Early morning on the 3rd.
"Kiss?"
"mua~" After smacking her husband's mouth hard, Yang Mi waved her hand: "Go ahead, go back early."
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded, kissed the two babies in his arms, put them down, and pushed the box out of the door.
This time he went directly from Xi'an to Shantou, which conservatively estimated would take a week. Got in the commercial car and went straight to the airport.
"I will spend my whole life to support you~"
"...What a crappy song, who sung it? It's so ugly. Replace it with Jay Chou's song." He was checking his cell phone in the car and said speechlessly when he heard the mosquito-like sound.
"Uh...Brother Xu, this is "The Offering of Love", the theme song of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" sung by Sister Baby."
"Then change it, it's not as good as your sister's singing." Xu Xin complained, urging her to change the song quickly.
Otherwise, she will be deducted two hundred! Seeing this, Su Meng quickly unplugged the aux cable connected to her mobile phone and switched it to CD playback.
While waiting for the tape to be read, she asked curiously: "Brother Xu, can Sister Mi sing? I've never heard of it. Does it sound good?"
"It's as ugly as what Yang Ying sang."
"..." Su Meng was speechless. But Xu Xin was telling the truth. According to Jay Chou's words, you two must not engage in cross-border amphibious activities.
People will die. Xu Xin himself sings with a clear focus on his heart but not on his heart. No matter what song he sings, he always roars with his voice.
And the same goes for Yang Mi... the sound of her singing is very special
"folder". Like a vise. That little milky sound makes people get goosebumps. It's better to sing with a microphone, but I'm afraid she'll sing it in the shower.
You listen to the movement through the door... People who don't know think her husband is bad. As for Xu Xin...even Wang Sicong is better than him.
For this reason, the eldest young master even laughed at him several times. What
"With your voice, you still have the nerve to go to KTV every day?",
"How dare you take a microphone when you sing so poorly? Go home and raise pigs." Words like this kept coming.
Xu Xin didn't bother to talk to him at first. It can be seen that he had developed a sense of superiority, so he asked in front of several people: "You go to the nightclub just to sing?" After asking this question, he threw a question to the other party.
After the disgusting look of "You are so low-end", the topic ended completely with the brothers. Or maybe Lao Xu knows how to play.
that is. Who goes to a nightclub to sing seriously? If you really want to sing...it can only mean that you are still too young.
The per capita consumption starts at 3 to 500 yuan, but you still have to pick a good-looking place before you go to do things like singing for 60 yuan for an afternoon and eating melon seeds for free... What's that if not taking advantage of someone?
... I left relatively early today, and it was only ten o'clock when I arrived in Xi'an. Walking all the way to Xiying Studio, he used his mobile phone to browse news in the entertainment sector.
Sure enough, after the Cannes list was announced, "Thirty-day Love" entered the media's attention.
After all, it is the only Chinese-language film in Cannes this year, and it is still very popular. Especially neither Xu Xin nor Chen Kexin are unknown people.
Being in Cannes is not something to write home about, but words of praise and praise are still indispensable.
It's just that...most people praise Chen Kexin. There are many people who say that they have exhausted their talents. It's quite baffling.
Xu Xin didn't know how this group of people dared to act like this. My own "Hawthorn Tree" is still hanging on the crooked neck tree in the back mountain. The bones are not yet cold. It has only been two months and it has been forgotten?
After going in with some curiosity, I discovered that it was actually the plot of "33 Days". Fine. He was speechless and continued to read a few more pages.
It can only be said that these news are very consistent with NetEase's style. For example, a Korean boy band named TVXQ came to China to hold a performance. A large number of fans crowded into the Shanghai Airport, causing traffic jams. NetEase writers here called it
"The streets are deserted",
"Korean Wave Conquers the Magic City"... Another example is the comparison of a certain actress before and after plastic surgery. It is obviously not an exaggeration, but it was labeled
The shocking title of "Plastic Surgery Failed"... Finally, he posted it on Weibo. It's a habit for him to scroll through Weibo. It's quite convenient for him to scroll through Weibo for a while in the car or when he's bored to catch up on the news.
Moreover, he only has a small account on his mobile phone, and he is purely a spectator. He basically just likes and never comments.
After entering the Weibo interface, I was about to search for news about Cannes when I suddenly saw a push on the popular Weibo.
