I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 507 505. Wind

It is basically impossible for the leader to admit that he has ideological problems and has gone into misunderstandings.

In other words, the best way is to block the road for him without even letting him realize that he is going astray.

Therefore, Xu Xin didn't mention anything like "you have a problem with your thinking" at all in this paragraph. He just stated his demands completely.

After speaking out, he elicited Song Wen's phone call today.

After repeating the general meaning, he continued to add:

"I actually have a very, very good impression of their film festival...although frankly speaking, it is very simple. But if you think about it, I have basically...never participated in film festivals other than Sanjin, and Sanjin... What I pursue in this film festival is honor, so I don’t care about the decoration and the like.

But they are different. They are very poor and austere. But as soon as I entered Zhongchuan, I was really moved when I saw their small details of "no matter how poor they are, they must do their best". Because at least at this juncture, they are still very pure. "

Tian Shuanghe continued to frown and asked:

"So you mean... cooperate with them?"

"No, it's co-optation."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"It's worth ten million according to their procedures... I can't help but spend this ten million, don't you think? And when I invite them over this time, I actually want to have a chat with them.

First of all, they are a relatively mature group. Although the film festival is small, the small details revealed everywhere are really good.

Second... I think Song Wen's character is more in line with my taste. In an era where there is no shame in giving up for five buckets of rice, I am really surprised to see such a pure idealist.

So I figured...if we can do it, even if we don't make it that big at the beginning, we can use it as an icing on the cake for the cultural tourism industry. Use our influence to set the tone of this small film exhibition..."

Speaking of this, he spread his hands:

"We do not reject commercialization, but at least we can rely on this film festival to carry forward our old traditions. What others want to do, whether it is turning some film festivals into a place to brush up on qualifications, or a market for capital games That's okay... let them get it.

Some of today’s new directors and filmmakers always need a beam of light to shine down from the sky to help them light their way forward, don’t you think? "

"..."

This time, Tian Shuanghe fell silent.

He is the patriarch.

Be the leader.

Xu Xin's proposal was based on the core purpose of the factory, but he needed to think about more overall things.

There will definitely be no harm in getting this thing done.

But the problem is just like what he just expressed.

Even if other factors are not considered, in terms of the long-term cycle of this kind of film festival, there are too many things that need to be dealt with.

Volunteers, temporary workers, employees, planning, coordination...

Even if the team of this film exhibition is relatively mature, the factory can cooperate with the city and province to give the green light all the way, and there is even a lot of money to be made.

But the more this happens, the more your mind needs to be clear...

It is better not to excel than to never make mistakes.

This core purpose must be maintained throughout.

As for other supporting and derived things, whether it is the review team or the venue...

Those are just drizzle.

On this three-thirds of an acre of land in Xi'an, to put it a bit exaggeratedly...

It can be said that we are in the front, absolutely invincible.

After thinking about a cigarette, Tian Shuanghe suddenly picked up the phone, dialed a number and said:

"Hey, let the leaders above the supervisory level of each department come and go to the small conference room to hold an impromptu meeting."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Shuanghe pouted at Xu Xin:

"Let's go and talk about your thoughts with everyone. Don't be in a hurry about this matter. If it is confirmed that those people can come on the 3rd, you and Xiao Qi will arrange a few people to receive them and touch them. their demands.”

"OK, all right."

Xu Xin stood up and followed him out, saying:

"The organization must be under our name. Not only them, but the film festival must also be under our name. They have management rights, but they cannot have decision-making rights. Otherwise... I am also afraid that they will appear like the fifth generation. Have some other ideas.”

"Then use the public-private partnership approach. They probably have never been in the system, and many of the rules are unclear... How old are you?"

"Song Wen is in his early thirties, and several others are also in their 30s..."

"Um……"

Tian Shuanghe pondered slightly and nodded:

"The anger has been almost wiped away, but it's hard to say whether they are mature in thinking. I'm afraid they won't be able to realize some ideological things in time..."

"I will just communicate with them about this matter. Experience can be cultivated..."

"……Hahaha."

After hearing this, Tian Shuanghe couldn't help but feel happy.

yes.

Ninety-nine out of a hundred people in this world were cultivated bit by bit relying on time, environment, and experience.

