My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 257 International Film Festival

The organizers of the Golden Melody Awards are also a little embarrassed now.

The award ceremony was already relatively deserted, but in the end, Jiang Shu's new hit drama happened.

In terms of public opinion marketing, it is simply worse.

They had fixed the time for the awards more than a month ago, but Jiang Shu suddenly announced that the Immortal Sword was officially announced more than ten days ago.

It was a bit of a surprise.

But with ten days left, an extension is unlikely.

Because the award ceremony is different from the film and television drama, the latter will be adjusted and postponed, which will affect me, and the losses will be borne by the film studio and platform personally.

However, the sudden postponement of the awards ceremony will affect all guest singers this year.

In order to participate in the award presentation, people must adjust the schedule in advance, and some have to pay a small price for the schedule.

If it is suddenly postponed, all celebrity guests will have to bear the price, isn't it nonsense!
Now I can only bite the bullet and do it.

[Why does everyone think that it was Jiang Shuyao who didn't apply for the Golden Melody Awards, not that they were not nominated for the Golden Melody Awards? 】

There are also some questions like this on the Internet.

"Because Brother Jiang is really capable of doing this, after Ruoqing is with Brother Jiang, he may be able to do it too [狗头]"

"Because they really don't need the Golden Melody Awards, but the Golden Melody Awards really need their popularity."

"Without the two of them, the popularity and traffic would be at least [-]% lower. The organizer would be stupid and not nominate it!"

"Anyway, it's no problem for Ye's Chapter 7 to be nominated for two! None of these, there is a high probability that there is no nomination."

"..."

In fact, "Chapter 7 of the Night" was not nominated for the Golden Melody Awards that year.

That year, Jay Chou was nominated for best lyrics for "Chrysanthemum Terrace", and for best arrangement was "Fearless".

Ye Qi didn't have a name on the nomination list, but he defeated himself.

in the afternoon.

Gu Yaoqing suddenly posted a message on Weibo, officially announcing that the next solo album will be officially released on August 8th.

From today, there are still more than 20 days.

As a matter of course, this news directly parachuted to the top of the Weibo hot list, and then quickly spread to the entire social networking platform.

Including the private q group WeChat group circle of friends.

For a while, the focus of netizens' attention was attracted by Gu Yaoqing.

"Finally a new album is about to be released! It's dry!"

"Looking at the shortlist for this year's Golden Melody Awards... let's look forward to Yaoqing's new album!"

"The official announcement of the new album on the day of the deserted Golden Melody Awards, what do you mean by rumor? [狗头]"

"Are there any songs written by Brother Jiang in the album?"

"I don't know if there are any songs written by Jiang Ge, but there should be no chorus, because it is a solo album."

"Hope it's better than the last album!"

"One thing to say, it's almost impossible to sound better than the last album..."

"..."

Gu Yaoqing's last dog food album was indeed good enough, and the first song was at the level of the title song.

In the eyes of the audience, this album is already a hit, and the ten songs can be repeated for a whole day.

But in the eyes of professional musicians, its artistic level is definitely not high, and there are too many love songs.

Although there is a song Yeqi Town, but the integrity is not enough.

In fact, sometimes, there is no need to demand the high artistic level of an album, but at least the mix of tracks should not be too complicated or homogeneous.

As for the so-called concept album, there is no need to force it too much.

Whether an album is good or bad is not based on this.

A concept album means that the creator uses all the tracks of an album to express a theme and use songs to serve a concept.

For example, Faye Wong's album "Impotent", the tracks in it include: impermanence, restlessness, depravity, division, disappointment, etc.

Just looking at the titles of these songs, you can tell that they share the same theme.

However, many of Jay Chou's albums do not have a clear and definite theme. The tracks of an album are wild and unconstrained, and the themes and styles are changeable.

Whether there is the same concept is not the only criterion for measuring the quality of an album.

the other side.

The organizers of the Golden Melody Awards always felt a little weird when they saw Gu Yaoqing's announcement of the new album.

It feels like Gu Yaoqing is here to grab the popularity of the Golden Melody Awards, but there is no evidence.

Besides, even if it is true, so what!
It can only be the dumb who eats coptis.

In fact, the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards are still thinking about whether to invite Jiang Shu and Gu Yaoqing to sign up for the next Golden Melody Awards...

