What did they say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant felt a bit helpless; during this period, Little Steel Cannon had already made her ask the Meteorological Bureau several times, as if the bureau could control the weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, it looks like I’m going to get scolded again this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite complaining internally, the young assistant still bit the bullet and quickly replied, \"Director Feng, the people at the Meteorological Bureau said that it will be cloudy for the next half month with localized heavy snow, and it could snow here at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon couldn't help but curse again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At any time, at any time, what the hell does 'at any time' mean? I want a specific time and location. I want to know when it will snow right here—in the place where we are standing—not some localized, at-any-time nonsense...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant kept her head down, letting Little Steel Cannon spray spit everywhere while he ranted and raved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could see that ever since Director Cao came last time, replaced a few producers, and reportedly held a meeting to point out some errors in the crew, Little Steel Cannon’s pent-up anger had suddenly flared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would lose his temper at the drop of a hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an actor’s performance wasn't good, he’d scold them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a staff member made the slightest mistake, he’d scold them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, because it wouldn't snow, he started scolding the Meteorological Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant also suffered the consequences, as if the heavens not snowing was the Meteorological Bureau’s failure, or the assistant’s failure to communicate properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant had no choice; she had been with Little Steel Cannon for several years and knew him reasonably well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon was a person who could be extremely emotional at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was in a good mood, even if actors didn't deliver or staff made mistakes, he could guide and correct them patiently, appearing very approachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he was in a bad mood, then one had better pray for good luck; he had made more than one or two actors cry from his scolding, and when he did, he truly had no filter, spewing all sorts of ugly words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insults were truly filthy, often targeting people’s private parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, when Little Steel Cannon scolded people on set, he also picked his targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant rarely saw Little Steel Cannon scold Ge You, nor had she seen him scold Li Xiaoran, who had collaborated on two films.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, when Ge You was present, if Little Steel Cannon started scolding, Ge You could appropriately talk him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this film, *Assembly*, had no Ge You and no big stars; there weren't many people qualified to talk Little Steel Cannon down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon sat huffily in the director’s chair, dazed for a moment, then suddenly frowned, looked up, and asked the assistant, \"Is today the Oscar ceremony?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, due to the time difference, the Oscars started at nine o'clock this morning our time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon checked the time; it was already past eleven in the morning. At this hour, the Oscars shouldn't be over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go find out about the Oscars and tell me when we have lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" The young assistant nodded quickly in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew’s lunch also had its own hierarchy; one could say it was clearly stratified, with everyone eating completely different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extras' meals were in a specific area, and one could only say they were enough to fill one's stomach; don't even think about taste. When eating, they either stood or squatted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff and ordinary actors ate the same food, which was certainly better than what the extras had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director, cinematographer, art director, lighting technician, and others ate the same as the main cast, usually choosing to eat on set, though sometimes they would choose a nearby restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When eating on set, there were special tents set up with tables and chairs inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the one with the most privilege was the director, who could have his own private meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Feng, where are we eating lunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant came over to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where to eat seemed like a small matter, but for the young assistant, it was a big deal, as it was part of her job scope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon sat in the director’s chair, beckoned the assistant to come closer, and asked in a low voice: \"Are the Oscar results out? Did that grandson Cao Yang... cough, did Cao Yang win any big awards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant shook her head slightly and said in a low voice: \"The awards *Inception* was nominated for—Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor—none of them were won, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon stood up from the director’s chair with a *whoosh*, a smile that hadn't been seen for days instantly appearing on his face. He ignored the rest of the assistant's words and said directly: \"Let's eat with the comrades on set today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he called out cheerfully to the cinematographer Lu Lei not far away: \"Let's go, Old Lu, time to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the assistant’s understanding of Little Steel Cannon, she could roughly guess why her boss had suddenly become so happy. They say peers are enemies, and that is actually true among directors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Little Steel Cannon usually only compared himself to Zhang Yimou and the \"great poet\" Chen Kaige. In the past, when Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had poor box office results, he didn't compare awards with them, but box office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had surpassed him in box office, he started comparing reputation and awards—although he didn't have any, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige didn't have any either. Everyone lacked awards, and their reputations were also terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is, I am a commercial film director, and you are all \"great artists\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon was very happy to compare awards and reputation with those two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Cao Yang, Little Steel Cannon had long since lost the desire to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing Cao Yang \"take a hit\" still made Little Steel Cannon very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't quite reach the level of malice; when the gap is large enough, it's impossible to generate \"malice.