tearjerker director

Chapter 723 Laymen watch the fun, experts watch the doorway

The Berlin International Film Festival quickly announced the [-] films shortlisted for the main competition.

As expected, there were more than eight movies related to female boxing, accounting for more than one-third of the nineteen movies.

At the same time, foreign entertainment media have also reported that the theme of the Berlin International Film Festival this year must be female boxing!

Whether it is the domestic media or the fans on the Internet, they are extremely pessimistic about the prospects of winning the awards of this year's Huaguo films at the Berlin International Film Festival, including Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful".

In North America, James Dean recommended to Li Yi, and Stern Nick, the head of the public relations company responsible for the public relations of the Berlin International Film Festival, saw the list of judges for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival. , but very optimistic.

"That's right. More than half of the jury members of this year's Berlin International Film Festival are female judges. It is true that the hot theme of this year's Berlin International Film Festival is female boxing. But you should carefully read the list of judges." Stern said with a smile.

"What? Is there something wrong with the list?" Li Yi was quite puzzled.

"Unlike the Oscars, the awards of the three major European film festivals are determined by the votes of the judges of the jury. Therefore, if you want to win an award, you only need to win more than half of the judges."

"And first of all, your compatriot Ms. He Shuhua, I believe there should be no accidents, right?" Stern Nick looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Probably not!"

"So, you have secured the crucial vote, so let's analyze the remaining judges."

"Roman Friedman, his vote is very important, because among these judges, he is not only the most famous, the most experienced, but also the one with the greatest achievements, and Roman Friedman himself is Jewish. Director, it is right for him to support "Life is Beautiful"! Therefore, these two votes are the most stable."

Li Yi nodded.

He Shuhua had already informed him of this before.

Li Yi is also more confident that he can win this vote.

Of course, it is also because Li Yi has great confidence in "Life is Beautiful" itself. It can be said that no Jewish person can remain indifferent to this movie.

However, just when Li Yi thought that Stern Nick would continue to analyze another male judge, he drew a circle on the name of another female judge on the list.

"Maggie Makdi!"

Li Yi was a little puzzled.

Because, this is an Iranian female boxing director.

Yes, because this director, the films he shoots are all related to female boxing.

This is why Li Yi was puzzled and Stern Nick would target her.

"It's weird? Director Maggie is obviously a female boxing director, so why would I still target her?" Stern Nick asked with a smile as if he had expected Li Yi's reaction a long time ago.

Li Yi nodded.

"Actually, female boxing and female boxing are also different!"

"We have checked the information. Director Maggie is actually an anti-mainstream female boxing director. She has publicly refuted those arguments that overemphasize female boxing. Her films are actually quite different from mainstream female boxing films. big difference.

She opposes female boxing that is divorced from reality. She once said that what women should pursue is equal power with men based on the real social status quo, rather than female boxing that overrides any male power. "

"Simply put, she believes this feminist extremism is detrimental to the real advancement of women in a patriarchal society."

Li Yi was confused, but anyway, he felt that what you said made sense.

In fact, Li Yi has always kept a respectful distance from these arguments about human rights.

Next, Stern Nick analyzed several other judges.

What surprised Li Yi was.

According to Stern Nick's analysis, although these people have so many female directors, in fact, the real female boxing is just a flaunt.

In fact, you might be right to say that they are all anti-pacifists.

Because everyone's interpretation of female boxing is different.

For example, there is a female director among them. According to Stern, the other party has lovers all over the world, so is this a form of female boxing?
If you want to say yes, it's okay, after all, why can men be merciful and scumbags everywhere, but women can't?
From this point of view, this is also very female boxing!
But most of the movies she made are romantic and love-loving movies. From this point of view, isn't it very unfeminine?
Li Yi can only sigh, as expected of a public relations person, this f*ck is better than a matchmaker, but you will feel that the other party's words are reasonable after hearing it.

According to Stern, the so-called female boxing theme of the Berlin International Film Festival is actually more beneficial to Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful".

Because female boxing and female boxing are also different.

Most of the literary films made by each director carry their own understanding.

Therefore, the same female boxing movie may not necessarily be liked by female boxers.

Some people like extreme feminism, others like female boxing with equality between men and women, etc., etc.

Therefore, everyone must advertise themselves as a female boxer, but in reality, it is not the case.

Even sometimes this kind of involution is even more terrifying.

As for anti-war movies, the opinions will be more unified.

So, you may not be a female boxer, but you must not be a militant!
As a result, Li Yi was almost limped by Stern, because according to what the other party said, that is, Li Yi almost won the award.

But is this possible?

The attribution of the film's awards will also be full of various uncertainties.

However, Stern said that the purpose of their public relations is to turn this uncertainty into certainty!
The cowhide is blown to the sky, but it is not known whether it is really so powerful.

However, Li Yi has no other choice. Now that he has already participated, Li Yi naturally hopes to complete his work. After all, if he doesn't get it this time, it will be really more difficult to get it later.

However, bad news soon came. "Life is Beautiful" has been working on becoming the opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival, but in the end, it failed.

What became the opening film was a film called "Midnight's Confusion" directed by Sarah Taylor, a female director in England!
Her movies also have a characteristic, that is, they are very long and the scale is very large.

However, this also benefits from the fact that Europe is still very open in this regard.

In fact, the Berlin International Film Festival is already considered good, and the Venice Film Festival is called an indulgence.

All in all, "Midnight's Confusion" is the kind of ordinary people who don't know whether art is art or not. Anyway, it is true that their faces are flushed and they are out of breath.
