Some people say that every year the world's first film cannons are fired by the Berlin Film Festival, although this sentence is not true, but in terms of influence, one of the three major Berlin Film Festival does make the whole world boil in February every year.

Unlike the cold weather in Berlin, the atmosphere of the Berlinale is hot, and the audience's enthusiasm for the film is not weakened by the cold weather, on the contrary, they are very fanatical about the film, and there are people everywhere who are discussing the film, watching the film, and participating in the film event.

Among the three major film festivals, the most accessible and most carnival-like film festival is the Berlinale held in cold weather, where the vast majority of screenings are open to audiences, and in terms of participation, it is the first.

Zhou Bai likes this very much, and what he feels most during this time is that the audience here has a sincere love for movies, they purely like movies, so they come to the film festival to watch all kinds of movies and feel the culture of the world.

One of the reasons why domestic film festivals are not doing well is that our audience participation is relatively low, and we have not yet formed that strong film culture.

In these days in Berlin, Zhou Bai switched between the identity of the audience and the actor, at first no one recognized him wherever he went, and then after a lot of media reports, "My Father and Mother" was successfully released, and he was often recognized by the audience's crazy love, but the audience can maintain restraint and politeness, they are all taking a photo and signing a name, and there are no other excessive actions.

In the forum unit of the film festival, Zhou Bai watched a lot of interesting experimental films and documentaries, some of which were of very good quality and some of which were very bad, but the experimental works of these young directors could see the shining points everywhere and the ideas were very bold, which made Zhou Bai feel very happy.

When many people participate in the film festival, they will pay close attention to the house schedule, and when they arrive at the film festival, various domestic media will mention a kind of thing that seems to be super high - "house book".

What exactly is the Berlinale house programme? There's nothing mysterious about it.

In fact, its full name is "ScreenDaily Publication", its real name is "Screendaily", it is a British online film magazine, every time during the Berlin Film Festival, they launch special reports, printed into books, free in the Palais des Cinémato, and provide free reading on the official website.

In other words, it is white that film critics rate, comment, and evaluate movies through the publication "Daily Screen", which is equivalent to professional film reviews and scoring.

Because the domestic media are not familiar with the setting of the film festival, "Daily Screen" has become an important reference book for media reporters, this publication has a more comprehensive rating of the film, and it is also free to distribute, which is more popular with film festival reporters, so our domestic reporters call people the house magazine.

In fact, it can be called a house book, not only "Daily Screen", "International Screen", "Hollywood Reporter" and other publications are also available in the Palais des Films, and they can also be called house books, just because the more influential is "Daily Screen", everyone thinks that it is over time.

When a certain movie is given a high score, they think that these movies are particularly hopeful of winning the award, and some movies are scored relatively low, and they think that there must be nothing wrong with it, but in fact, this idea is completely wrong.

The house book will score the films that are screened and screened at the film festival, so everyone cares about these scores very much, but in fact, this only represents the evaluation of the film by the media and film critics, and it has nothing to do with the official, the house book judges are journalists and film critics from all over the world, so to put it bluntly, it has no impact on whether to win the award or not.

It's like Zhou Bai saw several movies that were scored a lot on the house book, and the critics also had a very high evaluation of the movies, but in fact, the probability of these movies winning awards in Zhou Bai's opinion is very low, even if the movies do meet the audience's aesthetics, they may not be able to impress the judges.

The film critics' scores not only do not affect the awards, but also do not affect the selection of films by the organizing committee, the people who score on the field books are actually a group of self-entertaining movie audiences, and their role is limited to reflecting public opinion and improving the qualifications, and they have no influence on the awards at all.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Bai only watched it a little, and then threw it aside, "My Father and Mother" got 3.2 points, which made Zhou Bai very happy, but he was just happy, no one is sure whether this movie can win the Golden Bear or not, until the final award time, there is no information at all.

Lao Mouzi is obviously very clear about these things in the film festival, so he doesn't care about the rating, of course, his film is highly praised by the media, it is still a happy thing, and he is in a good mood.

Zhang Ziyi took the house book and discussed with Zhou Bai which films might win awards, which made Zhou Bai a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to care so much about the evaluation of the media, Ah Guan's "Sometimes Dancing" got a score of 2.8 points, according to this score, you can win the award, but in fact, Zhou Bai has the impression that this movie is a feather in Berlin.

After coming to the film festival for more than a week, Zhou Bai's mentality has also changed a lot, at first he just came to make soy sauce, but now he is being noticed by the media, after a period of contact, he is very interested in some things in the film festival, and has done some research.

For people who are not familiar with film festivals, they think that film festivals are just awards, but in fact, this concept is wrong, the reason why the three major film festivals are so influential is not just by relying on awards, behind it is a huge film trading market.

The best thing to do in this point is Cannes, so it is also the most successful of the three, there is no trading market in Berlin, but it does not mean that there are no transactions, and the volume of film copyright transactions that occur during every film festival is rising every year, so everyone wants to squeeze in, and it is good to not be able to participate in competitions and participate in other units, such as screenings or something, it is all money.

The crew of "My Father and Mother" is the most worried, because its overseas screening rights have long been sold to Sony, and Sony Columbia is in charge, and Zhang Weiping has long recovered the cost and made a profit.

Zhou Bai also wants to know what kind of height the movie "My Father and Mother" with his participation can reach, and whether he can win the highest award is the biggest suspense in his heart.

He didn't know, because of the specific award given to this movie, there were many waves among the judges, and it was not easy to reach a consensus in the end.

The Berlin plot ends today
