This director needs to apologize

Chapter 23 The Fourth Golden Grand Tournament of China, Meng Chang

The Montreal International Film Festival was founded in 1978 and is the only competitive Class A film festival in North America.

Since the next door neighbor is the powerful Hollywood, the Montreal Film Festival determined its differentiated positioning from the beginning, focusing outside North America and paying special attention to Asian, African and Latin American countries that were on the edge of the film world at that time.

At that time, China, which had already embarked on the road of opening up, entered Montreal's sight.

Relying on its consistent friendliness towards Chinese-language films and years of hard work, Montreal has successfully pushed its popularity to a level second only to the Berlin Golden Bear (only in China).

Just count the numbers and you’ll know.

Among foreign-language films with the highest quality Oscars, Chinese films still have zero awards.

The second most prestigious Cannes Palme d'Or, China won 1, and 3 Silver Palms (all secondary awards for actors, directors, juries, juries, etc.).

Following the Venetian Golden Lion, Hua Guo captured 1 and Silver Lion 5.

The Berlin Golden Bears, who are at the bottom of the three majors, Hua Guo has scored 2, and the Silver Bears have broken 10.

The next step is the Montreal Americas Awards. Since Chinese films first won the award in 1983, they have won 26 times in 5 editions, and the number of silver awards has exceeded 20.

Montreal is definitely a gilded holy land for Chinese filmmakers. It is even jokingly called the fourth gold medal in Chinese film circles, ranking it with the country's three gold medals: the Golden Rooster, the Golden Statue, and the Golden Horse.

If it were the original Chen Yiming, he would have definitely started preparing for the Montreal competition early and would never have thought of it after checking the website temporarily.

Every year, Montreal's shortlist triggers a lot of discussion among Chinese movie fans, because many Chinese filmmakers made their mark here.

……

As soon as Mitu saw the supervisor leaving his seat, he immediately cut off the current PPT and clicked on the Penguin software hidden in the lower right corner.

This is a tacit understanding between the supervisor and the team members. Every morning at 10:[-], as long as there are no meetings, the supervisors will go to the stairwell to smoke, while the team members go into surfing time, without disturbing each other.

On Mitu's Penguin interface, there are densely packed message groups with different names, and each of them has 99+ unread messages.

In the world of groups, information is like surging waves, constantly coming and going.

Only the top surfers can step on the wave that can get the highest score for the first time.

Without hesitation, Mitu opened the group that almost always occupied the top spot. As she expected, the messages in the chat box continued to flow like a waterfall.

This is an entertainment gossip group called "I criticize you, you ban me, you criticize me, I rebound". Mitu has been following it for a long time, from the origin of Tianya to the Broad Bean Group, and then from the Broad Bean Group to the Penguin Management Group, and finally succeeded. Sneaking into the playmaker.

Each member of the group has mastered Baguazhang to such perfection that one strike requires at least 10 years of skill.

If Mitu hadn't practiced Tai Chi diligently, he might not have been able to sneak in.

After all, Tai Chi generates two yang, two yin generates four images, and four images generates Bagua. Tai Chi is a master of all kinds of disciplines, no joke.

Huh?Is today’s topic the Montreal Film Festival?

Let's see which losers will make a comeback in Montreal this year.

She quickly scanned the information with her mouse and quickly caught up with the latest discussion progress.

[Unsuccessful Great Sima]: This Sima always pays attention to real evidence. Gu Yuehe's comeback is conclusive, here is the link.

[Eight Kings Chanting Sutra]: Is this the latest telecommunications fraud method?I announce that the Da Sima has been stolen, this group will be disbanded immediately, and group members will quickly join the new group 7654321.

[Jiang Yan]: I’ve read it, it’s the Gu Yuehe who was in the car accident!Unexpectedly, the handsome old man has embarked on the road to success in Montreal before he has passed his thirties. It is pitiful.

[Nine Five Two Seven]: Before the car accident, the director Wang Jiawei and the heroine Gao Leilei; after the car accident, the director remained anonymous and the heroine Wu Ciren.Why!Things are different and people are not the same. Everything stops. If you want to speak, you will shed tears first.

[Parking Fenglinwan]: Ignorance is not wrong, arrogance is.Lily-Collin is obviously a new and up-and-coming singer in the Billboard, and she is in the top [-] on the Billboard. She has a promising future.

[February Flowers on the River in March]: I don’t know about the up-and-coming singer, and the up-and-coming director is afraid that he will suffer a lot. It was promised that An Quan and Lu Yichuan would shine, but an unknown person suddenly appeared. Now, whoever loses will be embarrassed.

