Chapter 285: Mr. Shu won five awards in a row, netizens were shocked
As the last award awarded by the Shanghai Film Festival, the gold content of the Golden Goblet Award for Best Film in the main competition unit can be imagined.
Of course, this is not the first time for Li Yuchang and many of the filmmakers present to participate in the Shanghai Film Festival.
But this is the first time this complicated mood has appeared.
In the past, it was not uncommon for art films to win the Best Director and Best Picture awards at the Shanghai Film Festival.
But generally directors are people whose strength and status in the industry have long been recognized.
So even though I didn't win the award, I was still very polite on the surface.
Congratulate when you should applaud and congratulate.
But this year, a dark horse like "Hello! Mr. Tree" suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is indeed rare.
It can no longer be described as an upset, because the number of prizes won by the other party is indeed too many.
If the last Best Picture wins, it will really be a complete dark horse.
This movie and director Chen Jinyu's name will suddenly become celebrities in the industry.
In addition, many people actually know that the more important person in this movie is not here today.
That is Xu Ji, who previously won the Media Award for Best Screenplay.
This movie was written by Xu Ji, and his company invested in it. Although Chen Jinyu is the director, Xu Ji's importance in it is obviously no less than the director himself.
Many of the directors of art films at the scene, or people in this circle, had had head-on conflicts with Xu Ji before.
Although there were too many people, Xu Ji obviously couldn't remember it, and even Li Yuchang, a first-line director, Xu Ji, had no impression of it.
But Xu Ji’s name has become a public enemy in many places.
For such a person to win so many awards at the Shanghai Film Festival is simply a slap in their face.
By the way, aren’t you saying that I, Xu Ji, don’t understand artistic films?
This is not easy. The worst thing is to write a script and recruit people to make one.
These people don't know that the key to the birth of this movie is Chen Jinyu, a halfway monk director.
They will only think that Xu Ji's sudden foray into the field of literary and artistic films is deliberately targeting people like them.
"Shanghai Film Festival, Golden Goblet Award for Best Film in the Main Competition..."
"The winner is "Hello! Mr. Tree"!"
......
The scene once again fell into a strange scene of silence.
This time Ning Jingshan, who had no ill intentions towards Xu Ji, was the first to take the lead in applauding.
There was a relatively unified round of applause at the scene.
As a director, Chen Jinyu came on stage to receive the award and was already a little numb.
He didn't expect that he would be able to be so prominent this time.
I don’t know how many times I have just gone on stage to receive the award, and even my acceptance speech was a little short of words.
He didn't notice the strange looks from some people around him, thinking to himself, if he had known this, he should have spent more money and listened to Liu Baofeng and bought a better suit.
......
"Is it true? How many awards has the movie "Hello! Mr. Tree" won?!!"
"Stop counting. In fact, as long as you know that it is the best director and best picture this time, you will know that it is definitely the biggest winner."

"Didn't you see? Li Yuchang's face was so ugly. I really thought he would at least get the Best Director award this time, but in the end he didn't even get the Media Award."
"Actually, it probably has little to do with this. You see, Ning Jingshan still has nothing to gain. He was also one of the directors that everyone was optimistic about before the awards began. But he still behaved relatively calmly. Li Yuchang seems to be because of Xu Ji's incident
."
"Oh, when you said that, I remembered that Li Yuchang was still scolding Xu Ji on Weibo at that time. Is this considered a slap in the face by Xu Ji?"
......
Li Yuchang was naturally aware of the glances cast by people around him from time to time.
But he didn't even pretend to be dissatisfied at this time.
Li Yuchang does have great opinions on the Shanghai Film Festival's jury.
Although he had watched the movie "Hello! Mr. Tree", he had opinions about Xu Ji and looked at it with a critical eye, so even though he knew the quality of the movie, he was still not convinced.
Especially Chen Jinyu, whose face he almost vomited on the podium today made him angry.
If Xu Ji had come to film the movie himself, he might not be so unhappy.
The key is that Xu Ji didn't even come to the film festival. He was the screenwriter of the film, and then he found a new director who was obviously making a film for the first time to direct it.
The key is this, I still beat myself up.
His arrogance is evident, and he is also a bit too contemptuous of others!
Of course, it's a pity that Xu Ji couldn't hear Li Yuchang's thoughts at this time, otherwise he would definitely scream that he was wronged.
Not to mention that he didn’t even remember a director named Li Yuchang.
Also, Xu Ji really doesn’t have as much free time as these art film directors. Apart from filming, his main focus is on raising investment.
Xu Ji now has too many identities, and there is only one other person. It is impossible to have a clone. The only way is to write the script and give it to other directors in the company to shoot.
This is something Xu Ji had expected a long time ago.
After all, he has too many excellent movies, TV series, etc. in his brain, and he can’t shoot them all by himself.
That’s why I trained my own crew from the very beginning.
It is still a super-scale training. From the beginning, the idea was not to put everyone in the same crew.
......
No matter how unhappy Li Yuchang is, this year's Shanghai Film Festival has come to an end.
In the end, "Hello! Mr. Tree" won five awards directly.
Two of them are the Golden Goblet Awards, the most valuable main competition unit.
The other three, including Xu Ji's own Best Screenplay Award, are all media awards and have relatively weak influence.
But it’s definitely not just any literary film that can easily win the award.

