Chapter 202: Special Audience
To enter the film festival, you must make an appointment in advance, and you must be an industry insider, or a film and television student can also come in to watch the film through the relationship of the professor.
A few steps into the festival's Grand Theater, Kei Fujiwara met several students from Tokyo University of Literature and Arts. Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno each took a timetable for the screening of the film, and the broadcast time of "Suddenly Looking Back" was to premiere at four o'clock this afternoon, in Cinema No. 4.
Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno looked at the timetable in their hands and decided which movie they wanted to see. For a viewer, choosing a good-looking movie is more or less gambling.
Therefore, most viewers will judge whether a movie is good or not by observing whether it has their favorite directors and actors, or what the reputation is.
However, these films at the festival were all shot by unknown directors and passers-by actors, and Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno were still the first audiences of the festival, and no one gave them lightning protection, so they had to watch the movies in blind boxes.
Through the movie name and a one-sentence movie introduction, you can find a movie that you are slightly interested in.
By the way, the one-sentence introduction of "Suddenly Looking Back" is: a love letter to the creator. Kei Fujiwara scratched his scalp, isn't this a little too literary and peaceful?
In other words, he was a passerby, and he had no interest in walking into the theater to watch the movie at all. But on second thought, this is not a commercial film after all.
Film screenings are for awards, and it is not important how many audiences they can attract, the main task is to attract special guests in the crowd.
There are a total of 18 special audiences, that is, the reviewers who decide which film will win the award, and these reviewers have the task of watching all the participating films regardless of whether they are interested or not.
Aside from the reviewers, the general audience is mostly made up of film critics, independent filmmakers and some media journalists.
They also give their professional opinion on the film, but unlike the reviewers, they don't have a task on their side, so they don't have to watch the whole film.
I will only pick the films shot by my acquaintances, or the films that have gradually improved in the past ten days.
In this film festival, they are more like a group of ordinary audiences, who watch the films selectively.
Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno have different tastes in watching movies, and the two chose different films to watch, so they were temporarily separated.
However, after walking a few steps, I heard a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, Fujiwara-san, what a coincidence, I actually met you here." "Fujiwara Keiko followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Hidaka Junaki.
Hidaka Junaki is a fat man with a mustache and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his personal image is very eye-catching. He walked over to Kei Fujiwara with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations, "Homeless Child" has entered the historical ratings, and I have also watched that work, it is really a good drama." ”
"Thank you......" Kei Fujiwara smiled and shook hands with Atsuaki Hidaka, originally wanting to say something
"Tongxi", but it always felt like mockery, so I shut up.
"Is Hidaka-san a reviewer for the second round of films at the festival?" Kei Fujiwara asked.
"Yes." Hidaka Junmeichi,
"The organizer was a good friend of mine, and he invited me to be a special guest audience, so I had to take a few days to come over and see what the young people were working like."
"I see." Kei Fujiwara laughed. Hidaka Junaki is also really a wonderful person, in order to fight the ratings war with Fujiwara Kei [Moon Nine], it can be said that it is unceremonious to speak in front of the media, and I can't wait to describe Fujiwara Kei as a person who has no heroes and becomes famous in the world.
And in the process of the ratings war, he also used off-screen tricks, but don't say that it was a coincidence, no one believed it. However, after the smoke of the war, he was able to come to greet Fujiwara Kei without any psychological burden, just like a friend who has known each other for many years, I have to say that Fujiwara Kei is ashamed of his ability to do it himself.
"Wasn't Fujiwara-sensei specially invited?"
"No, just for personal interest." Keido Fujiwara,
"By the way, let's see if there are any great people."
"It seems that Fujiwara-sensei's legion is about to grow again, and the [Moon Nine] plan seems to be really unstoppable." Hidaka shook his head and said.
"I just hope that I don't have another opponent like Hydaka in the same period, and I'm thankful."
"The general of the defeated army is not brave enough, and I admire Fujiwara-sensei quite a lot." Hidaka Junming said seriously at this time,
"By the way, I heard that Fujiwara-sensei's contract at Fukuyamadai is only two years? So is it going to end this time next year? Kei Fujiwara was silent.
Although it is true, he is still a person from Fukuyamadai after all, and while he is still under contract, he has spread all over the world that his contract has one year to expire, which may violate the spirit of the contract.
"It seems so." Hidaka Junaki said,
"In this case, I hope that we can give TTV a chance when the time comes, a talent like Fujiwara-sensei, Fukuyamatai can give you, we can all of our TTV production bureau, as long as Fujiwara-sensei makes it, we will not refuse any request!" This is a bit exaggerated, could it be that Kei Fujiwara said that he wanted to be the director, and they could agree?
But it's a sincere statement, just as the writers who created "The Heirs" once received a blank check from their boss.
It's a real blank check, and you can fill in the amount of the check. The boss can fill in whatever you want, but you can't really fill in casually, you fill in 100 billion, and the boss won't pick out your brains.
"Thank you for your love." Keido Fujiwara,
"But I'm still a staff member of Fukuyamadai, so it's inconvenient to talk about this."
"Understand, understand. Mr. Fujiwara is not only excellent in ability, but also valuable in character. It would be an honor for me to work with you. ”
"You're wrong." The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and then separated. Kei Fujiwara walked into a movie theater, sat down and watched at a random place, and looked around, many media people.
Some people are quite serious, holding a notebook in their hands, recording the advantages and disadvantages of the movie. Soon, the movie began, it was a long story, and after less than fifteen minutes of watching, Kei Fujiwara was a little drowsy.
It's kind of what Nagaji Ohno meant before. Many idle viewers gradually became a little unbearable and left directly.
Kei Fujiwara endured the whole process, then glanced at the reviewer with the notebook not far away, and craned his neck to see what he wrote.
I can vaguely see what is written in the notebook: the story is mediocre, the rhythm is messy, the shots are rough, the soundtrack is inconsistent, and there is no merit.
It's really a death sentence pronounced word for word. Kei Fujiwara stood up and headed to the next theater. After watching a movie, some people are already discussing different movies shown at the same time in different theaters.
Since most of the people who come here to watch the movie are industry insiders, and no matter how bad they are, they are also college students majoring in film, so their views are more professional and their evaluations are more accurate.
"The one I watched was also average, didn't there be a better work?"
"Mine was good. I'm from Hall 1. ”
"What's next?"
"Hmm...... Let me see...... Tetsuya Iwai's "Lucky" seems to be screened in half an hour. This is still a student director, and his work won the Encouragement Award last year, but I think it was the best of all the Encouragement Awards. Do you want to wait for his movie, or go to watch something else first. ”
"Wait a minute, my boyfriend watched this work at the East Literature and Art School Festival.,I heard that the shooting was pretty good.,I hope to win the first place this year.。
"Eastern Literature and Art...... A friend of mine who is also a Tobuni student told me that Kei Fujiwara from his school would also participate in the film festival this year, so he should be a strong opponent. ”
"Kei Fujiwara? Which Kei Fujiwara? ”
"Kei Fujiwara, you don't know? The one with the pen name Sima Guitai is also the main creator and screenwriter of the Fushan Taiyue Nine Drama in recent years. ”
