After participating in the opening ceremony, Chen Beiming was about to leave with Zhang Yu and others, when suddenly, someone shouted in the distance: "Mr. Chen-Mr. Chen-"

Chen Beiming turned his head to look, but it was a white man about thirty years old calling him.

"Hello. Is there anything you can do with me? Chen Beiming asked while stretching out his hand and shaking hands with the other party.

"Hello Mr. Chen, that's the case, we would like to invite you to the film forum tomorrow morning."

The other party explained his intention and handed the invitation to Chen Beiming.

Chen Beiming looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely attend on time." ”

In fact, Chen Beiming understands that people didn't plan to invite him, just because he and his movies and his team have been in the limelight for the past two days, and it would be a bit unreasonable to exclude him.

This film forum is still relatively high-end, the main participants are world-renowned directors and some research experts in film theory, so the organizing committee mainly invites famous film directors and film experts from Europe and the United States, as for the East - sorry, people have always thought that the East is a desert for movies, even if "Wolf Warrior", "Operation Mekong" and "Top Gun" have achieved good results, people do not have a good impression of the Oriental film market.

So Chen Beiming actually has a very sober cognition, even if people invite him, it doesn't mean that people really take him seriously.

So he secretly vowed that he would surprise these guys tomorrow.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the next day.

At ten o'clock, Chen Beiming came to the forum on time.

As he expected, seeing him coming, many directors and many film experts showed surprised expressions, and some even patted him on the shoulder and said, "Chen, are you in the wrong place, this is the venue of the Film Forum." ”

Chen Beiming shook the invitation letter towards the other party, and the other party was suddenly taken aback, as if he saw the sun rising in the west.

At ten o'clock, the forum started on time, and the host said it freely, and then said: "So, which friend will talk about his point of view first!" ”

Chen Beiming raised his hand: "Let me say a little bit of my opinion first." ”

He did it on purpose.

Because this is no longer the country of Xia, it is not a place where modesty is beautiful, in the West, you can only express yourself well and confidently convince others of you, and others will take a fancy to you!

The host was very surprised to see Chen Beiming raise his hand first, but he finally nodded at Chen Beiming and said, "Okay, then first of all, let's welcome Mr. Chen, a filmmaker from the East, to say a few words." ”

Chen Beiming took the microphone from Miss Etiquette, didn't stand up, sat on the sofa and said loudly: "First of all, I suggest that the organizing committee change today's topic. I don't think the topic of our forum today should be called Western American film culture, Western American films have been spread to the world, everyone has watched a lot, so it makes no sense to discuss this issue on such an important day today, today is a very important day, well-known directors and famous film experts from all over the world have come here, and the opportunity is rare, so I suggest that our topic should be changed to the development trend and challenges of the film industry in the 21st century, most of us here are film directors, to tell you the truth, We are more concerned about how to make a movie that is popular and popular, rather than some bullshit film culture? ”

As soon as Chen Beiming's words came out, the scene was silent for a moment.

All the people raised their heads and looked at Chen Beiming with different eyes.

"Ha, the director from the East, it's a little interesting!" Some people think it's funny.

"That's right, what we care about most is how to make a movie that is applauded and popular, not some bullshit film culture, and those experts care about film culture?" Some people think so.

"This guy, is this here to make trouble?" There are also people who frown and don't like it in their hearts.

The host was also overwhelmed by Chen Beiming's words, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, an old man who had been silent and had been sitting in the most inconspicuous position raised his head and looked at Chen Beiming with bright eyes, he was originally wearing a top hat, but at this time he couldn't help but take off his top hat and asked: "So, Chen from the East, what kind of development trend do you think films in the 21st century will have, and what challenges will they face?" ”

Swish!

Everyone looked at the old man in unison.

"Shhh

"Hans? How did he get here? ”

"My God, I'm not dreaming, am I? I actually saw Mr. Hans, the founder of the American West Film Festival? ”

Everyone exclaimed.

The festival's organizers were even more surprised.

Because no one thought that this old man, who was almost seventy years old, would come here, and everyone couldn't understand how this guy could get in and not be seen?

But at the moment, none of these issues matter.

Hans is the founder of the American West Film Festival, a veteran of the American and Western film industry, and his status and role are self-evident, so everyone stood up to greet the old man.

Chen Beiming naturally walked over and shook hands with the old man: "Mr. Hans, if I knew that you would also come to this year's film festival, I think I would definitely bring you a can of the most authentic three-leaf black tea from Xia Kingdom." ”

Hans was surprised: "Do you know that I like the three-leaf black tea of Xia Kingdom? ”

Chen Beiming smiled and replied generously: "I know more than that, not only do I know that Mr. Hans founded our current Western American Film Festival, but also in recent years has been calling on film directors and all filmmakers in Western America to open their minds and embrace the future. ”

Chen Beiming immediately said it with a smile.

Some of the things he said were his homework before he came here, and some of them he said - at first glance, he thought he had said a lot and knew a lot, but when he thought about it carefully, it was all empty words and clichés, and there was not a word of material.

But it was clear that the old man did not care about this, anyway he was very happy to hear it, he felt that a film director from the far East could understand him so well, he was very happy.

Because the old man was recognized, the organizers immediately invited the old man Hans to the main seat and handed him the qualification to host the meeting.

Of course, in addition to these, the media reporters in other pavilions not far away and other places were immediately notified, so after a while, the huge conference room was suddenly full, and in addition to the reporters, there were also some filmmakers, and everyone wanted to hear for themselves what Mr. Hans, the patriarch of American and Western cinema, would say.

But Hans's attention seemed to be only on Chen Beiming, he said a few words, and then shifted the topic to Chen Beiming: "Chen, can you continue with the topic you just talked about?" ”
