"Hello, are you Qiurui-Zhang? Are you the male and female protagonists in the movie "Love"? " After the movie was over and everyone was leaving, an elderly lady who still had charm approached Zhang Qiurui and asked uncertainly.
"Hello, you are Ingrid Túrin.
I've seen you perform in Wild Strawberries and Winter Light, and you performed really well." Zhang Qiurui hadn't expected the visitor to be the president of the Berlin Film Festival, Turin.
As a woman, Turin should have a preference for the profound connotation and emotion of the movie "Love".
The film "Love" is a profound story about love, life and farewell that transcends age and illness. Zhang Qiurui is well aware of its power to touch people's hearts and understands why it has been recognized on such an international stage.
This movie will definitely resonate with women, especially older women.
It not only explores the beauty and tenacity of love, but also touches on the brilliance and fragility of human nature in the face of aging and illness, as well as the deep affection that never leaves at the end of life.
"Zhang, I've seen your film, Love. It brought back so many memories for me, about love, loss, and acceptance. It portrays these aspects of life in such a delicate and realistic way that I was deeply moved.
"Zhang, your filming was fantastic, and the actors you selected performed exceptionally well. They brought out the characters' emotional layers so vividly, it made people feel empathy." Tulin looked at the very young Zhang Qiurui with some disbelief.
I don’t know how she managed to make such a profound and delicate work.
In her eyes, Zhang Qiurui is not only a talented young director, but also an artist who can understand human nature and capture the essence of life.
"Ms. Tulin, thank you very much for your recognition. It is my honor that you like the movie "Love." Zhang Qiurui responded humbly.
"Zhang, let's work together if there is a chance." Tulin was very busy as the president of the Berlin Film Festival. After chatting with Zhang Qiurui for a few words, she took the opportunity to invite Zhang Qiurui to work together.
"If there's a chance, no problem." Zhang Qiurui smiled and nodded in agreement.
Who knows if there will be a chance for the two of them to work together in the future.
"See you at the premiere." After saying that, he nodded to Zhang Qiurui and took this opportunity to make friends with other filmmakers.
"Director Zhang is...she is the chairman of the jury of this Berlin Film Festival?" When Hu Feng was about to ask who Turin was, he saw an introduction board hanging in a corner of the venue out of the corner of his eye. It clearly introduced Turin's identity and achievements. Hu Feng was a little shocked.
This time, the president of the Berlin Film Festival is so optimistic about the movie "Love" directed by Director Zhang.
Then, wouldn’t their chances of winning the award be very high?
Hu Feng and Luo Lan thought the same thing. After they looked at each other, they both showed ecstasy on their faces.
The movie "Love" basically consists of the male and female protagonists' roles. If it can win an award, the probability of these two winning it is the greatest.
Currently, no one in Hong Kong, mainland China, or even the whole of Asia has won the Best Actor or Best Actress award at the Berlin Film Festival. Once they win this trophy, their acting careers will usher in unprecedented glory.
This not only means recognition from the international film community, but also is a huge encouragement to Chinese-language films. He is also the first person in the history of Hong Kong, China, and Asia to win this award, which is of unique significance.
"Director Zhang, the chairman of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival is so optimistic about your film "Love", so isn't our chance of winning an award very high?" After leaving the venue, Hu Feng met Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai. After Hu Feng told Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai the good news, Jiang Zhiqiang asked with a look of great joy.
He recalled that last year, after Zhang Qiurui's film "The Fault in Our Stars" won an award, the price of its overseas distribution increased several times, and it sold for several million US dollars.
The profits are calculated in dozens of times.
He only invested 200,000 yuan in this movie, and the return rate was almost ten times more.
"Awards come in all sizes. A small award is just consolation, as the copyright won't fetch much.
If you want to win, win the grand prize." Zhang Qiurui said with a calm smile.
In the following days, Zhang Qiurui, Li Shaohong, Hu Feng and Luo Lan watched the films shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, while Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai selected the films they liked and bought out the distribution rights in Hong Kong.
After the premiere of "Love", Zhang Qiurui did not expect that not only the president of the Berlin Film Festival, Tulin, came to the premiere, but also three judges.
This shows that they are optimistic about the movie "Love".
This premiere was not like the Cannes premiere, where there were only a few people. The entire screening room was filled.
This publicity is mainly centered on Zhang Qiurui.
The new film directed by the best director of the 32nd Cannes Film Festival is here and has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 30th Berlin Film Festival. You will know whether it can win an award at first sight.
These days, the three major foreign film festivals are still very attractive, especially those that have won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which are attracting much attention.
As a result, with Zhang Qiurui's title as the Best Director winner at the Cannes Film Festival as publicity, the premiere screening room was packed with film producers and audiences.
As the film played, the audience was silent, with only the dialogue and music in the film, as well as occasional soft sobs, being heard.
The plot slowly deepens, and the delicate portrayal of the characters' emotions makes everyone present immersed in this story of love and loss, hope and redemption.
The lights came on, the film ended, and the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time. Many audience members had tears in their eyes, obviously deeply moved.
