Chapter 737: A strange phenomenon at the film festival, winning awards may not be a good thing
In fact, in addition to those female boxing film directors, at this moment, all the film directors who have nothing to do with female boxing, including Li Yi and others, can't help but frown.
Because it is obvious that this Berlin International Film Festival feels a bit threatened by female actors.
As for Li Yi himself, he does not support or oppose LGBT, and the same is true for female boxing.
It can even be said that he supports the reasonable things pursued by some female boxing organizations.
But now he understands that for many things, the original intention may be good at the beginning, but it may be too much.
For example, this year's Berlin International Film Festival can be said to have almost become a tool to promote female boxing.
But the problem is that the film festival itself targets all films, not a specific film festival!
However, right now, it can be said that, as netizens said, we might as well just change the name to the Female Boxing Film Festival.
However, Li Yi soon became thoughtful.
What he can think of, what the public can think of, can't the judges of the Berlin International Film Festival's main competition section think of it?
But why does this situation still occur?
And before each award, the award presenter will also specifically mention female boxing.
This makes people feel that this Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony is a bit weird.
As we all know, even if a film festival wants to be honest, it is impossible to award film awards to films of the same type.
By the same token, it is said that the Berlin International Film Festival is ushering in a Chinese Year, but in fact, the finalists for the final awards ceremony in the main competition are Li Yi's "Life is Beautiful" and Xue Kaishan's "A Gray Life"!
Film Festival, share the pork!
This is the consistent rule.
However, no matter what everyone thinks, the awards ceremony is still going on.
The next award is the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution!
This award is actually a technical award with a suffix.
Sometimes it's fashion design, sometimes it's photography, etc.
However, this year's Berlin International Film Festival seems to be going all the way to darkness.
The winner of this award is actually another female boxing movie, "Stripper"!
Won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Costume Design).
But to be honest, Li Yi has actually seen this movie before, and the content is very large, but it is not a surprise that this movie won this award.
Because the heroine is a stripper, the costume design is really amazing.
However, since the first two awards were won by female boxing films, this award becomes particularly eye-catching.
This is the case for three consecutive awards.
The costume designer of "Stripper" who won the award was cheering at the award ceremony.
Many people related to female boxing movies are also very excited. In their view, this is another victory for female boxing.
Only this time, Li Yi and others looked strange.
Because all fools know that as long as the Berlin International Film Festival does not want to be called a female boxing film festival, then it is impossible to go all the way.
Moreover, if you really want to do this, it will definitely damage your own brand.
Although the awards are all voted for by the judges of the jury, if they really want to do that, they will inevitably cause trouble.
The organizing committee will inevitably get involved.
But the result was calm and there was no similar news at all.
Therefore, it seems that three consecutive female boxing films have won awards, which seems to give people the feeling that this Berlin International Film Festival is really going to go all the way to the dark side, but the result must be the opposite.
In fact, many movie fans also reacted at this moment.
"As the saying goes, it's just a matter of three. If you bet fifty cents, the next award will definitely not come from a female boxer!"
"I'm just betting on you. Do you really think that the film festival organizing committee and judges are all fools, and that they can force you into the palace with just a parade? You're so underestimated."
"If you really do this, Cannes and Venice will laugh like crazy!"
"Also, it's impossible to think about it. Receiving an invitation means winning a prize. Director Gou and Director Xue Kaishan are both here!"
Do you really think everyone is stupid?
In fact, it may not be an explanation given by the Berlin International Film Festival jury to female boxers.
Look, three awards in a row, what?
You say the portion is not enough?
That's the Silver Bear Award, don't go too far!
Soon, the next award is the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay!
"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay at this Berlin International Film Festival is..."Life is Beautiful", congratulations!"
There was once again a cry of exclamation at the scene.
Because this award can be said to be expected by many people, but it is also unexpected.
What was expected was that, as expected, this award was not awarded to a female boxing film. However, what was unexpected was that the winner was actually "Life is Beautiful", which had the highest demand for the award!
The Berlin International Film Festival, Cannes, and Venice Film Festival actually have similar unspoken rules in this regard.
That is, share the pork!
Basically, it can be said that a movie may have a high probability of winning two Silver Bears, but it rarely happens that it wins both the Gold and Silver Bears.
After all, there aren’t many awards to begin with. If you get one more, you’ll have one less movie to win.
Therefore, many domestic movie fans were a little stunned after cheering.
"No, just to win the prize? It's too early!"
"It's over, Barbie has a Q. The sooner you get the prize, the lower the probability of the Golden Bear in the end!"
"No, I remember that the dog director won this award at Cannes before, and didn't he also win the Palme d'Or later?"
"Exceptions can't always happen, can they?"
"What's wrong with making an exception for a dog director? Grand slam! What a gimmick!"
"But if a dog director doesn't win an award, then every time he competes for an award, the Berlin Film Festival can rob him."
For a time, movie fans were also talking about it.
At the same time, Li Yi came on stage to receive the award, and the host of CCTV's Six Princess Live Room also began to analyze the impact of Li Yi's winning of this award on the subsequent Golden Bear Award.
For example, in the history of the Berlin International Film Festival, there has only been one case where a film won the Best Screenplay and the Golden Bear at the same time.
It immediately made domestic movie fans feel chilled.
There are many combinations of gold and silver awards, but there are very few specific Silver Bear awards.
This is actually a traditional charm of the three major European film festivals.
Winning an award is always a good thing, right?
But at the three major European film festivals, sometimes winning awards may not necessarily be a good thing.
Especially for a popular movie like "Life is Beautiful".
Naturally, a Best Screenplay Award cannot satisfy Li Yi and the others.
Li Yi was actually a little stunned when he heard that he had won the award.
He was actually quite surprised, because in his opinion, even if the Berlin International Film Festival did not give a Golden Bear, at least it would give a more substantial Silver Bear, right?
Just want to get rid of one of the best screenwriters?
