Chapter 185 Participating in the Tokyo Film Festival
"If you don't report it, how do you know it's impossible?"
Fang Yi asked back.
A great man once said, "Imperialism is all paper tigers." We should abandon the concept of foreign festivals. In fact, these foreign festivals like to give opportunities to the films of emerging developing countries, and China is the leader among developing countries.
handle.
Yu Feihong is a fledgling director, a well-known actor, and a well-known female literary youth. Her debut role was played by others, and others were helping to revise the film.
In 2004, a female director who was in exactly the same situation as her won the Best Director award at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain. She was shocked back home and was given the title of "talented woman".
This person is Xu Cainü, her film is "Letter from a Strange Woman", the actor is also the famous Yang Opera star Jiang Wen.
Yu Feihong's face turned red due to Fang Yi's imagination. She fanned her face with her little hands, her eyes showing a look of hope:
Fang Yi, do you want to read it again?
She took the initiative to give up her seat, and Fang Yi sat down unceremoniously and started playing the film from the beginning while Yu Feihong watched.
Every time a piece of paper is cut off, Yu Feihong will let out a soft cry. On the contrary, if it is kept, Yu Feihong will secretly clench his fist.
But Fang Yi made changes over and over again, overturning his previous decisions from time to time, and starting over again until late at night. He was still energetic, but Yu Feihong couldn't stand it anymore and left the editing room unknowingly.
Fang Yi saw the capital at four o'clock in the morning.
I reviewed my film for the last time and asked Yu Feihong to watch it.
Yu was resting next to the editing room, watching the entire film with red eyes, and said nothing during the whole time.
She didn't jump up to express her surprise, but was dissatisfied, "Fang Yi, you really edited out a lot of content - I think it can be kept."
Fang Yi asked her, "You came here half asleep, but you still understood the film, right?"
Yu Feihong was stunned by his tone and stammered, "Ah... yes."
Fang Yi nodded, "That's fine, this is the effect I want."
"Yu Rongguang is the producer, and the film has to be reviewed by him. Don't tell him that I edited it. Ask him if he understands it?"
Yu Feihong then called Yu Rongguang. This old man came here after a long journey. When he walked in, he saw Fang Yi and Yu Feihong with red eyes, looking like they were overworked. He sniffed subconsciously and made sure that there was no smell of heather pollen.
:
"Is it convenient for me?"
"convenient."
He stepped in through the door and found that there was only one chair. He smiled and asked, "Isn't it really convenient?"
Female Wenqing stamped her feet and said, "Convenient!"
So he went in to watch a movie, and Fang Yi and Yu Feihong came out to breathe the fresh air. The rising sun painted the nearby buildings with splendor, and the entire sky gradually brightened.
Fang Yi calmed down and began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I was a little too involved in the emotion. What I said just now was rude."
"Fang Yi, I'm not just sorry that my ingenuity was not preserved, I'm also sorry for you. You cut off a lot of your own parts."
Yu was talking about the close-up shot of Fang Yi that she shot of stream of consciousness.
Fang Yi: "That's why I want to make a director's cut. If it goes to a film festival, my business style of telling the story clearly will be a bad thing. The judges are all industry insiders. They can see what I did, and they do it every day
They are all doing this; on the contrary, you appear pure, and what you want is a young and yet spiritual shooting technique, which I can’t pretend to be..."
Yu Feihong asked him, "Is it really possible to go to the film festival?"
"Why not."
Fang Yi seemed confident.
Yu Feihong turned sideways and stared at Fang Yi for a long time, "Fang Yi, I like when you talk to me in an unquestionable tone."
Seeing Fang Yi looking over in surprise, she explained, "I was just stating a fact. It did happen at that moment, and I said it frankly. It's... the sunrise, there is light and darkness, and when it is completely bright
, Yu Feihong doesn’t admit that he just said this, so just forget it.”
This time it was Fang Yi's turn to be suppressed.
——Yu Rongguang got very excited when he saw it halfway through, and rushed out to look for them: "Both the literary and martial arts are beautiful. It's a last resort for little people in the big era, but they don't use too much force. Every time I'm afraid that I'm going to start a stream of consciousness, I pull it off immediately."
When I enter the next scene, there is an aftertaste left... I think it can explode."
"Director Yu, awesome!"
Yu Rongguang stretched out his thumb in praise, but Yu Feihong said angrily, "Don't you two collude and continue to lie to me. It's not that I don't know."
After saying this, the three of them were stunned, then looked at each other and laughed.
After Director Yu's lengthy version was also played, Yu Rongguang said bluntly: "Only film festivals will like this version. They are from another dimension and enjoy the pleasure of finding connections and piecing together plots - don't ordinary audiences just think it's weird?"
Urgency to urinate."
Yu Feihong couldn't help laughing, "Fang Yi, tell me which film festival to choose. I want to show my talent to people who are not in a hurry."
Fang Yi tuned to the scene where the monk appeared. Under the shadow of the falling ginkgo leaves, the monk wearing cassocks appeared in front of the field of vision - there is a saying that good actors do not act in scenes that meet the audience's expectations.
This means that you will fall into craftsmanship.
I know you want to cry, I know you want to laugh, I know that a handsome monk is going to come out now. If that's all you do, then you have met my expectations, but you have not given me a surprise.
Fang Yi did the opposite. I directly told you that a handsome guy was about to appear, but when you saw it, you still had to say "Oh my God" because it far exceeded your expectations.
The scene freezes at the moment when the monk raises his head.
Fang Yi also turned around, and the two people kept looking back and forth between him and the picture.
"Now, what film festival do you think is suitable?"
The two said in unison: "Tokyo."
——————
The Tokyo Film Festival is a blessed place for domestic filmmakers. The organizer sets up the "Chinese Film Festival" every year. In addition, the Chinese Film Corps is also a topic that is talked about by media on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Culture and economy are closely related. Oriental films once represented the pinnacle of Asian film art from the 1960s to the 1980s, but then began to gradually decline. In the new century, their status has gone from bad to worse, and in turn, they have become a ladder for Chinese filmmakers.
Become part of the continent.
The chairman of this year's jury is Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu. His representative work is "Tower of Babel". The film reflects the involuntary actions of small people in the great era, the butterfly effect, and multi-line narratives.
, striving to create a full image of each character.
In the middle of the month, I signed up for a new Chinese film - there are many films to be signed up for every year, but in fact most of them didn't get his turn. Before they were sent to the chairman of the jury, they had already fallen in the previous rounds.
Chinese films are more popular at the Tokyo Film Festival because they are culturally close, making it seem like there are no cultural barriers for local moviegoers and they will not be left in the cold during screenings.
As the chairman of the jury, Alessandro also had to take this into consideration.
It is necessary to take into account not only his own taste, but also the emotions of local movie fans.
