Chapter 36: "Lack of Artistic Value"

"Night Club" has just been screened for a while, and Wu Xiaofei, who is sitting in the back row, has a disdainful face.

What the hell is this?

The language of the lens is too straightforward, it is completely flat and straightforward, and the picture has no artistic beauty, and the lines and plot have no depth at all!

Such a film can be nominated, it seems that the judges of this year's Yenching Film Festival are really limited.

Looking back, the contempt on his face became more and more apparent.

Still shooting long shots?

Small scenes, three characters, what is the difficulty of this kind of long shot, and it is not so dazzling if you want to show off your skills.

There is also a long shot of more than two minutes in "Dream Chaser", the difference is that there are more than ten characters in turn.

In Wu Xiaofei's heart, only by shooting that kind of cool shot can the director's scheduling ability be expressed, in comparison, "Nightclub" is too bad.

As time passed, the plot of the movie gradually unfolded.

Listening to the laughter of other audiences in the theater from time to time, Wu Xiaofei felt even more disdainful in his heart.

Can you have a little artistic appreciation, this kind of comedy without depth, as for watching it so hard?

Or, these people are all hired by the director of "Nightclub", right?

He poked his head out, and after scanning the scene in the theater with the light from the big screen, he almost didn't laugh.

If it's really a trust, then this director is too deductible, so it's better to find more people, what can a few people do.

If it's not Tuo, then let alone a few viewers came to see the screening, saying that "Night Club" could win the award, Wu Xiaofei was the first to believe it!

Ninety minutes passed quickly, the movie had just ended, and before the end credits could roll, Wu Xiaofei got up and walked towards the exit of the theater.

His steps were much lighter than before.

Originally, the copyright of "Dream Chaser" couldn't be sold, and he was still a little anxious these days, but now that he looks at it, it is impossible for a movie of the level of "Night Club" to be competitive.

Thinking that there was one less competitor and the probability of winning the award was a few points higher, Wu Xiaofei couldn't even care about the copyright, and walked out with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, please stay for a while, are you Wu Xiaofei and Director Wu, can I interview you with a few questions?"

As soon as he walked out of the screening hall, he was stopped in the lobby of the theater by a good-looking female reporter.

There was about to be a screening of another movie in this theater, and the reporter was about to go to participate, but he recognized Wu Xiaofei in the lobby.

As the son of the great director Wu Shaolin, Wu Xiaofei is still very popular on the Internet, anyway, the screening has not started yet, so the reporter stopped him to prepare for an interview.

Thinking about winning the award, Wu Xiaofei was in a good mood, raised his eyes and looked at the female reporter again, and saw that she looked pretty good, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you ask." ”

"You're here to see the film festival, can you tell me which movie you're watching?"

Wu Xiaofei didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Night Club". ”

The reporter thought for a while and asked: "This movie seems to be the same as "Dream Chaser", which is also a shortlisted film in the newcomer unit, do you have any comments after watching it?" ”

"Evaluation?"

In front of reporters, Wu Xiaofei was afraid of his image, and he didn't dare to behave too openly after all, but with his character, it was more difficult for him to say good things about "Nightclub" than to kill him, so he thought about it carefully and organized the language before he spoke.

"In my opinion, the film is undoubtedly inferior in its patronizing comedy and lacking some deep artistic value."

As soon as she heard him say this, the female reporter suddenly became interested, and then asked: "Then what advice do you want to say to the director of "Night Club"?" ”

This question can be regarded as scratching Wu Xiaofei's itch, after all, he has always been proud of the artistry of "Dream Chaser".

He said with a senior-like attitude: "I think that as filmmakers, we should take on the responsibility of filmmakers, not just pay attention to the surface, the ideology and artistry of the film are the most important." ”

""Dream Chaser" has been a great success for two consecutive screenings, has received praise from many film critics and professionals, and is also considered to be the favorite to win the award, do you have any confidence in winning the award?"

Speaking of the screening of "Dream Chaser", Wu Xiaofei was very complacent and said: "I am very confident that I can win the award. ”

"The schedule of "Dream Chaser" is set for July, and the summer season has always been a popular schedule, will you feel pressure?"

"Pressure? Okay, I'm sure the audience will love the ...... of "Dream Chaser"

Because he didn't get up and leave until he finished reading the subtitles, Song Huaiyuan walked a while later than Wu Xiaofei, and just walked into the theater lobby at this time.

Hearing Wu Xiaofei talking eloquently to reporters, repeatedly telling how much effort "Dream Chaser" had taken him, Song Huaiyuan, who was passing by, couldn't help but want to laugh.

didn't bother Wu Xiaofei's boasting, he walked past the two of them and walked out of the cinema quickly.

got into the car, Song Huaiyuan took out his mobile phone and called his subordinates.

"Find the contact information of Fang Bo, the director of "Night Club", hurry up, I want to contact him as soon as possible."

……

In the morning, I watched two screenings in a row, and after lunch, Fang Bo returned to the hotel to rest.

Not long after lying down, the phone rang.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Fang Bo held back his sleepiness and connected the phone, "Hey, hello, what's the matter?" ”

"Hello, are you Director Fang Bo?"

The voice of a mature man came over the phone.

Fang Bo blinked, as if he had a premonition of something, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly: "That's right, I'm Fang Bo." ”

"Hello Director Fang, I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm the manager of Huarui Film and Television Distribution Department, and my name is Song Huaiyuan." The man introduced himself politely.

What a call from the publisher!

A few days after the festival opened, a distributor finally called.

Fang Bo had a feeling of being able to see the moon at this moment, he moved his phone away a little, took two deep breaths, and calmed down before saying, "It's not a matter of disturbance, Manager Song is polite." ”

"Director Fang, I just watched the screening of "Nightclub", and from my personal point of view, I like this movie more."

Song Huaiyuan carefully considered the words and tried not to show himself too enthusiastic, "As far as I know, this film has not yet been entrusted to a professional distribution company for distribution, so I would like to ask Director Fang if he has any ideas for selling the copyright, and we Huarui Film and Television are willing to buy out the domestic screening rights of this film at a suitable price." ”

Since he wants to develop in the film industry, of course, he must have an understanding of major film companies, and Fang Bo has naturally heard of the name of Huarui Film and Television.

Although this company is weak in the field of film investment and production, it is deeply involved in the field of distribution, and after years of accumulation, its distribution strength in the film and television industry should not be underestimated.
