Chapter 496 I want to participate in the film festival!
"Director Zhang, do you have any other instructions?"
It's so late and he's still not leaving. He must have something to say. Wu Di also knows Zhang Feng's routine very well.
In terms of physical distance, the two of them are still like innocent middle school students, but that is also because of limited conditions.
If you want to go further, you have to do it under the eyes of Lao Zhang and his wife, which is somewhat embarrassing.
It's not impossible. With the current attitude of Lao Zhang and his wife, they probably want them to make rapid progress.
However, neither Wu Di nor Zhang Feng has this intention at the moment.
As for Wu Di, he feels that if he wants to officially get together with Zhang Feng, he must achieve some results before talking about it.
It's not that Wu Di was eating from the pot and looking at the food in the bowl, or that he wanted to deliberately delay Zhang Feng, but that this time he really wanted to get a stable relationship.
Since you are sincere, you must show your attitude.
The previous irresponsible attitude of coming when called and gone is definitely no longer possible. Even if Zhang Feng was fine, Wu Di would not be able to take action.
For Zhang Feng, her concerns are more practical.
This is where?
This is Zhang's house, right under Lao Zhang's nose, and there is that mother who is always ready to listen to the wind. In such an environment, how do you want Zhang Feng and Wu Di to develop further?
The slightest disturbance can alarm the old couple, and now they live in two houses, one in the south and one in the north.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, they are living together, people in this house still know very well that there has always been an innocent relationship between the two.
If at this time, whether Wu Di moves to Zhang Feng or Zhang Feng moves to Wu Di, he will always be scrutinized by various acquaintances and troubled parents.
The gossip and all kinds of pointers, combined together, can only make Zhang Feng irritated.
What to do?
Of course, I have to endure this moment first. When the skin change is officially released and Wu Di and Zhang Feng feel closer, everything will fall into place.
Zhang Feng even had an idea that if possible, it would be a good idea to move out and live together with Wu Di.
Regardless of whether it is for the sake of the young lovers' love for each other, at least this way she can have a good reason to get away from her parents' eyes and live a relaxed life.
That is to be yourself to a certain extent.
However, it's not possible yet.
Like Wu Di, Zhang Feng is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to prove to her father. Both she and Wu Di have placed their bets on the film Skin Change.
Wu Di used it as a stepping stone to gain a foothold in the industry, while Zhang Feng was waiting to use it to hand in answers to his father.
Therefore, even if we are anxious, we can only maintain the status quo for now.
"Let me ask you, why don't you want me to use Skin Change as the opening film of the film festival?"
For some reason, Zhang Feng suddenly raised such a question and stared at Wu Di with that cold look.
Wu Di was hit by several arrows and almost fell to the ground.
"What other reasons could there be? Didn't I already say it at noon?"
"Director Zhang, haven't you already expressed your understanding, so don't bother us anymore. Wouldn't it be better to leave your youth to more worthy questions?"
Zhang Feng just wanted to sneer and talk about youth and thinking, which is even more suspicious!
"Still not telling?"
Zhang Feng took a few steps closer and touched Wu Di's ankle with his delicate hands.
"You...what are you going to do?"
"Torture...torture to extract a confession?"
Wu Di was so frightened that he stammered. Although according to his understanding of Zhang Feng, she was not such a vicious woman, but who knew?
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, who can say accurately?
Especially now, Zhang Feng still has a smile on his face, and if he says he doesn't feel guilty, that would definitely be a lie.
"How is that possible?"
"I feel sorry for you. Who makes you refuse to tell the truth? I think it must be because your body is too painful and uncomfortable, so you can't tell what is a lie and what is the truth. I
I am the director and your elder, so of course I have to take more care of you."
"Yes or no?"
Zhang Feng said it nicely, but you started to exert force on your hands, bit by bit, inch by inch.
"No, no!"
"Auntie, don't be serious!"
"I said, I said it's not okay?"
Wu Di had a grimace on his face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
At this point, being able to choose not to tell the truth would certainly not be beneficial to Zhang Feng.
