Chapter 242: It's a pity that the movie doesn't need to do garbage sorting
Europa, the most prestigious Bonham Film Festival in the film industry, brings together filmmakers from all over the world, as well as some loyal film enthusiasts.
The films that participated in the screening this time will be shortlisted for this year's Bonham Prize after being voted and scored by the jury.
For directors or actors, it will be a very worthwhile achievement.
"Director Bi, I just finished reading your work yesterday, it's so exciting!"
"It feels like it's definitely one of the best films nominated for the Bonham Award for Best Picture!"
- "Where, where! It's a pity that Director Feng didn't have any works to participate in the competition this time, otherwise it would definitely be my business! ”
......
As one of the international awards, the number of domestic filmmakers who come to participate in the screening is also quite large.
And a lot of people know each other.
At this time, when they meet in a foreign country, and on such an occasion, it is inevitable that they will start to praise each other.
"Hey, that's ......"
Suddenly, Bi Minzhong looked in a certain direction as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Xu Ji?"
Feng Caiyi also squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then said the name of the person who came meaningfully.
"It seems to be Wei Yifa next to him."
"How did a director like Xu Ji come to the Bonham Film Festival?"
When Bi Minzhong said this, there was obviously a slight disdain in his tone.
Although Xu Ji's fame is now very big in China, his popularity is also very high.
But after all, he is just a person who makes film and television dramas, no matter how popular he is, he makes movies like this, and he is engaged in art, he looks down on each other.
"Say hi?"
Feng Caiyi opened his mouth to propose.
If it was only Xu Ji, Bi Minzhong would definitely choose to refuse directly.
I don't think there's any need for that.
But there is also a Wei Yifa, the other party has a good reputation in the world, and he has also won the actor of the Bonham Film Festival, which is indeed worth going up to say hello.
Although it was the first time to come to the film festival, Xu Ji was actually quite familiar with such an atmosphere.
Although the three major domestic film awards do not have such a public screening link, there are still some small awards that will learn from foreign methods and set up corresponding screening links.
It's just that the quality of the film and the director and cast are not at the same level at all.
Xu Ji watched a few movies, including some internationally renowned directors abroad, and some young directors who had never heard of their names.
But I have to say that there are still a lot of good works.
Although this type of literary film may not be very good at the box office after it is released in theaters, its value cannot be denied.
And you can see how much the director cares about it, and his ambition to not just tell a story.
Speaking of which, for the sake of the company's development, Xu Ji basically never thought of getting involved in the field of literary films.
But there are a lot of excellent literary films in my mind, but I can make one when I am in the mood.
"Brother Fa."
Suddenly, Xu Ji found that he didn't know when the road in front of him and Wei Yifa was stopped.
"Are you ......?"
Wei Yifa looked at the two people in front of him and didn't remember it for a while.
Bi Minzhong and Feng Caiyi saw Wei Yifa's reaction, and their faces were a little unbearable at this time.
At last year's Bonham Film Festival, they took the initiative to greet Wei Yifa.
But at that time, Wei Yifa saw quite a lot of people every day, and now that a year has passed, it is normal not to know each other.
Feng Caiyi took the initiative to introduce himself:
"Fa Ge, last year was also the Bonham Film Festival, we met at that time, and my "Northern Black Talk" was also shortlisted for the latest film."
After hearing Feng Caiyi's words, Wei Yifa remembered the two people in front of him.
Then he quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm old, I forgot about it."
Feng Caiyi was quite happy to see that the other party remembered him.
Began to talk to himself enthusiastically.
The content includes films screened at this film festival, and the tone is quite proud.
implies that the quality of the film this time is not as good as last year's shortlisted film.
For the two directors in front of him, Xu Ji has no impression at all.
It's not that there aren't many famous directors who make art films or anything.
Many of the super-first-line directors are making art films, but it is not too much to be considered a household name.
These two should be second-tier directors at most.
Otherwise, it is unlikely that Xu Ji will not be impressed at all.
In fact, Xu Ji himself knows something about such a director, but there are not many audiences in the mainland at all.
I sent it to a foreign film festival, thinking that I could win an award and soar to the sky.
Many people open and close their mouths about film art, but their hearts are full of longing for all kinds of extravagant life after becoming famous.
