Bright Era of China Entertainment
Chapter 630 Not worth mentioning
The family of three walked out of the screening room and came to the corridor of the cinema. They saw Fumino and others coming together, and they happened to come to join them.
The whole family looked at everyone with smiles on their faces, and everything seemed to be going well.
"How is it?" Chu Xuan asked.
Wen Mino and others turned around and walked out of the theater with the family.
"The response from all four rounds was pretty good," Liu Yidao said.
"Same here." Kong Sheng said.
"It can be considered as a blockbuster effect." Li Xue said.
"I just don't know if the result is good or not." Wen Muye was worried. Even though his work received a good response on-site, the response on-site did not mean that the selection result was good. Moreover, in this foreign and unfamiliar environment, it made him feel very uneasy. .
Hearing what he said, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Yi, who were already in good moods, instantly calmed down.
When Liu Xiaoli saw such a situation, Wen Muye broke the originally beautiful atmosphere with just one sentence. She also knew that it was because everyone was under great pressure.
They all hope to win awards, but they all worry that if they don’t win, they will be ridiculed by foreign media and be humiliated abroad.
She feels that there is absolutely no need to have this burden. She dares to bring China's first science fiction film to the international stage. Taking this step is much better than the so-called filmmakers in China who dare not get involved in this subject.
Furthermore, looking at the enthusiastic response from the audience during the four rounds of screenings, even if "Hope" does not win the award in the end, she feels that foreign media will not ridicule this short film because its excellence is obvious to all.
She could only say that "it's just because I'm in this mountain". She understood the bond between the two children, Fumino and the others and "Hope", and the pressure in her heart.
Liu Xiaoli consoled her: "We can't do anything. Why do we think so much? We should eat, drink and play."
Everyone smiled slightly, these words sounded very pleasant, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.
"Hello, hello." A group of people came from the other end of the corridor, and the leader greeted everyone.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others stopped and looked at the visitor in confusion.
"I am Rachel, the director of "Summer in Norway"." Rachel had a beard on her face and looked very friendly to Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others.
"Hello, I am Chu Xuan, the producer of "Hope"." Unexpectedly, this rival director took the initiative to say hello, and Chu Xuan also behaved very gently and enthusiastically.
The people on both sides shook hands with each other and heard Rachel say: "After the first round, I came out for a walk. The response from your audience was so enthusiastic. They all said that "Hope" gave them too many surprises. I was in the second round. I came to your screening room to watch a show..."
Rachel paused, spread her hands, and looked very surprised: "It's so shocking. I think the international film community thinks that there is no science fiction in China. This is a complete misunderstanding. I think "Hope" is not weaker than anything in Hollywood." It’s an industrial movie, but it also has details that industrial movies don’t have.”
He gave "Hope" a very high rating, and it didn't look like he was cheating. This made Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others smile deeper and deeper. They really didn't expect that this competitor would recognize their "Hope" so much.
"My work was fortunate enough to be shortlisted for this year's Cannes, but now it seems there is no hope for the next stage. Your short film also benefited me a lot and I learned a lot of things I didn't have. It was a very pleasant experience." Rui Qiu's mentality is very good.
"Director Rachel, you are too modest. The final result has not been announced yet, and everything is still unknown." Chu Xuan shook his head: "I regret but sincerely say that although I have not read your work, I can Being shortlisted for Cannes must be extremely outstanding.”
"No, no, no, it's far worse than your "Hope". This is a fact." Rachel was very straightforward: "I hope we can communicate more and give you more advice in the future."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei burst out laughing. This director Rachel from Norway actually has an interesting soul. It was the first time they had met such a humble, honest and straightforward young foreign director.
Everyone was very happy that their work could be praised by such a director and a competitor. After leaving the theater, we got in the car and talked and laughed all the way back to the hotel.
Although the hotel is full of people, there are not many people in the lobby. Most of them are going out for fun, watching screenings in the theater or relaxing in the entertainment venues in the hotel park.
Everyone walked towards the elevator. Compared to the warm atmosphere at the screening, which brought them a good mood, the friendly feedback and praise from competitors made this mood even more pleasant.
But when they turned to the elevator corridor, the conversation of the group in front of them instantly made their mood not so good.
