Just when Hong Kong audiences were thriving for the gambling saints, the Red Sorghum director Zhang Yimou, who won the highest prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in West Germany, starring Gong Li, Jiang Wen and others returned from West Germany.

Various domestic media are reporting on the news that Red Sorghum won the award, and the domestic release of the movie is also in full swing.

There is no way, who made Red Sorghum win the grand prize? Not only did he win the Golden Bear Award, but he also won the International Alliance Art Film Award, the City News Reader Jury Award, and the New Film Forum Award. Although the latter three are far inferior to the Golden Bear Award, they are also awards from the Berlin Film Festival. Moreover, the jury award and the New Film Forum Award represent the recognition of Red Sorghum by local media in Berlin. It can be won by the judges unanimously and the media to win the Golden Bear Award. This is not easy.

After returning to China, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li were enthusiastically picked up by relevant departments and filmmakers, and they arranged an interview immediately after picking up the plane.

The sensational effect of "Red Sorghum" at the West Berlin International Film Festival marks the first milestone in which mainland Chinese films have entered the forefront of world films.

Moreover, red sorghum defeated the heroes, overwhelming the formerly favored Soviet film "Female Political Commissar" and heavyweight films from the United States, East Germany and other countries. It won the unanimous support of 11 judges and won the "Golden Bear Award" in one fell swoop.

In Berlin, the premiere of "Red Sorghum" stunned the audience at the festival. The applause proved that the audience's fanaticism exceeded that of Soviet films. It was the first time that two long applauses appeared at this festival." The next day, the Morning News, a major daily newspaper in West Berlin, described the scene of the festival as follows: "The audience was surprised and stared at the screen. They were not only shocked by the strong picture language, but also confused by the rough color of exotic style and emotions. Inside and outside the festival, there were praises for "Red Sorghum", which made everyone feel admiration for Chinese directors."

So much so that "the competition is coming to an end, and people are reluctant to watch the last few films. They are looking forward to the phenomenon of awards ceremony. After the voting for the festival on February 23, the chairman of the jury announced in a bright voice: "The Chinese movie "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award", and long applause broke out in the venue again, and the warm atmosphere at the festival reached the extreme.

These are all very propaganda points. The winning of Red Sorghum is a filmmaker for China, which urgently needs to gain international recognition during this period. It is a great victory at the cultural publicity level and must be well promoted and reported.

In an interview, Zhang Yimou said: "Red Sorghum" is a legend with mythology. The whole film praises human nature and vigorous vitality in a mysterious color. Therefore, praising life is the theme of this film. It is to praise life through the shaping of the characters' personalities, praise the endless vitality of life, praise the freedom and expansion of life."

But obviously the general public does not understand the meaning of these topics.

On the day Gong Li and the others came back, Qiao Feng took a plane from Qingdao to Peking to pick up the plane. As a result, there were too many people picking up the plane. Moreover, there were so many media, Qiao Feng didn't squeeze in and couldn't squeeze in. He could only wait until they accepted the interview before he could get in touch with the depressed Gong Li.

Qiao Feng agreed to pick up the plane on the phone, but Gong Li didn't see Qiao Feng's figure after getting off the plane. He thought Qiao Feng hadn't come. He secretly felt that he was not valued and felt very sad. He was also absent-minded when he was interviewed, and he didn't look like the movie he participated in was awarded at all. When the reporters also dispersed after seeing Qiao Feng who suddenly appeared, Gong Li's heart was hit by the surprise of losing and tears came down.

Afterwards, the two realized their respective wishes in the hotel. She wanted to sleep with him, and he wanted to sleep with her.

The next day, the two did not rush back to Shandong. Gong Li participated in two interviews. After that, Qiao Feng and her had a fun in Peking. In the evening, they watched Red Sorghum in a cinema near Dongdan.

This is also a domestic feature, that is, although the system sometimes looks rigid, it is often easy to achieve goals that other countries cannot achieve.

Just like the release of Red Sorghum, if it is placed in the United States and other countries, you have to wait for the screening to be released. The theaters arrange when you will be when you are. No matter how big the award you win, it is impossible to squeeze other movies apart and let you go first.

However, there is no problem in China. If you win the award there, you can arrange screenings immediately. Although it cannot be released nationwide, big cities can still get a certain copy of the screening as quickly as possible.

Gong Li is the starring actor, so he has naturally watched the movies a long time ago. She watched a lot when she was in Berlin. She went to the cinema mainly to stay with Qiao Feng. After all, she had to care about other people's eyes when she was outside. It was not open at this time. If the two of them were too close, they would attract the attention of others. But when they entered the cinema, it would be as bright as you want, pull, hug, hug, as long as it was not too high-profile and attract attention, it would be fine.

As for Qiao Feng, he mainly wanted to feel the atmosphere of mainland cinemas at this time and listen to how mainland audiences viewed Red Sorghum at this time.

Then, when the movie was put into the scene of the sorghum field, the entire cinema was breathing and exclaiming excitedly.

No matter what Zhang Yimou wants to express in the movie, ordinary audiences don’t care. What they care about is very vulgar, such as this sorghum field.

Listening to those breathing and excited calls, Qiao Feng felt that for those who were still very simple at this time, perhaps this scene in the sorghum field would be the initial sexual enlightenment of many young men and women.

When it comes to love, Westerners say, "Give me a bed." But Chinese people say, "Distance produces beauty." Chinese people have always been "shy roses bloom quietly", and are ashamed to say love, not to mention sex. In the 17 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my country was rejected by the love consciousness in literary and artistic creation. Therefore, we cannot see the love between Wu Qionghua and Hong Changqing in "The Red Detachment of Women"; "Youth in the War" should have love, but was squeezed out; while "Early Spring February" was severely criticized for its petty bourgeois mood. Later generations watched the movie characters at this time, whether it was Lin Daojing, Wang Cheng, Li Xiangyang and Li Xia, although they were all iron-clad heroes, due to the lack of emotional description, they were too out of reality and their images were dry, so they could only be romantic heroes. In these 17 years, Chinese romance films were almost blank.
