atypical hollywood life

Because they don't fully understand one thing, but they don't know everything. If they have a half-knowledge, they will always make up some strange ideas by themselves, and come up with a bunch of dumbfounding things. Leslie felt very helpless about this, and could only explain to the girl that he really had no 'personal grievances' with the production company of "Infernal Affairs"!

Especially the word 'personal grievances', the bite is very heavy.Really, he did have some unpleasantness with some producers in the past, but it is definitely not the company that produced "Infernal Affairs". I feel very sorry for Lin Sheng if you do this.

Just so tired!

"Got it, got it. There is absolutely no 'personal grievance'." Margaret also bit the words hard, as if to show that she absolutely did not mean to be wrong.

As for whether she really thought about it in her heart, only she knew.

But Leslie still acted as an intermediary for Margaret, introducing her to the production company and screenwriter of the film.If the movie can be remade by Hollywood, it will also be a kind of promotion for Hong Kong Island movies. Whether it is from the perspective of friends or other perspectives, Leslie is willing to do it.

This kind of thinking is not only unique to him, but also a kind of psychology of the screenwriter and production company of the film.If the movie is really remade by Hollywood, it will also have an impact on the original movie, Zhuang Wenqiang and Mai Zhaohui also mean the same.Being able to remake one's own work is also an affirmation of the screenwriter's ability, and the two are happy to sell the adaptation rights.

After the two parties have reached an agreement on the intention, it is the negotiation on the price.

Margaret has no experience in this area, and she has always been the type who just talks and doesn't work.Not to mention the film company buying the copyright, even the foundation that manages all her property buys the company. She has never just talked about it. If she wants to sit at the negotiating table and put on a professional posture, it is only in a movie. , in reality, don't count on it.

But the most successful thing about Margaret is that she is very good at making others work, and this time is no exception.After learning that the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" was still in the hands of the other party, she called Norman directly to apply for support.As the current CEO of Wood Torch, Norman still has a few master negotiators, so in the end Margaret didn't worry too much about the follow-up matters, and left the relevant matters to the people who came to take over. do not care.It is better for professionals to take care of the rest.

Now that the Berlin Film Festival is here, of course movies are the most important thing. There are so many movies waiting for her to watch, and she has no time to spend here.

However, during the leisure time, Margaret also received greeting calls from some friends, and everyone said that they were surprised to see her appearing in the Berlin Film Festival in the newspaper.When did she make such a film and attend the Berlin Film Festival by the way?

Especially James Cameron, the tyrant still kept complaining that Margaret made such a movie without saying a word. If Catherine Bigelow hadn't told him about it, he would have have no idea!His tone was sour.Oh, yes, Kathleen Bigelow is his ex-wife, a tough lady who can peacefully share a room with his other ex-wives at Christmas, and a female director in the independent film industry.

As for what the tyrant is sour, it can be traced back to the rhetoric of George Lucas in a canvassing meeting.

"I think this is like another "The Pianist", but it is not as cold and desperate as it is. In addition, the perspective of the narrative may be different... But it has the same place in expressing the reflection on the war, Especially Meg's performance, I think her performance in this movie is not inferior to Adrien Brody..."

Regarding the achievements of his goddaughter in acting skills, George did not shy away from it, and praised him greatly. Although he has never watched this movie at all, he is completely talking about running trains, but no one knows, who cares so much?

And for James Cameron, a sullen old man who almost became Margaret's godfather, it was a stab in the heart.

As a technical expert, it's fine if he didn't make money back then, but now he didn't even wait to notify him that Little Meg, who almost became his goddaughter, had a new movie coming out. He felt so wronged.George Lucas knew that she made a World War II movie, but he didn't know that little Meg was too eccentric!

"Uh..." Facing James Cameron on the other side of the microphone, Margaret didn't know what to say.

You are still squatting on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean and making documentaries, let me tell you wool?And why is this resentful tone and inexplicable emotions so similar to George?Could it be that this guy has also reached menopause?Margaret shuddered. How does it feel to have two menopausal old men by her side at the same time?She thought she had the right to speak now, so let's smooth it out.Otherwise, the call would have to make her sleep!

Margaret felt a little tired after finally dismissing this old man who seemed to be in menopause.The young girl is surrounded by a group of young handsome guys, and she is surrounded by old men!There are handsome guys, but they are either already married or gay. All of a sudden, Margaret feels so desolate. Why is there no handsome guy chasing her?

She completely forgot how many suitors she has rejected both openly and secretly, which is also a crime!

Time passed while Margaret was eating and drinking, and it seemed that the closing ceremony came in the blink of an eye.

