He and Lao Fang haven’t contacted each other for a long time.

Ever since Xu Xin helped him find a job with a CCTV camera crew during the Olympic Games, Fang Xiu has plunged into CCTV.

And was admitted to graduate school.

Xu Xin knows so much.

As for which department Lao Fang currently serves as a photographer for what program, he really doesn't know very well.

But Xu Xin's first reaction to his sudden call today was to refuse...

joke……

When is it?

Liu Yifei has a movie waiting for her, and "The Hawthorn Tree" next year is also waiting for her.

The most important thing is that the baby will be born soon.

He is so busy that he hits the back of his head with his feet, how can he still accept the documentary?

I'm saying...documentaries sometimes consume more time than movies.

He really doesn't have much time.

and……

Are you destined to commit Tai Sui this year?

Why do jobs come one after another inexplicably?

But after all, we are all old classmates and came from the same crew, so we shouldn’t be too hasty when we refuse.

So, after hearing Fang Xiu's words, he asked like a casual chat:

"What for? Our director Fang Da is short of an errand boy?"

"Haha~"

Fang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

This sentence melted away some of the waves of anxiety in my heart.

Then he said:

"I'm talking to you seriously, Lao Xu, are you interested?"

"...You mean you want to make a documentary with me?"

"It's not that I'm looking for you. That's it. Now there is news in the station that they plan to prepare a batch of documentaries. But unlike before, we are looking for directors from within. This time we are soliciting topic selection from the literary and art circles, external submissions, and internal submissions.

After review, if you are selected, the station will directly approve the funding and start filming."

"Well……"

When Xu Xin heard this, he showed a strange expression:

"Why did you suddenly start soliciting external topics?"

"Well, it just came up suddenly. I just wanted to ask if you are interested. After all, next year will be the year of the 21st Starlight Awards."

"...!"

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly moved:

"Should the topic be purchased this time or filmed by CCTV itself?"

"I'll shoot it myself. I'll collect a selection of topics, and once I'm selected, I'll start looking for a director. It's nominally a Taiwanese film."

"That is to say, if I submit a topic, if I am selected, I can directly run for director. Will the film be eligible for the Starlight Award?"

"right."

Fang Xiu responded:

"That's what I mean. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to submit your topic here. Don't you have a very good relationship with Xiying Studio? Xiying Studio's documentaries are also eligible, but... I'll tell you the truth.

, The one who is near the water station gets the moon first. If the TV station can choose your program, then why do you have to go to the Xiying Studio? If you go to the TV station, you will have a greater chance of winning the award."

Fang Xiu didn't need to say this, Xu Xin understood it.

One is CCTV and the other is the self-operated channel of the film studio.

As one of the top three awards in the country, the election rules for the Starlight Award are based on rules reported to the relevant departments of each province or the "Chinese Direct".

Although the awards applied for by some individual companies are not in principle unacceptable, compared to the directly affiliated units, the things these individual companies shoot are more like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Let alone them, I am afraid that even Xiying Channel is among them.

A member.

But if it is submitted internally by CCTV, not only does it have a greater chance of winning, but it also has a higher chance of being submitted.

The Starlight Award is not some pheasant award.

It is one of the three official awards alongside Huabiao and Feitian.

Does Xu Xin miss the award?

He is so lacking.

What’s the use of high box office?

You have to get a prize.

Although he says he has been delayed by the Olympics, it is true that he has not shown up for any awards, big or small.

I will be participating in the Huabiao Award in a few days.

But I didn’t go with "The Wind", but I was invited to participate in 2007's "Secret".

The Huabiao Awards are also held every two years. The release date of "The Wind" has passed the deadline for the 13th Huabiao Awards, so you can only participate in the 14th, which is the 11th year of the award.

However, although it is one of the "big three", in fact, there is basically a consensus in the industry about the Huabiao Award. That is, "Everyone shares the pork together, and you can win it when you get older."

Although this sentence is biased, the essence is indeed the same thing.

There are many awards in the Huabiao Award, with a total of about twenty. And the awarding style... is also very "warm" in a strict sense.

Basically, everything that can be taken care of has been taken care of. After all, everyone’s contribution to the Chinese film industry is obvious to all. If you didn’t get it this year, it doesn’t matter. You will definitely “get it” in the future.

That's probably what it means.

Of course, what I say is not absolute. The so-called prerequisite for getting it in the future is that there must be sufficiently excellent works.

But this "excellent" thing... depends on how others understand it.

In short, it is true that the Huabiao Award is one of the three major awards, but for filmmakers, it is the most friendly award.

This is also the main reason why others say it divides pork.

When pigs are slaughtered in the village, regardless of whether they have heads, knuckles, or pigs in the water, you can always get something.

At the Huabiao Awards ceremony, you can always see a group of people coming up to the stage, holding up certificates representing different works, and then coming down with a roar...

It's like taking a quick look at the flowers.

You can even see some very strange names in this award.

For example, the "Outstanding Scientific and Educational Film Award" will occasionally burst out some films such as "Prevention and Control of Coal Mine Gas Explosion Accidents", "Blueberry Cultivation Technology and Processing", "Rural Fire Prevention Knowledge"...

It's really warm, but the problem is... the ingredients are too complicated.

Everyone feels warm. But this brand effect... is a bit like going from Armani to Baleno.

And he actually has a very clear plan for his path.

The first thing to do is to like and be interested in what you photograph.

The second thing is that awards and honors are more important than box office.

It’s the same old saying.

He has no shortage of money.

What is missing is the honor to support myself in moving forward.

Although this sounds very utilitarian at first glance.

But that's the reality.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So if Lao Fang wants to ask him to help control the rhythm of a documentary crew, and if time is short and a friend can help, he may agree.

But if it was just a documentary, he might have refused.

Really overwhelmed.

But once this matter was linked to the Starlight Award, everything seemed to be different again.

He would get the Huabiao "sooner or later".

"Flying" is a TV drama award, let's not mention it for now.

This Starlight Award... most people really can't get it.

Now that there is an opportunity, he must seize it.
To be continued...
