When Wu Ke was busy, Tong Gang was drinking tea somewhere, and after the two of them sat down, he slowly spoke: "Okay, everyone is together, let's have a meeting." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoToday is mainly an exchange and discussion of the film selection link, before that, I would like to introduce the preparatory progress of the Beijing Film Festival. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "The coordination of the venue and the screening theaters has been completed, focusing on the 20 theaters in and around the National Convention Center. So far, we have received applications for 1,639 films, and we expect that number to reach 1,900 by February next year. According to the instructions of the organizing committee, we will select no less than 200 official works. ”

"Nearly 2,000 films, the project is huge, we can't finish them all. You are all members of the film selection committee, and I am looking for you to study it, what criteria are used to screen it? ”

“……”

After Tong Gang finished speaking, no one answered, but there was a rustling sound of brushing. Everyone has a thick sheet of material in front of them, printed with the synopsis of each film.

Chu Qing also took a look, it was arranged according to the application time, and the top one was called "Tomorrow Will Be Better", a Polish film, directed by Dolota Kenjizhavska. It is to the effect that three homeless boys, who live in a railway station in Russia, and then want to cross the border into Poland in search of the good life they want.

He had met the director in Cannes, had dealt with him a little, and the standard of his work was quite good. And what he paid more attention to was the small print below: On May 27 this year, it was released in Poland.

It's the end of November now, and it's clear that the film's overseas distribution is very embarrassing.

Good director, good film, difficult distribution, Chu Qing with a few impressions, just ticked the back - it may not be a classic, but it must be worth watching.

As for the that Tong Gang said, I didn't listen to it.

Come on! The collection of film sources for other film festivals all depends on the selection of films, each of whom contracts a large area, and the one in the photo is directly selected. At this point it becomes a meeting, a meeting, a meeting...... It's impossible to read them all, it's pure bullshit!

Choose a film, then you have to be optimistic about it one by one?

This is the minimum respect for filmmakers, but there is no way, his previous proposal was not adopted, and it is still the unobtrusive expert review mode of the Golden Rooster.

Most of the more than 20 people present were well-known directors and association personnel, and several leaders were responsible for political gatekeeping. In fact, they are quite responsible, but their thinking and vision are too narrow.

What they mean is to formulate a number of standards, and then brush them down one by one. Some say that they are selected according to the fame of the creator, some say that they are selected according to the type of theme, and some say that young directors cannot be ignored and must be considered.

After chattering for a long time, there was no unanimous opinion, Tong Gang couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Xiao Chu, tell me." ”

"Well, everyone's right, let's sum it up. We have a sub-unit of documentary/short film, first cross out this piece, I just flipped through the statistics, there are 63 in total, this is the bottom line. ”

Chu Qing didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Then there is popularity, the fame of the director and actors is very important, find out this part." Of course, the judgment of this popularity is complicated, such as "Tomorrow Will Be Better", many people don't know that Dorota is one of the best directors in Poland, and "Because I Exist" in 06 won the Berlin Film Festival Special Tribute Best Picture Award. ”

"There is also this "Land of Paintings", don't look at it as an animated film, the director is called Lagio, the old man is 71 years old, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Miyazaki of Europe."

"There is also "The Woman on the Sixth Floor", although Ruchini and Sandelina are not national treasure actors, they are also first-class stars in France, and the quality is guaranteed. So this thing is very subjective, and it is all up to you to decide. ”

He paused, gave him some time to digest, and continued, "Third, I think the country is very important. The function of the film festival is to bring good films of different styles from different regions to the audience, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Britain are traditional bigwigs, while Poland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Argentina, Brazil, and Iran are relatively unpopular, but they cannot be ignored. Like "The Dark Side", a thriller co-produced by Spain and Colombia, this combination doesn't need to look at the content, you have to drag it over as soon as you listen to it. There is also this "Bandu", an Indian children's film, which can refer to Iran's "Little Shoes", which is absolutely upright. ”

“……”

When he finished speaking, the whole audience was in ╭( ̄m ̄*)╮

Xie Fei and Zheng Dongtian, who often go out for a walk, can still understand it, but other people don't understand it at all, what is Lagio, Sandelina, that's what a god horse? They felt that they were quite professional, but they turned into big turnips with a bang, and they were white inside and out.

I don't deny the achievements of your predecessors and your love for movies, but I have to say that they are outdated and can't keep up with the rapidly changing industry situation and audience needs.

Regardless of whether it is an independent film in Europe or a commercial blockbuster in the United States, these more than 20 people are tied together, and they are not as recognized as Chu Qing alone.

In fact, Chu Qing was also embarrassed, as if he had no choice but to add his parents' WeChat, and then he was swiped by such rotten things as "Oba * Ma's Ten Advice to Young People" and "Du Yuesheng's Twenty-Eight Family Rules".

