Starting from the 20th, after the Silk Road Film Festival entered the final review stage, Xu Xin basically cut off all other trivial matters.

There were 13 films, and three rounds were reviewed.

The first round is to review the reviews themselves, and the second round is to communicate with a few conflicting movies.

Then the third round, on the 28th, everyone watched a total of five videos.

That is the five most intensely discussed.

The awards on Silk Road this year are still unchanged, including the jury awards, which are still "Best Director, Actor, Screenwriter, Jury Awards, and Best Picture".

The same is true for the Silk Road Unit.

The Silk Road Film Festival did not take the initiative to change the awards, and planned to create the value of these awards first, and then slowly make it happen.

Although some viewers complained about the few awards last year, they felt that other excellent movies were obviously qualified to win awards, but they did not score enough because of the few awards... But this is what everyone wants.

Scarcity is precious.

Don’t have such complicated awards. First, increase the value of each trophy and confirm the authority. At that time, consider extending outward and adding several other awards, such as soundtracks, art guidance, etc.

At first glance, this plan is no different from other pork-selected awards, but in fact, it is essentially clear from the beginning.

The most important thing about a film festival is its popularity, which is the convergence and recognition of people. In other words, it is more like a big market, but some film festivals make gold in shit, while others make real gold and not afraid of fire.

Adding awards is an inevitable result. Looking at the three major European countries, this is actually the path.

At the beginning, everyone pursued professionalism.

But later it was discovered that not only the demands of audiences were increasing, but also the demands of filmmakers were increasing.

Some movies come not to win awards, but they just want to take advantage of the popularity of the film festival so that everyone knows that "our film has entered Cannes/Venice/Berlin", which is worth watching.

But the height of the movie itself has not reached its peak...or rather, it is normal to not reach the ceiling.

With these demands, the three major film festivals opened up such links as midnight screenings and surprise previews, allowing more people to see these works.

This is the demand of filmmakers.

The audience's needs are also seeing colorful works throughout the film festival.

Both sides can achieve it overnight.

This is also the reason why such as the "Humanitarian Award" and the "Contribution Award" were born.

Demand determines the market.

In this case, it is inevitable to open some peripheral awards.

The same is true in the Silk Road Film Festival plan. First, create value, and then provide a broader platform for everyone to display their works and accept more audiences.

The purpose of doing this is to build a trading market belonging to the "Silk Road Film Festival".

Let more good scripts and good stories attract more investors and bring more and better movies to the audience.

It can be said that all preparations are actually in the end to serve the "transaction volume" of the venture capital association.

Now, this year's Silk Road Film Festival has come up with new measures.

After the list of movies for 13 main competition units and 10 Silk Road units was announced, with the experience of the first film festival, the cinemas above the scale of the 8th hall in XA City have been connected to the venue system of the "Silk Road Film Festival".

At least 2 to 3 screening rooms are provided to play the screening of the film festival.

The same supporting feature is that in addition to these 23 movies, there are 27 remaining films, which are included in the shortlist of the film festival's release in the form of "screening units".

These 27 movies, two jury members, were completely selected by the public judges. They hope that the audience can see them and feel that they are very suitable for their taste.

And in these 27 films, if you look for the artistic quality, you may be blinded.

but……

A movie that has been cross-reviewed and selected by hundreds of people must be a relatively complete and good story.

This is beyond doubt.

...

On the 28th, after watching five movies, if they follow the pace of last year, voting will start that day.

But Mr. Xie stopped voting.

Wave directly and tell everyone: Disband.

Go back and calm down.

Have a nap.

After clearing your mind and being able to keep your neutral and calm thinking, let’s vote again on the 29th.

This is great to Xu Xin's opinion.

Because it is inevitable that you start voting after watching a certain movie, and you will subconsciously ignore the excellent aspects of other movies and have some impulses.

And at 10 am on the 29th.

Nine judges gathered in the screening room again.

There were staff members present to vote, but the old man waved his hand and drove them out.

Just like when everyone had their first meal.

This is a party belonging to the jury, so outsiders should not be present to interfere.

After the staff were driven away, Xie Fei waved:

"Xiao Xu, you will sing the vote later. The results of the selection will be sealed directly, and everyone will keep it confidential and cannot be told to their family members."

After Xu Xin nodded to show that he understood, the old man said directly without any delay:

"Let's get started."

Sitting on his chair, he said:

"Best Screenwriter Award, please vote on the award-winning works that you deserve!"

After a moment, nine notes were piled up in one place.

Xie Fei did not ask Xu Xin to vote, but continued:

"The next one is the best actor."

...

"Best Actress."

...

"Best Director."

...

“Best video.”

After choosing all five awards, Xu Xin walked to the blackboard.

The staff had already written the names of 13 movies, and he only needed to write "positive" under the movie corresponding to the votes.

"So, now start the best screenwriter's votes."

As he said that, he picked up the first note, opened it and took a look, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched.

"The first vote, abstention."

“…”

“…”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

Everyone was stunned.

Xie Fei asked:

"You wrote your own ticket?"

Xu Xin laughed dryly:

"Yeah, yes."

He did not explain the reason, but judging from his attitude towards "The Scarlet Sun" at the beginning, when Xu Xin wrote the words "Abstaining", it means... he voted for "The Scarlet Sun" in his heart for this award.

But in order to avoid suspicion, he would rather not win the award than make people feel that the Silk Road Film Festival, a child hatched together, had stains on it.

And by chance...

When the result of "Best Screenwriter" was settled and the best actress was selected, the second abstention appeared.

After singing the "abstention" vote, Xu Xin subconsciously looked around.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on Xie Fei.

The old man smiled.

Now, Xu Xin understood who he chose.
To be continued...
