Chapter 311: College Student Film Festival
Zhang Tan did not attend the Forbes Charity Awards ceremony on April 18 and was busy with his own affairs, but on April 22, after not showing up for a long time, he had to change into decent clothes and go out on the catwalk.
Today is the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the 15th Beijia University Student Film Festival, which was held at the Chinese Theater and broadcast live by the movie channel, Beijia Satellite TV and other TV stations.
Many cities in China have held college student film festivals, but the most influential is only the Beijing University Student Film Festival, which is a large-scale cultural event jointly sponsored by dozens of official and semi-official units such as Beijing Normal University, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Film Channel.
It is the first film festival in China every year, although the level of the film festival does not reach the international A-level standard, but in China, the authority of the Beiqi University Student Film Festival is not much worse than the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao and other awards, and is generally recognized by people in the film industry.
The main purpose of the film festival is to be run by college students, watched by college students, and evaluated by college students.
In April and May every year, film screenings will be held in major colleges and universities in Beiqi, which will last for nearly a month. Finally, the expert judges and college student judges jointly selected the awards, of which the number of expert judges accounted for 1/4 and the college student judges accounted for 3/4, which would be relatively fair.
Zhang Tan, who pursues a high standard, has a high pursuit of awards, and when he wrote novels, he couldn't get on the mainstream literary stage, and he did nothing for awards for four or five years.
Now that he is a director making a movie, he naturally has to attack the award.
Forget about some unknown awards, but Zhang Tan wants to win all mainstream film awards. It's not just an endorsement of his films. It is also a recognition of his film team.
Prior to the awards, "Crazy Stone" was among the 36 films shortlisted. He was nominated for seven awards: Best Film, Best Director, Jury Award, Best Actor (Guo Shuishou), Best Newcomer (Fu Cheng), Best Debut Film, and Comedy Creation at this year's College Student Film Festival.
In addition, there is a presumably stable award. It is the most popular actor, actress, and director voted by college students online. Among them, the most popular director, Zhang Tan's votes and the second-place Feng Dacang's votes, a difference of 4,000 votes. Zhang Tan had more than 11,000 votes, Feng Dacang had 7,000 votes, and the latter directors had no more than 1,000 votes.
It's just that according to an unwritten convention, the director who wins the best director can no longer win the most popular director.
With the box office, word-of-mouth and awesomeness of "Crazy Stone", the best director is very likely, even if the best director fails. The most popular director should be eight or nine without leaving ten, and the probability of choosing one of the two. Of course, what Zhang Tan wants most is the best director, and the most popular director is usually a consolation prize for not winning the best director.
"If you want to say who is most likely to win this year's best director, Feng Dacang and you have the biggest advantage." The king will sit in a chair and light a cigarette between his fingers.
Zhang Tan asked, "Who do you think the jury will give to?" ”
The royal lord avoided with a smile and said: "I don't know, it doesn't matter who I give it to anyway, Feng Cannon is our collaborator, and you are also our collaborator." Whoever wins the award for the two of you is a victory for Huayi Brothers. But my opinion, probably the best director and the best picture, the two of you should be able to have one each. ”
Last year 2007. "Crazy Stone" became the fifth film to break 202 million yuan with 202.4 million yuan, and then soon after the Chinese New Year, the mainland Xiangxiang co-production "The Case of the Stabbing Horse" hit 202 million yuan. is only two million worse than the stone box office, and Feng Cannon's "Charge" is more fierce. directly rushed to the box office of 250 million.
So counting the Hollywood blockbuster "Turning into an Autobot", four films broke 200 million were born in the Chinese film market in 2007.
Among them, "Crazy Stone" has a good reputation and box office. The reputation of "Stormtrooper" is not bad, and it is a good opponent.
"It makes sense, the golden mean, finding a balance is one of China's characteristics, foreign awards will be hidden, and there is basically not much discipline in China...... Feng Cannon's "Charge" is very good, he and I can win the award, but except for the two of me, whoever takes me will not give face. ”
Zhang Tan was very disdainful of domestic awards, but he was not too angry.
There is nothing absolutely fair in the world, the Academy Awards in the United States is the most influential film award in the world, but there are not many controversies every year.
There is no such thing as art, there is no absolute standard to measure.
The Beiqi College Student Film Festival is more fair than the Golden Rooster Award, after all, there are 3/4 of the college student judges. Even so, of course, there is still a lot of room to maneuver. Anyway, Zhang Tan is just taking awards to brush up on the grid, don't stop him from winning the award, everything is easy to say.
