My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 67 No awards, first order

The Hundred Flowers Blossom Award is one of the five major film awards in the Great Xia Kingdom. It is an award jointly sponsored by the Film Association and the Literature and Art Association, and it is also one of the honors that all filmmakers pursue.

It is not organized by an official institution, so there is no official jury.

All its awards are selected by the audience through online voting.

It is for this reason that the Hundred Flowers Award is also known as the award that best reflects the market appeal of filmmakers, and is highly recognized by the audience.

As for the major film and television companies in the industry, when measuring the commercial value of employees, the number of times the Hundred Flowers Awards are won is also a very important indicator.

Every year, the Hundred Flowers Awards are declared and held by major cities in China. This year's Hundred Flowers Awards will be held in Shimen City in Hebei Province, which is not far from the capital and can be reached by car.

On August [-]th, Song Qi came to Shimen City alone to participate in the awards ceremony of the Hundred Flowers Blooming Award.

The Hundred Flowers Awards has a total of 24 permanent awards, the most valuable of which are the five awards of Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor and Actress.

Then there are awards for best art direction, best male and female matching, best newcomer, best documentary feature film, best animation feature film, best foreign language film and other awards.

Best photography, best visual effects, best sound effects, best makeup and other technical awards have the lowest attention and popularity, and basically only people in the industry care about them.

But only those in the industry know that these awards are where the real talent emerges.

After Song Qi arrived at the place, he went to the hotel notified by the organizer to go through the registration procedures.

The award ceremony needs to walk the red carpet, and the order of appearance and other related links need to be arranged by the organizer.

The registration is done in the hotel lobby. After the registration, the participants of the awards ceremony can go to rest in the arranged hotel room, or go to the restaurant for dinner.

Song Qi wasn't hungry, but he went directly to the restaurant because he knew that many people attending the ceremony would chat there.

Sure enough, when he came to the cafeteria, it was almost overcrowded.

The thousand-square-meter cafeteria was full of people attending the ceremony, chatting and laughing.

Song Qi took a glass of champagne and started wandering around the restaurant.

It's a great place to network and get to know a lot of people.

But Song Qi was the one who was known.

As a new director who has just made his mark during the Spring Festival, many people recognized Song Qi and greeted him one after another, exchanging contact information.

Song Qi did not refuse anyone who came, and sent out many business cards.

Many of these people, like him, were nominated and invited.

Although it is just a nomination and may not win an award, they still attach great importance to it, and all of them are dressed up to attend.

The Great Xia Kingdom shoots thousands of films a year, but only 120 films can be nominated.

It is already a very good honor to break through the siege and be nominated.

After saying hello, Song Qi suddenly saw a familiar figure.

In the corner of the restaurant, a white-haired old man was surrounded by a group of people, chatting and laughing.

That old man is the director of "Frequency", Mr. Jiang Huai.

"Frequency" has won more than ten nominations in this Hundred Flowers Awards, and JAC will naturally come.

When Song Qi saw Jiang Huai, Jiang Huai also saw him in the crowd, his eyes lit up immediately, he stood up holding the handrail and waved to him: "Xiao Song! Come here!"

"Director Jiang!"

Song Qi approached with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Song Qi."

"It's a pleasure to meet me too! Finally, I have a chance to meet you!"

Jiang Huai and Song Qi shook hands, patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically, and said, "Sit down! Sit down!"

Someone from the side immediately took a chair and put it behind Song Qi.

Jiang Huai moved his chair, and greeted Song Qi: "Come and sit here, let's chat!"

Seeing this, everyone had different expressions.

Everyone knows about the incident during the Spring Festival. Song Qi's film review helped Director Jianghuai maintain his reputation, and Director Jianghuai's enthusiasm for him is also reasonable.

But director Jianghuai let him sit next to him as soon as he met, isn't it a little exaggerated to attach such importance?

One must know that director Jiang Huai's own son, Jiang Hai, was just sitting on a bench with a few young directors, and Song Qi became the guest of honor immediately when he came?

Song Qi was not polite, and sat down on his buttocks.

Seeing him being straightforward and unrestrained, director Jiang Huai's eyes became more appreciative.

"Aren't we considered friends in need?"

Jiang Huai joked: "I haven't thanked you for your righteous words! Your film review has helped me a lot!"

"Director Jiang, you're being polite. I'm just talking about my understanding of watching movies. Your movie has something to say, so I can judge it!"

Song Qi said with a smile: "To be honest, you were the first to speak for me. If you hadn't mentioned "Extreme Cold" on the show at that time, I wouldn't have gotten such a high box office. I still have to thank you support!"

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Huai laughed loudly: "You are young, where did you learn so many polite words?"

"No, just from the bottom of my heart."

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Huai smiled brighter, raised his hand and pointed at Song Qi, and complained to everyone: "Let me just say it! This kid has exactly the same temper as when I was young, he can take the soft but not the hard!"

Hearing his words, Song Qi frowned slightly. What do these words mean, is there something in them?
Jiang Huai turned back to him with a smile and asked, "What nomination did you get this time?"

"Best visuals and best sound."

Song Qi answered honestly.

"Oh."

Jiang Huai nodded: "These two awards should be yours, and they didn't run away."

"I hope so!"

Although Song Qi thought the same in his heart, he didn't finish his words.

"It's not hopeful, it's inevitable."

Jiang Huai said bluntly: "The technology in your film is very advanced, and the existing technical means in the industry are completely incomparable."

Song Qi smiled and said nothing.

The old man spoke directly.

Jiang Huai's next question was more direct. He looked at Song Qi curiously and asked, "I know all the special effects studios in the world. The most advanced software in the industry is Fantasy 4, but it can't achieve the effects in your movie. What do you use? Which company's technology is it?"

This kind of problem will come across sooner or later, and Song Qi has long been prepared.

He explained calmly: "I know a foreign team and bought their technology patents, and they are now working for me."

After getting the box office share of "Snake God Apep", he bought an office building in Jinsha City through Najido, bought a batch of equipment, and established a special effects studio for Miracle Film and Television.

Xiao Ma helped him select some technical talents from the Freedom Federation to form a later team.

Those technical talents are senior CG engineers who have worked in film-related work and know how to use most of the post-production software in the world today, and they can get started quickly.

Song Qi backed up the castrated version of the subsystem on those devices, which can only use part of the material library, and the processing speed of the screen is much slower than the real system.

But even so, those engineers were all excited as if they had never seen the world, and they claimed that it was the most advanced post-production software in the world, and they were extremely excited.

After the studio is established, theoretically speaking, Miracle Films and Television can already accept later OEM orders.

However, he doesn't plan to use full production capacity immediately to help others with post-production, because he is about to start filming a big project, and even counting the studio, his time is very tight.

His main purpose is to transfer the outside world's curiosity and doubts about the special effects of his works to the studio.

"Oh?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Huai asked excitedly: "Can you introduce me? I have a lot of special effects shots to do in my next movie."

"sure!"

Song Qi smiled and said, "Give me your contact information, and I'll ask the person in charge to contact you later."

Jiang Huai immediately called Jiang Hai, and asked Jiang Hai to call Song Qi and leave contact information for each other.

Song Qi's super-powerful special effects technology is indescribably attractive to a sci-fi film director.

No movie type needs the blessing of special effects technology more than science fiction movies.

Seeing this, everyone around couldn't care less about being reserved, and came forward one after another to ask for contact information.

In today's booming film industry, is there any movie that can refuse first-class CG technology?

If you have this opportunity, of course you must seize it!
So, before the awards ceremony even started, Song Qi helped the newly established special effects studio get a lot of orders.
