Full-time actor

Chapter 181 [8] Shortlist for the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival!

"thank you boss!"

Chen Yu took a big red envelope given by Qin Yonggang and teased him slightly.

"Come on this year!"

“Several dramas are about to be released!”

To be honest, Qin Yonggang is also looking forward to Chen Yu's development this year. Last year, he earned more than 200 million for the company and barely maintained the expenses. It was a good start. After all, it was just a start-up company. It had no losses in the first year. That was already a good start. A very good start.

Chen Yu earned a total of more than 300 million from several endorsements, two dramas, Golden Rooster Awards, etc.

His current share is 40%, and he gets less than 100 million after tax.

Chen Yu is actually quite satisfied personally. After all, China Audiovisual has given two such good opportunities. 200 million is definitely a great value.

"Well, I must work hard this year!"

Chen Yu assured Qin Yonggang, but he heard the clicking sound of high heels in his ears. With this hurried walking style, it goes without saying that both of them knew who it was - Ji Qiannan.

boom!

She actually didn't even knock on the door this time, with ecstasy and heat on her face, and her voice could probably be heard on the entire floor: "Brother Yu, 2 movies, Berlin, you have been shortlisted for movies!"

"what?!"

Qin Yonggang, who was next to him, also stood up, and his words were trembling: "Bai... Bailin?"

"Yes, two films were shortlisted!"

Ji Qiannan, the excited one, walked in directly and wanted to kiss Chen Yu.

"Sister Qian, let's pay attention to the impact!"

After Chen Yu hugged her happily, Ji Qiannan still couldn't suppress the smile on her face: ""The Blind Shaft" and "Cara is a Dog" were both shortlisted!"

guessed.

"The Blind Shaft" is a sure thing. It was a big hit in the previous life, and it is obviously the same in this life. After all, Li Yangbolin's relationship is there; and Lu Xue often can be shortlisted, which is also within Chen Yu's prediction.

With the help of Li Yang's former colleagues, the screenwriter of "Kala is a Dog" added a German name, and this movie instantly became a Sino-German collaboration like "The Blind Shaft".

Because the Berlin Film Festival is held in Germany, it gives preferential treatment to local films and does not limit the number of awards. In other countries, except for the United States, which can have 5 films, many European countries can only have 1-2 films. .

Asian countries can only have one film participating in the award.

But participating in the awards does not necessarily mean that you will be selected. Berlin receives more than 100 films from all over the world every year, and 15-25 are directly selected from them for the final selection.

"This time, a total of 22 films were shortlisted, including 5 from Hollywood, 3 from China, 3 from France, and 3 from Germany..."

As Ji Qiannan said there, Qin Yonggang had already turned on the computer.

As expected, Sina Entertainment already has a specific list.

"unprecedented! Three Chinese films have been shortlisted for this Berlin International Film Festival! 》

"Hero", "Kara is a Dog", "The Blind Shaft"!

Chen Yu was watching 19 other movies.

Several Hollywood movies are all big hits. Chen Yu has watched 4 of them, but only one of them, "The 25th Hour," was unimpressive.

The other four movies are so famous.

"Adapted Screenplay," "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," "Into Space," and "The Hours!"

Chen Yu was a little dumbfounded.

Two of these films are hot favorites for Oscars in March this year!

"Adapted Screenplay" was shortlisted for several awards, and star Nicolas Cage was nominated for Best Actor; not to mention "The Hours", which won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. ...Nicole Kidman becomes a god in one battle.

It was with this film that she became a top Hollywood star after winning an Oscar and a Berlin double.

And her co-star in this movie is Julianne Moore, the only one in the world who has won a Grand Slam Best Actress, that is, she has won Best Actress in three major film festivals and the Oscar. Such an honor for Laurel.

The only one in the world.

Of course there are Grand Slam Best Actors, and there are two of them - Sean Penn and Jack Lemmon, the latter has passed away.

This is also Chen Yu's goal in this life.

"This opponent... is too strong!"

Fortunately for actresses, Chen Yu doesn't need to compete, but for male actors, after watching a few Hollywood movies, Chen Yu fell to his knees!

What levels are these!

Not to mention Nicolas Cage, he won the Oscar in 96.

The second male lead in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is George Clooney, who is also the director of this film. This man is not as good as Cage at the moment, but he will be nominated for an Oscar for the best actor in the future.

The male lead, Sam Rockwell, is also a celebrity. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Three Billboards".

"Fuck, that's him!"

Chen Yu remembered that this was the best actor in Berlin this year.

In his previous life in 03, Sam Rockwell took away the title of Berlin Silver Bear Best Actor from among the Hollywood movie kings.

"Take to the sky... George Clooney again?"

Like Chen Yu, George Clooney also has two films nominated for Berlin this time, and one of them, he is also the director, was nominated for the Golden Bear, which is much better than Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had no impression of the last film "The 25th Hour".

Taking Qin Yonggang's computer to check, Chen Yu finally saw the starring actors and directors of this film. Chen Yu was not interested. He wanted to see the list of starring actors to put more pressure on himself.

"Damn it, Edward Norton!"

Another old face, the male lead in "The Incredible Hulk", the actor of the first generation Hulk, who is also a frequent Oscar winner.

"I'm numb!"

Chen Yu watched the five American films shortlisted for this year's Berlin competition, and had no idea that he could win the award.

How to get it? Take the head!

Besides, in addition to Hollywood movies, there are also several movies from Germany, the UK, and France, all of which are fierce.

For example, "Twilight Seibei", the only film in Japan that has been shortlisted, the male lead is Hiroyuki Sanada, who is currently the absolute top in Japan.

Germany's "Goodbye Lenin" stars Daniel Brühl, a regular nominee for three awards.

……

The intensity of competition, such as golden horses and golden roosters, is simply weak compared to this.

