"Mr. Zhang, are you in Brazil?"

"Yes, Chairman Lee."

"Haha, I would like to recommend a director to you......"

"Huh?"

"Where are you, I'll bring him over to you now......"

"In the separate office of the [Southern California International Film Festival] organizing committee."

"Okay."

in the office.

After Zhang Sheng answered the phone, he was surprised in his heart.

He didn't know Li Qingming, the president of the [Huaxia Directors Association], and he didn't have any deals before.

The other party suddenly announced that he would come to visit, and Zhang Sheng vaguely felt that it was not a good thing.

Zhou Songtao silently sorted out some of the documents that Zhang Sheng brought over: "Then let's do this today." ”

"Okay, Brother Zhou......"

Just as Zhou Songtao stood up, his phone rang too.

Zhou Songtao frowned and answered the phone.

He found out that the call was also from Li Qingming, at this moment.

"Hello."

Director Zhou...... Oh no, it's around...... Haha, look at me, I'm used to it......"

"Chairman Lee, ...... are you?"

"Zhou, I just made an appointment with Zhang Sheng, I hope you can come with me and talk to Zhang Sheng about our [Southern California International Film Awards], there are many high-quality movies in China, none of which have been shortlisted for the selection, and Zhang Sheng has not greeted me for this award before, so it is inevitable that some movies will be missed...... Today I have sorted out some of our high-quality films in China in 2011, in order to make our Chinese people's film awards more exciting and diverse, I hope to make these films on the stage for the first ......time."

"Chairman Lee, strictly speaking, I don't care about these things...... Some things, it would be better for you to talk to Zhang Sheng alone......"

"How can we not care about it, everywhere, strictly speaking, we are all collaborative art units, we all have one goal, we all want to make film art better......"

“……”

The other party chattered a lot.

And Zhou Songtao frowned more and more when he listened.

After simply refusing, he hung up the phone.

When he looked at Zhang Sheng again, Zhou Songtao looked at Zhang Sheng earnestly: "Zhang Sheng......"

"Brother Zhou, what do you ......say?"

"Chairman Li's trip is very deep, no matter what he talks to you about, I hope you can stick to your heart, you represent not only the organizer of a film award, but also another new force......

"Brother Zhou, with your words, I'm enough!"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he nodded instantly, and then he was keenly aware of something.

Subsequently, he sent Zhou Songtao out of the office.

………………………………

President of the Chinese Directors Association.

Don't look at it as just an association, although it is a fictitious position, it also enjoys certain state treatment, and in the film field, it also has the right to formulate and submit rules to the leadership.

The office door opened.

Zhang Sheng saw a fat man in his forties walking in happily.

Behind the fat man was a young man about thirty years old, and when the young man came in, he greeted Zhang Sheng with a smile on his face.

The fat man is Li Qingming, the president of the Huaxia Directors Association.

Zhang Sheng warmly invited the two to sit down, and then took out some tea foam from the drawer and made tea for the two.

"This is Director Dong, Director Dong Chao ......"

“……”

When Zhang Sheng heard Li Qingming's introduction to Dong Chao, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and his smile remained unchanged on the surface: "Director Dong, sit ......"

After several people sat down one after another, Li Qingming kept praising how successful the third [Southern California International Film Awards] was and how meaningful it was.

Zhang Sheng said a few words modestly, and while pouring tea for the two, he smiled brightly, as if he was really praised to the sky.

"This is the first Chinese award in the world...... As the leader of the Huaxia Directors Association, I feel honored, haha! ”

Li Qingming's laughter is very hearty and very contagious.

Zhang Sheng was still modest, smiling hypocritically, looking like he was smiling when he was praised.

"Okay, okay, don't be modest, Brother Zhang, here, I thank you for your contribution to Huaxia films!"

After Li Qingming's hearty laughter, he gradually became serious.

He stood up and shook Zhang Sheng's hand solemnly.

After shaking hands and sitting down, he looked at Zhang Sheng: "Brother Zhang, here, I sincerely invite you to join our [Huaxia Directors Association] family, and add glory to our Chinese films!" ”

"Chairman Lee, I don't seem to be qualified...... Strictly speaking, I'm not a director, I'm a producer at best......"

"Haha, your contribution is absolutely qualified, Brother Zhang, don't shirk it...... I just talked to Director Zhou about you, and Director Zhou also praised you more than you, praising you for being young and promising......"

“……”

After the two laughed hypocritically, Li Qingming finally said what he meant: "In the past few days, I have taken a look at the movie screening of the [Southern California International Film Awards], and I have an immature suggestion, I wonder if Brother Zhang is interested in listening to it?" ”

"You say ......"

"The shortlisted films in the [Southern California International Film Awards] are only a part of Chinese films, and several films with real artistic content have not yet been shortlisted for ......"

"Huh? For example......"

"Haha, for example, Director Dong's "Red Corn" next to me! I watched this movie, and the artistic component is very high...... The three major European film festivals have been shortlisted for the film level, and it is also the most gold-rich film among the reality films this year, and this "Red Corn" has a lot of fate with Mr. Zhang! Li Qingming smiled brightly.

