Chu Xiaxing didn't expect that the other party would think that she was stronger than Xu Xiancheng. She stared at Song Wenye silently for a moment, trying to distinguish whether he was joking or telling the truth, but in the end she didn't see anything.
Chu Xiaxing picked up the stones on the side of the road and threw them neatly towards the lake. Seeing that the stones splashed layers of ripples on the water, he casually said: "Hey, Mr. Song also learned this routine, and he said some scenes to fool people. , that's not sincere enough."
Although Chu Xiaxing often pulls and steps on Xu Xiancheng, she is very aware of how much effort it takes to compete with him, not even just relying on sweat. Chu Xiaxing may still retain his skills, but if he wants to climb back to his former position, he still needs chance and fate.
A first-class director will use his works to describe the changing era, but she is not born in this era.
This is just like Xu Xiancheng's works have declined in recent years. They can shine in their own era, but now it is a new era. She always laughed at Director Xu's Jiang Lang's talent, but she also understood his cowardice and wavering, and they were all questioning whether they belonged to this era.
Because they were once brilliant, so there are new puzzles.
Even Chu Xiaxing could not guarantee that she would become a god in the new era, this was not the era that gave birth to her.
Song Wenye: "I didn't say anything."
Chu Xiaxing: "Director Xu is a character recorded in film history. He has been in the film industry for decades. I am only a young director in my twenties. You really flatter me..."
Song Wenye asked back, "Does the director's age matter? I'm also considered young in the group, but I don't think I'm inferior."
Chu Xiaxing glanced at him in surprise. She was both angry and funny: "Is this suddenly pulled up?"
Song Wenye usually speaks modestly and conservatively, but now he is sitting by the lake blowing the night breeze, but his whole body seems to be relaxed, not as tense as in the past, and even his words are straightforward.
Song Wenye blinked solemnly, and then said lightly, "Anyway, I've already commented on Director Xu rudely tonight, and it shouldn't matter if I comment on the seniors of the group rudely."
"Actually, when I first joined the group, there was a lot of controversy. Even though Dong Duan had already done his work in advance, he was inevitably discussed by others, especially some elders, such as President Qin you met last time..." Song Wenye never told anyone else He talked about his own experience, but he seemed to be infected by the soothing atmosphere today, and his tone was leisurely and calm, "Even Duan Dong, who arranged for me to come in, thinks that I may not be able to adapt, and should go to a career."
When Chu Xiaxing heard him talk about the past, he hesitated: "Dong Dong is..."
Song Wenye: "The chairman of the group is also my grandfather, but his name is Dong Duan at work."
Chu Xiaxing fell into silence, Duan Dong was Duan Hui's father. Logically, Song Wenye's character should indeed be more in politics, but Duan Hui's reputation in Yanchuan City back then made it difficult for his son to continue on this path.
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows slightly, she speculated about the next plot, and said casually: "Then you decided to prove yourself through hard work, and then you became prosperous in the group, and finally won the appreciation of Duan Dong and the elders?"
Song Wenye is a standard upgrade routine in the group. Isn't this a script to turn the tables against the wind
Song Wenye shook his head: "No, I didn't want to prove myself at the time, I just felt that the group would collapse if I didn't work hard."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
Song Wenye said seriously: "As the manager of such a large group, Dong Duan will make stereotyped judgments on people and preconceived that I can't do it, which really lacks the professionalism of the management post. This reflects the overall temperament of the company, and the team he leads. It's normal to break down."
Chu Xiaxing heard Song Wenye's secret revenge, and said with a smile, "...I think it's normal for Duan Dong to want to clear the door after hearing this."
Chu Xiaxing: You actually commented that your own business would be messed up. Are you afraid that you want to be beaten by your own grandfather
"So I don't think the director's age and qualifications represent everything. The more important thing is whether he is suitable, not whether he is suitable for outsiders." Song Wenye looked straight at Chu Xiaxing, his eyes Ming Che said earnestly, "I may say a lot of casual words in normal times, but the sentence just now is really not a casual one."
