When filming "The Tuner", Xiaobao mainly wanted to make money and go for the 300,000 bonus.
I never thought that in the heat of the moment, I was not even shortlisted for the finals and almost couldn't survive. It also reminded myself that I have to leave some room for everything and don't act on impulse.
Since it could not bring in any income, it was forgotten. After giving it to Dongdong that day, he never asked about it again.
Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected surprise.
I started talking about this a month and two months ago.
Dongdong released the micro-movie on Station B. Soon, the film with a thrilling twist gained attention. After watching it, many viewers gave it to their friends, and its popularity became wider and wider.
Some international students abroad thought it was very interesting, so they contacted Dongdong and asked if they could upload it to an external website. Xiaobao had received a WeChat message asking about it, but he immediately agreed and then forgot about it.
I never thought that foreigners would fall for this trick and start a crazy discussion around two points.
First, it must be whether the protagonist is dead or not, and whether the old lady fired the gun.
The second is whether the protagonist has done something bad and is punished.
According to Dongdong, viewers with different views argue in the comment area every day.
In fact, when Xiaobao finished filming the movie, Xiao Zheng also asked this question and he gave an explanation.
The reason for using an open-ended solution is to satisfy the wishes of audiences with different views.
If you think that the protagonist is just peeping, and the crime is not worthy of death, you can completely imagine that the old lady did not find out that he was a fake blind man in the end and let him go.
Or maybe you just like excitement, and you can also imagine that the old lady found the notebook while doing laundry, so she took out the nail gun and kept doing it.
Of course, bugs definitely exist.
There is a sixty-year-old woman on one side and a strong young man on the other. If you really want to resist, there will be no chance.
When someone raised this question, someone immediately refuted it.
Scared!
No normal person has ever seen the scene of the Shark Man. As soon as the protagonist entered the door, he saw a corpse sitting there. He was possessed by fear both physically and mentally, and missed the first opportunity to escape.
And he was also betting that the other party wouldn't be able to tell.
All in all, the comments at home and abroad cannot convince anyone.
When there is controversy, it becomes popular, and more and more people pay attention to it, including the Venice Film Festival.
One of them, William, was a member of this year's jury. By chance, he saw the short film "The Tuner". After watching it, he was shocked. Orientals don't pay much attention to etiquette, justice and shame.
Are you being subtle? Such stark sarcasm is not your usual style.
I started to inquire about who the director was. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was a lot of hard work. It took me a month, layer after layer, and finally I found Dongdong here.
Quite simply, William wants to recommend this work to compete in the short film section of the Venice Film Festival in August.
If you have any hesitation, you must participate!
The judges personally recommended it, so feel good about it.
Dongdong conveyed his intention, and William quickly made a few requests. The first was to provide a movie with original scenes. He didn't know how many times he had watched it, and it was not particularly clear.
Then, I hope Xiaobao can have two additional subtitles in English and Italian.
Xiaobao naturally agreed to this.
In this world, international awards still have little connection with China. As long as you participate, you will be successful.
What's more, they have already planned to put it on the shelf and make money by looking at it.
"What? Are you going to Italy? Wow, there are a lot of beauties there. I want to go."
As the major shareholder of Kiwi, Xiangyang naturally wanted to inform Xiaobao that Xiaobao had no intention of holding back.
Although "The Tuner" was a separate work years ago, it was contributed to the studio to facilitate future development.
"What the hell, I'm just recommending to participate." Xiaobao was not angry.
He, Xiang Yang, and Liu Minghua gathered at home to report on their respective progress, and then talked about the matter.
"It should be the horizon unit!" Liu Minghua was equally happy.
The boss’s work was actually shortlisted, which is absolutely good news for the studio’s future reputation.
"That's right, that's right."
"What's the difference?" Xiang Yang didn't understand: "Isn't it a Golden Lion Award?"
"That's an honor only available for feature films," Liu Minghua quickly found the information: "For example, best picture, director, actors and actresses, and short films. It encourages experimentation and innovation in films to capture the future trends and trends of international films.
"
"If you don't understand, just tell me if it's serious or not." Xiang Yang shook his head.
"Of course it's great. Generally speaking, there are more than a dozen or even twenty works shortlisted. It's quite difficult to stand out," Liu Minghua replied affirmatively: "Although the gold content is not as good as the Golden Lion, this is Qin
The total cost of my debut film was only 60,000 yuan, no matter what, it was full of gimmicks."
He is indeed a professional. He sees things beyond their superficial appearance and has a rough idea of how to publicize them in the future.
Xiaobao glanced at him appreciatively, "Excellent!"
"After talking for a long time, can we go to Italy?" Xiang Yang expressed dissatisfaction.
"It's still early. What will happen in two months' time can't be decided now." Xiaobao shook his head: "However, if you have time, you can go there. Regardless of whether you win an award or not, it is good to gain experience."
"I think you should go, although male stars are no more like female stars. They have to go everywhere on the red carpet to show off their faces." Liu Minghua put forward his opinion: "But, as a director, you are invited to go, whether it is for personal or professional purposes.
The office space plays a huge role, so I suggest you take some time even if you don’t have time, and then look for more foreign stars to take photos with or something like that..."
Xiaobao nodded. He doesn't object to speculation, as long as there is a lower limit.
Taking photos with celebrities is within the acceptable range, but it is shameless to show up uninvited and linger on the red carpet until the security guards come to chase you away.
"Okay, when I come back from Changsha, I'll get my passport first, and we'll get together then."
He has not been abroad yet, and he would definitely like to go out and experience things if he has the chance.
"By the way, let's keep this matter a secret for the time being." Xiaobao thought for a while: "Let's just keep a low profile to the end, and don't announce it. We have gone too far. If we don't win the award, it will be a bit embarrassing."
"...Okay." Liu Minghua was not very supportive, but the boss said it, so just listen.
"Wow, what if you win a few issues of King of Singers, then reveal yourself, bring up the original scandal again, and then get a general, then you can take off immediately." Xiang Yang thought very beautifully.
"I hope so too, so I just have to work harder. According to what you said, it can really cause a scene."
"What do you want Dongbaek to do?" The two of them were curious.
"It's very simple. I apologized. I was criticized verbally and verbally by the media at the time. They were unwilling to say a word and put all the responsibility on me. I was very unhappy."
"What if you don't want to?"
"I will continue to promote songs and let people across the country know that Dongbaek kicked a musical talent out of his own company. I believe that many people in the industry will be happy to see the joke."
