Chapter 237. 【Entered the North American Film Association】

It is said that the upper class society in the United States likes to recruit young and promising people from all walks of life, especially celebrities like Yi Feiyang, who almost dominate the entertainment industry, and it is within their scope of recruitment. If the last time Yi Feiyang successfully entered this kind of society with the help of the banquet of the Hope Lton family, then now, he has washed away the title of Xiaobai and won the favor of many groups, major business consortia, and various political celebrities have all thrown olive branches to him.

Banquets, cocktail parties, private parties......

Golf, clubs, and social dances......

Yi Feiyang had a headache, his feet hurt, and his bones all over his body hurt, and only then did he realize that it was not easy for an upper-class person to do!

After finally participating in all kinds of parties, Yi Feiyang thought that he could easily come down, and then devoted himself to the filming of "The Queen of Prada in Wear", but it backfired, as a well-known person in today's high society, Yi Feiyang received a grand invitation from the American Film Association!

What is the Motion Picture Association of America?

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is headquartered in California. This organization was founded in 1922 and initially emerged as a trading organization for the film industry. Today, it's not just in theaters, but also in television, home photography, and other delivery systems that may emerge in the future.

It can be said that the film association has a lot of power, such as the film classification system, the Oscar award program, and the film review, etc., all of which need to be reached out to them.

Three years ago, when Yi Feiyang was a fledgling and filmed the horror film "Ghost Shadow". began to deal with these "old antiques" of the film association. also experienced the painful process of the movie being banned. Therefore. From the impression of it, Yi Feiyang is very uninterested in this association, especially when a drama is reviewed by these old guys after filming, he feels the most painful...... It feels like you're going to have sex with your new wife, but a group of people come out to check your wife's whole body, and they are meticulously stripped and checked. As for you, you can only watch from the sidelines, hoping that they are just up and down. After reading it, show mercy and don't make any further moves......

This is Yi Feiyang's impression of the American Film Association, so when he received the invitation from the Film Association, he was dumbfounded for three seconds, not quite understanding, these old guys were nervous again, and it seemed that his new film had not started filming yet.

Finally, I figured out through phone contact with Yi Feiyang that the Film Association had to nominate an outstanding filmmaker every two years to serve as the new director of the Film Association, the so-called director. It's just a bunch of good filmmakers sitting down there, listening to these old guys pointing fingers at meetings. Then slap them in the face and praise them a few words...... Similar to the audience. However, this kind of "audience" is very precious, and many excellent directors, screenwriters, and even film company owners in Hollywood hope that the film association can throw an olive branch, recruit themselves, and then get closer to these old guys, which is very important.

It's just that Yi Feiyang doesn't quite understand, what kind of shit luck is he taking, why will these people look at him? It doesn't seem like he's a good boy who follows the rules.

Yi Feiyang had this kind of question, so he couldn't help but call his friend Gusta and ask for his opinion.

As soon as Gusta heard her words, he immediately exclaimed, "No, dear Yi, you were invited?" ”

Yi Feiyang couldn't figure it out, this Gusta's reaction was too big. Later, he learned that Gusta was also one of the directors of the Film Association, but it took him six years to be attracted by the Film Association and recruited. Whenever the Film Association has a meeting on a major issue, Gusta is honored to be invited to participate, and then he can express his views at the meeting and shine like a representative of the National People's Congress.

Now, I heard that the film association is negotiating some issues about the cinema chain, and a filmmakers' meeting is about to be held. As a Chinese director who dominates Hollywood today, Yi Feiyang won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and he is the owner of a film company, so it can be said that his identity is very special, even if these old guys from the Film Association want to "ignore" him, it will not work, so they will go along the river and recruit him as a new director of the Film Association to participate in the discussion work of this conference.

Yi Feiyang understands, this is not because he is talented and shocks these old immortals, but because people want to build a face-saving project, so they use themselves to make a show to the outside world......

In any case, according to Gusta, this is a rare opportunity, if you can enter the film association, it means that you have really been accepted by Hollywood, and have begun to represent American films, you are not fighting alone, you have become a "representative of the people's congress"!

Therefore, Yi Feiyang decided to participate in this year's film conference no matter what!

……

Three days later, the North American Film Industry Association's Filmmakers Conference began.

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be depressed when he came to the MGM Hotel, this was a five-star hotel, and he actually came by taxi with Dures.

