Chapter 417 Interviewed
Bu Fan sighed, don't look at all kinds of coaxing domestic stars, but if you really want to go abroad, there are very few photographers who can remember.
Sometimes it's also very cool to listen to Lan Xinling chatting about gossip, and many of her peers are very different from what she imagined in her mouth, and they are also drunk.
As long as you are a star, you can't miss any opportunity to stand under the spotlight.
The highest level is to rely on works and acting skills, almost rely on personal connections, and if you are not good, you have to have money to smash it, and you will smash it out of exposure.
Since it is to promote his own works, he is willing to work hard.
Of course, after all, it is Bu Fan's second appearance in a work recognized by the international film festival, Bu Fan seems to be relaxed, but he is actually very nervous.
Before leaving the company, Lan Xinling patted her shoulder and comforted: "You have a new talent award at the Berlin International Film Festival at a young age, and the actor Liang Liang is also in his thirties. ”
"Our chances of winning this time are not high!"
The next day, I had dinner with Guan Hu, and the other party got straight to the point: "The big hit is "Thief Family" directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, and the demand is very high. ”
"After all, this is the fourth time that they have hit the Palme d'Or, and the work is really good, so this time it should be nine out of ten. ”
Bu Fan poured Guan Hu full of wine, and said lightly: "Being shortlisted is an affirmation in itself, or that sentence, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and it's useless to think about anything else." ”
Guan Hu glared at Bu Fan, and scolded with a smile: "You kid can think about it, anyway, there is no actor shortlisted, right?"
Bu Fan laughed, winning an award is the most difficult thing to figure out, no matter what country a high-grossing commercial film goes, it will definitely not be treated well by the judges, even the Oscars are no exception.
Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there must be ways to canvass for votes, but we can't reach it, and it's useless to try hard.
Each festival has a dedicated selection agency, and Venice and Cannes have special selection committees for the selection of films from all over the world, and of course you have to sign up first.
In Berlin, on the other hand, the members of the Filmmakers' Council and the chairperson of each unit select the films.
The general criterion is that the selection committee is convinced the first time they see the films. If there is a second trial, most of it is because those who have something to do with the film continue to force it.
The president of the Cannes Film Festival said: "I rarely change my opinions and decisions, but I have to be tactful and polite like a diplomat." ”
When asked for a second trial, we all re-watch it, or let someone else see it, to confirm our judgment. It's a complex and tricky job, and it needs to be handled in a delicate and proper way.
The members are all well-known screenwriters, producers, directors, and actors in the industry, and occasionally composers, writers, and people from the TV industry join in.
The jury is generally composed of ten people, with a chair of the jury.
The awards of the three major film festivals are decided by the jury through discussion and voting.
In some years, there is no suspense about the ownership of the grand prize, which can be described as a standout.
However, in a year with many excellent works, the attribution of some awards becomes a big problem.
At some film festivals, the president of the jury can even influence the decision of the award. And in some film festivals, the presidency is just a vacant position.
For example, one year at the Venice Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino was the chairman of the jury, and under his control, his ex-girlfriend Sophia's "Somewhere" won the Golden Lion Award, a result that even the American media was very dissatisfied.
Therefore, the film festival is actually just a fangame, highlighting the judges' personal aesthetic tastes and tendencies.
Predicting the attribution of awards from the score of the house journal is the most unreliable gamble.
But it is precisely because of this unpredictability and unpredictability that the film festival has become the most anticipated film event for all fans.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be shortlisted for Cannes this time!"
Guan Hu clinked glasses of wine with Bu Fan and said in a low voice: "Idle is idle, just sign up for a try, and the result..."
Bu Fan was stunned, good guy, is this okay?
"My goal is the three major film festivals in China, knowing the unequal treatment you have received at the Golden Horse Awards during this time, this time this side is dedicated to the Golden Horse Awards, which has already begun to operate, and I can leave a sentence today and be shortlisted for at least three awards. ”
"The gentlemen are going to kill them openly and shut up..."
Guan Hu's face was full of red light, patted Bu Fan's shoulder hard, and said proudly: "Don't worry, the sins of a few months will not be in vain, and the finalists will be nine out of ten!"
