Chapter four hundred and seventeenth interview
Bu Fan sighed, "Although the domestic stars are so awesome, if you really want to go abroad, there are very few people who can remember the photographers."
Sometimes it’s great to listen to Lan Xinling chatting about gossip. Many of her colleagues are very different from what she imagines, and she is also drunk.
As long as you are a star, you cannot miss any opportunity to stand under the spotlight.
The most advanced one depends on works and acting skills, the worse one depends on connections, and the least one needs to have money to spend, and it is hard to make some exposure.
Since I am promoting my own works, I am willing to work hard no matter how hard I work.
Of course, after all, Bu Fan once again starred in a work recognized by the International Film Festival. Bu Fan seemed relaxed, but in fact he was very nervous.
Before leaving the company, Lan Xinling patted her shoulder and comforted her: "You have a new talent award for the Berlin International Film Festival at a young age. The electric eye is still in his thirties. Just take it easy and just travel and have fun."
"We have a low chance of winning the award this time!"
The next day I had a meal with Guan Hu, and the other party said straight to the point: "The big hit is "The Thief Family" directed by Yukazu Koreedo, and the call is very high."
"After all, this is the fourth time I'm hitting the Palme d'Or, and the work is really good, so I should definitely win this time."
Bu Fan poured Guan Hu full of wine and said lightly: "Being shortlisted is a kind of affirmation. It's still the same thing. It's useless to leave everything you want to do, and other thoughts are useless."
Guan Hu glared at Bu Fan and cursed with a smile: "You guy is quite open-minded. Anyway, there is no shortlisted for the Actor, right?"
Bu Fan laughed loudly. Winning awards is the most difficult to figure out. No matter which country the commercial film with high box office is in, it will definitely not be favored by the judges, and even the Oscars are no exception.
Of course, there are worlds where there are people, and there is definitely a way to canvass votes, but we are out of reach, and it is useless to try hard.
Each film festival has an institution dedicated to selecting films. Venice and Cannes have special film selection committee members responsible for selecting films around the world. Of course, you must first sign up.
Berlin is selected by members of the Filmmakers Committee and the chairmen of each unit.
The general criterion is: the film selection committee member was convinced when he saw these videos for the first time. If there was a second trial, it was mostly because people who were related to the film kept forcing them.
The film selection chairman of the Cannes Film Festival once said: "I rarely change my opinions and decisions, but I must be as sleek as a diplomat and be very polite."
When asked to have a second trial, we will re-view it, or let others see it to confirm our judgment. This is a very complicated and tricky task and requires a delicate and decent way to deal with it.
The members are all famous screenwriters, producers, directors, and actors in the industry. Occasionally, there will be franchises of composers, writers and television personnel.
The jury is usually composed of ten people and has a jury chairman.
The awards of the three major film festivals are decided by the jury’s discussion and voting.
There is no suspense about the ownership of the grand prizes in some years, and it can be said to be the only one.
However, in years when there are many excellent works, the ownership of some awards becomes a big problem.
In some film festivals, the chairman of the jury can even control the decision of the award. In some film festivals, the chairman is just a false position that is undermined.
For example, at the Venice Film Festival one year, Quentin Tarantino was the chairman of the jury. Under his control, his ex-girlfriend Sophia won the Golden Lion Award for "A Somewhere", which even the American media were very dissatisfied with.
So the film festival is actually just a fan game, highlighting the judges’ personal aesthetic tastes and tendencies.
Predicting the ownership of awards based on the scores of the magazine is the most unreliable gambling.
But it is precisely because of this unpredictable and unpredictable that the film festival has become the most anticipated movie event for all movie fans.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be shortlisted for Cannes this time!"
Guan Hu and Bu Fan clinked glasses of wine and whispered: "I am idle too, I can just sign up and try it out, the result..."
Bu Fan was stunned, good guy, this is OK?
"My goal is to the three major domestic film festivals. I know the unequal treatment you have received at the Golden Horse Awards during this period. This time, this time, it is specifically targeted at the Golden Horse Awards. It has started operation. I can say one thing today and be shortlisted for at least three awards."
"The man must go back openly and shut up..."
Guan Hu was full of red face, patted Bu Fan's shoulder hard, and said proudly: "Don't worry, the crime of several months will not be in vain. It's almost certain to be the finalist of the actor!"
