The movie opens with a common black screen, where you can hear the drums, but you can't see the people, mainly to arouse the audience's curiosity.

Then the Chinese title subtitle appeared - Burst Drummer.

The drums beat from slow to fast...... The more intense the drums mean that the conflict of the story will become more and more intense.

At the beginning of the shot, the protagonist is diligently practicing the drums, and the distant view shows the empty classroom, which contrasts with the protagonist's dream of being alone and silently alone.

The camera slowly pushes from far to near, and the whole shot is like beautiful music, giving the audience a step-by-step process......

The movie wasn't funny, so there was no laughter on the scene.

Many of the people on the scene are professional media and film critics, and they watch the movie from a lot of angles, and you can see that the cinematography and editing of this movie are quite awesome at the beginning.

If Hao Yun's "Heart Labyrinth" won with the script structure and shooting techniques, then the current "Burst Drummer" has taken a completely different direction.

Editing, Fine Art, Photography, Music, Performance......

Each one is very well done.

The film often uses the camera to imitate the perspective of the character and the scene that the protagonist sees, so that the audience can feel the character's emotions and inner activities from the perspective of the character.

So the immersion of watching the movie is very good.

There was almost no talking or movement during the whole process, and at most someone coughed twice outside of the movie.

Hao Yun shook An Xiaoxi's hand, which was a soothing action.

It means that there is no need to be nervous, our film has been successful.

He is not Chen Kaige, arrogant and arrogant that everyone should like his movies, and if they can't like it now, they will like it again in ten years.

Hao Yun made a judgment based on the film itself and the feedback from the scene.

As for Feng Yuanzheng, who is also nervous, Hao Yun can't help it, and people who can evolve in general, their psychological quality is definitely not ordinarily good.

Mind your own business.

There is no complicated structure in the movie, so the audience can watch the whole film in one go.

After the film screening, the scene immediately resounded with warm applause.

This kind of applause is not a ceremonial applause, it is very intense, and it lasts for a long time, and many people even stand up and applaud.

They feel like they've witnessed the birth of a good movie.

It's not the kind of thing that you don't know what to say in the clouds, nor is it a portrayal of pain and sympathy, it's just a movie, and it tells you an easy-to-understand story in the language of film.

But it's not the kind of type that is superficial and has no connotation, and is lacklustre and infectious.

This talented director from China, with his real works, has once again become a sought-after director at the film festival.

It is expected that in the next few days, the media will praise him lavishly, and the audience will also queue up early to grab a movie ticket for "Bursting Drummer".

At the same time, the jury will also be under tremendous pressure.

Such a pure movie, how are you going to arrange it?

To give or not to give a prize?

No prize ......

Halfway through the film festival, and there are almost no outstanding works, this year's jury and the entire Berlin Film Festival may be questioned in all directions.

Berlin has never been a monopoly.

There are three major European film festivals, and there are no competitors outside of the three.

In addition, the pressure brought by the Oscars has made this year's Berlin Film Festival dismal, and there are fewer and fewer excellent works.

If there is really no such controversy in the award of "Burst Drummer", it is estimated that these judges will not be willing to invite any film festival in the future.

After the movie, Hao Yun and several others stood on stage for an interview.

Compared with the boring questions before the opening of the movie, the scene suddenly became intense at this time.

"Director Hao, why do you want to shoot a film like "Burst Drummer"?"

"The editor of this film, Zhang Yifan, does not seem to have particularly powerful works, why did you choose him as the editor of this film?"

"Did you have a hard time choosing an actor? The role of Cao Yuanzheng in the film is very brilliantly interpreted, we are sorry to think that it surpasses the starring role you played, can you understand the casting process. ”

"Director Hao is already a model of young directors with many successful works in a row, do you have any advice for filmmakers who are struggling for their debut or second work?"

……

The questions are one after another, Hao Yun is humorous and eloquent, and the depression when everyone watches the movie has been released to a certain extent in the Q&A stage.

It's a pity that the screening room will soon welcome the next movie.

So Hao Yun had to announce the end of the premiere and leave the screening hall with everyone.

If it is said that before the film was screened, Hao Yun simply relied on his personal charm and the title of Best Screenplay in Cannes, and he was like a fish in water during the film festival.

And Feng Yuanzheng and An Xiaoxi and others who came with him could only rely on his light.

Well, immediately after the premiere of the film, the situation changed.

Hao Yun's new film has been affirmed by the premiere audience and the media, and the people he brought have also become the "coquettish" of the film festival.

Especially Feng Yuanzheng, Zhang Yifan, and Zhao Fei.

Feng Yuan's performance is really good, and the male number one played by Hao Yun is completely incomparable to him.

In the reporter's question session, people did not shy away from saying it.

Even if this movie can win the actor, it will be Feng Yuanzheng's male number two, and Hao Yun's male number one is not qualified at all.

Of course, this also has something to do with the personality.

Zhao Fei's family is internationally famous, winning the Best Cinematography Award at the 18th Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Awards for the movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and the Best Cinematography Award at the New York International Television Festival for "The Forbidden City".

