"Is the title introduction so short? ”

"It seems to be good to watch the trailer, it seems to be a light comedy romance. ”

"No—this life is beautiful anyway. I always have an ominous premonition, and if it's a comedy, this introduction is a bit tragic. ”

"Could it be that the male protagonist was greened, and then the male protagonist found the female protagonist's current boyfriend and made the female protagonist green?"

"Damn, where did the ghost talent come from upstairs, and in just a few words, he told the love-hate entanglement of the three people. ”

"With a writer, with a writer, I still feel that the title of the film Beautiful Life is a bit weird, because what is called beautiful, the movie is not beautiful. ”

......

The sight came to a private café, there are several people in the museum, they are all "Deadly Generation", Xiao Bang is the photographer of Fatal ID, currently working as a teaching assistant in Beiying, Xiao Feng is the assistant director, and Wang Xiao is the actor who plays the shop owner.

are all paying attention to Chu Shun's news.

"When will I have the appeal of Director Chu. Xiao Feng looked at the trailer of "Beautiful Life" and said with envy: "Just a pre-sale can be a hot topic." ”

Xiao Bang swiped #Beautiful Life, Tragedy or Comedy# on Weibo, I don't know what I'm thinking, he feels that Beautiful Life is definitely not a comedy.

"Director Chu's realm is simply jumping between literary films and commercial films repeatedly, and he can also jump out of the height of the world record. Wang Xiao said: "My goal now is to cooperate with Director Chu again." ”

"Didn't you say before that your goal was to cooperate with director Jin Yaohua?" asked Xiao Feng.

Jin Yaohua is the director who filmed "Angry City" and "One Meal", and the meal was the Golden Goblet Award handpicked by Chu Shun when he was the chairman of the jury of the Magic City Film Festival a few years ago.

is a more powerful literary film director in the new generation in China, of course, this "freshman" is also in his forties, which cannot be compared with Chu Shun's age.

"Starring in the film directed by Jin Yaohua is also my goal, and then Director Chu is the big goal. Wang Xiao himself rounded the words back.

"I suggest you dream directly. Xiao Feng said.

"The biggest difference between people and the artificial intelligence that is now hot is that people can dream. Wang Xiao said: "So it's not a bad thing to dream more, and it doesn't cost money anyway." ”

Speaking of dreaming, Xiao Feng actually has big dreams in his small head, and he hopes to learn the skills of following movies one day.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Feng then asked, "Why hasn't Mingjie arrived yet?" ”

"It could be a bit of a traffic jam. Xiao Bang looked up and said.

As a deadly generation, entering the entertainment industry is also a group to keep warm, so they will get together every once in a while.

With such attention, Chu Shun's first comedy "Beautiful Life" exceeded 200 million at the domestic pre-sale box office.

A week later, the pre-sale box office was 280 million.

Box office data survey, that is, Qian He, the person in charge of Maoyan, couldn't help murmuring: "Chu Shun's box office bonus is too big, no wonder there is a saying in the circle [Chu Shun's name is hanged, the box office is 200 million plus], and the pre-sale directly recovers the cost." ”

In addition to being the person in charge of Maoyan, Qian He is also a film scholar who has a column in "World Cinema" and has published many articles.

A scholar used to refer to "a person who has knowledge and pursues knowledge", but now it is more of a person who has no talent but wants to stay in a certain line of work.

[On the difference between the correct accumulation of directors and Chu Shun's efficiency], Qian He was writing a paper in this area in front of him, and as the person in charge of Maoyan, he could easily query a lot of data.

For example, since Chu Shun's "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", all literary films are pre-sold and recouped, which is simply the dream of all literary film directors.

Therefore, many scholars have proposed that the frequency of Chu Shun's filming of movies is the most ideal state, and they have also come up with a theory, "As long as the director keeps shooting a good movie every year, the box office appeal will gradually lead."

Doesn't it feel like this theory, is correct nonsense, who can guarantee that a good movie can be made every year. I feel like the commentary doll with LOL said, "Have you noticed that the lead is endless, and the damage will be particularly high."

