Chapter 80 Golden Flower Award invitation, Starlight’s mischief

The production of Pokémon was in full swing, but Shen Lang didn't put too much pressure on them.

They are all a group of very mature producers, and in terms of previous quality, they fully meet Shen Lang's standards.

Moreover, the first Pokémon movie was produced a long time ago, and their technology now can be said to be far ahead of that time.

So what he produced was much better than he imagined.

After Pokémon was halfway through, the total box office of The Shining was also released, reaching a total of 2 billion, directly breaking through the highest box office in the history of Chinese horror films.

Shen Lang is quite satisfied with this result. After all, many people have not yet changed their ideology and still like movies starring young actors.

It can be said to be a miracle that they are all newcomers, with new directors and even brand-new acting methods, and they can achieve such high box office.

It would be too much to ask for anything more.

At this time, a text message came from the company mailbox. When Shen Lang opened it and took a look, he was stunned.

In fact, it’s not just him, I believe any filmmaker will be refreshed after seeing this text message.

Held every two years, the Qianhua Film Festival is one of the most valuable film festivals in China.

This matter has been forgotten in his mind, and he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to send a message.

This was something he never expected. He was just a new director.

You must know that the Qianhua Film Festival has a history of more than 50 years, and those who can be actively invited are basically veteran directors.

It can be said that it is extremely rare for someone like him to be actively invited not long after his debut.

Moreover, the awards at the Thousand Flowers Film Festival are very valuable. Although some shady films are not excluded, they are generally recognized by the majority of filmmakers.

The reason why Shen Lang forgot to register for the film festival was mainly because after participating in horror films, the probability of being rejected was very high.

Because horror films generally have a lot of special effects, films with many special effects will have a certain suppression in their ratings.

Because they believe that special effects will obscure the actors' acting skills, they have stricter requirements for films with many special effects.

So it has been many years since a horror film won the Thousand Flowers Award.

Not even a single nomination.

This time I actually took the initiative to invite myself. It seemed that I could at least get a nomination if I went.

Although this is not really an award, it can still be considered an honor.

Of course, it would be even better if he could win the Best New Director award for this film.

In addition, there is also the Best New Actor Award.

But this is often the darkest award. Many people want to become famous with this award.

Therefore, the entanglement of interests is very deep.

However, Shen Lang doesn't care about these interest disputes. Anyway, these things don't affect his sales.

He took a closer look at the time of the film festival, it was seven days later.

By that time, the production of Pokémon will be almost complete, and when I return from the Thousand Flowers Film Festival, it should be almost ready for review and broadcast.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked Wu Jiajia to handle these matters, which was to submit his film for review.

Hand it in together with Young and Dangerous and The Shining.

In the selection room, there were more than twenty very senior filmmakers sitting.

They are constantly discussing a thick pile of information in their hands, which includes various movies released in the past year.

They must make judgments that are as fair and impartial as possible.

At this moment, a group of people were discussing with blushing faces, and information about Shen's Pictures was clearly written on the paper in their hands.

It turned out to be a group of senior film luminaries, facing Shenlang's work, and they were noisy.

Some people think that Shen Lang's works have high artistic value, and he dares to innovate, creating a precedent for a genre.

He even dared to take the initiative not to use fresh actors and veteran actors, but to proactively discover new star actors.

Moreover, the actors' acting skills and the plot of the film are both remarkable, enough to win a Newcomer Director Award.

In fact, it can be said that there should be no objection to this matter, because as far as Shen Lang's contemporaries are concerned, there is no one who can fight.

If all the new directors of the same period are tied together, it is not enough for Shen Lang Films to fight with one hand.

And the reason why they are so quarrelsome is because a large number of people are on good terms with Starlight Company.

Even 1/3 of them had received help from Starlight Company in their film careers.

So when Lei Bin learned that Shen Lang and the others were going to judge awards at the film festival, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

They are already famous enough. If they win this valuable Thousand Flowers Award again, that would be great.

Winning the Thousand Flowers Award means that he has been recognized by the industry.

This is not what Lei Bin wants to see. What he wants to see is many companies joining together to squeeze out Shen Lang.

He must not be allowed to win the audience and be recognized by his peers.

Otherwise, if they are allowed to develop like this, where will their Starlight Company have a foothold?

So I directly called these judges one by one and asked them to tilt a little bit when making selections.

But there are also some people who are very upright and disdainful of these things and do not give Starlight Company face at all.

Hence the current scene. A group of old men with a combined age of over 1,000 years old were noisy and blushing in the room.

One of them, a decent old man in Mao suit, slapped the table and roared.

"Are you old guys blind? The Shining and Young and Dangerous have a box office of nearly 3 billion. Do you think the artistic content of "The Shining" is not as good as Starlight's "Crystal", a 3 million box office literary film?

You tell me there is no box office, so where does his artistic content come from?

You must know that the investment in this movie cost 16 million, and my mother has already lost money to my grandma’s house. I want to award the Newcomer Award to this movie, but I will never agree to it!"

There were several other people who echoed this, all of whom were relatively upright.

But after all, the arm cannot twist the thigh, and there are too many people who oppose it.

One of the judges with a goatee said.

"The box office cannot determine the quality of a film. The vast majority of viewers don't know what art is.

We can’t be so superficial and look at things with a deeper and more critical eye.”

The old man in Mao suit snorted coldly.

"Critical eye? Do you think I don't know about the fact that you organized a group to go to Muzu Road yesterday?

You just went to find those technicians to criticize, right?"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the others immediately expressed their displeasure.

"Every other movie is easy to say, but the movies made by Shen's Pictures are definitely not good. Their movies have no positive energy, let alone profound meaning, and they are definitely not suitable."

The old man in the Chinese tunic suit almost had his nose crooked with anger, but otherwise everyone was calm.

But when it comes to the Newcomer Award, they start to show their respective faces.

Because this award involves too many interests, it is not a simple matter.

Seeing the stench here, the old man in Mao suit slammed the door and left.
Chapter completed!
