At the CPPCC meeting, when Zhang Tan attended, he only spoke once.

put forward a plan of "Bei Yan should hold its own international film festival", this plan is not nonsense, but Zhang Tan came up with it according to the Bei Yan International Film Festival in his previous memory.

There is currently a lack of influential film festivals in China.

If you don't count Xiangxiang and Taiwan, only the Chenghai International Film Festival and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film have a little international influence in the mainland, and the Beiqi University Student Film Festival is also famous in China, and the Ivy Spring Film Festival is not famous in China. There used to be a Zhuhai Film Festival, but it was later discontinued.

As a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, how can the film festival be worthy of the growing film market? As the Chinese market that wants to catch up with and surpass the United States in the market in the future, there are few film festivals that can be handled, which is simply shabby to the extreme.

It is important to know that there are film festivals in almost all major cities in the United States, and they are all kinds of film festivals.

the Sundance Film Festival, the largest independent film festival in the United States and in the world; the New York Film Festival, the oldest art film festival in the United States and the most spectacular in the world; SXSW, the world's largest music film festival.

In addition, there are Hawaii Film Festival, Fantasy Film Festival, San Francisco Film Festival, Hollywood International Film Festival, Los Angeles Horror Film Festival, Colorado Independent Spirit Film Festival, etc., a series of large and small film festivals.

It is these film festivals that have promoted the prosperity and development of Hollywood films, because more films can be exposed through film festivals, so as to discover new directors, pick up pearls in the sea, and find genre films.

Filming in Hollywood. For better or worse, at least you can participate in dozens of film festivals, big and small.

But in China. Hundreds of movies are made every year, and only more than 20 make it to theaters. More movies. can only appear at the film festival, there are only two or three film festivals a year, and after participating in it, it means that the film has no chance to be exposed.

Not every director has such a big reputation as Zhang Tan, which makes the market rush to it.

Many new directors are starving to death in their debuts.

meeting.

Zhang Tan's proposal was enthusiastically discussed by many committee members.

As the political, economic and cultural center of China, Beiqi really needs an international film festival to enhance its influence, and its competitors have international film festivals in Haihai. How can Bei Yan be willing to be empty-handed.

However, at the meeting, it was not possible to discuss the three, five, six, seven, and it is not so simple to prepare for the film festival.

Whether there is a huge market support, whether it can attract domestic and foreign films to participate in the exhibition, whether it can get government support, and how to balance the organizers of the film and the expenditure and income are all very difficult problems.

Walking out of the conference hall, Zhang Tan was stopped by reporters.

Asked a whole bunch of his proposals.

Zhang Tan coped with them one by one.

Although the meeting was inconclusive, the practical impact was great.

In the subsequent network observations. Many citizens of Beiqi have burst out with great enthusiasm for the establishment of the film festival in Beiqiao. The executive vice mayor of Beiqi City also came to Zhang Tan in person. Solicit Zhang Tan's opinion on the establishment of a film festival in Beiya. The director of the film bureau of radio and television also contacted Zhang Tan afterwards to discuss the feasibility of holding a film festival in Beiqi.

Maybe it's Zhang Tan's celebrity effect. Maybe the proposal hit the G spot of the Beiqi City Government, in short, his plan. It got a lot of attention, and there was a lot of interest from top to bottom.

Zhang Tan was equally excited.

With the follow-up of radio and television and the Beiqi government. The preparation of the Beiqi International Film Festival should be inseparable, and the first proposal at the CPPCC meeting was followed up with a feasible follow-up, which gave him a huge sense of achievement.

……

The sense of accomplishment didn't last long, and Zhang Tan had to put aside the Beijing Film Festival and "Source Code" and rush to the round.

Grandfather Zhang Henong was given a critical illness notice.

When Zhang Tan returned to Heqi, he only had time to see his grandfather for the last time, and the old man died, and from then on, heaven and man were separated forever. When he left, he was very peaceful, and his family had already accepted it in his heart, so he didn't feel much sadness. After returning from the hospital, I was busy arranging the funeral.

Filial piety, funeral, burial.

Because Zhang Henong has a pension, there is still a lot of pension, plus the money for the filial piety of his children in recent years, especially Zhang Tan's filial piety, the balance is about 100,000 yuan.

"A total of 115,634 yuan, 30,000 yuan for the funeral expenses, and more than 80,000 yuan." The uncle wore an armband of "keeping filial piety" on his arm, and during the vigil, he gathered several brothers and nephews together to discuss Zhang Henong's posthumous affairs.

The fourth uncle directly proposed: "Don't move the 80,000 yuan first, and use this money to buy paper, artillery, and fireworks every year when you go to the grave during the Qingming Festival and the grave of the previous year." ”

"Do you want to repair the tomb, make it bigger, and make it more beautiful?" Brother Zhang Qiang asked.

The uncle denied: "The tomb has been repaired twice, how can it be repaired and occupy other people's graves?" Pine trees, tombstones, stone lions, concrete roads, and fences are all there, so don't move them anymore. ”

After a pause, the uncle asked Zhang Tan more: "Yangyang, do you think this money is used like this?" ”

Although Zhang Tan is a junior, but now the family matters, the uncle will refer to his opinions. Zhang Tan nodded: "Yes, uncle, you just look at what to do." ”

The uncle said, "Then it is decided, the 80,000 yuan is left here and not moved, and this money is spent every year to go to the grave, and when I go to the grave, I eat together at noon and at night, and I also spend this money." When the money is spent, the four old brothers will take turns to take charge of it. ”

Zhang Quanshun interface: "Just follow the way of the eldest brother, I will be buried tomorrow, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Tan, you are a few little ones, go to the street in the morning to buy all the fireworks and firecrackers, and contact the team, don't delay when you come back from the crematorium, solve the matter at noon, clean up in the afternoon, and go back to work if you should go back to work." ”

And so it was settled.

……

It was busy for three days.

Zhang Henong's funeral was completed, although he was a little worried in his heart, Zhang Tan hurried back to Haijin City, and the crew of "Source Code" was filming during the critical period, and he couldn't delay too much progress.

A few days after concentrating on filming, after being a member of the CPPCC Bei Yan, he hung up a new title.

His proposal for the Beijing Film Festival, finally under the leadership of Radio and Television and the Beiqi Municipal Government, officially established the "Beiqi International Film Festival Preparatory Group", which was headed by Liu Anbo, executive vice mayor of Beiqi City, Zhang Hongsen, director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, as the deputy leader, and Zhang Tan also served as the deputy leader, to prepare for the Beijing Film Festival together.

Of course, the three of them are only in name, and the specific candidates for the work will be handed over to the professionals below to deal with.

The preparatory group plans to officially establish the first Beijing Film Festival in 2010.

……

In this chaotic situation, on March 20, 2009, the day of the 24th solar terms and spring equinox, the crew of "Source Code" was officially completed in Haijin City, and all the cast and crew of the crew had a beautiful meal together in a nearby hotel.

"Cheers, good luck with Source Code!"

"Cheers!"

Staggered, pushing cups and changing lamps, gathering for half a year, the feast finally dispersed. (To be continued.) )
