King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 271 "Datang" is officially shortlisted for the 50th Berlin Film Festival

Time flies by on November 11, and all subsequent productions of "Datang" have been completed.

That afternoon, Yu Hao immediately asked someone to take it for review.

He doesn't want to be a banned director for several years, nor does he want to be an underground director.

After finishing his work, he looked at a few people and said with a smile: "The post-production of "Datang" has finally come to an end. I will give everyone a period of vacation to have a good rest."

Zhou Ying rubbed his temples and said, "It's really time to take a good rest. I haven't been so busy for so long."

When she got home, Gao Yuanyuan was shocked and looked at Yu Hao in disbelief:

"Senior brother, how did you end up like this? I haven't seen you for more than half a month, why are you acting like this? If I didn't know that you are not that kind of person, I would have thought you were doing something."

It was true that Yu Hao's appearance at this time was very different from before. He had long messy hair, an unkempt beard, and a strange smell.

Yu Hao smiled and picked up the clothes, smelled it, and then said, "Is it supposed to be okay?"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Yu Hao and said with a speechless face: "Why don't you look in the mirror? You don't have the same cool look as before. If you are called a tramp, no one will refute you."

Yu Hao lifted up his long hair, shook his head, and said coquettishly: "Are you okay? There is no such handsome homeless man as me."

Gao Yuanyuan said in a dumbfounded voice: "Stop being so beautiful, let's wash up quickly."

After saying that, he dragged Yu Hao towards the third floor.

In the next few days, Gao Yuanyuan played her role as a fashionista and led Yu Hao to do various looks.

A few days later, looking at Yu Hao in the mirror, Gao Yuanyuan said with satisfaction: "This is the senior brother I know. What did he look like before?"

Yu Hao said with a stern expression: "The main reason is that I'm so handsome and I look good in anything I wear."

On the other side, the reviewers started discussing after reading "Datang" submitted by Yu Hao.

A young man looked at their leader and asked with confusion: "Leader, there is nothing wrong with Yu Hao's film. Why not just pass the review?"

The leader frowned and said: "I know it can pass the review, but directors like Yu Hao like to make some metaphors, and you have to observe carefully. Especially this kind of film that is competing for awards is more likely to have problems. We can't have any more problems. .”

Another young man said: "No way? Yu Hao's films have never had any problems before. He is not that kind of person."

The leader shook his head and said, "You guys have a look, I'll report it to the superiors and see how they react."

Later, he reported the incident.

The next day, Tong Gang and a group of people watched "Datang" in a screening room of the Optoelectronics Center.

In the majestic soundtrack, the film officially kicked off.

Watching the scene after scene, everyone burst into tears and remembered a lot.

After watching it, a leader looked at several people and asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this film?"

Ju Chang shook his head and said: "Leader, I don't see any problems. In this film, I saw the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, the loyalty and bravery of the Anxi Army, and the faith."

Tong Gang patted his chest and said: "Leader, I have watched Yu Hao grow up. He is a child of Beijing Film Studio. Some people like to say this and that because of their own growth reasons.

But Yu Hao doesn't. This kid grew up in Beijing Film Studio and later went to Xi'an with his parents. However, his thoughts are absolutely fine and he has never experienced anything bad.

This kid is a very down-to-earth, or very tacky, person. He told me at the time that making movies and TV series is not only for fame but also for money. Yu Hao would not do anything like those people. "

The leader looked at Tong Gang and joked: "It seems that this little guy has brought you a lot of profits for China Film."

Tong Gang chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, but his part is indeed relatively large."

The leader looked at Ju Chang: "Are you sure there is no problem?"

Ju Chang nodded and said: "No, there is no allusion, it is just the story of Anxi Army, there is no other understanding, but there is one thing, I think it is quite interesting,

I think the core of this film is the military spirit and faith. This kind of film is very suitable for education. "

The leader thought for a moment and said, "I'll report it to the boss. Since there's no problem, let him take it for review. However, it still needs to be beaten. Old boy, I think you understand."

Tong Gang stood up and patted his chest and said, "This is natural. If you don't tell me, I will tell him."

