tearjerker director

Chapter 706 "Life is Beautiful" (Fifth update, please subscribe)
The Berlin Film Festival, where rare goods can live, must prefer to squeeze Li Yi's wool a few more times.

The problem is that Li Yi can't take the bait anymore.

"So, my chances of winning the Golden Bear Award are almost zero?" Li Yi frowned involuntarily.

"No, no, no, although the organizing committee thinks so, they can't directly influence the judges, and the award belongs to us judges." He Shuhua shook her head.

"So, the films you compete for are very important. Although the other names of the jury have not been confirmed yet, I still know a few candidates." He Shuhua said again.

"You should know the preferences of the Berlin Film Festival, right?" He Shuhua asked with a smile.

Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Some netizens in China compiled and summarized the style preferences of the three major film festivals. The Venice Film Festival is the pioneer tea party, the Cannes Film Festival is the gimmick auction house, and the Berlin Film Festival is the Zhengzhi Correctional Institution."

He Shuhua was also amused by Li Yi's three conclusions.

But if you think about it, it really is.

The first is the Venice Film Festival, an ancient and stubborn film festival whose main purpose is to improve the art of film.The Venice Film Festival has its own unique tradition: it focuses on film experimenters from various countries and encourages them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some flaws, as long as they are innovative, they can be accepted by the film festival.The purpose of the film festival is "Film Serving Serious Art". Every year, a different slogan is put forward, and the judging standard is pure: artistry.

Therefore, it is true that the Venice Film Festival is a pioneer tea party, because it is true that the films that appear at the Venice Film Festival every year are quite different and special.

The Cannes Film Festival aims to showcase and enhance the quality of films that play an important role in the development of cinema as an art.Now it has become the world's most prestigious gathering place for genius films.Strong media promotion ensures that the selected works can be promoted to the world audience immediately.

To put it simply, Cannes has gradually begun to compromise with business, and its influence has indeed increased a lot, but it has also been criticized by others, and has become the back garden of Hollywood movies.

Every year at the Cannes Film Festival, the most you can see are the advertisements of Hollywood movies.

And the amount of film transactions is increasing every year.

There is no need to say more about the Berlin Film Festival, because everyone knows that the preferences of this film festival are closely related to Zhengzhi.

"Actually, for next year's Berlin International Film Festival, it's good news for you that I serve as the chairman of the jury, but it's also bad news." He Shuhua suddenly said again.

"What did you say?" Li Yi was a little confused.

"Because as far as I know, next year's jury lineup will be dominated by women," said He Shuhua.

"LGBT?" Li Yi thought of this immediately.

But He Shuhua shook her head and said, "No!"

"LGBT is influenced by the Venice Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival have also followed suit, and directly launched a film award selection unit specifically for LGBT, and Berlin is the Teddy Bear Award unit."

"Then" Li Yi couldn't fix it again.

"Anti-war, female boxing, this is the theme of the Berlin Film Festival next year."

"However, although I am the chairman of the jury, I don't have the most say. What you need to pay attention to is director Roman Friedman. He will be the most influential judge at next year's Berlin Film Festival."

Li Yi was at a loss, because he had never heard of this person.

"Director Roman Friedman is the most explicit anti-war director. It can be said that almost all of his films in his life are anti-war themes."

"This has a lot to do with his origin and childhood experience. He was a war orphan and lived in a concentration camp for a while when he was young, and his parents, his grandparents, were all persecuted at that time. "

Hearing He Shuhua's words, a movie suddenly appeared in Li Yi's mind.

A very special movie!
However, Li Yi did not "watch" the movie immediately, but continued to listen to He Shuhua.

"Roman Friedman has won two Academy Awards for Best Director, one Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or, two Berlin Film Festival Golden Bears, and three Silver Bears," He Shuhua continued.

Li Yi's eyes widened involuntarily.

Good guy, really good guy, this is simply the most direct super director of the Berlin Film Festival.

Moreover, he is somewhat similar to Li Yi, he is short of the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

"Have you thought about it too? He is indeed the most promising person to win the Grand Slam, but he is almost seventy years old this year, and he has stopped making movies for a long time." He Shuhua said with a smile.

"So, if you can get his favor, plus me, your chances of winning the award will be greatly increased. Therefore, if you want to compete for the Golden Bear Award, you'd better choose what you like, anti-war themed movies It is the best choice. And this year's judging committee is doomed to have a large number of female boxing movies, if you also make female boxing movies, the hope is very slim." He Shuhua said again.

Li Yi nodded.

Like the Berlin Film Festival, since it is almost directly announced to the outside world, the preferences of the judges of this year's jury are inevitable, so it is inevitable to choose what they like.

As for the female boxing movie, if Li Yi goes to make it, as He Shuhua said, there is almost no hope.

Therefore, if he wants to compete for the Golden Bear Award, there is only one choice to fight against the war!

Saying goodbye to He Shuhua, after Li Yi went back, he couldn't wait to "watch" the movie that had just been remembered.

Li Yi finally understood why he remembered such a movie because of Roman Friedman's experience.

Because the name of this movie is "Life is Beautiful"!
It can be said that to a certain extent, it really is what he likes. Roman Friedman lived in a concentration camp when he was young, and his parents, grandparents, and grandparents all died at that time, but he survived, and what happened What is unknown.

However, "Life is Beautiful" can definitely poke Roman Friedman's heart.

And this is a very special movie. Although it seems to be a movie about great fatherly love, in fact, the core is still anti-war.

The theme is clear, and it can match what he likes, Li Yi can't help but feel a little bit emotional, is this a destiny in the dark?
Otherwise, why at this moment, when He Shuhua mentioned Roman Friedman, did he remember such a movie?

As for the movie in my memory, it can also be called a big killer in terms of awards!
