Chapter 0552 - Two Mad Dogs Bite (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Actually, it is worth saying hello this year, and there are not many people who can let Hao Yun get the attributes.
The cliché "star-studded red carpet" is a hard-pressed phrase for Berlin.
There weren't so many greetings to call, and the festival's president, Diette Koslick, was so idle that he even had time to look for bathrooms with actresses who were in a hurry.
"I didn't expect you to make a movie like this, I was told before that your film might be done by a teacher, and I insist that this statement is very clumsy and ridiculous......"
Diette Koslick was a gentle and lovely old man.
Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi to get to know him.
Diette Koslick praised Hao Yun's new movie, as well as An Xiaoxi's beauty.
"I never stop learning, and I promise to surprise the Berlinale next time."
Hao Yun actually plans to take "Little Forest" and "Bullfighting" to international film festivals, and it doesn't matter whether he can win the award or not, the important thing is that he can sell it for money in this way.
Especially "Bullfighting", since Zheng Zhi is correct and internationally applicable, why can't he push what neon does to the world cultural stage in the form of a movie.
Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" and Hao Yun's "Bullfighting" will undertake such a mission.
It's just that Hao Yun will definitely wait for the trial before taking it to the exhibition.
"Haha, I just like confident young people." Diet Koslick smiled from ear to ear, and since he took office in 2002, he has been a filmmaker who likes Chinese culture.
"It's good to have you at the Berlinale Festival!" Hao Yun hugged the other party again.
agreed to the other party's proposal to open a Chinese film cultural exchange salon, and there will be some Chinese filmmakers, as well as foreign filmmakers and media interested in Chinese films.
Hao Yunhui is a leader.
As for why he didn't let Chen Kaige, a "grandmaster"-level great guide, take the lead, it was naturally because Diette Koslick knew a lot about Chen Kaige and knew that this great master was not a good person to communicate with.
On the contrary, it was Hao Yun, and anyone who had communicated with him praised him.
Hao Yun came so many days in advance, in addition to attending the premiere, he also attended various film activities.
Naturally, this "heavy responsibility" will not shirk.
The two talked about the reason why the Berlin Film Festival was so deserted this time - it was strange that the Berlin Film Festival was sandwiched between the Oscar nominations and the awards show.
It's not Berlin's problem, it's not the festival's problem, everyone wants to come, it's just that the timing is inseparable.
"I heard that your film also signed for the Oscar, and you don't plan to go to Los Angeles to canvass for your own film?" Diette Koslick asked curiously.
"Bursting Drummer" applied for the Academy Awards, which was Dong Ping's operation.
Strictly speaking, it is a kind of reciprocal retaliation.
"Wuji" originally released a rumor that it was screened but did not participate in the awards, but Chen Kaige later decided to participate in the awards.
Many people believe that this is a kind of suppression of Hao Yun.
Even Dong Ping thinks so.
Therefore, he took "Burst Drummer" to the Oscar for the election, intending to expand the confrontation stage with "Wu Ji".
Fight Berlin, and then fight Oscar.
As long as he wins any game, he can make Chen Kaige, an old man, lose face.
Hao Yun has no hope that "Burst Drummer" will win the Oscars, so he doesn't plan to canvass for votes.
Of course, he will not say that his film is hopeless, but said sincerely: "My path to the international film festival started in Berlin, and there is no reason to leave the Berlin Film Festival to focus on the Oscar without emotion." ”
Diette Koslick burst into tears.
This year, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in Berlin for personal affairs, and the festival had planned to temporarily add a "special charity award" to the "Berlin Camera Awards" to lure the two big stars into the urn, but in vain.
When Hao Yun compared it with them, he immediately looked very cute.
No, we must ensure that Hao Yun can win the award!
The film festival bamboo mat and the jury bamboo mat are not the same thing, but the film festival bamboo mat is not without influence on the jury.
"Actually, there should be three Chinese films entering the main competition unit this time, in addition to yours, there are also "Wuji", and "Isabella", but "Isabella" seems to have canceled the application." Diette Koslick said.
"Isabella" is a drama film directed by Peng Haoxiang and starring Silly Qiang, Liang Luoshi, and Huang Qiusheng.
They were originally going to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but they saw Hao Yun and Chen Kaige using the Berlin Film Festival as a battlefield.
