At this time, the president of the Performing Arts Association, teacher Chen Daoming, said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao has now become an international superstar and a great director. I don't need to say more about his influence."

"In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no one can reach his level. If he is unable to join the association due to some personal grudges, and if word spreads outside, what prestige will our Directors Association have?"

Mr. Li Shaohong, the president of the Directors Guild, also said: "There are already many people on the Internet who have criticized Zhang Xiao for not attending the commendation meeting. As the president, I feel that this problem must be solved today."

"Director Zhang, Director Chen, what do you two think?"

This naturally refers to Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they are the pinnacle figures of Chinese directors.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "I have worked with Zhang Xiao. I feel very good about this young man. His acting skills are even more impressive and he is extremely dedicated."

"As for what Director Chen said about his disrespect for his elders, neither I nor the other actors on the "Hero" crew felt it. Otherwise, Li Liangjie would not have become a lifelong friend with him."

Chen Kaige also smiled and said: "Director Zhang and I have similar opinions. Some time ago, Zhang Xiao guest-starred as Li Bai in my movie, and then we met again in a variety show."

"If I were to evaluate him, I would say that he is a young man who is talented, generous, and extremely dedicated to performing."

These two directors, who stand at the top of the Chinese entertainment industry pyramid, both spoke up for Zhang Xiao, which made Chen Gang angry and helpless.

In just two years, Zhang Xiao has grown into a towering tree. If Chen Gang wants to deal with him now, it is true that he is unable to do so.

After Chen Daoming glanced around, he focused his attention on Chen Gang and said, "Director Chen, we have all heard about the grudge between you and Zhang Xiao. He is disrespectful to you for a reason."

"As the vice-president of the Directors Guild, I think it's better not to neglect public affairs for personal reasons."

After hearing this, Chen Gang pondered for a while and said, "Then the old rules will be followed. All members will vote to resolve the matter."

However, at this time, Li Shaohong, the president of the Directors Association, said: "This time it is not all members, but only the twenty-three of us. The voting issue is not Zhang Xiao's admission to the association, but his appointment as vice chairman."

Long question.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang's face instantly darkened. He looked at Li Shaohong and said, "President Li, you mean that he must join the association regardless of whether we vote or not, right?"

"That's right!" Li Shaohong nodded heavily and continued: "I received a phone call from the Department of Culture. The original message was that in view of Zhang Xiao's international influence, the Chinese Directors Association must arrange for him to join the association as soon as possible.

"

"At the same time, the Department of Culture also proposed that Zhang Xiao be appointed as the vice president of the Chinese Directors Association. Now everyone is invited to vote."

"This~~~"

Chen Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he really couldn't find anything to say.

The Ministry of Culture of China has personally issued the order, who dares to vote against it?

Anyway, Chen Gang didn't dare to drive. He didn't even dare to give up his right to vote.

Even the Ministry of Culture has personally gone to hell, and it’s such a nonsense.

Sure enough, all twenty-three people voted in favor.

President Li Shaohong showed a bright smile on his face and said: "Very good! The proposal to appoint Zhang Xiao as vice president of the Directors Association was unanimously approved."

Directors such as Chen Daoming, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, etc. all applauded, but Chen Gang's expression was extremely ugly.

After the meeting, Chen Gang immediately found Chen Daoming.

"Old Chen, what do you mean? How did Zhang Xiao get involved with the Department of Culture?" Chen Gang asked in confusion.

Chen Daoming looked around, pulled Chen Gang to a corner where no one was, and said: "Gangzi, I'm not telling you, you are the vice president of the Directors Association, can't you be more open-minded?"

"After Zhang Xiao won the Academy Award for Best Actor, he has already been assigned a task by the higher authorities. Even the No. 2 leader in charge of the Culture Department knows about him. Do you think the Culture Department can let him join the Directors Guild without being in a hurry?"

Chen Gang complained speechlessly: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

Chen Daoming smiled bitterly and said: "Li Shaohong received the call during the meeting. I happened to go to the bathroom at that time and heard their conversation."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Let me tell you, three days ago, I asked Zhang Xiao to write an application to join the Performing Arts Association. Now it has been approved. After a while, the Culture Department will directly bring him an application for the Performing Arts Association.

Honorary President’s Hat.”

Hearing this, Chen Gang's body trembled violently, and he murmured softly: "I can't hold it in anymore after all!"

Chen Daoming said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao has donated billions to the Red Cross in recent years. He has built thousands of Hope Primary Schools and ear-hanging schools alone. The Department of Civil Affairs highly recognizes him."

"After the great success of "Wolf Warrior 2", he not only donated 200 million to the southeast military camp, but also overcrowded the recruitment board, making the military camp very satisfied with him."

"The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Oscar for Best Actor, and Oscar for Best Picture directly put him on the throne of the number one person in the Chinese film and television industry. The Department of Culture regards Zhang Xiao as their top achievement."

"The military camp, the Department of Civil Affairs, and the Department of Culture all look at him differently. Director Chen, tell me, how do you suppress him?"

Chen Gang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhang Xiao's development has been so rapid, but in just two years, he has been far behind him. The only thing he can use now is probably his qualifications.

Chen Daoming patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Gangzi, you shouldn't have cared about young people's affairs in the first place. With Zhang Xiao's character, I'm afraid the conflict between you cannot be resolved."

Chen Gang gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't even think about resolving it. Huh, let me apologize to a young boy less than thirty years old? That's impossible."

After saying that, Chen Gang left angrily.

Looking at Chen Gang's leaving figure, Chen Daoming shook his head and thought to himself: "This Chen Gang, where has he been in his life? Compared with the humorous yet majestic Zhang Xiao, there is really a big difference.

"

At this time, Li Shaohong came over, glanced at Chen Gang's back, and asked, "Director Chen hasn't thought about it yet?"

Chen Daoming said helplessly: "Let's give him some time!"

Li Shaohong raised his eyebrows and said: "Even if you give him ten years, he will not take the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Xiao and make peace."
