I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 334: 332. Green Plum Boiled Wine on Heroes

Chapter 334 332. Green plum cooking wine on heroes

"be honest."

Maybe because of the evening rush hour, the traffic is slow and boring, Wang Sicong said:

"After participating in this award once, I will never want to come again."

"Why?"

Xu Xin came back to his senses and asked.

"Because... I don't feel professional."

Wang Sicong kept shaking his head:

"Good guy, whose awards ceremony is like this? A group of people shouted and cheered when they came on stage. It's really a sharing of pork, and everyone can get the award. When you win the award, Lao Lang and I will talk about it in the audience. Simply Let’s forget about getting a participation award in the future. When all the films come in, let’s not talk about anything else, it’s better for one person to go on stage and walk around first, and give everyone a piece of meat first?”

"The Huabiao Award really **** like that."

"What's the difference between now and the bad street?"

Wang Sicong became more and more speechless:

"It's not that I worship foreigners, but look at the three major European awards, or the Golden Globe Awards, Oscars, etc. Although there are occasional disputes, which award-winning film is not from Qianjun Wanda? ... Don't mention it, Old Xu, that golden camera of yours, didn’t you stand out only after defeating directors of more than a dozen films? The less meat you get, the better it is, the more meat you have, the cheaper it is. It really doesn’t matter if you win the award or not.”

Lang Lang nodded after listening to his words:

"I feel the same way. Really... My documentary can be shortlisted, I didn't expect it. And those science and education films... To be honest, when I was bored two days ago, I just watched "The Sow's Postpartum "Nursing"...I'm really afraid that it will be included in the 14th session. Think about it, the three award presenters took out the envelopes: Keke, the program that won the excellent science and education film is - "Postpartum Nursing of Sows"..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Including Cheng Hu who was driving, everyone in the car laughed out loud.

Lang Lang said while having fun:

"It's outrageous... After all, it is one of the top three movies in China. How can we guarantee its authority after this?"

"Then how authoritative are the domestic awards? Tell me."

Wang Sicong shook his head while laughing:

"After the split of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, the Hundred Flowers Award, to put it bluntly, can win whoever the audience likes. The Golden Rooster Award is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for its weaknesses. In terms of awards, it learns from the Huabiao Award and lays double yolks. It is always the same as two films. …Oh yes, there is also a Golden Eagle Award, but it was created by Hunan TV itself, so I don’t believe they are not biased. What do you think, is there any authoritative award in China?”

"Magnolia? Feitian?"

“…that’s a TV show.”

"Actually, in my heart, the status of the Golden Horse is greater than that of the Golden Statue... But you want to talk about the awards in the Mainland..."

Jay Chou shook his head slightly:

"I think the biggest disadvantage is not the authority or the division of meat, but the time of holding it. It happens every two years, please, I don't care if "Secret" wins an award this time~ Anyway, it's a movie from two years ago. You It doesn’t make any difference to me to give me an award or not to give me an award...It is mainly once every two years, and the time span is too long. Don’t you think so?”

"Yes. I think so too... Two years is really too long. Just like this year...Let's not talk about the Huabiao Awards, let's talk about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in October. Old Xu, "The Wind" You have to compete with The Great Cause, right?"

"…Um."

"Then "Secret" is also on the shortlist of Hundred Flowers?"

"Um."

"Then you still have to compete with the film made by Xiying Studio itself, which won the Rome Film Festival Award and the box office exploded to a mess? What's the name of the film?"

""Li Chun"."

"Yes, it's "Li Chun". I actually think that movie is pretty good... Also, "The Wind" has to compete with "Assembly", and there is also the movie that Hua Yi praised Zhou Xun last year... called... Uh... "Li Mi's Conjecture"? Is that the one? Two years of movies together, let's compete for one, two, three. Raise Gu?"

The young master was speechless:

"A film festival has to be selected every two years...how do you do this? Not to mention...I'll just say it straight. There is no other film that can be selected for the best film this year except "Daye". "The Wind" How beautiful, do you think it's a loss?"

"well…"

When he said this, Xu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Because Wang Sicong is telling the truth.

The deadline for the Huabiao Award is the earliest among the three.

So this year's "The Wind" did not catch up.

But the deadlines for Golden Rooster and Hundred Blossoms were both later, and "The Wind" was sent over after the editing was completed.

Successfully shortlisted.

The Golden Rooster Award is number 28.

He wants to participate in this award.

After much deliberation, the films that may be selected are still in today's batch.

No way, 2 years of movies are accumulated together.

It's hilarious, but it's not fair to many movies.

Or speaking from the side, this may be the main reason why golden chickens especially like double-yolk eggs.

2 years of movies have been squeezed together, and they all ran into each other...what do you think?

If double yolk eggs are not used, some movies will inevitably start to adjust the movie release time in order to win awards.

