Chapter 12

~9 min read 1,634 words

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a movie to be submitted for review and to know the result in three to five months.

Sometimes it is returned to you, only saying it does not pass, without saying where the problem is. That is the most torturous thing.

In terms of film review, the Beijing Film Academy has no advantage and is still a group that is focused on.

Most of the banned films in China are from the hands of teachers or graduated students of the Beijing Film Academy, and they are all very tough: I shoot like this, you guys who review know what art is!

Like a big director named Tian, when shooting "The Blue Kite," the script submitted for review was different from the script shot. After the film was shot, it was sent for review and naturally did not pass.

But he didn't care at all and took it directly to film festivals abroad. The superiors were very angry and directly banned him from directing for ten years.

Interestingly, there was a document issued when he was banned from directing at that time.

It is rumored that the stubborn Old Tian framed the document, hung it in the room, and showed it off. It was quite tough.

Since then, even if banned from directing, no documents will be given.

For example, Jiang Wen, after being told he was banned from directing, specifically went to the relevant departments to ask, why didn't you give me Old Jiang a document? Do you look down on me, Old Jiang?

It is estimated that he also wanted to learn Old Tian's set, but unfortunately, he was scared by Old Tian and was not given it directly.

These directors who are bold and daring can do anything.

Cao Yang also saw that document at Old Tian's house. Well, it is estimated that it has high collection value.

Although the Beijing Film Academy has no advantage in review, as long as the school is willing to promote it, the big leaders personally ask about it, and there is no problem with the film, it is still very fast in terms of review.

It only took sixteen days for the review to pass, and there were no modification opinions.

That is to say, "On the Beach at Night Alone" is now completely compliant and legal to take abroad for exhibition.

Cao Yang was still very happy after knowing it, so he found Tian Zhuangzhuang and asked: "Brother, our movie has passed the review. Do you have any familiar selectors?"

Old Tian was a bit confused, "What are you looking for a selector for?"

Now it was Cao Yang's turn to be confused. To participate in the Berlin Film Festival, don't you need to be recommended by the selector of the Chinese film area to participate?

It is said that films recommended by better selectors can directly enter the main competition unit.

The reason he looked for Old Tian was because Old Tian also participated in the Berlin Film Festival, and his "Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch" also entered the main competition unit and won a so-called special encouragement award of a comforting nature.

Don't underestimate this kind of special award. Winning this award shows that either your selector is awesome, or your connections are awesome.

"Don't you need a selector's recommendation to go to Berlin?"

Old Tian wanted to turn around and leave. He couldn't figure out if this little bastard was deliberately angering himself, and then thought that Cao Yang was still a student, so it was normal not to understand.

But he still couldn't help but kick Cao Yang.

"What the hell do you need a selector for? You are a student. This movie is nominally a student's practice movie. The school values it more than you. Does this still need you to worry? You just wait for the notification."

Cao Yang nodded to show he understood. He really didn't know this point, including his previous life. Although he had been in the circle for a long time, he had never really been exposed to this kind of "high-end" thing.

Only knowing that participation requires finding a good selector, then you can succeed halfway.

"How is Li Xiaoran? What did Teacher Lin say?"

"What else can she say, just the old set. Guide emotions, find some fun, contact society more, find more friends to gather, see you less, three to five months, basically walk out."

Old Tian didn't have any special emotions when talking about this. In his or other directors' view, isn't it normal for actors to enter the role? It's nothing to make a fuss about.

There are many who fall in love because of the play. Is it because the two really love each other?

Love a ball.

Some movies or TV shows are filmed for half a year or more. The male and female leads are together every day, talking about love in the play. The male lead's persona is also very good. If you substitute a little emotion, it's not thunder and fire—there is no such good man in reality. Almost all the advantages you imagine can be found in the male lead. It's damn hard not to enter the role.

"You don't have to blame yourself. Did Li Xiaoran's company say anything? This kind of thing is normal. Although acting is divided into method school and experience school, unless you are particularly talented, as long as you want to play the role well, you will eventually enter the role."

"The difference is that the method school will build a wall in their hearts, and they can get out of the play faster. Like Li Xiaoran, who has not studied acting, unless a fixed acting mode is formed and everything is the same, otherwise it is easy to enter the role and difficult to get out if you want to play the role well."

"You still have too little experience. When you shoot a few more movies and see more, you will see through it."

Tian Zhuangzhuang was afraid that Cao Yang would have a shadow in his heart, so he specifically comforted him a few words.

"Okay, I know, Brother."

Cao Yang thought about it and added: "The Central Academy of Drama teaches well. No wonder Lv Liping and Xu Fan get out of the play so fast."

Old Tian was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted, and kicked over.

In the following days, Cao Yang stopped worrying about the movie, didn't ask how the school operated, just focused on class, and considered the choice of the next movie.

Waiting until the school winter vacation, Cao Yang had some clues in his heart, but he was still a bit hesitant. After all, that movie was shot, and I don't know if the actor can bear it after adding Acting Experience.

!

Still have to ponder carefully.

After the winter vacation, Cao Yang returned to his hometown. His parents were very happy in the first few days, providing good food and drink every day, which lasted for... three days.

Three days later, first it was his mother, picking bones in the egg, all kinds of dislike, dislike that he got up late every day, the room was not cleaned, the hygiene was not cleaned... nothing was right.

Then his father was implicated. Every time he scolded Cao Yang, he always ended with his father's fault.

Then, his father asked Cao Yang when school would start, and said that it would be good to return to school early after the New Year...

It was hard to survive until the 17th. This day is the traditional northern festival—Kitchen God Festival, which is also considered the Little New Year.

Cao Yang was called up early in the morning. His mother asked him to tidy up, and today the whole family had to be cleaned. Cao Yang was the main force.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Yang received a call from Hou Keming, telling him a good news: "On the Beach at Night Alone" was successfully selected for the main competition unit of the 51st Berlin International Film Festival.

Then the phone rang non-stop. Old Tian called, Teacher Situ called, Wang Jinsong called, Ding Jiali called, Sun Honglei called, the coal mine owner's mistress called...

The point is that Xie Fei also called.

Teacher Xie said on the phone that three Chinese films were selected for the main competition unit this year, including Wang Xiaoshuai's "Beijing Bicycle," and a Taiwanese film "Love Me, Love My Money."

Wang Xiaoshuai is from the 85th grade of the Directing Department. The teachers at that time were the old department head Zheng Dongtian and the current department head Xie Xiaojing.

That is to say, Wang Xiaoshuai has a lot of connections in the school and is considered a direct descendant of the Directing Department.

Zheng Dongtian has a good relationship with Xie Fei.

Both of them also greeted Xie Fei. The school's meaning is that they are not outsiders, so they should support as much as possible, and it is best to push all of them up, at least to ensure that one person can win a big award.

In addition, Taiwan also entrusted people to find them. They found Xie Fei's good friend, and they also wanted Xie Fei to take care of them more.

Xie Fei has a headache.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's movie "The Blue Kite," what kind of subject is this? Just the two words "what," it said my chapter was against the rules, and directly deleted more than two hundred words of mine. I have already modified it.

I ask all the big guys to support me, give me a monthly ticket or recommendation, little brother thanks you.
