Chapter 37: An Extraordinary Meeting (Part II)
"Guan Tong, the fifth-generation female director of Chinese literary films, the best actress at the 40th Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan Island, and the best actress at the 22nd Academy Awards, has participated in and assisted in directing many films, including "Overlord", "Thorn Qin", "Woman in the Night" and many other classic films, and is currently the chief director of the company's investment film "Youth" ......"
Guan Tong stood up and nodded at everyone, showing a smile.
Her smile looks gentle, very natural and kind, and her appearance itself is outstanding, even if she is middle-aged, she is still full of ladylike elegance and charm.
She was once a goddess-level figure of Zhou Yang's father's generation.
In Zhou Yang's memory, the movie "Thorn Qin" is the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts films, when I was a child, when this movie was broadcast on the streets and alleys, the small shops outside the school were full of movie character posters, and the best-selling one was the one Guan Tong holding a sword, facing the camera, white clothes and snow, beautiful!
As for that "Overlord"......
After coming to this world, Zhou Yang has heard the name of this movie more than once.
This film is director Chen Kai's masterpiece, and it is also the only film in China that debuted in Cannes, France and won awards, and even now, more than ten years later, this film is still evaluated by foreign media as one of the top ten classics in the history of world cinema.
And Guan Tong's performance in the movie was nominated for Best Actress at Cannes......
Although it is a pity that she did not win the award, she is also one of the most brilliant female representatives of her era.
This is definitely a very heavy weight!
Zhou Yilin and Zhou Dao...... He is one of the representatives of the five generations of Chinese directors, the best director of the 7th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, the best director of the 23rd Moscow International Film Festival, and has directed many films such as "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Warrior", "Gladiator", etc...... I'm currently busy with the post-production of "Warring States" and the Berlin International Film Festival, so I won't be there today......"
Although Zhou Yang has not heard every work of this director, he is not unfamiliar with the director Zhou Yilin......
Feng Kai has already told him more than once in front of this legendary fifth-generation director!
His battlefield is not in China, so the box office of each of his movies is not high.
Although the box office is not high, it does not mean that he is not well-known......
Since the turn of the millennium, every film he directed has been shortlisted for the three major European international film festivals, and has won a number of nominations......
His "Warring States" was pinned on high hopes by the Chinese film industry before filming started, and many people even claimed that he would definitely be able to win the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival on behalf of the Chinese this time!
This is another big guy!
"Mr. Wu Zhenhong, director of the company's music department, music pop artist, once personally excavated and tailored the first album "Cold Night" for Zhao Tianwang, participated in Mr. Shen Qirong's "Passing Away" album supervision and producer in the same year, and personally wrote a rock album title song "Wandering" for Mr. Zhou Jian the following year......"
Zhou Yang saw the middle-aged man with a mustache and thick glasses gently pushing his glasses, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Then he continued to sit calmly in his chair, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and he looked like an artist who did not eat the fireworks of the world.
He Yiming, who was next to him, was the first to applaud excitedly, shouting "teacher" and "teacher" in his mouth......
Zhou Yang's heart was shocked.
It doesn't matter what Yiming fanatia!
In memory, this master is definitely a godfather-level existence in the music industry.
"Cold Night", "Gone", "Wandering"!
These three albums spanned a big era in Xiangjiang, directly created the three music kings of the late 80s and post-90s music scenes, and in that era, created a sales myth that future generations cannot surpass!
"Feng Kai, Best New Director at the 35th Golden Horse Awards, nominated for New Director at the R International Film Festival, one of the directors participating in the Asian Rising Star Director Program, has assisted in directing many films participating in the Berlin Film Festival such as "Gunfire", "Racing", "Far Cry", etc., and independently directed "Brothers" and "Shocking Sea", two films with high box office reputation, and the box office is ...... good"
Zhou Yang, who was immersed in the shock, heard another round of applause.
In a trance, he saw Feng Kai in applause, straightened his clothes, stood up and nodded to everyone, and showed a faint smile.
He was very excited to see the artists on Xingcai's side, and several good-looking girls applauded desperately, secretly sending autumn waves to Feng Kai.
