I really don't want to be red

Chapter 581 The ignorant and backward movie

On September 9, Yu Miaosi, the vice president of Xiazhou Film Association, was really upset.

At this time, she was sitting in the conference room, looking at other members of other associations, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Xizhou Film Festival is about to begin.

She is not very satisfied with the films that can be selected.

As the director of the Film Association who selected films to participate in the Xizhou Film Festival, she was really a little embarrassed.

It seems that they have grasped the tastes of Xizhou people, and the selected movies are all movies that show Xiazhou's poverty and backwardness without exception.

In the context of that era, it is conceivable that it was a tragedy.

But these filmmakers never thought about it, even if they don't win awards, as long as they can show the current Xia Zhou, why not.

But what gave her a headache was that none of the members of the Film Association present thought it was wrong!
We shoot whatever people like to watch, this is a matter of course.

But if this continues, what will the people from Xizhou and Beizhou other than Xiazhou think?
The label of poverty, backwardness and ignorance will be slapped on Xiazhou people.

Movies are the output of culture, and your performance largely determines how outsiders perceive you.

All the directors here are some experienced directors, or they are very successful producers, but this indomitable spirit really makes her helpless.

An experienced director said: "Hanzhou's films are being selected this year, and there is a high chance of being nominated for the Xizhou Film Festival. In recent years, Hanzhou's films have developed rapidly, and we are a little bit powerless!"

What's the matter?Is this throwing the error to the environment?

Korean movies have indeed developed well in the past few years, but the movies selected by others do not show the movies when Hanzhou was poor and backward.

Not the same as getting good grades?

As soon as you talk about it, look for the reason, why not look for the reason in yourself.

Another director said: "I think Han Hai's "Meteor Falls" is very good, and there is a high probability that it will be nominated!"

Yu Miaosi squeezed her fingers tightly.

The film "Meteor Falls" was specially filmed for the award, and it shows Xia Zhou at a backward time everywhere, which is the favorite set of Westerners.

The movie didn't even have a theatrical release, and there was no publicity, it was just for the film festival.

As the vice president of the Film Association, she is not omnipotent. A big company like Hanhai naturally has a selection quota.

She said indifferently: "We are facing a lot of competition. Let's not talk about Hanzhou's films. Although Fuzhou has not officially won an award at the Xizhou Film Festival, the praise has always been very high, and their directors have many directors." Those who are famous in Xizhou, I just want to ask everyone!"

"Do you want to export Xiazhou culture in reverse? Now in our theaters, when you listen to Xizhou movies, the box office will go up like high blood pressure!"

"What about Xiazhou movies? No matter whether it's good or bad, there will always be people complaining about it!"

"We can't make Xiazhou movies that show other aspects to participate in the film festival, so that people in Xizhou can also watch it. Our Xiazhou is different from before!"

A director said: "But Xizhou people like to watch backwards!"

Yu Miaosi patted the table, "Nonsense, that's what our movies have always given them. Now we need to reverse this abnormal thinking!"

There was silence in the conference room.

This is not an inherent impression formed in a day or two. How easy is it to reverse it?

And it's not something two people can do, at least they can't.

After spending this effort, why not make some other films to make money? He is making one or two participating films. Wouldn't it be nice for him to win an award?

We have earned fame and money, but as for the rest... what does it have to do with us?
Xizhou people like to think how they want to go.

Anyway, the money is in the pocket and talking.

Looking at the numb faces, Yu Miao Si really felt powerless.

The Film Association has a lot of power in the film and television industry, but it does not mean that it is omnipotent.

The transfer of interests behind it is intricate, and Yu Miaosi can only do her best on her own.

A director said: "Zhang Chenggong is the best at making award-winning films in our circle, his films should be selected and delivered soon!"

Another person said: "It is said that it will be delivered the day after tomorrow!"

The man nodded, "And Chen Kaixuan's?"

"It's also the day after tomorrow!"

Hearing these two names gave Yu Miao Si a headache.

Both of these two have been brilliant before, but when they are brilliant, they are always when they lag behind.

You have to say that the quality of the film is really good, but under the background of that era...

Anyway, she was very upset. The film made by the two had caused great repercussions overseas, and the ratings were quite high.

But the characters in it are ignorant and backward, with serious feudal thinking.

It really suits the appetite of foreigners.

At this moment, a young director said: "President Yu, I recommend one!"

Yu Miaosi said: "Say!"

The director said: ""127 Hours"!"

As soon as he said this, the meeting room immediately became quiet.

A director said: "Stop making trouble... A movie made by An Ran? There is only one person starring, isn't this movie a joke?"

Everyone knows about An Ran making movies.

There is no way not to know.

Last time there were two actors, this time it was even more exaggerated, there was only one!
There is a lot of noise on the Internet, and it is almost boiling.

You are not making a movie, you are doing something, are you playing with the audience?
Although I admit that the two-person movie last time was not a small movie and it was good to watch, but now you have a whole one-person movie?
You are doing hype on purpose!

Yu Miaosi also looked at the young director with questioning eyes.

The director said: "I have been to the shooting site twice, and I think this movie is really good!"

Yu Miaosi calculated carefully, at least this movie does not show those ignorant and backward things, it is said that it is a self-help movie, and there is quite a bit of positive energy in it.

In any case, it is better than those things that stick to the rules.

Yu Miaosi nodded, "When will the movie be delivered!"

The director said: "Just these two days, I'm already in the post-production..."

A grey-haired director smiled and said, "What's the use of post-processing for a movie made by one person?"

As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

It is true that a film about one person is also a self-help film, so what can be done in post-production?
I heard that the entire investment of this film is only more than 1000 million, which is 15 times more than his investment last time, but this figure is still too low.

A movie with this kind of investment has a high chance of becoming a bad movie.

Yu Miaosi was unmoved, "The film will be delivered, and it will be delivered as soon as possible!"

The director nodded.

At this moment, a director said: "Vice President Yu, this is against the rules!"

The selection of films by the Film Association requires everyone to vote and agree. Existences like the three major companies already have their own selection rights and are not within the scope of everyone's reference.

But the films selected by a small company like Chuangyi Pictures have to follow the same process as other films, and participate in the selection together!

Whether you can live or not, everyone votes to decide, it's not the president's words!
