Chapter 64 New Script

However, winning an award is something that is decided subjectively by the judges.

Especially at the three major European film festivals with more than a dozen judges, if a film can win an award, it may be the product of the strong promotion of one of the judges.

Different year, different judges.

Even if it is the same work, it is very likely to have a different ending.

Whether it’s playing around with lighting, color, or story structure, if you’re a filmmaker, you can’t avoid it.

If you want Gong Xing to be the heroine, she must have enough scenes and be filmed in Hong Kong Island...

Huang Ze took out the sunglasses he always carried with him to cover his face and put them on, which made the scene more artistic.

Then, he lit a cigarette, held the pen in his right hand, and held the cigarette near his ear with his left hand. The smoke slowly rose and condensed into a beautiful picture.

This story tells the story of a pair of neighbors.

A man and a woman, the man is named Zhou Muyun and the woman is named Su Lizhen, both are married.

What’s sad is that their significant others cheated on them.

The two began to contact each other, act out scenes, and imitate their own experiences of cheating, but after all, they were not their other half, and they did not take that step and cheat.

In terms of the story, there is nothing much to praise about this film, which I watched more than a hundred times in my previous life. It is just about the implicit and fruitless love between a married man and woman.

What is important is the light and shadow, the unique oriental aesthetics.

The film has an indescribable old Shanghai feel.

It just suits my hometown, and I took the photos myself, and no one can say anything.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Four words appeared on the paper.

"In the Mood for Love".

In Huang Ze's previous life, the latest issue of "Sight and Sound" magazine selected the top 100 film history lists. In the top 100 list selected by directors, In the Mood for Love ranked ninth.

According to the results of the film critics' selection, "In the Mood for Love" ranked fifth.

Following closely behind were Jeanne Dielman, Vertigo, Citizen Kane and Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story.

It has also influenced many films to learn light and shadow composition, such as "Moonlight".

By reproducing this film, Huang Ze believes that his position in the film industry will be established.

Thinking of this, Huang Ze's hands quickened as he wrote the script.

There aren’t many lines in In the Mood for Love.

In addition, Huang Ze has played the film hundreds of times and has an outstanding memory, so the film is engraved in his mind frame by frame, and he writes it down very smoothly.

I started writing in the evening, and the script was finished the next night.

"Ok!"

Huang Ze put the paper on the script with satisfaction, and thought of the most important male protagonist of the film in his mind.

Forget about Liang Chaowei from the previous life, I didn’t like him either. Even if I looked for him, he was too young. He is still a young hunk now.

After thinking about it, another face in a suit appeared in his mind, and Huang Ze nodded slightly.

He is okay.

Now that the male and female protagonists have been decided, there will be no problem with the actors in this film.

Looking at the watch, it was already ten o'clock, so Huang Ze went to bed to rest, as he had an important task tomorrow.

……

The next day. The screening room of Shanghai Film Studio.

A group of factory directors, deputy factory directors, and directors were sitting here. Huang Ze was among them. He and Director Xu stood on either side, sandwiching the kind-looking middle-aged man who came to inspect. They watched "Good Will Hunting" again together.

When the film ended, the other party clapped, and everyone followed suit.

"nice!"

"This film is very innovative, no wonder it won an award! It can generate millions of foreign exchange for the country."

"Director Xu! You must keep up the good work and make sure that the films produced by Shanghai Film Studio can go abroad and become international."

"Movies like Good Will Hunting, which have both fame and fortune, are a good example."

"Yes, we will definitely bring more films to the international film scene in the future." Director Xu nodded repeatedly.

After talking to Director Xu, the other party turned his attention to Huang Ze, "Not bad, promising, with the vigor of a young man. You have set a precedent for our domestic film industry."

"No, I just had a little better luck." Huang Ze said, "This is all thanks to everyone. I just did a small job."

"Excessive modesty is actually pride." The kind middle-aged man smiled, "Do you think I knew nothing before I came here? I know more than you think."

"You are a very talented young man."

"And he has made a name for himself in the United States. Not bad, not bad."

"But you have to remember that when you go out and become famous, you are like a business card for our country. Think more about what you do. You are not just yourself..."

The other party said a lot, Huang Ze could only agree repeatedly, saying "keep it in mind."

After giving instructions for a few minutes, the topic was turned back to movies. "If possible, you can still return to China to make films. There are not many young directors in our country, and even fewer in Shanghai Film Studio. It's hard to find a young person as talented as you."

"I think Director Xu will fully support you if you want to make a film in the country."

"That's for sure." Director Xu nodded. "Huang Ze is an outstanding young director from our factory after all."

"I will too."

Huang Ze certainly can.

Going abroad to make money does not mean that Huang Ze has to give up his influence in the country.

Therefore, it is necessary to come back and shoot a film every two years.

Even after finishing "In the Mood for Love", Huang Ze wanted to come back and make a movie he had always wanted to make.

Of course, at that time I will not just be a director, but a collaborator. I will provide the money and the director, you will provide the manpower, and we will split the profits in half.

In short, I can no longer earn only a few hundred yuan in director's fees. Even if I donate all the money I earn, I still can't get less than what I deserve.

In fact, even so, it is equivalent to giving concessions to old factories.

but……

Just give in. Some things cannot be measured by money alone and may be much more valuable than money.

Moreover, I know that the future belongs to the Internet era, and I know the advantages of those Internet companies with huge potential. Now that I have the first pot of gold, there is really no need to fight for every penny.

Making appropriate concessions, making more friends and fewer enemies, and making it good for you, me and everyone, is obviously the most appropriate approach for yourself.

Money is something you can never make enough of.

Billions and hundreds of billions are yours, but hundreds of billions are not just yours.

As for the trillion-dollar level, you are at best a steward. This is the case in any country, unless it is some monarchy, where you have to be the monarch.

……

After watching the movie, he went around other places again. During this time, a man in his early thirties who looked like a secretary walked up to Huang Ze and handed him a business card, "Call me at this number if you have anything." After saying that, he hurriedly followed.
