Nie Wei had already returned to Kyoto on August 18.

At that time, it was the time for the review of the Star Glory Festival to come out with the results, and Nie Wei, who was holding the title of judge of the Star Glory Festival, naturally had to go through the motions.

On the same day, 50 people from the entertainment industry who participated in the review gathered in the large conference room of Huayi Company to vote for the final selected films and actors before the shortlist.

And this time the vote will also determine the final shortlist.

Nie Wei originally thought that he was going through a formality this time, he was holding the title of judge, but he did not participate in the voting, after all, Nie Wei still has to film, how can he have time to watch hundreds of movies and TV series, even if it is just a quick and rough look, Nie Wei can't squeeze out time.

Therefore, only under the premise of special circumstances, Nie Wei needs to stand up and exercise the right to vote in his hand, but he did not expect that Nie Wei had the purpose of going through the motions this time, but unexpectedly encountered a special situation.

Among the shortlisted film quotas, there was a tie in the ticket.

Originally, there was no need for Nie Wei to come forward for a tie vote, because Nie Wei considered the possibility of a tie vote at that time, so when there are flat vote works or others in the shortlist of a certain unit, two equal vote works will be taken out and another round of voting will be conducted, and those with more votes will be shortlisted, and those with fewer votes will be eliminated.

But to Nie Wei's surprise, as a result of the second round of voting, the two documentaries still maintained a tie vote.

Even the fifty judges who participated in the voting were stunned, if they weren't allowed to communicate the results with each other, they all wanted to ask the people around them which movie they voted for, if it was unanimous, it would be fine, if it was another one, I was afraid that they would have to quarrel.

"Nie Wei, look?" Chen Daoming, as the vice chairman of the jury, took the results and looked at Nie Wei with an embarrassed expression.

This situation is clearly not suitable for another vote.

"Either you make a decision, as the actual leader of the jury this time, your one vote should be more important, or your one vote counts as two votes, tell me your results, and select the final shortlisted works. Nie Wei whispered.

This was his mistake, and he didn't expect two consecutive draws, but if Chen Daoming, the vice chairman, is counted as two votes, then this problem will be solved.

However, when Chen Daoming heard this, he immediately waved his hand and refused.

"Nie Wei, if the voting results come out, I am willing to take this responsibility, but now that the results of the second round of voting have been released, if the weight of my votes is increased at this time, then the other part of the judges will definitely feel unfair, it is better for you to vote for your own vote, I believe everyone will obey you." ”

Looking at Chen Daoming, who was full of rejection, Nie Wei was speechless in his heart, this guy was old and sophisticated, and he knew that this was a job that offended people, so he simply pushed it to himself.

But Nie Wei was not afraid, didn't he just choose a movie to come out, what was there to be embarrassed about, so he didn't shirk anymore, and immediately called the staff and told them to prepare a screening room, and he had to watch both documentaries before he could make a decision.

Because this group of judges has often watched films in Huayi recently, the two documentaries have already been prepared, and Nie Wei has just ordered to go down in less than five minutes, and the screening room is ready.

Nie Wei also got the synopsis of two documentaries.

One of them is "Land" filmed by Wang Mo, a famous documentary director in the circle, which records the life of farmers in the north and south of China, while the other is from an unknown documentary director who recorded the life of Shanghai drifters "The Wandering Man".

Nie Wei first watched Wang Mo's "Land".

As a well-known documentary director in the circle, Wang Mo's strength goes without saying, the documentary shows his professional skills from the beginning, stable shots, whether it is long-range, medium or close-up, all handy, aerial photography also shows the grandeur of the two lands, and the simplicity and diligence of the farmers recorded by the camera are also shown one by one.

Although it didn't give Nie Wei many surprises, but in terms of the quality of this documentary, Nie Wei really wants to give an excellent one, which is definitely of a first-class level, and he is fully qualified to be shortlisted.

However, this also made Nie Wei even more curious, why could another documentary be a tie with such a documentary.

Nie Wei flipped through the details of "The Wandering Man", which recorded that the director of the filming was called Wang Zimu, to Nie Wei's surprise, the documentary director named Wang Zimu was only twenty-six years old this year, and in the circle of directors, he was definitely the youngest among the young.

