Chapter 1342: Zhang Wan's Question
Sure enough, as Liu Chang said, the evening program was really exciting.
But even so, Sun Peng's mind was not on the stage, even if he sat in the center of the first row of the stage, sitting with the principal of the film academy.
The camera lens that floated over every now and then made him very uncomfortable.
So when the new Principal Liu said something to him, Sun Peng responded a little absent-mindedly: "Excuse me, what did you say?" ”
"I mean, would you be interested in becoming an honorary professor at your alma mater?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly disappeared without a trace, and Principal Liu continued: "I don't have to hold classes regularly, just hold a few lectures occasionally...... Composition, literature, or directing are all available. ”
"Uh......"
This time, he heard Principal Liu's words clearly, but Sun Peng was speechless.
Well, if you take into account his current achievements in composition and screenwriting, let alone the Beijing Film Academy, it is more than enough to be an honorary professor in any school in the world. And the box office of the movies he directed is enough, and there seems to be nothing wrong with going to class the students of the directing department.
Merely......
What you carry, can you count it as your own?
Although Sun Peng will not be so brain-dead as to tell the truth, it is impossible to be cheeky and indiscriminate, and really give any lectures to students - to be reasonable, isn't that a misguided child?
So after being stunned for a moment, Sun Peng hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "President Liu, forget about lectures or something, let alone be a professor!" I know very well at my level that I have to ask other directors to help me make a movie...... Haha, it's not easy to do your own thing in a down-to-earth manner. ”
"Teacher Sun......"
"Okay, Principal Liu, there's no need to talk about this matter anymore."
Waving his hand, Sun Peng stopped the principal who was going to continue to persuade him, and said in a low voice: "Today's show is very exciting, let's continue to enjoy it quietly, okay?" ”
“…… All right. ”
Seeing that Sun Peng's attitude was extremely firm, Principal Liu could only nod helplessly and didn't say anything more.
On the other side of Principal Liu, a middle-aged man in his forties listened to the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Sun Peng, who was separated from him by one person, and fell into deep thought......
……
"I'm sorry, it's really too late."
After the party, faced with Principal Liu's invitation to go to have a supper together, Sun Peng naturally declined - at ten o'clock in the evening, he was not interested in going to have a supper with a man he didn't know well.
Hurry home and go to sleep, it's the right thing.
However, just after saying goodbye to Principal Liu, who was full of regret, after walking to the parking lot, Sun Peng was about to get into the car when a voice suddenly came: "Teacher Bai, can you wait a little?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice of the visitor, Sun Peng turned his head to look, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Director Zhang? You're not gone yet, are you? ”
"Haha, I'm waiting for you."
After saying hello to Principal Liu, the great director Zhang Wan walked to Sun Peng's side and said with a smile: "It's hard to see each other again, how can you just say hello?" Haha, it's only ten o'clock and you're going to go back? Would you like to find a place to have a drink? ”
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng nodded and smiled: "Okay, then have a small cup." ”
Everyone understands the meaning of a small glass, so after half an hour, two bottles of beer were eaten, and Sun Peng's words naturally increased. Of course, the key to this lies in Zhang Wan's identity, one of the most well-known and appealing directors in China, who was best at costume blockbusters five years ago, and has begun to transform into other fields in recent years......
If you have to find a similar director, Lao Mouzi on the earth is similar to Brother Kai.
Zhang Wan and Sun Peng, the two have naturally met.
Although there is no intersection, but occasionally attend an awards ceremony or something together, like the two of them are basically sitting at the same table or in the same row, it is natural to meet and say hello to each other.
To tell the truth, Sun Peng still admires this Zhang Wan and Zhang Dao.
The rise of Chinese costume blockbusters can be said to be a very long process. From 20 years ago, filmmakers began to increase investment in costume films, and finally reached the peak ten years ago, it can be said that Zhang Wan, who is 46 years old this year, is a figure that must not be ignored. It was also his "Reckless Man" with an investment of 200 million Chinese coins that kicked open the door to the overseas market.
In the following years, Zhang Wan's blockbusters have always been the most popular.
Although the decline of Chinese costume blockbusters is very fast, with four or five movies at his peak, Zhang Wan has already established his status as a top director in China.
At that time, he was only about forty years old.
Therefore, Sun Peng can respond to Fang's invitation, Zhang Wan's identity and status is the most important, otherwise you can change to another small director, or even an ordinary big director? It's half past ten in the evening, drinking with a director who is not very familiar, he might as well accompany Lao Liu, who is also not very familiar, to have supper!
As for what Zhang Wan, who invited him to drink, wanted something, Sun Peng naturally knew it.
Therefore, after the two small beers were eaten, Sun Peng, who didn't want to go around the bend, said with a smile: "Director Zhang, I see that the response to your last two movies is good!" This year's is a magic movie, last year's ...... What's that? ”
"Black Pupils?"
"Yes, "Black Pupil", the box office seems to have exceeded two billion, right?"
"Well, two or two billion, it's still alive."
Nodding, Zhang Wan smiled bitterly: "However, the overseas box office is only 400 million, so the final box office is just barely recouping...... Hehe, it can't be compared with Mr. Bai's movie "Hero". ”
When he said this, Zhang Wan's attitude was quite sincere.
This is not deliberately to slap the other party, and there is no need for Zhang Wan's identity. However, he is really interested in "Hero" directed by Sun Peng, obviously he only added some martial arts elements, why is it so popular? can even let the declining genre movies find a new way again?
In recent months alone, three martial arts blockbusters with an investment of 500 million have announced their projects, which is not fake news!
After chatting about these few words, the topic of the two naturally turned to the movie.
At this time, Zhang Wan had nothing to hide, so he first touched the wine glass with Sun Peng, and then said with a straight face: "Teacher Sun, I have a question I want to ask you!" ”
"Hehe, Director Zhang is polite, please tell me if you have something!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Wan said in a deep voice: "I just want to know, how are you sure that a movie like "Han Bo and Lingshi" will also be popular with European and American audiences?" What do you think of the magic of Huaxia...... Or mythological movies, can they really make foreigners like them? ”
