Since Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao have had a fight with CCTV, Zhao Benshan has taken over the banner of "King of Sketches".

"Red Sorghum Model Team", "New Year's greetings", "Yesterday Today and Tomorrow" - a series of sketches are widely popular among the people. While they are popular, Zhao Benshan quickly became the most well-known and popular comedian in China.

Lin Erchun and Zhang Guiqin were born in rural Northeast China and were the most popular comedy rhythm and burden of Zhao Benshan, and they smiled so hard that they fell back and forth.

After laughing, Zhang Guiqin couldn't help feeling again.

Although the content of "Hoursday Worker" is a bit exaggerated, it is based on life, and she has the most touch on this aspect.

Two years before entering the city, she was like Zhao Benshan on TV, with no acquaintance around her, and she was free all day long.

Now that so many years have passed, she is used to being pampered and asked her to go back to do farm work, she is worried about whether she can adapt.

New Year's Eve passed by the laughter of the Spring Festival Gala. On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, everyone was busy paying New Year's greetings until the evening was free.

After dinner in the evening, Tao Xiwu welcomed several guests at the entrance of the alley.

The lead was Lu Weijian and Xu Haofeng. After graduation, the three of them collaborated on two dramas and had a close relationship.

There are two people behind, both of them, the juniors of the three of them.

"Xiwu, no need to introduce Dalong. This is Cheng Er, our junior in the 95th grade of directorship. He just graduated this year. His graduation short film last year was a big hit in school."

The two people following behind were Fu Dalong from the 94th level of the Performance Department and Cheng Er from the 95th level of the Director Department. They were a little nervous when they met. Today they were here to "Worship the True Buddha".

This was said by Lu Weijian, and the two of them didn't feel exaggerated.

When we were in school, no one could see any difference. Now, Yan Ying doesn’t know Tao Xiwu’s family background. She is backing with Lin’s backer, and she has already filmed two feature films as soon as she left school.

The debut work "Video Hall" won a Newcomer Award at the Berlin Film Festival. The second film "The Taoist Down the Mountain" did not follow the film festival route, but it also achieved a box office of nearly 20 million yuan after its release.

The late 1990s could be the darkest moment in the Chinese film industry. There are very few domestic films with box office of over 10 million yuan every year. "The Taoist Down the Mountain" won nearly 20 million box office, which is already a huge success.

Especially Tao Xiwu is also a new director, which further highlights the value of this success.

As Tao Xiwu walked into the yard, Cheng Er and Fu Dalong couldn't help but look at the yard with their eyes. Lu Weijian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this.

He recalled the first time he came here a few years ago, and it was the same as the two of them now.

"Xiwu, your friend?"

Tao Yumo, who had just come out of the main room, saw Tao Xiwu leading a few people and took the initiative to ask.

"Yes. This is my sister-in-law, this is——"

Tao Xiwu general Fu Dalong and others introduced him to Tao Yumo. She smiled kindly and greeted him.

"Okay, go talk."

Tao Xiwu led several generals to the guest room in the West Chamber. As soon as he sat down, someone brought tea and fruits.

Cheng Er thought this was a family member of the Tao family. He just wanted to get up, and his eyes flashed across the other party's simple dress before he realized that this should be a nanny.

After sitting down, Lu Weijian first talked about his experience at school. The people present were all alumni, and his alma mater was a natural common topic.

After a while of chatting, Lu Weijian took the initiative to talk about the graduation short film directed by Cheng Er.

The film is called "Criminals", which tells the story of the young photography shop owner Hu Tianzheng who was worried that he had no money to treat his mother. He accidentally picked up a huge sum of money. He used the money to treat his mother's illness, but he did not expect to cause trouble and had to go on the road of escape.

His film was favored by several teachers Yan Ying at the beginning of the script, and helped him find Professor Yuan Yan Ying.

Hou Keming, who has now been transferred to the position of deputy director of Yan Film Factory.

Not only did they solve the financial problem, but they also invited two well-known young actors, Xu Zheng and Huang Yi, to play the male and female lead roles.

After the film was completed, the movie was screened on Yanying’s campus, and received unanimous praise from all teachers and students. It was even hailed as Yanying’s best graduation short film to date.

"It's no problem to win two awards in Cheng Er's short film at the Youth Film Festival. But it's a pity. In fact, the script of his film has the potential to expand the growth film."

Having said that, Tao Xiwu already understood what Lu Weijian meant.

He has watched "Criminals" before, and he is indeed well-made. If possible, he is willing to give his junior brother a chance.

"What are you going to do if you really want to expand the growth film?" Tao Xiwu said this.

Cheng Er was a slow man. He did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before he said slowly: "It's better to revolve around the protagonist Hu Tian. The short film is limited in length, and in fact, there are many things about Hu Tian that are not detailed enough.

