The 56th Berlin International Film Festival was organized by Charlotte. Sailly served as the president of the jury of the main competition.

She is a British actress who often wears a black dress to various occasions, and although she is almost 60 years old, she still has a charm when she walks.

There is a film appreciation course in Yanying Academy, in which the movies are complicated, but whether they are domestic or foreign, whether they have been released or banned underground, they will be screened as internal appreciation materials.

Among them Charlotte. Sally's "The Little Tailor" is a movie that every class of students can't avoid.

The film "The Little Tailor" tells the story of civilians living in hell in the ruins of Germany after World War II, and the core of the story is the post-war reflection, even decades later this year, it is a very classic anti-war movie.

The film was a sensation when it was released, not only did it shine at the 10th Berlin International Film Festival, but it also made the young and beautiful Charlotte . Sailly stepped onto the stage of an era, not only amazed everyone present at the time with her beauty, but also convinced a group of tricky judges with her deep-rooted acting skills, so as to win the well-deserved Best Actress that year!

Some people think it was the pinnacle of her life.

But no one could have imagined that this was just the beginning.

Thereafter......

Charlotte. Sally is like a heaven chasing and feeding, and has made movies such as "Peace and War", "Assassin", "Voyager" and other word-of-mouth box office double harvests, and once swept the three major European international film festivals from the 60s to the 80s, which amazed an era......

Since then, he has been silent for more than ten years because of family problems, no longer participating in major film festivals, and even the award invitation is on the grounds of busy housework, refusing all activities related to the movie, and even living in seclusion, and even living in a simple place, and even a decent life photo The paparazzi can't see it.

Many filmmakers feel a pity.

But I feel in my heart that maybe this is the best ending, at the best age, leaving the most beautiful back for the film industry, which is better than the twilight of the hero and the white-headed beauty!

Twenty years, vicissitudes.

Just when many young people no longer remember this gorgeous woman, a movie suddenly pulled her into the public eye again......

The movie is called "Gunfire".

The film was shortlisted for the 72nd Academy Awards, and Charlotte . Sally appears in the Oscar nomination for Best Actress......

When she appeared at the awards ceremony in an evening dress, there was a sensation at the scene, and many people stood up to pay tribute. Bont kissed his hand even more excitedly, like a child......

Everyone never dreamed that the old lady who was always amiable, but was actually the biggest boss of the whole movie, turned out to be Charlotte. Played by Sally.

…………………………

February 10.

"There are a lot of Chinese films that have signed up for this year's exhibition......"

Sunny afternoon.

In the office, Charlotte. Sailly received a lot of calls from Huaxia.

After answering the phone, she had mixed feelings.

She opened last year's Berlin International Film Festival to sign up for films.

She found that a total of ten Chinese films signed up for the exhibition last year, and three films were nominated, but no Chinese film was seen in the final awards.

This year's films are even more exaggerated!

From last year's ten movies directly to twenty movies, it has directly doubled......

Do these Chinese directors think that the more films they sign up for, the more nominations they can get, and then the higher the probability of winning awards?

As long as it is a big-budget film that has a little bit to do with literature and art, it will be stuffed into the film festival in one go, and after it is stuffed, it will look for connections and make phone calls, invite the judges of the jury, acquaintances to various dinners, parties, and even bring gifts in person, and bring some heavyweight actors to visit......

She once felt that these Chinese directors were a little stunned!

But then, he smiled helplessly.

In fact, it's not just the directors in Huaxia who do this, but many other directors do this, and there are more exaggerated forms.

For a moment......

Charlotte. Sally had another indescribable sense of disappointment.

She felt that she didn't know when the Berlin International Film Festival began to slowly change its taste.

From the beginning of the purely selected film awards, it has gradually begun to become a "favor" award, and the number of shortlisted places at the Berlin International Film Festival has even become a "transaction".

She also feels that many people around her are constantly eroding the authority of the Berlin International Film Festival in various ways.

But it's ......

She is powerless to change the situation.

"Doodoo"

Her phone rang.

She subconsciously answered the phone.

"Dear Zhou, are you in Berlin today?"

“……”

"Okay, huh...... I don't have to have dinner, I'll have a meeting later...... I'll be honest with you, I hope our friendship doesn't have anything else to do......"

“……”

"Of course, I will give priority to discussing the ...... of "Sengoku" at the meeting, and I will be in first place!"

“……”

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte. Seli silently opened the copy of "Warring States" and looked at it carefully......

…………………………

The Spring Festival in 06 is the month of domestic film protection.

Foreign blockbusters can't get in, and basically the ones who fight on the field are domestic movies.

In the past, there were many Chinese blockbusters in the Spring Festival file, but since the collapse of "Tianji" and the box office and word-of-mouth of many movies in the second half of 05, the entire Spring Festival file in 06 is gloomy.

are basically semi-comedy, semi-local New Year movies such as "Alone in Liangshan", "The Second in the World", and "Village Officials' New Year".

