Spring is coming, and Lin Xiaoling's "The Two of Us" is on again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with last year's rustiness, Xu Jinglei now has a feeling of integration, not only into the story, but also into Lin Zixuan's life, she and Mu Shanshan are familiar with each other.

In the film, she rented a house in a courtyard house, and she did the decoration of this house by herself.

Roughly the same environment as her at home, the crew's funds were limited, and it was impossible to spend so much money on props, so she brought some of her own items from home to decorate.

Because of this, she felt so close that it was as if she were really living here.

This emotion helped her play in the film, and her cooperation with Jin Yaqin became more and more tacit, and she was praised by Zheng Dongtian.

Zheng Dongtian is the producer and art director of this low-budget film, "The Two of Us" belongs to the investment of the Beijing Youth Film Studio, the script has passed the review of the General Administration, obtained the shooting permit, and is a regular film.

Zheng Dongtian has rich experience in directing and teaching, and has given detailed guidance to Lin Xiaoling.

Now Lin Xiaoling is much more calm when filming, and she has a bit of a sense of command, of course, it is also because the scene of this drama is simple, there is no big scene, it is a rivalry between two people.

Zheng Dongtian has his own arrangements for this film.

This kind of small production with a literary and artistic style generally takes the film festival route, otherwise it will be buried in many domestic films.

One of the reasons why domestic directors are keen on various film festivals is that they want to win awards and become famous.

It is also related to the current situation of the domestic film industry, which has state support for the main theme films in China, so there is no need to worry about the release and box office, even if it is a loss, there are state subsidies.

It is not easy for literary films to get ahead, especially those without big directors and big stars.

Only when such films win awards at international film festivals can they attract the attention of the media, prove their value, and the theater chain will be willing to distribute and screen them, and only then will they have a bright future.

Audiences often use winning awards as a criterion for judging whether a movie is good or bad.

If a movie wins a lot of awards, everyone feels that the quality of the film is guaranteed and is willing to go to the theater to watch it.

Take "The Two of Us" as an example, if you don't take the film festival route, which media is willing to report a low-budget film with an investment of less than 300,000 yuan, directed by a novice director, and starring unknown actors.

Therefore, it cannot be blamed that directors are keen on major film festivals, this is the current situation of the domestic film industry.

When the day comes, when the media and the audience don't take the awards so seriously, everyone will no longer seek international film festivals.

Zheng Dongtian is ready to let "The Two of Us" participate in the Tokyo International Film Festival in Japan.

Founded in 1985, the film festival is recognized by the International Federation of Film Festivals, and is a category A competition international film festival, and it is also the largest international film festival in Asia.

It is not as important as the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival, and it is mainly oriented to Asian cinema.

Some of China's filmmakers, such as Zhang Yimou, are aiming for Cannes, Berlin and Venice.

These are the three major international film festivals in Europe, and the awards of such film festivals are heavy, and they can also make films sell at a good price.

Filmmakers who are a little worse are optimistic about the Tokyo International Film Festival or the Cairo Film Festival, although the weight of the award is average, but it can still be taken out to bluff people in China.

Again, filmmakers participate in regional film festivals, such as the Toronto Film Festival in Canada, the Singapore Film Festival, etc., and there are not many people who pay attention to this kind of film festival, but they finally go abroad, and they have face when they say it.

The rest of the filmmakers can only compete for awards at domestic film festivals.

The Tokyo International Film Festival opens in late October, and every year Chinese filmmakers bring their films to the competition.

The film "The Two of Us" will be filmed this fall, and the post-production should be able to participate in the competition, so with Zheng Dongtian's prestige, it is not difficult to recommend a film to enter the competition section of the film festival.

Since it is to participate in a film festival, the quality of the film is required to reach a certain artistic level.

If it is brushed down in the first round, it will be too faceless and will not achieve the effect of promoting the movie.

Zheng Dongtian is not only a professor at the Film Academy but also the director of the Youth Film Studio, and he is very busy with his work, so it is impossible to guide the shooting scene all the time, but it still depends on Lin Xiaoling's own efforts and understanding.

He is very strict with Lin Xiaoling, and every time he finishes filming, he has to show him a piece of material, and he will give his opinion.

This is like correcting students' homework, in fact, Lin Xiaoling has not graduated yet, and she is still studying.

In between shooting, Lin Zixuan will chat with Xu Jinglei when he has free time.

Since he wants Xu Jinglei to star in the movie version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he will raise Xu Jinglei's fame in the next few years, not to mention fame in the international film industry, at least in Asia.

This requires a lot of resources.

Lin Zixuan felt that Xu Jinglei should be given a clear idea of what goals she would achieve in the next few years, and with goals and directions, she could work forward and let her know how far she could go.

Xu Jinglei will make a TV series this year, plus the movie "The Two of Us", which can accumulate a certain amount of popularity.

There are plans to shoot TV series and movies next year, first to become popular in China, and then to plot major international film festivals.

"Let's set a small goal first, such as getting the queen of a domestic film festival next year, and the queen of an international film festival the year after next, we must come step by step, and we can't be in a hurry. Lin Zixuan said earnestly.

I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little confused.

Xu Jinglei was quite speechless, I haven't finished my junior year yet, and I'm still far from graduation, isn't it too early to talk about this "small goal" now.

Not to mention international film festivals, it is a domestic film festival, how many actors can't win awards if they want to, how can they come to you like child's play, you can take it if you want.

But think about Ge You and Xia Yu, these two are the best actors at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival respectively, and their award-winning films are all related to Lin Zixuan, not to mention those actors who became popular under Lin Zixuan.

Awards really don't seem to be a matter for Lin Zixuan.

Xu Jinglei felt that what Lin Zixuan said was reasonable, but she was speechless.

Just thinking about the "small goal" set by Lin Zixuan, she is still a little in a trance, the actress of the international film festival is a very high honor for an actor, and she will only be twenty-three years old two years later, is this possible?

She couldn't help but think of a senior in the film industry, that is, the international movie star Gong Li, Gong Li won the Venice actress in ninety-two years, when Gong Li was twenty-seven years old.

Gong Li's success is inseparable from Zhang Yimou, and the story between them has become a legend in the film industry.

And what about yourself?

Xu Jinglei looked at Lin Zixuan in front of her, feeling very close and far away from him. (To be continued.) )
