The Yenching University Student Film Festival is held from the end of April to the beginning of May every year, and the 18th edition of the 11th year was supposed to be held on April 28. But in this parallel world, it was somehow changed to May 8.

"The Return of the Great Sage" was honored to be nominated for Best Picture, and finally beat "Tangshan Earthquake" to win the crown of Best Picture.

Wu Jing was also nominated for Best Actor, but lost miserably to Uncle Ge in "Zhao's Orphan".

There is also a Best Viewing Effect Award, beating "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" that played special effects scenes. In other words, it is okay not to win other awards for "The Return of the Great Sage", but if you want to say that the best viewing effect is still lost, it is a naked shady.

But Wu Jing did not win nothing, defeating Wen Zhang of "Ocean Paradise" and winning the most popular actor among college students.

The Yenching University Student Film Festival was very lively, the stars were shining, and Wu Jing, who lacked award recognition, specially came from the Jinling Military Region to attend the award ceremony.

In order to realize his dream of a military action blockbuster, Wu Jing trained in the Jinling Military Region for 18 months from the end of 10 years before and after he had the later "I Am the Sharp Blade of the Special Forces" and two "Wolf Warriors".

This kind of earnest and hard-working strength is almost a galaxy different from those little fresh meat who use twenty or thirty stand-ins for a play, and he is a good man!

However, to the surprise of the industry, Lu Lin did not attend the award ceremony, and only Song Ge attended on behalf of the producer. The Best Film Award was received by his senior brother Wu Jing. As for Lu Lin, he is already abroad at the moment.

As early as about ten days ago, Lu Lin edited "Ten Cold" into a 97-minute "green screen" version, and determined that the total number of shots in the whole film was 1,265, with an average shot duration of 4.6 seconds.

Usually, the average shot length of action movies is the shortest, about 4 seconds, like Marvel's action blockbuster "Iron Man" series, the average shot length is less than 4 seconds. But in the movie "Ten Cold", the action scenes do not account for the majority, and the style is not sharp, so the pace is relatively not so fast.

After the number of shots ready for post-production of special effects was determined, Lu Lin handed over more than 700 shots with the lowest difficulty coefficient to Bona, and they contacted special effects companies at home and abroad.

According to Lu Lin, the soldiers are divided into two ways, and the production is decentralized around the world. Special effects companies in China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and India should be contacted, and while ensuring quality, they should strive to complete it within five months and strive to be released on the National Day.

Bo Nafang's main opinion on the post-production work is as follows: Director Lu, we don't know much about special effects, don't go back and let a bunch of gringos fool around, you will do the whole process, and we will learn and learn.

Lu Lin's answer was: Time is pressing, and a team from all over the world runs down, and this film has to be postponed to the Chinese New Year file to fight in the ring with "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". The soldiers must be divided into two ways, or the people of China Film can also lead a team and be responsible for contacting several special effects companies.

Yu Dong originally had a headache about the collision between "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". "Ten Cold" is being postponed to the Lunar New Year, and it makes its own blockbuster fight, so don't you die!

Fortunately, the crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has a lot of Bo Na's team, and they have learned a lot of things behind Director Xu Ke, so it's a big deal to ask Director Xu to help bring someone to talk to the special effects company, in case "Ten Cold" really can't be released as scheduled on the National Day, Xu Ke will also have a headache!

said that Lu Lin also had a headache during this time, first of all, it was more troublesome to transfer the money in his personal account overseas. He first had to go to Hong Kong to open a bank account, and then through a "finance company", pay some handling fees, and transfer the money to Hong Kong in batches before he could exchange it for US dollars and transfer it to his personal account in the Cayman Islands.

He registered two offshore financial investment companies in Cayman and then went to Hollywood to look for a special effects company on the verge of bankruptcy to buy.

Although the American film industry is developed, the life of special effects companies is not easy, and it is strange that well-known companies have closed down one after another. Digital Domain, second only to ILM, was acquired by Pony Galloping in 2012 with a 70% stake due to poor management.

As for other small and medium-sized special effects companies, most of them are struggling because of the high cost and industry monopoly.

In the capitalist world, if you have money, you are the master, and if you are willing to spend money, you can do things. Lu Lin stayed in Hollywood for about 15 days, spent about six million dollars, and acquired a small and medium-sized special effects company.

After handing over the production of a small number of special effects shots of "Ten Cold" to this company, he flew to India non-stop. It took about 20 days to acquire an Indian special effects company in the name of another Cayman investment company for $4 million.

India is Hollywood's largest film digital special effects and animation outsourcing base, and it is very advantageous in terms of cost, and Lu Lin also took a fancy to this, so he decided to buy the Indian company, and also handed them some difficult special effects shots before leaving.

At this point, Lu Lin has been abroad for about 40 days, and it was already mid-June when he returned to China.

Regarding special effects, Song Ge didn't ask too much, and he was not an expert himself. just sighed a few words that domestic companies are not strong, and they have to run around the world to make special effects for harmful Chinese movies.

Then said that the Shanghai International Film Festival is about to open, and "The Return of the Great Sage" has been shortlisted for many awards, so it is time for Lu Lin, the director, to show up.

Lu Lin is still relatively low-key, and he usually doesn't like to go to crowded places. However, mainland film festivals and awards do need mainland filmmakers to hold them, and Lu Lin didn't think of any reason not to go.

Song Ge said again: "Your senior brother is very positive this time, he won the Most Popular Actor Award for College Students at the College Student Film Festival last time, but he invited us to a meal." ”

Lu Lin smiled: "Speaking of which, he has been in the film for many years, and he once mentioned the male supporting role at the Academy Awards with "The True Colors of Men", but he hasn't gotten it yet, so he feels bitter!"

Song Ge said: "Born in the mainland, it is not easy to win the Academy Award!"

Lu Lin sighed: "It's boring, if you want me to say that the box office is real, the award is just the icing on the cake." ”

Song Ge said: "You can't say that, if you really win an international award, the influence is still different!"

Lu Lin sneered more and more, "International award, hehe!"

In his view, making some films that reflect reality can promote the reform of legislation in certain aspects of society, and are of progressive significance to contemporary society, which is worthy of praise.

For example, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" reflects the problem of sky-high drug prices. Or like some super-realistic films in South Korea, which can make people think deeply after watching them, and are beneficial to society.

As for international awards, those gringos like to watch films that reflect the ignorance, ugliness, and oppression of human nature by the Chinese, or who has the ability to shoot it!
