The deadline for submission of works is over, and the studio is in the midst of a break. Everyone has finished their busy shooting and returned to the normal study rhythm. However, this time, Liu Yu and the others no longer play games all day long. They usually have classes.
He went to class. When there was no class, Liu Yu followed Chen Yiwen's example and went to the library to find some photography books.
Judging from the experience, he is now the photographer in the studio. Although there is a three-phase viewfinder now, which is very different from the previous camera shooting, the position of the viewfinder and how to set up the lighting can best help achieve results in post-production.
He still needs to expand his knowledge about photography such as radio and more advanced equipment.
Hu Lijing focused on fields such as set construction. He always believed that he had chosen the wrong major. He also complained to his family about this. He used to be interested in architecture, but his family thought that finance and trade would be more promising. Now Hu Lijing suddenly discovered
, it seems that there is a world that can satisfy your creative desire.
Zhuo Jun also got back on track. His father came to school a few times on the way, fearing that Zhuo Jun was doing one thing to his face but behind his back. However, because this situation had been deduced a long time ago, Zhuo Jun did not show that he was in school.
Study hard and stop interacting with the "bad students" like them in the former dormitory and engage in some "heretical" measures such as making micro-movies. Zhuo Xiangshan visited several times and found that the doors of the art troupe studios were closed, and they were in the study room in the teaching building.
After finding Zhuo Jun, he showed great satisfaction.
In fact, this was all after the filming was over. The only time that was more thrilling was when Zhuo Xiangshan arrived at the entrance of the red room area of the art troupe before the filming of their work was completed. He was discovered by someone and quickly called them. Zhuo Jun at that time
We were filming in the bamboo forest behind the studio, and everyone immediately stopped working. Zhuo Jun quickly changed his clothes, while they pretended to rush to the shooting location and walked across the station with equipment.
Zhuo Xiangshan followed behind to see if Zhuo Jun was among the group, or if Zhuo Jun had joined them halfway. But in fact, everyone diverted the tiger away from the mountain, allowing Zhuo Jun to come out from the other side of the bamboo forest and slip out of the main gate.
When everyone thought about it afterwards, they still felt that it was a memory point of college life.
After that, Uncle Li called him.
"I've seen the work. Give me your ID and information, and I'll help you apply for support from the foundation."
After Chen Yiwen's work came out, Li Qiyun also asked him about it. Uncle Li cared about him very much. He was paying attention to the whole filming process. When I heard that Chen Yiwen only regrouped in the last month, he overturned the re-election of the previous filming.
I thought it would be impossible to complete a title, but I didn’t expect that it was finally shot by Chen Yiwen.
After the final results came out, Chen Yiwen gave Uncle Li a copy of the manuscript sent to the organizing committee. The organizing committee's requirement was that the entries could not be submitted to other organizations, but Uncle Li's work was for private circulation, so there was no problem with it.
But when it came to the foundation, Chen Yiwen was stunned for a moment. Could it be that what he mentioned in the WeChat group had already been done by Liu Qirong?
"foundation?"
"Boss Liu and Boss Wang recently established a filmmaker foundation to support film-related fields. You are so lucky that I can help you apply. I think the application conditions have been met in all aspects. I think
If you are sure of getting a sum of money, why not do it?"
Sure enough, Liu Qirong and Wang Xiangchuan really set up a foundation. Chen Yiwen asked, "Really support filmmakers?"
Uncle Li was silent for a moment and said, "It is mainly to facilitate the operation of Boss Liu and Boss Wang. The foundation's public business is very convenient for docking with the lighting company and injecting funds. On the other hand, if it is a donation,
The flow of funds from a foundation can reasonably avoid taxes."
Chen Yiwen immediately sensed the implication, "The foundation and Guangying Group are fighting against each other? Uncle Liu wants to transfer capital, right? Is the internal struggle within the Guangying Group already fierce?"
Liu Qirong and Wang Xiangchuan's New Year's Eve movie was a hit and made huge box office revenue. But Uncle Li said that the foundation was established for business connection and transfer of funds, so it is very likely that Wang Xiangchuan was secretly planning to seduce Chen Cang and prepare for his future.
.
What does this mean? It means that Wang Xiangchuan not only feels that his control is threatened, but also his own share is being interfered with.
