Entertainment, I just like making movies

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was moved and looked at the Film Association and the organizing committee members who currently preside over the three major awards.

There was nothing wrong with Chen Daren's questioning.

Indeed, in recent years, Chinese film and television awards have deteriorated.

No longer pure, no longer about art.

Instead, it has become a stage for certain organizers and funders to obtain gold medals.

Generally speaking, the three major awards in recent years have become significantly more commercial.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about this!

Regardless of the three major awards, such as Changchun Film Festival, Magic City International Film Festival, or Teito University Film Festival, they do not have the ability to hold awards themselves.

In layman's terms, it means that the award organizing committee has no money.

When major film festivals hold events, they usually first decide on a city to host the event, and then select sponsors and funders.

That way, there's a lot of room for maneuver.

A certain city has gained popularity through the film festival, and its sponsors and funders have also gained fame and expanded their influence.

When it comes to a specific award, if someone from a sponsor or funder is selected, the organizing committee will definitely have to consider it.

It’s hard to truly balance a bowl of water!

Not only China's film awards, but also film festivals around the world, it is impossible to be completely fair and impartial.

Oscar, Cannes, and Venice, the three most famous international awards, all have survivorship bias as well.

Chen Daren's attack shocked the members of the Film Association and the organizing committees of the three major awards and made them look quite embarrassed.

The leaders on the stage also looked serious. They had no good solution to this problem.

It is difficult to balance art and business at the same time, and the issue of awards has always been a long-standing shortcoming in the industry.

"Everyone can understand that the film festival is partly commercial. After all, it costs a lot of money to hold an award. However, we can't keep pursuing commercialization!"

"Haha, it's a film festival, sit in rows and share the fruits!"

Chen Daren snorted coldly, pursued him fiercely, stared at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards square and curled his lips with disdain: "As long as your organizing committee can raise the threshold a little bit and filter out those who are cheating, the authority and fairness of the film festival will not be reduced. It’s to the point where everyone is shouting to be beaten and everyone is swearing!”

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting suddenly became restless.

Everyone in Fang Ziheng's row looked at Chen Daren with admiration.

Awesome!

Director Chen is awesome!

At this time, Chen Daren looked cold and condescending, as if he was a soldier on the battlefield.

He bit the Golden Rooster Award organizing committee and vowed to get an explanation from them.

As early as last year when he held a work meeting, he wanted to start a rant. At that time, Jia Zhangke and Zhang Weiping teamed up to attack Fang Ziheng, but they did not find a chance for him.

He couldn't miss it this year, he had to take a dip in this muddy water!

swipe

A series of eyes followed, once again pressing towards the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee.

boom!

A sound of slamming on the table suddenly sounded.

The head of the Film Association, Kang Jianmin, stood up, slapped his palm on the table, glared at Chen Daren and said hatefully: "Old Chen, just say what you say, who are you glaring at!"

Damn it!

Just fire, why are you staring at me?

I'm messing with you!

Kang Jianmin quit.

As the group secretary of the Film Association and an important member of the organizing committee of several consecutive Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, he couldn't bear to hear Daren Chen's one-sided words!

Isn't it because the Golden Rooster Awards didn't give you an award for two consecutive years, making your trip in vain? Why are you so angry?

Kang Jianmin secretly scolded Chen Daren for not following the rules.

The movie you made yourself is not good, so you blame the organizing committee.

As if he understood what he was thinking, Daren Chen chuckled: "Lao Kang, you don't think I deliberately caused trouble for the organizing committee because I haven't won an award in two years."

Isn't it?

In the Golden Rooster Awards square, several people were blushing and glaring at Chen Daren like a god of plague.

Daren Chen was too lazy to look at the items. He turned around and handed over to the leaders at the front desk, saying righteously: "Leader, I, Old Chen, are just a director. I raised the issue of film festival awards today with absolutely no selfish motives and no respect for the person."

“I sincerely hope that in the future our country’s film festivals will become better and better, become more authoritative, and become a world-famous major award, instead of becoming a ridiculously generous pheasant award coerced by some unscrupulous capital! "

After saying that, he smiled lightly and took his seat peacefully.

At this moment, Chen Daren's literary and artistic aura was overwhelming, like a clear breeze and bright moon, resting between the mountains and rivers.

Bang bang bang.

Thunderous applause broke out.

No matter what Chen Daren's purpose is, his words just now pointed out the shortcomings of major film festivals and lifted the fig leaf.

Fang Ziheng applauded Chen Daren while secretly analyzing the reasons for his firing.

After much deliberation, I guess it should have been at the 2009 Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony.

At that award ceremony, Lao Chen failed to gain anything, which made the media ridicule him so much that he almost couldn't get off the stage.

