China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Betty is a senior movie lover and a red carpet fan. Every year at the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival, she will definitely go to the red carpet to find her favorite directors and actors for autographs, so she has rich red carpet experience.

First of all, you must choose the right position. When these celebrities walk on the red carpet, they may wave and smile at you in response to your shouts and cheers, but they rarely stop to sign autographs for you. However, the probability of them stopping at one position is The highest one is near the media area. Therefore, if you want to ask for an autograph or even take a photo, you must stand near the camera in the media area.

Secondly, you have to go early and get a front-row seat around the camera, otherwise it’s impossible.

Finally, you must have a good rest the night before, recharge your batteries, and protect your voice. The next day, use your loudest voice to attract the other person's attention.

Just like this, Betty screamed: Wu! Director Wu! I love you!

When Betty saw Wu Yuchen looking towards her, she couldn't help shouting louder: Director Wu, I love your Run Lola Run, my favorite movie!

As she yelled, she stretched out her hand and waved the posters and signature pens she had prepared.

The hard work paid off. When Wu Yuchen walked towards her with a smile and signed her poster, she immediately adjusted her head and pointed it at the camera nearby, making a V gesture. In this way, she appeared in some media shots and completed a photo with Wu Yuchen. If some newspapers or magazines publish it, she can cut it out and keep it for collection.

Wu Yuchen also felt it. The girl in front of him was a senior carpet fan, and her ability to find the camera was better than him, but he didn't mind. After signing autographs for several fans, he waved and left.

This time their Donkey Gets Water red carpet lineup is quite large. He and Gong Li are leading the way, followed by 6 actors. The attention and cheers received are no less than the opening film of this Berlin Film Festival. Shakespeare in Love.

In the cast of Donkey Gets Water, Gong Licai is truly the queen of the red carpet. The moment she stepped onto the red carpet, her aura overwhelmed everyone, and the flashbulbs kept surrounding her. Even Wu Yuchen had to be convinced.

Shakespeare in Love is a film that Harvey Weinstein has put a lot of effort into promoting this year. Although his public relations focus is mainly on the Oscars, it is not difficult to get a film for the opening ceremony in Berlin.

But this reputation...

A seven-member jury specially invited by the Daily Screen magazine came out of the cinema swearing after watching Shakespeare in Love.

A bloody and vulgar love movie. No, it can't even be called love. It's just an affair between a boring Bai Fumei and a writer who writes with his body! I'll give it a 1 point!

Oh, don't be like this. At least the costumes in this movie are pretty good, and based on Shakespeare's great lines, I think I can still give it 1.5 points.

Gwyneth plays dual roles, and her acting skills are worthy of recognition. I give it 2.5 points.

Shit, you must have been bribed by Harvey Weinstein!

In the end, the seven-member jury all gave their scores and attached their own feelings and comments about the movie.

Daily Screen magazine also has another very powerful title at the Berlin Film Festival - program magazine.

Since there are many professional film critics on the jury, and the rating can clearly and intuitively show the quality of a film to the audience, it is also regarded as a viewing guide during the film festival. The audience can serve as a weather vane.

The next day, Zhou Xun ran over with a newly released copy of Daily Screen, and then shouted to everyone: Shakespeare in Love was only given 1.5 points by the screening magazine!

Sun Honglei quickly asked: What's the total score? Is 1.5 high or low?

Gong Li, who has extensive experience in film festivals, replied:

The total score is 4 points. If it is 1.5, it is not a very good score.

She said it quite politely. A score of 1.5 is probably the bottom score...

Wu Yuchen smiled after hearing their conversation. The movie Shakespeare in Love is worthy of being called the most Oscar-winning movie, and it is not popular in Berlin.

The opening movie is only 1.5, I wonder how many points we will get then? Zhou Xun looked at the magazine in his hand, feeling a little worried.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said:

Just look at the ratings in the program. This can only be regarded as the taste of the media and has basically nothing to do with the final award results. Films that won the bottom three won the award, and the film with the highest score did not win. It has also happened that you better Let’s hope we don’t get the highest score, because generally the movie that gets the highest score in the program will most likely not win the best movie.”

Ah? So that's it! Zhou Xun exclaimed.

Zhang Guoli, who was standing next to him, heard this and asked: Is this the so-called heat that will kill you? Foreigners also pay attention to this?

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head: I don't know, but there are differences between the tastes of the media and the tastes of the real judges, and it is difficult to completely unify them. At most, the program will have a certain impact on the audience watching the movie, but the audience's How was the reaction? Didn’t you already feel it at the scene yesterday?”

He Bing immediately became happy when he heard this: Director Wu, I think the audience during this film festival is just like when we perform a play. After the show, we gave direct feedback on the spot. The audience was very enthusiastic. Yesterday there was a woman pulling My hands were mumbling a lot~

Zhou Xun turned to He Bing and said: Teacher He, the translator said that the man was scolding you yesterday, saying that you are really hateful! You are a complete villain!

