Chapter 459 Undercurrent
"The Berlin International Film Festival was founded in 1951. It is one of the three largest film festivals in Europe along with Cannes, France and Venice, Italy. They are all the highest-level international film festivals in the film field.
The Golden Bear is the best film award in Berlin's main competition and is only awarded to one film each year. "
The next day, the people in the capital saw the newspaper, which introduced Berlin and the Golden Bear Award in a large space, because the people had to know about it. Only when they know it can they feel that this matter is important.
Then, start bragging.
"If Chinese films want to go abroad and enhance their international influence, winning honors at the three major European exhibitions is the most effective way!"
"In 1981, director Ling Zi's "The Wilderness" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival; in the same year, Shanghai Film Studio's "The Return of the Swallow" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival and returned home.
In 1982, "The True Story of Ah Q" was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, and Pearl Film Studio's "Nostalgia" was once again shortlisted for Berlin, but both failed.
These four films are all our experience in competing in the three major exhibitions.
The author believes that it will take another four to five years of practice and practice before we can achieve some results. Unexpectedly, this day has come early. "Life is Beautiful" represents the first step for Chinese films in the world!
This is a historic victory! This is the glory of Chinese movies! "
Through the text, it seems that a female reporter named Yu can be seen screaming in a twisted way.
In fact, there is no need for her to exaggerate too much. Everyone thinks it is very impressive that a Chinese can win an award from a foreigner these days. People who read the newspaper are also talking about it.
“Which Berlin is this Berlin?”
"Sid?"
"Hey, isn't that a capitalist country? They also like our movies?"
"That only proves that our shooting is good!"
"It makes sense. I will definitely go and take a look when it comes out!"
Compared to the general public, peers in the literary and art circles understand the status of the Golden Bear Award better, and are filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. The three art schools of Nortel, China Theater, and Shanghai Theater also learned the news.
The school immediately started looking for connections, hoping that the creator of "Beautiful Life" could come and communicate with the students.
China Film Company.
Everyone is also talking about it, but the topic is very sidetracked.
"Damn, Dongchang has gained power again. I feel sick when I think about them coming back and looking so arrogant. "Shh! Who told you it was called Dongchang? How could you say it? ’
"It's okay, they are all our own people. They are not Dongchang. They know what is best every day.
What does it look like to earn foreign exchange by any means necessary? So what if it wins the Golden Bear Award? As long as it is distributed domestically, it’s not up to us! "
"But I heard that "Life is Beautiful" is quite sensitive. What if it is not sold domestically but only exported?"
“Export sales???”
"Hahaha, Lao Wang, congratulations!"
"Where does my happiness come from? It wasn't taken by us. I should congratulate you."
From the Ministry of Culture, Wang Yang walked into Ding Qiao's office. Both of them had happy faces and congratulated each other.
Wang Yang was particularly happy. Chen Qi was just like his own grandson. Although his wings were stiff now and he met less often, Chen Qi would definitely go back to Beijing Film Studio to visit him or give him something as long as he was free.
"They are competing overseas and are very glorious from top to bottom. We decided to hold a commendation meeting at Beijing Film Studio. Lao Zhu and I will attend. When you go back, prepare to welcome them in triumph."
"There's no need for you to tell me, I'll start preparations as soon as I know the news!"
Wang Yang snorted. Li Wenhua was from the Beijing Film Studio, Gong Xue was from the Beijing Film Studio, and some of the crew members were also from the Beijing Film Studio. They still had the name of the Beijing Film Studio, so of course they had to be opened in the Beijing Film Studio.
It's a pity that that kid started his own business, otherwise Beijing Film Studio would have gone sideways.
He thought that Ding Qiao asked him to come here just for this matter, but Ding Qiao suddenly stood up, closed the door, and sighed, saying: "Happy things are very happy, and sad things are also sad!"
"Um?"
Wang Yang was stunned: "Is there anything else?"
"You also know that the country has been brewing economic reforms. If reforms are really implemented, the film industry will not be able to escape."
"Why did you change the decision?"
Wang Yang suddenly raised his voice.
"No, no, it's still in the preparation stage, but I think it will be soon, maybe next year.
Because after the Spring Festival, our ministry received instructions to talk to studios, China Film, film companies, local cultural bureaus, cinemas, etc. to listen to the opinions of all parties. Isn't this just preparation for the introduction of policies? "
"What's the general direction?"
"Enhance the activity of enterprises and break the tradition of eating from one big pot. I heard that there are still taxes, but we can't control the tax aspect. I'm here to see you today. Let's talk about the film studio first. What problems do you think are currently there?"
Wang Yang was mentally prepared for this matter and spoke immediately.
Ding Qiao nodded repeatedly and took notes from time to time. Finally, he said: "Lao Wang, you are 67 this year. You should have responded to the country's call and stepped down. Because you need to continue working, you will stay for a few more years.
The current situation will definitely have an earthquake-like impact once the policy is released.
You are an old comrade who will be honored throughout your life. We don’t want to see you burdened with work even at your age. Let me tell you frankly that the organization is already considering a candidate to succeed you. "
"Is there a specific time?"
"No, let's see when the policy is announced!"
Wang Yang was silent for a while and nodded: "I accept all arrangements!"
When he came out of the Ministry of Culture, his mood was completely different from when he came. For some reason, he thought of Chen Qi again: If he quits, what will that kid do?
In the toilet.
Director Chen is taking a shit.
He held a newspaper and read it word by word. Then he glanced back and read it a second time, word by word. The words "Berlin", "Life is Beautiful", "Golden Bear" and "Golden Bear" smelled of ink. China", like knives stabbing his little heart.
After graduation, Director Chen went to a children's film studio and are still hanging out today.
What can he shoot at the Children's Film Studio? Could you please sit down while filming Arthur?
So he has been looking for opportunities to make a blockbuster success, and expressed disdain for a few old classmates who hugged Chen Qi like a dog. As a result, they won the Golden Bear, the first in China!
The newspaper began to shake slightly, revealing Director Chen's depressed and irritable face. After holding it in for a long time, he finally cursed:
"+!"
The set of "The Burning of Old Summer Palace".
During the break, Liu Xiaoqing wore a flag head decoration weighing more than ten kilograms and silently put the newspaper aside.
Her competitive spirit is unimaginable. She has always looked down on Gong Xue, who only slept with men, but now she also feels a little powerless. Can Li Hanxiang and Qing Palace Drama win the Golden Bear Award?
She felt that she couldn't.
She originally hoped that her popularity would surpass that of Gong Xue after it was released, but now she no longer has confidence in Shanghai Film Studio.
Xu Sangchu, the old factory director, walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
"Life Is Beautiful" was co-produced by Shanghai Film Studio, but this credit is nothing. Beijing Film Studio was the winner, doing nothing but giving it the title of a production.
Xu Sangchu is the same age as Wang Yang, also 67, and knows that he will not be able to stay in this position for long.
What will Shanghai Film Studio do after he retires?
"Gong Xue is from Shanghai and is not close to his hometown at all. The current situation-"
He also knew that organizational reforms were brewing, and he might change his business to a film studio soon. All the production units in the country were holding back at home, and only Chen Qi could show off his power overseas and earn foreign exchange.
"It would be nice to take the initiative to get in touch and collaborate on a film. It would be nice to have a romantic relationship."