For example, if there is no award in the first year, then you will not be admitted, and you will be admitted when there is an award in the second year.

At that time, there may be a strange phenomenon that one year is good and one year is bad.

So from this point of view, Golden Rooster likes eggs with double yolks, and it is understandable that Hundred Blossoms began to ask the audience to vote for their favorite movies.

As for why it is held every two years...

Actually, Xu Xin didn't understand either.

I don't know.

He thought very simply, first get the first seat and then talk.

And this year he definitely has a chance.

On the one hand, Xiying Film Studio has been working in this area, and on the other hand... what Wang Sicong said is right. "The Great Cause" is definitely the best film, but for the same reason, according to various sources, it does not have the ability to be nominated for the best hero and heroine.

The only award it won outside of Best Picture was Best Director…

But it doesn't matter.

First get his wife a golden rooster or a hundred flowers queen, and he can accept it.

Because so far this year, I have not encountered a domestic film that is more successful than "The Wind".

The most important thing is that this so-called ability to fight also includes acting skills.

So his inner expectations are actually quite big.

And this is one of the advantages of the movies released that year.

But in the same way, the challenges he has to face are the weekly news in "Li Mi's Conjecture", and Jiang Wenli, who won the best actress at the Rome Film Festival in "The Beginning of Spring".

This is his headache.

As for the best director...it is nothing more than Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Cao Baoping and others.

He is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet.

As for the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue...the Golden Horse was shortlisted in October and started in December. The Golden Statue will be next year.

Now the prospect of "The Wind" is optimistic or optimistic, or not optimistic.

It seems that there are many flowers, but at any time, you may also face the sense of lack of harvest.

It’s really hard to say.

While thinking, he heard Wang Sicong's words:

"So I think that since this kind of award is established, the first thing is to ensure that it is held once a year. The second is that there must be absolutely no such double-yolked eggs or cuts of pork. The third point, and the most important point, is that there must be Let's let a hundred flowers bloom."

"What's wrong, the main theme won't be allowed in the future?"

Lang Lang’s words got Wang Sicong shaking his head:

"That's not true. Even the Oscars can't escape this aspect...I mean you can cater to some things, but at least you have to guarantee...80% fairness, right? One award is given to one, this kind of thousands of troops The movies produced by Ma Sha are considered convincing. Otherwise, they are compromising popularity and wanting to take care of everyone... This kind of award can’t even guarantee its authority in the end, and the audience won’t recognize it.”

Xu Xin tilted his head:

"Why? Want to make a film festival?"

"...?"

Wang Sicong was taken aback.

Then Xu Xin, who said this, frowned.

Followed by Lang Lang...

Finally, Jay Chou said:

"Huh? Ah Xin, what you said...it seems that Xiying Film Studio can hold a film festival?"

"yes!"

The old man slapped his thigh.

"The qualifications of the West Film Studio are enough to hold a film festival, right? If nothing else, the judges will look for Director Zhang and other people from the West Film Studio. These great directors must have their own pursuit of art, right? The ones they selected Movies, at least they can convince the public! And the face is big enough...not to mention the professionalism. In this way, it seems to be okay? Old Xu, what do you think of this idea?"

Actually, there is no need for him to ask.

Xu Xin had already thought of this possibility the moment he frowned.

Like he said.

In terms of qualifications, Xiying Studio is definitely enough.

Even including the judges is enough.

China definitely has no shortage of good filmmakers.

Definitely.

And, he might be thinking more.

After confirming the possibility of Xiying Film Studio holding a film festival, unconsciously, he thought of more extension possibilities.

For example... Uncle Zhang told himself that Xi'an will vigorously develop a tourist city.

Construction and development of Datang Cultural 5A scenic spots such as Datang Furong Garden in Xi'an.

Another example is the thousands of years of cultural tourism projects in Shaanxi.

Even... If this film festival can really be launched, what kind of status improvement will it bring to itself.

If it is really possible to create a very professional and well-recognized film festival.

Firstly, it can be like the small French city of Cannes. It can attract many tourists every year during the one month of the film festival, and drive the economy aside. Just talking about popularity... it can be combined with Northwest culture. Together. Form a force that cannot be ignored!

Second, in this force that cannot be ignored, actors, directors, or a series of workers from the entire Northwest circle can climb up the status of the rivers and lakes like a tall building on the ground.

Although what I said is a bit "standing at the top of the mountain".

But why can’t we do what you can do in the Beijing circle?

Third... West Film Studio holds a film festival, isn't that the root of the film festival? What is the slogan of Xiying Studio? "Chinese movies go from here to the world!". And if he succeeds, he doesn't mention it himself, he just needs to push his sister to the position of spokesperson... Isn't it easy to realize her inexplicable "big boss dream"?

