My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 274 Re-screening just after release?
The jury members of the film festival are still composed of people after all, and people have subjective preferences.

For example, among the Chinese films that have been shortlisted in the three major film festivals, same-sex themes account for a relatively high proportion.

Moreover, the scores and reputation of same-sex movies on Douban are relatively higher.

People who don't like this kind of subject matter will definitely not watch it, and they won't care about its rating.

Those who go to see it are all interested in this kind of subject matter, so the possibility of giving a high score is naturally high.

In fact, whether it is gay or heterosexual, they are more tolerant of movies with this theme.

In addition, the three major film festivals must still have regional tendencies.

Although they are indeed international film festivals, they are very inclusive.

But after all, the Cannes Film Festival is in France, and the Berlin Film Festival is in Germany.

They still give relatively preferential treatment to movies in this region.

It is precisely because of this that some filmmakers have found one of the small "shortcuts", which is to rely on the company of the host country.

Lou Ye is one of the Chinese-language film directors who have been shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival with the most number of times.

He was shortlisted for the top three international awards for the first three times, all of which were in the Cannes Film Festival without exception, which shows that the relationship between Lou Ye and Cannes is relatively good.

His first three films nominated for Cannes were Purple Butterfly, Summer Palace and A Night Intoxicated by Spring Breeze.

These three films have one thing in common, they are all co-produced by China and France.

Although these three films do not seem to be able to find the shadow of a French company in terms of director, production and actors.

But they do work with French companies.

On the premise that the quality of the film is good, if there is a French company behind the film, it will naturally be more favored by Cannes.

This is a small shortcut. Lou Ye is not the only Chinese director who uses this shortcut.

However, the premise of being able to take shortcuts must be that the work itself must be of a good level.

"Spirited Away" is relatively simple and pure.

Regardless of the subject matter, elements and style, there is no trickery, relying on the overall quality of the work itself.

Facing the compliments and congratulations from everyone at the sketch rehearsal scene, Jiang Shu only responded politely, looking relatively calm.

This is not pretending, his mood is indeed relatively calm.

If someone else made a film that was shortlisted for the three major international film festivals, even a famous director would definitely be very happy.

Because they are not sure, after this opportunity, there will be another opportunity.

But Jiang Shu was not, he had too many opportunities.

As a time traveler, these things are no longer worthy of cheering.

Everyone doesn't mind owning things like fame and fortune.

But if you want it, you need it, Jiang Shu won't be so happy about it that he can't find his way.

And for Jiang Shu, winning awards at the film festival is not the purpose, the purpose is to let more people around the world know his good works.

But if you want to do this, you have to go to a world-class film festival to win an award, and the world will know you.

Even if it wins all the heavyweight awards in China, its influence in the world is extremely limited, and it may not be as influential as being shortlisted for one of the top three international awards.

In addition, after being shortlisted in the top three, overseas release negotiations will be much easier.

You may not need to take the initiative. Overseas distributors will take the initiative to negotiate with you, and they will have more initiative in box office sharing.

After a while.

Jiang Shu then received a lot of calls, some of which were to send blessings.

Some want to take over the overseas distribution of "Spirited Away" from him to earn some distribution fees.

After all, even if Jiang Shu lives on his own, he doesn't own a publishing company, so he must cooperate with others.

However, Jiang Shu definitely declined this matter. He already had a stable partner.

I have always cooperated with Song Chen in the distribution work. If this job is given to someone else, this old thing will definitely scream.

However, there are still some restrictions on the time for overseas releases, and it cannot be held before the Berlin Film Festival at the earliest.

In other words, "Spirited Away" must be released in other countries and regions after the film festival.

After the news that Chihiro was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival spread.

Many netizens who didn't go to the cinema before, or those who were not interested in animated films before, also became interested in this animated feature film at this time.

Many people went to Jiang Shu's Weibo to urge: Hurry up and launch the video platform!

In the evening, Jiang Shu sent a Weibo to respond to this matter: [According to the relevant regulations of the Berlin Film Festival, the films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the film festival cannot be screened worldwide or launched on the online platform before the festival. We can only Do as the Romans do. 】

As soon as this Weibo was posted, countless netizens couldn't hold back.

