Chapter 705 Everyone takes a step back

To be precise, the boys in the movie "Minefield" did pretty well.

This movie tells the story of a group of young German prisoners who were handed over to the Danish authorities after Germany surrendered in World War II.

They were sent to the west coast, and under the leadership of Danish officers, they began extremely dangerous demining work. In fact, they were sent to die.

The officer initially beat and kicked them, but later reconciled and even let them go.

In fact, the war really began to end after the officers released them. Otherwise, as long as the fire in people's hearts still burns, the war will never end.

Both major awards were easily achieved, which again came as a bit of a surprise to the judges.

Soon the selection for the best screenwriter began.

This time Dennis was the first to speak up: "I think the movie "Gangs" is suitable for this award. He explores it very deeply."

"I don't agree. I can't agree with the values ​​​​of this movie." Xu Qing took the initiative to speak out again, and her voice was not quiet.

It was clear she was unhappy with the movie.

"The existence of movies is to provide a perspective, not to be politically correct and consistent." Takita Yojiro retorted.

"Maybe this has something to do with you being a woman." Corneliu analyzed Xu Qing.

"Gang" is a movie about rape. The heroine was raped in a teaching place. The people who raped her were even her students, and she chose to forgive them.

Forget it, she also gave birth to the child she conceived after being forcefully hugged, and looked at the Virgin Mary from a domestic perspective.

"I think the screenwriter of "The Idealist" is good. Most people will give up when they find out that they are facing a state machine, but that is not the case with The Idealist.

It's really sad to see the male protagonist still choose to move forward after learning about his opponent. This story is interesting and more meaningful than the discussion in "Gang". "Zhang Yang said.

"What Director Zhang said makes sense. Although the film has no conflict, no climax, and no surprises, it is precisely in this way that people can focus on the plot itself." Chen Deneng also agreed.

"I also agree with Director Zhang's point of view." Xu Qing also said. She wasn't necessarily interested in the movie "The Idealists," but she was not interested in the movie "The Gang."

"I agree," Florian said.

Another unexpected result appeared. Zhang Yang recommended a Danish movie, a documentary-style movie.

This caused differences among the four foreigners.

Zhang Yang looked at all this with satisfaction and said calmly: "Then let's vote!"

When four people, including Zhang Yang, agreed that the film "The Idealist" would win the best screenplay, the result was decided.

After the result, Zhang Yang took the initiative again and said: "For the next Best Director Award, I think "Master" is quite suitable.

Xu Haofeng's film was shot in a very stylish way, including the story, lines, and action design.
The whole thing feels cold, hard, and sharp, with the disappearing martial arts environment and the little characters who are moved by love and risk their lives..."

Zhang Yang's praise has made it clear what he means. He is very interested in this film winning the Best Director Award.

Xu Qing nodded in agreement without saying anything. Xu Haofeng and her are also schoolmates, right?

Chen Deneng also nodded. Why hasn't he won a domestic film award this year? Zhang Yang, who was vaguely domestically reserved for Best Actress, didn't ask for Best Actress. Best Director was a good choice.

At this time, Florian said: "I think "The Idealist" is good. It is deep and calm, repressed and restrained, with a clear narrative and a complete story. The photography and soundtrack both highlight this feeling well. Just like "The Idealist" "Focus" is the same."

Others raised their eyebrows at his words. "Spotlight" is this year's Oscar winner for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. His metaphor is huge. But the two movies do look a bit similar.

"I don't think so. "The Idealist" is still like a documentary after all. How can it be awarded the Best Director?" Takita Yojiro retorted.

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly felt more interesting. Xiaozhi is indeed an American dog!

The movie "The Idealists" tells the story of the U.S. Air Force crash-landing in Denmark with four killer weapons, causing the crane to leak.
And a Danish reporter risked jail time to launch a news investigation that lasted for several years.
Finally, with the help of a few people, they exposed the story that the local government had lied to the people for 40 years.

As we all know, Xiaoli is the worst in the world in this regard. Their country has personally experienced the power of crane bombs, and now they actually hold objections.

Maybe he was being impartial.

"Then which movie do you think is suitable?" Dennis asked.

"I think "Master" is good." Takita Yojiro also gave an unexpected answer.

This way the overall situation was decided. After Zhang Yang presided over the voting, "Master" won the best director.

Now that only the last one for Best Picture is left, Coneliu preemptively said: "I think "The Gang" is the most suitable for this award.

The ideal of righteous governance encounters the cruelty of reality, but it has never been able to elevate personal problems to the contradictions of social reality.

But a gesture must be made. Even if no one can accept it except yourself. This movie is poignant and powerful. "

Xu Qing subconsciously wanted to refute, but for a moment she felt that what Coneliu said made sense. In this case, she subconsciously looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was in a daze at this time, and he found that the awards he gave to domestic films seemed to be less.

Director Zhang told him that he could be given two, but he only gave one. What a loss of blood!

So he can compete for the highest award without bringing it up?
Zhang Yang did what he thought of, so he directly asked Coneliu: "What did you just say? Say it again." As soon as Zhang Yang said what he said, everyone looked at him. We don't care if we speak well, but we still want to Shall we say it again?
Well, you are the chairman and you are awesome, so Coneliu said it again.