In fact, when the doll said this, what she wanted to express was that the hentai was strengthened, and the shooter on the lower road was on the line, and whoever took out the hentai first, the other way would not be able to match the line at all.

The core of the argument is that it takes three or four years to temper a film, which is not beneficial to the accumulation of the director's fame and box office appeal.

What Qian He wants to discuss is that Chu Shun is not first-class or top-notch in terms of box office appeal, and that thing is called a unique file and does not have any reference.

"I haven't found out without checking the information that all of Chu Shun's movies are the largest investment in himself, including "Titanic", which is the first investment in film history. Qian He sighed, too confident.

Qian He didn't think that Chu Shun couldn't attract investment at all, to put it mildly, even in China, as long as Chu Shun took the time to pull investment, there were definitely not a few people who were willing to gamble with him.

I forgot to add one thing, Robert was going home to cut the documentary, but later remembered that there was no post-production of "Life is Beautiful".

When he was ready to come over, Chu Shun's soundtrack editing was done.

After Chu Shun learned about this, he also had an indifferent attitude, anyway, he might have to shoot "With the Movie 2", and then the second documentary would be mainly post-production.

In mid-February, the Berlinale announced its nominees on its website.

Two Huaxia films entered the main competition unit, and ten Huaxia films were shortlisted in the panorama unit, the new generation unit, the forum unit and the non-competition unit.

At the Berlin Film Festival, the output of Chinese films has always been continuous and stable.

As mentioned earlier, when the list is announced, you will not be nominated for Best Director, or as an actor, and these will only be said at the awards ceremony, and only the shortlist will be displayed on the list.

To add, the official website of the Berlinale does not need to go over the wall to land in China, but there is no Chinese version, only German and English versions.

Chu Shun calmly informed the actors to arrive on time, and in the past, he was always notified by Brother Blowing, but this time he was in good spirits and notified the main creators himself.

After hanging up Lhea's phone, he dialed Kadi's phone and explained the time of the opening ceremony, just as he was about to hang up the phone-

Cady asked hesitantly: "Director Chu Shun, do you think I have a chance to win the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival?"

"If I were the president of the jury, I would definitely vote for you. Chu Shun said.

Yu Qing This is a film he filmed, and there is a problem with not casting his own brain, Yu Li Cardi is indeed the best performance of his career as an actor under his pressure.

Anyway, after Cardi finished filming the role of Guido, the character and protagonist notebooks were filled with two copies, and Chu Shun also invited several Italian old people in their nineties.

These old people were ignorant children during World War II, but they have memories of the war, which shows that war can be forever imprinted in people's hearts.

Anyway, after some hype, Chu Shun achieved the effect he wanted, not to mention that it was better than the original, and it would definitely not be worse than the original anyway.

The above methods used by Chu Shun on the actors were all faithfully filmed by Robert.

"Director, if you say that, I'm relieved. On the other end of the phone, Cady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll let the agent free up time right away." ”

After a few words, he hung up the phone.

Chu Shun continued to call the other main creators, and they all got a reply that took some time.

On February 28, Potsdamer Street was lively again, compared to when he participated in "Untouchable", Chu Shun arrived in Berlin early, and this time Chu Shun was absent from the opening red carpet.

Mainly because before coming, his stomach hurt at home, so Chu Shun immediately unbooked the ticket and asked Xiao Gao to take him to the hospital.

After an inspection, it was an irregular diet that caused a stomach ulcer, and Chu Shun was confused.

"I'm not a doctor, I've been at home lately, six meals a day, I eat what I should eat, I eat what I shouldn't, why do I still have stomach ulcers. Chu Shun said: "Why don't you check it again?"

The doctor said faintly: "Eating too much can also cause stomach ulcers, and irregular eating includes overeating. ”

"Oh - eat too much stomach ulcer. Chu Shun felt that he was a little careless.

"Ahem. The doctor was embarrassed by Chu Shun and coughed dryly.

