I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Fa Ge didn't know what to say.

When rich people pretend to be better, just listen to it.

Fortunately, he is also considered a rich man, so he can barely understand Lin Dong's mood, and Lin Dong's obsession with meat does not seem to be pretending.

I haven't congratulated you for winning the Best Supporting Actor yet. The best actor is a matter of time. Is New Shushan interested in participating in the Academy Awards? Fa Ge asked.

I probably won't go, Lin Dong found a reason and said, Xinshu Mountain doesn't meet the selection requirements?

In addition to the limited screening time, the Golden Image Award also requires that the film must be longer than 60 minutes, must sell tickets in Hong Kong, and must have no less than five screenings within a week.

This is not a big deal. In fact, many movies in the mainland can be screened in Xiangjiang.

What really keeps mainland films out of the Hong Kong Film Awards are a few conditions that are simply wonderful.

To be shortlisted for the Golden Statue Award, first, the director must be a Hong Kong resident with a Hong Kong permanent resident ID card;

Second, one of the production companies must be a legally registered company in Hong Kong;

Third, the film has at least six working project staff members who are Hong Kong residents, counting on the basis of 16 awards: producer, screenwriter, leading actor, leading actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, new actor, photography, action design, art direction , costume styling, editing, original film music, original film songs, sound effects and visual effects.

Only one Xiangjiang staff member will be counted for each work item; if more than one of the composer, lyrics and lead singer of the original film song is a Xiangjiang staff member, only one of them will be counted.

For the above three items, at least two conditions must be met in order to be eligible to be called Xiangjiang films and to be shortlisted for the Golden Image Awards.

In the early days, when the Academy Award was still in Eastern Hollywood, mainland films would indeed try to meet two of the conditions, such as hiring a Xiangjiang assistant director, for example finding a Xiangjiang company to participate in the production, for example, more than six Item has Xiangjiang staff.

Now Xiangjiang is no longer good, and neither is the Academy Award.

Who the hell is so cheap to meet your conditions, love or not, sooner or later the Academy Awards will become inferior to emerging awards like the Media Awards.

What a pity. Fa Ge was silent for a while, and finally just sighed.

He is now so respected that he can almost represent the face of Xiangjiang movies, but he is still powerless to change the rules of the Academy Awards.

New Shushan has Xu Guai joined, and there is also Xu Guai's edited version, but Xu Guai's label in the creation column is the producer, the one with the first pick, so it cannot meet the first requirement.

The second item is not satisfied either. New Shushan is an exclusive film produced and distributed by Kleist.

With Chill 2, the Academy Awards next year will definitely be very lively. Lin Dong praised the other party, but it sounded more like irony, meaning that with local snakes like you, I used Xin Shushan as a foil of it?

Fa Ge didn't know whether Lin Dong had this intention, but he didn't really care about it.

He thought very clearly, since we are all one family, we will integrate with each other sooner or later, if we really want to eat this bowl of rice, we can just come to the mainland to work.

It's as if a large number of mainlanders used to join the entertainment industry in the 1990s.

There is no need to hold it all the time.

Are you interested in investing in Xiangjiang Films? Oh, forget it, it's not a Xiangjiang film. They are all Chinese-language films. I recently came across a project and it feels good. It's not the same as Chill, but it lacks investment. .”

He was talking about Zhuang Wenqi's No Two.

As early as 2008, Zhuang Wenqi created the 10,000-character story outline of Unique in two days, but at that time his work was very unsatisfactory, and no one wanted the script he wrote.

It was not until 2011 that No Two had a complete script, but it was too late to start filming.

One is that because of the sensitive subject matter, it was not until 2014 that Zhuang Wenqi got the filming permit and started preparing for the film.

The second is that the investment is huge. There are many big action scenes in the script. Friends advised him to reduce the number of action scenes and shoot them in cheap ways, but Zhuang Wenqi was unwilling to compromise.

The third is based on the previous two reasons, no boss is willing to invest.

Without money, everything is useless.

However, Zhuang Wenqi has grown up from the bottom layer, and what he lacks most is resilience.

The three Eavesdropping established his position in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and people began to approach him for funding, but the current entertainment companies in Hong Kong are all sluggish, and they really can't get any money.

Those who have money, use it to shoot some legends of the gods, to praise their sons.

Could it be...

Lin Dong came to the Capital International Film Festival to see if there were any suitable projects.

It's a pity that everyone is chatting with him now. Two of the three sentences are inseparable from Xin Shushan. They are all asking whether Xin Shushan should be made a sequel. Role.

Now, finally, someone approached him about the project.

It still exists like the first brother in the film industry - the reason why it used to be is that Xiangjiang Entertainment is no longer good, and many of Fa Ge's appearances in the mainland are bad movies.

He is not even comparable to Liang Zihui and Liu Furong.

Let's talk about this movie, is there a simple script or something?

Lin Dong wiped his hands, there was something in his stomach, so he didn't panic.

Brother Fa really couldn't get it out for a while, but he had seen the script many times, so he briefly introduced to Lin Dong what the story might be.

It's a bit like The Usual Suspects. Lin Dong has watched a lot of movies, and he is not inferior to the native filmmakers here.

Ultimate Suspect, I've noticed this too, so I looked it up a few times. There are indeed some similarities in terms of creativity, as well as structure, but the plot is absolutely original, and it's even more exciting than Ultimate Suspect. Fa Ge There is no avoiding the question.

To the maven, avoidance is just screwing things up.

If the audience points it out, they will not admit it even if they are killed. If they admit it, not only will the reputation of the director and screenwriter be ruined, but hundreds of people's months of hard work will also be in vain.

Therefore, it is not a matter of being stubborn or not, but a matter of rice bowls.

But if you are so stubborn in front of investors, then you really don't need to continue talking.

When talking about investment, you have to follow the investor's lead. If he questions you, even if you don't have such a thing, you can't just veto it. You have to prove your innocence by beating around the bush.

But No Two is really not so innocent, at least you can't say that it has no connection with the creativity.

There is also the final reversal, which is really not something that ordinary minds can come up with. Christopher McCauley, the screenwriter of The Usual Suspects, won an Oscar, British Academy of Film Arts Award, and Independent Spirit Award for this film. Three Best Screenplay Awards.

In Lin Dong's mind, probably The Former Destination can be compared with it.

Today is Monday, I am too tired, the evening is gone, and tomorrow will continue with three chapters
