Zhou Yun has never served as a jury member at a film festival, but Song Chi has. He told her that being a juror at a film festival, or for some film awards, isn't as glamorous as it seems, and the pressure is immense.
In such a short time, to watch so many films and select the good ones, casting the right votes, and when your opinion differs from the other jurors, you must argue for the films you favor and believe in.
Even though Director Yu Zhihe is a world-class director, in situations like these, it's not as if everyone respects him or follows his lead.
The jury for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival is formidable. Just because you're a world-class director doesn't mean someone is just a minor assistant.
Zhou Yun said: "Although it's very tough, please continue to fight for the sake of good films."
She encouraged Director Yu Zhihe with the same passionate tone and posture she often saw in Japanese films.
Yu Zhihe couldn't help but laugh.
