because of their own identity, on the contrary, nine out of ten directors in this industry are superstitious, and the rest are more or less half-believed.

Ye Sumang also belongs to half-believing and half-unbelieving, anyway, as long as he is filming, those things that should be there will be properly prepared, without it, he just wants to have peace of mind.

Maybe he came a little early, when Ye Sumang came to the hotel lobby of the party, there was not even anyone he knew.

However, Ye Sumang didn't know him, but it didn't prevent the few people present from recognizing Ye Sumang, and suddenly, after they exchanged eyes for a few seconds, several of them immediately walked towards Ye Sumang.

"Hello Director Ye, I am a student of Kyoto Film Academy Level 04, my name is Wu Xue, I am very honored to meet you." A person with eyes and a face full of red pimples greeted Ye Sumang very respectfully, and at the same time stretched out his hand and looked at Ye Sumang excitedly.

"Junior brother? Hello. Ye Sumang shook hands with this person gently, perhaps in a good mood, Ye Sumang rarely took the initiative to ask: "New to the Directors Association?" ”

Because Ye Sumang didn't remember the impression of this person in the last meeting, he was still very confident in his memory, so he asked such a question.

Wu Xue nodded affirmatively and explained: "I only made a short film this year, and I was fortunate to win a small award abroad. This was recommended by Wu Shixian's predecessors. ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Sumang also understood, Wu Shixian himself knew that the senior of the 95th level, but this senior loves to make literary films, so he is not popular in the hearts of the public. At that time, his weight in the circle was not light, and he was praised by many people as 'one of the most valuable cutting-edge directors of the new generation in China'.

"To win the award is to affirm, don't use the word 'lucky', have confidence in yourself." Ye Sumang smiled and patted Wu Xue's shoulder, and encouraged, after all, he is his junior, and he has joined the Directors Association, so he can be regarded as a person of his own Jingying faction.

I didn't expect Ye Sumang to be so kind and easy to talk to, and he encouraged himself. Wu Xue was so excited, after being patted on the shoulder by Ye Sumang, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

"Senior, I will definitely work hard." Wu Xue patted his chest and reassured, then chatted a few more words, and left, after all, he also knew that there were still many people waiting to get close to Ye Sumang, and he was already very satisfied with being able to talk so much to Ye Sumang. If you take advantage of this opportunity again, it will be a matter of offending people.

Really. As soon as Wu Xuegang vacated the position, someone immediately filled it.

"Director Ye, I'm from Kyoto Film Academy Level 03, my name is Liu Tao, I've seen you at school......"

"Director Ye, I'm from Kyoto Film Academy's level 05. My name is Wang Meng, and I am still studying, and our tutor tried to mention you and said that you were the best student he had ever taught......"

"Director Ye, I am also the Kyoto Film Academy. I'm also in the '02 class, but I'm a ...... in the photography department."

came over one after another, Ye Sumang suddenly found that he had become the most focused existence of the entire banquet, and most of the people who came were from the Kyoto Film Academy, of course, there were also some other academies or wild roads, but the proportion was relatively small.

Moreover, Ye Sumang suddenly found that he had really become a senior, and he either called his senior brother or some other honorific titles, and many of them entered the industry later than himself.

Chen Kaige thought that he had come early, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that there were people who were earlier than him.

And this group of people is still very strange, one by one they are rushing to the venue as if they are rushing to the market, and they don't know what they are doing, do they need to be in such a hurry?

One, two...... Seven of them, this kind of person Chen Kaige met a full seven people on the way from the gate to the banquet hall, and he couldn't help but be curious, and when the eighth person was about to walk past him, he was stopped.

"Who...... Yes! Director Chen Kaige, hello, I'm really sorry just now, I have something urgent......"

"It's okay, it's okay, what are you doing here?" Chen Kaige also knew that he was a little anxious to catch that just now, so he was not angry at this newcomer, but asked curiously.

"This ......" The male director was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he replied honestly: "I heard from a friend that Director Ye came early, so I want to come and meet him, after all, Director Ye is the core figure of our generation of directors......"

Chen Kaige couldn't listen to the explanation for a long time, and after doing it for a long time, it turned out that they all came to get close to Ye Sumang, patted the kid's back, and after letting him go, Chen Kaige couldn't help but show a crying and laughing expression.

