In order to accumulate capital in recent years, Wei Xun has basically been hanging around in commercial films, which has only begun to transform into drama and art films in the past two years.

Compared with domestic film festivals, international film festivals are actually more complicated.

The Oscar trial is still too far away, so I won't mention it for now.

For example, among the three major European countries, there are a number of places to be submitted for review in China every year. However, the directors of literary and artistic factions in the film industry do not bow to the box office and focus on fame and prize winning. To put it bluntly, they are actually just grouping together to promote their style, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter their circle.

This group of people is more difficult to deal with than commercial directors, and there are many twists and turns inside.

Take director Liu Qiren as an example. He is the core figure in the "Western" circle. Now the leader of the Western film and television industry is Zhou He, known as Zhou Ye, and is one of the leading figures of the fifth generation of directors in China. He holds the Best Director's Trophy in Cannes, is a judge of the Cannes Organizing Committee, and has also won three Oscars. As for domestic film festivals, Zhou He won the Grand Slam director twenty years ago.

According to the "rules", this year's Cannes selection and gift quota are from the Westernists.

Liu Qiren's work "Going to the Countryside" has been carefully polished for three years, and his teacher Zhou He also helped to protect him.

It is said that Cannes intends to invite Zhou He as the chairman of the film festival next year, but in order to get his apprentice Liu Qiren to compete for the award, Zhou He specially avoided suspicion and turned down Cannes' invitation.

Coincidentally, Wei Xun also set his sights on the Cannes quota this year.

No matter who the Film Bureau will choose to submit the trial in the future, after finding out the news, Wei Xun decided to build public relations first.

As for the rules that "according to the rules, the quota for Cannes is from the Westernists this year" is a bit funny in his opinion.

Because Wei Xun did not intend to follow anyone's rules.

On May 18, Wei Xun, who had been with Chi Tang's house for half a month after proposal, quietly took a flight to Xiangjiang.

It is approaching summer and the weather in Xiangjiang is very good.

After Wei Xun got off the plane, Wei Xun went to Wanfo Temple, Shatin, with the pick-up of staff.

The story of "Infernal Affairs" will start filming here.

"Mr. Wei, the media department said that you temporarily canceled the movie conference in Xiangjiang. Are you planning to keep it confidential?"

As soon as the car arrived at a hotel near Wanfo Temple, Zou Min found Wei Xun and asked: "But most of the filming of "Infernal Affairs" is an outdoor scene. When the opening of Wanfo Temple is revealed, it will have to be filmed in the downtown area in the future. Such a big news will definitely not be hidden from the media."

Obviously, Zou Min, who arrived in Xiangjiang in advance, had not yet understood that something had happened.

Wei Xun explained: "It's okay. You can just contact some media to let them film. Director Liu Qiren of the Western style is interested in submitting the Cannes Film Festival next year. Dong Zhen needs to cooperate with us in doing public relations in advance."

Zou Min was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She has been in the movie industry for a long time. What does Western style and Liu Qiren mean? Naturally, she knows what it means.

When it comes to the movie faction, it must be a bit tricky.

But then again, with the current strength of the medal, there is no need to be afraid of any faction that is not a faction.

So Zou Min's thoughts whirled in her heart and quickly said, "Okay, I will cooperate with Dong Zhen. Bai Qianchi, Zeng Wei, and Chen Qiuheng are already waiting for you in the hotel, and Mai Hui, the deputy director I'm looking for for you. Today you meet them and have a seminar. I will arrange it on the crew and you can start the film at any time."

There are four main characters in "Infernal Affairs".

Wei Xun himself wants to play Chen Yongren, Bai Qianchi plays another protagonist Liu Jianming. As for the remaining police officer Huang Zhibin, Chen Qiuheng plays the role of the gangster boss Han Chen, Zeng Wei.

Although Xiangjiang Movies has begun to decline in the past two years, there are also a group of admirable and amazing filmmakers on this small land.

For example, Chen Qiuheng and Zeng Wei, both of them are definitely actors.

In addition, Wei Xun and Bai Qianchi, if the media knows about this lineup, they will definitely go crazy to inquire about the news.

"The guard is here."

In the hotel, Bai Qianchi and two middle-aged men were chatting with a smile. When they saw Wei Xun coming in, they immediately smiled and recommended to both parties: "This is Brother Qiu Heng, this is Brother Zeng, you should know. The two, this is Director Wei."

Thirty years ago, Xiangjiang movies have become famous throughout Asia.

Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng, who came out of that era, not only had outstanding acting skills, but also had their two faces that were "everyone knew about it". They were older than Bai Qianchi.

Seeing Bai Qianchi shouting at each other, he could see it. Obviously, these two people are not only old but also have their abilities.

Wei Xun smiled and stretched out his hand, greeting the two seniors of the actors: "Brother Qiu Heng, Brother Zeng, I am Wei Xun."

"Director Wei is polite. We are just relying on our age to call you and Qianchi."

Zeng Wei is not tall and has a bit fat, but his attitude towards Wei Xun is particularly gentle and he said with a smile: "Compared with your achievements, you really make the two old brothers ashamed."

Chen Qiuheng also sighed with emotion beside him: "Who dares to think about the box office of 3 billion movies before? The key is that directors can not only make money, but also have a solid pen. After I finished watching the script of "Infernal Affairs", I told Zeng Wei that I must act in this movie."

The box office of 3 billion is indeed amazing, especially in a small place like Xiangjiang, which is a myth that will never be possible.

As the strongest commercial director in the mainland, Wei Xun lacks the most in box office and traffic, and this is also the thing that the filmmakers in Xiangjiang are most lacking. So when facing Bai Qianchi just now, Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng, who were a little reserved, were extremely polite when facing Wei Xun.

Xiangjiang movies have fallen, and these two bigwigs need greater resources to find new ways out.

Wei Xun and the Medal Media behind him, Panda’s ticket purchases happened to be envious of Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng.

Bai Qianchi looked at Wei Xun's happy conversation with these two people, and felt a little moved. Is it possible to say or the capital side has the right to speak? Twenty years ago, mainland filmmakers need to curry favor with these people in order to get resources.

I have to say that Feng Shui turns around.

The four actors held a script seminar, and Wei Xun touched some movie-related ideas with everyone.

In the afternoon, I took the time to meet Zhao Hui, the deputy director whom Zou Min arranged for him. He was very clever. Wei Xun had a brief chat with him, but he was quite satisfied for the time being.

Bao Qiang, Zhou Bing and Zhang Yu went to Hollywood, and the directors who were first cultivated by the Medal were all released.

Next, we will definitely recruit a large number of new directors. When Wei Xun transfers to Hollywood, there will be someone at home to support his family.

Early the next morning, the first scene of "Infernal Affairs" was officially quietly filmed in Wanfo Temple.

This scene is Zeng Wei's.

Wei Xun sat behind the camera, intending to take a look at the skills of this old actor in Xiangjiang.
