Chapter 346: The Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild
PS: In the last few days, let's take care of it. Dude comes home at nine o'clock every night and goes out at five o'clock in the morning, and he can only code out two chapters.
At the beginning, Wu Siyuan served as the chairman of the "Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild", and he was very high-spirited and proud.
In Hong Kong, screenwriting is not a specific profession, and almost all film screenwriters are directors. The establishment of the "Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild" has pinched almost all the first-line directors and directors in Hong Kong together, and he, Wu Siyuan, is the "head".
However, when he was full of ambition and wanted to show off his strengths, do something for Hong Kong films, and be able to leave a name in history and shine in the annals of history, he suddenly found that the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny.
There is no office space, and an association has to squeeze into the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to be in the company of logistics and passenger transportation, shabby and dilapidated, and the people's hearts are disheartened.
There are no office funds, associations of dozens of people, a little membership fee on the full screen, to maintain daily operations, and the staff is full of complaints and complaints.
Wu Siyuan didn't know how many hairs he had lost and how many cells had died, and he had worked hard to grow and enrich this association little by little, and it had a lot of influence.
As long as he thinks about the days when he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night, Wu Siyuan was full of resentment towards Yang Lin. However, who is to blame for his fame?
However, when he was facing Jing'er, he added a little blockage to Yang Lin and dug a pit, and Wu Siyuan was happy to do so.
After the chance encounter at the bar, within a few days, the invitation letter from the "Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild" arrived in Yang Lin's hands. It is said that an annual meeting will be held to discuss the work plan for the coming year. Yang Lin can't shirk this title. In any case, he also has the hat of "executive vice president".
This is the annual meeting of the "Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild". The venue was originally a small hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. There is no way, the funds are limited, although the network is very wide, but no one wants to come out of this, so I have to be wronged. But after Yang Lin knew, he waved his hand and chartered the auditorium of the Peninsula Hotel.
It is a place where the "Hong Kong Film Awards" are often held. I have to say that Director Yang Da is bold. Ostentatious. didn't know that Yang Lin is now the invisible majority shareholder of The Peninsula Hotel. This amount of money is just a left-handed hand-to-right-handed hand. I didn't pour it into my hand. still went into Jia Yuyao's pocket.
The Peninsula is the most important event for the film industry. Extremely important to the performance. But when Yang Lin asked Mai Yonghao, who contacted the matter, he learned that Jia Yuyao had gone on vacation. Yang Lin touched his nose, his heart was empty, not a taste.
It seems that Jia Yuyao and herself are really inseparable. That's it.
People don't even give a chance to meet.
I'm not in a good mood. The spirit was not very concentrated, and Yang Lin basically did not speak at the entire annual meeting, sitting there in a daze.
"Arin? Arlin? Xu Ke sat beside Yang Lin, stabbed him hard, and whispered again and again.
Yang Lin was stabbed in the leg by Xu Ke, and then he woke up like a dream: "What are you doing?" ”
Xu Ke looked up at Wu Siyuan, whose face was pale, this is helpless! It's good that people's seniority and age are there, okay to give some respect? This Yang Lin, I really don't know how to say that.
The venue was silent.
Yang Lin was a little confused. You have a meeting when you have a meeting, what does it have to do with me? Besides, you Wu Siyuan cries poor all day long, I have solved it for you, why are you not satisfied? Give me a face? I owe you!
Wu Siyuan was even more angry, don't worry about saying that, you have to call me a senior, right? I shouted at you twice, but there was no response, what are you going to do? Show your muscles? Or take my chicken and scare this group of monkeys? It's too much!
Yang Lin scratched his eyebrows and looked unpredictable: "What's the matter?" ”
What's the matter?
The whole audience, collectively shut up, it was simply silent, and the needle drop could be heard. Everyone is thinking, how did this Wu Siyuan offend this guy Yang Lin? You see, you talked about it for a long time, and people actually asked you "what's the matter". Naked ignorance!
Wu Siyuan's lungs are about to explode! Good guy, what I say is a fart?
Xu Ke couldn't see it well, he could see that Yang Lin was distracted, he didn't hear what Wu Siyuan said at all, and he didn't deliberately let Wu Siyuan not get off the stage. Hurriedly lowered his head and explained to Yang Lin in a whisper.
Yang Lin was also embarrassed, and coughed dryly: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, and I'm not in good spirits, so I took a nap." Well, you want to set up the 'Hong Kong Film Directors' Association, right? I have no opinion, Chairman Wu, what you say, then how to come. ”
If you are rude first, then sell your favor, anyway, this "Hong Kong Film Directors Association" has always been established.
