China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 677

Chinese opera is at the time of art examination

Candidates lined up for the exam at the school. From time to time, scouts and reporters took pictures. The former was to see if there were any good seedlings to sign into the company, while the latter was to distribute news.

Among these students, there are also a few famous people, or to see if there are any handsome men and women, and there will be crowds watching when they post it on the Internet.

In recent years, with the rise of a bunch of academic stars, several major art schools have also become star cradles. Every year, some media, people who care about entertainment and gossip, or people in the fan circle will pay attention to this matter.

Especially the latter is definitely the main force among the main forces.

This is also understandable, star chasing is also divided into genres, and the cultivating department has always been pursued by many people, otherwise, where did the fans of those small stars or goofy fans come from.

Quite a few people like to watch the artists they admire rise up little by little, witnessing the weak turn into success, there is a special sense of accomplishment and participation.

Art test students and newcomers who have just debuted are still good, and many people have begun to become fans of underage sisters.

For example, [Three Boy], which is well-known on the Internet, is a group of three little ones. It is an out-and-out cultivation system, and it is not an ordinary cultivation system. Many of them are not sister fans, but mother fans.

"There should be hope. Leung Chiu Wai is on the judging panel. It will definitely help."

Among the three shortlisted Chinese films, there is currently only one "Hunting", which has nothing. The outside world does not know what Cao Xuan and others are thinking at the scene, but some students who are fans have already started to get nervous.

To be honest, Xia Yu didn't have much trouble with Cao Xuan. After all, Cao Xuan's achievements are much better than him. He has the Venice Silver Lion, and Cao Xuan's various honor trophies can't fit in a cabinet, so he is fine. Show off.

After all, most of the handsome men and beautiful women are generally not bad in the art family, and have not been tempered or beaten by the society. They are inevitably a little arrogant in their hearts. Some even think that they are the chosen ones in the future, and they often fantasize about the day they die. Hit Cao Xuan and rub Cheng Long.

But then again, there are an average of six or seven judges per session. The three major European film festivals are held every year, and there are more than 20 judges from the three major European film festivals a year, so this title is not as valuable as imagined.

Cao Xuan and Xia Yu have known each other very early, even before Cao Xuan starred in a movie, and Xia Yu was already the best actor of Golden Horse and Venice at that time.

"The best actress has come out, "Little House" Kuroki Hana, a Japanese actor."

After the Golden Bear Award went to Cao's family, this year's Berlin Film Festival has officially come to an end.

"Then you're in luck. I'm a father and son reunited after 20 years. It's a relatively difficult question."

After a little inquiring, I understood what was going on, and my first reaction was to look at Zeng Li, one of the examiners, and some who were more familiar could not help but joke.

Cao Xuan bowed, took the silver bear trophy in his hand, and stepped off the stage amid applause. Lao Mouzi glanced at it with a calm expression.

The outside world still has a lot of opinions on this ending. It's not that "Hunting" is not good, but I didn't expect it to be such a big success.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether a film can win an award is directly related to the selection of the chairman of the jury.

Berlin, Film Festival Awards Ceremony

Before that, there were only three top three best actor in Europe, Uncle Ge and Liang Chaowei's Cannes best actor, and Xia Yu's Venice best actor.

Last year, the international chapter won the award with "The Grandmaster" and won the award, and finally won the Golden Horse Actress Queen, becoming the second three-gold actress, the third three-gold Grand Slam, and the second Chinese-language Grand Slam.

"It seems to be the best film debut. It's a Mexican director."

Not to mention that Cao Xuan gave a reason he couldn't refuse. Lao Mouzi had a golden bear in his house, so he was too embarrassed to grab it if he didn't have it.

The international chapter is already a bit desperate, let alone catching up, the standing is chasing further and further, and the gap is getting wider and wider.

There are several directors, as well as actors such as Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, International Zhang, etc., and even Yuan Shikong Yu Nan, Zhang Zhen, Fan Xiaopang, and a certain Zhao have all been judges of the top three in Europe.

But Lao Mouzi was calm and calm, and the rest of the crew were not so calm. This is the best actor in Berlin.

