Chapter 511 Berlin Choice
Tim also came to Berlin with Deng Ziqi.
Although Deng Ziqi lost at the Grammys this time.
But it is not easy to be nominated and perform "Try", a now widely sung hit, live on the Grammy stage.
What’s more, this defeat was not a crime of war.
The biggest hit of the year, Adele, dominates.
With the extremely popular song "Rolling In The Deep", Lady Gaga, Deng Ziqi and others were all defeated.
Chen Kaige still looked like he was holding his head up, chest out, and his waist straight.
Like a proud big rooster, always ready to fight.
The couple is always graceful and elegant in front of outsiders.
Chen Kaige maintained his signature posture of putting one hand in his pocket.
The other hand always seems to be broken and will always be reserved for Chen Hong.
Chen Hong smiled and held her husband's arm and talked to Li Chen: "Li Chen, is Yifei okay? This is her first child, so she needs to be careful."
" Thank you, Sister Hong, for your concern and my husband. My mother is surrounded by a medical team all day long. She is better than anyone else. She can eat and sleep well."
Li Chen nodded to Chen Kaige again. Chen Kaige's style is like meeting a little person. The performance is extremely friendly to the people.
When meeting important people, he is extremely polite and neither humble nor overbearing.
But when I met great directors such as Li Chen and Zhang Yimou, I became extremely narcissistic and cherished words like gold.
I heard that this person also bought a short story "Please Forgive Me" in Jinjiang. If I remember correctly, it was his search.
The two couples also officially announced in Berlin these two days that their next film will be a reality-themed film, and it will be this "Search".
When the two of them went to Taiwan to promote "Orphan" some time ago, they should have come into contact with the now-famous ruffian hero from Baodao.
After these box office hits, Director Chen said he didn't pay attention to the box office, but what he valued in his eyes were traffic stars.
Li Chen remembered it, and so did Yang Mi.
Would it be possible that this couple has already fallen in love with Yang Mi, who is now popular on the Internet with "Palace".
Li Chen’s guess was right. The couple put a lot of effort into box office and looked for celebrities with many Weibo fans.
If the number of fans is less than 5 million, there is no need to discuss it.
It seems that the heroines of "Search", Yao Dazui and Wang Dan, are all Weibo traffic stars.
Yang Mi is a latecomer.
The chairman of the Berlin Film Festival welcomed Li Chen to Berlin and looked forward to next year, hoping that Li Chen could come again.
Don’t wait another four or five years. I hope more Chinese filmmakers can come to Berlin.
Venetian President Marco sat in the audience and complained to Li Chen, like a resentful woman who had just been played: "Li Chen, how many years have you not been to Venice?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Old Ma, even if I never go to Venice again, it will not affect the friendship between you and me."
Macol laughed and was very satisfied with Li Chen's answer: "Since If we are friends, we should visit each other more often."
"Yimou is now yours, and I sincerely invite you and Yimou to come to Venice." Marco's expression suddenly changed. became solemn.
Looking at Li Chen, who was a little puzzled, Marcol put it bluntly: "This year is the last year of my term."
Li Chen suddenly thought of this old man's contribution to Chinese films. Li Chen nodded: "No problem."
Marcol laughed and hugged Li Chen: "Thank you, my friend."
With Li Chen's promise, Marcol was satisfied, and it was right that he flew from Venice to Berlin.
Taking care of Li Chen is equivalent to taking over two of China's most prestigious directors at once.
The main creators of "The Invisible Guest" were invited to the stage one by one. After some questions, the film began to show.
"The Invisible Guest" is like a cup of fragrant tea, tasteless at first but fragrant after the rhyme.
The secret room murder case at the beginning led to the car accident corpse case.
The dual-perspective narrative perspective and the layered narrative structure used by Li Chen are reversed layer by layer. It is not until the end that the mystery is solved through the review of the dialogue between the male protagonist and the female lawyer.
The open ending brought constant applause from the audience and guests.
The director of "The Farewell" looked solemn.
The filming techniques and story design of this drama are all unique. Compared with the two days ago, the film "Time Traveler" was easy to understand and was also written by the Chinese director.
It's more like a well-conceived and impeccable code book.
The applause at the scene lasted for a long time, and smiles appeared on the faces of Wang Xueqi, Huang Xiaoming, Li Zhengtong and others unconsciously.
Just listening to the size of the applause, it seems to be more enthusiastic than "The Farewell" and "The Turin Horse".
The former talks about society, politics, religion, whatever matters.
Even though the latter has basically nothing to do with Nietzsche, it has become the focus of Nietzsche's involvement.
"Director Li Chen, this is a wonderful suspense film. You are so good at telling stories. I thought the murderer was Miss Li Chen at first."
The host invited Li Chen and other main creators to the stage and said English was communicating with Li Chen.
Li Zhengyi couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Her English skills are quite good among the actresses.
I even had special training when filming "Snowflake and the Secret Fan". Huang Xiaoming knew that he was coming to Berlin, so he even hired a personal trainer to make up for it one-on-one.
Not to mention that the host thought so, more than 90% of the audience at the scene initially thought that the murderer was the mistress played by Li Congtong.
