Chapter 702 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
It is conceivable that once Li Yi starts competing for the Berlin International Film Festival, the last piece of the three major European film festivals, then, by then, it will definitely attract global attention.
Then I will definitely be picky about Li Yi's movies.
Because there are too many people who would never like to see such a real grand slam person appear.
Therefore, the person who serves as the chairman of the jury will inevitably be under tremendous pressure.
If He Shuhua serves as the chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival jury, if Li Yiya competes for the Golden Bear Award, she will also face huge pressure from public opinion.
However, because of the unspoken rules of the film festival, pressure can also be motivation.
After all, there will be just as many people supporting you as there are oppositions, let alone compatriots.
Of course, this all has to have a prerequisite. To make iron, you need to be tough yourself.
If Li Yi wants to win the award, he must produce a high-level and high-quality film that also conforms to the theme of the Berlin International Film Festival.
What is the theme of the Berlin Film Festival?
It must be a topic related to Zhengzhi.
But for Li Yi, he was the first and second best, mainly because he really had no inspiration for a while.
"If you don't have any inspiration, you can meet and talk to Ms. He. She is the chairman of the jury of this Berlin International Film Festival. The list of other judges has not been announced yet, but she must know..." Zhao
Guangming smiled and made a suggestion.
Li Yi nodded. Compared with the Oscars, which has many judges, public relations are more difficult and uncertain. The number of judges at the three major European film festivals who can decide the awards is much smaller.
Usually the Berlin International Film Festival is similar to the other two European film festivals. The number of judges for the main competition unit generally does not exceed ten.
Of course, don’t think that having fewer people means better public relations. In fact, it’s really hard to say.
Because compared to the Oscars, the jury members of the three major European film festivals, especially the jury members of the main competition units, are basically filmmakers from different countries.
Each of them will have their own preferences and their own people to take care of.
The chairman of the jury does have great power, but that doesn't mean he can make decisions with just one word.
In particular, He Shuhua is not as highly respected as Bertolt Manning, so she may have great power to influence the awarding of awards, but she must also gain the support of the majority.
Originally, it can be said that it is difficult to compete for awards at the three major European film festivals.
Even because of the unique preferences of the Berlin International Film Festival, it is often ranked second or third in influence among the three major European film festivals.
But for Li Yi, today's Berlin International Film Festival is more important than the Oscars.
After all, what you can’t get will always cause turmoil.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Guangming, Li Yi was also a little troubled. I have to say that this time is indeed the most promising one, but here is the problem.
Li Yi simply didn't think about it anymore.
Let’s make the movie “Heaven Replies” first.
The movie "Heaven Replies" is just a small drama, and it is not difficult for Li Yi.
Li Yi started preparing for the film directly.
In terms of actors, for the main role, the role of grandfather was directly cast by veteran actor Xu Ding.
Xu Ding also worked with Li Yi at the beginning, but it was not that pleasant. It can be said that most of the actors who have worked with Li Yi are generally quite happy, except for the original cast of "Bitter and Happy Life".
"Oh, he's still the protagonist?" Xu Ding said with some surprise after reading the script.
Of course it's not that he has never played a leading role before, but he didn't expect that Li Yi approached him to play a leading role.
There are many levels of veteran actors. Needless to say, some veteran actors have acting skills, but their fame and income are difficult to be directly proportional to their acting skills.
And some veteran actors need acting skills and fame.
Xu Ding is almost 70 this year. It can be said that he has played countless dramas in his life, but he can only count the number of leading roles.
"How is it? Grandpa Xu, is this role okay?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Okay, that's great, but I'm a little confused. How come you, a kid from Hong Kong, thought of writing such a story about the old capital?" Xu Ding asked curiously.
Li Yi was already prepared for this.
"At the beginning, I really wanted to make a story about grandparents and grandchildren in Hong Kong, but that's not to follow the Romans. After all, there is a big difference between the childhood of children in Hong Kong and the childhood of children in the mainland. If the movie is to be released in the mainland, then
I must shoot something that can remind everyone of their childhood memories." Li Yi explained with a smile.
"Sure! I'll take this role, tricycle, musical greeting card, piggy bank, kite, hehe, it's interesting." Mr. Xu Ding smiled and nodded.
After Li Yi settles the casting matters, the filming of the movie will begin.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Xu Nannan called.
This was nothing at first, but the result...
"I have it! You are going to be a father!" Xu Nannan said on the phone, a little nervous and a little excited.
Li Yi's first reaction was to be confused.
There has been no movement for so long. Unexpectedly, Xu Nannan secretly went back to Hong Kong Island to spend a few days with Li Yi. Unexpectedly, she got hit.
"You, don't you like it?" Xu Nannan asked with some disappointment when Li Yi on the other side of the phone didn't respond for a long time.
"No, no, I like it, I like it so much! It's just a little sudden..." Li Yi said quickly.
To be honest, he also felt that he was quite a scumbag. In fact, Xu Nannan and Mu Qing both knew about each other's existence.
But they all tacitly pretended not to know.
For example, the last time Xu Nannan returned to Hong Kong, Mu Qing actually knew about it. During that time, she didn't even look for Li Yi.
"I just wronged you." Li Yi said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied." Xu Nannan said instead.
"Like this, I'll fly over right away..." Li Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind. Although that was still quite scumbag, at least it was a compensation for Xu Nannan and the baby in her belly.
Bar.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yi directly threw the crew to Zhuo Yixiong.
Then flew directly to North America.
As a result, when I got off the plane, I saw Xu Nannan waiting at the pick-up gate. When she saw Li Yi, she immediately ran over and threw herself into Li Yi's arms.
Li Yi hugged her quickly and said worriedly: "Auntie, you are not alone now. You are still making noises like this, so you are not afraid of getting hurt."
"It's only less than three months, it doesn't matter. I just miss you so much." Xu Nannan put her hands around Li Yi's neck and said.
In fact, she rarely behaves like this on such occasions. It is probably because she is pregnant that her mood changes greatly, which is why she behaves so recklessly.
