Chapter 675 Arrogant stick

What is a science fiction movie?

Science fiction movies use science as the basis, starting from fantasy, and use the language of movies to tell a story about social relationships in a special science fiction setting situation, which can include the harmonious and conflicting relationship between people and society, people and nature, people and science, and people. .

The creativity of science fiction movies is the basis for serving movie creation, and excellent science fiction movies cannot be separated from excellent creativity.

Science cannot be separated from fantasy, and art cannot be separated from reality. This is the best portrayal of science fiction art!

Among so many science fiction film festivals around the world, the World Science Fiction Film Festival is one of the best.

If a science fiction film can be premiered at a film festival, it will be widely recognized by filmmakers. After all, it is one of the most recognized film festivals in the world.

Film festivals are looking for thought-provoking, challenging, and interesting genre films, which can be long, short, and documentaries related to science fiction.

Scientific facts and science fiction are separated from film festivals and belong to two different links. If Lin Han wants to participate, it is in the Science fiction section.

The rules for participating in the competition are very simple. Non-English films must have English subtitles. At the same time, the science fiction feature films must be more than 60 minutes, and science fiction short films also take 8-18 minutes. As for science fiction VR movies, it must be much looser. This is mainly to show people the most cutting-edge scientific research results!

"Jurassic Park will also participate in this film festival, but it is just as a special movie screening and will not participate in any awards review session, mainly promoting the film's Blu-ray disc and VR movies."

Lin Han thought for a while and said, "The registration time should last for a few days now, and I will consider it again. You ask the people from the Propaganda and Planning Department to do a feasibility report analysis, and then see what we can get!"

If there is not enough benefit, he does not want his movie to be exposed in advance, and he must be able to see and get rewards.

Miao Hong cannot force Lin Han, "This time the World Science Fiction Film Festival will be held in Seoul, South Korea. The participating filmmakers come from all over the world, whether emerging filmmakers, senior filmmakers or investment experts in the film industry have the opportunity to show themselves at the film festival and attract more audiences for their works. This year's film festival also invited film masters who have won many Oscars as judges."

Since the World Science Fiction Film Festival started, Chinese science fiction films have been absent from this stage. There are no movies in China to participate in the competition, and domestic media do not pay attention to this film festival!

When Lin Han heard that the film festival would be held in Seoul, he actually admired the Korean filmmakers. The film industry in neighboring countries in China has been improving, including South Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc. On the contrary, we, who have achieved outstanding achievements in film art, seem to be trapped in the ocean of bad movies, with no worst, only worse.

Even Koreans can make good-quality science fiction movies and invite such a grand event in the science fiction world to their own country for holding. However, domestic science fiction is like darkness before dawn, and is anxiously waiting for the dawn!

When it comes to science fiction movies, it seems that science fiction movies are Hollywood's specialties.

But Hollywood is just the main force, which does not mean that other countries do not have such movies. For example, there are films like "The Moon Travel", "The Space Travel", "Twenty Thousand Miles Under the Sea", and "Alpha City". The British Frankenstein also made its first appearance on the big screen, and the former Soviet Union also had "Sorace".

In addition to the United States, outstanding filmmakers such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, Mexico, and South Korea have also produced wonderful works!

In the past two years, since Lin Han's science fiction novels have ignited the science fiction souls of the people, and the several movies adapted from his novels have achieved very good results in box office and reputation, Chinese science fiction movies have ushered in the best opportunity.

When the movie "Martian Rescue" was released, it greatly aroused the audience's viewing craze, promoted the industrialization of Chinese science fiction films in the capital, aroused the scientific enthusiasm of the whole society, and also allowed all kinds of capital to gather in this emerging field!

Not to mention anything else, at least many domestic science fiction movies have begun to be launched now, such as the movie adaptation rights of several novels auctioned by Lin Han. For example, Alibaba Pictures has already started filming "The Wife of Time Traveler". This time, two first-line actors were invited to join. Not only are they acting online, but they are both good-looking and popular.

In addition, the movie "Breaking Out of the Milky Way" adapted from Li Wenyuan's novel of the same name has also been completed. Chang'e Pictures is in full swing to conduct post-production and may be scheduled for next summer!

The original owner filmed "Storm Out of the Solar System", but now the sequel "Storm Out of the Milky Way" has paid a lot of attention.

As for the copyrights of the novels that Lin Han sold to Hollywood, let’s not mention them yet. Almost every domestic film company is hoarding good novel copyrights.

This also made some science fiction writers with relatively ordinary book sales experiences. They had no hope of taking the film and television adaptation route, but the copyright could be sold!

