Chapter 49:

Chu Xiaxing did not expect that the other party would think that she was better than Xu Xiancheng. She stared at Song Wenye in silence for a moment, trying to distinguish whether he was a joke or the truth, but in the end she didn't see anything.
Chu Xiaxing picked up the stone on the side of the road and threw it to the lake in a casual manner. Seeing the stones splashing on the surface of the water, she said casually: "Hey, Song always learned this kind of routine, and said some scenes to fool people. , This is not sincere enough."
Although Chu Xiaxing often pulls on Xu Xiancheng's lips, she knows how much effort it takes to compare with her, not even just by sweat. Chu Xiaxing may still retain his skills, but if he wants to regain his past position, more opportunities and fate are needed.
First-class directors will use works to portray changing times, but she is not born in this era.
This is like Xu Xiancheng's declining works in recent years. They can shine in their own era, but now it is a new era. She always laughed at Director Xu's Jiang Lang talent, but also understood his cowardice and vacillation, they were all questioning whether they belonged to this era.
Because they have been brilliant, they have new puzzles.
Even Chu Xiaxing can't guarantee that she will be enshrined in the new era. This is not the era that gave birth to her.
Song Wenye: "I didn't say anything about it."
Chu Xiaxing: "Director Xu is a figure recorded in film history. He has been in the film industry for decades. I am now a young director in my 20s. You really praise me..."
Song Wenye asked back: "Does the director's age matter? I am also young in the group, but I don't think I am inferior."
Chu Xiaxing gave him a surprised look. She was angry and funny and said, "Is this suddenly pulled up?"
Song Wenye usually speaks modestly and conservatively. Now he is sitting by the lake and blowing the night breeze, but his whole body seems to relax, not as tight as before, and even his words are straightforward.
Song Wenye blinked solemnly, and then relaxedly said: "Anyway, I have already rudely evaluated Director Xu tonight, and then rudely evaluate the group seniors, it should be nothing."
"Actually, when I first joined the group, there was a lot of controversy. Although Dong Duan had already done work in advance, it was indispensable to be discussed by other people, especially some veterans, such as President Qin you met last time..." Song Wenye never asked Others have talked about his own experience, but today he seems to be infected by the soothing atmosphere, and his tone is leisurely and peaceful, "Even Duan Dong who arranged me to come in, thinks I may not be able to adapt, and should go to official career."
When Chu Xiaxing heard him talk about the past, he hesitated: "Duan Dong is..."
Song Wenye: "The chairman of the group is also my grandfather, but he is called Duan Dong at work."
Chu Xiaxing fell silent, and Duan Dong was Duan Hui's father. It stands to reason that Song Wenye’s character is indeed more to be in politics, but Duan Hui’s reputation in Yanchuan City at that time was such that his son could hardly continue this road because of his emotions and reason.
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows slightly. She speculated on the next plot, and said casually: "Then you decide to prove yourself by hard work, and then you will rise up in the group, and finally won the appreciation of Duan Dong and the veteran?"
Song Wenye is a standard escalation routine in the group. Isn't this the script for a headwind?
Song Wenye shook his head: "No, I didn't want to prove myself at the time. I just felt that the group would collapse if I didn't work hard."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
Song Wenye said: "As the manager of a large group, Duan Dong will make stereotyped judgments on people, preconceived that I can't do it, which is really unprofessional in the management post. This reflects the overall temperament of the company and the team he leads It's normal to collapse."
Chu Xiaxing heard Song Wenye's secret grudge, and said amusedly: "...I think it's normal for Duan Dong to clear the door after hearing this."
Chu Xiaxing: Actually evaluating your own industry will be muddled, are you afraid that you want to be beaten up by your grandpa?
"So I don't think that the director's age and seniority represent everything. The more important thing is whether he is suitable for himself, not whether he is suitable for outsiders." Song Wenye looked straight at Chu Xiaxing with his eyes. Ming Che said seriously, "I usually say a lot of scenes, but the sentence just now is really not a scene."
