Chapter 13 Silver Bear Award
The Chinese film market continues to be hot, which has attracted the attention of the whole world.
As the chairman of the largest private media company in China, Xu Hui's status has naturally risen!
Yes, our country has policy restrictions in terms of film investment.
If a foreign investor wants to invest in a Chinese film, either you make a commercial film or simply make a co-production.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Chinese film market is so hot at present, but many foreign hot money is blocked.
However, if you can collude with some domestic capitalists and help with the help of domestic film companies for production and distribution, you can still make money!
Huiwen Tianxia is definitely the first target of these people!
It has sufficient production and distribution capacity on its own.
Of course, it is impossible for Xu Hui to do such a thing.
This is tantamount to treason!
Of course, in line with the purpose of friendly exchanges and communication, Xu Hui still chatted with them...
After all, these people are all big dealers.
In fact, there are many foreign institutions that are willing to invest in China's independent and literary films, especially Chinese directors who have entered the film festival channel.
Ning Hao once said to Xu Hui, "After filming "Green Meadow", in fact, I have two choices, one is to continue to make literary films, at that time, there were institutions in France and Taiwan, China, and they all talked to me that they would give me more money: 'With an investment of 8 million to 10 million, you can continue to make literary films and art films.' However, when the Berlin Film Festival showed "Green Meadow", I counted that there were only 40 people in the audience. I said: I travel tens of thousands of kilometers to watch movies for 40 audiences, and then I show movies to 40 audiences who don't necessarily understand the movies I made. So, I decided to make a commercial film... We should make some movies that Chinese audiences like!"
I believe that these foreign capitals are just holding the purpose of making money, and of course, they are happy to see some of China's poverty and backwardness and the mainstream media sing against them...
……
This year's Berlin Film Festival is a lone Chinese film - "Su Yuan".
Last year's "White Deer Plain" was selected for the main competition unit, the three Taiwanese movies "LOVE", "10+10", and "Demon Street Queen Redux" were selected for the panorama unit, and "The Lost Land" and "The Behavior That Has Not Been Defined in a Revolution" were selected for the short film unit award.
The stars are shining!
Chinese-language films occupy a place at the Berlin Film Festival...
This year is more miserable, just a "Su Yuan", and of course "The Grandmaster", but that movie is only screened and does not participate in the selection!
There are only seven members of the jury this year, in addition to Wang Jiawei, the well-known is Tim Robbins, who is the male lead in "The Redemption of Shaw Shengke"...
It is destined to be a year of aphasia in Berlin for Chinese films!
The evaluation of the domestic media is that 'under the seemingly prosperous situation of the domestic film market, Chinese films are gradually moving away from film art...'
Lao Wang is very calm about this: "Everything has a reincarnation, and I believe that there will be more Chinese films in Berlin in the future." ”
A master is a master, and everything he says is full of Zen machines!
In fact, in the Chinese film market, which is dominated by box office theory, a new batch of directors are struggling with the mud of business and box office, and they are already struggling to cope with the invasion of Hollywood.
Chinese films rely too much on the domestic market and ignore the external circulation of the international market...
Even if there are some blockbusters that focus on oriental symbols to attract Western audiences, a lack of respect for the laws of art will not go far after all. Whether it is a "newcomer" or a "veteran", there is still no suitable way for today's Chinese films to tell Chinese stories from an international perspective and how to convey culture with film language...
……
At around half past seven, the closing ceremony officially began.
First, the jury made a collective appearance, and then the awards began.
Xu Hui remained calm throughout the whole process, and he didn't expect "Su Yuan" to win the award, otherwise he would have been a public relations boss a long time ago!
It's a very comfortable feeling, and it's a complete audience to watch the whole awards ceremony.
The first was the Alfred Bauer Prize, which was awarded to the Canadian film Vic and Flo to see a bear, and the Alfred Bauer Award was awarded in honor of Alfred Bauer, the founder of the Berlin Film Festival.
This is followed by the Silver Bear Award for the script and the director.
It has nothing to do with "Su Yuan"...
"OK, Best Actress at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival..."
The award was presented by Alan Coolas, one of the members of the jury of this year's festival.
She looked at the note, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Zhang Zi Feng "Su Yuan", from China, is only 11 years old this year!"
it!
The Silver Bear was awarded to an 11-year-old girl?
Are you kidding?
However, thinking of Zhang Zifeng's children's performance in "Su Yuan", this award is awarded, without flaws, and is very rigorous!
Immediately, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
Domestic reporters were very excited, crackling and began to send messages to the country...
Zhang Zifeng can also be regarded as a child star who became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
Feng Xiaogang has the capital to brag about it again - Zhang Zifeng was dug up by him!
Wan Qian took the stage to help receive the award, Zhang Zifeng was still at home for the New Year, and primary school students...
After thanking her, Miss Wan stepped off the podium.
“… Did you really let her win the prize?"
Huang Bo was a little speechless, more of course excited, he didn't expect that the original joke really came true!
Do you want to become a prophet?
“… I think on the one hand, it is because Zifeng has performed well, and on the other hand, I suspect that the Berlin Film Festival wants to come out with a gimmick..."
After receiving the Silver Bear trophy handed over by Wan Qian, Xu Hui replied casually, and then stared at the 'Silver Bear' non-stop...
"The Berlinale still needs a gimmick?"
"Of course, the three major film festivals are in competition with each other, and Cannes is getting bigger and bigger..."
Xu Hui and Huang Bo were chatting enthusiastically, when they heard Tim Robbins on the podium announce: "... The winner of Best Actor at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival is... Huang Bo, "Su Yuan"!"
Huang Bo didn't react a little, how to say it, happiness came too suddenly!
It's not that I haven't fantasized about winning the prize, it's just that the probability is too low, so don't just dream about it...
“… Brother Bo, hurry up and go up!"
Xu Hui looked at Huang Bo, who was a little stunned, and hurriedly pushed him.
The latter reacted and took the stage to give an acceptance speech.
"it!"
Not to mention Huang Bo, the reporters in the audience hurt their eggs, so they passed the news of Zhang Zifeng's award back to China, and now there is the best actor again!
Berlin actor, what is the concept?
So these people took out their mobile phones again and sent the news of Huang Bo's winning the actor back to China as quickly as possible...
Compared with the Golden Horse or something, the three major European film festivals are forced here!
This is much more exciting than the news that Huang Bo won the Golden Horse Best Actor.
“… I am very grateful to the main committee for knowing the heroes, and even more grateful to our screenwriter Xu Hui..."
