The Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony was about to begin, and Su Bai and his group returned to their respective seats. As a crew nominated for 7 major awards, Su Bai's position was undoubtedly in the first row.
Next to him were a bunch of famous directors in the circle, such as Chen Banbu, Guoshi, Wu Jing, and some bigwigs in the film and television industry. Chen Zhacheng was also there.
Master Su Bai did not come this time. He is already the chairman of the Film Association. Apart from attending the Huaying Awards, he rarely shows up for many other awards.
Big stars like Da Mimi and An Xi were seated in the second row, while Nini and Huang Xuan were in the third and fourth rows.
The rules of the entertainment industry are very naked. Your status, popularity and commercial value determine your position. No qualifications or personal connections are considered in this area.
This was the first time Su Bai met the Imperial Master. This energetic old man stood very straight with a serious expression.
I have great respect for Su Bai. Even though there are all kinds of negative news about him, his talent is beyond reproach. Other directors, even the equally famous Chen Banbu, Feng Gangpao, etc., have to find some big names to make movies.
But the Chinese national teacher himself created a bunch of big names, not to mention the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that he coordinated. It really shined in front of people all over the world and showed the great power of our China.
"Hello, Imperial Master. I'm Su Bai. I've always loved your work and hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you in the future."
The National Master had heard of the young man Su Bai, who was a rapidly rising figure among the younger generation. He had thought that he would have some youthful arrogance, but he turned out to be quite polite.
"No, no, I still don't have a movie that has grossed 5 billion. The previous wave died on the beach. I also need to learn more from you!"
"You're embarrassing me! I took advantage of the subject matter and timing, but you have a film that's been watched by 6 billion people! And the artistry and experience of the great directors is far superior to mine. I still have a lot to learn from you all."
Su Bai's words really hit the spot for the Imperial Master, as that was indeed his most proud work.
Chen Banbu, Wu Jing and others were not ignored either, and they were given a helping hand, which made everyone very happy.
Chen Zhacheng was already dissatisfied with Su Bai. Seeing him getting along well with several big directors and chatting happily, he felt jealous for a moment and said in a gloomy tone, "Director Su is too modest. He is so young and promising, and the box office of one movie is more than the box office of several of ours combined. I'm afraid we all have to stand aside. We are the ones who should learn from him."
It sounds like a statement praising Su Bai, but it is too hurtful. Su Bai's humble and polite demeanor made the big directors feel comfortable. He is capable and financially capable, but he doesn't put on airs.
As a result, Chen Zhacheng's words put Su Bai in a good position. This is indeed the truth. Except for Brother Jing, who became famous through one movie, the others have been working in the circle for more than ten years, and their combined box office is indeed not as high as Su Bai's.
This made several people feel a little embarrassed, especially Chen Banbu, who was very concerned about his reputation.
Chen Zhacheng is well-known in the circle for his low emotional intelligence, narcissism and greasy nature. He can make everyone unhappy with just one sentence.
Su Bai was even more speechless. Is this idiot crazy?
I don't even know you, what are you comparing yourself to?!
Moreover, Su Bai's character is to use courtesy before force. Normally, he is polite to others. But if you are so mean as to think that Su Bai has no temper, then you are stupid.
"My box office revenue actually has a share from you seniors."
Su Bai's words made the Imperial Master Chen Banbu and the others look at him curiously.
"The development of domestic films from scratch is not the result of the efforts of one or two people. The fifth generation of directors, including Guoshi and Banbo, can be said to be the generation of revival. Without your excellent works that have gradually opened up the box office of domestic films, how could we young directors have the opportunity to rise?"
"Box office sales don't mean anything. They only mean our country is growing stronger and richer, and people's economic conditions are improving! People are also increasingly pursuing spiritual culture."
"So I say that the box office success of my film is due to the foundation laid by my predecessors. It is the result of many factors, not my personal strength."
"Take Guoshi for example. He explores the potential of film language, pursues the power of composition, and creates rich imagination and rich colors. The visual impact of his films is beyond my reach!"
"Director Ban is good at analyzing the constraints and influences of the burden of history and tradition on the human spirit, showing the complexity of human beings. The depth and speculative nature of his films are also what I have always strived to learn from."
"Director Gangpao...Brother Jing..."
When meeting with acquaintances, Su Bai would definitely make some insults to Old Monkey, but at this time he would definitely praise him. The key point is that Su Bai's comments on each great director were not superficial, but really touched upon their most proud areas.
Several big directors who had looked unhappy just now couldn't help but smile at this moment, especially the old monkey. After all, that bastard Su Bai had never praised him like this before!
People are like this. Take the great Emperor Li Er, who always dreamed of becoming the greatest emperor of all time. There were countless ministers praising him every day, and they were already tired of hearing it.
But if Wei Zheng, the eternal mirror who has scolded him all his life, praises him, he will feel happy to the core.
The same goes for Chen Banbu. He went from disliking Su Bai to gradually accepting him, and then to a point where they had a love-hate relationship. Su Bai's stinky mouth never said a good word about him.
