Chapter 677: The Raptors Cross the River

The judges of the World Science Fiction Film Festival are gathering to select the final four films, which will compete for the top prize alongside the eight previously announced films. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Colin Cecil, as the president of the jury, looked at the judges in front of him and said, "We've received a lot of different films lately, including 28 sci-fi features and 31 sci-fi shorts, guys, which one do you think will be shortlisted?"

"I just saw a very famous movie today that is based on a science fiction novel called 'The Matrix', and maybe it has the potential to win an award. Harriman Pides said, dancing with his hands, "You would never have imagined how wonderful this movie is, I dare say it will be more than you expected!"

Charlie, another judge, pressed down with his hand and said, "Take it easy, fame doesn't mean the movie must be exciting." I know this writer, a lot of his works have been adapted into science fiction movies, and now he is shooting himself, I don't know what it will be like. ”

"I've seen his last film, and honestly, when I saw the last easter egg, I was already completely convinced that there was a person who was immortal and alive right next to us. This time, he challenged the film on a large scale, hoping to bring surprises. ”

Park Jinqi, the only Asian on the jury, said slowly in a language full of Korean accent: "Maybe we can watch this movie first, I heard that this film has the opposite evaluation of Harriman, a layman actually came to make a science fiction film." ”

"Park, we are the judges of the festival, and we have to be fair and impartial. You can only make up your mind if you have seen the movie yourself. Colin reminded that he felt that the festival needed such a controversial blockbuster, otherwise there would be no news.

"Sorry, it's my fault. I still have reservations, though. Park Jinqi originally didn't want to make this movie shortlisted, but unfortunately he was weak on the side of the jury alone, and he couldn't influence the decision, so he could only give his own opinion.

Colin clapped his hands, he picked up the disc of "The Matrix" and began to show it, "Let's take a look at this work first, gentlemen, today's task is quite heavy. ”

With six judges and a president of the jury, Colin Cecil doesn't want the festival's reputation to be tarnished for decades, he comes from Hollywood, has participated in the production of many hit films, and his sci-fi films have won Saturn Awards and Oscar nominations, and he has a wealth of qualifications.

Lin Han's work is going to be exhibited, he raised his hands in favor, and in the absence of Hollywood big-budget movies, this "The Matrix" will obviously be the focus of media attention!

As a jury member of a film festival, watching a film is a must, and they have to select the best works from so many films to be on the list of nominees.

When the film festival officially starts, they will watch and discuss it repeatedly.

Different countries, different cultural backgrounds, and professional differences, everyone has different ideas, but in the final analysis, the judging criterion is the movie itself!

Basically, at the end of the judging of each film, the criterion is to find a work that is conducive to the development of the film, or on the basis of the high quality of the film and the artistic power to move people, the jury tends to favor some works that look good visually.

……

Eight hours later, the World Science Fiction Film Festival, which had not attracted much attention, was the focus of attention, and it used to be a paradise for science fiction lovers and a gathering place for industry insiders.

Now that the top media are gathered together, they are waiting for Colin to announce the final list of nominees, and they want to know what the boiling war between China and South Korea is going to be, and whether there are any Chinese science fiction movies shortlisted!

The news that Galaxy Pictures sent "The Matrix" to the competition did not deliberately spread, and the whole company had the same idea, anyway, after the nominations were announced, everyone would know, and there was no need to notify others.

Now CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, Interfax, German Presse, Japan's Kyodo News Agency, as well as South Korea's own Dong-A Daily, Malaysia's Gwanghwa Daily, Japan's Fuji TV, Singapore's Straits Times and other more than 60 media gathered in Seoul, although the scale is not as big as Cannes and other old film festivals, but it is definitely more powerful than some pheasant awards.

The press conference did not last long, and the chairman of the jury, Colin, came to the stage with a piece of paper and sat down, and he said into a microphone: "I have never seen so many media reporters, you make me a little scared, in order to avoid wasting time, I should quickly say the list." The last four nominees for this year's festival are "The Matrix" directed by Lin Han, "Rainbow Bridge" directed by Jiang Teng Jiansheng, "Phantom of Barcelona" by Spanish director Ralph Queque, and "Deadly Metro" by French director Gibson Rossini. ”

The reporters were overjoyed that there was indeed "The Matrix"!

That's what they're here for!

"These four excellent works will be presented to you at the official opening of the film festival, each of which is a leader, and we sincerely invite all journalists to attend the opening ceremony, the opening film is "Monster of the Han River". ”

There was nothing wrong with the host film's opening film, but the reporters didn't want to know about the film at all, and they raised their hands and started asking questions in English.

