Chapter 86 [Invitation to the Film Festival]
In December 2032, more than two months after the release of "Truman's World", the box office has risen and word of mouth has exploded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among them, Bai Yi, who won the best actor at the Venice Film Festival and the actor of "Truman's World", was very low-key, not busy with work, but just quietly stayed at home with the children, and became the most good-looking dad in the mouth of netizens.
Although Bai Yi wanted to rest for a while, many people still came to the door.
Even if I know that Bai Yi will appear in other movies and the possibility of TV series is very small, there are still many scripts sent over, hoping to impress Bai Yi. In addition, there are a lot of program advertising invitations.
In addition, the director charter also came to meet Bai Yi in person, hoping that Bai Yi could serve as the chairman of the jury of the 32nd Pearl International Film Festival.
It's not the charter to really talk to Bai Yi about this, it's just that the people here at the film festival are not very familiar with Bai Yi, so they found the chairman of the jury of the last Golden Goblet Award to be the intermediary, hoping that Bai Yi can serve as the chairman of the jury of the 32nd Golden Goblet Award.
You must know that Bai Yi is definitely a leading figure among domestic actors and directors now.
Not to mention the two previously very successful films "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Journey to the West", it is only said that Bai Yi has won a lot of awards in the past two years with the two films "The Redemption of Qincheng" and "Truman's World".
Golden Film Award Best Actor, Golden Horse Award Best Actor, Cannes Best Actor, Chinese First Golden Globe Award Best Actor, Venice Best Actor, and the Golden Lion Award, the highest award at the Venice Film Festival!
Purely as an actor, Bai Yi is definitely the most successful among Chinese actors, not to mention that Bai Yi is also a very successful director.
In fact, the Pearl International Film Festival hoped that Bai Yi could serve as a judge early in the morning, but at that time, Bai Yi was busy with the two films "The Redemption of Qincheng" and "Truman's World", and it was obvious that there was some conflict in the schedule.
To really talk about it, the Pearl International Film Festival actually has a strong grudge against Bai Yi.
Because Bai Yi's "The Redemption of Qincheng" and "Truman's World" did not consider the Pearl International Film Festival from the beginning.
Director Qian of the Film Bureau looked at Bai Yi, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Bai Yi, you are very welcome to bring your works here at the Pearl Film Festival." After all, it is China's own film festival, when will you make a film and consider participating in the Pearl Film Festival?"
Hearing Director Qian's words, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "If you have the opportunity, you will naturally participate." ”
Listening to this, the expression on the charter's face was quite intriguing.
He glanced at Bai Yi who was sitting beside him, he didn't expect that the boy who wrote the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" had come to this point now and achieved so much, which really surprised him.
However, if you think about it carefully, Bai Yi is a genius when he is young, and it is not so incomprehensible that he can come this far now.
However, generally speaking, directors of the three major film festivals will not take the Golden Goblet Award of the Pearl International Film Festival too seriously at all.
Although it shows that the Pearl Film Festival is also an international A-class film festival, it is said to be as famous as the Cannes International Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, but its influence and gold content are far less than the three major European film festivals.
It is precisely because of this that Director Qian said that to Bai Yi, and he also hopes that there will be excellent films like "The Redemption of Qincheng" and "Truman's World" at the Pearl International Film Festival.
In this way, the influence of the Pearl International Film Festival can be truly enhanced.
However, this time, it is clear that Director Qian and the charter are not here for the film works, but for the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the film festival.
Before this, Bai Yi had not served as a judge of the film festival, and it was obviously a great challenge for the Pearl International Film Festival to let Bai Yi serve as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the 32nd Pearl International Film Festival this time.
After all, Bai Yi has never served as a judge before, and this time he is not a judge, but directly a judge of the main competition unit.
This surprised Bai Yi as well.
The Pearl International Film Festival sent such an invitation, full of sincerity, Bai Yi now has time, naturally he can't refuse, just like Director Qian said that although the Pearl International Film Festival is not as famous and influential as Venice and Cannes, these old international film festivals.
But after all, this is the only A-class international film festival in China, and as a Chinese actor and director, Bai Yi naturally hopes that the Pearl International Film Festival can develop better.
Even if he now agrees to be the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the Pearl International Film Festival, he will not start working immediately.
Now the Pearl International Film Festival has just begun to prepare for the next edition, and the selection of films is being launched, and the registration of films will be accepted from November 15.
If Bai Yi is the judge of the main competition unit, the most important thing he does is to watch the film.
Bai Yi also knew that this matter was not so easy, but now that Director Qian of the film festival and the charter had come over in person, Bai Yi could only nod and agree.
Bai Yi smiled and asked, "Director Qian, let me be the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, aren't you afraid that I will mess up this film festival?"
Director Qian almost agreed when he heard Bai Yi, but he didn't seem to want to be the chairman of the jury, just to serve as a judge, which made Director Qian a little surprised.
The charter was also a bit surprising.
Director Qian thought for a while and couldn't help but say: "Bai Yi, we all agree that you are very suitable for the chairman of the jury, your talent and ability in film are obvious to all, and I believe that you will definitely be able to select excellent films for this year's Pearl Film Festival." ”
More importantly, Director Qian and others are very aware of Bai Yi's current status in the domestic film industry.
If Bai Yi serves as a judge of the film festival, then the subsequent chairman of the jury will at least be better than Bai Yi.
Generally speaking, the chairman of the jury is a film director, although Bai Yi is an actor and has won many awards, his directing skills are proved by "Truman's World".
In this way, there are few people in China who can be suppressed under the limelight of Bai Yi, and they may not be able to coordinate in terms of time.
If I go to another big international director, I don't know what will happen.
As for letting Bai Yi serve as the chairman of the jury of the Pearl International Film Festival, it is actually not an accident at all, it can be said that Bai Yi should be the chairman of the jury now.
……
Bai Yi shook his head and smiled, and said, "You make me feel a little pressured like this. ”
The judges of the main competition unit of the film festival may be very relaxed, but the chairman of the jury is under a lot of pressure, because the main competition unit is the most concerned at the film festival, and it will be a pressure for the final award to be awarded.
Bai Yi can imagine this, especially after the announcement of the major awards, the chairman of the jury is on the cusp.
The charter said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to take it too seriously, just just enjoy the movie and enjoy it." ”
Bai Yi nodded, he also knew that he couldn't refuse anymore at this time.
After all, letting him serve as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the film festival is sincerity and trust. (To be continued.) )
