tearjerker director

Chapter 722 The judging panel of Yin and Yang, pessimistic fans

Arezzo, Italy.

The filming of "Life is Beautiful" here was very smooth with the help of Jill Toledo, a rich second-generation Italian.

Of course, it’s no better than filming “Cinema Paradise” in Sicily. After all, Berto Manning was the one who helped at that time.

It is not easy for Li Yi to find Berto Manning in "Life is Beautiful". After all, the target of "Life is Beautiful" is not the Venice Film Festival, but the Berlin International Film Festival.

The progress of filming was very smooth.

On the one hand, it is also because of a feature film like "Life is Beautiful", it is indeed not too difficult to shoot.

The hardest aspect is the actors.

As a result, Carl Greenberg and his son starred in a father-son show that was almost a true performance.

Carl Greenberg himself trained his son's acting skills, which complemented each other.

Moreover, Li Yi also knows that Carl Greenberg and his son often play some special games when they get along.

It fits well with the plot.

In fact, the shooting of the Arezzo area in Tuscany, Italy is almost completed.

Today is the last day, and tomorrow we will transfer to the studio of Dean Films in North America to complete the subsequent shooting.

At the same time, today the film crew will also welcome visits from several domestic cooperative media, and Li Yi will also accept interviews from several domestic media.

There are five media outlets here, namely CCTV Six Princess Channel from Mainland China, Movie Weekly, Penguin Entertainment, Cool Cat Entertainment, and Hong Kong Island TV from Hong Kong Island.

Most of the people who came were Li Yi's old acquaintances.

The questions asked are also more conventional.

The interview ended with a pleasant conversation.

That night, Li Yi and the entire crew flew to North America to complete the follow-up filming.

At this time, Yi Fei had just gotten off the plane.

When Yi Fei arrived in Arezzo, the place was already empty.

And domestic calls came again, CCTV Six Princess Channel, Penguin Entertainment and many other media reported the news about the visit to the crew of "Life is Beautiful".

Yi Fei almost cried to death!
But at this time, that "friend" in North America actually knew about Li Yi and his crew's return to North America.

Called him specifically.

"Old Yi, why are you so slow? How long has it been since you went to Italy? Everyone has gone back to North America to shoot. This time I will send you a free message that "Life is Beautiful" will be released next."

But Yi Fei hung up the phone immediately.

He didn't believe it any more.

Difficult, really too difficult!
I want to cry without tears!
He especially wanted to ask that old friend in North America, what the hell do you think is going abroad so easy?

Don't need a visa?
Do you think I am in Italy, and then transfer to North America, do you mean that you can transfer just by transferring?
Don't you need banknotes to go to North America?
Yi Fei has completely given up!Of course, the main reason is that the strength does not allow it!
During this media visit, Li Yi revealed a lot of relevant information.

For example, why did you think of making such a movie.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Yi to tell the real reason. After all, he can't say that he has cheats, can he?

However, Li Yi also prepared a set of rhetoric very early.

Like "Paradise Cinema", he directly applied the source of inspiration for this movie, saying that he once met a foreigner and heard him talk about the past that Jews dare not recall.

Anyway, when he said this kind of thing, he listened to it. As for who said it, there must be such a person anyway.

"Paradise Cinema" proved that Li Yi can make foreign films, and foreign films can also be easily captured. Therefore, no one doubts whether Li Yi can make this kind of foreign films well.

Time passes day by day.

With the arrival of the new year, the opening time of the Berlin International Film Festival is getting closer.

Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful" has also been officially completed more than a month ago, catching up with the final deadline of the Berlin International Film Festival.

And soon, the Berlin International Film Festival also officially announced the list of jury members for the main competition unit of this Berlin International Film Festival.

Usually the Cannes International Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival, and Berlin International Film Festival are the list of jury members of the three major European film festivals. In fact, domestic movie fans are at most looking to see if there are any familiar Huaguo faces.

As for the foreign judges, in fact, very few people paid attention to them.

But this year is different.

The main reason is that since this year is known as the Year of Huaguo at the Berlin International Film Festival, the famous actress He Shuhua from Huaguo served as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival, and then there are five major directors from Huaguo, including Xue Kaishan. A director who brought his new film to participate in the competition for the Golden Bear Award.

Later, Li Yi, a popular fried chicken director in China, wants to hit No.1 in the world film history grand slam, so, naturally, movie fans can't help but pay more attention to the list of jury members of this year's Berlin International Film Festival .

First of all, He Shuhua served as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, which was confirmed before.

However, the composition of the jury members of the main competition unit of this year's Berlin International Film Festival made the domestic netizens who expected Li Yi to achieve the No.1 grand slam feat in the film industry to lament.

why?
Because in the list of jury members, apart from He Shuhua, the chairman of the jury that has been announced before, the remaining six producers, directors, and actors from different countries will jointly be responsible for the award selection work of this film festival.

And among the remaining six judges, there were actually four female judges.

The entire jury lineup unexpectedly has five female judges, and then think of the themes that the Berlin International Film Festival focuses on this year, which are anti-war and female boxing.

Immediately, many movie fans were heartbroken.

In fact, it's not just domestic movie fans who are upset, Li Yi himself smiled wryly after seeing the list of members of the jury.

The yin is prosperous and the yang is weak. Female judges are overwhelmingly more than male judges. This is actually a very clear weather vane.

Female boxing films must be the focus of this year's Berlin International Film Festival.

"It's over. Other film festivals can still ignore the influence of Zhengzhi, but the Berlin International Film Festival, the favorite is Zhengzhi-biased movies. These seven judges, five female judges, need to say more?"

"Who said no? Wait for the announcement of the follow-up main competition unit list. Believe it or not, female boxing movies will occupy the majority?"

"Director Dog is really cool!"

"Director Dog, pet the dog's head, don't cry, not this time, come again next time!"

"Why don't Director Dog change to another film festival, this one really won't work."

In fact, it's not just movie fans who are pessimistic, the domestic film industry is also generally pessimistic about Li Yi's first grand slam journey.

There is no way, this is the Berlin International Film Festival, and their main focus is "preferring politics and admiring newcomers".

And female boxing must be the theme of this year.

Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful" has nothing to do with female boxing.

If you want to use such a movie to hit the awards, the hope is too slim.