Although not many netizens pay attention to literary and artistic films, many have never even watched a single literary and artistic film.
Because the subject matter is generally too heavy, many people are exhausted from work and life. When they have time, they would of course prefer to watch a commercial film that can relax them.
But this does not affect the news that "Hello! Mr. Tree" killed everyone at the Shanghai Film Festival Awards Ceremony and directly appeared on Weibo's hot search.
In particular, the starring role of this movie is the same actor who originally played Xu Sanduo, and the screenwriter is Xu Ji.

Even if it is a literary film, it still attracts the attention of many people.
This time, the film directly won five awards at the Shanghai Film Festival, which is equivalent to indirect publicity.
It’s just that the movie hasn’t even been submitted for review yet, so it will probably take quite some time before it’s released.
Ordinary viewers missed the screening at the film festival and cannot see it for the time being.
"Damn it, why did Xu Ji start writing scripts for literary films? Is he still so good?"
"To give you some cool knowledge, the Shanghai Film Festival is one of the three most influential film festivals in China for literary and artistic films. It is not a parallel import."
"Xu Ji nb! I think from the scripts Xu Ji has written before, he is very suitable for the stories of some literary films, and the audience who likes to watch literary films will probably be more able to accept the extent of his knife attacks."<
/p>
"Fa Dao? You thought Xu Ji too well! As one of the few viewers who has watched "Hello! Mr. Tree" at the film festival, I tell you that after watching this movie, you will really feel
A feeling of being out of breath."
"F*ck! Is it true or false? When you say that, I want to see it."
"Isn't it that the guy upstairs has some weird quirks? Has he become a habit of being abused?"
"This movie is indeed a good movie, but the fact that it was able to kill everyone at the Shanghai Film Festival this time is actually related to the fact that there were no strong opponents at the same time. I will review most of the films in the film festival every year and tell everyone clearly,
In fact, my biggest regret is that Liu Baofeng did not win the Best Actor. His performance in the movie is definitely the pinnacle of domestic actors!"
......
Perhaps the officials of the Shanghai Film Festival did not expect that this film festival was over, but suddenly so many people began to pay attention to it.
A large part of the reason is because Xu Ji is not like an ordinary filmmaker in the literary and artistic film circle. He does not get much attention and has a relatively large number of fans, which is rare among directors.
In addition, Youman was also surprised to hear so many news about winning awards at the Shanghai Film Festival.
When Xu Ji said she had signed a contract with a new director and asked him to directly direct a new movie on his own, she was a little surprised.
After all, there are already a lot of directors under Tongji Entertainment, and many of them have not yet obtained the right to film alone.
This director should be a famous director?
But it was obvious that she was overthinking it. The other party was a complete newcomer, and his previous occupation was a truck driver.
However, after hearing that the investment cost was less than 10 million, Youman didn't care much.
Such an investment cost is so small that it was not even one-third of the first "The Best of Us" that Xu Ji shot when the company was first established.
This is because the company paid the leading actor Liu Baofeng a relatively high salary. Although Liu Baofeng said he could star for free, Youman still gave him a fairly good salary budget.
After all, Liu Baofeng’s current net worth is already quite high thanks to his role as Xu Sanduo.

