Chapter 363 On the eve of the awards, Ye Qin is in action
The three major film festivals in Europe are different from a certain horse, and the judges don't have to be locked in a small dark room to discuss the awards.
Judges like Ye Qin want to mingle with the media and fans, and enjoy the films of the main competition unit in the same theater, which can be regarded as "having fun with the people".
This is also the charm of the film festival, everyone is equal before the film.
But it is physical work.
从6号开幕到16号闭幕，媒体场集中在6号到14号这9天。
Except for the first day, when there was only one opening film, Ye Qin and the others would watch 2-3 films every day thereafter.
The 9-day continuous rotation is not only a large volume, but also the screening of the first competition film of the day will start at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
…………
On the 13th, I watched "Massage" the day before yesterday, and today it's the turn of "No Man's Land".
Dieter sold Ye Qin a face, as well as Yu Nan's affection. She followed Wang Quan'an in Berlin to win a lot of prizes.
"No Man's Land" is arranged in the hall of the International Cinema with 800 people.
Unlike Lou Ye, Cao Baoping and others who helped out, out of confidentiality, Ye Qin and other judges were all in a special lounge before the opening to exchange their experiences and opinions.
"The art and editing of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" are very brilliant. Behind the absurd appearance of the heritage murder lies World War I and World War II..."
Barbara Broccoli said with joy, Ye Qin glanced at Dieter, the chairman's face was slightly solemn, if it was anti-war, zz was correct, he would not have such a face.
Crucially, the movie beautifies the Jews, suggesting how innocent they are united, albeit greedy for money.
Greta Gerwig said with a smile: "I found Saoirse Ronan really good. If I have the opportunity to direct a movie, I will definitely find her as the heroine."
"Haha, it's the same as I thought, but I'm looking at another one, Léa Seydoux, I hope she will play the new Bond girl in the 007 series!" Barbara Broccoli smiled softly.
"Ahem, Ms. Barbara, I think it's about time, and it's time for us to enter."
Ye Qin glanced at his watch pretendingly, the Berlin Film Festival stipulated that the judges should enter the venue 5 minutes after the film was released, and sit in the first row.
For the same reason, PY transactions are prohibited.
…………
"No Man's Land" is a turning point for Ning Hao, and it will go downhill from now on.
The theater is darkened, and the screen is brightened.
The first scene that Ye Qin saw was the vast and desolate west, just like watching a western movie.
"Wow."
James Shams and others were in high spirits, and immediately became interested.
"Qin, is this the western part of your China?"
"No, Shams, this is a fiction. In fact, no matter how desolate a place is, China has laws to follow!"
Ye Qin immediately clarified.
The typical feature of western films is that it is a place outside the law, without the constraints of secular laws and regulations, where people are here, and order is established by force.
The kind knight enforces justice, and the evil cowboy does evil.
In the picture, Zhang San, the leader of the Northwest poaching gang, an extrajudicial lunatic, is vicious and vicious. He poached the national rare bird Altai falcon, and even killed the police with his car. He voluntarily reported the crime and surrendered himself.
Xu Shanzheng, a profit-hungry lawyer, helped Zhang San get rid of the charges by virtue of his solid legal knowledge and eloquent court defense skills.
emm, if Mr. Luo Xiang defends Zhang San, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not watch it.
While watching, Ye Qin answered James Shams' questions and helped him popularize China's traffic laws.
"In China, don't drink and drive, and don't drink while driving. The consequences of drinking and driving are very serious."
"Wow, that's not a punch at all."
James Shams said it was old America.
The United States checks drunk driving, as long as you can drive in a straight line and drive away, you are fine, and you don’t have to leave immediately, you are allowed to drink water and take a rest.
Even if the alcohol is still over the standard, you can rest again, there are two chances in total.
Because drivers also have the right and freedom to drink!
Ye Qin: 0.0
There was a contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth, what the hell, drunk driving and punching?
Really have you, America!
When Xu Shan was fighting to fish out Zhang San, an outlaw lunatic, waiting for the follow-up final payment, Zhang San scraped off a piece of meat with a knife and said:
"The rest of the money, I'll call you after 10 days."
"Brother, don't bully the lawyer, okay?" Xu Shanzheng sneered.
Zhang San promised to pay the balance in ten days, while Xu Shanzheng asked the other party to use a red car as collateral, but he did not know that he would be killed.In the trunk of the car is the Altai Falcon that the poaching gang wants to sell.
He drove back to the metropolis from the desert in the northwest, followed by outlaws.
Along the way, meet truck brothers who are smuggling gasoline under thatch cover.
That's right, it's the pair of brother-in-law and brother-in-law in "Crazy Racing", "full of jingles, I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination"!