His photo studio business was bleak, but there was still a lack of a conflict. The scenes of his girlfriend leaving him were too few, and the plot was not natural enough.——”

It can be heard that Cheng Er was well prepared. The new script inherited the main story of the short film and the details were richer. After he finished speaking, Tao Xiwu pondered silently.

The others were observing his face, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Tao Xiwu's hand fell on the armrest of the chair, "I have a good idea, when will I write the script?"

"3 months!" Cheng Er blurted out.

Tao Xiwu nodded, "Okay, we'll vote!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Er's face was filled with joy.

Although he was born in the Director Department of Yanying, there are more students from the Director Department of Yanying. Most of them are engaged in film and television majors, but there are not only one ten people who truly become film directors and direct independently.

Moreover, most of these people get the opportunity after graduation many years.

He graduated last summer and had the opportunity to direct feature films the following year. Not to mention among Yanying graduates, even looking at the entire domestic film and television industry, it is rare.

Lu Weijian laughed and said, "I said there is definitely no problem!"

Cheng Er politely thanked Tao Xiwu, and Tao Xiwu said in harmony: "It's far away to say thank you. You are Yan Ying's junior brother, you are very capable and have the right opportunity. We naturally have to cooperate."

His gentle attitude makes people feel happy.

The success of "Video Hall" earned nearly 4 million yuan for Tao Xiwu. Lin Chaoyang agreed to leave the money for him as the start-up capital for his business, so Tao Xiwu established Montage Film in Yanjing at the end of the previous year.

He holds 90% of the company's shares, while Lu Weijian and Xu Haofeng each hold 5%.

The first film is "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain". The total investment of the film is 3.2 million, Montage invested 2.2 million, Yan Film Studio invested 1 million, and Lin's Film Company is responsible for the distribution.

Finally, the box office in mainland China was 19.45 million yuan, plus the release of Xiangjiang and the sale of some overseas copyrights in the past few months,

"The Taoist Down the Mountain" brought more than 6 million yuan in net profit to Montage Film.

For a freshman film company, such results are already very outstanding.

After two consecutive movies were successful, the company's funds became abundant, and Tao Xiwu's ambitions also expanded, intending to expand the company's production scale.

Seeing that Cheng Er was so relaxed, he got the opportunity to invest and direct. Fu Dalong, who had been sitting aside for a long time, was full of envy.

At this time, Lu Weijian said, "How about the actors in the new film use Dalong?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Er was a little hesitant, and the short version of "Criminals" used Xu Zheng.

Xu Pie's performance in the film is very good, which suits the characters. The two of them are working together first, so Cheng Er still hopes to use Xu Feng as the male lead in his heart.

Seeing him hesitating, Tao Xiwu said, "I heard from the director of the actors. If Dalong has a suitable role, he will take part. It doesn't matter if he is not. If the company starts a show in the future, there will always be a suitable opportunity."

Fu Dalong's eyes were filled with joy when he heard this. He waited for a long time and was waiting for this sentence.

He was a child star and performed very well during his studies at Yan Ying, graduating with the first place in his major.

Unfortunately, when he became an adult, his performance when he was a child and at school did not help him much.

More than a year after graduation, he played a supporting role in "Young Bao Qingtian", and is currently in a state of no play to play.

This year is really a waste of worship!

After talking about the main business, Tao Xiwu arranged to invite a few people to dinner.

It is definitely not suitable to have a meal at Xiaoliubu, so he simply led a few people and planned to go out.

Before he could get out of the hospital, he ran into Zhang Yimou head-on.

"Director Zhang, happy New Year!" Tao Xiwu greeted Zhang Yimou politely.

"Xiwu, happy New Year, what are you doing?" Zhang Yimou replied with a happy look.

"Go to have dinner with a few classmates. By the way, congratulations on the bid for the Olympics-."

Tao Xiwu was interrupted by Zhang Yimou's wave of his hand, "It's not decided yet, I dare not say that."

"You're holding a handful and pinching it!"

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Yimou entered the yard, Tao Xiwu and others went out,

"Xiwu, what is the "Bid for the Olympic Games" you just told Director Zhang?" Lu Weijian asked.

Tao Xiwu hesitated for a moment, "Don't talk about it!"

It would be fine if he didn't give him any advice, but the few people immediately became energetic for this advice.

"Don't worry, we will definitely not talk about it." The few people promised confidently.

"Isn't Yanjing going to bid for the Olympics again this time? I'm going to shoot a TV promotional video for the Olympics bid. If nothing unexpected happens, Director Zhang should be the director."

In 1993, Yanjing failed to apply for the Olympics for the first time, and made a comeback five years later. In 1998, ZY decided to let Yanjing bid for the 2008 Olympics.

On April 7 last year, Yanjing City officially submitted an application to the International Olympic Committee.

Shooting a promotional film for the Olympics does not have any bonus to a director's artistic creation itself, but this represents official recognition and can be regarded as a glory.

After hearing Tao Xiwu's explanation, the few people couldn't help but show envy.
Chapter completed!
