rising director

"In the previous Golden Rooster Awards, the judges were non-experts, and they have been criticized. This year, more than half of the judges are experts, but it is still the same old balance, and it is even worse. There are only four special awards, and they are tied for awards. It is also the four leading, what is this for?"

"Chinese film is on the verge of reform!"

"Magic City News Chronicle" focused on the special awards of the Golden Rooster Awards: "Last night, the Golden Rooster Awards won four special awards in a row. Tenzin Zhuoga, the winner of the Special Award for Best Supporting Actress, stood on the podium She seemed so lonely and out of place. She was probably the only one who really cared about this movie award, innocently moved by the glory brought by the movie, but didn't know that the special award was just a consolation. Gong Li deserved the award for Best Actress ?"

"Wan Xiaohu, the youngest director in China that night, won three special awards for best screenplay, best director and best feature film. After the awards were presented, Wan Xiaohu laughed at himself as the most special director in China. The author learned from this film festival On the Internet, the biggest gains are "Waiting Alone" and "Butterfly Effect" directed by Wan Xiaohu. Especially "Butterfly Effect". The judges of the Golden Rooster Awards bluntly said that the people in "The Butterfly Effect" didn't care enough, and the special award is only a reward for rare themes, which is especially ridiculous!"

A reporter from "National Photographic News" published a column, saying: "The Golden Rooster Award has finally come to light! Unlike the last time I guessed the Changqiu Film Festival, my prediction this time is definitely a complete failure."

"Best actor is wrong, best actress is wrong, best director and best picture are right but not right. The only thing that comforts me is that few reporters at the awards scene are better than me Luckily, some of them are just like me, looking for shards of glasses all over the place."

"The failure of this 'gambling award' made me feel ashamed, and at the same time, I understood a lot of new truths, and at the same time, I also had a clearer understanding of the nature of the Chinese film awards: a group of judges who have no position on the wall, a bunch of inexplicable Awards. When the Chinese film awards can’t please the audience, they finally turn to the next best thing—to please the stars or famous directors.”

"So the biggest feature of this year's Golden Rooster Awards is that it is full of 'balance art'. On the one hand, it is reflected in the awards, and no one dares to offend; on the other hand, our filmmakers are seriously out of balance between the film market and the audience's needs You still have to swell your face to fill up your fat, and you have to maintain a half-dead balance."

"Or, because the level of our domestic films is so uniform that we can't even tell the difference between good and bad?"

There are critical media, and naturally there are also media that sing praises.

"Famous Brand Times" stated: "This year's Golden Rooster Awards, outstanding filmmakers all received awards, the great director Zhang Yimou deservedly won the best director, Gong Li Golden Rooster actress, Zhang Yi Hundred Flowers actress, completed a good story. New director Wan Xiaohu even won the special award three times in a row, catching Zhang Yimou's limelight!"

"Beijing Youth Daily" continued to promote Dandelion's film: "The 20-year-old director Wan Xiaohu, at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival's new film "Butterfly Effect", has a new record of word-of-mouth. After watching it, the majority of students in the West clapped their hands and applauded."

Anyway, during this period of time, the media covered the Golden Rooster Awards.Wan Xiaohu's three consecutive special awards has also become one of the hottest topics, which has greatly helped the hype of "Butterfly Effect".

After Wan Xiaohu came back, he hid in the company and flipped through the newspaper to read his own news.

Among the reports that were praised or dismissed, a report in the "National Materials Daily" attracted Wan Xiaohu's attention.

"Who will pay attention to Chinese movies?"

This is the headline of the report, which said: "The vigorous Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has come to an end. From the beginning of Feng Xiaogang's bombardment of the Golden Rooster Award to the end of the three best feature films, the stars competed and the judges broke the bottom line. The entire film festival is a scene of reporters and stars. The entertainment interaction among them. Whether it’s revealing the bottom line or promoting it to the sky, what the audience pays attention to is always only the stars and directors. And almost no one cares about the films on display.”

"Old filmmaker, Xie Fei once vomited sour water to the media: "The film market in China is too bad now. Many films do not have special distribution channels, so the invested funds cannot be recovered, and many films produced cannot be seen by audiences. People carry a reputation of losing money.' His film "Yishi Zhuoma" is facing such a situation. He believes that the current Chinese film system must be reformed in a down-to-earth manner. Laid off, not self-rescue, only to make some movies that the state allocated money, but can't get back the investment."

"In the end, Xie Fei said that he would switch to TV dramas and has no plans to make movies for the time being. 'Making money from TV dramas can also be done by teaching. There are more students and more income.' This has to be said, it is the sorrow of Chinese filmmakers. Movies can't enter the public's field of vision at all, and so many stars are popular every year, but in the end, domestic movies are getting worse day by day."

"Today's national film market has fallen to the lowest point after the 80s, with piracy, strict censorship, no business clues, and stiff content. If things go on like this, what kind of state will Chinese films go to? Mr. Lu Xun once said Well done, 'If you don't erupt in silence, you will perish in silence'. Looking forward, the Chinese film will usher in an explosion, not an end!"

