That year Huayu

In the afternoon, the official website of the film festival announced the first batch of works shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Led by the opening film "Legend of the Savages", a total of twelve films appear on the official website list.

Among them, "Peacock" by Gu Changwei ranks among the best.

"Asylum", "Ghost", "The Life Aquatic"...

Lin Nan jumped up with joy when he saw the end. The second to last song was "Into the Dust".

Just when Lin Nan was overwhelmed with excitement, Li Yang's call came.

"Lin Nan, congratulations, you have been shortlisted for the competition unit."

According to the time difference, the sun had just risen over Berlin, so Li Yang really helped Lin Nan pay attention to this matter.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your help. I'll see you in Berlin in a few days. Then we can have a good time together."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan hesitated for a moment while holding the phone.

In the end, I chose to send a text message, ""Into the Dust" was shortlisted for the competition. I am going to Berlin with the crew and creators. Remember to cheer for me."

I wanted to call Liu Yifei, but I was afraid that Liu's mother would pick up the phone, which made me feel embarrassed. "The Condor" is still being intensely filmed, and the mobile phone is probably in Liu's mother's hand. The text messages are okay, and it's nothing to see. It's all just communication between classmates.

Then he turned around and sent a message using Penguin. She would reply when she saw it.

After sending the message, Lin Nan started making phone calls again. Since he had been shortlisted for the competition, it was necessary for the leading actor to go.

I called Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli successively. Both of them were very happy. Being shortlisted meant that they might win the award. As the male and female protagonists, they would definitely not miss it.

That night, the news came out about the Berlin Film Festival. Gu Changwei and Lin Nan both entered the main competition.

"Lin Nan competed for the prize for the first time and entered the finals."

"The best cameraman, Gu Changwei, directed a film for the first time and was shortlisted for the Berlin Competition."

"Billion-dollar director Lin Nan attacks Berlin."

"The crew of "Peacock", the secret behind the scenes..."

Originally, he planned to go to Berlin with the China Film Group, but now Lin Nan has to change his plan, and he has to go with Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli.

Since "Into the Dust" was invested by Lin Nan himself, he had to work harder this time with Berlin and his crew.

From the moment the shortlist is officially announced, film producers around the world will focus their attention.

Lin Nan needs to rush to Berlin in advance.

Although it was during the winter vacation, the department leader still called Lin Nan to praise and encourage him, hoping that he would achieve something.

And he joked, "If you can win the award, I will hold a banner for you when the time comes."

While I was on the phone, the text messages and Penguin messages kept coming. Liu Yifei couldn't call, so she sent text messages. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, Yan Danchen... were all acquaintances.

There are also Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, Wen Zhang, etc. from the School of Drama. Whether you are familiar with them or not, you are familiar with them at this moment!

Those who are familiar with them are all text messages, and those who are not familiar with them are mostly penguins.

The leader finally hung up the phone, and Zhu Yawen called again. Lin Nan hung up decisively and called Liu Yifei.

"The school leaders kept talking on the phone, so I couldn't get in." Lin Nan explained first. Fortunately, the other person on the other side was a well-educated person.

"Okay, okay, I won't blame you. If the crew hadn't been so rushed, I would have wanted to go to Berlin. I haven't been to a film festival yet, and it's still Berlin."

Liu Yifei sounded in a good mood. Maybe it was Lin Nan's attitude that made her very satisfied.

"Mom and godfather said they would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for me this year." Liu Yifei said to Lin Nan with a playful tone.

Lin Nan recalled how she looked when he first met her, "When I first met you, you still had some baby fat. It's been three years..."

"If you keep talking, I will definitely beat you up next time you go back."

"No more, no more." Lin Nan smiled and gave up.

"As I said before, don't take it too seriously when filming. Rest when you are tired or injured. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"

"I know." Liu Yifei answered simply, but Lin Nan knew that she would still fight when she should fight hard. No matter what the outside world said, she just wanted to film her own movie well, even if she was wronged and injured.

I hung up the phone reluctantly, and there was someone urging me to put on makeup...

Lin Nan, Li Baotian, and Jiang Wenli were preparing to leave on the 27th. Miraculously, China Film Group also moved ahead of schedule, and the two parties happened to set off together.

The Berlin International Film Festival is the three major film festivals in Europe and the three major international film festivals in the world.

The Berlin Film Festival, known for its focus on political and social reality, attracts a large number of filmmakers and works to participate in the exhibition every year. The two-week period is designed to strengthen exchanges among film workers from various countries and promote the improvement of film art.

In fact, to be more realistic, this is where art gathers and where fame and fortune are born.

Lin Nan and his group were chatting and laughing on the plane, full of expectations for this trip to Berlin. Although they said that they would do their best to obey fate, they could not hide the excitement in their hearts.

Mr. Han is not far away from truly taking over, and this time he is leading the team again.

Lin Nan and Gu Changwei are the only two seeded players in the country, so their hopes are not small.

Lin Nan initially proposed that Li Yu come with him, but Li Baotian refused, saying that instead of going out for a walk, it would be better to visit the crew more and polish his acting skills.

Jiang Wenli didn't say much, she just squinted her eyes to rest while Lin Nan and others tried not to disturb her.

