It also has a very strict screening process for the participating works. Unlike the French Film Festival's method of electing a jury, which puts the qualification of film nominations in the hands of a few people, the qualification of nominations in the world's 100-year film art history is in the hands of the majority.
The early selections of films in the history of film art were based mainly on the intentions of the members.
It is the most influential of all the authoritative film festivals in the world, with a more complete election system, and is recognized by film professionals all over the world as the most complete organization.
The World Centennial Film Art History has a huge membership organization. The membership system is mainly based on volunteer applications, and it includes all the world's well-known figures in film.
Either they are movie lovers or they work in the industry. There are very strict requirements on the life, quality, knowledge and conversation of volunteers. After joining, they become members of the film history. Every nominated film will be given priority in the dressing selection activities by members.
Currently, according to the data of the world's 100-year film art history, there are nearly 50,000 members. Each member has his or her own unique identity and is an elite in the industry.
Only after a rigorous selection process and the eligibility to participate in the competition will the films be officially shown at the Sacred Theater of America. Invited members will watch the films one after another and vote anonymously.
The voting results are monitored throughout the process and broadcast live on its official website, so that everyone interested in the voting process can clearly monitor the voting results.
Fifteen days later, the votes will be counted to decide the final shortlisted films, which will then be followed by another round of voting by film authorities composed of core members, and combined with the members' votes, the winners of each major award will be finally selected.
It can be said that the history of film art has had a great influence on the film industry since its inception ninety-six years ago. The award ceremony held every three years is star-studded, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national film carnival.
On the last day of the award ceremony, this grand event will be broadcast live on television in more than 150 countries around the world. The impact is so great that it is hard to describe.
For people in the film industry, the century-long history of world film art is equivalent to a palace-level festival. If a work is finally selected and entered into the database, it will be forever engraved in the classics and admired by future generations.
If "God's Redemption" can make it into the final nomination, the film will naturally have no worries about its fame, but the question is whether "God's Redemption" can make it into the final nomination.
There is no doubt that "The Redemption of God" directed by Cesare is undoubtedly excellent.
But such a film festival is held once every three years, and there are too many people for the few. World-renowned master directors have long been eyeing this event, and the film competition scene every three years is filled with swords and sabers.
The works that appear here are all brilliant, but being able to be squeezed into theaters for screening in the early stages is not a big deal. What is truly influential is the live broadcast on the day of the awards ceremony.
Cesare is a talented director. Almost every movie he directed has good box office and reputation. He has a large number of loyal fans, and many film critics have given good reviews to his movies.
But each of his films is good, which results in him not having a representative work that is particularly worth mentioning, which makes him always one step away from being a hall-of-fame director.
If "Divine Redemption" cannot make it to the final nomination, all of Cesare's ideas will be in vain, and it will also disrupt the initial preview activities of the investors. After the delay, the film scheduled by the investors to be released in North America on December 26th, and the rhythm of the global simultaneous release three days later will be disrupted.
What's important is not only that the final box office result is difficult to predict. If Cesare is not nominated, it will be a big blow to his prestige. "Redemption of the Divine" has not yet been released, and it is very likely to result in public ridicule.
In addition, the film made an exception by using a Chinese actress as the female lead, which will cause resistance from some radical people. Once the reputation collapses, the box office will naturally suffer a Waterloo.
Compared to Cesare's passion, the investors were relatively conservative, and they also had a dispute over the way the film should be released.
Cesare was extremely persistent in his own opinions. When he was making a film, he had a contract with the investors. Because he directed the "Lost City" trilogy, he had a lot of say in "Salvation".
In addition, he had been directing the film for many years, had a strong network of contacts, and had good relationships with the senior shareholders of Borgia and Roundabout. Finally, he reached an agreement with the senior management to give up the preview of "The Divine Redemption" and sign up to compete in the World Centennial Film Art Competition.
