Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang arrived the next day, and Su Wenwen also inquired about the day of the test screening of "Blind Well", and Song Zheng was surprised that the day of the test screening of "Blind Well" was actually the biggest hit of the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival, and the film "Courageous" jointly produced by Germany and Turkey was arranged on the same day, that is, at the end of the film screening session.

Song Zheng can't think of a reason for this arrangement, is the organizing committee of the Berlin Film Festival trying to show its attention, or is it determined to find a strong opponent for "Blind Well".

Although the box office does not need to be considered for the screening here, if it is put together with a popular movie, this relative comparison is still a bit ~~~~~~~

Never mind!

Anyway, it's all arranged, Song Zheng didn't spend too much effort thinking about these, these days, he, Li Yang, Wang Baoqiang are busy attending various press conferences, interviews, and various official activities, among the three of them in this line, there is no doubt that Song Zheng is the most concerned, Li Yang is a rookie director, not to mention Wang Baoqiang, Ya is a little rookie, there is no focus at all, Song Zheng is different, after all, he is the Cannes actor, and he is still very appealing.

These days, Su Wenwen has not been idle, and has met with many representatives of distribution agencies, different from that day at the banquet, that day was a familiar face, and now he is really talking about agency distribution, although "Blind Well" has not yet been tested.

After mixing for several days, it finally came to the day of the test screening of "The Blind Well", the Berlin Film Festival has been going on so far, and the overall trend has become clearer, perhaps because of coincidence, many films this year are mainly reflecting the theme of human nature, such as "Courage" about the unemployed, "The Lost Embrace" about the descendants of immigrants, and naturally "The Blind Well".

The attribution of various awards is the focus of people's attention, and the media has launched predictions, according to this prediction, the Golden Bear Award will probably be produced in "Brave Forward" and "Lost Embrace", "Blind Well" is not among them, because this film has not yet been tested, for people, it is still very mysterious, although "Courage" has not been tested, but it has been screened in a small area in Germany before, and the response has been very good, and the queen laurel is predicted to be born between Caterina Moreno and Richards Theron.

As for the actor who has attracted more attention, people have expressed their optimism about Daniel Hendler, the actor of "Lost Hug".

It seems that everything has already settled, and the awards have already had owners, just waiting for the closing day of the film festival.

On the day of the test screening of "Blind Well", Song Zheng came to the scene early, and compared with the treatment received by "Incense" last year, this year's "Blind Well" is much better, at least arranged by the organizer in a screening hall with about 500 seats.

There are a lot of people who come to cheer, and there are also many peers, Song Zheng naturally can't slack off, follow these people to politely say a few words, they don't understand each other's language, and they may not be able to reach the meaning through translation, but they can only be so embarrassed and embarrassed You come and go, a little bit speechless.

Song Zheng stared nervously at the entrance while playing haha, although he knew that "Blind Well" had won a silver bear in his previous life, but now that many things have changed, he still feels bottomless in his heart.

Moreover, they didn't do much publicity before, so they could only print some simple posters and leaflets, which were pasted on the buildings around the venue, with large stills, the time and place of the premiere, and a brief introduction to the content of the film.

Compared with those films that were hyped at the beginning of the film festival, "Blind Well" is really shabby everywhere, so Song Zheng is really not sure how many people can come today.

endured the embarrassment, chatted for a while with a group of peers who came to cheer for a while, film critics and reporters from all over the world came to the scene, these pen heads and mouth cannons are related to the second day of the test screening, the evaluation of the film itself is good or bad, naturally it can't be lazy, Song Zheng hurriedly took Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang to greet him.

It was polite again, and then someone entered the venue, this is the audience who really paid for the ticket.

It doesn't seem that there are a lot of people, walking in twos and threes, it seems to be sparse, but there are always people coming in, and when it was about to be shown, Song Zheng secretly looked around, and actually sat down.

What a surprise ~~~~~~~~~!

Song Zheng was watching, and suddenly found that someone was waving at him, and he smiled politely in return, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Brother is now recognizable in Europe!

Uh~~~~~ that's all!

After a while, the lights dimmed and the film was officially shown.

At the beginning of the film, it is the private coal mine that Song Zheng followed after entering the crew, the tone of the picture is very dark, revealing a depressing atmosphere, potholed dirt roads, huge coal piles, and the workers are disgraced, coming out of the board rooms one by one.

Whether it is the guests or the audience who come to cheer, they are obviously no strangers to this kind of realistic Chinese films, and the rough original ecology has long been strange.