Fourth, the more authoritative this film festival is, the more important it will be to the entire film and television industry. Just like the Oscars, Oscar winners and ordinary actors are not a gold standard. Of course, this has to put aside the so-called "Oscar Best Actor Curse". As far as the gold content is concerned, if you want to improve your coffee status, you must plate a layer of gold in the northwest circle...

It’s just like what Wang Sicong said. No need to be 100% professional...just 80%.

The remaining 20% is taken out, for example: to study Oscar, the price of a screenplay by an Oscar-level screenwriter is in the million-dollar level. If you want to make money, you have to come to worship the mountain. And worshiping the top of the mountain, if you don't show some sincerity to suppress the bottom of the box... can it work?

In this invisible way, isn’t the movie resource in the northwest circle getting richer and richer?

Year after year, as long as it can be maintained, the power of discourse in the entire northwest circle will become more and more important in the circle, and the entire entertainment industry may transfer to the west... Xi'an will take off directly, and Xiying Studio will take off directly , People in the entire northwest circle took off directly.

And when the time comes, I will carry this banner...

Well, how can it not be considered a stroke of rich ink and color! ?

but…

As the thinking slowly diverged, and after thinking clearly about the pros and cons of various relationships along this line, he understood... this idea needs to be hidden for a while.

At least not right now.

To ask why...

It can only be said that he is too weak now.

Everyone is innocent and conceives his crime.

not the right time yet.

So, after thinking for a while, he shook his head:

"Now is not the time to think about this...it's too early."

Wang Sicong was taken aback.

His eyes moved, as if thinking of something, he nodded:

"Yeah. That's right~"

…

The dinner at the State Guest House is not bad.

Compared to the formality at the awards ceremony, this dinner is a bit like a wedding scene.

Not to mention changing cups.

The most important thing in this occasion is communication.

Even if they drink alcohol, they will be very restrained. Most of them are still in contact with each other "feelings". They are all colleagues.

There are also those who did not come to participate, such as Zhou Xingchi, such as Wu Yusen.

I don't know if it's because I really don't like socializing, or if there are other things.

Xu Xin originally wanted to make friends with his idol, but he couldn't find where he was.

So I didn't make friends.

But he kept being made friends.

However, he didn't feel the barbarity of Liang Bingning's so-called "I wish I could eat you".

In fact, you can understand it if you think about it.

However, the Huabiao Award is not a pheasant award. Even if an actor who can play the main theme of a movie is seeking career opportunities, it is impossible to say that he is looking for opportunities in every corner like those who do everything to get ahead.

Including Zhang Xuan, everyone at the dinner party came to chat, chat, leave contact information with each other, and then left politely.

And if Xu Xin is the most popular, then the second most popular among these four people is actually Wang Sicong...

Even Jay Chou had to step aside.

The title of "President Wang" has never been broken.

Wang Sicong seems to be the first choice for many producers...

The young master also gave me face.

After all, I came here to rub the red carpet to gain knowledge, and I wear the labels of Lao Xu and Lao Lang on my body, so come and leave politely.

Then when there is no one around, the first sentence is:

"I'm going to get a new number tomorrow, and then hire an assistant. No way... My head hurts from saving the phone."

"Where have you been?"

Lang Lang rolled his eyes, and pointed not far away:

"Look at Lao Xu."

Hearing this, Wang Sicong turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin.

I saw him being surrounded by a few unfamiliar strangers.

"What are those guys doing?"

"Don't know. But this is the third wave."

Holding a few small tomatoes and throwing them into his mouth one by one, Lang Lang shrugged:

"This group of people came here just after chatting with Chen Kaige. I guess... they should be investors or something? Lao Xu is now a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and in the eyes of this group of people, he is a sweet potato. .”

"Tsk~"

Hearing this, Wang Sicong said with some emotion:

"Aren't you waiting to eat the eggs laid by Lao Xu?"

"Who said it wasn't."

…

"Director Xu, let's make an agreement now. When we arrive in Shanghai, you must contact me, and let me do my best as a landlord~"

"Mr. Xue is too polite. When I go there after the National Day, I will disturb Mr. Xue."

After shaking hands with the last middle-aged man to bid farewell, the thirsty Xu Xin returned to his seat and took a big sip of water from his teacup.

"Who? We talked for so long?"

Hearing Wang Sicong's words, Xu Xin lowered his voice:

"People from the distribution department of Shanghai Film Studio. One of the investors of "Assembly Number". The surname is Xue, and the name is Xue Haifeng. Where are they?"

"I met a person from the music industry over there... Don't they make cartoons at Shanghai Film Studio?"

"Your information is several years old."

Xu Xin shook his head, with some emotion on his face:

“They cooperated with China Merchants and Minsheng to set up a distribution company internally. I don’t know if I don’t talk about it, but I was a little surprised when I talked about it.

Not to mention "Assembly Number", "Daye" is also theirs. The first and second episodes of "Red Cliff", including "Painted Skin" and last year's popular "Love Call Transfer" are all theirs...

