Laughing with tears, this is the highest level of comedy films, since Chaplin's time, movies have begun to look for a way to joke to refer to reality, often able to impress everyone most inadvertently, the audience dare not say what a classic comedy "Three Idiots" is, but under the current trend of popular spoofs, it is rare for films like "Three Idiots" to be able to stand alone.

"Three Idiots" is about the friendship between three friends, this friendship sprouts in the ivory tower, and the trio centered on Lancher goes through a process of submissiveness, rebellion, self-liberation and cognition in college, through these plots, the film explores a series of problems such as the shortcomings of contemporary college education in the United States, the living conditions of marginalized people, and the gap between rich and poor.

And the reason why the film can strongly resonate with the audience is probably because the reality and reality alluded to in the film are too similar, so even if this film is full of comedic exaggeration, in some connotations, the things that the audience can understand are the same.

Lin Mingyang made such a movie at a cost of less than $500,000, which is enough to make most Hollywood comedy directors ashamed. Anyone who has seen this movie has reason to believe that "Three Fools" will be the biggest winner of this film festival. After the film screening, many people would come over to shake hands with the film's creator before leaving, and Lin Mingyang's side was surrounded by people, and congratulations were endless.

There were also some people who did not leave the scene as reporters, nor did they come over to get close to the crew, but took out their mobile phones and occupied a quiet corner. They are all representatives sent by various film companies, and it is obvious that they have a strong interest in the film "Three Fools", and they are all in contact with the company at this time, and they will definitely find ways to contact Lin Mingyang after they come down.

After Lin Mingyang dealt with the people around him, he found that the people in the venue had almost gone, and Blake Friley was being interviewed by BBC TV over there, because he had made an appointment to have lunch together, Lin Mingyang found a secluded place in the venue and sat down, he was going to wait for the interview over there to end and walk with Blair Fraley.

The interview over there had just begun, and while Lin Mingyang was patiently waiting, an uninvited guest appeared. The other party did not ask Lin Mingyang's opinion, and sat beside him by himself.

"The surprise of this film is beyond my imagination!"

"Mr. Gusta?" Lin Mingyang didn't know this person, but he intuitively guessed the identity of the other party.

If the other party didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence, Lin Mingyang knew that he would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect him to appear so soon.

"Lionsgate has always been a commercial sponsor of this film festival group, but I'm here for you." Gusta is a very sophisticated and steady man, or rather a bit of Sven, which should have a lot to do with his banker background.

His words were unhurried, like a weaving shuttle, expressing his thoughts with precision and precision.

"Being able to witness the birth of an excellent work, I feel that I have not come in vain!" Gusta's breezy expression, sparkling eyes, and resolute eyebrows all exuded a resolute and confident heroic spirit, "If you are willing to cooperate with us, Lionsgate will only take 20% of the proceeds from the distribution of this film, and the rest will be yours!" ”

Looking at the right hand handed over by Gusta, Lin Mingyang raised his hand with a hesitant expression. This is not a simple handshake, it means that the cooperation has been reached, and the conditions given by the other party are too generous, which makes Lin Mingyang hesitate.

"Don't want to?" Seeing that Lin Mingyang didn't react for a long time, Gusta couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his tone.

"There is no such thing as a unearned lunch in the world, so ......"

"So you suspect that we have ulterior motives?" Gusta smiled heartily, "Actually, we do have a purpose in doing this, and if Lionsgate can have a partner like you, it will be more useful than buying a film company." ”

Holding Gusta's hand, Lin Mingyang did not hesitate this time.

"Happy working together!"

-- Because of his wonderful appearance on the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Blair Fraley became the focus of the film festival for a while. And the organizers also seized this opportunity and constantly invited her to attend various promotional activities of the festival. Blake Fraley's unique taste in dress has made her a quick spot for the festival's street queen.

Blake Fraley was the focus of the media for a while, and among the stars who attended the Nextframe International Student Film Festival, no one could overtake her. Of course, there are also disadvantages to being in the limelight, Blake Fluley is now in a hotel, and there will be a group of reporters behind her, and her plan to go on a date and go shopping with Lin Mingyang has not been realized until the closing of the film festival.

Lin Mingyang was not idle during this time, on the day of the opening ceremony, Ex's mobile phone rang without stopping, and various film companies, including several Hollywood giants, called, expressing their desire to buy the copyright of the film "Three Fools" to varying degrees or act as an agent for distribution.

After the opening ceremony, although Lin Mingyang and Gusta have reached a verbal agreement, but after all, the two sides have not officially signed the contract, Ex transferred all the companies with good prices to Lin Mingyang, but none of the conditions given can be higher than Lionsgate, the second day of the film festival, Lin Mingyang signed a contract with Lionsgate very happily.

"Three Fools" became the first work to be signed and distributed at this film festival, and other film companies were still waiting for Lin Mingyang to increase the price, and as soon as the news came out, everyone was dumbfounded. Immediately after receiving the distribution rights, Lionsgate announced that the film would be released nationwide after the conclusion of the Nextframe International Collegiate Film Festival. YouTube released the first promo of "Three Fools" the next day, and the overwhelming publicity was accompanied by news about the Nextframe International University Student Film Festival, and the combined publicity effect of the two was enough to arouse the interest of most fans.

