Chapter 80 Extreme, comparison of film festivals
The shortlist of Golden Rooster still caused some discussion.
Lu Chuan and Lin Nan are the most eye-catching. They are both young directors who have won international film festival awards with their shortlisted films.
The award Lin Nan won was also the Best Director. He was once again nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Director. There are many people who are optimistic about him.
No one has any objection that Ning Hao can be nominated for the best director. The box office performance of "Stone" is so dazzling, but if Ning Hao can win this award, few people may really believe it.
Tian Zhuangzhuang asked Lin Nan about this matter and told him not to be happy too early, at least not to have the mentality of taking everything in his pocket until the results came out.
"Teacher, I am not that superficial. To be honest, so many people think highly of me, but I am worried."
This is Lin Nan's true inner thought. The domestic film festival is causing trouble. But it's very common.
"It's better to worry than to be reassured. It's always better to be more cautious." Tian Zhuangzhuang said.
Following the footsteps of the Golden Rooster, the nomination list for the Golden Horse has also come out.
You won’t know without comparison, but you can see Jin Ji’s embarrassment through comparison.
Over there, there are three major directors competing for the best feature film, "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves", "A Cloud in the Sky", and the last one is competing for this year's gold medal. Bear.
With Hong Kong and Taiwan's leading directors and superstars as the main actors, including many talented actors and rookies, as well as some directors and crew from the mainland, the specifications of the Golden Horse far exceed those of the Golden Rooster.
Lu Chuan rarely spoke in the media, "The significance of "Kekexili" is huge. It illustrates the true meaning of human greed and the nobility of life. I am very grateful to the jury for recognizing this film, and I also I am full of confidence in myself..."
He repeated the awards he won for "Kekexili", indicating that this movie also occupies a certain position and is influential in the world film industry.
"Senior Brother Lu, who is crying, is really stubborn."
Lin Nan felt that Lu Chuan's speech completely put the jury on the stove. If you say this, will they give you the award? Woolen cloth?
People who make movies only do it for awards or box office. "Kekexili" has little connection with box office. When it comes to awards, Lu Chuan is a little hysterical.
......
After looking at some information sent by Guangming, Wang Changtian was very generous this time and paid Lin Nan a large appearance fee. He probably got it from sponsors. Come.
Favors plus labor fees, Lin Nan also has to be dedicated. Looking at their competition process, he will have to speak when the time comes.
Different from the super-female nature of Mango Channel, the selection of Dolphin Channel, Guangguang and sponsors is much more professional.
Participants must at least be graduates or students from professional colleges or related majors, and many contestants already have relevant work experience.
"This seems to be my first time, how about earning appearance fees?"
Lin Nan suddenly thought of this and felt pretty good.
"Have the rematches started already?"
Lin Nan looked at the schedule. The four-month schedule was already in the second half.
Wang Changtian just invited him to make an appearance on the first day of the finals, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
"Huh? How did these two people sign with the Rays?"
The top ten in this event will have the opportunity to become the host signed by Dolphin Channel and the Rays, and become Brand spokesperson.
On the semi-finals list, Lin Nan saw two impressive names, Liu Yan and Xie Nan.
In the profile photos, they are all still very young and not as mature as they seem.
……
Patriotism is very hot these days, and many people love it to an extreme and scary degree.
Before the movie was released, Zhang Ziyi was scolded a lot of very unpleasant things for "Geisha" just because she played an island native.
Liu Yifei was not spared either. She signed a contract with Sony and was cursed by extremists because of her nationality.
In their eyes, as long as their nationality is foreign, they are enemies. No matter whether they are law-abiding or patriotic, if they catch a little bit, she is totally wrong.
Lin Nan never believed that a person could never do anything wrong in his whole life. Such people did not exist.
There are many people with foreign nationalities in the circle, and occasionally a few will retort through the media. Most people are dismissive and unable to communicate with these people.
Liu Yifei, who never pays attention to entertainment gossip, made a rare call to Lin Nan, but Liu's mother and others also ignored her.
"Don't worry about it. As long as we abide by the law and don't do anything wrong, it will be fine. Those people were obviously led by others. They had good intentions, but they were taken advantage of by people with good intentions. Some people are too jealous." Lin Nan said Comfort her.
After finishing the call with Liu Yifei, Lin Nan could not evaluate these people. Their starting point was good, but their ideas were too extreme.
Recalling that the stain she was most criticized for in her previous life was her nationality and teeth, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
There are many popular people, right and wrong, which really makes sense. The more people who like you, the more people who dislike you.
With this wave of public opinion, if there is no pusher behind it, no one will believe it. The reason is easy to find, it is too popular, Zhang Ziyi's resources are too blocking the way, Liu Yifei may be jealous.
"No director can refuse an epic blockbuster, and it is a war scene with a huge number of people."
On the Ulan Tong Banner prairie, six hundred miles away from Beijing, the crew of "Mo Attack" was filming the war scene. Nearly a thousand field soldiers were used in just one scene. The first war scene had two thousand people, including a cavalry phalanx of four hundred cavalry.
Ning Hao looked at these exposed photos and clips with a look of longing.
"What, you have an idea? Then make a script and I will invest for you?" Lin Nan answered.