Interestingly, this "Wandering Man" has no investors, and Wang Zimu has not joined any company, it is completely such a documentary film that he personally funded.

"It's courageous. Nie Wei said with a smile, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was mockery or appreciation.

The documentary began quickly, and the first shot made Nie Wei frown slightly, because he could obviously feel that the camera was a little shaky, and Nie Wei could see that this was not the kind of thing that could be created for the pursuit of real shots, but because the hands of the person holding the machine were not stable.

The first shot is very unprofessional, this is Nie Wei's evaluation.

But fifteen minutes later, Nie Wei finally understood why so many judges voted for this documentary, although this documentary is very naïve from the shooting technique to the lens composition, but it is better than one point, that is, it is full of creativity.

Wang Zimu, the director, did not simply record the life of the people in Shanghai, but chose a local as one of the protagonists of the documentary through comparison, and then chose a Shanghaipiao as the other protagonist.

The local is a family of six, living happily, the male protagonist has a not beautiful but very virtuous wife, has a pair of children, and the parents are healthy and live happily.

In comparison, Wang Zimu chose another Shanghai drifter to live a different life, and he used a few paragraphs in the documentary to make a comparison.

For example, in the first short paragraph, the person holding the camera at the beginning asked the local actor and Hupiao, what is home.

"A home is a house, and a house is a home. The local actor of Pearl replied with a smile, and the answer given by the other protagonist Hu Piao was similar.

However, although the answer is the same, the tone of the two answers is very different.

The local's tone of reply was natural, but Hu Piao's reply was tinged with a hint of longing.

Then in this small paragraph, there are also a lot of data on the price of real estate in Pearl City and the daily income of Shanghai Drifter, through such a comparison, how difficult it is for Shanghai Drifter to have a house in Pearl City is immediately shown, and the audience can immediately understand what is the reason for the lack of desire in the initial answer of Shanghai Drift.

The second paragraph is the same, still asking what a home is.

The answer given is similarly the same, where there is a family, there is home.

The content is the same as the first paragraph, still a strong contrast, and the third and fourth paragraphs are the same.

The whole documentary is divided into four sections for a total of one hour and three minutes, Nie only saw it until the end, and must admit that this prince Mu is very good at using the lens to mobilize people's emotions, through such a strong contrast, if this documentary is promoted, it will inevitably cause a lot of resonance in Shanghai and even North and Guangzhou.

But the shortcomings are not without it, precisely because the director pursues strong contrasts, the life choices of the two protagonists are too extreme, which seems too deliberate.

But without hiding the flaws, this is also an excellent documentary.

After reading the two works, Nie Wei is also hesitating, Wang Mo's "Land" is better than four levels and eight stability, if you change to a martial arts master, you must be the kind of Taoist, Buddhism and the like, kung fu is practiced step by step, and the foundation is quite solid.

And Wang Zimu's "The Wanderer" is similar to the heirs of the evil way, he uses whatever kung fu is easy to use, and he likes to go off the rails with swords.

Put the two works together, in terms of comprehensive quality, there is no doubt that Wang Mo is better, but just like this, Wang Zimu's "The Wandering Man", Nie Wei is a little reluctant.

"Why am I so embarrassed about myself, and I didn't win the award in the end. Nie Wei suddenly smiled, and the tangled expression on his face disappeared.

He figured it out, since both works are excellent, why don't they stay together in the next round of competition, anyway, it's just a shortlist, and one more is not a big deal.

Especially this prince Mu, Nie Wei really wants this young man a chance.

Nie Wei quickly returned to the conference room except for the screening room, and none of the judges present left, all waiting for Nie Wei's results.

"I announce that both works have been selected at the same time. After Nie Wei entered the house, he didn't play any suspense, and announced directly.

This decision caused an uproar among the fifty judges, but they discussed it, but none of them questioned it, as Nie Wei guessed, this is just a shortlist, and it is not the final award, everyone will not have much meaning, and now everyone is talking about the result that is beyond everyone's expectations.