But because of this situation, in order to win the award, many people specially shoot some things that distort the local Chinese soil and send them abroad to please those foreigners.
seems to have learned some of the styles of the older generation of directors, but only learned the surface, but in fact, the core is indeed empty.
Coincidentally, Xu Ji happened to watch the other party's "Northern Black Dialect" just now, which is such a movie.
That's why Xu Ji looked at Feng Caiyi in front of him, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Feng Caiyi had actually been secretly observing Xu Qi's side of Wei Yifa since just now.
For Xu Ji, although he said disdain, the other party's age and achievements were there, and he also broke out a plan to start making movies.
Naturally, it's hard not to pay attention.
He was very keenly aware of the disdain that Xu Ji looked at him.
Immediately my heart was furious.
"Brother Fa, this is ......"
He deliberately pretended not to know Xu Ji and asked.
Wei Yifa didn't notice anything unusual, and introduced himself:
"This is Xu Ji Xu Director, who should be very famous in your mainland, and has made many popular works."
When Feng Caiyi heard Xu Ji's name, he pretended to be very surprised.
Then he said, "Are you Xu Ji?" ”
"I've seen your Legend of Sword and Fairy, and it's okay."
"But aren't you a film and television director? Why are you coming to the festival? ”
When he said this, Feng Caiyi's expression was very natural.
It's like a really sincere post.
Xu Ji couldn't help frowning.
He was a little unaccustomed to it because the other party was the director of "Northern Black Talk", but he didn't expect this person to rush to his gun.
So Xu Ji replied in a playful tone:
"Come and see the world."
"Coincidentally, I've also seen Director Feng's masterpiece "Northern Black Talk"."
......
"Oh?"
"Then I don't know what Director Xu thinks of my work?"
Feng Caiyi heard that the other party's ears had actually seen the movie he directed.
And the posture is still so low, saying that he is here to see the world or something.
Suddenly, the whole person became a little proud.
"What do you say?"
"It's a pity."
Xu Ji shook his head.
"It's a pity?"
Feng Caiyi's face was puzzled, and he didn't understand what Xu Xi's so-called pity meant.
Is it because the investment is relatively small?
It seems that because I didn't get much investment, I really limited my play.
Xu Ji continued unhurriedly:
"It's a pity that the movie doesn't need to do garbage sorting."
"Otherwise, Director Feng, your movie should definitely be thrown into a can marked with hazardous garbage."
After Xu Ji's words were finished, not only Feng Caiyi was stunned, but even Wei Yifa and Bi Minzhong were a little unexpected.
Reacting, Xu Ji turned out to be scolding Feng Caiyi, and he was immediately furious.
"you!"
Feng Caiyi burst into foul language, and then threw himself at Xu Ji.
Although Xu Ji didn't expect the other party to suddenly go berserk, he dodged it very quickly.
Although Feng Caiyi looks chubby and has a very bluffing figure, his body has long been hollowed out by wine.
Although Xu Ji didn't deliberately practice any fighting skills, it was indeed easy to beat such a pot-bellied middle-aged man.
While dodging, he secretly stretched out his foot and tripped the other party directly to the ground, and a sturdy dog gnawed on the mud.
And the battle that took place here immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
The security personnel of the film festival also surrounded this side.
Xu Ji directly raised his hands, signaling that it was none of his business, and Feng Caiyi fell down by himself.
Not long after, Xu Ji and Feng Caiyi were both invited to leave the scene.
Even if Xu Ji didn't do anything during the whole process, those foreigners who were official of the Bonham Award didn't plan to listen to Xu Ji's explanation at all.
Xu Ji doesn't care, anyway, I don't feel anything about it, and I've seen some of the movies I'm interested in.
However, Wei Yifa was not very satisfied, and kept communicating with the official side of the Bonham Award.
Xu Ji, as the person he invited to the film festival, was blasted out like this, and he was really slapped in the face.
But it has been more than ten years since Wei Yifa won the Bonham Award for Best Actor, and the management of the film festival has basically changed at this time.
Obviously, Wei Yifa tried to brush his face but was unsuccessful.
In the car back to the crew, Wei Yifa took the initiative to apologize to Xu Ji.
