Although Xiao Zhao is just an assistant, she has followed Zhang Yuanjun for 10 years, and she is Zhang Yuanjun's right-hand man.

Wen Muye is a poor student who has just graduated, no agent, no assistant, Xiao Zhao can easily find him through the official staff of the film festival.

After Xiao Zhao explained his intentions, Wen Muye was pleasantly surprised, but his face was very calm.

"Don't forget, tomorrow at 10 a.m., it's in the café downstairs."

"I know Sister Zhao, I will definitely come tomorrow." Wen Muye smiled and sent Xiao Zhao out of the door.

Wen Muye's companions saw his overjoyed appearance and asked him, "Who was that person just now?" What's the matter with you? ”

Wen Muye smiled and said, "That's Zhang Yuanjun's assistant, ask me to meet Zhang Yuanjun tomorrow morning." ”

"He's going to vote for you!?"

"Who knows." Wen Muye's mouth grinned to the root of his ears, "I don't have a project in my hand for the time being, what can he vote for me." ”

"People will write scripts themselves, and if they don't like you, they will even solve the script for you." His friends were happy for him.

It's just a meeting, but it's a good start.

Don't look at Wen Muye, he has made a few short films, won several awards, and was selected as the so-called "new force", but he still hasn't won the opportunity to direct feature films, let alone go to theaters.

Zhang Yuanjun has money, books, connections and channels, if the meeting tomorrow can be negotiated, there is really a high probability that he can get a cinema feature film opportunity from him.

Just when Wen Muye and others were still full of joy for tomorrow's meeting, Zhang Yuanjun sat in the theater and watched "Funeral Coffin" for most of it.

Of course, the production is rough, but the highlight of this movie is its structure, and the script is really good.

Many screenwriters and directors in the industry will conceive a Richie-style story in their hearts, but many people can't do it, and multi-line narrative is a great test of the screenwriter's overall grasp ability, not to mention the multi-line parallel crime story, not to mention that the story still takes place in the countryside.

This makes "Heart Labyrinth" even more valuable.

Xiao Zhao came in halfway, of course he didn't understand "Heart Labyrinth".

After the movie ended, Zhang Yuanjun said again: "You go to find the director of this film again and see if you can make an appointment to meet." ”

"You're here to be a promotion ambassador, not a fortune boy."

"Let's go, let's meet and talk about what you're afraid of, such an excellent director, make friends." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"Funeral Coffin" is indeed a surprise work that Zhang Yuanjun saw at the film festival, and I really want to get to know Xin Yukun.

When he returned to the hotel at the end of the day, he also called his wife and told her that he had watched a very surprising movie today.

"Like "Crazy Stone", it is a crime movie with a multi-line narrative. It's a pity that the crew's budget is too small and the production is too rough, otherwise if you invite a few well-known actors and upgrade your photography art, you will definitely be able to go to theaters. Zhang Yuanjun likes "Funeral Coffin" very much.

Zhang Yuanjun rarely praises a movie like this, Liu Yifei's heart itched when he listened to it, Zhang Yuanjun said: "I heard that this director works in the capital, I told him to go back to the capital and show it for you." ”

On the second day, Zhang Yuanjun's first event was the forum of the film festival, and today's theme is: inherent persistence in the great development of the industry.

The purpose of this forum is to discuss the things that film practitioners should keep in the current environment of rapid development of the industry and rising box office.

In fact, as a promotion ambassador, Zhang Yuanjun's work is more of a platform and endorsement, contributing to the promotion of the film festival, and attending specific forum activities, strictly speaking, it is not "promotion" work, and it is almost the same as being a forum host.

But since the film festival official invited Zhang Yuanjun, he would not let him go so easily.

Zhang Yuanjun also vaguely boarded the guest seat of the forum.

The guests attending the forum today are all acquaintances, Fang Bin, general manager of Dadi Cinemas, Jiang Wenli, a famous actor, Yin Hong, a film scholar, and Huo Jianqi, a director.

This guest lineup is very comfortable to watch, there are talents from all walks of life, and they are all very influential figures in the industry.

At the forum, everyone expressed their opinions, fully exchanged views on the current film market, and then returned to the theme.

From the perspective of actors, Zhang Yuanjun and Jiang Wenli both believe that in today's booming market, what actors should stick to is a heart that loves acting.

Zhang Yuanjun explained his point of view: "This sounds a bit false. He broke it himself, and the audience and the media present naturally didn't want to listen to him talk about empty words like "loving performance" and "dedicating himself to art".

He went on to say, "But often the right words are false. I know that many people come to be actors just to make money, because they make a lot of money. ”

That's what the media and the audience want to hear.

"It's actually true that you want to make money, everyone wants to make money." Zhang Yuanjun spoke so realistically, "But I think as an actor, I have made money, should I play a good role for others?" If you don't maintain your love for acting, how can you perform well? Only if you really like acting and treat acting as a career can you act well, and the reward for acting well will naturally be rich.

"I know you may have to say it again, you look at whom, he is a mess of the play, and people make a lot of money. What I want to say is, you see how long such an actor can survive in the market. There is so much hot money in the market, there are always people who make a fortune or suddenly get rich. Zoom in to the entire group of actors, it is still good at the play and respects the performance, so that they can survive. This is something that I think actors should stick to. ”

Some viewers in the audience asked sharp questions: "We all know that Yuanjun became famous as a young man, and your debut was a role like Guihai Yidao, and the second role is Yang Guo." But many actors don't have the opportunity like you, they also love acting at the beginning, but because they don't have the opportunity, they can only take on bad roles and act in bad movies, so it's hard to persevere. ”

Zhang Yuanjun turned the microphone and answered this question: "This question is very good, I want to talk about it well." Actors, including other professions in our industry, directing, cinematographer, screenwriter, artist, etc. I think it can be divided into two professional mentalities, one is work and the other is career.

"What's the difference between the two? If you treat what you're doing as a job, then you clock in and out, clock in and out, and get a fixed pay every month. If you take what you do as a career, you will want to do it well, so that you can deal with it, but can I do better? This mindset is important. Just now, this friend said that many actors don't have a good chance, so they can only act in bad movies, and they can't persevere. Yes, there are indeed many such actors, and there is even no shortage of well-known actors to act in bad movies, but there are always only bad movies, no bad roles, an excellent actor should do it, you are a bad movie, but it can't be bad on my head. I'm going to play my role well and that's enough.

"Some actors are forced to take on plays that they don't want to play because of their livelihood or other reasons. When we receive these scenes, what we can do is to play our roles well, you have to believe in the eyes of the audience, they know that you are acting well, and you must also believe in the eyes of the producers in the industry, they can see that you are acting well. ”

"That's what I'm talking about as an actor's perseverance."

Zhang Yuanjun's speech won the applause of the audience.

It's dirty in the lap, but if you just roll in the mud you will never get ashore, and you have to believe in the light ahead to get things done.

It's also very clean in this circle, because here you can really see people who are persistent in their dreams.
