The directors of Huaxia are divided into several eras.

Every era has its own characteristics.

For example, the first director......

It was from the beginning of the last century to the end of the 20s, the whole Chinese society was in turmoil, feudalism and progress were intertwined, and many people were not satisfied with the art of writing, drama performance and rendering, and began to pursue another form called "film".

Those directors are considered to be the founders, and most of the films they made were silent films, satirizing feudalism and social reality......

Such as......

Fourth-generation directors......

Basically, they were graduates of the BJ Film School in the 60s, and most of the films they made were "throwing away the crutches of drama", pursuing a rustic and natural style and open structure, and the countryside gradually became the central theme of their works......

For example, the fifth-generation directors who are still active in the film industry and have a high status.

They have encountered some changes in the times in China, and they have also suffered a lot, they have been educated youths and have gone to the countryside, and some even rely on selling blood to maintain film art.

Because of the suffering, most of the things filmed have some social obscurity, but this metaphor is more subtle, and the content of the expression has begun to combine Chinese and Western.

But......

The sixth generation of directors in this world saw the invasion of European and American culture, and then, under the influence of European and American culture, many people became underground directors who filmed "satirizing China and exposing scars......

……………………

Zheng Shaoshuai does have an arrogance in his bones.

Arrogance comes from inheritance.

Yes!

Every generation of directors has a legacy.

Although it is not on the surface, it is an unwritten rule in the Chinese film industry.

This kind of rule, in a sense, forms a lot of circles.

For example, the Beijing circle, the northwest circle, the Hong Kong circle......

In the circle, many resources are shared, and some people will be arranged their own path as soon as they enter the circle.

When a generation of directors retires, they will not retire from the circle, but retreat behind the scenes to pass on their resources and connections.

Zheng Shaoshuai is a person in the Beijing circle, from the time he made his first film, he controlled the resources that countless others coveted, and then, with the nurturing of these resources, he stood on the podium in Berlin at the beginning of the millennium and received a Best Debut Award.

That is, the award that Bi Feiyu received when he was in Berlin, as early as ten years ago, he received it.

Every movie he makes, although many movies cannot be broadcast on the market, has a very high reputation in the Chinese film circle, and in addition to the three major European film festivals, other awards have been soft......

The director who has been famous for a long time looks at Bi Feiyu, a rising generation.

Naturally, he looked down on him.

He graduated despite Yan Ying.

But he doesn't have the inheritance of five generations of directors, let alone the foundation, and he hasn't even released a real movie in China......

"Director Zheng, I was looking forward to you and Zhang Sheng cooperating......"

Before the red carpet.

Li Yanhong looked at Zhang Sheng's back as he left with a smile, and had an inexplicable bad premonition in her heart.

She looked at Zheng Shaoshuai, her expression was extremely embarrassed, and she complained a little bit between her words.

But Zheng Shaoshuai shook his head lightly: "I've heard of Zhang Sheng's name, but I don't think I can have any cooperation with him......"

"But at least don't turn into an adversary...... It's really unwise to set up an opponent for no reason......" Li Yanhong frowned.

"I won't force myself to become inflammatory, even if I am a guide, I will do the same...... They have too strong and too choking commercial spirit. ”

"Zhang Sheng is talented......"

“……”

Zheng Shaoshuai glanced at Li Yanhong and stopped talking.

Although Li Yanhong is a middle-level member of [Shengshi Entertainment], she is a part of the [Shengshi Entertainment] movie on the surface, and one of the agents in charge of the [Shengshi Entertainment] system.

But in the eyes of Zheng Shaoshuai, she is more like an escort or a follower.

Especially when he saw her nodding in front of his teacher, the sense of disdain became stronger and stronger.

Zhang Sheng?

It's just a small capitalist who has just emerged and made some achievements.

There are countless capitalists of this size in China, even if they know that Zhang Sheng has climbed up step by step from the bottom and has a certain ability, Zheng Shaoshuai is just as indifferent.

After the ordinary capital reaches a certain level, his size and actual promotion channel have been fixed.

So far, there are only a handful of people who have really risen from the bottom to become the right to speak, and big capital.

It is precisely because he knows certain rules in this world, and the circle behind him allows him to do things according to his preferences, so he is too lazy to waste time on Zhang Sheng.

As for talent?

He hadn't watched "Seven Days to Kill".

Even if he has seen it, he thinks that "Seven Days of Killing" is a commercial film that goes through the back door and pays attention to marketing......

What else is there?

…………………………

"Director Zheng is this character, Mr. Zhang, this matter is my fault, I apologize for Director Zheng, and apologize for my wishful thinking......"

Before the red carpet.

Li Yanhong met Zhang Sheng.

The words are sincere, and the eyes are sincere.

The more she knew about Zhang Sheng's information, the more Li Yanhong didn't dare to underestimate Zhang Sheng.

The real capital promotion channel may be monopolized by a force, and very few people can break through this monopoly in the real sense, but ......