Moreover, they have a good relationship with Wang Jiawei, and they have shadows in "Lust, Caution", "Blueberry Night", and "Tokyo Judgment"... "

"..."

Wang Sicong's eyes widened in surprise:

"So powerful?... Is it true that you can make a fortune without saying a word? I always thought that Shanghai Film Studio was dead. According to you, they are much better than Western Film Studio in this regard."

"I guess it's because of the impact of those things back then. I learned from the pain, right? I asked about it just now. They are currently focusing on investment...but I heard a meaning."

"What?"

"It's not just me who thinks that film and television resources are too concentrated in the Beijing circle...they think so too. So, when we were chatting there just now, we asked if the film studio didn't mean to make films by itself? Their current The purpose is to keep an eye on the new generation of directors, but I don’t know where I found out that Yang Mi is talking about the copyright of a few books with the starting point website that reads novels, and asked if I need help..."

"..."

The eldest young master was silent, listening to Xu Xin sigh:

"well…"

"how?"

"Envy, envy, hate."

"... West Film Studio?"

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded:

"I don't know that I'm one of the six brothers. Does the factory know that the old brother is doing so well now... Although the mountains and rivers are not exposed, the energy is really scary. If you want money, you need money, and you need relationships. Will they be jealous when they find out..."

Wang Sicong thought for a while, and showed a strange expression:

"I guess the back molars are all crushed?"

"It's really scary. I thought that what the West Film Studio caught was good enough, but compared with others... the West Film Studio is like an old antique from the last century. Now the Shanghai Film Studio wants money and money , You need contacts and contacts. And the career prospects are well planned, and my eyes are already on these post-90s who have gradually begun to grow up. I will go to Shanghai in October to meet them again. It is said that they hold With a lot of good scripts..."

"Why do you want to change the mountain top according to what you mean?"

Wang Sicong was a little puzzled.

But when Xu Xin heard this, he shook his head very simply:

"That's not the case. To apply the lines in "The Wind", people who are facing Qin Muchu will not end well. Besides... Its idea of making a fortune with a single mind is obviously more commercial than artistic. I went, yes It’s the icing on the cake. But I’m in Xiying Studio, and it’s just a timely help. The concept is different. But…”

"but?"

"At present, everyone's interests are consistent."

Benefit…

Wang Sicong rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Beijing Circle?"

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded, and his voice was suppressed again:

"The resources in the Beijing circle are too concentrated. If things go on like this, let alone the Northwest circle, Shanghai Film Studio can only be regarded as a profitable company at best. Since they are also working on scripts, it means...

No matter what they are doing now, at least the "old and young" in Shanghai Film Studio are still there... I guess people in other places should be similar. Everyone knows that the Beijing circle makes money, controls a lot of resources, and acts too domineeringly.

The benefit is monopolized by one person, but it will always be leftovers to others, and everyone wants to share it. So in this regard, before we get rid of the phenomenon of dominance, everyone should be able to stand on the same boat...but we still have to see how we talk. "

Wang Sicong thought for a while, leaned towards Xu Xin subconsciously, covered his mouth with his hands, and said in Xu Xin's ear in a rather ambiguous posture:

"If you want to say that, I actually think it makes sense."

"Why?"

"Think about it, Xiying Film Studio is actually not conservative in concept. After I got in touch with them, including the content of our free chat, I think they are a bit like "patriotic" scholars. What they want is not how much money the movie makes, but how to say Restoring the status of Xiying Film Studio that dominated the country in the past. You have to look at it from the perspective of artistic pursuit."

"...well, what then?"

"Shanghai Film Studio makes me feel like a "patriotic" businessman. Like scholars, everyone wants to overthrow the evil old society. But unlike scholars who think about self-cultivation and governing the country, what they want more is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. An Ansheng does his own business.

There is no conflict between the two sides. Xiying Film Studio wants to regain its influence, while Shanghai Film Film Factory wants to expand its business... At least for the time being. You are right on both sides. It is really not good for one family to dominate, and it will become a pool of stagnant water. If it can divide the world into three parts, if nothing else, it can at least let a hundred flowers bloom. "

"..."

Xu Xin was silent, surprised, and then slowly frowned, turning into a thought.

Wang Sicong just shrugged, picked up a teacup and moistened his throat.

After about ten seconds, I suddenly saw Xu Xin covering his left arm with his right hand and pinching it...

"What's wrong? Your heart is not feeling well?"

Feeling the concern from the young master, Xu Xin shook his head:

"without."

"...Then why are you pinching your arms when you have nothing to do?"

"Because I think Shanghai Film Studio's thinking is quite right."

"?"

Looking at the suspicious friend, Xu Xin squeezed his arms and murmured:

"Post-90s... It seems that I have to bet my future on the new era."
