Chapter Seventy-Nine: Harvest
The Shanghai International Film Festival is an international A-category film festival, but there are also extreme critics who call it a B-category.
Especially in the 14th session of 11 years, the quality of the award-winning films is not high, the market transactions are average, the red carpet star of the opening ceremony has become a Chinese filmmaker, and the biggest international superstar is actually a businessman and his wife, which is embarrassing enough.
As for the celebrities who attended the closing ceremony, it was not as good as the opening ceremony.
The stars who walked the red carpet that night were Zhang Jingchu, Xu Jixuan, Hui Yinghong, Yang Qianhua, Peng Yuyan, Yang Tianbao, Wu Xiubo, Huang Bo, Jiang Yiyan, Wang Baoqiao, etc.
And many of these people are not famous at the moment, and the entire closing ceremony can be called a dim star.
When Wu Jing walked on the red carpet, he immediately attracted the attention of countless media, after all, with a box office of 2.3 billion at the moment, Wu Jing is no longer the cold-faced little student who was not popular in the past.
Seeing Wu Jing being praised by the media stars, Lu Lin, who had not yet played, said in his heart: "I'm rubbing, did you think wrong just now, if you really go to shoot a TV series, it shouldn't be me who loses, but him!" But I think Wu Jing won't pay attention to this, and it is estimated that he will not take it to heart.
Then Lu Lin came on the field and was surrounded by countless media as usual. The audience likes to chase stars, but in the Chinese film industry, big directors are even more compelling, and Hua Yi made a fortune from Director Feng's works!
After answering some questions from the media, Lu Lin came to the fifth row and sat down next to Wu Jing, next to director Jia Zhangshu, who led the crew of "Mr. Hello Tree", and his position in the film was the producer.
In Lu Lin's view, some of Director Jia's works are still good, such as "Heaven is Destined" and "Mr. Hello Tree", which nakedly reflect the lives of some low-level people in contemporary China.
Especially the starring Wang Baoqian of the two films, this product is also a strange person. debuted with "Blind Well" and won the Golden Horse newcomer, although "Destined" did not bring him an award, his performance was absolutely moving.
The original form of Wang's bodyguard comes from a gangster, in the film, he has a beanie, a turtleneck, a leather jacket, a yellow schoolbag, and a motorcycle. Ride on the road and go home for the New Year.
Suddenly, several gangsters appeared in front of him with axes. Shout "Stop, borrow some money for the brothers, hurry up!"
Wang Baoqiao's face was like water, put his hand into his arms, and took out his gun. Bang bang bang, kill it cleanly.
To be honest, the footage of the bodyguard killing the robber with a gun made the audience feel a kind of sharp pleasure. It's like the Fengxue Mountain Temple of the head of the Lin Sect, shooting those who bully him one by one, and killing them all. This set of shots alone shows Director Jia's skills and bodyguard's acting skills.
As for "Mr. Hello Tree", which came to participate in the award this time, it is also the pinnacle of Baoqi's acting skills. And his acting skills were brilliant when he made literary films, and his achievements in making commercial films in the future were even greater, and he was one of the few actors in the mainland who could be called "carrying the box office".
As a non-professional actor who practiced martial arts in Shaolin and started as a trickster, it is not easy for him to achieve later achievements.
Lu Lin was next to Jia Zhangshu, next to Jia Dao was a bodyguard, after several people greeted and shook hands, Jia Zhangshu looked at Lu Lin a few times, and couldn't help but say: "Lu Dao is really young!"
Lu Lin smiled, and then said, "Director Jia, when will this film be released?"
Jia Zhangshu said: "In November, it was finally not banned, but the box office is not expected! Your "Return of the Great Sage" is not bad, a little interesting!"
Lu Lin said again: "Director Jia has won the award!"
There is really nothing to talk about when the director of literary films and the director of commercial films sit together, Lu Lin wants to talk to his bodyguard, but it is always difficult to talk to one person.
After waiting for a while, almost all the guests entered the venue and sat down, and the Golden Goblet Award ceremony began.