In the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards held in Jiangyin last year, "The Orphan of Zhao" was not released and did not participate in the competition.

This year it’s Hefei’s turn to host the event, and given the poor nature of the organizing committee, even if “The Orphan of Zhao” is in the running, it’s probably going to be a running mate.

Lao Chen took the lead in firing. He was flipping the table. He was not going to play with the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards!

Anyway, Lao Chen is famous and has a high status. Even if the Golden Rooster Award is annoying, it can't do anything to him.

I remember that in 19 years of my previous life, Lao Chen stood on his head and became the director of the jury for the 32nd Golden Rooster Awards.

That year, "Cat Demon" made some achievements, winning the 'Best Art Award' and 'Best Photography Award'.

I have to say that Lao Chen is quite awesome.

Why don't you give me an award? I'll change my identity and come over to be your leader. You can figure it out on your own!

Fang Ziheng quickly understood the key and was secretly happy.

The applause stopped.

The deputy leader of the Propaganda Department gave a few words to the Film Association, asking major film festivals to stick to their bottom lines and set an example for the Chinese film industry.

When the leader spoke, Kang Jianmin, one of the representatives of the Film Association, stood up and expressed his stance, claiming that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards would never be reduced to a tool of capital, and the selection of awards must be open, transparent, fair and just.

The first round of firing is over!

The leader knocked on the microphone, looked at everyone with a smile, and said calmly: "Continue speaking, who will come next?"

swipe

Seven people, Feng Tongtong, Jia Zhangke, Lu Chuan, Jiang Wen, Wu Kebo, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, raised their hands at the same time.

Jia Zhangke and Lu Chuan stood up again, which was particularly eye-catching.

As expected, the leader on the stage directly named him.

"Director Jia, come here. You have won awards overseas many times. It's just time to tell everyone that it belongs to Chinese culture to go overseas better and faster."

"Thank you, leader!"

Jia Zhangke bowed his hand, and in Lu Chuan's helplessness, he started the second round of firing with high spirits.

"Dear leaders and colleagues, if you want to revitalize Chinese-language films and let Chinese-language films go abroad and go global, literary and artistic films are indispensable!"

As soon as he opens his mouth, Jia Zhang sets the tone!

Develop literary and artistic films!

Many people frowned and were speechless after hearing this.

Come again!

Lao Jia, why are you so stubborn about literary and artistic films?

Wasn't it enough that you were criticized by Fang Ziheng last year?

As if he didn't see the expressions of everyone, Jia Zhang was one of the stable ones and said with a serious expression: "After the development of the past year, the film market has shown a vigorous and enterprising attitude. It has a certain box office support. The popularity of literary and artistic films Spring has officially arrived, and I think we should put most of our focus on literary and artistic films at this time.

With each profound and meaningful work, we will continue to export it to overseas markets and complete our country’s cultural export bit by bit. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Pants was the first to jump out and object: "Director Jia, you said you would focus most of your attention on literary and artistic films, but what about commercial films?"

"Hajiadao doesn't want to rely on your artistic films to block the attack of Hollywood blockbusters!"

Feng Pants held the table with both hands, showing disdain and making a mocking sound.

joke!

Feng Xiaogang is following the path of commercial films. By focusing on literary films, should he also film poor people in impoverished mountainous areas?

His words expressed the feelings of many people present.

Make a silly literary film!

Being directly criticized in the face, Jia Zhang did not get angry but smiled instead, and still talked eloquently: "Director Feng, if I read correctly, your filming of "1942" this year is a semi-commercial and semi-literary film, right?"

"Sorry, you read it wrong. "1942" is a pure disaster movie and a real commercial blockbuster!"

Feng Tongtong raised his eyebrows, giving no chance for Jia Zhangke to take advantage of.

The film market has finally grown up, and this is the time when commercial films like these can show off their talents. They must not deviate from the right path and go down the path of literary and artistic films.

In this life, Feng Pants has not won the annual box office championship and has not achieved impressive results.

"Famous" 820 million and "Edge of Tomorrow" 1.346 billion. Stimulated by these two blockbuster movies, he has now made enough money to reach a higher level of box office.

Naturally, he also characterized "1942" as a commercial blockbuster.

Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng has to be blamed.

I'm afraid he doesn't even know that after several consecutive hit movies, he has unknowingly changed the thinking and development positioning of many filmmakers.

"Director Feng is right, we should continue to support commercial films."

"I support Director Feng. Hollywood blockbusters are imported every year. If there are no commercial films to support them, how can literary and artistic films resist them?"

"Director Jia, just because your film can win awards abroad, it doesn't mean that other people's films can also win awards!"

