Qin Jue remained silent.
Is it possible to say that there is not even a single good film in Yangyang Longzhou?
Of course it's impossible.
Not to mention, take the 73rd Golden Plum Awards last year as examples: "The Cage" which won the Best Picture Award, "Da Ming", a historical film that has a strong commercial atmosphere but does not affect the quality, and a musical film with outstanding lyrics, music and arrangement. "Shingong Music Code" and so on, if they really aim to win the "Four Special and Nine Major" awards, they might not be able to win several nominations.
But this is one of the shortcomings of the Dragon Kingdom film industry: it has its own cultural ecosystem, which is inward-looking in all aspects, relies on its large population, produces and sells its own products, and rarely considers external expansion and export.
Even the political film "Red Bell" directed by Lin Yanxing and written by Zhu Zishu, which was shortlisted for the Ni Lob International Film Festival last year, only submitted a symbolic application at that time, and the main track was still in China.
It's not like no one has discovered this problem.
However, when Longzhou's own high-quality entertainment output is gradually dwindling, and it is no longer easy to save the internal decline, who can spare the effort to develop to the outside world?
There is a long way to go to improve the entertainment index and it will not be achieved overnight.
Fortunately, things have turned for the better.
Familiar faces flashed before Qin Jue's eyes, young, loving, firm, and gratified. In the corner of his eye, He Xu was still looking at the big screen seriously. It was he and the seniors who stood in high positions in the industry who started cultivating the future of Longguo Culture and Entertainment starting from a variety show.
With a gentle breath, Qin Jue lowered his eyes and smiled, no longer distracted.
On the screen, the carefully edited overview documentaries of previous years are playing continuously. The closer the year is, the more detailed the content is. Every minute and every second is the essence. Whether you are a director, screenwriter or actor, as long as you watch carefully, you can draw knowledge or inspiration from it.
The screening lasted for a full hour and a half before the numbers in the center of the screen jumped to this year, leaving an ending that was quite infectious and whetted the audience's appetite.
Applause broke out in the awards hall.
The volume is not so loud as to blow the roof off, it sounds very reserved, but the respect contained in it cannot be faked.
Not far away, director and playwright Ronan Linde, who had met Qin Jue once at the dinner party, was already tapping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. It was the purest touch of a filmmaker towards his film career.
Then, with the appearance of the glass hourglass, a countdown appeared in front of everyone present. At the same time, the surrounding lights gradually brightened, indicating that it was now entering the rest period, and a slight commotion was heard. Some people left the table and walked to the bathroom, some turned their heads to talk to the people next to them, and some came belatedly, holding up their skirts from the red carpet. Walk into the hall entrance at the end.
Qin Jue deliberately closed her eyes and fell into the film and television space to digest what she had just gained. Unfortunately, it was not polite to close her eyes and rest in the current environment. She tilted her head slightly. Seeing that He Xu had no intention of getting up, she lowered her head slightly. I went over to discuss issues with the old man.
Sometimes they were asking questions, sometimes they were meditating, and time passed quickly. When all the stardust-like gravel in the hourglass fell into the container below, the door on the side of the stage was opened by the staff, and a group of figures walked to the front row seats in twos and threes. They were all well-dressed and calm.
There were five men and four women, a total of nine people. They were all the faces that I had seen in the documentary just now... Qin Jue knew that this was the jury of the Venazzola International Film Festival, and they would personally award the awards in a short while.
After the judges took their seats, several rows of seats in the awards hall were finally filled. The door connected to the red carpet in the corridor slowly closed. If anyone is still lingering outside the venue at this time, just think about it and know that he or she will become a joke on social networks after the news report comes out - come to attend Venazzola There are a lot of guests at the film festival. If you judge based on "passion for the film and television industry", there will always be people with impure minds.
This is something that everyone and the audience outside the venue know very well. If it is hidden decently, no one will care. But if it is full of flaws and reveals stupidity, it is inevitable that it will not be attacked by netizens.
Fortunately, similar "accidents" did not happen, or at least they did not cause too much noise. The lights in the hall returned to darkness, and a video was broadcast on the big screen. Some guests in the audience straightened their backs unconsciously: This is a collection of works that were shortlisted for the Venazzola International Film Festival and nominated for awards this year.
Different from the retrospective documentary just a moment ago, the current edited collection of films will also be cut to the corresponding shots by the on-site director during the playback interval, that is, the highlights of the entire film (including plot, photography, lighting design, etc.) will be cut to the director, screenwriter, and characters. The highlight was cut to the actors, so that on the eve of the announcement of the winners, everyone present and the audience in front of the TV could see their faces and leave a rough impression.
When "Daytime Rain" was broadcast, Qin Jue was not surprised to see the scene where Mo Sen killed Cao Hao and Su Qi in succession, and Tian Gang and Qiu Xue were passionate in bed. The simple and crude parallel editing explained the relationship between sex and sex. The similarities and differences in violence create primitive pleasure and terror.
The screen cut to the camera pointed at He Xu. The old man was wearing a brocade Tang suit with a stand-up collar. His hair was slightly white at the temples and he was unsmiling. As an internationally renowned director who had won two awards at the Venazzola Film Festival, this Longzhou face was familiar to most people in the audience. Many guests nodded secretly. .