It is true that Song Wenye will never have the ability to direct, but he has the ability to screen directors. When he heard Director Xu say "Why do you need to force it?", he actually imitated Chu Xiaxing's tone in his mind. She would probably reply on the spot, "You want to force it", otherwise it would not be her arrogant personality.
At that moment, he realized that he found the most suitable director, not even related to age, qualifications and status, but the kind of artistic vitality from the inside out, just like the splendid sunset in the evening of Yanchuan, stretching out boundless dream colors.
Chu Xiaxing had heard countless praises from others, but it was only after she became famous, and it all belonged to the Chu Xiaxing era, not the Chu Xiaxin era. Even Xie Zhaoyan and others were convinced of her strength after "Blood Sky". Chu Xiaxing was not expected when he first entered the industry.
Occasionally, she is used to not being expected, because there are few female directors in the circle, so she is viewed with tinted glasses; because she was young when she became famous, she was inevitably discussed by her seniors; because she was filming continuously in the labor mode, she was said to go away Quantity does not go with quality, not as fine as Xu Xiancheng.
Of course, after Chu Xiaxing died, these voices would no longer be heard, and the deceased masters would be brought to the altar. This is the habit of the world. The deceased is perfect, and the living can be pointed at will.
This is like Chu Xiaxing can comment on Xu Xiancheng, but when Chu Xiaxing becomes Chu Xiaxin, she will no longer have the power to direct Xu Dao, but will be criticized.
The world only values the reputation carried by the body, and actually doesn't care about her under the body, so she loses interest in understanding, and the so-called understanding is only a label to interpret her skin. Her gender, age, occupation, achievements, fame, status, they study them frantically, and they won't recognize her if she changes her skin.
Xie Zhaoyan and others knew that Chu Xiaxing was Chu Xiaxing, and they fully understood her strength, but Song Wenye didn't know.
Chu Xiaxing has heard too many unexpected voices along the way. Now, when she heard expectations for the first time, she felt a little strange and said, "Do you really think I can do it?"
She did miss Yanchuan, but she knew the concerns of the world, so she never asked Ying, but she didn't expect Song Wenye to speak. She doesn't even know if she can do without her label and fame, but he seems to have firmly determined that he can.
Chu Xiaxing reminded calmly: "Even if you choose me to go to Yanchuan now, it is impossible for others to agree. You can ignore my qualifications, but it does not mean that others will not."
Chu Xiaxing did not naively think that she would be able to take over Yanchuan, which was why she had never spoken.
"That's why I said I have to work hard to live for a few more decades, because I'm afraid that after Director Chu becomes famous, he won't be able to climb high." Song Wenye lowered his eyes and smiled.
He has always been like this. Since he has found the right person, he can afford it.
Others like to be smart and want to do things with the least amount of effort, but he believes he is better than anyone who thinks he is smart.
Chu Xiaxing couldn't help but tease: "I'm so confident, how can I wait for decades? Aren't you afraid of misunderstanding, I'll make you lose money?"
Song Wenye said calmly, "Although Director Chu laughed at me being easy to be deceived, I haven't seen anyone so far."
After Chu Xiaxing heard him make such a promise, she was also infected by the other party's ease. She lowered her head and smiled and said, "Then you really missed it this time..."
Song Wenye was stunned when she heard the words, but she didn't expect that she would evaluate herself as misunderstood. It sounded like she wanted to retreat, and her face was surprised for a while.
In the next second, Chu Xiaxing showed a familiar and conceited smile. She raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly, "To say that it will take decades, who are you looking down on?"
Even if she loses the prestigious label, she can still win it back with strength.
Since the world only values seniority and fame, then she will take it all over again.
She really doesn't care about the applause of the outside world, but when she needs worldly approval to help, she can still get back to the top.
"Mr. Song, take the money at home and wait, I will come to you soon, don't be unable to pay by then." Chu Xia shrugged her shoulders righteously, and even her tone showed a provocation. And joking, it seems that Yanchuan is already in his hands.
