You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 280 Haozi, Gezi, I tried my best (1, please vote for the guarantee!)
Wang Quan took a look at the score of "No Man's Land" in the program, and it was 2.3 points, temporarily ranking No.3, much higher than the 1.9 points of the original time and space.

He guessed that the plot direction of this version of "No Man's Land" may be more in line with the expectations of film critics, unlike the castrated version of the original time and space that made various compromises for review.

The two versions can basically be regarded as two movies, 35% of the shots are different, which shows how much effort Ning Hao made to pass the review and ensure the smoothness of the story.

Wang Quan obviously likes this version better, not because he likes dark plots, he himself is more yearning for bright characters, but the plot of this version is more smooth and self-consistent, and the actors have more room to perform, so he will definitely Support this movie.

Judging from the overall level of this year's Berlin Film Festival, Ning Hao's director ability is obviously among the most outstanding.

The next day, Wang Quan attended the premiere of "Mei Lanfang". Apart from the director and his wife, Li Ming and Zhang Ziyi also showed up. The film critics and media people at the scene praised him unanimously. If it weren't for his too few roles, King Quan would give him a chance to win the Best Actor.

In fact, Wang Quan is a little disappointed. This version is exactly the same as the domestic release version. There are no new lenses, so the quality of the film has not improved at all. Take this opportunity to redeem your reputation.

Wang Quan really felt that Chen Hong was not a suitable producer for Chen Kaige. Chen Hong adored him, loved him, regarded him as a god, and couldn't control him at all, so it was inevitable that he would be self-willed when filming and filming. Expression becomes self-promotion.

He needs a strong producer, just like Xu Feng in "Farewell My Concubine".

At that time, Ms. Xu had already made a name for herself in the film industry. She was famous in the history of the film "Xia Nv". She was also the proprietress of Tomson Group and an investor in "Farewell My Concubine". Chen Kaige.

Coupled with the assistance of the top film talents from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the cast of Zhang Guorong, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, and Ge You, the screenwriter of Lu Wei, the music created by Zhao Jiping and Li Zongsheng, the photography of Gu Changwei, the sound effects of Tao Jing, and the music of Yang Zhanjia The artist, Kang Xiaotian's lighting, and Director Chen's father's guidance on the Peking Opera part while he was seriously ill, made this classic in the history of Chinese movies.

It is also because "Farewell My Concubine" was so successful that director Kai Ge could not get up and down. The most regrettable thing for Wang Quan was the later "Taoist Descending the Mountain", which can be called the pinnacle of director Chen Kaige's bad movies. Not as good as "The Promise", which is "Three Guns Surprise" directed by Xiaosheng Zhang Yimou.

Although teacher Xu Haofeng's original work is not very good, it is still much better than the movie version.

Today is still a special day, it is Zhang Ziyi’s 30th birthday. After the film’s premiere, she invited filmmakers and media people to her birthday party. Apart from Fan Bingbing, who was born in the 80s, only Zhang Ziyi was young up.

However, Wang Quan must not be able to participate. He declined the other party's invitation and just sent Li Xian over to socialize.

Later, "Mei Lanfang" gave a score of 2.4 points. Even if this movie does not reach half the level of "Farewell My Concubine", it can still reach the upper-middle level among the 17 entries this year.

In the next few days, Wang Quan and other jury members continued to watch movies and participate in various official activities. The scores of each movie's show catalog were continuously updated. 3.0 points.

"Mei Lanfang" and "No Man's Land" have also changed from high-to-high scores to high-to-medium scores at the beginning. This score situation has a good chance of winning awards, but there are too few awards, and the scores of several films are similar to them , so in the end it depends on the judges' thoughts, and royal power has become the key to the key.

During this period, good news came again from the United States. The Producers Guild Award was awarded, and "Slumdog Millionaire" won the best picture.

So far, the best film and best director of the four major weather vanes, "Slums" are all selected!The ability to harvest awards crushed the same year!
It can be said that if there is any mistake in the two awards at the Oscars, it will be the biggest tragedy in the history of the Oscars. The global media can criticize the Oscars for deliberately targeting Chinese directors and royal power. It will be a complete blow to the so-called American dream Trampling completely.