It can be said that the opening did not attract these people, but felt that this way of dealing with it was very old-fashioned and uninspiring, and Song Zheng even noticed that some people's faces were already disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Song Jinming, played by Song Zheng, got into the elevator, the rope was loose, and several people continued to descend along the narrow mine, and the whole picture fell into darkness.

This shot is very, very annoying, when I watched the sample for the first time, Song Zheng immediately liked this lens, and the handling was simply in place.

The attention of the audience in the screening hall was also attracted, and they were vaguely aware that this film seemed to have a slightly different feeling.

Next, the mine cave that can't stand up to the waist, the weak lights, the bracket that will collapse at any time, the sound of broken footsteps, and the terrifying underground shooting, make people's hearts also touched with the fate of the protagonist.

It can be said that this set of shots is very perfectly handled, and the attention of the audience is completely attracted by the film itself.

On the big screen, Song Jinming waved his pickaxe with a smile and said, "I'll send you home!"

Then he slammed it on the man's head without hesitation.

"Bang!"

Song Zheng clearly heard that many viewers at the scene couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

There are no pretentious long shots, no messy voiceovers, no veiled expressions, just so simply and directly, so naked and naked to bring desire, hope and humanity in front of people, making everyone dumbfounded.

Many professional film critics at the scene were stunned by this scene, they couldn't believe that the outstanding human nature of Western movies could be seen in a Chinese movie, and it was still dark to the end.

The movie continues, the screening hall is silent, everyone's hearts are being touched as the plot unfolds, at first some people paid attention to Tang Chaoyang or Yuan Fengming, but unconsciously, Song Jinming became the absolute protagonist, as long as he appeared, he couldn't help but be emotionally driven.

Under the rough scolding of Yuan Fengming, the hidden kindness, knowing that the child was sick, the face like ashes, smoking on the mound at midnight, turned from tangled to murderous eyes.

Everyone, struggling with his struggle, going crazy with his madness, this emotion, every time the picture is presented, everyone is a little backlogged, and it is heavily blocked in the chest.

At the end, Song Jinming and Tang Chaoyang were torn and beaten in the mine like beasts, rubble fell, fists and feet intersected, and human nature was completely presented in front of everyone in blood, so real, so bleak, and so frightening.

With a loud bang, the mine collapsed, not daring to be good or evil, and humanity was completely buried.

The audience's emotions that were constantly affected reached the highest point in an instant, and they wanted to vent, but they were stuck in their throats.

At the end of the screening, Song Zheng noticed that Li Yang had collapsed in his chair, motionless, his face was pale, and there was a faint panic in his eyes, the movie was over, but no one applauded, no one cheered, and he couldn't even hear the discussion.

Song Zheng's heart was also a little panicked, this feeling made him at a loss, subconsciously glanced back, and suddenly found that an audience stood up not far away, and then, a whole row of audiences stood up, and finally, the whole audience stood up.

The big screen was still bright, slowly scrolling through the list of credits, and after a minute, it was completely darkened, and in this minute, there was not even a sound in the screening room.

Suddenly~~~

Wow~~~~~~~~~~~

The applause was thunderous, Song Zheng could see it, the audience's eyes were full of excitement and appreciation, and Song Zheng's hanging heart fell into his stomach.

At this time, a film critic sitting behind Song Zheng stretched out his hand to him: "Thank you very much, Song!

Song Zheng subconsciously reached out and shook hands with the other party, and at this time, he noticed that this person was actually Koslick, the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee.

Koslick said some more words, but because the scene was too noisy, Su Wenwen couldn't hear what the other party was saying, and there was no way to translate, and Song Zheng could only laugh vigorously.

After the premiere, it was a press conference as usual, and the venue was packed, and there were not enough reserved seats, and many reporters had to stand.

Everyone waited for a few minutes, Li Yang, Song Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Su Wenwen entered in turn, sat down next to Koslick, and as soon as the host announced the start, the reporters below raised their hands.

"What do you think of the movie "The Blind Well," a German buddy tossed Koslick the first question.

Koslick replied skilfully: "As we all know, the Berlinale has been encouraging Supporting the development of films in the third world, especially Chinese films, we are very happy to see the progress and innovation of Chinese films, especially in recent years, there are indeed new directors who continue to emerge, such as the director Ning Hao we met last year, he is a genius who uses the lens, although I like his works very much, but frankly speaking, his works still lack a shocking power, the shock of life, and today, I am very happy to be in "Blind Well" I saw what I wanted most, and if I had to describe it in one word, it would be extremely shocking! It's a tribute to life!"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, although they had a hunch that Koslick would definitely give a good evaluation, but they were still frightened when they heard the word "extremely shocking".

