Many years ago.

Ke Zhanyi never thought that he would kneel for a movie.

The market is cold, the plot is outdated, a lot of money is spent on publicity, and there are one or two good screening slots lined up, but still not many people enter the cinema.

Countless people saw half of it, and silently walked out of the movie theater and went to the Hollywood blockbuster next door.

He had heard a lot of reviews about this "Hundred Birds".

Some say that the movie is boring, some say that the movie doesn't have any explosion at all, and the whole process is bland, and some say that this movie can't keep up with the times, it's not a bad movie, but it's hard to save the gods.

Its subject matter is too unpopular.

The skills are inherited, and it is also a very remote suona among musical instruments.

With the advent of Western musical instruments, the halls of elegance are full of pianos, violins, guitars, and electronic music......

The influence of suona is getting smaller and smaller, and it is becoming more and more eliminated by the times......

Funeral weddings, I don't know when it started, the most used are electronic recording, speaker music......

Gradually, no one asks the suona master to play and sing, and more has become a form that no one knows, just like the dregs of the old era, and then gradually disappear into the smoke and dust one day, and finally become the ruins of the era.

……………………

The atmosphere of the hotel is becoming more and more awkward.

Zhang Sheng's voice was cold, and after he finished speaking, he stopped talking.

The dull and oppressive feeling froze Ke Zhan Wings and couldn't breathe.

After the teacher You Tianming kicked him, Ke Zhanyi finally stood up in shame, but after standing up, his head never lifted.

At this moment, in fact, even he himself does not have much confidence.

He fought for opportunities again and again to make the movie "Hundred Birds" known to as many people as possible.

Every time it is with anticipation, expecting the film to be praised and appreciated, but in exchange for more than that, it is a sigh again and again.

Mr. Zhang...... We've raised 10 million, and we just hope that you can give "Hundred Birds" a chance to be screened commercially......"

When the sample was handed over to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng inserted the sample into the computer and was about to play it, Ke Zhanyi took a deep breath.

He finally looked up.

His words were pleading, and he couldn't help but speak again.

Teacher You Tianming trembled slightly, and then just stood silently beside him.

This may be the last chance for "Hundred Birds".

"Sit down first."

As if he had heard the truest feelings in Ke Zhanyi's heart, Zhang Sheng's cold voice gradually softened, and then motioned for the two of them to sit down casually.

After turning his phone to silent mode, Zhang Sheng sat on a chair and quietly played "Hundred Birds" in front of the computer.

in the hotel.

Gradually, the movie began to play.

At the beginning of "Hundred Birds", there is absolutely no brilliant color of a blockbuster.

Its colors are very monotonous, based on black and white, supplemented by a slight light color, like a documentary......

The loud suona, with the gorgeous wedding, opened the prelude to the plot, and a wedding in the last century, in the hustle and bustle, gradually appeared on the screen.

Zhang Sheng doesn't know much about movies, but Zhang Sheng understands business, and if you look at the beginning of this movie in terms of business model, the tone of the movie is too boring.

It is all the laughter in the neighborhood collar, and the expression of the suona maker when he plays the suona, rendering the silence after a scene of hustle and bustle......

However, it is too much like a documentary, and there are no documentaries with some deliberately gripping scenery, which is as simple as a bowl of clear soup and little water.

And suona ......

Even if it was Zhang Sheng, when he first watched it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

From a commercial point of view, it is definitely a work that has failed completely, and even if such a work is a masterpiece, it can be regarded as a niche.

He unconsciously remembered a movie called "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" in the original world......

These two movies, really like!

Ke Zhanyi was afraid that Zhang Sheng would not be able to hold on to the beginning, so his eyes were staring at Zhang Sheng, so nervous that his palms were sweating.

However, Zhang Sheng did not roughly skip or even fast-forward like other reviewers, but carefully watched every detail.

Little by little, time passed.

The movie has reached the middle, and it has gradually reached the plot where many audiences have to leave.

In the first half, the respect of the older craftsmen for suona also describes the rules, and the tone of [teaching] is described in detail.

There are conflicts and touches, but this kind of emotion is relatively restrained, not as good as commercial films, and even the emotional outbursts, sharp conflicts, and hysterical spiritual shocks in some art films.

did not deliberately forcibly establish an opposition between the two apprentices, resulting in the expected conflict points and counterattack points......

It's just a plain narrative, as if an old friend tells a story in front of you, the story is very detailed, but it's hard to sleep.

Zhang Sheng was still watching, and he didn't jump, but became more serious.

Ke Zhanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The first half is written as "teaching", and the second half narrates the times......

