NOVEL FROG Chapter 138
The publicity officer of the Ministry of Science and Technology was having dinner.
He had posted the interview video of the scientific and technological personnel 10 minutes ago.
The official Weibo account has only 12,000 followers.
In order to let more people see the video, they bought a placement, and it is estimated that it will be released to the public within 5 hours.
After a simple 15-minute dinner, he picked up his phone and his eyes widened.
50,000 likes and 30,000 reposts?
What the hell?
Even the cat meme emoticon package video made by the new young people last week did not increase so fast.
I clicked in and took a closer look and found that it was Director Chen who helped to repost it.
The appeal is really strong.
Some responses from official accounts soon appeared under the video.
【Capital Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine]: You are so popular now, I am so envious
【[Opera Channel]: Hiss——He films a new industry and makes it popular. Director Chen is raising poison, right? Damn it! Come back and film opera soon!
【Animal Protection Association】: Squat one
【Ministry of Environment】：Squat down
……
Capital Wushu Association.
In the warehouse, seven or eight people were quickly sorting out the props. They had just finished the National Day Wushu performance half an hour ago and were putting the props back in place.
In the lounge upstairs, the vice president walked over to sit next to the president.
""Old Xu, have you read the news online?"
President Xu was in a bad mood.
He was upset because few people watched the performance today.
Hearing his question, he felt even more annoyed.
"What's the difference between what you said and asking me"Are you there?" What's the news?"
"Interviews with scientific and technological personnel have become popular. Whenever Chen Xiao films an industry, the popularity of that industry explodes. This good thing has fallen on us. I heard that the Ministry of Culture and Chen Xiao are planning to cooperate in making a martial arts film, and Minister Li’s secretary is looking for martial arts instructors. How about we help invite a few professionals?"
He specifically asked to help find people because the current situation of the martial arts instructor industry is a bit delicate.
In recent years, film and television production has become more and more crude.
Actors are too lazy to train, and martial arts films are all slow motion and special effects.
Excellent martial arts instructors have changed careers because they have no movies to shoot or because of conflicts with directors and actors.
There are not many excellent martial arts instructors left.
President Xu nodded and said,"I heard about this. I must help. This opportunity to spread martial arts must be seized. I plan to invite Senior Kuang Shaoyi."
Hearing the name Kuang Shaoyi, the vice president's heart tightened.
Kuang Shaoyi was known as the country's top martial arts instructor in the 1990s.
He really deserves this title. He has been learning northern kung fu since he was a child, and he has studied Bajiquan and Yuanyangjiao in depth. Later, he also studied southern kung fu. He also dabbled in weapons such as knives, swords, guns, and sticks.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
After the millennium, he retired from the film industry because of conflicts with many directors.
Thinking of this, the vice president asked with some embarrassment:
"It's hard to invite him out, right? Even if we can, he has too many ideas. Chen Xiao is learning martial arts, so it's easy for them to have conflicts, right? If they do, it will be awkward for us to be caught in the middle."
President Xu waved his hand and smiled,"People change, don't worry, there won't be conflicts. I'll take care of it, don't worry about it."
Seeing what the president said, the vice president didn't say anything more.
I just hope that this new martial arts film can be like the previous two movies and inject some vitality into them.
……
"Very good! I feel several years younger today."
In a private room of a Chinese restaurant, Zhou Tao from the Ministry of Science and Technology looked at the comments praising the technology personnel on his mobile phone, smiling.
He took a sip of tea and asked,"Is the box office coming out soon?"
In the seat opposite him, Li Zhiming calmly picked up a piece of braised fish and said,"Yes, it will be soon. It will take about ten minutes.""
"Looking at the situation, he can win another award!" Zhou Tao's face was wrinkled with laughter.
He and Li Zhiming are old acquaintances.
There were only two people in the private room, and he was too lazy to put on airs, and his smile was beyond words.
He picked up the phone and continued:"Let's go and win Cannes, Berlin, and Venice!"
"What's so good about those awards? It's boring. You have to learn from me and keep a calm mind."
Li Zhiming said, and ate his meal leisurely.
Zhou Tao snorted and laughed.
"Still pretending? Who is it? Half a year ago, when Farewell My Concubine swept the Venice Awards, someone sent me a message in the middle of the night to show off, and was late for work the next day? He was absent from the training session, who was that?"
Li Zhiming put down his chopsticks and said with a smile,"I have won 28 international awards in the past six months, I'm used to it."
In the past six months, Farewell My Concubine has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the 19th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the Japan Film Critics Association Best Foreign Language Film Award, the International Federation of Film Critics Award... an average of 6 awards a month.
It's not that he can't win other international awards, but that they were not held in the past six months.
As a result, he doesn't feel anything when he sees the big awards now.
He's numb from winning awards.
Not only him, but even the crew is tired.
In the past two months, without being impolite, the crew simply took turns to receive the awards.
Zhou Tao snorted and laughed,"You've changed, you weren't like this before"
"Don't worry, Interstellar will still sign up. After all, the crew members need to gain fame."
"Then this year's Cannes, isn't it a fight between"Interstellar" and"Farewell My Concubine"?"
Li Zhiming smiled and nodded,"Probably. But it doesn't matter, I have a new goal."
"What is the goal? Tell me."
"Establish a new film festival, create a new award, and raise it to the same level as the three major international awards. Hold the right to speak in the film industry in our hands!"
Zhou Tao paused while picking up the food, and his face became serious,"This is difficult."
There are some film festivals in China now, such as the Shanghai International Film Festival, the Capital International Film Festival, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
In terms of influence, there are indeed���There is a lot of room for development.
But it is almost impossible to create a new award that is on par with the three major awards.
Zhou Tao frowned and said,"We do have three good movies recently. But……"
Li Zhiming smiled and said,"Isn't Chen Xiao planning to set up a company? I have communicated with the higher-ups and will support him to build a film and television base as soon as possible, speed up talent training, and strive to develop it into a global film and television industry base within 15 years."
At this point, Li Zhiming smiled.
It's a coincidence.
The country is now focusing on cultural development, and it just happened to meet a film and television genius.
Chen Xiao wanted to develop, and just caught up with this trend of the times.
It can be regarded as what young people call"running in both directions"
"15 years." Zhou Tao repeated.
15 years, it sounds like a long time, but it is such a short time in the big era.
The Olympics have just been over for about this long.
Is 15 years really enough to build a global film and television industry base and create a big award?
Forget it, he studies scientific research policies every day and doesn't really understand the situation in the film and television industry, so he doesn't want to think about it.
Zhou Tao retracted his thoughts,"I wish you good luck. By the way, I am more curious now, how much is the box office of"Interstellar"?"