The scene changed again, Mo Sen was hit on the head and unable to sleep peacefully, Mo Sen had his shoulder blade stepped on by He Ye, Mo Sen stabbed the patrolman to death in an upside-down position, Mo Sen took off his school pants at the intersection and turned around in despair, As well as Mawson, who is smiling brightly and crying, the same character appears repeatedly, which is like a highlight of the character.
The movements, expressions, and sounds are so realistic that they are terrifying, full of tension, and extremely contrasting. Even those who have seen many big scenes can't help but change their colors.
The lower right corner of the big screen cut to Qin Jue at the right time. She did not look at the camera, but just looked at the screen intently. Her temperament, which was completely different from that of Mo Sen, once again demonstrated her outstanding acting skills. People who had never seen her at the dinner quietly remembered this face, while people who had seen or talked to her at the dinner quietly refreshed their impressions in their hearts.
The collection of works continues to play, and when it comes to award competition, there is an undercurrent in the air. The Venazzola International Film Festival adheres to the principle of sending nomination invitations privately, and usually does not directly disclose the list of winning candidates. However, the final circle is so narrow, even if you don’t ask, you can just look at the highlight scenes and live close-ups at this time. My heart is clear.
Recalling what He Xu said in the parking lot about "vigor and ambition", and thinking about the old man's expression just watching the retrospective documentary, Qin Jue became more serious and did not forget to organize the information while appreciating and studying.
There are three people competing with her for the "Best Actor Award" this time. The first is Quentin Visconti, who also has gender troubles like her.
Of course, in all Blue Star's film and television-related awards, actors are based on the role they played. In other words, even if Quentin discloses his true gender, the fact that he plays the male protagonist in the remake of "Searching for Uloda" is an established fact and will not affect his nomination for the "Pearl in the Sea" best actor.
The other two who are on the same track as Qin Jue are Gerrit Brown and Herman Saavedra.
The former starred in Ronan Linde's movie "The Call of the Mist". Qin Jue had contact with him at the dinner party, and the two had a good relationship; the latter is a veteran actor in the EU Federation, and this time he brought his self-written film The suspense film "Blood" directed and starred in was shortlisted for the Venazzola Film Festival.
However, judging from the cut of the entries just now, Herman's writing and directing skills have not yet reached the threshold for nomination. Therefore, coming to the awards ceremony today relies on the Best Actor nomination - his acting skills are indeed stable and outstanding. .
Out of respect and courtesy for his new friends, as well as his interest in the work itself, Qin Jue went to the cinema yesterday afternoon to watch the two films "Looking for Wuloda" and "The Call of the Mist". Quentin is like a goddess of beauty coming to the world, while Grit gives her the impression that she is the person who "should live in the world on the screen." Both of them performed brilliantly, and Qin Jue would feel equal to them in terms of ability.
However, looking beyond the performance, "Looking for Wuloda" tells the story of a terminally ill painter who accidentally caught a glimpse of a beautiful boy named "Uluoda" on the street. He couldn't help but be obsessed with him, and followed him and what he wanted in his heart. "Beauty", so he came to the strange city of Venazzola. In the end, he failed to find "beauty" and passed away with regret, leaving behind an unfinished famous painting.
Since it is a remake of the movie, the director did not make any adaptations, which makes Quentin's character "Uloda" have a very strong symbolic meaning, more like the embodiment of "beauty" than a flesh-and-blood person. The characters he plays are not so full and three-dimensional, which in a sense fixes the upper limit of Quentin's acting skills and weakens his own competitiveness in the finals of "Pearl in the Sea".
The same is true for "Call of the Mist". Qin Jue even re-watched this film a second time on the spot. Director Ronan used a lot of metaphors and symbolic techniques in the film, using the male and female protagonists and the surrounding environment to launch a dialogue and interrogation between the soul and the self. The style is absurd and bizarre, and the whole film is The atmosphere is amazing, and the narrative is very poor. It is easy to be confused and confused when watching the movie for the first time, and you will lose patience very quickly.
Glitter, who plays the male protagonist in it, is not so much a "protagonist" as a "part of the spiritual environment". He is sometimes crazy, sometimes desperate, sometimes despicable, and sometimes cowardly. He is the inner reflection of "people" and an emotion. The embodiment of the world, he serves the whole and it is difficult to exist as an independent character.
Although this judgment is somewhat rude, Qin Jue feels that it is difficult for Grit to compete for the "Best Actor" award with such a role that "does not advance the plot" - if "The Call of the Mist" finally wins the "Best Director Award" Or the "Best Picture Award", she will not be surprised at all. This is a movie in which the work is greater than the role. To enjoy it, you must watch the entire scene, especially those very meaningful medium shots, long shots and long shots. .
It seems……
The biggest opponent is the veteran actor Herman Saavedra?
3000+
*The prototype movie of "Searching for Uloda"/"The Dream of Venazzola" is: "Death in Venice"
*"Call of the Mist" is original. There is only a synopsis (or theme concept), and the script cannot be written.
