Chapter 283 Literary Films Are Reviving
On March 3, the re-evaluation site of the Directors' Guild Commendation Conference.
In the magnificent hotel reception room, more than 300 members of the Directors Association were present.
The Beijing circle, the Northwest circle, the Hong Kong circle, the Shanghai circle, and the sixth generation... have gathered old and new directors in China.
"Next, we will announce the shortlisted films, "Painted Skin 2", "Second Dawn", "[-]", "Lost in Thailand", "Fireworks in the Day"..."
Standing in the center of the stage, Director Jia, as the chairman of the preliminary evaluation, reported the results of the preliminary evaluation to the jury. A total of 24 films were shortlisted.
"Afterwards, all re-evaluation members, please follow the old rules and vote by name within the specified time, select the five nominations for each commendation, and then deliver the voting form to the box."
After the words fell, the crowd standing on the red carpet gave a polite applause.
The crystal lamps on the ceiling are shining brightly, and three long tables are lined up on the ground, displaying all kinds of high-end buffet meals.
Jiang Niangniang held Gu Yingying's hand, like a loving couple, the reason for the bright smile on her face was not love, but her nephew Ye Qintai's future.
""Fireworks in the Day", I heard that the box office in 4 days was 1.3 million, which is about to surpass "White Deer Plain", isn't it?" Chen Sicheng whispered.
"You didn't watch the news?"
Geng Changqing was puzzled, and looked at Chen Sicheng, who was so wicked when he smiled, "The box office data announced by Ye Guangji should not be wrong."
"Do literary and artistic films make so much money?"
"What you said is vulgar." Geng Changqing showed a look of disgust, "The important thing in literary films is not to make money, but to express ourselves, to express our thoughts, and to send the audience a bright spring and white snow."
"Hey, if you don't make money, no investor is willing to show you yourself."
Chen Sicheng waved his hand, and smiled: ""Fireworks in the Day" makes so much money in the name of love, and I will also make a "Yanjing Love Story", and it will also be on Valentine's Day..."
Jiang Niangniang passed by with a smile, and saw Feng Kuo and others faintly visible in the gaps in the crowd. She pulled Gu Yingying forcefully and continued to show her affection in front of others.
"1.4 million, the Golden Bear Award, the Best Actor in Berlin, I think the literary and artistic films may usher in the spring!" Ao Dasong sighed with emotion.
"In the past, literary films were not good, it was because of that audience that the audience was not good, and too many brain-dead films overdraw the life of the film."
Lu Chuan smiled bitterly: "This year's literary and artistic films have great prospects. If my "Looking for a Gun" can catch up with this era, it would be great!"
Shorty laughed and said: "Your movie doesn't have Ye Qin, Ye Qin is the key factor in the box office!"
"........."
Empress Jiang's complexion was red, and wherever she went, she was always nodding among the crowd, and she heard the discussion of "Ye Qin" and "the box office miracle of "Fireworks in the Day"" from time to time.
Nothing is not exciting, nothing is not exciting, a suspenseful literary film that was well received and sold well, completely ignited the flame that was about to extinguish in the hearts of the famous directors of the old era.
"I've been asking someone to search for a book recently, and I plan to make a literary movie."
Feng's trousers were full of yellow teeth, talking about mountains in the crowd.
"..."Private Order", then he is just a business. The big and small kings see that "[-]" lost money, and they have to earn the money back before they are willing to invest."
"Hey, Director Feng is going to shoot literature and art?" Madam Jiang interjected.
"Hey, isn't this the fire brought by Qin Zi?"
Feng Pants was not reconciled, so he filmed "Assembly", "Tangshan Earthquake", and "[-]", but he didn't see any awards in the three major European film festivals.
In the final analysis, the shooting is not artistic enough.
Seeing Zhang Guoshi's reputation overseas, Brother Chen Kai is arrogant in the Beijing circle, he is a dog leg who licks Wang Shuo's superiors, and his inferiority complex forces him to earn back all the shame he lost.
Once you have money, you must also have fame, and you must have prizes to decorate your appearance!