On the contrary, it made Xu Ji a little embarrassed, after all, this incident was caused by him in the final analysis.
In the end, Wei Yifa was very interesting and left directly with Xu Ji and did not continue to participate.
But when he met someone like Feng Caiyi at that time, Xu Ji really couldn't bear it.
In the life I remembered, I often endured such things.
Now that it's Blue Star, Xu Ji doesn't bother to swallow his anger.
However, Wei Yifa's face brushing is useless, but it makes Xu Ji a little strange, it stands to reason that a person like Wei Yifa who has won the Bonham Award for Best Actor, how can the official give some face.
What's more, Feng Caiyi on the opposite side doesn't seem to have any background.
Wei Yifa heard Xu Ji's doubts, and at this time he also smiled helplessly:
"Actually, there is no way to do it."
"You know that our Chinese film has won an award at the three major Europa film festivals for the last time, more than ten years ago."
"I've never looked down on us."
"In addition, in recent years, basically the juries of the three major film festivals have changed, and there are some new faces coming up, and I don't know a few."
Xu Ji nodded.
In fact, he probably knew before that the influence of Chinese films abroad was not so high.
It's just that I didn't expect that even the status of Huaxia's filmmakers was not as good as I imagined, listening to Wei Yifa's words, even the chain of contempt was still under the stick and the island country.
......
"Xu Ji got into a fight at the Bonham Film Festival and was forcibly evicted by security personnel."
"Director Feng Caiyi complained that Xu Ji was short-tempered and openly insulted himself at an international occasion such as the Bonham Film Festival."
"The name of a genius director is useless, and no one buys it abroad."
......
I have to admit that the speed of the domestic media is quite fast.
What happened in the evening here was directly exposed in China early in the morning.
Xu Ji suddenly appeared on Weite's hot search.
And there are also a few pictures, which are the moments when Xu Ji and Wei Yifa left the Bonham Film Festival together.
Xu Ji had a calm face at the time, while Wei Yifa on the side was saying something to the person in charge at the door of the film festival.
There are also Xu Ji and Wei Yifa who took pictures when they got in the car and left.
The reason why things fermented so quickly is in addition to the reports captured by these reporters.
There are also Feng Caiyi and Bi Minzhong, two directors who are not well-known at all, and directly sent a Weite to openly accuse Xu Ji of insulting people.
Then the two parties got into an argument and were taken out of the festival.
When Xu Ji was woken up by You Man's phone, it was still late at night.
Because of the hot search, Xu Ji has now been criticized by many netizens, and I don't know why, the popularity of this matter is getting bigger and bigger.
You Man suspected that someone was behind the scenes.
So he asked Xu Ji to explain a little.
Xu Ji didn't expect that such a thing would be on the Weibo hot search and cause such a big sensation.
He opened Weite and got a general idea of what had happened.
also saw Feng Caiyi and that Bi Minzhong's micro-special.
These two people are the first to sue the wicked, and they don't mention the arrogance in their tone at all, and they also hide the fact that Feng Caiyi beat people first, and Xu Ji didn't even fight back, just summed it up with a simple dispute.
This Internet can be regarded as being understood by them.
......
"I'm!"
"What is this trace!"
In the hotel, Feng Caiyi was still very angry, brushing Weite, watching some netizens help denounce, but he was a little comforted.
"Director Feng, this is a good thing!"
Bi Minzhong said happily.
Feng Caiyi obviously didn't understand.
"What's that good thing about?"
"That kid scolded me, I was going to beat me up, but I was dodged."
Bi Minzhong said slowly:
"Of course it's a good thing!"
"Didn't you see that this matter has been searched for the first time on Weite now?"
"Xu Ji's popularity is really high!"
"In this way, as long as we grasp this matter, our fame will definitely go up!"
"When the time comes, as long as you become famous, it won't be easy to attract investment or something?!
”
......
When Feng Caiyi heard this, he thought about it carefully, and immediately patted his thigh excitedly.
"That's right!"
"Damn, I'm finally going to be on fire?"
Bi Minzhong said with a smile:
"Although the level of this Xu trace is like that, the popularity is indeed quite high."
"It's a good opportunity to promote our new films."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Feng Caiyi.
"Wait!
! ”
"Xu Ji seems to be a little special?"
