Chapter 407, A Match Made in Heaven?
Asian Film Window.
This award is won by the country of the sponsor, which is a tradition.
It is also a necessity.
This is a tradition that has never been broken since the award was established.
It is true that this tradition has not been broken . However, anyone with eyes can see who the chief judges want to give this award to, who is the uncrowned king, and who deserves this award.
No matter which person, which movie, or which work, it is all presented here very vividly.
at this time.
Backstage at the Busan Film Festival, it was a mess. Many calls were made to Song Shina. Was she held accountable? Not really.
Not really.
At least, everyone has some doubts about her decision.
Why, she would make such a choice.
"Movies and art are tools for making money. For sponsors, investors, producers, directors, actors, from top to bottom, in fact, for everyone, isn't film art just such a thing?"
At this time, Song Shina said softly.
"There is nothing wrong with many things. Money is the driving force of everything. It is normal, including me, to climb up for fame, status and money. But we seem to have forgotten another function of movies."
"He can actually record a person's life, whether it is good or bad, fictional or real. We all get a feeling by peeking into that person's condensed life."
“The Crucible records the story of a brave teacher in a school, a marginalized group, and a small county town in China. We need fictional and refreshing stories, but we also need truth.”
“Our movies need it.”
"Li Yun."
At this time, Xie Qingya, who was at the meeting, was not a fool either.
I also understand the organizer's intention.
His meaning is actually very clear.
One thing is being made very clear.
This movie "The Crucible" is the uncrowned window of Asian films. Perhaps due to too many off-site factors, it was unable to win this award.
But just because he didn't get it doesn't mean the award isn't his.
It doesn’t mean that the award doesn’t belong to Li Yun.
This is probably what the so-called uncrowned king feels like.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for bringing me here to see the world."
"snort"
Wang Chen's face darkened and he left the table in anger. As if he was very dissatisfied with the praise for a domestic film. He said it was for art.
In fact, it is just a comprador.
At this time, Xie Qingya laughed lightly.
But at the same time.
Also looking at Li Yun.
"October Besieged City. Director Li, I hope you can give me a little surprise."
At least in Asia.
One that can make a name for itself.
I hope Zhang Mouzi is not the only one.
Cloud Girl.
It is a strange name on the Chinese Internet.
The incident with Asian Film Window is definitely not something that can be concealed for Internet channels.
Zhang Mouzi is not the only filmmaker who can make the Chinese people proud and go abroad.
Now there seems to be one more.
Rumor has it in the industry that he has some mental problems, but he looks very cheerful and is a new male director, a first-line actor, and an excellent actor who can act opposite veteran actors.
At the same time, Liu Qianqian, who has collaborated with Li Yun many times, naturally became the so-called Yun Girl.
but.
There are also more people who oppose this title.
Liu Qianqian was not made famous by Li Yun; she has her own ability to do so. It was a mutual achievement.
An achievement of mutual fulfillment.
But anyway.
The name of "The Crucible" once again appeared on the Chinese Internet.
A good movie to earn foreign exchange.
Movies that go abroad.
It is very popular on Douban and Hupu.
About this matter.
It also had an impact on Li Yun. "Hahaha! Li Zi, you can't imagine how ugly that guy named Jin Wuxuan looked when you became the uncrowned best film at the Busan Film Festival. In the end, he was still stubborn and looked like he couldn't believe it."
Jiang Chenggang was so happy this time. He really felt comfortable and refreshed from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, there may be some shock in it. Going international sounds like a very empty pie.
Jiang Chenggang had never thought about this matter before.
But now the box office is there too.
Foreign exchange actually earned from exports in other countries.
Not only that, but we have also achieved some success in awards.
In the past, he would never have dared to think of such a thing.
Dual recognition in business and art.
He suddenly understood something.
Why Li Yun didn't choose to go to Hollywood.
Maybe if it was Li Yun.
He could really say that arrogant thing.
It's Hollywood's loss if they don't see me.
Not that I lost my chance in Hollywood.
Li Yun is the craziest person Jiang Chenggang has ever met.
Also the most talented person.
That kind of magical and intoxicating talent.
This is the ability that Li Yun possesses.
"It's okay." Li Yun didn't feel much.
No matter how enthusiastic the outside reaction is.
How intense.
Li Yun's feeling.
Or in other words.
This Busan Film Festival is just one of the steps.
It's not enough.
It's not enough.
Li Yun deeply felt that this was not enough.
More is needed.
Just watching Asian Film Window cannot satisfy my ultimate desire.
Or it could be said that one cannot satisfy the ultimate desires of these personalities.
I still need more and more complex resources to make higher-budget, more ambitious films.
The siege of October followed.
There is also the second half of the New Three Kingdoms.
He also has his own original movies and completely original scripts.
However, in the meantime, there is one definite benefit to the Asian Film Festival. It will help increase the popularity of the upcoming Let the Bullets Fly project.
From various perspectives, the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has a slightly abstract name and does not seem to be so straightforward.
Even Jiang Wen, who was very famous at that time, only became popular in the commercial field after filming Let the Bullets Fly.
Promotion and marketing are very important. The commercial performance of Let the Bullets Fly was not that impressive back then. It was only after the development of the times that its value was gradually discovered.
The quality is unquestionable.
Let the Bullets Fly is enough to become a classic of the decade.
Li Yun had no doubt about this.
But if no results were achieved at that time.
Then it's nothing.
The current performance of Let the Bullets Fly will affect the resources for his next work.
Today’s Window on Asian Films is like a booster for the upcoming Let the Bullets Fly.
Let the heat fly for a while.
at the same time.
Liu Lili also had mixed feelings.
She could never forget how she felt when she saw her daughter's face on the international stage.
