(Please subscribe, please vote, please support, thank you all.)
Generally speaking, films with a literary nature are more likely to emerge at film festivals.

Due to the relatively raw and difficult relationship of many literary films, the box office of this type of film is basically not too high.The five films shortlisted for the 'Best Original Screenplay' at this year's Busan International Film Festival, although they come from different countries such as Germany, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, etc., without exception, their final box office is pitifully low.

The main concept of this type of film is the 'storyline' and the educational significance contained in it.After a fierce competition, the low-budget independent film "Shanqingshuixiu" from Canada and directed by Chinese director Gan Xiaoer won the honor of best original screenplay.

To the surprise of many people in the audience, the actors in the film "Shanqingshuixiu" are all non-professional actors. Many scenes in the film are directly applied to residential buildings, streets...

"Amateur sets and non-professional performances did not prevent the film from becoming a special work with a well-structured, perhaps smooth, and unique vision. During the review process, we saw from this film that the society of 'selling blood and infecting AIDS' problem', I can see that the director team hopes to express his concern for the AIDS patients in his hometown through this film..."

A magnetic narration sounded in the auditorium, explaining to everyone the reason why "Shanqingshuixiu" beat all the enemies and came out on top.

It seems that in order to maximize everyone's impression of the film, a concise introduction to the film is also listed on the big screen.

"This is a movie about love and the hopelessness of love. The director uses a calm and introverted way to tell how this honest, kind, weak and humble man went from selling blood at the beginning to selling his children and wives. As a How human dignity was stripped away bit by bit. He loved everyone around him, but he failed to protect them, including himself. So, he died..."

Compared with those commercial blockbusters, this niche film is indeed more worthy of the audience's aftertaste.

Just like "Shan Qingshuixiu", there are no gorgeous special effects, no expensive funds to create, no fatal cast, it uses that thoroughly touching story to stand out from thousands of films and realize its own value.

It is conceivable that after the unknown Gan Xiaoer became famous with "Shan Qingshuixiu", the number of manufacturers willing to actively invest in him in making movies in the future will skyrocket overnight!
"Brother Jiang, do you know Director Gan?"

Li Xian stared at the introduction on the big screen thoughtfully. Although Gan Xiaoer is already a Canadian citizen, he is a director who has gone abroad after all.He hadn't watched "Mountain, Qingshuixiu" before, but through the introduction of the organizer, he was very interested.

He has starred in and directed many works, but he has never tried to set foot in literary films.

"Ah? I'm sorry, brother, although I've been in the director circle for many years, this is the first time I've heard of this name today..."Shan Qingshuixiu" is an independent film, I guess Gan Xiaoer should have gone abroad in recent years I just switched to this line of work later on. Why, do you want to learn from him?"

The seasoned Jiang Wen guessed Li Xian's plan in a blink of an eye, but he really didn't know Gan Xiaoer, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't help it.

Li Xian was a little disappointed, but he didn't always take this matter to heart.He planned to go to the backstage to look for Gan Xiaoer after the ceremony, and if he couldn't find anyone, he had no choice but to let it go.Anyway, I am not eager to set foot in the field of literary and artistic films, and there are still opportunities in the future.

And the imminent thing right now is the performance link that will soon be his turn...

----

"Dear guests, audience, I believe you have already felt the strong atmosphere of passion, right? Well, before we are about to announce several important awards, the organizing committee once again arranged for us a few wonderful performances. Please follow my rhythm and clap your hands, and welcome our guest performer—Li Xian, an artist from China!”

Before Li Xian stepped onto the stage, the host said mysteriously to the audience: "Speaking of which, in our Korean entertainment industry these days, Li Xian can be called a well-deserved celebrity! When I I was really shocked when I knew the form of performance he will bring today... It is not singing or acting, tonight he will present us a personal magic fantasy show!"

No wonder the host made such a fuss.

Performing a magic show at a film award show, I am afraid that there have not been many precedents in the entertainment industry in the past.

Li Xian himself once collaborated with Song Hezu and Ying on a magic show in the Spring Festival Gala, but the Spring Festival Gala itself is a big stage that embraces thousands of things, with various and complicated performance forms.For occasions like the Busan Film Festival, usually the artists either sing or sing and dance together.

Such an ingenious and creative performance of magic is really exciting.

