Chapter 31: The Director's Threshold

The trailer of "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance" was released yesterday, with a total of over 100 million views in 24 hours.

Some people can’t wait to predict that this movie will achieve another box office success, and of course some people are not optimistic. They still think that it is ‘vulgar’…

It is normal. Stephen Chow's version was introduced to the mainland in 1993 and was rated as the most vulgar movie of the year by the mainland, and even ranked first among the worst movies of the year!

Even "A Chinese Odyssey" is called garbage by Xi'an Film Products Factory, which is almost sneering. To this day, many old employees of Xi'an studios recall that they all said, "I don't want to mention that script anymore!"

Therefore, Xiaobai is ready to welcome criticism!

After all, in the eyes of a group of experts, Qu Gao and Wu are their favorites!

...

The annual ceremony of the Guild Association is called the entertainment of a small circle by many people.

In a sense, it is indeed the case!

The director circle brags about each other...

But if you don’t go, it means you are not from the circle!

Xiaobai must go!

"I Am Not a God of Medicine" is likely to win the honor of the annual movie. After all, the final chairman is Zhang Yimou. Lao Zhang's favorite works are both literary and artistic and box office-making!

He is very similar to Ang Lee. The two of them have different styles of films, but their concepts for film are the most similar. They are directors who take both business and art and take big steps. Such directors are beneficial to the market. Simply sticking to art may cause the domestic film market to shrink.

But in the future, Lao Zhang is not as smooth as Ang Lee. Ang Lee's business is more hidden, and he still maintains his literary style and is sought after by petty bourgeoisie.

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou bid farewell to the circle of the three major film festivals, which was closer to his own initiative, and even radical behavior. When he was filming "Hero", he repeatedly emphasized that the mainland Chinese market must rely on commercial films, and Taiwanese films that engage in art are dead!

There is nothing wrong with this!

In recent years, almost all the mainland market has been supplying Taiwanese and Hong Kong filmmakers...

Xiaobai came by herself, Yang Lan did not get the nomination, she was not a director, the girl was thin-skinned and felt that attending such a party was a bit of a hot topic...

Xiaobai won three nominations, film of the year, screenwriter of the year and a young director of the year...

At least the young director is stable!

His position is in the first row, and all the seniors are present. Before the opening, Xiaobai had to bow every time he met someone...

depressed…

Li Shaohong sat next to him: "You will come on stage to give a 4-minute speech later, let's talk about the director's threshold!"

"…no problem!"

Li Shaohong is the president of the Guild Association. She ordered that Xiaobai would do whatever he wanted.

Of course, the president has her own considerations. This annual ceremony of the Guild Association is broadcast live by Magic City Satellite TV, and people want ratings.

Novice is the ratings!

The award-winning comments on Weibo Night were nearly 200 million views online!

It is nicknamed by many netizens as the most interesting award speech!

...

I was frightened by Xiaobai at the beginning!

Teacher Chen sang the opening song "Shadow 2017". The lyrics were dazzling, and Teacher Chen's face was greasy...

‘2017 is very beautiful, with a box office of nearly 60 billion. Sometimes I worry about "Ride the Wind and Waves" too much, and I worry about "Blizzard coming"...’

But it is impossible to sing such a song with so many people in person, anyway, to Xiaobai!

I feel like this award ceremony is a bit like imitating the Oscars, but the imitation is not in place...

The first award was Screenwriter of the Year. Zhang Ama didn't talk much nonsense and directly announced the '9th Directors Association's 2017 Screenwriter of the Year "I Am Not a God of Medicine", Bai Xiaofei!'

Xiaobai was thinking about what to say on stage later, how to make the directors present feel secretly happy on the basis of their playfulness. He never thought that he could win the screenwriter award!

The five nominated movies: "Love and Blind Dating", "Carnival", "Blizzard is Coming", and "Old Beast" are all purely literary attributes, and the explanations are also profound...

"I Am Not a God of Medicine", purely genre, such a script is at a disadvantage!

“…Ah, me?”

Xiaobai came on stage in panic and took over the trophy and certificate handed over by the award presenter.

"Thank you, Directors Association, thank you, the judges, the scripts nominated are all excellent. I think the reason why I awarded this award to me is not because of the many scripts of "I Am Not a God of Medicine"... outstanding, but more because I introduced genre into the movies, making script creation more orderly. By the way, I must say that this movie has blackmailed our medical world, and they did not say that they would sue me. Thank you very much for providing space for film creation. Thank you!"

There was a lot of applause from the audience.

Xiaobai's words are what you said to them.

In recent years, there has been a lot of things that restrict artistic creation for no reason.

The sketch "Mulan joins the Army" was boycotted, resulting in the suspension of the episode of "Comedian";

‘Reject Huang, refuse gambling, refuse table tennis’ can also be criticized by a group of people. Is the sacred and inviolable?

Marriage is so sacred and inviolable, and a bunch of people cheat after marriage!

After only a few minutes of sitting down, he had to get up again. He was also the young director of the year!

"Thank you, Directors Association, thank you, judges... I have been in the industry for four years and have never won the Director Award. This is the first time I will save it well. Thank you for your recognition, thank you..."

Well, the first half hour turned out to be a novice show.

Because next he went to the stage to talk about the 'director's threshold'...

...

"Okay, it's me again!"

The directors in the audience smiled kindly.

"It's so sudden. Director Shaohong asked me to give me a speech about the director's threshold. I originally wanted to shirk to Wu Jing, and then I looked at it and he didn't come!"

"Then I'll do it!"

"Why did I ask me to say it? I thought about it carefully. I was quite representative. I learned acting and became a director in the first drama. Some time ago, my photographer told me that he wanted to be a director and asked me to write a script for him. I asked him, do you know how to direct the drama?"

"He said, if you lend me your assistant director, I will direct the show!"

"Then I paid him an extra salary..."

"You see, the threshold for directors is so low. As long as you can attract a group of professional photographers, professional assistant directors, professional actors, and buy an existing IP, it seems that anyone can be a director!"

"Yes, the threshold to become a director is very low, but the threshold to become a good director is very high!"

"I guess many movie fans have watched a movie and have a mentality: 'Fuck, this is OK, let me do it!' And then, what did you film? "The Dream Chasing Entertainment Circle"?"

"There is no sudden revolution in the film industry. It requires many people to be respectful and down-to-earth for many years. Creators will always be a thousand times harder than pure commenters, and a thousand times harder than pure commenters imagine. Movies cannot be said by mouth. Some experts can always find points to attack directors, as if Chinese movies have no direction without them. What are you? They are just parasites in the film industry chain... Well, I am a little out of control..."

Everyone is laughing...

Of course they knew about Bai Xiaofei fighting Dai Jinghua...

"When it comes to the theme, there is no threshold for directors to enter the digital age! From shooting to the later stage, a DVD and a computer can be completed. If you want to say that you are a director, you are just a position! After all, it is just a position and no unit is required. After staying in this industry for a few years, everyone has seen anyone, and some people can say that they are directors without even understanding the scenery. Even if you have a cameraman, you have to know the narrative technique, right? It's a mess!"
Chapter completed!