It was originally thought that after the success of the new movie, Liu Qirong and Wang Xiangchuan would consolidate their positions within the Light and Film Group and gain more power. But now it seems that they still underestimated the cruelty of the struggle.
Precisely because of their rising status, I am afraid that the original capital faction of Guangying Group felt threatened and began to restrict their expansion. Liu and Wang would not just sit back and start preparing their own back-up plan.
"Of course there is no problem in getting support from the foundation, but will it conflict with the film festival, because the organizing committee has regulations that cannot provide support to third-party organizations?" Chen Yiwen asked.
Uncle Li's words were a little arrogant, "You don't have to worry about the film festival organizing committee. This time, your Uncle Liu was invited to be the chief guest and host. The foundation also cooperated with them. To put it bluntly, the final review came out
Excellent works that want to join our foundation's support plan must be screened. It doesn't matter even if you don't win an award at the film festival... Isn't the foundation's support fund better than that?"
"I went here for the honor, why do I care about money!" Chen Yiwen said, and then changed his tone, "Speaking of which, how much does the foundation support?"
"Haha... This filmmaker support plan is the foundation's first project, with an investment of 10 million. The amount of support for a single work is 80 to 1 million."
This amount is not bad. Okay, this amount of money is also an installment. Chen Yiwen asked casually, "What is the name of the foundation?"
"Treant Foundation."
Chen Yiwen, "..."
"The name comes from a senior who inspired Boss Liu and Boss Wang to start the concept of a Lunar New Year movie, and the foundation was also proposed by the other party, so we decided to use this name. The foundation is registered overseas, making it easier to operate in the future."
Chen Yiwen was silent, so this counts as applying for his own creative fund? What kind of operation is this...
But he thought of something else and asked, "Are you helping me apply for Uncle Liu's foundation support plan? Are you worried that I won't get the award? It's also a comfort?"
Uncle Li said, "Film festival competitions involve the division of peaches among university students. I only know that works from schools like your Business School rarely win the top prize. It would be great if you can be shortlisted..."
Chen Yiwen also knew something about the so-called six mountains of the six major schools in the national competition. An insider like Uncle Li might know more. Now that he has said that, the reality is naturally quite severe.
"I understand. That's okay. If I really don't win the prize, I will have a consolation of 1.8 million, which is also compensation." Chen Yiwen nodded and applied for support from the foundation he named. It feels like a rat barn. In the future, the society will die.
What a tragic scene it must have been on that day?
However, we can only put these things behind us temporarily and focus on the present.
"Uncle Li, you've seen my film and you're not going to give me a review?" So far, Uncle Li hasn't talked about his feedback on the work. Now he's asking himself to fill in a support project so that he doesn't lose, and has the consolation of being at the bottom.
, is it possible that he is not optimistic? There is something wrong with his two life experiences as a human being? He is not smart anymore?
"Must you say it?"
"No...is there really a problem? Tell me..."
"You made me cry."
"..."
Uncle Li paused unnaturally on the other end of the phone, and then said in an urging tone, "Okay, hurry up and send the information over, I'm still waiting to fill it in for you!"
…
When Li Xinping stepped in front of the Capital Normal University, the phone rang on his cell phone. He looked down at the screen and frowned. It was Song Dongshan, Song Xiaopang from Qingshan. This man was a rich second generation, and his family was a bit rich.
Li Xinping's father is a professor at Qingshan Institute of Technology and Mechanical Engineering. The project he is working on is a collaboration between Song Xiaopang's family and his family.
This is how Li Xinping and Song Xiaopang got to know each other. His father worked closely with the Song family and told him to have a good relationship with Song Xiaopang. In addition, Song Xiaopang often loved "Brother, I'll take you flying."
”, which made Li Xinping often participate in his social activities without being disturbed, but he couldn’t refuse. Sometimes he felt really exhausted both mentally and physically.
As a student majoring in Qingshan Film Academy, he was selected as a student judge for the College Student Film Festival. Today, fifty college students like him from all over the country came to Capital Normal University to be judged by the film festival organizing committee.
At the seat of the committee, the preliminary evaluation of the entries will be conducted behind closed doors.
