My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 192 Two at the Berlin International Film Festival! (1 chapter asks for subscription! Six thousand chapters ask for monthly ticket reward!)
In February, Chi Yu couldn't all stay on the set.

February, the arrival of spring, is one of the best times of the year.

When spring comes, good things will follow.

It's just a pity that Chi Yu is in this crew and Di Li Ruobai is in another crew.

The two of them are one south and one north, and they can only video for a while every night, and they have to be on guard, don't have hackers or something, hack into their mobile phones!

Waking up every morning, Chi Yu felt that the city of Wuxi was very beautiful.

The fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and the spring breeze is everywhere.

And in this fragrance of flowers and spring breeze, from February 2th to February 16th, is the Berlin Film Festival, and even the Oscars.

"Farewell My Concubine"'s terrifying prize-winning journey has only just begun.

This year, there are many big film festivals.

The three major players in Europe, Tokyo and Shanghai, will all be the time for "Farewell My Concubine" to shine.

People can't help but recall that the previous "Parasite" in Kimchi Country was almost invincible in major film festivals and film awards.

Today's "Farewell My Concubine" is even worse than that!

The Berlin Film Festival lasts for two weeks, but neither the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" nor the high-profile actor Chi Yu need to stay there all the time.

A hit movie has the dignity of a hit.

The crew was still very considerate and gave Chi Yu a little more than a week off.

And they all wished him another best actor trophy at the Berlin Film Festival, which is the Silver Bear Award.

"This is out of my control now. What if they hate Xiao Li for being too handsome and purposely refuse to give the Best Actor Award, and don't give me the Silver Bear Award, I can't help it."

Facing everyone's congratulations, Chi Yu said with a "mourning" face.

"Hurry up and get out! I can't see your Versailles expression again!" Zhang Hanyu automatically integrated into Liu Chuanjian's character and his attitude towards Chi Yu.

"Oh, let's just get lost!" Chi Yu cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Of course, he was able to walk so gracefully mainly because the filming of his scenes on the plane had already been finished.

The rest is part of the scene on the ground.

At this time, it is still necessary to shoot the flight attendants and passengers on the plane, that is, most of the scenes in the cabin. This part is the most complicated and difficult to shoot.

Unlike the cockpit, no matter how complicated it is, it is mainly reflected in the complexity of the instruments.

On February 2, Chi Yu was the last one to arrive in Berlin.

The next day, "Farewell My Concubine" held a press conference in Berlin. Director Chen Wuji, producer Chen Hong, and three leading actors, Chi Yu, Fu Dalong and Wan Qian, were all present.

The press conference attracted hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists.

This movie still has a high score of 9.6 points, ranking first in a certain Chinese-language film rating list.

Airborne!

The original ranking was the National Teacher's "To Live" with a score of 9.1.

Speaking of "To Live", Yu Hua, the original author, fully explained what it means to bring sadness to readers, and I am the only one who is happy.

Most people who have watched "To Live" can't bear to watch it again for the first time.

And this original work, the evaluation of a certain petal, is as high as 9.6 points.

It can be said that the owner of the novel and his family identity condense almost all the disasters of the past few decades, and even readers find it too late to sympathize, just a series of blows!
In this book, every heavy tragedy is painful.

"To Live" is a brutal read, and Yu Hua literally goes out of his way to show how a misguided fate can destroy a person's life.

But Yu Hua, who lived by "To Live", has now become a joke player.

Closer to home.

Looking back at "Farewell My Concubine", the movie score is much higher than the 9.1 points of the original book.

And the score of 9.1 may not be without the bonus to the novel after "Farewell My Concubine" was released.

This movie is too bad.

The popularity, as well as the evaluation, are much higher than the previous Asian movie, which is "Parasite".

Compared with the heavy and magnificent sense of history in "Farewell My Concubine", "Parasite" seems petty... let alone mention it.

Someone commented: "Farewell My Concubine is undoubtedly the master of Chen Wuji's films!"

This is a very high evaluation.

Collectors, these four characters originally refer to people who integrate ideas, theories, styles, techniques, etc. of various schools to form their own system or style.

Putting it here, the main point is that "Farewell My Concubine" embodies the advantages and highlights of almost all of Chen Wuji's movies.

And those points that people criticized did not appear, or were hidden very deeply.

A film critic said: "This period of modern and contemporary Chinese history, which is deeply painful to Chen Wuji and his contemporaries, is only sliced ​​in the film to reflect a desperate 'love triangle'-the classic melodrama. Acting."

"Every historical moment that can be clearly identified and bears too heavy a memory of the Hua people is only used as a 'background screening'."

