Chapter 186: Shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival again



"I feel relieved after hearing your words." Cheng Shufen nodded slightly, a relieved smile on her face.

She knew that Zhang Qiurui's abilities in filming movies and composing lyrics and music were well-deserved. With her promise, Zhang Guorong's future would undoubtedly be brighter.

........。

On the last day of 1980, the list of films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 31st Berlin Film Festival was announced, which caused an uproar in Hong Kong.

Because, neither the Hong Kong reporters nor the film companies knew when Zhang Qiurui filmed a movie. It was done quietly and no information was leaked at all.

When people learned that the film shot by Zhang Qiurui was an animated film produced by their company and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, there was even greater shock and discussion.

This is the first time in history that there has never been an animated film shortlisted for the main competition at the three major international film festivals.

This news was like a bombshell, causing ripples in Hong Kong and the entire Chinese-language film industry.

Later, it was learned that Zhang Qiurui's animated film shortlisted for the 31st Berlin Film Festival was adapted from her novel of the same name, "Spirited Away". The novel, published in Hong Kong, ushered in a sales frenzy.

He knew that not every film produced by Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films would involve Golden Harvest in its investment, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Moreover, Hai Kuo Tian Kong Pictures has only been developed for less than three years, but it is comparable to today's Golden Harvest. This makes Zou Wenhuai have to look at Zhang Qiurui's talent and vision with new eyes.

He also knew that in the highly competitive film industry, it was no easy task for Haikuatian Pictures to rise and produce several high-quality films in such a short period of time.

Zhang Qiurui played an indispensable and important role in it.