After a period of singing and dancing, the host came to the stage, and after playing the results of the film festival on the big screen, he threw "Wang Bang" and announced the winner of the Golden Goblet Award.
A total of 102 countries and regions participated in the festival, and 1,519 feature films were exhibited, including 16 films shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award and four Chinese films, namely "Butterfly on the Shoulder", "Lang Sings Mountain Song at the Opposite Door", "HELLO! Mr. Tree" and "The Return of the Great Sage".
As a result, two foreign award presenters were invited to announce that the "Special Jury Prize" was won by the Thai film "Friday Killer", a consolation award.
After the Thai director came up to accept the award, the next award was the best music, and the guests invited to come up were Zhang Jingchu and Xu Jixuan. The two beauties speak English to each other, which is barely a bit of a highlight.
The best music award went to the Chinese-language film "Lang Sings a Mountain Song at the Opposite Door", and the best cinematography went to "Friday Killer". After that, the screenwriter award was awarded non-stop.
Wu Jing couldn't sit still when he saw this, and whispered to Lu Lin: "Senior brother, are we in the wrong place?"
Lu Lin nodded and said in a low voice, "It seems to be!"
Your sister, no wonder Wu Baige, Director Feng, Zhang Guili, Shuangbing, Zhiling, Cheng Kun, etc. who attended the premiere did not come, this is simply an award for a bunch of literary and artistic coffees!
Of course, the main reason is that because they are not shortlisted, there is no need to cheer for Jin Jue. In other words, "The Return of the Great Sage" can be shortlisted, shouldn't it be for Lu Lin to come over to support the scene!
Anyway, Lu Lin also has the title of a two-billion director, and Wu Jing has also been very popular recently. The film was shortlisted, and the crew will definitely send someone.
After that, the awards continued, and "HELLO! MR. TREE" WON THE "JURY AWARD", AND THE BODYGUARD TOOK THE STAGE TOGETHER WITH DIRECTOR HAN JIE AND THE HEROINE TAN ZHUO, THAT IS, THE HEROINE LIU SIHUI IN "I AM NOT THE GOD OF MEDICINE".
Awards were awarded one after another, and when only the best film was left, a "Jury Award" was suddenly awarded, and the award-winning film "The Return of the Great Sage" was awarded.
Your sister is also a consolation award, and Lu Lin is too lazy to go on stage. But he could only go up and thank him a few words and get off the stage, and returned to his seat and said secretly: "In the future, I still insist on being a commercial film director who has no discipline, art or something is really enough!"
Immediately afterwards, the last award for Best Picture was awarded to the Turkish film "The Woman Who Can't Afford to Hurt".
So far, all the Golden Goblet awards have been awarded, and the shortlisted Chinese film "Butterfly on the Shoulder" has not been received, and there is not even a consolation prize.
The festival, which lasted about an hour, ended quickly, and many of the guests began to leave the venue and walk out.
Lu Lin and Wu Jing walked out side by side, and listened to him: "I will go directly to Jinling for military training, this time I will not participate in any activities if I don't train thoroughly." ”
Lu Lin smiled bitterly, "It's right not to come out, let's make a good film in the future!"
After the two of them came out of the hall door, Lu Lin said to Wu Jing: "You go first, I'll wait for someone!"
IMMEDIATELY WAITED FOR THE CREW OF "HELLO! MR. TREE" BEHIND HIM TO COME UP AND BECKONED: "HEY, BODYGUARD!"
The bodyguard in reality is not the stupid image on the screen. Seeing Lu Lin talking to him, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah, it's Director Lu, do you have something to look for me?"
Lu Lin said: "Well, is there any arrangement later, let's talk to you!"
The bodyguard grinned and said, "Okay!" He immediately turned to Jia Zhangshu and the others and said, "Director Jia, Director Han, Xiao Zhuo, I'll invite you to dinner another day!"
Jia Zhangshu also knows that although his film can win awards, he can't win people at all. Nodding to Lu Lin, he said to the bodyguard: "Go quickly!"