Looking at Yi Feiyang's indignant look, Dures looked like he was smiling: "It's really pitiful, man, your Mercedes Benz has almost become the special car of Rabbit Bill's guys, but it has thrown you aside." ”

It's not because the company can't afford to buy a new car, but because the fat man Gao Jiabao has covered the company's money bag too tightly, and it is difficult to get to the sky if he wants to buy some luxury goods.

Jokes aside, Yi Feiyang and Dures got out of the taxi, and then Yi Feiyang looked at the legendary "MGM Hotel" with great curiosity.

Although he has worked hard in Hollywood for so many years, it is the first time he has come to this hotel, not to mention that Yi Feiyang also signed a contract with Hilton, and he can get a seven-fold discount when staying in Hilton, so he has never been to MGM Yi Feiyang, saving money first.

Just as he was looking up at the building with a "hillbilly looking up to a cosmopolitan city", a white Ferrari behind him honked its horn a few times to urge the taxi in front to leave quickly.

Just when Yi Feiyang continued to look up, the guy on the Ferrari came down, and at a glance, he knew that Lu Dao was a very important figure, which only needs to look at its weight to know Lu Dao. However, this obviously did not disturb Yi Feiyang's happy mood, until the big white fat man looked at this side and scolded the secretary next to him angrily: "Damn, let the hotel people drive this kind of hillbilly away, don't let them get in my way here!" ”

I have to mention that Yi Feiyang has always been very simple to wear, although he was packaged once by the fashion emperor Lagerfeld on the Oscar red carpet, so that he was blind and had a good time, but soon, without the supervision of Lagerfeld, Yi Feiyang was quickly beaten back to his original shape, still free and uninhibited, and followed the principle of wearing clothes is clean and comfortable.

According to Yi Feiyang's dress in front of him, although it is not a famous brand, it is not a stall, and the reason why he is mistaken for a hillbilly by the white fat man is also due to Dures beside him...... If Yi Feiyang's taste in wearing clothes is clean and concise, then Dures is raunchy, and to be more accurate, he has no taste at all, no matter what brand of clothes he wears on him for three days, it will become a crumpled rag.

So seeing that Yi Feiyang has such a strange partner, it is not surprising that the fat man has such a misunderstanding. It's just that Yi Feiyang heard it and glanced at the other party, but he didn't think so, such a fool didn't even know himself, so why bother with him.

But he didn't mess with everyone, but he did. As soon as he and Dures walked into the hotel, two security guards approached, they didn't really plan to drive the two away, but they just came up to perfunctory, saying that a big hotel would not even have this quality.

"Huh? Are you China Yi? As soon as one of the black security guards approached, he immediately became excited, this guy is a die-hard fan of Yi Feiyang, he has seen almost all the movies written and filmed by Yi Feiyang, so he can recognize Yi Feiyang at once.

The black security guard hurriedly greeted him: "God, I like your filming very much, can you sign for me?" ”

Yi Feiyang sweated for a while, he had kept a very low profile, and there were still people who could recognize him at a glance, and he didn't look like an ordinary red.

After signing the two security guards, the fan security guard pointed to the white fat man and asked, "Yi, do you know that person?" It was his assistant who asked me to chase you away, saying what kind of hillbillies you are! I think he's a countryman, and even you don't know what to do. ”

Smiling at the security guards, Yi Feiyang and Dures patrolled for a week and saw Gusta. This Gusta glared at Yi Feiyang a few times: "What time is it, you are only late to go up." ”

When he arrived at the venue, Yi Feiyang was immediately taken aback, this was not just one or two people, it was simply a sea of people.

Although this is indeed an exaggeration, there are always 60 people, including the bosses of the seven major Hollywood film companies, as well as the presidents and heads of other film companies, and those who know Yi Feiyang all greet this upstart in the film industry.

However, Yi Feiyang quickly understood that Paramount is one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, and it is natural for Raymond to be selected as a director, as for Spielberg, not to mention, one of the top names in directors, it would be strange if the American Film Association did not win him over.

Yi Feiyang's position is at the bottom of this round table, not to mention, when he first arrived, Yi Feiyang almost couldn't find his position, but fortunately, there was an old man named Gusta to guide the way.

But then again, at this film association meeting, in addition to several veteran chairmen, most of the so-called "directors" are just some audiences who are ready to applaud, and they belong to the foil stream.

Of course, people like Raymond and Spielberg still have the right to speak, after all, the tree has deep roots and people have capital. (To be continued......)
