Chapter 80 Little Wang's Tail Was Stepped On
......
After taking the stage...
Chen Kaige submitted his prepared creative proposal to the Organizing Committee, and then turned slightly to face all the attendees.
The audience below stood in solemn silence, watching him expectantly.
The proposal he just submitted was actually written by hand, which alone demonstrates Old Chen's sincerity.
As expected of the only Palme d'Or holder in the country, he impressed everyone with just a few words.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Kai raised the microphone, and his deep voice slowly rang out.
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but we will start anew and forge ahead!"
"On July 13th four years ago, on that night, the Olympic Games that countless people had been looking forward to were finally won. That night, like many others, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."
Today, we gather here for this grand occasion, so that we may showcase the grandeur of a great nation, promote the spirit of sports, spread Chinese culture, and pay tribute to our predecessors and martyrs at the opening ceremony of the Olympics three years from now.
His deep voice filled the conference room, stirring everyone's emotions and inspiring them with Old Chen's opening remarks.
yes..
After applying for the Olympics time and time again, it was finally our turn.
Just as Old Chen said, now we are starting anew. After a century of humiliation, the land of China has been reborn from the ashes and is once again soaring to the top of the world.
Fang Yi's expression was the same as everyone else's, showing anticipation, emotion, and aspirations for the future.
He stared at Old Chen, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for insufficient preparation and overconfidence, the outcome today might not have been so certain!"
Just as everyone was caught up in their emotions, eagerly awaiting Chen Kaige's explanation of his opening ceremony ideas,
Old Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "As time goes by, looking back at that overwhelming celebration, I can't help but think of a poem written by Dupu."
Suddenly, news arrived from beyond the sword's edge that Jibei had been recovered. Upon first hearing it, tears streamed down my face, soaking my clothes. But then I looked at my wife and children; where was their sorrow now? I hastily rolled up my books and poems, overjoyed beyond measure.
Before the words were even finished, the leader on the stage changed his expression.
In the central position.
The senior leader stopped flipping through the manuscript, and his gaze became calm.
Old Chen's last sentence, almost chanted, failed to move anyone; instead, it caused the atmosphere in the meeting room to plummet.
What's going on? Reciting poetry!
We want to hear creativity, do you understand creativity?
Everyone felt empty inside, as if they had made all the necessary preparations to face a martial arts master, only to have the master cough up blood and fall to the ground with a single punch.
That's it!
Fang Yi stared blankly, his heart pounding. It was indeed a famous scene, stunning everyone.
Next, Chen Kaige mentioned a few creative ideas for the opening ceremony, but they weren't very original.
The interest of everyone at the scene started high but then declined, with some even cursing and sighing in their hearts.
well..
Chen Kaige ultimately couldn't shake off his past glories.
Sparse applause broke out, and Old Chen strode off the stage and returned to his seat.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't think much of it.
.......
It was noon.
The guesthouse prepared lunch for everyone. Fang Yi walked out of the meeting room and took his cell phone from the staff.
There was an unread text message from Liu Yifei. She had invited Shu Chang to see the movie "The Myth" at the cinema that afternoon and asked if he wanted to go.
"I'm in Huairou and can't get back this afternoon. You guys go ahead and tell me the plot later."
Fang Yi smiled as he edited the message and clicked send.
On the other side, Shunyi Villa Estate.
Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Shu Chang were having lunch, chatting and laughing.
"Changchang, stop eating the vegetables and have some soup."
Liu Xiaoli served Shu Chang a bowl of mutton soup. She liked Shu Chang's personality very much and treated her like her goddaughter.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shu Chang chuckled, picked up a spoon, and took a small sip. Seeing her best friend looking at her phone, she couldn't help but ask expectantly, "Did Director Fang agree?"
"No, he said he's in Huairou and can't come back in time."
Liu Yifei spoke casually, put down her phone, and continued to eat the nutritious soup in her bowl.
Huairou!
Liu Xiaoli blinked, thinking of the Olympic Games chief director election that had spread throughout the industry.
