Compared with the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival is not responsible for the selection of films by a special selection committee.Instead, the members of the Filmmakers Committee and the chairman of each unit are responsible for the selection of films.

At the same time, the way to select the jury is also different.

In Cannes and Venice, the jury members are determined by the committee of the entire film festival and then invited.

The jury of the Berlin Film Festival is voted by the advisory group of the Central Berlin Film Commission.

Of course, there is no difference in the ratio of jury members of the three major film festivals.

This year's jury has a total of 10 people. Franck Bayer, a famous German director who has directed reactions to World War II, concentration camps and Jewish themes, served as the chairman of the jury.

This is a filmmaker who likes to 'see the big from the small' and has a slightly black humor.

However, the main reason why the jury has attracted the attention of the Asian or, to be precise, the media in the Chinese-language film circle is because Zhang Aijia is one of the jury members.

Therefore, many faces of Chinese media appeared in this Berlin Film Festival.

This is also the reason why Xiaozu Wu is sure that Zhang Manyu has the opportunity to break the zero breakthrough of Chinese actors in the performance awards of the three major film festivals.

It's easy to do things with your own people.

The festival itself is all about relationships and circles.

When Quentin was the chairman of the jury at the Venice Film Festival, he not only awarded the Golden Lion to his ex-girlfriend Sofia Coppola.

Then he created a "special Golden Lion Award for comprehensive performance" to his teacher Monte Hellman.

Not to mention that Wang Suqian awarded 11 Best Actors and Queens at the Cannes Film Festival.

It's so outrageous.

Therefore, the taste of the judges is often one of the biggest factors in determining the award.

Another factor is sponsorship.

The later generation "Fireworks in the Day" was able to win an award, so it can't be said that it was completely missed...

But it is undeniable that this has something to do with a certain brand of jewelry in mainland China becoming the chief sponsor of the Berlin Film Festival that year.

Of course, this is not to say that "Fireworks by Day" is bad.

It just shows that all film festivals actually use money, relationships, and channels to operate and expand their influence and value.

In essence, film festivals are commercial activities.

This kind of operation is not our first creation, and Europe and the United States have long played badly in these games... We just cross the river by feeling them.

Why say these.

It is because I·T clothing is also a third-level sponsor of this Berlin Film Festival.At the same time, the biggest sponsors of this Berlin Film Festival are all from the United States...

Coincidentally, these sponsors, including Ford Mustang, Subway, and Burger King, all appear on the "Pulp Fiction" sponsorship list.

So, why do you think Wu Xiaozu came to the Berlin Film Festival.

Sponsors need to complete the promotion backflow through some behaviors, family members!
That's why Wu Xiaozu, a direct descendant of Cannes and a peripheral of Venice, will come to the Berlin Film Festival, which he hasn't seen for a long time.

In sponsorship contracts, there are 'supplemental clauses' about winning, and these clauses are real money.

Of course, film festivals also have their own tastes... Even considering commercial behavior, the quality of the selected films will not be lower than the average 75 points. . .That was the commercial reputation and brand value of the film festival.

There are 27 films in the main competition unit, and the main competition jury will decide a series of awards during this period.

……

The screening hall of "Pulp Fiction" in the movie palace was completely silent.

Everyone was staring at the screen in front of them intently, for fear of missing even one frame, and then the movie would be reversed dramatically.

Many film critics and media reporters in the front row held their breaths and were stunned.

Can a movie still be made like this? ? ? ?

Many audience members in the back row raised their buttocks slightly, leaned forward, and stared intently at the movie screen.

When the film was played to the second half, the filmmakers and the media watching the film also forgot their responsibilities, and were all immersed in this unique and shocking film.

The black humor that appeared from time to time made them burst into laughter again.

In the history of the Berlin Film Festival, there are very few such films.

Every time it appears, it will cause a huge sensation!
When Philip, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Sight and Sound" who watched the movie in the front row, saw the middle part of the movie, he was sure that the movie won a place in the top ten best movies of the year in 1992.

He felt director Wu Xiaozu's intentions in light, performance, camera, editing and the most exciting narrative structure.

If it is said that Wu Xiaozu broke the linear narrative barrier of the film with the two different structures of the nonlinear causality theory in "The Birth of a Prefix", he is still in a pioneering experiment with nonlinearity.

Then, this "Pulp Fiction" is the master.

The setting of this ring structure is really artistic and breakthrough.