The star-studded stars on the red carpet seemed to be still shining, and the awards ceremony was almost over.So when Pierre Butron stood on the stage and won the Silver Bear for Best Director, he was quite confused.

Is that how you get an award?Why does Butron think it is so unrealistic?It seemed that his legs and feet were shaking, and when Atom Egoyan pronounced his name, he wondered if the other party had made a mistake.After all, the chairman of the jury is a Canadian, and his German is really not good enough. In the end, Margaret, who was sitting next to her, forcibly pulled him up, gave him a hug, and sent him to the podium The direction was pushed.

Uh, considering that this beautiful girl just won the title of Best Actress in Berlin, it shouldn't be a problem for "Calm Like the Sea" to win another best director award, right?Pierre Butron came to the stage as if he was sleepwalking, said a bunch of words in Portuguese that he didn't know what he was talking about, and then stepped off the stage as if he was sleepwalking, sitting on a chair and continuing to sleepwalk.

What does it feel like to have a long-cherished wish come true?Butron will tell you it's like walking on Simmons' bed.

He actually couldn't believe that he would actually win in the three major European film festivals, he was quite self-aware.Over the years, Boutron is well aware that his film style is not very popular with those film festivals.Most of his works are about his favorite stories rather than works with profound social significance. If he really wants to say, his films are more like feature films than drama films, and they focus on portraying emotions rather than plots. , but it is not yet favored by various film festivals.The same is true of the shooting technique. Many people think that his lens language is not mature enough. Even though the style of color and tone has gradually formed in recent years, it is still inferior to those masters.

He really didn't expect that the Berlin Film Festival would give him this award?

"Is the rumor that Berlin loves politics really just a rumor?" Brian sneered.

"Cannes loves heavy mouth, Berlin loves politics, and Venice loves novelty. Although it may not be so accurate, but if there is no foundation, there will be no such rumors." Brian took a sip of the coffee that Marguerite poured him explain.

Margaret has always been so caring, knowing that he will spend time grinding coffee beans for him, which is not treated by others.He thought arrogantly.

"So it's still politically correct." Margaret raised her eyebrows.

In fact, this film was sent to the Berlin Film Festival by the operating film company to exhibit at the Berlin Film Festival. She knew that if there were no accidents, it would definitely win an award, but she didn't expect it to be such a heavy award, which was quite unexpected.Because in terms of artistic expression, there are still some works that surpass "Calm Like the Sea", such as "Death Psalms", "Adapted Screenplay", "The Hours" and other film works.

A film like "As Quiet as the Sea", which is bland and doesn't have too many climaxes and bullying, actually doesn't have much advantage. Margaret only thought that it would be good to win a peripheral award.But I didn't expect to bring back two silver bears.According to this idea, if this year's Golden Bear winner is not an anti-war film shot in war-torn Afghanistan, maybe this little chubby bear will end up on "Calm Like the Sea".

It seems that no matter which country the award is in, it is very important to do what you like.

"Very politically correct." Brian nodded.

"Actually, not only is it politically correct, but it's also a rare film that doesn't focus on showing that the Germans are bad. The content mainly focuses on the fact that some Germans also hate war, and they can't help themselves in the sorrow of this era. .Do you know how much those Germans love this movie? I'm afraid this movie will create a rare box office record for art movies after it is released in Germany." He continued.

When "Angel Emily" was released in Germany, German audiences liked Margaret very much, especially the girl's appearance was very in line with their aesthetics. Not to mention, she even dubbed the German dubbing in the movie by herself.For a country with a particular sense of national pride, it is a matter of pride for foreigners to speak their language, as in France.Why do so many French people like this girl?Do you really think it is just relying on appearance and acting skills?Not that fluent in French?Europeans are very stubborn in this regard.Now this rare warm movie "Calm Like the Sea" will definitely be more popular in Germany, so it is so important to choose the right movie theme and know a foreign language.

Bryan slandered the inexplicable pride of the Europeans in his heart, and he didn't let this group of people go, and satirized the high status of the Berlin Film Festival to the point.

"And the current timing is actually very delicate. "The Pianist" premiered in Cannes and received a lot of praise. Now it is still hitting the Oscars. Of course, Berlin is not far behind. Compared with those films that do not have much influence, they Naturally, I also hope to expand the influence of my film festival. After you won the best actress in Cannes the year before last, both European and North American media reported on it, saying that the Cannes Film Festival is in line with international standards and has become More tolerant. Looking at the films exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival last year, you know that in the past, North American films rarely went there to play, and most of them were in the local Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival and some other fringe film festivals. Participate in the exhibition and win some reassuring awards before continuing to hit the Oscars. But last year, did you look at the number of North American films at the Cannes Film Festival?" Brian curled his lips.
