Their current goal is to enter the Water City Film Festival. Regardless of whether they win awards or not, debuting internationally is a step they must go through.
If participating in the College Student Film Festival can have a positive impact on the latter, then Wu Di is naturally duty-bound.
However, based on his way of doing things, he really couldn't see any causal connection between them.
There was no way, only Lao Zhang was willing to reveal something to him about such a professional issue.
"Don't you know?"
"Even movies that premiere in the three major film majors must obtain a domestic distribution license. Without this, how can you sign up?"
"Even with my letter of recommendation, you can't do anything."
"yes."
"I know this, but what does this have to do with participating in the College Student Film Festival?"
Speaking of which, before this, Xiao Qi had had the idea of riding on Lao Zhang's coattails. Knowing that he had connections and status in the industry, if he could help with the operation, he might be able to get it as soon as possible.
to the license.
I can catch up on all the registration matters.
However, on such an occasion, it is naturally inappropriate to mention it to Lao Zhang again.
"Of course it does matter!"
"If you want to get the license as soon as possible, there must be a reason. Otherwise, why would others give you special treatment?"
"Then you mean that by participating in this film festival, you can get a license?"
Wu Di's mind is naturally quite shrewd, and many things might not be so clear to him without explaining them clearly.
However, it only takes one sentence to cover everything.
Lao Zhang lowered his head: "That's the truth."
"Take it!"
"Hurry up and get ready. If you don't perform well, I won't be blamed!"
Lao Zhang has already been sent here, is there any chance that he will not perform well?
If I don’t perform well again, am I still a human being?
Is this the light that comes from kissing my father-in-law?
It’s so dazzling!
…………
To be honest, although the College Student Film Festival is very good, if Wu Di was asked to choose, he certainly wouldn't want to debut in this film festival first.
What is stunning?
What is a massacre?
Wu Di is already prepared. As long as he can attack Shuicheng, he or Xiao Qi will cover the maze tightly.
We will never reveal any details of the plot to the outside world. When the time comes, we will wait for the film festival to catch the judges off guard.
A most gorgeous appearance!
"The results of it?"
"Now it seems like I was discouraged in advance. It's boring."
Although he was reluctant, such good news always had to be informed to Xiao Qi first, and Xiao Qi's reaction was no different from what Wu Di had imagined.
But it was crazy fun.
"You are just looking at the height of the mountain. How rare it is to get such an opportunity. Didn't I say it before?"
"Actually, I didn't have such high expectations for the movie Labyrinth at the beginning. Being able to participate in the College Student Film Festival and win an award is already very good. I have achieved my goal. It was you who pushed me to this height.
of."
"So, I'm quite excited now."
"Let's prepare well. If we can get a nomination or win an award, it will be good for participating in the three majors."
The director himself doesn't care. As a co-director and a freeloader, there is no need to care.
Therefore, Wu Di could only hold back his temper and reminded: "But, aren't you worried that if you win an award at the College Student Film Festival, you will get nothing in Shuicheng?"
"You know, many film festivals have competing tastes."
this……
As soon as the words fell, both sides of the receiver fell into complete silence. The silence was the best display of the two people's moods at this moment.
The autumn wind blows away the dust in my heart, leaving no trace behind.
Xiao Qi seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt falling from the sky. He was completely stunned.
Is there such an unspoken rule in the film industry?
If so, why did Wu Di, a so-called director who became a monk by the way, bring it up?
This was Xiao Qi's mistake.
In fact, this kind of customary rule does exist, but there are not many films that suffer from it, so in many cases, it is not so noticeable.
Let’s not talk about the three major ones, let’s talk about the film festival awards under another system, that is, the Oscars and the Golden Globes.
Although they are held in the same venue, the two awards still have their own emphasis. The Oscars, as we all know, are purely film awards.
Many times, the gold content is still very high.
In particular, the older it is, the higher its gold content, and the selected movies are indeed classics.
Of course, in ancient times, movies, as the most important form of entertainment, also gathered talents from all walks of life.
There were indeed many pure artists in the film industry at that time, and the works they produced were naturally of high quality.
Choosing the winners among these excellent works is entirely a matter of selecting the best among the best. As long as they can win the prize, no one is bad.
As for the Golden Globe Awards, as an important award second only to the Oscars, its attention and star power are not low.
However, one of the biggest differences between the two is that the Golden Globe Awards also reviews TV series. For example, popular TV series, documentaries, and short films every year can be submitted to the Golden Globe Awards, and special awards are provided to them.
Well, judging from the list of previous award-winning films, most of the time it is the Golden Globe-winning film, but there is often no important gain in the Oscars.
This happens, mainly because every year, in terms of time, the Golden Globes are always held earlier than the Oscars.
Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards can be used as a reference for the Oscars, but the reverse cannot be true.
Saying that there are no important achievements cannot be easily equated to not being able to win awards and getting nothing.
In fact, the two awards will be deliberately kept non-overlapping, mainly those that will attract widespread attention.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, best picture, best actor and actress, best director, etc.
As for other awards, there are often many overlaps, but people often don't care.
Will you pay attention to the Oscars for Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Film Score, etc.? Maybe you will insist that you pay attention, but in fact, you don’t pay attention.
You can't remember it at all.
In addition to the awards for Best Actor, Actor, and Supporting Actor at the front desk, the Best Director Award is probably the most watched award among major film festivals.
Therefore, based on the attention of major film festivals themselves and the maintenance of professionalism, in these key awards, the jury often deliberately prevents the winning films from overlapping.
There are very few films that can sweep several major related awards.
For example, the three major awards are also related. Generally speaking, if you win an award in Water City, it will be difficult to win something in Cannes.
A director who frequently wins awards at the Xidu Film Festival will always come back disappointed at film festivals such as Shuicheng.