Once a film is confirmed to participate in such a campaign, the funds for subsequent publicity and distribution can no longer be saved. Borgia and Roundabout Company invested heavily and started releasing the promotional video of "God's Redemption" in mid-October to increase its influence.
You know, as long as the quality of "Divine Redemption" is not wrong, with Cesare's directing ability, there will be absolutely no problem for it to be qualified for broadcast at the Sacred Theater. The difficulty lies in whether it can be shortlisted.
In the early days, film screenings were mainly for members.
The members of the century-long film art history are the leaders in their respective industries. The more publicity funds are invested in the early shortlisted films and the more famous they are, the easier it is to attract people's attention.
Once more people watch it, the chance of getting votes will greatly increase.
As long as there are enough votes and it can eventually make it into the film nominations, the goal of the two major consortiums will be achieved. On the day of global broadcast, even if the title of "God's Redemption" is only released for a few seconds, it will be conveyed to TV viewers in every household around the world. After being certified by the members of the Film Art History Association, there is no need to worry about the box office.
After learning that "God's Redemption" had registered for the World's Centennial Film Art History, Xia Chaoqun had already prepared a trip to the United States for Jiang Se.
Regardless of whether the film will eventually be nominated, the dress should be prepared in advance.
"If she can be nominated, Sese can walk on the red carpet, which will be enough to become a classic scene." With this walk, it will be difficult for China to produce a star who can shake Jiang Se's position for at least the next twenty years.
If "God's Redemption" could really be shortlisted, Jiang Se's international fame would far surpass Tao Cen's.
The grand ceremony of the centenary of film art history will not be held until December, but Mo Anqi has already started to get excited. The stylists and makeup artists in the team are discussing the makeup for promoting the new movie abroad.
Chapter 2
Xia Chaoqun was also busy, and Jiang Se attended the promotional event for "God's Redemption" in a dress. As early as the beginning of the year, major fashion brands had already extended olive branches to Jiang Se.
The jewelry sponsored by Hong Kong China was also made and escorted to the capital by a special person.
Each set of jewelry must be matched in advance with daily clothes and dresses, and adjusted repeatedly. Jiang Se will go abroad in November and will not return to China to attend the domestic premiere until the end of the film festival. After "God's Redemption" is released in North America,
Mo Anqi was typing out her itinerary, which was densely packed with records of her activities abroad, which meant that her leisurely time in the past few days was over.
"Look, Se Se." Mo Anqi wished she had two more hands. While doing her work, she also chatted with Jiang Se distractedly: "This is the dress that Sister Xia ordered for you from Melovin." She flipped open a picture and showed it to Jiang Se, "This time "God's Redemption" was nominated. When you walk the carpet in this dress, Sister Xia said that you can not only get Melovin's skin care products, but also get the image spokesperson for their high-end fashion. It won't be a problem."
Melovin's fashions are mainly elegant and light. The several dresses customized for her by Xia Chaoqun are all very fairy-like. Each dress is designed for Jiang Se's temperament and figure, and the style is unique. If she really has the opportunity to walk on the red carpet in front of the Sacred Grand Theater, she will definitely attract much attention.
At this time, Tao Cen was still in France. Song Yi had almost negotiated for her to be the spokesperson for Carolus shampoo. It was just evening when she received a call from Zhou Sheng in the capital.
She had a dinner appointment with one of Carolus's senior executives and was going to watch a show after dinner. Song Yi answered the phone and winked at her.
Tao Cen first gave his dining companions an apologetic smile, picked up the napkin to wipe his lips, and when he came out, his smile faded.
Carolus had fought hard to get the advertising endorsement opportunity, so she could not allow for even the slightest mistake.
If it wasn't something important, Song Yi shouldn't have disturbed her at this time. He should have handled it himself.
Song Yi obviously knew her character well. He handed her the phone and whispered, "Mr. Zhou called and said it's important news and he must tell you in person." He was also a little helpless. He knew how important this meal was to Tao Cen. If possible, he didn't want to disturb her mood of having dinner with the top executives of Carolus. But Mr. Zhou insisted on telling Tao Cen in person and said the situation was urgent, so he was helpless.