After reading this report, Wan Xiaohu's original narcissistic mood suddenly disappeared.

Xie Fei, whom Wan Xiaohu knew, turned out to be the vice president of Nortel.Went out of school to make movies, as he said, and then returned to Nortel to teach.

Chinese movies are difficult now.

There is no market if there is a market, no audience if there is an audience, talent but no talent, and a mechanism without a mechanism.The reform of the theater system has not been introduced for a long time. The survival of filmmakers, especially Japanese filmmakers, is in a poor state, which can almost be compared with Iranian films, and it is not as good as Iran in terms of openness.

At present, China can make more than 300 films every year, and 270 films have no chance of being released at all.

Another 02 or [-] have to lose money. Of the last ten, maybe three of them are real moneymakers, and the other seven rely on the main theme to win the box office.This is a huge blow to the enthusiasm of filmmakers.Even if the theatrical chain system was introduced in [-], the Chinese film market will become more and more popular.

It's just that the movie market is booming.

If it weren't for the domestic film protection month, Chinese films would have fallen under the attack of Hollywood.In 2014, before Wan Xiaohu's rebirth, the market reached a new high. A "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" cost one billion yuan in the mainland, but it was shabby overseas and had a bad reputation.

At that time, South Korea, a small country close to it, had already risen in the movies, and the Chinese movies were still third-rate in the world.Wang Jiawei struggled for many years to release a "The Grandmaster", which could not even conquer his own people, but he boasted that he wanted to conquer Oscar, but he came back disheartened.

Back and forth, how many times the slogan was chanted, but the Chinese movies could not be released.

Both Japan and South Korea have produced many classic films in the new millennium, which are famous in film history. Even Brother Ah San has made many good films, but Chinese films have never found a direction.Then, while wandering, those with a little brains will make money, and those without brains will directly blame the review.

The stars are even more impressed by the country's rapid economic development, and they all claim to enter Hollywood, but in the end they all play supporting roles that are almost useless.There are very few people who are really down-to-earth and study for Chinese films!

"I am reborn once again. Do I just muddle through and live my life in style? Or do I also contribute to Chinese movies and make some contributions?"

Holding the newspaper, Wan Xiaohu was at a loss.

Who doesn't have a sparkling red heart, who doesn't have any ideals and ambitions?

0109【The future can be expected】

In the capital city in October 2000, there was a kind of foggy haze.

Putting down the newspaper, walking to the window, and looking at the scenery outside through the glass, Wan Xiaohu had a hard time expressing how he felt right now.

Lihuayuan Community is not a high-end community, and the distance between the buildings is not that big. Through the gap between the two buildings, you can see the overpass in the distance, and the cars are speeding past.And a little farther away, there is a building that is rising from the ground, trapped in the mist, far mysterious.

The farce of the Golden Rooster Awards has received unprecedented heated discussions.

Whether it is praise or criticism, the repercussions are huge. As the highest award for Chinese films, no matter how much the common people don't like Chinese films, they will feel a little bit of emotion or comment.

Therefore, although Wan Xiaohu didn't think much of the Golden Rooster Award from the very beginning.Still ran over to participate in the exhibition, and then won three special awards in a lively manner, and successfully publicized "The Butterfly Effect". Filmmakers from all over the country asked for distribution instead of Wang Lei begging them. Compared with "Alone "Waiting" went well at the beginning.

Thinking about it now, Wan Xiaohu was a little unhappy.

I just went to the film festival to do publicity, and Zhang Yimou can direct, it's not the same, I just went to do publicity.No one really takes the film festival seriously, so it's not unacceptable for them to judge the judges no matter how pretentious, how condescending, or how unlimited the awards are.

It is this kind of indifference that makes the Golden Rooster Award more and more sick.

From the promotion of the Golden Rooster Award to Chinese films, perhaps it is because everyone doesn't care about it and only cares about their own interests, so Chinese films have always been difficult to catch fire.No art, no quality, reduced to second-rate in Asia, third-rate in the world!

"Maybe, we don't like movies, but we just love being famous and liking Deli."

Shaking his head, Wan Xiaohu laughed at himself.

He really wanted to say that he would lead Chinese films to the world and conquer Asia, Europe, Africa, the United States and Australia.It's a pity that he doesn't think he has this ability, at least now he is just a small director who can make movies by borrowing good movies from his mind and memory.Talking about leadership, talking about vertical and horizontal, is too empty.

"I'd better concentrate on being myself, maybe one day, I will really become an international director, and then tell Chinese movies that I love you!"

Shaking his jacket, Wan Xiaohu threw all these sentiments and worries out of his mind.

To live again, I agreed to live a chic and comfortable life.

Why do you need so many fetters!

Jingle Bell.

Just as Wan Xiaohu regained his unrestrained attitude, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Is it director Wan Xiaohu?" The other end of the phone came in broken Mandarin with a Cantonese accent.

"I am, you are."
