"Cheers!"

After a glass of wine, Diao Yinan said weakly at this time: "What about my business?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, angry and funny. This is obviously the tallest and most handsome one among their gang, and his talent is also recognized as outstanding, but this character is stuffy, not to mention, it is also sticky, and it is particularly unpleasant.

Huo Xin suddenly said in a bad voice: "Lao Zhang has already said it clearly just now, it's rare that Li Tang values you so much, you don't seize the opportunity." I really don't know what goes through my head all day long! ”

Others may not understand, but everyone here knows that when he first went to college, because of the handsomeness of this cargo chief, he suddenly captured Huo Xin's heart, and he chased after him for a while, but later found that the other party was actually this kind of character, so he gave up decisively.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the two at that time, and they were more free and easy to engage in literature and art, even if they couldn't be lovers, it didn't prevent them from continuing to be friends. It's just that after so many years, Diao Yinan's personality hasn't changed at all, and Huo Xin gets angry when he thinks about it.

In the end, Zhang Baibai said kindly, and said to Diao Yinan, who was sitting beside him: "If I am you, you will definitely not miss this good opportunity, hurry up and finalize the investment with Mr. Li, and save a lot of nights." As for Yu Liwei and Section Chief Jia that you just said, anyway, they said that they would wait for you to make the movie, so it's not too late to ask them for help when the movie is made. ”

"But ......"

Diao Yinan is an honest man, but he also understands that Yu Liwei and Chief Jia said that they would strongly support and help, but this favor is definitely not for nothing, if his film is made well, he will help recommend and distribute it to overseas film festivals in the future, and he will inevitably have a piece of the pie.

But according to Zhang Baibai's statement, can't they help in vain?

"Tsk, why are you so sincere?" Zhang Baibai smacked his mouth and said, "They promised to help, but they didn't invest in you, so it's okay for you to find investment yourself, right?" ”

"Uh...... Right! ”

"Now that Mr. Li has promised to invest in you, isn't it over when you make the movie and ask them for help. If they don't help, it only means that they are talking empty words, and what else is there to say. Of course, when the time comes, they are still willing to help, then it means that these friends are worth making. Do you think about it? ”

“……”

After listening to Zhang Baibai's words, Diao Yinan was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say. However, Liu Zhan on the side heard it clearly, and immediately smiled: "There is nothing wrong with saying a hundred, just do it, who is a real friend and who is a fake friend, you can try it out." ”

It's not a big deal to see this product always look lively, but he is also quite envious of Diao Yinan.

Although Zhang Yang graduated from the directing department, he first did the work of a screenwriter, but eventually became a director.

Zhang Baibai graduated from the Department of Drama and Literature, not only in the TV circle, but now he has also become a film director.

Now seeing that Diao Yinan, who graduated from the Department of Drama and Literature, is also going to become a director, he is inevitably moved. It's just that only he has the lowest education here, and he has a high Chinese certificate. In fact, in this small circle, he has always been showing his teeth and claws, and he used to write the script of "Going" as prose, in the final analysis, these are caused by inferiority, trying to attract the attention of others through flamboyant words and deeds and literary talents, and at the same time show off his own literary talents.

Diao Yi's male personality is indecisive and thin-skinned, even if he puts the pros and cons in front of him in some things, he may choose to make himself suffer because he can't save face. But he was sensitive, and he was just touched by Liu Zhan's ridicule.

He takes the title of friend very seriously, who is a real friend and who is a fake friend, he really wants to try it.

Seeing Diao Yinan sitting there silent, everyone has long been used to it. Zhang Baibai asked again: "In addition to the investment, what else did Mr. Li tell you?" ”

"I asked about the team and suggested that I find a reliable assistant director." Diao Yinan said.

Zhang Baibai nodded and said: "This suggestion is true, the director's professionalism is still very strong, I was fortunate to have Lao Zhang's help at the beginning, and I also found two reliable assistant directors, otherwise I would really be blind." ”

Zhang Baibai is talking about the situation when he was filming "Will Love", and now after the experience of several TV series, he has basically figured out the technical aspects, and can even draw inferences from one another, and often engage in some new ideas, such as the stills of Li Tang and Xu Jinglei hugging each other and lying in the bathtub on the promotional poster of "Going", which is the most proud shot of him during filming.

As he spoke, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "I have a suitable candidate here, and I will introduce you to you later?" ”

"Who?"

The people in Zhang Baibai's team, Diao Yinan, all know each other.

"He's a newcomer, but he's very talented, and he won the Best Director Award at the University Student Film Festival last year." Zhang Baidao.

……

798 is no stranger to Ning Hao, he used to have a few painting friends' studios here, although the place is a little off, although the environment is a little worse, but the rent is cheap.

