Chapter 418 Recommendation
Sanya has been famous for a long time!
It has become a popular tourist destination since the 1980s. The iconic attraction "Tianya Haijiao" can often be seen in magazines and postcards...
Of course, Shen Xudong did not come to Sanya for tourism...
This year’s Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony was held in Sanya!
Although the Golden Rooster Award is very watery, and for "Outstanding Citizen", it has no effect in encouraging new filmmakers.
This movie came out last September!
It has already won awards from the University Student Film Festival, Changchun Film Festival, Chinese Film Media Awards, etc.!
At this time, the Golden Rooster Award is of no use anymore...
The main reason why Shen Xudong came here was that the jury told him that the Best Screenplay Award was his...
By the way, I applaud Chen Daoming for winning two Golden Rooster Best Actor Awards!
He already won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor once with "My 1919"...
Oh, this is his idea - no matter how rigid your Golden Rooster Award is: never win it twice!
This rule probably originated from the era of planned economy. Everyone should carry forward the spirit of collectivism. No matter how good a person's acting skills are, they are not allowed to be alone.
The problem is that Director Chen won the Venice Best Actor for "Outstanding Citizen"!
Well, Director Chen didn’t come at all!
120 Miss Worlds from five continents
The reason is simple: I didn’t win the prize…
You think it’s outrageous?
Haha, it would be great if I could nominate you!
Xia Yu's "Sunny Days", which won the Venice Best Actor that year, was not even nominated for the Golden Rooster Award!
The current Golden Rooster Awards are of little use to the winners, and mainstream commercial films and filmmakers will not pay attention or care.
The award-winning cup is not valuable; what is valuable is the work to which the award is based.
Then why does Shen Xudong come again?
Nonsense, if you really win the award, the Huairou government will reward you with millions!
——Major cities and regions have relevant film subsidies and support policies, including the clause that those who win the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award will receive cash rewards!
Without this thing, who would have time to attend the so-called award ceremony?
…
Arriving at the hotel, a group of reporters gathered around the door...
No matter how much you stretch your hips, the Golden Rooster Award is still the number one award...
Moreover, the theme of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards is to celebrate the centenary of Chinese film!
It is definitely worth reporting, and many stars are here: Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, Liu Ye...
Amou is here!
By the way, there are 120 Miss Worlds from five continents...
The specifications are definitely enough!
However, Shen Xudong's arrival must have attracted many reporters, asking about his trip to the United States...
"Yes, an adaptation called "The Price of Salt"... probably won't be released in China. The theme is same-sex love... It's indeed a prize-winning work..."
"The cost is not high, more than 10 million U.S. dollars... Many independent film companies in Hollywood use low-cost productions to compete for awards. The cost of "Brokeback Mountain" was only 13 million U.S. dollars!"
"...Whether I can win the prize or not is not up to me! I can only do my best!"
"...What's gained...Nothing gained...Casting...I'm just providing some opinions. It's impossible to use Chinese actors for both heroines. After all, this movie has to compete for awards. To compete for awards, it can't be too marginal..."
"I don't want to go to the United States to develop. The Chinese market is so big, so why should I go to the United States? Who knows me?"
I briefly answered a few questions that reporters were more concerned about, and then it was a more routine interview - it is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema. You must say a few words of blessing. It is your first time in Sanya and you can talk about your feelings...
After a delay of about half an hour, Shen Xudong finally entered the hotel!
Before she could rest, Gao Fenfen called. She quickly changed her clothes and followed her to meet various seniors in the industry.
Although this group of people has little public fame, their words are effective within the circle - when I was young, there was already a group of uncles who chose people to talk to. At that time, I thought, these old guys are already old and have no power, so why should they choose? Later I found out that some of them had seniority!
Circle, that’s it!
You have to have the approval of powerful people...
The film industry is very closed...
At about 12 o'clock in the evening, Shen Xudong had to go back to his room.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Xudong went downstairs to eat.
Itinerary... There is not much itinerary, Shen Xudong will just receive an award.
The organizing committee did not even arrange for him to present the award.
There hasn’t been much going on recently - the situation of "The Great Butler" has been confirmed. The original cast will be used, the main characters will remain the same, and the new role of Yuga will be added. It must be an ethnic minority actress!
Yes, Tong Yali has already starred in Xiao Yushuang...
Chen Xi found an actress named Reyza.
Quite suitable!
After talking to Shen Xudong, the latter nodded casually: "You figure it out..."
"You are a producer, why do you mean we have to do whatever you want?"
"I am the producer of the first one, you can do the second one!"
"...What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"...I can't go to school...I still have to prepare my thesis!"
This is a valid reason!
But Chen Xi... is also from the National Theater Department: "Don't your juniors and seniors in the Department of Drama and Literature have to do internships with groups outside? As for your graduation thesis... how long will it delay you?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a long time, and then thought of something: "...I have to keep an eye on the filming of "Life Events"..."
"Looking at the filming?" Chen Xi asked back: "...Didn't you say that your teacher strongly recommended a young director named Han Yan?"
"You also know that he is a young director and has never made a movie before, so I am not allowed to stare at him?"
"Then..."Crazy Stone", why don't you stare at it?"
"... Ning Hao has already made two movies, and has also been an executive director on a TV series. He is already a very mature director... Besides, the script of "Crazy Stone" was written by someone else!"
Han Yan is majoring in Chinese opera, film and television. His class teacher, He Keke, thinks highly of him. He publicly said: "The class of 25 students can be divided into 8 levels, and Han Yan is the first level."
Teacher Huang should also have seen his short films...
Professor He Keke is a well-known teacher of Chinese opera. Later, he had a good relationship with Xu Zheng. He became the planning director of Zhenledao Company and planned "Beloved"... and "My Heart Is Flying"...
Shen Xudong just wanted to give it a try and told Teacher Huang that he needed a director to direct a movie, and then Teacher Huang recommended Han Yan...
Originally, Shen Xudong should have made an appointment with Han Yan directly. Wasn't he busy going to the United States?
Shen Xudong sent the script to Han Yan and asked him to write the storyboard script and the shooting plan before December 20th...
Scene, matinee, night;
Indoor, outdoor;
Props needed…
Makeup, costumes, including actors, Shen Xudong will make the final decision!
The shooting schedule that Shen Xudong wants to see is one with priorities, such as the arrangement of important scenes and important plots...
As for the director's control over the crew and the camera...
This thing is too demanding for a novice director!
We need to discuss it with photography and art before we can come to a conclusion.
Chen Xi probably understood and nodded: "Then you should work on "Big Events in Life" first!"