After returning to the company, Tong Gang called Yu Hao's phone number. After telling him about the review, the conversation changed:

"Xiao Yu, have you ever heard of the Six Gentlemen or Seven Gentlemen incident at Nortel?"

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Chief Jia? As a film and television person, I believe that no one in the future will not know this.

The impact of what these few people have done in the film and television industry is no less than the impact it had on people in the academic circle in the first year of Tianlin.

Originally, according to the development of the times, domestic film and television dramas should have experienced large-scale development around the millennium, both in form and production.

However, because of what these guys did, the door was directly covered with a platinum chain and layer upon layer of cement.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s take ghost movies as an example. Later, apart from Fei Ge’s “Love Is Afterlife”, there were no real ghosts in any movies or TV shows. Even if they did appear, it was either mental illness or fantasy, but they weren’t real anyway. .

Tong Gang said meaningfully: "Some people have indeed achieved results and proven themselves abroad, but that is because they have trampled on the hard work of their predecessors. How do you think we should treat such people?"

Yu Hao sneered and said: "Oh my god, this is a typical example of picking up the bowl to eat and then putting the bowl down to curse. If you let me go, just send them all in and squat for a few years."

Tong Gang raised his eyebrows, then laughed and said, "I know you kid can't even pee with them. Do your business well, but don't imitate them."

Yu Hao patted his chest and said, "Do you want to beg for food like them? You should kneel down and ask for food. I'm not crazy. I can't imitate them."

Tong Gang laughed and said, "It's good to know."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Hao sighed with emotion, maybe...

Then he began to contact Lao Mouzi to discuss the matter of sending it for review: "Director Zhang, I have completed the post-production of this film and am preparing to send it to Berlin, but I have no experience and I would like to learn from you."

Lao Mouzi chuckled and said: "What a coincidence, I'm almost ready here. If you don't worry, I can send it to you together. The chairman of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival is also one of us."

Yu Hao laughed and said: "Then I'll bother Director Zhang. By the way, how did you do the operation? I'm not like you, Director Zhang. No one knows me there, so I have to make other preparations. "Lao Mouzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "If you have the conditions, you can really try it.

The operation is not that troublesome. It just means that all the judges have a rough impression of your film. You have to let them watch it at least once. Otherwise, how can they know about your film? "

Yu Hao nodded and said: "It makes sense, Director Zhang. Tell me, if I take one million US dollars to operate, is it possible for every director to see it?"

Lao Mouzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's enough, that's enough, but I haven't tried it specifically. If you are interested, you can ask someone to go to Berlin and contact Gong Li. She is this year's Berlin jury chairperson. "

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I understand. Thank you very much, Director Zhang. I wish Director Zhang will achieve greater success in Berlin and come back with another Golden Bear Award."

Lao Mouzi smiled and said: "I also wish Director Yu a successful start in Berlin."

After the chat, Yu Hao asked Xu Qing to arrange people to prepare for review and operation.

Time flies to late December, and the Berlin International Film Festival judges are discussing the movie "The Tang Dynasty".

Yu Hao's one million US dollars was indeed not in vain. At least most of the judges here have watched the movie "The Tang Dynasty".

At this time, they had already begun discussing the shortlist for the main competition unit.

One judge said: "I think the Chinese film "The Tang Dynasty" is good. Many films this year focus on issues such as the generation gap and family structure. There are not many historical and political themes.

Through this film, I saw China’s Tang Dynasty and the perseverance of ancient Chinese soldiers. In the past, we all knew Chinatown and knew that Chinese people were proud of China’s Han and Tang Dynasties. I didn’t quite understand it before, but now I understand . "

Another judge commented: "The battle scenes in this film are very exciting. If I hadn't looked up the information, I would have thought it was a modern army. Compared with other similar films, the fighting scenes are a bit childish."

One of the judges said: "I am very interested in this director. This film is a master in terms of story, camerawork and film and television soundtrack. I am very curious about what kind of director made it."

Gong Li, chairman of the jury, said with a smile: "The director of this film is only twenty years old. Although we are both Chinese, I still want to say,

This film can and should definitely leave a wonderful mark in the history of film, not to mention it has a lot of thought-provoking connotations. I think there are no such wonderful ancient war films from other countries, right? "

The judge who spoke first nodded and said: "Indeed, what's even more rare is that dubbing in several languages ​​has been prepared for us. I personally strongly recommend that this film be shortlisted."