Ning Hao got out of the taxi and looked at the small building in front of him with a glass curtain wall and aluminum panels, which seemed to be a little out of place with the surrounding environment of the entire dilapidated 798 Road.

He didn't stop too long outside, and walked forward with excitement and a little apprehension.

"Hello!"

The front desk is a beautiful girl, smiling and polite.

made Ning Hao, who had just arrived, quite like the style of a big company on TV, and he hurriedly said: "My name is Ning Hao, from the Beijing Film Academy, and it was Mr. Li Tang and Director Zhang Baibai who called me here." ”

"Wait a minute!"

The beautiful girl took the phone and said a few words, to the effect that the guests of Mr. Li and Director Zhang had arrived.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Ning Hao again: "You wait a while." ”

Ning Hao nodded crampedly: "It doesn't matter. ”

He subconsciously touched the cigarette in his pocket, but looked at the neat environment around him, and still didn't take it out.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and after about two or three minutes, I saw a sweet-looking girl with a child's flower head coming down the stairs.

"You're Ning Dao, right?"

The girl walked up to Ning Hao and asked politely, then stretched out her hand to introduce herself: "I am Zhao Luoyao, Teacher Li's assistant." ”

Ning Hao was a little flattered, and hurriedly shook the other party's small hand and said, "Assistant Zhao, hello!" You can just call me Ning Hao. ”

Zhao Luoyao smiled and made a gesture of please: "Ning Dao, you are polite, please come with me." ”

Ning Hao followed Zhao Luoyao all the way up to the third floor, and when he passed the second floor, he took a look, hey, the room was full of girls, but everyone was very serious and was busy in their own hands.

The third floor is quiet, and on the right hand side is an office with a closed door, and the door number reads "Chairman's Room", and there seems to be a faint sound inside. On the left-hand side is a reception room with bright windows and a circle of sofas in light tones with a simple Scandinavian style.

"Director Ning, please take a seat. Teacher Li and Director Zhang will come over in a while. ”

"Oh, okay, I'm early." Ning Hao said apologetically.

It was supposed to be ten o'clock in the morning, but he was afraid of being late, so he came here fifteen minutes early, and he was negligent when he just came in, and he should have waited outside for a while before coming in.

Zhao Luoyao smiled and asked politely, "Ning Hao, what do you drink, coffee?" Tea? ”

Ning Hao originally wanted to talk about tea, but when the words came to his lips, he said, "Coffee." ”

"Wait a minute!"

After a while, Zhao Luoyao brought a cup of hot coffee, accompanied by a small can of milk and a can of sugar cubes.

The aroma of coffee is intense.

Ning Hao's family is wealthy, and he has seen the world anyway, and knows that this is coffee freshly ground with coffee beans.

"Thank you!"

"Wait a minute!"

He didn't add milk to the coffee, just put a sugar cube in it, stirred it with a small spoon, tasted it, it was a little bitter, added another piece, and adjusted it again, this time it was just right, the bitterness was slightly sweet, almost equivalent to the American half pond.

He was a man who couldn't sit still, so he grabbed his coffee and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the north side. The first thing that catches your eye is the sloping lawn, although the color has begun to turn a little yellow, but it is still rare to see in the capital where every inch of land is valuable. Then I saw a wind-and-rain corridor leading from the back door of the small office building where I was located to a large sail-like zigzag roof across the sloping lawn, with a huge factory building in a strong baroque style.

Yo, it turns out that there is still a lot of things inside.

Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh that the strength of this newly established Shengtang Film and Television may far exceed his previous imagination.

He received a call from Zhang Baibai a few days ago, saying that Diao Yinan was going to make a movie and was building up a group, and asked him to come over to help and become an assistant director.

Although he won the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival last year, as a college student, he can only be regarded as a small character in the entertainment industry, and the most important thing in this year is the director.

Nowadays, the university is expanding, and the director departments of Nortel, China Opera, and Shanghai Opera are graduating more than 100 every year, not counting the fact that the art departments of major colleges and universities across the country have also opened students who have graduated from the director major, not to mention those who are halfway monks such as Zhang Baibai and Diao Yinan.

With so many directors, how many movies are there? The domestic film market is sluggish, and there are very few films invested by studios, and there are not enough directors in the system.

More monks and less porridge is the status quo of this era, unless you have the ability to emulate the so-called sixth generation directors who can afford to raise their own funds.

Although Ning Hao said that his family was well-off, he was not rich after all, and he really couldn't afford the luxury art of movies. So he can only rely on shooting commercials and MVs to slowly accumulate, and at the same time, he slowly mixes contacts in the circle, looking forward to becoming a real director one day.

