At 10 a.m. on April 30, 2010, the sun was shining in the Yanjing area, and the spring breeze was warm.

There is a building next to the main gate of Huaxia University of Communication and Communication, which is the office building of "Contemporary Film".

At this time, in the conference room of the building, Li Shengyao and Liu Xuezhou, the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Film", sat opposite each other.

Liu Xuezhou is forty-five years old this year, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, slightly fat, but his overall temperament is good, and he looks like a cultural person.

Lao Liu got up and poured tea for Li Shengyao, "Director Li, taste it, this is the tea from my hometown, it is not as good as those famous teas, but it has a different taste, it is very fresh and sweet." ”

"Editor-in-Chief Liu is polite, I don't know much about tea, as long as it's new tea, I can do it."

Li Shengyao then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When the tea entered the throat, I really felt a fresh sweetness, like an electric shock, which instantly spread all over the body, and the whole person was much more energetic.

"This tea is good, good tea."

Liu Xuezhou's face was happy, "It's good if you like it, I'm afraid you don't like it." ”

Naturally, there are film-related magazines in the mainland, such as "World Cinema", "Universal Screen", "Chinese Film Market", "Journal of Yenching Film Academy" and so on.

Among them, the best-selling is "Watching Movies", and the most upright is "Contemporary Films".

Other film magazines may have been run by the government at first, but have since branched out, and most of them are privately owned.

"Contemporary Film" is co-sponsored by the Huaxia Film Art Research Center and Huaxia University of Communication and Communication, and is supervised by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

It can be said that the roots are red seedlings and have a very important position in the mainland film circle.

Not only some film analysis, but also the country's film and television development direction policy, often published in "Contemporary Film".

However, although "Contemporary Cinema" has a special status, its sales have been tepid.

Of course, the leadership was under pressure, and they wanted to expand their influence, so they approached Li Shengyao.

This time, Li Shengyao's essay on the industrialization of Chinese films was almost all published in several film magazines in the mainland.

"Contemporary Cinema" did not receive the exclusive distribution rights for this paper.

However, the leadership, led by Liu Xuezhou, saw the potential of Li Shengyao's theoretical knowledge.

If Lee Shengyao can publish a paper on film industrialization today, will he be able to publish other film professional papers tomorrow?

If Lee Shengyao can become a contributing writer for "Contemporary Film", then "Contemporary Film" can be said to have a trump card.

Liu Xuezhou pondered for a moment, and then said: "Director Li, your past movies, whether it is "Punch, Dad", "Hurricane Rescue", and "Border Killer" are very valuable for research, and our "Contemporary Film" will do a series of articles to explore the core spirit of these movies. ”

These words sound high-end, but in fact, they want to shoot Li Dadao's sycophants, and they want to blow the movies directed by Li Shengyao.

"Thank you Editor-in-Chief Liu for your attention."

Liu Xuezhou followed: "There is also this argument about the industrialization of Chinese films, we agree that it is very reasonable, this time "Contemporary Film" must be on your side, and we will support you 100% with all our might." ”

As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular.

No matter what time it is, there are always some people who are against it.

Just like the paper published by Lee Shengyao, some people still think that it is impossible to succeed, some people think it is unnecessary, and some people feel that it is full of mistakes.

Although there are few such people, there are still them.

"Contemporary Film" is willing to stand on Li Shengyao's side, which is naturally a good thing.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you Editor-in-Chief Liu for your recognition." ”

"One more thing, we think that Sun Li, Brother Hu, Wang Kai and other actors are very good, and we will recently publish a series of reports related to Fenghua artists to promote these excellent actors."

Liu Xuezhou has always said good things, there must be a reason.

Li Shengyao listened with a smile, waiting for Liu Xuezhou to say his final purpose.

"Director Li, we recognize you and Fenghua very much, we hope to cooperate with you further, and the magazine hopes that you can become our special writer."

"Of course, you don't need to give manuscripts often, you can give one article in three or five years, we just want to share your film knowledge and experience."

Liu Xuezhou's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to bind "Contemporary Film" to Li Shengyao.

For this matter, Li Shengyao naturally will not refuse.

If he has some ideas to promote Chinese films, he would like more media to publish them and more people can see them.

In particular, "Contemporary Cinema" has a special status, and this magazine often represents the official attitude.

Publishing articles here has a special significance, and other filmmakers are easy to associate more.

But he thought about it and planned to attach a condition.

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, I am very honored to have a more in-depth cooperation with Contemporary Film, and I am willing to become this special writer."

"Good, good, good."

Liu Xuezhou then arranged for someone to come over and take a photo of Li Shengyao and him, and he planned to put it on the official website of "Contemporary Film" to announce the news that Li Shengyao had become a special writer.

Li Shengyao has been cooperating with Liu Xuezhou until after the group photo, he whispered: "Editor-in-Chief Liu, this time I invited 30 students of Chinese opera to the set to record the mistakes during the filming period, I think this matter is very meaningful, it can remind the latecomers, can make our film production more standardized, less detours, "Contemporary Film" can vacate a small page to record these mistakes? ”

Liu Xuezhou paused slightly, and then showed a smile, "This is a big deal, of course we are willing to cooperate, "Contemporary Film" can be made into a series, so that more film and television workers can see these mistakes, avoid mistakes, or correct mistakes." ”

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Liu."

"Director Li, I'm outside."

Liu Xuezhou thought for a while, and then said: "This series wants to give you a signature, so that more people know your contributions." ”

"You don't need to do that, just sign those students when the time comes, and I'm sure they'll be even more excited when they see Contemporary Cinema publish their article."

Liu Xuezhou glanced at Li Shengyao in puzzlement, and saw that Director Li really didn't care, so he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

He is the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Film", so he naturally has an organization, and he can be regarded as a career person.

He is still very sensitive to such things.

Director Li doesn't need extra fame, but it doesn't matter.

Liu Xuezhou quickly figured this out, looked at Li Shengyao's eyes, and appreciated it a little more.

"Director Li, I'm looking forward to your new movie."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it myself."

"Border Killer" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Las Palmas International Film Festival, giving Lee some extra motivation.

In the next movie, he hopes to win awards while having a bumper box office reputation.

However, before preparing for the new movie, he still needs to spend some time preparing for the launch of Fenghua Video.
