Chapter 3321: Really sitting in the first row

After all, the Berlin Film Festival is Robinson's territory. He is the boss of the Berlin Film Festival no matter what, so basically, the Berlin Film Festival is generally under Robinson's control, although the Berlin Film Festival is indeed There are also financial backers, but usually these financial backers don't take care of things.

Funders usually just take money and that's it. This is how money is used to buy fame. As an elegant art, film is very recognized by the upper class people in Europe, so investing in the Berlin Film Festival is generally not about making money. It's all for the sake of building relationships, or for the sake of one's own reputation.

Therefore, Robinson himself actually has a great say in the Berlin Film Festival. Coupled with his own influence in European society, he has enough influence at the Berlin Film Festival. of.

During the award ceremony at the Berlin Film Festival, something unexpected happened, and of course he received the news immediately. After welcoming all the guests in, Robinson convened the organizing committee to discuss what should be done next. What should be paid attention to? Anyway, it is to confirm the procedure for the last time.

Of course, this program has actually been rehearsed countless times, and basically there will be no mistakes. But after confirming it for the last time, Robinson was a little unsure, and this has become a habit.

This time, Robinson was sitting in the room, but he did not call everyone to go through the process as usual. Judging from his expression, he really had something to discuss with everyone.

Because at this time Robinson frowned and said: "I just got the news that for the movie "Black Mine", his main creative staff was assigned to the first row.

Although we have decided to strongly support the movie "Black Mine" and we have decided to establish a good relationship with the Chinese market, a huge film market, but we are saying that we will take care of it first, and we will be biased in the awards. This is Things have been decided, so we will slowly establish support.

If Director Li Dongfeng Li is really worthy of cultivation, we will take care of him this time. Next time, they can be regarded as direct members of our Berlin Film Festival. Then we will slowly promote him and slowly make him famous internationally. Make a name for yourself.

However, this needs to be done step by step, so although they will definitely win the award this time, we did not arrange for them to be in the 1st row. This time, they should be in the 4th row. In one position, the director and the lead actor will be in the 3rd row, and the other people will be in the 4th row.

When we do this, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for him, because if he promotes a person too quickly, it will be a bit counterproductive. This is not our original intention. Our original intention is to slowly support him. , so, they will definitely be given awards this time, but it will not make them too conspicuous.

After all, we train direct members step by step, but this time I got news that the director and starring actor of the "Black Mine" movie crew were actually sitting in the first row. "

The next few judges were a little surprised, and they all went out of their way to discuss this issue.

Because at the award ceremony at the Berlin Film Festival, his location is fixed. It doesn’t mean that you can sit in whichever row you want to sit in. It doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want. Those are all assigned in advance based on different identities or backgrounds.

So, if you want to make temporary changes, it is almost impossible to achieve this. There are not many, so at this time, several judges on the jury were also very surprised.

Because although the movie "Black Mine" is a movie they support, in any case, they have definitely discussed it and put them in a position like row 3, row 3, row 4, just like that. Like Robinson said, this is a kind of protection for them. If a person suddenly becomes famous, it may not be a good thing. So, these things are arranged by the organizing committee.

The purpose of this Berlin Film Festival is to first let Director Li Dongfeng Li gain some fame, and then, if he can produce a good work, he will take it to the next level when the right opportunity comes up at the next edition or when.

In this case, in fact, the three major international film festivals all arrange their direct lineage in this way and become famous step by step. If director Li Dongfeng is really worthy of cultivation, his future will be very bright. But this does not mean that he will have the opportunity to be number one this time. Basically everyone is a powerful presence in the European entertainment industry or the American entertainment industry.

So what Robinson said this time made the judges very strange.

Professor Anne, who teaches literary theory at Cambridge Bridge University, is also one of the judges. She is considered a relatively conservative judge.

Therefore, she also attaches great importance to this kind of order. Who should do what according to what plan, or in what position? This is a relatively traditional order, and Professor An Ning is the defender of the more traditional order. , is conservative.

At this time, Professor An Ning said somewhat unhappily: "Is it possible that some of you are going to interfere in this matter? Didn't we say that the arranged things should not be changed casually? Even if there is a change, He also wanted to say hello to all of us in advance. This thing quietly arranged people in the first row, which was more or less flattering.

At least it is not particularly beneficial for this crew. They are not qualified to sit in the first row yet.

They don't have enough results and not enough honor to hold down the first row position, so putting them in the first row now is not a good sign, and it may harm them.

Could it be that some of you did this deliberately because they don’t like them?

Praising and flattering can also kill a future great director and star. If some of you do this deliberately, it is inappropriate. This is just an eyesore for our Berlin Film Festival.

Our goal now is to establish a good relationship with China, a large and emerging film market. So, this does not mean that we have to have a bad relationship with China. We have to improve this relationship. If you praise and kill Director Li Dongfeng, what will our counterparts in China think? We will think that we are Intentionally targeting China may be counterproductive.

So doing this is not a good sign.