If she hears this, she will definitely not be happy, so why bother making such a fuss?
However, Zhang Feng was obviously very determined.
She has not yet understood what kind of blow what will happen to her will be.
That blow was very serious!
Very scary!
Even fatal!
"Say it!"
"Actually, it's nothing," just say it. This was all forced by Zhang Feng. When the time comes, if it makes her unhappy, don't blame her again.
Zhang Feng withdrew his hand and looked at him with his fists clasped, and Wu Di finally made up his mind.
"Actually, if it's not a movie with a new skin, if it's a literary film, or a commercial literary film with a skin, I'd be in favor of going to a film festival. However, ours is a commercial blockbuster, and it focuses on fantasy.
As for the theme of love, I think this type of movie is not in line with the mood of the film festival at all."
"Why doesn't it fit?"
“Are there any special tendencies of the film festival?”
What Zhang Feng said is quite good. Compared with the wide variety of international film festivals, the current domestic entertainment film festivals are indeed relatively single in category.
For example, among international film festivals, there are many that specialize in promoting literary films, niche genres, and experimental films.
The European Film Festival, which currently represents the authority in the industry, has many sub-sections under the main section, just to give a platform for those literary and artistic films, documentaries, and even cartoons that are well-received but not popular.
As for the opening and closing films of these film festivals, they have attracted much attention, because the original style of the film festival is relatively high, so in order to maintain this style, more care must be taken in selecting films.
Generally, the opening film will be a film that has a good reputation and is more literary and artistic in that year. If the director is a direct descendant of the film festival, it will be easier to operate.
The closing films mostly use high-definition restored versions of old movies using new technologies. These movies are all classics, but they are rarely shown in movie theaters today.
Therefore, it is a good choice to use regular playback equipment for re-screening at film festivals.
At the same time, by screening these classic films, we can also attract investment to some film companies.
However, the current domestic entertainment film festivals are not so particular, and the selection of opening and closing films is more casual.
Therefore, if Director Huang really has intentions, Changing Skin might actually be able to rush forward.
But, this really doesn't work.
It would be bad if it happened.
"Of course the film festival does not have its own special tendency, but, Director Zhang, what I say next may be a bit harsh, so I hope you won't be angry."
Before Wu Di elaborated again, he still gave Zhang Feng a vaccination as usual, and Zhang Feng looked disdainful.
"That's long-winded. Do you want to say it or not?"
Of course I don’t want to say it!
If you hadn't forced me, could I have said it?
"So-called film festival screenings, you have to show the whole film. With all due respect, for some films, the earlier some clips are shown, the easier it is to arouse people's imagination, thereby increasing the curiosity during the official screening."
"The box office will also continue to rise."
These nice words are reserved for other excellent movies, but they are not used to describe Skin Change. Zhang Feng heard this very clearly.
So, when Wu Di paused, she didn't reply.
Just waiting quietly like this, waiting for Wu Di's next so-called ugly words.
"However, for some movies, commonly known as "Death in the Light", if you are not careful, you may not get good reviews, but ruin the brand."
"Director Zhang, our movie is aimed at the Spring Festival, so it's a battle we can only win but not lose!"
"It's an absolute battlefield fight, there can't be any mistakes."
Although Wu Di expressed it very tactfully, he has already said everything that should and can be said. It just depends on Zhang Feng's choice.
Actually, this matter is not that complicated.
No matter what Zhang Feng thinks now, didn't she already make it very clear at noon? Let's put it aside for now.
Since I didn't insist on it at that time, I certainly won't change my mind suddenly now.
Wu Di's eyes were somewhat affectionate. Regardless of whether Wu Di felt it himself or not, at least that's how Zhang Feng felt.
"You mean, changing your skin means dying in the light?"
"If it premieres early, it's easy to screw yourself up?"
Look, the same thing can't be expressed tactfully? Zhang Feng has always been so careless.
"Absolutely. You said it yourself."
"I didn't mean it as harshly as I said."