"Peacock" was shortlisted for the competition section, the heroine is Zhang Jingchu, and "Into the Dust" was also shortlisted for the competition section, the heroine is Jiang Wenli.

The gossip about Jiang Wenli making a big fuss on the set of "Peacock" was widely circulated at the time. This time, the two films were in competition at the same time, and the news was picked up by the unscrupulous media again.

It is conceivable that Jiang Wenli was not in a good mood.

When her husband took the rumored mistress and competed with his first wife in Berlin, Lin Nan could only imagine what the domestic entertainment news would write about it. It was definitely not a big deal to watch the excitement.

This is Lin Nan's second time coming to Berlin. The last time he was in a hurry, it was mainly because Li Yang called him to come and play as an investor in "Blind Shaft".

This time Lin Nan came with his own works, and his mentality was different.

Every year during the film festival, hotels and other accommodation and tourist places are most popular.

The relevant departments of China Film Festival have been involved in various film festivals all year round. This time they even offered to book a hotel for Lin Nan and others, but Lin Nan refused because Li Yang had already made a reservation.

Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli both brought assistants, after all, they were going abroad.

After leaving the airport, Lin Nan saw the people picking up the plane, three black Mercedes-Benz cars, headed by Li Yang, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Teacher Li, Sister Wen Li, this is Director Li Yang."

"I know, I saw "The Blind Shaft" in school, and it was very good." Li Baotian said.

Jiang Wenli smiled and shook hands.

"Teacher Li, Ms. Jiang." Li Yang greeted.

He hugged Lin Nan again and said, "Get in the car and I'll take you to your hotel."

Lin Nan got into Li Yang's car, and Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli got into the two cars behind.

Three cars left the airport.

Li Yang looked at Lin Nan and sighed with emotion, "Two years ago you were still a fledgling actor, and two years later you are already a famous director. I feel like I have lived like a dog in the past two years."

Being banned from directing in China for three years really made Li Yang very uncomfortable. He almost stayed out for the past two years and never went back.

"Brother Li is serious. Aren't you working very smoothly here? After a few years, everything will be fine. Jiang Wen has been an actor for five years. The time has come recently and I heard that a new film is being prepared."

Listening to Lin Nan's comfort, Li Yang nodded, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about you this time."

Li Yang paused for a moment, "I saw your film. It's very good. It's the taste that Berlin likes. Although it's a censored film, it's hard to say whether it can be released on a large scale, right?"

Li Yang is telling the truth. A film does not end just after it is approved and approved. Being able to be filmed and being released are two different things.

"China Film promised to help. If it doesn't work, I will go to the teachers and leaders in the school. Besides, the policies are slowly being relaxed..."

Lin Nan said he didn't care, but actually he was already making up his mind.

Li Yang smiled bitterly, "Maybe you are luckier than us."

After arriving at the hotel, settling down and paying homage, Lin Nan and Li Yang went to the relevant departments of the film festival.

As one of the works in the competition unit, the crew of "Into the Dust" needs to sign in with the organizer. Lin Nan must be in the film festival address book, otherwise it will be difficult to contact them for any news or notifications.

Filmmakers from all over the world gather here, and movie posters are densely posted, as well as film festival brochures.

"Are you a little face-blind? Just get used to it gradually, and they will see us the same way."

Seeing Lin Nan's embarrassment, Li Yang smiled.

"Are those blond guys from Hollywood?" Lin Nan asked disapprovingly.

"You only know these few." Li Yang complained.

Lin Nan indeed only recognized these faces, and they knew them from movies.

"Should I also get a standing sign and put it in the exhibition hall?"

Lin Nan saw that many movies had promotion signs here.

"For the shortlisted movies, the organizers will help promote them. These are all here to sell the movies, and promotion depends on the producers. This is also a place where film producers like to hang out."

There were so many films at the exhibition that Lin Nan would be dazzled if he were a film producer.

Movies from various countries, different customs, skin colors and languages ​​can all be seen here.

"If I had known that during "The Blind Shaft", I should have gone out with you more." Lin Nan regretted.

I learned a lesson from this time and must be well prepared when participating in foreign film festivals in the future.

It was not too late for Lin Nan to come to Berlin, and many film crews and filmmakers would come to Berlin every day.

Many of the films participating in the exhibition rented screening rooms. Lin Nan has been watching movies during this period. Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli also joined the team. The former studied the lenses and thinking of other directors, and the latter two observed the acting techniques of outstanding film actors. Very fulfilling.

China Film Group holds the power of import and has frequently visited various exhibition halls recently.

Among domestic media coming to Berlin, in addition to official media, Lin Nan also saw the presence of Internet media.

Sohu interviewed the "Peacock" team. Gu Changwei said frankly that there are too many good films this time and fierce competition is inevitable, and he will treat them with a normal heart.

Gu Changwei is a photographer by training. He has photographed "The King of Children", "Red Sorghum" and "Sunny Day". He won the Best Cinematography Award for Golden Rooster and Golden Horse, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography for "Farewell My Concubine".

Following Zhang Yimou's footsteps, Gu Changwei's first film as a director was "Peacock", and the industry also placed high hopes on this film.