Well, two mad dogs are biting there.
Are you going to join in, or are you going to take a detour?
After weighing it, he didn't think he could beat Hao Yun, who had won the best screenplay in Cannes, nor Chen Kaige, who was a frequent visitor to the European Film Festival, so he simply switched to the Cannes Film Festival.
"I heard that "Boundless" was returned?" Hao Yunzhen didn't mean to gossip.
But the news is still relatively secret for the time being, and only a few people know that if it is exposed, it will definitely exacerbate the word-of-mouth crisis of "Wuji".
The reputation is so bad that the negotiated overseas distributor Weinstein Brothers returns it, so you can imagine how bad it is.
It's not that the quality of Chinese audiences is poor and they are not qualified to watch his Chen Kaige's movies, but that people all over the world can't understand Nima.
"That's true," said Diette Koslick, who also lowered her voice, "However, the next family is already there, and Warner Pictures' subsidiary, Warner Independent, which has been established for more than a year, has bought the distribution rights in North America and Germany. The film has been re-edited to 103 minutes in length, which is 19 minutes shorter than the version that was released on your side, and this is the 'short version' that will be screened in Berlin. ”
Hao Yun immediately felt happy.
After the premiere, Hao Yun also accepted an exclusive interview with Deutsche Welle.
He spoke in German throughout the whole process, very fluently, and with substance, the media praised Hao Yun in all directions the next day.
said that he is a film genius from China and the future of Chinese film culture.
It made many people look forward to the premiere of his new movie.
The next few days were all kinds of premieres and salons, and he and Chen Kaige were both based in Berlin during the festival, but Hao Yun got better and better, while Chen Kaige became more and more depressed.
Because, not many people understand him at all.
On February 12, "Boundless" had its European premiere at the festival.
At about half past three in the afternoon, Hao Yun appeared on the red carpet of the premiere in front of the Limpotsdamer Platz Cinema.
This time, he didn't bring An Xiaoxi over.
An Xiaoxi stayed in the hotel to rest.
She has already watched "Wuji", and her brain hurts when she watches it, so she doesn't want to find guilt anymore.
Only Hao Yun, even if Chen Kaige has a small belly and chicken intestines, he always sneers at him, and he has to look at it for the sake of being a Chinese filmmaker to give Director Chen a show.
Chen Kaige felt that it was not necessary.
But since Hao Yun is here, he can't turn him away.
can only pretend to greet Hao Yun warmly.
Thinking of the many slanderous words he used to slander Hao Yun in his private chats, Europeans felt that this old man was hypocritical.
The movie tickets for "Wu Ji" are still selling well.
Someone on Potsdamer Strasse holds a sign seeking to buy a movie ticket.
In the seventh screening hall, thousands of seats were filled.
Five minutes before the screening, some of the late reporters could not find an empty seat, so they had to find a corner or sit in the aisle to watch.
This is a rare scene for reporters since the opening of the film festival on the 9th.
After the film screening, Chen Kaige led photographer Bao Dexi, leading actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Zhang Dongjian to attend a press conference and answered questions from reporters and industry insiders in fluent English.
Hao Yun found that Director Chen was a lot more tolerant of the questions raised by foreign media.
Someone questioned him face-to-face that this movie was a bad movie, and he also smiled and said that the interpretation of art is from different angles, and different people have different aesthetic standards.
It's not like China at all, Liu Yan can go on the spot when he asks him "Will the movie expect and the reality hurt his self-esteem", and after the interview is over, he has to let the family come out, turn around to do other programs and re-mention the matter on the show, with a never-ending posture.
After the official screening of the movie, Hao Yun, who had seen the domestic release version, had a comparison.
He came to participate in Chen Kaige's European premiere, in addition to watching the jokes, he was also curious about how to cut it.
The opening and ending credits of the "short version" of "Wu Ji" have been changed, and most of the places that are called "jokes" by domestic audiences have disappeared.
For example, Wu Huan's golden thumb stretched out, "Let me lose the opportunity to be a good person!" "I'm touched by you!" ……
Other modifications didn't make the movie easier to understand.
The scene was as flat as water, with a small amount of laughter in the throat and a small amount of applause.
Most of the people's expressions were stunned, shocked, and incredulous.
That's it?
This is the level of the director of "Farewell My Concubine"?