""Summer in Norway" is just so-so. It has no core and no reflection. It is too bland and has a strong rural attribute. A short film like this might have been OK ten years ago, but it seems ordinary now."
"Well, it's just a pity that I woke up late and didn't catch the last screening of "Hope"."
"If we get to the next stage, let's go and take a look."
"If there is anything to watch, China's videos are just like their football, not worth mentioning."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's expressions darkened, and the last person's disdainful tone suddenly pierced their hearts like a thorn, causing their moods to plummet.
Wen Mino's face was so dark that it seemed as if he could drip water, and he hesitated at the elevator door.
Chu Xuan pulled Liu Yifei past Wen Muye and walked into the elevator, followed by Liu Xiaoli, Wen Muye and others.
The few foreigners in the elevator looked at the group of people coming in. They were a little surprised when they saw the faces of Asians, and then they didn't take it seriously. There are many Asian film and television people who come to Cannes every year, so they were not surprised.
The person in front of me was wearing a tuxedo and looked more handsome. He was also the person who just said that Chinese films were not worth watching, but he raised a smile full of sunshine: "Hello."
His smiling face was bright. If they hadn't accidentally seen his arrogance in his words, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei might have thought that this person was easy to deal with and very friendly.
But now that smile was seen by them, it seemed so hypocritical.
"Hello." Chu Xuan was a gentleman and nodded slightly.
The two sides nodded to each other, which was the most basic greeting between strangers.
From the exchange just now with this group of foreigners, it is obvious that they are also a production team shortlisted for Cannes Short Film.
Wen Muye and Liu Yi searched for relevant information about the shortlisted short films before the screening. Although they didn't know which short film production team these people were from, they could do some research online and then check the existing information. Understand who they are.
But from the calm look in his eyes, Chu Xuan could tell that these people had no idea that they were the production team of "Hope".
They are the only Chinese film shortlisted for this year's Cannes. Looking at them returning to the hotel at this time, anyone with any brains can guess that they are the production team of "Hope".
But after these people made disparaging remarks about "Hope" and even Chinese films, they were not embarrassed to see their Chinese faces. This shows that these people did not guess their identities, and it also shows that these people did not regard them at all. In eyes.
"That's so crazy!" Wen Muye said coldly as he walked out of the elevator with Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others. The group of foreigners had already left midway.
"To talk like this in public, it seems that the status of our film and television in their hearts is really low." Kong Sheng shook his head, also angry.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The domestic film and television industry hasn't developed yet." Li Xue sighed. He felt uncomfortable being humiliated by foreigners. It was said that it hurt him, but this was a problem that the entire industry was not yet developed, and he couldn't help it. It's true, there's nothing you can do about it.
"Although it was a private communication between them, it seemed to us like public humiliation in public. This is the first time I have experienced such treatment." Liu Yi said: "It is very dramatic."
In an atmosphere of displeasure, Liu Yi suddenly made such a comment. Liu Yifei couldn't help but say "Pfft": "Brother Liu, you are still awesome. You perfectly explain what art comes from life. The focus of top screenwriters is different."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Liu Yi's witty words dissipated some of the depression in everyone's hearts.
Liu Xiaoli said: "Didn't they say that football is not worth mentioning? Send this news back to the country @download the National Football Association so that people in the national football team can also reflect on it."
Everyone laughed, and Liu Xiaoli's quick joking made most of the depression in everyone's hearts dissipate.
After returning to the room, Liu Xiaoli called the hotel to order food.Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Yi and others checked online and found out that the group of people just now were the production team of the short film "Black Hole". They came from the UK. The leader was Philip, the director of "Black Hole".
"'Black Hole' is just a 3-minute short film." Fumino said.
"He is the director of this short film? A 3-minute short film was shortlisted for Cannes. No wonder he is so crazy." Kong Sheng crossed his arms.
The footage is only 3 minutes long in total. What can this express?
Telling a story clearly and highlighting its characteristics within 3 minutes is extremely challenging for any director.
In the history of the global film industry, it is unknown whether 3-minute short films exist in major film festivals, at least they have never heard of them.
The short film "Black Hole" is only 3 minutes long and was shortlisted for this year's Cannes.
This shows that the crazy British director Philip must have a lot of skills and is very professional in directing ability.
