I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 131 Shanghai International Film Festival

I don't know where Baidu Baike got its information from, but it even includes Wang Zhi's childhood experiences.

For example, Wang Zhi showed extraordinary talent from a young age. When she was seven, her parents chose martial arts as an extracurricular activity for her, which started her unique path of learning martial arts.

Then, it goes on to exaggerate Wang Zhi’s extraordinary perseverance and hard work, how he kept moving forward on this path and never retreated.

After four years of unremitting efforts, she has mastered multiple martial arts, including Wing Chun and Taekwondo, demonstrating remarkable strength.

A young girl who is not yet an adult probably doesn't even know what relentless effort means, yet Baidu Encyclopedia is talking nonsense.

As Wang Zhixin's best friend, Da Tiantian looked both curious and astonished when she saw the information.

Her best friend was outstanding, especially in dance and martial arts; she admired her to the point of near death.

She has been living and eating with Wang Zhi for the past few days, and no one has come to interview Wang Zhi. Where did these messages on the internet come from?

Did Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia) plant a spy satellite on Wang Zhi?

For this reason, Da Tiantian even asked Wang Zhi if she had ever been interviewed by anyone.

Wang Zhi herself was completely baffled!

She had almost forgotten everything that happened when she was a child, but Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia) was able to find things about her when she was seven years old, which was really amazing.

It can only be said that some people understand themselves better than they understand themselves.

Although Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia) exaggerates a bit, Wang Zhi herself is still very outstanding. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to apply to the Central Academy of Drama with her excellent martial arts skills and be successfully admitted.

Wang Zhi isn't a huge star now, but she's not exactly a newcomer either, since she's acted in Cheng Sheng's movies.

It can be said that Wang Zhi became famous overnight because of Cheng Sheng's relationship with him.

this day.

Cheng Sheng had just finished a day of filming.

He asked Liu Meng to stay and handle things on set, as he had originally planned to go back to the hotel to rest.

Unexpectedly, Xing Aina called him at that moment.

"What? You've invited me to the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival? I don't think I have any films involved, do I?"

Cheng Sheng was completely bewildered by Xing Aina's words.

He only directed one film, "The Origins of the Tang Dynasty," and apart from participating in the Venice Film Festival, he doesn't seem to have submitted any other films to any other film festivals.

How did the Shanghai Film Festival invite me?

Of course, it might have been an invitation for her to be a guest, but Xing Aina informed the film award participants instead.

In other words, his film was shortlisted for the Shanghai International Film Festival.

"Yes, boss, the film festival jury has already sent the invitations to the company."

Since Cheng Sheng invited her to be the manager of Shengli Studio, Xing Aina and Ning Hao came to the company the next day and took over the administrative work of the studio.

"I didn't even submit my film for selection, did they make a mistake?" Cheng Sheng asked, puzzled.

“I’ve already inquired. You didn’t submit your film for the competition, but the Central Academy of Drama took it and said you had already agreed,” Xing Aina said.

The Central Academy of Drama's principal, Xu Xiaozhong.

Reminded by Xing Aina, Cheng Sheng finally remembered.

He remembered that a month ago, Principal Xu Xiaozhong called him and said he would help him submit his film to some film festival, but because he was busy with his new film at the time, he didn't ask any questions and just told the principal to handle it himself.

Unexpectedly, Principal Xu Xiaozhong helped me register for the Shanghai International Film Festival.

It seems I'll have to go this time. After all, the film has been nominated, and if he doesn't show up, it would be a slap in the face to Principal Xu Xiaozhong and the film festival.

"When does the film festival start?" Cheng Sheng asked.

“June 20th,” Xing Aina said.

"Okay, I'll go that day."

There are still three days until it starts, so I can still find the time to participate.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Sheng began to recall some things about this year's film festival.

It has to be said that another memory is really knowledgeable about the entertainment industry.

Even news about various film festivals is readily available. This is probably one of the benefits of having the internet in the future. After all, any news about the entertainment industry will be spread online immediately.

When Cheng Sheng recalled the winners of this year's Golden Goblet Award, his brows furrowed slightly.

Of the eight Golden Goblet Awards, only two were won domestically. Although both awards are quite good, they seem more like consolation prizes.

The Japanese actually benefited, with the Chinese film "Rural Photo Studio" winning the Best Film Award.

Meanwhile, the domestic film "Please Praise Me" won the Jury Prize and Best Screenplay Award, Chinese actor Teng Long also won the Best Actor Award, Danish director Ramel Hammerrick won the Best Director Award for "Young Andersen", New Zealand's Stuart Reber won the Best Cinematography Award for "My Father's Hut", and Vietnam's Dang Nguyen Phuc won the Best Music Award for "The Changing Times".

As for the actress award, it was given to a certain Zhao.

Made.

I feel a bit frustrated!
I wonder if, with its own film nominated for awards this time, it will still be awarded Best Picture to the country of Little Japan.

Although the domestic market showed signs of recovery last year due to its own films, it still feels like foreigners are benefiting at the expense of the domestic market.

Something happened in March of this year, which is why Cheng Sheng said that the rise of the domestic film market is cheap for foreigners.

2005 Shanghai Film Week.

在3月24日至3月30日在魔都举行，8部棒子国影片在11家影院正式上映。

In recent years, South Korean films, which have risen rapidly, have not only achieved amazing box office results in South Korea, but have also won many fans at major film festivals around the world and in various Asian countries.

The film week is jointly organized by the China Film Association, the Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Shanghai Film Group.

The aim is to stimulate the domestic market and make it more active.

It was supposed to be a film week, but unexpectedly it turned into a South Korean film week.

Well, they turned their away game into a home game, and the domestic films were overshadowed.

When Cheng Sheng saw this news, he wanted to curse some domestic directors: "Can't you guys be a little more productive?!"

While other countries like South Korea have invaded your own country, you can't even produce a single decent work.

No wonder the Korean wave will be so popular in China in the next few years; it turns out it's all because our own people are useless.

Of course, the Korean wave didn't break out in the future; it had already begun to appear in mainland China in the late 90s and early 00s.

With classic Korean dramas such as "Star in My Heart," "Autumn in My Heart," and "Winter Sonata" as examples, the Korean Wave has begun to spread in China and other parts of Asia.

The real explosion of the Korean Wave occurred from the mid-00s to the early 2010s.

With the rise of the TV series "Dae Jang Geum" and groups such as Super Junior, Girls' Generation, and BigBang, the Korean Wave reached its peak of international influence.

During this period, Korean dramas, music, and movies flourished, forming a trend of global dissemination.
