Up to now, there are only two awards left in the awards ceremony, "Best Picture" and "Best Director". According to the usual practice, these two awards will not be awarded to the same film.While it may seem to an outsider that there is no difference between a film being best picture or best director, there is actually a big difference here.

The best director is the same as the best actor and actress. It is an individual, so the recipient is usually the director himself, and the trophy is also kept by the director.But the best film is different. Although the director can accept the award on stage for the best film, usually the producer or production director will accept the award on stage, and the trophy is usually kept by the production company.So for directors, the best director is the highest award in their minds.The same is true for Li Wei, even though Li Wei is an investor himself, and he gave a speech when he won the best film, but the trophy belongs to the company.Only the best director trophy belongs to him, so Li Wei attaches great importance to the next award presentation.

The person in charge of awarding the best director is the vice chairman of the jury this year, and he walked onto the awarding platform with an envelope alone.

"The Pearl International Film Festival can be regarded as the most senior film festival in Huaguo. Although we have been attacked by some comments recently, this does not damage the status of the Pearl International Film Festival. For well-known international directors, or those newcomers who have just debuted Directors, or those directors who have been in the film industry for many years and have not been paid attention to, we all invite them to participate with the greatest sincerity. With the support of these outstanding filmmakers, the Pearl International Film Festival has become more dazzling. The brilliance." The vice-chairman spoke with eloquence, "After the Jury Prize, everyone must know that we are going to award the Silver Rose Award for Best Director and the Golden Rose Award for Best Film. Although I can't reveal too much , but I have to tell you that the birth of these two awards was very difficult and very unexpected. However, after discussions with our judges afterwards, it seems that there is no doubt about the ownership of these two awards. Well, without so much nonsense, Next, I will announce the Silver Rose Award, which is the best director."

Unlike the awards ceremony of the Union Awards, this kind of film festival awards ceremony does not have a so-called nomination list.However, the general live broadcast partners probably know who is popular, so the cameras in the venue are all aimed at those popular directors.Although Li Wei is considered the least likely director to win an award, it is undeniable that he is indeed one of the most popular directors.And when the heads of several popular directors were projected on the big screen, the vice chairman announced with a smile, "The best director winner of this year's Pearl International Film Festival is Li Wei! Director of "Redemption"."

The director immediately cut the big screen into Li Wei's exclusive shots, while several other popular directors were pulled into small windows and placed at the bottom of the screen.Most of these directors showed expressions of disbelief when they heard their names.Although most of the director awards of the trade union awards will be awarded to senior directors, after all, the more experience a director has, the less controversial his works will be, and the easier it will be to be favored by neutral votes.But the judges of the film festival prefer new directors or young directors, because they have not been finalized, so their works have unlimited possibilities; at the same time, young people dare to think and dare, so their works are also full of artistry and avant-garde !Cutting-edge enough!But Li Wei is the president of a commercial film company after all, don't the judges of the film festival have any scruples?

Li Wei also stood up in surprise, and then walked towards the podium.The vice chairman awarded him the silver rose trophy and handed him a bouquet of white roses at the same time.You must know that only the best film and best director have trophies at the Pearl International Film Festival, and the other awards are only a bouquet of yellow roses representing "friendship".Only the bouquets for Best Director and Best Picture are different, so the Silver Rose Awards and Golden Rose Awards have become the most concerned objects of the media.

At the moment when Li Wei received the trophy and the podium, news about Li Wei winning the best director was pushed out by major media.Naturally, there was a lot of commotion on the Internet. After all, everyone knew that Li Wei's skills were there, but Li Wei's status meant that he should not make any art films.Many commercial film directors joked during private gatherings that Li Wei was born to be the leader of commercial film directors, but he "betrayed" and went to the art film camp.

But if Li Wei knew about their discussion, he would definitely scoff.A director like Li Wei who has become a monk on the way is bound to have less sense of authority than a professional director, and it is difficult for a director without a sense of authority to control the entire crew.Even in a region where the film industry is extremely developed like Hollywood in a parallel time and space, if the director is strong enough, wouldn't the so-called producer-centered or screenwriter-centered system have to compromise with the director in the end?Look at the big-name directors in Hollywood, which one doesn't have the final editing rights?Li Wei's current idea is very simple and straightforward, which is to use the three major art film festivals to gain fame for himself.Just like Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty, if he hadn't been supported for many years, how could he possibly reach the sky in one step?