Of course, the box office of the Chinese New Year movie joined by veteran comedy stars Fan Yi and Zhang Bende is not bad, basically breaking 7 million yuan on the same day, and the highest "Village Official's New Year" reached a box office of 9 million on the first day of its premiere!

The overall quality of the movie is not too bad, and after entering the cinema, the audience can also be amused by a few burdens and laugh a few times.

However, after watching the movie, let you recall what the plot in the movie was......

A lot of people don't remember!

Especially in the movie "Village Official's New Year", the only thing they remember is that the first half of the movie is really funny, and a large sensational clip suddenly appeared in the second half, which ended in the plot of Hello, Hello, Hello, Everyone's Reunion and Dumplings.

Special!

And more than one movie has this kind of dumpling-making ending, and the comedy martial arts movie called "The Second in the World" also wraps dumplings.

Can't be disappointed......

It's just a pity.

Without the ravages of foreign blockbusters, although the box office of domestic films and the income of filmmakers are protected, at least they can have a good year, but the audience always feels that there is something missing.

Instead, they became interested in the next few films from mid-February to March.

The two movies "Hero" and "Warring States", the former one was filmed by Shen Changwei, a director of the fifth generation, for two years, and even directly spent a huge amount of 200 million to build a Qin King City for this movie! The latter is the movie "Warring States" shot by Zhou Yilin, a commercial director of the fifth generation, with a group of big names......

The publicity of "Warring States" and "Hero" is almost overwhelming, even better than the previous "Tianji"!

The subway platform, major TV variety shows, tidbits and advertisements in major theaters, scandals and hot searches between various stars are full of shadows of these two movies.

The departments concerned have turned a blind eye and even relaxed some conditions in a very unusual way.

The situation of Chinese films is not good.

The failure of "Tianji" has hit the morale of domestic blockbusters, although there is no Hollywood director to ridicule domestic blockbusters, but Chinese fans are more or less disappointed, and self-deprecation and discouragement against our Chinese films can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and many people are even scolding the leaders of relevant departments, thinking that they are blind and raising some garbage......

The leaders of Huaxia are also under pressure, feeling that their faces are dull, and they urgently need a few movies to return blood and save face......

"The day of the expedition of domestic films!"

"Twenty domestic films have officially landed in Berlin!"

"This year is the most promising year for domestic films, a breakthrough in historical character!"

"The reason why I set "Warring States" in March is not for anything else, but to fight against the Hollywood film "Pirates" directed by Pitt, we are old rivals, and at the Berlin International Film Festival, I will meet Pete!"

“……”

“……”

In addition to the overwhelming publicity, the Berlin International Film Festival is also a direction for the promotion of domestic films.

Whether it is Zhou Yilin or Shen Changwei, both of them are reckless and energetic to sprint for the Berlin International Film Festival, waiting for the announcement of the final finalists.

Compared with......

"Mine Bottom" seems very humble, there is no big publicity, and there is no content to create momentum, no one knows what kind of movie it is, and no one cares what kind of movie it is.

Many people just glanced at the registration list, and then found Zhou Yang, a strange rookie director.

And then?

No then.

Every year, there are many new directors who apply for Berlin without their own strength, and they can't pay attention to every single one, right?

……………………

Zhou Yang didn't care about any of this.

For him, "Mine Bottom" is just a small journey, and he has completed everything in this journey, and has already gotten off.

As for the outcome in the future, Zhou Yang didn't care.

There are a lot of things that you can't control, and the more hope you have, the greater your hope in the end.

The original space-time "Blind Well" actually won the award, this time and space ......

There are too many competitors, and all kinds of human feelings and sophistication are mixed in it, all of them are red-eyed, and no one can say anything.

After the meeting that day, Zhou Yang agreed to Wang Shuai's invitation and joined the crew of "Crow".

However, he did not immediately roll into the group, but still stayed in the company, busy with the album "Girl with Wings"!

The album is set to be released on February 20.

Time is of the essence.

For this album, Wu Zhenhong dragged Zhou Yang into the recording studio every day to try out songs, and tortured Jiang Shushu over and over again!

But there is no doubt that Jiang Shushu is a lucky one.

In order to open up the situation in the music industry, Huaxing Company naturally spent a lot of money to make albums for her, and even spent money to buy some water armies on the Internet to cooperate with the hype......

…………………………

February 15th.

On the eve of the release of the movie "Youth", there was a knock on the door in An Xiao's office.

Subsequently, Zhong Tingting, her newly recruited assistant last month, had red circles in her eyes, lowered her head, as if she had been greatly wronged, and ran in in a little panic.

"Mr. An, something happened."

"What's wrong?"

"Manager Xu smashed the computer in the editing room, scolded everyone, and threatened to beat Zhou Yang, and now he is driving in the direction of the recording studio, we can't stop it......"

"What!" After hearing the news, An Xiao stood up instantly, and his face changed greatly!

It was at this time......

Her phone rang.

She subconsciously picked up her phone.

"Sengoku, the first round of review was eliminated by Berlin......"
