Just when the Hong Kong audience was fanatical about gambling, Zhang Yimou, the director of Red Sorghum, who won the highest gold bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival in West Germany, starred Gong Li, Jiang Wen and others returned from West Germany.

Various domestic media are reporting the news that Red Sorghum won the award, and the domestic release of the film is also in full swing.

No way, who let Red Sorghum win the Grand Award, not only won the Golden Bear Award, but also won the International Alliance Art Film Award, the "City Daily" Readers' Jury Award, the New Film Forum Award, although the latter three are far inferior to the Golden Bear Award, but they are also the awards of the Berlin Film Festival, and the Jury Award and the New Film Forum Award represent the recognition of Red Sorghum by the local media in Berlin, which can not only be unanimously approved by the judges to win the Golden Bear Award, but also unanimously recognized by the media, which is not easy.

Zhang Yimou, who won the award, and Gong Li and his entourage were warmly received by relevant departments and filmmakers after returning to China, and an interview was arranged immediately after the pick-up.

The sensational effect of "Red Sorghum" at the West Berlin International Film Festival marks a milestone for this film festival to become the first time that Chinese mainland films have stepped into the forefront of world cinema.

Moreover, Red Sorghum defeated the original promising Soviet film "Female Political Commissar" and heavyweight films from the United States, East Germany and other countries, won the unanimous support of 11 judges, and won the "Golden Bear Award" in one fell swoop.

In Berlin, the premiere of "Red Sorghum" stunned the festival's audience, and the applause proved that the audience was more enthusiastic than that of Soviet films, and it was the first time that there were two long applause at the festival. The next day, the Morning Post, one of West Berlin's leading daily newspapers, described the festival as follows: "The audience looked at the screen in amazement and fascination, not only struck by the strong visual language, but also bewildered by the rough colors of an exotic style and feelings." Inside and outside the film festival, there was a lot of praise for "Red Sorghum", which made everyone feel admiration for the Chinese director. ”

So much so that there was a phenomenon that "when the competition is coming to an end, people don't even want to watch the last few films, and they are looking forward to the award ceremony." After the voting of the film festival on February 23, the chairman of the jury announced in a loud voice: "The Chinese film "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award", and the venue once again erupted in long applause, and the warm atmosphere at the film festival reached the extreme.

The award of red sorghum is a filmmaker for China, which urgently needs to gain international recognition during this period, and a big victory at the level of cultural propaganda must be well publicized and reported.

In an interview, Zhang Yimou said: "Red Sorghum" is a mythical legend. The whole film celebrates humanity and vigorous vitality in a mysterious color. Therefore, the praise of life is the theme of this film. It is to praise life through the shaping of the personality of the characters, the inexhaustible vitality of life, and the freedom and stretch of life. ”

But apparently the general public doesn't understand the meaning of these topics.

On the day Gong Li and the others came back, Qiao Feng took a plane from Qingdao to Beiping to pick up the airport, but there were too many people to pick up the airport, and it was so multimedia, Qiao Feng didn't squeeze forward, and it was not easy to squeeze forward, so he could only wait for their group to accept the interview before he and the sullen Gong Li got up.

Qiao Feng agreed to pick up the plane on the phone, but after getting off the plane, Gong Li didn't see Qiao Feng's figure, and thought that Qiao Feng didn't come, and secretly felt that he was not taken seriously, and he was very related to him.

After that, the two of them fulfilled their wishes in the hotel, she wanted to sleep with him, and he wanted to sleep with her.

The next day, the two did not rush back to Shandong, Gong Li participated in two interviews, after which Qiao Feng played with her in Beiping, and watched red sorghum in a movie theater near Dongdan in the evening.

This is also a domestic characteristic, that is, although the system sometimes seems rigid, many times it can easily achieve goals that other countries cannot achieve.

is like the release of Red Sorghum, if it is placed in the United States and other countries, then you have to wait for the release of the film, and you will be at the time when the theater arranges you, even if you win a big award, it is impossible to squeeze out other movies and let you go first.

However, there is no problem in China, if you win an award there, you can arrange a screening right away, although it can't be screened all over the country, but big cities can still get a certain copy of the screening as soon as possible.

Gong Li is the starring actor, naturally she has already watched the finished film, and she didn't watch it less when she was in Berlin, she entered the cinema mainly to stay with Qiao Feng, after all, she has to care about other people's eyes outside, and it is not open at this time, the two of them will attract the attention of others if they get too close, but when you enter the cinema, you can do whatever you want, pull and pull, hug and hug, as long as it is not too high-profile to attract attention, it is no problem.

Qiao Feng mainly wants to feel the atmosphere of the mainland cinema at this time and listen to what the mainland audience thinks of red sorghum at this time.

Then, when the movie was put on the scene of the sorghum field, the whole movie theater was inhaling and exclaiming excitedly.

No matter what Zhang Yimou wants to express in the movie, ordinary audiences don't care, what they care about is very vulgar, such as this sorghum field and wild combination.

Listening to those inhaling and excited calls, Qiao Feng felt that for people who were still very innocent at this time, perhaps this scene in the sorghum field would be the initial sexual enlightenment for many young men and women.

When it comes to love, Westerners say, "Give me a bed." The Chinese, on the other hand, say, "Distance produces beauty." Chinese have always been "shy roses quietly open", ashamed to say love, not to mention sex. In the 17 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has held an attitude of rejection of the sense of love in literary and artistic creation. Therefore, we cannot see the love between Wu Qionghua and Hong Changqing in "The Red Detachment of Women"; "Youth in the War" was supposed to have love, but it was squeezed out alive; and "Early Spring February" was severely criticized because of its petty bourgeois sentiment. Later generations looked at the movie characters at this time, whether it was Lin Daojing, Wang Cheng, or Li Xiangyang, Li Xia, although they were all iron-clad heroes, but due to the lack of emotional description, they were too detached from reality and their images were dry, so they could only be romantic heroes. In these 17 years, Chinese romance films have been almost blank.

After the reform and opening up, the Chinese's sense of love finally began to awaken, but it still went through a very long process. Romance films have gradually become popular, such as "Lushan Love", a movie that has influenced a generation, has a very pure and beautiful love story, this kind of love is not contaminated, so it still looks like a unique "new era love" in the 80s. By 1988, this scene in "Red Sorghum" allowed the Chinese to complete an epoch-making sexual enlightenment.
