The banner "Press Conference of "Warring States"" was quickly replaced by "Press Conference of "Mining Bottom"".
A large number of people took their seats one after another.
Zhou Yilin shook hands with Charlotte Saili, and then showed a bright smile when he saw Zhou Yang.
"Xiao Zhou, you should have told me about the press room earlier. If I had known that you were arranged to be in that small press room, I would have made room for you at noon today."
"In the future, don't keep everything in your stomach, and exchange ideas with our seniors more. Seniors like us hope that young people like you will develop better and better. After all, we are in the same company, so we are also proud of you, right? We
It just so happens that we are from the same family, so don’t be so different..."
"Why did you bring this guy Wang Shuai? Really, he hasn't even come to the press conference yet!"
"Go quickly, don't delay, by the way, the tie is crooked. When facing the camera, image is very important!"
Zhou Yilin held Zhou Yang's hand sincerely, his eyes full of appreciation and the emotion that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
When Zhou Yang faced Zhou Yilin, he showed a naive smile, nodded gratefully, and straightened his tie immediately.
For a moment, he had the feeling that Zhou Yilin really valued him, and Wang Shuai's reminder was somewhat of a villain.
But then, he suppressed this thought.
People's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows what is hidden under the smile.
Zhou Yilin has been silently seeing Zhou Yang sitting next to the chairman with eyes of appreciation and admiration, nodding from time to time with a very pleased expression.
but……
Somehow, I feel more and more frustrated.
Especially when he saw a group of people gathered around "The Bottom of the Mine", the feeling of suffocation made him suffocate.
……………………
"Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, what do you think of the film "Under the Mine"?" The press conference began soon. A reporter from the United States stood up subconsciously after being called by the host.
"Berlin International Films has been committed to the development of third world films, especially Chinese films, for the past twenty or thirty years. I am personally very happy to see good Chinese films register in Berlin to show the progress and innovation of Chinese films to the world.
, in recent years, there have been "an endless stream of new Chinese directors". I have seen their support for Berlin and the display of their talents. At the same time, I have talked with many directors about their vision and expectations for the future of film, such as Mr. Zhou Yilin, Mr. Shen Changwei and others.
My friends, we have a ten-year-long deep friendship, and because of their support, the Berlin International Film Festival will be even more exciting..."
in the corner.
Zhou Yilin heard his name.
He smiled subconsciously, and when the camera turned to him, he clasped his hands at Charlotte and nodded with a smile.
The indescribable resentment in my heart dissipated completely at this moment.
Immediately, he saw Charlotte Saili sitting up again: "However, I personally feel that many movies in recent years have given me the feeling that they lack a kind of tension. The movies pay too much attention to technique and packaging, giving people a sense of tension.
There is a feeling of overly ostentatious skills. Everyone is praising life, but lacks a sense of shock to life. This sense of shock happened to make me see it in "Under the Mine"..."
"Which film do you think will win the award, "The Mine" or "Hero"?" The reporter suddenly stared at the chairman closely again.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. I'm just expressing my personal opinion about the movie "Mineral Bottom". The specific award needs to be unanimously voted by the jury. My opinion is not important..."
"Will Chinese films achieve zero breakthrough this year?" the reporter asked again.
"Sorry, the protagonist today is not me, but the creative team of "Mineral Bottom"..." Charlotte Saili did not answer any questions, but handed the microphone to Zhou Yang next to her.
Then he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile.
When countless cameras and eyes fell on Zhou Yang, his heart trembled subconsciously.
He was confused!
He actually doesn't like being in such a big press room.
The more spacious the place, the less safe it is for a socially anxious homebody.
When he was alone in the past, it actually didn't matter. Even if he was scolded bloody, he would be disappointed at most. But now there are so many people sitting next to him, they are already a team. If he doesn't answer well, he will be very disappointed.
It may affect the subsequent reviews of this movie.
in other words!
He has baggage.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, as far as I know, there are very few Chinese films in the form of documentaries that have been shortlisted for Berlin. In particular, there are very few films about miners' work. Can you briefly talk about your original intention for this film?
?" A Dutch reporter raised his hand and was called upon by the host. He looked at Zhou Yang excitedly and asked subconsciously.
"The original intention of creating the film actually stems from some experiences in the mines."
Zhou Yang felt a thump in his heart.
The question this reporter asked was completely different from the question in his speech.
Facing the camera and a pair of eager eyes, Zhou Yang felt a chill running down his spine. He didn't know how or what he should answer.
He recalled in his mind what An Xiao had said to him in private. If he really couldn't answer it, then he would make it briefer.
After saying this, he subconsciously chose to shut up.
The Dutch reporter and other media watched eagerly as he continued, preparing to hear his thoughts on his journey during filming and the hardships of script creation...
However!
