Chapter 417 Female Movies
Lin Zixuan doesn’t care much about media reports, this is the attitude of insiders and outsiders towards the award ceremony.
For people in the circle, the matter of ending the award ceremony is over, and everyone should do whatever they should do.
People outside the circle will keep making trouble around this matter, which has no practical significance, just for everyone to entertain.
Those who have filmed the show have left, and those who have no filmed the show have stayed. In a few days, the third Shanghai-City International Film Festival will be held.
In China, this is a large international film festival, and it is also good to be able to show off your face.
Feng Xiaogang received an invitation from the Film Festival Organizing Committee to make the film "A Sigh" shortlisted. Although he is not a first-line director in China, he is very well-known.
Feng Xiaogang finally refused because "A Sigh" was going to participate in the Cairo International Film Festival in Egypt.
There is a condition for films participating in the Cairo Film Festival, that is, they cannot be screened in other film festivals, and they must be premiered in Cairo.
Lin Zixuan had contacted the organizer of the Shanghai International Film Festival and sent "Spring in a Small Town" to participate.
The organizing committee wanted to use "Spring in Small Town" and Yu Feihong to increase the popularity of the film festival, while Lin Zixuan had the mentality of winning the prize if he could win it, and everyone hit it off.
"Spring in a Small Town" will be screened at the film festival, and this is the first time the film has been screened in the country.
Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan were walking on the streets of Shanghai City. They were familiar with this city. They came to travel when they got married.
Taking advantage of these days' free time, the two of them walked around casually.
Not far away is the tallest building in China, more than 400 meters long. It was topped two months ago and stood on the banks of the Huangpu River. It will be the landmark building in Shanghai from now on.
The city's development speed is beyond people's imagination.
"When we were in New York, we envied New York for the skyscrapers everywhere. Now, it's no worse than New York." Lin Zixuan sighed.
"The development has been too fast in recent years and there are more and more problems. I think it's better to be slower and safer." Mu Shanshan responded.
Mu Shanshan's "Shanshan Interview Record" focuses on people's livelihood interviews and has some understanding of the current situation in China.
On the one hand, the economy is developing rapidly, and big cities like Shanghai City are changing with each passing day, reflecting the achievements of reform and opening up.
On the other hand, there are more and more laid-off workers and constant conflicts, which has become a serious social problem. The social phenomenon is increasing day by day, and the construction of spiritual civilization has not kept up.
According to the newspaper, this is a pain of reform.
They came to relax, and the topic stopped. The two found a shop on Wujiang Road Snack Street, tasted authentic Shanghai City food, and chatted casually.
"How is Xiaoling's script? Can you apply to be filmed in prison on-site?" Mu Shanshan asked.
"It's not easy. It depends on whether the General Administration is willing to help. There is no video in China that can be shot in prison. If it can be shot in real life, it is a precedent." Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.
There is a problem with Lin Xiaoling's "Going Home". If it is in a documentary style, it is best to shoot it in prison.
At present, the domestic prison policies have not been relaxed enough to let the crew make movies in prisons, especially women's prisons. The review is quite strict and I want to shoot real scenes of prisoners' lives unless it is ordered by a superior leader.
Prisons that appear in domestic movies are often completed in police stations or police stations.
Or maybe it was just filming at a film and television base, but it was not filmed in prison. It was not that it was troublesome to apply, but that it would not be approved even after applying.
Lin Zixuan wanted to write the script first, submit it to the top to read, and then apply to go to prison for filming.
If it really doesn't work, I can only think of other ways, but that will weaken the documentary style of the film and make the audience feel unreal.
"I support Xiaoling. After reading her notebook, I feel that we don't care about the disadvantaged groups." Mu Shanshan said with concern, "Think about it, a prisoner who has been in prison for more than ten years has no basic living security after coming out. I guess she won't be able to buy tickets on the bus or call. Everything has to start from scratch, just like a child."
"What do you want to do? Make an episode of the show and interview a prisoner who has just been released from prison?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.
"Try it. I haven't figured out what form to reflect this situation, whether to do an interview or use a documentary." Mu Shanshan said uncertainly.
"Then you discuss with Xiaoling. She also needs to collect information. It's time to come in the next two days." Lin Zixuan suggested.
Lin Xiaoling also wants to come to Shanghai City to participate in the Shanghai City International Film Festival.
This film festival has a special topic called "Session on the Works of Chinese Female Directors". During the film festival, a group of female directors will be screened, including directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Lin Xiaoling's "The Two of Us" is in it.
Whether in Hong Kong, Taiwan or mainland China, there are only a few female directors, and most of the themes of the films they shoot reflect women's consciousness.
Lin Xiaoling is only a junior. Since "The Two of Us" won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival and was recognized by industry experts, she was qualified to participate in this topic.
This seminar mainly explores the development of female films.
In China, female films are usually divided into three categories: films with female themes or themes, feminist films and films created by female directors. In terms of creative themes, it emphasizes that female films must be directed by women.
From this we can see that female movies belong to niches.
"Xiaoling is becoming more and more like a director. She used to be a crazy girl." Mu Shanshan joked.
"Isn't we all here like this? You are so nervous that you can't sleep when you host the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. This award ceremony passed easily." Lin Zixuan teased.
After this Oriole Award, Mu Shanshan's host received positive reviews, and the media generally commented that it was calm and generous.
For Mu Shanshan now, there is no problem in controlling the situation on the stage.
The Shanghai City International Film Festival did not invite Mu Shanshan to host it, but instead invited a local Shanghai City host who is proficient in foreign languages to host it. This is a film festival held by the Shanghai City Government, and they are more willing to use their own people.
After wandering around the street for a day, the two returned to the hotel.
Faced with media doubts, the Oriole Award Oriole Award Orchestra issued a statement that this time the selection is fair and just, and there is no problem.
This is a very official statement, and it is considered to give everyone an explanation. In fact, even if there is no explanation, it will not cause much storm.
The Shanghai-City International Film Festival is about to open. After two days of trouble, the media has set their sights on the film festival.
They questioned that the Oriole Awards were more important to cater to readers' needs. Readers like to read insider news, but the news is timely and if you report it every day, readers will be bored.
Therefore, finding a new goal is the best choice. (To be continued.)