After all, they are really needed!

At least with them, the attention and popularity of the Golden Melody Awards can rise to two levels.

This has positive significance for investment promotion and advertising, and it is a waste of money!
Although it is a bit embarrassing to be humble to them.

But who would want to struggle with money...

But at this moment, Jiang Shu didn't receive a call from the Golden Melody Awards, but received an unfamiliar number.

After connecting, the voice of the other party was a self-reported family, and it was the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Du Zhengtao.

Jiang Shu immediately understood what the other party was doing, and he must have been invited to the Spring Festival Gala.

It's only July, the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it's still half a year before the Spring Festival Gala!Just come to find yourself first.

This is because I am afraid that I will be signed away by the local station again!

Jiang Shu thought that Du Zhengtao was inviting him to go to the Spring Festival Gala to praise a sketch.

But what surprised him was that the other party directly asked him to be the director of language programs, which was the same position as the Spring Festival Gala at SuTV.

Jiang Shu was not interested in this, so Dang even politely declined.

Because he knows that this position does not mean much power.

Not to mention the director of language programs, even the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, he can't be on any program he wants.

In Sushi, no one interfered with which sketch he wanted to appear on, but it was different here.

You can go to the Spring Festival Gala, but if the premise is to castrate the works, then Jiang Shu has no interest.

"Director Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely give you more room to play this time." Du Zhengtao seemed to understand what Jiang Shu was thinking, and immediately promised loudly.

Hearing this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, how big is the biggest?
There is no specific standard for this thing!At that time, it is not a matter of a word.

Jiang Shu still didn't want to go through this muddy water, and it might be a thankless effort in the end.

Du Zhengtao knew what Jiang Shu was worried about. In fact, most literary and art workers didn't like it very much.

Even though he promised, there are still many variables in the future!
Besides, he wasn't the only one who had the final say on the show, so Du Zhengtao didn't dare to talk too much.

He couldn't give a 100% guarantee, so Jiang Shu was worried that he would be tied up and didn't want to come.

Now the two sides are stuck here.

"How about this, Director Jiang." Du Zhengtao said again: "If possible, please show me a few sketchbooks first, and I will definitely give you an affirmative answer. Your time."

Jiang Shu pondered for a while, and felt that this was okay.

If it's okay, let's say it in advance, and it won't take too much time for everyone.

"That's fine." Jiang Shu agreed: "I'll prepare a few notebooks later, you can read them first before talking about them!"

"Trouble Director Jiang." Du Zhengtao heaved a sigh of relief and smiled politely.

Jiang Shu exchanged some polite words with him, then hung up the phone.

Jiang Shu first finalized two sketches, one is "Say Things" which is the sequel to "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow".

This skit can be considered to have a certain theme, satirizing those who love vanity and want to save face and suffer.

If Du Zhengtao is really interested, the chances of this sketch passing the review should be quite high.

The second one is "Help or Not", which has irony and positive energy. The probability of passing the review of this sketch is definitely greater than that of "Speaking of Things".

the whole afternoon.

The topic of Gu Yaoqing's new album almost dominated the Internet.

Until after six o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the Golden Melody Awards red carpet began, and this topic did not stop.

But the number of people watching the webcast has indeed fallen off a cliff compared to last year.

Among the nominated singers, many are still a little unfamiliar to ordinary audiences, and they have not heard much of their works, so they are relatively small.

In fact, it must be good to give these little-known people who make music with their heart a chance.

It's just that although it is the highest hall of Chinese music, the influence of the Golden Melody Awards is no longer what it used to be, and their promotion is limited.

Even if he gets on this stage and wins a heavyweight award, it doesn't seem to have much practical significance afterwards.

Also the Dragon and Phoenix Award, which is the highest hall of Chinese-language films, after winning a heavyweight award, it means a lot to actors, at least there will be a script to come to you.

The decline of Chinese music may be irreversible, and the era of gods fighting is gone forever.

At least for now, there is no sign of bottoming out.

The Golden Melody Awards ended in such a lukewarm atmosphere.

Such an annual awards show, the results of online discussions were blown away by three or four episodes of "Sword".

It's true that things are going downhill.

