You made me a superstar

Chapter 52 Elimination
At the 56th Berlin International Film Festival, Charlotte Seri served as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit.

She is a British actor who often wears a black dress to attend various occasions. Although she is almost 60 years old, she still has a trace of charm when she walks.

There is a film appreciation course in Yan Film Academy, in which there are many kinds of movies, but whether they are domestic or foreign, whether they have been released or banned underground, they will be shown as internal appreciation textbooks.

Among them, Charlotte Sally's "The Little Tailor" is a movie that every student cannot avoid.

The movie "The Little Tailor" tells the story of civilians living in hell in the dilapidated ruins of Germany after World War II. The core of the story is post-war reflection. A very classic anti-war movie.

This movie was a sensation when it was released. Not only did it shine at the [-]th Berlin International Film Festival, but it also made the young and beautiful Charlotte Sely on the stage of an era, not only amazed everyone present at that time with her beauty She won the well-deserved best actress of the year by winning the award of the best actress that year!

Some felt that was the pinnacle of her life.

But no one could have imagined that that was just the beginning.

Since then...

Charlotte Sally, like the heavens chasing food, has successively filmed movies such as "Peace and War", "Assassin", "Navigator" and other box office hits, and once swept the 60s to 80s The three major international film festivals in Europe have amazed an entire era...

Since then, he has been silent for more than ten years due to family problems, and no longer participates in major film festivals. Even invitations to awards are based on busy housework, and he declines all activities related to movies, and even lives in seclusion. The paparazzi can't see it.

Many filmmakers feel sorry.

But in my heart, I feel that maybe this is the best ending. At the best age, leaving the most beautiful back in the film industry is better than a hero who is old and a beauty with a white head!
For 20 years, the sea has changed.

Just after many young people no longer remembered this youthful woman, a movie suddenly brought her into the public eye again...

The movie is called Gunfire.

The film was shortlisted for the 72nd Academy Awards, and Charlotte Sallie was nominated for Best Actress in an Oscar...

When she appeared at the awards ceremony in an evening gown, there was a sensation at the scene, and many people stood up to pay their respects. James Bond, the king of horror in Hollywood, even kissed his hand excitedly, like a child...

No one could have dreamed that the always amiable old lady who was actually the biggest boss in the whole movie was actually played by Charlotte Sally.

..............................

February tenth.

"There are a lot of Chinese films that have signed up for this year..."

Sunny afternoon.

In the office, Charlotte Sally received many calls from Huaxia.

After answering the phone, her emotions were a little complicated.

She opened last year's Berlin International Film Festival entry films.

She discovered that a total of ten Chinese films signed up for the exhibition last year, and three films were nominated, but none of the Chinese films were seen in the final awards.

The films that signed up for this year's exhibition are even more exaggerated!

From last year's ten movies directly to twenty movies, it doubled directly...

These Huaxia directors probably think that the more films they apply for, the more nominations they can get, and the higher the probability of winning the award, right?
As long as it is a big-investment film that is slightly related to literature and art, it will be stuffed into the film festival. Even carrying gifts in person, bringing some heavyweight actors to visit...

For a time, she felt that these Huaxia directors were a little dazed!

But then, he smiled helplessly.

In fact, not only the Huaxia group of directors did this, many other directors did this, even in more exaggerated forms.

For a moment...

Charlotte Sally felt an indescribable sense of disappointment again.

She felt that she didn't know when the Berlin International Film Festival began to change.

From the beginning, the awards were purely for the selection of films, and gradually began to become "human" awards, and the number of nominees for the Berlin International Film Festival has even become a "trade".

She even felt that many people around her were using various methods to erode the authority of the Berlin International Film Festival.

But rather...

She is powerless to change the status quo.

"toot toot"

Her phone rang.

She answered the phone subconsciously.

"Dear Zhou, have you arrived in Berlin today?"

"..."

"Okay, um... Dinner is unnecessary, I have a meeting later... To tell you the truth, I hope our friendship is not mixed with other factors..."

"..."

"Of course, I will give priority to discussing the "Warring States" project at the meeting... "The Warring States" project, I will be ranked first!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte Saili silently opened the copy of "Warring States" and read it carefully...

..............................

The Spring Festival file in 06 is the domestic film protection month.

Foreign blockbusters are not allowed to enter, and basically all domestic films are fighting on the field.

In the past, Chinese New Year films were full of blockbusters, but since "Tianji" and other movies in the second half of 05 collapsed in both box office and word of mouth, the entire Spring Festival in 06 seemed gloomy.

They are all basically half-comedy, half-rural Chinese New Year movies such as "Going to Liangshan Alone", "The Second Under Heaven", and "Village Official's New Year".

