Speaking of Zhao Zongze, the vast majority of Chinese people will definitely regret infinitely that it was a loss for the entire country to force out such a genius because of the selfish interests of some people. Although later the relevant personnel were also swept to the end. But there is no second Zhao Zongze in China.

Song Yan had also had two opportunities to meet Zhao Zongze before, although he couldn't talk deeply, Zhao Zongze's impression of her should be not bad.

Zhao Zongze is undoubtedly a very bold and charming person, saying that he is attractive is not a superficial indication of how handsome and radiant his appearance is, but his personality, which exudes from the inside out.

He has admired and been obsessed with Huaguoxia culture for decades, and he has almost frantically integrated it into every detail of his life and work......

But it was such a person who suffered the disaster of being known as the first of the top ten unjust cases in the history of Chinese films, and finally led him to leave Chinese nationality and throw himself into the arms of a permanent neutral country.

For more than ten years since the incident, he has almost always kept silent about the past, and it was not until the year before last that Zhao Zongze finally accepted an interview with an international newspaper and talked to the public for the first time about this taboo topic that has lasted for more than ten years, and choked up several times in the middle.

"The biggest regret in this life is that I can no longer say that I am Chinese!"

Therefore, to be able to meet Zhao Zongze again, Song Yan is not only for his own movie, but also for the respect and almost pious worship of this unbending old-timer.

The director of "T-Junction" also understands what it means to meet Zhao Zongze at this moment, if Song Yan can really be crowned at the Linde Film Festival, it will definitely be a hundred miles and no harm to the crew of "T-Junction", so not only did he let him go very happily, but also gave him three days off very generously, even if the other party's destination was only the next city next door with a round-trip journey of only five hours.

Think about it, "International actress Song Yan joins in!" ”…… , the picture is not too beautiful, and the box office is even more interesting!

On the way there, Song Yan, who was dressed in formal clothes, was like an ordinary fan who was about to meet an idol, and her heart was pounding excitedly.

"Sister Wen," while she was nervous, she suddenly remembered a very critical question, "It's April now, will it affect me if I meet Director Zhao at this time?" ”

It's about to enter the final judging stage of the Linde Film Festival, and it won't be beautiful if someone deducts a hat for favoritism.

"Huh?" Wen Tang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Don't worry, everyone is like this." ”

This time it was Song Yanfa's turn to be stunned, "Hey?!" ”

With this, Wen Tang popularized some □□ for her that even ordinary big names may not know.

The Linde Film Festival has a history of nearly a century, and although there have been several twists and turns, and even a lot of changes in the classification of films, the basic award system has long been perfected.

The Linde Film Festival has five top jury, which make up the final verdict on the shortlisted films, which are reviewed by the junior jury and a partial audience jury.

The five judges are elected from different countries and serve a non-renewable term of two years each, but there is no limit to the total number of terms they can serve.

So, there is a small way here.

Even if he is from a different country, the judge is also a human being, and he must have a nationality, right? When anyone faces competition from foreign countries, they will more or less burst out with a sense of national honor, just like the default rules of all walks of life, and they must give the organizers some benefits, right? You have to save face for the hosts......

Therefore, if the strength of the finalists is very different, it will be fine, but if they are all in the middle of the match, the judges will inevitably tilt the balance in their minds towards their own motherland, or the country with their own special feelings, or even the actors.

Especially this kind of thing is really hard to say, just like heroes in history always like to appear in groups, excellent films often have a blowout effect after several years of silence, which makes fans addicted and makes many judges sad.

And this year, that's exactly what happened.

I don't know if a few directors and screenwriters have made an appointment or what, under various coincidences, there are many excellent works in this year's entries, there are three strong competitors in Asia alone, and there are several European countries known as the mecca of literary films, adding up to nine films!

However, there are only six places for each award to enter the final jury.

Nine excellent films, each with its own strengths, especially those who have reached their realm, are really only a fraction of a centimeter apart, and even this gap is due to personal preference.

In other words, no matter which one you choose in the end, basically the outside world can't say anything.

So, in this case, the opinion of the Supreme Jury is enough to decide life and death!

Coincidentally, this year is the second year that Zhao Zongze has served as a judge again, and the country where he is now a citizen does not have competitive good works shortlisted, so he will compete no matter what.

However, he is not the only one who has this idea, another judge on the jury whose home country has also been selected, and another is a mixed-race child with dual nationality......

After April 15th, the five members of the jury will break off contact with anyone related to the entries and move on to the final debate stage.

It's a debate, because if nothing else, there's only one winner, and it's up to you to convince the other four colleagues and competitors.

Therefore, how to ensure that you are not fooled by your opponent while taking advantage of the opponent is definitely a difficult task that tests your IQ, emotional intelligence, body and brainpower.

