Jimmy didn't completely fool He Hongwei and the others.
He told Yu Dong that based on the previous chats with He Hongwei and others, it can be seen that they all have great potential.
Now Chinese science fiction is indeed on the rise. In this rising period, the talents of the two of them can naturally be better displayed.
On the way to the restaurant for dinner, Jimmy suddenly poked Yu Dong's arm and whispered, "Hey, Dong, I have an idea. I'll tell you more about it after dinner."
After getting familiar with each other, Jimmy stopped calling him "Teacher Yu, Teacher Yu" and changed his name to Dong. Yu Dong protested against this title, but after Jimmy wanted to call him "Yu", he compromised.
.
Yu Dong glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you after dinner later."
Tonight, they had a buffet arranged by the magazine. They didn't get together. They all had their own meals. They could come and eat with their room cards.
After Yu Dong and the others arrived at the restaurant, He Hongwei stood on tiptoe and looked at it for a long time, and said with some disappointment: "Maybe we were late, and we didn't see even a single person attending the ceremony."
Yang Peng said from the side: "There are not many people in total..."
As he was talking, He Hongwei grabbed his arm and said, "Look, it's Director Feng and Sister Ping."
Hearing He Hongwei's words, everyone else turned their heads and saw a man and a woman walking over from behind.
The woman is Lu Liping, whom Yu Dong met. She is also a capable veteran actress. In the past few years, she won the Baihua Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Xifeng in "Old Well". Later, she also played the role in "The Editorial Department".
Story" and "The Burning Years of Passion" are two popular TV series.
Speaking of which, "The Story of the Editorial Department" will be launched this summer, and Lu Liping will be known to more people by then.
As for the man next to her, although Yu Dong looked unfamiliar, she could probably guess that he was Feng Xiaoning, the director of the movie "The Atmosphere Disappears."
As one of the few science fiction movies in mainland China, "The Atmosphere" has a certain exploratory significance. However, perhaps due to the tight shooting time and insufficient technical means, there are still many flaws in the final presentation of the movie.
These flaws are very obvious even now.
Of course, Feng Xiaoning is still a very good director. Just a few film and television dramas such as "Hands Up", "Zhu Yuanzhang", and "Long Sky War" are enough to prove his talent.
Feng Xiaoning and the others also saw He Hongwei. He and Lu Liping walked towards this side with smiles on their faces.
"Xiao He, you come to eat too." Lu Liping said with a smile.
He Hongwei nodded repeatedly, and then introduced them: "Director Feng, Sister Ping, this is Teacher Yu Dongyu, and..."
After a round of introductions, Feng Xiaoning shook hands with everyone on Yu Dong's side politely, including Yang Peng.
Then Feng Xiaoning looked at Yu Dong with a smile and said, "Teacher Yu Dong, I have always paid attention to your works. They are all excellent works. Especially the "Closed Loop" has given me a lot of inspiration. I have been thinking about time recently.
And space stuff.”
"Director Feng, thank you for your encouragement. I also like your work very much." Yu Dong said with a smile.
Seeing that the two of them were about to start talking nonsense about business, Jimmy greeted: "Don't stand here and talk, let's go find a seat and sit down. Let's sit down and chat slowly. And it's getting late.
Everyone must be hungry."
"Haha, Mr. Jimmy is right, let's sit down and talk."
Then a few people found a round table to sit down and ordered some food.
Their table attracted a lot of attention, mainly because of Lu Liping.
"Old Well" released a few years ago was indeed very popular, and Lu Liping, who played the main supporting role, also became famous.
There are not many film and television stars these days, and everyone knows each other, so someone in the restaurant still recognized Lu Liping.
However, everyone's enthusiasm for chasing stars was not high. They just watched and whispered from a distance. No one came over to ask for autographs or photos.
Lu Liping was already accustomed to such things. She drank water from a cup and didn't speak much, only listening to what others were saying.
After Feng Xiaoning sat down, he continued the topic, "Teacher Yu, I wonder if you are interested in adapting "Closed Loop" into a movie so that more people can see it?"
His straightforward approach surprised everyone else present.
"Director Feng means, are you interested in filming?" Yu Dong asked.
Feng Xiaoning nodded, "I do have this idea, but many scenes in it are technically difficult to realize. It's not easy to shoot a science fiction movie. I already experienced this when I was filming "The Atmosphere". I had a lot of ideas at that time
The scene was never filmed in the end.”
Hearing what he said sincerely, Yu Dong also nodded and said, "Yes, it is very difficult. However, I think that when shooting science fiction movies in mainland China, what is lacking is not only the technology, but more importantly, the lack of thinking for shooting science fiction movies, or in other words
There is no thought of making a commercial movie. We want to explore too many things, express them too deeply, and consider too little about the audience’s acceptance.”
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of others. The two young men, He Hongwei and Yang Peng, listened the most attentively and wanted to put their ears to Yu Dong's mouth.
Regarding Yu Dong's words, Feng Xiaoning deeply agreed, "That's true. Of course, we are gradually changing now. We are looking for a path that has our own characteristics and can win the love of the audience with other film areas. Now the radio and television are also reorganizing, and future development
Trends force us to make changes.”
Regarding the reorganization of radio and television, Yu Dong had heard Wu Changxin mention it before, and now he heard it mentioned again by Feng Xiaoning, so he was not surprised.
Hu Changqing and the two young men showed surprised expressions, as if they had heard some internal secret that could not be disclosed to others.
Jimmy is also very interested in this. He has decided to focus his career in China, so the development of China's film and television industry is closely related to him.
Seeing their expressions, Feng Xiaoning said with a smile, "This is no secret in the industry. The general direction of radio and television restructuring is almost coming. In the future, our domestic producers will begin to compete commercially with foreign directors.
If we don't make changes and find ways to retain our audience, our position will be eroded by one film after another."
Hearing this, Jimmy was secretly happy. If, as Feng Xiaoning said, China Radio and Television reorganized and introduced foreign movies, then Yu Dong would have a very advantageous position and would basically be ahead of everyone else.
