Chapter 392: Great Responsibility
"Me, the president of the film festival?"
Although Zhou Yiyang had long known that Ning Mang was very energetic, he never expected that the first opportunity this man gave him was to ask him to be the chairman of the film festival.
Isn't this step a little too big...
Facing Zhou Yiyang's disbelieving look, Ning Mang laughed subconsciously.
"Old Zhou, I think you may not know much about the fit film exhibition." Ning Mang glanced at Zhou Yiyang's untouched cup of tea and silently poured him a new cup.
Zhou Yiyang was also very knowledgeable. He took a sip of tea and found it was indeed good tea.
"For us filmmakers, it is just a rising star. To be more precise, among us young filmmakers."
Zhou Yiyang kept nodding, he knew what Ning Mang was going to say.
"Compared to Sanjin, the vast majority of audiences across the country have never even heard of it. Even the actors in the industry don't know much about it, and even fewer are willing to come."
"Yes, I know." Zhou Yiyang smiled: "But in my heart, it still holds a lot of weight. It is indeed contributing to our country's film industry, discovering and transporting outstanding young filmmakers.
"
"I know that you have always been very conscious." Ning Mang sighed: "But other people are not like you. Our film festival has been running for three years, and we have always been confined to a small circle. The outside world can't see it at all.
No. Our original intention was to discover new filmmakers, but what happens after we discover them? Still no one has seen them, and they still have no films made."
"So you hope that as this year's chairman, I can bring traffic to you?" Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows.
"That's about it." Ning Mang scratched his head: "I think it's mainly because you have a lot of ideas and know everything. Maybe you can introduce new things to our film festival and change the current situation?"
"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try!"
Being modest is humility, but given such a rare opportunity, Zhou Yiyang would not push it away.
It's just that he only has one month now, so it's unclear how much changes he can make.
The fit film festivals in this world seem a lot immature. There are few awards, not many participants, and as Ning Mang said just now, there are very few stars here.
So many people don't even know about it, and capital doesn't pay attention to this film festival. Without capital, the selected directors will still be spinning around in circles.
Unless they are lucky enough to be spotted by a big director.
Looking at it this way, the Fit Film Festival really needs to break out of the circle.
Ning Mang was so concerned about this matter that it made Zhou Yiyang think more of him.
This guy really loves movies.
"But aren't you worried that this will make the film festival more entertaining? In the end, it goes against your original intention."
"It's not a lie if I don't worry," Ning Mang grumbled and drank a glass of water: "We can only hope that the judges can stick to their true intentions. As long as the jury can ensure fairness, I believe it will not become an entertainment award.
"
"Well, I don't want it to lose credibility in my hands. If I serve as chairman, will those young directors be unconvinced?"
"It's possible." Ning Mang felt much better when he saw Zhou Yiyang agreeing, and he was able to joke with Zhou Yiyang. "But I remember that your new movie is about to be filmed, Lao Zhou. It's better to go straight to the first version."
Shown at our film festival."
"You're trying to trick me, right? You want to watch my new movie as soon as possible!" Zhou Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth.
Joking aside, he was seriously considering this suggestion.
The filming progress of "Sunny Sisters" has exceeded expectations. If it is released during the National Day period, July and August will also be the time for the media premiere.
In this case, he put "Sunshine Sisters" in the FIT Film Festival to make it more popular. It is good for the film and the film festival itself.
Moreover, the process of the previous Fit Film Festival was too boring. It just introduced this year's new directors, everyone went on stage to speak and look forward to the future, awards were given, and it ended.
If we learn from other film festivals and fix the opening film, it will also make the film festival itself more interesting.
Looking at Zhou Yiyang's expression, Ning Mang knew that he must have listened.
"Anyway," he patted Zhou Yiyang on the shoulder and gave him reassurance: "I have sponsored the FIT Film Exhibition since the first one. So you can rest assured. You will be the chairman and no one will object.
.And even if you make drastic changes, I will definitely support you!"
"As long as our Chinese film industry can rise!"
Ning Mang's sudden increase in value caught Zhou Yiyang off guard.
But there is indeed a fire burning in my heart.
"Why do I feel like you've dragged me onto a pirate ship?"
After the two of them finished chatting, Ning Mang called his cousin and went to the restaurant to eat.
"Boss Zhou," Ni Junyan poured a glass of wine for Zhou Yiyang and said coquettishly, "Are you still angry with me?"
"No." Zhou Yiyang usually saw Yuesao and others as tomboys, but suddenly he met a girl who acted like a spoiled brat, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Then can you do me a favor?"
At this time, Ning Mang said unhappily: "I should have persuaded my second uncle not to let you study abroad. Look at you now, you don't have any rules when it comes to eating."
"Brother!" Ni Junyan snorted: "The tone you speak now is exactly the same as my uncle!"
"What's the deal?" Zhou Yiyang was amused by the interaction between the brother and sister.
"Can you let He Lianbei sing a song to me in person?"
"I'm not familiar with him," Zhou Yiyang couldn't help complaining in his heart. Ni Junyan really looked like a spoiled young lady. "And I don't think he would be willing. But if you force him to come, he will
You shouldn’t be able to refuse, right?”
"If you force me, he will definitely come!" Ni Junyan pouted: "But that would be boring. I thought, Boss Zhou, you were very familiar with the artists in the industry! By the way, I also like Yue Shao, they
Can you give me two concert tickets?"
"no problem."
In the following days, Zhou Yiyang stayed in the capital. After Ning Mang trusted him, he was really good to Zhou Yiyang. He took him to meet many people in the circle, and those directors and investors also saw Zhou Yiyang.
They were all kind and friendly, praising him for his young and promising achievements.
Of course, I also met some young directors. Those people were very unconvinced about Zhou Yiyang being the chairman of this year's film festival at first, but after Zhou Yiyang told the theory he saw from the great Kubrick,
These directors have changed their attitudes and believe that Zhou Yiyang, like them, is also a director with artistic pursuits.
In Shanghai, a car carrying the most popular girl group quietly drove into an alley.