After waiting for a long time, they found that Zhou Yang had nothing to say, just smiling and sitting calmly, with a straight posture, like a soldier in a meeting.
The translator next to me was confused.
Gone?
No more content?
Can you tell me something about your experience?
Why don't you be so cold?
The blond girls were so excited that they kept waving their homemade posters, hoping that Zhou Yang would take one more look at them.
One of the blonde girls holding the microphone kept raising her hand, hoping that the host would click on her.
Unfortunately, the host chose another person...
……………………
Glenn was a little sulky.
Obviously she shouted the loudest and most enthusiastically, and was also the closest to Zhou Yang and the host, but the host chose not to click on her, but instead clicked on another reporter.
Immediately afterwards, the German "Film Times" reporter, the reporter from Belgium, Robert, who was rumored to be gay, and a number of Chinese reporters who could not be named were all named.
The only thing is not to criticize Glenn. Glenn even wanted to run to the stage and give the reporters a slap in the face.
The questions asked are very useless and have no level at all. Why can’t they ask in-depth questions?
Haven't you seen that Mr. Zhou Yang's answers are getting shorter and shorter?
Really!
And what happened to this host?
blind?
Can't see me?
Glenn was so angry that his chest kept heaving, and he wanted to bite the host to death.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, can you tell us in detail what you think of the details of making this movie? I heard that you were shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor Award. Are you confident that you can beat Mr. Freddy in "The Revenant"? Do you have any expectations?
More than the God of Slaughter?"
When he finally got to Grein, Grein excitedly asked this question.
After asking this question, she felt that all the reporters were extremely excited.
But she happened to see that guy Zhou Yang push up the mirror.
"Sorry, I don't know..."
Glenn was also shocked.
The guy answered more simply.
After answering, he continued to sit solemnly, giving people a cold and cool feeling.
God!
Glenn felt his heart beating wildly!
Just when she wanted to ask more questions, she suddenly saw the guy added, "Actually, I think it would be better to ask Mr. Chen Shuangbao, Ms. Xu Li, and Ms. Liu Tingting about the details of the shooting..."
After saying this, the reporters looked at Zhou Yang sitting so obediently, staring in one direction. Then, the next series of questions were all asked by other staff of "Mining Bottom"
After answering desperately, Xu Li glanced at Zhou Yang gratefully, and then excitedly delivered her long speech...
……………………
After the press conference, Zhou Yang felt like he was completely exhausted.
There is a feeling of exhaustion.
He is really not suitable for such an occasion.
"Mr. Zhou, see you at night in Berlin!"
Chairman Charlotte Saili shook hands with Zhou Yang and left these words very seriously.
After Zhou Yang watched Chairman Charlotte Sally leave, his heart was filled with gratitude.
He feels that he is very lucky in this life.
No matter in his most difficult and desperate days, or at this time, someone always stepped forward to help him.
Along the way, he met more and more good people.
far away……
An Xiao and Wang Shuai were watching him quietly.
In fact, they have been among the crowd, watching this press conference from beginning to end...
Zhou Yang suddenly felt that he was doing very poorly.
From beginning to end, he answered reporters' questions in the shortest possible way.
It is estimated that Berlin will be filled with people calling him shameless, low EQ, and indifferent later...
He felt a little lost.
However, as soon as he stepped down from his seat, a large group of young girls gathered around him and took another group photo.
A little girl even put bear ears on his head!
He seemed a little at a loss.
After finally taking a group photo with the little girls, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the hotel.
He couldn't sleep repeatedly, and finally had the courage to read the comments about him in the major media.
Then……
"He is a warm director..."
"He would rather have less exposure in the camera than others to be left out in the cold."
"Compared with other directors, he is more like a collective leader."
"He has an inherent gentlemanly temperament, which many directors do not have. Many directors often talk at length during interviews, eager to show the world that they are the core of the film..."
"He has the inherent humility of Eastern people, which is very charming!"
He was stunned!
Instead of scolding him, many people were saying that he was charming and handsome!
not only!
"Screen" magazine even gave the movie "Mineral Bottom" a very high rating, and it was actually ranked 7th among the 22 films shortlisted for the main competition...
"He wrote and photographed the voices of the bottom..."
""Under the Mine", one of the few masterpieces at the Berlin International Film Festival!"
"Savage, bloody, hellish, and dirty, this movie presents an amazing hellish world!"
"..."
The positive reviews actually overshadowed many other participating films!
………………………
There are still 18 hours left until the Berlin International Film Festival awards countdown!
Feng Kai, who had just finished eating the steamed buns, saw the amazing reviews and he jumped up again with excitement.
He felt that this movie might actually win an award!
"Can it be broadcast live?"
"sure!"
"That's great!"
When he learned that the live broadcast could be broadcast over there, he was so excited that he almost cried!