It's a kind of happiness.
A kind of loss.
A kind of pride and, a kind of relief.
All in all, it's very complicated.
My daughter is indeed walking on the road just as I expected.
But the path he took was completely opposite to his own.
It was completely different from what I expected.
She did not make her debut in Hollywood.
Without relying on any Hollywood power.
Completely relying on myself and Li Yun. in the country.
Accomplished this feat.
This is a bit of a slap in the face to Liu Lili. She always says that only by relying on herself and relying on Hollywood and big companies can she succeed.
And the actions of the two people at this time.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This points out the mistake.
Who says that what is happening in the country cannot be seen by people outside the country?
Who says that films made in China cannot be spread all over the world?
Li Yun can do it.
Did this.
Completely rely on yourself.
We have made a name for ourselves in Asia.
Let them know that there is an insider named Li Yun in China.
A domestic oddity.
The strange thing is this.
Now I don’t know which circle he is in.
It seems like he is in every circle.
This would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
As for the Beijing circle, Shanghai circle and Hong Kong circle in China, which are each independent and fighting against each other, they will always be a mess.
No one has ever been able to fully integrate their resources before.
Then Hollywood is a monolith.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Lili is desperate about the current situation of the domestic film industry.
Many things are as closed as in the feudal era.
There is no way to develop your own art.
Until today she saw someone.
Looks like Li Yun.
Just telling her.
This guy doesn't play by the rules.
Doesn't seem to belong to any circle.
Very handsome.
If someone wins an international award.
For every circle.
It's a great happy event.
They will use his name to promote their own circle and claim that he is the pride of their film industry.
When Li Yun won this uncrowned award in Asia, many people were happy, the first of whom was Lu Zhengguang.
Li Yun is a member of the Aerospace Force.
It’s not too much, just be happy.
However, people in the Hong Kong circle were also happy. People like Andy Lau also felt happy and joyful.
As an actor.
Both Andy Lau and Danny Leung have won awards at the Asian Film Festival.
But as a director, it seems that no one in the Hong Kong circle has ever won it.
No.
At most, he would win a New Wave Award.
This year's Asian Film Window is obviously for Li Yun.
It was only because of some traditional things that Li Yun was not given it.
In fact, this is already an uncrowned honor.
The Beijing circle, which had always been closely connected with Li Yun.
This time he didn't speak.
Uncharacteristically silent.
In the past, whenever Zhang Mouzi won one or two international awards, there would be an uproar outside, but this time it was a newcomer in the film and television industry, Li Yun, who received such an honor.
They were so silent.
On the other hand, Zhang Mouzi was promoting it with great fanfare.
I wish the whole world knew that he was nominated.
But it was obvious that the person who received the greatest honor was Li Yun.
There was a full minute of outstanding time in the Asian Film Window. If the organizer was not in South Korea, the award for this film would have gone to Li Yun.
Anyone who has worked in the film industry knows this.
The unspoken rule is that the organizers will give priority to rating works from their own country.
Prioritize your own country's scores.
This is an unspoken rule that no one can refuse.
If there is anyone who can change his fate.
That must be made known to everyone.
As for why.
The people of the Li family understood this very well.
"Because he is not from the circle, it's that simple." Li Yuxuan said lightly as he played with the Buddhist beads in his hand.
Give your own evaluation.
Because Li Yun did not explicitly say that he was from the Beijing circle.
So these kids from big courtyards in Beijing.
That's why I didn't include Li Yun in the category of congratulations.
"How stupid! For a new director with such great potential to be involved in his own circle of activities, it's so ridiculous, don't you think so, brother?"
Li Mo disagreed with this.
He just watched the recording of the Busan Film Festival over and over again in silence by himself.
That announced the existence of the uncrowned king.
Even the film that was taken from the Asian Film Window only used 15 seconds of silhouettes, but Li Yun's The Crucible cut a full minute.
That is one thing the entire judging panel is certain of.
If this melting pot was a movie from their own country.
Then the list of Asian Film Window must definitely be The Melting Pot.
Irrefutable.
"Okay, brother, if you want to talk to him, I can go in your place." Li Yuxuan looked at Li Mo and teased, "After all, my relationship with my nephew should be pretty good."
“No need”
At this time, Li Mo turned off the computer.
Said lightly.
"My film promotion is about to begin. His winning of the so-called Asian Film Window will only add some popularity to his new work, but it will not affect the overall situation."
The first-tier cities fight against the second-tier cities, and low-cost cities fight against high-cost cities.
No matter how you look at it, the advantage is in my hands.
"You know I'm not talking about his achievements in this movie, but his potential. Think about how old he is, how many roles he has played, and how much support he has behind him, yet he has achieved such an impressive result at this time."
At this time, Li Yuxuan said as if he was proud.
"You are even better than you were back then. You are already the most talented director in the entire Beijing circle. But now, your son, who you abandoned, has shown a talent that is even greater than yours. He is no longer your junior."
"It's the opponent you need to look squarely at, the one you need to fight seriously and defeat seriously."
Right now.
Li Yuxuan looked at his brother with burning eyes.
"Aren't you helping him? What good will it do you to make me serious?"
"It is precisely because I help him that I want you to be serious, brother. A good sword is sharpened by grinding. Brother, you are very suitable to be the whetstone for your son." Li Yuxuan smiled with narrowed eyes: "I think it is very suitable for you to be his stepping stone."
This attitude made Li Mo very disgusted.
The kind that teases oneself openly.
But Li Modu had to admit it.
Li Yun's strength definitely doesn't mean he's a junior, nor is he someone he needs to give in to.
He is his own rival in the film market.
They met a worthy rival. The next film, Let the Bullets Fly, will be released at the same time as his movie.
