Netizens were not surprised when they learned that Song Hao's "The Wandering Earth" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival.
After all, this movie last year was recognized by many people.
But what makes people curious is that "The Wandering Earth" was not shortlisted for last year's Berlin Film Festival. How come last year's work was shortlisted this year?
Not only were the audience curious, but many people in the industry also expressed dissatisfaction.
Among them, Canidin, a famous director from Europe and the United States, said on Twitter: "Why was last year's work still shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival? I really don't understand."
His words also received praise from many celebrities.
Chinese netizens also know that the reason why Kanidin said this is entirely connoting the movie "The Wandering Earth".
So many people came to Kanidin’s Twitter to explain.
"Last year, not long after "The Wandering Earth" was released, the Berlin Film Festival opened, so "The Wandering Earth" had no chance to be in the running, right?"
"You have to look at the release time of "The Wandering Earth" last year and the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. They were only more than 20 days apart. How did it get shortlisted?"
"If you don't have any works of your own, don't always be filled with righteous indignation."
"You will make others think that you have no strength and like to pretend."
Netizens are also very curious whether Song Hao will attend this Berlin Film Festival.
Some fans believe that since some people in the industry are not optimistic about it, they should simply not go there. It doesn’t matter whether they win awards or not.
"Director Song, whether he wins the award or not, you are already the most awesome director in my mind."
"Yes, I think so too. When I'm going to win awards, I might as well think about the subject of my next film."
"Hahahaha, to be honest, I think those directors and works that won awards are really ugly."
"I feel the same way, I don't even know what kind of garbage it is."
But some people think that Song Hao has to attend the Berlin Film Festival.
"I think so. Of course Song Hao is going to the film festival, because the more they don't want us to go, the more we will go."
"I also felt that if I was not allowed to go, then I would go. And not only did I go, I also came back with a trophy."
"This is simply a cool plot."
While everyone was discussing, Song Hao immediately said: [I will go to the Berlin Film Festival! ~Try to get a prize back. 】
"Okay, Director Song, we support you!"
"Yes, you must have such courage!"
"Whatever it is, just go ahead and do it."
"I will come back with a Golden Bear Award, and I will be so jealous of those evil pens."
"Come on, Director Song!"
Nowadays, in the hearts of netizens, Song Hao seems to be everyone's star in the field of Chinese movies.
So everyone hopes that Song Hao can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival this time.
As for Song Hao's trip to Berlin this time, he did not bring the "Wandering Earth" team with him, mainly because they were too busy.
Just as he was flying to Berlin.
The Wolf Warriors side just happened to be released.
The box office has been set.
The total box office reached 6.31 billion.
Successfully broke the box office record of the Chinese film industry.
The actors who have participated in Wolf Warriors have also experienced a sudden increase in value because of this drama.
In particular, Jason Statham has since opened up the Chinese market.
According to him, three or four Chinese director companies have contacted him.
And the remuneration conditions are very generous.
When he learned that Song Hao had no filming plans yet, he decided to choose one of the directors to cooperate.
After all, in his mind, the only Chinese director he really wanted to cooperate with was Song Hao.
Now Song Hao has no idea of filming, so Jason Statham will consider other directors.
This time Song Hao went to Berlin in a very low-key manner.
He just took an assistant with him, then quietly got on the plane and left.
He was also relatively low-key when traveling in and out. He did not choose business class, but sat in economy class.
I originally thought that no one would notice me wearing a mask and a hat.
Unexpectedly, the two girls sitting in front looked back from time to time, and it wasn't until the back that they asked cautiously: "Are you Director Song?"
Another girl added: "Director Song Hao?"
Song Hao smiled: "I'm dressed like this, can you still recognize me?"
The two girls were extremely excited: "Of course I recognized you. Director Song, I recognized you even when you turned into ashes."
"Ah, no, no, bah, bah, bah, I mean I am your super fan."
"I love watching your movies."
"Yes, yes, I am your idol too, no, no, no, you are my fan."
Another girl, who was probably in college, became even more incoherent after seeing her idol.
She quickly took out her notebook and pen and asked tentatively: "Director Song, can I ask for your signature?"
