Chapter 703 The Plan Can't Keep Up With Changes

It is conceivable that once Li Yi starts to compete for the last piece of the puzzle of the three major European film festivals, the Berlin International Film Festival, then, when the time comes, it will definitely attract global attention.

Then it will definitely be critical of Li Yi's movies.

Because there are too many people who would absolutely not like to see a true slam guy like this emerge.

Therefore, the person serving as the chairman of the jury will inevitably be under tremendous pressure.

If He Shuhua is the chairman of the jury of the Berlin International Film Festival, if Li Yiya competes for the Golden Bear Award, she will also face huge pressure from public opinion.

However, because of the unspoken rules of the film festival, pressure can also be a driving force at the same time.

After all, as much as there is opposition, there will be as many supporters, not to mention compatriots.

Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, forging iron requires hard work.

If Li Yi wants to win an award, he must come up with a high-level and high-quality film that also conforms to the theme of the Berlin International Film Festival.

What is the theme of the Berlin Film Festival?
It must be a topic related to political governance.

But for Li Yi, it is the first and the second big, mainly because there will be really no inspiration at all for a while.

"You, if you have no inspiration, you can meet and talk with Ms. He. She is the chairman of the jury of this Berlin International Film Festival. The list of other jurors has not been announced yet, but she must know." Zhao Guangming smiled and raised a question. Suggest.

Li Yi nodded. Compared with the large number of judges for the Oscars, public relations are more difficult and uncertain. The number of judges who can mainly determine the award at the three major European film festivals is much smaller.

Usually, the Berlin International Film Festival is similar to the other two European film festivals, and the number of judges in the main competition unit generally does not exceed ten.

Of course, don't think that a small number of people means better public relations. In fact, it's really hard to say.

Because compared with the Oscars, the jury members of the three major European film festivals, especially the jury members of the main competition unit, are basically filmmakers from different countries.

Each of them will have their own preferences and their own people to take care of.

The chairman of the jury does have a lot of power, but it doesn't mean that he can make a decision with one word.

In particular, He Shuhua is not as respected as Berto Manning, so she may have a lot of power to influence the award, but she must also obtain the support of the majority.

It can be said that it is difficult to compete for the awards of the three major European film festivals.

Even because of the unique preferences of the Berlin International Film Festival, its influence is often the second and third among the three major European film festivals.

But for Li Yi, the current Berlin International Film Festival is more important than the Oscars.

After all, what is not available is always in turmoil.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Guangming, Li Yi was also a little troubled. I have to say that this time is indeed the most promising one, but the problem is also here.

Li Yi simply didn't want to think about it anymore.

Let's shoot the film "Heaven's Reply" first.

The movie "Heaven's Reply" is just a small drama. For Li Yi, it is not too difficult.

Li Yi directly started preparing for the film.

In terms of actors, the main role, grandpa's play directly found the old man Xu Ding.

Xu Ding also worked with Li Yi at the beginning, but it was not that pleasant. It can be said that most of the actors who have worked with Li Yi are generally quite happy, except for the actors in "Life of Bitterness".

"Oh, it's still the protagonist?" Xu Ding said in surprise after reading the script.

Of course, it's not that he hasn't played the leading role before, but he didn't expect Li Yi to find him to play the leading role.

There are also many levels of old actors. For some old actors, their acting skills needless to say, but their fame and income are hardly proportional to their acting skills.

And some veteran actors need acting skills and fame.

Xu Ding is almost seventy this year, and he has acted in countless dramas in his life, but he has only a handful of leading roles.

"How is it? Grandpa Xu, is this character okay?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Okay, that's all right, but I'm a little puzzled, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing such a story about the old capital?" Xu Ding asked curiously.

Li Yi was already prepared for this.

"In the beginning, I really wanted to film the story of the grandparents in Hong Kong Island, but this is not doing as the Romans do. After all, the childhood of Hong Kong Island children is still very different from the childhood of children in the Mainland. If the film is released in the Mainland, then We must shoot something that can evoke everyone's childhood memories." Li Yi explained with a smile.

"Success! I'll take this role, tricycle, music greeting card, piggy bank, kite, hehe, interesting." Mr. Xu Ding nodded with a smile.

After Li Yi settled the actors' affairs, the filming was about to start.

It turned out that the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Xu Nannan called.

It was nothing, but the result
"I have it! You are going to be a father!" Xu Nannan said on the phone, a little nervous and a little excited.

Li Yi's first reaction was to be dumbfounded.

There has been no movement for so long. I didn't expect that Xu Nannan secretly went back to Hong Kong Island to spend a few days with Li Yi, but I didn't expect to be hit.

"You, don't you like it?" Xu Nannan asked a little disappointed when Li Yi on the other side of the phone didn't respond for a long time.

"No, no, I like it, I like it so much! It's just a little sudden" Li Yi said quickly.

To be honest, he also felt that he was a scumbag, but Xu Nannan and Mu Qing both knew each other's existence.

It's just that they all tacitly pretended not to know.

For example, the last time Xu Nannan returned to Hong Kong, Mu Qing actually knew about it, and she didn't look for Li Yi during that time.

"I just wronged you." Li Yi said guiltily.

"It's okay, I'm already very satisfied." Xu Nannan said instead.

"Well, I'll fly over right away." Li Yi suddenly had an idea in his heart. Although that was still pretty scumbag, at least, for Xu Nannan and the baby in her belly, it could be regarded as compensation.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yi directly threw the crew to Zhuo Yixiong.

Then flew directly to North America.

As a result, when I got off the plane, I saw Xu Nannan waiting at the pick-up gate. When she saw Li Yi, she rushed over and threw herself into Li Yi's arms.

Li Yi hugged her quickly, and said worriedly: "Grandma, you are not alone now, and you are still bluffing like this, so you are not afraid of getting hurt."

"It's only been less than three months, it's okay. I just miss you so much." Xu Nannan said with her arms around Li Yi's neck.

In fact, she rarely makes such a move on such occasions, probably because she is pregnant, so her mood changes a lot, so she has such a reckless move.