Wu Siyuan gritted his teeth and said in his heart Okay, since you said this, then don't blame me for pushing you into the pit. He grimaced and said in a deep voice: "Since Alin has no opinion, then, I propose that the chairman of the first 'Hong Kong Film Directors Guild' be Mr. Yang Alin." ”
Before his words fell, his friend Wen Jun immediately said, "I agree." Everyone knows that in the Hong Kong film industry now, Mr. Yang's fame and achievements are second to none, who is not willing to bow down? Mr. Yang has the ability, the momentum, and the world, and can lead us to revitalize Hong Kong films, promote Hong Kong films to the world, and rush into Hollywood! ”
Yang Lin is still a little stunned, let me be the chairman? It seems that this position in history belongs to Wu Siyuan, right? This guy, fame and fortune, is willing to give up this position? If it is abnormal, it is a demon, and it cannot be careless. hurriedly refused: "No, no, no, I am young and shallow, how can I take on this important responsibility?" Everyone also prefers meritocracy, I, Yang Lin, will give full support and spare no effort for the development of Hong Kong films! ”
Wu Siyuan smiled: "Ah Lin said that, it's not right. We old guys are all old-fashioned and outdated! Now the times are different, the film industry is also changing with each passing day, and we need young people like you to lead us to make progress and go further! ”
Wen Jun and several of Wu Siyuan's sworn friends clamored together and strongly recommended Yang Lin to take this position. It was the people on Yang Lin's side, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Wang Jing and others who also nodded again and again, feeling that Yang Lin should take the position of the first chairman of the "Hong Kong Film Directors Association".
Yang Lin squinted slightly, drawing a soul in his heart. What the hell is this Wu Siyuan? Looking at his sworn friends, it seems that they have colluded in advance, and in this matter, they are united and push themselves out. But what is the conspiracy? Yang Lin thought about it, but he couldn't think of it.
Seeing that all the participants almost unanimously supported themselves as the chairman, even if there was a trap, they couldn't shirk it. Otherwise, wouldn't it make people laugh?
"In that case, I don't push it too much. It's rare for this person to look up to me, and I, Yang Lin, am not ignorant. In a word, for Hong Kong movies, do your best, and die! ”
Yang Lin expressed his attitude, and the applause naturally sounded like a tide.
Wu Siyuan finally smiled and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it couldn't be better." Although all of you present are members of the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild, you are also eligible for membership of the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild. In my opinion, let's just go here and discuss some of the basic constitutions of the 'Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild. ”
Of course, everyone had no opinion.
Wu Siyuan made a look, Wen Jun stood up, and said loudly: "Everything else is easy to say, everyone knows that when the 'Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild' was just established, there was no office space and only a few hundred thousand office funds, which seriously affected daily work. Now that Mr. Yeung is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild, how should these problems be resolved? ”
Wen Jun started, and Wu Siyuan followed: "That's right, think about that time, it's really difficult!" Now, there is a lesson from the past, and it is better to be cautious and solve these basic problems. Otherwise, the work of the 'Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild will not be easy to carry out. Alin, you are the head of the house, you have to come out with a charter. You can't rent a warehouse and use it as a venue like you did at the beginning. ”
Yang Lin looked at Wu Siyuan, the two looked at each other, the provocative light flashing in Wu Siyuan's eyes, Yang Lin understood it at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. This one is avenging the revenge of the original arrow! At the beginning, Wu Siyuan happily ascended to the position of chairman of the "Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild", but unexpectedly, he was hit on the head, and all kinds of difficulties came to him, which made him very embarrassed, and the doubts he suffered were countless, which made Wu Siyuan anxious.
Now, is this trying to put me on the fire and roast?
At the beginning, Wu Siyuan was difficult at the beginning, embarrassed, embarrassed, and excusable. But now, if Yang Lin can't open up the situation, or is it the same as at the beginning, wouldn't he be even more incompetent than Wu Siyuan?
Yang Lin sighed secretly, this guy is really narrow-minded! Wu Siyuan, to say that he is a villain, is a bit excessive. There is integrity, and there is ability. How to say it, it is a typical example of "hating people and being poor". If you are poorer and worse than him, he will pity you and help you sincerely. But if you are better than him, he will be jealous of you, see that you are not pleasing to the eye anywhere, and do everything possible to give you a small stumbling block, dig a pit, and push you again.
But, old Wu wow, you don't know, in fact, buddies have "cheats"! This little thing is rare to live with you, and it is rare to live with me?
At that moment, Yang Lin smiled slightly: "Since Lao Wu said so, then, let's discuss the constitution of the 'Hong Kong Film Directors Association' here." The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, this office location, funds, must be solved first. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, can he still let you pay for it yourself? ”
Shut up when you say that.
Isn't this a slap in the face of Wu Siyuan? It's still the crackling kind. So, everyone's eyes were staring at Wu Siyuan. (To be continued......)