Song Wenye looked at her flamboyant smile, he seemed to feel the uncontrollable vitality again, his eyes softened, and he replied, "Okay."
"Then I will wait for the good news, and wait for the director to become famous."
In the evening breeze, the two of them reached a silent agreement tacitly on this lake and moonlit night.
Since Chu Xiaxing was determined to restart Yanchuan Film and Television City, the top priority was to regain fame, at least to prove his strength. Song Wenye might appreciate her directing ability, but most of the other employers are laymen who don't know how to do it, and they only value the director's reputation.
It's like facing President Qin. It's pointless to talk to them about art. You can only persuade them with what they understand, which is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Chu Xiaxing originally didn't care about "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", but now she suddenly reacted, and the easiest way to regain her fame was to defeat the famous. In the past, she could only accumulate slowly by filming, but now the times are different, and variety shows have amazing exposure.
Xie Zhaoyan and Chu Xiaxing met in private, but she cleverly distanced herself on the show and did not show too much affection towards Chu Xiaxing. Xie Zhaoyan soon announced the theme of the second episode, and said gently: "The theme of this episode is also a classic element of Hong Kong films, please directors to shoot short films of police and bandits..."
Huo Xiaogang sighed: "This is Director Gong's strength!"
Gong Zhan is a Hong Kong director. He has made countless police and gangster films, and his output is amazing.
Fan Ke murmured a little: "Wang Toyota's play also seems to have elements of police and bandits?"
All directors have their own reasons for participating in the show. Fan Ke and others are nothing more than promoting new movies. Of course, they will not steal the limelight at other people's stadiums. If Fan Ke came to promote comedy movies, there must be one episode with comedy elements, and it was basically the number of episodes with more scenes for Fan Ke, which was the case for the previous seasons.
However, the theme of the second issue is a bit vague. Xie Zhaoyan's host speech said that it is a classic Hong Kong film, but the movie "Wu Dao" that Chu Xiaxing wants to promote also has elements of police and bandits, which makes it confusing.
"This is Director Gong's loss of face in the last issue, so why do you have to get it back?" After listening to the theme, other directors inevitably had speculation in their hearts, thinking that the program team deliberately pushed Chu and Gong to compare again.
After all, Chu Xiaxing and Gong Zhan competed head-to-head in the remake of "Man Ran". Gong Zhan went all out but unfortunately lost, which is considered to be stepped on by the young director. After the program aired, Chu Xiaxing was famous, but Gong Zhan was inevitably muttered.
In the company, Wang Toyota is also well-informed, and he came back to tip: "I heard that Gong Zhan actually asked Shidi to play, this is determined to get his face back..."
The second phase of the program is supposed to promote "Wu Dao", and Wang Toyota naturally also cares about the outcome of Chu Xiaxing.
Chu Xiaxing: "It doesn't matter, we have Hou Shenyue, isn't it the emperor."
Instead of being appeased, Wang Fengtian became more and more hesitant: "Xiaohou is indeed very popular, but he's close to seeing the emperor, he's not an emperor..."
Wang Toyota has a deep understanding of Hou Shenyue's acting skills. Although young people have made great progress, it is still scary to compare with older actors.
Facing Teacher Wang's concerns, Chu Xiaxing was not good at saying comforting words, so she simply dumped the blame on her niece: "Ning Ning, didn't you say that Hou Shenyue's fan data is good, he should also have some awards, such as what emperor? some type of… "
Chu Xiaxing didn't understand the awards given to young actors, so she naturally kicked the ball to the young Han Chuning.
Facing the sudden question from the two bigwigs, Han Chuning was stunned and at a loss. She racked her brains and couldn't think of the "Emperor" corresponding to Shidi, so she could only bite the bullet and stumbled: "...Brother?"
Han Chuning: Director Gong has the Emperor, and we have a younger brother
Wang Toyota: "..." Why do you feel more worried
