Chapter 197 - The Air of a Big Shot
Chapter 197: The Air of a Big Shot
Director Chen said, “How should I put it? I felt the same way before.
“Before my first work was released, I was doubted and slandered. I also faced changes and even retakes. At that time, I was very proud of my work, but I also suffered a lot of embarrassment.
“Now, there will definitely be a lot of people who will support my work whenever I release something. However, I know that many of them actually don’t even know what story I’m telling; they support me because they know that I’m promoting artistic thought. I’m very thankful to the people who support me online, and I’m also very thankful to those who truly understand me. Without all of you, I wouldn’t be here today. Thank you, everyone!”
When he finished speaking, Director Chen even got up and bowed carefully to the audience behind him.
He was already in his sixties, and was dressed in a relaxed, light-colored suit. He had a slightly plump figure, an amiable smile, and squinty eyes, and gave off the feeling of a mischievous old man. Everyone sighed in admiration from the bottom of their hearts. This was the air of a big shot!
“That’s right, that’s right.”
On the side, Director Qiu couldn’t help but add, “Speaking of which, no one pays much attention to your debut film. After all, you’re a newbie then. If you fail, so be it. Worst comes to worst, you just have to start all over again. Once you become famous, however, failure is no longer that simple. So, you have no choice but to grasp the audience’s psyche at all times. Your works can’t be inferior; otherwise, you might be labeled as someone who has fallen off the pedestal or a lousy film maker.
“Saying that we’re spreading culture is putting it nicely, but it’s actually just racking your brain to resonate more with viewers.”
As Director Qiu spoke, he sighed softly.
He must have suffered a lot.
The host, Xu Xuan, took the opportunity to say, “It looks like the directors have experienced a lot. But now, the hard times are over and the good times have come. Currently, Director Chen and Director Qiu are absolutely unshakeable in the current entertainment industry, and the younger generation is indeed formidable!”
As expected of the most savvy host; Xu Xuan talked up the three individuals and successfully lightened the mood at the same time.
Then, Xu Xuan turned his head and asked Qi Yan, “Director Qi, is there anything you want to add?”
Since the three directors had already spoken, the fourth director naturally couldn’t be ignored.
Xu Xuan asked the question politely, but Qi Yan inexplicably felt nervous.
She was already wringing her hands together, and her expression was ugly. She struggled to remain calm as she spoke.
