This director loves making friends.

Qin Keqing's understanding of "sworn brotherhood" is that the relationship between two people is so good that they want to become sworn brothers. Although it may not be able to withstand the temptation and test of great interests, it should at least be a relationship that is as good as that of friends for more than ten years.

After Moritz left, Qin Keqing fell silent.

Even "My n..." has come out. You're telling me this is called "sworn brotherhood"?

Furthermore, Moritz's last words felt like a heartfelt confession, as if he were being treated like a true junior.

Is this what they call "sworn brotherhood"?

This isn't called "sworn brotherhood," it should be called "family friendship," right?

Qin Keqing even felt that this was not just a "sworn brotherhood" between himself and Moritz, but rather Moritz and his father becoming sworn brothers!

"Is the concept of 'sworn brotherhood' based on who you are? The older generation 'becomes sworn brothers' with the older generation and treats me like a true nephew or niece, while only the younger generation becomes 'brothers'?"

"The real younger generation..."

Considering Moritz's tone and attitude, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Is it better to become a nephew or niece that Moritz truly cares about, or to become his "good brother"?

Qin Keqing couldn't tell which one was better for the time being.

"However, becoming a nephew or niece that Moritz cares about seems... not so bad?"

Moritz hurriedly left the hotel and arrived at his office, where Barco and Klopp were already waiting for him.

"What happened?"

Moritz loosened his tie; he took this matter very seriously. If a similar incident to Chen Kaige's withdrawal from the film festival were to occur again, he might lose his position as the film festival chairman.

"I've already investigated."

Barco spoke first, "Pierre Lissent did come to see Qin. They met and talked in a coffee shop. There happened to be a reporter at the next table. He heard Pierre complaining about why Qin came to Berlin and that Giles Jacob was a little unhappy."

"Gilth is unhappy?"

Moritz gave a cold laugh.

That wretched guy, look what he's done to Cannes since he took over as artistic director.

Not only did they extend an olive branch to Hollywood, but they also vigorously promoted the commercialization of art films. Every year, nearly half of the films at the Cannes Film Festival are commercial films.

That sounds nice, but the goal is to create art films that are somewhere between the obscure art films of Venice and the commercial films of Hollywood, films that audiences can understand.

Moritz was about to make a sarcastic remark when he suddenly thought of his son... no, Qin Keqing, whom he regarded as a nephew or niece. All three of his films seemed to be art films completed with commercial techniques and pacing.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Keqing is indeed suitable for Cannes, no wonder Giles was unhappy.

Then I thought again, Qin Keqing is indeed the nephew I value. Even that old fox Giles values ​​him so much. I was right to have chosen him!

He suddenly felt a sense of pride in his younger generation's "success".

Klopp, who was good at reading people, saw his boss's lips curl up in a smirk. He immediately understood that his boss was sneering, showing disdain, and inwardly contempt.

So he said, "Gills only knows how to create flashy gimmicks. What does he know about movies? What vision does he have? Cannes is doomed sooner or later under his management..."

Klopp thought his boss would agree with him, but Moritz glared at him instead, leaving him puzzled. Had he said something wrong?

However, Klopp was able to reach this position not only because he was good at reading people, but also because he had real skills. He thought about it and didn't quite understand his boss's true opinion, so he stopped trying to agree with his boss and started to analyze the problem.

Flattery and problem-solving are equally important. If you can't make the boss feel comfortable, then solve the problem for him.

"I specifically went to find that reporter, and also the waiter in the coffee shop at the time."

As soon as Klopp opened his mouth, he drew Moritz's attention.

"I received confirmation from reporters and waiters who were present at the time that Pierre did indeed extend an invitation to Qin. Qin didn't say anything at the time, and Pierre whispered a few words, which the reporters and waiters couldn't hear clearly. Then Qin hesitated for a moment and left with Pierre."

Upon hearing Klopp's words, Moritz frowned, and Barco also began to frown.

Barco thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Xie Fei. He's Qin's mentor. Qin should be able to..."

He wanted to say that Qin Keqing would listen to Xie Fei, but he didn't say it.

If Cannes really promises the Palme d'Or, then even your own father's words might not be enough, let alone your mentor.

Moritz waved his hand and said, "Go and explain the situation. Um... you can tell Xie that I'll give him a promise: whatever he can get, Qin will definitely be able to get to Berlin too."

Balco, who had taken a step forward, suddenly pulled back and looked at his boss with some surprise. "This... you just said that to appease Xie Fei and his apprentice, right?"

right?

However, he saw that Moritz was not joking; he looked very serious.

Klopp was also stunned.

With Moritz's words, it means that as long as he remains in the position of Chairman of the Berlin Parliament, Qin Keqing will definitely win the Golden Bear. This is equivalent to directly "giving" Qin Keqing a Golden Bear!

When Moritz saw that both of them were looking at him, he suddenly realized that as the director of the Berlin Film Festival, he shouldn't have said that: promises can be made, but promises should be something vague and not so specific.

But what he just said was indeed his true thought, only he said it too obviously.

"Sigh, what do you suggest we do? Do you have any good ideas? If you had a good solution, why would I have made such a promise?"

"It's only been a few years! Berlin can't afford another last-minute cancellation! Then, not only you, but even I might be forced to step down!"

"So, what do you think I should do? I'm the president of the Berlin Film Festival, and also its artistic director. Do you think I want this?"

"It's all your fault for not being able to solve my problem!"

"well……"

Moritz's words not only made Barco lower his head, but even Klopp felt somewhat ashamed.

Both of them actually knew how to solve the problem at hand, but neither of them wanted to say the answer.

Aside from that answer, if Cannes makes a promise, there's really no way to resolve this matter. The only option is to make a promise in Moritz's name... and even that might not work.

Klopp became anxious, realizing that even a promise might not work.

Just as Moritz said, if Qin Keqing were to bring "Old Boys" to Cannes and Cannes shamelessly awarded it the Palme d'Or, then this would be another time for Cannes to humiliate Berlin, or even humiliate it terribly!

Berlin can forget about catching up with Cannes in the future. Everyone will think that Berlin is inferior to Cannes - otherwise why would two films be moved from Berlin to Cannes in four years?

Is it possible to temporarily fill in another film and give that temporary film a Golden Bear?

It's no use!

"or……"

Moritz and Barco exchanged a glance.