The king will smile and say: "Your face will definitely be given by the organizing committee, although you are a director for the first time, you can't be regarded as a newcomer, you are more famous than anyone else in the circle, and Feng Dacang may not be as good as you." They probably would rather offend Feng Dacang than offend you. ”
Zhang Tan shook his head and smiled: "I just have more fans, Feng Dacang is too popular, in fact, he is quite marginalized, and he may kill Cheng Biting Jin halfway and intercept Hu." ”
"Can't be intercepted, if the film festival wants attention and influence, you two have to hold it. It's not the old guys who eat old food and carry private goods everywhere at the Golden Rooster Awards as judges, and they are very stable. ”
"I hope so." Zhang Tan has always disliked to talk big, and before he won the award, he didn't want to talk more about the award.
As he spoke, more and more invited guests entered the backstage of the red carpet, and the stars of the congregation will set off from here to step on the red carpet and accept the cheers of the college students around the red carpet.
"Director Tan, there is a chance to work together."
"Hmm."
As the most popular young director of the audience, there are many stars who come to greet Zhang Tan, and many stars Zhang Tan can't name at all, whether they know or not, they all come to say hello.
Zhang Tan's reaction was relatively cold, just nodded, and did not have a further talk about these unknown stars, only Guo Shuishou, Liu Muhua, Fu Cheng, Xu Shanzheng and others who were filming together came, and he greeted them with a smile. There are also stars who met early such as Zhou Taiping, Liu Anfeng, and Huang Daliang, who also greeted each other with a smile.
Liu Anfeng came to be the guest of honor, and after saying hello, he held hands with Susa and talked about the topic between girls.
It is said that women are also strange animals, Susa is very hostile to Liu Anfeng, and Liu Anfeng is not interested in Susa, but after the two girls meet, they can talk and laugh.
I have to say that they are all powerful acting schools.
……
At half past five, the red carpet catwalk began.
An hour-long red carpet trip, the crew of "Crazy Stone" was scheduled for the final time of the finale.
When Zhang Tan took Susa's hand and walked on the red carpet with the main creator of the stone team, he was immediately greeted with huge cheers from the college fans on both sides of the red carpet.
"Detective!"
"Brother Dao!"
"Blackskin!"
The huge cheers, Zhang Tan is not enjoying it for the first time, every time he hears it, he still feels the blood boiling from his heart. made him deeply realize that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
In the cheers, everyone walked to the poster wall at the entrance of the theater, and the previous pair of red carpet stars were still reluctant to leave in front of the posters, posing in various poses for reporters to shoot. However, when Zhang Tan and the others arrived, all the reporters immediately focused their cameras on Zhang Tan and the others.
The host Yao Miao also put aside the pair of red carpet stars and ran to Zhang Tan and the others.
Two red carpet stars, a man and a woman, had to leave in disgrace.
Now is the highlight moment of Zhang Tan and others.
"Director Tan, I'm wearing a suit today, and I'm handsome." Yao Miao held the microphone and interviewed enthusiastically.
"Compliment." Zhang Tan said modestly, and then came again, "I've always been so handsome." ”
Yao Miao laughed: "Haha, Director Tan is really humorous, "Crazy Stone" is very popular with college students, is it with the mentality of winning an award today?" ”
Zhang Tan nodded: "The acceptance speech is written in the palm of your hand." ”
Yao Miao pretended to be surprised: "Is it really fake?" ”
Zhang Tan said very politely: "Of course it's fake, just a few words, I memorized it early." ”
"Haha, then I'm looking forward to what kind of wonderful acceptance speech Director Tan memorized." Yao Miao interviewed Zhang Tan for a few words, saw that the time was up, and began to interview Guo Shuishou and others.
After the main creators of the crew were interviewed, Zhang Tan quickly picked up the signature pen, signed his name on the poster wall, and then turned his head and said, "Let's take a photo together." ”
In response to Zhang Tan's call, the stone creators stood in a row and asked the reporters to take a group photo.
The flash flashed, and there were a few clicks.
The picture becomes eternal.
Zhang Tan didn't pose much, and after a simple group photo, he turned around and took everyone to say goodbye to the poster wall, entered the Chinese Theater, and came to his seat under the leadership of the staff.
After about a few minutes of waiting, all the celebrity guests have walked the red carpet and the time for the live broadcast has arrived.
The award ceremony is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
