Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Golden Bear of the film festival finally fell into the hands of "Go Forward". When director Fatih Akin walked to the center of the stage and raised the trophy high, a tsunami of applause erupted from the audience.  This is the first time in 17 years that a German film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. The German media and the German audience went crazy.  After the top prize was awarded, the film festival came to an end, but the program was not over yet. The film festival officials held a celebration reception for all the winners.  The cocktail party was held not far from the Cinema Palace. It was a star hotel. The organizer contracted a banquet hall here, which was enough to accommodate all the celebrities present.  As soon as Cheng Peng walked into the reception, the chairman of the film festival, Kosoliko, walked up to him, gave Cheng Peng a warm hug, and laughed loudly: "My dear Cheng, you are finally here!" That look, that look,  It was like an old friend who had known each other for many years, but in fact Cheng Peng had never even spoken to him.  Of course, there is a reason why Kosoliko is so enthusiastic. After all, there are more and more film festivals now, and various awards are emerging one after another. The competition among major film festivals is very fierce. The director of this year's original opening film "Motorcycle Days" was discovered by Berlin.  However, he switched to Cannes at the last minute. This is a particularly obvious example.  What's more, the Berlin Film Festival is caught between the Sundance Film Festival and the Oscars. Coupled with the cold weather, many Hollywood big names are reluctant to come to Berlin. Therefore, the Berlin Film Festival has the bleakest star among the three major film festivals.  In this case, excellent works and excellent directors are particularly important.  Cheng Peng is a talent discovered by the Berlin Film Festival. This kind of talent must be roped in to make him a direct director in Berlin and continue to shine on the Berlin stage.  In fact, not only Berlin, but also Venice and Cannes attach great importance to cultivating direct line directors, and they also have their own direct line directors. Take Chinese directors as an example, Jia Zhangke is from the "Venice line", Lou Ye is from the "Cannes line", and Wang Quanan is from the "  "Berlin", their film entries are mainly based on their own department.  Of course, there are definitely benefits to being a direct director, and the chances of being shortlisted are definitely higher. If two directors have similar works, one is a direct line and the other is not a direct line, it is obvious which one to choose. Every year, they rely on nepotism to enter the main competition unit of the film festival.  There are more than one or two.  Cheng Peng felt a little emotional. When he first came to the film festival, not only was no one paying attention, he even had to take a taxi to attend the opening ceremony. But now the chairman Kosoliko came to greet him in person. This treatment was simply earth-shaking, he said with a smile.  : "Mr. Chairman, you are so enthusiastic!" Kosoliko knew that Cheng Peng was a newcomer and was not familiar with the film festival circle. After hugging Tong Lixi and the others, he took Cheng Peng to introduce him.  The seven judges of the main competition unit stood up and talked about something, with smiles on their faces and high interest.  There were still a few steps away before Kosoliko greeted the judges: "Hey, everyone, what are we talking about?" McDormand smiled: "Ha, we happened to be talking about the young gentleman next to you.  , He stole the show tonight!" Cheng Peng smiled and nodded at the judges, and said with great interest: "Of course, I am a lucky boy today." McDormand said with a smile: "It's not luck.  But it¡¯s really well done. I like your movie, and I especially like the old lady in the movie. I am a staunch supporter of your movie!¡± Cheng Peng was slightly stunned. He felt that he could get it this time!  The two awards are probably inseparable from her support. She smiled and said: "Thank you, it is my greatest honor to get your recognition!" During the film festival award selection, it is particularly important to have support, because the film festival's  The selection rules are completely different from those of the Oscars. The Oscars are a voting system, with thousands of members voting together, and the support of one or two people does not make much difference; while the cinema is a jury system, selected by several judges. At this time, if  If someone firmly supports you, your chances of winning will be greatly increased.  The success of "Fireworks in the Day" in Berlin has something to do with Tony Leung being a judge; why Ang Lee said that Zhang Yimou is his noble man, because Ang Lee won the Golden Bear Award for "The Wedding Banquet" at the Berlin Film Festival in 1993  When "Lust, Caution" won the Golden Lion in Venice in 2007, Zhang Yimou was the chairman of the jury.  Therefore, in a competition like a film festival where a small group determines the outcome, whether or not anyone supports it is completely a matter of two outcomes. Of course, the premise is that your film must pass the quality standard. If you send "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", even if all the judges are  Chinese people, I¡¯m afraid they don¡¯t have the nerve to vote.  During the entire cocktail party, the most eye-catching person was undoubtedly Charlize Theron. She wore a thin-shouldered black dress and a pair of high heels.?Looks sexy and charming.  It is difficult for Cheng Peng to associate this radiant woman with the vulgar Irene with yellow teeth, freckles on her face in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada".  He has always believed that actors have great acting skills. If the character's appearance and temperament are too different from him, the final effect will definitely not be good, but Theron completely subverted his view.  Cheng Peng was curious about something and went over to say hello: "Ms. Theron, I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and your performance in it was wonderful." Theron smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you!" Cheng Peng said  : "I have a question and want to ask you. I have watched the video of the real Irene on the Internet. I found that except for some differences in your appearance, your movements and demeanor are almost exactly the same as the real Irene. In the movie, you are completely different."  