"Absurd." Zhang Yang said to Shen Sheng.

"The movie "Gangs" is very conceited in erasing women's human desires and retaining only the symbol of a middle-class female intellectual who resists patriarchy.

There are many more effective ways to discuss politics, human rights or law. Why use movies to write an essay? "Zhang Yang said righteously.

After Xu Qing heard Zhang Yang's words, she immediately felt that the thoughts that had been shaken by Keneliu just now came back. She looked at Zhang Yang with a pair of beautiful eyes. This junior brother is very masculine!
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have really wanted to applaud Zhang Yang, or applaud with him for love.

After Zhang Yang refuted Ke Neiliu, he immediately expressed his attitude: "I think "Master" is good. The camera is very expressive, the martial arts is neat, and the literary drama has a good charm."

This time Takita Yojiro immediately retorted to Zhang Yang: "It's okay to have martial arts action scenes as the core, but the dialogue between the characters in this movie is too perfunctory, and the scenes are completely driven by the plot.

Director Zhang Yang, you said that the essence of a movie is to tell a story, but this story is obviously not told well enough. "

This time his words were unanimously approved by foreign friends.

"Then let's vote!" Florian suggested.

A quick vote ended 4 to 3, and "Gang" won.

"I don't agree, let's discuss it again." Zhang Yang immediately waved his hand and rejected the result.

Afterwards, everyone voted three more times, but several foreigners were determined to do so. They wanted to arm-wrestle with Zhang Yangban, but they didn't want him to get his way.

Xu Qing raised her hand and looked at the time. It was already three-thirty. Everyone was thirsty, so she suggested with a charming smile: "Everyone, take a rest first and adjust your condition."

Zhang Yang nodded indifferently after hearing Xu Qing's suggestion, so the seven of them drank tea and went to the bathroom.

Zhang Yang sat motionless in the main seat and tapped his left index finger on the conference table.

"Director Zhang, how about we each take a step back. As long as "Gang" doesn't win, it's fine. "Minefield" and "Idealist" are both fine." Chen Deneng suddenly suggested to Zhang Yang.

At this time, there were only three domestic people left in the conference room, and everyone else had gone out.

"Yeah, I can't accept the movie "Gang", and I don't know who translated the name of the movie. It has nothing to do with the content." Xu Qing complained.

At this time, Zhang Yang thought of the many times Director Zhang and the others had taken care of him, and it would not be good if it was really ugly.

"Then we'll have to vote twice more. It's best to let them bring it up first." Zhang Yang stopped tapping his fingers on the table and looked around the two of them.

Zhang Yangxian looked very domineering at this moment, maybe because he had not yet calmed down from the verbal battle with the heroes just now.

Chen Deneng and Xu Qing met his eyes and nodded subconsciously in agreement.

Soon after four o'clock, the voting started again, but the results remained unchanged. In a flash, it was after five o'clock, and the best picture had been competing for more than two hours, and the votes had been cast seven times.

Zhang Yang was not in a hurry at this time. He was the youngest and most energetic person present.

So he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea. After putting down the tea cup, he said calmly: "Although we have disputes, we can talk slowly and don't be in a hurry."

Everyone looked at him angrily, then Florian suggested: "Director Zhang Yang, I suddenly think that "The Idealist" is also good. This movie..."

Zhang Yang thought for a while and then said: "But it is a movie after all. As a movie, it is not very good. It just tells a true history."

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Takita Yojiro nodded in agreement: "Yes, what Director Zhang said makes sense."

Xu Qing and Chen Deneng heard Zhang Yang's speech and found out that Zhang Yang was originally optimistic about "Minefield" besides "Master".

Chen Deneng immediately said: "I watched "Minefield" and it was good. The movie is not sensational at all, but it is still very powerful."

"The perspective of this movie is indeed unique. The armistice should not be a cessation of real artillery fire, but also a cessation of artillery fire in the heart. Demining is not only about clearing the mines on the Danish seaside, but also the mines in people's hearts." Zhang Yang also spoke out.

However, Takita Yojiro retorted: "This is just a correct movie with no new ideas."

The remaining six judges all looked at him, and Zhang Yang said directly: "Then let's vote on "Landmine Field". Those who agree raise their hands."

Zhang Yanggang raised his five arms after speaking. Takita Yojiro was right about one thing. This is a politically correct movie, the subject matter has a great advantage, and it is for Europeans.

Besides, after so many rounds of voting today, Zhang Yang finally agreed. If they don't raise their hands, how long will it take?

Zhang Yang also raised his hand at this time, but Takita Yojiro did not raise his hand until the end. It was obvious that he had no interest in the movie.

However, at 6:1, he has no veto power, and all the awards for this film festival are decided on this.

"Okay, let's go over to eat. We can finally have a good sleep today." Zhang Yang stood up and said to the judges.

Everyone agreed with his words. No matter what the outcome was, it finally came out and they were relieved of their worries.

As for the consequences, don't worry about it. Zhang Yang is the one who bears the biggest blame.

Zhang Yang saw that they all looked tired, waved his hand and said boldly: "I'm treating you tonight to the starlight revolving restaurant in the hotel. We can eat while overlooking the charming scenery of the capital and cultivate our mood."