What else can Bu Fan say? Raise the wine glass and it’s done!
Winning awards is actually a matter of getting familiar with each other twice. If you are shortlisted for more times, you will always get a consolation prize in the end, right?
Needless to say, the Golden Rooster is basically played by oneself. The Golden Rooster is too political and has a great seniority ranking. It is not the turn of the turn of the people to stand out now.
Only the Golden Horse Awards have gradually become the world of domestic films in recent years. Whether in box office or reputation, they basically occupy half of the world, and their voices are becoming increasingly strong.
And there are some things that happened some time ago, and even more concessions Bu Fan thinks he should do something...
Buddhas have to fight for a stick of incense, let alone humans...
"When the time comes, Yan Ni will go, let's walk the red carpet together."
Guan Hu Meimei ate the food and said enthusiastically: "First make a wave of popularity at the International Film Festival to improve the quality of the work, and then start promoting it, and the box office will at least double at that time."
"The investment is not big, so there is definitely no problem in getting the money back. It is hard to say how much you can earn. According to my plan, you must win at least two well-known awards. The more, the better, and the more you have to."
"Especially the Golden Horse Awards, I have been dealing with them a lot in recent years. Last year, I gave the old cannon to the throne of the movie emperor. Today we will work hard and give another one!"
"When we come back from Cannes, we must..."
Bu Fan looked at Guan Hu's state of being instructed by the country, no wonder he has been doing well in recent years. He has the strength and has the right to speak. The more awesome the other party, the better he is, and he enjoys his own success.
Two days later, I flew to France, and there were already many media waiting in advance. Under Lan Xinling's arrangement, I accepted an exclusive interview with a well-known media.
The beautiful host exchanged a few greetings and said straight to the point: "I heard that for this drama you are so useless and don't even wash your face?"
"Oh, it's almost the same. Anyway, I'm not a young man."
Bu Fan said casually: "The role is important, and many things are what I ask for. Don't underestimate the unkempt and the face is unkempt. It will be melted for at least an hour a day, and it will take a long time to unload it. In the end, I think it's troublesome, so I just go to bed."
"Why did you take on this drama in the first place? What is the biggest difficulty?"
"It's because of the script, it feels like there are very different things, and the characters are very different from the past, so there is enough room to display them."
"As for the difficulties? The main thing is to cooperate with the cow. Every day, it is emotional communication, give it good food, massage it all day long, talk and chat, and finally take a smooth shot."
"What do you think about being selected for the Cannes Film Festival?"
"I always think winning an award is something that is hard to come by. The most important thing is that others affirm the work. It is already a luxury to be shortlisted, and it is more important for everyone to like it. Even if you don't win the award, it will be a huge encouragement to me."
"How do you evaluate this movie?"
“As an independent production, Bullfight is worth it to take a little time to savor it.”
"Although its form, the image of people and cows getting along with each other, and the dirty images greatly affect the audience's investment, but now that many movies lack true values of their own, I think it is really rare to have some warmth in the depths of human nature in addition to satire."
"Can you say it more specifically?"
"The reason I said this is an independent movie is that there are many drama conflicts in it. In fact, there are relatively large commercial spaces to operate. For example, Niu Er fights four bandits to protect the cows. When he meets wounded soldiers and ghosts passing by the village, these plots can be filmed more interesting and exciting, and the film will be more beautiful because of this."
"But the director emphasized that fate is impermanent. It is a coincidence to use the mines of the Japanese to kill refugees who want to kill cows. It is not the original intention. He never wanted to portray Niu Er as a hero from the beginning to the end, because in the context of this story, he was just an accident left by accident in history!"
"As the heroine in the movie, how do you judge Yanni?"
"I personally think that the most exciting part of the whole movie is the place where Yan Ni is. The character of Jiuer is in sharp contrast to Niu Er. Unfortunately, there is only the foreword and no remarks. It is cut off by war and can only be replaced by Niu. This emotional reference is actually difficult to complete."
"Because she didn't have many scenes when the script started to be provided, her reaction was very real after finishing the previous scene, especially when she hit me, she would definitely start..."
"Yes, I was deeply impressed by that scene. It seemed like you were squatting down to touch the cow's milk, and she was watching from behind, was it improvised?"
Chapter completed!
