Japanese big things

Because Dieter Kosli, the film selection director of the Berlin Film Festival, was present, although the judges still had some disputes, they all suppressed their anger and managed to have a calm discussion. However, this kind of calm discussion

The atmosphere is just like a thin film covering the surface. It feels like if you poke it just a little, a big hole might leak out.

Time passed quietly, and the sky outside gradually darkened, as if someone had lowered the brightness of the light. The neon lights on the roadside were also lit up one after another, like blooming flowers, with different colors.

Blooming.

In the conference room, the ongoing discussion was coming to an end. After Isabella Rossellini announced that the meeting was temporarily over, there was a noise of packing up things in the entire conference room.

The originally dull and depressing atmosphere was relieved a lot. There was a bit of competition before, but now everyone has become a harmonious scene, talking and laughing.

With a gentle smile on his face, Dieter Kosli politely sent the judges away one after another. Only when it was the turn of the jury president, Isabella Rossellini, he stopped her.

.

"Isabella, please wait a moment, I have something I want to communicate with you."

"What?"

Just after packing her things, Isabella Rossellini was about to follow the other judges and leave the conference room when she was suddenly stopped by Dieter Cosley. She subconsciously stopped and turned her head.

He looked at Dieter Cosley and asked in a rather curious tone: "Dieter, what's the matter?"

"Well, it's about the shortlisted films in the competition."

Glancing at the figure who had just disappeared at the door of the conference room, Dieter Kosli couldn't help but subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only he and Isabella Rossellini were left in the conference room. Just in case.

, he moved closer to Isabella Rossellini and lowered his voice: "I want to have a good talk with you."

"Okay, let's go outside and talk."

After looking at Dieter Kosli's hesitant expression, Isabella Rossellini agreed casually and took the initiative to find a place to discuss outside the Cinema Palace. Although they were the only ones in the conference room.

There are two people, but after all, there are ears between walls. If someone eavesdrops, it will be more troublesome.

So, Isabella Rossellini and Dieter Kosli left the Cinema Palace one after another and came to a popular coffee shop nearby. Because the environment of this coffee shop was very good and the coffee tasted great.

It’s not bad, so the staff of the film festival also prefer to have a drink here. Although Dieter Kosli is the film selection director, this hobby is no different from that of ordinary staff.

"Let's follow the old rules. However, add one more cup and have two cups of the same thing."

As soon as he sat down at his seat, the waiter from the coffee shop came over. Dieter Kosli first said hello skillfully, smiled at the other person, and then put on the posture of an experienced driver, casually

Explain your needs.

"No problem, Mr. Cosley."

There was a smile on the waiter's face, and his enthusiastic tone seemed to be trying to please Dieter Kosli, giving people a somewhat flattering feeling. Obviously, he was also very familiar with this regular customer of the coffee shop.

"Please wait a moment, the coffee you need will be delivered soon."

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, his eyes blurred. When he took a closer look, Dieter Kosli had put his hand in front of him, and what he held in his hand was a banknote worth 10 euros.<

/p>

This made the waiter extremely pleasantly surprised, and a look of excitement appeared on his face involuntarily. He reached out and took the hard-earned tip, his body remained stiff for a few seconds, and then he thanked Dieter.

·Cosley said: "Mr. Cosley, thank you for your generosity and wish you a happy life."

Generally speaking, tips in Western countries are generally about 5% to 10% of the consumption. Since the consumption level in coffee shops is usually not high, the tips that waiters can receive are naturally lower. Dieter

·Although the tip of 10 euros given by Cosley is not a lot, it is already considered a very high tip in a coffee shop.

"Dieter, you gave me a lot."

Seeing the extremely excited waiter walking further and further away, Isabella Rossellini looked back at Dieter Cosley and said with a hint of ridicule: "I finally understand why you are so popular.

”

"What's wrong? It only takes a little money to put a person in a good mood for a whole day. It's worth it."

Dieter Cosley glanced sideways at Isabella Rossellini, the raised corners of his mouth revealed his joyful mood, and responded with a somewhat noncommittal tone: "Although money is important, its value should also be reflected.

."

"Dieter, you really haven't changed at all."