Among these one hundred people, only one genius is allowed to be able to understand certain things innately.

He withdrew his gaze from Xu Xin.

"Xiao Xu."

"Huh? What's wrong, leader."

"Don't make mistakes. You, Mimi, Bingbing... you all. Don't make mistakes."

It didn’t specify what the so-called mistake was.

But he believed Xu Xin could understand.

It doesn’t say what the benefits of not making mistakes are.

Because this kid... understood it from the beginning.

Thinking of this, he felt at ease.

No matter what, when he retires, he shouldn't have to worry about it, right?

…

Xiying Studio is very united.

The leaders of various departments also followed Mr. Tian all the way.

Not to mention personality, as far as the general goal is concerned, everyone is actually in the same mind.

Therefore, at this improvised high-level meeting, when Xu Xin brought up the matter of the film festival, everyone's reaction was actually similar to Tian Shuanghe's.

The old man's first reaction was to refuse, because not only Tian Shuanghe understood the old factory director's intention, but they also understood it.

However, Wada Shuanghe refused directly.

Most people were thinking about the purpose of Mr. Tian's sudden meeting.

Mr. Tian must know this.

Let's hold a meeting to study it.

Then what is revealed here is different.

Trying to figure out what the leader means is a compulsory course.

After seeing that the leader did not refuse, they began to ask questions.

I want to see what reasons Director Xu relied on to accomplish this thing that even the fifth generation has not accomplished.

Sure enough, when hearing Xu Xin's words "I don't care whether it is recognized abroad or not", many people's first reaction was "What's the use of a film festival that cannot be recognized internationally?"

However, the first person to raise his hand in support was Qi Lei:

"I support Director Xu's statement. I think that since our domestic film market can be regarded as the second largest market in the world by foreign films, we ourselves should pay more attention to it. Indeed, Director Xu is right. Before integrating with international standards, We must first do a good job in the domestic market.”

Although it is not yet time for a show of hands to vote.

But seeing Qi Lei's reaction, many people had an idea.

The next step is to start discussions on film festival matters.

Finally, the recorder recorded the meeting contents.

It is still in the brainstorming stage and the specific process. Although these people from Xiying Studio have participated in many film festivals, if they really want to "run" it, they are still at the stage of talking about it on paper and have to explore it.

After confirming many ideas, including whether Song Wen's team is willing to contact and accept management, etc., at the end of the meeting, Tian Shuanghe suddenly said:

"Xiao Xu, what do you think would be a better name for this film festival if it really happens?"

"I didn't think about that."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"But I think... it's better to break away from the original name of "Xi'an International Film Festival". This will save you from being said to be misleading, what do you think?"

"Um……"

Tian Shuanghe obviously agrees with Xu Xin's point of view.

"Let's brainstorm ideas then. That's it for today's meeting... Everyone is keeping this news secret for now. If you have any good ideas... After the talent center celebration is over, write a report and send it to us. Then we will discuss the details in detail. Research...Xiao Qi, when the person from the College Student Film Festival comes, you and Xiao Xu are responsible for receiving him."

The meeting came to an end.

…

"Director Xu."

"Hey, Brother Qi."

"Hey...can you tell me, brother, to prepare for this kind of thing in advance? I'm not prepared at all..."

Qi Lei said as he led Xu Xin to his office.

Xu Xin said nothing.

He waited until he entered Qi Lei's office before he said:

"I only received a call from Song Wen and the others in the afternoon. After I had this idea, I went directly to Mr. Tian. As soon as Mr. Tian heard about it, he said it was too late to have a meeting..."

Qi Lei nodded.

He didn't really blame Xu Xin.

I called Xu Xin to ask more clearly.

"What is Mr. Tian's attitude towards people like Song Wen? How about you? Do you value them very much?"

"Not enough to take it seriously."

Hotan Shuanghe is a way of talking.

Another way to chat with Qi Lei.

"In fact, their biggest role is to inspire me and find the direction of how to absorb fresh blood in the factory. But really speaking of their role... with them, the preliminary preparations will be much easier, but without them, we can slowly Come.