It can be predicted that this movie has brought great shock to the world film industry.

This may make many beginners who are new to film directly change their previous film narrative theory.

Martin Scorsese frowned slightly.

He has seen the shadows of countless movies in this movie, but it is undeniable that the narrative structure created by this movie made him feel shocked when he saw "The Godfather".

The "spirituality" swayed by this movie made him, an "old pedant", feel astonished.

At the same time, with an excellent reading volume, he can also feel Wu Xiaozu's "tribute" to countless movies in this movie. This kind of tribute is very clever and not obtrusive at all.

The other party shot a work of his own style in a way beyond his imagination.

"He pioneered a film structure." Martin Scorsese couldn't help expressing emotion.

At the same time a little sad.

Compared with the other party's Oscar nomination this time, it's no problem... Even if the public relations are in place, the award is justifiable.

Thinking of this, old Martin felt a little sour... A word of self-comfort: In fact, Oscar is nothing...

Robert De Niro is fascinated by watching "Pulp Fiction" at the moment.

In this era, the birth of this movie is no less than the significance of the later "Avatar" in that era, all of which shocked people's attention.It breaks everyone's inherent perception of movies.

cool! ! !
The beautiful girl in the middle row watched the movie with wonderful eyes, feeling conquered.

As a post-70s, she can feel the brand-new feeling of this movie even more.

This kind of work design opened her eyes.

In the past two years, she has also studied professional drama knowledge and theories. The more so, the more she can appreciate the impact and reform of this film on the current traditional film and television narrative relationship.

"This is the work that belongs to the brand new 90s." She couldn't help but marvel.

The curled feet couldn't help but hook inward, the sweater covered the legs, and the whole person was immersed in the plot of the movie.

The appearance of every character makes her feel fresh and new.

Of course, a movie isn't money and certainly won't be liked by everyone.Most of the tourists and audiences who come to the film festival are film enthusiasts, but there are also people who do not have such a high number of readings...

There is a feeling of boredom when they watch it.

This non-linear narrative method makes them very jumpy.

After reading it for a long time, I still don’t understand what “Pulp Fiction” is talking about…

However, as the movie came to an end, some people also realized that it was so... Immediately afterwards, they felt a sense of excitement.

At the same time, I regret that I didn't grasp those details when I just watched it.

These people want to give this movie a second or even a third shot.

As for those who didn't understand the movie after the end, it's not that there are no people. It can only be said that they really have no feelings for this type of movie.

Especially when watching everyone around you get caught up in the movie.

They often give birth to a strange doubt.

Is it so good? ? ?
Obviously very ordinary?

Not that they're really trying to grandstand, maybe some people are.

But there must be some people who really didn't get the excitement of the movie... Everyone's environment, knowledge, experience, and personality are very different, and they definitely won't have completely the same feelings.

But in the eyes of some knowledgeable people, "Pulp Fiction" at this moment is really a masterpiece! ! !

With the music playing, the movie ends.

Some filmmakers, film critics and media in the front row couldn't help but stand up and give their respect to this classic work.

Someone stood up in the front, which also caused the middle and back rows to stand up one after another.

At this moment, the entire theater applauded thunderously.

The German youth wearing a Rolex watch glanced at the beautiful Gu Liang who stood up barefoot and applauded excitedly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Am I the only one who thinks this movie is average?"

Yes.

He really didn't get the excellence of this kind of oriental image style, wrapped in American humor movies.

This kind of black humor made him inexplicable.

Especially the chaotic narrative structure makes me dizzy.

"It's not vulgar." The rich young man couldn't help complaining.

The reason why he walked into the theater was because of the title of the film.

"pulp Fiction".

He took a critical look at how vulgar the movie really was.This is not at all close to what he imagined...

Although the movie also has a very nasty 'homosexual' plot, but he was looking forward to the kind of naked scenes like European directors...

Rather than this kind of violent plot that disagrees with each other.

Looking at the beautiful woman next to him and ignoring it, this small-minded young man sneaked out of the movie hall while she didn't realize that he kicked her shoe away, and when everyone was cheering and applauding.

Wu Xiaozu also smiled and stood up——

I stumbled.

Bow your head,

I was seeing a Martin boot at my feet.

Suddenly stunned.

Then he bent down to pick up the shoe, and walked up to the small stage in front of him, carrying the neutral Martin boot brightly.
