Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 101 100. If only we at Nortel had been more united, we would have been able to carry out the Chinese and Shangxi operas long ago.

After leaving Liu Xiaoli's house, Wei Wu carried his things to his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang's house for New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year, teacher. I'm here to wish you a happy New Year."

"Okay, okay, come in quickly."

Wei Wu sat down, and an energetic old lady brought him tea. Wei Wu quickly stood up and took it with both hands:

"Thank you, Teacher Yu."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's mother waved her hand in the basket and said, "Sit down, don't be so polite. It turns out you are Wei Wu. I often hear Zhuangzhuang mention you. You are indeed talented and heroic!"

Wei Wu quickly said humbly: "Teacher Yu, you have given me the award. This junior is really unworthy of it!"

Yu Lan nodded slightly and said, "I've watched both the film you filmed, "Unfortunately" and "Those Years," and they are indeed very good films!

"I have been working in movies all my life, but this is indeed the first time I have seen a director as young and accomplished as you! No wonder Zhuangliang is vying to accept you as his apprentice!

"My son is stubborn and has a weird temper. He has done a lot of stupid things in his life, but accepting you as my disciple is the one that satisfies me the most and I can't fault him!"

Wei Wu quickly said: "Teacher Yu, what you said really scares me. Teacher, there is still a lot for me to learn!"

The two briefly chatted for a few more words. After all, Yu Lan was old and lacked energy, so he simply went back to his room to rest, allowing Wei Wu and Tian Zhuangzhuang to talk.

As soon as he stood up, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but mention "People on the Road" again, feeling quite proudly:

“To be honest, although I thought this movie might do well at the box office, I was really surprised when the actual results came out.

"I didn't expect that Lao Mouzi's "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" actually had a box office of 20 million less than you. When I meet him next time, I will give him a good shame!"

Wei Wu also smiled and said, "Thanks to the teacher's help. If it hadn't been for the teacher's help in arranging the film, my film would not have achieved this result."

Tian Zhuangzang waved his hand and said, "Scheduling films is very important, but what's even more important is that the quality of the film itself is left alone, otherwise no matter how many films are planned, it will be in vain.

"I heard that there will be a sequel to "Unfortunate Journey". When will it be filmed?"

Wei Wu thought for a moment and said, "It's probably too late this year... I'm going to shoot "Silver Driver" in the first half of the year, and then "Painted Skin" in the second half of the year. Maybe it will be the first half of next year at the earliest!"

After all, "Painted Skin" is a fantasy film with a lot of special effects, so the post-production process was very slow. Generally speaking, the post-production time of a movie with special effects is often more than twice that of a movie without special effects.

Therefore, the filming and post-production of "Painted Skin" took more than half a year. In this way, it is obvious that "囧" will not be filmed this year, so we will have to wait until next year.

"Teacher, I recently opened a new company and launched the Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Plan. The purpose is to provide targeted support to young directors and discover new forces in the directing circle..."

Then Wei Wu explained the purpose of the "Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Plan" to Tian Zhuangzhuang in detail, and finally revealed the purpose:

"Mainly because I'm a low-key person, I just want to see if you, teacher, can help me talk to the school leaders -

"When the time comes, we, Bad Monkey Pictures, are going to join forces with Nortel and China Film Group to do this and hold a serious signing press conference. Teacher, do you think this is feasible?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded slightly and said, "I think it's good. Don't worry, I will definitely support you. Just go ahead and do it boldly!"

Of course, it was impossible for Tian Zhuangzhuang to miss Xiao Jiujiu in Wei Wu's heart.

No matter how high-sounding Wei Wu may be on the surface, he is actually pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner, and getting Nortel and China Film to endorse him and raise his worth. When the time comes, he will raise his arms and respond naturally.

But I have to say that Wei Wu's banner is still very good, and no one can find fault with it.

As the top art school in China, Nortel supports the discovery and cultivation of new talents in domestic films. This is completely professional and there is nothing wrong with it!

In this way, Tian Zhuangzhuang can bring this matter up to the school committee openly, and it will be difficult for others to accuse him of using his power for personal gain.

Moreover, this matter really had to be done by Wei Wu, and it was particularly convincing for him to take the lead, because he himself is a leader among young directors.

If an older, veteran director really shouted this slogan, he would probably only be ridiculed:

Mud is just like you old guys, relying on the old to sell the old and doing things based on seniority, so that we are suppressed and newcomers can't get ahead! Hua Ma Ma has the nerve to pretend to shout such slogans, but he really has no shame at all!

Seeing that Tian Zhuangzhuang agreed, Wei Wu climbed up the pole again and talked about another thing:

"By the way, teacher, do you have a graduate student named Lu Yang under you now?"

Lu Yang is the director of the "Xiuchundao" series. Later he also filmed "Assassination of Novelists" and "The Wind Rises in Longxi", and co-directed "King Kong River". He is considered a relatively famous young director.

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and said, "Yes, among the students I am currently teaching, there is a second-year graduate student named Lu Yang. He will graduate from graduate school next year. He is thin and has a long face."

Wei Wu continued: "Yes, that's him I'm talking about. I want to invite Senior Brother Lu Yang to our Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Plan. I wonder if Teacher, can you help introduce him?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't know why Wei Wu fell in love with Lu Yang. To be honest, Lu Yang couldn't be said to be particularly outstanding among the graduate students he taught, at least incomparable to Wei Wu.

But since Wei Wu has taken a liking to him, it is also a good thing for him. They are now brothers in the same sect. If they can help each other in the future, it will be even more beautiful!

This is a good thing. Naturally, Tian Zhuangzhuang would not object, so he nodded directly and said:

"Okay, no problem, I'll make an appointment in two days, then you two can talk among yourself!

Then he took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "To be honest, we at Nortel have produced so many famous directors over the years, but we are still overwhelmed by Chinese dramas. A big problem is that we are not united enough.

"To put it into perspective, I'm afraid Lao Mouzi is to blame. It's all because he didn't take the lead well. If he had praised the students from our own school instead of those from the Chinese opera from the beginning, then the younger generations would naturally follow suit!

"So if we at Nortel could unite a little more, we would have been able to work on the Chinese drama and the drama!"

"Yes, yes, I am working hard on this!"

To be honest, Wei Wu wanted to laugh after hearing this. His teacher really didn't feel pain in his back when he stood talking.

Logically speaking, your class of 1978 is the most outstanding class at Nortel.

Not only you, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, but also Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Zhang Li (director of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and "The Righteous Path of the World is Vicissitudes of Life"), Hu Mei (director of "The Great Emperor of Hanwu" and "Yongzheng Dynasty" ).

In addition, Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Tielin are also from your class. They are full of talents and strong troops. They are definitely stronger than Class 96 of China National Theater.

As a result, you guys in the same class scattered all over the sky after graduation, each doing your own thing, but you didn't see how you were united! So how can we expect alumni from different generations to unite?
