1979 Golden Age

22nd, Berlin.

25 entries have been unveiled one after another, with varying levels of quality. Sometimes when a film festival accepts a film, it must not only consider quality, but also diversity?

The more countries that participate in the competition, the more influential the festival will be.

A Spanish movie "The Beehive" has a good reputation. It tells the story of Madrid in the 1940s and the social life of the Spanish Civil War.

There was also a film called "The House of Riches", which reflected the story of Irish revolution and religion. The Japanese film "The Beast" was also screened. The public opinion was average and it did not create any waves. However, Mizutani Chuan, Ogata Feng and others were clever and saw that Yamada had made the matter so big, so they ran away the night of the screening.

Anyway, they know themselves and they can’t win the prize.

"Life Is Beautiful" is scheduled for the last scene, because after the show there is an interactive session with international friends, which takes a long time, and the last scene will not affect other films.

5pm.

Chen Qi put on glasses and a black suit. The material was good and decent.

It's comfortable. I've ironed it in advance. Every inch of the fabric fits my body. The trouser line is straight and the leather shoes are shiny.

Li Wenhua also wears a suit.

He also took a small comb and carefully combed every hair. Chen Qi sighed: "Old Li, I remember what a staunch old comrade you were back then. It was me who polluted you."

"Can old comrades be used as food? Who doesn't know me, Director Li, now in the country? Besides, I have seen through you. You are a capitalist roader on the surface, but in fact you are extremely popular. You are a hundred times better than those who say one thing and do another.

If the factory hadn't released him, I would have gone to your company long ago! "

"Haha, I'm just saying this to you. I'll look for you when I have a movie in the future!" Chen Qi was amused.

Although he was joking and Li Wenhua was his tool, he was a serious photographer, experienced and capable, and he took pictures in an orderly manner. In terms of technical level, Chen Qi is really inferior to him. What he lacks is just some awareness that people in this era lack.

The two of them left the house, and Gong Xue also happened to come out. In order to match the film, she wore an indane cheongsam, high heels, and a coat to keep out the cold. Indanthryne is a blue dye, not ordinary blue, but indigo.

Liu Zhigu and other official personnel either wear suits or Chinese tunic suits.

There are dress codes for foreign affairs events.

"Is everyone here?"

"Set off!"

Together with 9 international friends, this team has more than 20 members.

Arriving at the venue, Hader was already there. Liu Zhigu took the lead and said: "Mr. Chairman, you can pretend that nothing happened before, but today is the premiere, so you can't let them cause trouble anymore!"

"I have tightened security, please rest assured. But if those Japanese reporters want to come in to watch the movie, what will you do?"

“We absolutely welcome watching the movie quietly!”

Hader was actually a little depressed. He was a cunning old man and didn't want to express his position publicly. As a result, a reporter from the event was called out by Chen Qi on the spot and had to take some action because he also felt that the Chinese were well prepared and Japan had no chance of winning.

The venue is quite large, with hundreds of people sitting in the auditorium and a stage in front.

Fifty or sixty reporters came over one after another. All the films in the festival were not as popular as "Life is Beautiful". Chen Qi stood in front to greet him and saw an acquaintance.

"Roberts!"

It was Roberts from 20th Century Fox. Chen Qi smiled and said: "It's been more than half a year since you bought "Orphan". I heard it hasn't been released in the United States yet. You are so rich, why don't you buy the movie and keep it for fun?"

"We have too many resources. We have to wait in line. Hurry, Hurry!'

Roberts explained, "Besides, the box office of "Orphan" has nothing to do with you, so what do you worry about?"

"It doesn't matter now, maybe we can cooperate further in the future!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it!"

Roberts went in and was greeted by another person who introduced himself: "Warner's Overseas Business Department, Stevenson, nice to meet you!"

Followed by another, "Universal, Bob, first meeting!"

"Paramount, Fritz!"

Shh!

Chen Qi was a little surprised. It seemed that the popularity was indeed very high. When the Hollywood Eight came, suddenly there was a commotion at the door, but it was Yamada who came again with several reporters. The whole audience let out an ooh and stretched their necks, thinking that there was something good again. Watch the show.

Liu Zhigu stood up in a hurry, and Hader also stood up. This time he had to take care of things and said: "Gentlemen, if you come to watch the movie, we welcome you. If you have other purposes, please leave immediately."

"Of course we're here to watch the movie!"

Yamada snorted and walked in swaggeringly, but compared to before, he looked more bluffing. He sat in the back row and looked at the environment. His eyes fell on the Chinese named Chen Qi again, and he felt resentful in his heart: It's all this guy!

After the meeting that day, Yamada felt that something was wrong. The matter was not what he had imagined.

But he still had to come, so that he could see what the film was about, so that he could explain it when he returned.

Chen Qi also stared at him, thought for a while, walked out of the hall first, called Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang,

He whispered: "Watch them, don't let them leave halfway, they must sit until the end of our event!"

"Can you fight the Japanese?" Xiao Yang was excited.

"Hit you on the head and use your brain. Forget it, you don't have enough brain. I listened to Xiao Mo's arrangement. After a while, the audience was almost seated.

Chairman Harder personally presided over the ceremony and said a few opening words. Then the lights dimmed.

The screen lit up, and "Life is Beautiful" began to play. The whole audience was extremely quiet. This film that had attracted great attention finally appeared.

And soon after the lights dimmed.

Yamada felt that the person next to him moved and changed his position. A black guy sat over.

He was not tall, but his body was broad and strong. He sat next to him like a wall.

He even raised his legs------Yamada estimated that his thighs were thicker than his waist.

Just kidding, Xiao Yang grew up on the grassland and practiced wrestling since he was a child!

As the film started, Yamada didn't care about this guy and focused his attention on the big screen.

"Lord! Please bless us and the food we eat. We also thank you for everything you have rewarded us---""-May glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, so it is today, and forever---"

The beginning of the film is a prayer before the meal.

The camera slowly pulls down from the Western-style ceiling, giving a bird's-eye view of the magnificent dining room with Western-style decoration. The family is praying before breakfast.

The audience was stunned immediately. It is normal for such a shot to appear in Western works,

but it is very abnormal to appear in Chinese movies.

This family is even more abnormal. It is actually a standard Chinese family.

Mr. Li, played by Tie Niu, has a broad face and big ears. He wears a slightly tight gown and prays absent-mindedly. There are several other children, and their clothes are also a mix of Chinese and Western.

The one closest to him is Li Mingyu, played by Gong Xue.

"Amen!"

"Dad, can you be more pious?"

"I am not pious yet?"

Mr. Li felt wronged and said, "My belief in religion itself is pious enough.

Did I donate money to you in vain? You can teach in school safely, and our family can live safely in the concession because I say 'Amen' every day!"
