tearjerker director

Chapter 724 This film has Chinese subtitles
After the news that "Midnight's Confusion" beat Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful" to become the opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival came out.

There were even more mourning in the country.

Although the opening film may not necessarily win an award, it is actually a kind of weathervane most of the time if it can become the opening film.

And more importantly, Li Yi's films have all become opening films and won awards before.

This time, he didn't compete with "Midnight's Confused", so it's easy to think of it.

Does it also mean that the competitiveness of Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful" has plummeted?

Of course, the three major European film festivals are very good at playing, and they usually don't let people guess the result.

So, although pessimistic, there must still be hope, and isn't there He Shuhua?

In any case, this year's Berlin Film Festival is indeed very "Huaguo".

Because among the [-] films shortlisted for the main competition unit, including Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful", there are a total of six films.

In addition, the chairman of the jury is a Chinese actress like He Shuhua, so this year's Berlin Film Festival is also the one that has attracted the most attention from domestic movie fans in recent years.

However, for fans who come to the Berlin Film Festival, the time of the Berlin Film Festival is actually very unfriendly.

It's winter, and the weather is very cold. This is actually the reason why Hollywood goes to Cannes and Venice, and rarely comes to Berlin. The red carpet is too cold!

Berlin in February is really frustratingly cold!

That's also the main reason why so few small-time actors are Ken's participation in the Berlinale.

Just imagine walking down the red carpet in a dress with off-the-shoulder or off-calf at more than ten degrees above zero.

Who cares so much to put on the aura of a male god?I'm going to freeze to death, okay!Why do a bunch of actors put the main battlefield of the red carpet in Cannes?
Hey July, the weather is just right!

Speaking of the eight small European film festivals, Cannes can be said to be the most thorough initiative to move closer to business.

Although the Berlin Film Festival was held the earliest, it chose the hottest season to attract small-name actors, which naturally made the film festival more lively.

After all, for very few special fans of the film festival, the opening red carpet show is really a key point to watch.

However, the weather did not stop the enthusiasm of Huaguo movie fans.

Even in the hottest time of July, this year's Berlin Film Festival still attracted a small number of Chinese tourists.

The historical signs of Zhengzhi can easily be found on the streets of Berlin, such as the US-Soviet Charlie Checkpoint, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe, the Berlin Wall, etc., which are unknown tourist attractions in the world.

Therefore, outside such a city, the political nature of the Berlin Film Festival is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Therefore, the Berlin Film Festival is also the film festival with the most obvious appearance of political governance among the eight small film festivals in Europe.

Of course, "An Ugly Life" has no political appearance. After all, a film of that kind of theme does not care what the content is about, and the background of the story is very suitable for the Berlin Film Festival.

柏林电影节2月7日开幕，2月17日闭幕，而蛋疼的是《丑陋人生》的姜思时间居然是2月14日情人节当天。

Well, Valentine's Day or not is actually the point. The point is that Li Yi's time in "The Ugly Life" is only eight days away from the closing ceremony.

Although it is said that public relations have actually started since the opening of the film festival.

Still, the Li-Yi dates cast a pall over The Ugly's trip to Berlin.

Before the domestic movie fans heard the news, their expectations for "Ye Sheng Sheng Sheng" to win the award also dropped again and again.

"The Ugly Life" is arguably the movie that domestic movie fans pay the most attention to this year, mainly because of that movie, but whether the screening can complete the feat of a small slam.

So for the turmoil of "The Ugly Life", at that time, the level of domestic media business was very good.

For example, Jiang Si time.

"There are only eight days until the closing ceremony, so that's enough time for PR and marketing, right?"

"It's getting cold, does it mean that He Shuhua is the chairman of the jury? Why does "The Ugly Life" have any preferential treatment?"

"Is Director Dog so famous? Jiang Si on Valentine's Day, it's a good day, but it doesn't seem too late for the Berlin Film Festival, right?"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, so I'm going to be the first to be tricked, right?"

However, in reality, Zhanying didn't care too much about Li Yi's schedule in "Also Lives".

Few insiders who are knowledgeable in the industry actually know that it is actually a bad thing.

Because, the time of the movie Li Yi at the Berlin Film Festival is also not particular, but with domestic movie fans, I feel that the earlier the movie Li Yi is, the more time I have for public relations marketing, and the greater the probability of winning the prize It is quite the opposite.

Generally speaking, apart from the opening film, other works shortlisted in my main competition, occasionally, the later the screening, the more dramatic, and the most important thing is at the front!

