Chapter 126: Great Chance! (5/5)
Lao Mouzi became famous at the Berlin Film Festival with the movie "Red Sorghum", which can be regarded as a descendant of the Berlin Film Festival...
Screening Room 7.
Berlin fans are significantly more enthusiastic about cinema than in Venice – during the Berlinale, 300,000 tickets were sold, two or three times as many as in Venice!
The queue to buy tickets went all the way down the steps.
Of course, Lao Mouzi's influence in Europa is not covered.
Lu Xiaoran led a group of people into the venue...
Tsk, 1500 people hall!
Berlin is really courteous to Lao Mouzi!
Think about what he was scolded for in China...
There have been a lot of guests, all of whom are well-known celebrities.
Cordit, chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, personally accompanied him, and the old man smiled and laughed.
Christian Bale was smiling happily too...
Lu Xiaoran and the others waved their hands towards Lao Mouzi from afar, and they said hello.
After waiting for half a ring, the audience entered the venue one after another, and after twenty minutes, the hall was actually full, and the seats were full.
……
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has mixed reviews.
It's normal that "Schindler's List" was considered 'grandstanding' by the famous film master Godard, not to mention "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
The media evaluation fully shows the ignorance of Chinese history - the characters are exaggerated, and they are either very good or very bad.
It's particularly bad, describing the Japanese invasion of China...
You see, they actually think this is an exaggeration!
Yes, we are not obligated to ask others to know our history...
But Chinese filmmakers, especially well-known Chinese filmmakers, should not be obsessed with making films that are authorial, but should make one or two films that reflect that period of history...
The reason why Bell took "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is because he has acted in "The Empire of the Sun" and knows this history!
As for what The Hollywood Reporter said, 'Only the dumbest filmmakers would inject sex into a disaster like the Nanjing Massacre...'
Just look at it, ignore them, don't copy them, according to this theory, "Schindler's List" should not be filmed either!
'Only the dumbest filmmaker would inject sex into a catastrophe like the Holocaust!'
……
As is customary at the Berlin Film Festival, the earlier the screening, the less dramatic it becomes.
"Fireworks in the Day" premiered on the 22nd, and the film festival is nearing its end...
In the press release sent to China, what ordinary netizens can see is probably 'The red carpet of the opening of the 62nd Berlin Film Festival, Huo tearing Yantao amazed the audience' and 'Fan Xiaoxuan's flaming red punk skirt appeared in the Berlin show tattoo'...
I wasn't at the scene, I didn't understand what it meant - more than ten degrees below zero, and I was so cool to wear!
The actress really fights!
Lu Xiaoran sat in the room, listening to what Zhang Jin said.
So far, during the two-and-a-half-day screening period, except for the first two, the remaining screenings are full, and the audience waiting to buy tickets has a long line in front of the cinema - even if they can't buy tickets, they don't want to leave!
Lu Xiaoran is really a little confused...
"Fireworks in the Day", the whole Chinese dialogue, Chinese narration, only the German translation is given at the bottom of the screen - such a movie for the vast majority of ordinary German audiences, the feeling of watching is probably similar to the feeling of Chinese audiences watching a Vietnamese movie with Chinese subtitles.
Do Germans like Chinese movies so much?
"Don't look at the fact that German films are not famous all over the world, and their audience's love for literary films is not lost to the French at all!"
“… Really?"
"Of course!"
In the 20 European countries, the highest box office is the United Kingdom, with an annual total box office of about 1.6 billion US dollars, followed by France (1.5 billion), Germany (1.1 billion), Russia (900 million), Spain (800 million), Italy (500 million), the Netherlands (400 million), Poland (300 million)...
The biggest problem with cinemas in Germany is the aging infrastructure: many cinemas – especially its diverse chain – were built in the 90s.
The potential of these countries is almost exhausted, which is why Hollywood is so obsessed with developing the Chinese market!
""White Deer Plain" is our fierce rival!"
“… No, the movie doesn't have a high score!"
"Daily Screen" is the house catalog of the Berlin Film Festival, and the scores of the shortlisted films of the eighteen main competitions have basically come out, "Barbara", 3.3 points, the current highest score - the full score is 4 points;
"White Deer Plain" has a score of 1.9 points, the second from the bottom, and "Fireworks in the Day" has a score of 2.6 points, ranking sixth, neither high nor low...
It is difficult to match the score of the house magazine and the taste of the judges.
References are just references, and the final award attribution often makes people fall through the glasses.
So there is a curse of "the highest score in the field magazine will never win the grand prize". The end result was that after the awards, the jury began to press the conference, the critics and the media were bombarded with questions, and then the cycle began in an atmosphere where no one could convince anyone, after all, the critics and the judges could not fully reconcile.
At that time, Jia Zhangke's "Platform" won the highest score in the house catalogue of that Venice Film Festival, and did not win a single award...
Chabrol, the chairman of the jury, said directly, 'I don't like that movie!'
Zhang Jin reminded: "Our Chairman Dieter highly admires "White Deer Plain"!"
“… He also admired "Diet Men and Women 2"..."
"Uh... He's the president of the festival after all..."
"Eating Men and Women 2" is a bad movie, and Li An doesn't even bother to be a nominal producer!
Under the banner of the sequel to "Eating Men and Women", this movie actually sold a bunch of copyrights in Berlin!
Zhang Jin changed the subject: "Say a good thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The box office of "Predecessor Raiders" has broken 300 million!"
“… Yo, it's quite powerful, where did Yang Qing find the director?"
"Recommended by Chen Zhixi, a rookie director, named Han Yan!"
"Sign him!"
"It's already signed..."
Zhang Jin then asked: "We really don't do artist agents?"
“… If you don't do it, you won't do it, but a few of you can set up a brokerage company and be affiliated with us, that Zhou Dongyu, Lin Gengxin, Nini, and Li Yifeng are all very good, you can cultivate it..."
A new generation replaces the old!
Jiao Junyan and Lu Fangsheng are both actors before 85 and will be 30 years old soon.
It's time for a wave of post-85 actors!
"That's right... How do I feel that Sister Zhong didn't pay much attention to my trip to Berlin?"
“… Now I'm busy dealing with Haolaihu, so I don't have much time to pay attention to the overseas situation..."
Boss Lu is unhappy...
"Fireworks in the Day" won the Golden Bear, and the company's stock price is set to soar, why do you pay attention to Hollywood?
"Next month, four Hollywood blockbusters, "Alien Battlefield", "War Horse", "Sword of the King", "Fury of the Gods"... Everybody's scared..."
Teacher Lu paused for a moment: "So many? Didn't you say that there are only 34 films a year?"
“… In addition to the domestic film protection month in the summer file, there is also the protection month of the Chinese New Year file, and 4 or 5 films are evenly distributed every month, which is normal data!"
