Michelle, the big fat man, is the current chairman of Berlin Film Company.

Eight years ago, Michelle took over the family business from his father. The first film he invested in after taking office was a great success, winning the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival that year.

The next year, Ivan approached him with a movie script.

In fact, Michelle was not optimistic about the movie "Beast Tamer", because Ivan has always made literary films, and the film "Beast Tamer" is neither a subject matter that he is good at, nor a pure commercial film, to say that it is a war film, but there are no war scenes in the whole film.

With such a vague type and old-fashioned theme, it stands to reason that Michelle will never invest in it.

But when Michelle learns that Ivan almost broke his family for the film, he finally moves a heart of compassion that a businessman should not have.

For this, Michelle paid a big price.

In the past 7 years, Ivan asked him for a total of about 12 million euros for this film, which is already a very large production cost in Europe.

Fortunately, in order to make a living, Ivan also made 2 literary films for Berlin Film Company in the past seven years, and the box office was acceptable. It somewhat alleviates the problem of insufficient funds caused by investing in Animal Tamer.

And after this long wait, Michelle almost didn't have too many expectations for the film "Animal Tamer", and just thought about recovering the cost.

After all, a director who has been engaged in the creation of literary films for a long time has little chance of making a film that can reflect on war and surnames at the same time.

After Ivan introduced Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing to Michelle, Michelle shook hands with Wang Kefan with some disapproval, but Michelle showed considerable enthusiasm for oriental beauties like Guo Yujing.

The two people who followed Michelle were Judit, the artistic director of Berlin Film Company, and Andrés, the marketing director.

A group of six people, after simply getting to know each other, seized the time to go up to the top floor of the building.

On the top floor of Berlinfilm there is a small theater with a capacity of 100 people.

The crew had already prepared the film, and the six of them sat in the third row, which was the most suitable for viewing.

When the lights were turned off, the room was pitch black.

Ivan took a small deep breath and tried to relax himself.

After the finished film came out of the production company, although he watched it on the computer once, the feeling of watching the movie alone on the computer and seeing it on the movie screen is completely different.

Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing are also a little heartbeat at this time.

Don't care, it's impossible. The quality of the film will determine its box office and word of mouth, which is a truth that even primary school students should understand.

It's Michelle, but it's the three of them, and they don't care about it.

A film that has been made for seven years and can't define the genre, how good can it be? Maybe the whole film is the director's own talk. In the film industry, such things can be described as endless.

Even when the room darkened, Michelle was already beginning to calculate in his heart what way to let Ivan repay the debt if he couldn't recover the cost.

And just after the room was dark for 5 seconds, with the appearance of bright lights, everyone's attention was finally shifted to the screen.

The first scene on the screen is a frontal close-up of a resolute teenager.

Then, the camera gradually recedes, revealing the boy's whole body.

The image of a heavily armed soldier was presented in front of Michelle's eyes.

"The Jews will destroy the world, and to kill the Jews is to protect the world."

A simple sentence from the inner voice of the teenager made Michelle unconsciously serious.

Six people, staring at the picture quietly, did not make any extra sound except for breathing.

Wang Kefan's editing is really perfect.

No extra shots, no extra dialogue. The transition between shots is accurate and coherent, and the jumping narrative technique is not a little jerky, so that people can understand it at once.

The teenager jumped back and forth from the concentration camp, and the back and forth between the two time and space made Michelle slowly have a sense of anticipation for the plot that followed. The urine that was originally held in the bladder was actually forcibly endured.

However, after only 5 minutes of watching, Michelle's buttocks, as if they were nailed to a chair, did not move at all, his eyes were glued to the screen, and he was completely immersed in the film.

"Oh my God, these people are crazy, aren't they? If we want a cannon without butter, do we live by eating cannons? ”

...... "Why do humans kill each other?" Wouldn't it be better if they were all trying to stay alive and put down their guns and help each other? ”

...... "The instructor may have a point...... Maybe it's really only by killing some people that we can end and restore order to the world......"

...... "Big brother, did your parents also die in the war?" ”

"yes...... War kills the dead and the living......"

"Someone alive?"

"yes...... Bang! ”

...... "Dad, don't you think our lives are all messed up?" Hitler deprived us of the order of life that normal people should have, and he was stupid to do so! It's a stupid war! ”

…… After the last sentence was finished, Michelle had not completely come out of the film, and a melodious melody sounded.

Everyone came back to their senses, quietly listened to this humming without lyrics, closed their eyes, and the countless shots they had seen before seemed to be sung one by one by singing.

The video ends, and the staff list slowly comes out.

With the singing, everyone read the staff list from beginning to end.

Wang Kefan looked at the clip that flashed above and the name of the original song of the theme song, and couldn't help but be slightly moved.

The last syllable of the song ended, and the lights in the room came back on.

After a long silence, Michelle was the first to slowly clapping her palms.

Immediately afterward, everyone else applauded.

Ivan applauded mechanically, looking at the empty screen, his face blank, he couldn't believe that he had made this movie.

Michelle let out a long sigh, turned to Ivan beside him and said, "Mr. Ivan, congratulations, this is a successful work." ”

Ivan nodded, and Michelle asked the man sitting on the other side of him, "What do you think, Judit?" ”

Yudit thought for a moment and said, "We should be able to catch up with this year's Cannes Film Festival." ”

"Where's Andres?"

The bearded marketing director hesitated for a moment and said, "The box office will prove the greatness of Director Ivan." ”

At this time, Ivan suddenly got up, walked up to Wang Kefan, and bowed deeply to him under the incomprehensible gaze of Michelle and others.

The old director's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "Thank you." ”
