You made me a superstar

Chapter 72 The Mine Bottom Premiere ([-])

Because of cultural differences, in the eyes of some Western film critics, Chinese films are not very popular.

Especially those twisted literary movies.

For example, Wang Shuai was nominated for the movie "17-year-old gift" in Cannes.

This movie is regarded as a classic in the Chinese literature and art circle. Many directors praised it after watching it. They felt that the background of the times in it was very heavy, and people couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, the word-of-mouth abroad is very mediocre, and many film critics even gave this movie a bad score of 1 star on Rotten Tomatoes.

They can't understand the thoughts and behaviors of the characters, let alone what the directors hope to show or express from the characters and stories, or even the tear-jerking part of the plot. They have watched it several times, but still can't understand.

They only think that the actor is very noisy, suddenly angry, suddenly crying, and then suddenly reconciled...

Noisy and noisy, the movie ended inexplicably.

They were bewildered.

It was a sense of cultural fragmentation.

"The Gift of 17" was nominated at Cannes but didn't win, losing out to an anti-war film called "Gorvia."

The reason for the general environment, after all, in 03, a senior leader of Laomei took a bag of washing powder in full view and led a group of chewing gum soldiers into a country looking for contraband. The soldiers found more than 40 After several days, I finally found a lot of cans that can hold discarded chewing gum, and happily announced the end of the "special mission".

Many filmmakers dared not speak up at the time, but half a year after the incident, they finally used the form of a movie to criticize this "Special Operation Laundry Powder".

Cannes film people raved about "Golvia", thinking that it is a kind of spirit, and the film "17-year-old gift" is too far behind.

As the film critic of "Screen", Glein was assigned by the company to the screening hall of "Mine Bottom".

After the little girl heard the news yesterday, she felt very wronged. She had been to Cannes a few years ago, and happened to watch the "17-Year-Old Gift", which made her very confused.

Say something!

She really can't bear those messy Chinese literary movies.

She applied to the company to come to Berlin because of the film "Particle Technology" by German director Basil.

No matter how bad it is, I hope to go to the No. 12 screening hall, and watch the French romantic movie "Pirate", right?

result!

I was assigned to "Warring States" a few days ago!
Came out dazed after watching the movie foolishly, feeling like I'd watched a piece of shit that was wrapped in an extraordinarily gorgeous package.

What's even more speechless is that the company's leaders require you to find a way to blow this shit, no matter how bad you are, you can't scold the movie during the screening, you have to hold down the manuscript, and then scold after the movie is over.

FUCK!

Probably, that Huaxia director stuffed money into the company again.

In fact, this situation is quite normal. Apart from winning prizes, everyone who comes to Berlin is trying to find ways to sell films. Naturally, many media outlets have to prepare in advance. Berlin still has the status of a special guest, and more or less face is to be given to Berlin.

This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable, a feeling of being oppressed by capitalism, this feeling has not subsided, and today the company assigned her to the movie "Mine Bottom".

Ok!

It was another movie produced by the same company, and the little girl suddenly felt that she had nothing to love.

When he came to the entrance of the No. 6 screening hall, Glein felt weak while holding the microphone, as if he was carrying a one-hundred-jin burden.

This state continued until she saw the "welcome bear" at the door.

The bear that welcomes guests is really cute!
Standing there stupidly holding a sign, looking at everyone with blank eyes, coupled with that sincere and handsome face with bear ears, it is so cute that people want to touch it!
When he was about to enter the screening hall, Glein realized that the "welcome bear" turned out to be the director of the film.

Ok!

No matter how bad your movie is today, for the sake of the group photo, I will scold you lightly.

Glein bit the pen cutely, made this decision silently, and then walked into the screening room.

The moment you walk into the theater...

She was stunned!

The empty scene she had imagined did not appear, and she even realized that she might not have a place to sit...

Then he looked at the people in the back row, and when he saw Charlotte Sally, Glenn suddenly realized that this movie might be completely different from the Chinese movies he had watched in the past!
There was no speech at the premiere, and no bells and whistles before the premiere of other films. The premiere of "Mine Bottom" began as soon as the little girl sat down.

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

"The lens is too bad."

"The lighting is messy."

"The stability of the picture is too bad."

"..."

The movie premiere begins.

When the camera slowly landed on a mine, Zhou Yilin's face was very ugly.

His first impression of the movie was poor.

Zhou Yilin, who has extremely high requirements for the aesthetics of the camera, simply cannot accept that the opening of a film is so bad, and what is even more unacceptable is that such a bad film was nominated for Berlin.

It's ridiculous.

The beginning of the movie made Zhou Yilin feel that the movie was shot very blandly, as if it was shot with a DV machine, and it was not shot normally, but like a movie secretly sneaked into a private coal mine.

"The picture is too artless!"

Zhou Yilin's face turned ugly again, as if something was choked in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out no matter how hard he tried.

He saw waves of dust from the construction trucks coming and going. The workers did not even wear masks, shuttling around in the dust. There were low and dilapidated coal houses, and even the slop bucket was full of messy vegetables and leaves. I feel nauseous through the screen, and under the lens, you can even see the dust on the DV player, no matter how you wipe it, you can’t clean it, oh no, it’s on the camera.

Finally, after the camera cleared up a bit, Zhou Yilin saw a few migrant workers who were smoking with each other in the camera. They spoke a dialect, their eyes were dull, and they were full of the simple temperament of old farmers in the Northwest.

Zhou Yilin can only use two words to describe it, that is old fashioned!

Dirty character backgrounds, so-called original ecological performances, natural sound effects with noise, rural dialects that are too obscure to understand...

Before 00, some lovers of literary and artistic films overseas liked this set, but with the emergence of a large number of such pictures, this type of film gradually became a third-rate work overseas. After participating in several exhibitions but not being selected, Since 03, there have been very few directors in Huaxia playing this trick.

Zhou Yilin wanted to stand up and leave.

But thinking of his own identity, he still sat patiently and watched carefully.

The jittering camera gradually zooms into the "cage" where three people go down the well. In the narrow and claustrophobic depths of the well, Zhou Yilin uses a long shot technique that makes Zhou Yilin even more sneer...

"I want to use a long shot to show off my skills to prove that this is a movie and not a DV film, but the way of showing off my skills is really unprofessional..."

Like a video made by a child with a garbage camera.

Zhou Yilin became speechless the more he watched.

Looking at the long lens slowly deepening, what is it trying to express?
Almost 30 seconds of normal shooting time was wasted, how many stories can be inserted in these 30 seconds!

"Seeing this long shot for the second time, I still feel amazing!"

"This is a hint that these three people have begun to go deep into hell. Every camera shake and the obscurity of the light represent unwillingness..."

"At the same time, it also implies that in the dark and profound world, the light represented by the law has gradually disappeared, and humanity has been shrouded in darkness, and it has begun to be gradually wiped out!"

"This is a rare art of photography!"

"..."

Zhou Yilin heard a burst of emotion.

He turned his head subconsciously.

I saw the chairman, Charlotte Sally, staring at the screen and muttering to herself in English...

After mumbling to herself, she looked at a bald film dealer next to her.

"Mr. Zhuo Fulin, this movie is actually very suitable for watching for the second time. Every time you watch the movie, you can see different tastes from the movie. However, I hope you will have a certain appreciation for what happened next. Mentally prepare!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yilin was stunned!
