A different director [entertainment circle]

"Well, why do I see that you are being interviewed again today? Is your job going well?" Qin Yan's voice came out of the receiver. Although the voice was a little distorted, it could not conceal the worry in the language.

,

"It's okay." Xie Beiyang's voice was obviously tired, and he continued: "I didn't expect to be so troublesome with the work of connecting with the government. My mother told me to be mentally prepared. I thought she was scaring me, only real contact will know the various rules in it."

Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were chatting about the recent progress of the pond fund work.Although the ideal of Pond Fund is full, the reality makes Xie Beiyang haggard time and time again.

In July this year, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang ended their half-year honeymoon trip and returned to China in a low-key manner.Fans are still looking for the whereabouts of the two around the world, thinking that the two are hiding in a remote scenic spot, but they don't know that both of them are devoted to their respective next stage of work.

Although it is a job, it is completely different from making movies in the past. Xie Beiyang went directly to work on the pond fund.

In the first half of this year, Tenghui Pictures and Warner Pictures have already calculated all the income from "Born in the Silt" and put them all into the pond fund. The part belonging to the overseas market has been donated.

The preliminary work in China is also carried out in an orderly manner, including profit distribution, fund research, and organizational improvement... Fortunately, there are industry elites sent by Ding Chang and Xie Beiyang's mother to help, and even Xie Beiyang's mother personally helped out several times. Otherwise, Xie Beiyang's trip would not be leisurely.

However, the main work of the Pond Fund has not officially started. The most important reason is that Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, the hosts of the fund, have not yet returned to China.

The two played for fun, but they didn't intend to retire, and they didn't forget the responsibilities on their shoulders.

Originally, according to Xie Beiyang's idea, he planned to handle the fund work in a very low-key manner. Although he needed to disclose the operation of the fund throughout the process, he would never take the initiative to publicize it.

But Xie Bei Yang never thought that no matter where the charity activities are carried out, just like what his mother told him before, if the charity fund wants to be truly implemented, it must deal with the local government.

Although there are netizens across the country monitoring the use of the pond fund, and no moth dares to take kickbacks from it, they all regard the pond fund as a particularly important matter of political achievement.Especially now that the popularity of "Born in Silt" and the Pond Fund has not subsided, and it is the first batch of funding projects that have received even more attention. Of course, they will not give up such a good publicity opportunity.

Therefore, whenever the Pond Fund and Xie Beiyang went to a place, the relevant local departments would beat gongs and drums and make a big publicity, and their request was very straightforward, and Xie Beiyang or Qin Yan must come forward to attend the unveiling ceremony.

At this time, Qin Yan stayed in Pingcheng, and Xie Beiyang took on all the propaganda work alone.

This is the first shot of the Pond Fund. It must be played loudly and beautifully. The funding projects in several places started at the same time. Xie Beiyang wished he could master the shadow clone or mitosis, so as to deal with the propaganda work.

Recently, Xie Beiyang's life has not been very easy. In the worst day, he flew three times. He is a veritable trapeze.

The funniest thing is that because the fans found out that Xie Beiyang was in charge of the Pond Fund and knew that Xie Beiyang would definitely attend various events, they organized pick-up and drop-off activities.

One day, Xie Beiyang's first flight in the morning arrived at City A at 8 o'clock, and he had to rush to City B at 12 noon.So after the fans in city A pick up the plane, they don't leave directly at the airport.

They prepared double-sided banners in line with Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's call for "all kinds of support activities should be as simple and economical as possible".

The front of the banner——Welcome Xiao Beiyang to City A!

The reverse side of the banner——Farewell to Xiao Beiyang and have a safe journey!

Xie Beiyang hasn't shown up in China for more than half a year, and there are quite a few people who support him.Some fans were too excited and turned the banner upside down when picking up the plane. Among the vast "welcome", a few "farewell" seemed particularly abrupt.

Unsurprisingly, "Welcome and Farewell" became the headline of the hot search that day, and those fans who got the banner wrong almost cried aloud, and Xie Beiyang was on the plane or at the ceremony all day, so he didn't have time at all Check Weibo.

In the end, it was Qin Yan who took the initiative to retweet the relevant Weibo and said: "He asked me to tell everyone that he is very grateful for the pick-up. Next time, everyone only needs to prepare a banner, so that there will be no mistakes, and everyone can travel lightly. "

"Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their concern on his behalf."

Seeing Qin Yan's reply, the fans who got the wrong banner felt better.At the same time, the fans of the two are also screaming in their hearts: Can you be kind to single people!

Since then, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's pick-up banners have become less and less, and even recycled, which has become a good story in the fan circle.

