Sohu.com's new creation, the most lacking is content. After reaching an agreement with "Mountains and Seas", a "Sundance Film Festival Feature" was immediately created, focusing on the first Sundance Film Festival trip of Chinese films.

This time there is a picture and the truth, and the situation scene of the American people lining up in a hundred meters long to buy tickets in the cold wind is enough to make netizens feel a sense of national pride. Happy to hold a press conference, talk in front of dozens of cameras, and hold the trophy high when winning the award...... and so on, all of which have become the best materials. Even the editor-in-chief lamented that if every company was so professional, they would be willing to cooperate. After all, most film companies can't afford to take the initiative to ask for reports, and artists can't afford to lose that person. Mountain & Sea has set a precedent.

People can't believe that such a young man with a tender face is actually a director, and his first film won an international award?!

The director, in the Chinese film and television industry, is the top of the pyramid, and in people's impression, the director should be a wise old man with white hair, or a middle-aged man who is not smiling. It is really rare for this young and handsome young man who is younger than the actor to look at him to be also a director.

The American media received rave reviews, such as the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Times, and were also selected as one of the "40 best movies in a century".

After all, it has returned now, and the Hong Kong media have also reported that "the best feature film director at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States is a fan of Xingye, and the acceptance speech uses Xingye's classic lines......"

Well, it's expected.

The endless stream of reports has gradually attracted the attention of the public.

At first, some people thought that it was another film that scandalized China to win the appreciation of foreigners, but they didn't expect the translated American reviews to be mostly "full of emotion, a sunshine show, looking for hope" and the like, and I couldn't help but be curious.

Under the deliberate promotion of "Mountains and Seas", this Christmas Film Festival, which is not very familiar in China, has gradually become popular. At least everyone in the circle knows that a 20-year-old director who has just returned from studying abroad has won three awards at the American Film Festival for his first film. And it is the most difficult market for Chinese films to conquer, winning the recognition of American audiences.

The old man also deliberately set off a string of firecrackers, for fear that the neighbors would not know.

In the Chinese opera school, Liu Ye is a good match, and when he meets an acquaintance, he is happy, "Liu Ye, I heard that the broken movie you acted in won the award, is it really fake?" ”

"What is a broken movie, it smells sour when you hear this." Liu Ye was still unhappy, and said angrily: "Winning an award is winning an award, the reports have come out, and there can be fakes." Sue sù, three awards, unprecedented, Americans lined up 100 meters long to buy tickets to watch the movie in the cold wind. ”

There are unconvinced people who can't get used to Liu Ye's disdain, and they say: "What's bullish, isn't it an American independent film award, and it's not an award at the three major European film festivals." ”

"Hey, I'm grumpy. If you have the ability, you can take one, they are two years younger than you. ”

"Liu Ye, how is your relationship with the director?" Someone behind him suddenly asked.

Liu Ye habitually brags, "We have a good relationship, iron buddy, I was thanked for my acceptance speech...... Eh, how are you, Mr. Chang. ”

Chang Li walked over with a smile and said, "Just ask, can you ask the director to make a tape and put it in the school." Liu Ye was a little embarrassed: "This, I'm afraid it won't work, Mr. Chang, the movie has been reviewed, and it will definitely be released nationwide at that time, and it doesn't seem good to release it in advance......"

"Ouch, it's the teacher who didn't think it through." Although Chinese opera is a palace of art, she does not dare to take the responsibility of leaking the tape in advance. Even if she can guarantee that if you are not related to you, why should people believe you.

"It's okay, when the director comes back from Berlin, I'll ask, maybe it can be done."

"If the relationship is good, please leave it to you."

……

"Really won the prize?!"

Han Sanpin in the Beijing Film Studio asked Yu Dong with surprise, he read the report on the "Beijing News", and the acceptance speeches of the two happy appearances were reported word for word. He is very concerned that in the list of thanks above, there are still the names of "Mr. Han and Mr. Yu".