"There is also "Massage". Director Lou is also one of the top three regulars in Europe."

"Come out, come out."

It is a very rare honor, but the addition of a second and third place in front of it inevitably discounted it a bit. Cao Xuan and Young Master Zhou stole a lot of the heat and limelight.

"Fuck!"

"Anyway, Liang Chaowei's judge is just like that, don't think it's too useful."

Before the restructuring of the Big Three in Europe, as long as one of them is elected, the other two cannot participate.

But fortunately, the International Chapter and Cao Xuan didn't have any direct competition. Although Cao Xuan was a bit sour, she couldn't help it, so she simply lay down on the Buddhist line.

However, after so many years of art exams, similar exam questions have been picked up in the morning, and it is difficult to come up with any new tricks that catch people's eyes, basically just a few routines.

.........

But then again, the more unremarkable and ordinary scenes are, the less likely they are to stand out, and it is easy to be mediocre or overdone if you are not careful, which tests the creativity of art candidates to a certain extent.

In terms of international business achievements, Cao Xuan is the number one among Chinese film stars, with a cumulative box office of several billion dollars. Even now in the field of international literature and art, Cao Xuan has become the only one of the top three European film stars in recent years.

The real gold content is the chairman of the three major European judges.

"Three Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for this competition, and the expectation of winning the award is quite high."

Cao Xuan knew that "Hunting" had a high probability of winning the award. After all, he had done a lot of preparations before, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to Berlin?
But Cao Xuan didn't expect that James would save face in this way, because he was afraid of causing controversy, otherwise Cao Xuan would have intentionally asked Lao Zhan to rub him for a meal, and then made the arrangements clearly.

There are still many people in China who have won this honor.

But to celebrate, you have to go home to celebrate. Soon, Teacher Zeng calmed down and focused on the business.

Of course, we can't really ignore the judges. After all, there are only six or seven judges in each selection, and they still have some say in whether the award is awarded or not.

Lao Mouzi was a little bit reluctant. He was calm just now because the actor had nothing to do with him. The Golden Bear was different. It was a serious honor, how could he not care.

Compared with him, Cao Xuan is considered a "rookie".

"The Berlin Awards have begun."

If this Berlin International Film Festival has the same virtue, then the best actress is an Asian actor, even if the best actor of Cao Xuan and others is not in vain, the chances of winning the award will be greatly reduced.

That being the case, the one with a higher winning rate must be given priority.

Compared with ordinary judges, the chairman of the jury has a higher right to speak, and even directly affects the selection style and judges of the session. Nominations and awards cannot be separated from the finalization of the chairman of the jury.

After getting the trophy back, Cao Xuan couldn't put it down a little bit, the gold one is more comfortable to look at than the silver one.

"Since you are a judge, why not?"

As a result, I heard the winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture - "The Hunt".

These art candidates are young, and their hearts are both immature and youthful, but also full of youth and frivolity.

Zeng Li smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, but he was clearly in a happy mood.

"Our teacher said that the judges have no right to speak, and the chairman of the judges is in charge."

Someone kept refreshing Weibo, and when they saw the announcement of the first award, they rushed to say hello.

But friends sometimes joked and mentioned a few words, he didn't take it to heart, Cao Xuan, who was narrow-minded, would remember it all for him.

"..."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, many knowledgeable students felt chills. You must know that the three major European universities are very particular about geopolitics, and some of them even simply share pork.

Fan Xing and Lao Mouzi also have some contact with each other, otherwise "Hunting" would not give up Cannes, which is the top three in Europe, and choose the Berlin Film Festival, which is less influential, because it has the highest chance of winning.

"Congratulations, Teacher Zeng."

Liang Chaowei, a judge, is not as hard-boiled online.

Some are queuing up for the exam, some have finished the exam, or left in a hurry, or waited for their companions, and some got together to share their interview experience just now.

Cao Xuan even began to think that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would win a Cannes Best Actor or a Venice Best Actor, which would be a serious solution to his hatred.

Several art candidates got together to chat enthusiastically, analyzing and lamenting whose exam questions were more difficult. In fact, after listening to the knowledgeable people, they had different opinions from them.