Ning Hao really thought about it for a while, and finally waved his hand, "It still can't be done. It's a sense of accomplishment to shoot this kind of movie, but if you want to shoot it well, it will be too much work for the director. I'm afraid it won't be completed in one movie. , my body can’t bear it, and besides, I’m better at modern dramas.”
"Always give it a try while you are young."
Ning Hao glanced at Lin Nan, "You are more determined than me." "Youth is your capital, unless you can be like Director Yimou."
As soon as these words came out, both of them laughed.
“Your sister has been following the TV series you directed recently, and she is quite fascinated by it.”
Ning Hao is talking about "Lotus Lamp".
Previously, Lin Nan also told Shu Chang that with this TV series, she can maintain her popularity as an audience for a long time, even if she does not take on roles in the past few years.
Now this has indeed come true. The female lead in the play is the little fox played by Shu Chang.
The second female lead is teacher Liu Xiaoqing. This is the result of the screenwriter adding more roles. Because the acting is so good, Chang'e's position is actually very far behind.
“I read it too, Shu Chang called me specifically to remind me in those days.”
TV Ranking Network, in the overall ranking of TV dramas, the currently popular "Lotus Lantern" ranks second, second only to the imported Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum". When the finale comes in two days, it will probably hit the third place. One person.
“When are you going to Sanya?”
Ning Hao thought of something and asked.
"Just before the closing ceremony. I promised Mr. Wang to attend their host competition finals as a guest."
"That's good. Let's set off together then. Your sister and Huang Bo and the others will arrive in time for the opening ceremony.”
Lin Nan didn't understand at this moment. Is there something wrong with Ning Hao?
“Using money to do things, Mr. Wang is very generous this time, haha.”
Understood!
Wang Changtian was very generous this time. The brand paid a lot of money and actually invited himself and Ning Hao. It seems that they attach great importance to this competition.
Another thought, one of the main businesses of Guangguang is indeed various entertainment variety shows. There is a big gap in the host. The people selected through this form also have entertainment attributes.
"That's good. We have someone to chat with on the plane." Lin Nan smiled.
……
Lin Nan rarely considered advertising issues in his first few films. For commercial films, advertising revenue is also a pure profit method.
This time the "Time Cruise" project was launched, Lin Nan had thought about it specifically, especially the pre-roll ads.
China Film and Chen Kaige's company also issued a special announcement stating that they are the only legal owners of the advertising rights for the "The Promise".
This reminded Lin Nan that the patch advertising matter must be handled more neatly.
For the sake of the movie’s look and feel, he didn’t plan to touch on these in the main film, so all that was left was a pre-roll commercial.
"The news is that this movie is open to in-film advertising, and the main film does not accept advertising insertion."
The company people were a little happy when they heard Lin Nan speak. Many brands had contacted them before Regarding the company, these people suddenly appeared after "Return to Youth".
"Stone" accepted the advertisement, and the profit was very high.
Feng Xiaogang is even more experienced in this trick.
Since the official announcement of "Time Cruise", many people have been staring at the advertisement accompanying the film. Lin Nan said that he was considering it and finally decided today.
"Okay, Director Lin, there are quite a few brands waiting for your words, haha."
"You guys are waiting too, right? Bonus!" Lin Nan teased.
“Haha, that’s what everyone thinks.”
Lin Nan thinks that he gets along well with people in the company. He can joke and fight as long as it doesn't affect his work. He doesn't have Chen Kaige's style of always being aloof.
"When the time comes, let me sort through the brands and quotations first, and finally select a batch of high-quality ones and bring them to me, and then I will make the final order."
"Understood, Director Lin."
There must be advertisements accompanying the film, but not too many. The fewer, the higher the price. Especially Lin Nan’s current status makes this advertising position very popular.
The Busan Film Festival can be said to have slapped the Magic City International Film Festival hard on the face. The opening ceremony of the former featured Asian stars with yellow skin, and did not invite European and American film crews at all. Regardless of the number of participating films or the countries The star cast all crushed the Magic City International Film Festival.
Based on Asia, facing Asia, Asian Film Project...
Although Lin Nan doesn't like this nation, it cannot be denied that others have done better in this regard.
Think about the embarrassing scene at the Shanghai Film Festival in June.
Before the opening, they shouted out which international directors and foreign superstars were invited, but on the red carpet, the promised Almodóvar, Robert De Niro, and Catherine Deneuve did not come. I didn't come, I flattered those European and American people with a coveted face, and ended up breaking the appointment.
It was not until the last day that Brendan Fraser and Morgan Freeman appeared, saving the face of the film festival. Lin Nan once suspected that the appearance of these two people was for "Batman 2" Just came here for publicity.
A lot of domestic media went there, and they sent back some articles in the past few days. Many of them ridiculed the Shanghai Film Festival, almost pointing their noses at it.
The Golden Rooster also added an article, "The upcoming Golden Rooster Film Festival will definitely be a rigorous, fair and realistic film festival!"
This naked backstab. This behavior will probably lead to the reform of the Magic City Film Festival. At least, in Lin Nan's impression, the Magic City Film Festival in 2006 seemed to have really changed a lot.
