Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The "Redemption" crew's ability to get the top three rows is actually related to the fact that "Redemption" is the hot spot of this film festival. After all, this film has been recognized by the show magazine in charge of the organizing committee, and has also been appreciated by the Film Critics Association. , so the judges are not immune to the interference of these objective factors when they finally decide to vote.Now "Redemption" has won six nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor, and these six nominations are very important awards, so in the program broadcast It is inevitable to focus on "Redemption" and Li Wei.

Li Wei's fan base is actually mainly concentrated in college students and fresh people in society, that is, the age group from 20 to 25 years old.This age group is actually full of embarrassment. They are not as good at fooling around as their younger generation, primary and middle school students. With some assets, it is the main target pursued by advertisers, and idols who can attract these fans have become the first choice for advertisers to sponsor.

Fortunately, Li Wei has recently started to enter the film industry, and most of the films Li Wei shoots have a certain depth, so Li Wei has also begun to attract mother fans and aunt fans to a certain extent.Most of the scenes and introductions of this broadcast were given to Li Wei, which naturally greatly helped Li Wei's popularity and fans' age expansion.But at this moment, Li Wei's attention was all on the film festival, and he didn't think about anything else.

Li Wei knows that getting one of the six nominations in the end is the greatest affirmation of himself. You must know that the judges of the film festival are the most conservative and most willing to seek balance.The film festival is not something that can be supported by the organizing committee and the judging committee, what is needed is the support of the distributors.Compared with voting awards and trade union awards, this kind of jury award is actually more balanced.Simply put, isn't there only one best movie?What if there is more than one great movie?Then there is a default rule that the best director's film must not win the best picture.So there is a paradox. Since the director of the best film is not the best director, who is eligible to win the best director?And sometimes, for the sake of balance, the organizing committee will give awards such as the "Jury Award" to those movies that are popular but have not won any awards, so that everyone can be happy.

At the same time, it is a well-known secret that the judges like "old directors" and "old actors", because most of the works of these senior directors or actors are safe.The so-called safety is that film critics can't bear to be harsh, and most of the audience are willing to sell face, so there is basically not much controversy about awarding these works.But it’s not enough for newcomers. In this film circle where seniority is considered, if the film critics don’t teach you, a junior, who else will they teach?As for the audience, because they are not familiar with you, most of them will not go to your movies on purpose, and they will follow what others say when they see what others say.Li Wei knows very well that most of those keyboard critics won’t read your work. It’s a credit to you if he can fast-forward to watch your work. Many people start to comment on Jiangshan without even watching your trailer. up.

Li Wei is actually at this time, but Li Wei's status as the chairman of the entertainment group has made film critics jealous.After all, Li Wei has the big weapon of the broadcasting company in his hands. If he really wants to talk about it, Li Wei can completely let the radio stations and TV stations under his control kill film critics who are not good for him.Especially the rumor that Li Wei intends to enter the press and publishing industry, which makes film critics even more taboo.God knows if one day I will go to the newspapers under Li Wei's banner to beg for a living, it's better to do less to offend the big boss.Therefore, Li Wei's reputation among film critics is good. As for the audience, Li Wei is currently going for the trophy anyway, so there is no need to worry too much about the box office.In terms of Li Wei's plan, it is to get the best directors of the three film festivals first before considering making commercial films.

As for the imitation objects of commercial films, Li Wei naturally preferred to "sell copies".It has to be said that Michael Bay's style of explosive films topped the box office charts every minute, and the audience loves this kind of films that can increase adrenaline.If the film critics know that Li Wei, who is overflowing with humanistic feelings, is always planning to degenerate into a director of the visual department, it is estimated that the film critics will unite to "kill" this new director who does not know what to do.

Among the six awards nominated by Li Wei, the "Best Screenplay" was announced first, which is also considered the safest award by Li Wei and his team.After all, the excellence of "Redemption" is there, if there is no award at all, it will be unreasonable.However, there are too many people coveting awards such as best actor, best director and best picture, and the chances of a rookie like Li Wei getting the award are not high.But the best screenplay is relatively the award with the least competition. Li Wei's films are so good, so no one will say much about giving the best screenplay.Therefore, it did not exceed the expectations of Li Wei and others, and Li Wei won the award as expected.