Seeing that all the data fell short of expectations, the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards were quite helpless, but there was no way to change it.

Because the gold content of the Golden Melody Award is closely related to the quality of the singer, after all, it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

As a result, this good singer has not come to the Golden Melody Award yet...

the other side.

Jiang Shu and Gu Yaoqing had already gone to bed and got ready for bed.

The two of them didn't watch the Golden Melody Awards at all, and they were not interested in discussing it.

"I'm going to the animation studio tomorrow." Jiang Shu said, "Are you going?"

"You can go and play." Gu Yue said with a smile: "It should be almost the same?"

"En." Jiang Shu nodded and let out a long sigh of relief: "The production has basically been completed."

From August last year to July this year, it lasted eleven months.

It takes longer than his production cycle to make a live-action movie.

……

the next morning.

After eating, the two went to the animation studio together.

For the previous "Love Letter" and "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Shu did not consider applying for international awards.

The reason why he went to the Oscars was that the relevant department directly signed up, and the quota was not in his control.

Of course, Jiang Shu could not give face to his superiors, that is, he would not let him go to the Oscars, but there was really no need for this.

When it comes to the animated movie "Spirited Away", Jiang Shu plans to compete for international awards, at least give it a try.

The preferred film festivals are naturally the three major European film festivals.

The Berlin Film Festival is held every February.

Cannes Film Festival, every May.

The Venice Film Festival is in early September.

Now in July, there will be dubbing production next, and finally it has to be submitted for review.

Although these are international film festivals, they have to pass the review and get the dragon mark in China before they can sign up.

Otherwise, you will be banned from filming for several years.

Among the three major film festivals, Jiang Shu can catch up with the nearest one, which is naturally the Berlin International Film Festival.

In addition, the Berlin Film Festival does not have particularly strict requirements for the release of participating films.

For example, at the 65th Berlin Film Festival, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was shortlisted for the main competition.

There are usually nominations for best picture, best director, etc. at the film awards ceremony.

But these international film festivals are different. As long as they are shortlisted for their main competition unit, they are equivalent to being shortlisted for best director, best film, best actor/actor and other awards.

These awards will eventually be selected from about 20 films in the main competition unit.

This is different from most awards ceremonies.

第65届柏林电影节的举办时间是14年2月，不过《无人区》在13年12月，就已经在国内正式公映了。

In other words, the films shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival can be screened in the region or country in advance, but they cannot be screened around the world.

However, most of the films still premiere at the film festival first, and then they are officially released. In this way, the factor of using the film festival for marketing and publicity is somewhat taken into account.

Especially for today's Chinese-language films, it is not easy to be shortlisted for the main competition units of the three major film festivals, and it is normal to use them as selling points for publicity.

Of course, if you really want to apply to Cannes or Venice, there is no problem, as long as the film is produced within 12 months, you can apply.

However, each film can only participate in one international category A film festival, and they are also exclusive to each other.

As long as you participate in one of them, you can't go to the other.

In the early years, there were exceptional films that could win awards in both category A film festivals, but now they no longer have this opportunity.

The so-called Category A film festival is divided by the International Film Producers Association.

There are currently 15 category A film festivals in the world, of which 9 are in Europe.

The so-called three major European countries are only the most famous and authoritative among them.

One of them is in China: the Shanghai International Film Festival, which naturally has much less influence and priority.

If the film has a chance to hit the top three, it will definitely not be selected for other film festivals.

If a filmmaker wants to be recognized by the whole world, the best platform now can only be the three major European companies plus the Oscars.

Jiang Shu and Gu Yaoqing stayed in the animation studio all day.

The production of "Spirited Away" has basically been completed, and now it's time for the final editing and polishing into the film. After the editing is completed, the dubbing can be done.

Jiang Shu has already found voice actors, including professional animation voice actors and actors in the industry.

In fact, actors dubbing animation, as long as it is suitable, is completely problematic.

For example, the Mandarin dubbing of "The Battle of Two Cities", Luo Yunxi and Wan Qian's dubbing is not bad.

But Ike, who was played by Fan Chengcheng, also pulled. He swallowed his words badly, and couldn't even speak his lines clearly.

In this movie, Jiang Shu handed over the most important role of Qianxun to Shi Ran, and her voice is really suitable.
