Although there were all kinds of accidents at the Berlin Film Festival this time.

But it has to be said that with many operations, this year's Berlin Film Festival has obviously succeeded in winning back the attention of the media.

The British film magazine "Screen", and the American "Hollywood Report" and "Variety" each sent a team of no less than 20 people to publish daily during the festival.

So after the premiere of "No Man's Land" ended, comments about "No Man's Land" had already appeared in the three major field magazines the next day.

……

This is a black fable of modern society!

This is a story about animals!

This is a rare masterpiece in Chinese films, interlocking and thought-provoking!

——[Screen]

——————————

The next day, in the hotel suite, when he saw "The Screen" commenting on "No Man's Land", Ning Hao was overjoyed.

Goofy knew why he was so happy.

Because this guy told Goofy two years ago that he wanted to tell a black fable about animals.

And now, he's finally done it.

It's just that the media's evaluation of the movie is not all good.

For example, "Hollywood Report" commented on "No Man's Land" very "average".

……

A botched Western imitation!

It can be seen from the director's camera movement that he wants to show the darkness of human nature, but he is still immature after all.

Not bloody enough, not cruel enough!

The director of "No Man's Land" should probably watch more movies by John Ford and Old Cowboy Insterwood, and it must be very rewarding!

——[Hollywood Report]

——————————

As for the other field magazine "Variety", it is decent, and it does not praise or belittle "No Man's Land" too much, but only evaluates the depth of the movie from the perspective of a film critic.

For this reason, the final score of "No Man's Land" is not very high, only 2.1 points.

Seeing that Ning Hao's face seemed to be a little disappointed, Xing Na on the side suddenly comforted:

"Don't think too much, they don't count, whether you can win the award in the end depends on how the judges choose!"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but nod and added:

"Not bad! Although "Hollywood Report" is as famous as "Variety" and "Screen", in fact, its professionalism is far less than that of the other two. ”

"It mainly inherits the American style, the first half is a short film review, and the second half is all kinds of lace news."

"Just listen to what they say, don't pay too much attention to it."

"And in the history of the Berlin Film Festival, there are many films that have been a hit but ended up with nothing!"

After the two of them said this, Ning Hao's expression was obviously much better.

But it's no wonder that he suffers so much, after all, aside from the previous hastily filmed "Search", this "No Man's Land" should be Ning Hao's first film shortlisted for the main competition unit of the three major film festivals.

In this way, it is no wonder that he has lost some of his temper.

So in order not to think about it, Gao Fei and Huang Bo simply ordered some German specialties such as charcoal-grilled pig's trotters, sour beef stew, smoked dark beer sausage, etc.

While eating and drinking, Ning Hao was drowned unconscious by the way.

And when Han Li and Xing Na came in again, they saw the three of them lying crookedly on the carpet, sleeping like dead pigs.

After trying to move a few times without success, Xing Na was so tired that she rolled her eyes helplessly, and then simply said to Han Li:

"Xiao Han, just let them sleep here, there is heating anyway!"

Fortunately, Han Li still has some conscience.

Seeing Xing Na say this, after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said:

"Wait, I'll get them a quilt!"

After that, she hurriedly ran into the room and got a quilt to cover the three of them, and then left with Xing Na with a snicker.

(⊙o⊙)… Obviously, Han Li has a conscience, but not much!

……

Early the next morning.

When Goofy trained Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in his dream, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why do these two white and tender girls feel so hard to the touch?

In fact, in dreams, Goofy can sometimes realize that he is dreaming.

But he is lazy and greedy for pleasure, and sometimes he doesn't want to wake up even if he knows it's a dream, he just wants to enjoy it again.

Just at this moment, just as Goofy was thinking about sleeping for a while, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming, so Goofy had to wake up from his dream reluctantly.

And when Goofy sat up with his stomach covered and confused, he found that he was sleeping on the carpet.

And...... What left him speechless the most was that he actually slept with two men for the night.

Just now, it was Huang Bo who unconsciously kicked him in his sleep and kicked him in the stomach, which surprised him from his dream.

Seeing this, Gao Fei was speechless for a moment.

Made, fortunately, Ning Hao and Huang Bo don't like fencing, otherwise he would have been in danger last night.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but touch the back with more than a season.

Immediately looking at Ning Hao, who was sleeping soundly on the carpet holding Huang Bo's feet, Gao Fei immediately shook his head with disgust, and then quietly retreated.

But before leaving, he took a photo to commemorate it.

It didn't take long for Ning Hao and Huang Bo to "get up together", and sure enough, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere.

Even if he didn't know that Ning Hao didn't like men, Huang Bo would have doubted whether he was being unspoken by the rules.

And when the two stared at each other in embarrassment for a long time, they realized that Goofy was not in the room.

So the two of them, who didn't know what to say for a while, immediately decided to aim at Gao Fei first.

It was only after the two hurriedly washed up that they knew that Gao Fei had gone out to watch a movie early in the morning.

In this way, Ning Hao and Huang Bo had no choice but to give up.

……

2008-02-18.

After a long wait, the mystery will finally be revealed tonight.

To the delight of Gao Fei and the others, they finally received a notice from the organizer inviting them to attend the closing ceremony.

After learning the news, Ning Hao's heart that had been hanging for half a month finally let go.

Because in the past, only the winning films will be notified by the organizer.

Therefore, after receiving this call, it has basically been explained that this "No Man's Land" will be rewarded, and the difference is only in the big prize or the small award.

So early on the morning of the 19th, Gao Fei and others got up in good spirits, and after a long and boring wait, Gao Fei finally wore a custom suit sponsored by Seven Wolves and walked on the red carpet with great dignity.

Compared with the red carpet of the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony is obviously a little colder, after all, some media are here for that group of good stars.

