Chapter 284: The Jury That Broke the Rules

"How about this movie called Mr. What Tree? I didn't even notice. ”

"I haven't seen it either, there are so many films on display at the festival, who can watch them all? It's definitely all chosen. ”

"But if it's Xu Ji, it can be understood, his ability to write scripts is still very strong, although "Wushuang" is a genre film, but it's not a bad movie."

"Xu Ji is really powerful, but I didn't expect to start getting involved in literary films now."

......

《hello! After Mr. Tree won three awards, everyone at the scene began to talk about it.

Such a performance, even if it is not the Golden Goblet Award in the main competition unit, it can definitely be regarded as the dark horse of this Shanghai Film Festival.

And such a movie is obviously highly evaluated by the jury.

The Golden Goblet Award, the highest award in the future, is really likely to win.

The best film of the follow-up media awards was also released, which announced that all the awards in the second unit had been awarded.

Next is the highlight of the Shanghai Film Festival.

It is also the most valuable award in each Shanghai Film Festival and the most recognized award in the outside world and the industry - the Golden Goblet Award.

"Next is the main competition unit, the first award of the Golden Goblet Award, the 'Artistic Achievement Award'"

"Look at the big screen!"

As the on-site award presenters finished speaking, a short video began to play on the screen.

This award is actually a little special, mainly awarded to some people who have made a greater contribution in the film industry, not necessarily directors and actors, but also costume designers, prop masters, or action directors and other staff.

And the winners of this award are generally older, and they belong to the kind of old-timers in the industry.

There is no shortlist or anything, and the winners are announced directly.

"Congratulations, Qian Litao!"

In fact, after watching the short film, it was basically determined who the winner was.

The award presenters did not deliberately sell off, and directly opened their mouths to send their blessings.

Qian Litao can also be regarded as an older generation of filmmakers.

Just a few years ago, he officially announced his retirement, but the name is familiar to many people on the scene.

The other party is a props master, in fact, when the development of Chinese films is not perfect enough, the profession of prop master is not taken seriously.

Qian Litao is the best in the profession of Huaxia prop master so far.

In the past, there was a big gap between the various technologies of Chinese films, especially special effects, and the West.

Some shots either cost a lot of money to be done by the West to help with special effects, or the finished film is of poor quality.

Through a lot of self-developed props, Qian Litao greatly reduced the cost of filming, and the effect was the same as what many directors expected.

Later, Qian Litao simply opened a movie props company by himself, specializing in wholesale or custom props for some crews.

The other party's company is also developing very well, and the three major companies have cooperated with it, and even the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" filmed by Yang Anran of Tongji Entertainment this time is also Qian Litao's company.

Everyone at the scene gave their own applause.

Qian Litao is actually a special existence at the Shanghai Film Festival, because many of the props he is responsible for producing are genre films.

Although there are also props for literary films, they are only a small part.

and others are all people in the literary film circle, Qian Litao is indeed more special.

However, the setting and selection criteria of this award are like this, Qian Litao is also qualified, and there will not be many doubts.

After this award was awarded, the next step was really to start fighting.

First up was the "Best Cinematography" award, which was shortlisted for a total of eight photographers from eight films at the festival.

In the end, the photographers of Li Yuchang and Ning Jingshan were shortlisted, and the winner was Li Yuchang.

His work won his first award at the Shanghai Film Festival.

Although it was not him who won the award, his expression at this time was quite proud, and he looked at Ning Jingshan next to him from time to time.

Ning Jingshan was not as happy as before

After all, if you lose to someone you hate, your mood will definitely be affected a bit.

But both of them know that in fact, the award for the big head is definitely not this best photography.

......

Next up is the award for Best Screenplay.

It made Chen Jinyu and Liu Baofeng feel a little regretful that Xu Ji was not shortlisted for the main competition unit this time.

Otherwise, there should be no suspense in the eyes of the two of them, and it should be Xu Ji.

Among the eight screenwriters who were finally shortlisted, one named "Yao Qiming" won this award.

Yao Qiming's age doesn't look young, and he is estimated to be in his early forties.

At the same time, he is also a well-known screenwriter in the industry, but he has never won any awards at the film festival.

This is the first time in nearly 20 years of experience that he has won the award.

When I received the award, I was so excited that I wiped my tears while saying my acceptance speech.

