A special program about Li Yi going overseas and achieving a Grand Slam was soon released.
Many people don't understand the significance of Li Yi's Grand Slam success and how difficult it is.
According to the special program released by CCTV.
First introduced, up to now.
In fact, there are not a few people who have won Grand Slams. Of course, this refers to the three major European film festivals.
In the history of film, there are 8 Grand Slam winners in total, including directors, actors, and actresses!
Yes, a full eight.
At first glance, it seems like there are quite a lot of people.
But in fact, they are completely two concepts.
Because these Grand Slam winners have won, for example, the Director’s Grand Slam, which is the Best Director Award at the three major European film festivals!
The same goes for movie kings and movie queens.
Among them, there are actually three grand slam winners who have won the highest prize!
Of course, these are all things that have a long history. The first person to win the award can even be traced back to sixty or seventy years ago.
If that's the case, then Li Yi can be regarded as the ninth Grand Slam winner at most.
However, these Grand Slams are limited to the three major European film festivals.
But Li Yi still holds an Academy Award for Best Picture in his hand!
From this, Li Yi can exclusively enjoy the so-called Grand Slam and be ranked number one in the world!
And many of those awards span decades.
But Li Yi only lasted six years!
After this special report came out.
Even people who don’t understand understand it. Anyway, it’s just two words: “Awesome!”
Not only that, the next day's CCTV news broadcast spent a full three minutes reporting on Li Yi's achievements.
What does it mean to win glory for the country? This is it!
Abroad, similarly, Li Yi's name also resounds throughout the sky.
The front-page headlines of entertainment media are almost all about him.
After all, this time he is truly the first person in film history, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a legend.
Dean Pictures is also going all out to promote "Life is Beautiful" and Li Yi!
Although Xu Nannan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, it's not like Li Yi doesn't want to accompany her, but the problem is that the two bowls of water have to be leveled, right?
So Li Yi returned to China!
The so-called brocade clothing does not return home, just like brocade clothing walking at night!
Li Yi didn't keep a low profile when he came back this time, or he couldn't keep a low profile at all.
At the exit of the Capital International Airport, a bunch of guns and cannons have long been blocked here, waiting for the real master to appear.
You can see Li Yi surrounded by a group of people from a distance!
"Come out, hurry up!"
A sharp-eyed reporter yelled and then a group of people rushed over!
Of course, on the domestic side, Lou Jianjun had already made arrangements and directly rented a venue at the Capital International Airport for a temporary press conference.
Li Yi was escorted by bodyguards and arrived at the temporary press conference that had been arranged.
Li Yi is famous enough in the first place, not to mention that this time it was such a big deal that even CCTV News gave him three minutes of reporting time.
Therefore, even at a temporary press conference, there are hundreds of media reporters present.
Of course, for many small media and self-media people, this time is a very good opportunity, because in the past, they were not qualified to attend Li Yi's related media conferences.
But since it is a temporary press conference, there is basically no threshold set.
"Thank you all for your love. However, time is limited. This impromptu press conference only lasts for one hour. For this reason, each journalist friend whose name is called can only ask one question!"
In fact, there are not many big media coming this time, because media such as CCTV, Penguin, Cool Cat, "Film Weekly" and other media will give them enough interview time later, and many media have previously attended the Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony
I have been interviewed since then.
Li Yi naturally knew that he could not avoid it this time, so he simply agreed to interviews with several major media.
The first person named was a female reporter wearing glasses!
"Director Li, I am Liao Juan, a reporter from "Entertainment Events". Congratulations on winning the award for "Life is Beautiful". You are already the first person to win the highest award at the three major European film festivals, including the Oscar. You will also make literary films in the future.
?"
In fact, this question is also a question that many people are curious about.
After all, it can be said that Li Yi has won the top awards at the three major European film festivals, which are the highest and most influential overseas. So for Li Yi, the appeal of these awards has become very limited.
"Of course, you can't make movies just to win awards, right? And I've only won a few awards, and there are still many awards I haven't won." Li Yi said calmly.
In fact, this is a bit like Versailles. Although it is of course impossible to make a movie just to win awards, most literary and artistic films really have to win awards if they want to make back their money.
For example, it can be said that for "Life Is Beautiful", if this movie does not win awards and is released directly as a normal movie, the box office may not be able to make back its money.
"Director Li, why did you choose to make "Life is Beautiful" and choose to make a movie with the background of the Jewish Holocaust? Instead of our domestic background? Is it because you need to compete for awards?" At this time, the second reporter suddenly asked a question that made the whole audience laugh.
The question of quieting down.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Li Yi nodded seriously and said: "It does mean this. The Berlin International Film Festival is different from Venice and Cannes... Of course, it is more because
I liked this story very much, so I made it!”
Li Yi clicked to stop.
Of course, the real reason is that Li Yi's golden finger opened this movie, but he will definitely not tell it.
As for Li Yi, everyone who understands understands it.
The Berlin International Film Festival focuses on politics (harmony), but in China, to be honest, it is really difficult to find materials.
In fact, there is one more thing that Li Yi did not say.
Many directors in our country have made many films about the Holocaust, but it is often difficult to gain recognition, not only at home, but even more so abroad. Why?
To put it bluntly, it is because of personal pain.
Many directors want to tell this period of history from an international perspective, but they ignore one of the biggest problems.
That is, this is the most painful history that we Chinese have encountered, not someone else’s.
Therefore, if "Life is Beautiful" were changed to a story with a Chinese background, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such results.
The story of "Life is Beautiful" takes place in the Western world. They have personal pain, so they are more able to accept the movie...
"Director Li, do you have any expectations for the domestic box office of "Life is Beautiful"?"
"Of course the more the better, but this is a literary film after all, so..."
"Will "Life is Beautiful" continue to compete for Oscars?"
"Probably, but we have to wait until next year."
"Does Director Li have any plans for the next movie?"
""Life Is Beautiful" hasn't even been released yet, so the production team's donkeys aren't used in this way, right?"
...
Generally speaking, the impromptu press conference was smooth and enjoyable.
After all, even the official recognized it, and the news specifically gave three minutes to Li Yi and his film, which was an achievement.
Those who work in the media must of course understand the intentions of the summit.
Naturally, no one will do the opposite at this time.
