In the afternoon, the official website of the film festival announced the first batch of works shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Led by the opening film "Legend of the Savages", a total of twelve films appear on the official website list.

Among them, Gu Changwei's "Peacock" is among the best.

"Mental Hospital", "Ghost", "Life in the Water" ......

Seeing the end, Lin Nan jumped up happily, and the penultimate one was "Hidden in the Dust".

Just when Lin Nan was overwhelmed with excitement, Li Yang's call arrived.

"Lin Nan, congratulations, you have been shortlisted for the competition unit."

According to the time difference, the sun had just risen in Berlin, and Li Yang really helped Lin Nan pay attention to this matter.

"Thank you Brother Li for your help, I'll see you in Berlin in a few days, and then we will get together."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Nan hesitated for a moment with his mobile phone.

In the end, I chose to send a text message, """Hidden in the Dust" was shortlisted for the competition unit, I am going to Berlin with the main creator of the crew, remember to cheer for me." ”

I wanted to call Liu Yifei, but I was afraid that Liu's mother would receive it, so I was embarrassed. "Condor" is still being filmed intensively, most of the mobile phones are in the hands of Liu's mother, the text messages are fine, and it is nothing to see it, it is all a communication between classmates.

She turned around and sent a message with a penguin, and she saw that she would reply.

After sending the message, Lin Nan started to call again, since he has been shortlisted for the competition unit, it is necessary for the leading actor to go.

called Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli successively, both of them were very happy, being shortlisted means that it is possible to win the award, as the hero and heroine, they will definitely not miss it.

In the evening of the same day, the news of the Berlin Film Festival appeared, and Gu Changwei and Lin Nan both entered the main competition unit.

"Lin Nan won the award for the first time and entered the finals."

"Best Cinematographer Gu Changwei directed a film for the first time and was shortlisted for the Berlin Competition Unit."

"Lin Nan, the director of 100 million yuan, is attacking Berlin."

"The crew of "Peacock", the black material behind the scenes......"

was originally going to go to Berlin with the people of China Film, but now Lin Nan is going to change his plans, and he has to go with Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli.

Since "Hidden in the Dust" was invested by Lin Nan himself, he had to work harder this time for the crew in Berlin.

From the moment the shortlist is officially announced, filmmakers all over the world will focus their attention.

Lin Nan needed to rush to Berlin in advance.

Although it was during the winter vacation, the department leader still called Lin Nan to praise and cheer him up, expecting him to make some gains.

And joked, "If you can win the prize, I will pull a banner for you when the time comes." ”

During the phone call, the text messages and penguin messages did not stop, Liu Yifei couldn't call in, so he sent text messages, Shu Zhan, Zhu Yawen, Yan Danchen ......, they were all acquaintances.

There are also Tang Yan, Bai Lily, Wen Zhang, etc. from the Drama Academy, who are not familiar with it, they are all familiar at this moment!

The ones that are cooked are all text messages, and the ones that are not familiar are mostly penguins.

Finally, the leader hung up the phone, Zhu Yawen called again, Lin Nan hung up decisively and called Liu Yifei.

"The school leaders are talking non-stop, so you can't get in." Lin Nan explained first, but fortunately, he was a knowledgeable person on the other side.

"Ann la, I don't blame you. If the crew wasn't in a hurry, I would have liked to go to Berlin, which I haven't been to the film festival yet, or Berlin. ”

Liu Yifei sounds like she is in a good mood, maybe it is Lin Nan's attitude that makes her very satisfied.

"My mother and godfather said they were going to have a coming-of-age ceremony for me this year." Liu Yifei said to Lin Nan, her tone was playful.

Lin Nan recalled her appearance when she first met, "When I first saw you, you were still a little baby fat, and it has been three years......"

"Besides, I'll beat you up next time I go back."

"Don't say it, don't say it." Lin Nan smiled and admitted.

"It's still the same sentence, don't take it too seriously when filming, rest when you're tired and injured, your body is the most important, you know?"

"Got it." Liu Yifei replied simply, but Lin Nan knew that she would still work hard when she should be desperate, no matter what the outside world said, she just wanted to shoot her own drama well, even if she was wronged and injured.

Reluctantly hung up the phone, urging me to put on makeup......

Lin Nan, Li Baotian, and Jiang Wenli were preparing to leave on the 27th, and Zhongying was magically advanced, and the two parties happened to set off together.

The Berlin International Film Festival is one of the three largest film festivals in Europe and one of the three largest international film festivals in the world.

The Berlinale is known for its focus on political and social realities, attracting a large number of filmmakers and works every year, and the two-week event aims to strengthen exchanges between filmmakers from all over the world and promote the art of cinema.

In fact, to put it more realistically, this is a place where art gathers, and it is also a place where fame and fortune are born.

Lin Nan and his entourage were talking and laughing on the plane, full of expectations for this trip to Berlin, although they all said that they would do their best to obey the fate of God, but the excitement in their hearts could not be hidden.

Mr. Han is not far from the real position, and this time he is leading the team again.

Lin Nan and Gu Changwei are the only two seeded players in China, and their hopes are not small.

Lin Nan initially proposed to let Li Yu come over, but Li Baotian refused, saying that instead of going out for a walk, it was better to run more of the crew and polish his acting skills.