Therefore, during the Berlin Film Festival, in the news reports about Berlin, Wang Quan appeared more frequently than the directors of the entries.

In China, he also has more presence than Chen Kaige and Ning Hao. His every move, every word and deed is watched by media people from China, and eating a German sausage with Diane Kruger on the roadside will make headlines .

Concubine Liu Yi and Yang Mi can see his news almost every day in the capital, which can also satisfy some feelings of longing.

Concubine Liu Yi learned from the painful experience and decided to go to Mei Yanqiu. If she wanted to learn Mei's cuisine, it would not only satisfy her mother Liu Xiaoli, but if she married Wang Quan in the future, it would also be more in line with his appetite.

Mei Yanqiu was shocked, and called her son to tell her about it. Wang Quan told her, "Let her learn knife skills, ask Song Piaopiao to teach her, and learn how to kill fish and chicken."

Anyway, Concubine Liu Yi is also idle now, she will learn knife skills for a few months first, which will save a lot of trouble when filming in the future.

"You don't feel sorry for her little hands. They are as tender as tofu. What a pity to go to the kitchen."

Wang Quan, "Who made her like it?" She likes acting but has no talent, so she can only practice so hard.

Mei Yanqiu thought her son was saying that Concubine Liu Yi liked cooking, and wondered if she would inherit the banquet in the Mei Mansion in the future?

On the other hand, in the last semester of university, Yang Mi chose to cooperate with a classmate from the directing department in his Olympic bid to shoot his A-level graduation short film. With her current position, it was very expensive, and she didn't take any money, so she was supporting the newcomer.

Less than two weeks passed quickly. One day before the closing ceremony, all the awards had to be confirmed, and then the award-winning crews were notified to participate in tomorrow's closing ceremony + awards ceremony. The 17 crews were very nervous.

On this day, Wang Quan called Gadot, Mimi, Sissy, and Zaza respectively, because today is 2, the first Valentine's Day after he and Gadot made their relationship public, and it was after he and Xianmi confirmed their relationship. His first Valentine's Day is the first Valentine's Day after he made offerings to Nazha.

After uttering sweet words four times with dry mouth, Wang Quan was ready to tear up the award.

The cell phones of the seven jury members were all handed over, and they were locked in a conference room with projector equipment, where they could watch the shortlisted films at any time.

Tilda Swinton looked very experienced, and she was going to decide on the Golden Bear from the very beginning. This short-haired woman was full of aura, "I support the Golden Bear in "The Sadness of Water", whoever agrees, whoever opposes."

Everyone seems to have a good impression of this movie shot in Peru, and they don't seem to want to refute Tilda's face, so King Quan is the only one who stands up to oppose, "I object, I support "No Man's Land."

Tilda didn't expect this young Hollywood director to be so disrespectful to himself. I haven't slept with you, so it can't be the reason for you to fight against me!
However, Tilda is also very wise. Wang Quan’s reputation has been flourishing recently, and she cannot be head-to-head. She smiled and said, ""No Man's Land" is indeed a very good work, and I like it very much. Let's vote and support "" Those who support "No Man's Land" raise their left hands."

Then three people raised their left hands, including Tilda, and three people raised their right hands, including Wang Quan, Wang Ying and Diane. Sure enough, the German sausage was not free, and they still had some friendship with Diane.

Swedish novelist Henning Mankell doesn't like either, "I like the Uruguayan film 'Crush'."

Diane immediately turned against her, "Yes, actually I also like this movie very much, it's very interesting." And this Uruguayan movie was actually co-produced with Germany.

Although they are all three-on-three, the opponent has a main attacker, and one main attacker can defeat six of them. In addition, Diane turned against "Secret Love", "No Man's Land" basically has no hope of winning the Golden Bear, and there is still no sausage. Enough.

However, Wang Quan didn't expect to win the grand prize for "No Man's Land", he just put out his own position first, regardless of whether he can win the grand prize or not, but this award, I am determined.

As we all know, there is only one gold award in the three main competition units in Europe, and the rest are silver awards, but silver awards and silver awards are also different.

In Berlin, for example, the biggest award is the Golden Bear for Best Picture.

The second grand prize is the Jury Prize Silver Bear.

The third prize is the Silver Bear for Best Director.

