"Well, we are already at the airport, you don't have to worry... Right, right... CCTV reporters are also here. They will go back after sending us to the plane... Nothing is going on here at the airport. Don't arrange the press conference for now... Right
, everything will be said after I come back...goodbye."
"Mr. Liu?" Xiaoming asked when Qin Xiaobao hung up the phone.
"Yes, the country is not peaceful either. The news has been overwhelming." Qin Xiaobao looked at the endless stream of tourists in front of him: "Mr. Liu said that last night it was the first hot search, and it has continued to this day. Many people are
Support us!"
"It's a good thing. There should be a lot of news. I asked my colleagues to read it, but CCTV hasn't reported it yet."
"Mr. Yue, don't worry." The CCTV reporter on the side took over: "When I interviewed Director Qin yesterday, it was already midnight in China. Our colleagues in Berlin have been understanding the situation. When you go back, there should be someone dedicated.
Come to your door.”
"Thank you Reporter Luo for your help."
From the hotel to the airport, it was no different than usual. There was no blockage that everyone was worried about. However, with the CCTV reporter accompanying me, I felt really at ease.
Soon after, Qin Xiaobao was in a rather complicated mood as he took off and looked at the increasingly smaller buildings outside the window.
When I came here, it was very relaxed. I could travel and participate in the competition on time, and the first two days were carried out as planned.
I didn't expect that something like this would happen. How it will develop in the future is completely beyond my capabilities. I just lament that the manpower will be exhausted.
He didn't sleep particularly well last night.
Because the incident is still unfolding, if it only concerns Kiwi Tao and him personally, then it doesn't matter.
If you quit, just quit. It's enough to develop well in China. It doesn't matter if you come to Berlin or not, you can still support yourself.
Even if you quit the entertainment industry now, you will still be able to live a prosperous life.
However, as more and more domestic and foreign media joined in, it would definitely not be over for a while. He would occasionally have thoughts about whether it would have been better if he had not said that sentence.
There was no turning back when the bow was drawn, the thought passed by in a flash, and there was no entanglement? Let alone Mr. Xiaoming Huang and the others, he would not mention it.
"Director Qin?" After the plane flew normally, Wang Bingbing came over and said, "My mother sent a WeChat message in the morning, asking what happened."
"What did you say?" Qin Xiaobao was still a little surprised. It hadn't been a day, so even the aunt knew about it, right? He quickly realized that it must be because of his daughter that he was concerned.
"Just reassure her that she's okay? She's back already? You should also have received many calls from friends."
Qin Xiaobao nodded: "Quite a few."
More than a few? Phone calls, text messages, WeChat, QQ? Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Lin Xue? Chen He? He Jiong...
Everyone is caring? It made him feel flattered and very warm.
Especially the elder brother, who is quite heroic: Are you afraid of them? Come back first to ensure safety, and then slowly start to fight? There are more than one billion people in our country, how can we be afraid?
At 3:10 in the morning, the plane landed. After getting out, I saw Xiang Yang, Liu Minghua and many other people picking up the plane.
It was obvious that everyone had a lot to talk about, so Qin Xiaobao smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Along the way, everyone was just chatting, and Liu Minghua secretly said: CCTV has taken action.
A large group of people arrived at the office.
"Mr. Qin."
"Mr. Qin is back."
There are already staff inside preparing hot drinks and some food.
Everyone sat together, Qin Xiaobao was not polite and took a piece of fried noodles: "Don't tell me, I have only been out for a few days, and I really want Chinese food."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Thank you for your hard work, we still need to work overtime in the middle of the night." Qin Xiaobao expressed his gratitude to everyone: "Mr. Liu, please tell me about the situation."
"Today, I should say yesterday, all day long, there are twists and turns." Liu Minghua made a simple ppt and played it on the projector: "Let's talk about China first. The news of withdrawing from the Berlin Film Festival has spread throughout the country, and the topic on Weibo has become
Ranked first.
At 10:30, CCTV’s official blog forwarded this news and commented on it.”
There is a screenshot on the projector: Does the so-called free society now even interfere with the creative rights of artists? "The Man from the Earth" is just a movie, but it rises to the level of religion and race. Excuse me, the American movie "Dawn", "
"The Last Disciple"... Why didn't you protest when these films came out?
As an international film festival, it should have unique understanding, a tolerant attitude, and the ability to deal with problems.
Chinese director Qin Xiaobao was unable to get any information for a long time after the problem arose. The organizers of the Berlin Film Festival did not provide any effective solutions and allowed the incident to develop unchecked.
After seeing that the matter could not be properly resolved, the first reaction was to have director Qin Xiaobao passively withdraw from the film festival.
I would like to ask, if there is a problem with this film, why was it not raised during the review and selection process?
So much so that the director said he would never participate in the Berlin Film Festival. How disappointing was this decision?
It is not only disrespectful to Chinese directors, but also disrespectful to directors all over the world.
I can’t believe this is the way the Berlin Film Festival handled the problem.”
Qin Xiaobao read it carefully three times: "The wording should be considered tough, right?"
"Of course!" Liu Minghua changed the page: "This was issued by CCTV International. It was more sharp and criticized the organizer severely. It was quite protective in it. It was not only CCTV, but also "People's Daily", Ziguang Pavilion,
The Communist Youth League has spoken out."
No wonder, when Liu Minghua came to pick him up, his face looked tired, but he looked very excited without much worry.
It’s easy to understand. What do you say about foreign awards?
The icing on the cake is naturally nice to have, but most of the time it is not necessary.
There are only a handful of people like Qin Xiaobao who have both films shortlisted and have a chance to win.
After all, even directors like Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee are still focused on domestic work. We have not seen Jia Zhangke win numerous awards, and we have not heard of substantial box office growth.
The official media came out to help speak, indicating that the domestic situation is stable and the base camp is safe and sound. It will have basically no impact on Kiwi.
"CCTV also spent a lot of effort on research." Liu Minghua explained: "After the video the night before yesterday, the reporter took the participating films back for research. I heard that they also invited specialized religious scientists, several famous directors, and
Analysts on the international situation discussed it together and came to the conclusion that it was unwarranted and deliberately nitpicking."
"My waist feels a lot stiffer." Qin Xiaobao laughed and said, "Has the film been posted on Twitter?"
"Well, the three major domestic video networks launched it first." Liu Minghua found the slide: "There are many messages, and most of the viewers support you."
"What about abroad?"
"Speaking of foreign countries, you may not know that yesterday was really... nothing happened without us."
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaobao didn't understand.
"Look at it!"
