Wang Yue and Feng Lei came over that day, not only because Su Butong asked them to find celebrities to participate in the show on New Year's Eve, December 31, but also because the Golden Flower Awards were presented this week.

Two people came with official invitation letters. They were given 5 letters in total. In addition to the director, screenwriter and two starring actors, there was one more. So the two people discussed inviting Su Butong to participate. After all, if Su Butong was not there,

There is no such drama in winter.

Su Butong readily agreed. He had never participated in this kind of award ceremony and did not know what the routines and procedures were in China. He smiled and asked the two of them: "Are you confident of winning the award?"

Regarding this question, the answers given by the two people were surprisingly consistent: "It is difficult to win domestic awards this year, and the industry is not optimistic about our film."

Su Butong frowned slightly, but then relaxed and asked: "Our box office has almost exceeded 100 million so far. Isn't this still promising?"

Wang Yue explained: "Budong, in the eyes of academics, the movie we made is more like a local tycoon who had nothing to do and made a movie for fun. Even though the starring roles of this movie are Xiao Qing and Jiang Wenyuan, the director is

Who? Who is the screenwriter? What qualifications do they have and what qualifications do they have to win the award?"

"So writer Wang doesn't want to win the award?" Su Butong threw it to Wang Yue and Feng Leiyan, telling them to do what they wanted.

Wang Yue took out a zippo, lit a cigarette with a lighter click.

Su Butong was enthusiastic about this thing. This lighter was made in the United States, so Wang Yue had this way to get this thing in China. He didn't think about buying a Zippo when he went abroad.

Wang Yue said: "I don't want to win awards. Although our results are very impressive, it does not mean that this movie is an award-winning movie."

Subudonqi was confused: "Our box office is high, which means we are popular. How can we not win an award?"

Feng Lei smiled bitterly and said: "Bu Dong, don't you understand yet? What Wang Yue means is that neither he nor I are from the 'industry'. This award is usually given to influential directors and screenwriters, saying that they wrote it."

The director's plays are more ideological, artistic and contemporary."

Su Butong was delighted: "We are enjoying ourselves by co-writing the movie, right?"

"That's probably what Qi means." Wang Yue said.

"Then since you predict that you won't win the award, why should we attend the award ceremony?" Su Butong wondered.

"Have you seen Water Margin? This is a petition. If we participate, it means that we are also 'mainstream'." Wang Yue said.

"We are recognized by the 'mainstream'? Is there anything wrong with you two? Do we need this 'mainstream' recognition?" Su Butong said speechlessly. I can't blame them both. After living in the system for a long time, everything is moving towards the so-called 'mainstream'

'.Su Butong didn't like this very much.

What is "mainstream"? To admit that others are mainstream is to say that you are non-mainstream. Su Butong feels that it is necessary to reverse the concepts of these two people.

"What was our original intention of making movies at that time? Are there two? One is to win foreign awards. The second is to make the people happy to hear and see it." Su Butong said. "Now we have completed half of our original intention, that is to make the people happy."

It’s great to hear and see, and the box office can prove it for us, right?”

"Having said that, what is a mainstream movie? In my opinion, a mainstream movie is a movie that can reflect the mainstream ideology and concepts of society. It is an integral part of the mainstream ideological structure of Chinese society and supports the mainstream ideology.

Durable and stable. Can’t the movies we make reflect mainstream ideologies and concepts? That’s not the case. You have to change the idea that we are inferior to others. Now they are inferior to us. Have any of you ever seen Chinese movies, or Asian movies made by Hollywood teams?

Assisted in filming? Seeing that you have such low self-esteem, you think that by attending an awards ceremony, you will enter the mainstream and be recognized by others? That's not the case. They will only laugh at you and say that in their discourse system, I say you are

You are rubbish. If you say your film is worthless, then it is worthless. Do you think our film will lose any value because of their comments? No, so I am ashamed for you." Su

Boudon did not criticize either of them. He just explained some truths to them so that they could understand more clearly.

"Then you mean we won't go to the award ceremony?" Wang Yue asked.

"Go, why not go? But we must go with loud gongs and drums to let all the media know that we are going to receive the award." Su Butong said.

"But what if we don't win the award?" Feng Lei asked. They discovered during the test screening before the film was released that some film critics were not very fond of them. It would not be a good thing if they won this award.

right.

"If we can't win an award, we have to tell the media, saying that we have a box office of 100 million, why can't we win an award? Are the people just watching the movie with disdain?" Su Butong is full of bad ideas, and now he wants to trick him again

People.

The three people discussed the rules again. Anyway, they were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. It was the established goal to go and get familiar with each other. So——

On the day of the awards.

In the auditorium of a certain ministry, the outside was decorated with lights and decorated with hand-painted posters of the Golden Flower Award.

Many people entered the auditorium one after another.

It was not fashionable to walk on the red carpet at this time. There were only two reporters at the door, holding cameras and listlessly taking photos and chatting.

This year's film festival awards ceremony was dim, and there was nothing to make them want to waste film. After all, many movies were pre-scheduled, and the organizers had informed the newspapers and media where these reporters worked in advance to let them focus on which ones.

Film creator.

"Hey, it's Xiaoqing and Jiang Wenyuan here." A reporter poked the person next to him and said.

"Have you heard that the two of them invested in the film and television company that produced "The Bayi Flag Flying" because of their acting skills, and they have already made this amount." The reporter raised three fingers.

"Thirty thousand yuan?" Another young reporter was a little surprised.

"Thirty thousand, is your imagination so poor? It's three hundred thousand! There are already many actors in the system asking how to join that film and television company." The older reporter was obviously showing off his well-informed information.

"Then let's take a quick photo of them."

"What the heck, I've seen all the lists. Today's award ceremony has nothing to do with them. All four are in vain," said the old reporter.

"Then they are still coming?"

"Who knows? Come on, I think they are here to accompany them. Didn't you go to the auditorium to see? Their seats are arranged in the last row... What does this mean? It means they are not treated well.

See you there," the old reporter said.

"Then shall we take pictures of them?"

"If you don't shoot, why are you wasting your energy? The crew of "Wild Mountain Village" will come later, and they will win the majority of the awards tonight." The old reporter warned the young reporter.