"So, you mean, there's a good chance that 'The Blind Well' will win the award?"

"Regarding this question, I want to leave it until the closing day of the film festival to reveal the answer, okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's still focus on these creators, after all, such a shocking work, they are dedicated to everyone!"

Then, a reporter who was named stood up and asked director Li Yang: "As far as I know, there are many realistic films in China, but this is the only one that focuses on coal miners, what is your motivation for wanting to shoot "Blind Shaft"?"

"Uh~~~~~~~~ first of all, this story comes from a novel, and this kind of individual event did really happen, but some people chose to hide it, I hope to let more people know, more people pay attention to that group!"

Song Zheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop it, so he had to listen to the other party's brief description of his mental journey.

Fortunately, the reporter who did not provoke trouble continued to ask about certain sensitive things.

Subsequently, reporters from various countries took turns to fight, and most of the questions raised focused on the movie itself, which made Song Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Naturally, a reporter asked Song Zheng: "May I ask Mr. Song, you show a different performance in the film from "Balzac and the Little Tailor", just like Mr. Chairman just said, shocking, extremely shocking, I noticed that these are two completely different performance styles, how did you do it, and in addition, do you think you have a chance to win the Best Actor Award?"

After listening to Su Wenwen's translation, Song Zheng replied: "I don't think there is any difference, these are two completely incompatible characters in themselves, I am at least performing in a more appropriate way, and I haven't thought about it so much." ”

Song Zheng said, smiled faintly, and said, "As for whether I can win the award, I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

Overall, the test screening of "The Blind Well" was a great success, and the next day, reports about "The Blind Well" dominated most of the pages of the major media in Berlin, and professional film critics from all walks of life wrote articles and gave "The Blind Well" a very high evaluation.

Among the many praises, Song Zheng has obviously become the protagonist, and his performance in the movie has been unanimously praised.

"When people evaluate an actor's performance style, they will always habitually define it, and attribute the actor's performance style to a certain style, but this convention does not seem to apply to the Chinese Song Dynasty, his performance has no trace at all, in his own words, he is a wild man, he does not have much professional knowledge of performance, all he can do is to perform according to his own ideas and his understanding of the characters"Blind Well" is an excellent movie, and it gives us the most wonderful performance!"

On the contrary, director Li Yang was ignored, and it seems that this "Blind Well" has become Song Zheng's personal show, and everyone else is only a supporting role.

Li Yang felt very hard, his directorial debut, was covered by an actor to cover all the limelight, however, he must also admit that Song Zheng alone did overshadow the entire work, although it was not unpleasant, but there was definitely a sense of loss.

However, Li Yang also understands a truth, before a director has enough control, he must not try to control an actor who can't control at all.

Thinking about it carefully, in the filming process, it seems that many times, Song Zheng occupies the dominant position, and many bridges and many shots are designed by Song Zheng.

Thinking about it like this, Li Yang felt that he had nothing to lose.

"Blind Well" has been highly praised, and naturally it has attracted many fans to integrate into the cinema, and people want to see what a film that can be evaluated as "extremely shocking" by the chairman of the organizing committee, Koslick, is like.

As a result, the audience was also shocked after watching it.

The kind of bloody exposure of human nature is something that few movies can do, undisguised, simple and cruel, so that when people watch this movie, their hearts feel as if they are being gragged fiercely.

Similarly, Song Zheng's excellent performance in "Blind Well" has become the hottest topic, and in this regard, Li Yang said that TM is used to it!

"Blind Well" is so popular, obviously no one expected it, and the number of screenings originally arranged for "Blind Well" was not very many, but now the number of screenings has to be adjusted, which barely meets the needs of the audience.

At the entrance of the movie theater, people are actually queuing up to buy tickets, just to see the movie "Blind Well", which is unimaginable in China.

After Song Zheng secretly went to see it, he returned to the hotel and said ten "" to Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang.

Song Zheng has no intention of belittling the appreciation level of domestic movie audiences, but the reality is so helpless, if "Blind Well" is fortunate enough to be released in China, it will definitely only have a hypnotic effect on the audience, but here, it has risen to the height of art.

For three consecutive days, the number of screenings of "Blind Well" reached 30, and on the last day, the attendance rate even reached 100%.

It can be said that the trip of "Blind Well" to Germany was a great success!

Su Wenwen has received several phone calls from representatives of European agency distribution companies, asking for a face-to-face interview about the European agency distribution rights of "Blind Well".

This kind of thing, Song Zheng has all been handed over to Su Wenwen to deal with, and all his attention has now been shifted to the day of the closing ceremony.
