Entertainment: God-level director

After the meeting and taking a photo with the new leadership team members, Lin Ran left directly.

He, the vice president of the Guidance Association, is more of a symbol, just in name.

Normally, there is no need to take care of things at all. The person who handles the daily work of the Association is the Secretary-General of the Association.

This is the best for Lin Ran. He has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to deal with the trivial matters in the Guidance Association.

However, before he had gone far, Lin Ran’s cell phone rang again.

Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be the person in charge of the Shanghai International Film Festival Organizing Committee. Lin Ran quickly answered the call.

“Lin Ran, are you not busy now? Wang Shaoguang asked

“No, I just finished the Guidance Association meeting and am on my way back. Lin

Ran smiled and shook his head,”Director Wang, what’s the matter?””

“It’s like this. It’s the end of March now, and there are only more than two months until this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, and the awards judging is about to begin.

After discussion with the organizing committee, we are ready to invite you to serve as the chairperson of this year’s Golden Goblet Award jury.”

Wang Shaoguang got straight to the point.

Invite himself to be the chairman of the Golden Goblet Award jury?

Lin Ran was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

The awards of major film festivals are not selected by the organizing committee of the film festival itself, but by the organizing committee. Selected by judges invited by the committee.

These judges are usually selected from relatively well-known directors or actors, about six or seven people.

Then among these judges, a person in charge with high prestige will be selected to serve as the jury Chairman.

For example, for the Golden Goblet Award, the highest award in the main competition section of the Shanghai International Film Festival, those invited to serve as the chairman of the Golden Goblet Award jury include Gong Li, Jean-Jacques, Wang Jiawei and others. I didn’t expect that this year, I would be invited to serve as chairman. Own

“Director Wang, my movie is about to start shooting, so I can’t spare the time.”

Lin Ran declined politely.

Xi, the chairman of the film festival jury, is not just a decoration like the vice president of the Directors Association. Instead, he needs to watch a large number of submitted films.

Then he will determine the shortlist and the final list of winners with other judges.

As the chairman of the jury , xi, I have the final right to decide whether a movie wins or not. Whether someone can win the Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress depends entirely on their own thoughts.

This seems very cool, but if the shortlisted and The list of winners is too outrageous, and it will face great external pressure.

It will also damage its credibility in the international film industry.

You must know that although the influence of the Shanghai International Film Festival is far less than that of the Oscars and the three major European films, However, as one of the 15 international Class A film festivals in the world and the only one in China, there are still a large number of foreign films submitted every year.

Overall, its international influence is much greater than the Chinese Three Gold Medals.

“Lin Ran, your new movie is about to be shot again? Wang

Shaoguang said doubtfully

《”Breaking Drummer” hasn’t been released yet, is a new movie about to be released?

Your filming speed is too fast!

“Yes, filming will start in mid-April, and filming will take place abroad. Everything is scheduled.”

Lin Ran nodded quickly.

“Alas, I should have informed you earlier.”Wang Shaoguang is very sorry.

Today, Lin Ran still has a great influence in the international film industry. If he serves as the chairman of the Golden Goblet Award jury, he can attract a lot of attention internationally.

As the only international A-lister in China, As a film festival, the officials really hope to make this film festival a success.

Therefore, the judges invited include Gong Li, the King of Sunglasses, Jean-Jacques, Barry Levinson (director of”Rain Man”) and so on. Internationally influential filmmakers

“You can still take up the post in the future. Lin Ran smiled and said

“Hahaha, yes, if it doesn’t work this year, it can always happen next year! Wang

Shaoguang burst out laughing.

Just when Lin Ran thought he had turned down the job, Wang Shaoguang suddenly said:

“Lin Ran, since you are busy making movies, you can be the chairman of the jury, but you must attend the opening ceremony. You know what I mean?”

“You mean the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Film? Lin

Ran thought for a few seconds and guessed the meaning of Wang Shaoguang’s words.

The Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Films was established by the Shanghai International Film Festival to commend filmmakers who have made great contributions to promoting Chinese films to the world. It will be held every year The winners were announced at the opening ceremony of the film festival

“Hahaha, you said this, I didn’t.”

Wang Shaoguang laughed.

After all, the awards have not yet been awarded, and the winners should be kept secret.

But Lin Ran is not a fool, how could he not hear it.

Think about it, he has won so many awards at the Oscars, and he will not give this award this year. It doesn’t make sense to award it to him.

“Well, I will take a day to attend the opening ceremony.”

This time Lin Ran couldn’t refuse.

“Well, okay, I won’t bother you anymore.”Wang Shaoguang hung up the phone after saying that.

Winning the Oscar doesn’t seem to be a good thing?

Lin Ran shook his head and sighed in his heart.

After winning the Oscar, he obviously felt that he had more official activities, many of which There was no way to refuse.

There was no way, this was also the approval of him from above.

It hurts so much that he wanted it but still couldn’t get it.

After putting these things aside, Lin Ran drove to MOREVFX Special Effects Film and Television Company.

MOREVFX was founded in 2007 , currently focuses on film digital special effects and three-dimensional animation production. Since its establishment, it has completed the post-production of nearly 200 advertisements and more than 30 movies, and has considerable experience in the production and research and development of realistic biological digital characters.

In 2015, Burning Dream Pictures acquired MOREVFX and became its wholly-owned subsidiary.

In fact, Lin Ran was planning to acquire Tiangong Yicai.

Tiangong Yicai was only established one year earlier than MOREVFX, but it is much stronger and can be regarded as a domestic film and television special effects company. The boss.

However, after investigation, it was found that the Wang brothers of Huayi were behind Tiangong Yicai, and they would not agree to be acquired by Ranmeng Pictures. The reason why Tiangong Yicai is powerful is that Huayi uses all the special effects of its own movies If it is handed over to Tiangong Yicai, it can continue to receive orders, so it can naturally accumulate strength quickly.

However, since Ranmeng Pictures acquired MOREVFX, Lin Ran also handed over all the special effects of its movies to MOREVFX.

Compared to Those movies produced by Huayi, such as”Superbody”,”Interstellar”,”Inception” and”The Wandering Earth” produced by Ranmeng Pictures, require special effects, whether it is the number of special effects shots or the technology required, it can be said that It is to defeat the other party.

Therefore, in just a few years, MOREVFX has completed the overtake of Tiangong Yicai and become the strongest digital special effects company in China.