But Chu Shun is so thick that he can be used as a rag for ten years when he peels off the skin, so for a while, the doctor doesn't know how to continue.

"Prescribe some medicine for you. Eventually, the doctor broke his silence and prescribed medicine.

Chu Shun took the medicine and left, recuperated at home for two days, and then flew to Berlin, and when Chu Shun arrived at Potsdamer Street, the film festival was open for five days.

You know, the Berlin Film Festival has a total of ten exhibition days.

It's not the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the longest-running film festival in the world.

To get back to the point, "Life is Beautiful" was selected as the opening film, the second time since Paradise Cinema as the opening film.

So when Chu Shun went to the hospital, the Potsdamer Straße Cinema Palace had already caused a sensation, and there was such a situation.

"The main exhibition hall of the premiere, you have to go over to see it, and what I am looking forward to most at the Berlin Film Festival is director Chu Shun. Director Cauchy said.

Again, too many foreign names are easy to confuse, Cauchy Louis is a member of the Beverly Hills Club, and looks like Al Pacino on Earth, and his masterpiece "Bloodstained History".

"I remember that Mr. Cauchy didn't like to watch comedy movies. Rose, who was beside him, said.

"Of course not. Cauchy changed his words and said: "But except for the comedy directed by Chu Shun, he will definitely be able to shoot different content." ”

"Chu Shun ......" Ross originally wanted to say that Chu Shun may not be successful in shooting any subject, but he just can't say it when it comes to his lips.

To judge whether a person has prestige, we should not look at what the people around you call them, but by the attitude of those who have opinions in their hearts.

It's like Chu Liuxiang, the enemy is all over the world, but they all call it a handsome, and only his friend Hu Tiehua is called an old bedbug, this is a card.

Ross had an opinion on Chu Shun and wanted to belittle two sentences, but no matter what he hesitated, he couldn't say it.

To be precise, there is no opinion, Ross is a Swedish director, more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, because of the "Civil War" series of movies, it has been rated as the most classic war movie in the 21st century since "Bloodstained History".

Since something means that you are only second, so Ross has always regarded Cauchy as an opponent and wants to catch up.

But Cauchy has a special respect for Chu Shun, which makes Ross have an opinion about Chu Shun.

The reason why Cauchy came to the Berlinale was to serve as the producer of the shortlisted film "Hades", so he was invited.

The script and director of "The Netherland", Cauchy is very optimistic, so it is still the investment of the film, and the movie tells about a very magical place called the Netherland.

Everything in this place is uniformly distributed, work, school, labor, including the wife, a great harmonious world.

There is no conflict in the whole story, it just tells the daily life of this world, there is no conflict, and if there is a conflict, you need to find someone to mediate.

Conflicts between husband and wife, find a husband and wife mediator, find a civil mediator for work conflicts, and find political mediation organizations for conflicts between the state, and violence is not allowed anyway.

After reading it, I didn't feel that the world was very happy, "If people's violence and desires are not reasonably released, then the meaning of human class and civilization no longer exists", there is such a line in it.

And Ross's new film "The New Swede" shot this year was shortlisted, and his directing advantage is to shoot any subject very epic.

The adjective "epic" is not the same fixed standard, because including the plot, soundtrack, picture, etc., it is clear that the Swedes are working in a foreign land, and in the end they can't stand the culture and food of a foreign land, and they don't earn any money at the end, and they return home in despair.

It's very simple, but it just gives the audience the illusion that they are watching an epic blockbuster, which is really a feature.

Ross and Cauchy walked into the premiere hall together, and the former found that basically all the shortlisted directors were on the scene, and the degree of attention can be imagined.

The two were seated in the third row, and next to Ross was Monaco director Kanta, whose film "Eight Mile" was one of the Berlin Film Festival favorites.

The most touted films of the year are "Eight Mile" and "Life is Beautiful," with the former being Kanta's last film.

If people with poor geography will think that Monaco is a city, but in fact, people are also a country, although it is a little smaller, and there are fewer people.

