Chapter 178 Island Country Nomination
At the company's celebration banquet, all the top executives and shareholders were present, surrounded by Ding Cheng like a star, finally found an opportunity to get away, and complained to Sister Hua: "These people are too enthusiastic, aren't they?"

"A group of dogs!" Sister Hua said disdainfully: "They are all greedy for money, as long as they can make money for them, they can say anything shameless."

Ding Cheng curled his lips. Hearing that the upcoming Blizzard was the biggest surprise for the company this year, it was no wonder that he was rushing to show his hospitality when investing in several movies with the highest returns.

Sister Hua was afraid that Ding Cheng would feel bad after drinking, so she dragged him away from the battlefield, and returned to the office to drink tea to sober up.

"The box office is second, the main thing is this." After speaking, he took out an invitation card and said with a smile, "Two nominations for the Tokyo Film Festival!"

Ding Cheng was taken aback for a moment. He knew that Blizzard was coming to sign up for the film festival, but it was...

"Don't underestimate the devil's film festival, one of the nine international A-category film festivals, the highest level event in Asia."

"The Shanghai Film Festival and the Busan Film Festival are known as the three Asian giants, but in fact the latter two are younger brothers, and their history is incomparable with Tokyo."

Ding Cheng looked at the nominations, Best Actor, and Best Artistic Contribution Award.

Sister Hua said with satisfaction: "This year, you are very lucky. You just won the Golden Rooster Male Supporting Role, and now you have another Tokyo Best Actor."

"It's just a nomination." Ding Cheng said with a smile, "It's not certain if you win an award or not."

Sister Hua waved her hand and analyzed: "In my opinion, the chances are very high. Tokyo has always favored our Chinese-language films. There have been six best actors. This time, not only you, but Zhao Wei was also invited to attend as a judge. "

"What's more, only one of our works is shortlisted this time!"

Seeing Ding Cheng's disapproval, he continued: "It is the Tokyo Film Festival's regulations and standards for a country to be shortlisted for a film in the main competition."

"Combined with the performance of Chinese-language films in Tokyo over the years, it is very rare for a film to receive more than two nominations for the main competition unit at the same time. I checked from 87 to now, and it has only appeared 7 times."

"For example, the earliest "Patio" directed by Wu Tianming won the Golden Qilin Award, so Lao Mouzi also won the Best Actor."

Ding Cheng was speechless. Could it be that all the great directors were actors?
"The key point is that the first six times all appeared before 2000, and only 10 years later, "Guanyin Mountain" won the Best Artistic Contribution Award, and Bingbing won the Best Actress Award at the same time, and then no film appeared and received two nominations .”

"These are other nominated works, most of which are realistic themes, such as "Grain", which is the most popular film for the best film, focusing on the world's food problems, and "Crater", the jury's special award, focuses on Italian grassroots stars..."

"Achilo, nominated for the Best Director Award, exposed the problem of human trafficking in Malaysia, which to some extent shows the film festival jury's preference for realistic films."

Speaking of this, Sister Hua said helplessly: "Our domestically popular movies are in a mess, but they are all unacceptable abroad. Do you know how much the box office of Wolf Warrior is in the United States?"

"$19 million!"

"When it comes to commercial blockbusters, we are indeed far behind others. The routines are left over from others. Not to mention special effects, we are at least 15 years behind."

"On the contrary, the ones that are popular in the eyes of foreigners, such as "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"..."

"Looking at these movies, they are basically themes that reflect social reality, and themes that reflect traditional culture are what they are more interested in."

"To tell the truth, we are exposing our own shortcomings!"

"Poverty, backwardness, ignorance, and full of local flavor. But in the eyes of foreigners, apart from artistic quality, they feel that this is a real China, and real things are tasteful works of art."

Ding Cheng remained silent, and Wang Xiaoshuai's "So Long, My Son" won the Best Actor and Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival last year, which is the best proof.

The actor Wang Jingchun became the second Berlin Chinese actor after Liao Fan's "Fireworks in the Day". Before Yongmei, there were Maggie Cheung and Xiao Fangfang.

From a higher perspective, even at the three major international film festivals, this is the first time that a Chinese-language film has won the best actor and best actress trophies at the same time.