""Black Hole" is also science fiction, but it is literary science fiction. It is about human nature. I don't think that only 3 minutes of human nature can compare with the amazement brought by our imagination in "Hope"." Li Xue said, Very confident.
Chu Xuan nodded: "In three minutes, no matter how literary or human it is, it will not be so profound. It must be unique to be shortlisted, but this is not the reason why his work has not been screened yet. Maybe there’s someone behind it.”
Liu Yifei's heart sank, what Chu Xuan said was true.
This "Black Hole" has not been screened yet, and there has been no feedback. That Philip is so crazy and behaves so confidently, saying that this is not good and that it is not worth it, it is probably because there is someone behind him who supports him and gives him confidence.
There are unspoken rules wherever you go in the entertainment industry. What should "Hope" do if it encounters "Black Hole"?
Liu Yifei's mood was completely gone.
Liu Yi changed the subject: "Look, isn't this the dramatic conflict that arises from drama? He looks down on us, and there are people behind us who support us, but we are powerless to face all this in other people's home stadium."
"Then if our "Hope" wins in the end, this trip to Cannes will be a fun part of the drama. If we lose, it will be a suppression of the protagonist group."
Liu Yi clicked his tongue and pointed casually: "This is the stuff of life."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei couldn't laugh or cry, and their depressed mood suddenly turned to joy. The young couple crowded into a single sofa and sat down, extremely happy.
"Brother Liu, are you in such a good state of mind now? You are like an artist in this state." Wen Muye was also amused.
After hearing this, Liu Yi stopped pretending and vomited bitterly: "The first disaster movie "Hope" should reflect all kinds of human nature. Thinking about it makes my head hurt. I go out and face this society every day just to observe, Whenever you see the owner of a steamed bun shop selling steamed buns to customers, you should consider whether there is any human touch in the transaction."
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei slapped the sofa with laughter.
"What are you talking about? You are so happy?" Liu Xiaoli finished ordering the meal and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was so cheerful, she was also happy for it: "Help move the coffee table out so that we can eat later."
The coffee table was a bit heavy, so Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei worked with everyone to help lift it out.
This group of people were depressed because of the sudden humiliation, but they became happy because of Liu Yi's few witty words.
Philip, who was humiliating them behind their backs, originally had no worries, but now he looked sad because of the person he was humiliating.
……
Downstairs room.
Phillip's face looked ugly because the message in the text message on his phone was not good for him: [Your "Black Hole" is in danger, and "Hope" may be a dark horse. 】
【"hope"?That short film from China? 】
Philip couldn't believe it. He would believe any short film that said it was Dark Horse. Only the Hua Guo short film said it was Dark Horse, which made him baffled. The main reason was that this short film was science fiction.
Does Huaguo have science fiction?
Are there any directors in China who know how to make science fiction?
Is there any company in China that can produce and edit science fiction?
never heard of that!
If the person who sent the text message was not a Cannes judge, he thought the text message was playing a joke on him.
[After the screening in the morning, we judges gathered together to have lunch. Although it was not the day of selection yet, we could hear the judges’ tendencies from their words.
Eighty-nine out of ten judges are leaning towards "Hope", while "Summer in Norway" is almost uninterested. Such a one-sided situation has rarely been seen in the past. I don't need to say more about what this means. 】
Philip found it incredible that eight or nine out of ten judges favored "Hope"? Is "Summer in Norway" almost ignored?
What does it mean that this situation occurs before the official selection?It shows that the quality of "Hope" is far superior to "Summer in Norway", and it can only be due to this reason.
However, the quality of the short films that can be shortlisted for Cannes from all over the world is very high. According to the past situation, even the short film that finally won the award is not much better than the short film with the lowest number of votes. It is difficult for the difference in votes to be too big.
It seems that "Hope" completely destroyed "Summer in Norway"?But why "Hope"?
[In the next stage, I will stagger the groups of your "Black Hole" and "Hope". Your "Black Hole" and "Hope" will most likely enter the final selection.
You also know that the Cannes selection rules are based on comprehensive evaluation from many aspects. It cannot be mixed with too many personal preferences and personal perceptions. It must be based on multiple excellent viewing reports, media comments, on-site feedback and the media’s random opinions on the audience. Interview feedback, etc., to ultimately make a choice that seems fair.
