Chapter 119 Chen An, who is loved by XiaoriAfter attending the opening ceremony, Chen An and Zhang Yimou watched the opening movie together. The conversation was in English and Chen An could understand it. A suspense movie, in which a dispatched agent comes to a hotel to investigate an incident. There are all kinds of characters in it, showing conflicts with each other. Anyway, Chen An didn't feel anything after watching it, but he still applauded after it was finished. After the screening ended and the interview with the crew was completed, Chen An and Zhang Yimou walked out of the theater together. As soon as I walked out the door, I was stopped by a reporter and asked, "Chen and Zhang, what do you think of the film? What do you think of the opening film of the Berlin Film Festival this time?" The first question he asked was quite tricky. Chen An looked at Zhang Yimou beside him and planned to let him answer it as he was more experienced in this kind of thing. Zhang Yimou walked forward, pulled his hat, looked at the camera and said, "It's a very good film. Director Wim Wenders still maintains his superb filming skills and enthusiasm. It's admirable." After that, the camera turned to Chen An and he said, "I think the same as Director Zhang."
Without making too many comments, it is better to say less than more. Then he asked the staff to push away the reporters who were still arguing and leave. Neither of their films are released today, so there's no need to continue browsing. The cold Berlin was not suitable for Chen An, and he had no mood to go out and wander around. "Brother, your video will be released the day after tomorrow, right? Do you want me to come and see it?" Chen An asked as they walked down the street. The other party’s movie was scheduled to be released before his own, and had already been released in China. In fact, when major film festivals say they want to premiere here, it's just nice talk. Screening at major film festivals is actually just a process for releasing a film. If you already have enough capital, there is no need to follow it. Since it was Chen An’s first time, he decided to release the film at the film festival instead of before. The premiere will be scheduled at the Berlin Film Festival. Some films need certification from film festivals. In order to maintain their popularity and influence, film festivals also need a continuous supply of excellent films. This is also the reason why the three major film festivals inevitably became commercialized in the end. Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "It would be a great help if you can come. I will also go to your movie." "Brother, you should be happier sometimes. You always look depressed every time I see you." "There are too many things, and they are weighing on my mind. I can't get rid of them. I've gotten used to it." February 11th. Chen An brought two leading actors from his crew, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ge, to attend the release of Zhang Yimou's movie. Miss Zhou is not well-known. Although she won the Best Actress Award in Paris for "Suzhou River", she did not receive much attention in Berlin. Ge Da Ge is much better. After all, he is the best actor in Cannes, and he came to attend the release of Zhang Yimou's movie, so naturally there were many reporters interviewing him.
When I came here, I also met the crew of the Chinese film "Sometimes Dancing" which was also participating in the exhibition. Although it was filmed by Kwan Kam-pang from Hong Kong Island, there are also many ordinary actors, and there are often ordinary actors in Hong Kong Island movies. In addition, there are two other female stars, Li Jiaxin and Shu Qi, who came with the crew. Both parties greeted each other. It was the first time that Chen An, the actress who caused the wealthy woman in Hong Kong to worry, met. She is indeed a beauty of her generation, incredibly beautiful, but not that kind of glamorous. Even though she is thirty years old, she still has a sense of purity. Being able to carve out a niche in a highly competitive place like Hong Kong Island relying solely on beauty is indeed something that cannot be underestimated. But the one who had the strongest reaction to seeing Chen An was not the two actresses, but the actor Takao Osawa from Xiao Ri Zi. He pulled Chen An to take a photo with him, and Chen An could not refuse and agreed, as if he was a little too popular in Xiao Ri Zi. It was the same before when I was in Jiang Wen’s crew. "Director Chen is also very popular in his daily life." Zhou Xun whispered in Chen An's ear. The two of them sat down in the theater, and as soon as they sat down, Zhou Xun came over and said. Chen An sat down and lay down. "Yu Jinghong and Zeng Li are more popular than me. How can a director compare to you actors?" “Can I be so popular then?” "I don't know, but it's possible if you sign with my company." "." Uncle Ge, who was sitting next to them, shook his head when he saw the two of them talking together, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch it. The two stopped chatting until the movie started. Chen An had watched this movie so many times that he was not that focused. Unlike Zhang Yimou's previous films, this film continues his strengths and the camera presentation is still excellent and beautiful. The display of color is still unique. However, it is different from the previous films' strong sense of criticism, leaving only a mellow sense of nostalgia, washing away the reflections that the previous films could not get rid of, and instead showing the delicate emotions of the characters, which is extremely moving. He is from that generation, has his own senses, and has thousands of ways to express love. Perhaps this is how he most wants to express the love he wants. The times are a gap, but although Chen An doesn’t know much about that era, he is still touched by what it shows. When the screening ended, there was continuous applause in the theater. The screening was undoubtedly a success. At least he won the applause of the audience, and a rare smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's face recently. He happily went on stage to be interviewed and thanked the crew for coming to watch the movie. When Chen An heard his name, he smiled and said nothing. After finishing the movie, Chen An took the opportunity to slip away to avoid being pulled away for interviews by reporters again. When my own movie was released the next day, I still saw the crew of "Sometimes Dance". It seems that I will have to go there when the other party’s movie is released. Zhang Yimou also came before the screening and greeted Chen An.
Things are different now. There is no fancy operation and the theater was quickly filled with people coming to watch the movie. Today he is no longer the little Karami who visited Cannes for the first time. "Run Lola Run" earned 90 million at the European box office, and "Little Miss Sunshine" also earned tens of millions. Not only did it win the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival, but it has also grossed over 100 million worldwide and has been nominated for three major awards at this year's Oscars: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor. It's currently in the limelight! After Chen An thanked everyone for arriving, he started the movie screening without saying much. Since it was sent to Berlin, the subtitles were naturally changed into German and English. "Hello! Mr. Tree" also had its first public meeting. First, a black screen with a white background introduced the main creators of the production. When the last work by director Chen An appeared on the subtitles, the film officially began. Uncle Ge sitting below was also sitting upright. It was also the first time for him to watch this movie, which made him a little mentally ill. The camera moved all the way and finally stopped in front of a factory with a broken window. It zoomed in through the gap and Uncle Ge, who was repairing a car inside, appeared on the screen. The performance officially began. In the dim factory, Uncle Ge was silently repairing a motorcycle. His hair was messy, and his clothes were dirty and didn't fit him well. They are just randomly put together to form a weird combination. At first the audience didn't notice anything, until the other person staggered out, then they realized that this person was weird. It seems a little abnormal! (End of this chapter)
