I'm almost a Muggle

Brother Fa doesn't know what to say.

When rich people pretend to compete, just listen.

Fortunately, he is also a rich man, so he can barely understand Lin Dong's mood, and Lin Dong's persistence in meat does not seem to be pretending.

"Congratulations on winning the Best Supporting Actor. It's a matter of time before the best actor. Are you interested in "New Shushan" participating in the Academy Awards?" asked Brother Fa.

"It shouldn't be there," Lin Dong found a reason and said, "Does Xin Shushan meet the selection criteria?"

In addition to the limitations on the release time, the Academy Awards also require that the movie must be more than 60 minutes long, must be open for tickets in Hong Kong, and there must be no less than five screenings within a week.

This is nothing, many movies in mainland China can actually be released in Xiangjiang.

What really blocks mainland movies from the Hong Kong Film Awards are a few simply weird conditions.

If you want to be shortlisted for the Academy Awards, the director must be a Xiangjiang resident who holds a Xiangjiang permanent resident ID card;

Second, the production company must have a legally registered company for Xiangjiang;

Third, the film has at least six work projects staff members who are residents of Xiangjiang, and are calculated based on sixteen awards: producer, screenwriter, male lead, female lead, supporting actor, supporting actress, new actor, photography, action design, art guidance, costume styling, editing, original movie music, original movie songs, sound effects and visual effects.

Only one Xiangjiang staff member is calculated for each work item; if there are more than one lyricist and lead singer of the "Original Movie Song" composer, only one of them will be calculated.

The above three items must meet at least two conditions before they are qualified to be called Xiangjiang Film and are qualified to be shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards.

If it were the early days, when the Academy Awards were still in Oriental Hollywood, mainland movies would indeed find ways to meet two of the conditions, such as hiring a Xiangjiang deputy director, or finding a Xiangjiang company to participate in the production, or more than six of them were Xiangjiang staff.

Now Hong Kong is no longer able to do it, and the Academy Awards are not enough.

Who is so fucking bad to meet your conditions? If you want to love, the Academy Awards will sooner or later become worse than emerging awards such as the Media Awards.

"What a pity." Brother Fa was silent for a moment, and finally just sighed.

His current status is highly respected and can almost represent the appearance of the Hong Kong movie, but he is still unable to change the rules of the Academy Awards.

"New Shushan" has Xu Wei added and Xu Wei edited version, but Xu Wei's label in the creation column is the producer, the first-ranked one, so it cannot meet the first item.

The second item cannot be satisfied. "New Shushan" is an exclusive and exclusive film produced by Klester.

"With "Cold War 2", the Academy Awards will definitely be very lively next year." Lin Dong praised the other party, but it sounded more like a satirical sound, meaning that there are local snakes like you, did I use "New Shushan" as a foil in the past?

Brother Fa didn't know if Lin Dong had this meaning, but he actually didn't care.

He thought it thoroughly. Since we are all from the same family, we will integrate with each other sooner or later. If you really want to make a living, you might as well come to work in the mainland.

It was like in the 1990s, a large number of mainlanders were involved in the entertainment industry.

There is no need to hold it all the time.

"Are you interested in investing in Xiangjiang movies? Oh, forget it, it's not a big Hong Kong movie. They are all Chinese-language movies. I recently came across a project and felt it was pretty good. It's different from "Cold War", but it's lack of investment."

He is talking about Zhuang Wenqi's "Not Two".

As early as 2008, Zhuang Wenqi spent two days to create a 10,000-word story outline of "The Unusual", but at that time his work was not satisfactory and no one wanted the script he wrote.

It was not until 2011 that "No Two" had a complete script, but it was delayed in filming.

One reason is that the subject matter is sensitive, it was not until 2014 that Zhuang Wenqi obtained the permit for shooting and actually started preparing for this drama.

The second is that he has a big investment. There are many large-scale action scenes in the script. Friends advised him to reduce the action scenes and shoot them in a cheap way, but Zhuang Wenqi was unwilling to compromise.

The third is that based on the previous two reasons, no boss is willing to invest.

If you don’t have money, everything will be useless.

However, when Zhuang Wenqi grew up little by little from the bottom, the most important thing he lacked is resilience.

The three "Epilogue" established his position in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and some people began to contact him to provide funds, but the current entertainment companies in Xiangjiang are all sluggish and they really can't afford much money.

The rich ones took them to film the Legend of the Gods and went to praise their sons.

Could it be...

Lin Dong came to participate in the Capital International Film Festival, but actually wanted to see if there were any suitable projects.

Unfortunately, everyone is chatting with him now. Two of the three sentences are inseparable from "New Shushan". They are asking whether "New Shushan" should be filmed. Those with rich want to make money, and those with no money want to play a role.

Now, someone finally talks to him about the project.

It's still the first-class film industry that once was the first-class film industry. The reason why it was once was that Xiangjiang Entertainment was no longer possible, and many of the movies that Fa Ge came to the mainland were bad movies.

He is not even as good as Liang Zihui and Liu Furong.

"Let's talk about this movie. Are there any simple scripts or something?"

Lin Dong wiped his hands, and he was not panicked.

Brother Fa really couldn't get it out for a while, but he had seen the script many times, and now he briefly introduced Lin Dong what the story it was.

"A bit like "The Very Suspect." Lin Dong watched a lot of movies, no less than the native filmmakers here.

"I've noticed this too, so I looked it out several times. There are indeed some similarities in terms of creativity, and there are also architectures, but the plot is absolutely original, and it is more exciting than "The Very Suspect". "Fa Ge did not avoid this question.

In front of experts, avoiding things is just messing up.

If the audience points out, it will not admit it even if it is beaten to death. If it admits, not only will the director and screenwriter lose their reputation, but the hard work of hundreds of people for several months will also be lost.

Therefore, it is not a question of whether you are stubborn or not, but a question of your job.

But if you are so stubborn in front of investors, there is really no need to continue talking.

When talking about investment, you have to follow the investor and say that if he questions you, even if you don’t have such a thing, you cannot veto it. You have to prove your innocence in a slight way.

But "Wu Er" is really not that innocent, at least you can't say that it is creative without connection.

There is also the final reversal, which is really something that ordinary brains can think of. Christopher Maikaulley, the screenwriter of "The Very Suspect", won three best script awards for this film, the British Academy of Film Arts Award, and the Independent Spirit Award.

In Lin Dong's mind, "Former Destination" can be compared with it.