#exposure! Liu Zhishi wants to terminate the contract with the Tang Dynasty! #This message was published an hour ago and has received more than 3,000 comments, 15,000 likes, and hundreds of thousands of views.
The content is that this person got news from inside the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zhishi wanted to peacefully terminate the contract with the Tang Dynasty, but was rejected by the Tang Dynasty. The two parties may have to embark on judicial proceedings.
After reading the Weibo, he thought about it and directly added the Weibo to Yang Mi's trumpet account. WeChat notified the other party: "Shishi's matter has been posted on Weibo." Yang Mi replied quickly: "Are you here?"
"Well, we've all entered the city. We'll be there in a minute."
"Okay, I've just seen the news, and it spread quite quickly. Tangren rejected Shishi's offer and refused to terminate the contract. Shishi told me that she would have to go through judicial procedures. It is estimated that it will be within one million at most. It'll be done. You don't have to worry, I'm here."
"Okay." The two ended their chat. Xu Xin no longer paid attention to this matter, but picked out some fair and objective news bloggers that he followed. After reading today's news, he turned off his phone.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, his thoughts were slightly distracted. What my wife said at the end is particularly true.
The news is indeed spreading faster and faster now. The previous generation's way of getting news was through newspapers and television. The fastest way is to know what happened yesterday today.
In his generation, the Internet began to rise. According to the textbook,
"The Internet has established a diversified information highway around the world." Everyone's habits have gradually changed from television or print media to portals.
Get the news you want from the portal. Fast is fast, but there is still a certain reaction time.
Since the emergence of Weibo, this highway seems to have lifted the 120 speed limit.
The speed of news spreading is almost measured in minutes. The speed is dizzying. Just like the Shishi incident, it probably took less than an hour when it happened in Tangren Company.
The next moment it had spread throughout the country. This kind of timeliness is really terrible. Sometimes it makes his scalp tingle.
There is an old saying called
“Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.” The world itself is full of injustice to good people. To give the most realistic example, if a person does a hundred good things, then as long as he does one bad thing, his true colors are revealed.
But when a person does a hundred bad things and does a good thing in 101, it is called the prodigal son turning back.
He didn't know if he was magnifying the dark side of human nature. But his understanding of this entertainment industry...many things in it are actually ridiculous that outsiders can't imagine and accept.
Then here comes the problem. A circle that is glamorous on the outside but not really beautiful on the inside, coupled with this era of information explosion that can no longer be called a highway, but can be said to be at quantum leap speed...
"Speaking with facts" seems to have become an out-of-reach word. For example, there are nearly 1,750 feature films of more than one hour in length and nearly 1,600 short films of less than one hour in Cannes this year.
There are more than 3,000 films in total, but only 49 films were shortlisted. And I am one of these 49 movies.
Not to mention anything else, China will submit nearly a hundred movies to Cannes every year, or even more than this number, but these movies have all disappeared, and there is no news at all.
I was clearly shortlisted, but in the eyes of the media, I became
"The talent is exhausted." I don’t know when it started, but it seems that if the news doesn’t have a breaking point or a gimmick, it won’t attract viewers to click and browse.
And the resulting news results are habitually exaggerated. This can easily mislead others. Good things are easily misinterpreted, and bad things are easily magnified.
On board the high-speed express train of communication... and the increasingly high-definition cameras of mobile phones. For no reason, he had a premonition.
From now on, I am afraid that every word and action of public figures will be scrutinized with a magnifying glass. When he thought of this, his divergent thinking inevitably made him think about the future.
Su Meng drove all the way to Xiying Studio. When the cheerful Qi Lei saw him who was worried, he was stunned: "What happened?" His heart suddenly lifted.
Xu Xin sat on a chair and asked him: "Brother Qi, do you have a feeling that the news is becoming more and more timely now?" Qi Lei was stunned.
What does your heart mean when you say this? He can understand the words and recognize the words. But Lian Cheng didn't know what Xu Xin wanted to express.
Seeing this, Xu Xin said all the things and thoughts that he had just thought about in the car through the news: "...I was just thinking, look..."33 Days" just didn't get shortlisted for the main competition or a category. , I was said to be useless by the media. What if one day I suddenly... hit the street? Think about what the media would say?" Understanding his thoughts, Qi Lei subconsciously comforted him: "No, You don't have to worry about these things at your level..." Before he could finish his words, Xu Xin said: "Xu Xin made Xiying Film Studio collapse."
