Daddy Academy

Chapter 2776: Comparison of Courage

The premiere exhibition has finally ended, but the real work has just begun. In the evening, the premiere of "Saw" will be screened here, and tomorrow the other two films "ID" and "The Pursuit of Happyness" will continue to be shown.

When those Japanese teams left, they made a special trip to see Zhang Tan and proposed to purchase the Japanese copyright of "Our Summer".

Naturally, Zhang Tan would not agree at that time. The film festival had not ended yet, so there was no need for him to sell it in such a hurry. He had to wait for public opinion to ferment. If it could win a prize, that would be even better and the price would be very different.

After the premiere, many film critics began writing reviews.

Steve Finns, chairman of the popular jury at this year's Berlin Film Festival, also watched "Our Summer" at the cinema without disturbing anyone, sitting in a corner and no one recognized him.

He watched the film quietly for 100 minutes, and when he left, he was in a very good mood and felt particularly relaxed. His mind, which had been exhausted from preparing for the film festival in recent days, seemed to have been greatly comforted, and he showed unprecedented calmness.

When he got home, he immediately locked himself in the study and began writing film reviews.

His wife was knocking on the door, wanting to come in, but the door was locked. He didn't want to be disturbed, so he just told his wife that he needed to work quietly for a while and would open the door and leave when he was done.

His wife was used to it and left, leaving space and time for the old filmmaker.

"This is a movie about childhood, a movie about growing up, and a movie about summer... I didn't expect that I would be fascinated by a movie starring two little girls, but this movie "Our Summer" brought by Mr. Zhang Tan to the film festival has such magic that makes people deeply immersed in it."

"This is the best film I have seen so far at this film festival, and it is destined to become a rare classic in the history of world cinema."

"Unfortunately, just like people obsessed with love find it difficult to accurately express the beauty of love, I couldn't explain at first what had 'bewitched' me about this movie, so that when the movie ended, I had tears of sadness in my eyes but a relieved smile on my face. This kind of grotesque expression is exactly what a classic movie should be like, and it is more convincing than applause..."

After he finished writing his film review, he checked it several times and immediately sent it to the editorial department of the film festival newspaper.

The film festival has an official website where film reviews can be published directly without having to wait until the next day to be printed, thus achieving the purpose of timely tracking of film festival developments.

When the editorial department of the official website saw that it was a film review by Steve Finns, they just quickly read it and approved it. It was published on the official website of the film festival and was listed as the headline on the homepage.

Many people rushed to read this film review as soon as possible, including ordinary audiences and people in the film industry.

These people were well aware of Steve Finns's importance and were very surprised and curious about his high praise for a Chinese film.

On this day, many people learned about the movie "Our Summer".

The most direct feeling of Zhang Tan and others was that the booth of Little Red Horse Film and Television Company became more lively. Many people who came here to ask about "Our Summer" and rushed to buy tickets for the next show.

"It won't be playing today, but we have another movie premiering tonight, yes, it's called Saw."

……

The evening was the premiere of "Saw", but after the organizers of the film festival learned that "Our Summer" was very popular, they immediately arranged two more theaters to screen it in the evening.

As soon as Steve Finns finished writing his film review, he came out of the study while his wife prepared dinner.

While eating dinner, he introduced to his wife the movie "Our Summer" which he had just watched in the afternoon, and did not hesitate to praise it.

"They have another movie tonight. It's a horror movie. If you're interested, you can come with me to watch it," said Steve Fens.

His wife readily agreed.

The two went out together and came to the entrance of the cinema again.

At this moment, a crowd gathered in front of the cinema, including media and ordinary movie fans.

The two of them sat down in a remote corner according to the seat instructions on their tickets. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name. He turned his head and saw that it was an old friend, a senior director. He had also come and sat in this corner.

The two smiled at each other, feeling like kindred spirits.

They didn't put on hats like a meme so that others wouldn't recognize them.

They just don't want to be disturbed, not that they can't see people.

Sitting in the corner of this cinema with dim lighting, it is indeed not easy to be recognized unless it is someone you know.

"It's you."

A person sitting in the row in front of Steve Finns turned around. He heard the voice and found it familiar. He turned around and found that it was Steve Finns.

"You're here too," said Steve Finns.

"I read your review and wanted to watch Our Summer, but there happened to be a premiere of Saw, so I came in to watch it. The styles of these two movies are very different."

“It’s not shot by the same director, but by the same company.”

"No wonder."

"Oh! I see who! Chairman Marit is here too."

The three of them looked together and saw that Mrs. Marit, the president of this year's Berlin Film Festival, actually showed up here to support a horror movie.

At the premiere of "Saw", Zhang Tan did not invite all her girlfriends to come. After all, it is a horror movie, and some children can't stand being scared, such as Xiwawa and Xiaomi.

However, there were still some children who came stubbornly, such as Xiaobai who considered himself a director, and Liuliu who clamored to support Boss Zhang and become the most popular actress at the film festival.

Liuliu is actually the most cowardly one, even more timid than Xiwawa. She is often scared away by Cheng Cheng's ghost stories, but after a while she can't help but come over to listen. She is a typical inexperienced and playful person.

But Cheng Cheng and Dudu, who were really brave, did not come.

Zhu Xiaojing also came. Her main purpose of coming here was to work and take care of the baby.

In fact, to be precise, it is not about taking care of children, but about disciplining them.

She participated in the whole day, interviewing, taking photos, writing news and sending them back to the TV station. She disseminated first-hand information and became the idol of the young war reporter Xiao Weiwei.

The premiere of "Saw" had the same process as "Our Summer" in the afternoon. Before the movie was screened, a brief interview was conducted. This time, Zhang Tan brought the main creative staff to the stage, including "Saw" director Ding Jie, and starring actors Peng Shuang, Wang Yanyun and Guo Jinhui.

It was the first time for these four people to attend an international film festival, one of the three most prestigious film festivals in the world. It was like a dream.

Veteran actors like Guo Jinhui, who have been performing as an extra for more than a decade, are the most emotional.

The four of them were still a little restrained, but fortunately Zhang Tan was there to keep the situation under control and prevent them from getting nervous. After answering a few questions, Zhu Xiaojing took some photos below, and then the movie began.

There is a huge darkness below, and I wonder how many film critics and filmmakers are hiding there.

"If you are scared, just hold on to my legs." Xiaobai instructed Liuliu.

Liuliu nodded subconsciously, then realized that she had fallen into Xiaobai's trap, and quickly made amends, "I'm not afraid!!"

Xiaobai: "You're pretty stubborn."

Liuliu retorted: "You just talk nonsense."

"Hahaha if you're scared you'll have to be my wife."

Liuliu said angrily: "If you get scared, just call me master."

"Okay, deal!!"