Isabella Rossellini smiled and shook her head, not knowing what to say for a while. Then, the two of them chatted about some interesting anecdotes about the industry with cheerful faces.

After some chatting and laughing, Isabella Rossellini took the initiative to switch the topic to business. Her expression calmed down and she said: "Okay, let's talk business. Dieter, you

Is there anything you want to say?"

"It's about the shortlisted films."

After a few seconds of silence, Dieter Kosli organized his words, and then replied to Isabella Rossellini: "In the final evaluation, you should pay more attention to the Japanese director Masahiro Nakamura."

p>

"What do you mean?"

Dieter Kosli's words were a bit cryptic, and Isabella Rossellini didn't understand for a while. She asked: "Why should we pay attention to Japanese directors?"

"Let's put it this way, we plan to train him to become a direct director of the Berlin Film Festival."

It is estimated that Isabella Rossellini would not be able to understand the twists and turns without explaining the matter. So Dieter Kosli said frankly: "This is a new director with great potential."
"Very potential?"

Suddenly hearing this comment from Dieter Kosli, Isabella Rossellini was a little surprised. As the film selection director of the Berlin Film Festival, Dieter Kosli has a very high vision, which can make him feel

A newcomer with great potential, his level must not be underestimated.

"Don't look at me like that. I had the same idea as you at the beginning."

Seeing that Isabella Rossellini's expression was still the same as before, Dieter Kosli couldn't help laughing and said: "When they proposed to train this young Japanese director, I was also skeptical. After all, a new director

Usually the level is very limited, even if there are some outstanding points, it is difficult to cover up the overall shortcomings."

"You are right. No matter how potential a new director is, it will be difficult for him to grow up if he has not been trained."

Isabella Rossellini agreed very much with Dieter Cosli's words and nodded subconsciously. However, she knew that Dieter Cosli had not finished speaking, so she resumed her listening state.<

/p>

"However, this new Japanese director is different. His level is completely beyond the level of ordinary newcomers. If you don't deliberately point out that he is a newcomer, just looking at his film works, you will think that he is a well-known director.

Director's work."

Dieter Kosli smiled, and then continued to add: "Believe me, as long as you have read his works, you will definitely agree with my judgment."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see. I hope his works can make me feel the strength you mentioned."

Although I believe that Dieter Kosli would not arbitrarily approve of a new director, the overly complimentary words still made Isabella Rossellini suspicious.

It’s normal for a new director to have potential, and it’s not surprising if he has the ability. But if his ability is comparable to that of a well-known director, then that’s a bit too much to praise, right?

However, Isabella Rossellini did not bring it up in person. She believed that Dieter Kosli had his own considerations and would not praise a new Japanese director so highly for no reason.

"Don't worry, you will never be disappointed."

Faced with Isabella Rossellini's slightly doubtful expression, Dieter Kosley confidently gave her assurance. If he didn't have enough confidence, Dieter Kosley wouldn't dare to ask Isabella Rossellini easily.

Rossellini said these things privately.

After all, the Berlin Film Festival also needs to pay attention to its impact. Such small and private actions can easily be regarded as behind-the-scenes operations, which in turn leads to the emergence of so-called shady rumors.

For the Berlin Film Festival, negative information such as shady rumors must be avoided. Otherwise, the credibility of the Berlin Film Festival will be questioned, which will cause the festival's influence to be damaged.

If you want to avoid this bad situation, you first need to have unquestionable quality of the films involved. As the saying goes, you have to be strong to strike with iron. Only by being able to withstand the test of public attention can it be better.

To deal with various doubtful rumors.

It just so happens that the film "A Long Day" has an unquestionable high level and quality, and it can fully withstand many tests.

"Then I will take a serious look at what the film that makes you so confident looks like."

From Dieter Cosley's tone, Isabella Rossellini felt the other party's strong confidence. As a result, Isabella Rossellini, who was originally curious, became more and more interested.

p>

Time passed quietly, and a cup of coffee passed, and Dieter Kosli and Isabella Rossellini reached a tacit understanding. As long as there is no problem with the quality of the Japanese director's film, then his work will be promoted to become the Berlin Film Festival.

Winning.
