Junya Sato's heart is always hanging in the process of watching the movie, "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" has a unique style, and it talks about Go, and it involves the history of the two countries, he doesn't know if the West German audience can understand it, and if the Western judges can accept it. This time, hearing the warm applause of the audience and seeing all the guests standing up, his heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground, showed a knowing smile, stood up, and applauded with the audience.

Sun Daolin and Tang Yuqiang all stood up, and they were all very excited at this time, and they all applauded desperately. It was the first time for Akina Nakamori to attend the premiere of the film festival, and hearing such warm applause on such a stage made her feel both excited and proud, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xu Wangqiu also stood up, smiling and applauding with everyone. He was the most relaxed of them all, he was very familiar with the three major film festivals and knew that films like "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" were very popular at the festival. He is very confident in his film and believes that the film will be able to win the favor of the audience and the judges, and the reaction of the live audience undoubtedly proves this.

The applause at the scene continued to sound like a surging river.

While applauding, Jeanne Morrow turned her head to look at Xu Wangqiu and smiled, thinking that "Falcon" and "Hoe Rape" are both very neat genre films, innovative in audio-visual language, but the personal style is not very strong, I didn't expect this movie to change so much, the style is so unique, and his creativity is really amazing. No wonder Truf and Pierre Cardin held him in high esteem, what a young man!

Hannah Xugula looked at Xu Wangqiu and couldn't help but think of Fassbinder, who passed away last year, they are a type of director, both are the kind of directors who perfectly blend business and art. She sighed slightly, thinking that if Werner was still alive, he would definitely like this Chinese director very much, and would have a good chat with him, but unfortunately he just went.

Roger Ebert looked at Xu Wangqiu with an incredible light in his eyes. This is an epic work, and it is also a work that really goes deep into the hearts and souls of the characters. A work like this can only appear in the hands of a very mature director, and can only appear in the hands of a director in his forties and fifties, because only enough experience can handle such a work, but now such a work is in the hands of a young director in his early twenties, which is really a bit incredible.

Most Italian journalists came with a picky mentality, and after watching the movie, they didn't know what to say, and they were deeply shocked. In their opinion, Xu Wangqiu is a typical genre film director, although there are breakthroughs and innovations in audiovisual language, but his films lack ideology and humanistic care, especially "Falcon" was criticized by many people, saying that he sang praises for war. They never dreamed that Xu Wangqiu would take the route of humanistic care this time and begin to reflect on the war.

This film covers 42 years from 1924 to 1956, showing the audience the pre-war During the war and the three post-war historical periods, the fate of the little people is used to show the rich content of social life, and the fate of two ordinary families is used to show the audience the grand narrative content and narrative theme, which more truly shows the audience the great changes in the society at that time, vaguely outlines the overall appearance of Chinese and Japanese society before and after the war, and thinks deeply about the war, which is a film with epic temperament.

There are many movies that reflect the fate of small people in the context of the big era, such as "Doctor Zhivago". These films tend to be realistic films, and the audiovisual style is also very realistic. "A Game of Chess That Never Ends" is also a realistic film, but the audiovisual style is surreal. The tone of most of the pictures in the movie is abnormal, and it will change with the change of the character's mood, and the changes in the character's heart are perfectly externalized through color.

"A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" is also very unique, most of the content of the movie is memories, and the characters are always accompanied by breathing sounds when recalling, sometimes they are vague, sometimes they are rapid, and sometimes they are accompanied by crying or sobbing. In other words, there is always a psychological space inside the painting and a real space outside the painting. This unique treatment brings a very unique feeling to the audience.

Italian journalists believe that tomorrow countless media around the world will laugh at the Venice Film Festival, laugh at the fact that the organizing committee of the festival is blind, and that such a masterpiece will be abandoned for the sake of Hu Jinquan's very ordinary film. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts, how blind the organizing committee is, how could such a film be withdrawn from the film festival?

Until the lights came on and the screen disappeared completely, the applause on the scene was still loud like a storm. Although "A Game of Unfinished Chess" tells the story of China and Japan, the audience at the scene has deep feelings, especially the elderly audience. They experienced World War II, lost relatives and friends in the war, and they supported the war with the same passion as the people of Dongying, but in the end they got endless pain and suffering; they have a personal experience of the experiences and misfortunes of the characters in the movie, and they are sad for the misfortunes of the characters, and they are happy that they finally got out of the suffering and faced life positively.

Facing the wave of applause, Xu Wangqiu and the crew members walked onto the stage. They stood in a row in front of the screen and bowed deeply to the guests and the audience, expressing their gratitude to the guests and the audience. And the audience looked at the crew members who bent down and bowed in front of them, and they were even more excited, and responded with more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Xu Wangqiu led the crew members to take curtain calls five times in a row, but still did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the audience. They vented their love for the film with applause, screams, and whistles. It wasn't until the staff asked Xu Wangqiu and them to go to the press conference hall to participate in the film's press conference that the applause slowly stopped.

