Become a dramatist from today

Huang Baiyou didn't arrive at the conference room last, but as the chairman, he needed to go to the organizing committee to get the master tapes of the sixteen shortlisted films.

The review will take about a week. The jury will select six awards (Golden Unicorn Award, Special Jury Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Actress Award) through three rounds of voting, two named and one anonymous. Actor Award, Best Artistic Contribution Award).

Let’s talk about two common senses: the audience award in the main competition unit is voted by the audience on site, and this section has nothing to do with the jury.

Secondly, domestic celebrities often publish press releases saying that they have won the Golden Crane Award at the Tokyo Film Festival or something.

To fool little fans, the Golden Crane Award is a unit [Chinese Film Week] that is a collaboration between China and Neon. Originally, only Chinese films were participating.

As for the gold content——

For example, the Earth 2022 Golden Crane Award is "Walking Alone on the Moon", and the Jury Prize is "Mozart in Outer Space"...

"Directors, do we need to introduce ourselves?" Huang Baiyou returned to the conference room. Seeing the solemn atmosphere, he took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Mr. Standing Truman needs no introduction, we all know him." Swedish female director Hammer said, "I am the Swedish director Hammer."

Mexican director Singer said, "I don't know many Asians, and Mr. Standing is a star I often see on Facebook."

Strictly speaking, out of the five directors present, only Singer is the one to direct a film, because Mexico is backed by the United States.

The remaining four can only say that they hold international awards and have a lot of fame in their own countries, so it would be good to introduce themselves separately.

"Then let's get started." Jinchang said, "Let's go directly to the theme. "The Yellow Sea of ​​Resentment" is a work that I am personally looking forward to. It tells the true story that happened in Incheon Metropolitan City on the edge of the Yellow Sea."

Art has no national boundaries, but artists have nationalities and juries have more personal preferences.

The South Korean director's personal preference is to take care of his country's works.

"How about watching this movie as the first one?" Jinchang said.

Jinchang's face is a relatively upright Chinese character, with small eyes, thick lips, and bangs that are welded to his forehead. His appearance is mature and reliable, but on the inside - look at this over-the-top appearance.

The chairman hasn't even spoken yet, so you just start talking in a loud voice, how about that? This is not good.

Singer and Hammer stood clearly on Huang Baiyou's side, and they looked at the chairman.

Ichiro Yasuda lowered his head and looked at the list of shortlisted works, and refused to answer Jinchang's words. He also wanted to one day cooperate with the "acting master" Huang Baiyou.

Hollywood producer Bisso can't even talk to him. Even if the whole world is not optimistic about "The Dark Knight", the Truman and John Wick series are enough for him to have a place in the Hollywood film industry. Why should he offend for a stick? What about Standing?

"..." Jinchang didn't expect that his words would be useless at all. After all, he also won the Golden Mouse Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Helpless, Jin Changcai spoke again, "What does the chairman think?"

I don’t understand why the South Korean is hostile to him. Huang Baiyou is not a character who can be rubbed by others. “The fifteen shortlisted films have different styles and types. You cannot arbitrarily specify the order in which to watch the films. There must be a rule. "

"Let's rank them by name, and there are accurate specifications." Huang Bai said, "Who is in favor and who is against?"

"I agree", "I also agree with Mr. Chairman's method", "It is true that our work in the next week must be in a fixed order".

Ichiro Yasuda, Hammer and Singer agreed.

"The Venice Film Festival jury also arranges the films in alphabetical order, which I agree with," said producer Bill.

Yes, he also served as a judge for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival. Bill said this mainly to emphasize this matter.

"What do you think of Director Jin?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"..." The five of you have agreed, so what else can I say? Jinchang responded, "Mr. Chairman is very thoughtful about things, so let's do it this way."

So the first work is "Emilia Girls", and the English title starts with "A".

The fifteen works come from all over the world and do not necessarily have Japanese titles. They all have English titles, which is also a rule of the Tokyo Film Festival.

Hey, why didn't anyone notice the Venice Film Festival judges? Bill noticed that no one mentioned it, and felt a little disappointed.

"Emilia Girls" is a movie from Norway that tells a very illogical story.

The general content is that Emilia, a young girl, sold her body to travel to the East, but unfortunately died in the process...

After Emilia's friend learned about his friend's dream, he decided to sell his body to atone for their sins in exchange for inner purity.

[Story value: 4

Artistic value: 6

Male protagonist: -

Female protagonist: 7

...]

Since Huang Baiyou serves as the chairman of the jury, he is serious. He made a form on the plane and scored it from Six Dimensions.

The male characters didn't have any exciting performances, and it was even said that this was a two-female lead drama, so Huang Baiyou didn't rate it.

After scoring the fifteen movies, you can clearly see which movie can be nominated for which award.

"I want to express, can the filth of the body and the purity of the soul coexist?" Huang Baiyou was thinking about the theme of the movie after watching it. There is nothing wrong with the theme. People can be as born as ants and as beautiful as gods.

But - the discussion of religion is a little too superficial, but it can actually be more in-depth.

"Is there anyone who wants to speak?" Huang Baiyou asked the five people sitting here.

"This movie seems to be a film where the director specifically shielded his own values ​​and turned to religion, which is very weird." Ms. Hammer said, "Religion can be the focus of a movie, but if the only theme of a movie is religion, then it will lack a lot of."

"When I was a judge at the Venice Film Festival, I also saw a similar film." Bill said, "It was directed by Ashe and missed the Golden Lion Award."

"It's a very good work. The director has ideas, but I don't like it." Jinchang said.

"Then let's take a few minutes' rest and take notes. Then we'll watch the next movie." Huang Baiyou didn't express his opinion on the movie. He stood up to drink water.

The next film is from Thailand, about transvestites, watch it...

Huang Baiyou was busy in Tokyo, and Tan Xing, Chu Yuan and others on the other side were also busy because the time was almost up.

No, to be precise, it's not coming soon, it's already here.

December 25th is Christmas again.

"Every Christmas, I feel at ease." Chu Yuan said, "Because during this time, Mr. Huang has never lost."

Originally, Chu Yuan didn't believe in the idea of ​​being the king of the Christmas schedule. After all, it was all a means of publicity.

But Huang Baiyou's achievements made Chu Yuan start to believe in metaphysics.

When "The Dark Knight" is released, it must be a success, Chu Yuan thought.

The movie "Emilia" is based on "The Samaritan Girls", an erotic film. How should I put it? Kim Ki-duk's movies always have a neurotic aesthetic.