"After delaying you for two hours, I arranged a restaurant for you, which can be regarded as reparation. Nie Wei opened his mouth and announced.

As soon as he heard this, the discussion suddenly stopped, and all of them became polite, and none of the fifty judges on the scene refused, and they participated in the dinner with Nie Wei, and they gradually dispersed until nine o'clock in the evening.

The results of everyone's voting were also made into a beautiful list by the staff of Huayi in charge of the official website of the Star Festival, ready to be announced on time at 8 a.m. on August 20.

Wang Zimu looked at the old man who stopped him in surprise, wondering why he did this.

"With my phone, it takes five minutes to open a web page on your broken phone, or I'm fast. The old man took out Huawei's latest mobile phone and handed it to Wang Zimu, Wang Zimu immediately took it when he heard it, his mobile phone model is indeed very old, and it is very stuck to open a web page.

The old man's Huawei mobile phone is very fast, and in a few seconds, he opened the homepage of the Star Ceremony, and sure enough, at the top of the home page, the first one is the shortlist of the Star Festival, after seeing it, Wang Zimu immediately couldn't wait to click on the webpage.

However, just when the web page was loaded, Wang Zimu was a little afraid to look at it.

"Look at your cowardice, why don't I help you see it?" The old man at the newsstand glanced at Wang Zimu with disdain.

"No, I'm not cowardly, I just wandered a little. Wang Zimu's face turned red, so that he would not admit that he had a momentary retreat just now, and at this time, the webpage had already been opened, and Wang Zimu slowly pulled down.

crossed the shortlist for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and so on, and at the end of the shortlist, he finally found the words Best Documentary.

What made his heart tremble was that the name of the first shortlisted documentary had nothing to do with his work.

Wang Zimu slowed down the speed of the pull-down, almost at a distance of millimeters, and rubbed for several seconds before people vaguely saw the name of the second shortlisted work, but unfortunately it was not Wang Zimu's work.

Wang Zimu's heart was a little cold, his hands were a little trembling, and he didn't care to pull the third and fourth, looking at the unfamiliar name, Wang Zimu was a little stupid, because all of them were not his work "The Wandering Man".

"You can't expect too much. Wang Zimu smiled bitterly, the four shortlisted works did not have what he expected, how much he expected at the beginning, how disappointed he was at this moment.

"Don't you have that documentary?" The old man at the newsstand saw Wang Zimu's expression, and vaguely guessed the result, and sure enough, after he asked, Wang Zimu nodded with a wry smile.

"Alas, young man, don't be discouraged, you've just started, didn't you tell me too, that was your first work, it's okay to fail, record hard work, wouldn't it be a pity if you gave up in your life because of a failure. ”

"Old man, you're right, I shouldn't have thought about it in the first place. Wang Zimu recovered very quickly, and it can only be said that he is not confident that he can be shortlisted, but he is still very disappointed in the end.

"Have you figured out what you're going to do next?, why don't you listen to the old man's words......" The old man took the mobile phone that Wang Zimu had returned, and subconsciously pulled down the webpage as he spoke, and then the whole person was suddenly stunned.

"Xiao Wang, are you called Wang Zimu?" the old man at the newsstand suddenly asked.

"That's right. The lost prince Mu replied subconsciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head in surprise, because he had only told the old man of the newsstand that his surname was Wang, but he had never said his full name.

"Do you look at it? Wang Zimu, "Wandering Man", where did you lose the selection, this one is obviously on the list!" After the old man heard Wang Zimu's affirmative answer, he immediately excitedly handed his mobile phone to Wang Zimu, pointed to the last line of the list and said.

Wang Zimu subconsciously looked over, and sure enough, there was indeed the name of himself and his work on it.

It turned out that he subconsciously thought that the shortlist for the best documentary was the same as the others, all four, but he didn't expect that this time there were five works in the shortlist for the best documentary.

"It's really me, it's really ......me," Wang Zimu muttered, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally he simply shouted at the top of his voice: "It's really me! I'm shortlisted! I'm going to be on the red !!carpet!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Wang, shout lightly, be careful of your voice. The old man at the newsstand laughed, and his happiness was no less than that of Wang Zimu.