"Damn it! In other words, if you want to watch this movie, you have to wait another two months!"

"I knew I was going to the cinema, but I felt a big loss if I didn't watch it!"

"I didn't like animated movies at first, but now I want to see them [crying]"

"Haha! I made money by watching it earlier!"

"Highly recommend rewatching!!"

"It was released yesterday and is being re-screened today. Do you want to do this!"

"It's not a joke, hurry up and re-screen it! At least tens of millions more box office can be collected!"

"..."

These audiences who want to watch now are actually a bit helpless.

The popularity of this movie was so high and the reputation was so good before, but they couldn't let them enter the cinema.

Now that it's shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, they want to see it.

This also shows that the three major film festivals do have a high status in the hearts of many viewers.

As long as it can be shortlisted, many people will watch it with admiration.

As for the tens of millions of box office for the re-screening... First of all, the country has relevant regulations, and it is not possible to re-screen if you want to.

Secondly, even if it can be re-screened, Jiang Shu has no interest now.

Although it is possible to increase the number one box office record in film history, it is not necessary.

Because in a few days, a certain movie of mine in the future will break this record again. It doesn't make any practical sense whether Qianxun has tens of millions more.

As for watching pirated copies, the relevant state authorities are indeed very strict on film copyright management.

As long as the higher-ups really want to manage it, they can manage it. It depends on whether they want to contribute.

It's really not easy for netizens nowadays to find Chihiro's pirated content.

At least from some websites or some magnet links, there are no results.

Of course, these are limited to new movies during or just after release.

It is indeed much easier to find pirated copies of some old movies.

It may be that the cost of piracy of these movies is not proportional to the benefit.

However, netizens have put the topic of "begging for a rerun of Spirited Away" to the top of the hot search.

"Father! I beg you to rerun it!"

"Brother Jiang, give me a chance to contribute to the box office!"

"Brother Jiang, wouldn't it be good to make another tens of millions at the box office?"

"I didn't go to see it for more than two months after it was released, but now I'm ashamed to call it, it's almost done!"

"..."

In fact, the country has strict regulations on the re-screening of movies: at least two years after they are released, they can be re-screened again.

"Spirited Away" has only been released for one day, and it obviously does not meet the standards.

Even if Jiang Shu is very special, it is impossible for the higher ups to open this back door for him.

The vast majority of netizens obviously don't know the country's restrictions on re-screening movies.

The few voices who explained the regulations in the comments were also suppressed by those who were emotionally playful and amused.

Jiang Shu also stopped talking to these netizens.

After returning to the hotel where I stayed at night, I talked with Song Chen about the announcement of the overseas release.

Strive to strike while the iron is hot after the Berlin Film Festival, and release it in several important overseas markets in East Asia first.

In a market that also belongs to the East Asian cultural circle, the box office of this kind of movie will not be bad.

Especially the country of Japanese animation.

Four of the top five box office films in Japan's film history are animated films, which shows how big the animation market in this country is.

Moreover, Chihiro was originally a movie from the Wa country, but now it is using the movies from the Wa country to make money from the people of the Wa country.

In the previous life, "Spirited Away" won an international award and was finally screened in about [-] countries and regions around the world.

That was still 20 years ago.

Now, the market must have expanded to more than fifty countries and regions.

October 12th.

This year's film Dragon and Phoenix Awards Ceremony has begun.

Jiang Shu wasn't nominated personally, so he didn't have to go to the awards ceremony.

Although the organizer personally invited him by phone, just like last year, they wanted him to sing.

Jiang Shu saved face last year, but this year he really didn't want to go, so he declined the other party's invitation on the grounds that the rehearsal time for the Spring Festival Gala sketch was very tight.

But at night.

When Jiang Shu returned to the hotel, he must have turned on the live broadcast of the awards ceremony to see the situation.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has two nominees for best actor, You Ge who plays Master Tang, and Zhu Feng who plays Huang Silang.

But it can't be said that Zhang Mazi's acting is not good. In fact, all three of them have performed at the level of movie kings, but it is indeed a bit too much to nominate three male leads in one movie.

In fact, the three male protagonists of this movie in the previous life were nominated for Best Actor in several different awards ceremonies.

But it is a pity that among the three relatively high-value awards, the Golden Statue, Golden Horse, and Asian Film Awards, none of them won the best actor.

