Chapter 9 It's also a reputation (Part 2)
Are actors willing to play passionate scenes?
Scoring situation…
After all, it’s a movie based on real events, No fuck, no life.
Quite right, the appearance of the sex scene helps to express the need for the further development of the relationship between the hero and heroine...
What touches people in the movie is the emotions derived from life, and the emotions between male and female lovers are most perfectly interpreted in applause.
The script adapted from "White Deer Plain" is a bunch of sex scenes. Because director Wang Quan'an saw Qing Yu, the most direct part he showed was also Qing Yu!
Sexual tension!
By the way, I heard that the first person he invited was Tang Wei. After the latter read the script, he refused directly without any discussion...
Then Zhang Yuqi took over the filming!
What's the mentality?
Dedicate yourself to art?
Do you think it's possible?
To put it bluntly, if an actor is willing to take on a romantic drama, he probably still wants to win something, such as an award or something...
Wang Quan'an really worked hard, and the entire "White Deer Plain" was completely changed from Tian Xiao'e's perspective, purely to praise Zhang Yuqi.
As a result, the format of the film was too small, and it was all about the things in Xiao'e's crotch...
It's a pity that Wang Quan'an is just Wang Quan'an, and not everyone who tricks others into taking off their clothes is called Bertolucci!
Some netizens summed it up quite well: Wang Quan'an belongs to the upper-class generation of troubled directors who were scheming and relied on film festivals to make their fortune in the late 1990s.
Let me tell you something, Mr. Lu Wei has wanted to adapt "White Deer Plain" for a long time. He is from Xi'an and has a strong affection for this novel. He wrote the script for five years and kept applying for approval.
There is another very important thing, who will take the photo?
Ah Mou and the poetry-reciting master both rejected him, so he started looking among his juniors.
Because of "Jingzhe", he fell in love with Wang Quan'an, but it was still far from the level of director he wanted. So he wrote "Tuya's Marriage" and asked Wang Quan'an to shoot it, giving him a chance to practice. After the training,
The level was still poor, but the difference was that Wang Quan'an was already very ambitious at that time, and Reed could not stop him from filming "White Deer Plain".
And abandoned the script that Teacher Lu Wei had written for a long time...
In fact, the production of "White Deer Plain" was funded by a certain government leader in Xi'an behind the scenes. The leader and the main financier strongly recommended Wang Quan'an...
The best actress award went to Congolese actress Rachel Mawazan for her performance in "The Witcher."
It can be seen that Zhang Yuqi is quite depressed.
After all, the sacrifice was so great, but the reward was not achieved as imagined.
Wang Quan'an's expression was also a little unhappy. "White Deer Plain" only won a Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography...
…
After the awards were given, there was also a question-and-answer session with reporters, and Shen Changlin appeared...
By this time, the news had spread back to China.
Jury Silver Bear Award, Berlin International Film Festival!
Very awesome!
It has been three years since a Chinese film last became famous in Europe's top three.
Shen Changlin, the box office record holder for Chinese-language films, now won an award at the Berlin Film Festival~
Moreover, the subject matter of "Search" is novel and criticizes the explosive power of the Internet and human flesh search.
I can’t find any fault with it, I can promote it!
As soon as the news came out in Berlin, the group of night owls who had been staying in front of the computer all night suddenly became excited. The four major portals worked on it all night, and it was directly listed on the front page of the entertainment section.
Movie fans are the happiest and have already started discussing Shen Changlin's historical status...
It's outrageous. He is only 25 years old, and "Search" is only his third film. Is it too early to discuss his historical status at this time?
The publicity team immediately began to spread the draft, and Shen Changlin was praised as a master among young directors, the hope of Chinese movies...
Some actors and directors who have worked with him also posted their congratulations on Weibo immediately.
Shi Shi stayed up late watching the news - Shen Changlin told her about the possibility of winning the award.
To be honest, in the past few years, the mainland market has been booming, and people have paid more attention to it at home. The Golden Horse Awards have been discussed far more than the three major awards in Europe!
Even so, the weight of Europe's three major powers is here~
She has also entered the film industry and knows a little bit about it, so she was very excited and almost texted "I love you", but changed it to "Congratulations to Chang Lin for winning the Jury Silver Bear Award. I wonder if the little bear is cute!"
After waiting for a long time, no reply from him...
Immediately, he smiled - yes, how could he have time to reply to Weibo!
…
"First of all, congratulations to Director Shen..."
"Thanks!"
"When you received the award, who were you most grateful for?"
"Thank you to the team and actors... This scene was shot very smoothly and there were no difficulties... It cannot be separated from the team's hard work!"
"Are you happy that you won the award? Can you formally respond to the unfavorable reviews online?"
"For me, these things are not to be taken lightly, but I don't particularly care about them. I can just play without any distractions like a child. I don't need to rely on movies to realize my dream of wealth. I don't have a dream of wealth, so I can make movies like this." It’s relatively simple.”
"The film raised many questions, but you chose not to give answers. Is this also your attitude towards reality?
"I think the so-called "realism" is to a large extent that the author seems to have no attitude on the surface and talks about the true state of the characters objectively, because the more real, the sharper, and the sharper, the more inspiring the reality, rather than the creator. Aim for a conclusion.”
"I would like to ask, why is a journalist role set up in "Search"? Is there a prototype for this?"
"No, I just think that some reporters report from their own standpoint. Maybe they know the truth about this matter, but they don't care..."
During the Q&A session with reporters, Shen Changlin patiently answered all the questions...
How should I put it, the mentality is indeed different after winning the award and not winning the award. Even if it is not the Golden Bear Award, Shen Changlin is still very happy. After all, it is considered an honor!
Win glory for the country!
Because the film festival is organized on a national basis, winning awards for Shen Changlin's films is equivalent to winning awards for Chinese films. This feeling is quite wonderful.
It’s not over yet!
After winning the award, the Berlin Film Festival will hold a dinner for the winning film, at which time powerful film producers from around the world will come.
Shen Changlin has to cooperate with the entertainment because you want to sell the film!
The prices and sales of films that won awards are different from those that did not win awards. Li Min's "The Wedding Banquet" won the Golden Bear Award that year, and the copyrights were signed for more than 100 countries that night...
North American rights have increased from the initial US$250,000 to US$750,000!
"Search" has only sold European and North American rights, but has not sold Asian rights, especially Japan and South Korea - these two are the big ones!
Yang Fan led Shen Changlin to deal with CJ Entertainment, Lotte Film and Television, SHOWBOX Film and Television, including Nippon Toho and Toei for a long time...
Sell movies, make money, don’t be shabby!
At the end of the dinner, it was almost late at night. Shen Changlin walked out of the hotel tiredly, and then returned to the Rome Hotel where he stayed...
It is officially designated, and filmmakers with shortlisted films can enjoy a half-price discount.
Then I saw Zhang Yuqi alone...
Chapter completed!
