Chapter 778 All for the sake of winning the prize(2/2)
Impossible!
Apart from winning the Best Newcomer Award for his debut work that year, he still hasn't had any other achievements after working hard for so many years.
For such a director, one cannot sum up his experience without saying that he is a film festival complainer. It is too miserable, really.
This type of director often gives people a very resentful feeling. If you want to say that he is incompetent, this is pure slander.
If you don't have the ability, you won't be shortlisted at all. Moreover, they are often shortlisted, which is enough to prove that the films shot by this director still have basic quality.
Some of the works are even quite outstanding.
However, since it is so outstanding, why can't it be officially awarded?
This matter is a long story to tell, too long.
It should be said that every film festival has its own tone, and to be shortlisted, it can be said that these films must be in line with the style of the film festival.
However, if you want to win an award, it is not enough just to have the right taste. Your work must also have very outstanding advantages.
In short, it is the highlight that can be unforgettable. We not only want excellent works, but we also want to award awards to those truly outstanding works.
This is the purpose stated by the three major film festivals when they were founded. Although it cannot be said that it can be achieved every time, at least it is still something that they have always insisted on.
As long as the opportunity is right, the judges are still willing to implement it.
As for a director who has been shortlisted time and time again but still fails to win the award, it is actually time for him to reflect on himself.
It's not enough just to be shortlisted. As long as you still want to win awards, you have to make slight changes to your film style.
The reason why he keeps trying but never succeeds may be that this person's works are too balanced in all aspects.
He was so calm that it was difficult for the judges to notice him and favor him at a glance.
Moreover, many times, the judges also need freshness. If you come every year, if your works are the same in terms of story core and shooting techniques every year, it will also feel old-fashioned to the judges.
No highlights.
It can be seen that for the judges of the Water City Film Festival, Xiao Qi, the director of Maze and Maze, is also a very fresh person.
This time, Xiao Qi was shortlisted. Naturally, he inherited Lao Zhang's sentiments to a large extent. However, his works are of excellent quality and full of freshness, which is an element that cannot be ignored.
In recent years, domestic entertainment has not given up the competition for awards at the three major film festivals. Every year, many directors, whether old or young, target the three major film festivals.
Sometimes as soon as their movies are released, you can smell the familiar smell even when you see the synopsis of the story.
ah!
Get a prize!
That’s what it tastes like!
Although everyone worked hard, the fact is that they still achieved very little.
In addition to the quality of the movies, the duplication of themes is also a reason. Everyone knows the three majors' hobbies, and when making movies, they always rush towards that tone, thinking that they can get recognition from the three majors faster.
