Chapter 167 Short Film Shortlisted
"I listened to the songs of rock poet Li Qin. I am also her fan." Wang Lan believes that she is still very up-to-date in her hobbies.
The two chatted for a while.
Almost everyone is here.
Most of the people present didn’t really take the film screening seriously. It was just a short film by a freshman, and they had seen too many of them.
It’s better to take this opportunity to chat more with old friends you haven’t seen for a long time.
So, when the short film was over, some people were still in shock.
Some people were sweating.
Some people are still recalling the scene where Li Rong chopped Lao Fang with a kitchen knife.
Some people applauded.
Wang Lan was the first to stand up and applaud.
Many people stood up and applauded.
Gao You looked at the scene and felt a little jealous.
Luxue and Lushuang hugged each other.
Yu Lishu was glad that her performance did not drag down the film.
Zhu Xiaoya looked at Gao You with bright eyes.
Liao Hanyu also looked at her restrainedly.
They didn't expect that the finished product would be so shocking.
"The young are to be feared!" Wang Lan gave Gao You four words.
The film does not show Li Rong's misery too much. Instead, it shows her numb and empty expression when she killed Lao Fang. This scene is full of despair and determination.
She killed not only Lao Fang, but also the man who assaulted her daughter and herself.
Some people have different voices.
“Isn’t it a bit too bloody and violent?”
"Didn't he get punished by law in the end? It's not bad."
"That's just a line of subtitles at the end."
"The budget is not enough, right? How about you, Old Zhou, sponsor some money so they can film the scenes of being in prison?" Wang Lan joked with the leader.
"Hehe, this is good, very good, and it serves as a warning." Leader Zhou passed it over vaguely.
"Now that the crackdown is over, it feels like some places are beginning to stir again," a leader lamented.
“It does get reported in the news quite often.”
"This film is still very meaningful. Should we send it to Sarolin for a look?"
"Is it too late?" someone asked.
"There's still time." Director Cen was just about to take Wang Qiyun's film with him, but he didn't expect to have such a surprise before leaving.
"Can we go to Salolin now?" After returning, Zhu Xiaoya still felt a little unreal.
Sarolin, one of the three major international film festivals!
Before today, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"Just participating in a competition." Gao You thought it was okay.
It’s still uncertain whether I can be shortlisted.
For Gao You, a short film is not enough to participate in an award, but it is also good to be able to start paving this path now and become familiar to the public.
On the weekend, Gao You and Li Xiyan met at the glass factory.
The "Shumeng" sanitary napkins produced by Li Xiyan's "Shumeng" sanitary napkin factory have been distributed and sold nationwide.
Li Xiyan wanted to shoot an advertisement and planned to release it around the 1991 Spring Festival Gala.
What Li Xiyan, Mo Huan and Gao You said while joking together at the beginning also came true.
Mo Huan wrote the script and Gao You was in charge of filming.
The sanitary napkins that Gao You is using now are produced by Shu Meng.
She also drew several styles of sanitary napkins for Li Xiyan.
Nowadays, sanitary napkins in China are still straight.
Based on the various types of sanitary napkins in later generations, Gao You drew wing-protective, daily-use, night-use, and mini versions.
Li Xiyan’s design team has adopted the wing-protector model currently developed, which is the most popular in the market.
Previously, domestic products and foreign brands each shared the market share in half.
Now "Shumeng" suddenly appeared with new products and directly occupied one-third of the market share.
"Shumeng" sanitary napkins use the most advanced production lines, high-quality raw materials, unique and convenient designs, and affordable prices, and have quickly gained the favor of a large number of female consumers.
Li Xiyan also gave Gao You a dividend of 1% of the factory's profits.
Gao You plans to use this dividend to set up a charity organization with Li Xiyan to care for the menstrual hygiene of women in remote mountainous areas.
Li Xiyan has already discussed this matter with some female entrepreneurs with whom she has a good relationship.
Gao You talked with Li Xiyan for a day and finalized the shooting plan. Then he went to Qingying Studio to rent equipment and borrow people to form an advertising shooting team.
The ad was shot in her Goofy Imaging studio.
Several sisters were invited to shoot the advertisement.
The advertisement is about a group of women playing a game. One of them holds up a riddle with the words "Shumeng Sanitary Napkin" written on it and asks the others to describe it and the person holding the sign to guess.
The sisters began to describe it one after another, calling it "doing good deeds", "a big girl riding a horse", "that", "menstrual aunt", "the unclean one", "the one that comes to be used", etc.
The person guessing the riddle tried several times but failed to guess it correctly. Finally, he took down the sign and saw that it was a sanitary napkin for menstruation.
"Isn't it just menstruation? Why don't people just say it directly? Otherwise, I would have guessed it long ago. I'm using Shumeng sanitary napkins."
The advertisement ends here.
After the film came out, everyone present was a little silent.
There were quite a lot of female staff present, but in this era, talking about menstruation directly seems to be a shame.
They are all referred to by various words, but there are few examples of fake menstrual periods, and they are mostly used to refer to "menstruation" and "period".
Few of them would think deeply about this question: Can the word "menstruation" be said directly?
"Will this advertisement cause controversy?" a gay asked a little worriedly.
"It's a good thing to have controversy. If someone can bring this up for discussion again and again, then this advertisement will be a success." Li Xiyan made the decision.
After filming the commercial, the school notified us that Gao You and Wang Qiyun’s short films were both shortlisted for the short film competition unit of the Sarolin Film Festival.
This caused a sensation in the school. This year, there was only one Chinese-language feature film shortlisted from the mainland, and it was directed by a Hong Kong director.
I didn’t expect that two short films would be shortlisted for the short film competition unit. It was a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, both films were produced by freshman students. Regardless of whether they won awards in the end, the school leaders were very happy. The students were also envious and jealous, thinking that the junior students were really amazing.
Gao You is busy applying for a passport.
She originally wanted to go with the people in the dormitory, but Zhu Xiaoya said it was not convenient for her, and Liao Hanyu said she would not go either.
"Just help us get the award back." Zhu Xiaoya said with a smile.
The main thing is that travel expenses and accommodation are all at your own expense, which not everyone can afford.
Especially for Liao Hanyu, who comes from an ordinary family.
Finally, Gao You and the twins Yu Lishu went to apply for passports.
Wang Qiyun also came over and congratulated Gao You, hoping that the two would meet on the podium.
Teacher Mo also contacted several actors from Zhao Qing, but unfortunately, the three of them are currently on the crew and cannot go.
But everyone is still very happy that such a student work can be on the international stage.
There is still more than a month before the film festival opens, and that day happens to be the Spring Festival.
After Gao You and the others were excited, they still had to attend classes and prepare for the final exam.
Gao You, who missed a lot of classes, not only had to finish his manuscripts every morning, but also had to concentrate on preparing for the exams.
On Sunday, Gao You spent the entire day in his rented house working on the manuscript, hoping to save up more money for the magazine before going abroad.
Tired of writing, she walked around the yard and saw Gao Shuang and Grandma Ding looking at some embroidery works.
"Is this Suzhou embroidery?" Gao You went over and looked at the exquisite embroidery works.
"Yes, these were all embroidered by Grandma Ding's daughter and granddaughter." Gao Shuang was also amazed.