\" Dark humor is the true reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon actually had self-awareness; comparing himself to Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige domestically was fine, but he wasn't in the same dimension as Cao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just nine Oscar nominations—Little Steel Cannon figured he could only dream of that in his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few people sitting in the tent for lunch today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several heads of the crew were there, as were the two South Koreans. Among the actors, Zhang Hanyu, Liao Fan, Wang Baoqiang, Ren Quan, and Li Naiwen—the main actors with scenes today—were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Little Steel Cannon and Lu Lei entered, everyone was chatting and laughing, but once the two of them entered, the room went dead silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon didn't seem to mind; he laughed heartily and said: \"Everyone is here, right? Everyone performed very well this morning, so I’ve ordered extra food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone was even more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performed well this morning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone’s memory hadn't been tampered with, you, Director Feng, didn't hold back on the scolding this morning, and even told Zhang Hanyu that any random passerby pulled off the street could act better than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did everyone perform well this morning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the director said the acting was good and there would be extra food, then it must be good; no one dared to raise an objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director Feng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director Feng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon felt that everyone was quite happy, so he waved his hand with a smile. After everyone quieted down, he asked the assistant as if it were an afterthought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, are the Oscar results out? I remember our Executive Producer Cao’s *Inception* received nine nominations. That is a very remarkable achievement; being nominated is the greatest victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost blurted out: Some of our directors fight tooth and nail every year just for a nomination for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intention was to mock Zhang Yimou, who was competing with him this year, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and held back in time, as that remark might have \"implicated\" himself as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young assistant understood Little Steel Cannon; was he trying to make Director Cao look a little foolish in front of \"everyone\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wouldn't be considered looking foolish; even if Director Cao didn't win a single award, just nine nominations would be enough for domestic directors to chase for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Director Feng, you didn't let me finish earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understand your dark humor, but although Director Cao didn't win the biggest awards, he won five out of nine nominations. Director Cao’s *Inception* is the film with the most awards and is one of the biggest winners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the young assistant fidgeted and hummed, her brain spinning fast, but she just didn't know how to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei was an understanding person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was from the 1978 class of the Cinematography Department at the Beijing Film Academy, a classmate of Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the domestic film circle, his fame was still very great; for example, he was the cinematographer for the famous work *Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl* by Sister Lulu, who loves doing her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cinematographer, he probably had seen Sister Lulu’s youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the cinematographers for Zhang Yimou’s *To Live*, *Shanghai Triad*, and *Keep Cool* were all Lu Lei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Little Steel Cannon’s cinematographers, it was actually quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 1997, Little Steel Cannon made a name for himself with *The Dream Factory*, and thus, he had special requirements for cinematographers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was filming *Be There or Be Square* in 1998, he set his sights on Zhao Fei, the go-to cinematographer for Tian Zhuangzhuang before he was banned from directing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Fei was also from the 1978 class of the Cinematography Department at the Beijing Film Academy, a classmate of Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Lu Lei. As Old Tian’s cinematographer, he had filmed *The Horse Thief*, *Illegal Life*, and *Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Old Tian was banned from directing because of *Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch*, he also served as the cinematographer for Zhang Yimou’s *Raise the Red Lantern* and Chen Kaige’s *The Emperor and the Assassin*, among others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon poaching Zhao Fei to be his cinematographer might have had something to do with Old Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, after filming *Be There or Be Square*, Zhao Fei was favored by the great director Woody Allen and taken to Hollywood to develop his career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cinematographer, he successively filmed Woody Allen’s *Sweet and Lowdown*, *Small Time Crooks*, and *The Curse of the Jade Scorpion*, and then returned to China; Hollywood wasn't easy to survive in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon might have felt that these cinematographers from the 1978 class of the Beijing Film Academy were indeed awesome, and having tasted the sweetness, he searched for a year and found Zhang Li, who also graduated from the 1978 class of the Cinematography Department at the Beijing Film Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Li was a classmate of Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Lu Lei, and Zhao Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Little Steel Cannon’s cinematographer, he successively filmed *Sigh*, *Big Shot's Funeral*, *A World Without Thieves*, and *The Banquet*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhang Li’s desire to be a director could no longer be suppressed, so he went off to be a director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, as a director, he has already filmed *Towards the Republic*, *Military Secrets*, *Brothers*, and *Ming Dynasty 1566*, and the reputation is still quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Steel Cannon had lost another \"beloved general.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he probably already had a view in his heart: those who come out of the 1978 class of the Beijing Film Academy Cinematography Department are really easy to use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, while preparing for *Assembly*, he invited Lu Lei, who also graduated from the 1978 class of the Beijing Film Academy Cinematography Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei was a kind-hearted person who couldn't bear to see people in a difficult spot, especially young and pretty girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Little Steel Cannon’s assistant stammering, he thought the young girl might have been too busy to pay attention to Little Steel Cannon’s instructions and hadn't had time to find out about the Oscars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the famous 1978 class of the Beijing Film Academy Cinematography Department, they would certainly share information with each other in a timely manner regarding the film situation of Cao Yang, who was now the face and spiritual leader of the Beijing Film Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Oscars ended, Lu Lei received the relevant information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was infuriating was that Gu Changwei, that lucky bastard from their class, had actually won the Oscar for Best Cinematography again, which made everyone in the class so envious they wanted to strangle old Gu and take his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei