tearjerker director

Chapter 599 The director of the dog stabbed the hornet's nest

Many people know that when the movie is released, it is actually the busiest time for the main creators of the entire crew.

But these words don't work on Li Yi.

After "Paradise Cinema" was released, it can be said that Li Yi hardly waved the flag for this movie.

Looks like a buddhist.

In addition, the main creative members of this film basically did not follow Li Yi to promote domestically.

Therefore, "Paradise Cinema" has almost no road show or other publicity. It is purely based on the support of fans, which is against the previous publicity effect.

Although the box office of "Paradise Cinema" was not so "explosive"!
But it did not damage Li Yi's influence in the slightest.

No, all kinds of invitations came like snowflakes.

Li Yi basically handed it over to Yi Mingming.

But there are also some that cannot be refused.

For example, the invitation letter of the Xichuan Youth Film Festival.

It's not that Li Yi has anything to do with the Xichuan Youth Film Festival, it's mainly because there are too many lobbyists.

Chen Wen, Chen Weijie, and his own female ticket director Mu were all invited by the Xichuan Youth Film Festival.

Not only that, Chen Wen is actually the chairman of the jury of this year's Xichuan Youth Film Festival.

So it's really hard for Li Yi to refuse.

Xichuan Youth Film Festival is a very young film festival, but the development of the film festival is very good.

The theme and purpose of the establishment of the film festival is to encourage young directors to create, help young directors and so on.

In Li Yi's capacity, it is more than enough to serve as the chairman of the jury of the film festival. However, Li Yi rejected Chen Wen's kind intention to hand over the chairman of the jury.

"What kind of kindness do you have? Is it so easy to be the chairman of the jury? I'm so busy, can you relax?" Li Yi couldn't refuse, and he also wanted to find a reason to put other All invitations were declined.

But let him be the chairman of the jury, he won't do it!
Chen Wen was also a little helpless, but Li Yi's being able to come was the greatest affirmation of the film festival itself. With Li Yi's influence, as long as the news was announced, it would definitely increase the appeal of this year's Xichuan Youth Film Festival!

"How about a newly added secondary creation unit this year? We have invited many directors, senior screenwriters, editors, etc. for this unit. The main purpose is to guide those young directors in the secondary creation of films. After all, many young directors, For the first film made, it is usually difficult to have enough funds or conditions to find those professional people to help, so often the film may be good, but there is a lot of room for improvement.”

"The newly added secondary creation unit of this year's Xichuan Youth Film Festival is to invite you senior filmmakers to guide and re-create the debut works of those young directors, turning decay into magic."

"You can choose one or two of those "semi-finished" movies and guide them to make secondary creations."

To be honest, Li Yi still finds this unit quite interesting.

Unlike other film festivals, which are purely for awards, this secondary creation unit is really interesting.

Many young directors, in fact, may hold multiple positions at the time of film creation, but how can there be a real all-rounder?

Therefore, it will also lead to uneven quality of movies.

This secondary creation is somewhat similar to those singer talent shows, where professional mentors are invited to guide them.

Of course, competition also exists. After all, you must first let famous directors like Li Yi be able to watch it, and feel that your movie is still curable, or simply make rectifications to turn decay into magic, otherwise If so, you can only be a spectator.

"Okay!" Li Yi finally agreed to participate in the Xichuan Youth Film Festival.

And after this news came out, it can be said that it is not bad.

At least for the secondary creation unit, the number of films signed up suddenly soared!

As for the Xichuan Youth Film Festival, because of Li Yi's signature, it also seemed more confident when inviting other directors. After all, even top international directors like Li Yi participated, and the compulsion immediately rose.

What is even dumbfounding is that the number of registered works for the secondary creation unit exceeded the number of normal competition units for a while.

It has the meaning of overwhelming the host.

As for the secondary creation unit, after announcing Li Yi's confirmation to join, they successively announced the latest directors confirmed to join.

Many of them are well-known domestic directors, such as Wu Junming and Xue Yibin.

The results naturally speak for themselves.

And seeing that such a small film festival as the Xichuan Youth Film Festival suddenly catches up with the top domestic film awards, it immediately made the Beijing International Film Festival, College Student Film Festival, and other related film festivals this year The intention of the sponsor.

So, Li Yi felt that he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

The judging committees of these film festivals this year have found various connections, contacted Li Yi, and invited Li Yi to participate.

It's not that Li Yi's influence really surpasses those veteran directors, but that Li Yi usually rarely participates in film festivals, especially as judges.

However, this announcement of participation directly promoted a small film festival like the Xichuan Youth Film Festival.

How can everyone not be jealous?

On the contrary, this made Li Yi very depressed, feeling that he was completely cheated by Chen Wen.

Not only these, but also Hong Kong Island's Hong Kong Film Awards, and Li Yi was also invited to be the chairman of this year's Film Awards.

Asia Pacific Film Festival.
Wait, anyway, the domestic film awards have thrown olive branches to Li Yi one after another, and they racked their brains to find people who Li Yi has a good relationship with as lobbyists.

In fact, it's not difficult to understand, after all, if Li Yi didn't participate before, he wouldn't have participated.

And now, since there is an exception, you can serve as the director of the secondary creation unit of the Xichuan Youth Film Festival, so there is no reason to refuse invitations from other film festivals, right?

However, these are not urgent.

On the contrary, there are more than [-] entries for the second creation unit of the Xichuan Youth Film Festival, which is outrageous.

The key point is that the total number of entries for the Xichuan Youth Film Festival exceeded a thousand, which made Li Yi a little surprised. Are there so many young directors in China?

However, most of these works are uneven.

According to Chen Wen and the others, many works are experimental works, and more than 80% of the films will be removed in the first round of screening.

The rest will go through a second round of screening, and the final shortlisted works will be around [-] to [-] works.

As for the secondary creation unit, this year is the first year, and there were less than one hundred works registered before, but after the lineup of directing directors was announced, in just a few days, the number of film works signed up exceeded three. hundred.

Although it is said that the secondary creation unit does not set any awards, in fact, the films that can be selected by directors like Li Yi are more important than awards.

As for the second creation unit, it can be said that it depends entirely on the opinions of Li Yi and his instructors.