What a generation gap!

"Ahem......"

After being silent for a long time, Tong Gang coughed twice and said, "Xiao Chu spoke in great detail, what do you think?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, what do you think?

Give him the selection alone, let's not care about the, this is the best way. But maybe, the boss didn't agree, so whose North Film Festival did it be?

So he was speechless.

Just as the atmosphere was getting lower and lower, Xie Fei suddenly spoke: "Xiao Chu's proposal is good, we don't need to think so complicated." These more than 1,000 movies are evenly divided into those of us and screened separately. The basic criteria are the ones I just mentioned, and the rest is up to your own judgment, and all of you here are experts, so you don't even have this vision. ”

"Don't limit the number at the beginning, we will recommend what we like, wait for the total number to come out, and then focus on the discussion, delete more, and make up less. What do you guys think? ”

Xie Fei is the oldest qualified here, don't look at 68 years old, the old man has a temper.

In 2005, the China Film Directors Association created an "Association Award", which is similar to industry recognition, and mainland directors attach great importance to it. But during that time, the official crackdown on "too many awards and festivals" was banned.

Later, after the association's hard work, the qualifications were restored, but there were conditions: no awards, no commendations, otherwise they would not be approved, not broadcast, and not reported!

So, at the awards ceremony of a certain year, the audience was NG. Because they want to say the "Director Award" as "commended directors"; Say "acceptance speech" as "commendation speech".

The most bullish thing is that I don't even let the trophy say, and it has become a "commendation proof object." ”

The old man was immediately angry, and sent an open letter with the title of "Ridiculous, Angry, and Hateful Modern Text * Prison".

In addition, he has also stood on the platform for domestic independent film exhibitions many times, running to help each other, and is a particularly enlightened old-timer.

Behind him is the Nortel family, the weight is proper, and immediately, the representative of the Chinese opera also raised his hand in favor. Well, the two mountain ranges are all supported, and they are all good karma formed by Chu Qing.

Others look at it, and if you have it, then support it.

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"No comment!"

Tong Gang blinked, not knowing what he was thinking, but said, "Okay, it's decided." We are short of time and have heavy tasks, and everyone has worked hard. ”

Subsequently, it was assigned on the spot. Excluding the documentary/short film and a few leaders, each person was assigned about 80 films, and they met again after two months to determine the final result.

…………

In the morning, the selection of films for the screening was completed. In the afternoon, there will be a discussion of the retrospective.

The retrospective, as the name suggests, is to show some classic old movies to satisfy the emotional needs of audiophiles. This makes the age difference even more obvious, the older generation likes Soviet films, but they can't pull "The Dawn Is Quiet Here" and "The Quiet Don" into it, it will be laughed at.

So he went to the top and got Tarkovsky in the Holy Trinity. "Sacrifice", "Homesickness", "Stalker", "Mirror", "Ivan's Childhood", "Andrei Rubev", a total of six films.

If there is coldness, there must be the public, and everyone picks and chooses among Cheng Long, Zhou Xingxing, Leslie Cheung, and Zhou Runfa, but they still choose Zhou Xingxing, who is the most popular among the audience. "Journey to the West", "God of Food", "The King of Comedy", "Jiupin Sesame Official" and other twelve movies, oh, there is no "Domestic Lingling Paint".

The official also saved a little abacus to see if he could catch Zhou Xingxing, if he participated in the Northern Film Festival, he would be forced to make a profit.

In addition, there is a retrospective exhibition of Zhou Xuan, a total of ten films. A review of classic Hollywood sci-fi films, including "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Blade Runner", and "Alien".

Four series, no more, no less, the overall style tends to be stable. Coupled with the premieres of "Kung Fu Panda" and "Speed 5", it is definitely enough in terms of the type and commerciality of the film.

However, some people suggested that "Killers Have No Holidays" should be added to it and make a European and American independent film festival. Chu Qing thanked the buddy very much, and then declined politely, so he had to avoid suspicion.

At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted.

When Tong Gang announced the dismissal of the meeting, Chu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and walked out with the crowd, seeing that the sky was dark and the snow had stopped. When he went out, he saw Xie Fei standing on the side of the road at a glance, Chu Qing hurriedly ran over and said, "Where are you going, I'll send you?" ”

The old man laughed and pointed to the left, a big car that was n times stronger than Volvo was slowly coming.

"Uh......"

The goods were very embarrassed, so they had to say: "At the meeting just now, thank you for your support." ”

"No thanks, we all know!"

Xie Fei patted him, didn't say much, walked a few steps and got into the car.

“……”

Chu Qing saw him away, turned around and left, and deliberately stepped on a creak, for the first time since this film festival, he experienced the feeling of having someone with him. (To be continued.) )