Zhao Zongze is in his fifties this year, his hair has turned gray, but his spine is still straight. He refused to dye his hair, and under the frost-mottled hair was a pair of eyes that were still black, shining with Zhao Zongze's unique heroism and determination.

As soon as his figure appeared, Wen Tang greeted him, and the two hugged him a few times, and then sat down together.

They are very familiar with each other, when Zhao Zongze was framed and hidden, Wen Tang was the first to speak out to support, and Gu Su spared no effort to help dredge up and down, but he was helpless and never able to return to the sky.

Song Yan hurriedly got up, bowed, and stretched out his hands to shake hands, "Brother Zhao has worked hard, and I'm really ashamed to let you go all the way in your busy schedule." ”

It's really ashamed, she almost can't help but apologize to him!

It is this person who was once abandoned by the motherland who is still fighting for everyone without asking for anything in return......

Perhaps because of Wen Tang's help, Zhao Zongze had a very good impression of her, and he gave her the honor of being able to call herself Brother Zhao when they met for the second time. To this day, Qi Huang, including Song Yan, still feels flattered.

Zhao Zongze, who was wearing a down jacket very low-key, smiled when he saw her in a straight formal suit, and joked, "It's so formal, it's more and more flattering that an old man like me can't look at it." ”

Being teased by idols like this, Song Yan blushed embarrassedly.

The three people present did not like to beat around the bush, sat down separately, ordered hot coffee, and went straight to the point.

"One of the purposes for me to come back this time, I think Wen Tang also told you," Zhao Zongze covered his hands with a coffee cup and took the lead in opening, "Although I am personally more optimistic about you, it is obviously not enough to convince the other judges, you have to come up with something more powerful." ”

As mentioned earlier, the six films shortlisted this year will leave a strong mark in the history of film, to put it irresponsibly, there will be no consequences if you choose any one, and the only problem in front of you now is:

How do you convince your opponent to turn around and help you?

In this context, it is no longer good to simply judge the overall strength of the movie, so everyone can only fight the hole cards:

Look at the director, look at the qualifications, look at the past history, and look at the influence, development and upside of the actors......

Even if these are the same, everyone can continue to compare, compare the actors' reviews, character, and even age!

Those who are already seventy or eighty, don't compete with the young people, there will be a lifetime achievement award waiting for you in the future, and the opportunity will be left to the next generation.

After taking a few sips of coffee to dispel the chill, Zhao Zongze continued to analyze, "There has been no Grand Slam since ancient times, and we will not allow a situation where one family dominates, so if you want to achieve the final victory, you must give and take." ”

It's about himself, others are already so bothered, of course Song Yan can't be the shopkeeper, so he then said, "I also told Du Yun and Du Dao about this problem before, and we are already mentally prepared." Three of the nine films are men's plays, and they will certainly be chasing the Best Actor award, which is very little competitive in terms of Best Actress. And "Alai" and the other five are likely to compete for Best Actress, but two of them have an equal proportion of male and female protagonists, which is emotionally balanced for the audience, but it is a disadvantage in terms of winning awards. ”

In other words, if there are no accidents, the Best Actor award will be selected from those three films, and the Best Actress award will come from the other four!

Seeing that she had already done her homework, Zhao Zongze nodded with satisfaction, "The shooting technique of "Alai" is not new, and the integration of synopsis and scenes is not the first, the best director and best cinematography can basically be given up, but the best screenplay and the best foreign language film can still be competed for. ”

Song Yan was enthusiastic and ambitious when she said this, she exhaled deeply and nodded vigorously, "Hmm! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Wen Tang lost no time in harmonizing, "It's Director Du, he has been with him for so many worlds, and he is estimated to be disappointed again." ”

Zhao Zongze and Song Yan laughed out loud when they heard this, and the former waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, they have been running together for so many years, and it won't be bad if they run for a few more years, if they can make a queen in their own films, they are better than anything else." ”

The three of them couldn't help but imagine how Du Yun would react if Song Yan could really win......

In order to have as much "evidence" as possible, Zhao Zongze later specially asked Song Yan to record a short video with only eyes: express ten feelings within ten seconds.

Usually, when everyone praises an actor's acting skills, they often use a sentence: the whole body is a play. This shows the importance of facial expressions and body language.

And now, Zhao Zongze asked Song Yan to express his feelings with only a pair of eyes, so that people outside the camera could feel the atmosphere she rendered, which was not difficult.

Before leaving, Zhao Zongze told him: "Linde will never consider awarding the trophy to an actor with a strict character, so in the next few months, no matter what method you use, please be sure to maintain your image!" ”

The world is so big, there are many talented people, almost every year everyone hears words like "genius", but the vast majority of them usually die halfway, and very few can actually grow into superstars.

The reason for this result does not exclude external force majeure factors, but in □□, it is the laziness and depravity of the actor himself.

Although the meteor is beautiful, the more magnificent is obviously the dazzling star in the sky that will last forever!
