For Su Ze, all this didn't matter. He didn't intend to cooperate with the so-called four-character actress anyway. The other party couldn't handle the script he liked, and he didn't like the script the other party liked.
Just two parallel lines!
Since Zhan Changsha was not affected, forget it. The incident itself was not directed at him, and he took the initiative to apologize to show his dignity. As for the truth, what is the truth?
hehe!
Of course, the result was an unexpected reversal. I didn’t expect tap water to be so strong?
Hardly turning black powder?
Sure enough, the vast ocean of the people is invincible!
It wasn't until the end of Battle in Changsha that the turmoil ended. In the end, Douban scored 9.2 points, making it the second highest-rated work since its debut.
Even better than chasing the murderer in the white night?
The ratings are also good. Although it cannot compare with the popular dramas, it has been very successful as an anti-war drama. It is at least the best one in the past five years.
Time came to August, and Su Ze received news from Xin Yukun that Blizzard was approaching and the post-production period had been completed, and the film had officially begun its journey to win awards.
I was a little depressed at first, how can I judge the award without even passing the review?
Later I learned that participating in foreign film festivals does not require the release of your work?
Come to think of it, otherwise, where would there be so many niche literary films?
Now even micro-movies made by college students can participate, let alone Xin Yukun.
You don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Lao Xin is working hard. He pays more attention to the director than the actors in this work. To be honest, 70% of it is because of Xin Yukun.
The characters in the plot definitely have their own merits, and Su Ze is not one to give up his bottom line for favors, but he has to admit that Xin Yukun's ambition to win awards plays a large role.
Half a life is wasted, a great thing comes late, but you will soon know your destiny.
Art creates life and begins to decline. If you don't seize every opportunity, winning a prize will be far away.
Awards have different meanings for everyone. Some people pursue them all their lives, some people just accept it, and some people sneer at it. For example, Wang Jing, box office is the only king.
Winning awards for young actors is the best stepping stone. Look at Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun. Originally no one cared about them, but a Golden Horse Best Actress suddenly became a star.
Middle-aged powerful people also long for awards to prove themselves and stabilize their status to break through bottlenecks, such as Duan Yihong, Wang Qianyuan, Liao Fan, etc.
Your box office appeal is not very strong, so you can only show your strength by winning awards. Otherwise, how can you survive in the entertainment industry that is swimming against the current?
You really have to be at the level of Cheng Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tony Leung Ka Fai to be down on the awards. After all, what have you never seen before? Three awards for film and television?
All are grand slams!
To be fair, Su Ze is also looking forward to winning the award. He doesn't have any vanity, especially for movies. After all, he has already won the Flying Golden Eagle. There is only one Magnolia left. A Grand Slam is just around the corner within three years.
By then, TV dramas will basically be over, and movies will be the starry sea. There will be three awards for Chinese language, seven or eight international awards, Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Tokyo and even Hollywood...
Full of challenges!
I pulled back my thoughts and thought a little too far. In any case, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You won’t become fat in one bite. You should take your time while you are still young.
"Lao Xin's goal this time is definitely the Tokyo Film Festival!" Kong Xue analyzed: "One of the nine international A-level film festivals and the most influential film festival in Asia."
"Tokyo?" Su Ze rarely pays attention to foreign film festivals. After all, he is just an actor. He is not as broad-minded as a director, and he only knows a little about many things.
"Can you believe that Lao Mouzi is the first Best Actor at the Tokyo International Film Festival?" Kong Xue took out the information and showed: "In 1987, a film called Laojing won the Golden Rooster Best Actor and the Hundred Flowers Best Actor at the same time."
Su Ze was shocked. Damn it, is this the legendary actor and director?
"The second is Niu Zhenhua, who was nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actor at the same time for "Back to Back" in 1994. The third is Zhu Xu, who won the Huabiao Best Actor for "Face Changing" in 1996. The old man has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actor five times."
"Then there is Wang Qianyuan's "The Piano", which was nominated for the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster Best Actor at the same time in 2010."
"The latest one is Wang Jingchun's "Police Diary". I reckon it was eight or nine years ago this year."
Su Ze flipped through the information and became more and more surprised. Not only male actors, but also many domestic actresses were awarded the title of Tokyo Queen?
Zhao Lirong's "New Year"... Lu Liping's "Blue Kite"... Zeng Jing's "Beauty Is Singing"... Jin Yaqin's "The Two of Us"...
There’s even Sister Bingbing’s Guanyin Mountain!
Good guy, it is indeed the film festival closest to China. The winning rate is so high!
"Understood?" Kong Xue said with a smile: "That's why I said Xin Yukun's biggest goal is the Tokyo Film Festival."
"The selection rules for our major domestic awards are too restrictive. Just because one must pass the review and be released will block many outstanding niche literary and artistic works."
"In all international A-category film festivals, including the three major European film festivals, the works exhibited are exclusive, which means that if you participate in the main competition unit of a certain A-category film festival, you cannot compete for awards at other A-category film festivals."
"The good thing is that the threshold is not high, and you can sign up as long as you have a finished product. Before the film is officially released, it is also a common practice for films with a certain artistic level to compete for awards at an international film festival."
"After all, having an internationally authoritative award to gild the film means attracting more audiences and a considerable amount of extra box office. It is also a personal honor that all the creative staff will remember for life."
"This is the rule of the game for foreign movies."
Su Ze nodded. It's useless to talk about such things. Every country has its own rules. China is always the strictest in controlling public opinion.
However, there are now many emerging film festivals. In order to encourage young directors to create, they have gradually lowered the threshold and allowed micro-films to participate in registration. However, the mainstream awards are still the same.
"After so many years, if Chinese-language films are not sure to go to the three major European film festivals to be shortlisted for the main competition, then trying to be shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival is still the first choice of many directors."
Kong Xue analyzed: "The next best thing is the Magic City Film Festival, which is also an international category A, with a so-so reputation. To put it bluntly, it is a nearby exhibition to facilitate the sale of films."
"As for major A-level film festivals in other Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Latin America, such as San Sebastian, Montreal, Karlovy Vary, Locarno, Cairo..."
“It’s all about throwing money at gold plating!”
Su Ze burst into laughter, a bit like studying abroad?
Those who are truly capable will definitely go to Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, and almost go to the island country of Germany. Those who want to get by while earning a degree must choose a small country where nothing matters.
"I remember when Wang Shuo unceremoniously mocked his screenwriter's sigh and participated in the Cairo Film Festival and won five awards including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Screenplay. I was shocked at the time."
“Later I found out that it was actually a township enterprise award!”
