Chapter 65: The Spring Breeze Once
When entering the auditorium, Chen Yiwen was separated from the group of relatives and friends, because he was the winner, he had to sit in the front row, and Yan Man, as the instructor, could accompany him, and the others were in the back audience, but fortunately, the people brought by Chen Yiwen could be arranged to sit in the nearest B area near the guest A area, which was generally given to the family and friend group.
Chen Yiwen and Yan Man went to the front, and because it was the first prize, they were arranged in the first row.
It can be seen that Yan Man may have been a front-row guest in the business academy, and the occasions she has participated in are not as large as the scale here at Qingdao University, so it is the first time to participate in an award ceremony of this scale as a first-row guest today.
Although there are many people pouring into the auditorium today, they already have a lot of similar experience, guiding, diverting, maintaining order, and being in good order, so that Yan Man can't help but sigh, "The students of Qingdao University are really amazing!"
After all, it is a national C10 university, and he is in the away game, and he usually hears a lot of the name of Qingdao University in the Business Academy, Yan Man is still a little timid when he looks at this scene, and the students of Qingdao University also have a bit of aura.
It is also her dream to think about being a counselor, and she also wanted to enter Qingdao University when she was a counselor, but it was actually difficult, and she had a heavy workload at hand, which became a knot and expectation. When I chose to stay in the big city, I was also looking for a glimmer of opportunity in my career and life, but now it seems that my ambition is almost worn out in my ordinary life day after day.
But he looked at Chen Yiwen next to him, and thought about it, what if it wasn't Qingda, Chen Yiwen overwhelmed these high-achieving students of Qingda and won the first place in this competition, although they are from the School of Commerce, but at this time they are also full of halos!
Chen Yiwen saw that Yan Man was full of temperament before he came, but after sitting down, he was actually a little like sitting on pins and needles, looking around everywhere, and he was nervous at first glance. Chen said as soon as he heard this, "Teacher Yan, as the instructor of my art team, this kind of scene will be a small case in the future, and some will be a bigger stage!"
Seeing Chen Yiwen's smile and groaning, Yan Man knew that the appearance of his little daughter-in-law entering the city was seen by him, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, thinking that although he came here to stain his light, he was also his teacher in terms of momentum, how could he be pressed down by him, so he shook the mobile phone that took pictures, frowned and said, "Don't talk like this." Down-to-earth, one step at a time, this is just a little achievement, and the tail is up to the sky?"
Before the words were finished, there was a crowd in the auditorium, and the people of the competition expert group arrived, of course, who usually cares who your experts are, but the name Liu Qirong, in the impression of the Chinese people, is indeed not unfamiliar at all. Although this wrist is now under criticism, and it is not as good as in his previous heyday, his name has always been unavoidable in the domestic industry, and it is also the impression that most people can't avoid.
Seeing Liu Qirong, accompanied by municipal leaders, there was a surge on the spot.
Liu Qirong faced the enthusiastic teachers and students in the auditorium and bowed his hand, and then greeted many enthusiastic greetings and shouts at him, this process lasted for several minutes, Liu Qirong was invited to the center of the first row under the affectionate pat of the city leaders on the shoulder, and then a group of people sat down on seniority, Yan Man involuntarily shrank to the side, and when she saw Chen Yiwen beside her, she suppressed the urge to leave directly from the first row and sit in the back row.
In the process just now, Liu Qirong's eyes cruised past his direction several times, and he should have seen him, but he didn't nod or say hello.
Now Liu Qirong is still wearing a suit, so he doesn't have the uninhibited appearance of seeing him stepping on slippers before, but no one can ignore his aura.
Chen Yiwen originally thought that he still had time to communicate with Liu Qirong today, but looking at the current situation, it was obvious that he couldn't talk to him in private.
Over there, the city leaders and Liu Qirong sat in the middle of the front row, bowing their heads from time to time to exchange something, and next to them was a vice president of Qingdao University. According to the general situation, even if it is Liu Qirong, in fact, there is no need for Qingda and Qingshan City to dispatch leaders of this level. But this is the role of influence, after all, Liu Qirong is a director who has won foreign awards on behalf of the Chinese people, and the films that were once made were empty of thousands of people, many of the high-level people present today came from that era, and they naturally have feelings for Liu Qirong, and even have some talk to their parents and elders in the future.
It's just that this kind of scene response is very skillful for Liu Qirong, but his mind is not here at all, in the final analysis, it is the things that affect the mood of the group's resources.
