Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The two directors even lowered their status and directly asked Chen Xiao for advice on filming techniques.

Chen Xiao was not arrogant and was willing to tell them everything he knew.

He was straightforward, honest and humble.

The other six people showed their appreciation for this junior. They even wondered if there was any chance for this young man.

Fang Rong exclaimed:"The Best Director and Best Screenwriter of the Golden Rooster Awards this time will definitely go to Director Chen."

Another director showed an envious and regretful look and exclaimed:"At the age of 23, I didn't dare to think about it back then. He has a bright future." Everyone nodded.

Yes, they were still studying for a master's degree or serving tea and water on the crew at the age of 23.

And they are about to win the Golden Rooster Award.

Comparison is frustrating.

Yao Hua tilted his head and asked:"Director Chen, have you signed up for the 'Un Certain Regard' section at the Cannes Film Festival next month? This track is very friendly to newcomers."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and stared at Chen Xiao.

They didn't originally associate the newcomer Chen Xiao with the world's most authoritative film festival.

When Yao Hua mentioned this, they remembered that"Titanic", which broke the box office record, might really win an award in the track where new directors gather!

Chen Xiao shook his head.

Fang Rong sighed.

What a pity.

Just when he was feeling regretful, he heard Chen Xiao say,"We have signed up for the main competition unit."

The conference room instantly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were full of shock.

You, a newcomer, are signing up for the main competition unit? Does this guy really know what the main competition unit is?

Everyone was praising you for your humility just now, but it turns out you are so arrogant?

Fang Rong gave a dry laugh and broke the silence of the conference room:"No. 20 will be on the shortlist, right? I hope to see your film"

"Thank you, Director Fang."

Soon, everyone turned the topic back to the plot and filming techniques of"Titanic" and chatted enthusiastically.

Around, the staff responsible for recording, taking pictures, and serving tea and water were already in place.

Looking at Chen Xiao who was chatting and laughing with the famous screenwriter and director, his eyes were full of envy.

They could enter the Art Department, at least they were graduate students.

They passed the national examination where thousands of people squeezed into a single plank bridge, and then sat in the corner of this office.

They thought they were the chosen ones of heaven, but Director Chen was younger than them.

He had already sat in the main seat in the middle.

With their usual cautious reception The big directors and screenwriters were chatting and laughing.

Alas... this gap really makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, this sour feeling was soon suppressed by the busyness.

Ten minutes later.

Li Zhiming entered the conference room with three experts from the advisory committee.

The seven candidates stood up and greeted them.

After a brief courtesy.

Director Li, three committee experts, and seven candidates, a total of 11 people sat down at the long oval table in the middle.

Director Li smiled and said,"Today we are mainly discussing and gathering everyone's strengths. Everyone relax and just chat."

He repeated the rules he had told Chen Xiao a few days ago.

Although everyone knows the rules, they have to say it again on the surface.

After speaking, Li Zhiming looked at Fang Rong on the left.

"Let's start from this side and speak counterclockwise, okay? Director Fang, would you please go first?"

Fang Rong smiled.

He couldn't say it was bad.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that speaking counterclockwise from the left side was just to put Chen Xiao, who was sitting on his right, last.

Chen Xiao probably didn't understand opera, and putting him last was clearly biased.

For the last speaker, just copy and paste what the previous six people said, and add some of his own opinions.

It is very convenient for outsiders who don't understand opera to get through this.

However, no one was dissatisfied.

In their opinion, Chen Xiao was not on the same track as them.

The six of them competed for the chief director and chief screenwriter, and interpreted the charm of Peking Opera. And Chen Xiao was a member, responsible for making suggestions and attracting young people.

Fang Rong smiled, swept his eyes over the crowd, and began to express his ideas

"In the past two years, videos from Henan Province have been widely circulated and received rave reviews. For example, the Dunhuang-style Flying Goddess of Luo River Dance visually shocked the audience. I think this is a good way to shock the audience with beauty.……"

Fang Rong continued to talk about his pictures and site selection plan.

Then others also expressed their ideas.

After more than an hour, it was finally Chen Xiao's turn. After sitting for so long, everyone was a little tired.

Especially the three screenwriters, who estimated that Chen Xiao didn't understand Peking Opera and should talk about the shooting content from the director's perspective, were even more distracted.

The same was true for Yao Hua.

After listening to the speeches of the other two screenwriters, it was estimated that the chief screenwriter was already in his pocket, and he leaned back in his chair and watched easily.

Li Zhiming looked at Chen Xiao and smiled,"What do you think, Director Chen?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xiao, waiting for him to talk about the shooting concept.

However, Chen Xiao turned around, took out a thick stack of printed documents from his backpack, and handed them to the other 10 people present. He handed the extra two copies to the clerk behind him.

This morning, he printed out 7 candidates, plus Li Zhiming's copy, and printed five more copies just in case.

I didn't expect so many people to be there.

Everyone at the main table got the script.

But the seven or eight clerks around could only get two copies in total.

Chen Xiao smiled at them shyly,"Sorry, I didn't expect so many people."

The junior staff immediately felt flattered. It's okay if you don't give us the money!

The box office record holder actually apologized to them, what a nice guy!

He deserves to be rich.

The people at the main table took the document and saw six big words on the cover:

《Farewell My Concubine.

Everyone felt the thickness of the script and looked at Chen Xiao, all showing shock.

It's only been a few days?

The script is ready?

And it's not short.

The Ministry of Culture notified that a promotional video would be shot half a month ago.

In the first half of this half month, the outside world was full of ridicule for Titanic.

In the second half, he was praised as a genius and a genius, and was praised to the sky.

Under such circumstances, he was not surprised by praise or criticism, and his mentality was stable. He learned Peking Opera knowledge and wrote this script?

And Peking Opera knowledge is not so easy to learn?

I'm afraid he has to stay up all night to write this script?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at him with more admiration.

No wonder he broke the box office record at such a young age.

Both mentality and perseverance are rare!

Being stared at by everyone, Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed. He picked up his own script and smiled awkwardly:"A little idea, please give me some advice, seniors."

Everyone came back to their senses.

His eyes fell back on the script in front of him and flipped through it casually.

Of course, just because everyone thinks he works hard doesn't mean they don't think the script will be amazing.

A young man who doesn't know Peking Opera can't write a masterpiece after cramming for a month, right?
