Japanese big things

Christmas has just ended, the festive atmosphere has not dissipated, various celebration facilities and props have not been removed, the festive colorful flags still remain in every corner of the city, and the afterglow of the festival is still lingering in people's hearts.

.

Immediately following, there will be another major festival that is getting closer and closer, that is, the New Year, which represents a new beginning. For Western countries, it is a grand celebration comparable to Christmas, in addition to the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

In addition, it is also an important moment for family reunion.

Pedestrians on the streets are hurrying, vehicles rolling over the ground are speeding away, the neon lights of various shops are flashing, various signs and slogans of special offers and discounts are all over the streets, and the city is filled with noisy noises all the time.

margin.

Laughter has become the mainstream of the city, and various words of blessing to each other are heard from time to time in someone's mouth, and then attracts an enthusiastic response from the other party. The festive smell spreads wantonly, and even the air seems to be contaminated with the same smell.
For most people, the recent period is the most beautiful period of the year. Christmas and New Year come one after another, making the two grand festivals combined because of their similarity. The long holiday makes everyone

You can enjoy various celebration activities, or you can gather with your loved ones and immerse yourself in this joyful atmosphere.

However, for Dieter Kosli, who is the film selection director of the Berlin Film Festival, enjoying the festival is just a luxurious dream. Although he is in this city shrouded in a festive atmosphere, he is extremely busy at work

, you are destined to not be able to enjoy this happiness.

After arriving at the Film Palace, Dieter Kosli first stopped and stamped his feet, which made his cold and slightly stiff legs feel better. Then, he reached out and tightened the coat he was wearing so that the warmth could be absorbed.

Keep it for a long time.

Even after entering the sealed movie palace, which is filled with warm heating, under the influence of the cold air from the North Sea and Scandinavia, you can still feel the ubiquitous chill, dry and cold.

.

After walking through the short aisle of the Cinema Palace and going around the corner, Dieter Kosli quickly arrived at a conference room on the second floor. The conference room was not large, so when it was full of people,

, there is a feeling that it is completely stuffed, so that it seems a little cramped.

"Good morning, everyone."

After stopping to scan around the colleagues in the conference room, Dieter Kosli first said hello as usual. Although he was very familiar with them because of long time together, the necessary greetings still help to bring him closer.

Everyone’s relationship.

"Good morning, Mr. Cosley."

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Cosley."

Soon, everyone responded enthusiastically one after another, and the originally dull atmosphere in the conference room became a little more cheerful. It was like a calm pool of water, and a small stone was suddenly thrown into it, and then

It’s like there are layers of ripples.

"The holidays are approaching. Although everyone can't enjoy the holidays to the fullest, I still want to wish everyone a happy holiday and hope that everyone can have a good time."

Stepping to the upper seat of the conference table and taking a seat, Dieter Kosli showed a kind smile on his face and continued enthusiastically: "Of course, the premise is that we need to do a good job in selecting the films."

Dieter Kosli's little joke was very effective. Everyone in the conference room responded with friendly smiles, making the cheerful atmosphere in the conference room more relaxed. It seemed that even the ubiquitous chill was suppressed.

Dispersed.

Everyone here is a senior film selection expert. They have worked at the Berlin Film Festival for a long time, so they are naturally a group of people who understand the righteousness. Although it is a bit regretful for everyone that they cannot enjoy the festival to the fullest, for the sake of the work of the film festival,

It’s not that I can’t understand it.

"Okay, let's get to the point."

After a few polite words, Dieter Kosli ended the chat in a timely manner, and then switched the topic to business. He looked at everyone in the conference room and said in a very formal tone: "Let's report on the selection first.

Let’s summarize the progress of the film work together.”

"Then, let me go first, Mr. Cosley."

Sitting in the seat below Dieter Kosli was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with thinning hair and signs of baldness. He first raised his hand to signal, then stretched out his hand to hold the frame of the glasses, and stood up from his seat.

Get up.

"Okay, then you can start first."

