Chapter 203: The Soul of Hanmin
"The times are developing, and we can't drown with the ideas of the past!"
Although Liu Weiyi is not clear about the general trend of the future, he can clearly understand the current situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoToday, if the Dragon Country Film Festival wants to regain its transcendent status in the world, then it is time to move.
In the past 30 years, Longguo, as the world's largest cultural and economic exporter, enjoys a high reputation in the world. Ten years ago, Europe and the United States united to prepare for nearly half a century to build Hollywood was born, squeezing the Dragon Film Festival aside, at this time, some people of insight saw the disadvantages of this model, but the foundation left over for decades is not so easy to correct, this decade, after years of negotiations, although it has not shaken its foundation, but these years are not nothing has been done, at least the current young Zhuang faction has begun to enter the high-level, and the words that come out are no longer as unpopular as in the past.
"Have you ever wondered why our little goldenrod has become farther and farther apart from the Academy Awards over the years?" Liu Weiyi slapped the table hard and stood up: "It's because we are too poor in supporting newcomers every year, they can't see any light, plus they don't pay enough attention to foreign culture, and over time, who will work hard for you?"
"Those who are already famous enough, even if you don't go to the award again, they won't lose their fame, and those who are not famous, if they win, ......"
"That's enough!" Liu Weiyi's words were interrupted by a middle-aged woman with glasses before he could finish his words. Her name is Jiang Shushu, and she is the largest shareholder behind the Dragon Country Film Festival, and when she didn't say anything above, this is basically equivalent to her Yiyantang, and she is also one of the leaders of the Shaozhuang faction.
"This time we are on business!" Jiang Shushu looked around, and when he saw that no one was speaking, he said calmly: "According to the regulations of the film festival, no more than ten nominations for a work and no more than five awards for awards.
The old man in the white Tang suit jumped out again, "I don't agree. β
He is the second largest shareholder of the film festival, and after he joins forces with other shareholders, his strength is slightly stronger than Jiang Shushu, but not too much, so most of the time, he will not change Jiang Shushu's decision at will. But this time it was different, if she did what she said, then the decades of tradition would be completely ruined.
"If there is no precipitation, just allow the actor to be the queen of the movie, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible!" He stood up excitedly and slapped the table while roaring: "Who of you can guarantee that what he does next is worthy of this title?"
This old man's name is He Zhongcai, and unlike some peacekeeper moths, he is the one who really thinks about this award. In his opinion, there are two kinds of geniuses in this world: hard work and no hard work, if it is the former, he doesn't mind giving out the award, but what if it is the latter?
He doesn't know, so he simply doesn't distinguish it, what you do is good, I admit it, then give you a small prize to comfort you, one to express the recognition of our organizing committee, and the other is to tell the winners to make persistent efforts, isn't this a perfect plan, if you give too high a score as soon as you come up, in his opinion, it is no different from killing.
And the dispute between He Zhongcai and Liu Weiyi is purely conceptual and does not involve any personal feelings, and it is precisely because of this that neither side can handle anyone, and they can only talk here endlessly every day.
But this year is different from previous years.
In previous years, when the Qin family participated in the election, the selection was still very easy, their works basically did not need to be reviewed, and they would be guaranteed to get a nomination, and it was impossible to win the award, after all, the Qin family had an animation appreciation master, and the script passed from him would not be bad no matter how bad it was.
But this year, the Qin family actually went to work with the Liu family to produce "Dragon Emblem", and did not prepare the work to participate in the film festival, which is also an important reason for the organizing committee's difficulties.
The animated film circle of the Dragon Kingdom is not large, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down, so when many animated films are not finished, some well-informed industry insiders have their own evaluations of this work. Of the five nominations every year, the Qin family must keep one, so it is equivalent to one less, if there are enough four this year, then other people with award-winning strength will delay the release for a year, and by the way, polish the work again. But this year, something suddenly went haywire.
Originally, it was a situation of 'waiting for the Qin family's works to be released after four films', but suddenly the Qin family announced that I would quit, and you should play by yourself this year!
It was in this situation that "Five Centimeters per Second" was born. Whether it is the first month's sales or audience comments, or the artistry of the work, it is considered excellent, the only drawback is that this is a newcomer's new work, which does not meet the unspoken rules of the film festival, but if it is a grade worse, the gap between the works is too obvious, which will affect the reputation of the film festival, so the main topic of this meeting is the question of "whether the deadline for the film festival is postponed".
The Dragon Country Film Festival is held from August 28th to August 31st every year, and the deadline for submissions is August 15 every year, after which there are seven days of audience selection, three days of expert commentary, three days of hall exhibition, and the last night of the hall exhibition, which is the opening ceremony of the film festival. Now, Ho has asked for a two-day reduction in audience selection so that the winner of the "Best Animated Film of the Year" award last year is eligible to run, and although the festival stipulates that no one can win the top award twice, nominations are not prohibited.
"Is it the 30-year explicit rules that matter, or the 30-year conventions that matter?"
Liu Weiyi's question goes straight to the core. Yes, it is a conventional rule that newcomers are not allowed to win the grand prize, which is usually more important than the written rule, but when the two sides conflict, as long as you are not a fool, you know that writing on paper is far more important than writing it down: "If you must do this, it may cause a crisis of confidence." β
"In the past few years, under the impact of Hollywood, we have been left and right, if this kind of scandal breaks out, then let's step down together. β
Seeing that no one refuted him, a glimmer of light flashed in Liu Weiyi's eyes, and he continued: "Don't forget, our enemy is always Oscar, and our strength should not be spent on civil war, have you forgotten the national soul of our Han people?"
"The one who offended me as a strong manβ"
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"