This also comes from a kind of deliberate control.
Now, what Xiao Qi and Wu Di are facing is just a mere college student film festival. Not only is it not an international award, it has not even made it into the international general A-level film festivals.
Logically speaking, such a film festival would not attract special attention from the three major judges, or would be particularly taboo.
However, I have to say that as the main proving ground for cutting-edge films in the past two years, the University Student Film Festival is still relatively influential.
It is also a place where many young new directors emerge.
If it really wins a major award at the College Student Film Festival, then Shuicheng will really be in danger!
What to do?
In this situation, is it possible to withdraw?
Lao Zhang: Withdraw?
Do you regard the film festival as a private prosecution case? If you want to withdraw it, withdraw it. Does it belong to you to take the initiative?
…………
Don’t win prizes!
Never win a prize!
At night, Wu Di shouted to the mirror and prayed devoutly for the first time.
System: Are you crazy?
There are also actors who don’t want to win awards. This is the first time I’ve seen them in so many years of working in the system.
The system was beeping. Wu Di naturally didn't have a good attitude toward it that hadn't appeared for a long time: "You still have the nerve to jump out?"
"If you feel aggrieved, you might as well change the content of the task. As long as you win the prize, not the top three, then I will sincerely pray to win the prize as soon as possible."
The system was really aggrieved: "Can you please clarify the problem?"
"I didn't say you have to go to the top three majors. Just an A in the international standard. Who told you to go to the top three universities so hard?"
"Is it me?"
Yeah?
It doesn’t seem to be the case!
If I had known this, why would I ask Mr. Zhang and write a letter of recommendation? It’s a waste of brain cells. Can’t I just go to Shanghai and sign up?
Since they are all domestic awards, they will naturally pay more attention to their films, and the quality of the film Labyrinth is clearly evident here.
It should be easier to get a reward.
Tsk tsk...
Misstep.
Big three?
It's really difficult, but you choose the path yourself. Even if it's difficult, you have to finish it on your knees.
After all, those are the three major players. If you win, you can be a lifelong asset!
…………
Some people are still saving their money, and some people have already started to rest on their laurels again. You see, the winners of the three major awards are also, after experiencing the big setback of the steamed buns, Brother Hai can still jump to the top
At this time, he was even able to attract huge investments. Of course, a large part of the reason was that he was the darling of the three major companies and a person who created an era.
He has a lofty status in the film industry, even the broader literary and art world, and in the hearts of ordinary people.
At least, that was the case before steamed buns.
In fact, as the old saying goes, beauties never grow old, and heroes never get short of breath.
For many talented players, maybe it is also a good choice to advance bravely.
Just imagine, if Brother Hai had closed the filming after filming Ji Farewell and never filmed it again, what would his current status and reputation be like?
I’m afraid he has already become a god!
It is impossible for him to fall from the altar. Brother Hai will become a legend in the film industry, a legend. Every time people mention his shocking works, they will be full of praise.
At the same time, it is full of all kinds of conjectures and reveries.
However, the sad thing is that Brother Hai did not stop there, but presented new works every now and then.
Therefore, what he has to face is no longer people's worship of gods, but the judgment of an ordinary film director.
In fact, even before the steamed buns, there were still criticisms against Brother Hai among public opinion, and there were quite a lot of them.
There is even some feedback that his movies often come to an end, cannot tell the story well, and only have emotions.
It can be seen that many problems do not start with steamed buns, nor will they end with the end of steamed buns. They are simply Hai Ge's own problems.
There were warnings, but before the steamed buns, although the stories of Brother Hai’s movies were not that good, they still had a sense of atmosphere and a sense of high-end.
That kind of strong emotion and emotion is enough to intoxicate young literary and artistic people, and it can emphasize a strong character.
However, the situation is different after steamed buns.
The coolness no longer exists!
In the midst of the pulpy plot and weird chaos, even the most devout literary young man can't hold on while pinching his nose.
In other words, as much as there is love, there is also as much hate as there is.
Many of the people who later often scolded Brother Hai, even if no one mentioned it, were always his former fans.
I can't help it, it's so sad and heartbreaking.
Naturally, he went crazy.
And this time, it can be said that Brother Hai has come down to earth for the first time since Steamed Buns to officially shoot a feature film.
Although they say they don’t care and just let nature take its course, can they really let it go?
If he could really let it go, he wouldn't have been quarreling with various people for several years, and he wouldn't have made the new film so grand.
Doesn't this operation just want to show that I am back?
It can be seen that this new film is the key to whether Hai Ge can turn around.
In this battle, Brother Hai also decided to play something a little different.
After going through one, two, or even three levels of relationship, Brother Hai finally met the target person in a certain share house.
Many things, of course, still require face-to-face interviews, so that they are more formal and you can better understand the other person's thoughts.
Wu Di, who had completed the three-word and two-shot shooting, had not even finished swinging the fishing rod when he received an inexplicable invitation.
If it were someone else, forget it, Po Tian, and don't even think of summoning Wu Di who was in a resting state, but it happened to be him!
How is this possible?
No matter what, of course I still need to see this person.
But what about after meeting?
How to deal with it?
This is really a problem.
No matter what, you still have to complete the meeting first. This is the most basic step. Besides, even if it is not to understand the truth, but just to satisfy curiosity, you should not miss such an opportunity.
"Hello, Brother Hai!"
Seeing the familiar tall figure with slightly pale hair from a distance, Wu Di immediately stretched out his hand and greeted him.
Brother Hai has always been aloof.
This can be fully seen from his profile, which is always looking out the window without saying a word.
However, Wu Di is also fearless.
You can't reach out and hit the smiling person!
Even if it is Brother Hai, can he still push aside the enthusiastic young man he invited?