He Bing immediately looked embarrassed, but then he immediately adjusted himself and said with his chin raised, Swearing at me means that I'm doing a good job!

Everyone laughed out loud when they saw this.

There are several films listed as highlights at this Berlin Film Festival, such as the opening film Shakespeare in Love, such as the director Terrence Malick who returned from acting after 20 years and brought together Sean Penn and other stars to film Silver. The Thin Red Line, and another example is The Donkey Gets Water directed by Wu Yuchen and starring Gong Li.

For these major dramas, the Daily Screen jury will not watch them in one day, but basically watch one every day.

On the third day, the people on the program review panel were chatting while walking towards the theater of Donkey Gets Water.

Yesterday's The Thin Red Line was very good. The narrative subverted the Hollywood war movie model.

Yes, but this movie is a bit too stream-of-consciousness. It's more of a war impression film than a war film.

Maybe someone among the judges will like this, and its theme and attributes are very in line with the preferences of the Berlin Film Festival.

After a few people sat down in the movie theater, one person said: I wonder if Wu Yuchen, a great director who has made a name for himself in Hollywood, will surprise us.

I hope he doesn't make a commercial film, that would be really disappointing!

Don't worry, Gong Li is in this movie, so the quality is guaranteed~

Oh, you're right!

When the lights in the theater went out, everyone stopped talking.

Four teachers with very different personalities took root in remote mountainous areas for their lofty ideals. They falsely reported the donkey as a teacher named Lü Deshui just to get an extra subsidy. It was this decision that attracted an investigation from the superior commissioner. They had no choice but to find a completely uneducated coppersmith to impersonate Lu Deshui, so they told a lie and had to keep telling it, covering up old lies with new lies. The donkey exchange eventually caused things to spiral out of control...

At the beginning of the film, the picture is clean, pure and beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful, and several people shine with the brilliance of humanity, shining and uniting for the cause of education.

Several people on the jury saw the jokes that kept appearing after the film started and realized that it was a comedy. They couldn't help but feel a little surprised. They didn't expect that Wu Yuchen and Gong Li would bring a comedy to the exhibition. . You know, comedies have never been popular with awards!

However, this thought passed away in a flash, and soon they were all involved in the plot.

But after the special correspondent arrived, everything changed unconsciously. When huge benefits come along with crisis, everyone gradually turns dark. The style of the film changes towards gloom and absurdity, as the good guys gradually take off their disguises and expose the darkness of their own nature.

The strong man lowered his head facing the barrel of the gun. People who were originally selfless and spoke uprightly gradually shed their pretense and became selfish when faced with power and interests. At this time, the humanity among them has become weak, and the light of animal nature shines in them.

Meanwhile, several people on the jury saw more. The four teachers represent intellectuals, and the flaws of intellectuals are most vividly demonstrated in them. Principal Sun represents the ideal but hypocritical intellectual, Pei Kuishan represents the intelligent but vicious intellectual, Zhou Tienan represents the passionate but cowardly intellectual, and Zhang Yiman represents the romantic yet incompetent intellectual.

Dignity, dreams, interests, and power, the four means of destroying intellectuals, are all fulfilled here.

When He Bing, who was originally loyal and honest, tore off his disguise, betrayed everyone and yelled at Gong Li, when Sun Honglei, who was originally full of passion, knelt down and became the most humble slave after the sound of a gunshot, when Gong Li became the target of everyone's bullying, Her hair, which symbolized her romance and ideals, was cut off section by section with scissors, and her spirit and soul were also shattered one by one...

The shock in the hearts of everyone watching continued to rise. This performance gradually pushed their emotions to a climax, especially when they saw Gong Li transform from a charming beauty to a soulless walking zombie. The whole audience was shocked. It became silent, and an infinite sadness spread in their hearts...

When the movie ended and the theater lights came on, the audience in the theater didn't react at all. They still hadn't recovered, and there was a lingering sadness in their hearts. It wasn't until Wu Yuchen and Gong Li led everyone on the stage to thank them that applause gradually began to burst from below, and then the applause continued to get louder and lasted for a long time.

At this time, several people on the venue review panel also reacted violently:

My god! A shocking and classic black absurd comedy!

Another jury member murmured:

When the donkey was a donkey, its life and death had no impact or significance. But when it became a person, it not only gained respect, but also gained the supreme status. It's so absurd, but yet It really happened. The position of people and animals is just in the hands of certain people who have power. This is this fucking society, this fucking world!

Although there are some flaws, it does not affect this in any way. This is a great movie! This is the most shocking movie in this film festival! A man clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

I give it a 3.5, it deserves this score!

High score! It must be a high score, I will give it 3.4!

Fuck, you only gave 3.4, I gave 3.7!

…

After seeing off the audience for today's first performance, Wu Yuchen said to the people around him:

Okay, the first scene is over. You can all move around freely. Those of you who have never been to Berlin should go and have some fun. I'm here to support you.

