Chapter 224: The Journey-1
PS: The little brother is a worker, in Suzhou, the temperature is 33-40 degrees Celsius, I am very honored, I also have heat stroke, I still remember it, don't worry, please subscribe, the state is very bad -
The Berlinale began in June 1951, and the idea was already in place in 1945.
However, it was still in the middle of World War II, so it was certainly impossible to do so, and the first one was not held until June 1951, but at that time Germany was still in a state of reconstruction, the poverty of fighting, the city baptized by Allied artillery fire, and the charm of attracting others to participate was completely devoid.
But after decades of development, the Berlinale has gradually grown to a position of giants alongside Cannes and Venice.
When it comes to the two friends who came to the Berlin Film Festival, we must talk about the difference between it and the two partners.
Cannes and Venice have their own styles and characteristics, that is, they are completely polar and Berlin in terms of commerciality, and the Berlin Film Festival has been the same from the first edition to the 50th edition today, and there is never a lack of political shadows behind the scenes.
It has to do with the location, if the festival is in Munich, if it is anywhere in Germany, it will not be like this, but not Berlin, because this is the meeting place of East and West Berlin, where people on both sides can be better communicated.
Movies are indispensable spiritual food in people's market life, which can unconsciously infuse thoughts and consciousness into others, perhaps this is the idea that the people of West Berlin originally fought!
To get back to the point, this year's Berlin Film Festival is a bit special, why is it special, just look at the list provided by Han Sanyu.
The main ~ seat of the jury Li Sheng heard Zhou Gongzi say before, it is Gong Li, if it is said that special care, Li Sheng did not dare to think about it, but the only advantage is probably that the similarity of the language will allow her to better understand some of the meanings or stalks, at least it will not make the whole film appear self-congratulatory when playing.
Then look at these films, "In Defense of Justice" in the United States, "Sky Hook" in Yugoslavia, "The Colonel's Daughter" in Russia, "First Dawn" in Italy, from many different countries, which is rare at the previous Berlin Film Festival.
In addition, this year's Berlinale is the 50th anniversary, and it is even more grand than in previous years, but please note that the political atmosphere is even stronger.
It can be seen from the selection of films in the entire main competition unit that although war and history are not the first time to appear at the Berlin Film Festival, it is definitely the first time that such a proportion has appeared this year.
The themes of the American films in this competition include the Gulf War, the main focus of European films has joined the Italian mafia, the Spanish Civil War, the reunification of Germany and other issues, and Yugoslavia launched the Kosovo War, and Russian films are historical themes.
As for the Chinese directors other than Li Sheng, Guan Jinpeng's "Sometimes Dancing" and Zhang Guoshi's "My Father and Mother" mainly rely on emotion, family love and human nature, which has always been what Chinese film directors are best at.
As for Li Sheng's "I Am Not Wang Mao", it stands on the perspective of war, I am afraid this is also the reason why Han Sanyu said that this session is different from usual, and he will have a chance!
According to the information, Li Sheng's biggest opponent is Denzel Washington from the United States, this person Li Sheng knows, because he is black, and he is an Oscar winner, but after this year, Li Sheng remembers the shock and heart-to-heart shock of watching Denzel's hurricane in his previous life.
I'm Rubin Carter, Black Hurricane, Rubin Carter!
At that time, this sentence provided Li Sheng with the opportunity to continue to move slowly on Xiao Suo's music road, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to stand with his former idols and compete for the same trophy.
Li Sheng felt that he was not qualified, he felt that he had no chance, but he also wanted it, wanted this trophy.
Please, this is the trophy of the three major film festivals, and it is the first time that a Chinese filmmaker has been shortlisted for this award!
The most important thing is that at such a juncture, the strange attitude of Feige's family is still making Li Sheng entangled in his heart, and he is gone again, if he doesn't get any gain, it is not shameless to face Jiangdong's father.
Therefore, this time, you must have some gains, it depends on your luck, and whether you can get into the eyes of the jury.
If you can, this will definitely be a big gain, according to the path and plan that Han Sanye formulated for him before, that is, to build him, Zhongying needs others to see their ability and strength, and also needs someone to support the field.
Li Sheng later also knew about the other two directors who were favored by China Film at that time, of course, Li Sheng at that time couldn't compare, one was Chen Kaige, and the other was a small steel cannon, which happened to be an art and a business.
But Xiaogang Cannon is obviously the kind of more stubborn, very paranoid in his bones, I will shoot whatever I want, and I am unwilling to succumb to and fit the melody of the film, such as the main theme, so Li Sheng has a chance.
In addition, there is no conflict between what China Film seeks and Li Sheng's plan or the route to be taken in the future, Li Sheng is simple, make money, make money, just make money!
But recently, it's not recent, it was when Li Sheng considered Fei Ge's birthday when he was filming Huo Yuanjia that he had the idea of filming with Fei Ge, and after some careful consideration, he felt that it would be good if Fei Ge was made an award-winning actress.
Anyway, she is actually more interested in literary films, as for the director or something, it doesn't matter, when she finishes her love in the next life, it is estimated that she will dispel this idea.
Of course, you have to take your time, and the biggest question now is whether you will be as lucky as you were at the last San Sebastian Film Festival during this trip to Berlin!
After being woken up by Li Sheng once, Shu Qi didn't really fall asleep, but wanted to see what kind of thing this thing around him was, and he didn't understand the charm at all!
Li Sheng must have gone to Berlin to participate in the film festival, but she didn't seem to have heard of him, but he still looked like he was still the same.
This sentiment persisted until they got off the plane.
……
When the two arrived in Munich and got off the bus, it was already morning, of course, it was the morning in China.
The time difference between Beijing and Berlin is about six hours, and Munich at this time is still early in the morning, and it is only slightly bright.
Out of the airport in Munich, Li Sheng saw the people who came to pick him up, and sure enough, it was Germany, and the cars that came to pick him up were VW Volkswagen.
Shu Qi has become a little obedient now, if Li Sheng didn't come to the film festival, he wouldn't really be so troublesome to transfer from Munich to Berlin, if so, he should not be a nobody if he can have such a big movement and pomp and make people wait to pick him up.
In other words, she is more curious about Li Sheng, and she can't wait to see what Li Sheng can do at this film festival. (To be continued.) )