One can imagine how difficult it was for Liao Fan and Wang Jingchun to win the Berlin Best Actor in later generations. Unfortunately, they won the award too late. If they had been younger a few years ago, their fame would definitely not be like that in their previous lives. They would definitely be much more famous.

But the acting skills of the two people are absolutely beyond words, and they deserve the title of Best Actor.

"Brother Yu has made a total of 2 movies this year, and 2 of them were shortlisted for the Berlin Golden Bear. This is so valuable..."

Qin Yonggang even burst into laughter. Even if Chen Yu doesn't win the award, just for this, his reputation will definitely rise to the next level.

Two films were nominated for Berlin Best Actor, which is also a proper honor and blessing!

“It’s not even the New Year yet, but it’s already a good start!”

Qin Yonggang became more and more excited as he talked. He had already picked up his mobile phone and was preparing to report to his boss; Chen Yu only stood up and gave up his seat to him after reading the list of 22 shortlisted movies.

"Brother Yu, there is hope. One in 11, you have twice the chance of winning the prize than others!"

Ji Qiannan said with a smile, and Chen Yu knew that the other party was comforting him.

After looking at the shortlist, Chen Yu really had no idea about the Best Actor.

What is twice the probability of winning a prize is nothing in the face of absolute strength.

"Mr. Qin, Sister Qian, I'm leaving then. I have a flight in the afternoon!"

"I wish you both a happy New Year in advance and good fortune in the New Year!"

Chen Yu congratulated the two of them, exchanged a few words with each other, and then walked out of the company.

"Being shortlisted for Berlin is already good!"

Chen Yu was talking to himself. Of course, he had a desire for the actor in his heart. After all, this was his biggest obsession after his rebirth.

But, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in stuttering steps. Chen Yu does not have much extravagant hope of reaching the sky in one step. In his previous life, he had walked step by step like this.

Pragmatism is his strength and weakness.

Driving his car, Chen Yu drove towards the Capital International Airport.

Next, spending a good Spring Festival with your parents is the most important thing, Berlin should be put aside.

After all, one year of companionship is one less year.

This is also the reason why Chen Yu doesn't like to celebrate the New Year. Every Chinese New Year, his parents become one year older.

Bring them to the imperial capital without further delay.

……

On the other side, Liu Yifei, who is on winter vacation after filming, is enjoying her rare sloth life.

I only eat and sleep every day, and it’s already the second day.

When she thinks back on the life of the previous six months, she can only describe it in one sentence - is that really something I can do?

I filmed during the day and studied at night. I woke up the next day and continued filming and studying. My whole body was like a clockwork robot, but I managed to hold on for more than 4 months.

"I can't imagine..."

Liu Yifei just wanted to lie down now, but it was past 1 o'clock in the afternoon and she hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

She really didn't want to be separated from her bed in the middle of winter, but her growling stomach made her think that she should eat some food first to fill her stomach so that she wouldn't be hungry.

After getting up and washing up, she brushed her teeth. Liu Yifei took the noodle soup made by Liu Xiaoli and walked to the computer desk in the bedroom. She stepped on the chair with one foot and slumped there with one foot. She browsed the web and ate at the same time. stand up.

"unprecedented! Three Chinese films have been shortlisted for this Berlin International Film Festival! 》

A piece of news on the front page of Sina made Liu Yifei swallow the noodle he just took into his mouth.

Gum!

She swallowed, then clicked the mouse with the chopsticks in her hands.

“There are three films shortlisted for Berlin this year?”

"Hero must have entered!"

People all over the country now feel that "Hero" can win an Oscar and become an international star. Although there are many people who criticize this movie as a bad movie, it does not prevent film practitioners from worshiping this movie.

It may not be well shot and the plot may not be very interesting, but the significance it brings to the entire industry is unprecedented.

Lao Mouzi once again used his own strength to prove that no matter how bad his filming is, he is still the number one director in the country, and no one else can beat him.

"what?"

"'Cara is a Dog'?"

Just as Liu Yifei was about to put some noodles into her mouth again, she saw a movie she was extremely familiar with.

"Is Carla a dog also on the list?"

Liu Yifei's surprise was no small matter, considering that Chen Yu was also involved in this film.

She was just about to pick up her phone and want to congratulate Chen Yu, when she suddenly saw a text in the next second.

"At this Berlin Film Festival, Chen Yu has two films shortlisted for the Golden Bear. In addition to "Kara is a Dog", he plays the male lead Song Jinming in "The Blind Shaft". According to director Li Yang, this The character subverts Chen Yu's usual impression of a young man, and he is definitely an image that will shock everyone when they see him!"

"Blind shaft?"

When did this guy make a movie like this again?

Or the male protagonist?

Even shortlisted for the Berlin Golden Bear?

"???"

Liu Yifei's mind was full of questions. She chewed the delicious noodles in her mouth and accidentally choked.

puff--

The noodle soup and noodles all sprayed onto the computer monitor in front of me.

Liu Yifei: "..."

She stared blankly at the computer screen that was completely unreadable. She was so angry that she wanted to pull Chen Yu out of the contacts on her phone and punch him in person.

It's all this guy's fault.

If two of his films hadn't been shortlisted for the Berlin Golden Bear, would I have been choked?

Chen Yu: "Do you blame me?"

"No, this guy has been shortlisted in Berlin and he doesn't even say a word to me?"

It’s obvious that I don’t take my girlfriend seriously!

Although Liu Yifei is a true Buddhist, shouldn't this kind of thing be shared with her?

After all, this is the Berlin of the world’s three major film festivals!

It’s on fire!

Chen Yu is really going crazy!

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look to her mother Liu Xiaoli for some psychological comfort... What if Chen Yu became angry and didn't want her anymore?