"And this background screening provides an opportunity and a stage for the true feelings and emotional blackmail between the characters, and adds the sadness of troubled times and the bitterness of fate to the characters when they are heartbroken."

In this grand narrative of transgender, Chen Wuji is full of vigor to cover the last 5000 years, with a strong pen force and meticulous attention to detail.

Regardless of whether you agree with the proposition in the play that "people have to fulfill themselves by themselves", it is undeniable that this is an extremely meticulously shot movie.

It is so meticulous that "no word has no origin" and "no scene has no behind-the-scenes article".

As small as a set scene board, "Huiban enters Beijing", "Sanqing", "Sixi", "Chuntai" and "Hechun" must be drawn, and "Thirteen Wonders of Tongguang" must be drawn.

The European side especially likes this tuned phone.

History is mixed with literary and artistic thinking.

In literature and art, there is also humanistic care.

At the press conference, Chen Wuji was full of joy.

In the face of reporters' questions, he talked freely.

"It's still the first sentence, this movie is my gift to the world's movies. In fact, I probably did it. And how this gift is needs to be evaluated by movie lovers all over the world."

"Director Chen, what subject will you choose for your next movie?" A reporter asked a question.

The award-winning journey of "Farewell My Concubine" is not over yet, and some people have already started to care about it.

Chen Wuji thought for a while and said, "I need to rest for a year or so. After all, this "Farewell My Concubine" has consumed too much energy. You can also see that I am not young anymore."

In fact, the three words not young are a bit inappropriate to describe his age.

Another reporter asked: "What is the reason that prompted you to make such a great movie?"

After listening to the translation, Chen Wuji smiled slightly, and said reservedly: "I have always been very interested in history and humanities. I have always wanted to make a movie where historical concerns and humanistic concerns coexist. So, there is this "Farewell My Concubine"."

"In the movie, you seem to be mourning the lost arts of your country. Excuse me, is this your reflection on the current development of China?" a white reporter asked.

"The Chinese nation has always been a nation that is good at reflection. In the course of history, we have adopted the method of extracting the essence and discarding the dross for some things."

Chen Wuji said: "As you say, existence is meaningful, so the demise of a thing, or an art form, also has its own special meaning."

"Don't you think that you are marginalizing and politicizing some ethnic things?"

The white reporter asked.

Chen Wuji didn't answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question: "It seems that you are trying to use various means to marginalize and politicize us."

The white reporter was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer, "We're only talking about movies today, not about anything else."

"En!" Chen Wuji gave him a cold look.

At this time, a reporter from a major domestic TV station asked: "Director Chen, how many awards do you think "Farewell My Concubine" can win at the Berlin Film Festival?"

"The more the better."

Chen Wuji felt that the level of reporters in this big station was quite average.

Even, it's not as good as the white reporter who was bullied by me just now, at least he asked something.

At this time, you still ask such inexplicable words, it is simply inexplicable.

So unprofessional.

Fortunately, the reporter also realized it, and immediately asked: "Director Chen, some viewers pointed out that the movie is nearly three hours long and looks tiring. Why did you use such a long length?"

"actual needs."

Chen Wuji felt that this question was a bit standard, but someone should have asked a similar question before.

So he said directly: "The length of a movie depends on what you want to express in the movie. If you just want people to laugh or cry after watching it, then one and a half hours is enough."

"If you make people laugh or cry with some thinking, it may take about two hours. And you want the audience to think and resonate, but it may take longer."

"Especially, movies like "Farewell My Concubine" that involve 50 years of history."

Afterwards, Chi Yu was also asked.

Coming to the Berlin Film Festival again is completely different from the first time.

At that time, he and Lao Zhao were completely juniors in the film industry. It was a bit like a beggar who suddenly made a fortune, put on a brand-name clothes, and became a beggar in the circle of celebrities.

The whole process is at a loss, and even smells like a rookie.

It wasn't until the Cannes Film Festival later that I got used to it.

This time, Chi Yu was quite at ease.

Although he can't do it, like Chen Wuji, he can directly show the reporter's face, but he already has the status to talk freely and make everyone laugh spontaneously.

"We all know that since they are traditional male actors, there are still very few people in history who really got their personalities wrong."

After the reporter finished speaking, he asked: "So, what do you think of Cheng Dieyi's gender setting in the movie, and how do you act out this psychological deviation?"

"Cheng Dieyi's gender setting is a metaphor. Because his psychological personality is more female, it will make people feel that he plays Yu Ji, just like Yu Ji is reborn. He likes senior brothers and also gets some sympathy from the audience."

