Films coming to Cannes, as long as they are not particularly small independent film productions, usually have a press conference.

After all, being able to be shortlisted for the top three and get some recognition is quite important to many film and television practitioners.

But whether this press conference is self-deception or whether it is really that popular, unless you are a person who comes to the scene, it will be difficult to tell the truth from the false.

At least this is the case domestically.

At around 11 p.m. on the 2nd, Chinese time, "Love Is Not Blind" held a press conference in Cannes. News that the conference was packed with people appeared in domestic news sections.

Putting aside the unlucky guy who works overtime and stays up late to catch up on the manuscript, at least many people who care about Cannes, or the film and television industry, know from these news... Xu Xin once again "out of the circle" movie.

"Thirty-three Days of Lost Love"

Xi Film Studio has achieved its goal and has released a trailer, scheduled to be released on June 2nd.

After releasing all the news to movie fans, the popularity of "33 Days" is not as popular as the previous "Hawthorn Tree".

Many people feel that... they seem to be familiar with it.

Isn’t it natural for Xu Xin’s movie to be popular?

Although I don’t know when it started, the impression of “Xu Xin = a hit” has fallen into everyone’s mind.

But at least, that's what many movie fans do think now.

Even some of his fans have begun to compare him with the old man when he first debuted.

Finally, I came up with this sentence:

"Well, Xu Gouqing is better than a master."

In fact, this statement is seriously untrue.

But I can’t help but many people say this.

For new movie fans, Director Zhang... or the golden age of fifth-generation directors is too far away.

But Xu Xin is very close.

Therefore, when we heard that his film was well received in Cannes, everyone was quite indifferent.

Good is as it should be.

Not being good is the problem.

No, the news just came out on the 2nd, but at around ten o'clock in the evening on the 3rd, "33 Days" was full, and the seats were packed, and Qing Yishui'er's photos of foreign faces had already been sent back.

As for these domestic news, people from Xiying Studio also talked to Xu Xin.

But Xu Xin, who has always been very modest about his achievements, did not say anything about "putting out fires" this time.

Because that's what he wants.

In the beginning, it was only produced by Xu Xin, and it must be a high-quality product.

Later, the films produced by Xiying Film Studio must be high-quality.

Getting rich first leads to getting rich later.

For the goal that everyone has in mind, on this road where we don’t know whether it will be thorny or glorious, people in the northwest circle must find someone who can carry the banner of the times.

And this candidate...

Apart from him, there is currently no more suitable choice.

Although this road may be difficult to walk, you must walk it.

In the battle of faith, you cannot take a step back unless you are exhausted and die.

As Xu Xin's partner and solid backing, Xi Film Studio struck while the iron was hot and announced a piece of news early in the morning on the 4th amid the heat that didn't seem to cause much commotion.

"The Jury Club of the "Silk Road Film Festival" was established and began to recruit members from the whole society."

The emergence of this news actually did not cause too many waves.

At least, that's the case for outsiders.

As early as April, Xi Film Studio had already announced the regulations for the "Silk Road Film Festival" on its official website.

But there is not much publicity in other aspects.

Because the time has not come yet.

The charter only announced some standards for submission of works for review.

Putting aside some requirements with Chinese characteristics, such as "conforming to the correct values ​​​​of SHZY" and so on, when it comes to the soul skeleton, it is almost the same as the international A-class film festival.

1. The movie must be a completed movie.

2. It has not been shown on the Internet or DVD.

3. Excluding the short film unit, feature films must last more than 60 minutes.

The core is actually these three.

It can be said that it follows the terms of the international Class A film festival.

In addition, there is the setting of award types.

It is also a dual-track system.

Main competition unit, Silk Road unit.

As the name suggests, the main competition unit is the competition unit that competes for major awards.

The Silk Road unit is actually the skyline of Venice, or an attribute of a unit in Cannes.

However... this name has a very romantic Chinese flavor.

In ancient times, China relied on the Silk Road to connect with the outside world.

Nowadays, the Silk Road Film Festival follows the example of the ancients and has launched such a platform for some niche films or films with potential, as well as directors, filmmakers, etc., to showcase themselves to more people.

The specific regulations of the Silk Road are actually quite concise, but there are many things that need to be polished.

But one thing is that it does not clarify the nature of the film festival.

It was not specified whether it was a domestic or international film. However, according to a subsequent interview with Qi Lei, everyone learned that the people at the Silk Road Film Festival are very pragmatic and did not have the monstrous reputation they wanted to achieve from the beginning.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

They plan to start with the Chinese film market.

However, because it is only a charter and the specific details have not been disclosed, the popularity is not high. At the same time, the audience's recognition is also relatively low.

After all...there are more and more awards of various sizes in China.

There is also an increasing lack of credibility.

Who knows if this film festival is just another face-saving thing?

But when they took advantage of Xu Xin's popularity this time and released this news...

Suddenly, the audience in the circle noticed something different.

The news about Xiying Studio actually came very suddenly, but this suddenness was far less shocking than the headline.

What are they going to do?

Want to...recruit members from the whole society?

Are you kidding...what kind of international joke are you kidding?

Although I read the news carefully and found that the recruitment was for preliminary membership, which is the so-called "audition", this was shocking enough.

How to set up the member review mechanism?

If too many people sign up, how much work will you have to do?

Isn't this a joke...

You should know that the review committees of several major domestic film festivals are currently closed to the public.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In other words, in addition to the formal judges announced every year to select the films that have been shortlisted and decide who will win a certain award, the film submission and selection stage is

The work of the jury at that time was basically not disclosed.

No one knows how these people were selected or how they did it.

Everything is operated through a non-transparent process.

But there is a common understanding in this non-transparent operation, that is, these people must not be selected from the "public".

Are you kidding me? The public will be the judge?

What should we do if our film source is leaked?

Although they also know that this is a bit hypocritical... after all, the judges of every film festival must sign a strict confidentiality agreement, and the film festival organizers must also ensure the safety of film sources.

But...the first reaction of many film practitioners when seeing this requirement is to resist it.

Why should the public judge the quality of our movies?

They know shit about movies.
