As Mu Ming thought before, the awards in the second half have nothing to do with him. The director of the year was given to Lou Huohua of Tuina, and the screenwriter of the year was Diao Yinan, the director of White Sun Fireworks. At the same time, this drama also won the film of the year.

For this result, there will be arguments naturally, but it can also be said that it is in the past. After all, the daytime fireworks are also the work that won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival last year, and it is completely reasonable to win the award.

Mu Ming originally thought that after the film of the year, this commendation conference would end. Unexpectedly, Li Shaohong, the chairman of the Directors Association, and Huang Jianxin, the former chairman, came to the stage and announced that there was an additional special recognition award.

This award was given to Chen Kexin. His dear released last year was not eligible to participate in the selection of the commendation conference because the director and actor belonged to the mainland and Xiangjiang respectively, and he could not even be shortlisted.

That's how it went, after all, that's what it has always been about. But at the time of the preliminary trial, Huang Jianxin suddenly stood up and said that the regulations he had set up at the beginning were unfair to the directors of Xiangjiang and were not conducive to cultural exchanges between the two places.

Therefore, this commendation conference specially awarded this "Special Commendation Award" to Chen Kexin and dear ones. He also said that the relevant standards of the commendation conference will be revised to include more directors' works in the scope of review.

Look at our awards, how atmospheric! It's not like a certain Academy Awards that don't specifically name names, always wandering around in Hong Kong movies, no wonder the influence is getting worse and worse.

After this award, the commendation conference really ended, and then there was a behind-the-scenes interview. Somewhat unexpectedly, the most concerned in the interview stage was not Bai Ri Fireworks and Lou Huohua, who won the grand prize, but Mu Ming, who was impassioned on stage.

It is also understandable that the influence of the Directors Guild Commendation Conference is not high, and there are not many people who have won the award. On the contrary, the controversy about literary films and commercial films has been very loud during this time, coupled with Mu Ming's wave of emotion, it is naturally more topical.

"Director Mu, what do you think of Director Wang Xiaoshuai's accusation that the wolf warrior squeezed the film schedule yesterday?" A media reporter squeezed to the front of a group of people surrounding Mu Ming, and asked Mu Ming.

"It's a normal thing. For commercial reasons, cinemas will naturally pour more resources into works that can bring more benefits, which is understandable. Mu Ming deserves it.

"But didn't you just say that commercial films and literary films should be balanced?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Yes, I did say to keep a balance. But by balance, I mean a balance based on the normal volume of each individual, not a forced five-five opening. ”

Mu Ming paused for a second when she said this, organized her language, and continued: "Literary films have always been niche, and the growth rate of the audience is not obvious, but the growth rate of our film market is extremely fast. If we forcibly require the same proportion of literary films and commercial films, it will be a disaster for our film industry. ”

However, many viewers believe that the quality of commercial films in recent years has deteriorated, but because of various factors such as film scheduling, the box office is very high. Many viewers think that this is a consumption of the credibility of domestic films, why can't they be replaced with more high-quality literary films?" another reporter asked.

"The problem is a change of concept, and it is the low quality rather than the commercial film that disappoints the audience. It is true that in the past two years, there have been many bad movies that have won high box office, but this is an inevitable problem in the growth process of the industry. In fact, there is no need to worry, with the improvement of the audience's aesthetic standards, there will naturally be no market for low-quality films. ”

It's like reading a book for a long time, and you will gradually feel that there is no book to read. When the audience has been deceived by low-quality films a few times, they will naturally have the ability to distinguish.

The most recent example, the big movie Where Are You Going, Dad, which was released last year, took seven or eight billion at the box office, and at the beginning of this year, Dad 2, who tried to repeat his old tricks, only had a box office of more than 300 million. This shows that half of the audience has woken up.

It's really a simple market choice. The audience will stop watching bad movies, and movie-related practitioners will naturally start to think about how to improve the quality of the film.

After all, movies are not houses, and no mother-in-law will force her son-in-law to have a movie ticket in his hand before he gets married.

"As for using literary films instead of commercial films, heh!" Mu Ming pursed the corners of her lips and snorted: "I remember that in addition to the commendation conference today, it was also the premiere of the Hollywood blockbuster Fast and Furious 7." You can look at the box office statistics tomorrow, and then let's talk about whether we can replace commercial films with literary films. ”

A group of reporters looked at each other, and they naturally knew about it. It was released in North America a week ago, and the midnight show grossed a whopping $15.7 million. The box office in the opening weekend was as high as 12.5 billion, and it also had a record of 60 million US dollars in the 12 overseas countries that were released simultaneously.

Today is the first day of premiere in the mainland market, although there are no detailed results yet, but just looking at the popularity on the Internet, you can also know how big the impact this film will bring to the mainland film market.

"That'...... Director Mu, do you mean that literary and artistic movies can only lose money?"

"Of course not, in fact, in the current market, as long as the quality of a film is sufficient, there is no possibility of losing money. In addition to the theater box office, most of the TV copyrights, network copyrights, overseas copyrights, etc., can be earned. Literary and artistic films can naturally pursue the box office, but they can't blame the audience and the market for this. ”

"But in this case, won't the number of directors who shoot literary films slowly decrease?"

"Of course not, because in the long run, literary films are the classics of cinema. And judging from the facts, on the contrary, many directors of commercial films will start to try literary films after a few works. For example, the latest work I just finished filming is a serious drama film. ”

"Wow"

The eyes of the surrounding reporters flickered in unison, and then they became noisy for a moment. Unexpectedly, seeing that the interview was almost over, there was still a big news.

In fact, when Mu Ming turned on before, there were already a lot of news about it. It's just that Mizuki didn't have any news except for announcing a project approval form, so many people slowly forgot about it. The other is that I didn't expect it to end so soon.

"Director Mu, are you going to transform into a literary film?"

"Director Mu, when will your new film be released?"

"Director Mu, may I ask ...... you?"

In an instant, a tidal wave of questions came flooding over, and it was clear that everyone was very concerned about the news.

Take your time. ”

Mu Ming waved her hand, waited for everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "First of all, I have no plans to transform at present, I am still a commercial film director. The reason why I made a literary drama film is just an attempt. ”

Mu Ming's purpose in photographing the room is very clear, and she went for the award. After all, in the film and television industry in the mainland, or no matter what the circle, seniority is a very important factor in determining status and discourse. And the qualifications of the film and television industry depend on time and awards.

"As for the release time, it has not yet been determined. However, I will be bringing my new film to the Cannes Film Festival next month for the main competition. So if it's released, it's going to be after the Cannes Film Festival. ”
