The car was driving on the streets of Shanghai, and neon lights on the tall buildings in the distance were flashing constantly.

After years of rapid development, Shanghai City has become increasingly international metropolis. While accelerating economic construction, the Shanghai City Government has not forgotten to make achievements in cultural and entertainment.

This time the Chinese TV Oriole Award was held in Shanghai City.

After the Oriole Awards end, the end of October is the day when the third Shanghai-City International Film Festival is held.

The Shanghai International Film Festival was founded in 1993 and is held every two years. This film festival has just been established, and it cannot compare with the weight of the three major European film festivals, and cannot attract internationally renowned directors and actors.

"Spring in Small Town" just won the Golden Lion Award in Venice and was invited by the Shanghai City International Film Festival.

The TV Oriole Awards and Film Festivals are held one after another, and a large number of stars will gather in Shanghai City throughout October. This may be exactly what the Shanghai City Government means, and it wants to drive the development of the Shanghai City film and television industry in this way.

Beijing has always been the center of the Chinese film and television industry.

There are famous art schools and many film and television production units in Beijing, gathering a large number of outstanding actors and behind-the-scenes teams.

However, other provinces have their own ideas, and you can see that the film and television industry can create value and boost the economy in the future.

Hucheng uses its own advantages to cultivate film and television talents, provide preferential policies for film and television companies, and cooperates with overseas filmmakers to build Hucheng into another film and television center.

This is a good thing for private film and television companies.

Lin Zixuan has no plans to come to Shanghai City for the time being, so let’s lay a solid foundation for Haomeng Company first.

He was driving the car, Feng Xiaogang was sitting in the co-pilot, Ge You lay in the back row, and was a little tired after taking the train for a day.

"Brother You, how do you feel when working with Brother Jiang this time?" Lin Zixuan chatted.

He and Ge You made several phone calls to roughly understand the progress of the filming of the film. The plot of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is not complicated, but mainly in the performance of the actors.

Jiang Wen pursued perfection as always, and his progress was not fast, and he kept changing the script.

For example, when I filmed this scene today, he felt that it would not work like this when I went to bed at night. I would like to try another way.

It took just this to spend two or three months before the crew was in state, and it was estimated that it would take more than half a year to film.

If it was a Hollywood investment, it would definitely not work like this, and investors would never agree. Fortunately, this time it was an investment in Europe. European filmmakers pursue art and think that as long as it is for art, it is worth trying repeatedly.

So Jiang Wen talked about art with them.

Why did I shoot like this? Is there a better way to perform? How can I know if I don’t try it? I have to say that in this regard, Jiang Wen has his own set, and it is enough to fool foreigners.

"Jiang Wen is serious about filming, unlike other directors. He has a lot of temporary thoughts when filming, and he doesn't follow the path, but this feeling is quite interesting." Ge You described.

"Are you saying that I'm not serious about filming?" Feng Xiaogang joked.

"Everyone has different ways. You are shooting entertainment films. Can you compare with others?" Ge You responded.

Ge You has worked with Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen respectively. These three directors have different personalities and different shooting techniques.

Zhang Yimou's film focuses on form and does not have the requirements for actors as well. If scores are used, he thinks that the actors can reach 80, and the other 20 can be compensated by photography.

Therefore, most of Zhang Yimou's films are full of ritual, which reduces the actors' expression in the film.

After watching it, you will know that this is Zhang Yimou's movie, which has been marked by Zhang Yimou.

Feng Xiaogang has lower requirements for actors, and 70% is enough. New Year's films rely more on scripts to support them. The actors can maintain their state and not leave the show, so the film will be successful.

Moreover, when he works with Ge You, he doesn't have to worry about the actor's acting skills at all.

Even if Ge You is not attentive, his acting skills are still above 70%. If he takes a little snack, he will be over 80.

However, Feng Xiaogang did not rely solely on scripts and Ge You. He had his own things. His films were very exquisite in composition, which was related to his background as an artist and had artistic skills.

Another point is that both Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen are very good at spending money, and it costs 20 to 30 million yuan to make a movie.

Feng Xiaogang can only use one-tenth of the money to make a box office movie. This movie is not shoddy, but can withstand the test of time.

This is Feng Xiaogang's ability, which is higher than the other two directors in terms of cost performance, or the most cost-effective director in China.

Jiang Wen’s requirement for actors is at least 90%. He is a top actor himself and knows what the limit of an actor is.

When encountering an actor like Xia Yu who has no acting experience, he will teach him step by step and let Xia Yu perform at a higher level and reach 90.

When encountering an actor like Ge You, Jiang Wen will not be satisfied with 90 or even 100 points, but will want to see where Ge You's limit is. This is a very interesting thing for him.

So, this time, when shooting "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling Record", Ge You had to constantly try new things and constantly squeeze himself.

This is a mutually promoting process.

Ge You thought it was interesting, which means that under Jiang Wen's filming method, he might have a breakthrough in his acting skills.

Of course, if a reporter asked him which director he felt better when he worked with, Ge You would have a more slick answer and no one would offend him. However, the three of them were used to it, so they didn’t need to worry about what they said.

Back at the hotel, Ge You went to the room to rest.

His itinerary is very fast. As an important guest of this Oriole Award, he will be interviewed tomorrow, shoot promotional videos, and meet older generation artists.

I will attend the award ceremony the day after tomorrow and will return to the crew to film.

This is the price of becoming famous.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang are not idle either. There is a review unit at this award ceremony. They have to cooperate with the organizing committee to do publicity, accept interviews, and meet with leaders above.

They have reached this level and are not the nameless people they used to be, and deserve the attention of others.

For example, the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles talked with Lin Zixuan.

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is the organizer of the Oriole Award, and its full name is the Federation of Chinese Art Circles.

The Writers Association is just a writers' association. The Federation of Literary and Art Circles not only has boundaries but also artistic circles, so the Writers Association is one of the groups of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, but the Writers Association is an administratively independent unit.

The groups under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles include the Writers Association, the Drama Association, the Film Association, the Music Association, the Art Association, etc.

All associations related to art are considered one of the groups of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which shows how huge this organization is.

Lin Zixuan joined the Writers Association and the Film Association and is a member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In recent years, he has been relatively active in the field of film and television, which naturally attracted the attention of the top leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
