22nd, Berlin.

The 25 entries have been unveiled one after another, with varying levels of quality. Sometimes when a film festival accepts a film, it must not only consider quality, but also diversity - the more countries participating, the more influence the film festival can show.

A Spanish movie "The Beehive" has a good reputation. It tells the story of Madrid in the 1940s and the social life of the Spanish Civil War.

There is also a film called "The Rich House", which reflects the story of Irish revolution and religion.

The Japanese film "Beasts" was also screened, and the public opinion was mediocre and did not cause any waves. However, Mizutani, Ken Ogata and others were smart enough to see that Yamada had made the matter so big, so they ran away the night of the screening.

Anyway, they are self-aware and cannot win the prize.

"Life Is Beautiful" is arranged in the last scene, because after the show there is an interactive session with international friends, which takes a long time, and the last scene will not affect other films.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Qi put on his glasses and a black suit. The material was good, decent and comfortable. He had ironed it in advance. Every inch of the fabric fit his body. The trousers line was straight and the leather shoes were shiny.

Li Wenhua also wears a suit.

He also took a small comb and carefully combed every hair. Chen Qi sighed: "Old Li, I think you were such a steadfast old comrade back then. It was me who polluted you."

"Can old comrades be used as food? Who doesn't know me, Director Li, now in China? Besides, I have seen through you. You are a capitalist roader on the surface, but in reality you are extremely popular. You are a hundred times better than those who say one thing and do another.

If the factory hadn't released him, I would have gone to your company long ago!"

"Haha, I'm just saying this to you. I'll look for you when I have a movie in the future!" Chen Qi was amused.

Although he was joking, Li Wenhua was his tool, but he was a serious photographer, experienced and capable, and he took pictures in an orderly manner. In terms of technical level, Chen Qi was really not as good as him. What he lacked was just

There is a certain awareness that people in this era lack.

The two of them left the house, and Gong Xue also happened to come out. In order to match the video, she wore a set of indanthrine cheongsam, high heels, and a coat outside to keep out the cold. Indanthrine is a blue dye.

It's not ordinary blue, it's indigo.

Liu Zhigu and other official personnel either wear suits or Chinese tunic suits.

There are dress codes for foreign affairs events.

"Is everyone here?"

"Set off!"

…………

Together with 9 international friends, this team has more than 20 members.

Arriving at the venue in a grand manner, Hader was already there. Liu Zhigu took the lead and said: "Mr. Chairman, you can pretend that nothing happened before, but today is the premiere, so you can't let them cause trouble anymore!"

"I have strengthened security, please don't worry. But if those Japanese reporters want to come in to watch the movie, what will you do?"

“Watching the movie quietly, we absolutely welcome it!”

Hader was actually a little depressed. He was a cunning old man and didn't want to express his position publicly. As a result, a reporter from the event was called out by Chen Qi on the spot and he had to take some action because he also felt that the Chinese were well prepared and Japan had no chance of winning.

The space is not small, the auditorium can seat several hundred people, and there is a stage in front.

As they entered the venue one after another, there were fifty or sixty reporters running over. The films in the entire film festival were not as popular as "Life is Beautiful". Chen Qi stood in front to greet them, and saw an acquaintance.

"Roberts!"

It was Roberts from 20th Century Fox. Chen Qi smiled and said: "It's been more than half a year since you bought "Orphan". I heard it hasn't been released in the United States yet. You are so rich, why don't you buy the movie and keep it for fun?"

"We have too many resources. We have to wait in line. It's coming soon!"

Roberts explained, "Besides, the box office of "Orphan" has nothing to do with you, so what do you worry about?"

"It doesn't matter now, maybe we can cooperate further in the future!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it!"

Roberts went in and was greeted by another person who introduced himself: "Warner's Overseas Division, Stevenson, nice to meet you!"

Then another one came, "Universal, Bob, first meeting!"

"Paramount, Fritz!"

Oops!

Chen Qi was a little surprised. It seemed that the popularity was really high. Four of the top eight Hollywood actors came.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, but it was Yamada who came again with several reporters. The whole audience screamed and stretched their necks, thinking that there was another good show to watch.

Liu Zhigu stood up in a hurry, and Hader also stood up. This time he had to take care of things and said: "Gentlemen, if you come to watch the movie, we welcome you. If you have other purposes, please leave immediately."

"Of course we are here to watch the movie!"

Yamada snorted and walked in swaggeringly, but compared to before, he looked more bluffing. He sat in the back row, looked at the environment, and his eyes fell on the Chinese named Chen Qi again, and he felt resentful in his heart: They are all

This guy!

After the meeting that day, Yamada felt that something was wrong. This was not what he had imagined.

But he had to come here to see what the film was about so that he could explain it when he got back.

"..."

Chen Qi also stared at him, thought for a while, walked out of the hall first, called Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang, and whispered: "Watch them, don't let them leave halfway, they must sit until the end of our event!"

"Can you fight the Japanese?" Xiao Yang was excited.

"Hit you on the head, use your brain, forget it, you don't have enough brain, just listen to Xiao Mo's arrangement!"

…………

After a while, the audience was almost seated.

Chairman Hader personally presided over the show and said a few opening words. Then the lights dimmed, the screen came on, and "Life is Beautiful" began to show. The audience was extremely quiet, and this film that attracted great attention was finally unveiled.

And not long after the lights dimmed.

Yamada felt the people next to him move and change their positions, and a dark-skinned guy sat over.

He is not tall, but his body is broad and strong. Sitting next to him is like a wall, and he even crosses his legs... Yamada estimated that his thighs are thicker than his own waist.

Just kidding, Xiao Yang grew up in the grasslands and practiced wrestling since he was a child!

As the movie started, Yamada ignored this guy and focused on the big screen.

“Lord, bless us and the food we eat, and we thank you for all that you have given us…Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as in the beginning, today, and forever…

…”

The video begins with a prayer before a meal.

The camera slowly pulls down from the Western-style ceiling, giving a bird's-eye view of a magnificent dining room also decorated in Western style, where a family is praying before breakfast.

The audience was immediately stunned. It is normal for this kind of scene to appear in Western works, but it is very abnormal to appear in Chinese movies.

This family is even more abnormal. It is actually a standard Chinese family.

Mr. Li, played by Tieniu, has a broad face and big ears. He wears a somewhat tight coat. He is absent-minded and prays without saying a word. There are also several children, and their clothes are also a mix of Chinese and Western clothes.

The one closest to him is Li Mingyu, played by Gong Xue.

"Amen!"

"Dad, can you be more pious?"

"Am I not religious yet?"

Mr. Li was very aggrieved and said: "My religious belief is enough for me, so why don't I donate money to you for free? You can teach in school safely, and our family can live in the concession safely.

I say ‘Amen’ every day!”
