Chapter Eighty-Nine: Two Flowers Bloom, One on Each Side
Song Mu and his entourage were having a sumptuous dinner at Liu Difu's house, but at the same time, the conference room of the United States Film Science Society turned into a pot of porridge.
In addition to the Lord. The high-level people outside the table all gathered in this conference room and discussed a headache.
"Sure it's the Lord. A call from Xi? The man seated in the throne asked.
"Yes, it's the Lord. Xi personally made the call. He said that a group of five people from Huaguohai Fine Arts Film Studio would stay at his house during this time, and would give up their rooms to others if needed. A man who looked like a secretary replied.
There was a sudden silence in the conference room, and everyone didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, thinking about what this move meant.
After a while, the man sitting in the main seat spoke again: "Finn, if I remember correctly, Huaguo was shortlisted for a cartoon?" ”
The named man flipped through the folder in front of him and affirmed, "Yes, it's a cartoon." They were shortlisted for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, and Best Foreign Language Film. ”
When he first heard the first two awards, the man sitting in the main seat couldn't help frowning, and when he heard that the last one turned out to be the best foreign language film, the man was directly surprised.
"Are you sure you're talking about the best foreign language film? And not the best animated shorts?! ”
"That's right, it's the best foreign language film." Finn nodded, "Actually, it's longer than many movies are usually long, a full one hundred and twenty minutes long, and it's a full-fledged feature-length animation." ”
“……”
The man was silent again, and this year's "The Great Mouse Detective" produced by the fourth Ni is only seventy-three minutes, and Huaguo, as a country where the animation industry is increasingly unable to keep up with the international situation, actually produced a 120-minute feature-length animation?
"Vincent, I know you're the vice-master. Xi's work is busy, but I think you should watch Huaguo's "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother". One woman said to the man sitting in the main seat, "Although there is no explicit rule that the judges must watch every film, I guess you must have seen the cartoon yet, right?" ”
Every year, countless films from all over the world are submitted to the United States Film Science Society, hoping to be shortlisted for the Little Golden Man Award. Therefore, many judges will not watch all the films, but only pick some that they are interested in.
What's more, I didn't even watch a single one, and I voted. The ticket is all based on the crooked trade. This is also the reason why there is a saying that "if a film wants to be shortlisted, at least tens of millions of meters of knife will be invested".
Fortunately, after the shortlist is determined, it will become a "sorting and re-selection system" of one person and one vote, and the award of the little golden man is still relatively fair.
The woman saw that Vincent on the throne did not reply, so she continued to Amway: "It's a pity that "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" is just an animated film, if he is filmed by a real person, the best actor and actress dare not say, but I believe that there will be nominations for best special effects, best film editing, best director and even best picture!" ”
Vincent is not a very powerful person, and the reason why he hasn't watched "Splitting the Mountain to Save His Mother" is really because of his position.
"Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" was originally delivered later than other films, and he has not had time to watch it because he is very busy with work.
He knew that Tess, the woman, was very picky about movies, and she would never be afraid of the Lord. Xi's intention is biased in favor of a work. Since Tess can stand up and strongly Amway, it is estimated that "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" is really a movie worth watching.
Vincent decided to go home from work after a meeting, so he took his daughter and son to have a good review of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
"Finn, what is the order of nominations for "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" now?" Pulling his thoughts back, Vincent asked calmly.
Finn flipped through the folder in front of him again, and wrote down a piece of paper as he searched, and only after finishing it all did he replied: "The best original song currently has 37.8% of the votes, ranking second; The best adapted screenplay received 36.4% of the votes, ranking first; The best foreign language film received 46% of the votes, but the pinwheel country "Attack" won 46.2% of the votes, so it temporarily ranked second. ”
The award system of the little golden man is a "ranking and re-election system".
A series of pitches are carried out within the United States Film Science Society. votes, constantly removing the movie with the lowest number of votes in each round to narrow down the range of alternatives. Until one film wins more than 50% of the vote, the film will be the ultimate winner.
To put it bluntly, these nominations for "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" are not very important awards, so Vincent didn't pay much attention to them before.
It is precisely because of this that when he heard these data, he was simply dumbfounded!
Finn reported the data from the previous round of voting, and he will only get the final round of voting tomorrow. The results of the vote count.
In other words, the three awards nominated for "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" not only made it to the final round, but it is also very likely to win!
At this moment, Vincent was no longer entangled, he tapped his fingers on the table, and after attracting everyone's attention, he directly announced his decision: "A few people from Huaguohai City Fine Arts Film Studio, let them live in the master. Xi family. Their rooms will be divided between the Kingdom of Genes and the Kingdom of Maple Leaves. And just like that, we ......"
"Wait!"
Before he could say that the meeting was dismissed, someone suddenly interjected: "Do you need to ...... the vote results of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother"? ”
"No, you don't!" Vincent interrupted him categorically: "If you can, our Little Golden Man Award should try to make it as pure as possible." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the "old stubborns" led by Tess lit up one after another.
Vincent didn't say anything more, but directly announced the adjournment......
As the parties, Song Mu and others, including the master of the United States Film Science Association. Xi Liu Difu, including Liu Difu, naturally doesn't know what happened in the conference room of the United States Film Science Society.
While they were eating, they were talking about some of the content of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
Liu Difu, like the old man named Liang Guangqi who he met in the Xinhua Cinema a long time ago, threw out all his thoughts and doubts about watching "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
Song Mu and others have been answering this kind of question a lot during this time, and they are very easy to answer, which makes Liu Difu very satisfied.
Later, they chatted about some interesting stories in the production process of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", as well as the old things between Liu Difu and Zhao Wende, and the chat atmosphere between the guests and the host was very pleasant.
After a dinner, Jenny changed the specially bought Huaguo tea for everyone, and Liu Difu suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, do you know anything about the award process of the little golden man?" ”
Song Mu thought back to the situation of watching the live broadcast in his previous life in his memory, and just wanted to answer, but found that everyone in the elite group, including Han Yangqiu, shook their heads one after another.
She simply swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know much either.
Liu Difu was a little surprised to get such an answer, which made him the head of the United States Film Science Association. He felt very depressed.
"I heard Mr. Han's accent before, it should be a Mi countryman, right? You don't even know about the Little Golden Man Award? Liu Difu asked unwillingly.
After all, since the second session of the Little Golden Man Award, the radio station of Angel City has been broadcasting, and by 1953, it was broadcast by the TV station of the United States Broadcasting Company.
As the most influential film award that people in the United States like to see, almost everyone in the United States knows about it. A Chinese saying that he doesn't know about the Little Golden Man Award is as rare as a Chinese saying that he doesn't know much about the Spring Festival Gala.
"Although I'm an American for the time being, I'm Chinese." Han Yangqiu replied without thinking about it.
Although Liu Difu is proud of being a national countryman, he respects everyone's persistence more.
When he realized that his words offended Han Yangqiu and was about to apologize solemnly, Han Qiuyang replied with a word: "I haven't cared about awards like the Little Golden Man Award, which can't even be squeezed into the three major international film festivals, since I was a child. ”
Liu Difu: "......"
Our little golden figure will not be a film festival at all, why should we squeeze into the three major international film festivals!!
