Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 12 012 [In the name of the film studio, Yanjing Beidian Bank] Please read it!

The movie is not long, only 93 minutes.

But during this period, people who were not optimistic or supportive were grumbling behind her back. Zhao Xue wanted to stand up and yell at these people countless times, but in the end, she endured it after being comforted by Jiang Qinqin.

Deputy Director Chen, who was sitting in the front row, saw half of the conversation and then looked at Li Jian, who was standing next to him. "Old Li, did you really not help your son?"

Li Jian said, "Really not. Director Chen, if you don't believe me, ask Lao Zhang and the others. They have been with the crew for more than half a month, and they all know that I was so absorbed in acting that I didn't care about anything else. It was Yishu who took care of everything on the crew."

Deputy Director Chen glanced at Zhang Jiwu, who was two seats to his right. The other party heard the conversation and when he saw Deputy Director Chen looking at him, he nodded, indicating that he agreed with what Li Jian said.

"It's well shot. Although the plot is a bit simple, it can give people a sense of nostalgia. The relationship between father and son is also well acted..."

Those who can become deputy directors of such a film studio have basically been engaged in related work in the past and have a certain level of appreciation. In addition, they have no direct conflict of interest with Li Jian.

So Deputy Director Chen looked at this film from the perspective of a viewer. The picture quality was a bit rough, but the quality was still very good.

At least for a new director who is directing for the first time, this film is more than just a passing score, it can easily get 90 points.

"Director Chen, regarding the registration for the Venice Film Festival..."

"Let's finish reading it first."

"well…"

More than half an hour passed.

At the end of the film, the son in the play once again picked up the package, took the dog named Lao Er, and once again set out on the country postal route that his father had walked for decades.

It seems to be telling the viewers that the postal service is passed down from generation to generation, and the love between father and son also continues.

Looking back at the film, the son carried his father across the river, which meant that the son finally understood the hardships of delivering letters all year round and the significance of persisting in this job, and the father and son completed a spiritual communication and reconciliation.

The wolf dog "Lao Er" serves as a bond between them and continues to accompany them.
Click, the lights came on and the show ended.

"interesting…"

Deputy Director Chen stroked his chin, glanced at the eager Li Jian beside him, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Old Li, it's fine to sign up in the name of our factory, but you have to pay for the postage. International postage is very expensive."

The registration period for the Venice Film Festival is generally from July to mid-August, during this one and a half month period, and then the list of nominees will be announced in advance half a month before the opening ceremony.

The registration method is also quite simple. Just send the film negatives of the participating films via international mail.

International shipping is still quite expensive these days.

The factory cannot afford this money. Even if it can, it cannot set a precedent. Then everyone will have to register and mail it to the factory. How much money will the factory need to have?

"No problem, I'll pay, I'll pay!"

Li Jian was very happy that the matter was finally settled.

He looked back and saw his son Li Yishu looking at him. Li Jian nodded subconsciously.

call!
It’s done! Li Yishu breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, you really can’t do without a background.

No wonder Director Lu was able to make several more commercial blockbusters after making movies like "Jinling! Jinling!"

Now he has experienced what it feels like to be a person with connections.

After receiving a definite reply from the factory leaders, Li Yishu boarded the train with the rough cuts and headed straight for Yanjing.

It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the recommendation of Emei Film Studio. Nowadays, Beijing Film Academy, as one of the best art schools in China, has produced too many great directors and still has a certain degree of international fame.

Therefore, the joint recommendation of Emei Film Studio and Beijing Film Academy is very helpful for Li Yishu to register for the Venice Film Festival.

At the same time, having such a movie is very beneficial for Li Yishu's graduation defense. If possible, he would like to continue to study for a master's degree in directing.

4 month 10 number.

Yenching Film Academy.

Inside a small screening room.

Several teachers from the directing department, the acting department, and several school leaders also came to join in the fun.

They all wanted to see what was so special about the first film directed by this senior directing student, who took a two-month leave and went back to his hometown, that Emei Film Studio would help him register it for the Venice Film Festival.

93 minutes passed.

The movie is over.

After watching the film, the Dean of the Acting Department turned around and looked at the Dean of the Directing Department, Situ Zhaodun, and asked, "Was this really shot by a senior student in your directing department?"

Situ Zhaodun rolled his eyes. "Of course it's true. Li Yishu's academic performance in the past few years has been average in school, but he has solid theoretical knowledge. His father is a director at Emei Film Studio, so he has been exposed to this industry since he was a child."

"Could it be that his father helped take the photo?" someone nearby questioned.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Situ Zhaodun immediately shook his head and said, "I have asked Li Yishu again and again, and the people involved in this film are basically employees of the production studio. If it was Li Yishu's father who helped, it would definitely not be hidden from so many people in the crew. Who would tell such a lie that would be exposed at the slightest provocation?"

"Leader, this time you have to support our own students!"

Situ Zhaodun turned to look at the dean: "Student Li Yishu has been recognized by Emei Film Studio. Now all he needs is a little help from our alma mater. If this is accomplished, won't we have another Zhang Yimou?"

Hearing this, several leaders smiled. It is hard to say whether there can be another Zhang Yimou, but if this movie was really shot by a senior student, it would be really decent.

In the end, several leaders did not agree to this matter on the spot. After all, it was a matter related to the reputation of Beijing Film Academy, so they had to be cautious.
