Chapter 718 Director Dog is really holding back his big move.
[new]
If Li Yi made a movie in China, he would naturally not be able to escape the scrutiny of the domestic media.
But Li Yi is not in the country, which makes things difficult for the domestic media.
In fact, the domestic media had already thought about whether Li Yi would participate in the Berlin International Film Festival to complete the unprecedented awards grand slam after the Berlin International Film Festival announced the candidate for the jury chairman?
But in the end, I really couldn’t find anyone.
I only know that Li Yi did go abroad, and his destination was North America.
But that's all.
Although Li Yi can be said to be a real celebrity in China, he also has a certain degree of popularity in North America.
But firstly, he is a Chinese director and not a star. Secondly, Li Yi has not had a movie released in North America for a long time.
Therefore, naturally there will be no North American media attention.
For a while, it was also difficult for the domestic media.
So some media issued a reward to find Li Yi's whereabouts.
But the result was nothing.
"Let me go, is there a familiar smell?"
"Indeed, it's basically a real shot. Director Dog must be holding back his big move in a corner."
"But where did the dog director go?"
"yes,
Where did the dog director go?"
There are naturally many people who know where Li Yi has gone, but if Li Yi doesn't tell them, they will naturally not tell the media easily.
For a time, "Where is Director Dog?" was directly posted as a hot search topic by some netizens.
In fact, Li Yi didn't mean to hide anything intentionally.
It's just that they didn't take the initiative to promote it. After all, for a movie like "Life is Beautiful", although it can be called a classic in my memory, this still cannot be changed. This is a literary and artistic film, and it is also a foreign language film.
piece.
In fact, Li Yi didn't have much expectations for this movie at the box office.
Don't look at the fact that many foreign language movies have high ratings in China, but in fact, the box office is really unsatisfactory.
It's normal for it to be popular but not popular.
So in terms of publicity, Li Yi didn't pay much attention.
Of course, if it can really win the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, it will not need much publicity, because by then, the film will naturally have a bright aura.
Just like now, there is no need for publicity, the media and fans will naturally pay attention.
Not only that, domestic directors including Xue Kaishan and other directors are also paying attention.
It's actually quite difficult for Xue Kaishan. In the past few years, he initially took the route of balancing business and art, but the results were not satisfactory.
He wants awards but not awards, and wants box office but not box office. Fans are ridiculing him that he, a veteran director from the top four, does not live up to his reputation and is resting on his laurels without making any progress.
So he has been holding his breath. Xue Kaishan and He Shuhua are old friends. This time He Shuhua serves as the chairman of the jury. Xue Kaishan originally wanted to go to the Cannes Film Festival, but after getting the news, he changed his goal directly. Berlin International
Film Festival.
It can be said that he is determined to win the award.
But if he meets Li Yi, to be honest, Xue Kaishan really has no confidence.
The main thing is that Li Yi is very good in commercial films. Xue Kaishan admits this, but in terms of art, Xue Kaishan is actually not convinced.
But in Xue Kaishan's opinion, this guy is really a monster.
At the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Academy Awards, Li Yi actually won awards every time under impossible circumstances. It can be said that he is really lucky in this regard.
Especially the Academy Award for Best Picture, it can be said that Xue Kaishan is the most envious and jealous.
Before Li Yi participated in the election this time, it can be said that Xue Kaishan's gimmick was the biggest. He once won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, and this time his goal is to win the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
But Li Yi's words are really a bit false. Although Li Yi wants a Grand Slam, it is actually more difficult than him to win the prize.
But I couldn’t stand this gimmick and it was full all of a sudden.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is paying attention. No, not only that, the international film industry is also paying attention. By then, not only domestic, but also many international media will be watching.
After all, who doesn’t care about making history?
Soon, Li Yi received a call from Zhao Guangming.
"Are you really holding back your ultimate move?" Zhao Guangming asked.
"It doesn't matter. I just had an inspiration, so I gave it a try." Li Yi said with a smile.
"You should at least reveal some news. There is almost a huge commotion in the country. Also, whether you can participate in the competition and whether you can win the award is not just a matter of representing yourself, so when it is time to promote it, you still need to promote it.
"Zhao Guangming said with a smile.
There's nothing wrong with what he said.
Because if Li Yi really wins the award, he will truly be the first director in the world to win the Academy Award, the highest award at the three major European film festivals.
It can be said that such an honor is no longer just a personal matter for Li Yi.
To put it mildly, it was Li Yi's Grand Slam, an unprecedented personal achievement.
At a higher level, it can definitely rise to the national level. By then, Li Yi will definitely become the shining business card of China Wenhua to the outside world.
After all, it is an exclusive honor, and there is no other branch of this store.
Sometimes movies do have limited influence and are just entertainment.
But sometimes, the same impact is huge, because the movie also touches on the cultural level.
If you really want to win an award, being on the news network is inevitable.
After all, China's economic development has indeed improved, and naturally the focus has begun to focus on the spiritual and cultural levels.
Although China's film market has risen and internationally renowned directors like Li Yi have emerged, after all, in this regard, the development time of Chinese films is still too short.
Therefore, if Li Yi can take that step and become the world's only Grand Slam director, it will also be a cultural victory for China.
"It's not that exaggerated, right? And, to be honest, I'm actually not sure." Li Yi also has his own worries. The promotion is very lively now, but when the time comes, it will be really embarrassing if he loses.
"This year we really have the best hope. You should have confidence in yourself." Zhao Guangming said with a smile.
He didn't believe that Li Yi really didn't have any confidence at all. If he really didn't have any confidence at all, would he quietly hold back his ultimate move?
Li Yi finally agreed.
Back home, Mu Nanxing and the others received a call from Li Yi and quickly announced the news.
Li Yi is indeed filming a film and has decided to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival.
Although this news had been speculated for a long time, it still aroused public opinion after it was announced.
The news that Li Yi was confirmed to participate immediately went viral.
Movie fans rushed to tell each other, and at the same time they began to look forward to the scene when Li Yi became the number one film actor in the world.