Wu Yuchen has already been to Berlin twice and has done all the things to do, so now he naturally lets the other people go and have fun.

Hehe, thank you, Director Wu! Zhou Xun smiled happily, and then pulled a few others to go shopping together.

Seeing that Gong Li was still here, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but ask: Sister Li, aren't you going with them?

Gong Li smiled and said: I have been to Berlin no less than you. European cities are like this. If you see too much, there will be nothing new. And I think the audience's response is quite enthusiastic. I have to deal with interviews with reporters. You are the only one. People may not be too busy to come here.”

Sister Li, you are so considerate~ Wu Yuchen praised.

Yes. Among the movies I have acted in the past two years, the role of Zhang Yiman is the most exciting. If Director Wu has any suitable roles in the future, just come to me~

Naturally, Gong Li wanted to make friends with Wu Yuchen, a director who could combine both artistic films and commercial productions, and who had also made such a big name in Hollywood. Many directors often just have an idea of ​​who they want to use, and this is how many opportunities come.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: Sister Li, thank you very much. With your acting skills, if I find someone suitable, I will definitely look for you first, as long as you are free.

Later, Wu Yuchen asked again: By the way, Sister Li, how is the situation with Assassination of Qin? I heard that Director Chen is overhauling the movie?

Gong Li nodded after hearing this: Director Chen is also very confused this time. After the movie was released in Neon, it received a lot of praise and good box office results. However, it turned out to be a large-scale negative review in China. Whether to modify it or not, I It seems that he has been hesitating.”

Assassination of the Qin had its domestic premiere at the Great Hall of the People during the National Day last year. Wu Yuchen missed it in the United States, which caused great controversy.

The main reason is that the Qin Shihuang photographed by Kaizi is very different from the public impression.

The Qin Shihuang in the public's impression, regardless of whether they praise him as an emperor for eternity or criticize him as a tyrant, all have one thing in common: his temperament is majestic and domineering, and he is full of emperor's spirit. A typical representative among them is the Qin Shihuang played by Jiang Wen in Song of Qin. The majesty and domineering, condescending and intimidating demeanor of the head of an unprecedented unified empire are well displayed.

But the version of the First Emperor played by Kaizi, played by Li Xuejian, can be described in one word as weird. A character who looks neurotic on the surface, behaves neurotically, speaks in an exaggerated and ridiculous high-octave tone, and has no regal bearing at all.

But Kaizi is also plausible: the Qin Shihuang in Historical Records is a neurotic weirdo with chicken breasts and a duck voice, moody, cruel and cruel. He firmly believed that this was his most consistent and accurate choice with Historical Records. He also understood the doubts and said that those who had read Historical Records were in the minority after all.

Now, no matter whether you were originally supportive of him or not, you have lost your temper. What do you mean, you are questioning our lack of culture? Haven't read Historical Records? !

Therefore, a large number of people came out to criticize him for vilifying Qin Shihuang. Even Kaizi was a little tired of dealing with it. Under the pressure, he had to stand up and say that he wanted to re-edit.

Speaking of this, Wu Yuchen also thought it was quite funny. Kaizi took pictures of Qin Shihuang, and the group scolded Kaizi for making the First Emperor look bad. A few years later, when Lao Mouzi took pictures of Qin Shihuang, the same group of people criticized Lao Mouzi for beautifying the tyrant and flattering the ruling class.

This is unreasonable, and Wu Yuchen doesn't know whether the version Kaizi sent to Cannes three months later has been revised or not, but he is probably very upset now.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xun was seen running towards him very fast with his calves again. Sun Honglei saw this and asked with a smile: What's wrong with you? You're so busy every day.

Zhou Xun ignored him, ran to Wu Yuchen, took out the Daily Screen in his hand: Director Wu, something big happened! Look!

Wu Yuchen was a little confused when he woke up in the morning. When he saw the magazine handed over by Zhou Xun, he saw it read:

The Donkey Gets Water, show score: 3.6.

In an instant, Wu Yuchen was startled and his mind suddenly came to his senses.

He cursed in his mind, damn, I don’t want high scores! I want Best Picture, I want the Golden Bear!

When Zhou Xun saw the ratings in this magazine this morning, her first reaction was to be overjoyed, but then she remembered what Wu Yuchen said yesterday, You will die if you are hot, and she didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. But looking at Wu Yuchen's expression at this moment, she felt that it was probably not a good thing.

At this time, Gong Li took the magazine from Zhou Xun's hand and looked at the comments above:

“The awakening and rise of feminism and feminism ahead of its time, the unknown unspoken rules hidden in the invisible background of society, the failure of middle-aged men, the hysteria after being struck by love, the originally simple and kind-hearted farmers under the temptation of money Give up on humanity…

Wu Yuchen's ambitions in this Donkey Gets Water are very great, and the wonderful performances of the actors led by Gong Li also fully express the black humor and absurd irony of this film...

The biggest hit at this Berlin Film Festival: Donkey Gets Water, 3.6 points!