What else can Bu Fan say, raise his wine glass, and do it!
Winning the award is actually a once-born and two-time mature, and there are more times you have been shortlisted, and you can always get a consolation prize in the end, right?
Needless to say, the golden statue is basically played by its own people, the golden rooster is too political, and the seniority is very powerful, and it is not his turn to come out now.
Only the Golden Horse Awards, in recent years, have gradually become the world of domestic films, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, it basically occupies half of the sky, and the right to speak is getting heavier and heavier.
And there is something from some time ago, and I feel that I should do something...
Buddhas have to fight for a stick of incense, let alone people...
"When the time comes, Yanni will also go, let's walk the red carpet together. ”
Guan Hu Meimei ate a bite of food and said in high spirits: "First brush up a wave of popularity at the international film festival to improve the quality of the work, and then start publicity, and then the box office can at least double." ”
"The investment is not big, there is definitely no problem in returning the investment, as for how much you can earn, it is hard to say, according to my plan, I will win at least two well-known awards, the more the merrier. ”
"Especially the Golden Horse Awards, I have dealt with a lot in recent years, and last year I sent the old cannon to the throne of the actor, and today we will work hard to send another one!"
"When we get back from Cannes, we must..."
Bu Fan looked at Guan Hu's state of pointing out the country, no wonder, in the past few years, the wind and water have been booming, and if you have the strength, you will naturally have the right to speak, the more awesome the other party, the better, and you will enjoy it.
Two days later, he flew to France, and there were already many media waiting in advance, and under Lan Xinling's arrangement, he was interviewed by a well-known media.
The beautiful host greeted her with a few words and said straight to the point: "I heard that you are unkempt all day long for this drama, and you don't even wash your face?"
"Hey, it's almost, anyway, it's like this, we're not a little fresh meat. ”
Bu Fan said lightly: "The role is still important, and many things are required by me." Don't underestimate unkempt, at least more than an hour a day, unload it for half a day, and finally feel troublesome, just go to bed directly. ”
"Why did you take on this drama in the first place?
"It's still because of the script, I feel that there is something very different, and the characters are very different from before, so there is enough space to show them. ”
"As for the difficulty, the main thing is to cooperate with the cow, every day is to communicate emotionally, give it good food, massage all day long, talk and chat, and finally shoot smoothly. ”
"How do you feel about being selected for the Cannes Film Festival?"
"I have always felt that winning awards is something that is unattainable, and the most important thing is the affirmation of other people's works. Even if I didn't win the award, it was a huge encouragement to me. ”
"And what do you think of this movie?"
"As a stand-alone production, 'Bullfight' deserves a little time to savor it. ”
"Although its form, the image of people and cows getting along with each other, and dirty images greatly affect the audience's input, but in today's world, when many movies lack their own true values, I think it is really rare to be able to have some warmth from the depths of human nature in addition to the irony. ”
"Can you be more specific?"
"The reason why I say this is an independent film, there are actually a lot of dramatic conflicts in it that there is still a relatively large commercial space to operate, such as Niu Er's fight with four bandits to protect the cows, and the encounter with wounded soldiers and devils passing by the village, these plots can be filmed more interesting, thrilling, and the film will be better-looking. ”
"But the director emphasized a kind of impermanence of fate, using the devil's mine to kill the refugees who wanted to kill the cow, it was all a coincidence, not the original intention, and he didn't want to make Niu Er a hero from beginning to end, because in the background of this story, he was just an accident left by the accident of history!"
"As the heroine of the movie, what do you think of Yanni?"
"I personally think the most exciting place in the whole movie is where there is Yanni, the character of Jiu'er is in stark contrast to Niu Er, but unfortunately there is only a preface and no afterword, and the life is cut off by the war, so it can only be replaced by the cow, and this emotional reference is actually difficult to complete. ”
"Because she didn't have many plays when the script was first provided, but after finishing the front, her reaction was very real, especially the scene where she hit me, and she absolutely started..."
"Yes, I was very impressed by that scene, it seems that you squatted down to touch the cow's milk, and she watched it from behind, was it improvised?"
