This actor just wants to verify

In fact, there are not many people worth saying hello to who can give Hao Yun the attributes this year.

No matter how far-fetched the cliché film festival reporting phrase "star-studded the red carpet" is, it really doesn't fit Berlin.

There were not so many greetings to say, and festival chairman Dieter Koslick was very leisurely. He even had time to take the actresses who were in urgent need of convenience to look for the restroom.

"I didn't expect you to make such a movie. Someone once told me that your movie might be made by a teacher. I insist that this kind of statement is very clumsy and ridiculous..."

Dieter Koslik is a gentle and lovely old man.

Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi to get to know him.

Dieter Koslick praised Hao Yun's new movie and An Xiaoxi's beauty.

"I never stop learning and I promise to give the Berlin Film Festival more surprises next time."

Hao Yun actually plans to exhibit "Little Forest" and "Bullfighting" at international film festivals. Whether they can win awards or not is not important. What is important is that they can make money in this way.

Especially "Bullfighting", since Zheng Zhi is right and international, why can't he bring what Neon does to the world cultural stage in the form of a movie.

Jiang Wen's "The Japanese Are Coming" and Hao Yun's "Bullfighting" will both undertake such a mission.

However, Hao Yun will definitely wait until it is reviewed before taking it to the exhibition.

"Haha, I just like confident young people." Dieter Koslik smiled from ear to ear. Since he took office in 2002, he has been a filmmaker who prefers Chinese culture.

"It's great to have you at the Berlin Film Festival!" Hao Yun hugged the other party again.

I agreed to the other party’s proposal to open a Chinese film culture exchange salon. At that time, some Chinese filmmakers, as well as foreign filmmakers and media interested in Chinese films would participate.

Hao Yunhui is the leader.

As for why Chen Kaige, a "grandmaster" level director, was not allowed to take the lead, it was naturally because Dieter Koslik knew a lot about Chen Kaige and knew that this great master was not a good communication partner.

On the contrary, it was Hao Yun who was praised highly by everyone who had interacted with him.

Hao Yun came so many days in advance, not only to attend the premiere, but also to attend various film activities.

Naturally, we will not shirk this "heavy responsibility".

The two talked about the reason why the Berlin Film Festival was so deserted this time - the Berlin Film Festival happened to be sandwiched between the announcement of Oscar nominations and the awards show, so it would be strange if it was not deserted.

It’s not Berlin’s problem or the film festival’s problem. Everyone wants to come, but the time is right.

"I heard that your movie has also been nominated for the Oscars. Don't you plan to go to Los Angeles to canvass for your movie?" Dieter Koslick asked curiously.

"Breaking Drummer" was nominated for the Academy Award. That was Dong Ping's operation.

Strictly speaking, it is a kind of reciprocal revenge.

"The Promise" was originally rumored to be screened but not to participate in the awards, but Chen Kaige later decided to participate in the awards.

Many people believe that this is a suppression of Hao Yun.

Even Dong Ping thought so.

Therefore, he submitted "Cracking Drummer" to the Oscars, intending to expand the stage of competition with "The Promise".

Fight for Berlin, then fight for Oscar.

As long as he wins any game, Chen Kaige, an old guy, can be disgraced.

Hao Yun didn't have even the slightest hope that "Breaking Drummer" would win an Oscar, so he had no intention of canvassing for votes.

Of course, he would not say that his film is hopeless, but said sincerely: "My journey to international film festivals started in Berlin. There is no reason to abandon the Berlin Film Festival and focus on the Oscars, which have no emotions. "

Dieter Koslik suddenly burst into tears.

This year, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are currently in Berlin due to personal matters. The film festival had planned to temporarily add a "Special Charity Award" to the "Berlin Camera Awards" to lure the two big stars into the trap, but in the end it failed. Return with success.

When Hao Yun compared with them, he immediately looked particularly cute.

No, we must ensure that Hao Yun can win the prize!

The Film Festival Bamboo Mat and the Jury Bamboo Mat are not the same thing, but the Film Festival Bamboo Mat does not have no influence on the Jury.

"Actually, there should be three Chinese films entering the main competition this time. In addition to your film, there are also "The Promise" and "Isabella", but "Isabella" seems to have canceled its application." Dieter Koslik said.

