Chapter 205 Special Audience

To enter the film festival, you must make an appointment in advance, and you must be an industry insider, or students from the film and television department can come in to watch the film through a relationship with the professor.

Just a few steps into the grand theater of the film festival, Fujiwara Kei met several students from Tokyo University of Literature and Art.

Fujiwara Kei and Ono Nagaharu each took a movie screening schedule. The screening time of "Suddenly Looking Back" is to premiere at four o'clock this afternoon in Theater No. 4.

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno looked at the timetables in their hands and decided which movies they wanted to watch.

For an audience, choosing a good movie is more or less a gamble. So most viewers will judge whether a movie is good or not by observing whether it has a director or actor they like, or what the reputation is.

nice.

However, these films at the film festival were all shot by unknown directors and passerby actors. Fujiwara Kei and Ono Nagaharu were the first audiences at the film festival, and no one provided them with lightning protection, so they had to watch the films in a blind box.

Use the movie title and a one-sentence introduction to the movie to find a movie that interests you. By the way, the one-sentence introduction of "Suddenly Looking Back" is: a love letter to the creator.

Kei Fujiwara scratched his head. Wasn't this a bit too literary and bland? If he were a passerby, he would have no interest in going into the theater to watch the movie.

But then I thought about it, this is not a commercial film after all. The purpose of film screening is to win awards. It is not very important how many viewers it can attract. The main task is to attract special audiences from the crowd.

There are 18 special invited audiences, that is, the reviewers who decide which film wins, and these reviewers have the task of watching all the participating films regardless of whether they are interested or not.

In addition to those reviewers, the general audience is mostly composed of film critics, independent filmmakers and some media reporters. They will also express their professional opinions on the film, but unlike the reviewers, they have no tasks.

, so you don’t need to watch all the videos. You will only choose videos shot by people you know, or videos that have gradually gained a good reputation in the past ten days to watch.

In this film festival, they are more like a group of ordinary audiences, watching films selectively.

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno had somewhat different tastes in watching movies. They chose different movies to watch, so they separated temporarily.

However, after walking a few steps, I heard a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahaha, Fujiwara-san, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Fujiwara Kei followed the reputation and found out that it was Hidaka Junmei.

Junaki Hidaka is a fat man with a mustache and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His personal image is very eye-catching. He walked towards Kei Fujiwara with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations! "Homeless Child" has entered the historical level.

Ratings, I’ve also watched that work, it’s really a good drama.”

"Thank you..." Fujiwara Kei smiled and shook hands with Hidaka Junaki. He originally wanted to say "Congratulations", but it always felt like ridicule, so he shut up.

"Is Hidaka-san a reviewer of second-round films at the film festival?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

"Yes." Hidaka Junming said, "The organizer is a good friend of mine. He invited me to be a special audience. I couldn't refuse the warm invitation, so I had to take a few days to come over and see what the young people's works are like."

"So that's it." Kei Fujiwara smiled.

Junaki Hidaka is really a wonderful person. When he was competing with Kei Fujiwara for the ratings war of "Month Nine", he was very rude when speaking in front of the media. He wanted to describe Kei Fujiwara as a hero who had never been a hero, and a person who was trying to gain fame by deceiving others.

.

Moreover, during the ratings war, an off-the-chart trick was used. Don’t say it was a coincidence, no one believed it.

However, after the smoke of the war, Kei Fujiwara was able to come and greet him without any psychological burden, just like a good friend who had known him for many years. It must be said that Kei Fujiwara was ashamed of his ability to do this in public.

"Isn't Fujiwara-sensei here specially invited?"

"No, I just came here out of personal interest." Fujiwara Keidao, "By the way, I want to see if there are any outstanding talents."

"It seems that Mr. Fujiwara's army is getting stronger again, and the [Moon Nine] plan seems to be really unstoppable." Hidaka Junming shook his head and said.

"I just hope that there will not be another opponent like Supervisor Ritaka at the same time. I would be grateful."

"The defeated general cannot be described as brave. I admire Fujiwara-sensei very much." Hidaka Junming said seriously at this time, "By the way, I heard that Fujiwara-sensei's contract at Fukuyamadai is only for two years? So next year this time will be

If not, it’s over.”

Kei Fujiwara remained silent. Although it was true, he was still a member of Fukuyamadai, and while he was still under contract, it might go against the spirit of the contract to spread the word to the world that his contract would expire in one year.

"It seems so." Hidaka Junming said, "In this case, I hope that we can give our TTV a chance. Talents like Mr. Fujiwara, Fukuyama Station can give you, our TTV production bureau can do it, as long as Fujiwara

We will not refuse any request from the teacher!"

This is a bit exaggerated. Could it be that when Fujiwara Kei said that he wanted to be the director, they would agree? But it is indeed a sincere statement, just like the screenwriter who created "The Heirs" once received a blank check from his boss.

.It is a real blank check, you can fill in the check amount however you want.

The boss can fill it in casually, but you can't really fill it in casually. If you fill in a hundred billion, the boss won't pick out your brain.

"Thank you very much, Director Hidaka, for your love." Fujiwara Keido said, "But I am still an employee of Fukuyama Terrace, so it is not convenient for me to talk about this matter."

"Understand, understand. Mr. Fujiwara is not only excellent in ability, but also has valuable character. It would be an honor for me if I could really cooperate with you."

"You are ridiculous."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words and then separated. Kei Fujiwara walked into a movie hall, found a seat and sat down to watch. He looked around and saw many media people.

Some people are quite serious, holding notebooks in their hands to record the pros and cons of the movie.

Soon, the movie started. It was a long movie. After watching it for less than fifteen minutes, Kei Fujiwara felt a little drowsy.

It's quite a bit like what Ohno Nagaharu used to do.

Many casual spectators gradually couldn't stand it anymore and left directly.

Fujiwara Kei endured the whole process, then glanced at the reviewer with a notebook not far away, and craned his neck to see what he wrote.

I can vaguely see the writing in the book: The story is mediocre, the rhythm is messy, the camera is rough, the soundtrack is inconsistent, and it has no merit.

It was literally a death sentence.

Kei Fujiwara stood up and headed to the next cinema.

After watching a movie, people started discussing different movies shown in different theaters at the same time.

Since most of the people who come here to watch movies are industry insiders, or at least college students majoring in film-related fields, their opinions are more professional and their evaluations are more accurate.

"The show I watched was just average. Isn't there any better work?"

"My performance was pretty good. I'm from Hall 1."

"What to watch next?"

"Hmm... Let's take a look... It seems that Tetsuya Iwai's "Lucky" will be screened in half an hour. This is still a student director. His work won the Encouragement Award last year, but I think it is the best among all the Encouragement Award works.

I want to get the best one. Should I wait for his movie or watch something else first?"

"Wait for him. My boyfriend saw this work at the Higashi Bunge Academy Festival. I heard it was pretty good. I hope it can win the first place this year."

"Eastern Literature and Art... A friend of mine is also from East Literature and Art. He told me that Kei Fujiwara from their school will also participate in the film festival this year. He should be a strong opponent."

"Kei Fujiwara? Which Kei Fujiwara?"

"Kei Fujiwara, don't you know? The one with the pen name Keita Shima is also the main screenwriter of the recent Fukuyama Taiyue Nine dramas."
