Chapter 190 A Love Letter to Filmmakers

This is the first time, and there is no suspense about the first place.

The objective data was truly shocking, leaving no room for the judges to make a comeback.

Of course, the judges gave "Buried" a very high score.

The three firsts that are undoubtedly ours.

On June 10, the film festival awards ceremony was star-studded, with members of the Film Association, academic teachers, and first- and second-tier directors and actors gathered in the academy auditorium.

Guo Zhenqi took the initiative to undertake the task of presenting awards for ten films.

"I am very grateful to the film festival and the Daxia Film Association for giving me this opportunity to present awards to ten outstanding university student films. This new generation of filmmakers is full of talent and dares to think and act. I see hope for Daxia films in you. One day, we will be able to improve our capabilities and produce even better works. We will have a say in the Daxia market, compete head-on with Hollywood, and even produce reverse cultural output. All of this depends on the continuous efforts of generations of filmmakers!"

Everyone in the audience understood what he meant. Currently, the Chinese film market is dominated by Hollywood films, and when blockbusters arrive, many domestic films have to give way.

In this multi-billion dollar market, overseas films account for three-quarters.

Daxia Film has only been developing for 20 to 30 years. Whether it is the script story, production process or packaging and marketing, it takes time to grow and digest. Therefore, many veteran filmmakers are eager to train the next generation so that Daxia Film can stand up.

"At this film festival, I asked the chairman if I could present the awards because I saw some very outstanding children and wanted to meet them. The chairman agreed."

The audience laughed.

"Now I will award the top ten works."

"Tenth place..."

...

"Third Place: Wild Child, Director: Chi Yizhi"

Second Place: "Miss You", Director: Hao Lei

...

"Finally, this is our first place this year, and it's also a work I like very much."

"Buried Alive," directed by Rocky and Zhang Wen, written by Rocky, starring Zhang Xuejun.

"This film has given me great encouragement. Our new generation of filmmakers are really bold and can find new approaches to any subject matter. Whether it's the script, director or actors, they are all very mature. Did you know that?"

"Buried Alive had a crew of only five people, a budget of less than $500,000, and was filmed with cell phones!!"

!!!

The audience was stunned!

This is really awesome!

The Zhang family father and son went on stage to receive the award.

Guo Zhenqi and Zhang Xuejun knew each other but had never worked together.

"Hello, Director Guo!"

"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"

“I dare not!”

"I heard that you two are father and son, right?"

Director Guo's joke made the audience realize for the first time that the two had this kind of relationship.

"As expected of you, you are a famous teacher. Xiao Zhang's outstanding performance is entirely due to your guidance."

The audience are more or less aware of Zhang Wen’s previous works, including "Never Expected", "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", and "Wulin Waijiao", a ace in the hole!

"You used to be mainly engaged in film making. I would like to ask how did Xiao Zhang get into the film industry?"

"Uh uh, to be honest, Wenwen and I were the ones who were carried away."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Zhang Xuejun has been working in the film and television industry for nearly half his life, and he has the strongest fame and strength in this team.

From the outside, it seems that "Buried" was supported by him alone.

But being carried away? Carried away by whom?

Everyone's appetite was whetted.

"One day, my child came home and told me that he wanted to film a skit with his classmates. I thought, let's do it, it won't cost much."

"As a result, he earned a house by himself from 'Never Expected'."

Hahahahahahaha, the audience burst into laughter.

"Afterwards, he and his classmates went to the Forbidden City to film a documentary. By the time I found out, 'I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City' had already become a trending topic."

"To be honest, I don't have the ability to get myself into the Palace Museum."

"Then, he said he was going to make a sitcom and asked if I wanted to play a role. That's how it is now - my neighbors all call me Old Xing!"

"At the end of last year, he said there was a movie script that was perfect for me, and the next thing you know, I was in a coffin for a month."

“Hahahahahahaha!”

"So he figured it all out on his own?"

"Not exactly. The child grew up in a film crew and is very interested in film and television works, so he chose this major."

"However, it was Mr. Rocky who was not present this time who really set him on the path to becoming a director."

After the award was announced, the media were planning to publish a special feature titled "Like father, like son" and "Father and son fighting together in battle."

So, you said it was because of the invisible Loki?

Moreover, the word "teacher" is very important.

A person who can be called an old artist calls him teacher. Who is this Loki?

"These works all originated from the concepts and creativity of screenwriter Rocky. He came up with the script, then approached Wenwen, who then approached me."

"So today, even though it's us father and son going on stage to receive the award, I think this award belongs to Teacher Luo!"

"Thank you for leading Wenwen forward, and thank you for giving me this opportunity! Thank you also to the film festival for allowing more people to see our work!"

"I believe, as Director Guo said, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and Daxia Film will definitely get better and better!"

Zhang Xuejun's words were sincere and genuine, and the audience couldn't help but be moved.

How come all the good things happen to this father and son!

But the doubts remained for a long time. Who is this Loki?

Isn’t it a bit too amazing!

According to Zhang Xuejun, Loki was the one who organized the incident and they were just cooperating with him.

Guo Zhenqi really ignored Loki, but now is not the right time, let's give the award first.

"Great, great! I hope that in the future these children can bring us and our audience more shock and surprise!"

......

The awards ceremony was over and it was time for the performances.

Xue Yanqin was already ready in the backstage.

"Now, please welcome Mr. Xue Yanqin to perform."

Lao Xue came on stage and started singing without saying a word.

【

How many people love the grace you left on the screen

How many people love your independent attitude

......

】

Lao Xue has almost become a legend in the entertainment industry in the past two years, so he has many fans in the audience.

As soon as I heard it, I realized that this song was the first one to be sung.

"New song?"

"These lyrics..."

"The legacy of screen..."

Lao Xue’s singing voice is as ethereal and moving as ever, and it slowly reaches everyone’s heart.

【

Why sorrow, why love, why worry and pain

Why laugh at hate and love

The world is just a place where you live...

】

The melodious and moving singing voice with a hint of sadness echoed throughout the venue.

Many filmmakers are beginning to find that the lyrics seem...

"These lyrics...are they about a filmmaker?"

"Eternal innocence, childlike expectations...isn't that talking about the original intention of creation?"

“The seamless elegance and the underlying fear seem to speak to the perseverance and fragility of the creative process!”

"Today's surprises are more than just 'Buried Alive'."

Although it is very obscure, the emotions in the song are clearly conveyed.

Soon, the song information appeared on the screen.

A Love Letter to Filmmakers

It seems like hatred has hair, it seems like worldliness has no dust, it is like dreaming, and seeing the body outside the body.

】

When the answer was revealed, the emotions of the film professionals in the audience reached a climax.

"It's truly a heartfelt love letter!"