It is true that Song Wenye will never have the ability to direct, but he has the ability to screen directors. When he heard Director Xu say, "Why do you want to force it", he actually simulated Chu Xiaxing's tone in his mind automatically. She might respond with "I want to force it" on the spot, otherwise it would not be her arrogant character.
He knew at that moment that he had found the most suitable director, not even related to age, qualifications and status, but the artistic vitality from the inside out, just like the brilliant sunset in the evening of Yanchuan, stretching endless dreamy colors.
Chu Xiaxing has heard countless others praise herself, but that was all after she became famous, and it all belonged to the era of Chu Xiaxing, not the era of Chu Xiaxin. Even Xie Zhaoyan and others were convinced of her strength after "Blood Sky", and Chu Xiaxing was actually not expected when she first entered the industry.
Occasionally, she is used to not being expected, because there are few female directors in the circle, so she is regarded with colored glasses; because she was young when she became famous, she was unavoidable to be discussed by her predecessors; because it was a labor model for continuous filming, she was said to leave. Quantity does not lose quality, unlike Xu Xiancheng's boutique.
Of course, after Chu Xiaxing's death, these voices will no longer be heard, and the masters who have passed away will be promoted to the altar. This is the habit of the world, the dead are perfect, and the living can be pointed at will.
It's like Chu Xiaxing can comment on Xu Xiancheng, but when Chu Xiaxing becomes Chu Xiaxin, she no longer has the power to direct Xu Xiancheng, and will be criticized instead.
The world only values ​​the prestige carried by her body, and actually doesn't care about her under her body, so she loses interest in understanding, and the so-called understanding is only the interpretation of the label of her skin. Her gender, age, profession, achievement, fame, and status were studied frantically, and she couldn't recognize her when she changed her skin.
Xie Zhaoyan and others knew that Chu Xia Xing was Chu Xia Xing, and they fully understood her strength, but Song Wenye didn't know.
Chu Xiaxing had heard too many unanticipated voices along the way. The first time she heard anticipation now, she felt a little strange, and said, "Do you really think I can do it?"
She did not forget Yanchuan, but she knew the concerns of the world, so she never took the initiative to invite Ying, but she never expected Song Wenye to speak. She doesn't know whether she can do without losing her label and reputation, but he seems to have determined that she can.
Chu Xiaxing calmly reminded: "Even if you choose me to go to Yanchuan now, no one else can agree. You can ignore my qualifications, it doesn't mean that others won't."
Chu Xiaxing didn't naively think that she would be able to take over Yanchuan, which is why she hadn't spoken up all the time.
"So I said I would work hard to live for a few more decades, I'm afraid that Director Chu will not be able to climb high after he becomes famous." Song Wenye looked down and laughed.
He has always been like this, since he has found the right person, he can afford it.
Others like to use smart methods and want to do things with the least effort, but he firmly believes that he is better than people who think they are smart.
Chu Xiaxing couldn't help but ridicule: "I'm so self-confident, really wait for decades? Don't be afraid to make you lose money?"
Song Wenye calmly said: "Although Director Chu always laughed at me for being easy to be deceived, I haven't seen anyone know anyone."
Chu Xiaxing heard him so swearing, she was also easily infected by the other party's, and she lowered her head and smiled: "Then you really look wrong this time..."
Song Wenye was stunned when she heard the words, but she didn't expect that she would make a mistake of evaluating herself. It sounded like she wanted to retreat, and she looked surprised for a while.
In the next second, Chu Xiaxing showed a familiar and conceited smile. She raised her chin slightly and said with a high-pitched voice: "I actually said that I will wait for decades. Who is this looking down on?"
Even if she loses that prestigious label, she can still recapture it by strength.
Since the world only values ​​qualifications and fame, she will go and win all of them again.
She does not care about the applause from the outside world, but when she needs secular approval to help, she can still return to the peak.
"Mr. Song, take the money at home and wait. I will come to you soon. Don't be unable to pay for it." Chu Xia Xing'erlang shrugged defiantly. She even showed a provocative tone. And joking, it seems that Yanchuan has a winning ticket.