Dieter Kosli's face was filled with a friendly smile. He nodded gently to the other party and agreed to the other party's self-recommendation. Since someone took the initiative to report, it was naturally the best to avoid him having to do the roll call.
"So far, the area I am responsible for has screened about 30 films."

He buried his head in reading the information in his hand, glanced around at everyone present, and reported in a serious tone: "Although there are many films signed up, our time is limited, and it is impossible to watch every film from beginning to end.

End. Therefore, if a film cannot interest us in just a few minutes, then the film is a failure and it is inevitable that it will be eliminated."

His words were recognized by everyone present, and they nodded unanimously. Although this kind of treatment is very unfair for many films that have signed up for the film festival, there is no absolute fairness in the world. Even if these

Senior film selection experts want to work hard, but time does not allow it.

After all, film selection experts only have so much time, and the number of films that need to be watched is very huge. If you don’t want to be buried in the vast ocean of films, you must show enough highlights in the limited viewing time to attract the attention of the film selection experts.

Our attention and attention.

If you fail to do this, it will lead to failure and elimination, which is normal. Since you have chosen to participate in the film festival, you must be mentally prepared and accept the corresponding game rules of the film festival.

"You're right. If I could watch every film one by one, then the film festival wouldn't need to be held every year, it would just be held every two or three years."

Dieter Kosli smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement. Thousands of films are registered for the film festival every year. Even based on the most conservative one-hour film length, all the film selection experts of the film festival

If we gather together and watch all the videos from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it is impossible to watch them all.

Of course, it is impossible for the film festival to do this kind of thing, and can only try to make choices. The films of ordinary applicants go through the formal channels, and they participate in the screening step by step starting from the preliminary selection. The quality of the film ultimately determines the outcome.<

/p>

As for special participating films, for example, if they are recommended by senior directors, or if they are well-known directors who sign up for the competition, or if they are direct directors trained by the film festival... these films with backgrounds or connections, of course, need special treatment, and

Must express a serious attitude.

"Now, let me report."

After the first person finished his report, the second person got up and started doing the report seriously. Although the areas he was responsible for were different, the general situation was actually the same. It was just that the number of films screened out was more or less.

Or less.

As everyone completed the reporting work in turn, Dieter Kosli summarized everyone's situation, and finally had a clearer understanding and judgment of the overall situation. Then, he reviewed the number of films, genres and styles, etc.

Various aspects were evaluated one by one, and some of his ideas and suggestions for improvement were put forward.

"Okay, let's move on to the next topic."

Soon, Dieter Kosli ended this topic and was about to start a new topic. He glanced at the crowd and said in a relaxed tone: "Everyone, let's talk about those special films. I don't know if there are any.

Don’t you have any works that surprise everyone? Bring it up first and let’s discuss it together.”

Although those special films have received very special treatment, it is undeniable that those films with backgrounds or connections, whether in terms of finished film quality or style, are far superior to ordinary contestants.
Therefore, the film festival also attaches great importance to these special films, hoping that some outstanding works will emerge from these special films to add luster to the film festival. After all, the quality of these special films is at least guaranteed.

If we really all rely on the works of ordinary registered contestants, the designation of the film festival will be greatly affected. When there are frequent masterpieces, it may be better and can support the scene. If they all collapse, the consequences can be imagined.
"Let me mention this issue."

Someone raised his hand to signal, and then stood up. He first nodded to Dieter Kosli, then glanced back and forth at the colleagues present, and said in a calm tone: "Recently recommended by Japanese director Koji Wakamatsu

I received a film, which is said to be the work of a new director who is not yet eighteen years old."

Facing the attention of everyone, he was at the center of the focus without any panic. His calm expression remained calm and he spoke eloquently: "We can focus on promoting this new director. First, this director is very young.

It can demonstrate our Berlin Film Festival’s determination to value young directors, thereby attracting more young directors to lean toward us. Secondly, the quality of this director’s films is excellent, comparable to many well-known directors, and his future prospects are limitless.”

"You mean, train him to be our direct director?"

Dieter Kosli looked at the other party intently, and he understood the underlying meaning of the other party's words. However, he had some doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Is his film really that good?"
