Gathering at the film festival, there is no one who doesn't love movies.

The whole forum lasted for nearly 2 hours, and various points of view burst out, among which director Huo Jianqi's words were the most infectious, he directly sprayed on the forum, saying: "Now many investors don't know drama at all, and they don't know how to cast, they only know how to blindly chase stars, so they say that they must act, but this person can't act at all." There are a lot of bad movies on the market now, and an important reason is that many of our crews have lost the perseverance I said in the face of investors! I think that whether it is our industry or the policy level, we must find a way to curb this unhealthy trend, the salary of actors is getting higher and higher, but there are fewer and fewer people who can act! ”

"Good!" I don't know who shouted hello in the audience, and the scene burst into warm applause.

The guests attending the forum lacked the CEO of the production company, otherwise they could really have a good chat with Huo Jianqi.

Scholar Yin Hong believes that the film academic community should always adhere to the correct view of film art: "To let the market return to the market and the art to art, the judges of our major film festivals must adhere to the film values of the review...... Of course, we have to try to find that balance between business and art, and I think that's what we academia, or narrower, the major film awards should insist on. ”

After the forum, it was almost noon, and I had already missed the appointment with Wen Muye.

But he didn't expect Wen Muye to be in the audience of the forum, and after the forum exchange, he took the initiative to find Zhang Yuanjun.

"It's almost noon, let's find a place to eat and talk while eating." Zhang Yuanjun hugged Wen Muye's shoulders affectionately, "How many of you are there, call them all." ”

"Not much, plus me, there are four people from the main creator of "Requiem".

"Tell them all to come over, speaking of which, you are all my juniors, and the seniors invite you to dinner." After all, Wen Muye was still a few days older than Zhang Yuanjun, and said to his assistant, "Postpone the interview to the afternoon, and we'll talk about it after dinner." This forum threw out a lot of sharp views, and naturally some reporters talked to Zhang Yuanjun in detail.

"It's my first time here XN, you're familiar with it, you pick a restaurant, let's sit down and talk." Zhang Yuanjun's first impression of Wen Muye was that he didn't have a shelf, such a big star, there was an assistant by his side, and he dressed very casually.

The group casually found a restaurant, asked for a small box, and ate and drank.

It's all from the film school, and of course the relationship starts from the school.

Which one was redecorated, what happened to which teacher, and what gossip there were about the major colleges, after a few minutes of chatting, the relationship between everyone was closer.

"You're 85 years?" Wen Muye didn't believe that Zhang Yuanjun was 85 years old, "Why are you two years higher than me in 85, I have an undergraduate degree in 04." ”

"You studied late when you were a child, and I entered school early, so it's two years away."

"How do I feel that you should be a post-70s generation." Wen Muye's companion smiled, "I watched a lot of your plays, but you turned out to be younger than us." ”

Not only them, but many people inside and outside the circle look at Zhang Yuanjun like this, he has won so many awards and filmed so many scenes, he feels that he should be an old-timer and an old artist, but he is a real 85-year-old born and is only 29 years old this year.

"Our class is generally older, the oldest in our class is 78 years, and I am the second youngest."

"Who's the smallest?"

"Yifei, she is 87 years old and 15 years old when she entered school."

Wen Muye is a graduate student of Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yuanjun asked about Mr. Tian's current situation, Wen Muye said that Mr. Tian is all right, and he is very passionate about teaching students at school.

The group chatted all over the world, and soon talked about professionalism.

Wen Muye said that he had been making short films before and had won some short film awards: "I can't die of hunger, but that's it." "Directing is a very difficult road, and Wen Muye is too far ahead of others to win the short film award.

Zhang Yuanjun asked him: "Is there any work in the future?" ”

"There is a co-directed film, which is a project of this year's film festival, called "City in Love", five units, five directors, and I shoot one of the units."

Zhang Yuanjun knows that this movie, the project promoted by the master class of the film festival, let the five outstanding young directors of the master class each shoot a unit, the producers are Guan Jinpeng, Iwai Shunji and Wei Desheng, and now the actors have not been decided, this project is a very good practice experience for young directors.

Zhang Yuanjun asked him if he had any stories he wanted to shoot, and Wen Muye was very honest and said: "There are many ideas, but they don't make a story, and they all stay at the idea stage." ”

Zhang Yuanjun laughed when he heard it, it seems that Wen Muye doesn't intend to cheat money, if he changes it, he will fool him, even if he only has ideas, he can blow the sky, and he wants Zhang Yuanjun to pay for it.

After everyone had dinner and exchanged contact information, they dispersed.

Zhang Yuanjun is optimistic about Wen Muye, and he didn't directly pay for him to make a movie, nor did he take out a script and smash it for him.

Make friends first, make a good relationship, and when there is a suitable project, the two will naturally cooperate.

For a newcomer like Wen Muye, who doesn't have enough experience accumulation, he will die very ugly if he rashly launches a cinema feature film.

However, the attitude towards Xin Yukun and Zhang Yuanjun is not like this.

In addition to the limited funding and relatively low production level of "Funeral Coffin", in other aspects, Xin Yukun is already very mature, and "Funeral Coffin" shines at this film festival, which is enough to show that he has an excellent grasp of the subject matter.

However, Zhang Yuanjun still has something uneasy about him, "Funeral Coffin" is limited by funds, and it has become what it is now, if Xin Yukun is given enough funds and a professional crew, will he be able to operate? What will the finished film look like?

Zhang Yuanjun will put a question mark on Xin Yukun's ability in his heart.

Xin Yukun is different from Wen Muye, he has his own job in the capital, receives the shooting of advertisements and promotional videos, and has some TV station connections, even if the movie can't be in theaters, he can't starve to death.

However, he still put down the bait: "I'm also very interested in crime suspense, I have a book in my hand, let's go back to the capital and take a look." ”

Xin Yukun didn't show much interest on the spot, and said: "I still want to finish the work of "Funeral Coffin". ”

"What are you going to do after "The Funeral Coffin"?" Zhang Yuanjun mentioned it casually.

"Let's run a few film festivals first, sell copyrights, and see if we can get a little money back." Xin Yukun thought of this for the time being.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "Haven't you thought about going to the theater? ”

Xin Yukun smiled awkwardly: "I haven't thought so far for the time being." "The production of "Funeral Coffin" was too rough, and he didn't have a lot of confidence in going to theaters.

In the end, when the two broke up, Zhang Yuanjun said: "You are busy with the matter of "Funeral Coffin" first, and if you need my help when you return to the capital, please look for me at any time." ”

"Okay, thank you."

"It's fine." Zhang Yuanjun said politely.

Zhang Yuanjun said that he was sincere in helping Xin Yukun, but only he knew if Xin Yukun didn't listen to the truth.