Chi Yu said, and then he talked about how to act: "Actually, as long as you grasp Cheng Dieyi's character confidence, it's not too difficult to play this role."

"And the most difficult thing is that we hope that when the audience watches the movie, they won't feel that Cheng Dieyi is a girly character."

"He is a woman, not a sissy."

Chi Yu's answer made some reporters at the scene laugh.

It is true that many actors, when playing the role of a man disguised as a woman, often deliberately exaggerate some actions or behaviors, and as a result they become sissy.

"Chi, the last time you came to the Berlin Film Festival, you got nothing. This time, do you think there will be better results?" A white lady asked.

It seems that foreign journalists will also ask such questions that have no real answers.

However, Chi Yu knew that no matter what, on the outside, he had to be humble and have strong self-confidence.

So he smiled and said, "Every filmmaker who comes here is aiming for a better result. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. In my words, believe in yourself!"

"Because when you believe in yourself, it often leads to good results."

Several questions were answered afterward.

At the same time, Fu Dalong and Wan Qian, the two leading actors, were also frequently asked questions.

After the press conference, everyone was exhausted and excited.

"How about you, can you still hold on?"

Although Chen Wuji is almost seventy, he is still full of energy.

This one, as well as Zhang Guoshi, are really active.

Generally speaking, at their age, directors have already retreated behind the scenes, working as film producers and even film reviewers.

Even easier, like a design company, list some new directors.

There is income and fame - of course, if the movie fails, just push it around and say that you don't know it at all.

And under normal circumstances, because you are a new director, you will get the greatest degree of tolerance.

Also because it is a new director, the first film he makes often has a strong sense of style. You can say that he is not good-looking, but generally it is unlikely to be a purely bad film.

Of course not without exception...

Speaking of going back to Chen Wuji and Zhang Guoshi, these two basically maintain the rhythm of at least two movies.

Not fast, but definitely not slow either.

And basically the movies produced by these two, regardless of the final box office, the overall quality, regardless of the script, is still much higher than other directors.

Generally, they make money. If they don’t make money at the box office, they can also make money commercially.

Seeing that Chen Wuji was energetic, Chi Yu also sat up straight, and said: "This is only the first day, if you can't hold on, what will you do in the next few days?"

Fu Dalong doesn't talk much, but he is still very excited about this kind of international filmmakers' event.

And it is indeed coming in a dignified manner.

Wan Qian is naturally the same.

"We didn't come early. Because the movie has already been released, we don't have to come at the beginning of the film festival."

Chen Wuji said, and then said: "Although I didn't say too much during the interview with reporters during the day, but at present, our movie is indeed the highest rated one."

In this kind of film festival, every film participating in the exhibition, especially the film participating in the award, will have a score.

The higher the score, the higher the chance of winning the prize.

Hearing what Chen Wuji said, everyone became even more motivated.

Even Fu Dalong and Wan Qian were not nominated, but if the movie wins the grand prize, then their resumes will also be impressive.

"Tomorrow everyone will act separately."

Chen Wuji made arrangements: "Chi Yu, you have already been here once, this time you will act on your own, and I will provide you with an interpreter. Dalong and Wanqian are together."

"it is good."

The three of them naturally had no objection to his arrangement.

……

The next day, everyone separated.

The higher the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine", the higher the possibility of winning an award at the Berlin Film Festival.

The higher the possibility of winning, the higher the popularity.

Although it seems that the competitors are not strong at present.

But for a film participating in this kind of international film festival, the more exposure, the better.

In the next few days, I will participate in the film exhibition.

Shuttle in different theaters, naturally let others come to watch "Farewell My Concubine".

After the film festival, because there is enough time, everyone also has time to participate in some activities other than film, such as personal interviews, such as simple sightseeing and so on.

But Chi Yu found out that it was more interesting.

This time, because it is more calm, the feeling is slightly different.

Only this time did he discover that the climate and streets of Berlin were so similar to those of the capital.

At the film exhibition, there are too many domestic filmmakers, and there are even many domestic audiences.

At the Berlin Film Festival three years ago, the movie "Son So Long" won the Silver Bear for Best Actor and Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival.

The two Silver Bear Awards were taken away by Wang Jingbang and Yong Mei respectively.

At that time, it was also a filmmaker from Huaguo, and it was the first time that he won the best actor and best actress crown at the three major European film festivals.

But this time, the ambition of "Farewell My Concubine" is obviously greater.

Chi Yu's other biggest feeling is that there are already foreign fans who have asked to take a photo with him, unlike the last time he brought "Buried Alive" to the exhibition, no one cared at all.

