Chapter 270: Receiving the award in three or five years

The Shanghai International Film Festival opened on June 5 and ended on June 13.

As soon as the sun rose on the fifth, Li Shengyao got up, then went downstairs to exercise for an hour, returned to the hotel, took a shower, and then went out with Dong Xuan.

This batch of co-productions in '04.

Xiangnan Satellite TV is "The Temptation to Go Home", Hucheng Satellite TV is "Thinking of You", and Gusu Satellite TV is "My University".

Needless to say, "The Temptation to Go Home" is a divine drama, and Shonan Satellite TV values it very much, but there are too many episodes, and it should not be filmed until August.

"Missing You" is a love and abuse drama starring Park Youtian and Park Eun-hye, with an average rating of 11% in 2012.

At this time, smartphones were prevalent, and the ratings of TV dramas in various countries dropped sharply, and the ratings of "Missing You" ranked eighth in the year.

"My University" is borrowed from the Korean drama "Dream high", which is a Korean drama that reflects the trainees' efforts for their dreams, and the word-of-mouth ratings on the peninsula are good.

Starring Bae so-ji, Kim so-hyun, IU and others.

Tell about love and growth.

There is a second part later, and a group of people have been replaced, and the word-of-mouth ratings are also very good.

Dong Xuan finished filming the drama and completed the dubbing, so he could accompany Li Shengyao during this time.

Two people with caps and masks came to Shanghai Cinema.

This cinema belongs to the Shanghai region, and all international film festivals have been held here.

After buying a ticket, the two of them sat down and watched a movie hand in hand, and the first movie they watched was "The Price" from Persia.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is very popular with filmmakers from some countries with weak cultural communication.

Like Persia, like Airran, like Mosesgo, like Reiodine.

The art films of these countries are good, but even if they are sold at the box office in their home countries, it is difficult to recover the cost, and if they can be sold at the festival, they can make a lot of money.

With first-class film festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Berlin, it is difficult to stand out from the crowd of literary films from all over the world.

On the contrary, second-rate film festivals such as East Longitude and Shanghai City do not have so many competitors, and the island countries and the Chinese film market are okay and easier to sell.

Almost every Shanghai International Film Festival has excellent Persian films.

This year's festival is no exception.

In the end, "The Price" will win Best Director.

Censorship in Persia was similar to that in the interior, and relatively harsh, if not more severe.

Their capital and market are far inferior to those in the mainland, but Persian filmmakers are still very good.

In the rise of Korean films, compared to the historical honor of films, Persian films rank third in Asia after the island nation and China.

Persian films pay more attention to the expression of emotions, and almost do not show off their skills, that is, they tell stories seriously, sincere and delicate.

Their movies are perfect for one to calm down and watch slowly.

"The Price" tells the story of a poor mountainous area where logging is prohibited, but the land is not suitable for cultivation, and the villagers have to rely on logging to survive.

The father secretly cut wood and was caught.

The police officer who captured him was also his daughter's fiancé.

His son is still in elementary school, and in order to subsidize the family, he secretly sends saws to the villagers who are logging to make money.

During an accidental operation, his homework book fell to the ground with his name on it, and he was arrested by the police.

This suffering family has been hit one after another.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" tells about poverty, and "The Price" tells about the impact of poverty on life.

Lee Shengyao personally likes this movie very much.

In the next few days, he also watched movies such as "Beautiful Shanghai", "Jasmine Blossom", and "Scandal", and he studied at Shanghai Cinema at the rate of three movies a day.

"Beautiful Shanghai City" is Wang Taoxian's masterpiece, there is no problem with the concept and editing the cinematography soundtrack, that is, the director uses the original voice of the actor to dub, there are Yanjing dialect, Cantonese Mandarin, Shanghai dialect, it sounds awkward.

In addition, the plot is too bland, and several characters almost divide the time equally, which is quite hurtful.

The film will take home the best film at this year's film festival.

Li Shengyao felt that it was too high, if it wasn't for the good title, he wouldn't have had such a high honor.

After he watches the movie, he will make a record, just like a movie like "The Price", which may not be able to get a high box office, but it is very suitable for some young people to watch.

Wu Siyuan's UME Cinema, in addition to playing popular movies, will also play some old Hong Kong films from time to time.

This is more diversified and adaptable to different viewing groups.

Li Shengyao plans to learn this, and in the future, Fenghua Cinema will not only play the current blockbusters, but also leave a few small halls to play some moving feature films, just like "The Price".

He will arrange for someone to contact someone on the side of "The Price", and he will buy the permanent broadcast rights in the mainland within 100,000 dollars.

……

At 7:30 p.m. on June 13, 2004, Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan attended the Shanghai International Film Festival Awards Gala together.

This time the awards party was star-studded, and many celebrities came over, such as Cheng Long, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Manyu, Liu Dehua, and Lao Mouzi.

Lee Shengyao's seat is still in the first row, but it is on the side.

He will be the guest of honor tonight, presenting the Jury Award with Zhang Manyu.

He sat down in the audience and waited for the award to be presented later.

The Jury Award can be regarded as the second best "Work Award", second only to the best film, and the award partner is Zhang Manyu, and the Shanghai International Film Festival still gives Li Shengyao enough face.

Soon after, the awards party officially began.

After about forty minutes, it was Li Shengyao's turn to present the award, and he came backstage and met Zhang Manyu.

Zhang Manyu has lost a lot of weight at this time, and she will become the god of Asian actresses in September this year, relying on "Clean" to win the Cannes film, and no actress can compare to her than awards.

However, at the beginning of this year, that is, during the filming of "Cleaning", she divorced her husband by agreement.

It's probably because it's cold at a high place, and it's probably because I don't find it challenging.

Zhang Manyu will stop filming since then, and only made cameo appearances for a minute or two in two movies.

Li Shengyao felt that it was a pity, if Zhang Manyu was like Meryl. Streep acted like that until she was old, and with her acting skills, her honor should be even more dazzling.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be persuaded.

Li Shengyao and Zhang Manyu exchanged a few words, then waited for a while, and then went out together.

Before the awards, the two award presenters usually have a few awkward conversations, and this time is no different.

"Director Li, I heard that Ling will make a movie next, do you think you can come to win the award next year, or the year after?"

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "I hope I can win the award, but the next year will be too fast, three or five years later." ”

"You're too modest."

Li Shengyao glanced at the audience and saw Lao Mouzi, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen, "The world film industry is full of talents, I am a late learner, I said three or five years, there must be many people who say that I am arrogant, and I myself am weak-minded, so I can only say try my best." ”

The two then presented the prize, this time with the Grand Jury Prize for "Scandal," a Peninsula film.

After Lee Shengyao presented the award, he returned backstage and then returned to his own seat.

The host Kefan, a fat man, came to the stage, "Director Li, don't be arrogant for three or five years, I hope to see you receive the award here next year." ”

The camera focused on Li Shengyao, who smiled and nodded.
