Chapter 256 Me and the Motherland
"Based on Asia, focusing on Chinese, supporting newcomers!"

Standing in front of the press conference of the International Film Festival with a radiant face, Ding Cheng said impassionedly: "The positioning of the Shanghai Film Festival this time is very clear. On a cultural land with a long history, profound heritage and rich and colorful culture, we will strengthen our civilization and self-confidence, and adhere to the development of the Asian film festival. The exchange and mutual learning of film culture among countries will promote common development."

As an image ambassador, what you do is to shout hard.

"It's a great honor to be the image ambassador of the film festival this time, and to participate as one of the judges..."

"Whether it's film screening or cooperation and exchange, the film festival has always paid great attention to the recommendation and introduction of Asian films. At the Cannes Film Festival last year, two Asian films won awards: one "Shoulders" and the other Lebanese "Why Is Home?" "."

"Last year, we immediately invited these two films and their crews to Shanghai to participate in the screening at that time. The interaction between the creators and mainland fans was very lively, especially "Shoplifters", which became the most popular film at the screening, and it was hard to get a ticket. ."

"The good word-of-mouth and market response they have generated has also allowed domestic distributors to see opportunities. After the introduction and release this year, "The Thieves" has a box office of over 3.5 million, and "Why Home" has reached [-] million!"

"As a literary film produced at a low cost, such an achievement also shows the influence of the Shanghai International Film Festival."

In the face of the media, Ding Cheng talked eloquently, Yaozai had done enough homework, and said confidently: "From the perspective of industry insiders, we have embarked on a new path of film cooperation and introduction: through film festival screenings, we will show and build momentum for the core audience of art films. , and form the initial fermentation of word of mouth.”

"Domestic distributors use a series of online and offline promotions such as short videos and word-of-mouth screenings to promote the film to a wider range of users, drive word-of-mouth to further ferment, and ultimately promote the increase in the film's screening rate."

"The success of the two films fully proves the huge spillover effect of the Shanghai Film Festival!"

The sound shook the audience like a bell, and it was full of confidence, so that everyone could feel the strong confidence from the organizer.

"Take the past two years as an example. The Philippine film "Three Wheels of Life" won the Golden Goblet's best film the year before last, and the Iranian film "The Financing Storm" won the jury award. Last year, the Mongolian film "The Golden Goblet" won the best film. Farewell to Paradise》…”

"After these films won awards at the Shanghai Film Festival, they not only attracted more attention in their countries, but also attracted more Asian filmmakers to participate in the Shanghai Film Festival. The registration became more and more enthusiastic, forming a virtuous circle..."

"This year, there are 112 countries and regions applying for films, and more than 3964 films have participated. There are 36 countries in Asia, and 1772 films have been submitted..."

Looking at various media, Ding Cheng showed a bright smile and said sincerely: "Now we have established cooperation mechanisms with Tokyo International Film Festival, Indonesia Asian Film Festival, Macau International Film Festival, India Mumbai Film Festival, etc."

"It not only opens up a new channel for Chinese-language films to go global, but also encourages audiences from different countries in Asia to enhance understanding and communicate with each other in the exchange and mutual learning of films."

"This year, an unprecedented series of five Asian national film exhibitions have been planned, so that more Asian films can be watched in the Belt and Road Film Week, Golden Goblet nominated films, Asian Newcomer Award nominated films and other screening units."

"All the judges unanimously expressed the hope that through the selection, more talented Asian film newcomers will emerge!"

The judges stood on the stage and asked the media to take pictures. Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Ding Cheng under the spotlight and gave him a thumbs up. Awesome!
The appeal of actors is not only on the big screen,

Works just as well in real life.

At the end of the press conference, all the judges came to the hotel and began to look at the shortlisted works.In fact, it has already been auditioned, otherwise it would be impossible to finish watching thousands of movies.

Ding Cheng looked directly under the ice, and his main job was to be an image ambassador. The so-called judges were just to look good, and of course they also had the right to vote.

After reading it with a frown, I shook my head secretly. Generally speaking, I am not very optimistic!

It's too stream-of-consciousness, and a few flashbacks are a bit mystifying, which is very unfriendly to the audience.

There are too many things I want to express, full of stuff, love, suspense, and finally want to sublimate morally?
It turned out to be nothing!

The best picture is definitely not going to happen, and I can't even pass this test.Huang Bo's acting skills are quite online, which is the only bright spot, and he can vote for the best actor.

After watching it to take a breath, I happened to meet another judge and came up to say hello. It was Cao Baoping?
It is also a director with a very unique style. A scorching sun made Deng Chao and Duan Yihong the best actor, and received rave reviews.

I have also read Li Mi's conjecture, and I think it is good. Last year, Gou Shisan caused widespread heated discussions in the society.

The first time they met, the two had a few simple and polite words. Cao Baoping looked at Ding Cheng and tentatively said, "Is there any schedule recently? There is a book I want you to read."

Ding Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, let's make an appointment to chat after we finish."

Still wanting to say something, suddenly the phone rang, and Cheng Daoming said there was something urgent?

Flying back to the capital quickly, the meeting took out three scripts without saying a word, and showed them: "70 years of Daqing gift film, I plan to find seven directors, each with 10 minutes, see which script you like?"

Ding Cheng picked up the first one, looked at it and asked, "How fast?"

"Hey, I can't help it. Waiting for the higher-ups to procrastinate until today, even the post-production period will be up to two and a half months!"

Cheng Daoming sighed and said helplessly: "Fortunately, it's easy to get things done when there are many people. The seven directors each went their own way and finally worked together to complete the project."

"The other teams are basically assembled, and there are only the last three left. Let's choose next to you."

Ding Cheng chuckled, picked up the second notebook, and skimmed through it quickly, feeling a little disappointed.Every special year has a gift film, and all the stars and big names star in it with zero pay. It is not easy to show their faces in it.

Picking up the third notebook, just after reading the first two pages, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "That's it!"

Cheng Daoming laughed loudly, and said with a little hand: "I guess you will choose it!"

Sure enough, I read the right person, the most challenging of the three scripts.

"Let's put everything aside and join the group as soon as possible!" Cheng Daoming put away the other two scripts, and said: "The task is very important. Act with your heart. Someone must pay attention to it."

Ding Cheng nodded, and called Sister Hua to tell Yaozai to contact the crew and start work as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, I also told Cao Baoping that the other party understood very well. After all, it was a big task, so we will talk after we finish the appointment.

When I got home, I took out the script again and studied it carefully.The director is Zhang Yibai, a commercial director known as the best at making romance films.

The theme is Encounter, and the male lead is Gao Yuan, a scientific research technician in the 60s and [-]s who secretly participated in the research and development of nuclear bombs. He remained incognito for three years and dedicated his life to the country in obscurity.

The story is very touching, especially the love-hate parting with the heroine. Although it is very short, it is very touching.

Called the next day, went to the first script reading meeting, came to the hotel, the opponent was actually an acquaintance?
Ren Suxi!
When she saw that the male lead turned out to be Ding Cheng, she also excitedly said: "Finally, I have the opportunity to play with Ding Cheng's mentor!"

Everyone roared with laughter, the director and screenwriter, the four of them sat down and began to study the script. Although it was only about 20 minutes long, they must not be sloppy at all as a gift to the motherland.
