No.40 The [-]th Berlin Film Festival, and finally "The Pianist on the Sea" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

The second grand jury special award was awarded to the American film "The Thin Red Line". Although the cult film "Infatuation" did not win the film award, both the hero and heroine won the best actor award.

The original intention of the Berlin Film Festival is to support the revival of the German film industry, so the localization features have been very prominent from the very beginning.

Although the scope of awards is for films from all over the world, at this session, several important awards were awarded to non-German films and actors from other countries, which undoubtedly seemed a bit special.

Not to mention the best picture, at least in the leading actor and actress awards, Michael Quest in "The Shape of Night", Maria Schillard and Julianne Kohler in "Amy and Gagoya", They are excellent German filmmakers, but they have lost out to the French and British who have entered Hollywood.

Especially Marguerite Adjani, a talented actor whose acting career has been too smooth, is also too young.

So in Germany, people in the film industry have criticized the Berlin Film Festival for not supporting domestic films and local newcomers.

As early as 1951, when the Berlin Film Festival was founded less than half a century ago, conflicts with German filmmakers often occurred because of these matters.

In fact, the veteran Venice and Cannes Film Festivals are not without these problems.

Even if the major film festivals face the international scene, they still need to give consideration to supporting and developing their own film industry.

This year, after being questioned, the judges of the Berlin Film Festival publicly and strongly stated——

The film festival is not politics, and it cannot be run by politicians. All the award-winning filmmakers this year deserve their names.

In fact, under the three major jury systems in Europe, the awards themselves are very much influenced by personal opinions.

Some American media once even claimed that the jury of these European film festivals simply gathered in an office to quarrel, and whoever wins the quarrel will have a say in that film festival.

All in all, an award is a gift, and it can be given to whomever the jury wants.

We should be thankful that Adjani contributed amazing acting skills in "Infatuation". Otherwise, at the age of just 20 years old, she would have successively won the Academy Award, the French Cesar Award and the Berlin Silver Bear Award. Although it will be praised as a genius who can only be born once in a century, it will inevitably be questioned that the public relations are strong and he is too eager for quick success.

Even though the major film festivals have always followed the rules of the game of "recommend talents without avoiding relatives, and frequently share pork", but when you are too outstanding, you will undoubtedly be criticized.

At this time, it was naturally time for the PR team to show their shrewd skills. After all, 20.00% of the so-called sky-high salaries of Hollywood stars were paid to the marketing PR team.

If the public relations team can't reverse the momentum in the shortest possible time, then there's no need to stay in Hollywood, delusional to become a big shot who can turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain.

Margo herself, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be affected too much.

Ten days after the end of the Berlin Film Festival, she joined the crew of "Rodin's Lover" as the first producer and starring role, preparing to perform this biopic about a talented female sculptor.

But before the official launch, the main film creators, including Harvey Weinstein, were in their offices in Paris, discussing the translation of the film——

The French original title of this film is "Camille Claude" (Camille Claude), which is intuitive and concise.

However, in the media reports of various countries, some of them adopted translations such as "Rodin's Lover" or "Rodin and Camille".

Marguerite sat at the main seat, "I hope that when the film is officially released, all translations will be changed to "Camille Claudel"."

Bruno Nutan, the film's director and screenwriter, obviously agrees with Adjani's opinion, "Camier has been stamped with Rodin's mark all her life, and this biopic that belongs to her should not cast Rodin's shadow anymore. "

For Camille Claudel, the words "Rodin's Lover" are ruthless and cruel to the extreme.

From the point of view of distribution and box office, compared with titles that are completely intuitive biography, of course, those slightly ambiguous movie titles are more eye-catching, but since the main creators so request, Harvey Weinstein does not have to play the villain.

After all, the reason why Miramax Films invested in "Camille Claudel" is entirely because of the charm of this film upstart.

