"Sister Ying, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would've been killed by these guys." Xu Yun shook his head helplessly. "How did you solve it today?"
Feng Ying unexpectedly shrugged her shoulders and shook her head helplessly. "It wasn't solved at all."
"It wasn't solved?" Xu Yun was stunned and looked at the door. "That guy is still outside?"
"As long as you don't agree to meet him, I believe he will sit in front of your office every day and wait for the Golden Man Award selection to end." Feng Ying said, "I really didn't expect Director Sun to have such perseverance."
Xu Yun frowned. Xu Xiaoyin was an actress that Sun Guantian groomed. Xu Yun expected him to do something for her, but Xu Yun didn't expect Sun Guantian to work so hard.
No matter what, Sun Guantian was a director who had won a few awards. Although he didn't shoot many works and didn't have any particularly popular movies. Other than a slightly bigger movie that caused a stir in society, he also slept with the actress who stripped for the movie.
It was a pity that Sun Guantian didn't put in the effort. He didn't enjoy the service of his wife for a few years before he was caught for whoring outside.
Now he was divorced and his career was at a low point. It seemed that he was going to collapse in all aspects.
The only thing that made people feel a little comforted was that he shot this movie because Xu Xiaoyin was the female lead for him. Although there were some big scenes, the movie was quite good.
This was Sun Guantian's chance to turn things around. He needed to support Xu Xiaoyin so that he could start from the glory of yesterday.
For this Golden Man Award, Sun Guantian put in a lot of effort, but the most important thing was Xu Yun.
Even all the people who participated in the selection were staring at Xu Yun.
What fairness and justice? What about only looking at the work and not looking at the relationship? These were all nonsense.
Who didn't look at the relationship in this kind of thing? The primary school teacher had to look at the relationship between the teacher and the parents when changing the position of the student, let alone this kind of huge benefit.
Everyone knew the importance of Xu Yun in this matter.
Even though Xu Yun was a layman in this field!
Yes, he was the boss of Sky Entertainment Group. He was a big shot in the entertainment industry, but did he really understand the art of film?
Perhaps he was lacking in many, many aspects!
What kind of form is the art of film? In the colorful, complex, and ever-changing real world, how could they vividly reflect the ability of social life and vivid artistic appeal?
What kind of expression did this most direct artistic expression have?
All of this was unfamiliar to Xu Yun, so he was just a boss in the entertainment industry, not an expert at all.
But he had such a high status in this industry, so he had the right to speak. Everything was very simple.
When it came to the art of film, Xu Yun knew how to raise the level of his films by borrowing Goethe's words, "Art should never be the same as reality. Art cannot be reflected if it is the same as reality."
However, even he himself couldn't fully comprehend the meaning behind those words.
Most of Xu Yun's life was not focused on the art of film, including Zuo Meiyan. Their main focus was on how to run a company, how to run an entertainment empire.
True art required a true artist to study. Real film also needed real film artists to carry forward the art of film.
Xu Yun himself despised all the hype methods now, which would let the good things be covered by the vulgar.
How many good works, how many good actors were buried because they couldn't bow to vulgarity? Too many to count. People who weren't in this industry didn't know at all.
Even though Xu Yun didn't understand art, he still had some feelings about some shocking movies.
There were many movies that were good but not popular. For example, many years ago, there was a movie called "White Dog." If you searched the Internet, a group of Samoyed was even filmed in front of this movie.
There weren't many people who knew about this movie. After all, it was a movie from many years ago. However, to use a dog to express the theme of race gave Xu Yun a feeling of shock and awe.
There was also one of the best black humor movies in recent years, "Four Headed Lions," which brought novelty to the dull anti-terrorist movie, but how much was the box office?
In this era where a low-budget bad movie could sell hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office, this movie only grossed about 300,000 USD worldwide. It was speechless.
The prison movie "The Prophet," which was comparable to "The Shawshank Redemption," was the same. It was restrained, serious, and thought-provoking, but the box office was only about two million USD.
This showed that in this era, not many people understood the true art of film.
People liked the kind of fast-food movies that didn't have much depth. This was because people nowadays were really busy and under a lot of pressure. Who would watch a movie not to relax but to appreciate art?
That was why it was such a "grand film event." The art of Hua Xia had plateaus but no peaks. This saying was true. The box office was not the standard to measure art works, but it was the standard to reflect people's taste in art.
Hua Xia had surpassed the American Empire and became the world's biggest movie market. The noise of high box office could not hide the low quality of Hua Xia's movies. The content was vulgar and could not be compared to Hollywood.
In Hua Xia, it was different from the arthouse movies that were praised but not popular. Some movies with outstanding marketing and a mediocre reputation could always break through the box office peak.
For example, if European movies were to explore philosophy and the upper limit of what the audience could accept, and American movies were to explore systems and human nature, then Hua Xia movies were to explore the bottom line and see who dared to touch the bottom line more!
The three platforms of film art creation, scriptwriter, actor, and output.
What did Hua Xia have now? Other than being a scriptwriter and director, who would know who you were if you were just a scriptwriter?
What was the price of a scriptwriter? What was the price of an actor? The difference between heaven and earth made people speechless. Many foreigners did not understand this because in the eyes of others, without a good script, actors could not do anything!
But in Hua Xia, it was the complete opposite. As long as there was an actor with better marketing, as long as more people knew the actor, everything would not be a problem!
An actor could even support the entire box office, no matter how bad the movie was! In Hua Xia, it was such a simple thing. In the past year, One Awkward and One Hero had performed this to the extreme!
It was all too crazy.
Unfortunately, the expert award of the Golden Man Awards like Hua Xia needed Xu Yun, who did not know much about film art, to evaluate it.
Don't you think it's funny?
It was really too funny. Xu Yun himself felt that he was especially funny. He could not understand why people would make such a choice that he could not understand.
This was something that Xu Yun could not understand.
But no one could change this kind of thing. This was the status quo that could not be changed.
Many times, Xu Yun thought about a question. Who was the person who came up with all these things that made all of this so unreasonable?
"Director Sun's skin is really too thick. It's meaningless no matter how much I say," Feng Ying said. Feng Ying said, "At the moment, I'm afraid you're the only one who can make him leave obediently."
Xu Yun grinned. There was really no other way. "Alright, I'll go."