Of course, for a movie that is aiming to win an award, the show time is actually a matter of course.

After all, the fundamental influence of the media in the venue is to the jury.

And those movies, in reality, are at most the works of the main competition unit, and the judges may really wait until Jiang Si to see them.

So, everything is just a gimmick.

Film festivals need various topics and attention, so naturally, I am happy to let Xiaojia discuss the big secrets of those film festivals.

Such a big secret is also not popularized by some domestic movie fans.

In fact, in the past, who would pay special attention to Li Yi's time in any movie?

That's where Jiang Si's influence lies. In fact, since the screening of "The Ugly Life" was decided to compete for this year's Berlin Golden Bear Award, it has already been regarded as the number one enemy by other films shortlisted in the main competition unit.

Do you really think Director Dog has a reputation?

If "An Ugly Life" is due to time constraints, even James Dean, we would like to get that movie to win this year's Oscars. Yes, this year is obviously too late, so we can only put it to next year.

Rather, it is said that the influence of the Berlin Film Festival is greater than that of the Oscars, but for the current screenings, the Berlin Golden Bear Award is really more important than the Oscars.

And the media in the same sea also listed "The Ugly Life" as the number one little upset of the Berlin Golden Bear Awards.

Even if it is the number one Xiao Leng, it must be!
Because then we would have less material to report.

In fact, there was no need for us to come so early for the screening, but after all, we wanted to save face for He Shuhua and the Berlin Film Festival, so we also participated in the opening ceremony and the screening.

It is true that there is really no reason why the Berlin Film Festival is colder than Cannes.

The red carpet show at the opening ceremony was a dismal one.

What's quite boring is that some male stars who want style and temperature can see you shivering from time to time on the red carpet.

That is to say, it is a male star who wants to see others rubbing the red carpet. Walking the red carpet in such a temperature is definitely a big challenge for a male star who has grown up and crossed a lot!
The opening film "Midnight's Confusion" was screened and watched with the cast and crew.

That movie, what the hell, was nowhere close to eight hours long.

Moreover, it even made Zhan Ying feel like he was in the wrong place.

why?
Because, the movie "Midnight's Confusion" is really small, almost making Zhanying think he's coming to Dongjing!

After all, although the weather is very hot, the temperature in the theater is very low.

There are a lot of people watching "Midnight's Confusion", after all, the point of view is very clear, right?

During the screening, I also saw fewer directors, actors, and movie fans from many countries.

This year's Berlin Film Festival said that it ushered in a year of Huaguo, it is really cautious.

That point can be seen from the obvious sponsor billboards with no Chinese flavor that can be seen everywhere outside the Berlin Film Festival.

And the Chinese tourists who can be seen everywhere on the streets can also be seen, as if Berlin has become the home of the Chinese country.

From the chairman of the jury, to the participating Chinese films, to the sponsors, and to the tourists who came to Berlin, there are a small number of Chinese faces.

That’s all, you have to know that the films screened at the Berlin Film Festival in the past came from all over the world. When I was young, I basically thought that there would be no Chinese subtitles.

So there are very few Huaguo movie fans who watch movies. When they were young, they just watched the movies.

Unless it is a small-scale movie with a clear point of view like "Midnight's Confusion", otherwise, very few people really watch movies.
But this year it is the same.

There are only fourteen films that can enter the main competition unit, but there are not many films that are screened under the Berlin Film Festival. Of course, those films that come out there may all come for awards.

Even fewer came to sell films.

And Huaguo was in the world in those years, as we all know, this is moneyless!
Therefore, it turned out that there are many movies with conspicuous roll-up posters placed behind the screening hall, and the Chinese movie titles are specially added below. typeface.

That is obviously more attractive to Chinese movie fans who come to the Berlin Film Festival.

For Huaguo movie fans who can come there to participate in the film festival, who is short of the money for this movie ticket?

However, very few movies are really friendly, with or without Chinese subtitles, very few times, it is really difficult to get Huaguo movie fans to pay.

At the same time, although the trading market of the Berlin Film Festival is more difficult than that of Cannes, it is more difficult to find leaks. Therefore, I can see that there are very few Chinese filmmakers in this year's Berlin Film Festival!
Therefore, those who can keep pace with the times, even if they have Chinese subtitles, at most, the movie will not have a Chinese name.

Selling films, it is shabby!
Art also needs money to create!
Many domestic media found that the highlight of the film festival was like a bloodbath. After all, it was the first time!
