Chapter 1342 Zhang Wan's problem
Sure enough, as Liu Chang said, the show at night was really exciting.
But even so, Sun Peng's mind was not on the stage, even though he was sitting in the center of the first row under the stage, sitting with the president of the film school.
The camera lenses that drifted over from time to time made him feel very uncomfortable.
So when the new Principal Liu said something to him, Sun Peng responded absently: "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I mean, are you interested in becoming an honorary professor at your alma mater?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. Principal Liu continued: "You don't have to attend regular classes, just give a few lectures occasionally... Department of Composition, Department of Literature
, or directing department, it’s all fine.”
"Well……"
After hearing what Principal Liu said clearly this time, Sun Peng was speechless.
Well, if you take into account his current achievements in composition and screenwriting, it is more than enough to be an honorary professor in any school in the world, not to mention the Beijing Film Academy. And the few movies he directed have enough box office.
Now, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with giving classes to students in the directing department.
only……
Can the things brought here be considered as one's own?
Although Sun Peng would not be so stupid as to tell the truth, he would not be so shameless as to pretend to be false. If he really gave a lecture to explain the truth to the students, wouldn't that be misleading?
So after being stunned for a moment, Sun Peng quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Principal Liu, forget about giving lectures, let alone being a professor! I know my level very well, and I have to ask other directors for help when making a movie...
...Haha, it’s not easy to be able to do your own thing well in a down-to-earth manner.”
"Teacher Sun..."
"Okay, Principal Liu, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore."
Waving his hand, Sun Peng stopped the principal who was about to continue persuading him, and whispered: "Today's program is very exciting, let us continue to enjoy it quietly, okay?"
"……All right."
Seeing that Sun Peng's attitude was extremely firm, Principal Liu could only nodded helplessly and said nothing more.
On the other side of Principal Liu, a middle-aged man in his forties listened to the entire conversation between the two, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Sun Peng, who was separated from him, and fell into deep thought.
middle……
…
"Sorry, it's really too late."
After the party, when faced with Principal Liu's invitation to have a late-night snack together, Sun Peng naturally declined at ten o'clock in the evening. He was not interested in having a late-night snack with a man he didn't know well.
It is only right to go home and sleep quickly.
But just after bidding farewell to Principal Liu who was full of regrets, and walking to the parking lot, when Sun Peng was about to get in the car, a voice suddenly came over: "Teacher Bai, can you wait a moment?"
"Um?"
Hearing the voice of the visitor, Sun Peng turned around and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Director Zhang? You haven't left yet?"
"Haha, I'm waiting for you."
After saying hello to Principal Liu, the great director Zhang Wan walked to Sun Peng and said with a smile: "It's hard to meet again, how can I just say hello? Haha, are you planning to go back at ten o'clock?"
Don’t you want to find a place to have a drink?”
"this……"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's have a small cup."
Everyone knows the meaning of a small cup, so after half an hour and two bottles of beer, Sun Peng naturally started to talk more. Of course, the key to this lies in Zhang Wan's identity, the most famous and the most appealing in the country.
One of the top three directors in China. Five years ago, he was best at costume blockbusters. In recent years, he has begun to transition to other fields...
If you have to find a similar director, Lao Mouzi and Kai Ge are almost the same on earth.
Zhang Wan and Sun Peng, they have naturally met before.
Although they don't have much interaction, they occasionally attend award ceremonies or something together. For example, the two of them basically sit at the same table or in the same row. It's natural for them to meet and say hello and get to know each other.
To be honest, Sun Peng still admires director Zhang Wanzhang.
The rise of Chinese costume blockbusters can be said to be a long process. Twenty years ago, filmmakers began to increase investment in costume films, and they finally reached their peak ten years ago. It can be said that Zhang Wan, who is 46 years old this year, is
A character who must not be ignored. It was also his film "The Reckless Man" with an investment of 200 million Chinese dollars, which opened the door to overseas markets.
In the following years, blockbusters directed by Zhang Wan have always been the most popular.
Although Chinese costume blockbusters are declining rapidly, Zhang Wan has already established himself as China's top director with the four or five films he produced during his peak period.
At that time, he was only about forty years old.
Therefore, for Sun Peng to be able to respond to the other party's invitation, Zhang Wan's status is the most important. Otherwise, why don't you try another small director, or even an ordinary big director? It's 10:30 in the evening, and you don't know a person well.
Instead of drinking together with the director, he might as well go for supper with Lao Liu, who he also didn’t know very well!
Sun Peng naturally knew what Zhang Wan wanted when he invited him to drink.
So after drinking two small beers, Sun Peng, who didn't want to beat around the bush, said with a smile: "Director Zhang, I see that the response to your last two movies has been good! This year's one is a fantasy movie, last year's one...what's that about?"
With?"
""Black Eyes"?"
"Yes, "Black Eyes", the box office seems to have exceeded 2 billion, right?"
"Well, 2.2 billion, I can still make ends meet."
Zhang Wan nodded and said with a wry smile: "However, the overseas box office is only 400 million, so the final box office is just barely recouping the original amount... Haha, it is incomparable to your movie "Hero", Mr. Lao Bai."
When he said this, Zhang Wan's attitude was quite sincere.
This is not intentional to curry favor with the other party, and it is not necessary for Zhang Wan. However, he is really interested in "Hero" directed by Sun Peng. It obviously only adds some martial arts elements, why is it so
Popular? It can actually help the declining genre of movies find a new path?
In the past few months alone, three martial arts blockbusters with an investment of over 500 million have been announced. This is not fake news!
After chatting for a few words, the topic of the two naturally turned to movies.
At this time, Zhang Wan had nothing to hide. He clinked wine glasses with Sun Peng first, and then said seriously: "Teacher Sun, I have a question I want to ask you!"
"Haha, Director Zhang is so polite. Please tell me if you have anything to say!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Wan said in a deep voice: "I just want to know how you are sure that a movie like "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" will also be welcomed by European and American audiences? What do you think of the magic of China...or should I say
