Chapter 417: Women's Films

Lin Zixuan doesn't care much about media reports, this is the attitude of insiders and outsiders towards the award ceremony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For insiders, the matter is over after the awards, so what should everyone do.

Outsiders will keep tossing around this matter, which has no practical meaning, just to entertain everyone.

Those who have filmed have left, and those who have not filmed have stayed, and it will be the 3rd Shanghai International Film Festival in a few days.

In China, this is a large-scale international film festival, and it is good to be able to show your face.

Feng Xiaogang received an invitation from the organizing committee of the film festival and wanted to shortlist the film "A Sigh", although he is not a first-line director in China, he is very well-known.

Feng Xiaogang finally refused, because "A Sigh" was going to participate in the Cairo International Film Festival in Egypt.

One of the conditions for participating in the Cairo Film Festival is that it cannot be screened at other film festivals, and must premiere in Cairo.

Lin Zixuan contacted the Organizing Committee of the Shanghai International Film Festival and sent "Spring in a Small Town" to the competition.

The organizing committee wanted to use "Spring in a Small Town" and Yu Feihong to enhance the popularity of the film festival, while Lin Zixuan had the mentality of winning the award if he could, and everyone hit it off.

"Spring in a Small Town" will be screened at the film festival, which is the first time the film has been screened in China.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan walked on the streets of Shanghai, they were no strangers to the city, and they had traveled to the city when they first got married.

Taking advantage of the free time of these few days, the two walked casually.

Not far away is the tallest building in China, more than 400 meters, topped out two months ago, towering on the banks of the Huangpu River, and will be the landmark of Shanghai City in the future.

The city is growing faster than people think.

"In the past, when we were in New York, we were envious that New York was full of high-rise buildings, but now it is no worse than New York. Lin Zixuan said with emotion.

"In the past few years, the development has been too fast, and there are more and more problems, so I think it's better to slow down and be safe. Mu Shanshan responded.

Mu Shanshan's "Shanshan Interview" is mainly based on people's livelihood interviews, and has an understanding of the current situation in China.

On the one hand, the rapid development of the economy, and the rapid development of large cities like Shanghai, reflect the achievements of reform and opening up.

On the other hand, there are more and more laid-off workers and workers, and contradictions are constantly continuing, which has become a serious social problem, and undesirable phenomena in society are increasing day by day, and the building of spiritual civilization has not kept up.

According to the newspapers, this is in the throes of reform.

They came to relax, and the topic stopped, and the two found a shop in Wujiang Road Snack Street, tasted authentic Shanghai food, and chatted casually.

"How's Xiaoling's script, can I apply to shoot in prison?" asked Mu Shanshan.

"It's not easy, it depends on whether the General Administration is willing to help, there is no film in China that can be filmed in prison, and if it can really be filmed, it will be considered a precedent. Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.

There is a problem with Lin Xiaoling's "Coming Home", if it adopts a documentary style, it is best to shoot it in prison.

At present, the policy of domestic prisons has not been relaxed to the point of allowing the crew to go to prison to make movies, especially women's prisons, which are quite strict in censorship, and want to shoot real pictures of the lives of prisoners in prisons, unless it is ordered by a superior leader.

The prisons that appear in domestic movies are often done in police stations or police stations.

Or simply filmed in a film and television base, and did not go to prison to shoot, not that the application is troublesome, but that the application will not be approved.

Lin Zixuan wanted to write the script first, submit it to the above for a look, and then apply to go to prison for filming.

If it really doesn't work, I can only think of other ways, but that will weaken the documentary style of the film and make the audience feel unreal.

"I support Xiaoling, and after reading her book, I think we don't care too much about the disadvantaged. Mu Shanshan said with concern, "Think about it, a prisoner who has been in prison for more than ten years, after she comes out, she doesn't even have basic living guarantees, it is estimated that she will not get on the bus to buy a ticket, nor will she make phone calls, everything has to start from scratch, just like a child." ”

"What do you want to do? Do a program and interview a prisoner who has just been released from prison?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.

"Let's try it, I haven't figured out how to reflect this situation, whether it's an interview or a documentary. Mu Shanshan said uncertainly.

"Then you discuss it with Xiaoling, she also has to collect information, and she should come in the next two days. Lin Zixuan suggested.

Lin Xiaoling also wants to come to Shanghai to participate in the Shanghai International Film Festival.

This year's film festival has a special topic, called "Discussion on the Works of Chinese Women Directors", which will focus on screening a number of films by female directors during the festival, including directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Lin Xiaoling's "The Two of Us" is among them.

Whether it is Hong Kong, Taiwan or the mainland, female directors are a minority, and most of the themes of their films reflect women's consciousness.

Lin Xiaoling is only a small character, because "The Two of Us" won the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival and was recognized by industry experts, so she is qualified to participate in this topic.

This seminar focused on the development of women's cinema.

In China, women's films are usually divided into three categories, films with female themes or themes, feminist films and films created by female directors.

It can be seen from this that women's films belong to the niche of niches.

"Xiaoling is becoming more and more like a director, and she used to be a crazy girl. Mu Shanshan said with a smile.

"We didn't all come over like this, you hosted the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and couldn't sleep nervously, and this time the awards ceremony passed easily. Lin Zixuan teased.

After this year's Golden Oriole Award, Mu Shanshan's hosting was well received, and the media generally commented that it was calm and atmospheric.

For Mu Shanshan now, there is no problem in controlling the situation on the stage.

The Shanghai International Film Festival did not invite Mu Shanshan to host, but invited a local host in Shanghai who is proficient in foreign languages to host, after all, this is a film festival organized by the Shanghai city government, and they prefer to use their own people.

After a day of wandering the streets, the two returned to the hotel.

In the face of questions from the media, the Organizing Committee of the Golden Oriole Award issued a statement that the selection was fair and just, and there was no problem.

This is quite an official statement, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, but in fact, even if there is no explanation, it will not set off much storm.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is about to open, and the media has been tossing for two days before targeting the film festival.

They questioned that the Golden Oriole Award was more about catering to the needs of readers, who like to watch news with insiders, but the news is time-sensitive, and if you report it every day, readers will get bored.

So, finding a new goal is the best option. (To be continued.) )
