Hearing the French reporter's question, Evan Bell was not surprised. In fact, Evan Bell had already seen the news in the Berlin Film Festival Bulletin yesterday. Every time Evan Bell participates in a film festival, other things are second, watching movies is the most important part, so he attaches great importance to the film festival's publications. But surprisingly, the lively scene of yesterday's opening ceremony was completely invisible, and the Berlin Film Festival was always filled with a bleak mood.
The bleakness of the Berlin Film Festival has a lot to do with it. To put it simply, the Shana Film Festival has stepped into a commercial road. Although it has been criticized for its lack of artistry and professionalism, it has made the film festival prosperous; the Venice Film Festival has grown from three to three. The reform began a few years ago, striving to find a balance between business and art, and extending an olive branch to Hollywood, which made the world's oldest film festival in a period of pain, but it finally stopped the decline.
The Berlin Film Festival, which has always been called the Berlin Film Festival of seminars, has always adhered to a heavy, solemn and rigorous professional line. Film festivals lose their appeal. A film festival with only authority and no attention will not last for a long time; without authority and attention, it will be a dead end. If the Berlin Film Festival cannot increase its influence, it will not attract more works to participate in the exhibition. , then what's the use of authority without good works?
Therefore, the Berlin Film Festival has been in a state of confusion for the past two years.
Under such circumstances, the Berlin Film Festival began to gradually increase its support for Asian and North American films, and gradually opened up some possibilities for the selection of judges. However, due to the inaccuracy of the scale, this year's film festival opened The embarrassment of the resignation of the two previous judges.
In fact, in this year's jury list, Shu Zhan from China is the fourth actress to be on the jury list of the International Film Festival after Gong Li, Zhang...Manyu, Zhang and Ziyi, but Shu Zhan is more than three. For a senior, the lack of works with international influence has always been a major weakness; and the German actor Diane Kruger is considered to be the representative of the vase, and her most famous work is the epic of failure. The goddess Helen in "Troy", so her qualifications as a judge have also been questioned a lot.
It is no wonder that reporters have a lot of speculation about the resignation of the two judges.
For the French reporter's question, Evan-Bell curled his lips: "First of all, I think this is the freedom of personal choice, everyone has their own values; but this is also a manifestation of their responsibility, they are completely You can discuss it with the organizing committee in advance. After all, this matter was not told to them until the day before yesterday, right?" Evan-Bell didn't intend to speak politely, and said his thoughts bluntly, " Secondly, I don't think it has any effect on the awards, as I said before, it's not my job but the judges' job. If I'm a judge who just resigned, then you can ask my opinion on the film, then You'll know if my resignation has any impact on the awards."
Evan-Bell's answer made the reporters roll their eyes, but they couldn't say anything about Evan-Bell. It was a situation that made people speechless.
"Evan, I'm an Italian journalist. Last year, the Shana Film Festival invited you to be a jury member, but unfortunately I didn't make it. I wonder if you are interested in being a jury member for other film festivals now?"
This time it was Italian journalists who came to frame the Shana Film Festival. The Venice Film Festival and the Shana Film Festival are deadly enemies. It is estimated that people in the film industry all over the world know it.
The dog Bell couldn't help laughing, "If you come to ask my opinion on some movies, there is no problem. As for the judges, I think you still need to consider the timing."
In fact, the Sundance Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival have been inviting Evan-Bell to serve as a judge for the past few months. Judging from Evan-Bell's current position in the film industry, this is an absolutely appropriate invitation. As for age, it's not a problem at all at this point. Evan-Bell did not reject it outright like last year's Shana Film Festival, he had reservations. Indeed, to become a judge of a film festival, you still need to look at the timing.
The reporters all heard the possibility from Evan Bell's answer and immediately became agitated, especially the Italian reporters were particularly active. However, Evan-Bell did not intend to give everyone the opportunity to continue to ask questions, "Very well, I think the screening time of 'The Blood Will Come' is coming, and my film is the most important, so today's reporter This is the end of the press conference. I have seen the staff gesturing to me all the time, and I think we will continue the interview and someone will come to chase us soon.”
After the dog Bell said with a smile, he stood up, and led Asa-Butterfield and Leonardo-DiCaprio to leave the position. Evan Bell didn't lie, and the expressions of the staff standing beside him had changed. The original plan was only a fifteen-minute press conference, which lasted forty minutes. This was too exaggerated. Moreover, there is really not much time left until the screening time of "There Will Be Blood", which is the point!
