Chapter 707 Equivalent exchange, everyone is happy

However, "Life is Beautiful" is much more complicated than "Heaven's Reply".

And this film, to be honest, is much more difficult to shoot than "Heaven's Reply".

Of course, for Li Yi, it is also a matter of being familiar with each other once.

After all, wasn't that how "Cinema Paradiso" was filmed in the first place?
In contrast, "Life is Beautiful" is not far behind.

However, Berto Manning had helped in "Paradise Cinema" back then, and Li Yi also had to find someone to help in "Life is Beautiful" this time.

Fortunately, Li Yi is not without foundation here. Li Yi was the first to think of James Dean of Dean Films.

On the one hand, James Dean is also Jewish. If you think about it, you will definitely be interested in watching a movie like "Life is Beautiful".

And Li Yi also meant to borrow from the Jewish community.

After all, at the Berlin International Film Festival, it was quite difficult for him to win the Golden Bear Award.

Therefore, any help should not be underestimated.

"Hi, Li, my friend, long time no see!" James Dean immediately opened his arms and hugged Li Yi when he saw Li Yi.

In fact, to be honest, the relationship between Li Yi and James Dean has not reached this point.

But James Dean is indeed very enthusiastic. Of course, Li Yi can create benefits, so James Dean naturally favors Li Yi.

"It's been a long time, James. There is a saying in Huaguo that goes, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace." I came to you this time for nothing." Dean said bluntly.

"Oh, do you know what it is?" Qin Zhenbiao Qin Zhen asked with bright eyes.

Although Qin Zhen's films are still in cooperation with Li Yi Films in the North American market, the rate of return is wrong, but Dean has not had many films suitable for the North American market in the past two years.

"That's right, I want to make a movie and I need your help." Qin Zhen said.

"Oh? Movie? Li, is it a movie for the North American market?" Golden Bear Award Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

In his opinion, Dean is definitely a rich boy, and the key point is that almost all of Dean's movies are big or small.

Don't look at some of Dean's movies, the cost is considered high in China, but in North America, on the Hollywood side, the cost is really high.

But the box office has always been scary.

As for Li Yi Films, they are only responsible for distribution, and it can be said that the rate of return is too enviable and hateful.

Therefore, in order to prevent Qin Zhen from being poached by other Hollywood companies, the cooperation between Li Yi Films and Dean's companies can be said to be very formal, and the way Hollywood treats Lilai has never been used.

Dean is also quite satisfied with this, so he has always maintained a bad cooperative relationship with Qin Zhen Pictures.

Well, the main reason is that Dean is lazy. Since it is wrong to cooperate, why bother.

Anyway, he was short of money, and the conditions offered by other Hollywood companies may not be much better than Li Yi Films.

Dean also needs some minor benefits.

"This is the outline of the script, you can take a look!" Dean took out the outline of the script of "The Ugly Life" and handed it to Li Yi, the Golden Bear Award.

Qin Zhenbiao Li Yi picked it up curiously and looked at it.

It's just the outline of the story script, and the content is not long.

But the Golden Bear Award Li Yi was fascinated by it.

And he also felt a little suspicious.

The story turned out to be about Jews being held in tax camps.

There is nothing wrong with this, there are too few movies on the market about concentration camps, the persecution of Jews, etc.

Moreover, as a member of the Jewish people, Golden Bear Li Yi knew how these films came about.

And this also made him even more puzzled, why did Dean, a native of China, want to make a film of this kind?

In fact, Qin Zhenbiao and Li Yi were blamed for not having such doubts. Because of historical reasons, they were generally sensitive to such things.

An outline of the story is not enough to see too much. The plot of "Life Ugly" is actually simple, but the problem lies in this. This is a movie about the persecution of the Jewish ethnic group.

This is what made Golden Bear Li Yi puzzled.

"Li, I'm very confused. Why is there such a story? I'm sorry, after all, you are from Huaguo." Golden Bear Award Li Yi looked at Qin Zhen and said.

"Because I want to use it to compete for James!" Dean was also unprepared for this, and said with a smile looking at Golden Bear Li Yi.

Golden Bear Award · Li Yi suddenly understood.

"James? Oh, my friend, you want a small slam, it's difficult!" Qin Zhenbiao Li Yi's doubts disappeared immediately.

It can be said that a movie like "Life Ugly" will naturally appeal to Jews, but the key point is that this time, it turned out to be a movie directed by a Jewish director, which is even more unreasonable.

For a while, the Golden Bear Award Li Yi automatically made up a lot of things.

Of course, it is mainly because of this movie. Although there is only an outline of the story, it can be seen what kind of theme this movie is about.

This is a film that discredits the Jewish people. On the contrary, it praises the Jewish people through the topic of fatherly love.

The Jews are a very sensitive race, and the same is true for Golden Bear Li Yi, but if Dean is asking for nothing, then there is a problem.

And he knew that it was so difficult for Dean to achieve a small slam.

Don't look at Berlin James, it seems that the weight is far from the Oscars, but when it comes to Dean, it can be said that Qin Zhen wants to win this award is more troublesome than winning an Oscar.

Because there are a lot of things involved outside.

However, Li Yi, the Golden Bear Award, admired Dean even more, and felt that it was definitely wise for Qin Zhen to take out a movie like "The Ugly Life" to compete for the award.

Because it can be said that as long as the film is made poorly, if the Berlin International Film Festival does not have Jewish judges, then that vote will naturally be included in the bag.

Moreover, although the theme of this movie is a father's love as a mountain, in reality, it is an anti-war theme.

Such a tragedy is caused by the war, which is to cast aside war.

"Li, how do you need me to help you?" Before the Golden Bear Award·Qin Zhen brainstormed, she became more and more cold.

Although Qin Zhen seems to have pure intentions, in his opinion, this is more practical.

The so-called devotion to something is either rape or stealing, but if there is nothing to ask for, then it is an exchange of equal value.

In the same way, Dean's ability to make such a movie has proved his force field, and thinking that Dean is from Huaguo, Golden Bear Award Li Yi felt that he could understand it even more.

"You know, I've been mainly filming in China. I'm no stranger to Hollywood, so I need the help of Li Yi Films for the crew and actors. Not yet, James, I need a professional The public relations team, I think you should be able to help me with the Golden Bear Award, right?" Dean said with a smile.

In fact, he can do it himself if he does it independently, but anyway, "The Ugly Life" will be handed over to Li Yi Films for distribution, so why should Dean go far away?