"Have you found a good novel?" Jiang Niangniang asked.
"Hey, I'm looking for Yan Geling. She has a book called "Youth", and she is already changing the script."
Feng Trousers grinned and said: "At that time, sister-in-law, you have to sell me face and let Qin Zi play the leading role. If a literary film has a box office, he must."
"Feng pants, step aside, Qin Zi has to come to me first."
Jiang Wen bit his cigar and held the glass of vodka between his fingers, looking like a gentleman in London, showing up with the glass full:
"My notebook is missing him!"
Jingquan and Qin Chuan Gang contacted and chatted. At the same time, Chief Jia stood calmly in front of a screen, and Ning Hao stood next to the elder brother like a little brother.
""No Man's Land", what did Ye Qin say?"
"No problem, they are all from the Northwest!"
Ning Hao rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "But before the competition, the film must be screened. In the current market, audiences are interested in crime art films, and they must not be bad at crime road films."
"Section Chief, I remember your "A Touch of Sin" is also a criminal theme, right?"
"Well, for the three cases, the films have already been sent to Cannes, and will be released this year after selection."
"A Touch of Sin", Chief Jia has high hopes.
Different from "Xiao Wu" and "Platform", this time he is a transformational work, and his expression method has gradually returned to the "right way" from the deviant anti-narrative anti-montage.
Director Jia is full of expectations: "This must be the highest-grossing movie I have ever made. I hope that the literary films sent by "Fireworks in the Day" will spring, and don't let "A Touch of Sin" turn winter!"
"Hey, hello."
At this moment, a voice came from the stereo, Li Shaohong, the chairman of the re-evaluation committee, stood on the stage:
"The counting time is over, and I will announce the voting results next."
"The nominations for Best Film are: [-], Arrows, One Flew Over the Nursing Home, The Search, and Fireworks."
"..."
"The nominations for Best Actor include: Ji Xiaolan's "[-]", Huang Bo's "Killing", Li Xuejian's "[-]", Xu Shanzheng's "Lost in Thailand", Ye Qin's "Fireworks in the Day"..."
"Hey, here, the least suspenseful one is Qin Zi!" Feng Pants blinked.
Jiang Niangniang waved her hand: "Several, Qin Zi said, don't vote for him this time, too much limelight is not good."
"Qin Zi, what you said is half as elegant as I was back then."
Jiang Wen seemed to be filling the glass anytime and anywhere, and said with a smile: "If you prefer him, just treat him as a reward for revitalizing literary films!"
…………
Yanjing East Third Ring Road, as lively as the Directors Association Commendation Conference, Zhang Guoshi's studio was as deserted.
Zhang Guoshi's face was full of exhaustion, and he completely severed ties with Zhang Weiping, which couldn't be broken all at once.
He has been hiding away, quietly thinking about the next movie, what to make.
Ignoring it in his spare time, he opened the "China Film News", which published the results and comments of "Fireworks in the Day" in a large space.
The most interesting of them is ""Fireworks in the Day", Renaissance Fireworks in the Dark Night of Literary Films".
"4 million in 1.4 days, the box office of "Fireworks in the Day" is enough to ignite filmmakers' dreams of the revival of domestic literary films!"
"Once upon a time, because of the slow pace and often devoted to discussing profound and obscure themes such as human nature, literary films have always been synonymous with 'niche'."
"Even if "The Piano" won an international award, even if it won word of mouth, it still cannot escape the fate of ending hastily."
"The Good Man in Three Gorges for the Venice Golden Lion Award earned less than 100 million at the domestic box office, and "Tuya's Marriage" for the Berlin Golden Bear Award only earned 200 million."
"Now, such a vicious circle is being broken."
"In March 2013, "Fireworks in the Day", which won the Best Actor Award (Ye Qin) at the Berlin Film Festival, defeated the Hollywood blockbuster "Die Hard 3" of the same schedule, and continued to sit firmly at the top of the box office. Pian raised his eyebrows!"
