The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 446 Alinka deserves to be treated kindly

The promotional video of Alinka Province received unexpected praise, just like Li Shengyao plagiarized "Face. Village". This promotional video was placed on Douban, and it got a high score of [-].

Many people said that Alinka is beautiful and a place worth traveling.

Many people also said that Alinka is their hometown, and there are indeed many problems, but this place is worthy of praise because it has more beautiful sides.

Lee Shing Yew finished editing, and then put himself into the promotion of "Taken 3".

He also went to the beautiful country, met Toby and Cheng Long, and participated in some promotional interview programs with Cheng Long by the way.

It was around the end of May that Li Shengyao returned to China, and continued to promote in China.

According to his discussion with Toby, they plan to set the premiere date of "Taken 3" on June [-]th.

As far as the situation in the mainland is concerned, June and July are not protection months. Domestic films are afraid of encountering Hollywood blockbusters, and they almost completely shrink to avoid them.

The only domestically produced films in June are "The Perfect Bride" and "Malanhua", both of which are unstoppable.

Then there are no movies.

There was a movie called "Looking for Cheng Long" in early July, and then there were no new domestic movies released for half a month.

Until July 21st, there is a "Keep Loving You" released.

Then starting from July 24th, it is considered the protection time for domestic films.

"Eavesdropping", "McDull is Great", "My Robot Girlfriend", "The Secret Agent Zero Dog", "Chasing Shadows" and other domestic films will be released in turn at the end of July.

"Taken 3" is released on June [-]th, so there is no need to worry about domestic films sharing the box office.

It was Hollywood movies that really affected his box office.

In Beautiful Country, June, July, and August are regarded as summer holidays. In June, the competition is slightly less fierce, but it is still very fierce.

From the beginning of June, there are "Lost Land", "Terminator 4", "Riding the Subway", "Fake Marriage", "Sister's Guardian", "The First Year in History", and "Transformers 2".

Among them, "Terminator 4" and "Transformers 2" are super blockbusters.

"Fake Marriage" has Xiao Jianjian and Sandra Bullock, both of which should not be underestimated.

The most powerful thing is "Transformers 2". In Lee Seung Yew's previous life, this movie was released on June 24, and it earned [-] million US dollars in North America.

The 24 days after June 20 were basically dominated by "Transformers 2".

Blockbusters in late June and early July have become cannon fodder.

Of course, Li Shengyao didn't intend to go head-to-head with the Transformers.

"Terminator 4" was released on June [-]th. This movie earned [-] million US dollars, and its reputation in North America is not good.

He believes that putting "Taken 3" on June NO.14 should be able to overwhelm "Terminator 4".

As for "Fake Marriage", this movie was released on June 19th, and it is indeed very fierce. There will be a "Transformers 2" sniper behind it, and it can still get [-] million US dollars.

But "Taken 3" and "Fake Marriage" are not the same type of movie.

The ticket price of Pretty Country movies is cheap, and the influence between different types of movies is relatively small.

Putting "Taken 3" on June NO.14 is to grab the box office ahead of "Transformers 2".

……

Li Shengyao returned to Yanjing from the beautiful country, and then made a good promotion. Just after he had planned the next promotional itinerary, people from the Shanghai Film Festival found him, hoping that he would treat the full version of "Alinka's Countryside" as a documentary , and screened at the Shanghai Film Festival.

The full version has a total of 2108 villages, [-] minutes, and more than three hours.

He was a little surprised that the Shanghai Film Festival knew about it.

However, this is not a film that cannot be screened. Since the Shanghai Film Festival invited him, he arranged for someone to screen it.

He didn't think too much about what happened next.

In his view, this is doing a favor to a good friend.

Surprisingly, however, this film, which filmed [-] villages and recorded [-] stories, was well received.

"The village of Alinka is beautiful."

"It's a really good place, I think I can retire there."

"Very sincere, I saw the simple and hardworking people, and the beautiful and pollution-free mountain village."

"It's so touching. I feel that every paragraph is talking about my hometown."

This documentary was also put on Douban and got a high score of [-].

Li Shengyao was very happy. The more people watched, the more people knew about Alinka, which could be regarded as a promotion for Alinka.

But his focus is on promoting "Taken 3."

He didn't think much about it, just thought it was a good thing.

Until the afternoon of June No. 11, he received a call from the person in charge of the Shanghai Film Festival, hoping that he would go to the Shanghai Film Festival, implying that his documentary had won an award.

The Shanghai City Film Festival Awards Gala is on the night of NO.13 in June.

Li Shengyao didn't expect to be in such a hurry, but since he could win the prize, he still went.

So on the evening of June 13th, Li Shengyao took Chen Xun to the Shanghai Film Festival.

Director Li naturally sat in the first row. After waiting for a while, when it was time for the best documentary, he heard his name.

I saw Mr. Wang Gang holding the list of winners and shouting: "The best documentary winner - Li Shengyao, "The Countryside of Alinka"."

This was originally a tourism promotional film for Alinka, but it won an award.

Although the Shanghai Film Festival is not an international award like Cannes or Berlin, it is definitely a good thing.

The guests and audience couldn't help applauding Director Li, secretly feeling that Director Li is talented, so he can win the award.

Amid warm applause, Lee Seng Yew stepped onto the podium and took over the trophy.

The audience in the audience was still applauding, and some people whistled.

You can see a lot of admiration.

The trophy is cool.

Li Shengyao felt a special feeling as he touched the trophy.

He thought that his film award should be the best film, or the best director, or the best screenwriter.

Never expected to be the best documentary.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Thanks to the organizers, my hometown, and all the folks."

"Alinka is a very beautiful place. I hope everyone will support Alinka to develop industries and travel. Thank you."

After saying that, Li Shengyao left the stage, and he was still greeted with warm applause.

He smiled and nodded, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

He knows that his work is still a long way from Agnès Varda's "Face. Village", and it is completely incomparable with the latter.

He wasn't sure if the jury really liked it, or if the organizers gave Alinka encouragement.

He actually prefers the latter.

Alinka really needs more attention and support. Hero City, Jinggangshan, Ruijing, 30 soldiers at the beginning of the Long March, and ten general counties in China, Alinka accounted for three.

The people in this place have really given so much for this country and they deserve to be treated well.

"what's wrong?"

Chen Xun asked in a low voice beside him.

"It's okay, just a little emotional."

"I still have to prepare for the premiere of "Taken 3" tomorrow, don't think so much."