"..." Qi Lei's mouth twitched. But it's not over yet.
"Xiying Studio has destroyed Xu Xin's spirituality."
"..."
"Xiying Studio + Xu Xin = disaster."
"Well……"
"Also, our current goal is not to disintegrate the Beijing Circle, but to play our own game. If the market becomes bigger and bigger and the Northwest Circle gets better and better, then no matter what happens, it will be inevitable for people to look like others. A few mouse droppings were mixed into a pot of soup. When the time comes..." At this point, Xu Xin's back was like grasping something, and he moved it in front of him: "The northwest circle hides filth and people and people, it's entertainment. The biggest moth in the circle!"
"..." Under Qi Lei's frown, Xu Xin shrugged: "Do you think it's scary?" As the future successor of Xiying Studio, Qi Lei is naturally not stupid.
He understood that what Xu Xin said was not just to please the media in today's world where the speed of information dissemination is exploding.
This truth cannot be explained with such an exaggerated narrative technique. He must have other intentions. So he lit a cigarette.
After half a cigarette, he said to the pensive Xu Xin: "We cannot slow down the pace of growth. Once we stagnate, then these people who were originally just outsiders will not hesitate to re-enter the embrace of the Beijing circle. .If it can’t bring benefits to other people, so-called loyalty is equivalent to shit.”
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded: "So this is also my dilemma."
"And what's even more difficult is that whoever pulls off some of the gray fig leaves in this circle will die badly. Even if we are doing it, we will end up being attacked by a group of people." Obviously, Xu was After Xin Qi inspired him, Qi Lei also understood what he wanted to express.
And what he said was simple. This circle cannot and does not deserve heroes. any attempt to be
"The commanding heights",
Saints who are "moral benchmarks" will be mercilessly excluded and suppressed. to be honest. Why do people say that actors are heartless and bitches without intention, and call Li Yuanxing a low-class actor?
This is why. You can be great and outstanding in this circle. But you want everyone to follow you to greatness?
Who are you? This is the common understanding of Qi Lei and Xu Xin. However, Qi Lei understood this truth through a little bit of study, practice, and experience after working in the factory.
Xu Xin realized it early through the old man's side education and some innate sensitivity during the Olympics.
"I think... we are just getting started now, and it is the time to recruit talented people. The so-called heroes do not ask where they come from, even if they occasionally attract a few mouse droppings, there is nothing we can do about it. Moreover, we cannot require everyone to be Saint, that’s not realistic.”
"But spiritual construction is definitely needed." Faced with Qi Lei's helpless words, Xu Xin shook his head slightly: "I also know that it is unrealistic. This is like asking everyone to be selfless. But my meaning is very simple... ...Brother Qi, haven’t you noticed that in the current industry, only state-owned enterprises seem to propose and learn from the spirit of advanced figures? Moreover, even in our factory, the people who go to learn every year are all employees, not artists. .”
"..." Qi Lei was stunned. Immediately afterwards, he fell into deep thought following Xu Xin's words. He knew that Xu Xin's words were definitely not simple lies.
There must be your own thoughts in it. Both he and Mr. Tian actually understood that this young man... had a sense of smell and sensitivity far beyond ordinary people in certain matters.
Even many old fritters are not as good as him. He was not born to be a director, but should have taken another path.
And the West Film Studio is not some bloated platform that makes it difficult to move even a single step. These people disappeared as early as the most lonely decade of Xiying Studio.
Shaanxi people control Shaanxi is not an empty talk, but the unity and cohesion of this generation of Shaanxi people to bring this film dream factory back to its peak.
What Xu Xin proposed today is a fundamental structural adjustment. It's definitely not a child's play. Even if it can't be said that everything has been thought through yet, at the very least, everyone must have a general direction in mind.
So he thought deeply and carefully. When Xu Xin finished smoking all the cigarettes he lit, he asked a very question.
"Irrelevant" question: "Is it for outsiders to see, or is it for yourself?"
"For outsiders to see, but also for yourself." At first glance, the words of the two sounded like nonsense. But Qi Lei's brows wrinkled again.