On top of this, the industry is also being impacted by a general trend, the macroeconomic recession over the years, it seems that it has also affected the domestic film market, this year an authoritative survey was released, the number of moviegoers in the first ten months decreased by 100 million compared with the same period last year, the number of people entering the theater has decreased, and the industry is declining, which is a visible thing. At the root of it, there are the impact of imported blockbusters, the serious homogenization of domestic films, and the fact that people's appetites are nourished.
Of course, the industry in the past has also had ups and downs, with bottoms and peaks, but when the next inflection point will come, no one knows, and how long is the artistic life of a creator, this is linked to the box office, he has already suffered a Waterloo, if it weren't for Wang Xiangchuan supporting him behind his back, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get up again.
And now in the case of the impact of the industry, it is even more important to release it in the prime time, he missed the best stall of the domestic protection month in February, although there has always been a saying that "there is no bad schedule, only bad films", but the actual investigation will know that almost all domestic high-grossing movies come from the holiday schedule. And the high-grossing movies of the ceiling are in prime time, no exceptions.
It's like he and Zhao Beihai, directors of the same level, the same masterpieces, are not in prime time, and the result may be worlds apart.
And now domestic films, even if they are first-line directors, once there is no blessing of the prime time, the box office is almost bleak. At other times, it will not be the month of domestic film protection, and imported blockbusters will also come to get a piece of the pie.
So the competition is over, this award ceremony is just a formality, Liu Qirong copes with the scene, his heart is the battle between heaven and man, and he is in the fear of the future and the emptiness that cannot be resolved.
At this time, I remembered the so-called "master" in Chen Yiwen's mouth, which is like a person in a desperate situation, telling you that there may be a path that allows you to see a glimmer of hope from the thorns, and he still has some thoughts in the end.
Liu Qirong turned on his mobile phone, he has a lot of communication, and there will be messages on his mobile phone from time to time, and everyone around him is not surprised, and these leaders are also aware of current affairs, when he looks down at his mobile phone, if it is not necessary, he will not bother.
As soon as Chen heard the phone vibrating, he unlocked it and turned on the screen, and saw that a WeChat message came in.
"What do you say, a netizen master?"
Chen Yiwen turned his head and glanced at Liu Qirong, and saw Liu Qirong holding the mobile phone with the back of his right hand supporting his left elbow, talking to a leader next to him, smiling and looking at the curtain in front of him.
Chen Yiwen looked at Yan Man again, Yan Man was looking at the winners and groups who came in, but he didn't pay attention to who Chen Yiwen was chatting with.
Chen Yiwen lowered his head and typed in response: "I replied to me last night, and I was thinking about meeting you today." ”
"Oh? really replied? What did you say?" Over there, Liu Qirong didn't look at the curtain again, but looked down at his phone.
The master said three things. First, the market is not fixed. Second, the market can be shaped. Third, the people can be guided. ”
Looking at Chen Yiwen's article, Liu Qirong frowned slightly, "...... What does that mean?"
That said, February may not be the best time to do so. Your new film is about the short story of the family, your style is bright and bright, and in the end it is a happy ending. The master said that it could be released just before the Spring Festival. Invest a lot of resources in publicity, and the beautiful name is called: New Year's film!"
In this time and space, Chen Yiwen searched and explored before, and it is certain that there is no such thing as a Chinese New Year film.
Let's not talk about the decline of the domestic film market, the Chinese people in this time and space have a stronger sense of belonging to the family concept and the Spring Festival, thinking that they should stay at home at this time, and push forward for five years. The back is probably that the domestic market is indeed in a downturn, and the theater can't bear it, and the Spring Festival holiday is also open. However, the effect is lacking, and no blockbuster will choose to carry the habits of the Chinese people at this time and challenge people's perception of the Spring Festival.
Therefore, the films released are some second- and third-tier films, which are generally in a hurry to produce and the quality of the movies is poor, so the results can also be expected, and the ordinary box office seems to show that people are not willing to leave home to go to the cinema during the Spring Festival to watch movies.
At this time, it is the freezing point of the film industry, and any film company and any big director will try their best to avoid it.
And now, someone told him to create a so-called "Chinese New Year film".
Liu Qirong's eyes narrowed, obviously he didn't deny it at the first time, but had a feeling of empowerment in his heart.
He sent a text message quickly, "That master, is there a way to ask him to talk to me in person?"