The two cars had a quarrel because of a mouthful of spittle. In the end, the lawyer, who had no power to restrain the chicken, was persuaded to face two tough rough men in a place outside the law.
But take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you get!
Abandon the legal concept, throw the lighter into the thatch pile pulled by the truck and ignite it.
Xu Shanzheng, a lawyer who understands the law, is being assimilated into a beast that ignores the law.
In the seats, the audience watched the screen quietly without saying a word, the silence was only the sound of the movie.
"boom!"
Because the car glass was broken and he couldn't see the front clearly, Xu Shan slammed Huang Bo, who was blocking the car for help, into the air, and was suspected to have died.
As everyone knows, Huang Bo is the killer of a poaching gang, planning to rob and kill people halfway, but he doesn't want to be "reversely killed" by accident!
Xu Shanzheng, who knew he was killed at the stall, traveled to a black shop specializing in illegal activities, met Yu Nan, a female branch girl who was trapped there, bought a tank of gasoline, and wanted to burn the body to wipe out the traces.
Unexpectedly, Huang Bo, the killer, was not dead. He aimed his homemade shotgun at Xu Shanzheng, and said aggrievedly:
"Alone, the car broke down, and he was waiting for someone to help him by the side of the road. Is he wrong?"
"Yes."
Xu Shanzheng held up the standard French surrender ceremony.
"Ha ha!"
"It's very French!"
The originally quiet crowd broke out into strong laughter in an instant. After all, the stalk of insulting the law was brought by Germany.
In the picture, Huang Bo looks like a victim, speaking with a heavy accent: "It's not wrong, it's not wrong, why did you hit him, his leg was broken, bleeding, hey, what do you mean!?"
"I didn't mean it." Xu Shan said weakly.
"People hit it, why not save it?"
Ye Qin chuckled and translated, the bad guy deserves to be saved after being hit?
emm, a good guy is still being pointed at by a gun!
There was another burst of laughter in the theater, obviously serious, but with a black humor.
"I thought, thought you were dead."
"Is he dead?" Huang Bo asked with eyes wide open.
"No, no."
"Why do you pour gasoline on me if you're not dead? You're a bad guy."
Huang Bo sniffed the smell of gasoline on his body, okay, thieves shouted "stop thief", bad guys called others bad guys, and even talked about the law in front of lawyers:
"Do you think this plot is considered particularly serious, and the impact is considered particularly bad..."
In the Six Generations, Ning Hao was one of the few directors who made commercial films well, and Guan Hu was a bit of a sucker.
Literature and art can shoot "Killing" and "Bullfighting".
But once commercials are shot, the tonality of literature and art is inexplicably added, such as the white horse in "Eight Hundred" and "King Kong River", and the big battle in the snow in "Old Paoer"...
Especially "King Kong River", where anti-aircraft guns hit planes, 1v1, ground-to-air, deep well ice, and it was filmed as a cowboy duel with guns?
Guan Hu can only be counted as half, while Chief Jia can only make dull films, and Lou Ye has also gone astray, all kinds of literary and artistic hypocrisy.
Lu Chuan, hetui, what the hell!
Therefore, it is extremely rare for a domestic director to make a road movie that is not boring, and even has a taste.
Halfway through the movie, about an hour to go.
The slow-paced linear narrative is like a car stepping on the gas pedal, and the logical and tight circular pursuit finally appears.
Zhang San, an outlaw lunatic of the poaching group, two brothers who smuggled gasoline, the father and son of a black shop owner, and several groups of people were killing back and forth on the road in the northwest desert.
Huang Bo was killed by the black shop owner, the black shop owner was killed by Zhang San, the two brothers who smuggled gasoline were killed by Zhang San, and even the buyer who bought the falcon was also killed by Zhang San.
What is an outlaw fanatic?
What is a place outside the law?
The theme is revealed all the time in the movie, where is the boundary between humans and animals?
In the finale, Zhang San wanted Xu Shanzheng, who was dying, to watch him drive a truck, chase and kill Yu Nan, a weak girl like a lamb.
Xu Shan lit up the lighter with the remaining strength, threw it into the oil barrel full of gasoline behind the carriage, blew it up and set himself on fire, and died together with the outlaw Zhang San.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Accompanied by a violent explosion, the film ends slowly.
However, there was no big scene of everyone standing up, let alone crazy cheering and shouting. There was a weird quietness in the atmosphere, and there was no laughter during the movie watching.
Xu Shanzheng looked around anxiously, Huang Bo asked in a low voice, "Look at Qin Zi, see how they react?"
"Qin Zi stood up, Qin Zi applauded."
"Snapped."
"Clap clap."
When Ye Qin was the first to stand up and applaud, the audience slowly burst into applause, neither high nor low, neither too much nor too little, neither surging nor stagnant.
As if to imply, so-so.