Dong Chao next to him was also laughing, waving his hand humbly.

"Oh, what's not shallow?" Zhang Sheng asked with a smile.

"Haha, this is a movie invested by your director Xin Xiaoqi and Director Xin, and the producer of this movie is also the work of Xin Xiaoqi and Director Xin, Director Xin didn't tell you this, right?"

"Didn't say ......"

"I'll just say, it's just that this little girl thinks too much, and she doesn't avoid relatives, and she doesn't understand this truth...... Haha, in addition to these movies, I have three other movies here, all of which have been reviewed by me, very high-quality movies, and they are all masterpieces in the five dynasties of China...... If you think it's appropriate, Brother Zhang, you can promote it more......"

"Haha, it will! Yes! After the award is over, I will definitely promote it! ”

"I think we [Southern California International Film Awards] should be given a seat...... What do you think? When he heard Zhang Sheng's words, Li Qingming's eyes condensed slightly, and then narrowed.

"Ah, this, tomorrow is the awards ceremony, this year's shortlisted films have been lined up, this seat ......"

"Yo, Brother Zhang, you're still with me, wouldn't it be nice if you added an extra seat? Add more awards, such as the Grand Jury Prize, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award, such as ...... I think Dong Chao's "Red Corn" movie is high-quality, and it's not too much to give extra treatment......"

"President Li, I think ......" Zhang Sheng's brows became deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Zhang, as one of the initiators of the [Southern California International Film Awards], I can help you say a few words on stage, or I can attend as a special guest to help you stand on the platform more times......" Before Zhang Sheng finished speaking, Li Qingming added another sentence.

Dong Chao next to him hurriedly nodded excitedly and stared at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng was still smiling, claiming that he would think about it.

But deep down, he already knew Li Qingming's intention.

The first is to stop movies, and the second is to see that [Southern California International Film Awards] is becoming more and more authoritative, and I began to want to come over and pick fruits.

"Brother Zhang, you have to open up the pattern, the leaders of the Huaxia Film Association, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, we are all very familiar, if you want to make the [Southern California International Film Awards] a world award in the real sense, the help of our group of people is indispensable...... We, the old people, are also willing to use you as a stepping stone to help you support the scene......"

"I'll make a suggestion to the organizers......"

"What suggestions do you make, you are the organizer, Brother Zhang, these vain things will be avoided......" After hearing that Zhang Sheng had been coping, Li Qingming's expression instantly sank a little, and his smile disappeared immediately.

"I'm the promoter and the organizer, but I don't know about film, and when I did this film award before, I promised Avery . Mr. Tashi, this is the utopia of cinema, which is not disturbed by any external force and only retains the most authentic artistic aesthetic ......"

"How can we be external forces?" Li Qingming's expression suddenly became a little cold.

"Chairman Li, of course you are not an external force...... However, the rules cannot be changed. ”

"Zhang Sheng, you must play false?" Li Qingming took a deep breath, never thought that Zhang Sheng would be so faceless.

"Chairman Lee, this is not a fiction, but this year's registration has ended......"

"Zhang Sheng, do you know this movie award, how many good things I said for you in front of Zhou? If it weren't for me saying good things to Zhou, if it weren't for Zhou's talk to the leaders above about this award, if it weren't for our group of old people helping you push it in the back, your movie awards might not be as popular as they are today...... With one word, we can cancel this award! Li Qingming stared at Zhang Sheng, and there was already a slight threat in his words.

Zhang Sheng stopped smiling, and his face darkened.

"President Li, if you come over to talk about movies, we welcome you, but if you come over and want to use these to suppress me, don't talk in vain, although I am only 24 years old, I am not someone you can suppress with a few words!"

"Okay, it's good, Dong Chao, let's go! Today, we will inform all the directors of the Directors Guild to leave this so-called award...... I see that the directors are gone, who is this award for! When Li Qingming heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.

Dong Chao's face was also gloomy, but he didn't say anything, just followed behind Li Qingming.

Zhang Sheng didn't get up to send it, but stared at the backs of the two.

"Many people in the world are watching this award, and there are also many leaders watching, President Li, I am looking forward to it, you take this group of directors away, I hope that you will bring it now, if you don't bring it, I look down on you!"

“……”

Li Qingming's figure paused.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Sheng picked up the phone.

"Hey!"

"Does Chairman Li Qingming have a place in our award? Okay, then, remove his place and replace it with someone else'......"

"Yes, he won't participate, by the way, tonight, you talk to the director next to Chairman Li Qingming in advance, and you just say that Chairman Li won't let them sit here......"

"Call now!"

"Chairman Lee is afraid that he will not agree? What's not to agree with, he's in my office right now, isn't he, Chairman Lee? ”

“……”

After Zhang Sheng finished the call, he looked at Li Qingming's back with a smile.

Li Qingming's expression suddenly distorted......

(Two shifts today, three shifts tomorrow!) I said it! ）