Along the way, Chi Yu was recognized by different film colleagues, directors or actors, and the media, and then he was interviewed.

When he enters the movie theater to watch some participating films that are being screened, he will also be asked about his impressions.

From this, Chi Yu knew that his current status was indeed different.

Then there were those who asked him for autographs, those who brought the photos of "Farewell My Concubine" to him for autographs, and even those who brought the original novels to him for autographs, there were dozens of them in one day!
A fan took a photo of the poster of "Farewell My Concubine" and asked him to sign it.

"Chi, in the movie, you played the role of Cheng Dieyi, who pursues art beyond life, very well!"

Said the fans.

There are also movie fans who saw the real Chi Yu, and expressed disbelief: "My God, I always thought that you would be more feminine. I didn't expect, well, I should have been misled by the appearance in the movie."

"You are handsome! You are the most handsome Chinese person I have ever seen!" said the fan.

Perhaps in his life, he has not met many Chinese people.

But Chi Yu is very happy, after all, you really have to be happy when facing an honest person.

When he was alone, Chi Yu wandered the streets around the film festival, looking at the scenery and people, or buying some small items.

In an open-air teahouse, Chi Yu suddenly thought of a second-course ticket dealer at the Cannes Film Festival.

I don't know where he is working as a ticket dealer now, or started traveling poorly again.

Domestically, they have been following every move of "Farewell My Concubine" at the Berlin Film Festival, and news can be sent back at any time.

What Chen Wuji had a good chat with many media and film critics, what Chi Yu exchanged business cards with many big-name directors, what Chi Yu had a good chat with a famous actress...

In short, it is as big as a formal speech, as small as spitting gum, and it can be taken domestically.

……

On the 25th, "Farewell My Concubine" was unanimously approved by 11 international film critics, and won the heavyweight International Film Critics Association "Phypersie Award".

The FIPRESCI Award is not an official award of the Berlin International Film Festival.

It is an award sponsored by the International Film Critics Association.

This association, founded in Brussels in 1930, has a longer history than the Berlin International Film Festival, and currently has members from more than 50 countries or regions in the world.

In addition to the three major international film festivals in Europe, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Warsaw International Film Festival also have "International Film Critics FIPRESCI Awards".

The award aims to recognize the most progressive film production selected by the association.

Winning this award, and being unanimously voted, shows that the movie "Farewell My Concubine" holds great weight among international film critics.

The next day.

On the afternoon of the 26th, the red carpet ceremony of the Green Film Festival.

The crew of "Farewell My Concubine" almost made their finale appearance, and even got the treatment of clearing the stage from the organizer, and asked them to walk as slowly as possible to give the media reporters more time to take photos.

From the start of the red carpet, the traffic of "Farewell My Concubine" has exploded in China.

At the same time, those domestic artists who come to the red carpet and film festivals also frequently occupy a certain amount of traffic and hot searches.

Especially some stars who often appear on the red carpet.

The minimalist fabrics set off their curvy bodies, and then attracted some crazy happy combos of the shots.

The cameras here are all big brothers.

Since he is the eldest brother, he can't help but strike at beautiful things.

If it wasn't for this reason, it is estimated that the number of people who learn photography will be reduced by half every year, and the sales of photography equipment will also plummet!
"Hehe! This person has gone again!"

"How embarrassing! She is already cold, is there really no one to take care of her?"

"Besides, once a year, doesn't it cost money?"

"Why don't you spend money, but it's worth it!"

"Spend a little money, and then reap the traffic. You may get back ten times, dozens of times, or even a hundred times as soon as you turn around."

"What does it mean to be able to invest, this is called being able to invest!"

"Don't look down on them. Since the Berlin Film Festival allows the presence of red carpet stars, it means that they need this income, and it should be quite a lot."

"If it's just a dozen or twenty renminbi every year, it won't be worth losing face for a little money."

"So, it's not the red carpet stars who are shameless, but the film festival itself, understand?"

"Besides, the red carpet stars are not the only ones from our side! You just go and see, and I know that those who stand on the red carpet and refuse to leave are so embarrassing that it makes people heinous, and there are more foreigners!"

For a while, discussions about red carpet stars were rampant.

Of course, some people like to watch these too.

Because some red carpets are obviously in order to show off, showing off, showing off, tearing up, and doing everything.

Then there will be some welfare photos.

Chi Yu naturally didn't know this.

After the red carpet, the Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony that he, and most of those who supported him, was looking forward to officially began.

How "Farewell My Concubine" will perform at this Berlin Film Festival will be revealed soon.

　Thank you Xingchenjin, this monthly ticket is useless! ! !
