Chapter 92: If You Don't Die, You Can't Die
When they met on the elevator, the two naturally wanted to say hello.
Fang Yan took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello Teacher Cui, I'm Fang Yan. β
Cui Yongyuan hurriedly shook hands with him: "Hello Director Fang, I'm Cui Yongyuan, thank you for coming to participate in the "Tell the Truth" program. β
"Teacher Cui, don't say that!"
Fang Yan said with a smile: "It's my honor to be on "Tell the Truth", my mother is very happy to know about it." β
"Haha, if we knew this, we should have invited our aunt to be the audience!"
After some exchanges, Cui Yongyuan didn't have a shelf at all, which made people feel very comfortable.
Judging from later generations, Cui Yongyuan is a very controversial person, when he was a CCTV host in the early days, he had an excellent reputation and image in the eyes of the public, and most people liked him very much.
After leaving CCTV, Cui Yongyuan showed his arrogance and ignorance, and expressed many misguided opinions.
In Fang Yan's view, Cui Yongyuan is a spiritual idealist, he is too extreme and stubborn, blindly believes that his wrong views are correct, and has a feeling of "everyone is drunk and I am sober".
As a host, Cui Yongyuan is undoubtedly first-class, but as a media reporter, he is completely unqualified.
After coming out of the elevator, Fang Yan, under the leadership of Cui Yongyuan, came to the lounge of "Tell the Truth".
"Yo-Director Feng, you're already here!"
At this time, in the lounge, there was a man with a sharp beak and buck teeth, and this person was the famous Chinese director Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang is one of the most well-known directors in China, and his life experience can definitely be said to be legendary.
Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige are both from serious professional classes, only Feng Xiaogang is a wild man, he has been climbing all the way, and finally became one of the top directors in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The theme of this episode of "Tell the Truth" is "The Past and Future of Chinese Films", and the program team only invited Feng Xiaogang at the beginning, and Fang Yan was added temporarily.
Of course, Fang Yan's ability to appear on the show this time is not only due to the relationship of Huaying Group, as a new generation of Chinese directors, he won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, and this honor can represent "the future of Chinese films".
"Xiao Cui, long time no see!"
"Yes, the last time we met was at the Spring Festival Gala in '99."
"When you record the show later, you have to be merciful and don't make fun of me!"
"Okay, you, Director Feng, are still afraid of this little thing!"
Feng Xiaogang and Cui Yongyuan chatted happily, and it could be seen that the two of them had a good relationship.
However, what people never expected was that a few years later, Feng Xiaogang would severely pit Cui Yongyuan, causing the other party to suffer from depression directly.
Here's what happened, in 2003, Feng Xiaogang wanted to use Cui Yongyuan as the prototype to create a comedy movie, Cui Yongyuan felt that this was a good thing and immediately agreed.
In the following days, Feng Xiaogang often asked Cui Yongyuan for advice to learn more about the details of the host's work, and then dictated it to the screenwriter to write a script.
Under constant consultation, Feng Xiaogang finally finalized the script, but when Cui Yongyuan asked about the plot of the movie, Feng Xiaogang deliberately concealed it, just telling Cui Yongyuan that it would definitely make his eyes shine. β¦
In December of that year, the movie was finally released, in this film called "Mobile Phone", Ge You played Yan Shouyi, the host of a talk show "Have a Talk", and his wife discovered his extramarital affair through his mobile phone.
With the popularity of the "Mobile Phone" movie, Cui Yongyuan at that time was questioned, and people felt that the plot in the movie was a reflection of the reality of Cui Yongyuan, who not only lost his job because of this, but was also verbally attacked by many people, and finally suffered from depression.
What is angry is that Feng Xiaogang did not apologize, he just said simply: "I want to make a joke with Xiao Cui, but he doesn't accept this way of joking, and he feels a little regretful." β
Listen, is this what a man can say?
Since then, Cui Yongyuan and Feng Xiaogang have formed a feud, and the two are still fighting until many years later.
What's even more interesting is that in 2018, Feng Xiaogang announced that he would shoot "Mobile Phone 2", which made Cui Yongyuan angry enough to scold him directly on social media.
At that time, Feng Xiaogang was already a big man in the industry, and he must not be able to bear being scolded, so he directly hit it on social media and posted a "Ten Questions Cui Yongyuan".
At this point, the two officially started a war on social media, and finally detonated a "dynamite barrel", setting off a monstrous wave in the entertainment industry.
AS THE SAYING GOES - NOZUONODIE!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"You're Fang Yan, right?"
After chatting with Cui Yongyuan, Feng Xiaogang set his eyes on Fang Yan, who was in the group.
"That's right, hello Director Feng!" Fang Yan nodded and said.
Feng Xiaogang patted his arm, and smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Young man is amazing, you have won glory for our Chinese filmmakers!" β
"You've won the prize, I'm just lucky!" Fang Yan smiled indifferently and replied in a low-key manner.
To be honest, he is not interested in Feng Xiaogang, although this person has directorial talent, but he is not right, so let's deal less with it.
Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and said with emotion: "You don't have to be modest, even if you are lucky, it is part of your strength." β
Speaking of winning awards, it will always be a pain in Feng Xiaogang's heart, he has never won an award at the three major European film festivals in his life, so he can't always raise his head in front of Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige.
Regarding the matter of winning awards, directors actually have the same disease as actors, as long as they are famous for shooting commercial films in their early years, if they want to win awards later, the difficulty coefficient is several times higher than others.
On the actor's side, you can also canvass for votes by selling ugliness and pretending to be miserable, but on the director's side, there is really no way at all.
That's why Fang Yan wanted to take advantage of his youth to win the award before, anyway, the domestic film market has not yet developed, and he doesn't make much money from making commercial films, and there is no music company to release albums to make money.
As it turned out, he was right this time!
With the aura of the Golden Bear Award, Fang Yan is definitely the number one among domestic directors, except for a few bigwigs, he doesn't need to be false at all.
Now that he has won the award, Fang Yan's next movie should prove his box office ability.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Half an hour laterβ
There was a knock on the door in the lounge, and a staff member came in and said, "Director Feng, Director Fang, the show can start recording." β
"Okay, got it."
Under the guidance of the staff, Fang Yan and Feng Xiaogang came to the recording site of "Tell the Truth".
"Are you both ready?" Cui Yongyuan walked over with a wicked smile on his face.
Feng Xiaogang frowned: "Xiao Cui, how do I feel that you have bad intentions!" β
"Director Feng, you're too worried." Cui Yongyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is just a talk show, relax!" β
In this unsettling atmosphere, Fang Yan's first TV program recording in his life began.