"This, does it mean we're out of luck?" Xu Shan scratched his bald head.
"Look at Qin Zi, hey, what about others?"
Ning Hao was also like an ant on a hot pot, looking left and right, and saw that after the movie ended, the audience walked out of the theater, and Ye Qin and the judges walked towards the special passage opposite to the audience.
"You won't be able to find Ye Qin before the closing ceremony."
Yu Nan immediately stopped Xu Shan to fight for a few people. The Berlin Film Festival's sophisticated protection system made it even more difficult to catch the judges.
"They should be discussing the vote next."
………………
In the meeting room, the Berlin International Film Festival is coming to an end.
"This is China's first modern western crime road movie."
Ye Qin sat in his seat and actively solicited votes for "No Man's Land": "A lawyer who understands the law becomes a beast with a trace of humanity in a place outside the law. There is a concept in Chinese culture called killing one's body to become a benevolent, sacrificing one's life for righteousness. Just like martyrdom, benevolence and righteousness, lawyers abandon the law, but stick to kindness."
"I feel like No Country for Old Men," Greta Gerwig murmured.
Ye Qin shook his head and said, "There is still a difference in intention between the two. If you lose your humanity, you will lose a lot, but if you lose your animal nature, you will lose everything."
Barbara Broccoli's eyes lit up, she savored this sentence carefully, her eyes flicked on Ye Qin's body, and she puffed out a cigarette lightly.
Other judges are also commenting.
The selection of the Berlin Film Festival is basically to watch a film, discuss a film, and first decide on everyone's opinions, so that everyone has a general idea in mind.
In this way, it will be very easy to vote, and there is no need to waste time arguing.
Now, all the entries have been unveiled. Although there are good and bad reviews, there is a general consensus that the quality of this year's films is a hundred times better than last year's.
There are nine awards in the main unit, Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award, Best Film First Film Award, Outstanding Artistic Contribution Silver Bear Award, Best Actor Silver Bear Award, Best Screenplay Silver Bear Award, Best Director Silver Bear Award Bear Award, Jury Prize Silver Bear, Best Film Golden Bear.
The staff first distributed the voting cards for the Best Screenplay Award, and everyone's opinions focused on the two films "Path of the Passion" and "Boyhood".
Ye Qin wrote "Path of Suffering", which is not just a German film, but a story about an older sister who speaks up for her autistic younger brother and makes dangerous decisions.
After voting for the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award and the Best First Film Award, it is the turn of the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Silver Bear Award, which is the Best Cinematography Award.
There is no doubt that it was voted for "The Grand Budapest Hotel". The color matching, composition, and art design are the best among the finalists.
As for the jury award, which is the work second only to the best picture, he has already voted for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" unanimously with Dieter, James Shams and others.
The three major European film festivals have an unspoken rule:
Unless it is so good that it is far superior to other competing products, the best picture will not be awarded to a Hollywood film.
In the same way, Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" scored 3.7 points in the magazine media, which can be described as the best, leading the second place "Cross Station" by 0.7 points, but it still missed the Golden Bear Award .
voted for a best director.
Everyone maintained a tacit understanding. When it came to Berlin, there were many candidates.
It is a pity that Mei Ting and Zhang Lei starred in "Massage", which involves the theme of blind masseurs.
Lou Ye directed it into a group portrait play, but the scenes were too scattered, and neither of them was outstanding. Instead, it was Nihong's "Little Home", with Matsu Takako serving as a foil for Kurokihua.
In the end, regardless of prejudice, Ye Qin, the judge, seemed too small-minded when it came to judging people's orders.
So, I chose Kuroki Hana and Matsu Takako, who are a little immature in acting but have more potential. To be honest, their acting skills have solidified and become rigid.
When it was time to be an actor, I was worried again.
Xu Shanzheng, Ralph Fiennes and others are all excellent, but there is no one who is too convincing.
Unlike Ye Qin last year, almost unanimously passed in the first round!
This round took the longest time, all nine people got into trouble, Ye Qin thought for the longest time, everyone else had handed in their cards, but he was the only one left.
"It seems that last year's best actor is very cautious about this year's best actor!"
Christoph Waltz was only half joking when he saw his delay in writing.
"Feel sorry."
Ye Qin apologized and handed the card to the staff. Instead of Xu Shanzheng, he chose Ralph Fiennes from The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Xu Shanzheng's performance was mediocre, as plain as water, and Huang Bo had a breakthrough, but his roles were not enough, only supporting roles.
The key, unspoken rules, try not to allow a country to win an award in a row, and it should be divided naturally without being picked on.
Finally, it was the turn of the Golden Bear for Best Film.
Ye Qin glanced around, James Shams, Dieter, Barbara Broccoli, Greta Gerwig...
The eyes meet, rubbing out an intriguing spark.
