Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 258 End in person
Hou Keming was in a very bad mood.

He took a Venice Film Festival program, which was not the original but printed out from the Internet, and went straight to Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.

"Old Tian, ​​what's going on?"

Hou Keming handed the thing in his hand to Tian Zhuangzhuang and asked, suppressing his anger.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was stunned. His first reaction was that a student in the directing department had caused trouble, causing Old Hou to come and question him.

He took the thing from Hou Keming's hand, took a quick look at it, and was relieved at first, thinking that it was not a student from the directing department who got into trouble. Then, like Old Hou, he became furious.

"asshole!"

Lao Tian slapped the table.

He didn't know the film review published in the program, but he happened to know the person who wrote the review.

At that time, Cao Yang was in his office. Teacher Jiang Shixiong came personally to ask for a small favor. Yes, that special film critic for the show magazine. In the eyes of Lao Tian and Cao Yang, it was just a trivial matter.

Jiang Shixiong's students want to become film critics for the program magazine, probably to get closer to the Venice Film Festival and improve their favorability, while also adding more glorious aspects to their resumes.

It's easy.

Jiang Shixiong is of the same generation as the old Situ. Now that the old lady has spoken, Cao Yang and Lao Tian will definitely not be able to refuse.

So, in front of Jiang Shixiong, Cao Yang did not call Lao Ma directly, but called Luca Pirno.

Luca Pirno is the artistic director of the Venice Film Festival. He is the person second only to the artistic director and was promoted by Lao Ma. He knows the relationship between Cao Yang and Lao Ma.

Regarding such a small matter, Luca Pirno said it was no problem and that he would just send an invitation when the time comes. It was a very simple thing.

When the invitation is sent to the school, just fill in the name of the invitee.

Cao Yang didn't care about such a trivial matter and went on with his work.

Because the invitation was sent to Lao Tian’s office, Lao Tian knew the name of Jiang Shixiong’s student.

After listening to Lao Tian's explanation, Hou Keming became even angrier.

Isn't this a typical case of eating from the bowl and cursing after putting it down?

"Mr. Hou, your status is different now, so it will be difficult for you to handle this matter. Leave it to me." Old Tian thought about it and felt that it would not be good for Old Hou to be involved in this matter. He did not want to be promoted or anything, so it did not matter to him to handle such a matter.

"The identities of farts are different, you can handle farts!"

Lao Hou cursed rudely. It was not that he looked down on Lao Tian. With Lao Tian's current influence, how many people could he mobilize? How many people could he influence?

"Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it myself."

Lao Hou said this and was about to leave, but then he stopped and said to Tian Zhuangzhuang, "There is one more thing. It depends on whether you, the director of the directing department, dare to do it."

"explain."

Old Tian glared and said unhappily.

Damn Old Hou, do you look down on me?
"Director Cao has won the Golden Lion Award again. Our school will definitely put up a banner to celebrate. Director Cao is from your directing department, so you should celebrate even more."

After Lao Hou finished speaking, he glanced at Lao Tian with a bit of contempt.

Old Tian immediately got angry, "Bullshit... Just tell me what you have to say." "Your professor in the directing department..."

Hou Keming paused for a moment, as if the fact that the professor's film won the Golden Lion was not shocking enough. Cao Yang was still a doctoral student, and doctoral students were also students, so he changed the topic:
"Your students from the Directing Department won the Golden Lion Award. This is definitely a great event for the Directing Department. You should put banners on the doors of every teacher and professor to make everyone happy."

After saying that, Hou Keming left on his own.

Old Tian didn’t realize it at first. What’s the point of putting banners on the door of every teacher and professor’s office?
After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that the door that Lao Hou mentioned should not only be the door of the office, but also the door of the family compound?
In this case, as the old leader of the directing department, should Professor Jiang Shixiong also put up a celebratory banner on his door?
Is this... a bit too much?

Jiang Shixiong's students published a film review in the program book, secretly saying that Cao Yang would not win any award and would get a consolation jury award at most.

This is not the Grand Jury Prize. The Grand Jury Prize is the second-ranked award, also known as the Second Best Film.

The Jury Prize is just a consolation prize, it is not long-lasting and has little influence.

The results of it?
Cao Yang not only won another Venice Film Festival Best Actress, but also won the Golden Lion. This was a huge slap in the face.

If I put a congratulatory banner on the door of Teacher Jiang Shixiong, I'm really afraid that Teacher Jiang will be angry to death.

Old Tian is a kind-hearted man, unlike Old Hou who is so cruel. In the end, he decided to hang a banner downstairs of the old professor's family compound.

Lao Hou handled the matter very simply. He personally called some well-known directors from Beijing Film Academy, called alumni from Beijing Film Academy who were doing well in TV stations, and called some well-known alumni who worked in production studios...

Let's reminisce about the past and talk about how our Beijing Film Academy director Cao Yang won the Golden Lion again, and then tell that incident as a joke.

Then, they even spread the word privately that Beijing Film Academy is a school with a tradition of respecting teachers, and it is not worth cooperating with those ungrateful villains who eat from the bowl and curse their mothers when they put it down.

The words that Lao Hou spread privately, such as "it's not worth cooperating with him", seem harmless, but anyone with a little bit of intelligence will understand.

In fact, Lao Hou is still a little radical. With his position, he doesn't need to do many things or say many words personally. As long as he shows some intention, there will be people to help him do it.

However, Lao Hou chose the most radical method, which was somewhat detrimental to his future.

Old Han does it differently.

Mr. Han is still in Venice, and he actually knew about this earlier.

Originally, according to his idea, such people should be put on China Film's blacklist.

Mr. Han is not exaggerating, but in the current domestic film and television industry, China Film is the largest one. As long as China Film puts a director on the blacklist, the director's future will be over.

News of Lao Hou's actions reached Mr. Han.

Mr. Han thought about it and decided that he should respond now instead of waiting until he got back to add people to the blacklist.

The day after Black Swan won the Golden Lion, he was interviewed by domestic media in Venice and said:

“Black Swan received the highest rating and the best reputation in the official Venice Film Festival brochure, so it is well-deserved to win the Golden Lion.

Director Cao Yang is a man of great talent and good character. China Film Group has always spared no effort to fully support great directors like Cao Yang who have both good character and talent."

Then, Mr. Han changed the subject.

"However, for some directors who deceive the world and steal reputation, for some directors who plagiarize the fruits of others' labor, China Film will not cooperate with such directors, nor will it have any cooperation with institutions that cooperate with such directors..."
