Chapter 12 Main Competition Unit
Normally, after a film is shot and submitted for review, it takes three to five months to know the result.
Sometimes when the application is returned to you, it is only told that it did not pass, and does not say what the problem is. That is the most torturous thing.
When it comes to film review alone, Nortel has no advantage, and it is still a group that is given priority.
Most of the banned films in China are made by teachers or graduates from Nortel, and all of them are very stubborn: This is how I shoot, and you censors know nothing about art!
Just like a certain great director named Zhuang Zhuang, when he was filming "Blue Kite", the script he submitted for review was different from the script he was filming. Of course, he was not allowed to review the film after it was finished.
But they didn't care at all and took it to participate in foreign film festivals. The superiors were very angry and banned him from directing for ten years.
What’s interesting is that at that time, a document was issued to ban him from directing.
It is said that the stubborn old Tian framed the document, hung it in his room, and showed off it, which is quite impressive.
From then on, even if the guide was banned, no documents would be given.
For example, after Jiang Wen was informed that he was banned from being a guide, he went to the relevant departments to ask why they didn’t give me Lao Jiang’s documents? Do you look down on me, Lao Jiang?
It is estimated that he also wanted to imitate Lao Tian, but unfortunately he was frightened by Lao Tian and refused to do so.
These daring directors can do anything.
Cao Yang also read the document at Lao Tian's house. Well, it is probably of great collection value.
Although the Nortel department has no advantage in review, as long as the school is willing to promote it, the senior leaders personally intervene, and there are no problems with the film, the review is still very fast.
It only took sixteen days for the review to pass without any modifications.
In other words, it is completely legal and legal for "Alone on the Beach at Night" to be exhibited abroad.
After Cao Yang found out, he was still very happy, so he went to Tianzhuangzhuang and asked: "Brother, our movie has passed the review. Do you have a familiar film selector?"
Lao Tian was a little confused, "Why are you looking for a film selector?"
Now it was Cao Yang's turn to be confused. If he wanted to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, wouldn't he first need to be recommended by the selectors of the Chinese film section before he could participate?
It is said that films recommended by more talented film selectors can be directly selected into the main competition unit.
The reason why he approached Lao Tian was because Lao Tian had also participated in the Berlin Film Festival. His "The Eunuch Li Lianying" also entered the main competition and won a consolation so-called special encouragement award.
Don't underestimate this kind of special award. Winning this award means that either your film selection is great or your connections are great.
“Don’t you need a film selector’s recommendation to go to Berlin?”
Lao Tian wanted to turn around and leave. He was a little confused whether this little bastard was deliberately angry with him. Then he thought that Cao Yang was still a student, so it was normal to not understand.
But he couldn't help but kicked Cao Yang.
"You want to be a shitty film selector. You are a student. This film is nominally a student's practical film. The school pays more attention to it than you. Do you still need to worry about this? Just wait for the notification."
Cao Yang nodded to express his understanding. He really didn't know this. Even in his previous life, although he had been in the industry for a long time, he had never been exposed to such "high-level" things.
All you need to know is that you need to find a good film selector to participate, and that will be half the success.
"What's going on with Li Xiaoran? What did Teacher Lin say?"
"What else can I say? Just keep doing the same thing, channel your emotions, have some fun, get in touch with society more, hang out with more friends, and see you less. After three to five months, you'll basically be out of it."

Lao Tian didn't feel particularly emotional when talking about this. In his or other directors' eyes, isn't it normal for actors to enter the scene? Not something to be fussed over.
There are more romances due to drama. Is it because two people really love each other?
Fall in love with each other.
Some movies or TV series are shot for half a year or more. The male and female protagonists get tired of being together every day and fall in love in the drama. The characters of the male protagonists are very good. If they put in a little emotion, it will not be a thunderous hook. Huo——How can there be such a good man in reality. Almost all the advantages you fantasize about can be found in the male protagonist. It’s fucking hard not to think about it.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Did you see what Li Xiaoran's company said? This kind of thing is normal. Although there are methods and experiences in acting, unless you are particularly talented, you just want to play the role well until the end. Everyone will be in the show.”
"The difference is that Methodists will put up a wall in their hearts, and they can act faster. For people like Li Xiaoran who have never studied acting, unless they form a fixed acting pattern and act the same in everything, they will not be able to play a good role. , it’s easy to get into the play but hard to get out of the play.”
"You still have too little experience. Once you make a few more movies and see more, you will stop watching."
Tianzhuangzhuang was afraid that there would be a shadow in Cao Yang's heart, so he specially comforted him with a few words.
"Okay, I understand, senior brother."
Cao Yang thought for a while and then added, "The teachings in Chinese Opera are good. No wonder Lu Liping and Xu Fan came out of the show so quickly."
Lao Tian was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and kicked him.
In the following days, Cao Yang no longer cared about the movie, nor did he ask how the school operated. He only focused on class and considering the choice of his next movie.
After waiting until the school was out for the winter vacation, Cao Yang had some ideas in his mind, but he was still a little hesitant. After all, after the movie was filmed, he didn't know if the actors would be able to bear it after participating in the filming experience.

You have to consider it carefully.
After the winter vacation, Cao Yang returned to his hometown. His parents were very happy for the first few days and provided him with delicious food and drink every day, which lasted for... three days.
Three days later, it was my mother first, who was picky and disapproving. She felt that she got up late every day, that the room was not tidied, that the bathroom was not cleaned...nothing was right.
Then my father was implicated. Every time he scolded Cao Yang, it always ended with his fault.
Then, Dad asked Cao Yang when school would start, and said it would be good to go back to school early after the New Year...
I finally made it to the 17th. This day is the traditional northern festival-Zao Sacrifice, which can also be regarded as a small year.
Cao Yang was woken up early in the morning, and his mother asked him to clean up neatly. Today, the whole family will be cleaned, and Cao Yang is the main force.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Yang received a call from Hou Keming, telling him the good news that "Alone on the Beach at Night" was successfully selected for the main competition unit of the 51st Berlin International Film Festival.
Then the phone kept ringing, from Lao Tian, from Teacher Situ, from Wang Jinsong, from Ding Jiali, from Sun Honglei, from Xiaomi from the coal boss...

The point is that Xie Fei also called.
Teacher Xie said on the phone that three Chinese-language films were selected for the main competition this year, including Wang Xiaoshuai's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" and Wanwan's "Love You, Love Me."
Wang Xiaoshuai is an 85-year-old graduate of the directing department. His teachers at that time were the old department director Zheng Dongtian and the current department director Xie Xiaojing.
In other words, Wang Xiaoshuai is very well-connected in the school and can be regarded as a direct descendant of the directing department.
Zheng Dongtian has a good relationship with Xie Fei.
Both of them also said hello to Xie Fei. The school's intention was that they were not outsiders, and they should do their best to support him if they could. It would be best if they all supported him, and at least one of them should be guaranteed to win the grand prize.
In addition, Wanwan also asked someone to find Xie Fei's good friend, and they also wanted Xie Fei to take more care of him.
Xie Fei had a headache.
Tian Zhuangzhuang's movie "Blue Kite", what kind of subject is it? Just the word "what", they said that my chapter violated the rules and directly deleted more than 200 words of mine. I have already revised it.
I beg you all for your support, monthly votes or recommendations. Thank you.
