Chapter 502 Berlin? Cannes?
This year’s Berlin Film Festival film list has begun to be updated.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" is among the eight new films shortlisted for the main competition.

After including "Fireworks in the Day" and "Massage" in the main competition last year, and awarding the highest Golden Bear Award to "Fireworks in the Day", the Berlin Film Festival once again showed its close attention to Chinese-language films.

For Jiang Wen, "One Step Away" being shortlisted for Berlin means that his five works in the past 20 years have "collected" tickets to the main competition sections of the three major European international film festivals: Cannes, Venice, and Berlin.

Previously, "Sunny Days", "The Devil Is Coming" and "The Sun Also Rises" had competed for the Golden Lion or the Palme d'Or respectively.

This will be his first time attending the Berlin Film Festival as a director and competing for the Golden Bear.

At the same time, Mengying Media also received an invitation from the Berlin Film Festival.

Naturally it’s for Li Mu’s new work “La La Land”.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Li's phone is still not connected. I guess he's taking a break."

Lu Yu still couldn't get through to Li Mu.

Therefore, not only Li Mu, but also the rest of the crew were a little nervous.

No wonder Jiang Wen responded calmly, "Everything is the best arrangement."

The substitute found at this time was once again explaining some precautions for ice swimming with Leonardo.

Jiang Wen is very happy. Although the box office is not very good, he has been shortlisted, and if he can win a grand prize, he may be able to save the copyright.

"Fuck, I promise, I will never make a movie like this again."

As Leonardo swam, he had to show his difficulty in escaping.

the staff asked.

This is a scene of glacial escape.

"I don't know if there will be any fish."

At this time, the strong man standing in for him also glanced at his flesh. In their words, if he didn't gain more flesh, he wouldn't be able to survive here.

Your physical constitution alone may not be able to bear it.

"Li, if you use a stand-in, some shots won't be close-up. You know, the lake in the sub-shots can't be realized without real shots."

Liu Weijuan said lightly that "La La Land" is still in the late stages. If you want to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival, you need to speed up the progress, because Berlin will open in a month.

Li Mu asked him again and found that the substitute he found was someone from nearby. He was already used to it and had even tried ice swimming many times.

When everyone used the rope to fish him ashore, his whole body felt as if he was going numb.

"Berlin?"

The lonely and desolate glacier stands before everyone's eyes.

Leonardo joked, as if he wanted to lighten the tense atmosphere.

Moreover, Berlin prefers serious themes, so it is not particularly suitable for "La La Land" to follow Berlin's path.

"Okay, tie the rope."

Then I looked through the rest of the inquiries.

Li Mu no longer hesitated and warned.

But for Leonardo, it's different.

After everything was ready, Leonardo personally jumped into the sub-zero glacier, and everyone couldn't help but shudder.

In the past two days, Li Mu and other members of the crew rehearsed several times nearby, and the filming went much smoother this time.

After all, Li Mu was about 13 hours behind the domestic speed. At this time, Li Mu was sleeping soundly.

"Li, the glacier in front is very suitable for shooting. Should Leon go down in person or let a stand-in?"

The crew now came to a desolate place.

But the work must go on.

Looking at the glass of ice-covered water inside, it was crystal clear and at the same time, everyone seemed to feel an unknown coldness, which seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

His teeth were shaking as he spoke.

Li Mu directly replied to the text message, asking Liu Weijuan to decline Berlin's invitation.

I didn’t have time to express my feelings. It would be unreasonable if we had to let him jump again because of errors in the work of the people on the shore.

"It's okay. The Berlin Film Festival is probably not Mr. Li's first choice for films, and it probably won't be in time."

The next day, Li Mu got up and saw Lu Yu's missed call, but he still left a message.

The relatively lubricated one was installed once.

Leonardo breathed out, seemingly determined.

On the one hand, if you want to go, "The Revenant" will need to be stopped for at least a week. The progress is already very slow, which is a bit of a loss.

"Leon, make sure you don't need a substitute."

Leonardo has been resting for the past two days, and the entire crew continues filming.

Li Mu pursed his lips. He didn't really want to take "La La Land" to Berlin.

"Perfect!!!"

Li Mu and everyone applauded, "Once and for all!!!"

"Fortunately, it was over once and for all."

Before Leonardo could finish speaking, he sneezed directly and his nose couldn't stop.

"Oh, shit!"

Then he collapsed lazily to the ground, and the medical staff quickly sighed and checked.

"Unfortunately, I have a fever again, and this time it's even more serious."

The medical staff shrugged and expressed.

Li Mu patted his forehead. It was really not something that could be solved by just one illness. "This antibody comes so slowly."

Leonardo said weakly.