In the applause of the audience, Li Wei quickly ran onto the stage.No one thinks that Li Wei is not dignified enough, after all, he is still a young man in the director circle at his age.Since he is a young man, being more lively can be regarded as bringing a little freshness to the director circle.Receiving the trophy from the screenwriter of the last best screenplay winner, Li Wei said excitedly in front of the microphone: "Wow! I am so happy! You know that I wrote and directed "Redemption" I acted in a film by myself, and in many people's eyes, I did not do my job properly, and I was so young that it made people feel that I was 'playing'. But I am very grateful to the judges of the film festival for recognizing my screenwriting ability , to let them know that I am not 'playing around', but that I am serious about making a film. I am flattered to be able to win this award and to be affirmed by the judges. Although you should guess, I am most looking forward to This is not the trophy."

When Li Wei said this, it naturally aroused laughter from the audience.Everyone didn't criticize Li Wei's ignorance. After all, being nominated for the best director proved Li Wei's ability.And who won the double nominations for best director and best picture, how can they not look forward to these two awards? "The following is a very serious acknowledgment." Li Wei deliberately took out a note from his pocket, "Thank you to my production company, although this company is mine. Thank you to my distribution company, although this company The company is also mine." Li Wei's first two thanks made the atmosphere more lively. "Thank you to my producer, which is myself."

Speaking of this, even Li Wei himself couldn't help laughing. "Thank you, Mr. Du Wen, my producer. Without your affirmation and help, this film would not have appeared. Thank you to all the members of the crew. You can accept a rookie like me yelling at you, and thank you all I took out my most professional attitude to participate in the filming of this film. Finally, thank you for your love for this film! Remember, the film will be officially released tomorrow, so you must go to the cinema to support it!"

In the applause of everyone, Li Wei left the stage with the best screenplay trophy.

Perhaps the best screenplay took away the luck of "Redemption", and the next two important awards, Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, fell through.Li Wei did not covet the best actor, after all, he is still a junior in the film industry, no matter what, everyone would not think that he has met the standard of an actor.However, Li Wei is very sorry that his film failed to be the best supporting actor. You must know that two supporting actors in his film were nominated, which is completely double insurance. Teenagers over the age of 16.

The movie he participated in is a family ethics drama. A father who has been away from home for several years suddenly returns, and an adolescent boy who has lost his mother and hates his father. The two have to live under the same roof.This kind of movie about family redemption has always been the favorite of major film festivals. It not only has depth to dig, but also has an excellent tear-jerking effect.Li Wei also watched this movie, but found that this movie did not take the so-called tear-jerking route, but took the youthful and cruel route, showing the dark side of teenagers' growth.

The teenager hated his father, but unconsciously embarked on the same growth path as his father in the hatred.His grades regressed and he became a delinquent boy. He fought, smoked, and had an affair with a drinking girl.Even under a conflict with his father, in order to calm down, he almost accepted drugs provided by bad friends.Fortunately, the director also knew where the lower limit was, so he decisively made the boy reject this temptation.

In addition to the dark side of these adolescents, the conflict between the teenager and his father is also very realistic.The father doesn't have much affection for the boy, he just takes in the boy because he has nowhere to go and a little bit of guilt; and the boy's anger towards his father is MAX.Therefore, the scenes of violence between father and son run through almost the entire movie... It is not until the end that the boy realizes that he has become a father because the girl who accompanied him gave birth to his son, so the two fathers try to reconcile slowly.Of course, at the end of the film, the three generations of grandparents visit their mother's grave.

It's not a typical coming-of-age movie, because it's the kind of movie that's bound to end up with teenagers going back to school or something.But this movie tells the teenagers that if they go the wrong way, they will have to pay the due price.In the end, the young man with only a high school diploma is struggling in the lowest class of the city, working hard for the happiness of his child... In fact, in Li Wei's opinion, this young man should definitely apply for the best actor, because the whole movie is him It was supported by the actor who played the father.And from the point of view of the director and the script, this boy should be the leading actor in this movie.

However, Li Wei quickly understood that this registration method was obviously an operation of the issuing company.Because the juvenile role is very popular with the judges, and his acting skills are indeed very good.However, this kind of true performance will generally be deducted by the judges for impression points, so if a teenager enters the nomination for best actor, he will definitely be eaten up by a group of actors or big actors, so it is better to settle for the next best thing Woolen cloth.

Sure enough, the distribution company made the right choice, and the juvenile was awarded Best Supporting Actor by the judges.Li Wei is not a stingy person either, this young man's acting skills are still outstanding, and Li Wei really needs a young actor for his next movie.So Li Wei whispered to his agent to pay attention to the young actor, to see if he could sign a play contract.

While Li Wei was thinking about his own affairs, the "Jury Award", regarded as the biggest consolation prize, was also announced.Fortunately, this consolation prize didn't fall on his head, otherwise Li Wei would really be dumbfounded.Then the buddy who won the award also knew that he had no chance to win the best director and best picture in the end, so he also joked quite a bit.