"good."
Faced with the enthusiasm of fans, Song Hao also accepted all comers.
They all signed autographs and asked their assistant to take a group photo with them.
One of the girls was named Chen Xiaoxiao. She took out a small note, wrote her phone number and said: "Director Song, this is my phone number and my WeChat. In fact, I also have a dream of acting. If you don't If you mind, could you please let me add you, and then maybe you can pursue the career of an actor?"
Song Hao looked at the girl in front of him, she looked sweet.
But leaving your phone number directly is too obvious.
If you accept it in person, other fans will follow suit after seeing it.
So he told his assistant, "Please add her contact information."
"If you really engage in this industry in the future, just contact my assistant then." Song Hao and Chen Xiaoxiao said.
Chen Xiaoxiao thought that if she was in front of so many people, Song Hao would be unstoppable and accept it happily.
I didn’t expect that it would come out directly through the assistant’s words.
She could only nod and said: "Okay, okay, thank you Director Song."
It was precisely because after these two girls recognized Song Hao that everyone else became excited.
"Mom, mom, this director has previously filmed "Parents' Love"!! Your favorite TV series."
"Oh, is it him? Oh, young man, you are so awesome. Will you make TV series like this in the future?"
"Dad, the "Bright Sword" you watched before was filmed by him."
"Ah, such a young guy, I really didn't expect that."
"Director Song, I really love your movie "Infernal Affairs" so much. I really didn't expect you to be able to write your lines so deeply."
"The "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that was broadcast before, by the way, I also played that game, it was so fun."
"Are you going to Berlin to attend the film festival now? Is "Wolf Warrior" shortlisted?"
Song Hao answered with a smile: "I was participating in the film festival, but it wasn't "Wolf Warrior" that was shortlisted, but "The Wandering Earth."
""The Wandering Earth" is great. The quality of "The Wandering Earth" is very high. Maybe it will win an award." A middle-aged man affirmed.
It can be seen that he also watched this movie.
The short plane trip suddenly turned into a fan meeting for Song Hao.
Even the flight attendants listened carefully to what Song Hao said.
When he was about to get off the plane, he politely asked Song Hao if he could take a photo.
Faced with such young and handsome celebrities, these flight attendants naturally refused to give up the opportunity to make acquaintances.
So when taking pictures, some flight attendants even stood next to Song Hao, and their behavior and behavior were slightly ambiguous.
Some bold ones even handed over his business card directly, saying that if he took an international flight in the future, he would call her in advance and he would have someone help make arrangements.
Faced with such temptation, Song Hao just responded politely.
Then it was all handed over to the assistant.
After all, there are many good-looking women in his company.
There are all types.
Of course, he didn't bother to do these things.
After all, Song Hao believes that feelings with purpose are all about business.
What he hates most is talking about business.
After the plane landed, it was already night.
Song Hao and others also arranged to stay.
At noon the next day, the president of the Berlin International Film Association called Song Hao and said that the car would be waiting at the door of the hotel in an hour.
The awards ceremony will begin at 2 p.m.
The awards ceremony was almost entirely filled with international directors and actors.
This time, it is not just Song Hao who represents Chinese directors, but also two new directors.
The movies they make are also sponsored by foreign investors.
So the possibility of being shortlisted is much higher.
Originally, reporters were not very enthusiastic on the red carpet.
After all, I was a little tired after shooting for so long.
But when Song Hao slowly walked out of the crowd, the reporters suddenly became agitated.
"This is Director Song Hao from China!!"
"Is this director Song Hao?"
"Oh my god, why are you so young and handsome?"
"I heard that it only took him four and a half years from first-time director to present day."
"Did it only take him four and a half years? Why do I feel like he's made so many movies?"
"Indeed, I can basically make 2 to 3 movies a year, and I will also make TV series."
"He's just a workaholic."
Song Hao walked towards the red carpet at the award ceremony and noticed that Chen Xiaoxiao and the others who met on the plane yesterday were also there.
They waved to Song Hao, and then took the volunteer cards on their chests to explain their intentions.
Song Hao also smiled, nodded and prepared to leave.