Why is this little guy going to join in the fun?
She shook her head and instructed the two girls, "Go early and come back early, don't stay out too late. Changchang, stay here tonight."
at the same time..
Wang Zhonglei, who had been living a dissolute life for several days, came to Wang Zhongjun's house with his wife and children to beg for money.
After lunch, the two brothers went for a walk and a smoke outside the villa.
Wang Zhonglei glanced at the villa complex and laughed, "Brother, Director Fang went to Huairou today with his teacher, Professor Tian, to participate in the competition for the chief director of the Olympic Games."
"Oh...how did you know?"
Wang Zhongjun didn't stop walking, flicked his cigarette ash, and looked over.
"Lu Chuan and his father went too; they sent me the message while we were eating."
Wang Zhonglei chuckled, looking like he was eager to hear some gossip.
"Brother, do you think there's any possibility that Professor Tian might...?"
"Disaster.."
Wang Zhongjun waved his hand, knowing what his younger brother was thinking.
Although Tian Zhuangzhuang is a key figure of the fifth generation of directors and has excellent directing skills, there are too many experts vying for the position of chief director of the Olympics this time. Just the three of them—Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Li An—are enough to give the others a hard time.
Feng Xiaogang had also been planning to get involved, but he was persuaded not to, so he used the names of the three people mentioned earlier.
Instead of just going through the motions, let's make a good film like "The Banquet"!
After listening to the advice, Feng Xiaogang remembered the world-renowned film "Hero" and the upcoming film "The Promise," and gave up his idea of running for chief director.
But this guy was a thoughtful person. He went to the Olympic Organizing Committee in person and assured them that they could call him Lao Feng if they needed anything.
I would go through fire and water without hesitation!
As a result, many leaders felt regretful that he did not run for office.
The two brothers chatted about the Olympics for a while. Wang Zhongjun walked to a stream and looked at the green bonsai at his feet, asking, "Zhonglei, did Li Lianjie agree?"
"That's a nod of approval!"
Wang Zhonglei stepped forward, kicked away an AD calcium milk bottle, and said with a happy face, "His salary is expensive, but with him and Jackie Chan joining forces, 'The Forbidden Kingdom' is already more than halfway to success."
His younger brother's words brought a smile to Wang Zhongjun's face, his thoughts drifting.
Let's imagine what kind of success Huayi Brothers can achieve with this blockbuster after its release.
As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered the phone call Han Sanping had made to him a few days ago, and his smile vanished.
Seeing the change in his expression, Wang Zhonglei asked, puzzled, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"well.."
Wang Zhongjun sighed and revealed that Han Sanping had called him to meet, expressing his intention to invest in "Kung Fu King".
What!
China Film Group also wants to get involved!
Wang Zhonglei's expression changed drastically, and he almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Chairman Han's appetite is too big! We just gave him a share of 'Taken,' and now he's eyeing 'King of Kung Fu.' This is too much!"
"Brother, we can't agree to this. What did you say on the phone?"
"What else can I say? Let's talk about it when we meet!"
Wang Zhongjun looked at his younger brother's expression, which looked like he had just eaten a dead rat, and cursed him inwardly for his lack of composure. He said calmly, "No matter what, China Film Group is the industry leader. If Huayi wants to be released in the future, it will be inseparable from Chairman Han's help. Let's wait and see. If Chairman Han insists on investing..."
We cannot stop them, nor can we stop them!
"Brother, do you think Chairman Han would just rob us outright?" Wang Zhonglei didn't believe it and tried to stop his brother from backing down.
Unfortunately, he was still too young and made assumptions.
Wang Zhongjun, who was more mature and composed than him, figured out the crux of the matter the moment he received Han Sanping's call.
He stubbed out his cigarette and scoffed, "Heh... China Film Group doesn't need to rob anyone; they can just go directly to overseas investors!"
A casual remark left Wang Zhonglei speechless and dumbfounded.