I have studied this movie specifically, spanning 30 years, using two families in the 80s as the carrier, and using friendship, love and family as the clues, to show the social changes and the ups and downs of the world with very national characteristics.

The son's drowning is of course the biggest contradiction in the movie, but putting this incident into the long 30 years, the combination of the pain of bereavement and the unique background of the times caused a more profound and long-lasting shock.

Going to the mountains and countryside in the 70s, family planning in the 80s, and the wave of layoffs in the 90s...

The special events of these special years have imprinted a distinctive mark on the generation represented by the hero, which also makes "Everlasting and Forever" imbue the bond between the two families with a strong color of the times.

In fact, since Chinese-language films appeared on the stage of the International Film Festival, the Chinese-language films that have been favored by foreign judges and audiences have a lot in common with "Everlasting and Everlasting".

Choose a history with special significance and far-reaching influence as the background.For example, "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" focuses on the popularization of the law, especially the period when it was the most popular in rural areas;
"Three Gorges" is based on the world-famous Three Gorges Project to create the tone of the entire movie.

"Farewell My Concubine", which has only won the Best Picture Palme d'Or for Chinese films so far, is known as the [-] best films in the history of the world, and the pride of Director Victor...

Because the time span is larger than "Everlasting Earth" and the historical background is more ups and downs, it can receive such high praise.

On the contrary, at the highly dramatic time point, these award-winning works rarely spend a lot of space to construct specific background information, and usually only understate important historical events.

The starting point is to start with ordinary people and ordinary families, and more pen and ink are used to describe the details of the protagonist's life.

The impact of the general environment on ordinary people is buried in these small details, which are inconspicuous at first glance, but it is painful to think about it.

The four brothers of the Lin family in "A City of Sadness" just want to manage their lives well.

In "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju", the pregnant Qiu Ju went all the way from the countryside to the city to sue, but in the end all she wanted was an explanation.

The miners and nurses in "The Good Man in Three Gorges" are just looking for their own homes and reliance.

As for Cheng Dieyi, in the troubled times, he just wanted to sing well.

It seems that there are various choices and countless opportunities, but in the end they are just pushed by the torrent of the times, step by step towards the end of the same destination.

Therefore, the biggest commonality of these works is that they all end up based on the special quality of "human beings".The emotions, qualities and even instincts of these people are the shining points that flow across the world across languages ​​and national boundaries.

Yaojun and Liyun couple who lost their son but still live for each other.

Tuya, who has to take her disabled husband with her when she remarries.

No matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to adjust the scenery and take a family portrait of Wenqing and Kuanmei.

Even if I die, I have to sing Cheng Dieyi of "Farewell My Concubine" with my senior brother...

These blind optimism, tenacious optimism and omnipotent love are the commonness of human nature!
Even if we are as small as ants in the torrent of the times, these commonalities allow us to learn how to find fun in ordinary life and move forward under the weight of cruel reality.

In the end, everyone can find a way to reconcile with the past, and then face the magnificent life indifferently.

And no matter when and where, life should be like this!

Analyzing it this way, Blizzard is coming does have its own unique features.

The plot obviously refers to several works of Keigo Higashino, and the background focuses on the torrent of the great era, coupled with a cold and objective aesthetic perspective...

Don't say,
Really hopeful!
"It's a good thing to be nominated, not to mention the nine major international film festivals." Sister Hua poured tea to Ding Cheng: "Once you are born and you are familiar with each other, this time, let's take a trip and travel to relax."

Ding Cheng chuckled, this is possible.

Tokyo,

How many men dream of the Holy Land.

Calculating that there is less than half a month left, at the opening ceremony at the end of October, as an official shortlisted guest, there will be at least three to four minutes of red carpet time, and there may even be a special interview.

The next step is to follow the steps, exercise, shoot commercials, and do public welfare.

I have become accustomed to winning awards, and of course I am looking forward to it, but I won’t be as excited as the first time. If there is too much of something, it doesn’t matter.

Instead, it is emotional training. After more than two years of unremitting efforts, only the last two events are left, which are only a thin line away from victory, which makes Ding Cheng very excited.

What is the next stage?