While the reporters were taking random pictures of Song Hao, two big men watching the show began to complain.
"Why are there still Easterners here?"
"Oh my God, is this from Sakura Country or South Korea?"
"It can't be from China."
"Oh, it's impossible. How could a Chinese director come to the Berlin Film Festival?"
Since they were speaking in German, some reporters and media outlets were unaware of what was being said.
However, Chen Xiaoxiao and other international students all heard it.
Chen Xiaoxiao was very angry. She pointed at the two big men and said, "Why can't a Chinese director come to the Berlin Film Festival? Let me tell you, he is from China, and his name is Song Hao."
After one of the big men heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, my God, our country's film festival is really lonely. It actually allows Chinese directors to participate in the film festival."
"I think so too." Another big man sneered.
At this time, some reporters who understood German also argued: "Hey, you can't say that. Directors from China, you just don't respect them."
"So what if you don't respect him?" The big man frowned: "Can he really win the Berlin Film Festival award?"
At this time, the police guarding the scene rushed over immediately.
They said somewhat sternly: "Hey, you have to get out of here!!"
"Forget it, bro, let's go have a drink, this film festival sucks anyway," another person quipped.
Just as they were about to leave, Song Hao suddenly walked up to them.
This shocked the two people.
Song Hao glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao and said, "You translate a sentence for me. Just say: Even if I can't win the award, it's better than you standing outside and watching me walk into the award ceremony. You'd better go back and drink your Munich beer." Bar."
Chen Xiaoxiao translated it intact.
This made those two people extremely angry.
But the police on the side immediately escorted them away.
Before leaving, one of them laughed loudly: "A Chinese director wants to win an award?! It's really wishful thinking."
Chen Xiaoxiao and other international students, as fans of Song Hao, naturally comforted them: "Director Song, it's okay. It's okay if you can't win the award. These people are just talkative and their lives are unsatisfactory."
Song Hao smiled and then said: "It's not necessarily that I can't win the prize."
After saying that, he walked into the awards hall.
During the next two hours of the awards ceremony, many films won awards.
Many directors and artists also took the stage to give acceptance speeches.
The assistant on the sidelines became increasingly nervous because there were not many awards left for "The Wandering Earth".
Currently, only the Silver Bear Award and the Golden Bear Award have not been announced in the main competition unit.
She is now clasping her hands together, hoping that "The Wandering Earth" can win one of the awards.
However, the next second, the Silver Bear Award was announced.
Unfortunately, it's not "The Wandering Earth".
The assistant's mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
In fact, she originally thought that it would be a great thing if "The Wandering Earth" could win the Silver Bear Award.
As for the Golden Bear Award, the assistant did not think that these foreigners could award such an important award to Song Hao.
Seeing that Song Hao still looked calm, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Song Hao continued to look at the stage, looking confident.
As time goes by, the host no longer sells off his words.
He was playing the final shortlisted films in the main competition unit and said to everyone: "The film that won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture this year is among these films. Can you guess which one it is?"
Among dozens of films, the name "The Wandering Earth" suddenly appeared.
This also made the assistant excited for a while.
But she also saw that the other films were all big productions shot by internationally renowned directors, and it was really difficult to win the top spot among these films.
For a while, she didn't hold out much hope.
And those international directors are also very confident, thinking that they can win the Golden Bear Award this time.
As for competitors, they did not take Song Hao's "The Wandering Earth" seriously.
Last year, the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival had been awarded to "The Wandering Earth".
It’s impossible that the Golden Bear Award at this year’s Berlin Film Festival will be awarded to “The Wandering Earth,” right? !
Isn’t this just a disguised explanation to everyone that the Berlin Film Festival is lower than the Venice Film Festival? !
These international directors believe that the organizing committee will not make such a stupid mistake.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the host shouted: "The winner of this year's Golden Bear Award for Best Film is - "The Wandering Earth". Let us congratulate the director from China, Song Hao, for coming on stage to accept the award!!"
For a moment, the entire audience was stunned.
On the other side, in the office of the Chinese Ministry of Maritime Affairs.
Director Zhao took the latest year's film and television assignments and thought of Song Hao again.