The remaining Best Actor and Actress, Best Screenplay, Outstanding Artistic Contribution, and the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award can only be classified as fourth-level awards.

Therefore, although movie fans and fans pay more attention to the ownership of the actor and actress, at the international film festivals, those awards are leftovers, and most of the time they are compensation for excellent films that did not win the previous awards.

Of course, there are also many times because the performance is too outstanding, it is too dazzling for people to ignore.

Tilda skipped the jury award and said the best director award first.

"I think Asghar Farhadi, the director of the Iranian film "About Elli" is very good. What do you think?"

Of course not bad, this is the Iranian director that King Quan pays the most attention to, and this guy later made the Iranian masterpiece "A Separation".

However, Wang Quan still made an objection, "I admire Maren Ade, the director of "The Perfect Second Couple" more. As a female director, I am surprised by her delicate handling of the emotions between men and women. She is also the director of this Berlin Film Festival. Very rare quality."

Some people nodded in agreement, especially Diane Kruger, who vocally supported Wang Quan's view. "The Perfect Second Couple" is the only pure German film in this film festival.

This time Tilda did not play the show of hands, but asked everyone if they had any other favorite candidates for the best director.

Then the Spanish director nominated Isabel Cosette, the director of the British film "Shirley", who was famous for "The Queen" two years ago.

At this time, Wang Ying proposed Ning Hao, the director of "No Man's Land", "This is his second feature film, but I think his maturity is far beyond that of his peers."

In the end, King Quan gave up "Perfect Second Pair" in favor of Tilda's "About Ellie". With the support of the two most powerful judges, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director. The first award to be finalized.

Next, Wang Quan once again unequivocally supported Xu Zheng or Huang Bo in "No Man's Land" to win the Best Actor Award, and joked, "Huang Bo's dead man is simply amazing. Although there are fewer roles, but I believe this role will be the most impressive in Berlin this year."

No one refuted, but other people also have their own object of support. Wang Quan is talking to the Confucianism, analyzing the performance of Xu Zheng and Huang Bo from the details, and then analyzing the flaws and regrets of other actors.

Everyone was amazed by his solid knowledge of performance theory, and even more amazed by his memory. He could even remember the subtleties of the lines clearly. Tilda even applied for several screenings to verify King Quan's statement.

This time, Tilda didn't take the lead in expressing her opinion. She asked everyone to discuss it, but it was obvious that other people could not compete for the kingship.

But Tilda did not decide on the best actor candidate. She put this award on hold, and she asked everyone to discuss the following awards.

Best Actress for "Perfect Second Couple" supported by King Power's Pokit Minimiya.

As for the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, he believed that "Mei Lanfang" has a relatively high artistic content, and explained in detail about Beijing opera and the details about Mei Lanfang that foreigners cannot understand.

However, he did not insist too much, making appropriate concessions, and later turned to support the Uruguayan film "Secret Love" that Tilda admired.

After the first round of discussions, except for the best director, no other awards were awarded. Tilda's achievements were not enough to support her becoming an arbitrary chairman of the jury.

Although Wang Quan is young, no one at the scene dared to ignore his opinion. There is no way, this 24-year-old young man has achieved too much. Even if he fails to return to the Oscars a few days later, he will be considered unfair by the film industry. , God can't tolerate it.

Wang Quan and Tilda had confrontations and cooperation, and the ownership of the awards was gradually divided under the leadership of the two. Well, the pork was evenly divided.

This pork sharing meeting lasted for seven hours, and the lunch in the middle was also eaten in this conference room.

It was not until the main creators of the participating films had finished their dinner that the festival was not notified.

"Please be sure to attend tomorrow's awards ceremony."

With this notification, it means that the film has achieved something. If it is not notified, it is now possible to pack up and prepare to leave.

Ning Hao put down the phone and kissed his wife Xing Aina fiercely. They could stay!
He told Xu Zheng and Huang Bo the good news, and both of them were thinking, should they be the best actor?
Xu Zheng asked, "Haozi, can the crew of "Mei Lanfang" next door leave?"

"Xiaona went to ask."

After a while, Xing Aina came back, panting, "Director Kai Ge and the others were also invited to stay!"

Huang Bo let out a "huh", "Wang Dao is awesome! Both films have been torn down!"