Canta is known as Monaco's "national card", and the last person to hold this title was Hitchcock girl, Grace Kelly.

Kanta is also seventy-three years old this year, and then he has also made some name in the European film circle, and as the last work, regardless of the quality, it is certainly a big hit.

And "Beautiful Life", the name Chu Shun, and then added to shoot in Italy, isn't it enough?

While Rose's mind is confused, the movie begins-

The start screen is blue, like the blue of the sky, and there is no text.

I only heard a calm male voice: "This is a simple story, but it is not easy to tell, he is like a prophecy, there are sorrows, miracles and joys." ”

There is also a layer of bottom sound, which the careful audience in the exhibition hall can hear, as if a cool breeze is blowing without listening.

Coupled with a piece of blue, giving people the sound of the whirring wind in the sky, the picture is a sound transition, the wind really blows to the open mountain dirt road, and there are no tall trees on the hills on both sides of the road, only weeds that can't be named, swaying with the wind.

The words [1939] appear in the center of the screen.

Under the freeze frame, a convertible car drove into the picture, and the male protagonist Guido and his friends were in the car, and the character of the male protagonist could be seen when he appeared.

Instead of sitting in the passenger seat, he slumped in the seat, one foot on the door, a bowler hat covering his eyes, and enjoying the sun was lazy.

Like gathers like, friends are not normal characters, while driving the car, while reading poetry:

"I sing what I see, and nothing can pass my eyes. ”

"I said to Chaos, I am your slave, Chaos replied well, I said I don't need your praise, I am finally free, what is your praise compared to my joy...... I was ready to run like a train, but the brakes failed, and I couldn't resist it anymore......"

As the saying goes, people are cheap and have a harvest, and people will have problems if they are too nervous, and the chubby friend's voice became nervous, shouting: "The brake fails, the brake fails." ”

Guido, who was lazy in the fake sleep, thought that his friend was reading poetry to high school. tide, so it also contains affectionate followed by a sentence: "Oh, the brake fails!"

The chubby friend said: "The brake fails, it's really the brake failure." ”

"Aren't you reciting poems, why did you put the brakes out of order?" Guido straightened up and panicked.

Unable to brake, the vehicle had to turn around through a patch of grass and a patch of wood, and then rampage into the main road.

Coincidentally, the main road coincided with the King's motortour, and Guido and his friend's car happened to get stuck in the parade and squeezed out of the King's vehicle after the two motorcycles that opened the road.

The crowd in front of them was eagerly waiting, old men and children, men and women, all waiting for the king.

Seeing the motorcycle coming, they immediately shouted, "The king is coming", and the band immediately played the welcome music, taking Guido as the king.

Guido saw so many people in front of him, and he was afraid of hitting people, so he stood up, waved his hand stiffly, and shouted loudly, "Our brakes don't work, get out of the way", but the people didn't care what the "king" said, they just saw the "king" waving, so the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic, and they all cheered in response to the king.

The audience at the scene chuckled when they saw this plot, which was a funny burden, and Cauchy had a smile on his face and was thinking about why the movie opened with a blue screen at the beginning.

If it's a rookie director or something, Cauchy won't consider this kind of thing, but if the other party is a master, it must represent a certain meaning, like Cauchy who has seen the beginning of "The Godfather of Tokyo", and he has a strong clarity of the theme.

Guido and his friend's vehicle departed, and then the real king arrived, and everyone was jammed together, and there was no welcome atmosphere at all.

It's only then that the film begins to show the cast and crew, as well as the name of the film, and the camera moves to the country road with the cast and crew and the light background music.

The camera first filmed a pair of legs, to be honest, the average age in the screening hall is over thirty-five years old, so he is also an old driver, and the posture of these legs is somewhat similar to what he looks like when he snaps on the bed.

But in fact, the camera moved up and saw the male protagonist Guido crawling on the ground repairing the car, and he didn't know how the brake failure stopped, but he was repairing it anyway.