[Two Pairs of Shoes for the Bed]: Can you please stop mentioning those two "up-and-coming" directors who are currently working for the fifth grade? Each one has a higher academic qualification than the other, and each movie they make is worse than the last. I suggest they learn from Fatty Chiang and Ming Jin. Cairo aims at Berlin, skipping Montreal to show ambition. [Jiang Yan]: Compared to the two directors, shouldn’t it be our brother Fan who is more ambitious?After winning Best Actor in Canberra and Best Actor in Houston, Montreal continues its legend.Darling, the 25-year-old triple-gold best actor, a Chinese drama star, who would you rather give him than anyone else?

At this time, Mitu had already read the news link with concentration. The news was signed by Cheng Yu and the interviewee Chen Yiming were the two men who sat with her and drank tea that afternoon.

Although they exchanged contact information with each other, Mitu never thought of taking the initiative to contact that man after they broke up.

Ordinarily, this is not in line with her usual character. Since she is chatting happily and looking comfortable, it is only right to develop further, but Tutu is so casual.

She secretly remembered the name "Holiday in the Magic City" in her mind, closed Penguin directly, pressed out the PPT and continued working.

……

Chen Yiming received a call from Cheng Yu early in the morning, telling him the news that had been published in the news.

The time for Cheng Yu to publish the news was agreed upon by the two in advance. It was already a big favor to help suppress the news. Of course, Chen Yiming couldn't completely delay his exclusive.

"Modu Evening News" is called an evening newspaper, but it has actually been published in the early morning.

Xiaomei, the receptionist of Platinum Media, has been answering the phone without doing anything else all morning.

There has been no fresh blood in the Chinese film industry for a long time. There have always been a limited number of names on the entry lists for the four major overseas film festivals, and reporters are tired of them.

This year I finally saw an unfamiliar name. It was not a short film unit or a special unit, but the main competition unit!
Cheng Yu's exclusive news further confirmed that "Holiday in the Magic City" is Gu Yuehe's comeback and film debut, and it is a serious theatrical feature film.

The National Day holiday has passed, and all the movies released are lukewarm and there is no reason to speculate.

There haven't been any big scandals in the industry recently. Celebrities are following the rules and there is no divorce or cheating or seafood takeout. All the entertainment reporters are trying their best to find hot spots.

So "Holiday in the Magic City", a porridge side dish, was spotted by the hungry media.

Xiaomei recorded 7 interview invitations in one go. 4 local media and 3 foreign media all said they wanted to interview Chen Yiming.

Of course, when the heat is not enough, you can't lift the lid of the pot. In his previous life, Chen Yiming can't be said to be the stir-fry king in the entertainment industry, but he can at least be regarded as a chef.

Therefore, he did not turn down all the invitations, but sincerely introduced Ma Yunteng, the real operator and producer of "Holiday in the City" to the media.

At this stage, compared to the unknown tool director, it is definitely the second generation of the magic circle with a profound background, which can attract the attention of reporters more, and has more topical and communication value.

Chen Yiming has no idea about winning the award. "Holiday in the City" is not an art film at all, and it is not in line with the taste of the film festival. In the past, it was purely for the purpose of making news and generating publicity.

The pre-screening arrangements were almost completed, and Chen Yiming finally broke away from the intense rhythm and enjoyed a quiet and peaceful time.

I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, have lunch in the cafeteria of the park where Bojue is located, keep an eye on the promotional progress of the screening venue in the afternoon, and use the remaining time to pay attention to the company's unfinished "consulting" projects.

The life of a CEO is so simple and boring.

On October 10, Da Zhuang, who had not been masked for a long time, returned to Shanghai. After getting off the plane, he went straight to Bojue and couldn't wait to share his happiness with Chen Yiming.

Ma Yunteng, who had been dawdling in the past, found his life direction in more than half a month.

There is a poem about the beauty in the arms and the cup in the hand, who is the name of the hero in the joyous scene, strangers in the smoke and fairies in the mist, clothes fluttering in the clouds.

The Vanity Fair at the wine table that Chen Yiming avoids is exactly the paradise where our young master Teng is fascinated.

Everyone has their own destiny, and they cannot be forced.

In the past half month or so, Da Zhuang has been very drunk, and he has made a lot of friends in the circle. Speaking of it, he is the best in the circle, and has friends all over the world.

In the meantime, the media who were encouraged by Chen Yiming helped a lot, and Master Teng gained a lot of face.

After all, there is a huge difference in the treatment of an ordinary second-generation magic circle and a real second-generation magic circle.

If the first half of Da Zhuang is about bowing down and begging people to drink, then the second half of Da Zhuang is about holding your head high and being accompanied by others to drink, and the consumption experience has reached the VIP level.