"That is, according to Director Jia, this is to give up the mainland market to Hollywood movies in exchange for the opportunity for literary and artistic films to win awards abroad!"

With Feng Pants taking the lead, other commercial directors started taking shots.

For a time, all the endless firepower was focused on Jia Zhangke.

Jia Zhangke took a breath of cold air, as if he had eaten a dead child, and his face looked as ugly as possible.

He didn't expect that he would be attacked by the crowd just for mentioning more support for literary and artistic films.

He vowed that he had absolutely no intention of giving up the mainland market to Hollywood.

At this moment, Lu Chuan stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Everyone, you have misunderstood Senior Brother Jia."

"Brother Jia just wants to support literary and artistic films. The current film market is huge and there is enough space to allow commercial and literary genres to go hand in hand. Walking on two legs is the best solution!"

“I know there are many people here who like to make blockbusters, win high box office, and gain both fame and fortune!

This is a good thing. Water goes to lower places and people go to higher places. Everyone wants to live a good material life. "

After saying this, Lu Chuan paused, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he said with an upright expression: "However, we cannot go all the way and only develop commercial films, thereby neglecting the more humanistic spirit, cultural heritage, and educational significance. literary and artistic path.”

Human Spirit!

Cultural inheritance!

meaning of education!

Three nouns in a row, coupled with Lu Chuan's impassioned tone, instantly moved many people at the scene.

Especially the old artists in the front row nodded frequently, saying this deeply in their hearts.

Isn’t the original intention of the movie just to do this better?

After finishing his words, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and slowly scanned the entire conference room to observe everyone's reactions.

The feedback has been great.

Many people had kind smiles on their faces, and some even gave him encouraging looks.

well said!

Filmmakers should be responsible and shoulder the important task of inheriting culture and spreading the humanistic spirit!

After receiving the encouraging feedback, Lu Chuan's self-confidence exploded, and he subconsciously glanced at Fang Ziheng and Jiang Wen with disdain.

How about it?

Are you two convinced by what I say?

Fang Ziheng and Jiang Wen were drunk and looked at Lu Chuan like a fool.

I'm impressed by your sister, I don't really think your words have any weight, do you?

How many of the literary and artistic films in recent years have a humanistic spirit?

Stupid or not!

The two of them smiled coldly, not looking at Lu Chuan's angry face.

Being ignored by the two people, Lu Chuan's heart suddenly burst into flames, like a cat stepping on its tail.

Fang Ziheng and Jiang Wen, you two bastards, how dare you look down on him.

No, you have to give them some color.

Lu Chuan cursed in his heart and quickly recalled the draft he had made in bed last night.

In the manuscript, there happened to be a topic about dealing with Fang Ziheng and Jiang Wen in today's meeting.

Three seconds later.

call.

Lu Chuan let out a filthy breath, his eyes focused, and he was about to fire again.

This time, he aimed his cannon at Fang Ziheng first!

Jiang Min was too domineering, and he didn't dare to criticize him directly for fear of being beaten later.

I have to say that he was thoughtful, at least Fang Ziheng didn't dare to hit him.

However, it is not soft!

Fang Ziheng didn't give him a chance at all, but instead aimed the gun at him one step ahead.

In Lu Chuan's astonishment, Fang Ziheng stood up slowly, looked at him with a smile, and said quietly: "Brother Lu, when you talk about walking on two legs, are you talking about the movie "Nanjing, Nanjing"?"

"Pfft hahaha"

Jiang Wen burst out laughing, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop.

When he smiled, it seemed to be contagious, and everyone in the two rows behind him laughed.

While laughing, these people also gave out resentful glances, complaining that Fang Ziheng told the truth and hit their laughter point.

"Fang Ziheng, don't bully others too much!"

Lu Chuan yelled, his brows stood up, his face turned red and white, obviously he was extremely irritated.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Fang Ziheng suppressed the smile on his face and calmly looked at the furious Lu Chuan: "Senior Brother Lu, anyone can make empty talk. Everyone here is sensible. Do you think you can deceive everyone?"

"You fart, what did I fool everyone about?" Lu Chuan shouted, angrily spitting out curse words.

He couldn't let Fang Ziheng slander him, he definitely couldn't.

Everyone in the conference room looked at them.

The two had a grudge for a long time, and this time they were at odds with each other.

There's something good to watch!

This is the first voice that rings in the hearts of many people.

Come on, Director Fang, fuck him!

This is the second voice that rings in the hearts of many people.

Fang Ziheng did not disappoint everyone and directly enlarged his moves.

"Senior Brother Lu, I remember that your movie this year is not an artistic film, but a commercial movie called "The King's Feast"!"

"Do you think what you just said is convincing!"