Back in the hotel room, Evan-Bell and others quickly changed a set of dresses in an orderly manner, and then went downstairs to prepare to walk the red carpet and participate in the screening ceremony of "There Will Be Blood".
Yesterday was the first day after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. Martin Cossis and the Rolling Stones kicked off the 58th Berlin Film Festival. It's a pity that even the "Shining Light" booed The complete works did not make Berlin star-studded. It is not that the battle is not clear enough, but the thick clouds over Berlin have obscured all the stars.
The screening ceremony of "There Will Be Blood" was delayed by 30 minutes because of the severely overtime press conference. It seems that even in Berlin, the film festival's glorious tradition of not being punctual can still be seen. However, the photojournalists and fans who were waiting on both sides of the red carpet did not waste half an hour. Evan Bell's strong appeal made many stars appear at the screening of "The Blood Is Coming". Evan - Bell joined.
Bernard-Isinger led three new stars from Germany to the red carpet. Since the collaboration of "Perfume", Bernard-Isinger and Eleven Studio have established a very good relationship. Partnership, last year's "Three Hundred Spartans" scenes were shot in Germany.
British Mike Lee, who has never liked socializing and entertainment, came to the scene unexpectedly. This time he arrived in Berlin with his new work "Worry Free". So far, he has not even opened an invitation to interview, let alone appear. In a public place, it is a big surprise that he is willing to come to support Evan-Bell today.
Martin Cossis, the top brand, and beauty judge Diane Kruger also walked the red carpet together; Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson also gracefully appeared on the red carpet On the carpet, they expressed their expectations for the movie "The Blood Will Come"; if Madonna came to Berlin this year with her directorial debut "Dirty and Wisdom", then "The Blood Will Come" The screening ceremony can be said to be star-studded.
However, the presence of these big stars is not as good as Penelope Cruz. This time Penelope... Cruz starred in "Elegy" with Oscar winner Ben Kingsley. She is obviously very popular in Europe because of her Spanish identity, but she is more popular than Madonna, For the Rolling Stones, a little less
And Penelope Cruz's appearance on the red carpet can cause heated discussions, but it is because of the repeated sparks between her and Evan Bell, and now the media can't tell whether the two are friends. Or is there a further ambiguous situation, or is it simply an enemy? So, when Penelope Cruz appeared at the screening ceremony of "There Will Be Blood", the lively scene was indeed rare.
It has to be said that Berlin is not lacking stars, but lacking an environment to nurture starlight into dazzling light.
Ten minutes before the movie was about to start, the "There Will Be Blood" crew finally arrived at the scene belatedly. Evan-Bell and Leonardo-DiCaprio appeared with Asa Butterfield at the scene. On the red carpet, in an instant, the heart-wrenching shouts of the scene made Potsdamer Platz bear the most serious noise since World War II, making people wonder if the wreckage of the Berlin Wall not far away has begun to crumble. Bell and Leonardo - DiCaprio's progress is not fast, mainly in accordance with the rhythm of Asa Butterfield, Asa - Butterfield, this little guy has obviously become a The biggest highlight on the red carpet. Different from the casual and comfortable dress at the press conference just now, on the red carpet, Evan-Bell and others all chose formal clothes, but Evan-Bell chose a very bold and conspicuous red Scottish plaid suit pants to match the white ones. A suit jacket, which obviously brings a fresh warm air to the cold and windy Berlin, while Leonardo DiCaprio is relatively conservative, and the iron gray suit makes him still look handsome. . Asa-Butterfield in a black suit is like a little adult, showing his mature yet immature jerky, making the shutters in the hands of reporters unable to stop.
Since the movie was about to start, Evan Bell and others did not stop to be interviewed on the red carpet, but entered the screening room directly. This move disappointed the reporters, and the photojournalists took out the same battle they used to treat Mi Rabbit Jagger yesterday: the boos were overwhelming, hoping to keep Evan Bell in this way.
It's a pity that Evan Bell never eats this set. He patted Asa Butterfield, who had stopped walking, on the shoulder, and continued to enter the screening room, preparing for the screening of "There Will Be Blood" at the Berlin Film Festival.