Otherwise, Harvey Weinstein, who is busy using "Shakespeare in Love" to overthrow "Saving Private Ryan", would not fly to Paris to discuss the No.20 Oscar in just 70 days Matters related to "Camille Claudel".

"Now that the title translation issue has been resolved, let's talk about the sets, costumes, and various classical music scores," Marguerite obviously put all her energy into the film, "except for the classical music by Debussy and Schubert. Besides, I would love to have Gabriel Yard on the score."

Mr. Gabriel Yard, who has contributed wonderful soundtracks to "The Lover", "The English Patient" and "City of Angels", is full of the spirit of classical romanticism and is gradually becoming a master figure in the field of film soundtracks. He has won Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys and many other recognitions.

As a biographical film about a French genius sculptor in the last century, it is obviously extremely important to have an exquisite classical temperament.

All in all, Adjani wants to make this biopic the best it can be.

Not only because this is her first film as a producer, but more importantly, she hopes that Camille Claudel, who was buried by the times and prejudice, will get the praise she deserves.

Not only that, he was dubbed "Rodin's lover" ambiguously and frivolously.

When the meeting ended, the lights of Paris outside the window were just beginning to shine, and Harvey Weinstein drove to the airport, preparing to fly back to Los Angeles to continue lobbying for "Shakespeare in Love".

Margaret did not go back together. Even now, the entire Hollywood newspaper industry is emptying pages for her, sending out interview invitations one after another.

But she chose to stay in Paris, for the Cesar Award a few days later, and the official start of "Camille Claudel".

In order to get more involved in the role, Margot is driving alone to the Pein Garden in the suburbs of Paris.

It was once bought by Rodin, and Camille used to make sculptures for Rodin day and night in that so-called home.

The suburban neighborhood of Paris where the Perin Garden is located was once the residence of many French artists.

Every building here is exceptionally beautiful, full of civilization and classical atmosphere. Since its construction, it has been planned and constructed as a cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation, with the unique artistic atmosphere of the artists.

To Margot's surprise, the neighborhood is well maintained, perhaps thanks to Paris' policies——

Buildings of any age, unless they are in danger, can only be rebuilt and repaired, and cannot be demolished at will.

But now most of them are empty, and they are used as holiday residences by the descendants of painters and sculptors.

Some have been resold, such as the Pean Garden that Margo wanted to visit today. I heard that the owner was replaced by a descendant of the French painter Guinère many years ago.

As early as two months ago, the crew contacted the current owner of the building, but the other party directly rejected the shooting request, so the crew had to find another shooting location.

It is estimated that Margo will not be able to enter the Peian Garden today, so she just wandered around, trying to find some ancient traces of the past.

There are beautiful natural scenery and French retro-style architecture here, which can almost be called a visual feast.

But when she stood outside the main entrance of Pei'an Garden, she couldn't help frowning when she saw the gilded surname of the current owner on the wall.

— Holmes?

At this moment, the heavy copper gate in front of Margo slowly opened, revealing a tall and thin figure.

He was pale and impassive, with a kind of gleam in his beautiful green eyes.

Margaret blinked subconsciously, "Pink cat ear curls?"

The tall man in front of her turned out to be the British consulting detective who had the same appearance as Strange, and at the same time wore a curly black hair.

Sherlock bent slightly to get close to her, with a squinted expression, like a big cat observing food——

"It turned out to be the impolite Miss France. Your speech at the Berlin Film Festival was really interesting."

Margo obviously didn't understand what he was saying, "Why are you here?"

Consulting the detective's gray jewel-like eyes, clear and beautiful, "My grandmother was the sister of the French artist Gilnet."

Margaret frowned, "Could it be that you are the current owner of Pei'an Garden?"

The corner of Sherlock's mouth slowly pulled into a smile, and then, a gorgeous subwoofer sounded in Margot's ear——

"You'd like to come in for a tour, and even convince me to accept a filming request, but I'm not one of those idiots you play around with unless—"
