China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 251 Accidental Repeating 【Two in One】

Although there were various accidents at the Berlin Film Festival this time.

But I have to say, relying on many operations, this year's Berlin Film Festival has obviously succeeded in winning back the attention of the media.

The British film magazine "Screen", the American "Hollywood Report" and "Variety Show" each sent a team of no less than 20 people to publish daily during the festival.

So after the premiere of "No Man's Land", comments about "No Man's Land" appeared in the three major show magazines the next day.

……

This is a black allegory of modern society!

This is a story about animals!

This is a rare masterpiece in Chinese movies, interlocking and thought-provoking!

----------

The next day, in the hotel suite, when he saw "Silver Screen" commenting on "No Man's Land", Ning Hao was overjoyed.

Goofy knew why he was so happy.

Because this guy told Gao Fei two years ago that he wanted to tell a black fable about animals.

And now, he finally did it.

It's just that the media's evaluation of the movie is not all good.

For example, "Hollywood Reporter" rated "No Man's Land" as "average".

……

A poor parody of a western!
It can be seen from the director's camera movement that he wants to show the darkness of human nature, but he is still immature after all.

Not bloody enough, not cruel enough!
Perhaps the director of "No Man's Land" should watch more movies of John Ford and old cowboy Eastwood, there must be a lot of gains!

——【Hollywood Report】

----------

As for the other magazine "Variety Show", it is quite satisfactory. It did not praise or belittle "No Man's Land" too much, but only commented on the depth of the film from the perspective of film critics.

For this reason, the final score of "No Man's Land" is not very high, only 2.1 points.

Seeing Ning Hao's expression seemed a little disappointed, Xing Na who was at the side immediately comforted her:
"Don't think too much, it doesn't matter what they say, whether you can win the prize or not depends on how the judges choose!"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but nodded and added:
"Not bad! Although "Hollywood Report" is as famous as "Variety Show" and "Screen", it is actually far less professional than the other two."

"It mainly inherits the American style. The first half is short film reviews, and the second half is all kinds of gossip."

"Just listen to what they say, don't pay too much attention to it."

"Moreover, in the history of the Berlin Film Festival, there have been many films that were popular in the show but ended up with nothing!"

After the two said this, Ning Hao's expression obviously improved a lot.

But it's no wonder that he is so concerned about gains and losses. After all, regardless of the hastily shot "Search" before, this "No Man's Land" should be Ning Hao's first film nominated for the main competition unit of the three major film festivals.

In this way, it is no wonder that he lost his composure.

So in order to prevent him from thinking about other things, Gao Fei and Huang Bo simply ordered some German specialties such as charcoal-grilled pig's trotters, sour beef stew, and smoked dark beer sausages.

While eating and drinking enough, he poured Ning Hao unconscious by the way.

And when Han Li and Xing Na came in again, they saw the three lying on the carpet crookedly, sleeping like dead pigs.

After trying to move it a few times without success, Xing Na rolled her eyes helplessly from exhaustion, and then she simply said to Han Li:

"Xiao Han, let them sleep here, there is heating anyway!"

Fortunately, Han Li still has some conscience.

Seeing what Xing Na said, after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and said:
"Wait, I'll get them a quilt!"

After finishing speaking, she hurried into the room and took a quilt to cover the three of them, then left with Xing Na with a snickering smile.

(⊙o⊙)...Obviously Han Li has a conscience, but not much!
……

The next morning.

When Gao Fei was training Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in his dream, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why do these two white and tender girls feel so hard to the touch?

In fact, Gao Fei can sometimes realize that he is dreaming in a dream.

But he likes leisure, hates work, and is greedy for pleasure. Sometimes he doesn't want to wake up even though he knows it's a dream. He just wants to enjoy it one more time.

But at this moment, just when Gao Fei was thinking about sleeping for a while, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, so Gao Fei had to wake up suddenly from his dream.

And when Gao Fei sat up in a daze while clutching his stomach, he realized that he was actually sleeping on the carpet.

And... What made him speechless the most was that he actually slept with two men overnight.

It was Huang Bo who kicked unconsciously on his stomach in his sleep just now, which surprised him from his dream.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was speechless.

Mad, luckily neither Ning Hao nor Huang Bo like fencing, otherwise he would have been in danger last night.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help touching the back with lingering fear.

Then looking at Ning Hao who was sleeping soundly with Huang Bo's feet on the carpet, Gao Fei immediately shook his head with a look of disgust, and then slipped away decisively.

But before leaving, he took a photo to commemorate it.

Not long after, when Ning Hao and Huang Bo "woke up together", as expected, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere.

Even if he didn't know that Ning Hao didn't like men, Huang Bo would have wondered if he had been unspoken.

And when the two stared at each other awkwardly for a long time, they realized that Gao Fei was not in the room.

So the two of them didn't know what to say for a while, and immediately decided to focus on Gao Fei first.

It was only after the two of them hurriedly washed up that they realized that Gao Fei had gone out to watch a movie early in the morning.

As a result, Ning Hao and Huang Bo had no choice but to give up.

……

December 2008, 02.

After waiting for a long time, the mystery will finally be revealed tonight.

To the delight of Gao Fei and the others, they finally received a notice from the organizer, inviting them to attend the next closing ceremony.

After hearing the news, Ning Hao's heart that had been hanging for half a month finally let go.

Because according to past practice, only award-winning films will be notified by the sponsor.

Therefore, after receiving this call, it basically explained that this time "No Man's Land" must be rewarded, the only difference is whether it is a big prize or a small prize.

So on the morning of the 19th, Gao Fei and the others got up in high spirits. After a long and boring wait, Gao Fei finally wore a custom-made suit sponsored by Seven Wolves, and strutted onto the red carpet.