Zhang Baibai is the senior he met when he was filming the MV. Compared with Zhang Baibai, who became famous with "Will Love" and has been in the TV circle, Ning Hao is just a little Karami. Fortunately, he is a native of Shanxi, and his father was in business in his early years, and he has witnessed it since he was a child, and he has long been skilled, has high emotional intelligence, and can be a man, especially won the Best Director Award at the College Student Film Festival, which easily won the favor of Zhang Baibai.

This opportunity will come soon, a few days ago, a phone call introduced him to Diao Yinan as an assistant director. He has long heard of Diao Yinan's name, a well-known screenwriter in the industry, who is a classmate and friend of Zhang Baibai, and now he is also going to change his career to become a director.

It is probably a trend for screenwriters to change careers to become directors, in addition to promoting their own Zhang Baibai, and so is their idol Jia Section Chang, who used to be an auditor of Nortel's Department of Literature, with his perseverance, starting from making short films, and gradually growing into the current big director, the sixth generation of directors This group is recognized as a leader.

Ning Hao has actually been deliberately imitating Section Chief Jia's road to fame in the past two years, exploring himself little by little.

In fact, compared with Chief Jia, he has a greater advantage, and his technology is more comprehensive. For example, he loved painting since he was a child, and after graduating from junior high school, he went to a secondary school called Shanxi Film School, studied art design for three years, and was assigned to the Shanxi Repertory Theatre as an artist after graduation. 、

It's just that he was not satisfied with the status quo, and it didn't take long for him to resign and come to the capital, and signed up for the Adult Education College of the Art Department of Beijing Normal University to study directing. This kind of refresher class is similar to Nortel and Chinese opera, one-year system, basically you can go to it with money.

After a year in Beijing Normal University, he was admitted to the Department of Photography at Nortel, which is a real full-time undergraduate.

Studied art, photography, and studied directing for another year, this is almost an all-rounder, plus he has been painting since elementary school, and his aesthetic literacy is online, and he quickly stood out in the group of shooting MVs. and then relied on the money earned from filming MVs and advertisements to shoot this "Thursday, Wednesday", which won him honors and was favored by Zhang Baibai, and was really able to gain a foothold in the circle.

In contrast, he has a higher starting point than he did back then, and the only thing missing at the moment is luck. You must know that Section Chief Jia completed his famous work "Xiao Wu" with the 200,000 yuan invested by the Hong Kong boss, and has soared since then.

As for him, he has now created a script called "Big Diamond" at hand, including the script "Incense" that he is currently working on as his graduation work, but unfortunately he will not be able to find investment for a while.

However, this time Zhang Baibai's summoning made him see an opportunity. Without him, "Going", which is now being released and is about to break through the 10 million mark at the box office, is not only starring Li Tang, but also invested by him. What's more, Zhang Baibai asked him to be Diao Yinan's assistant director, and this drama was actually invested by Li Tang's Shengtang Film and Television.

You must know that when he first joined Nortel, he witnessed the road to godhood of Cheng Er, a generation of great gods in Nortel's director department.

In fact, those of them who study art have their own pride. For example, there is also a senior named Teng Huatao in the Department of Literature, including Lu Chuan, who graduated from the graduate class of the Department of Directing, one has made good achievements in the field of TV dramas, and the other was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival with his debut film "Looking for a Gun". But people have resources at home, and to put it bluntly, they can get this kind of opportunity arranged by the family, and of course they themselves have good abilities.

But what they value more is the rise of the grassroots, such as Chief Jia and Cheng Er.

Compared with Chief Jia's creative road to fame, Cheng Er's road to godhood has always stood behind a man.

This man is Li Tang, from the beginning, the two collaborated on Cheng Er's graduation work "Criminals", which has been widely circulated in the circle so far, and then decisively invested in Cheng Er's first feature film "The Third Man", which achieved unprecedented success and completely shaped Cheng Er into one of the benchmarks for outstanding graduates of Nortel's directing department.

So when he learned that Diao Yinan's movie was invested by Li Tang's Shengtang Film and Television, Ning Hao made up his mind that he must perform well this time and strive to be able to enter the eyes of Mr. Li Tang. If you can get the investment of Shengtang Film and Television in the future, there is not only money here, but also resources to recommend participating in overseas film festivals.

But he never expected that happiness would come too quickly and too suddenly, and last night he received a call from Zhang Baiyi saying that Mr. Li Tang wanted to see him, and the time was about ten o'clock this morning.

He didn't sleep well all night, and he was excited and apprehensive on the way here. At this time, while Mr. Li and Zhang Baibai hadn't come over, they just had a cup of coffee to refresh themselves.

The first update, there is!