"Isabella" is a drama film directed by Peng Haoxiang and starring Sha Qiang, Liang Luoshi and Huang Qiusheng.

They were originally going to attend the Berlin Film Festival, but saw Hao Yun and Chen Kaige using the Berlin Film Festival as a battlefield.

Well, two mad dogs were biting there.

Are you joining in or taking a detour?

After weighing it up, I neither felt that I could beat Hao Yun, who had won the best screenplay in Cannes, nor that I could beat Chen Kaige, who was a regular at European film festivals, so I simply moved to the Cannes Film Festival.

"I heard that "The Promise" was returned?" Hao Yun really didn't mean to gossip.

But the news is still relatively secret for the time being, and only a few people know about it. If it is really exposed, it will definitely exacerbate the reputation crisis of "The Promise".

The reputation was so bad that it was returned by the Weinstein Brothers, the overseas publisher it had negotiated with. You can only imagine how bad it really was.

It's not that Chinese audiences are of poor quality and not qualified to watch Chen Kaige's movies, but that people all over the world can't understand them.

"It is true," Dieter Koslik lowered his voice and said, "But the next buyer has been found. Warner Independent Films, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. that has been established for more than a year, has bought the North American and German distribution rights. The film was re-edited to 103 minutes, 19 minutes shorter than the version released in your country. This "short version" will be shown in Berlin this time."

Hao Yun immediately felt happy.

After the premiere, Hao Yun also accepted an exclusive interview with Deutsche Welle.

He spoke in German throughout the conversation, which was very fluent and meaningful. The next day, the media praised Hao Yun in all aspects.

He called him a film genius from China and the future of Chinese film culture.

Many people are looking forward to the premiere of his new film.

The next few days were all about attending premieres and salons. He and Chen Kaige were both in Berlin during the film festival, but Hao Yun was getting better and better, while Chen Kaige was getting more and more depressed.

Because, not many people understand him.

On February 12, The Promise had its European premiere at the film festival.

At about 3:30 p.m., Hao Yun appeared on the premiere red carpet in front of the Potsdamer Platz Cinema.

This time he did not bring An Xiaoxi with him.

An Xiaoxi stayed in the hotel to rest.

She had already seen The Promise and it gave her a headache, so she did not want to suffer again.

Only Hao Yun, even if Chen Kaige was petty and always mocked him, he had to come to support Director Chen for the sake of being a Chinese filmmaker.

Chen Kaige thought it was unnecessary.

But since Hao Yun was here, he could not refuse him.

He could only pretend to be enthusiastic to welcome Hao Yun.

Considering that he often slandered Hao Yun in private chats, Europeans felt that this old bitch was hypocritical.

The tickets for The Promise were still selling well.

Some people held signs on Potsdam Street seeking to buy movie tickets.

In the seventh screening hall, thousands of seats were full.

Five minutes before the screening, some late reporters could not find empty seats and had to find a corner or sit in the aisle to watch.

This is a rare scene for reporters since the film festival opened on the 9th.

After the film was screened, Chen Kaige led photographer Bao Dexi, starring Sanada Hiroyuki and Jang Dong-gun to attend the press conference and answered questions from reporters and industry insiders in fluent English.

Hao Yun found that Director Chen was much more tolerant of questions raised by foreign media.

Some people questioned him in person that this movie was a bad movie, and he also smiled and said that the interpretation of art is from different angles, and different people have different aesthetic standards.

It is completely different from China. Liu Yan asked him "Will the discrepancy between the expectations of the movie and the actual situation hurt your self-esteem?" He would go crazy on the spot, and after the interview, he would ask him to come out, turn around and do other programs and bring up the matter again on the program, with a posture of never giving up.

After the official screening of the movie, Hao Yun, who had watched the domestic version, had a comparison.

He came to Chen Kaige's European premiere not only to see the joke, but also to be curious about how it was edited.

The "short version" of "The Promise" has been modified in the opening and ending credits, and most of the places that domestic audiences call "jokes" have disappeared.

For example, Wu Huan's golden thumbs up, "You made me lose the opportunity to be a good person!" "I am moved by you!"...

Other changes did not make the movie easier to understand.

The press conference was as dull as water, with a few suppressed laughs and a few applause.

Most people's expressions were dull, shocked, and unbelievable.

That's it?

Is this the level of the director of "Farewell My Concubine"?
