Chapter 80: Pearl Film Festival

Just when Bai Yuehua's new album "Thirty-Year-Old Woman" was a big hit, Bai Yi received a call from the director's charter and invited him to participate in the opening of the 20th Pearl International Film Festival in Pearl City.

Because the "Dedication of Suspect X" directed and filmed by the charter will be released for the first time at the Pearl International Film Festival and officially debuted.

Although the movie "The Devotion of Suspect X" has little to do with Bai Yi, after all, Bai Yi is the author of the original novel. For this reason, the charter invited Bai Yi to attend the opening of "The Devotion of Suspect X".

The Golden Pen Award-winning novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" has received numerous positive reviews since its release, and I was amazed by the most amazing hoax about the mystery and love in it, and I was looking forward to the film adaptation and release early on.

Now, "The Devotion of Suspect X", which is guided by the charter, is finally about to be unveiled.

……

It's almost June, and it's close to exam month, which is a critical time.

However, Bai Yi was very curious about the "Dedication of Suspect X" directed by the charter, and he didn't know if there was much change, so he accepted the invitation, and finally asked for leave to go to Pearl City.

The Pearl International Film Festival is one of the nine major A-category international film festivals in the world, and it is also one of the first international A-category film festivals recognized by the International Association of Film Producers. The opening red carpet of the Pearl International Film Festival not only gathers famous filmmakers from all over the world, but also presents the latest style of the Chinese film industry completely, becoming the best window to show the power of Chinese films of the year.

In fact, the charter did not originally plan to put "The Dedication of Suspect X" at the Pearl International Film Festival, but only agreed to it at the invitation of some friends.

After all, the influence of the Pearl International Film Festival is still not as good as that of Cannes and Berlin.

When he arrived in Mingzhu City, he arranged for someone to come and pick up Bai Yi and went directly to the hotel.

As the original author of the novel, especially the popular young poet Bai Yi and Bai Gongzi, the main creators of the crew of "The Dedication of Suspect X" have expressed their welcome, and the relationship between Chen Ming and Bai Yi, who plays an important role in Shishen, is not bad.

Because after Chen Ming took over this role, he deliberately asked Bai Yi to understand the character of Shishen in his pen, Chen Ming is a very serious old actor, an old actor, and he is very serious about the role he plays.

That's why I want to listen to Bai Yi's analysis of the original author.

The charter smiled and introduced several leading actors in the movie to Bai Yi, who are also first- and second-tier actors in the film and television industry today, and they all have certain acting skills, otherwise the charter would not have let them star in "The Dedication of Suspect X", a movie that pays great attention to inner drama.

"Director, when will the movie be released?"

The charter replied with a smile: "It's August 9th, chosen on the day of Valentine's Day, after all, this movie is originally a perfect crime about love." ”

Hearing the charter's words, Bai Yi couldn't help but think of the time when Zhang Qi asked him for the film adaptation rights of "The Devotion of Suspect X", and at that time Zhang Qi complained that the charter would make this story into a sensational romance.

A place like the film festival is originally a place of publicity, and many films are looking for an opportunity here, because it has nothing to do with the crew of "The Dedication of Suspect X", Bai Yi doesn't care much about whether "The Dedication of Suspect X" can win an award, but simply enjoys the movie.

And not only this "The Devotion of Suspect X" of the charter, but also some other movies.

After watching "The Dedication of Suspect X" filmed by the charter, I have to say that what Zhang Qi said at the beginning has some truth, although this version of the charter is also a suspenseful route, and the details are handled very well, but the final mystery is still a little too sensational.

It would have been better if we had treated it with a calmer attitude.

Of course, this is just Bai Yi's personal opinion, in fact, Bai Yi also thinks it is good for the "Dedication of Suspect X" filmed by the charter, and the audience on the online film festival forum also gave a high evaluation, with a positive score of 8.0.

Especially in the movie, the stone god played by Chen Ming is very expressive, that is, a man who looks very ordinary and his appearance is not good, but it is unforgettable, which makes many viewers sigh at his acting skills.

"The rigorous production is very impressive, the narrative is smooth, and the characters are very bold. The actors' calmer way of acting is very good, and the contradictions and entanglements between the three characters are very good. ”

"The Devotion of Suspect X completely brings out the texture of the original book and the movie, and the character's personality is displayed through the charm of the actors. After the film was screened at the Busan International Film Festival, the audience continued to give praise, thinking that it was a good movie with a different atmosphere and excitement from the original. The film interprets the novel from a new perspective and leaves a deep impression. ”

……

There are a lot of comments like this, and of course there are some sharp and mean low scores, pointing to the fact that the second half of the charter film is obviously not handled well enough and is too deliberately sensational.

In any case, this mystery romance movie was a great success at the Pearl Film Festival, and it can be said that "The Devotion of Suspect X" is a strong contender for the final award at this year's Pearl International Film Festival.

However, this strong contender is not so impressive in Zhang Qi's mouth.

Bai Yi didn't expect Zhang Qi to also be at the Pearl International Film Festival, but unlike the charter, he came to participate in the competition, and Zhang Qi was one of the judges.

"I said before that he was still too deliberate, and the shock of the mystery revealed later was all turned into love, but in my opinion, it was not just love, there was no calmness in front. ”

Listening to Zhang Qi's evaluation, Bai Yi didn't say anything, but asked, "Aunt Zhang, when will "The Sixth Sense" be released?"

"Come on, rest assured, this movie will definitely shock everyone by then. ”

mentioned her movie "The Sixth Sense", Zhang Qi's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness, she was very confident in her movie "The Sixth Sense", and she was also very confident in Bai Yi's performance.

Looking at Zhang Qi's confident look, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile.

He knew that Zhang Qi was planning to take this "Sixth Sense" to Venice to win the award, but no one could be sure whether he could win the award in the end.

Just like the "Dedication of Suspect X" directed by this charter, although it is said that it has been well received, the final result is somewhat unsatisfactory, except for Chen Ming who won the important award of Best Actor and Best Actor, "The Dedication of Suspect X" only won one Best Cinematography Award.

As for the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Picture Award, both of them missed, which surprised many filmmakers.

But this is the festival, and you will never know who will win the award until the last minute.

In Venice in September, that was when the results of the movie "The Sixth Sense" were revealed.
