Chapter 161 Where is the way out
At the end of March, Lin Zixuan went to Huacheng.≥≥≥
He walked with people from the Beijing Film Studio, and Ge You and Xu Fan were also accompanied by Feng Xiaogang, but Feng Xiaogang did not go.
Since I learned that Zhang Yimou's movies will participate in this Golden Bull Award, many people in the film industry have no hope of winning the grand prize. This is obvious. Zhang Yimou will definitely be a big winner in this class.
Otherwise, the Golden Bull Award Organizing Committee will add Zhang Yimou's movies and not give them awards, which would be too unauthentic.
Since you want to use Zhang Yimou's fame to enhance your influence, you have to give others a sweet taste.
The Golden Bull Award is a professional award, without referring to audience opinions, and is an award selected by a group of film experts.
It is hard to say that fairness or not. In fact, there is no absolute fairness in any film award, it can only be said that it is relatively fair.
After seeing the nomination list for this Golden Bull Award, there is no need for judges to be awarded for the various awards. Basically, people in the circle can guess the whole thing, and there is nothing new under the sun.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang were nominated for Best Screenwriter for "The Great Saba", but also won the Best Screenwriter nomination for a Biography movie, full of main themes.
It is well known that the judges' preference for biographical movies is that Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang are newcomers in the film industry. The result can be imagined. This is why Feng Xiaogang does not want to go to Huacheng.
Everyone wants to be the protagonist, who is willing to run away?
They are better, but whether the people behind the scenes won the award is not much of an impact, and they don’t rely on this to make a living.
Xu Fan is the most depressed. As a new actor who has just debuted, he starred in the first movie, fantasizing about winning the first award in his life, such a perfect picture.
If she really won the Best Actress in this class, she will have a smooth road from now on and will have no regrets in her life.
Unfortunately, Gong Li came out halfway. Even if Xu Fan was confident, he knew that there would be no chance this time. He could only be Gong Li's foil. It would be hard for anyone to put this matter on him.
But this is how life is. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Don’t be ecstatic when you encounter happy things, don’t be sad when you encounter bad things, and face them calmly.
As a niche art film, "The Great Saba" has won so many nominations.
It includes five nominations in Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor and Best Actress.
This has a lot to do with the theme of the movie. The topic of going abroad is still continuing. The second round of broadcast of "The People in Beijing in New York" on TV stations in various provinces and cities has ended, causing a great impact.
According to national statistics, the number of people who go abroad in February has dropped significantly. It is expected that China will enter a period of low tide of going abroad in the next six months, and Chinese people are more rational about going abroad.
The number of nominations in "The Great Saba" is estimated to be related to social impact, or is the result of being valued by the above.
There were not many people going to the Beijing Film Studio this time, just producers and directors, and Lin Zixuan had only six people.
They also have no hope for winning the award, only Ge You has the greatest chance, because Zhang Yimou's movie was not nominated for Best Actor.
The group took the train from the capital to Huacheng.
Beijing Film Studio is a state-owned unit and has a certain limit on reimbursement for business trips. This does not mean that they cannot take off the plane, but that they feel that there is no hope of winning the award or not being too arrogant.
They joked that we would take the train and if we could win the grand prize, we would fly back by plane.
"In the future, domestic movies will not be easy to shoot. If there is no box office, no awards, no awards, one film will be worth one, who will still shoot?" The producer of Beijing Film Studio sighed.
This is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows the dilemma encountered by domestic movies.
At this time, domestic films were roughly divided into two categories. One was propaganda movie, such as war themes and characters who praised the country, or they could also be said to be main theme movies.
There is also a type of niche movies such as "The Stubborn" and "The Great Saba".
Since Zhang Yimou used foreign funds, the co-production films were generally not included in domestic films. This is why the Golden Bull Awards did not include co-production films in the award scope in the past.
Such domestic movies are difficult to attract audiences of all ages to enter the theater to watch movies.
"The Big Saba" has a good box office, at least it makes money, so it's hard to say about other domestic movies. In the past, the country could organize unit employees and school students to enter the cinema through administrative means.
Now that the market has been relaxed, the entertainment methods of ordinary people have become richer, and the videotapes flowing from the Hong Kong River have been popular.
Whether the Golden Bull Award Organizing Committee wants to enhance its influence or the General Administration allows private capital to enter the film and television industry, it wants to solve the dilemma of domestic films and prosper the film market in China.
People from Beijing Film Studios are not complaining that Zhang Yimou had snatched the award that originally belonged to them, but they are a little confused about the future of domestic films and don’t know how to go.
In Lin Zixuan's opinion, part of the reason why domestic movies have no box office and are not popular is that the Chinese country does not have commercial movies in the true sense.
Whether profound art movies are good or not is good, but the people cannot understand them and don’t buy them. You are not filming them for the people to watch, so you can’t blame the people’s appreciation level for them too low.
Most viewers watch movies for entertainment, not spiritual baptism.
However, he would not say these words. At this time, Chinese filmmakers were still full of ideals and persistence. Walking on the road of art movies, they didn't appreciate Xiangjiang's entertainment movies, thinking that it was nonsense, without logic or plot, and just vulgar jokes that were pieced together, too vulgar and vulgar.
In the Chinese film industry, people will be despised by talking about commercial films in Hong Kong and think they are not a good movie.
In fact, they got a wrong concept, commercial films are not funny films.
Commercial films refer to big investments, big directors, and big stars. They cater to the public's taste and appreciation level in terms of themes and content, and aim to make box office profits as the main purpose.
According to this standard, "The People of Beijing in New York" is a commercial TV series.
Ge You did not participate in the discussion. He is now in Zhang Yimou's crew and said nothing is appropriate.
The Golden Bull Award was originally an award for self-entertainment in the Chinese film industry. We worked hard for a year to give a reward to comfort me. When we go back to the unit, we will get a bonus, and everyone is happy.
The awards are basically divided up by several major film studios in China.
This time, a big crocodile suddenly came in. There was competition, but the gap was too big, so there was no competition, but it was crushed.
Moreover, Chinese films must be in line with world films. The gap is even greater with the current production level of Chinese films. At this time, many visionary filmmakers are thinking about a question.
That is where the way out for Chinese films is. (To be continued.)8
