The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 286 Best Micro Film Award

Fan Zhiqing, the director of "Prison of the Heart", was also a little confused, so much so that when he went on stage to receive the award, his expression was unnatural.

Fan Zhiqing never understood why his film didn't win the Best Micro Film Award.

Fan Zhiqing, through special channels, went out of his way to understand the preferences of the directors before filming, especially the chief judge Director Zhu, who pays special attention to mental health and often donates to patients suffering from various mental illnesses.

The movie "Prison of the Heart" is aimed at people with depression, just to make Director Zhu like it.

"Let's take a look at the final score of "Prison of the Heart". Wow! It's actually 9.35 points, which is 0.05 points higher than the winner of the last Best Micro Film Award! Director Fan, are you satisfied with your results?"

Hearing the host's question, Fan Zhiqing woke up from a dream. He sorted out his emotions and a smile appeared on his face: "To be honest, I didn't expect that I could win this award. After all, the movie I shot this time was too It’s a niche, and the discussion on the Internet is not very high. I’m very satisfied if I can be shortlisted.”

"Director Fan is really too humble. Next, let's invite award guest Miss Lin Shuwen to present the award to Director Fan!"

After hearing the host's words, the etiquette lady made an invitation gesture to "Lin Shuwen", and "Lin Shuwen" followed the etiquette lady onto the stage.

After "Lin Shuwen" stood still, another etiquette lady brought the trophy.

"I haven't watched "Prison of the Heart", but it is worthy of praise for being able to call everyone's attention to vulnerable groups on such an important occasion."

"Do you even need to ask? The only one that can be played is "Those Years"."

After "Lin Shuwen" and Fan Zhiqing stepped down, the host continued to exchange words to promote the award process: "The Best Director Award has been awarded, and then the final award is the Best Micro Film Award. This time the Best Micro Film nominees Which ones are there? Please look at the big screen!”

"Lin Shuwen" picked up the trophy and handed it to Fan Zhiqing with both hands, and said congratulations at the same time.

At this time, the barrage was boiling again:

The judges selected the top ten so that all ten of them would get a prize. After all, the College Student Micro Film Festival is not a serious film festival. To put it bluntly, it is to give young people a stage to display their talents.

"Director Fan, do you have anything else to say to everyone?"

"Let's not talk about whether the film is good or not. The director is indeed good."

"I will definitely support Director Fan's next work."

The fact is as the barrage said, the only short film that can be produced now is "Those Years".

Fan Zhiqing said thank you and took the trophy with both hands.

When I saw the short film Liang Hanwen on the big screen, I knew that this wave was stable, because no film in the previous years had won two awards.

"Such a good film and such a good director didn't win the Best Short Film Award."

“I wonder who will win the best short film?”

Fan Zhiqing glanced at the judges, took the microphone and said: "It's really unexpected to win this award. I didn't prepare any acceptance speech. I just hope everyone can pay more attention to patients with depression!"

It turns out that Fan Zhiqing did prepare a long acceptance speech, but this acceptance speech was reserved for the best short film, not the best director.

Following the host's movements, everyone looked at the big screen on the stage.

There are only three works shortlisted for the Best Director Award, "New Year" which won the Best Feature Film Award, "Prison" which won the Best Director Award, and "Those Years" which has not yet won the award.

After speaking, Fan Zhiqing bowed slightly to the camera and walked off the stage.

Liang Hanwen was so happy that he almost jumped up, but on the surface he remained calm and even showed a surprised expression.

The host did not hesitate and announced directly: "The winner of the best short film at the 4th Shanghai University Student International Micro Film Festival is - "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!"

Because when Fan Zhiqing came on stage to receive the award, he seemed to be modest, but in fact, he was actually a little bit surprised by the fact that he finally won the best short film.

The more calm Fan Zhiqing acted, the greater the pressure he felt when he went up.

Of course, Liang Hanwen was not a soft persimmon and could not back down at this time. He took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.

After Liang Hanwen came on stage, the host announced the scores of "Those Years" as usual.

"Wow! Director Liang actually scored a high score of 9.4. This score has already broken the highest record in our film festival. What does Director Liang feel about this?"

"Just thank you all for your support!" Liang Hanwen said pretending to be embarrassed.

“Let’s invite Director Zhu, the chief judge of this Shanghai College Student International Micro Film Festival, to present the award to Director Liang!”

Director Zhu handed the trophy to Liang Hanwen and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go hard!"

"Thank you, Director Zhu."

"Does Director Liang have anything to say to everyone?"

Liang Hanwen took the microphone and pretended to stutter because of nervousness and said: "I am very happy to win this award. It was actually very difficult to make this movie. When I just graduated, I had a I didn’t even have any money. The money my parents paid for me to study was all borrowed. I was embarrassed to ask for money from my family, so I went to work for a senior brother on his set. It took almost a year to save tens of thousands of yuan. Money, this money is not enough to make a movie.