Jiang Wenli didn't say much, squinted her eyes to rest, and Lin Nan and the others tried not to disturb her.

"Peacock" was shortlisted for the competition unit, the heroine is Zhang Jingchu, and "Hidden in the Dust" was also shortlisted for the competition unit, and the heroine is Jiang Wenli.

And Jiang Wenli made a big fuss about the gossip of the crew of "Peacock", which was rumored at the time, and this time the two films competed for the competition unit at the same time, and the news was turned over by the unscrupulous media.

It is conceivable that Jiang Wenli is not in a good mood.

The husband took the scandal junior and the original wife to compete in Berlin, Lin Nan can think of how to write domestic entertainment news, and it is definitely not a big deal to watch the excitement.

This is the second time Lin Nan has come to Berlin, and the last time he was in a hurry, it was mainly because Li Yang called him to come to play, as an investor in "Blind Well".

This time, Lin Nan came with his own works, and his mentality was different.

Every year, during the film festival, it is the most popular time for hotels and other accommodation and tourism venues.

The relevant departments of China Film have been involved in various film festivals all year round, and this time they also said that they would help Lin Nan and others book a hotel together, but Lin Nan refused, because Li Yang had already booked it.

Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli both brought assistants, after all, they were going abroad.

Out of the airport, Lin Nan saw the person who picked up the airport, three black Mercedes-Benzes, led by Li Yang, who had not met for a long time.

"Teacher Li, Sister Wen Li, this is Director Li Yang."

"I know, I can watch "Blind Well" in school, it's very good." Li Baotian said.

Jiang Wenli smiled and shook hands.

"Teacher Li, Ms. Jiang." Li Yang greeted.

hugged Lin Nan again, "Get in the car and take you to the hotel where you stay." ”

Lin Nan got into Li Yang's car, and Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli got into the back two.

Three vehicles left the airport.

Li Yang looked at Lin Nan and sighed with emotion, "Two years ago, you were a fledgling rookie actor, and two years later, you are already a famous director, and I feel that I have lived to a dog in the past two years." ”

Being banned in China for five years really made Li Yang very uncomfortable, and he almost stayed outside for the past two years and didn't go back.

"Brother Li is serious, aren't you working very smoothly here, and it will be okay when the time is up in two years, Jiang Wen hasn't been an actor for five years, and recently the time has come, and I heard that a new film is being prepared."

Listening to Lin Nan's comfort, Li Yang nodded, "Don't mention it, let's talk about you this time." ”

Li Yang paused, "I watched your film, it's very good, it's a taste that Berlin likes, although it's a film that has passed the review, it's hard to say whether it can be released on a large scale, right?" ”

Li Yang is telling the truth, the movie is not over after the project is successfully approved, and being able to shoot and be released are two different things.

"Zhongying promised to help, if it doesn't work, I will go to the teachers and leaders in the school, and the policy is slowly ......being liberalized."

Lin Nan didn't care about what he said, but he was already making up his mind in his heart.

Li Yang smiled bitterly, "Maybe you're luckier than us." ”

After arriving at the hotel and settling down, Lin Nan and Li Yang went to the relevant departments of the film festival.

As one of the works in the competition unit, the crew of "Hidden in the Dust" needs to sign in with the organizer, and Lin Nan must be in the film festival address book, otherwise it will be difficult to contact any news or notice.

Filmmakers from all over the world gathered here, movie posters were densely posted, and there were brochures for the festival.

"Isn't it a little face-blind? It's good to get used to it slowly, and they see us too. ”

Seeing Lin Nan's embarrassment, Li Yang smiled.

"Those blondes are Hollywood, right?" Lin Nan disagreed and asked.

"That's all you know." Li Yang complained.

Lin Nan really only knew these faces, and he knew them in the movie.

"Shall I get a standing sign and put it in the exhibition hall as well?"

Lin Nan saw that many movies had promotional signs here.

"For the shortlisted films, the organizer will help promote them. These are all here to sell movies, and the publicity has to rely on the producer. It's also a place where filmmakers like to hang out. ”

There are a lot of films on display, and Lin Nan will definitely be dazzled if he is a film company.

Movies from different countries, different customs, different skin tones and languages can be seen here.

"I knew that when I was in "Blind Well", I should have come out with you to go around more." Lin Nan regretted.

We have learned a lesson this time, and we must make preparations for participating in foreign film festivals in the future.

Lin Nan came to Berlin not too late, and many crews and filmmakers came to Berlin every day.

Many of the participating films have rented screening halls, Lin Nan has been rubbing movies during this time, Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli have also joined the team, the former learns the lenses and thinking of other directors, and the latter two observe the performance skills of excellent film actors, which are very fulfilling.

China Film has the power to import, and has been frequently in and out of various exhibition halls recently.

In addition to the official media, Lin Nan also saw the Internet media in the domestic media that came to Berlin.

Sohu interviewed the people of "Peacock", and Gu Changwei admitted that there are too many good films this time, and fierce competition is inevitable, so he will treat it with a normal heart.

Gu Changwei is a photographer by background, and has shot "The Child King", "Red Sorghum" and "Sunny Day", won the best cinematography of the Golden Rooster and the Golden Horse, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography with "Farewell My Concubine".

Following Zhang Yimou's steps, Gu Changwei's first film as a director was "Peacock", and the industry also had high hopes for this movie.