Another person nodded and said, "I agree."

Gong Li, the chairman of the judges, smiled and said: "Then send it out."

Time flies to January, just after New Year's Day, an international news spread back to China, immediately setting off a wave of enthusiasm, and the media began to report frantically.

Beijing Daily: Shocked! Yu Hao's new work "The Last Transfer of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" has been shortlisted for the main competition of the 50th Berlin Film Festival! ! !

Hong Kong Economic Journal: Will Yu Hao be the fourth domestic director to win the Golden Bear Award? ? ? Let us review the rise of the genius director.

Even the "News Network" that day took a few seconds to broadcast the incident, which immediately made it a hot topic among the people.

Reporters chased Yu Hao to the company one after another. Unfortunately, they were blocked several times but could not get to Yu Hao. Some of them were blocked directly at the entrance of the company and refused to leave.

For this group of people, it was neither a matter of rushing nor not, which would affect the normal operation of the company. In the end, he called Yu Hao directly.

After Yu Hao came over by car, he saw so many people that he had no choice but to arrange everyone into the conference room to start the interview.

As soon as he entered the conference room, a reporter asked excitedly: "Yu Hao, do you know that you have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival? In the main competition unit, you may win the Golden Bear Award.

There are only three Golden Bear Awards in our country. If you get it, it will be the fourth one. "

Yu Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Really? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

The reporter asked doubtfully: "Don't you know about this? How does Director Yu feel?"

Yu Hao smiled awkwardly and said: "Isn't it because I was very busy before? So I didn't charge my phone and didn't pay attention to this matter. As for the feelings, of course it was very exciting. Who wouldn't be excited after this experience?"

A group of reporters laughed. Who wouldn't be excited about such a thing?

A reporter asked: "Director Yu, do you think it is possible to win the Golden Bear Award? If you win the award, you will be the youngest Golden Bear Award winner in the world."

Yu Hao shrugged and said, "Just do your best and let fate dictate. I don't know if I can win the award, but I feel that I have done everything I can and I have a clear conscience."

Another reporter asked: "Director Yu, do you think this means that more directors will be shortlisted in the future? The shortlisted directors will become younger and younger?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Of course that's for sure. Times are progressing, and everyone's level is also improving."

…………

After the reporter left, Yu Hao saw many people gathered around the door of the conference room.

Everyone gathered around Yu Hao with excited faces to congratulate Yu Hao and hope that he could win the award.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hao laughed and said: "Thanks to your good wishes, if I win a prize, everyone will receive a big red envelope."

Xu Qing, who came after hearing the news, pulled Yu Hao's hand with excitement on her face, came to Yu Hao's office, and said excitedly:,

"Junior brother, congratulations. If you can win the award, you will also be a great director. It seems that your previous idea is not impossible to realize."

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "I'm glad that I can win the award because of your contribution. Senior sister has paid so much."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I just found out about this today. I guess others don't know about it yet. Come on, let's go back to the villa today and have a good celebration."

As soon as they returned to the villa, they saw Gao Yuanyuan and others looking at Yu Hao with excitement.

Gao Yuanyuan said excitedly: "Brother, congratulations, you are shortlisted. It is only a matter of time before you come to win the award..."

Yu Hao laughed and said, "Everyone deserves credit for me being a finalist. Let's celebrate today."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and said: "Senior brother, is your mobile phone out of battery? I charged up your mobile phone. I guess there are many people waiting for your call now."

Yu Hao then slapped his head and went upstairs to get his cell phone.

It’s not his fault. He’s been busy for so long, why can’t he be relaxed for a while?

Because he is not used to PHS, he usually does not carry a mobile phone unless necessary, which can be regarded as a disguised form of giving up his mobile phone addiction.

After turning on the phone, I saw a long list of missed calls, including those from Lao Yu, Sun Cheng, Tong Gang, Han Sanping, and several others I didn't recognize.

Seeing these missed calls, Yu Hao couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
