Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 77 Choking the Lungs

For some reason, Xiao Gangpao came here with the Huayi brothers this time and did not bring Xu Fan.

Moreover, Cao Yang also discovered that when Xiao Gangpao came in, he glanced at Lao Tian unnaturally and seemed very unhappy.

Cao Yang was confused. Lao Tian, ​​I know you want to remake "Spring in a Small Town", but you wouldn't invite Xu Fan first to play the female lead, right?
I know Xu Fan has good acting skills and is easy to train, but you can't...

"Congratulations, Director Cao. You won a Golden Lion at such a young age. That's incredible. Really incredible."

Damn it, Old Tian has pissed you off, why are you showing your teeth to me? Are you trying to mess things up?

Then I thought about the recent media debates and reports, and I thought that might be one of the main reasons.

Actually, think about it, Xu Fan is quite suitable for the heroine of "Spring in a Small Town". As long as Lao Tian also thinks it is suitable, as your junior brother, I will always support you.

"Gangzi is here, welcome. Xu Fan didn't come with you?"

Before Cao Yang could demonstrate his language skills, Lao Tian started talking beside him.

Old Tian, ​​you are really amazing. After winning the Golden Lion, you have become so arrogant recently. Are you trying to choke me? How can you do this?
"Hehe, maybe she saw something unclean recently and felt disgusted. She's a little uncomfortable."

The little cannon said with a wry smile.

"Director Feng, stop joking. How can she be disgusted?"

Cao Yang smiled and shook Little Cannon's hand, saying a little uncomfortably, "Director Feng, there is something I need to clarify. Don't listen to what the media says. It's all nonsense that there are three and a half great directors in the mainland now. In my heart, you will always be a senior who deserves respect."

Little Gangpao chuckled twice, and without waiting for the two Huayi brothers who were about to greet Cao Yang, he walked straight to his seat without looking back.

The two Hua Yi brothers didn't talk much. They stepped aside and introduced Shuang Bing, who followed them, to Cao Yang.

Fat Bing took the initiative to shake Cao Yang's hand, and introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Director Cao, I have heard of your name for a long time. I have always wanted to meet our country's youngest great director, but I never had the chance. This time I finally got my wish. Director Cao, if you have any instructions, please call me. I will be there at your beck and call."

Shou Bing was overtaken, and no matter how unhappy she was, she still shook hands and greeted Cao Yang with a smile on her face. In fact, the meaning was almost the same: she wanted to be in Cao Yang's play and hoped to have a chance to work with him.

After everyone left, Cao Yang nudged Lao Tian with his elbow and said, "What's wrong with you? It seems to me that Little Cannon is very upset with you. He is acting weird."

"Well, that person is just superficial. He didn't know how to seize the opportunity given to him."

Old Tian curled his lips, "Am I not preparing for Spring in a Small Town? Xu Fan is quite suitable for the female lead in terms of age and acting skills. We are all acquaintances, so I was thinking about whether I could promote her. Who knows what Gangzi is thinking? It seems that he is a little ungrateful."

"Brother, you don't want to..."

"What are you thinking? Don't talk nonsense. I'm a teacher now. I must set an example for the students in the directing department. How can I still do whatever I want? Alas, you all misunderstood me."

Cao Yang expressed his doubts and thought, it would be better if you didn't mention the directing department, it would be easier for people to believe it.

Directing Department?
Bah, what bad feng shui!

When the time came, Cao Yang brought the main creators to the stage first, with a fixed process, fixed script, fixed questions, and fixed answers.

After everyone finished watching the movie, Cao Yang could clearly feel the changes between the fourth and fifth generation directors. Everyone had a complicated expression and praised the film for its profoundness, good use of camera language, and great progress...

After reading it, Xiao Gangpao had only one thought in his mind: "Fuck..."

Xiao Wang touched the little cannon and asked in a low voice: "Suspense film?"

"Suspense you bastard!"

Of course, Xiao Gangpao only dared to curse in his heart. Although he was a big mouth, he knew different people. Xiao Wang could only curse secretly behind their backs, not in front of them. He was not stupid.