But Feng Kai ignored these people at all, in the applause, he just sat and looked at the identity introduction of the Xingcai people, his expression was a little indifferent and arrogant.
His expression made the eyes of those girls even more hot and crazy!
After listening to Feng Kai's resume, Zhou Yang felt that the whole person was stunned.
This moment......
He finally realized why when he first came in, everyone revolved around Feng Kai, all kinds of flattery, and all kinds of sycophants.
He himself is one of the most awesome people of the younger generation, with unlimited potential and unlimited scenery!
He bowed his head.
He suddenly felt like he shouldn't be sitting here.
Not only should it not be, but it is unworthy.
I should stand like a waiter serving tea and pouring water next to me, serving tea and pouring water for these characters.
He couldn't sit still, and his head was lowered even more.
"Zhou Yang, director of "Mine Bottom".
An Xiao's faint voice rang out.
And then......
It's an indescribable silence!
Zhou Yang subconsciously raised his head.
He saw that everyone was looking at him, and then at An Xiao again, as if with doubt.
He was watched by so many people, and he only felt panicked in his heart.
For a moment, he wanted to go into the hole and never come out again.
I, am I really a director......
He asked himself, but the answer he got was no.
It was at this time......
"Mr. Zhou Yang is a cutting-edge director in our Huaxing Entertainment, the screenwriter, director, starring, producer, and project leader of the movie "Mine Bottom", and this film will go to the Berlin International Film Festival with "Warring States".
Feng Kai put down the information sheet and suddenly raised his head to break the silence.
His expression was very serious, more serious than ever, and at the same time there was seriousness in his voice, full of unquestionable.
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.
They looked in shock at the young man, who was dressed strangely, as if he didn't fit in with the whole world.
Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard this.
He looked up.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to explain......
He felt that Feng Kai had lifted him to a height that did not belong to him!
He was very flustered and at a loss.
"I ......"
"Well, yes, it's a good addition!"
Before he could say his words, he heard An Xiao's faint affirmation.
…………………………
Applause rang out.
Feng Kai was the first to applaud.
In applause......
Everyone's eyes changed a little when they looked at Zhou Yang.
Song Qianqian on the other side stared at Zhou Yang, and the curiosity in her lovely eyes was even stronger, as if she was very eager to know what Zhou Yang's background was......
"Who is this Zhou Yang? Why didn't we have any information at all......
"I don't know, but this year, Huaxing Entertainment has invested in three movies, and he can carry the beam, which shows that this person is definitely not an ordinary director, have you seen Feng Kai's expression, who is Feng Kai? That's the eyes are above the top, and the arrogance is too high, when have you ever seen him serve a person like this? Now look at the look on his face when he just spoke......"
"He's supposed to be a character......"
"But are there any characters in the director's circle that we don't know?"
"On the contrary, I think he is quite simple, he has a sense of art, he can sit here, it means that his weight is not lighter than Director Feng, I guess it may be an experiential art director who came back from studying abroad, we may pay attention to overseas Chinese directors, he may be the ...... of that piece"
"Hmmm......"
“……”
Faintly, Zhou Yang heard whispers.
And also......
Those more intense eyes.
Zhou Yang bowed his head.
He felt his face a little hot, he was uneasy, but at the same time there was a sense of vanity.
"Next, let's start the formal meeting process, which artist of Xingcai Company will we Huaxing Entertainment sign and how much the signing fee is, depends on the voting ...... of everyone present in the company."
"And, of course, your company's brokers......"
The applause stopped.
After An Xiao began to announce that the meeting had officially entered the process, a thought appeared in Zhou Yang's mind in a trance.
Huaxing Entertainment is voting for signed artists.
And he!
He, a little man who shouldn't have sat in this position, a layman who doesn't understand anything, really has the right to vote?
Is he worthy?
"Director Zhou, I hope you can also express your personal opinion appropriately, I know that your vision of choosing people is very vicious......"
“……”
Just when Zhou Yang was in a complicated mood, An Xiao looked at him again and said lightly.