So the most important requirement when talking to them is that they must accept it and learn to run the film festival under the rules. The incident of "Glorious Fury" must never happen again. This is an iron rule, and it is also the reason why Mr. Tian said that they have management rights but no decision-making rights. "

After hearing Xu Xin's words, Qi Lei understood the meaning:

"That's fine. I'm afraid they are irreplaceable..."

"Ha ha."

Xu Xin smiled happily:

"No one in this world is irreplaceable, Brother Qi, are you right?"

"Um."

Qi Lei responded.

…

When he came out of Qi Lei's office, the time came to early 5 o'clock.

It's time to get off work.

The recording of "The Voice" has also ended, and many viewers can be seen walking out.

There are many players among them...or people who should be players.

Seeing this, Xu Xin simply did not leave directly, but waited in the parking lot.

The audience was waiting to watch the lively Wang Sicong.

Don't even think about Jay Chou. He gets off the car and goes to the studio, and gets in the car when he goes out.

Otherwise, those enthusiastic fans surrounding him would not give him any chance to escape.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the car door was opened.

Looking at Xu Xin who was sitting in the driver's seat, Wang Sicong complained again:

"Brother, how about I give you a Bentley? I walk from the studio to the parking lot every day, I'm very tired, okay?"

"You just went to charge your bicycle today, but you didn't ride it. Which day did you use Route 11?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"I was saying that I was in a hurry to go out today, and Lao Lang's car happened to be blocked behind my car, so I drove yours. Do you really think I like this car?"

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

Wang Sicong rolled his eyes and watched Xu Xin skillfully shift gears and reverse the car, then reverse the car and park it on the side of the road.

The two of them were waiting for Jay Chou's nanny car.

"How's the editing going?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

"...Then why did you come to the factory today?"

"Ouch, it's still "in the factory"? What, young master, you brought the bucket into the factory?"

"...Don't mention it, I just feel like I'm at work every day."

Wang Sicong was speechless:

"Obviously there is a lot of nightlife waiting for me... But ever since I met you bastards, I am so busy with my career that I hit the back of my head every day... No, I have to vent! I want to go to a nightclub! I want nightlife !!!”

"Neuropathy."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"I'll be back tomorrow, how about you come with me?"

"Where to go? Yanjing? Magic City?"

"No, Chikan."

"You go back to reunite with your wife and children, why should I go?"

"Just be a light bulb."

"Can I light up when you two sleep at night?"

"Fuck you uncle..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

While joking, the two saw Jay Chou's GMC.

"Let's go, let's find a place to eat from the water basin tonight... Oops, this city in Xi'an is really poisonous. I obviously grew up eating rice. Now that I'm here, I hold a steamed bun every day without letting go. I'm really The thing is..."

Amidst Wang Sicong’s complaints, Xu Xin picked up the phone:

"Hey, stop playing. Big Lao Wang wants to eat from the water basin. You two go to the old place quickly... Oh yes, bring Mengmeng with me. I forgot her at home again when I went out."

While talking, Bentley stepped on the accelerator and came to the side of the GMC.

"Didi."

He honked the horn twice, and Wang Sicong lowered the car window in unison.

To Jay Chou’s driver:

"Water basin, the same place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin stepped on the accelerator and rushed out again.

in the car.

"By the way, what are you busy with this afternoon?"

"I want to do a film festival."

"...?"

Wang Sicong was stunned.

Film Festival……

Instantly, he also remembered what the two brothers were talking about in the car after the last Golden Rooster Award.

"Um...do you want to sponsor me?"

He suddenly said this.

"It's not settled yet. It's too early to talk about sponsorship... What do you mean?"

"Let's do it together!"

Wang Sicong had a look of "Young man, your understanding is a bit low":

"Let Wanda cooperate and create a deep binding. If this film festival becomes the top three in Europe, or the Golden Globe and Oscars... won't Wanda Cinemas dominate the world in the future?"

"...Why do you always think about monopolizing everything?"

Xu Xin was speechless.

"Nonsense, monopoly business is the most profitable, okay? I'm not in my position, but I'm just trying to do my job. Otherwise, if I go back to take over in the future, if I parachute back without any merit, who will obey me?"

"Well……"

Let’s not talk about making money or not.

When Wang Sicong said this, Xu Xin also felt that it made sense.