But no one laughed at such behavior.

After all, the gold content of the Shanghai Film Festival is still very high, and not just any screenwriter can get it.

What's more, many literary film directors are actually screenwriters themselves, such as Yao Qiming, who specializes in writing scripts for literary films, but it is more difficult for them to survive than ordinary screenwriters.

After all, not everyone is Xu Ji, and they don't even bother to present awards.

In fact, what Yao Qiming didn't know was that the guest of honor for this award invited Xu Ji.

It's just that Xu Ji refused.

Liu Baofeng waited for a long time, and this time he was finally able to hear his name again.

Best Actor at the Golden Goblet Awards.

It is also known as the actor crown.

Of course, the influence of literary films is naturally no genre films, and the actors who rely on the box office and awards are big.

Even some people who have won the Golden Goblet Award at the Shanghai Film Festival are just first-line actors in the official list, but just looking at this circle, there are still many people who agree.

"Main Competition Unit, Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, ...... finalists"

Liu Baofeng saw "Hello! When the fragment of "Mr. Tree" still has his name, the whole person is excited.

On the contrary, Chen Jinyu, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said:

"Alas, be mentally prepared."

"It seems that those who have won the media award will not give the Golden Goblet Award to the jury."

Liu Baofeng didn't know about it, and he was stunned for a moment.

Then I heard the award presenters on stage say the names of the award-winning actors.

"Shanghai Film Festival, Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, the winner is ......"

"Wilderness, Ao Sichen!"

Liu Baofeng was suddenly lost.

But in fact, Chen Jinyu beside him was also a little lost.

After all, he also won the Best Director of the Media Award, that is to say, he is estimated to miss the Best Director of the Golden Goblet Award this time.

......

"Hahahaha!"

Ning Jingshan laughed heartily.

This "Wilderness" is naturally his work that he brought to the film festival this time.

It has always been a grain of nothing, and Li Yuchang, who won the best photography, gave him a mockery in his eyes.

At this time, he finally won a heavyweight award.

It's kind of an eyebrow.

first hugged his male lead, then looked at Li Yuchang's direction defiantly, and raised his eyebrows at the other party.

"What's so magical!"

"It's like he's won the award himself."

Li Yuchang whispered.

In fact, I can't see my old rival in the limelight.

Otherwise, although he didn't win the award, winning the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor must be a great affirmation of the movie itself.

But here, in fact, whether it is Li Yuchang or Ning Jingshan, neither of them has ever been very nervous.

Because for directors, in fact, the biggest honor is naturally the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director.

Both of them have been shortlisted for this award before, but without exception, they have been reduced to running along.

This time the Shanghai Film Festival finally had no works from the directors of the super-first-line literary films, and it was the one with the greatest hope of the two of them winning the award.

It is impossible for the two not to pay attention.

After the award method for the actor was completed, the award for the best actress was presented.

However, because of "Hello! There are not too many heroines in "Mr. Tree", and it is also because the tree played by Liu Baofeng is the core attraction of this movie, and the light of other characters is almost obscured.

Therefore, the actress award, whether it is the previous media award or the Golden Goblet Award in the final main competition unit, was not shortlisted.

By this time, the Shanghai Film Festival Awards Ceremony had basically come to an end.

Only the last two most important awards remain, Best Director and Best Picture.

Even if he had already guessed the result, Chen Jinyu still had some hope at this time.

After all, it's the best director and the best picture, and not everyone who is shortlisted wants to win the award.

"Shanghai Film Festival, Best Director of the Golden Goblet Award in the main competition unit, ...... shortlisted"

The five shortlisted directors began to play on the big screen.

The number of nominees for Best Director is not fixed.

Or that most of the finalists for these awards at the Shanghai Film Festival are not certain.

The jury, on the other hand, will include all those who are qualified to be shortlisted according to their own criteria.

And if there are too few awards, there will be two or three people competing for an award.

But in the history of the Shanghai Film Festival, it seems that it has never appeared.

On the contrary, there was a year when the number of Best Director finalists reached a terrifying eleven, that year is also known as the year of death, and the number of literary films has increased suddenly, and there are many excellent ones.

Pick out a few at random, in fact, it is also a level that can win awards in previous years.

Li Yuchang and Ning Jingshan were much more nervous than Chen Jinyu at this time.