"It's no wonder that when "Fireworks in the Day" stood on the stage of the Berlin Film Festival and won the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award, Diao Yinan couldn't suppress his excitement and said publicly, 'This will be an award-winning film overseas. The highest-grossing domestic film.'”
"He may be right, the bright fireworks are just like this!"
"And this fire, Diao Yinan said, is because of Ye Qin!"
Zhang Guoshi watched it over and over again. The director has a literary dream in his heart. Even Wu Baige, the pioneer of violent aesthetics, would rather lower his salary than make a film.
He put down the newspaper, took out "Lu Criminal Yan Shi" from a pile of Yan Geling's novels, thought about finding the next owner, and remade it.
My head was full of thoughts, thinking about what it would be like to ask him to shoot "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
"National teacher, it's not too good, Zhang Weiping is a bastard, tearing his face apart!"
Pu Lun came in a hurry: "He asked someone to hand over the materials and said that you were 'overborn'."
…………
"Aren't you going to such an important commendation meeting?"
Chen Hong was dissatisfied, and stared at Cheng Da's literary poet who was writing at his desk.
"I made an appointment with Wang Huiling to continue writing the script."
Brother Cheng Kai stopped writing and said: "Fireworks in the Daylight" is just that. The male robbers and female prostitutes in the cloak of criminal investigation and suspense, except for the last betrayal and a little brilliant dance, the whole thing is nothing special. The newspapers are right, it is an upset !"
Chen Hong frowned, "No matter what, the box office is 1.4 million. Some critics predict 1.7 million, surpassing "The Promise."
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that the audience didn't understand "The Promise", the box office would be more than that anyway, and the 1.7 million at that time, is it comparable now!"
"The comparison of literature and art is not the box office, the box office is not the first!"
Chen Hong curled her lips, almost forgetting that "The Promise" was a thorn in his heart, and he must not pick it.
"The one you adapted this time is the one you bought from Neon called "Sramana Kukai: The Great Tang Banquet"? The name is a mouthful."
"So I changed it to The Legend of the Demon Cat, Yang Yuhuan, Tang Xuanzong, Maweiyi Mutiny, what a great theme!"
Brother Cheng Kai confidently continued to conceive, hmph, a crime literary film is the climax of the market, something that is clear at a glance, without depth.
Prosperous Tang, suspense, love, humanity, magic, let me show the audience the micromanagement.
...............
late at night.
Ye Qin was out of town and had no time to talk to him, so he continued the road show tour, neither tired nor relaxed.
The box office is rising steadily, and online and offline are still hot.
At the end of the busy day, unbutton the shirt, throw the shirt on the bed, and sit shirtless on the chair.
Once on the Internet, Bibo and Tianya are considered clean, and they are considered regular positions, but on Douban, "Fireworks in the Day", the score plummeted to 7.4 points.
In the comments, in addition to trolling the plot and the movie, they also began to question the standard of this Berlin Best Actor:
["Fireworks in the Day", the money insider who won the Berlin Award]
[Berlin Golden Bear Award, political considerations come first, Huaxia won the award, not "Fireworks in the Day"! 】
[Why such a mediocre work can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival]
【Please select the most famous actor and actress in Berlin/Cannes/Venice】
[On how to beat the high-scoring works of the same period in the film of the 2.7 show.Foreign media: The aesthetics of this session of judges is unbelievable. 】
"..."
Here again, here again.
Ye Qin rolled his eyes, sprayed Berlin award water, and sprayed Berlin actor water by the way.
This operation, emm, is quite a familiar problem.
If you don't want to be recruited, you must destroy it.
"Zizzi."
When Ye Qin was thinking about what to do, the landline phone rang:
"Qin Zi, Mr. La called to ask you. Liu Tianwang confirmed that he can't play "Tianji Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and needs you to participate. There is absolutely no problem with the film salary."
My heart skipped a beat, wow!
Hastily said: "Sister Yang, book me a plane ticket to California immediately, and tell Mr. La that I'm going to Legendary Pictures to discuss co-production!"
Thanks to book friend Zhou Yu for looking at the 100 starting coins of the bridge.