"Then... like this. After the 3rd, I will see how this works. If it works, I will try my best to get a regular sponsorship for Wanda... By the way, the cultural tourism industry in Shaanxi is about to take off, so you can do it yourself Can’t move your body? Lean this way?”

"Disaster."

Wang Sicong sighed:

"A few projects in my hand are suspended every three days, and they are like ancient tombs of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties... In fact, in terms of real estate, Xi'an's real estate resources are not really high-quality resources... I have considered it. However, I don’t want to say this idea yet... If I do, the old man will definitely take me back to the group, and my youth will be ruined..."

"..."

What he said actually sounded ridiculous to Xu Xin.

If you don't inherit such a huge property, why are you just hanging around outside?

But think about it carefully...

I seem to be about the same.

The eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.

But...he actually understood it very well.

Understand where your basic base is.

His current achievements really require a slow transformation to transform all the personal aspects of his body into another level of content.

Thinking of this, he said:

"The film festival may not necessarily make money, but it does improve the brand value. You should discuss this with your people in advance and see if you can make a plan. Next, it should be after the 3rd, one after another We will continue to submit this project and add it to the tourism development industry plan.

You have to let people show off your strengths...

And be prepared to sponsor every year.

As long as you can do it well...the first benefit is your brand value, and I mean the separate theater segment. As for monopoly, that is a business strategy, so I won’t mention it. Secondly, I think the biggest benefit is the tendency of moviegoers to make consumption choices... This is one of the manifestations of corporate image..."

"..."

Wang Sicong said nothing.

It's just that his eyes are a little straight.

Even a little empty.

And Xu Xin explained the advantages of his own thinking one after another, from brand value to corporate image, all the same without reservation.

He didn't notice Wang Sicong's increasingly weird eyes at all.

till the end……

"That's it. After the 3rd, once the factory starts operating this matter... then Mr. Tian will definitely take the lead and get the support first. After getting the support, the main body of the operation will definitely be our factory. By then, Mr. Tian will be in charge , let me help you speak... Basically there will be no problem. As long as you can come up with enough support and something that touches people's hearts... why don't you speak?"

"Old Xu..."

"ah?"

"I seem to be able to understand more or less why you want to take this path."

The eldest young master suddenly said this.

Then a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes:

"Have you ever thought about it, if this film festival is really successful, its gold content will increase..."

"Then you are our shield from over-commercialization."

Not sure if Wang Sicong meant this, Xu Xin said directly:

"You were our sponsor in the early stage, so we didn't have to spend too much money to operate this project. If it succeeds in the later stage, we will start to feed back your brand value, and you will not let go. Our cooperation will become closer and closer. And. On the premise that there is no over-commercialization, the content in the film festival will be purer and more valuable... If you look at it from this level, you can't go wrong."

"Um."

Wang Sicong did not continue what he had just said, but just followed Xu Xin's intention and said:

“A stable partner for the festival, huh?”

"right."

"Then do it."

"Um."

With Xu Xin's agreement, Wang Sicong handed over a cigarette.

The two of them were puffing away while driving.

Wang Sicong, looking at the neon lights around him in the dusk wind, suddenly said:

"So, the one thing that never changes is that... in any matter, as long as you can be one step ahead of others and gain the upper hand, you can always reap the greatest benefits."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded.

In fact, he understood what the Big Pharaoh wanted to say.

And there's nothing wrong with what he summarized.

But at this moment, his mind recalled the scene when he attended the state banquet for the first time.

In other words, before the state banquet, he was smoking on the roadside and met Mr. Zhao Dezhi, the project manager of Yanjing Urban Construction, who was also a contributor to the Olympics at that time.

Although the two had little contact in the past two years, he didn't know how Zhao Dezhi was developing recently.

But his words came to mind at this moment:

"Director Xu, we are like the leaves on the roadside, waiting for the wind to come every day. If a gust of wind blows, even if it is just a little bit, we may turn over. If the wind is stronger, it will carry us forward. For a section of the way, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves."

Of course, he is not so crazy that he thinks Wanda is just a leaf.

I don’t feel like I’m just a big wind either.

only……

Now he suddenly understood the words more deeply.

So, here comes the problem.

When did I...

Can it become that violent wind?

Also looking at the taillights of the car in front, he thought.