Once, the black fans of the two criticized Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's fans for being too stingy, and they couldn't bear to make more banners, how shabby it was.

In the end, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang went off without waiting for the Buddhist fans to make a move. They didn't argue much with each other, they just revealed the amount donated by fans in the past few years.

Not much, just a billion or so.

At that time, the Pond Fund was already on the right track, becoming a domestic public welfare fund alongside "Meixiu", and it had also accepted donations from the public.

"If you want to do extra support, do it for charity."

Just one simple number is enough to make everyone in the country who is dissatisfied with Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang shut up.

The fans of the two during the whole process were like old men eating melons, concentrating on eating melons and spitting out their seeds, without even moving their buttocks.

This incident was quite a sensation in the fan circle. After all, in other places, fans end up defending their idols. Only here with Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, are idols end up defending their fans.

As for questioning the integrity of the pond fund?

Hehe, you are not questioning Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang!You are questioning the supervision ability of us fans. Do you know that our support club has professional audit and legal practitioners every year to supervise the operation of the pond fund.

It's not that I don't trust Qin and Yan, it's just to deal with your pink eyes.

It's fine if you scold me, if you dare to scold my idol/fan, then don't blame me for doing it.

Of course, this happened several years later. Anyway, Xie Beiyang, who is still a superman in the sky, and Qin Yan, who came forward to guide the fans, never expected this dramatic scene in the future.

And now the evaluation of Xie Beiyang on the Internet is getting more and more strange. "Obviously an actor but running off to deal with public welfare funds without doing business, isn't this messing around?"

Xie Beiyang also had troubles and couldn't tell. He could only get the Pond Fund on the right track as soon as possible. After all, many projects were the first time, and the Pond team didn't have much experience, so Xie Beiyang had to negotiate.

Recently, Xie Beiyang not only has to face a headache job, but also has to face various criticisms on the Internet. Even if he is as self-restraining as Xie Beiyang, his emotions have accumulated to the limit.

Hearing Qin Yan talk about work now, Xie Bei Yang couldn't get out of breath, he said: "You just have fun at home alone, and leave all the work to me."

There was a bit of complaint in Xie Beiyang's tone, the recent work is too torturous, he needs a channel to vent, and his boyfriend is undoubtedly the best choice.

Qin Yan immediately surrendered on the phone, and he said a little aggrieved: "You told me to work at home with peace of mind."

The assignment of work was indeed a decision made by Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang at the beginning. Qin Yan was going to help, but Xie Beiyang directly refused, because Xie Beiyang knew that the current Qin Yan was not suitable to appear in front of others.

What's more, the fund was originally an idea put forward by me. If I had to rely on Qin Yan for everything, I would seem to be relying too much on Qin Yan.

So Xie Beiyang decided long ago that he must not trouble Qin Yan this time.

It is natural that Xie Beiyang is making trouble for no reason now, but what else can Qin Yan say in the face of Xie Beiyang's petty waywardness?He could only immediately apologize with a smile:

"Do you want me to help you right away?"

Xie Beiyang said fiercely: "I don't need your help! What's wrong, do you still think I can't finish these tasks?"

Qin Yan said submissively in an instant: "I don't mean that."

"I told you to stay at home, so you stay at home! Do you do what I say? "

"Correct!"

Qin Yan answered without hesitation and with confidence, which made Xie Beiyang stunned.You mighty great director, can you show some airs in front of me?

Thinking about it, Xie Beiyang laughed on the phone, the laughter was very shallow, like the first green shoots in the ice and snow, Qin Yan's heart was instantly confused.He especially wanted to buy a plane ticket directly and come to Xie Beiyang's side, no longer to help Xie Beiyang share the work, but simply want to possess Xie Beiyang.

Xie Beiyang domineering over Qin Yan on the phone, the dissatisfaction and anxiety in his heart was finally relieved by more than half, and then he said to Qin Yan very seriously:

"Okay, you can take a good rest at home and do your own things, and I'll go back after a while when I'm done."

"Ah."

The two fell silent suddenly, but there was sweetness in the silence.

The reason why Xie Beiyang didn't want Qin Yan to help was because he knew that Qin Yan was under no less pressure than him, and he knew that Qin Yan was more tired of these high-sounding things than he was, and he couldn't bear Qin Yan to do things he didn't like.

Because Xie Beiyang and Chitang Fund have frequently held high-profile press conferences, movie fans all over the country know the news of their return to China.

Although they haven't heard any news about the new movie of the two, what they thought was that Qin Yan must be planning some super big move, and waiting for a while will definitely be a surprise.

