I really can't act

Chapter 185 Participating in the Tokyo Film Festival
"If you don't report it, how do you know it's impossible?"

Fang Yi asked back.

A great man once said, "Imperialism is a paper tiger".It should be discarded that foreign festivals are a lofty concept. In fact, these foreign festivals like to give opportunities to films in emerging developing countries, and China is the leader among developing countries.

Yu Feihong is a fledgling director, a well-known actor, and a well-known female literary youth. Her debut role in other people's novels and movies are also edited by others.

In 04, a female director in exactly the same situation as her won the best director at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain. She was shocked when she was sent back to China, and she was awarded the title of "Talented Woman".

This person is Xu Cainv, her movie is "A Letter from a Strange Woman", and the actor is also the famous central opera drama tyrant Jiang Wen.

Yu Feihong's face was flushed by Fang Yi's imagination, and she fanned her face with her small hands, with a look of hope in her eyes:
Fang Yi, do you want to read it again?
She offered to give up her seat, Fang Yi sat down unceremoniously, and played the film from the beginning, while Yu Feihong watched from the side.

Every time some were cut off, Yu Feihong would let out a soft cry, on the contrary, if it was kept, Yu Feihong would secretly clenched his fists.

But Fang Yi made changes over and over again, overturning the previous decision from time to time, and starting over again, until late at night, he was still full of energy, Yu Feihong couldn't take it anymore, and unknowingly left the editing room.

Fang Yi saw the capital at four o'clock in the morning.

I went through my film for the last time and asked Yu Feihong to watch it.

Yu was resting next to the editing room, watching the whole film with red eyes, without speaking in the middle.

Instead of jumping up to express her surprise, she was dissatisfied, "Fang Yi, you really edited out a lot of content—I think it can be kept."

Fang Yi asked her, "You came here half asleep, but you still understood the film, right?"

Yu Feihong was overwhelmed by his tone, and stammered, "Ah... yes."

Fang Yi nodded, "That's fine, that's what I want."

"Yu Rongguang is the producer, and I have to show him the film. Don't tell him I edited it, but ask him if he understands it?"

So Yu Feihong called Yu Rongguang, and the old man came here in a hurry. When he entered the door, he saw Fang Yi and Yu Feihong both had red eyes, looking like they were overworked. He subconsciously sniffed to confirm that there was no smell of heather pollen. :

"Is it convenient for me?"

"convenient."

He stepped through the door and found only a chair, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it convenient?"

Nv Wenqing stomped her feet and said, "Convenience!"

So he went in to watch the film, and Fang Yi and Yu Feihong came out to breathe the fresh air. The rising sun painted the nearby buildings with splendor, and the whole sky was gradually brightening.

Fang Yi calmed down and began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I was a little too emotional, and I was rude just now."

"Fang Yi, I'm not only sorry that my ingenuity was not left behind, I'm also sorry for you, you have cut a lot of yourself."

Yu was talking about the stream-of-consciousness Fang Yi close-up shot she took.

Fang Yi: "That's why I have to make a director's cut version. If it goes to a film festival, my commercial style of telling the story clearly is a bad thing. The judges are all professionals in the industry. They are all doing this; instead you look pure, what you want is a youthful and aura-like shooting technique, I can't pretend..."

Yu Feihong asked him, "Is it really possible to go to the film festival?"

"Why not."

Fang Yi seemed confident.

Yu Feihong turned his body sideways and stared at Fang Yi for a long time, "Fang Yi, I like that you speak to me in an unquestionable tone."

Seeing Fang Yi looking over in surprise, she explained, "I'm just stating a fact, it did happen at that moment, and I'm speaking frankly. It's now... when the sun rises, there are bright and dark, and when it's completely bright , Yu Feihong won’t admit what he said just now, so you can just forget it.”

This time it was Fang Yi's turn to be silenced.

——Yu Rongguang was very excited when he saw half of it, and rushed out to look for them: "The literary and martial arts are beautiful, and the little people in the big era have no choice but to use too much force. Every time I am afraid that I will start a stream of consciousness, I will pull it immediately." Entering the next scene, it leaves an aftertaste... I think it will explode."

"Director Yu, amazing!"

Yu Rongguang stretched out his thumb and praised, but Yu Feihong said angrily, "You two don't collude and continue to lie to me, I don't know."

After saying this, the three of them froze, then looked at each other and laughed.

After director Yu's lengthy version was also broadcast, Yu Rongguang said bluntly: "This version is only liked by film festivals. They are another dimension, enjoying the pleasure of finding the context and piecing together the plot - ordinary audiences only think it's him." Urinary urgency."

Yu Feihong couldn't help laughing, "Fang Yi, tell me, what film festival to choose, I want to show my talent to those who don't feel anxious."

Fang Yi transferred to the part where the monk appeared. Under the shadow of the falling ginkgo leaves, the monk in cassock appeared in front of the field of vision.

It means that you will fall into ingenuity.

I know you're going to cry, I know you're going to laugh, I know that a handsome monk is going to come out now, if you're just like that, then you meet my expectations, but you didn't surprise me.

Fang Yi did the opposite, I told you directly that a handsome guy was about to appear on the stage, but you still had to say "I'm sorry" when you saw it, because it far exceeded expectations.

The picture freezes at the moment when the monk raised his head.

Fang Yi also turned his head, and the two kept looking back and forth between him and the screen.

"Now, what film festival do you think is suitable?"

The two said in unison: "Tokyo."

------

The Tokyo Film Festival is a blessed place for domestic filmmakers. The organizers set up a "Chinese Film Festival" every year. In addition, the Chinese Film Corps is also a topic that media on both sides of the strait are talking about.

Culture and economy are closely related. Oriental films once represented the pinnacle of Asian film art from the 60s to the 80s of the last century, and then began to decline gradually. In the new century, its status has been deteriorating, so that it has in turn become a ladder for Chinese filmmakers and a film siphoned by the mainland. a part of.

The chairman of the jury this year is the Mexican director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarritu, whose representative work is "Babel". , and strive to make every character image full.

In the middle of the month, a new Chinese film was registered—there are many films to be registered every year. In fact, most of them were not his turn to watch.

Chinese films are more popular at the Tokyo International Film Festival, because they are culturally close, which makes it seem that there are no cultural barriers for local movie fans, and there will be no silence during the screening.

As chairman of the jury, Alessandro also had to take this into account.

It is necessary to take care of his own taste as well as the emotions of local movie fans.