When the Hollywood crew left, these people naturally left.

It's just that although the number of media reporters has decreased, the fans on both sides of the red carpet of the closing ceremony are more enthusiastic than the opening ceremony.

Because after the past few days of screenings, many film lovers who came to the Berlin Film Festival have finally become familiar with the films participating in the main competition unit.

So whenever a crew walks on the red carpet, these die-hard fans do not hesitate to cheer for their favorite crews.

The crew of "No Man's Land" is naturally no exception.

Even as someone who has screened several movies abroad, many fans have been shocked by Gao Fei's performance after watching "No Man's Land" in the past few days.

So he secretly began to look for Goofy's other films in the local video store in Berlin.

Not to mention, several of Goofy's films, such as "Kung Fu", "Myth" and "Search", have been sold in Berlin, but there are not many of them.

However, the successive appearances in the international arena did make many foreign fans finally remember Gao Fei's handsome face.

So when Goofy walked on the red carpet, in addition to the white flashing lights, the fans on both sides could finally call out his name accurately.

Although they were not very proficient in Chinese, Gao Fei still waved enthusiastically at the group of girls, and even gave a flying kiss.

As a result, the shutter sound, which was already about to stop, suddenly sounded frantically again.

Because Gao Fei's performance really surprised many reporters.

In their perception, the Chinese have always been restrained, reserved, and even wooden.

So suddenly met a faceless and bohemian talent like Gao Fei, and they were really a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, no matter how long the red carpet is, it will only be completed in a few minutes.

After they entered the hall of the movie palace, it didn't take long for all kinds of media, audiences, and stars to gradually arrive.

At this point, the awards of the 58th Berlin Film Festival have finally begun to be revealed.

As is customary, after Mr. Costa and the jury appear, the award ceremony can officially begin after the speech is completed.

It's just that something happened again to the surprise of all the filmmakers in the audience.

Seeing that Mr. Costa did not give any explanation, he announced that due to special reasons, the original participating film "Katyn Tragedy" will be changed to an exhibitor film and will no longer participate in the award selection.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the movie palace.

You must know that among the 26 films participating in this Berlin Film Festival, although "Katyn Tragedy" is not the highest score in the house magazine, it is indeed recognized as the favorite candidate for the Golden Bear Award.

In terms of subject matter, among the many films this time, "Katyn Tragedy" is the film that best meets the interest and theme of the Berlin Film Festival.

Because this is a World War II political film, it is completely in line with the temperament of the Berlinale and its preference for political themes.

Secondly, the director of the film is not an ordinary person.

Although director Angelin Wajda is a Polish, he won the Oscar Lifetime Honor Award in 2000.

He was also the winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1981.

It can be said that from the technique to the subject matter, "Katyn Tragedy" is a strong contender for the Golden Bear Award.

And such a big favorite to win the award was disqualified before the awards, which undoubtedly made it difficult for many filmmakers to accept.

Yes, in the eyes of most filmmakers in the audience, "Katyn Tragedy" was disqualified for no reason.

At this moment, even the original opponent can't help but cry out for director An Jieyin Wajda and want to ask the truth.

However, Mr. Costa still did not give any explanation, and after a brief speech, he announced the beginning.

And when the small award was being presented on the stage, Gao Fei and Ning Hao in the audience were also discussing the sudden change just now.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Fei said decisively even with a slight frown:

"Don't think about it, this must be a polar bear interfering."

After watching the movie a few days ago, because he didn't understand that history, Gao Fei also went to learn about the historical background of the movie.

Later, Gao Fei learned that it was adapted from real events and told the story of the massacre of thousands of Polish prisoners of war in the early forties of the twentieth century.

The Soviet Union wanted to establish a global proletarian government, and Poland happened to be part of the Soviet sphere of influence.

So for the sake of purifying the ranks and maintaining the rule.

In the spring of 1940, the secret police of the USSR: the Internal Affairs Commissariat carried out an organized massacre of captured Polish prisoners of war with the approval of the Soviet upper echelons.

About 300 scientists, hundreds of lawyers, engineers, teachers, more than 100 writers and journalists, 200 pilots, 20 university professors, and many public officials were killed by the Soviet army.

Therefore, the Katyn tragedy is also known as the "Katyn Incident" and the "Katyn Forest Massacre"

It's just about this incident, although there has already been countless evidence that this was the work of the Soviets.

But from 1943, the Katyn Forest was a "28-meter-long and 16-meter-wide deep pit...... Tens of thousands of corpses were stacked into 12 stacks" mass graves were discovered, and the Soviet side has always refused to admit it.

It was not officially recognized by the Soviet Union until April 13, 1990, when the President of Poland visited the Soviet Union.

But it only called it "one of the grave crimes of Stalinism" and refused to make public the historical documents in its possession about the "Katyn incident".

It can be said that "Katyn Tragedy", like "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist", is a tragic song composed by directors for their own nation based on their own real experiences.

It's just that the tragedy of Poland is undoubtedly a scandal that today's polar bears don't want to mention.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but shake his head a little helplessly.

It's no wonder that the Berlinale will admit it this time.

After all, since the United States deployed its anti-missile system to Eastern Europe a few years ago, US-Russian relations have become increasingly tense.

And at this tense time, if the Berlin Film Festival still insists on "Katyn Tragedy" to participate, then maybe it will become a stage for the United States and Russia to fight.

Although it is difficult to say who will win or lose in the United States and Russia at that time, Gao Fei is sure that if such a situation occurs, the Berlin Film Festival will not end well.

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Ning Hao suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Goofy didn't comfort him anymore.

After all, who can really be free in the world!

Adults are not comfortable, and they are not adults.

All we can do is sing and do it!

And just when many filmmakers in the audience had different thoughts, the awards on stage finally entered the main topic.