Song Wenye looked at her open smile, he seemed to feel the unquenchable vitality again, his eyes softened, and he responded, "Okay."
"Then I will wait for the good news and wait for the director to rise to fame."
In the evening breeze, the two reached a silent agreement tacitly on this lake and moonlight night.
Since Chu Xiaxing is determined to restart Yanchuan Film and Television City, the top priority is to regain his reputation, at least to prove his strength. Song Wenye may appreciate her directorial ability, but most of the other employers are laymen who don't know what to do. They only value the director's reputation.
It's like facing President Qin. Talking to them about art is meaningless and can only be convinced by what they understand, which is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Chu Xiaxing hadn't thought of "24 Frames of Light and Shadow" originally, but she suddenly reacted, and if she wanted to regain her fame, the easiest way was to defeat the famous. In the past, she could only accumulate slowly by filming, but now the times are different, and variety shows have amazing exposure.
Xie Zhaoyan and Chu Xiaxing met in private, but she wisely distanced herself on the show, and did not show too much enthusiasm for Chu Xiaxing. Xie Zhaoyan soon announced the theme of the second episode, and said gently: "The theme of this episode is also a classic element of Hong Kong movies. Please directors to shoot short films about police and criminals..."
Huo Xiaogang sighed: "This is the strength of Director Gong!"
Gong Zhan is a Hong Kong director. He has made countless police and criminal films, and the output is amazing.
Fan Ke was a bit guilty and muttered: "Wang Fengfeng's scene seems to have elements of police and gangsters?"
All directors participate in the program for their own reasons. Fan Ke and others are nothing more than promoting new movies. Of course, they will not grab the limelight on other people's home courts. If Fan Ke came to promote comedy movies, then there must be a show with comedy elements, and the default is basically the number of episodes with more Fan Ke shots. This is the case for the previous seasons.
However, the theme of the second issue is a bit vague. Xie Zhaoyan’s host speech says it is a classic Hong Kong film, but the movie "Wu Dao" to be promoted by Chu Xiaxing also has elements of police and bandit, so it seems confusing.
"This is because Director Gong lost his face in the last issue. How can you get it back?" After listening to the theme, other directors inevitably had speculations in their hearts, thinking that the program group deliberately pushed Chu and Gong to compete again.
After all, Chu Xiaxing and Gong Zhan competed head-on for the remake of "Man Ran." Gong Zhan went all out but regretted losing. He was stepped on by the young director. After the show was broadcast, Chu Xiaxing became famous, but Gong Zhan inevitably was muttered about it.
In the company, Wang Fengtian was also well-informed, and he came back to inform him: "I heard that Gong Zhan actually asked Shidi to act. This is determined to find his face..."
The second episode of the program is supposed to promote "Wu Dao", and Wang Fengtian naturally cares about the outcome of Chu Xiaxing.
Chu Xiaxing: "It doesn't matter, we have Hou Shenyue, isn't it just seeing the emperor."
Instead of being comforted by Wang Fengtian, he hesitated more and more: "Xiaohou's popularity is indeed quite high, but he is close to seeing the emperor, he is not an emperor..."
Wang Fengtian has a deep understanding of Hou Shenyue's acting skills. Although young people have made great progress, it is still daunting to compare with older actors.
Faced with Teacher Wang’s concerns, Chu Xiaxing is not good at saying comforting words, and simply throws the pot to his niece: "Ning Ning, you didn’t say that Hou Shenyue’s fan data is pretty good before. He should also have some awards, such as emperor. some type of……"
Chu Xiaxing didn't understand the awards of young actors, so she naturally kicked the ball to the young man Han Chuning.
Han Chuning faced the sudden questioning of the two big men, and suddenly looked confused and at a loss. She racked her brains and couldn't think of the "di" corresponding to Shidi, so she could only bite the bullet and stumbled: "...brother?"
Han Chuning: Dao Gong has an emperor, do we have a younger brother?
Wang Fengtian: "..." Why do you feel more worried?