She saw a possibility in Zhang Sheng!

She used to be arrogant to Zhang Sheng, but now, she can't see it at all.

Zhang Sheng smiled and nodded.

Listening to Li Yanhong's series of cooperative words with herself.

Li Yanhong still hopes to have a direction of cooperation with herself, not only in movies, or artists, agents, and even brands.

She has climbed from the bottom to the present, and it seems that she knows very well that seizing some opportunities is to seize a trace of vitality to climb up.

Bi Feiyu next to him kept staring at Zheng Shaoshuai.

Zheng Shaoshuai was being held by the popular actress Zhou Bingqian and walked on the red carpet step by step.

His eyes looked up from beginning to end, smiling, as if with "forced qualifications" and a pride in his bones.

Vaguely, everything is his foil.

He is naturally popular, and countless reporters from China have surrounded him and interviewed him, vaguely flattering.

From the millennium to the present, he has been to Cannes four times, and three films have been shortlisted for Cannes, which is also second to none in the circle of six generations of directors in China.

[You've been to Cannes so many times, but you've not found nothing, haven't you? 】

[Proud of what?] 】

[It's not the Beijing circle, it's not that you are reincarnated well, it's not ......]

Bi Feiyu's eyes turned a little red.

...... in the crowd

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

As if unprecedented, the feeling of wanting to defeat Zheng Shaoshuai was surging in his heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger!

He took a deep breath, watched Zheng Shaoshuai walk to the end of the red carpet, and then gently pinched Zhou Bingqian's ass as if no one was around......

After a few minutes......

He saw director Xu Zhongke walk the red carpet again......

And then......

It was their turn.

When they walked on the red carpet, Bi Feiyu felt a little more relieved in his heart......

Although he was snubbed and looked down upon by directors such as Zheng Shaoshuai and Xu Zhongke, on the red carpet, many reporters from China or Europe and the United States were very interested in him.

They took a lot of close-ups of him.

I also asked him how he felt.

This feeling of being in the spotlight diluted the unpleasantness in his heart, and then, before he knew it, he walked out of the red carpet.

After walking out of the red carpet, he subconsciously looked at the venue of the [Cannes International Film Festival......

He saw Xu Zhongke and Zheng Shaoshuai chatting with some European and American directors.

Their expressions were not at all as cold as they had been when they had been.

They were smiling on their faces.

With a hint of flattery in his smile, it seems to be deliberately catering to something, often some directors in Europe and the United States say a word or two, and they will smile brightly, especially when shaking hands, Zheng Shaoshuai even held the hand of "Robin Hood" director Ridley with both hands, and refused to let go, although I didn't understand what Zheng Shaoshuai was saying, but probably, it should be some words of praise......

and the previous disdain, arrogance, and arrogance are simply like two people!

Bi Feiyu suddenly thought of three words: "shepherd dog"!

Behind......

Song Yufei followed Zhang Sheng off the red carpet.

Song Yufei was almost attached to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng has a unique sense of security, which makes her feel at ease when facing countless reporters on the red carpet.

She unconsciously had the "embarrassing" dream of being on the plane in her mind.

She still can't remember what the dream is, but vaguely, it feels a little charming.

Red Carpet ......

Finally walked out.

There is a little inexplicable regret, but more of an indescribable sense of satisfaction, when she walked into the [Cannes International Film Festival] venue, she seemed to have a little more confidence and confidence.

She tilted her head and walked in.

Although she raised her head, she did not look arrogant, but maintained the mysterious beauty and pride of an oriental woman.

……………………

Ten minutes before the start of the Cannes International Film Festival.

Zheng Shaoshuai is still chatting with many directors......

Six generations of directors have their own arrogance and their own uniqueness in pursuing art.

But perhaps they have been influenced by Western culture since childhood, and they instinctively yearn for Western culture, longing for themselves to be recognized by the West, Europe and the United States, and then integrate into it and be respected internationally.

But this yearning, in their view, is a search for sacred art, not the so-called "shepherd dog".

Zheng Shaoshuai enjoyed this sense of communication when chatting with European and American directors, and the sense of being recognized......

In the sea of polite gentlemen, he felt more and more that he had integrated into the group.

But......

The smile on his face stopped slightly when he inadvertently saw a place.

When he saw Zhang Sheng walk in, he also started chatting with some directors.

At first, it was just a few ......

But I don't know why, the chat atmosphere on Zhang Sheng's side seems to be very good, and many people around him are attracted by Zhang Sheng.

Some directors laughed with Zhang Sheng, completely losing the gentlemanly demeanor when chatting with themselves......

And then!

Vaguely, several directors came over and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Shengzai......

After shaking hands, Zhang Sheng began to introduce Bi Feiyu......

These directors also shook hands with Bi Feiyu, and some directors had appreciation in their eyes......

Zheng Shaoshuai began to frown slightly.

A slight uncomfortable feeling welled up in my heart......