Compared with the red carpet of the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony was obviously a little deserted. After all, some media came for those Hollywood stars.

When the Hollywood crew left, these people naturally left too.

It's just that although there were fewer media reporters, the fans on both sides of the red carpet at the closing ceremony were more enthusiastic than those at the opening ceremony.

Because after these few days of screenings, many film lovers who came to the Berlin Film Festival have finally become familiar with the films participating in the main competition unit.

So whenever a crew walks on the red carpet, these hardcore movie fans are not stingy at all to cheer for their favorite crew.

The crew of "No Man's Land" is no exception.

Even as someone who has shown several films abroad, many movie fans were shocked by Gao Fei's performance after watching "No Man's Land" these days.

So privately I started looking for Goofy's other movies at local video stores in Berlin.

Not to mention, several of Gao Fei's films, such as "Kung Fu", "Myth" and "Search", are sold in Berlin, but the quantity is not very large.

However, the succession of international appearances did make many foreign movie fans finally remember Gao Fei's handsome face.

So when Gao Fei walked on the red carpet, except for the white flashing lights, the fans on both sides could finally call out his name accurately.

Although their Chinese is not very proficient, Gao Fei still enthusiastically waved to the group of girls and even blew a kiss.

As a result, the sound of the shutter that was about to stop suddenly sounded crazily again.

Because Gao Fei's performance really surprised many reporters.

In their cognition, Chinese people have always been restrained, reserved, and even dull.

Therefore, when they suddenly met such a shameless and bohemian talent like Gao Fei, they were really uncomfortable for a while.

But no matter how long the red carpet is, it will only take a few minutes to finish.

After they entered the movie palace hall, it didn't take long for various media, audiences, and celebrities to gradually gather.

So far, the awards of the 58th Berlin Film Festival have finally begun to be announced.

According to the past practice, after Mr. Costa made his appearance with the jury, the award ceremony can officially start after the speech is finished.

However, something that surprised all the filmmakers in the auditorium happened again.

Seeing that Mr. Costa did not give any explanation, he announced that due to special reasons, the original participating film "Katyn Massacre" will be changed to a participating film and will no longer participate in the award selection.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the movie palace.

You must know that among the 26 films participating in this Berlin Film Festival, although "Katyn Massacre" is not the highest score in the show catalogue, it is indeed recognized as a popular candidate for the Golden Bear Award.

In terms of subject matter, among the many films this time, "Katyn Massacre" is the film that best fits the interest and theme of the Berlin Film Festival.

Because this is a World War II political film, it fully fits the temperament of the Berlin Film Festival and its preference for political themes.

Secondly, the director of the film is not an ordinary person.

Although the director Andrzej Wajda is a Polish, but in 2000, he had already won the Oscar Lifetime Honor Award.

He himself was the winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1981.

It can be said that from technique to subject matter, "Katyn Massacre" is a strong contender for the Golden Bear Award.

However, such a popular winner was disqualified before the award ceremony, which undoubtedly made it difficult for many filmmakers to accept.

Yes, in the eyes of most filmmakers off the field, "Katyn Massacre" was disqualified for no reason.

At this moment, even the original opponent couldn't help complaining about the director Andrzej Wajda, and wanted to ask what happened.

However, Mr. Costa still did not give any explanation. After a brief speech, he announced the start.

And when the small awards were being presented on the stage, Gao Fei and Ning Hao in the audience were also discussing the sudden change just now.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Feidang said decisively with a slight frown:

"Don't think about it, this must be the interference of the polar bear."

After watching the movie a few days ago, because he didn't understand that period of history, Gao Fei went to learn about the historical background of the movie.

Only then did Gao Fei know that it was adapted from real events and told the story of the massacre of thousands of Polish prisoners of war in the early 40s.

At that time, the Soviet Union hoped to establish a global proletarian government, and Poland happened to belong to the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union at that time.

So in order to purify the team and maintain the rule.

In the spring of 1940, the Soviet secret police: the NKVD, with the approval of the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, carried out an organized massacre of captured Polish prisoners of war.

About 300 scientists, hundreds of lawyers, engineers, teachers, more than 100 writers and journalists, 200 pilots, 20 university professors, and many public officials were killed by Soviet troops.

Therefore, the Katyn massacre is also known as the "Katyn Incident" and "Katyn Forest Massacre".

It's just about this incident, although there are already countless evidences that prove that it was done by the Soviets.

However, since 1943, when the mass grave in the Katyn Forest "28 meters long and 16 meters wide ... tens of thousands of corpses stacked in 12 stacks" was discovered, the Soviet Union has always refused to admit it.

It was not officially recognized by the Soviet Union until April 1990, 4, when the President of Poland visited the Soviet Union.

But it only called it "one of the serious crimes of Stalinism" and refused to disclose the historical documents about the "Katyn Incident" in its possession.

It can be said that "The Katyn Massacre", like "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist", are all directors based on their own real experiences and wrote a sad song for their own nation.

It's just that the Polish elegy is undoubtedly a scandal that the polar bears don't want to mention today.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

It's no wonder that the Berlin Film Festival will admit defeat this time.

After all, since the United States deployed the anti-missile system to Eastern Europe years ago, the relationship between the United States and Russia has become increasingly tense.

And at this tense time, if the Berlin Film Festival still insists on allowing "Katyn Massacre" to participate, then it may become a stage for the United States and Russia to fight each other.

Although it is hard to say who will win or lose in the US and Russia, Gao Fei can be sure that if this happens, the Berlin Film Festival will not end well.

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Ning Hao fell silent immediately.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei didn't comfort him anymore.

After all, in life, who can really be free!
Adults are uncomfortable, and uncomfortable are not adults.

We can do it, but we can only sing and do it!

And just when many filmmakers in the auditorium had different ideas, the award presentation on stage finally got to the point.