With the change of the times, new and trendy gadgets have gradually been integrated, electronic music has become the mainstream of young people, and the utensils of the old era have gradually been abandoned.

One is gradually being recognized by the public, while the other, under the torrent of the times, has gradually become a margin, gradually abandoned, and has become something that does not know why it exists.

However, the older generation is still sticking to the "ingenuity" in their hearts, and they are always performing for art......

The audience is getting smaller......

Even, at the end of the song, there were only a few applause......

Ke Zhanyi continued to stare at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng saw the end of the movie, and after watching it, Zhang Sheng looked at the noisy crowd outside the window, but did not respond.

"Mr. Zhang, I'...... There are 10 million in this bank card, I never thought about it, I have to rely on the relationship between us, what kind of back door to go, I just hope that there will be one more chance......"

Ke Zhanyi's heart suddenly had no bottom.

He hurriedly took out his bank card, and then looked at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng never responded, and when Ke Zhanyi wanted to say something more, he was stopped by his teacher You Tianming.

You Tianming seemed to feel that Zhang Sheng was different from other reviewers.

Quiet in the room.

Outside the window, there was more and more noise, and countless noises filled the room, and vaguely, Ke Zhanyi could hear many directors, all pulling customers to buy tickets.

"Director Ke, the commercial exhibition hall of [Southern California International Film Awards] is full, and there is no good time for the temporary scheduling of films......

Zhang Sheng's words suddenly rang out.

When Ke Zhanyi heard this, his face turned pale in an instant.

"That, Mr. Zhang......"

"The movie "Hundred Birds" is destined to make no money in the offline business model, 10 million, put it on one, it has no effect on your movie, this 10 million, I think, don't waste it......"

He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng's words, like a needle, pierced him fiercely in the heart, making his teacher You Tianming gloomy.

Neither said anything......

They only saw Zhang Sheng take out the USB flash drive, and then handed it to Ke Zhanyi.

Then I also saw Zhang Sheng stand up and turn off the computer.

"Let's go!"

When the two of them heard this, they quickly stood up as well.

When he was about to leave the hotel, he saw Zhang Sheng shake his head: "I'll follow you to meet Avery. Mr. Tashi, I don't know much about the art of film, but I'm willing to talk to Avery. Mr. Tashi and other judges and teachers recommend this movie......"

Just when both of them thought that everything was almost like this, Zhang Sheng laughed.

Ke Zhanyi and teacher You Tianming were both stunned, and then stared at Zhang Sheng in shock.

"Let's go!"

They saw Zhang Sheng walk out of the hotel room.

The two woke up like a dream and followed excitedly.

……………………………………

The screening room is very large.

Avery. Tashi was sitting silently.

When he saw Zhang Sheng come in with two Chinese directors and explain his intentions, Avery . Tashi's face was a little ugly.

"I've largely accepted the commercialization of part of the [Southern California International Film Awards] because I know that where business flourishes, it will create prosperity......"

"But ......"

"The review is over, Mr. Zhang Sheng, you once said that the [Southern California International Film Awards] is a place with rules, it is only for movies, and does not accept any unspoken rules......"

Avery. When Tashi said this, he showed no mercy.

Zhang Sheng nodded seriously: "Avery. Mr. Tashi, I respect your choice, this is what you make me admire the most, this time I came over, I never wanted you to change the rules, all his control, all in your hands, I just want to invite you to watch a movie, Avery. Mr. Tashi, I have a limited appreciation for the art of cinema, but I think it may be an unpopular work...... I hope to recommend this movie once. ”

"Just a recommendation?"

"Yes, recommended."

"Well, take a look...... However, Mr. Zhang Sheng, I remind you in advance that no matter how good this movie is, I will not change any rules, otherwise, I will take the blame and resign! ”

"Don't worry!"

It's late at night outside the window.

Screening room.

Avery. Tashi asked the staff to plug in the data of "Hundred Birds", and then watched the movie silently.

However, before watching the movie, Avery . Tashi drove Ke Zhanyi and You Tianming out.

Ke Zhanyi and You Tianming were waiting outside.

The wait became more and more torturous, as if the final death sentence was being pronounced.

At midnight, the two saw McCaskey, Wu Guanli and other judges walking into the screening room.

By 2 a.m., there seemed to be a heated discussion in the screening room.

But no one came out.

It wasn't until the next morning that the door finally opened.

"Let's go!"

"Mr. Zhang, there is ...... inside"

"The rules can't be changed, but ......"

"But what?"

"I helped you request an additional screening, and I'll sell tickets with you!"
