After transmigrating into the cultivation world, the school topper was reborn - chapter 454

As we all know, the most difficult thing for an actress to marry into a rich family was the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The people who tried to fish in muddy water were so scared that they wiped the sweat on their foreheads, “Her boyfriend is guarding her too tightly, and the fighting power of the fans is too sturdy, I couldn’t afford it.”

This gossip had brought another wave of popularity to the movie “The prisoner”.

Netizens didn’t know that this movie had been finished and had been sent to the Berlin Film Festival to be judged. They thought that Su Xingchen was really replaced.

Netizens were still discussing this matter, but the fans who should be the most excited were quiet.

Cheng Kangyao, one of Su Xingchen’s fans, Curly and fans who met in Romania the previous time constrained these fans.

Although they didn’t know what was going on, they knew that everything was fine with Su Xingchen.

Because of this wave of popularity, netizens who didn’t know that there was this movie also came to know this movie’s name.

After Su Xingchen’s re-examination ended, the news of “The prisoner” shortlisted as Golden Bear Award and Su Xingchen’s best actress was also passed to Su Xingchen’s ear through Lin Dao. It surprised Su Xingchen.

Asian films wanted to go to European film festivals, especially mainstream film festivals. With the excellent quality of the film itself, getting capital operations was indispensable. (Investment at right time)

However, the capital operation would only operate after the nomination and award stages, and wouldn’t operate all the shortlisted works.

No one would remember that there were several shortlisted films in the film festival, so it was meaningless to operate the shortlisted works. Only when it was of excellent quality, through the shortlisted or even nominated, would the stakeholders behind it get returns.

Even if they get a nomination, they may not necessarily win the award. But it only increased the chance of winning.

Getting an award of a film, of course, was indispensable for the quality of the film itself, not to mention the capital group behind it.

With its own quality, “The prisoner” was nominated for the Golden Bear Award and Best Actress, which was unexpected by many people.

When Zhou Qing learned that Su Xingchen was nominated for the Best Actress in the Golden Bear Awards, he was happy and went crazy. He called Su Xingchen to discuss the matter for her public relations award.

In fact, being shortlisted didn’t mean nomination, nor was it an award. It only stood out among many movies and became one of the  possible nominations.

Lin Dao and him analyzed that the possibility of Su Xingchen being nominated was very small.

On one hand, the best actress had always been one of the most competitive awards among all awards. Top Hollywood actresses, female stars from all over the world, for the public relations, almost everyone use their personal connections, with contacts and money.

Even for a Hollywood’s top actress, facing the award of the best actress in the world’s three major international film festivals, the public relations wasn’t optional, unless she could definitely win the best actress Oscar.

This was of course impossible. There was only one Oscar best actress each year. In addition to those who had won unique awards repeatedly, less than fifty actresses had won the Oscar over sixty years.

Su Xingchen was a chinese, and had all the resources in China. It was difficult to win a category award at the European International Film Festival. Even if it was establishing public relations, Fire Media was only established for three years, and compared to the world’s top film companies, it was almost as small as an ant.

Zhou Qing’s family had money, potential, and connections. But these connections and forces were not in the movie circle, nor in the international movie circle, and there was no way to gain public relations.

So after discussion, Su Xingchen gave up the PR award decisively.

Zhou Qing was very sad.

If Su Xingchen had won the award at the World International Film Festival, her status in the entertainment industry could have been said to become a God level and unshakable.

It was a pity that Su Xingchen wasn’t interested in acting. She had already told Zhou Qing that after the contract expired, she would gradually withdraw from the entertainment industry and concentrate on the development in the pharmaceutical industry.

This made Zhou Qing very sad, but he hoped that she could continue to be named in the media.

The contract was only for three years, and there was only one shot by Su Xingchen.

But it also caused controversy among film critics at the festival.

Unlike Oscar which paid much attention to the artistry of the film, but at the same time had the same requirements for the story and viewing of the film, such as “Forrest Gump”, “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Brave Heart”, the three major film festivals in Europe paid more attention to pure art and social niche films.

This also led to the majority of the art films in the three major European film festivals, especially some Chinese-language films that won awards abroad, to not even be released in China. Even if it was released, it was destined to have such a low box office.

The movie ‘The prisoner’ was a rare Chinese film that combined artistic, social, and commercial features.

After the movie was shortlisted, it began to fight for nomination again.

Public relations got fully opened from this stage.

During this time, various scandals and news about competitors in the media continued. Today, this female star’s scandal was exposed. Tomorrow, that female star’s scandal was exposed. Even the female lead in the popular movie. As long as they had a chance to be nominated, their private matter was also exposed. If there was no scandal, they create a scandal.

Compared with the two leading nominations of the best actress and the best actor, in the Golden Bear Award, which was also on the category award, they paid more attention to the artistic and social nature of the movie itself.

“The prisoner” wasn’t lacking in artistry and sociality, but only one thing, its storytelling and viewing were too strong, it seemed to please the audience, that was, commercial.

This caused controversy at the Berlin Film Festival, which valued more artistic.

In China although this movie hadn’t been released yet, the popularity was very high, which also aroused the disgust of some judges. Of course, it may not be a disgust, but conflict of interest. Any film festival marketing and public relations were indispensable. Without improving the quality of their own movies, they could only attack their opponents’ movies to ensure that their competitors were out.

Of course, it wasn’t up to them to decide who could really get out of the game. This was also related to many factors. However, any small factor in the draw, etc., may cause the draw to fail.

Although Lin Dao had a strong literary atmosphere, he wasn’t ignorant of the rules in the circle and wasn’t inflexible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t make so many well-received movies. That was to say, when he was making movies, he wanted to make them and he also considered the market.

When the film was shortlisted, his friends in the jury circle sent him the controversy caused by the film’s nomination. He, his company, and the team had already done well. Once nominated, the public relations award must be made.