I can¡¯t see your shadow, how did you do it?¡± Theron laughed: ¡°I spent more than half a year preparing for this role, overeating, making myself fat, not washing my hair for a month, and repeatedly  Watch Eileen's video! " "These are external, but what about the inside? People always have a survival instinct. She doesn't want strangers to see into her heart, especially people like Eileen, who are very withdrawn.  With a closed heart, how did you get into the heart of this character and interpret her? " "A good friend of mine, Jackie, has known Eileen since 1993. She has filmed a documentary about Eileen.  , Erin opened up her heart; in addition, I read all her letters, including the letters she sent to her very close boyfriend. I got to know her through these indirect ways, and then played her. " Cheng Peng and Theron.  After chatting for a while, I found a quiet corner to think about it. Theron's temperament and image were in great contrast with the real Irene. Why was she able to interpret this character so different from herself so well?  He thought it had something to do with their experiences. Irene couldn't find warmth in her family, so she tried to seek a man's love. However, she ended up having a child out of wedlock at the age of fourteen. She had no choice but to go into prostitution.  This road, and contracted the bad habit of drug abuse; Theron's family is also very unfortunate. When she was 15 years old, she witnessed her mother shooting and killing her alcoholic father, so she likes to drink. Regarding her drug addiction,  The sex rumors have never stopped.  Of course, this is only one aspect, and there may be similarities in personality. Theron has a stronger heart, while Erin also has something violent in her heart.  Seeing Cheng Peng sitting in a corner in a daze, Tong Lixi looked in the direction of his eyes, reached out and shook his eyeballs, pouted and said, "Is she that pretty?" "What?" "Charlize-Ser"  "It's really good-looking, but it's not my type. I'm thinking about acting. You've also watched "The Devil". Do you think you can play this role?" "It turns out that I can't play it."  I think it¡¯s definitely not possible, but now I think it¡¯s possible, no joke, I really think so.¡± Tong Lixi¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°You don¡¯t want me to play this kind of role** this time?  He came to the reception at the right time and said with a smile: "No, just to give an example. I found that I was too dogmatic in the past. In fact, no matter how different the roles are, it is possible to find common ground, maybe it's experience, maybe personality, maybe it's  For others, as long as you grasp these commonalities and integrate into the role through these commonalities, it is also possible to play the role well." While the reception was going on, Ning Hao returned home smelling of alcohol and asked about the financial problems of "Green Grass"!  It was finally solved and the movie can be started in a few days.  Ning Hao lay on the bed for a few minutes and found that he was not sleepy at all, so he got up and turned on the computer.  After entering the film forum, he found that the top post clearly read: "Congratulations to Berlin, the great master of this edition, for winning the grand prize!" Ning Hao was surprised, when did such an outstanding person appear in the forum? He clicked on the post and took a look, and finally knew what happened.  What's going on? It turns out that when Cheng Peng was being interviewed by the media, he accidentally mentioned that he posted on the forum to recruit lighting technicians. The netizens on the forum became excited when they saw it. Isn't this the same incident between the King of the World and Spielberg?  Well, the entire forum immediately became a sensation.  After understanding what was going on, Ning Hao dialed Lu Chuan's phone with excitement: "Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan, I know who the king of the world is!" "Ning Hao, you kid is not going to let anyone live.  , it¡¯s three o¡¯clock in the morning! You called me in the middle of the night just to tell me this. Isn¡¯t this nonsense? Who else is there besides James Cameron?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m talking about the one who made the movie forum.  The one where Spielberg pulled the PK!" Lu Chuan jumped up from the gun.He told Ning Hao at the beginning that this guy would definitely show up, but he didn't expect to show up so soon: "Who is it? Where is he?" "In Berlin, his film won three awards, and the last one was  Best first female film, best actress, jury award! " Lu Chuan is currently busy with the post-production of "Kekexili" and doesn't care much about the outside world, but he still screamed after hearing Ning Hao's words: "Fuck,  Best debut film, this guy is actually making a movie for the first time. What did he do before? " "I used to be a director in Beidiao. When I was making a movie last year, I beat the director because of his different acting concept, and he was banned.  He went out to make a movie in a fit of rage! "How is it possible that this guy is a monster? A sidekick has such a deep understanding of movies? This is impossible!" "Lu Chuan, you have to believe that this world is a monster.  Geniuses exist, and Cameron was just a truck driver before he made the movie! This guy is a real genius!" Ning Hao shook his head. He is different from Lu Chuan. He never denies the strength of others. Of course he can think.  Find out where others are strong and why, and then learn from others' strengths to make up for your own shortcomings.  "Damn it, I don't believe he is so awesome, I don't believe my "Kekexili" is weaker than him!" After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao felt an unspeakable excitement in his heart. He leaned on his chair and thought, waiting for "Green"  After filming "The Grass", I also went to Berlin for a walk, so that I could get investment for "Crazy Stone"!  "Crazy Stone" has been brewing in his mind for several years. He believes that when this story is turned into a video, it can soar into the sky like Cheng Peng.