But the fact is that they waited for several months, and Qin Yan still didn't show up, as if he disappeared out of thin air.

It wasn't until the end of 2010 that the media reported that the movie "Houyi", which Huayan Company had approved two years ago, and a new suspense movie "No Man's Villa" were about to start officially, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

According to Qin Yan's previous personality, there will be some movement before the filming starts. Whether it's casting, investment, learning, or crew, it's enough to spark a heated discussion, and everyone has already attracted monsters.

But this time the two films seem to have no Qin Yan's participation at all, especially the film "Hou Yi" is even more confusing.

"Hou Yi" and "New New Era" were listed as important strategic films of Huaye Company at the beginning, and Qin Yan was the producer of both.

The secret that Huayan Company had been trying to hide at the beginning has gradually spread - because of the technical blockade and refusal of cooperation by foreign special effects companies, "Hou Yi" has been delayed until now.

After all, "New Era" has been a success, Hua Yan's new generation of directors has proved himself, and Qin Yan is no longer needed to shelter from the wind and rain, so everyone can know the complicated disputes behind the movie back then.

To put it bluntly, the producer of "Hou Yi" is still Qin Yan, but the movie has already started filming, and Qin Yan still hasn't shown up, how can people not doubt it?

No matter how the outside public opinion blows and rains, Qin Yan just doesn't show his face.

Qin Yan actually had many practical considerations in making such a choice.As the producer of "Hou Yi", as long as Qin Yan doesn't show up for a day, "Hou Yi" can get enough criticism and attention, which is also a kind of alternative publicity.

On the other hand, Qin Yan really couldn't juggle so many jobs.

During the trip with Xie Beiyang, he experienced cultures from all over the world, met all kinds of human beings, and personally measured the vast land with his feet. Only then did Qin Yan realize that his pace in the past few years was a little too fast. He thought he was going too fast. Steady, in fact, has become quite impetuous inadvertently.

Qin Yan knows that in this state, he has no way to create a movie that satisfies him. No matter how good the final box office results and awards are, Qin Yan can't convince himself and can't feel at ease.

Qin Yan needs to spend some time to settle himself, and this is what he has been doing since returning to China.He needs to take a break from filmmaking.

The way of film goes beyond film.

The two films officially filmed in October can be said to be the first film made by Huayan Company, without the help of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang at all.Moreover, after Qin Yan has experienced so many disturbances, the outside world's attention to them must be like a shadow.

Under such pressure, no one can say what the final quality of the two films will be.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year has come.

In 2010, although Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were still the well-deserved focus in public opinion and the media, their existence did not seem to have much to do with the movie.

However, 2010 was a very colorful year in the history of world cinema. After all, the first 3D movie "Avatar" was born in this year!

And because the world's special effects blockbusters have become more and more popular in the past few years, the market promotes technological development.Therefore, when Cameron filmed "Avatar", his technology was more mature, and the 3D effect of the film was even more amazing than what Qin Yan remembered!

Moreover, the number of 3D screens required by movies, especially high-end screens such as IMAX, is much more. The global movie market has been full of expectations for "Avatar" since the shooting!

Sure enough, "Avatar" is in full swing in the global film market, and there is no single enemy!

A score of 27 billion US dollars!Cameron once again refreshed the global box office charts, even Qin Yan's "Earth Fortress 3" last year was not worth mentioning in front of "Avatar".

All eyes immediately focused on "Avatar" and Cameron. Hua Guo also contributed 14 billion Chinese dollars in box office, and it was also Hua Guo's annual box office champion.

In contrast, the performance of Chinese-language films was disappointing.

In 2010, Huaguo's box office nearly doubled again. This growth rate made the global film industry feel terrible.But the problem is that in this year's Huaguo film market, the box office share of Chinese-language films is far lower than in 2009, not even reaching 1/2!

It is true that last year there were "Fortress Earth 3", "Born in Silt", and "New New Era", which are known as the "Trilogy of Box Office Miracles", but this year Huayan did not have a single movie.

But this also proves the weakness of Chinese-language movies.

Such a data change has been directly called "the shame of Huaguo movies" by many film critics.

In fact, this is also a very helpless thing. Huaguo commercial films are relatively weak, and special effects films are even weaker.

So far, apart from Qin Yan, there is really no film made by a Chinese director that can be liked by the global market. It is even frank that the success of "Earth Fortress" is not unrelated to the original work.

"New New Era" is a particularly good example, directed by Qin Yan and produced by Hua Yan, isn't it also released overseas?

In fact, everyone is not particularly optimistic about the Huaguo market going to the world. This has led to the fact that even if Qin Yan's two films sold well at the global box office in 2009, not many Huaguo film and television companies are willing to shoot overseas works.

