Chapter 130 Can you not go?

Wang Shu returned home and received a call from Han Sanping.

"Go to the Chang C Film Festival if you can. After all, it is a film festival held by our country. As a practitioner in the film and television industry, you have to support it, right?"

Han Sanping chatted with Wang Shu for a while and then explained his purpose.

Wang Shu knew that Han Sanping would not call him if nothing happened, so he immediately asked, "Did they find you here?"

Han Sanping smiled and did not answer the question, but said: "This Chang C Film Festival is different from previous ones. The higher-ups have begun to take it seriously. The deputy director of the film bureau will serve as the vice chairman of the jury."

"Although there were many films in the competition, they were a bit less interesting."

"Do you understand?"

Wang Shu naturally understood this and said in a deep voice, "So, you want me to support the scene with "The Tuner", which has won three major awards in Europe?"

Han Sanping answered calmly: "The Tuner didn't win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Since they invited me this time, I can just go there."

After hearing this sentence, Wang Shu understood what Han Sanping meant, but he was still a little worried and said, "Director Han, although "The Tuner" did not win the Palme d'Or at Cannes, it did win the Best Screenplay Award after all. "

"This honor. To say it's top doesn't mean to be top. It doesn't mean it's high, but it's a bit of a card..."

"If I go to Long C with "The Tuner" and get nothing, or just get some innocuous small prizes, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Han Sanping did not answer his question directly, but said: "Among the three major European film festivals, only your "The Tuner" was shortlisted for the main competition at this year's Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals, and it also won the best screenplay. Grand Prize, and a Cannes Best Actress."

"Looking around, there are only a handful of "Tuners" in China who have received the highest honors this year."

"And this time, the higher authorities are paying special attention to the Chang C Film Festival."

"And we are not just focusing on this year, but starting from this year, we are preparing to build the Chang C Film Festival into the leading film festival in the country and even the world."

"Originally, I didn't even think of looking for you."

"It's just that although this film festival attaches great importance to the participating films,"

"You understand, right? That's what it means."

"Moreover, there are a lot of films from Hong Kong participating this time. If there are no outstanding films from the mainland, the awards ceremony will probably be similar to previous ones."

When Wang Shu heard Han Sanping say that his "The Tuner" had won the highest honor among domestic films this year, he couldn't help but think of Jia Zhangke.

On August 2006, 8, the 30rd Venice Film Festival kicked off. Jia Zhangke won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at this Venice Film Festival with his "The Good Man".

Therefore, the film that received the highest honors in 2006 was not Wang Shu's "The Tuner" but Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man."

"Can you not go?"

No matter what Han Sanping said, Wang Shu still asked this question in the end.

2006年第8届长c电影节，于8月22日开幕，8月25日闭幕，为期三天。

The movie "Taihang Mountains" won the Best Chinese Feature Film Award.

This is a war movie about...
  Therefore, Wang Shu knew that even if he took "The Tuner" to the Chang C Film Festival, he would not be able to win the highest honor of the Best Chinese Feature Film Award.

The most likely thing he can win is the Best Director Award.

According to the normal track, this award will be won by Hong Kong director Chen Kexin for his film "If Love".

If Wang Shu gets it with "The Tuner", Chen Kexin will get nothing. Even though Chen Kexin cannot win the Best Director Award, it is still a good thing.

But "The Tuner" has already won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival after all.

Therefore, if you go to the Chang C Film Festival, you are guaranteed to win the highest honor of the Best Chinese Feature Film Award.

Otherwise, there was no need for Wang Shu to go over and join in the fun.

Because any award that is not the highest honor is lowering the standards of Wang Shu and "The Tuner".

In this edition of the Chang C Film Festival, the film "On the Taihang Mountains" is on display.

Wang Shu's "The Tuner" will definitely not win the highest honor of Best Chinese Feature Film.

There is really no need to go and join in the fun.

As for the Best Director Award at the Chang C Film Festival
  Although Wang Shu has not won such an award yet, for him... the best director at the Chang C Film Festival is dispensable.

After all, he is, after all, the winner of the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear in Berlin and the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes.

These days, Europe's three major players are the "authoritative".

When Han Sanping heard Wang Shu ask this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You can get the prize if you go, why not go?"

He thought Wang Shu didn't understand the meaning of his previous words, so he spoke more clearly.

Wang Shu knew that Han Sanping might not know that "Taihang Mountain" went to the Chang C Film Festival, and then said: "Director Han, as far as I know, "Taihang Mountain" signed up to participate in this Chang C Film Festival."

"As expected, it should win the Best Feature Film award."

"In this case, is it necessary for "The Tuner", which has already won an award at Cannes, to go to the Chang C Film Festival again?"

"Taihang Mountain" was a movie released in August 2005. It won the highest honor of Best Feature Film at the 8th Golden Rooster Awards held in November last year. Together with it, Lu Taijun's plagiarism film won the Best Feature Film award. "Kekexili".

At the Golden Rooster Awards, "Taihang Mountain" not only won the highest honor of Best Feature Film, but also won the Best Sound Recording, Best Music Awards, and a series of nominations.

Wait until next year, when it goes to the 12th Huabiao Awards, it will also win the Outstanding Feature Film Award.

This movie is indeed an excellent film, and it deserves to win various domestic awards.

Wang Shu's "The Tuner" was "congenitally deficient". Even if it had already won an award at Cannes, it was just a foil.

There's really no need to go.

This Chang C Film Festival, "House of Flying Daggers" and "Ride Alone" directed by Zhang Yimou, and "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang have all signed up to participate.

But, he couldn’t even be shortlisted.

Wang Shu was also worried that although the painting of the pie was good, not only would the pie not be seen, but it would also become a joke, which would be difficult.

""Taihang Mountain"?" Han Sanping didn't realize this movie before, but now he heard Wang Shu say this and was stunned.

The film that won the Best Feature Film Award at the Golden Rooster Film Festival last year came to the Chang C Film Festival this year. Coupled with the special nature of this film, it is obvious what kind of awards it will win.

After a moment of silence, he said with a smile: "Actually, the Best Director Award is also pretty good."

"Have you not won this award yet?"
