Chapter 56: Zhang Genshui pretended to be forced
Pretty much above.
Some Chinese filmmakers in this world have an indescribable and inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
Even this sentiment has reached a level of obsession that borders on fanaticality.
Since the early 90s, as soon as these people heard that there was an overseas film festival in any country, they would rush to sign up and spend money through the back door, even if they bought a pheasant award with a bluffing name, and before the awards, they wore all kinds of eye-catching clothes on the red carpet, showing off their scalps tingling.
If I was really lucky to win an award with a little weight like Best Director and Best Actor, they will pretend to be emotional on major social media and public platforms on the spot to post some words and pictures, which will definitely be accompanied by a series of testimonials and mental journeys, as well as a group photo with a famous international director and international superstar at the film festival......
And after sending it, I was afraid that no one would know that I had won the award, so I spent money to invite a group of media and water armies to hype up and build momentum for myself, creating a kind of impression that they returned from an overseas expedition and conquered that group of foreigners with film art......
Hey!
Do you think they're ridiculous and sad?
Then you'd be wrong!
Many investors who have been fooled and lame just eat this very much, and after seeing a certain director and a certain star winning the award, they immediately ran over to talk to the agent about business cooperation, so that their films can also be stained with the high quality of international superstars......
Outrageous, you say?
In such a speechless and slightly sick environment, the three major film festivals in Europe are directly praised by many Chinese directors and stars as the holy land of films, and they try every means to make it through various channels!
Even if you don't have a work, it's good to stand outside the venue and rub the red carpet!
Among the three major international film festivals in Europe, the most high-profile is the Berlin International Film Festival.
This is not!
The shortlisted awards have not been announced, and many female celebrities in sexy clothes with their public relations teams have already come inside and started to take various photos on the scene.
Why?
Because it's precious!
Because so far, no Chinese director or actor has ever won an award, and he has been on the expedition for decades, rushing over with the greatest hope every year, and then coming back with his head drooping.
Nima, until now, this award is still in an embarrassing vacancy, and she hasn't won a single award.
"Commenting on Berlin: More than 20 Chinese films have been registered for the exhibition this year, setting the highest ...... in Berlin's history"
"Hero" director Shen Changwei was interviewed by reporters: This year's Berlin will be the most noisy Berlin, and I will present the most perfect martial arts art and culture ...... to foreigners."
"Tianji" is suspected to be officially shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival? Director Chen Kai mocked domestic fans in public for their lack of quality and lack of aesthetic art. ”
Zhou Yilin was interviewed by a reporter from Berlin: He has been invited to be the guest of honor and will be with Charlotte. Sailly welcomed all Chinese compatriots on the stage together, talking about "Warring States", there may be a conflict between the award presenters and the shortlisted awards, and there is no guest and finalist in Berlin's history at the same time, so we can only focus on the same ......"
"Hong Kong Island director Hui Long: 'The Town' will be a touching film......
“……”
“……”
The shortlisted films for this year's Berlin International Film Festival have not yet been officially announced.
But......
All kinds of hype and momentum are already flying all over the sky.
There is a mixture of truth and falsehood, and no one knows.
Especially on the eve of the list to be revealed, the more this messy news becomes.
Among them, the news of the great directors Chen Kai and Zhou Yilin is the hottest!
There is too much ridicule of him in the domestic media for his mess.
The great director Chen Kai and Chen Kai were ridiculed so much that they couldn't bear it, and finally scolded the Chinese reporters in Berlin, and even began to say some angry words to fans under the leadership of some rhythms......
And Chen Kai didn't have the posture of a big director at all, so he went straight to the scene, the more he scolded, the more fierce he became, and even came up with a lawyer's letter, saying that these people were insulting him, and he wouldn't let anyone go!
The popularity of this great director in China once swept all major social software.
As for Zhou Yilin?
Director Zhou's popularity is even more violent!
On the morning of the 16th, he deliberately arranged an interview with reporters, announcing that he was invited by the Berlin International Film Festival and became the only guest from China on the stage......
This announcement!
The media are crazy!
Award presenters!
What concept, special, otherworldly, okay?
This is a kind of display of international status, okay?
Who is better than this?
And!
Is it the best presenter of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution?
Damn!
This is the main competition unit award second only to the Golden Bear Award, it has a recognized authority and great influence in the world film industry, and is an important award to recognize the world's outstanding film artists!
Seeing Zhou Yilin so good, a group of fanatical moviegoers who are good friends with Zhou Yilin are very excited. It's tidal.
"As we all know, there has never been a director who has been shortlisted for a film to be the guest of honor in Berlin!"
"Zhou Yilin and Zhou Dao, about to create Berlin history!"
"What a long face!"
"Our generation of filmmakers has waited too long for this day!"
"It's a hint, it's a hint, you know! Fit? ”
"We're about to break zero!"
“……”
They hyped it up in the major media, and they didn't leave Director Zhou, as if they were standing on the podium instead of Zhou Yilin!
Under this momentum, many people have the illusion that this year's Berlin International Film Festival will not only sweep away the previous decline and break zero awards, but even Chinese films will be particularly slaughtered!
Can the heat not be terrifying?
However......
Reality is sometimes so disgusting!
February 16 at noon.
There's bad news from Berlin!
Among the twenty movies that Huaxia signed up, ten of them have been killed by Charlotte on the spot. Sally brushed it off alone.
Including some well-known directors and works with high hopes.
For example, "Town" by Bruce Tsui, a cutting-edge director on Taiwan Island, "Lonely Island" by female literary film director Zhao Xue, and "Gun" by Liu Jiashang, an undercover film directed by Liu Jiashang on Hong Kong Island.
It's all brushed!
In the afternoon, another batch of Chinese films was brushed down, and even many media secretly photographed that some directors had returned from Berlin ahead of schedule, and said with a frosty face that they were very tired and would not accept any kind of interview from any media for the time being!
In addition to the director, many stars who participated in the movie also returned to China one after another, and finally caught an interview, but the final content was nothing to comment.
This undoubtedly gave many expectant filmmakers and fans a bad premonition.
Wait until late afternoon!
When Berlin officially announced this year's shortlist......
A lot of people have a broken mentality.
"Grass!"
"What's the situation, last year, ten films were registered, three were shortlisted, and this year's twenty films were registered, but only two films were shortlisted?"
"That's special, the audit is too strict!"
"I can understand the movie "Hero", this is the ambition of Shen Changwei and Director Shen, he has put in a lot of hard work, I can understand!"
"But why was "Sengoku" eliminated? Is it because Director Zhou was invited to be the guest of honor? That's a loss, Director Zhou, how can the award presenters be shortlisted for the award-winning incense! ”
"What's the situation!"
"What is this 'Mine Bottom'? What's going on? Was this film shortlisted? Director Zhou Yang? Who is Zhou Yang! Haven't heard of it! ”
“……”
on the web.
Many filmmakers stared at the movie "Mine Bottom" with wide eyes and ghosts.
They were at a loss for the movie.
They searched frantically on the Internet, but they just couldn't find any information about the film, as if it appeared out of thin air.
As for director Zhou Yang?
There are many people with the same name and surname, but the director Zhou Yang's information can't be found!
Just when everyone was at a loss and a little stunned......
An interview news of a coal boss hit the hot search of major media in just a few hours!
"I don't know much about movies......"
"At first, I just wanted to ask Director Zhou to make a commemorative film about me and Xiaoli, how could I ...... What Berlin is suddenly shortlisted? ”
"I heard that the award is awesome?"