Of course, the box office of Lunar New Year movies with veteran comedians Fan Yi and Zhang Bende is not bad. Basically, they broke 700 million yuan on the same day. million box office!
The overall quality of the film is not too bad. After entering the cinema, the audience can also be amused and laugh a few times by a few burdens.

However, after watching the movie, let you recall what the plot in the movie is...

Many people don't even remember!

Especially the movie "Village Official's Chinese New Year", the only thing they remember is that the first half of the movie is really funny, and the second half suddenly has a large provocative clip. end in.

Special!

And more than one movie ended with dumplings in this way, and the comedy martial arts movie called "The Second Under Heaven" also made dumplings.

Not to mention disappointed...

Just some regrets.

Without the ravages of foreign blockbusters, although the box office of domestic films and the income of filmmakers are protected, at least they can have a good year, but audiences always feel that there is something missing.

Instead, they became interested in the next few movies from mid-February to March.

For the two films "Hero" and "Warring States", Shen Changwei, director of the Five Dynasties, shot the previous film for two years, and even spent a huge sum of [-] million to build a Qin Wangcheng for this film!The latter one is the film "Warring States" filmed by Zhou Yilin, the commercial director of the Five Generations, and a group of big names...

The publicity of "Warring States" and "Heroes" is almost overwhelming, even worse than the previous "Tianji"!

The shadows of these two movies are everywhere on the subway station, major TV variety shows, sideshow advertisements in major theaters, scandals and hot searches among various celebrities.

The relevant departments turned a blind eye and even relaxed some conditions in a very abnormal way.

The situation of Huaxia Film is not good.

The failure of "Tianji" has hit the morale of domestic blockbusters. Although there are no Hollywood directors mocking domestic blockbusters, Chinese movie fans are more or less disappointed. You can see self-mockery and discouragement aimed at our Chinese movies everywhere on the Internet. In other words, many people are even scolding the leaders of relevant departments, thinking that they are blind and supporting some rubbish...

The leaders of Huaxia are also under pressure. They feel that there is no honor on their faces, and they urgently need a few movies to restore blood and save face...

"The day of the domestic film's expedition!"

"Twenty domestic films have officially landed in Berlin!"

"This year is the most promising year for domestic films, a breakthrough in historical character!"

"The reason why I set "Warring States" in March is not for other reasons, but to compete with the movie "Pirate" directed by Hollywood Pitt. We are old rivals. At the same time, at the Berlin International Film Festival, I will Will meet Pete!"

"..."

"..."

In addition to the overwhelming publicity, the Berlin International Film Festival is also a direction for domestic film promotion.

Whether it's Zhou Yilin or Shen Changwei, both of them are rushing to build momentum for the Berlin International Film Festival, waiting for the announcement of the finalists.

By comparison...

"Mine Bottom" is very humble, there is no big celebrity publicity, and there is no promotional content. No one knows what kind of movie it is, and no one will care what kind of movie it is.

Many people just glanced at the registration list, and then discovered Zhou Yang, a strange newcomer director.

Then?

No then.

Every year, many new directors sign up for Berlin beyond their means. It is impossible for them to pay attention to every one of them, right?
........................

Zhou Yang didn't care about these.

For him, "Mine Bottom" is just a not-so-long journey, and he has completed everything in this journey and got off the bus.

As for the future ending, Zhou Yang didn't care.

There are many things beyond your control, the more hopeful you are, the greater the hope in the end.

The original time and space "Blind Well" actually won the award, this time and space...

There are too many competitors, and all kinds of human feelings and sophistication are mixed in, all of them are red-eyed, and it is difficult for anyone to say anything.

After the meeting that day, Zhou Yang agreed to Wang Shuai's invitation and joined the crew of "The Crow".

However, he didn't immediately pack up and join the group, but still stayed in the company, busy working on the album "Girl Waving Wings"!
The album is set to be released on February [-]th.

Time is running out.

For this album, Wu Zhenhong dragged Zhou Yang into the recording studio to test songs every day, torturing Jiang Shushu over and over again!
But there is no doubt that Jiang Shushu is a lucky one.

In order to open up the situation in the music industry, Huaxing Company naturally spent a lot of money to make an album for her, and even spent money to buy some sailors on the Internet to cooperate with the hype...

..............................

February [-]th.

On the eve of the release of the movie "Youth", there was a knock on the door in An Xiao's office.

Then, Zhong Tingting, her new assistant recruited last month, had red eyes and lowered her head, as if she had been greatly wronged, she ran in in a panic.

"Boss An, something happened."

"what happened?"

"Manager Xu smashed the computer in the editing room, scolded everyone, and threatened to beat Zhou Yang. Now he is driving in the direction of the recording studio. We can't stop him..."

"What!" After hearing the news, An Xiao stood up instantly, her expression changed drastically!
Just at this time……

Her cell phone rang.

She picked up the phone subconsciously.

""Warring States", the first round of review was eliminated by Berlin..."