If it comes to the final stage and it is "Black Hole" and "Hope" that decide the winner, under comprehensive consideration, if the quality gap between the evaluated films is not big, I will help you. If the quality gap is too big...]
The text message ended abruptly.
Philip understood what was left unfinished. If the quality gap was too large, his teacher would give up helping him.
He was a little embarrassed, but he could understand it. After all, the screening was public, and the audience and the media were not fools. If the gap was too large and the winning work was of lower quality, it would be an insult to the audience, the media, and the media. IQ of all guests.
These people come from all over the world and are uncontrollable factors. Unlike film and television festivals held only within one country, the follow-up of behind-the-scenes operations that insult IQ can also be prevented by controlling the media to prevent the spread of some news.
But in the face of media from all over the world, if there is an obvious behind-the-scenes operation, how can we stop the spread of this news?There's just no way to stop it.
Once some negative remarks break out, it will lose credibility and damage Cannes' reputation.
His teacher, as a Cannes judge and enjoying the resources brought by the Cannes judges, naturally did not want to see this scene and did not dare to do it.
From the content of the text message, it can be seen that in the eyes of his teacher, his "Black Hole" seems to be far inferior to "Hope"?
How can this be?
Philip didn't believe it. His "Black Hole" dug deep into the greed of human nature in three minutes, and made three levels of progression to show human nature, and also mapped the hidden rules of society at three different levels.
I wonder who in his 20s, as a director, can shoot a short film with such connotation and depth in 3 minutes?
He condensed all his thoughts on human greed into three minutes of lens language. It can be said that it is the essence from beginning to end, and every frame is worth pondering.
Such a work was called a "masterpiece" by his team.
But now, in the eyes of teachers, they seem to be no match for science fiction short films from the film and television industry or from the wild land of China?
Phillip's mind was confused, and he sent a text message in hopes of confirming the matter: [Teacher, putting aside other factors, which one has better overall quality, "Black Hole" or "Hope"? 】
He stared at the text message waiting for a reply, but the other person didn't reply. It seemed like his teacher was hesitant, or he was considering whether to attack his students, but in the end he told the truth: ["Hope". 】
Phillip was startled, and his face gradually darkened. (End of chapter)
The whole family looked at everyone with smiles on their faces, and everything seemed to be going well.
"How is it?" Chu Xuan asked.
Wen Mino and others turned around and walked out of the theater with the family.
"The response from all four rounds was pretty good," Liu Yidao said.
"Same here." Kong Sheng said.
"It can be considered as a blockbuster effect." Li Xue said.

These people come from all over the world and are uncontrollable factors. Unlike film and television festivals held only within one country, the follow-up of behind-the-scenes operations that insult IQ can also be prevented by controlling the media to prevent the spread of some news.
But in the face of media from all over the world, if there is an obvious behind-the-scenes operation, how can we stop the spread of this news?There's just no way to stop it.
Once some negative remarks break out, it will lose credibility and damage Cannes' reputation.
His teacher, as a Cannes judge and enjoying the resources brought by the Cannes judges, naturally did not want to see this scene and did not dare to do it.
From the content of the text message, it can be seen that in the eyes of his teacher, his "Black Hole" seems to be far inferior to "Hope"?
How can this be?
Philip didn't believe it. His "Black Hole" dug deep into the greed of human nature in three minutes, and made three levels of progression to show human nature, and also mapped the hidden rules of society at three different levels.
I wonder who in his 20s, as a director, can shoot a short film with such connotation and depth in 3 minutes?
He condensed all his thoughts on human greed into three minutes of lens language. It can be said that it is the essence from beginning to end, and every frame is worth pondering.
Such a work was called a "masterpiece" by his team.
But now, in the eyes of teachers, they seem to be no match for science fiction short films from the film and television industry or from the wild land of China?
Phillip's mind was confused, and he sent a text message in hopes of confirming the matter: [Teacher, putting aside other factors, which one has better overall quality, "Black Hole" or "Hope"? 】
He stared at the text message waiting for a reply, but the other person didn't reply. It seemed like his teacher was hesitant, or he was considering whether to attack his students, but in the end he told the truth: ["Hope". 】
Phillip was startled, and his face gradually darkened. (End of chapter)