"Stop talking. Everyone pack your things and go back to continue rehearsing."

"Hahaha"

Everyone smiled helplessly.

Li Mu was also at a loss. To make a good film, he had to actually shoot it, and it was necessary for Leonardo to not use a stand-in, otherwise the film would not make much sense.

But all kinds of things are bound to happen, after all, the conditions are very harsh.

But difficulties must be overcome, otherwise how could one of the most beautiful movies ever be made.

Every frame of this movie so far is stunning: the scenery, the snow, the blood and the violence.
Leonardo didn't just lie down when he was resting. According to Li Mu's arrangement, he directly studied the scene of the human-bear fight.

The crew prepared more than 100 bear fighting videos, which not only Leonardo wanted to watch, but also Li Mu and several photographers.

Only in this way can this wonderful picture be achieved.

At the same time, this year's Golden Globe Awards finally came to an end.

As the first gathering of Hollywood stars after the Sony hacking incident and the Paris terrorist attacks, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which has always had no moral integrity and no bottom line, has a good balance between humor and vitriol, boastful greetings and greater significance. Find the balance.

This edition is also known as the "grown-up" edition of the Golden Globe Awards, showing more of the humanistic side.

As expected, "Boyhood" became the biggest winner, winning the awards for Best Picture, Director and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Eddie Redmayne won the Golden Globe Award, just as Leonardo thought.

Leonardo sighed in response.

Somehow in China, word spread that "La La Land" declined the invitation from the Berlin Film Festival and moved to the Cannes Film Festival.

Many directors in the industry are not only envious but also envious.

After all, great directors are really good. They can also take multiple-choice questions. It would be great if they could get into one of them.

"It's a pity that if "One Step Away" wasn't suitable for Cannes, I could have competed for the Palme d'Or with Lao Li."

Jiang Wen said with some regret, but his words were full of pride.

After all, it is them, whoever else can rush wherever they want.

"Director Li's film is very suitable for Cannes. I guess he went there for the grand prize."

Zhou Yun said softly from the side, looking at Jiang Wen with an especially gentle look.

"Lao Li must be chasing the big prize, but I don't know who will win the Palme d'Or this time."

"If Director Li wins this award, it should be a Grand Slam."

Zhou Yun couldn't help but said in surprise, this is an Oscar plus three majors rolled into one.

"It's still early. Even if we win the Palme d'Or, we're still short of a Golden Bear. But if we win, it doesn't matter whether we have the Bear or not."

Jiang Wen lamented that the influence of Cannes was once greater than that of the Oscars. Even now, among the three major international film festivals, only Cannes can compete with the Oscars.

On the other side, the annual Sina Weibo Night is still going to kick off in some time.

However, Cao Guowei looked at the invitation list and was very dissatisfied.

You must know that this year’s Weibo Night is different from the past.

This year is the most critical year for social media to combine “traffic marketing” and “attention economy”.

It is necessary to establish an image in the industry and lay a traffic foundation.

"Do you think these celebrities are popular enough?"

Cao Guowei banged his hand on the table, his expression not very good, "The most popular ones, the ones that have countless people interacting with them as soon as they are posted on Weibo, and the ones with big names, please come back to me."

The subordinates were also a little embarrassed and couldn't help but joke.

"Mr. Cao, according to your requirements, it is estimated that Liu Yifei meets the requirements at present. You know the situation."

Cao Guowei was also stunned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, you go down first, and I will figure this out."

It's not that he hasn't invited Li Mu and Liu Yifei, but they happened to have no time in the past few years.

If Liu Yifei is willing to come, there is no need to make a choice, just send the queen over.

But Li Mu and Liu Yifei are not people who pay attention to these things.

"This matter probably has to start from Li Mu."

Cao Guowei pondered for a moment, now is the time to establish an image on Weibo night, and all the people invited are young and very popular actors and stars.

But to be honest, there is no one who can calm down the crowd and convince the crowd.

In fact, the king and queen chosen in recent years can only be said to be in the past, but Weibo netizens must recognize whether there is still one.

Cao Guowei was distressed for a moment, and was about to call Li Mu to get through the phone. His hand was still in the air, but he immediately put it down and gave up the idea.

Mainly because of the time difference, I guess I have to do it myself.

At night in China, Li Mu only got up. Leonardo fell ill again in the past few days. For everyone, it meant that they could sleep for an extra hour or two.

You don’t have to work so early.

Early mornings in Calgary often make people stare blankly.

When you open the curtains, the first thing you see may be a scene covered in snow.

In this scene, buildings and trees are covered with ice and snow, shrouded in silver.

Under the sunlight, the ice crystals shine faintly on the branches, shining like pearls.

The cold air is filled with a fresh smell.
