China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Chapter 32 I’m sorry you let us know the truth!

Xie Xiaojing admired the short film Che 44 very much, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, a short film is a short film and it is impossible for it to be released in theaters.

Xie Xiaojing looked at Wu Yuchen, wanting to hear what he wanted to say next.

I want to send Che 44 to the Berlin Film Festival to compete for the Short Film Award. Wu Yuchen did not shy away from it and said it directly.

Berlin... Xie Xiaojing was in a daze for a moment.

They have really ignored the short film campaign. In fact, in China, they have not paid much attention to the development of short films in the past. They only regard short films as a tool to train students.

At the same time, Xie Xiaojing was still thinking in her mind, has a Chinese-language film ever won a short film award abroad before?

He thought for a while, and it seemed that he really found something like this in his mind.

In 1982, at the West Berlin International Film Festival in what was then called West Germany, China's Three Monks won the Silver Bear Award for short films.

But this Three Monks is a cartoon!

This was created by the Magic City Art Studio and has nothing to do with filmmakers like them, so no one in the circle mentioned it.

In the more than ten years since then, no short films from Chinese-language films have been sent out to participate in the competition, so much so that he actually ignored the short film award.

Short Film Campaign...

Xie Xiaojing murmured, and then sighed.

This may or may not work.

Shooting a short film does not require approval in China, but if you want to send it abroad to participate in award selection, it is different and you must pass the above review.

But Xie Xiaojing thought about the content of the short film Che 44 and thought that she might not be able to pass it.

Wu Yuchen nodded. In fact, he had expected it.

It is now 1995. In fact, the review system has not been fully established, and many places are unclear.

You can call it strict, but it is much looser than it was ten or twenty years later. You can see many large-scale films in the 1990s, and both the lines and the content are far beyond the imagination of later generations.

But if you want to say that it is very loose, it is not. As long as it has international image problems, even if it is only possible, then every penny will be counted.

And Che 44 seems likely to be labeled as vilifying Chinese people at this time.

This short film in my previous life won many international awards in 2001, but was banned in China. However, it was released ten years later because the social situation has changed too much. After more than ten years, it is no longer even recommended to act bravely. It will be banned again. This makes no sense.

But now Wu Yuchen will face this problem. He was not in a hurry and said calmly:

Teacher, that's what I think. I don't go through the official submission channels. I send it privately in my own name.

Xie Xiaojing frowned immediately after hearing this, and her voice immediately became louder:

How is this okay? Don't you know you might be punished for doing this?

In serious cases, even...

Even your future is ruined!

Of course Wu Yuchen also knows that there are risks, but it is related to the funds for his next movie, so it is worth taking some risks.

And while there is risk, it’s not that big.

Wu Yuchen asked Xie Xiaojing:

Teacher, I know you care about me.

Let me ask you a question first, who is more influential, the short film or the feature film?

Of course it's a feature film! Xie Xiaojing blurted out.

Everyone knows this problem. Short films cannot be shown in theaters at all!

Wu Yuchen smiled and further analyzed:

Last year, To Live won so many awards internationally and had such great influence. After returning to China, the film was banned, but isn't Zhang Yimou still doing well? He continued filming Shake, Shake, to Grandma Bridge when he came back.

I know there is no comparison between me and Brother Zhang, but I only have a short film that will not be released even if it is released. The influence and communication power are not at the same level as Alive.

If I didn't win the award, then nothing would happen, and the higher-ups wouldn't care about me at all.

If I were asked about any award I won after returning to China, I would just admit my mistake and say I just entered school and didn’t know.

If the school is willing to say a few words for me, then I think for the sake of the school’s face, the most they can do is criticize and educate me.

Xie Xiaojing opened her mouth when she heard this. This seems to make sense!

The influence of the short film is too small. Firstly, it cannot be released in theaters, and secondly, it cannot be released on disc. It has always been ignored by the country.

Afterwards, Jingying took Wu Yuchen to bow his head and admit his mistake. The child had just entered school and was not sensible. At most, he could write a self-reflection and teach him, and then the matter would basically be over.

Xie Xiaojing suddenly reacted and looked at the student sitting opposite in surprise. Has this kid planned it from the beginning? !

He couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, is this a new student? This is so cool!

Xie Xiaojing could not help but point at Wu Yuchen and cursed with a smile:

Okay, let me ask you why you took the initiative to call us teachers over to watch your movie. How dare you let us help you to find out the truth!

Wu Yuchen smiled naively:

Teacher, how can this be possible?

I just feel that since I am a student of Jingying Film, we, as a big united and friendly family, will definitely not leave me alone!

Xie Xiaojing shook her head gently and sighed: I really regret calling you here today!

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuchen immediately picked up his teacup and said respectfully: Thank you, teacher! Thank you to the school!

How could Wu Yuchen not hear it? Xie Xiaojing didn't object, so naturally he acquiesced.

Wu Yuchen, please stay at school for me and don't make any more trouble!

How can I? Teacher, you see that I am usually the most active in class!

After Wu Yuchen left, Xie Xiaojing felt a little tired. This new student was talented, but he also had too many ideas. It was estimated that he would still have to struggle at Beijing Film Academy in the next few years.

He thought about Che 44 again. It was just a short film. It didn't have any treacherous content, so Jingying Film could still handle it.

However, he still wanted to inform Dean Hou about this matter.

After Wu Yuchen came out of Xie Xiaojing's house, he felt refreshed and the sky was much bluer.

This time I came here and basically got all the benefits I could get!

This is the benefit of relying on an organization. Otherwise, where would these resources come from? Who will endorse you and help you intercede?

Wu Yuchen knew this very clearly from the beginning. All the underground directors who were banned made feature films, and none of them were banned because of their short films.

And in his short film, there is no reactionary content at all.

If you want to say it's true, it can't compare to Alive!

As for your question about why it was okay for Lao Mouzi to win an award for To Live, but later Jiang Wen was banned for five years for The Devils Are Coming after winning the award. Decades later, there is no accurate answer. Although the final right of interpretation belongs to others, they never bother to explain!

Anyway, his Che 44 has nothing to do with politics at all.

Therefore, the risk is not high and the risk is worth taking.
