"The three major film festivals in Europe!"

As soon as he heard this term, Fang Yan's heart began to burn.

The three major film festivals in Europe refer to the Cannes International Film Festival in France, the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, and the Venice International Film Festival in Italy.

These three film festivals, together with Citigroup's Academy Awards, are the most influential awards in the world film industry.

Among them, the Oscars pay more attention to the political and commercial factors of the film, and the three major film festivals insist on artistry as the highest indicator.

In the current era, it can be said that there are only a handful of Chinese people who can win the main competition awards of the three major European film festivals.

In terms of directors, why are Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige famous and high-status? In addition to the old qualifications, the main reason is that they have won these awards.

Think about Brother Chen Kai, he has been going downhill since "Farewell My Concubine" won the award.

Films such as "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin", "Wuji", and "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" either lost money and made a fortune, or they had a bad reputation.

Even so, Chen Kaige was able to get big investment later and continue to make blockbusters.

What is the reason for this? It's not because they're award-winning directors!

I have the Cannes Palme d'Or in hand, who of you little directors can compare to me?

Of course, I also have to say a word of conscience here, Chen Kaige is not very good at making films, but he is very good at building a cinema, and the investor can slowly make up for the box office loss by relying on the income from tourist tickets.

Although the Short Film Award is an inconspicuous small award, if it is linked to the three major European film festivals, the gold content is not ordinary.

"Teacher Zhang, what you just said is true?"

"Nonsense, what's the good of fooling you kid!"

Zhang Jiandong put down the script in his hand and said with a serious face: "Your script is very well written, whether it is the setting of the characters or the lines of the dialogue, it is very in line with the aesthetics of Westerners!" ”

I have to say that Zhang Jiandong's professional level is indeed high, and he said the true meaning in one sentence.

The short film "The Tuner" was originally a French director's work, so the sense of Western style is naturally very strong.

"Listening to your words, I have the bottom in my heart!"

Fang Yan patted his chest and said seriously: "For the honor of Didian's school, I must work hard and strive to win the award!" ”

"Hmph, don't be too happy!"

Zhang Jiandong sneered and poured a basin of cold water on it.

"Just because the script is good doesn't mean the movie is good! How many good scripts are there, but in the end they are made into bad movies by the director! ”

That's right, for a movie, the script determines the lower limit of the film, and the director determines the upper limit of the film.

An excellent script is like a diamond, and only after being polished by the director will it become a brilliant diamond in the end.

If the director's level is not good, this diamond will be cut and broken, and eventually become worthless scrap.

After seeing the script of "The Tuner", Zhang Jiandong had a love for talent, and asked: "How ready are you for this short film?" Have you found the actors? ”

Fang Yan smiled and replied: "I have also just started to prepare, and at present, only the actress of the female murderer is basically set. ”

Zhang Jiandong asked with interest: "Who are you looking for?"

"Yu Nan, from the 95th performance department of our school."

"Yu Nan? Sounds familiar! ”

Zhang Jiandong lowered his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "I remember, Lao Xie once mentioned her, saying that she was the most uneasy student in the class. ”

Lao Xie here refers to Xie Yuan, the head teacher of the 95th class of the acting department and one of the three musketeers of mainland comedy.

Yu Nan was personally recruited by Xie Yuan, and it can be said that he is his protégé.

For her proud protégé, Xie Yuan feels both love and hate, Yu Nan is always a maverick, she has a withdrawn personality, and she often can't find someone who is willing to form a group with her.

Zhang Jiandong frowned, a little dissatisfied: "Why did you find a thorn?" ”

Fang Yan smiled and said, "I'm also a thorn!" Isn't it interesting to have two students with questions together! ”

"Alas...... Take your liking! ”

Zhang Jiandong sighed, feeling a little tired: "The two roles of the male protagonist and his boss, do you have any preliminary plans for the actor?" ”

"Well...... The male protagonist hasn't thought about it yet, but the male protagonist's boss has an actor candidate! ”

Zhang Jiandong lit a cigarette and took a slow puff.

"Who do you want to find to play the male lead boss?"

"Far away, close at hand!"

After speaking, Fang Yan stared at Zhang Jiandong with eyes full of meaning.

"Ahem, ahem...... You're looking for me?! ”

Zhang Jiandong choked violently, and the cigarette in his hand was scared away.

"That's right!" Fang Yan said flatteringly: "Teacher Zhang, you are from the acting department, and your age is also appropriate, don't look for who you are looking for!" ”

"No, I haven't acted in years!"

"It doesn't matter, I believe in your strength!"

……

After Fang Yan was soft and hard for a while, Zhang Jiandong finally reluctantly agreed.

"The other roles are easy to say, the male protagonist is the top priority, you must choose well!"

Regarding the selection of the male lead, Fang Yan and Zhang Jiandong had a heated discussion, and they have not discussed a suitable actor.

There is no way, the students in school are too young and their acting skills are not enough, so they can only find professional actors outside.

"There you have it, I've got you figured out!"

Zhang Jiandong slapped his thigh hard, and said to Fang Yan: "Is there anything tonight?" It's okay, let's make an appointment! ”

"Huh?!" Fang Yan looked confused, revealing a black man's question mark expression.

…………

8 p.m., Huaxia Youth Art Theatre.

The drama performed tonight is Mr. Cao Yu's famous work "Thunderstorm".

"Teacher Zhang, why did you take me to watch the drama?"

"Young man, don't be in a hurry!"

Zhang Jiandong pretended to be mysterious, bought a ticket and took Fang Yan into the theater, found a seat and sat down.

"Could it be that you said that the candidate is a drama actor?"

As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, the lights of the theater went out instantly, and the curtain on the stage slowly opened.

Zhang Jiandong made a booing gesture: "Watch the drama first, and then talk about it later!" ”

Fang Yan nodded, put aside the doubts in his mind first, and began to look at the drama seriously.

The Huaxia Youth Art Theater is worthy of the highest level of national drama performances, and every actor in it is a powerful faction, and the acting is so infectious, which makes the audience fascinated.

When the drama ended, the actors began to take the stage for a curtain call, and the applause was thunderous, and Fang Yan also applauded vigorously.

"How's it going, is it enjoyable to watch?"

Zhang Jiandong asked while clapping.

Fang Yan gave a thumbs up: "It's worth the trip!" ”

"That's good!" Zhang Jiandong smiled slightly, pointed to an actor on the stage and said, "That's the person I'm talking about!" ”