There was a burst of noise in the crowd, which can be regarded as the most lively news in the past two days.

However, film awards like this are generally kept by directors and producers, and Cao Xuan is theoretically eligible to collect them.

On the whole, it's not as easy to act as the father-son reunion. Of course, the premise is that the students have a certain foundation, otherwise they won't be able to act out, and probably won't be able to please.

Although the Penguin Star video is also equipped with two translation commentaries, they are not professional hosts, and their level is limited.

Not to mention that at this moment, many people are so excited that they almost call out that I am the next top three best actor/actress in Europe.

In terms of influence and status in the European film circle, Gong Li is definitely the leader in the Chinese circle. Even if Cao Xuan is more famous, he will be willing to bow down in this regard.

"With Cao Xuan and Director Zhang here this time, I think there is hope."

"The performance sketch I got was the thief found on the bus, which happened to be passed by our teacher."

Therefore, more people choose to broadcast text and pictures on Weibo. Although the delay is a few minutes slower, it saves a lot of "side details" that people don't care about, and the information is more accurate and pure.

But this group of art candidates can be regarded as half insiders. Whether it is from the perspective of future entertainment professionals or half of film and television artists, they are still more curious and looking forward to the ownership of the Berlin Award.

Moreover, Gong Li is the only one who has served as the chairman of the jury for two terms, and she has presided over both Berlin and Venice.

If it is a foreign movie, just ignore it, and only then will there be a few heated discussions about Chinese movies.

In a tense atmosphere, one person suddenly swiped to the webpage first, yelling, followed by cheers one after another.

"Hahahaha, awesome, "Hunting" won."

Some people couldn't help cheering up, but more people still kept refreshing the webpage, no matter whether it was life or death, they had to give a letter to make people feel at ease.

The latter, in particular, is a serious Silver Bear Award. Although the gold content is not particularly high, it is still a good result.

"Director Zhang, you also have it at home, or I'll keep this one."

He had already avenged himself when he collected all the Chinese Grand Slams, and this time he was able to vent his anger again.

"Cao Xuan, China's first Berlin actor."

Cao Xuan is the fourth European Best Actor in China and the first Berlin Best Actor.

But even this group of young and frivolous sons of heaven, facing the belonging of the top three Berlin movie stars in Europe, couldn't help feeling adored and witnessing history.

On the contrary, he still has the leisure to tease Yuan Quan: "Let your guy show off his silver lion to me every day, and now I'll see how he gets off."

James Shams, chairman of the jury for this year's Berlin Film Festival, is a good friend of director Li An. He is one of the screenwriters of "Lust, Caution", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He also has many connections with the Chinese film industry. , Golden Horses and Golden Statues have won awards.

Several Chinese opera examiners who had just finished a round of interviews also heard the loud cheers outside.

Especially his competitors Qin Hao and Liao Fan, their dreams were shattered, and it was hard not to feel depressed.

The one surnamed Cao is an evildoer, I can't afford to fight him to the death...

Everyone rushed to watch and asked if it was a Chinese movie, and the student who reported it shook his head.

But it’s not too much to say that he’s particularly excited. He has won more than [-] Grammys, and he has broken records for international music awards. There is no reason to be so happy for a movie award.

Cao Xuan opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Lao Mouzi in surprise with the equally surprised Lao Mouzi, their consciousness was very clear.

Yuan Quan couldn't help but give him a blank look.

There are only a few awards in the main competition unit, and there are only about five or six silver bears for non-short films, and only one golden bear.

As a result, this stunned gave the best actor, best actress and best screenwriter to Asia, and in the end he also gave the big gift package of the Golden Bear to "Hunting".

The students discussed lively and even had a quarrel. Although what they said was somewhat one-sided because of their knowledge, there was still some merit.

This is one of the three big winners in Europe. Venice has won two Golden Lions and one Silver Lion. Berlin also has a Golden Bear and a Silver Bear. Although there is only one jury award in Cannes, Uncle Ge won Best Actor for "To Live".

What's more complicated is the international chapter. She came to join in the fun this time. "The Grandmaster" also participated in the exhibition, but she didn't enter the main competition, but she was also invited to participate in the red carpet.