The 8-day Nextframe International Student Film Festival held a closing ceremony and award ceremony on the evening of June 23, and "Three Fools", as the film with the highest attention and demand for this year's film festival, has no suspense about winning the award.

The Nextframe International Student Film Festival has eight awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Viewing Effect, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best New Director, Special Drama Award, and Best Short Film. Michael Newman was recognized by the judges for his outstanding performance in "Three Fools", and he was so excited that he lifted the trophy for Best Actor.

"Standing here, I don't know what to say!" Don't look at Michael Newman's relaxed performance in front of the camera, when he was standing on the stage, facing so many audiences under the stage, he was so nervous that his fingers trembled slightly.

"I feel like I'm dreaming, two months ago, I was sitting in a university classroom, and today I'm standing here, and I'm incredibly lucky to have won an award for my first performance. But the film "Three Fools" is not, this is a very good movie, even without me, its excellence will not change in the slightest. I would like to thank Felix and the entire crew for giving me this opportunity! ”

Michael Newman said a lot of thanks later, and until the time ran out, he didn't finish the person he wanted to thank, like a warrior who welcomed the triumphant, Lin Mingyang gave him a long hug in the audience. In fact, "Three Fools" made Newman more than just a trophy for best actor, and he was already approached by acting companies during the film festival, but at the suggestion of Lin Mingyang, he also decided to finish his studies first, and was considering whether to take an actor as his bell career.

The next award for best viewing effect was won by an animated film from France, and when the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of this year's film festival announced that Lin Mingyang won the best director, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.

Lin Mingyang calmly walked on the stage and received the trophy from the 69-year-old movie star Dennis Hopper, because the microphone position was a little low, he also helped him before speaking, "I don't know if you still remember a plot in "Three Fools", the dean asked the students, who was the first person to go to the moon, and someone immediately gave an answer, and when he asked who was the second, no one knew the answer. It's always the first that will be remembered, and I satirized that dogma in the film, but that's for the group. ”

"In reality, I still have to admit that 'first' has a special meaning for each individual. This is the first directing award I've won, and maybe my house will be full of trophies in the future, but I'll always put it in the forefront. ”

There was another round of applause, and Lin Mingyang was about to leave, when Woody Allen, the guest responsible for presenting the highest award of the film festival - Best Feature Film, walked out of the backstage in advance, he stopped Lin Mingyang, and then explained the reason to the audience with an apologetic face.

"I didn't restrain my curiosity just now, I opened the envelope in advance, and in order to prevent Felix from running again, I took matters into my own hands and left him ......" Woody Allen said, and the audience immediately reacted, and the tsunami of applause flooded the venue like a tide, this result was not unexpected, but Woody Allen's unexpected award was greatly unexpected.

When the applause gradually subsided, Woody Allen was able to continue his interrupted speech: "In fact, as the chairman of the special jury, I already knew this result in advance, and I believe that the warm applause that everyone just gave was definitely not given to me, so I will not announce the award results repeatedly, so everyone will not applaud again." ”

Many in the audience were amused by his humorous speech, and some people began to applaud the famous Hollywood director, and the sparse applause finally turned into a chorus, and Woody Allen's speech was once again interrupted by enthusiastic applause, but this time, the applause of the audience was given to him.

"Despite the applause, I can't give this trophy to Felix just yet, because I still want to say a few words." Woody Allen once again played with his humorous language style, "The name of the film is called 'Three Fools', and my first impression of this name is that the person who took this name must be a fool. ”

Finally, some viewers in the audience couldn't help laughing, but Woody Allen definitely didn't mean to satirize Lin Mingyang when he said this, "But it's such a movie that I think the name taker is a fool, but I watched it three times over and over again." Every time I look at it, I feel it differently. ”

At this time, no one in the audience laughed anymore, and everyone quietly waited for Woody Allen's next step.

"The first time I watched it, what I regretted the most was that those once proud youth and golden years were almost completely false, and they were kidnapped almost everywhere, in fact, everyone understands what the protagonist of the film, Lancher, said, but it may never be as impressive and emotional as the film in the form of edutainment."

"The words of the authorities and the definitions of textbooks have always been things that we abide by, and we have never doubted or dared to doubt them for a long time, so we have become puppets of worldly interests between the rules and regulations. "Three Fools" is a story that is full of reason, and its greatest beauty lies in the fact that there are Zen machines everywhere under the surface of comedy, but in the midst of pleasant scenes, it is the paradox that makes people hate reality more and more the more they look at it, what kind of world do we live in? After reading it for the second time, I hate this damn life ever since! ”

"When I watched it for the third time, I realized that this is a good film that defies authority and challenges dogma, and it tells us, or rather awakens our most authentic nature, and tells us what we should pursue. Especially when you're still young, especially when you still have time and the strength to resist, then try to resist. ”

"The most regrettable thing is that when I was younger, there were no movies like 'The Three Fools.' By the time I understood something, the best years of my life were gone. So here I recommend this movie to all young people in the United States today, if you miss it, you will find it again in some dusty corner in the future, and you will only regret it after watching it. ”