had the same thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As classmates, who was really any worse than the other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a matter of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Feng, what a coincidence; I just received the news about Cao Dao's *Inception* at the Oscars. Cao Dao is also a leader of our film crew, and I was just thinking of telling everyone about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei took the initiative to take over the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seniority, fame, and had become famous early; taking the initiative to speak to Little Cannon wouldn't seem abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon’s eyes lit up. As a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, it was fitting for Lu Lei to say this, and it was much more credible than his own assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and tell us about our Executive Producer Cao's situation at the Oscars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon urged with a grin, looking to be in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei assumed Little Cannon was so happy because he already knew the news; Cao Dao was the leader of the crew, and this would urge the actors and staff to film well—perhaps they could catch Cao Dao's eye, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, it must be that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei first coughed pretentiously to get everyone's attention before saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Oscars just ended. Although Cao Dao's *Inception* received nine nominations, unfortunately, as the media analyzed, because of its nearly 8 billion global box office, the box office was too high, and it failed to win the biggest awards like Best Director and Best Picture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon also sighed pretentiously, looking very regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, he had wanted to hold back a laugh, but because Lu Lei mentioned the 8 billion box office figure, he couldn't laugh inside and it turned directly into bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei tapped the table lightly, his tone becoming somewhat impassioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although our Executive Producer Cao didn't win Best Director or Best Picture, *Inception* won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then said softly and somewhat reluctantly: \"...and Best Cinematography, five major awards in total. It is the film that won the most awards at this year's Oscars and is one of the biggest winners of this year's Oscars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why one of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Martin Scorsese's *The Departed* won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Film Editing. Although it didn't have as many awards as *Inception*, the weight of Best Picture and Best Director was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fi-five?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon had been all smiles just a moment ago, but now he was dumbfounded, like a Sichuan opera face-changer, completely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei secretly praised Little Cannon; it was a pity he wasn't an actor with acting skills like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Director Feng, Cao Dao's *Inception* won five major awards in one fell swoop; it is truly an amazing achievement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon’s mouth was half-open, his teeth bared quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head blankly to look at his assistant, wanting to confirm if it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't you say it didn't win any major awards? You call this not winning major awards? Five Oscar statuettes, damn it, that's five!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting, still acting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Lei felt Little Cannon’s acting was simply god-tier; at this rate, he would win a Best Actor award sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Feng is also surprised, right? When I first heard the news, I was also shocked speechless. We were all fooled by those media outlets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lei shook his head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shock wasn't about *Inception* winning five Oscars, but that Gu Changwei, that old bastard, had won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for the second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! Cao Dao is truly amazing; this is the Oscars, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has to be Cao Dao. If I remember correctly, this is the third time Cao Dao has won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, you could say that. So far, Cao Dao has won one Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and two for Best Adapted Screenplay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Dao is just too incredible. He has already won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director; this is unique among Chinese people. It’s simply unbelievable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most amazing thing is that *Inception* has a global box office of nearly 8 billion. The total domestic box office for the whole of last year wasn't even 3 billion, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was chattering, all of them sighing in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Cannon was silent for a long while, then suddenly shouted: \"Where are the extra dishes? Why aren't they ready yet? What the hell are you all doing? Why so slow? Don't you want to work anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Little Cannon stood up, took off his hat and threw it on the chair, and loosened the collar of his cotton-padded coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too damn stifling in here. You guys keep eating; I'm going outside to smoke a cigarette and get some air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he walked quickly out of the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once outside, Little Cannon lit a cigarette, took a few hard drags, then threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time it took to smoke the cigarette, he had made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't it just not snowing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it won't snow, then so be it. I had already thought of a way, but I previously felt it was a bit inhumane for the actors and staff to film in that kind of environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that I think about it, what humanity? For the sake of the film, everyone should be very willing to \"sacrifice\" a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he picked up his phone and dialed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me. Go and buy 20,000 bags of fertilizer. We aren't waiting for snow anymore; we'll use fertilizer instead of snow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the script setting, where many actors have to lie in snow piles, or even dive into them, whether the pungent smell of fertilizer would cause psychological trauma to the actors...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you thinking? Actors are paid to endure this hardship; this is called professionalism, understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you really want to blame someone, blame that grandson Cao Yang. Who told him to have such a box office explosion while winning so many awards at the same time? I'm jealous, I'm just jealous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am so envious and jealous that I'm becoming unrecognizable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3320,"2026-06-20T05:36:33.260Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e399f63170ca1836e5931417e2b5e903cb58bc03452ba8e7927efc4ead6bb483","the-academic-director-reborn-in-the-film-industr-chapter-352","the-academic-director-reborn-in-the-film-industr-chapter-350",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academic-director-reborn-in-the-film-industr-cover.jpg"]