Most of the Chinese-language films released in 2010 were still based on Chinese stories, especially comedies and romance films, which have always been the subject of drought and flood in China.

But the question is, how do these Chinese-language movies go to the world?

Everyone began to call frantically, "Qin Yan, come back quickly, I need you to bring Huaguo movies to the world to kill all directions!"

"Qin Yan can get such a high box office even with "Born in the Silt", and it can be liked all over the world. Other directors in Huaguo tried their best to fool the audience. In the end, you don't know how the quality of the movie is. Do you count?"

"I've been bragging about my lineup all day long and how hard it was to shoot. I just want to see the finished film. Can you compare it with the world? Except for Qin Yan, there is no one in the mainland who can do it. director?"

Qin Yan also proved one thing in the past few years, that is, Huaguo can definitely make good movies!Although it hasn't appeared for a whole year, Qin Yan's works are still the benchmarks in the market.

There are also some voices who are particularly pessimistic about Qin Yan. They know that Qin Yan's success is inseparable from the subject matter of the movie.

"Qin Yan is indeed very smart, but his cleverness is nothing more than a little cleverness. He knows how to please Western audiences, and knows how to retreat bravely when his talents are exhausted. Now you let Qin Yan come out to make movies. He can make movies with Huaguo theme Can such a powerful movie be made? If it is made, I will stand on my head on the spot and show it to you."

"It's just the lucky ones of an era, what's there to brag about."

This incident became a matter of public opinion for a while, but Qin Yan seemed to have made up his mind, let the outside world harass you, even if you were beaten to death, you didn't show up, let alone responded to the controversy about the quality of his movies.

This also led to the growing voice of "Qin Yan's movies actually took advantage of the subject matter and special effects".

Some people tried their best to discredit Qin Yan behind their backs, and the fear of being ruled by Qin Yan in the box office schedule in the past few years is still vivid in his memory.They know Qin Yan better than any movie fan.

If the love degree of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's fans for the two is recorded as "1", the absolute value of these people's negative emotions towards the two may reach "1000".

Who would let cutting off one's fortune be like killing one's parents?Even if it only affects their money making, they won't allow it.

Facts have proved that no matter how good a person is, as long as he is willing to retreat bravely and hide his news, the market will gradually forget him.

Since 2011, discussions on Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have indeed begun to decrease, especially since the work of the Pond Fund is basically on the right track, and Xie Beiyang has appeared in public less and less frequently.

At least in September 2011, the news that Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang started classes at Pingcheng Film School only paralyzed the Weibo server for half a day.If it was Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's attention before, the related topic might have reached the top for several days in a row.

Qin Yan became Pingying's specially-appointed lecturer, responsible for teaching the basic theories of directors and screenwriters.Xie Beiyang is in charge of teaching acting classes.

The two are only specially-appointed lecturers, and they go to the school to give lectures about once a week, and they are all lecture-style lectures.

No matter how the outside world judges and belittles the two of them, in fact, every time the two of them give lectures, the hall is full. Many students sit directly on the ground, and the corridors are also full of people.

Not to mention how huge the industry resources the two of them have in their hands, nor how useful the content of their lectures is, the appearance of the two of them alone is enough to keep people's attention.

For several months, the enthusiasm for the two people's lectures has gradually faded. Netizens are all looking at the photos. They are not very interested in the film theory class, they just look at a face.

Later, some people even began to say that Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were playing tricks on their heads and showing off, and they were not qualified to be specially-appointed lecturers at all.

However, Ping Ying did not hesitate to stand behind the two, expressing their support for them. .

There are always caring people in this world. They sorted out Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's movie speeches.As long as you have listened carefully to the lectures or read their lecture notes, you will know that although Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang haven't made a movie recently, they have not let go of their professional ability at all.

Qin Yan vaguely revealed in his lecture that he was deconstructing and reshaping Chinese culture and Western culture.How to throw away some superficial symbols of culture and leave a more dazzling spiritual core.

As for Xie Beiyang's classroom demonstration, it can be seen at a glance that his acting skills have not deteriorated at all.

But what the two of them are busy with, no one knows.Except for the weekly lectures in Pingying, the two of them disappeared at all, but Pingying has always banned entertainment reporters from entering, and photos are becoming more and more rare.

Even the members of the XX forum are waiting to be fed every day, saying that if they don't see the sweet interaction between Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, they will die soon.

It seems that the entire market is quickly forgetting the two, and forgetting is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing for a star.

But this kind of life is what the two are pursuing, away from the hustle and bustle and focus on movies.