The journalist liked the film very much, and at the same time was full of curiosity about it. After the premiere, they were like a swarm of bees returning to their nests, all of them crowded into the press conference, waiting to ask Xu Wangqiu and them questions.

Xu Wangqiu is the most famous in the crew, and he has just released a movie manifesto, and the reporters have a lot of questions to ask. In the questioning stage, most of the questions are directed at Xu Wangqiu, even if they are asked to others, the questions asked are all related to Xu Wangqiu, such as how it feels to cooperate with Xu Wangqiu.

The overall atmosphere of the press conference was relaxed, but there were also thorny questions, mainly from Italian reporters and crooked reporters, and these questions were also directed at Xu Wangqiu. However, Xu Wangqiu has been in the film industry for many years, and has encountered all kinds of thorny and difficult problems, and these problems in front of him are nothing at all, and they are easily resolved between talking and laughing.

The reporter of the Italian "News" saw that his companion did not stump Xu Wangqiu, and he threw out another question: "Director Xu Wangqiu, a few days ago, you issued a film manifesto, one of which is to oppose the distancing effect and oppose any behavior that pulls the audience out of the immersion. But there is a problem in "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished", when Yishan and Songbo recall, the audience originally entered their world, but you added their breathing and crying in the background, which is to tell the audience that it is now in their memories, not the real world. This has the effect of distancing, pulling the audience out of the immersion. What do you think about that?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled faintly: ""A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Played was completed last summer, and the declaration was formulated at the beginning of this year. We have ten rules, which are what we are working towards, not iron laws, not every one of them must be followed. That's too dogmatic. Sometimes it's okay to break the rules for better performance, or to get better results. I don't think that adding the sound of breathing and crying will make the audience play, I think this is the same as music, and when I reminisce, can I add a concert to play? Add breathing and crying as well. ”

After the Italian reporter sat down, Roger Ebert stood up: "I'm Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun, I love this movie, and I think the best thing about this movie is the externalization of the inner state of the characters. The film has very little reality and most of it is done through reminiscences. My question is, human consciousness is scattered and disorganized, if the memories of Guo Yishan and Songbo are scattered and not told in chronological order, is it more in line with the state of human consciousness?"

Hearing that the other party was Roger Ebert, Xu Wangqiu looked at the man in front of him, it was really that Roger Ebert. He had seen Roger Ebert's "The Great Movie" when he was a student in his last life. However, he first knew that Roger Ebert had a recommendation like "Thumb Up" on the bootleg sleeve. In the minds of movie fans all over the world in later generations, Roger Ebert gave a thumbs up, so the quality of this movie is more or less guaranteed.

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said: "We have considered that the memories of Yishan and Songbo will adopt a non-linear narrative, which will smoothly disrupt all of them and collage them at will, but in this way, there will be a threshold for watching the movie, and there will be obstacles for ordinary audiences when watching." We made this film in the hope that the audience in China and Dongying will take a good look at this movie and remember everything that happened in the past. If most of our movies can't be understood, or they can't read it in a daze, it will be contrary to our original intention. It is precisely because of this thinking that when we wrote the film manifesto later, I added a clause against the distancing effect and against any behavior that pulls the audience out of the sense of immersion. ”

An hour later, the press conference ended successfully, and Xu Wangqiu walked out of the press conference hall with a relaxed mood and a smile. Due to the very good mood, they refused the car arranged by the organizing committee and prepared to walk back to the hotel from the venue, wanting to enjoy the night view of Berlin and calm their excitement by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the Cinema Palace, several German audience members walked over with small notebooks, asked them to sign autographs, and asked them to take a group photo. Xu Wangqiu and the others agreed with a smile, and they were very happy that their movies could be recognized in a foreign country.

When I was about to arrive at the hotel, a German suddenly came by bicycle from a distance and shouted at Akina Nakamori as he rode back. Xu Wangqiu and the others were all startled, thinking that they had encountered hooligans, so they quickly protected Akina Nakamori behind them, and asked the German in English what he was going to do, and if he didn't go away, he would call the police.

The translator told Xu Wangqiu that this German actually had no malicious intent, he was praising Akina Nakamori's performance in the movie, shouting "You acted awesomely", "I love you", "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" and the like, probably because he was more emotional shortly after watching the movie, so his performance was a little stronger.

After understanding that it was a false alarm, Akina Nakamori smiled and waved to the German audience and bowed in thanks.

After the Germans left, Xu Wangqiu and the others laughed and teased: "Not bad, Ming Cai." I have fans in West Germany, and I have become an international star!"
