Chapter 257: Me and the Motherland

"Based in Asia, focusing on the Chinese language, and supporting newcomers!"

Ding Cheng stood in front of the press conference of the International Film Festival with a radiant face, and said impassionedly: "The positioning of this Magic City Film Festival is very clear, in the long-standing, profound and colorful cultural land, enhance the self-confidence of civilization, adhere to the exchange and mutual learning of film culture with Asian countries, and promote common development." ”

As an ambassador, what I do is the work of shouting hard.

"This time I am honored to be the image ambassador of the festival and participate as one of the judges......

"Whether it is the selection of films for screening, or cooperation and exchange, the festival has always paid great attention to the recommendation and introduction of Asian films. At the Cannes Film Festival last year, two Asian films won awards: "The Thief Family" and "What is Home" in Lebanon. ”

"Last year, we invited these two films and crews to the magic capital for the first time to participate in the screening at that time. The on-site interaction between the creators and mainland fans was very warm, especially "Thief Family", which became the most popular film and was hard to find. ”

"The good word-of-mouth and market response they have generated have also allowed domestic publishers to see opportunities. After the introduction and release this year, the box office of "Thief Family" exceeded 100 million, and "What is Home" reached 350 million!"

"As a low-budget filmed and produced literary film, such results also show the influence of the Magic Capital International Film Festival. ”

In the face of the media, Ding Cheng talked eloquently, Yaozi did his homework, and said confidently: "In the eyes of industry insiders, we have embarked on a new path of film cooperation and introduction: through film festival screenings, we will make appearances and build momentum for the core group of art films, and form the initial fermentation of word of mouth." ”

"Through a series of online and offline promotion and marketing such as short videos and word-of-mouth screenings, domestic distributors have promoted a wider range of user reach of films, driven further fermentation of word-of-mouth, and ultimately promoted the increase of film scheduling rate. ”

"The success of the two films fully proves the huge spillover effect of the Modu Film Festival!"

The sound shook the audience like a bell, full of confidence, so that everyone could feel the strong confidence from the organizers.

"Taking the past two years as an example, the best film won the Golden Jue the year before last was the Philippine film "Three Wheels of Floating Life", the Iranian film "Fundraising Storm" won the grand prize by the jury, and the Mongolian film "Farewell to Heaven" won the best film last year was the Mongolian film "Farewell to Heaven" ......"

"After these films won awards at the Shanghai Film Festival, they not only attracted more attention in their home countries, but also attracted more Asian filmmakers to participate in the Shanghai Film Festival, and the registration became more and more enthusiastic, forming a virtuous circle......

"This year, there are as many as 112 countries and regions, and more than 3,964 films participated. There are 36 countries in Asia, and 1,772 films have been registered......"

Looking at various media, Ding Cheng showed a bright smile and said with sincerity: "Now we have established cooperation mechanisms with the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Indonesian Asian Film Festival, the Macao International Film Festival, and the Mumbai Film Festival in India. ”

"It not only opens up a new channel for Chinese films to go global, but also promotes audiences from different Asian countries to enhance understanding and exchange people's hearts through film exchanges and mutual learning. ”

"This year, we have also planned an unprecedented series of five Asian country film exhibitions, so that more Asian films can also be seen in the Belt and Road Film Week, Golden Goblet Finalists, Asian Newcomer Award nominees and other screening units. ”

"All the judges unanimously expressed their hope that through the selection, more talented Asian film newcomers will emerge!"

The judges stood on the stage and asked the media to take pictures, Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Ding Cheng in the spotlight, and gave a thumbs up, awesome!

The actor's infectious power is not just on the big screen,

It works just as well in real life.

At the end of the press conference, all the judges came to the hotel and began to look at the shortlisted works. In fact, it has already been auditioned, otherwise it would not be possible to watch thousands of killings.

Ding Cheng looked directly at the ice, and his main job was to be an image ambassador, and the so-called judges were just good-looking, and of course they also had the right to vote.

After reading it with a frown, I shook my head secretly, and I was not optimistic overall!

It's too stream-of-consciousness, and a few flashbacks are a bit tricky and unfriendly to the audience.

There are too many things I want to express, full of stuff, love, suspense, and finally I want to play a moral sublimation?

It turned out to be nothing!

The best picture must not be played, and I can't pass this level. Huang Bo's acting skills are quite online, which is the only highlight, and he can vote for the best actor.

After reading it, I took a breath, and I happened to meet another judge, and I came up to say hello, it was actually Cao Baoping?

is also a director with a very unique style, a scorching sun scorching heart won Deng Chao Duan Yihong as the actor, and received rave reviews.

Li Mi's conjecture has also been read, and it feels good, and last year's dog thirteen caused widespread heated discussions in the society.

When they met for the first time, the two said a few words of politeness, Cao Baoping looked at Ding Cheng and said tentatively: "Is there a schedule recently, there is a book I want you to see." ”

Ding Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No problem, make an appointment to talk about it when you're done." ”

What else did I want to say, but suddenly the mobile phone rang, and Cheng Daoming said that there was something urgent?

Hurriedly flew back to the capital, took out three scripts without saying a word, and displayed: "Seventy years of the Great Celebration gift film, I'm going to find seven directors, twenty minutes each, see which book you like?"

Ding Cheng picked up the first one, and asked while watching, "So rushed?"

"Hey, there's no way, wait for the top to drag around and spend today, even the later two and a half months at most!"

Cheng Daoming sighed and said helplessly: "Fortunately, there are many people who are easy to do, and the seven directors go their own way, and finally work together to finish things." ”

"The other teams are basically together, and there are only the last three left, so let's choose your kid first. ”

Ding Cheng smiled, picked up the second notebook, and quickly browsed it, a little disappointed. Every special year has a tribute film, and all the celebrities and big names appear with zero pay, and it is not easy to make an appearance in it.

Picked up the third notebook, just finished reading the first two pages, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "That's it!"

Cheng Daoming laughed and said with his hand: "I guess you will choose it!"

Sure enough, I read the wrong person, three scripts, and the most challenging is it.

"Let everything go and join the group as soon as possible!" Cheng Daoming put away the other two scripts and instructed: "The task is very important, act hard, there must be people paying attention to it." ”

Ding Cheng nodded, called Sister Hua to explain, and asked Yaozai to contact the crew and start work as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, I also said it to Cao Baoping, and the other party understood it very well, after all, it was a big task, and we would talk about it after we met.

When I got home, I took out the script again and studied it carefully. The director is Zhang Yibai, known as the commercial director who is the best at making romance films.

The theme is called Encounter, and the male protagonist is called Gao Yuan, a scientific research technician in the fifties and sixties, secretly participated in the research and development of nuclear bombs, and spent three years incognito, dedicating his life to the country in obscurity.

The story is very touching, especially the love-hate parting with the heroine, although it is very short, but it is very moving.

The next day, I called, went to the first script reading meeting, and came to the hotel, and the opponent was actually an acquaintance?

Ren Suxi!

When she saw that the male protagonist turned out to be Ding Cheng, she also said excitedly: "I finally have the opportunity to play with Ding Cheng's mentor!"

Everyone burst into laughter, the director and screenwriter, the four of them sat down and began to study the script, although it was only a little more than 20 minutes, but for the motherland, not sloppy at all.