Ye Sumang, a stinky boy, is so eye-catching everywhere!

Secretly smiling and scolding, Chen Kaige strode towards the banquet hall, wanting to see what this kid had become.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Chen Kaige who walked into the banquet hall didn't need to look for it, the place around the left and right three circles must be where Ye Sumang is located.

And it was not more than a dozen people as he imagined, but two or three times more, and the rest of the place was empty, except where it was not crowded, but everyone was still crowded there as if they were pilgrimage, making the space distribution in the entire banquet hall seem particularly strange.

In fact, Ye Sumang also has words of suffering at the moment.

How did he think that his previous good attitude had stimulated the enthusiasm of this group of directors, good guys, whether it had anything to do with it or not, they all ran over to say hello, and zhanzhu didn't leave, but the result was more and more, and now it has become Ye Sumang's press conference alone.

Just when Ye Sumang was surrounded by a headache and a swollen brain, he suddenly found Chen Kaige hiding from the side watching the play from the gap in the crowd, and his face was suddenly happy.

"I'm sorry, I have a friend here, so I'll miss you first." Regardless of the fact that a director was still asking questions, Ye Sumang got up politely, and then walked towards Chen Kaige's position outside.

Everyone was stunned at first, but immediately branched out a road, and everyone looked over curiously, and when they saw where Chen Kaige was standing, they suddenly understood.

In this director circle, who doesn't have a few close friends, and Ye Sumang and Chen Kaige are a recognized pair, both of them are big directors, although the age difference is large, but they can talk very much, Chen Kaige's movie Ye Sumang must attend, Ye Sumang's movie Chen Kaige will inevitably be present, this pair of brothers is definitely an exemplary friend in this director circle.

"Senior brother, it's good to have you." Ye Sumang, who was smiling, walked up to Chen Kaige and showed a wry smile, no way, he was asked for a long time by the new generation of directors who were extremely curious, and he would be tired of anyone else.

Chen Kaige pursed his lips at this, and his eyes inadvertently drifted to the distant position.

"You feel uncomfortable, and some people are very envious."

"Huh?" Following Chen Kaige's gaze, Ye Sumang turned his head and glanced at it, sure enough, there were several directors with very high seniority who were peeking at Ye Sumang with unkind faces, and when they saw Ye Sumang's gaze, these people turned their heads with a weak heart, but thinking about the look just now, Ye Sumang clearly saw jealousy and envy.

"No one watched the movies I made, and I was very interested in doing this kind of thing." Seeing the reaction of that group of people, Chen Kaige couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Ye Sumang just shook his head slightly, this group of people was no more than a nodding friend with him, so why bother with their thoughts.

"There are really a lot of new directors joining this year." Staggering this topic, Ye Sumang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at least more than eighty percent of the directors who approached him just now are new faces, and it is the first time that the Directors Association has absorbed so many newcomers at one time.

In this regard, Chen Kaige nodded with a clear face and said the reason.

"This thing is still to blame on the word 'comparison', others such as the Screenwriters Association, the Writers Association, the Actors Association, etc., this year are a large number of recruits and expansions, but Shaohong also felt that she couldn't sit still, and felt that the Directors Association couldn't weaken the momentum, so she relaxed her mouth, this is good, all the background is in, do you say this is necessary? I don't think it's really necessary, and how does collecting a lot of directors who don't know how to help the development of this association? ”

Chen Kaige said with some indignation, obviously not agreeing with Li Shaohong's approach.

Hearing this, Ye Sumang felt that it was no big deal.

After all, the association is only a loose organization, and the specific meaning is to communicate and promote development, plus the protection of the actual rights and interests of directors in the association, etc., but the real actual power is pitiful, at most it has some role in the approval of some awards.

More people are more popular, and the chickens and dogs are still useful, not to mention these directors who can shoot one or more works, and as the saying goes, one more person has more liliang, no matter what purpose he joins, but as long as he comes in, at least he has become a member of this association.

Ye Sumang didn't answer Chen Kaige's words, and Chen Kaige only complained for a few words and stopped, and he also understood that it was not appropriate to openly question the president on this occasion.

The two then chatted about the depression of the film industry last year, and Chen Kaige also told Ye Sumang about his new film Jihua, asking him to give his opinion, and half an hour passed quickly, and the people in the banquet hall gradually increased, and the whole party was about to start. (To be continued......)