So everyone continued to fall into the process of discussing and quarreling, and it was only when the awards were announced that they regained their senses.

"That Zhang Xincheng has the best overall score so far. Let's talk to him later. I heard that he won the first place in Nortel, Zhongchuan and Junyi. We can't let this kind of good seedling go..."

The other two exam questions seem to be ordinary, and they are also very simple to perform.

After struggling for a while, Lao Mouzi chose to respect the boss, at worst, he would go back and make another copy, since outsiders would not know anyway.

Even if you don't engage in geopolitics, you can't play like this. Cao Xuan doubts whether this is a traitor.

The international chapter was a little annoyed, but before her next move, Cao Xuan had already hit the top three in Europe and successfully captured the Silver Bear.

While chatting, a few students paid more attention to the news on the Internet, swiped their phones for a while, and then exposed the news.

"It's not necessarily true. I checked the information, and there were more films that were shortlisted than this year's, and the awards were zero."

On the contrary, the most recognized hit "The Grand Budapest Hotel" won only one silver bear,
Controversy is inevitable, and James, the chairman of the jury, and even Liang Chaowei are bound to be implicated.

Yuanquan has a good relationship, and he didn't expect to win an award. His mentality was more of speechless disgust, and the emotions of others were more complicated.

Since then, the three major European film stars have been gathered by the Chinese.

Cao Xuan himself was quite happy. After all, the Chinese Grand Slam was completed, and there was no need to think about the Oscars. Only the top three in Europe were left with enough gold content.

The reunion of the father and son for many years, normally speaking, must be the most difficult performance. It needs to interpret the emotions of the characters, as well as have a certain explosive power and acting skills.

Surprise is nothing but surprise, but I still deserve the award. Cao Xuan and Lao Mouzi pushed the drama for a while, and the latter came to the stage to accept the award, and the princess of "Hunting" added another golden bear.

Most of the students were a little bored, maybe they might not all like Cao Xuan, but in this case, they must be on their side.

"Stop arguing, the first prize is out."

James crazy? !

According to the division of prizes in Europe, Asia, and America, every family has a share, try to balance it.

"...Thank you again to all those who supported me. Your support is the biggest motivation for me to move forward."

Liang Chaowei served as a judge and several Chinese-language films were shortlisted, all with the shadow of Chairman James behind him.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately discouraged. It was not a Chinese-language film or a big name such as Cao Xuan who won the award, but everyone thought it was a "side matter".

If there are only a few people in China who have this qualification, Lao Mouzi, Wang Sunjing, and Gong Li.

This year's Berlin Awards Ceremony was broadcast live on Penguin Video, but not many people watched it. It was mainly live, so there were no subtitles, and most netizens couldn't understand it.

"Massage" won the "Best Cinematography" in the main competition unit, and "Fireworks in the Day" won the "Best Screenplay".

Most of the art test students, especially those from the acting department, are generally more cheerful and bold than the students, and they are also keen on communication.

However, after all, more than 20 films are competing together, and their expectations are not too high, and their mentality is still stable.

"Don't worry, it hasn't been announced yet."

Now that the movie king is in his hands, Cao Xuan's mentality is more stable and relaxed, and he has already begun to think about where to put his trophy in the collection cabinet.

"Mine is also relatively simple, that is, being late for work."

Although the subsequent actors are also highly accomplished actors, they also have their own shortcomings, which also means that the threshold for the judges is not particularly high.

Ordinary netizens, except Cao Xuan fans or senior movie fans, at least have no need to watch the live broadcast.

But this has little to do with Cao Xuan.

He and Lao Mouzi respectively accepted interviews from many European and domestic media, and chatted about how they felt about capturing the twin bears.

By the way, I watched Fanxing finalize the copyright channel for "Hunting" to be sold in Europe. Not only "Hunting", but also "Fireworks in the Day" was also produced by Fanxing, and even offered to help promote Lou Ye's "Massage" later.

Cao Xuan didn't like the money, but for Lou Ye, who focuses on literature and art, he could sell a little more money, and it would be easier to get the investment for the next movie...