"It's true. Mr. Han, this ...... If you don't want to take the initiative to contact contact, the province will be preempted by other factories. ”

Han Sanpin pretended to sigh: "The future is terrifying." Let's get in touch and discuss it. There will always be cooperation in the future, can you put forward any opinions, there is no need to engage in old and dead not to see each other. Xiaoyu, you are responsible for this matter. ”

"Okay."

Yu Dong called on the spot, and hung up after chatting for a few words, with a very wonderful expression on his face.

"How... Young and vigorous, disagree, have an opinion? After all, I didn't even watch other people's movies at the beginning, so I sent them away as if I was asking for food, and Han Sanpin also blushed. Xindao, I haven't sat in the right seat yet, if someone gossips behind my back, it's also a thing, and it's worth being vigilant.

"Not really. They went to Berlin again, and I heard that they were invited by the organizers to participate in the exhibition. ”

“……”

This year marks the 48th edition of the Berlinale and features more than 3,000 films.

These film sources are divided into two parts, one part is to sign up for the exhibition and distribute it as a forum, and the other part is invited by the organizer. The opening ceremony is usually brief, followed by a dozen or so days of free screening time for journalists, spectators and filmmakers. Finally, there is the closing ceremony, which is the award ceremony. Usually the organizer will say hello to certain crews in advance and hold them back, which means that you have a good chance of winning the award. If you haven't been retained, it's better to go home with a hemp roll.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the sky in Berlin was gray and the temperature was absolutely below freezing. It makes the already gray city even colder. But those beautiful and frozen female stars are bitter, and they immediately put on coats after walking the red carpet one by one, otherwise they will freeze into popsicles.

Compared with the scarcity of Chinese faces at the Sundance Film Festival, the number of Chinese faces at the Berlin Film Festival has increased several times. As far as he knows, Chinese films are participating in Jia Zhangke's famous work "Xiao Wu", Guan Jinpeng's "The Happier the More Depraved", Chen Chong's "Heavenly Bath", and a Taiwanese film Lin Zhengsheng's "Wandering". In addition, there is Xu Anhua's "Half Life", but the chances of being shortlisted for the competition unit project are not great.

This foil immediately highlights the status of "Grand Central Station". After all, winning three awards at the just-concluded Sundance Film Festival has been reported by many media in the United States, and it has received rave reviews.

Happy also saw a name named Leslie Zhang on the list of judges, it was Leslie Cheung, and last year's Chinese judge was Maggie Cheung.

The opening film of this year's film festival was the American film "The Boxer". Director Jim Sheridan won the Golden Bear in 1994 for "In the Name of the Father".

The premiere of "The Boxer" was very heavy, however, after watching it, the audience's reaction was very small, and the reviews were very mediocre.

This will be followed by a number of other invited films, which will be screened on the first day. Happy Lao Yuan saw a Chinese face in the judges, but unfortunately he was also busy, and Zhang Zhengwu and Luo Kedi were busy and dizzy, and they didn't have time to set up a relationship, so one more vote is one vote.

When it came to the premiere of "Grand Central Station", Happy was wearing a black Armani suit, standing between Zhang Zhengwu and Luo Kedi, which was as dazzling as gold. Young, handsome, and sunny temperament.

The clothes, including the temporary BMW car, were sponsored by the organizing committee's official partners, BMW AG and Armani. Otherwise, according to his happy personality, he would definitely wear back the same uniform he wore at Sundance. Not every crew can be sponsored, and if it weren't for the fact that "Grand Central Station" has just attracted hot reviews in the United States, these products will never come to the door.

As a film that has just made a splash at an independent film festival, the specifications are also quite high.

De Hatton, the chairman of the festival, Ben Kingsley, the chairman of the jury, Gregor, the chairman of the forum, and several jurors visited together, which is almost the specification of the opening film. Obviously, "The Boxer" is quite embarrassing, and it is urgent to find a new masterpiece to replace it, and the well-known "Grand Central Station" has naturally become the first choice.
