Chapter 810: You go, go ahead(2/2)
"Director Qi, this is not a question of kindness or not, this is a question of reality." Xiao Qi's frustration and complaint were obvious. Wu Di had to restrain himself and comforted him: "You can't relax these days when I'm not here.
I must actively contact the big bosses of the organizing committee and perform well, so that my arrangements can be put to use."
Even if Wu Di has Brother Hai to help him, those are all private activities, and we cannot relax about those activities that are public.
At least, in the eyes of media friends and people inside and outside the industry, our film was able to win the award in the end because we worked actively and won the unanimous favor of the judges.
It's not the recommendation or solicitation from some big boss.
This is a very important point.
In fact, every year at the film festival, whether it is the top three in Europe or the Oscar winner in country A, there will be some upset contestants.
In some cases, it is simply a failure of the film. In the eyes of many people, the winning film is not the best among the nominated films. It can even be said that it is lagging behind to make up for the number.
However, he actually defeated many seeded contestants in one fell swoop and even won an award. This seems incredible to most people, and naturally it will cause great controversy.
However, this is the rule of the film festival. Once the grand prize is awarded, it is finalized and there is absolutely no possibility of change.
No matter how great the controversy is and how loud the voice of criticism is, it is impossible to make any changes.
This is still different from competitive sports.
Therefore, from this perspective, since the market has a high degree of recognition for various Category A film festivals and they are all regarded as the best, then if we operate more on such awards and spend a certain amount of money, if they really succeed
, it’s really worth it.
Of course, now there are more and more awards being offered. Some people are happy and some are worried. You can spend money and connections, and I can do the same.
However, there is definitely only one film that will be successful in the end. In this case, won’t all the efforts of other people be in vain?
Regardless of the connections, they were all in vain.
It is precisely because there are more and more operations surrounding film festivals and they are becoming more open, so the attitude of society towards these operations is gradually changing.
A long time ago, such behavior was looked down upon, but any film that was revealed to have won awards through operations and was not worthy of its reputation would usually be put on a rack of shame, and would be beaten to death at every award.
However, in recent years, such calls have gradually disappeared, because no matter whether it is an award-winning film or a non-award-winning film, it must be operated.
Moreover, everyone was open and generous when carrying out such activities, and never intended to be secretive.
Because this kind of behavior has become commonplace, no one makes a fuss and everyone is used to it.
So, what became of the unaccustomed things that replaced it?
Those are those small actions behind the scenes, such as sending sample films to jury members in advance, investing a large amount of publicity funds, or even sending them directly to a certain jury. These things are not uncommon in the history of the film festival.
Rarely seen.
