Chapter 24: Something is wrong

The handsome female clerk Tang Xiaolian, the otaku Li Junwei, the film policeman with a mantra, and the young guy who looks cheap.

The film ran for more than five minutes, and a total of four characters appeared, each with distinct characteristics, making it easy for the audience to remember.

Out of professional habits and the responsibilities of the judges, Zhang Zhan analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the film while watching.

Ah, wait.

Thinking about it, he suddenly reacted.

This seems to be the way of commercial films.

The movie goes on.

As soon as the young guy left, a new character appeared.

Judging from the back of the picture, this person with a Mediterranean hairstyle on his head and wearing an old long trench coat rushed through the door and walked into the supermarket, clearly looking unkind.

In the next conversation between this person and Tang Xiaolian, the director did not shoot according to the previous front and back shots, but moved the shooting perspective, and such a long shot was completely filmed.

Yo, that's kind of interesting.

Seeing this long shot, Zhang Zhan finally became interested.

Although it is a three-minute long shot, it is actually okay to talk about the difficulty of shooting. After all, there are only three characters, and the scene is very simple, so it won't be particularly difficult to shoot.

But whether one thing is difficult or not is relative.

Zhang Zhan thinks it's not difficult, that's because he has been in the industry for nearly ten years, and he has directed many feature films himself, so of course he can be familiar with filming.

But the director of this film is a newcomer, and it is still an independent film, and it is not easy to make it like this under the constraints of various prerequisites.

Not to mention anything else, at least the director's sincerity and intentions towards the movie are reflected.

Zhang Zhan couldn't help but glance at the information on the table again, and the word "Fang Bo" was written behind the director's column.

Fangbo.

He secretly wrote down the name.

……

"Hahaha."

"Haha."

During the subsequent viewing process, the room resounded with the laughter of the judges from time to time.

The centralized review lasted for more than two days, and this is the first time this situation has occurred.

Actually, it's easy to understand.

After all, the judges are also people, and after watching dozens of slow-paced literary films in a row, it is inevitable that they will be aesthetically fatigued, and a bright-paced comedy will of course have a refreshing feeling when they appear all of a sudden.

The 90-minute movie ended quickly.

A judge took the lead in giving his own evaluation, "I think this "Night Club" is still very good, although it is a commercial film, it has not made any low-level mistakes, the use of the camera is very smooth, and the laughter is set more appropriately, it can be regarded as a comedy above the level." ”

"Well, I agree."

Another judge nodded and agreed: "It can be seen that the cost of the film should not be high, the scene is always limited to the supermarket, but the script is well written, there are no logical errors, and the actors' performances are also in place, which is already quite a mature work among new directors." ”

"That's right, if a film of this level can't get nominated, then it can't be said."

The three judges all gave affirmation, but the fourth judge expressed a different opinion, "It's not so good, the script has no depth, it's completely a fun-hearted consumer product, and the audience forgets it after reading it." I feel that it is okay to nominate a small award casually, or it is normal not to nominate it. ”

"Eh, after all, it's a newcomer's work, don't be so demanding."

"People are originally commercial films, and what they pursue is the box office, which is not very normal."

"A movie made by a newcomer can choose between commerciality and literary nature, which is very good, after all, it is a film newcomer unit, and the requirements cannot be so high."

Seeing some criticism, several other judges refuted it.

Naturally, they also saw the problems of "Nightclub", but in the final analysis, this is always a newcomer's work, and the standards cannot be set too high, and some shortcomings are tolerable.

After discussing for a while, several judges gradually divided into two parties, one for the other and the other against, although there are many people who support and few people who oppose it, but it is an indisputable fact that there are objections.

So several people looked at Zhang Zhan.

Whether a film can be nominated or not, the judges have the final decision, so whether "Night Club" is alive or dead depends on how Zhang Zhan chooses.

"Director Zhang, you are the chief judge, what do you think?"

"My opinion is simple."

Zhang Zhan picked up the folder on the table, flipped to the information of "Night Club", and said seriously: "Several directors may have overlooked one place, this work is actually an independent film. ”

"Independent films?"

The other judges really didn't pay attention to this information, after all, after reviewing the film for so long, everyone was very tired, so they didn't pay too much attention to the information of the film.

"A rookie director, without investment from a film and television company, raised money to make this movie by himself, we are all insiders, and we should understand the difficulties involved."

"And the final effect of the movie is very good, although it is a small-budget film, the script is complete, full of laughter, and the characters have their own characteristics, which is not much worse than those blockbusters."

"So, I think we should nominate this movie, otherwise wouldn't we bury a talent in the film industry for nothing?"

After that, Zhang Zhan looked at everyone.

Several judges looked at each other and nodded in unison.

is indeed the truth, it is not easy for an independent film made by a newcomer to have such a level, if you don't give a nomination, it will bury talents.

The original intention of the establishment of the new film unit is to discover and support new talents, and as judges, they should practice this.

Zhang Zhan smiled: "In that case, let's discuss what awards should be nominated for "Nightclub"? ”

"Director Zhang, this movie has won a total of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best ......"

……

After a period of deliberation, the judges finally agreed on the nomination of "Nightclub" and continued to review the film.

Just finished watching a comedy, and when they were waiting for the next movie to be released, they were in a relaxed mood, especially Zhang Zhan.

He has also come from the grassroots step by step, and now he has personally discovered a young man who is in a similar situation to himself, and he will naturally be happy.

Unfortunately, his good mood didn't last long.

The name of the next movie is "Dream Chaser".

Although it is a newcomer's work, the judges present are no strangers to this name, because director Wu Xiaofei's father is a well-known director, so his son inherited his father's business and entered the film industry, which has long been hyped by the media.

As the son of a great director, under the influence of his ears, he should have some of his father's skills, plus he graduated from a prestigious school like Yenching Film Academy, Wu Xiaofei's directing level should not be bad no matter how you think about it.

Therefore, at the beginning of the movie, the judges had high expectations and were ready to be nominated for the award for "Dream Chaser".

But soon, they realized that something was wrong.