"No, that's the fucking way art films are. They just keep you guessing and trying to interpret things, without caring about the audience's life or death... The only good thing about this movie is that the language used in the film is fucking passable."

Xiao Gangpao suppressed his dissatisfaction and explained briefly. "Yu Feihong... when did she become so good at acting?" Xiao Wang muttered again.

Little Cannon is still wondering, if you don’t fucking know, how the fuck should I know!
This crappy movie, damn Old Tian, ​​is so lucky, and there is also a crappy producer, fuck!
Bullshit golden lion, what a crap hook eight thing, it acts so rare.

"Director Feng..."

Pang Bing habitually takes Xiao Gangpao's arm. She finds that this trick works particularly well on men. As long as she takes his arm, says some compliments, and acts a little coquettishly, and preferably rubs him unintentionally, men will be confused most of the time.

The little cannon glared at me and glared at me hard, "You bastard... don't fucking bother me, I'm annoyed."

The next question that Pang Bing wanted to ask was held back.

What's wrong with Director Feng? He must be jealous.

Fat Bing came to a conclusion in his mind.

With the bonus of the Golden Lion and Yu Feihong's Venice Film Festival Best Actress award, "Empty Room" is very popular and its box office performance is much better than "A Night Alone on the Beach".

Cao Yang originally planned to take only Yu Feihong and Liu Ye to travel around Shanghai and Nanjing, but unexpectedly, Wu Qihua and Liao Qizhi from Hong Kong took the initiative to find Cao Yang, hoping to participate in the tour premiere activities and do their part for the movie.

Even Chen Kun and Fu Dalong, who had few roles in the film, expressed their desire to contribute to the film.

Yang Zhigang and Zhou Yiwei also want to attend the premiere event. The Golden Lion movie will definitely get enough exposure, and they can also please the Golden Lion director.

Unfortunately, they had too few scenes and did not dare to go directly to Cao Yang. After all, their identities were different, so they set their sights on Wang Jinsong.

Wang Jinsong is a teacher in the acting department and also has a role in the movie. It would be a good excuse for him to tell Cao Yang that he wanted his students to broaden their horizons.

Dong Xuan, Che Xiao and Wen Zhengrong didn't have so many concerns. Relying on the fact that they were girls, they called Cao Yang directly and took the opportunity to get closer to him.

Therefore, these natural advantages of girls are unmatched by men.

So, the group set off in a mighty procession.

The box office this time was somewhat unexpected. In Beijing alone, the box office on the premiere day was over 50, and it reached 180 million over the three-day holiday. The box office in five days was 290 million, and 420 million in the first week.

Due to the full audience capacity and too many screenings, the original first-round theaters such as Capital Theater, Dahua Theater, Youth Palace and other major theaters have applied to extend their schedules.

However, since the second-run theaters were still waiting for the film to be screened, they had to urgently transfer copies from other places, which caused complaints from other theaters in other provinces.

Originally, China Film Group expected the box office of Beijing to be around 700 million, but now it has been directly increased to around 900 million.

Although the movie was not as popular in Shanghai and Guangdong as in Beijing, it also met expectations.

For this purpose, President Han made a special phone call to Cao Yang, firstly to announce the good news and secondly to show goodwill and win him over.

For such a young Golden Lion-winning director, the box office is still quite good, so it is not an exaggeration to praise it in any way.

Finally, Mr. Han told Cao Yang that the box office in mainland China is expected to be between 3200 million and 3400 million, which is definitely worth looking forward to.

Sister Feihong has a strong personality. She was very excited to know that the box office would surpass Li Xiaoran's "A Night Alone on the Beach".

You are the winner of the Berlin Film Festival and I am the winner of the Venice Film Festival, so we are even. At least my acting skills are not worse than yours.

But now my box office is about to surpass yours, I am still better.

The female knight rode her horse majestically and whipped it...but finally fell off the horse unwillingly.

　Thanks to "A Busy Day" for the reward, and thanks to all the brothers for the monthly tickets and recommendations. Thank you! Today I will update twice. I need to save some manuscripts in case of emergency. Brothers, please understand. Thank you all again!