Even if it is only a few hundred thousand or one million, it would be great if it could be sold for money.

It is difficult for Chinese science fiction movies to overtake on the curve. In fact, in Lin Han's opinion, the view that ordinary audiences believe that Chinese movies are very different from Hollywood in the technical field is not correct!

The difference between special effects technology in China and Hollywood is not big. The gap is mainly in process specifications, experience and investment costs. After all, the funds spent on special effects are calculated in tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. Who has that much money for domestic movies?

...

Just when Lin Han was hesitant, the World Science Fiction Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlists and took the lead in warming up for himself. Many foreign media outlets reported on this shortlist.

The shortlist is generally divided into two announcements, one is a movie that was registered a long time ago, and the other is a movie that has been in the latest deadline, and the awards are all together.

"The 26th World Science Fiction Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlists, and 8 outstanding science fiction films from all over the world will compete for the Lighthouse Award!"

Authoritative media n reported the relevant list on its official website, after all, this film festival is still well recognized worldwide.

These eight works are the United States "Clouds and Fog", India "Love of Robots", Spain "Death Video", France "Mystery of the Moon", Britain "Brave on the Zombie Island", South Korea "Han River Monster" and "Never Lonely" and the disaster film "Japan Sinks".

It can be said that the types of these eight works are different, and the countries shortlisted for the movies are blooming. Only South Korea, the host, occupies two places, and even the United States has only one work shortlisted!

There are certainly reasons why Hollywood filmmakers are unwilling to spend time on film festivals, but also because Hollywood science fiction blockbusters have been sold very early and have better promotional channels.

Many of the movies here have relatively unfamiliar with the English names, and domestic media don’t know how to translate them. Anyway, no domestic science fiction movies were shortlisted, so they pretended not to see it. Only some netizens spontaneously reprinted the news and tried to translate it!

The one who is most excited about this result is obviously the Korean media. They actually defeated the European and American science fiction powerhouses and two works were shortlisted!

"The World Science Fiction Film Festival favors Korean science fiction, and the Hanjiang Monster is expected to win the Lighthouse Award!"

"The rise of science fiction films in the Republic of Korea begins today!"

"Korean science fiction films create glory, and two works in the Science Fiction Film Festival were shortlisted!"

"The director of "Never Lonely" was interviewed and said the movie will be released in December!"

"The president of the Science Fiction Association believes that Korean science fiction movies have reached the world's first-class level, far surpassing China and Japan!"

Korean media have always been quarrels with the world, and have a little bit of achievements that I want to exaggerate to become the entire universe. Now that the two movies have been shortlisted for the World Science Fiction Film Festival, it seems that they are confident.

Choi Yongjun, the president of their Science Fiction Association, said confidently in an interview with SBS TV: "Our film technology has caught up with Hollywood and is at the top level in Asia. We will represent countries in Asia to participate in this World Science Fiction Film Festival and strive to keep the highest award in South Korea."

When talking about movies in neighboring countries, Cui Yongjun said disdainfully: "Japanese science fiction movies seem to spend all their creativity on animation, and Chinese science fiction is even worse! What? How can Chinese people actually make science fiction movies? Have you heard of Chinese science fiction movies? Have you ever seen it?"

The host also cooperated and said: "I have never heard of it. I guess they don't know how to shoot science fiction movies. Asian science fiction still has to be seen by us!"

"That's it. There has never been a Chinese film in the World Science Fiction Film Festival. They are only worthy of being an audience. Maybe we can invite some Chinese directors to the Film Festival to learn Korean science fiction movies. I think I can teach them how to make movies, hahahaha."

The exaggerated expression looked very arrogant, which made many Chinese students in South Korea quite dissatisfied. If you celebrate yourself, you should celebrate yourself. Why do you have to mock our country?

So some international students sent the interview video back to Weibo. At first, not many people cared about it. After all, it was not a day or two that Korean Fangzi was arrogant and committed suicide.

But as more and more people see this video and see the Chinese subtitles translated in Korean, they are simply angry!

"These sticks are simply frogs in the well. Last year, "Martian Rescue" won several million dollars in box office on the stick, ranking tenth in the number of viewers of the year. Now, we can't shoot science fiction?"

"I'm so arrogant. When our director Zheng Shuping won the best director of the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, these guys were probably still thrifting. What did he use to teach Director Zheng to make movies? Even Liang Jingru can't give such great courage!"

"Spicy chicken, Koreans are refreshing the lower limit again. Don't think that winning two nominations is great. At best, it's just a pheasant award, and it's so high."

"We are not very capable and have a good tone. We are disdainful to participate in this award!"