I know that some of you are relatively dissatisfied with China, thinking that it is a relatively poor and backward place, but you are wrong. If you go in and observe China carefully, you will find that China is a truly emerging country. The market, its future is very huge, China's development speed is beyond your imagination.

So we have now decided to have a good relationship with China. This is a wise decision. However, there must be some of you who don’t like China and feel that there is no need to have a good relationship with China. So, you deliberately think To praise and kill them, I think it is very unworthy of the aristocratic spirit. "

At this time, Robinson looked at it and yelled, "No, no, there will be internal strife over this matter."

In fact, the jury is not a very peaceful place, because the various interests represented by the judges on the jury are indeed likely to fight. Anyway, it is not a big deal for the jury to quarrel over a small matter. This is a very strange thing. After so many years of making noise, everyone has become accustomed to it.

However, it seems that Robinson can avoid quarreling or not. After all, everyone has the same goal, which is to improve the European entertainment industry, especially the European film market. Anyway, that is the plan. Counterattack on Hollywood and that kind of thing.

Although there is not much hope that this kind of thing can be achieved, someone must realize the hope and maintain this hope. If you do not maintain this hope and do not have the confidence to challenge Hollywood, then The European film market is expected to be completely destroyed.

Therefore, Robinson is also very concerned about the unity among the judges.

Quarrel is one thing, but an unprovoked quarrel is not what Robinson saw. Professor Anne's words are reasonable, and Professor An Ning's suspicion is also reasonable.

If you are a judge at the Berlin Film Festival, there must be people who don't like China. They must have the old ideas from 100 years ago that China is a poor and backward place. These people have never even set foot on the land of China. So, it is indeed the kind of person who looks at people through colored glasses.

Therefore, at this time, Robinson immediately said: "Professor Anne, this matter is not what you think. The fact that Ye Ming and the others were able to be in the first row was not arranged by someone on our jury.

As for Ye Ming and his crew, we have actually discussed it and decided it. Normally there will be no changes, but this time Yue Ming and his crew were assigned to row 1, and that was Anthony. Family they do.

Didn’t little Anthony volunteer at our Bolin-Lenin Festival?

I have already inquired about this matter and it was little Anthony who did it. And I also found out the whole story.

I'm just telling everyone about this. Little Anthony arranged for them to be on Channel 1. This is indeed not a good result. Of course, I don't know what relationship they have with the Anthony family. This is what I want to say. .

The Andney family has always been supportive of our Berlin Electric family and is considered one of the big financiers behind our Berlin Film Festival. Regardless of the relationship between Ye Ming and his crew and the Anthony family, since there is a relationship, then at this time We can't ignore it.

No one has trouble with money. Art must be supported by money. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with us filmmakers talking about money. This is very normal, because without money, we would not even make movies. No.

So under normal circumstances, you should not offend your sponsor. As long as you adhere to certain principles, I think it is very necessary to have a good relationship with your sponsor. In this case, I think it will be peaceful next time. The Ning family will invest more money.

After all, we gave the Anthony family face, right? So, what I am calling everyone to discuss temporarily is this issue. We are not talking about how to arrange Li Ming and his crew to this position in the first row. What I am asking everyone to discuss now is just talking about it. What is the relationship between the Anthony family and Ye Ming and his crew?

If there is a relationship, what should we do? If it is said that there is no relationship, then what should we do next? There always needs to be a charter. Although I think it happened suddenly, we still need to pay attention to it. I can't decide this matter alone, right? "

At this time, the judges suddenly realized that little Antonia is the most outstanding child of the Anthony family. Of course, it is said that she is also one of the candidates for the next head of the family. She is the most promising young man in the Anthony family to inherit the family. , a pretty good young man.

The key point is that this young man is very interested in movies, which is very good news for the Berlin Film Festival. If the head of a big family is very interested in movies, he will definitely make friends with the Berlin Film Festival. Relationship.

So everyone still prefers Little Anthony. Think about it, if little Anthony intervenes, it will not be difficult to arrange Li Ming and his crew to the first row at this time. Xiao Anlong, you have the right to do this.

Well, at this time, Professor Anne, as a conservative, also wanted to get to the bottom of it. Now seeing that Robinson wanted to change the subject, how could Professor Anne let go of this opportunity?

So at this time, Professor Anning immediately said: "Of course we have to make it clear about Robinson, right? Why did little Anthony do this? According to my understanding of little Anthony, he rarely takes the initiative. He is a relatively rule-abiding person who breaks the rules. Among the younger generation of the Anthony family, little Anthony is a person who will not break the rules easily.

She has been a volunteer at our Berlin Film Festival for more than a day or two. Have you ever seen her break the rules casually?

Have you ever seen him use his family status to interfere in some matters at the film festival? It has never happened before, so in such a situation, why did Little Anthony do this? This is a question we should be concerned about. This is not an unimportant question, but a more important question.

So, I think it is better for us to understand why little Anthony did this. If Ye Ming and the others are really related to the Anthony family, then we must take appropriate care of it. "
