In fact, there are now hundreds of youth film festivals in China, of course, many of them are in order to promote the local tourism ability, and the official color is very strong, such as the 'X Micro Film Festival' and the like.

But there are also those who are just to promote the film and promote the director, such as the Xining First Youth Film Festival.

To be honest, in today's impetuous commercial environment, it is really rare to have such a film festival in China!

Pay attention to those independent film debuts and young filmmakers, give many fans and young filmmakers a reliable platform to show their talents, realize their dreams, and at the same time prove to the world that Chinese films are also great.

The Xining Youth Film Festival has established good relations with the Tokyo and Busan International Film Festivals, including the Turin Film Festival in Italy, but unfortunately, in recent years, except for "Farewell", which has been favored, few films have been able to go out.

After all, it's a small-budget directorial debut!

Of course, with the rising influence of the Xining Youth Film Festival and Chinese films, sooner or later it will become China's Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival is the world's premier independent film festival because it is backed by Hollywood!

In today's increasingly international film industry, due to the differences in industry environment and culture, many people have some prejudice against Chinese films.

This prejudice itself does have some truth, and domestic films, whether commercial or literary films, are more or less different from Hollywood works.

Even if billions of box office swept the market, breaking the record of the global commercial film market.

In fact, many independent films in China are unique and focus on the deep essence of human nature, whether it is from the work itself, the director's professional background, or the shooting technology, they are very attentive and stylish, and the standard is excellent.

"Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang", "A Spoon" and "Heart Labyrinth" are all high-quality masterpieces of domestic independent films, and have been recognized and praised by many professional filmmakers and fans in the circle.

But in the eyes of the general audience, it is difficult for such a movie to gain market recognition, and it is true, except for "Heart Labyrinth" in Shen Lin's blessing, the other two films have lost money.

Many literary began to complain that 'our country's literary films are not good' or make a bunch of sayings 'why literary films are not recognized by the market'

In fact, with the gradual increase in the box office of domestic films, the box office of literary films has risen year by year, and the box office of literary films in 2015 has increased nearly three times compared with 2014!

The best films selected by the Xining Film Festival in recent years, whether it is "Heart Labyrinth", "What's in the Black Place" and "Farewell", have all been successful at the box office - recovering costs.

So, don't say any movie audience garbage, most of the audience still has the ability to choose!

Shen Linlai came to participate in this Xining Youth Film Festival because he wanted to choose a few works that could be seen and sign a few good young directors, after all, the studio still needs fresh blood to add.

……

The Xining Film Festival is built according to the route of the Golden Horse.

There is a film festival and a main competition.

It's a pity that for various reasons, film exhibitions, film festivals, and film awards have become a chicken rib here in China.

As far as Chinese movies are concerned, HK movies are dead, and Taiwan Bend movies are basically almost dead, the only thing to be thankful for is that Taiwan Bend still has a Golden Horse Award.

Regardless of whether the Golden Horse is a local award in the township, it can more or less represent the highest achievement of Chinese films!

Due to time constraints, the Xining Film Festival has a very tight schedule, and it is difficult for people to have the opportunity to participate in other projects – and this refers to volunteers.

There is no official support for this thing, and it can't be said that there is no official support, but the strength is not too big, after all, the first place now is economic development, and everything else is false!

Therefore, many of the films that participated in the selection and selection were screened out by volunteers before they were handed over to the judges.

Otherwise, 1307 films, when do you let these judges see?

Come on, everyone's busy, okay!

About 50 films were preliminarily selected, and then the judges watched them, and after watching them, about 10 films were selected to enter the main competition unit.

Since the beginning of the previous year, as the most practical part of the FIRST Film Festival for young filmmakers, Hehe Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, Noon Sunshine, Oneness Pictures, including Zhao Liying Studio, have all joined in helping these films move towards theaters as soon as possible!

In other words, these works participating in the film festival are all released films that have not won the dragon standard!

If you want to make money from Chinese films, the most basic thing is that you have to be able to release it, and if you want to release it, you have to have a public screening license from the Film Bureau, which is the legendary dragon mark.

……

Wang Jiawei is definitely not handsome, this is the consensus.

is almost 1.9 meters tall, expressionless, wearing big sunglasses, and always feels like a big guy than a director.

However, he has one good thing, this guy can speak Mandarin and is very fluent, but he speaks very slowly.

Seeing Shen Lin, Wang Jiawei reached out very politely, and the two shook hands.

"Let me introduce you. ”

Wang Jiawei is the chairman of the jury, which is also his obligation.

To be honest, Shen Lin was not familiar with several of the judges, except for Tang Wei.

These people are all rooted in literary films, and most of them are from the Taiwan side.

Shen Lin is okay, his status is there, and he is still the biggest patron of the Xining Youth Film Festival, no matter how unhappy these people look at him, they don't dare to say anything in person.

But there will be more or less embarrassment - Shen Lin is one of the very few representatives in the circle who are very disgusted with the filmmakers of Taiwan and HK!

It's hard to do that, unless you're a completely autonomous independent filmmaker.

Guo Xiaosi and Han Shao's movies, including Zhao Junqi's movies, basically find Taiwan actors as the protagonists, is it really just because their image is suitable?

Even Brother Chen Kai had to find Zhao Youting to be the actor when filming "Search", if there was no game behind the capital, who would believe it?

Why do our military flag comrades support Dai Liren, in addition to her brain axis, the main reason is probably because most of her behind-the-scenes team is Taiben people.

Next, the assistant of the king of sunglasses sent everyone a stack of paper, and what was written on the paper was the schedule for the next ten days.

The process from the afternoon until the closing day of the festival.

It's about watching a movie, attending an event, or attending a press conference.

During the festival, not only are there screenings, but there are also countless dinners and seminars, all of which require the presence of the jury.

Shen Lin is the biggest card in this, so he has to contribute a little more.
