She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"On the evening of February 2th, local time, the Chinese crew of the internationally anticipated film "The Rose Thorn" landed in Berlin. The film's leading actress Nicole Su appeared at the airport in a white coat, smiling brightly and waving to fans in a great mood..."

Xie Jiali carefully read the title and content of the tabloid and was about to turn the page to continue reading, but she found that the content of the next page had turned into Hollywood gossip.

What a crappy newspaper, it only gave a small corner to Nicole's news...

Xie Jiali put away the newspaper in a depressed mood, and felt that her mood had become as gloomy and dark as the foggy weather in London today.

Humph, don’t look down on the poor youngsters. When Nicole becomes famous all over the world, those paparazzi won’t be able to take pictures of her even if they want to!

"Oh, it looks like the rain will continue for half a day. I can't go out shopping tonight." Zhang Kexin sighed and lay back on the bed. "If I had known this would happen, I would have gone directly to the United States for my graduation trip so I could get familiar with the environment in advance."

Xie Jiali curled her lips, walked over and lay down next to her, "You are confident that you can get the offer, but I can't say for sure."

"No way, you will definitely get the offer as you wish."

"I hope so." Xie Jiali shrugged, not very interested in this old topic. "Well, it's a rare opportunity for us to go out and play, let's not talk about this topic anymore."

"There's nothing to do in the hotel anyway, so how about... we watch the red carpet live broadcast of this year's Berlin Film Festival together? I brought my iPad."

Zhang Kexin agreed without hesitation: "Sure, when does the opening ceremony start?"

"It seems to be five o'clock? It will start in half an hour." Before she finished speaking, Xie Jiali turned over and got out of bed, taking out the iPad from the suitcase.

While waiting for the iPad to charge, the two of them lay together and browsed their phones in tacit understanding.

The three major European film festivals have always received a lot of attention in China. They will appear on the hot searches as soon as the list of shortlisted films is announced, and will appear on the hot searches several times again during the opening and closing ceremonies.

This year, because there are Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition unit, the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival has received more attention in the domestic entertainment industry than in previous years. Ever since the news of the nomination came out, various speculations and predictions from the outside media have never stopped.

Netizens did not care much about the Golden Bear Award, the highest award, for which no Chinese were nominated. In comparison, everyone's attention was more focused on the crew of "The Rose Thorn", which was nominated for the Silver Bear Award.

Before the Berlin Film Festival shortlist was announced, even though "Red Careerist" was a huge success in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, there were always people who used the fact that the film had equal roles to deliberately erase the role played by Su Lingxi in the film. They claimed that the box office was all carried by Shen Man, and that Su Lingxi was just following behind to get some box office bonuses. They are the same kind of traffic stars who have no acting skills but still follow big names to get some box office bonuses.

After the shortlist was announced, this group of people were quiet for a few days, and soon they changed their rhetoric: What's so difficult about being shortlisted for the main competition? Ruan Tang's qualifications are there, and it would only take a few minutes to get her a nomination. In the end, the result was the same as at the Tokyo Film Festival, where they went there for nothing.

You can't even get a general A award, and you still want to win the three major ones? You really have high aspirations but a weak destiny.

There is no doubt that such statements naturally aroused public anger among fans.

Lingsi was holding her breath as she fought back angrily - you said that other people carried the box office for Pingfan's film, and you said that the nominations for the three major film festivals were just the company's nominations, but what if Sister Su won the Silver Bear Award for Best Lead Actor? These people can't have the nerve to complain here, right?

Fans like Xie Jiali and Zhang Kexin are having the same thought now. They hope that Su Lingxi can really win the award, but they dare not say it on social platforms for fear that the real person will be ridiculed.

For the media at home and abroad, this incident is obviously a topic that makes people want to discuss.

You know, the last time a Chinese film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival was three years ago.

At that time, the Berlin Film Festival awards had not yet been revised. The Best Actor and Best Actress awards were not merged into the Best Actor Award, and the same was true for the Supporting Actor Award.

After the award changed, it is undoubtedly more difficult for actors to win awards - if they want to win the Best Actor Award, they need to compete with the leading actors and actresses in various films, regardless of gender.

Dozens of outstanding actors compete together, but there can only be one winner in the end, which shows how fierce the competition is.

"The last Chinese film to be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival's main competition unit was Tonight. I remember that the champagne-colored long dress that Xu Tingyun wore was particularly eye-catching on the red carpet. It was so beautiful that I wanted to take a screenshot to save that scene." Chen Yalin hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes. "Even after several years, I can still recall that scene very clearly."

Lin Hua sat up straight and poured her a small cup of fruit tea. "Yeah, it's a pity that the competitors were too strong that year, and Tonight didn't win any awards."

"It doesn't matter. Xu Tingyun had already won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award before that. It's unlikely that a foreigner would win the award twice."

"That's what she said, but... is she basically retired now?" Lin Hua gathered his sleeves. "I haven't seen any works starring her in the past two years, and when she occasionally appears, it's just a cameo."

Chen Yalin sighed, "Maybe, but she is only 40 years old this year and has enough talent. I actually think she should try harder."

"The market for female-themed films has opened up a lot in the past two years, which is an advantage for actors like her."

The direction of the topic was obviously a bit heavy. Lin Hua glanced at his friend's slightly downward-turned mouth and carefully changed the subject.

"Do you think The Rose Thorn has a chance to win an award this year?"

"It's hard to say. I think it's about 50-50." Chen Yalin hesitated for a moment and added, "Berlin has always been the country that emphasizes egalitarianism. There have been many women on the award lists in recent years. But the cast of the German feature film this year is also very strong. The film directed by Andrea Driessen won the Golden Bear Award two years ago. The people in Berlin clearly favor him."

At the same time, the gossip sections in various apps were discussing this question - is it possible for Su Lingxi to win the Silver Bear Award for "The Rose Thorn" and become the first Berlin Film Festival actress after the award change?

Because most of the films on the shortlist will have their world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, audiences have no way of judging the content and can only analyze based on past experience.

While various predictions are in full swing, the capital of Germany, far away in the northern hemisphere of the blue planet, is about to officially kick off the opening ceremony of the 72nd Berlin Film Festival.