Because Huang Xiaoming's face is so decent, he doesn't look like a cunning and ruthless shopping mall tycoon at all. Li Chen smiled and said: "That's good. It means that this drama has not gone astray. If you guess the result right from the beginning, then I, the screenwriter and director, can retire early."
The main creators on the stage and the audience laughed heartily.
Huang Xiaoming thought to himself, the bigger the occasion, the more relaxed Director Li is. It is really rare that he can joke with a group of foreigners in such an occasion with ease and ease.
Chen Kaige in the audience had a stiff face and smiled unnaturally.
The courtesy Li Chen received in Berlin made him feel very uncomfortable.
Even if you don’t want to admit it, the fact is that Li Chen’s global influence has gradually pushed him further and further away from him, who is also the director of the Palme d’Or.
Chen Hong is like a roundworm in the belly of an old baby. When the old baby sticks out its hook, she knows what to fart.
Chen Hong bumped into the old baby gently. There are so many shots at the scene. Dear, smile more naturally, more naturally, look at me.
Director of "The Turin Horse" Tal took a deep look at Li Chen in the crowd and left in a hurry.
He never expected that this Chinese director would be Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway.
Film producers gathered, and Yang Siwei became a celebrity.
“Boss, you have to take the initiative!”
“Compared to “Space Traveler,” “The Invisible Guest” of yours really has a lot to offer.”
>
“Many established film companies in the United States, including Weinstein, Fox Searchlight, and Sony Classics, are willing to pay high prices for “The Invisible Guest.” It seems that the United States prefers brain-burning films.”
Yang Siwei came back to Xiaohe and Li Chen to report the results of the negotiations with the film producers.
Now that she is a mature corporate boss, she naturally understands the principle of waiting for a price.
The real story will be revealed tomorrow when the ratings for the show are released.
If they are not satisfied with the price, they can leave it to Chi You for distribution.
The next day, the performance score was 3.6, which was 0.1 points higher than "Farewell".
Sina Entertainment News
“Yesterday, Li Chen’s new work “The Invisible Guest” held its world premiere at the Berlin Film Palace.”
“The scene was star-studded, and there was also the chairman of the Venice Film Festival Marcol came to help."
"Li Chen lived up to expectations, and "The Invisible Guest" received unanimous praise from the audience, film critics, media and film producers."
"Germany. The media hailed it as a "roller coaster suspense film"
"The Berlin Film Festival program and the well-known American film magazine "SCREEN" have updated the critic scores. "The Invisible Guest" topped the list with 3.6 points, beating "The Farewell" and "The Turin Horse" and becoming the Golden Bear's biggest hit. .”
When the news spread back to China, Liu Yifei received countless congratulatory calls.
"Sissi, is my brother going to become a god? Three gold medals, tsk tsk, I don’t dare think about it."
"But it’s funny to think about it. My brother is a gold medalist. A great director with a Palme d'Or, but he doesn't have a golden rooster, a golden statue, or a golden horse, hahaha." Shu Chang was the first person to call Liu Yifei.
I feel happier than if she won the Best Actress herself.
"How did I know? Don't talk nonsense like the media." Liu Yifei is still very sensible. High scores in Europe's top three do not necessarily mean the winner of the grand prize.
This is tradition, of course there are exceptions.
Han Sanping and the school also called Li Chen to congratulate him.
Tian Zhuangzhuang also sent a text message to warn him to be normal.
Li Chen, who had always been calm, was no longer calm now.
With so many people optimistic about it, it would really be a laughing stock if he wasn't the one who caught the bear in the end, or if there wasn't even a silver bear.
At least Brother Kaizi had to sneer, and Taro probably had to secretly let out three strange laughs: Jie Jie Jie
"Siwei, come here and call me Tim too. Come on." Li Chen called his two generals and gave them some instructions.
After the premiere of "The Invisible Guest", the competition for the Golden Bear at this Berlin Film Festival gradually became clear.
Because there are not many good films this year.
The two films written by Li Chen of Rongchen Pictures, plus "The Farewell" and "The Turin Horse", a total of four films have become strong contenders for the Golden Bear.
In particular, "The Invisible Guest" and "Farewell", which were rated the top two in the program, are even more popular.
Hollywood media and German and Chinese media have focused on Li Chen.
Within two days, the chairman of the jury and the jury ran into trouble.
It’s okay that the score is so anxious.
The most troublesome thing is that the media in Hollywood, as well as the media in Venice and Cannes, have started to denigrate "The Invisible Guest" and are optimistic about "The Farewell" in a tacit understanding!
And the reasons are surprisingly consistent.
The New York Daily News and the Hollywood Daily Report were the first to report on this Berlin Film Festival as "a film festival that cannot escape a political atmosphere".
The content is even more explicit that he does not expect "The Invisible Guest", which has the highest rating, to be able to catch a bear in Berlin.
Needless to say, the reason is the hidden political rules of the Berlin Film Festival.
Even Merkel expressed concern about this.
Li Chen was also surprised. He just arranged for Yang Siwei and Tim to build momentum for "Farewell" in North America.
Why are Venice and Cannes also linked?
It was Marco who solved his doubts.
“The person from Cannes and I have long been dissatisfied with Berlin’s impurity. A film festival is a film festival, and film art should be the highest standard.”
Macor didn't even realize that this was Li Chen's strategy of giving first if he wanted to take something first.