Fortunately, Zhuoguang Entertainment gave me a hand at this time. They gave me an investment of 10 yuan. Mr. Takiba also personally sponsored me a song because he liked my script. Thanks to them, this film can be made As the movie goes on, I..." At this point, Liang Hanwen wiped his eyes, and everyone noticed that his eyes were a little red.

"Lin Shuwen" in the audience thought to herself: "I didn't realize that Liang Hanwen is such an emotional person."

As everyone knows, Liang Hanwen rubbed Fengyoujing on his hands before he went on stage, so that he could cry, so that he could fill the hole Fan Zhiqing dug for him as much as possible.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little lost. I really didn't expect that a micro-movie costing more than 100,000 yuan and not even a star in the circle would be recognized by many netizens on the Internet. In just one month, it would be so popular "Those Years" has been played online in the tens of millions.

Of course, I also want to thank the judges for their recognition of me. I have nothing to repay. I will try my best to repay everyone's favor with the best works. "After speaking, Liang Hanwen bowed 90 degrees to the camera.

And he didn't just stand up immediately, he lowered his head for 10 seconds, then clasped his hands together and thanked the audience and the director again before walking off the stage.

Many netizens were moved by Liang Hanwen's performance:

"Look! Director Liang is such a sincere person. Isn't he more down-to-earth and real than the Fan Zhiqing just now?"

"What about the person who said something shady before? The filming of "Those Years" only cost hundreds of thousands. How could Director Liang have the money to bribe Penguin?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the difficulty of filming, Director Liang wouldn't burst into tears on such an occasion, right?"

"Who knows whether what he said is true or false?"

"Still talking arrogantly! Didn't you see that this movie doesn't have a single star? "Heart Prison" has a second-tier star to support the show."

"I have long said that works that are popular with the public are good works. The tens of millions of views of "Those Years" across the entire network are the best proof."

“The low-level audience is at it again.”

Amid the barrage of debate, the 4th Shanghai International Micro Film Festival for College Students came to a successful conclusion.

When Li Ruyi learned what Liang Hanwen had done on stage to receive the award, the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "Whether Liang Hanwen did it intentionally or not, he really saved us some trouble."

"Mr. Li, there are still rumors about these two micro-movies on the Internet. Should we deal with them quietly?"

"What's the rhythm? Are we going to do something shady again?"

"That's not true. Discussions on the Internet are about which one should win more awards, a niche literary film or a movie that is popular with the public."

"If it has nothing to do with us, then you don't need to worry about it. No, no, we have to worry about it! Buy me a few waves of trolls to stir up the popularity of this topic. The hotter the hype, the better. This way we can also earn a wave of popularity."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll do it right away."

At the same time, "Lin Shuwen" was having dinner with Director Zhu and Liang Hanwen!

"Director Zhu, didn't you say before that the first place in the Shanghai International Micro Film Festival for College Students was basically won by literary films? Why did an accident happen this time?" "Lin Shuwen" asked curiously.

"To be honest, personally, I prefer "Inner Prison". Even for your sake, I gave "Inner Prison" the highest score. It is the only film that I have given a perfect score. I only gave "Those Years" 9.5 points.

Originally, I thought that many people would give "Heart Prison" full marks, but it turned out that I was the only one who gave it full marks.

I asked the people at Penguin Video if they were up to something, and the explanation given to me by the program team was that the director of "Prison of the Heart" knew in advance who the judges of this film festival would be, and that this film was tailor-made for me. So they can't let this movie take first place.

He also said that if I don’t believe it, I can go to Penguin Video’s headquarters in person, where there is corresponding evidence.

People from Penguin Video said this, so I knew that it was most likely true. In this case, Fan Zhiqing's film did not deserve the Best Micro Film Award. "

"So that's it. Director Zhu, did you also add the 0.5 points in your hand to "Those Years"?" "Lin Shuwen" asked.

"No, I haven't even added the 0.5 points, and the score of "Those Years" has already exceeded "Prison of the Heart," so Penguin Video must have done something.

I would say that neither of these two cheating movies deserve to be ranked first, but for your sake, I will turn a blind eye this time. "

"Lin Shuwen" heard this and already had some concerns in her heart. Penguin Video was most likely repaying the kindness of Zhuoguang Entertainment for directly giving them "That Rabbit", which was fine.

"Lin Shuwen" then turned to Liang Hanwen and asked, "Liang Hanwen, is it true or not when you said in your acceptance speech that your family is poor?"

"It's true. My family lives in a small mountain village and is very poor. If my family wanted to be rich, I would work on my senior brother's film crew, not to mention the company's investment."

"Lin Shuwen" nodded and said, "I understand. The company will give you funding and you will direct a movie."

"Is "Those Years" expanded into a theatrical movie?"

"No, it's a brand new movie."
