Mostly.

Some Chinese filmmakers in this world have an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

This feeling has even reached an almost fanatical level of obsession.

Starting from the early 1990s, whenever these people heard that a country had an overseas film festival, they would sign up in droves and spend money through the back door. Even if they did, they would have to buy a Pheasant Award with a ridiculous name, and give it to them before awarding it.

, wearing a variety of eye-catching clothes on the red carpet, showing off to a head-turning level.

I'm really lucky to have won a slightly important award like Best Director or Best Actor. They will post some words and pictures pretending to be emotional on major social media and public platforms on the spot, and they will definitely include

A series of testimonials and mental journeys, as well as a group photo with a certain famous international director at the film festival, a group photo with an international superstar...

And after sending it out, they were afraid that no one would know that they had won the award. They spent money to hire a bunch of media and trolls to hype them up like crazy, creating a feeling that they had returned from overseas expeditions and used film art to conquer those foreigners, and foreigners were attracted by movies.

Shocked, without saying a word, he made all kinds of pretense of kneeling and licking...

Hey!

Do you think they are funny or sad?

Then you are wrong!

Many investors who were deceived fell into this trap very much. When they saw a certain director or a certain star winning an award, they immediately came over to talk to their agent about business cooperation, so that their films could have exposure to the international market.

The high-end style of a superstar...

Would you say outrageous?

In such a speechless and slightly morbid environment, the three major film festivals in Europe are directly praised as the holy places of movies by many Chinese directors and stars, and they try their best to get in through various channels!

Even if you don’t have any works, it’s still good to stand outside the venue for a while and watch the red carpet!

Among the three major international film festivals in Europe, the Berlin International Film Festival is the one that attracts the most attention.

No!

The shortlisted awards have not yet been announced, but many female celebrities wearing sexy clothes and their public relations teams have already gathered in and started to be active at the scene and take photos.

Why?

Because it’s precious!

Because so far, no Chinese director or actor has ever won an award. They have been on the road for decades, rushing forward with the highest hope every year, and then coming back with their heads hanging down.

Damn it, this award is still embarrassingly vacant, and I haven't won a single award.

"Comment on Berlin: This year, more than 20 Chinese films have signed up to participate in the exhibition, the most in Berlin's history..."

"Hero director Shen Changwei was interviewed by a reporter: Berlin this year will be the noisiest Berlin. I will present the most perfect martial arts art culture to foreigners..."

""Tianji" is suspected to be officially shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival? Director Chen Kai publicly mocked domestic movie fans for their lack of quality and lack of aesthetic art."

"Zhou Yilin was interviewed by a reporter from Berlin: He has been invited to be the award presenter and will welcome all Chinese compatriots on the stage with Charlotte Celie. Talking about "Warring States", the award presenter may conflict with the shortlisted awards. At present,

In the history of Berlin, there is no guest and finalist award at the same time, so we can only focus on the same..."

"Hong Kong director Xu Lung: "The Town" will be a touching movie..."

"..."

"..."

The shortlisted films for this year's Berlin International Film Festival have not yet been officially announced.

but……

All kinds of hype and momentum are already flying everywhere.

There is a mixture of truth and lies in it, no one knows.

Especially the closer it gets to the announcement of the list, the more messy news there is.

Among them, the news about great directors Chen Kai and Zhou Yilin is the hottest!

There is really too much ridicule in the country for the media's indiscriminate treatment of him.

The great director Chen Kai was so ridiculed that he couldn't bear it. He finally scolded the Chinese reporters in Berlin. He even started to say some angry words to the fans under the guidance of some rhythm. This kind of angry words is exactly what the media likes.

It is said that they are adding fuel and jealousy together. Under the media's fueling and ridicule, it has aroused the resentment of countless self-media and some film critics, who are all criticizing and ridiculing Chen Kai on the Internet...

Chen Kai, on the other hand, didn't have the air of a great director at all. He went straight to the stage to start a fight. The more he cursed, the more fierce he got. He even wrote a lawyer's letter saying that these people were just insulting him and that he would not let anyone go!

The popularity of this great director in China once overwhelmed all major social software.

As for Zhou Yilin?

Director Zhou’s enthusiasm is even more intense!

On the morning of the 16th, he deliberately arranged an interview with reporters and announced that he had been invited by the Berlin International Film Festival and became the only award-winning guest from China on the stage...

This announcement!

The media are going crazy!

Awards guest!

What concept is so, so, otherworldly?

Isn’t this a proper display of international status?

Who is more awesome than this?

and!

Is it the best presenter for the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution?

What the hell!

This is the main competition award second only to the Golden Bear Award. It has recognized authority and huge influence in the world film industry. It is an important award to commend the world's outstanding film artists!

Seeing how awesome Zhou Yilin was, a group of movie fanatics who were close friends with Zhou Yilin were so excited that they almost had an orgasm.

"As we all know, no director of a shortlisted film has ever been able to serve as an award guest in Berlin!"

"Director Zhou Yilin is about to create Berlin history!"

"What a long face!"

"Filmmakers of our generation have been waiting for this day for too long!"

"This is a hint. Do you know what kind of hint it is? It's perfect!"

"We're about to hit zero!"

"..."

They publicized it in major media and kept talking about Director Zhou, as if it was them and not Zhou Yilin who were standing on the awards stage!

With this momentum, many people have the illusion that this year's Berlin International Film Festival will not only sweep away the previous decline and win zero awards, but even Chinese films will destroy the list!

Can the heat not be terrifying?

However……

Reality is so disgusting sometimes!

Noon on February 16th.

There is bad news coming from Berlin!

Among the twenty films signed by Huaxia, ten of them were rejected on the spot by Charlotte Celie alone.

Including some well-known directors and works with high hopes.

For example, "The Town" by emerging Taiwanese director Bruce Hsu, "The Island" by female literary director Zhao Xue, and the undercover film "Gun" directed by Hong Kong director Liu Jiashang.

All wiped out!

By the afternoon, another batch of Chinese movies had been removed. Many media even secretly photographed some directors who had returned from Berlin early, and expressed with frosty faces that they were very tired and would not accept any form of interviews from any media for the time being!

In addition to the director, many stars who participated in the movie also returned to China one after another. It was difficult to get an interview, but in the end there was no comment.

This undoubtedly gave many expectant filmmakers and fans a bad premonition.

Wait until evening!

When Berlin officially announced this year's shortlist...

Many people are mentally depressed.

"Grass!"

"What's going on? Last year, ten films were applied for, and three were shortlisted. This year, 20 films were applied for, and only two were still shortlisted?"

"What the hell, the review is too strict!"

"I can understand the movie "Hero". It is the ambitious work of Director Shen Changwei and Shen. I can understand that he has put a lot of effort into it!"

"But why was "Warring States" eliminated? Is it because Director Zhou was invited to be the award presenter? That's a shame, Director Zhou, how can the presenter be shortlisted for the award?"

"what's the situation!"

"What the hell is "Mineral Bottom"? What's going on? Is this movie shortlisted? Director Zhou Yang? Who is Zhou Yang! I've never heard of it!"