What pained Jiang Wendan the most was that he had won more than a dozen nominations at the Academy Awards, and he walked like a tiger on the red carpet.

In the end, there was only one award for the best costume design.

Their acting skills are definitely not a problem, but due to the style of the movie, Fa Ge and Jiang Wen's roles were performed with a little force.

Ge You's performance should be the best among the three, but he didn't get a prize.

But generally those who have won the best actor before, if they want to continue to win the best actor, the requirements will indeed be higher.

In particular, Ge You won the Cannes Best Actor in 1994 with "To Live", and this is the only Cannes Best Actor in the mainland so far.

In addition, there is a Cannes actor Tony Leung in Hong Kong, whose work is "In the Mood for Love" directed by Sunglasses King in 2000.

According to this logic, You Ge's chance of winning Best Actor today is not great, because he has already won the heavyweight Best Actor twice.

Zhu Feng has never won a Best Actor yet, only won a few Best Supporting Actors, he must be more likely to win the award.

But in the end, Jiang Shu was disappointed, neither of them got the best actor, nor did they get the best female supporting role.

In the end, only two awards with average public attention were given, the best sound effect and the best shape design.

These awards are very accidental, and no one knows what the judging criteria are.

There are only two possibilities, either it is subjective preference, if you like it, you will give it to you, if you don't like it, you can't.

Either there is the intervention of capital forces.

Jiang Shu didn't understand the reason, he was really more Buddhist about these things...except for using a relationship once for Shi Ran's behind-the-scenes.

Is it because the actress gave me the "Love Letter" last year, and this year I will balance it out, so I won't give it?
Jiang Shu personally didn't mind this, so he won't let him down.

But these conscientious actors must still care about these honors, especially Zhu Feng who has never won the best actor.

After the awards ceremony.

Jiang Shu called Zhu Feng, comforted him, and told him that there were still many opportunities.

Jiang Shu is not talking nonsense, because he is the hero of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", so there must be a chance.

And these awards, sometimes as long as you can survive, it will be your turn sooner or later.

Just like Zhang Yi, he performed at the actor-level in "One Second" and "King Kong River", but the Golden Rooster didn't even get a nomination.

But when he did not play "Above the Cliff" so well, the Golden Rooster gave him the Best Actor.

If you really want to compare, Yu Hewei's overall performance in Above the Cliff is better than Zhang Yi.

In fact, Golden Rooster considered that "One Second" was not given to Zhang Yi, so he replenished him on the cliff.

Just like Sun Li didn't get the queen in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" back then, but later "Hot Mom" ​​gave her a make-up queen.

How much is some child's play.

Sometimes these awards cannot be taken too seriously.

On the Internet at the moment, netizens are arguing over the failure of the two best actor nominations for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Some disagree with this result.

Others said they could accept the result.

Some said they were deliberately suppressing Jiang Shu's works.

In fact, it's not impossible, after all, Jiang Shu's current limelight is indeed too strong, and there are many people in the circle who don't like him.

Even if there was, Jiang Shu didn't care about it.

I just like the feeling that they can't understand themselves and can't do themselves.

When Jiang Shu was about to take a bath, he received a video call from Gu Yaoqing.

Anyway, the two of them would call each other first after finishing their work every day and going to bed.

Jiang Shu took his phone and went to the bathroom.

"Husband." Gu Yaoqing gritted her teeth, and said a little arrogantly: "Can you not let me see your body, I won't be able to bear it."

"You can chat with your screen off!" Jiang Shu said in a puzzled manner.

"Hmph..." Gu Yaoqing curled her lips angrily, untied her underwear, and fought against the camera with fire.

Jiang Shu took a look, then diverted his gaze and the topic: "I'm going to Berlin in the next year, do you want to go together?"

"Can I go there too?"

"Tickets are also on sale during the Berlin Film Festival screening! Ordinary people can go if they buy a ticket, and it's no problem for shortlisted people to bring a family member to go."

"Then I will definitely go!" Gu Yaoqing said with a smile: "Just treat us as a honeymoon trip."

"..." Jiang Shu was silent for a moment.

Suddenly realized that I had never mentioned the honeymoon to her... It seemed a bit inappropriate.