"First of all, I would like to thank the jury for awarding me such a significant award." Li Wei said politely, "Everyone knows that I won the award for best actor last time, which caused a lot of trouble for the judges. Now I I got the best director with more weight, so there must be all kinds of attacking remarks on the Internet now? So, I am very grateful to the judges for insisting on awarding me the award even though they knew this. The film is the work of the director, although this statement Some overinterpretation, but it is undeniable that the director is indeed the soul and key of a film. Therefore, being a director is much more difficult than being an actor. So, thanks to my producer, my crew and those in the crew Those who keep scolding me outside. Because those who look down on me make me always vigilant, and I dare not relax at all times. Finally, I hope this movie can make people who like me proud of me!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he bowed and left the stage.

After Li Wei returned to the wine table where the crew was, everyone cheered endlessly.Compared with other awards, Best Director is already one of the most important awards.It's just that everyone knows that "Redemption" took away the best director and basically insulated from the best picture.Although the trade union award has been criticized as "dividing pork", in fact, the awards at the film festival are easier to compromise.In addition to the taste of the chairman of the jury deciding everything, the organizing committee will also compromise with certain films or directors for commercial interests or their own interests. Therefore, in the award selection of film festivals, there are often people who are scolded for bleeding in a certain year.

And this year's film festival also seems to have this trend, and the wave of attacks on the Internet is getting bigger and bigger.However, Li Wei had already prepared for it. With the change of his identity, Li Wei's Weibo, space, and blog have all been closed.

The only thing that still interacts is Li Wei's own official fan site. Unfortunately, this fan site can't be read without registration, and can't speak without authentication after registration.It's very simple to speak, buy a genuine CD of Li Wei, there will be a verification code on the last page of the lyrics book, as long as you are certified, you can become a verified fan of Li Wei's official fan station.However, certified fans can only speak on some public forums. If you want to speak on the board called "Li Wei's Secret Garden", then contribute your purchasing power.All fans who have purchased products in Li Wei's official store can get the same fan points.And 1000 fan points can be exchanged for VIP fans for 1 month, and you can enter the secret garden.Li Wei basically uses the secret garden as his own blog, and puts everything here.And because it is his own encrypted page, some private photos of Li Wei, or demos of his usual song recordings, or side shots of going out will be put here.

From the perspective of ordinary people's reading experience, such a setting has already driven a group of netizens crazy.It's a pity that this is Li Wei's fan station, and they are all Li Wei's die-hard fans who can come here, so naturally they don't think this little money is anything.Because Li Wei completely retreated to his secret garden, those black people couldn't find a place to vent their anger, so they could only make a topic for themselves over there.

And just when Li Wei was happy, the chairman of the jury who appeared on the stage pushed the film festival awards ceremony to its climax.Whether it was the golden rose trophy in the hands of the Miss Manners at the back, or the bouquet of fiery red roses, they all became the most concerned targets of all the filmmakers present.

"I know you all want me to go down quickly so that I can take away the trophy and the bouquet." The chairman of the jury joked to himself, "However, there must be certain rules for winning awards. In fact, there are relatively large groups within the jury for awarding this trophy." Controversial. But I think our purpose is to choose the best movie, not to submit to this or that rule and unspoken rules. We dare not say that this movie is the best, but what we can promise is, This is what we think is the best. As for how to evaluate this film in the future, our jury all agree that we will leave it to time and the audience to judge! Well, the best film winner of this year’s Pearl International Film Festival, Li Wei’s film Studio, Kylin Film Group, "Redemption"!"

"No way!" Not to mention other people, even Li Wei has already ate it up.

He knew that the movie "Redemption" was indeed an excellent movie, but there were quite a few excellent works in this year's film festival, and he dared not say that he would surpass those works.Especially after he won the best director, Li Wei himself thought that the best film would go to other works, so as to balance the tendency of the film festival.But what he didn't expect was that the jury broke the tradition and awarded the Golden Rose and the Silver Rose to the same film at the same time.

Although Li Wei was astonished, as a film producer, he took several other executive producers onto the stage.After receiving the trophy and rose from the chairman of the jury, Li Wei passed the trophy and rose to other executive producers.

Li Wei stood in front of the microphone, "Actually, I didn't expect that I would get this award. Although I think my film is good enough, you also know that there are many reasons why I will lose this award. But the judges I insisted on my choice, and also used it to break some rules that cannot be clearly stated, so I must thank them. As for whether my "Redemption" is an excellent work, I don't want to comment too much on the Internet, after all Relying on the Internet, everyone can make their own voices. And when everyone has their voices, the wisest choice is not to listen. I respect every viewer and film critic’s criticism of me, the premise is that you have watched me In the end, I hope that time will finally prove the value of this movie. Thank you!"

Li Wei walked off the stage with several executive producers.The first thing the film company did when it received such good news was to increase the distribution share of the film.Don't blame the distribution company for being snobby, whether there are awards or not has a great impact on the box office of a movie!