"I'm Tao Cen." When Tao Cen heard that Zhou Sheng was calling, his heart sank and he had a bad feeling.
Zhou Sheng was her confidant in Century Galaxy. The things he called her to tell her personally at this time were most likely related to Jiang Se.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Sheng said, "Sister Tao, God's Redemption is going to participate in the Centennial Art History Campaign."
This news was like a blow to the head, and Tao Cen was immediately stunned.
She had guessed that "God's Redemption" was scheduled to be released in North America in December and in China on January 1, and that this big-budget movie would definitely have a big publicity campaign.
But Tao Zen did not expect that Cesare would take "The Divine Redemption" to participate in the selection event of the 100-year film art history.
To people in China, Cesare belongs to the upper level of the pyramid among directors, but honestly speaking, from his previous works, his films are far from reaching the level of legendary directors, whose works have the effect of touching people's hearts, becoming classics and lasting.
He took "God's Redemption" to participate in the "Centennial Filmmakers" event. It was not difficult to get it screened in the Sacred Theater, but it was a bit difficult to stand out among a group of outstanding works and be shortlisted for nominations.
What's more, there is a Chinese face in "God's Redemption". Most of the members in the early stage of "Century Filmmakers" were European and American elites, and they had a certain instinctive aversion to oriental actresses.
By doing this, isn't Cesare afraid that he won't be nominated after the film is released, thus bringing humiliation upon himself
Or is it because he is very optimistic about Jiang Se's acting skills and has great confidence in her, so he took "God's Redemption" to participate in the selection
Regardless of whether "God's Redemption" is nominated for the "Filmmaker of the Century", Jiang Se's name will become popular along with the name of "Cesare Girl". Just having participated in the "Filmmaker of the Century" selection is a hundred benefits and no harm to her.
She has gained all the benefits. If this matter spreads in China, Jiang Se's status and fame will rise to a crazy height.
Xia Chaoqun, Jiang Se, and Tao Cen were all clear about this.
She was holding the phone at the moment, full of questions but unable to utter a word. She heard Zhou Sheng whispering about this matter, saying that the higher-ups in the company had already received the news, and Luo Yin had personally convened a meeting and tentatively decided that in the next few years, the company's resources would give priority to Jiang Se.
As Tao Cen's brother, Zhou Sheng became worried after hearing the news.
After Jiang Se gained the advantage, the "confidants" who were partial to Tao Cen would naturally be affected. Century Galaxy was a behemoth in China with the title of "No. 1 brokerage company", and the internal competition was also fierce.
If Tao Cen's side suffers a defeat, the people who follow her will also prosper and suffer together.
The more successful she is, the more say Zhou Sheng and others will have in Century Galaxy. The higher their status, the more information and resources they can obtain first, which is also beneficial to Tao Cen's development.
This was the competition model that Luo Yin tacitly approved, but now he wanted to break it with his own hands.
"Sister Tao, you have to think of a solution quickly." As Jiang Se came to the fore and became close to Xia Chaoqun's faction, more and more shareholders supported Jiang Se, and those who sided with Tao Cen had a hard time.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After revealing the news, Tao Cen took a long time to regain his ability to speak and took a deep breath:
"How could Cesare make such a decision?"
After the filming of "Criminal Suspect" was completed, she went abroad to seek the endorsement of Carolus shampoo. She also met with the top executives of Huandao Company and asked about the movie "God's Redemption" during the conversation. She learned that the top executives of the investment company were still a little worried about the future of the movie.
In order to ensure the box office, after half a year of discussion, they should consider promoting the film slowly through previews.
This situation was exactly the same ending that Tao Cen had imagined at the beginning. Why did things turn out like this in just a few months
"It is unlikely that Borgia or the Roundabout Company would agree to do this."
She was still a little bit unbelieving, Zhou Sheng was a little helpless and emphasized:
"It's true, Sister Tao." (To be continued)
