Chapter 717: The paparazzi business is really not good this time.
[new]
To be honest, Li Yi himself did not expect that the movie "Reply from Heaven" would have such a big impact.
It can be said that children's movies are indeed a missing genre in the Chinese film market.
Before this, it’s not that everyone doesn’t want to make money from their children. Everyone knows that in this world, women and children’s money is the best way to make money.
But the problem is how to change people's deep-rooted impression. When children watch movies, of course they are cartoons.
As for the live-action movie, forget it.
This is probably a common thought among many adults.
Because China does not have a rating system, parents cannot tell whether the content in the movie is suitable for children to watch.
By the same token, because the movie review system is also aimed at the general environment, and more specifically at the impact that movies will have on adult audiences, this has already caused many people to clamor for blame.
So, is it suitable for children to watch?
There is basically no clear standard in China.
Not to mention movies, the same goes for TV series and animated series. Remember the URL
So this is why, after a children’s movie is made, how do you get parents to approve it? Let parents feel safe taking their children to watch it?
Especially in China, many parents pay too much attention to education, usually to prevent the slightest change, which has resulted in the current situation.
It seems that children are only suitable for watching cartoons,
No matter how much you praise other live-action movies, they don't think they are really suitable for children to watch.
"Heaven Replies" actually does not completely break this situation, but at least it takes a circuitous route and opens a gap.
It has also begun to make many people in the industry realize that as long as parents are willing to take their children to watch movies, there is a lot of potential for children's movies.
However, Li Yi didn't pay attention to all this.
The shooting time of "Life is Beautiful" is very limited. After all, the Berlin Film Festival is different from the other two European film festivals. The Berlin International Film Festival is the earliest.
It can be said to be the first heavyweight international A-category film festival to kick off the awards season.
Therefore, there is not much time left for Li Yi.
Fortunately, with the full help of James Dean, it can be said that Li Yi only needs to be responsible for directing "Life is Beautiful".
The cast of "Life is Beautiful" is also extremely luxurious.
The leading actor is Oscar winner Carl Greenberg. When Carl Greenberg received the audition invitation for "Life is Beautiful", he fell in love with the movie immediately after reading the script.
He also recommended his son to play the leading role in "Life is Beautiful".
After the audition, Li Yi felt that the father-son team was indeed very good.
As for the heroine, she is equally well-established and is Hollywood’s first-line actress Angel Kelly.
Due to time constraints and the fact that this movie is a literary film, Li Yi omitted a lot of unnecessary publicity.
Start it up directly and quietly.
On the other hand, time has entered September.
The Berlin International Film Festival has announced the candidate for the jury chairman of next year's Berlin International Film Festival, the famous actress from Hong Kong Island, China, He Shuhua.
After this news was officially announced, many domestic directors who were interested in competing for film awards at the three major European film festivals suddenly changed their original intentions and directly switched to the Berlin International Film Festival.
Xue Kaishan, one of the four most famous directors in China, announced that his new film "A Gray Life" will be officially submitted to the Berlin International Film Festival.
Other directors are not to be outdone, and several films have officially announced their participation in the Berlin International Film Festival.
More than five Chinese-language films have been publicly announced as candidates for the Berlin International Film Festival.
Many media even shouted that the Berlin International Film Festival will usher in the Year of China!
First, He Shuhua was officially confirmed to serve as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of next year's Berlin International Film Festival, and soon after, five famous Chinese directors, including Xue Kaishan, announced that they would compete for next year's Berlin International Film Festival.
Among them are many famous directors who have won awards from three major European film festivals.
Many movie fans are even looking forward to transforming next year's Berlin International Film Festival into the Chinese Berlin International Film Festival.
Don't think it's strange, and don't think the fans' expectations are unreliable.
In fact, among the three major European film festivals, the Berlin International Film Festival can be said to have the closest relationship with Chinese films.
It has happened more than once that the Berlin International Film Festival ushered in the Year of China, and more than three Chinese films won awards in the final main competition section.
What's more, the chairman of the jury of this year's Berlin International Film Festival is Hong Kong actress Ho Shu-wah.
Domestic movie fans are no stranger to Ho Shu-wa. During the golden age of Hong Kong movies, Ho Shu-wa can be said to be the goddess in the minds of countless movie fans of that era.
It also has a large number of fans in the mainland.
However, when the Berlin International Film Festival is mentioned, many movie fans can't help but think of Li Yi.
"It's a pity that Director Gou doesn't seem to be preparing to hit the Berlin International Film Festival this year, otherwise it would be even more exciting."
"Who says otherwise? Next year's Berlin International Film Festival, with He Shuhua serving as the chairman of the jury, should be the most promising year for dog directors to win a Grand Slam."
"It's hard to say. If the dog director announced his participation, it would be really involved."
"That's also the best opportunity. The three major European film festivals, the Oscars and the Golden Globes, are unprecedented Grand Slams. The dog director shouldn't be absent."
"It seems that Director Dog didn't even come back to promote "Heaven's Reply" after it was released. Could it be that he is secretly holding back his big move?"
"This is really possible. The director of "Cinema Paradiso" was secretly suppressing it. If a certain anchor hadn't happened to meet him, we wouldn't know until the movie was made."
"Where is Director Dog? I suddenly discovered that the domestic entertainment media is really too low, and they didn't catch any news at all."
"Yes, it was like this in the original "Cinema Paradiso", and it feels the same this time."
This is true even among movie fans, let alone the domestic media.
In fact, many media also thought of Li Yi at the same time. After all, uu reading, the chairman of the jury is one of them, so he will naturally get two more votes. And if Li Yi competes for the Berlin International Film Festival, he will complete the grand slam of awards.
, to achieve the feat of being the first person in film history, this is definitely the best opportunity.
However, other domestic directors announced their participation as soon as the news was announced, while Li Yi was silent.
This is obviously not normal.
However, in fact, movie fans also wrongly blamed the domestic media.
The main reason is that Li Yi's movie was released not long ago, and there was another movie released right after it, although it was not directed by Li Yi himself, but it was also a feature film directed by Li Yi.
And Li Yi is not a big star in front of the stage, so how can the media keep staring at him every day?