Soon after joining the organizing committee, his phone will probably be turned off and the review will be conducted behind closed doors, and any internal matters related to the review during this process cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
Not knowing what Xiaopang Song was calling for, Li Xinping hesitated for a moment and then picked up the phone, but his tone had changed, "Brother Song, Brother Song, what did you say... why did you call me?"
Song Xiaopang waited for a long time, and finally the call was picked up. A smile appeared on Song Xiaopang's face, "Hey, it finally got through. Li Xinping, where are you?"
"I'm at Capital Normal University, what's wrong, Brother Song?"
"Hey, you are participating in the review of the Student Film Festival? Oh my, you are really talented. What can I say, you Xiao Li are so pretty!" Li Xinping was also selected as a student judge for the competition in his circle of friends.
It was spread all over the place. Song Xiaopang was laughing at the other end.
"Brother Song, if you have anything to do, just say it directly." As soon as Li Xinping heard Song Xiaopang's words, he felt that this rich second generation was probably trying to stir up trouble again.
"Hmm, I'm calling. I don't have anything else to do. I just want to tell you that I know a buddy who is quite good. He also made a work and participated in your national competition. I just wanted to
Tell me, since you are a judge, you have to take care of him when the time comes. His name is Chen Yiwen, from Qingshan Commercial College, and his work is called "Old Boy"..."
As expected! This is where I come to find myself and go backstage!
Li Xinping covered his forehead here and said, "From Qingshan Business School...Brother Song, you know that I am just one of the fifty student judges...I am not a judge who can just say...this is an all-in-one judge."
It’s a process of discussion, and it’s probably a group review. There are so many works, and the preliminary evaluation results will be released within a few days. They are all divided into groups. Whether I can encounter the works of the friends you mentioned is a problem..."
Song Xiaopang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's what you said. Oh, although there are fifty of them, can you express your opinions and express your optimism for the work? After all, you are also one of the judges.
If you say it in public, it will attract more attention from other judges. Everyone will see it, so they won't be buried... I'm such a good buddy! Really, I admire you very much, please do me a favor!"
Li Xinping smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Song, let's do this. I'll do my best..."
After hanging up the phone with Song Xiaopang, who kept thanking him, Li Xinping rubbed the corners of his eyes. He really felt that people like Song Xiaopang couldn't be called a dandy, but he was still stunned to the point of being cute.
Do you think everything can be settled through relationships? This is because he really has a good father who allows him to be so willful, but he has never been severely beaten by social reality.
How can a school like Qingshan Business School, a business school, produce any good works? It seems that it is another game between Song Xiaopang and his group of friends. Someone thought of playing together, and Song Xiaopang immediately took over.
Wow, it’s really ridiculous, this is a national competition!
Through this incident, Li Xinping once again confirmed that his previous evaluation and views on Song Xiaopang were indeed correct.
Of course, this incident was just an interlude, and he quickly forgot about it.
Then the organizing committee of the National Normal University gathered them, student judges, to first train and explain the principles, and then implicitly expressed the criteria for judging a work.
These standards are some quantitative indicators, such as the structure of a work, inversions, foreshadowing, and the techniques used by the author in the shooting process. When these indicators are put forward, the judges can have a basis for the standards.
But Li Xinping also knows that this also limits the entries. In this way, some works with good content but poor structure will lose points. On the contrary, know this set of "standards" and follow this set of "standards"
Those works that are taken will naturally get high scores. Even if the content is not very good.
And these so-called "standards" are actually created by the academic group, the so-called six majors.
Then they start to watch the works in groups, and each group is given a preliminary score. Those who fail the preliminary score will be eliminated directly. Those who meet the standard score will enter the second review stage of the preliminary evaluation, and a larger group will watch and score.
This was also a hard job, and Li Xinping then entered into the rhythm of closed movie watching and rating.
Then, the film called "Oldboy" accidentally entered his group. But because of Song Xiaopang's "tips", Li Xinping was already "mentally prepared" first.
As a result, Li Xinping and the group members didn't look back for a long time until they finished watching the entire film.
Li Xinping took a closer look at the information about this work this time. The columns for Qingshan Commercial College, Video Art Team, and Producer and Director all had the same name written on them: Chen Yiwen.
Li Xinping took a deep breath, this Song Xiaopang... was a bit interesting.
It seems that not all of them know people who are as unreliable as him.