"Mr. Cecil, may I ask when did The Matrix participate?"

"Can you briefly talk about Lin Han's movie?"

"What kind of film is 'The Matrix', and is it not as far as a novel?"

"It is said that Lin Han didn't want to participate in the competition, but later participated because of public opinion, Mr. Cecil, do you think this movie has any hope of winning awards?"

Colin Cecil, a traditional gentleman, took out the handkerchief in his suit pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said simply: "The Matrix is as good as the rest of the films, and any film on the nominee list has the possibility of winning an award." There's only so much I can say, thank you!"

The chairman did not reveal the results of the film, remaining as neutral as possible, but today's news is already there.

……

Xinlang Entertainment: "According to foreign media reports, the sci-fi film "The Matrix" written and directed by Lin Han was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the World Science Fiction Film Festival and will participate in the competition for the Lighthouse Award. This is the first Chinese film to be shortlisted for this award, and foreign media are very optimistic about it. ”

Xinhua News Agency: "At 2:30 p.m. in Seoul, South Korea, the chairman of the jury of the World Science Fiction Film Festival announced the last four shortlisted films. The film festival will officially open tomorrow, please pay attention to the special report of Xinhuanet for specific news!"

Phoenix Entertainment: "At the last moment, Lin Han and "The Matrix" were shortlisted, and the sci-fi battle between China and South Korea is about to be revealed. Our reporters have gone to Seoul to bring the fastest and most authentic front-line reports!"

With Lin Han and "The Matrix", the big killer, and it also involves both China and South Korea, netizens are the most concerned, so the media have also killed Seoul.

Fortunately, South Korea is not far away, there are more flights, and those with passports and visas can fly directly over, and these reporters are still wondering if they can meet Lin Han on the plane or at the airport!

For these news reports, netizens are very supportive, they have been waiting for Lin Han's reply, but they didn't expect people to express themselves quietly and directly with actions!

No matter how well you say it, it's better to do it directly, so when the list of nominees was announced, netizens immediately began to praise Lin Han!

According to the publicity plan, there was no need to participate in this film festival, but Mr. Lin silently sent the film to the competition, hoping to make the Korean sticks wake up and stop daydreaming. ”

"I suddenly started to envy the sticks in Seoul today, why did they see 'The Matrix' at the film festival first!"

"Wow Ka Ka, I just went to Korea for a trip the day after tomorrow, and I must go to the film festival to support Mr. Lin!"

"It's been two years since the establishment of the Hallym Academy Seoul Branch, and now it's time for us to show our talents!"

"Friends in South Korea, remember to share a little information with us, and come back after reading it and say if it's good. ”

"Teacher Lin, is this considered a critical order? Then Cui Yongjun has finally shut up now, he must not be able to find the black spot after seeing the quality of the movie. ”

"Kuroko should go to play basketball, what kind of net, what kind of keyboard warrior to be!"

"What does upstairs mean, I don't understand this stalk. ”

"There is a Japanese anime called Kuroko's basketball ......"

"Come on, Mr. Lin, no matter what the final result is, we are your strong backing!"

"Friendly reminder, there are a lot of tricks in Korean sticks, so don't be fooled by Mr. Lin. ”

So many people were cheering for Lin Han, they were eager to see Lin Han return victorious, and they wanted to see those people like Cui Yongjun speechless.

Lin Han brought them hope, which also made the pressure on Lin Han and his party a lot heavier.

In case the movie doesn't win the award, but is won by those two Korean movies, then it is estimated that he will become an Internet sinner, and the position of netizens is sometimes so unfirm, simply judging heroes by success or failure!

If he succeeds, Lin Han will be a national hero, and if he fails, Lin Han will be a historical sinner.

"Don't think about it that much. The quality of "The Matrix" is over there, it has to have connotation, it has to have visual effects, and besides, we spent close to 200 million yuan to make this movie, which of the other movies has such a big investment?"

Miao Hong sat on the plane and talked to Lin Han, he didn't want Lin Han to be under so much pressure.

Lin Han turned his head to look at the sea outside the window, and he said with a smile: "Are we a river crossing raptor or a sea crossing raptor?"

"Majestic and high-spirited, across the Yalu River. After crossing the Yalu River, you are facing the Xian Peninsula, so it is right to say that you are a raptor crossing the river!"
