Chapter two hundred and twentieth low-key
Hong Kong and Taiwan media reported extensively about the award of "Living" in Cannes, but mainland media stammered.
Ge You became an international actor, which is an honor no matter how you say it.
However, mainstream media will not promote a film that is banned in China. Even if it is promoted, it is critical. Only some tabloids in the south will publish news reprinted from Xiangjiang.
In other words, this Cannes actor will not bring much halo to Ge You, after all, the people don’t know much.
But in the movie circle, the title of this actor is still very valuable. Ge You's future pay will at least double. He used to shoot a movie of 150,000, but now he will cost 300,000 yuan.
In this way, there are pros and cons. The average crew cannot afford to hire a high pay, so they can only participate in those big productions.
But there are only a few major productions in China every year, and the characters in them may not be suitable for Ge Youlai to play, which may cause an embarrassing situation of no show to film unless he is willing to reduce his pay.
However, now is not the time to consider these things, Ge You can still make movies from Haomeng Company.
The question now is whether the film "Alive" will be lifted out of ban because of its award.
This is exactly Zhang Yimou's plan, hoping to win the award at the International Film Festival through "Alive" and get public support from public opinion. The General Administration can reconsider this issue.
Everyone was looking at the attitude of the General Administration, and the General Administration was also discussing it within the General Administration.
Most people do not support the lifting of the ban. The reason for the ban on screening of "Alive" is because they participate in the Cannes Film Festival in violation of regulations. Now they have won the award and have to lift the ban. Isn't this slap yourself in the face?
Besides, "Alive" has nothing to do with whether to attend the film festival, but rather a problem with the film itself.
Those who support Zhang Yimou think that lifting the ban is a good thing, which means that we are enlightened. As long as Zhang Yimou is willing to modify the film, it can still be released in China.
The film market this year is so sluggish that an internationally award-winning film can achieve good box office results.
However, these people are only a few, and the General Administration's final resolution will not allow "Alive" to be lifted.
"If the ban can be lifted, I will still be asking Brother You to come on my interview program." Mu Shanshan said regretfully.
"He can also be on the show now, as long as he doesn't mention "Living", but if he doesn't mention this, it's not interesting to be on the show." Lin Zixuan sighed.
Ge You was helpless enough. He had to keep a low profile as much as possible after others won the movie hero.
After returning from France, he joined the crew of "Party A and Party B" and thought about filming with Feng Xiaogang. This would avoid the right and wrong outside. He didn't want to be at the forefront.
Some people also want to talk about him as the actor. Strictly speaking, it is also a violation of regulations for Geyou to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.
But the General Administration is unwilling to pursue the matter. Everyone knows Ge You's character, so there is no need to hold on to it like this, that would be boring.
Compared to Ge You's low-keyness, Lin Xiaoling is much more high-profile in the Film Academy.
The awards won by "The Wind in the Capital" cannot be compared with "Living", but it is also an international award. Since it is impossible to report "Living", the media focused on the film academy.
After winning the award, the leaders of the Film Academy became much more active.
Supporting students to make movies is the consistent purpose of the Film Academy, but few results have been achieved. Being able to win this time shows that the education reform they have implemented has achieved new results and is a kind of achievement.
Lin Xiaoling was regarded as a typical example by the school and became a storied figure in the film school.
When the school leader heard that she was still an attendant, he immediately completed the formalities for her, and gave her all benefits, subsidies, scholarships, and all of them were available.
This made Xiaoling feel very happy. She finally became a real film school student.
"Look, I can't find you anymore. This is not your credit. The movie is about teamwork. You are just one of them. Don't be too inflated." Lin Zixuan slammed.
"Brother, can't I be happy for a few days?" Lin Xiaoling said dissatisfied, "I set up a movie group with my classmates at school, and we are ready to make movies."
"Okay, which crew do you think of? TV series or movies?" Lin Zixuan asked casually.
He thought his sister wanted to work in the crew, exercise and accumulate experience, just like before.
"We are not going to work chores on the crew, but want to make movies by ourselves and the movies we want to make." Lin Xiaoling explained.
"You haven't entered the sophomore yet. Have you learned to shoot movies? You'd better study hard and don't think so far." Lin Zixuan scolded.
"Theory should be linked to practice, and we cannot be practiced without practice. The school also encourages us to practice." Lin Xiaoling argued, "Brother, do you have any way? Find some work for us. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just be able to make a movie."
This award not only made Xiaoling successfully become a regular student, but also gave her a lot of confidence.
"You are still too inflated." Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.
Having said that, he couldn't ignore it. Lin Zixuan understood that the theory of making movies is important, but practice is even more important.
Feng Xiaogang has never learned the theory of film and is still making movies now. This is the result of long-term practice.
He remembered that he met the director of the "China Time and Space" column group on China TV Station a few days ago. "China Time and Space" opened a new sub-column called "Living Space".
This column focuses on the daily lives of ordinary people and records these ordinary stories with cameras.
Their goal is to be a loyal recorder of society, a calm observer, and seriously think, showing vivid animations in the social changes of China.
This requires many foreign journalists to go deep into various families for interviews. The column team has just been established and does not have so much manpower and material resources.
Lin Xiaoling is a student of the Film Academy and has a little fame. The TV station should not refuse such free labor. If the program filmed is adopted by the column team, there will be rewards for it.
"Can you make a documentary?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"Of course it's OK, it's better for me. I thought of the way so soon, and there was no way for us to go to school." Lin Xiaoling flattered.
"Since you want to shoot, take it seriously, don't play with it." Lin Zixuan reminded.
At this time, the French filmmaker asked Louis to come to the capital and met Lin Zixuan, expressing his love for the story of "Living", and hoped that "Living" could be translated into French as soon as possible.
He would recommend the book "Living" with domestic French publishers.
Lin Zixuan thought this person was good, so he gave him a Chinese version of "To Live". Anyway, there are hundreds of them at home.
Through the translation, he knew that the Frenchman was a producer and an investor. This time he came to work with Zhang Yimou to shoot a new film. This Frenchman seemed to be particularly interested in Chinese films.
I heard Jiang Wen say that the post-production of "Sunny Days" is going to be out of money again.
Lin Zixuan thought he could introduce this Frenchman to Jiang Wen, and then fool him into making the film. (To be continued.)