Chen Jinyu won the Best Director at the Media Awards, so he basically didn't have much hope.

But Li Yuchang felt that it was either himself or Ning Jingshan, an old rival, who won the award this time.

Others weren't really threatening.

The previous dark horse's "hello! Mr. Tree" because it has won the media award, so there should be no need to be afraid of any more upsets.

"The 31st Shanghai Film Festival, Main Competition Unit, Golden Goblet Award for Best Director......"

“《hello! Mr. Tree", Chen Jinyu! ”

......

When the award presenter opened the winner's envelope, his expression was a little weird.

But not many people on the scene noticed this.

When the name of the winner of Best Director came out, the scene fell into an eerie silence for a short time.

It took about ten seconds before someone reacted and began to applaud.

"How could it be ?!!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"It's not Ning Jingshan, and it's not me?"

"Hasn't this Chen Jinyu already won the best director of the previous media awards?"

"What the hell are these guys on the jury of the Shanghai Film Festival!!

Li Yuchang's expression at this time was not only in disbelief.

I am also constantly roaring filial piety in my heart.

He couldn't figure it out, he just felt a little surprised after seeing it, but he still had some disdain for Xu Ji's movies in his heart.

After he secretly ran to see it for the second time, he had an ominous premonition, but he didn't expect it to work.

Took the Golden Goblet Award from his hands?

Not only was Li Yuchang surprised, but in fact, many people at the scene did not expect such a result.

Although it is not a person who has not won the two best directors in the main competition unit and the media award in history, it has only happened twice in the history of the Shanghai Film Festival for more than 30 years.

And it was only at that time that preparations for the film festival began, and there were not many films signed up for it.

Although there are no very clear regulations, it is basically a common thing not to win the Golden Goblet Award if you win the Media Award.

I didn't expect it to happen this time on such a movie that most people didn't notice and hadn't seen.

Ning Jingshan's mood at this time was actually a little complicated, but he couldn't accept it like Li Yuchang.

After all, he's seen this "hello! Mr. Tree", which still has a good idea of the quality of its films.

Although I don't feel inferior to the other party, it's not unacceptable to beat myself to win an award for such a movie.

The most important thing is that although he didn't win the award, seeing Li Yuchang's expression as if he had eaten Shi at this time, he was in a much better mood.

As for the winner Chen Jinyu, he himself was stunned.

He didn't even think that he would win the award, and at this time he was like a dream.

This is the Golden Goblet Award?

He, a driver who has driven a large truck for more than 20 years, left home halfway, and came to make movies at this time on a whim, for the so-called dream.

The doubts from his family and the ridicule of the people around him made Li Yuchang doubt himself many times.

At that time, he was just thinking about making a decent movie.

As a result, now, he has won such a domestic heavyweight award as the Golden Goblet Award?

It's a little incredible.

It didn't feel like a dream anymore, because even if it was, he probably wouldn't dare to dream something that seemed completely unrealistic.

However, although he won the Best Director Award in the main competition unit, the doubts on the scene have not disappeared.

Many people are talking in whispers.

"The jury broke the rules", "I'm afraid it's not shady!" "What kind of tree does this Mr. deserve it?" ”......

Many people have not seen this movie, so they subconsciously feel that Chen Jinyu's award is a little unrealistic.

It is estimated that the film festival will be over by then, and in "Hello! Before the release of "Mr. Tree", there will still be a lot of rumors.

Even if it is released, it will happen to deliberately smear because of red eyes.

The literati are light, in fact, it is not on these directors who make literary films.

If it is Li Yuchang or Ning Jingshan, because of the qualifications of the two, there is no criticism.

But obviously, Chen Jinyu, who was wearing a cheap suit and standing on the podium and stumbling and saying his acceptance speech, was obviously not convincing.

Although Chen Jinyu's award caused a small riot, no one openly disrupted the order of the awards.

At this time, the awards are still over, and the final best picture has not yet been announced.

Of course, after seeing the shortlist, the familiar "hello! Mr. Tree", many people were momentarily stunned.

Someone at the scene suddenly said:

"Mr. Tree won't continue to win Best Picture, right?"

The voice of the speech is not small, and the people around him hear it.

Li Yuchang's emotions that finally calmed down a little suddenly became tense.

This time for the best film, his work was also shortlisted.

......