After learning that he was the photographer, the film critic suddenly realized, no wonder this technique is not ordinarily good.

And the biggest benefit, in addition to Feng Yuanzheng, is actually Zhang Yifan.

In the eyes of professional filmmakers, the first thing in "Burst Drummer" is not the music or the script, but the editing!

However, after everyone had an in-depth understanding, they found that Zhang Yifan was not a new tender.

He is the editor of Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" - many people previously thought that it was the editor of Mi Guo who helped Jiang Wen do the editing.

Good guys, it turns out that the behind-the-scenes lineup of this movie is so strong.

Even An Xiaoxi has received a lot of attention.

When everyone watches the movie, they basically substitute for the male number one Shen Yun, and there is no reason to hate a beautiful, cute and empathetic little girl like the female number one An Xiaoxi.

An Xiaoxi's role has little room to play in the movie, but the setting is very pleasing.

The male protagonist had a crush on An Xiaoxi at the beginning, and finally mustered up the courage to confess, but found that it was a two-way rush, and the love came so sweetly that everyone watching the movie couldn't help but curl the corners of their lips.

It's wonderful!

However, the male number one concentrated on playing the drums in order to break the boat, but broke up with her.

The audience inexplicably stored a sense of guilt for An Xiaoxi in their hearts, and seeing her was like seeing the white moonlight they missed.

When I saw An Xiaoxi during the film festival, I couldn't help but want to follow her.

Beat the drum with a hammer, can't you fall in love?

However, Hao Yun is actually more concerned about the evaluation of the media - this will not only affect the final award, but also greatly affect the copyright value of "Burst Drummer".

The cost of this movie is eight million, and Hao Yun didn't expect to have much box office.

It is up to overseas copyright to recoup the cost.

The media on the second day used a lot of face-saving pages.

Migo's "Variety" (North American version) has a reputation in the international film industry for its authority and impartiality, and it is extremely difficult for a film to get a review of "Daily Variety" during the film festival in just a few days.

"Daily Variety" spoke highly of and recommended the film on the second day of the premiere of "Burst Drummer", published large stills, and distributed thousands of words of film reviews.

"The Burst Drummer was a breakthrough at this year's Berlin Film Festival. As the third work of Chinese director Hao Yun, the technical maturity of "Bursting Drummer" is surprising.

The film explores the complex issues of how to develop exceptional talent, the line between modest mentoring and abuse, and is intriguing.

Every scene, even if it's driving home to get a drum stick, is cut smoothly and brightly.

All kinds of contradictions and conflicts, the teacher's machine-gun-like vicious words, are not randomly placed in the film, and his voice seems to be integrated into it, serving the rhythm of the whole movie.

The novel editing has fully caught up with David Fincher, this fast, accurate and ruthless editing style makes the charm of the characters extremely rising, and the conflict between teachers and students intensifies, making the audience feel like students being driven to a dead end again and again, in this small boring practice space, the ghostly editing adds a lot to the film.

……”

The New York Post was equally full of praise, calling the film "gripping, fun and inspiring."

Freeti Sarter, a film critic from Belgium's "Cinema Magic" magazine, changed his attitude towards "Boundless" and praised "Bursting Drummer".

He believes that "the movie "Burst Drummer" completely abandons the conventional impression of a warm, romantic and beautiful musical film, and the director grafts action thriller and psychological fear into the narrative framework of the musical film.

Through the jazzy beats and dense and smooth editing, the film is given a noir film temperament. The perfect match between the difficult editing and the rhythm of the music made this film an award-winning favorite at this year's Berlin Film Festival! ”

Other media outlets are also full of praise.

"The movie 'Burst Drummer' is a work that will never be forgotten. Through the story of drummer Shen Yun, it conveys to the audience the courage and determination to pursue their dreams. The music and performances of the film are incredible and immerse the audience......"

This kind of touting made Hao Yun blush.

Courage and determination to pursue your dreams?

Did you watch the movie seriously?

However, he also knows that after the release of this movie, it will definitely be regarded as an inspirational film by many people, and it can only be said that there are a thousand Harry Potters for a thousand people.

Of course, it's not all praise, and there are still many media outlets that point out the problems with "Burst Drummer".

It's just that even if it's a "bad review", it's actually very mild.

For example, the report of "Daily Screen" pointed out:

"'Burst Drummer' is a tense (but somewhat hollow) psychological thriller, and Feng Yuanzheng's ferocious performance is impressive.

Its style can be called a modern-day Hitchcockian thriller, but its content is not suitable.

Nor does it present its central argument – about the price one must pay to become a legend – enough to make one reconsider their position on the issue.

Still, Popping Drummer is quite a fun game of cat and mouse. ”

Quite interesting!

For a movie, for the often scolded "Daily Screen", this is already a relatively good evaluation.

Because movies are made for different people, there is no perfect movie, and it is beyond Hao Yun's imagination that "Bursting Drummer" can receive such feedback.

This made him can't wait to reveal the answer to the closing ceremony on the 19th.
