"What did you say? Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee?" The Class 99 directing students in the classroom were all shocked.

In shock.

It's excitement.

The graduation short films that everyone shot were sent to world-renowned film festivals for selection. They all felt that their works would amaze the world and they would be lucky to win awards.

Berlin International Film Festival!

The three top film festivals in the world.

Being selected is already quite an honor.

If you can win a prize.

It must be the highest honor.

The recently popular movie "Hero" has a box office of more than 200 million, accounting for a quarter of the total domestic box office for the whole year. "Hero" has been evaluated by the media as the first domestic blockbuster.

"Hero" director Zhang Yingmou.

That year, he won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film "Red Sorghum".

He became the first director in China to win the highest award at three major international film festivals. He became famous in one fell swoop and achieved the title of national director.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, was different from these students. His expression did not change, so it was expected that he would be selected.

Three major film festivals.

The Venice Film Festival focuses on art and avant-garde films.

The Cannes Film Festival focuses on films that combine business and art.

The Berlin Film Festival pays most attention to politics and society.

The movie "The Blind Shaft" reflects real problems very well and will definitely be selected. Besides, Lu Chen's goal is to win the Golden Bear Award.

"Yes, the Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee." Yang Lei asked everyone to quiet down, "I know you all want to ask who it is addressed to, but I don't know either."

"The letter has been handed over to the dean, but I can be sure of one thing. It is sent to our 99-level students in the directing department. Our tutor has been called to the office by the dean."

Now everyone in the classroom was even more excited.

As a directing student at school.

Different directors who enter the film and television industry do not consider box office and ratings when shooting their works.

These directors who are still students all have great ambitions in their hearts.

Photographed works.

Whether it looks good or not is another matter.

Art is most important.

So I felt that I must have been selected.

Lu Chen looked at the expressions of his classmates and didn't want to offend them. These students were very ambitious and the works they produced were all on par with world classic films.

Of course, most of them are imitating others.

Of course I understand.

Still a student.

Wenqing is seriously ill.

It will be fine if you go out into society and go through a few hardships.

"The dean is here!" At this time, a group of people appeared outside the classroom.

The leader is Zhang Huijun, the dean of the Peking Film Academy who just took office this year.

Behind are the school tutors, most of whom are fifth-generation directors in China.

This group of school leaders just came in.

Students from various departments of Beijing Film Academy were already gathered outside the classroom.

As soon as the letter from the Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee was mailed to the receiving room, the news spread throughout the college. Everyone wanted to see which directing student was selected for the top Berlin Film Festival.

Especially students from the Beijing Film and Television Acting Department.

Everyone wants to get to know this selected director.

Nowadays, the country has only joined the World Trade Organization not long ago, and everyone still worships foreign countries and thinks that foreign countries are good no matter what.

In the film and television industry.

The highest honor is the three major international film festivals.

Can be selected.

No need to win a prize.

There will definitely be no shortage of investment for future films.

Therefore, students from the acting department thought that by getting closer to the selected directors, they would be able to film films with high artistic content in the future.

"It seems that everyone already knows." Zhang Huijun smiled broadly. Just after he took office, he had a student film that was selected for the Berlin International Film Festival. He was very proud of Beijing Film Academy.

The 99-level directing students all held their breath, waiting for the dean to announce who it was.

Everyone felt that they were selected for the Berlin Film Festival's "Short Film Competition".

The Berlin International Film Festival has units such as "Main Competition", "Short Film Competition", and "New Generation".

The "Main Competition" section is also the core part. The Golden Bear Award is born from the films in the "Main Competition" section, and it is required to be a complete film.

Everyone was shooting short films, so they couldn't participate in the competition. Besides, everyone was also voting in the "Short Film Competition" unit.

"Classmate Lu Chen." Zhang Huijun came down from the podium and handed the letter in his hand to Lu Chen, "Your senior brother Zhang Yingmou is the first director in China to win the three major international film festivals, and you are the number one director in our country.

As a current student selected for the three major international film festivals, I hope you can win an award and get another first place."

Give great affirmation and encouragement.

Not to mention how happy I am.

Three major film schools in China.

Beijing Film Academy, China Theater, and Shanghai Theater.

Now there is a student from Beijing Film Academy who has been selected for the Berlin International Film Festival. What a high honor it is. It will definitely leave the Chinese Film Academy and Shanghai Film Academy behind and become the number one film school in the country.

"Thank you, Dean Zhang." Lu Chen stood up and bowed.

This is Zhang Huijun, the newly appointed director of Beijing Cinema.

He also graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

Graduated from photography department.

His professional knowledge is quite solid and he has published numerous professional books on film photography and other aspects.

Of course, if you can be the dean of the top film school in the country, you are the most awesome guy in the industry.

"Why is it Lu Chen?" Everyone in the 99-level directing department has thought about it, but they have never thought about it. He is not a second-generation coal worker who went to film his family's large coal mine with a machine.

How come it was selected into the top film festival?

No matter how rich his family is.

It is impossible to bribe the Berlin Film Festival organizing committee.

It's really puzzling.

"Open it and take a look." Zhang Huijun only got the letter and hasn't opened it yet. It must be left to him to open it himself.

Lu Chen slowly opened the letter. Inside was an invitation letter in three languages: German, English, and Chinese.

"Main Competition?" Zhang Huijun straightened his head and looked, seeing that Lu Chen was invited to participate in the "Main Competition" section of the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival.

His face was full of disbelief. At first he thought he was selected for the "Short Film Competition", "Classmate Lu Chen, have you made a movie?"

The films participating in the "Main Competition" have time requirements and must be a complete film.

The "Main Competition" is open to the world. Countless famous directors submit their films to the competition every year. To be able to break out of the competition and be shortlisted is already an achievement.

Your own student was shortlisted?

"Yes, Dean Zhang." Lu Chen nodded.

Now the dean, tutors, and students from all departments were shocked.

Not a short film?

Made a movie?

It was also selected into the "Main Competition" section of the Berlin Film Festival.

Those who can be selected into the "Main Competition" section are all world-famous directors.