Even if it’s a literary film, it’s hard to get one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.
But even so, Liu Baofeng's salary is only over one million.
In the final analysis, this movie is a proper low-budget project for Tongji Entertainment.
Even if you lose money, you won’t lose much.
In fact, when Youman heard that it was a literary film, he had already planned to make a loss on the film.
But I didn’t expect that this movie would suddenly shine at the Shanghai Film Festival.
The key is that it has aroused the attention and curiosity of many people, and it is considered a free publicity.
If it is released in the future, it is true that the cost may not be recovered.
Of course, people should pay attention to literary and artistic films when they are curious, but if some viewers really want to spend money to watch them in the cinema, that is a completely different matter.
The vast majority of literary films basically lose money.
It’s not surprising that some of them don’t even get a chance to be screened due to sensitive subject matter.
......
Originally, it was over because of this incident, but the excitement of the Shanghai Film Festival did gradually fade after a day.
Nowadays, all kinds of news on the Internet are updated too frequently. Even if you have the capital of the three major companies and spend a lot of money, you can't be sure that the hot searches you want will stay on the WeChat hot search list.
So the discussion was still in full swing yesterday, and netizens who said they wanted to watch this movie may have completely forgotten about it today.
Youman didn't pay attention, Chen Jinyu and Liu Baofeng also returned to Chengdu from Shanghai.
We have started preparing for the film to be submitted for review, and we estimate that it will be released in mid-October.
Of course, it is not difficult if you want to release it on National Day.
But first of all, literary and artistic films don't actually have a lot of time, and they have their own fixed audience group.
The second is that the National Day schedule has always been a relatively fiercely competitive movie schedule, with various commercial genres gathering at one time.
Genres like literary and artistic films do suffer a bit.
But what is a bit surprising is that the two of them had just submitted the film for review when they suddenly received news from Youman.
"Hello! Mr. Tree" was actually shortlisted for the main competition in Tunisia, one of the three major film festivals in Europe and the United States.
And as the leading actor, Liu Baofeng was also nominated for Best Actor.
The two of them had only stayed in Chengdu for a few days and were about to go abroad again.
"Sister Man, why didn't I know about this?"
Liu Baofeng himself had never thought of it, and Chen Jinyu had never thought of submitting the film to a foreign film festival.
Youman, on the other hand, although she doesn't pay much attention to this movie, she also knows that it is basically difficult for literary films to gain at the box office. The best choice is naturally to send it to some film festivals and try to win awards.
Youman himself was a little surprised.
She originally just wanted to give it a try and signed up for all the film festivals that are currently relatively influential and have not yet started this year.
For example, the three major film festivals in Europe have obviously not seen Chinese films win awards for a long time.
There are even fewer nominees. Who would have thought that the film made by Chen Jinyu, a newcomer who Xu Ji found from nowhere, would actually be shortlisted for the Tunis Film Festival?

【What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer?】 【】
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, who can explain this kind of thing clearly?
She is also not familiar with foreign film circles.
"I have arranged an assistant for you, hurry up and apply for a visa."
"Whether you win or not, you should at least get familiar with such occasions."
"By the way, I've asked someone to customize new suits for you. Don't wear the ones you wore at the Shanghai Film Festival before."
......
Youman opened his mouth and gave instructions.
She had previously watched the relevant video from the Shanghai Film Festival Awards Ceremony.
As a result, she soon discovered the cheap suits the two of them were wearing. She immediately felt that it was her dereliction of duty and forgot about it.
In the final analysis, neither Chen Jinyu nor Liu Baofeng have fully adapted to the changes in their identities.
You will feel very embarrassed when you go up on stage to receive the award.
It's also because I was used to Xu Ji's casual personality, so Youman didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
For example, Xu Ji wears casual clothes when accepting awards or whatever. When he thinks of it, he wears something a little more formal. If he doesn't think of it, he won't think anything of it if he wears more casual clothes.
Xu Ji's own temperament and mannerisms will actually make people quickly ignore what the other person is wearing.
This was something that Xu Ji had in him from the first day he met him, even though Xu Ji was just a little-known new director at the time.
But he still seems very confident in what he says and does.
At that time, Youman didn't know why Xu Ji was so confident, and even once questioned that Xu Ji was ignorant and arrogant.
But obviously, now, Youman finally understands where Xu Ji's confidence comes from.
If you have such a talent, you really don’t need to doubt yourself.
......
Here "Hello! Mr. Tree" has received an invitation from the Tunis Film Festival.
At the same time, Kiwifruit also suddenly started its own publicity campaign.
Originally, this was a relatively normal thing, but when they saw the promotional materials for this new drama that was announced to be released, many netizens seemed a little surprised.
Because the screenwriter of this drama is actually Xu Ji, and Xu Ji has always cooperated with Station G before, so putting the names of Kiwi and Xu Ji together for a while felt a bit inconsistent. But this does not prevent this drama from arousing the curiosity of a large number of viewers as soon as the broadcast time is announced.
The director is top-tier director Song Lili, the screenwriter is Xu Ji, and the starring roles are all the original cast of "Soldier Assault".