"Whether it sounds bad or not, doesn't it mean the same thing?" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes a few times and stood up to leave. Wu Di quickly pushed the wheelchair forward: "What?"
"Angry?"
"Don't be so suspicious. It's just a joke. I'm not that cautious."
He even said he was careless and his face drooped.
"I also know that what you said is all for the sake of the movie."
"It's good that you know I mean well." Wu Di breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, box office is enough, what else are you pursuing?
These days, there's no shame in making a bad movie that hits the box office. It's the bad movie that makes a big hit at the box office that matters most.
The movie "Skin Change" is very popular at first glance. If it hadn't been like this today, Wu Di would have thought that Zhang Feng had given up on it.
From the moment he put the bid in, he already understood the project clearly.
I just go there to make money. If I can get a good reputation, it will be an unexpected bonus.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Feng seemed calm and composed. In fact, Zhang Feng actually had the intention to show off at the film festival.
What a dangerous activity this is!
Fortunately, Wu Di stopped him, otherwise he would have caused serious trouble!
"However, although I know you have good intentions, don't think that I make movies just for money."
If I wasn’t doing it for money, what else could it be for?
Although Wu Di didn't say it out loud, he gave Zhang Feng such a look. Zhang Feng could definitely see it based on their familiarity.
"Of course it's for art!"
"I'm telling you, don't underestimate me. Although I took a commercial route in my first film, once I gain popularity and money, I will make art films!"
"I have written the script!" Suddenly, Zhang Feng clenched his fists and swore to Wu Di. Such behavior did not receive much response.
As for herself, she seemed to have relieved a heavy burden in her heart, so she opened the door and walked away lightly.
gone……
Just leave like that?
This is too easy!
Looking at the closed door and the fluttering curtains, Zhang Feng just left, leaving not even a trace of Mo Hu's back.
Wu Di looked at the bed not far away, feeling lost.
His xx!
If I had known better, I wouldn't have chased these few steps, and would have gone to bed by myself, with his feet!
It really hurts!
Zhang Feng didn’t know how to help him!
…………
Wu Di, who had no one to support or take care of him, arrived at the set safely with the help of Director Huang's driver.
Zhang Feng, who said she was not angry, went out early this morning, but Wu Di didn't even see her exhaust.
Obviously, the so-called not being angry was all a lie. Wu Di could even imagine the scene where she was bragging about not being angry, returning to her room, gritting her teeth, and jumping up and down with anger.
The crew for the short film has a limited number of people. Except for Director Huang, who is a big name, the other staff members seem to be newcomers.
This aspect is somewhat similar to Wu Di, a newbie in the acting world, and it fits perfectly.
This is the advantage of a new team. They can do things quickly and without too much trouble. Once the goal is determined, they will move forward without hesitation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Di is also willing to cooperate. Although it is somewhat difficult to move with his injured leg, he still works hard to persevere.
It's not because the opportunity is rare or because I'm waiting to use such a public welfare video to gain recognition, but because of professional habits.
The famous comedy director Billy Sr. said that movies are just movies, and movies are nothing special. There are more pleasures and happiness in life that are worth discovering.
Looking at Old Billy's directorial resume, it can be said that he started making comedies as soon as he entered the industry. And these comedies, looking back from today's perspective, are basically excellent works, and there is no vulgar element at all.
.
In fact, compared with those serious dramas and stream-of-consciousness literary films, it is more difficult to make a good comedy that the audience likes to see.
Restricted by genres, comedies have a wider audience. It is definitely not an easy task to be able to make such a wide audience laugh, make them feel relaxed and happy, and gain spiritual satisfaction.
However, even such a master who holds many comedy classics never thinks that what he is doing is so great or noble.
He just likes movies, loves movies, and does it well.
For Wu Di, talking about big principles or shouting a bunch of slogans are boring behaviors and are not necessary at all.
I'm not that greedy, and I don't want to quickly grow into a money-making machine, but I'm also not that vague. When it comes to movies, it's all about pursuit and aesthetics.
You are a newcomer who relies on the recognition of others to get performance opportunities, so what high-profile song do you want to sing?