"Senior Li Xian, you have to work hard! I will always cheer for you!" Li Xian had already left the seat and went to the backstage to prepare. Yin Enhui, who had just returned from the performance costume, clasped her hands together and silently blessed the idol in her heart.

In addition, Kim Sung-taek, who was sitting in another area, was excited all at once.

Is this Li Xian who was embarrassing himself on the red carpet just now stupid?

Did he regard the Busan Film Festival as an acrobatic troupe?Also came to this occasion to play magic!Besides, even if he was playing magic, he definitely couldn't come up with any new magic tricks!

Does he have time to study magic as an artist?To hold on to death is to play tricks on the stage with a deck of playing cards, and the audience will definitely not buy him at that time. It would be best if he just threw his shoes on the stage...

Li Xian, who was quietly standing in the center of the stage at this moment, did not know the different reactions of the audience.

Some dim fluorescent lights enveloped him, and misty white mist began to erupt from around the stage.

When he chose to perform in the form of magic at the Busan Film Festival, Li Xian actually made his decision after careful consideration.

Korean and Chinese are the languages ​​of two countries. If I sing Chinese songs, I am afraid that even if I sing them perfectly, it will not cause much effect. Most people can’t understand them at all, and naturally they will not understand the emotions in the songs.As for singing Korean songs, he never planned to sing, so he would not wrong himself to give in to Bangzi for the sake of fame.

Even though performing magic is somewhat against the norm, as long as the performance is exciting enough, it may be more effective with half the effort.

Gently squinting his eyes to breathe in the air, turned around to make sure that the staff had moved the props he needed to the stage, Li Xian began to put himself in the mood.

Tonight's magic props are very simple - five wooden boards, six coins.

Simple props do not mean that complex magic performances cannot be interpreted.

Li has learned a lot of magic tricks in the magic module in the "Astrology System", but this time he intends to take a slanted approach instead of the illusory five-star difficulty route.Sometimes, the more the daily necessities that are closely related to us, the more the success of magic will arouse the curiosity of the audience.

This is the essential reason why magic playing cards are the most widely used type in the magic world.

Who hasn't seen playing cards in life?Similarly, who hasn't seen a wooden board in life, who hasn't seen a coin?
Soon, he will let these people see the true charm of magic once!

The host pointed to the 'props' that were directly exposed in the field of vision and were not covered with red cloth, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Li, the performance is about to start, do you need me to urge the staff to bring up the props as soon as possible?" ?”

He subconsciously ignored those broken wooden boards and coins. Magic, even if there is no brazier or something, the scene must be grand, right?

"Here, the props are right there." Li Xian shrugged and pointed behind him.

The conversation between the two was spread throughout the auditorium with the microphone, and everyone's eyes were directed towards the direction of Li Xian's finger.

Did you make a mistake! ?

The host almost spat out on the spot. Are those things props?

this is no joke...

He really wanted to remind the handsome guy in front of him that this is an awards ceremony that countless people around the world are paying attention to. It's not a play house, so I can't afford such a joke, hey!

"Hahaha! This guy is probably crazy! It's not that he didn't report, it's not time yet! Look, look, it's only been a long time for retribution to come to your door! His bastards still want to perform magic tricks!? Haha, it won't be a few minutes , the whole world will know that there is a fool named Li Xian in the Chinese entertainment circle..."

Jin Chengze couldn't hold back, and directly expressed his thoughts.Kim Hee Sun and Song Seung Heon who were sitting in front of him frowned at the same time.

They only met Li Xian once on the red carpet, and they still had some complaints about the fact that the other party humiliated Koreans in disguise.But no matter how dissatisfied he would not say it.It's not like this idiot Kim Sung-taek, isn't it obvious that he is looking for something to write for the media?
At the same time, the atmosphere in the auditorium was completely uproarious.

Most people know that Li Xian is a Chinese artist, and now that he is about to make a fool of himself, there is more anticipation in his heart, looking forward to the arrival of that scene!
It’s fine to perform magic tricks at the movie awards ceremony, you should be more serious anyway, just change a few flowers into a few poker cards, what’s the fuss with a few broken wooden boards now?Ready to renovate the house?

Of course, Li Xian sensed the reaction of the audience.

This was exactly as he had expected.Smiling inscrutablely, Li Xian didn't respond, and walked directly to the prop table, picking up the first wooden board.

Stand vertically.

PS: I recommend a book, "Online Games: Reversal", I've been reading these days~