"Should we show it to outsiders first, or should we show it to ourselves first?"
"I think there will be no delay for both sides." Xu Xin shook his head again: "To put it simply, for outsiders to see, it is nothing more than celebrities from all walks of life gathering together to seriously study the spirit of speech. The top, the same level, and the bottom will give an explanation to the three parties. The requirement is definitely mandatory. No matter what you are doing, the best way is to choose a fixed time every year to conduct a study and training. And see for yourself... I think the word "law does not punish the public" is actually very wrong. But why Sometimes we have to say that this is the fact. So, while there are not many of us now, let’s make a good start. What we do is what we do. Pass this kind of thing from generation to generation... If someone makes a small mistake, then Repent in time. The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the end. If there is someone who made a big mistake, there will be no reporters or spies in this internal study. Call the artists and managers over and show our attitude. There are good people. The end result is that the bad guys quickly change things before they are completely broken. And if they can’t change things, the factory won’t be able to help them in any way if something goes wrong. And how do some things get given out, how do they take them back, and distribute them? Others. And the door is always closed to him... That's all I can think of for the time being. Not to mention collective honor, collective dedication and the like. A few mouse droppings will enter, so that everyone knows in their hearts what awe is. There are even incentives at some levels to report each other..."
"This will cause chaos..." Upon hearing this, Qi Lei quickly reminded him. But Xu Xin shrugged: "That's why it's more convenient to do it when there are fewer people. With fewer people, there will be less competition pressure. When the reputation spreads, those sick rats will have to weigh it against us even if they want to come. Is it a suitable breeding ground for him to breed the virus? Slowly, the environment will get better... Maybe my idea is a little naive, but I think my idea is right. Today's Internet information spreads so fast, who can guarantee that their own If something happens to an artist, can he react in time and make strategies and responses? That's unrealistic. Besides, don't forget... Mr. Tian said that the second wave
"Coal Boss" is about to enter the stage. Once anyone and anything in this circle is linked to money, more gray will breed.
In this coming wave, we have no choice but to keep ourselves awake. "
"..." At this time, Qi Lei was speechless. Xu Xin's words made it clear a cold fact. Xiying Studio is not a hero and cannot save the world.
The situation in the future... may become extremely difficult to maintain the original intention. Everyone has too much time to take care of themselves.
How can you think about benefiting the world at the same time?
"So... mandatory study?" he asked. Xu Xin nodded: "Well, it's mandatory. No matter what you are busy with, you have to stop. But you have to be careful about the time. You can also give some flexibility. But it must come. This way Externally, internally, for everyone, for ourselves... Especially in the eyes of outsiders, at least we are implementing education. But there are always some poor students in a class. If something goes wrong, it is not a crime of war, and the fault is not mine. If we can leave this kind of impression on everyone, it means we have succeeded.”
"..." Qi Lei once again fell into silence... for an unknown number of times. After a while, he said, "We have to discuss this matter with Mr. Tian."
"But you can't notify a lot of people."
"Yes. We have to think carefully before Mr. Tian can issue it himself..."
"Is Mr. Tian here?"
"No, I'm going to Yanjing to work on the film festival. The plan is to announce the establishment of the film festival in late April, and then give a timetable and some regulations. Let domestic filmmakers prepare. The plan is to hold it in August and June We will start collecting works, and we will start to form a public review club in May. There are still a lot of things to be busy with."
"Then we can only wait until he comes back to talk about this matter. It just so happens that I have to go choose a location. Can we talk about it after he comes back from Shantou?"
"Okay..." After the two of them discussed it, Qi Lei responded and couldn't help but say: "Did you think of these on the way here? Or... have you already made a plan?"
"Didn't I tell you that I suddenly thought of it when I was looking at Weibo on the way here, what's wrong?" Looking at Xu Xin's confused look, Qi Lei hesitated to speak.
After a moment, he suddenly let out a long sigh: "Last time, you slapped your head and made Cloud Atlas. This time, you slapped your head and did it again. Who knows what you will take next time?"
"Uh..." In Xu Xin's dumbfounded eyes, he said with a bit of contentment: "How about you take less pictures? To calm down the taste?"
"...Ha~" Xu Xin chuckled. I'm afraid it's difficult~ He is the director. What is the most important thing for a director?
inspiration. no way. Who inspires him the most?
