Chapter 623: News from Berlin

The 54th Berlin Film Festival is about to open, and a total of 23 films competing for various awards in the main competition unit have also been announced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Invested by 1+1 studio, directed by Li Yang, starring Song Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, "Blind Well" is impressively listed.

As early as last year, when the post-production of "Blind Well" was completed, Song Zheng entrusted the relationship and planned to send "Blind Well" to Berlin for the exhibition.

Song Zheng's person is the agent of the overseas distribution of "Incense" before, and the cooperation between the two companies was good, after "Incense" was released in Europe, although it failed to cause any sensation, but the box office results still made the other party make a small profit.

This kind of realistic film is not popular in China, but it is still very marketable abroad.

Whether foreigners walk into the cinema with the mentality of appreciating art, or simply want to see China's poor and backward side from the movie, and satisfy their perverted sense of superiority, in short, when "Incense" was released in many European countries, the attendance rate of the cinema unexpectedly reached 70%, especially in Belgium and Switzerland, it reached 85%, and this kind of attendance rate is unimaginable in China.

Song Zheng didn't think about it, take away the relationship between Guo Baochang and the old man, and then go to Han Sanye to dredge it up, so that "Incense" can be released in China, but it's just a matter of thinking about it, even if it's really released, it is not bad to be able to sit ten people in the screening hall of 100 people.

Therefore, the way out for the drama "Blind Well" has to be in Europe and China, and I can't count on it at all.

At this time, I heard Li Yang say that "Blind Well" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, although he has the memory of his previous life, Song Zheng knows very well that the movie "Blind Well" will be very popular at the Berlin Film Festival and won a Silver Bear Award, but now that things are down, he can't help but be excited.

After all, many things have changed now because of his appearance, and "Blind Well", which was supposed to be exhibited last year, has dragged on for a year, who knows, whether there will be any changes in it.

"Brother Li, who gave you the news!"

Li Yang said with a smile: "No one gave me news, the organizing committee of the Berlin Film Festival has announced it to the public, and I still read a foreign English newspaper to find out!"

When Li Yang spoke, it was indescribable excitement and excitement in his tone, in fact, it is no wonder that his first work after the film can be favored by the organizing committees of the three major Berlin Film Festival in Europe.

Song Zheng was also happy, but at this time, he poured a basin of cold water on Li Yang: "Brother Li! happy is happy, you have to be ready for ~~~~~!"

Li Yang was stunned, and then immediately understood what Song Zheng meant, he really had to be prepared, the film "Blind Well" was a black household to put it bluntly, and there were no formal procedures, so they were trying to shoot it.

Now he is going to Berlin to participate in the exhibition with great fanfare, and once he is investigated from above, as a director, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Don't look at Li Yangcai made a movie, but in the circle, he is also clear, many decisions from above, and many attitudes towards the lower ones are like convulsions.

Some directors have been filming banned films for a lifetime, and they are stunned that there is nothing to do, and some directors have to bear the wrath of Wan Jun from above just after playing a side game.

For example, Grange Zhuang, such as Lou Ye, are all dead corpses lying under a certain guillotine, and Lou Ye, who has a good relationship with Li Yang, is still banned!

"Xiao Song, or we ~~~~~~ tm! I can do whatever I love, it's a big deal that I won't shoot in the future! They can still send me to prison!"

It's obviously impossible to go to prison, it's not to that extent, "Blind Well" is not the kind of love action movie that can be shot with three or two actors and a big bed in the neighbor Little Japan, it is nothing more than exposing the ugly phenomena of society, although it smears the society, but no matter how black it is, it is not good to kill him with this as a bullet, so you have to have a face!

Song Zheng had also thought about this question before, but unfortunately the answer was powerless, although he now has a little ability and status, but compared with a certain game, his little ability is not enough to see.

That is, he is young, and he has filmed several patriotic-themed anti-Japanese TV series before, and he has to take care of the influence more or less, otherwise, the last time "Incense" won the award in Berlin, he couldn't let him go.

In this regard, Zhang Yuan, Guan Hu is the best, making underground movies for a while, exposing the dark side of society, and filming the main theme for a while, praising the great achievements of our party, one knife on the left, one knife on the right, plus one is in the system, and there are people on the other, and no one can do anything with them.

But Li Yang can't do it, there is no one on it, and he is a self-employed person, if "Blind Well" is really beautiful abroad, and he slaps those officials in the face, who will be smoked if people don't smoke him!

"Brother Li, don't think about it, it's natural to pass it to the bridge!"

Li Yang is a person with a bit of a stingy personality in his free and easy manner, which is completely inconsistent with his image, otherwise it would not have been possible to drag the entire crew to the black coal kiln and almost killed him.

"Don't talk about this, isn't it okay now? Maybe, if I win the Golden Bear Award, the boss will reward me!"

You're thinking too much!

If "Blind Well" doesn't win the award, the boss will definitely pretend not to see it, but once he wins the award, the official feels that he has been slapped in the face, and he won't pump who you draw, let alone the Golden Bear Award.

A film that can't be released in China has won the supreme honor at the three major European film festivals, even if it is an honor for Chinese films, but there is no political achievement in it, can people agree?

"Okay, then I'll congratulate you in advance!"

"Don't talk nonsense with me!Xiao Song!Are you still in France now!?"

"That's right! I just finished today! I'm going to go back to China tomorrow!"

When Li Yang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't rush back first, you go directly to Germany, I'll take Baoqiang, how about we meet in Berlin when we go back!?"

Song Zheng thought about it and thought that this was also very good, it would be too troublesome to save tossing back and forth, and it would be much more convenient to go directly from France to Germany.

"Okay! let's meet in Berlin!"

Song Zheng thought very well, it was only a few days before the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, and he passed in advance, just so that he could build momentum for "Blind Well" and find an agent he was interested in, but unfortunately, he patronized and thought about "Blind Well" and forgot about another important thing.
