Chapter 792 Feng Yuanzheng's Mind
Mid-February is the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush, and the busiest day of the year at Capital International Airport. The airport's waiting hall is filled with people and water cannot be poured in; the radio is posting information about flight delays over and over again.
In the VIP waiting room, the main creator of the crew of "One Person's Lights and Decoration" was also helplessly waiting for the boarding notice. The flight was already an hour late, but everyone was not in a hurry. Everyone was going to attend the film festival, which was not an urgent matter, and it didn't matter how much it was to be a few hours later. Everyone was sitting on the chairs, chatting one by one.
This time I went to the Berlin Film Festival to participate, so the topic was naturally inseparable from the film festival. Everyone quickly talked about Polansky. Polansky has been the most eye-catching topic in the entire Berlin Film Festival in the past two weeks. Because Polansky was under house arrest by the Swiss government, it is still hard to say whether he can participate in this film festival.
In 1977, Polans Gene was arrested and tried in the United States for suspected *** a 13-year-old girl. While awaiting trial, Polansky fled from Los Angeles to France. On September 26 last year, at the request of the United States, the Swiss government arrested Polansky, who arrived in Switzerland to attend the Zurich International Film Festival.
This incident immediately aroused strong protests from film industry people. More than 100 directors, movie stars and artists from all over the world signed a joint letter of mercy to protest Switzerland's arrest of Polansky and demanded that he be released immediately. Since Polansky has dual nationalities between France and Poland, this incident caused a diplomatic storm. The two governments jointly urged Switzerland to release the people. Finally, with the mediation of French President Sarkozy, Polansky was released in November, but the court ordered Polansky to be under house arrest in his villa in the Swiss Alps.
Zhang Ran and others have different views on Polansky. Hu Jun is a child and believes that Luoli charges should be burned to death; Cao Bingkun believes that the woman who was raped has forgiven Polansky, and has repeatedly requested the US court to revoke the charges against Polansky, so he should not be pursued again; Zhao Fei believes that since he has committed a crime, he should be punished accordingly.
As a woman, Zhang Jingchu was instinctively disgusted with this matter and did not participate in the discussion. She slowly read the American "vogue" with a copy of the American "Vogue". Feng Yuan was stunned and did not participate. She hugged the bag in her arms, staring at the ground in a daze, as if she had something to do. Zhang Jingchu was a careful girl, and soon noticed this and asked, "Brother Yuanzheng, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Yuan came to his senses and smiled at Zhang Jingchuyi: "No, I just remembered some things from the past."
Zhang Jingchu didn't think much, and said "Oh" and continued to turn over the "vogue" in her hand.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Zhang Ran and the others finally waited for the boarding notice. The group stood up one after another and dragged their luggage to board the plane from the VIP channel.
Zhang Ran and his party entered the cabin, followed the flight attendant's prompt to come to their own position, placed the salute in the hut shelf on the seat, and then sat in their seats, reading books, and chatting.
After a few minutes, other passengers also boarded the plane one after another.
A bald man in his forties, with a beard and big belly boarded the passenger plane and walked forward along the passage. When he passed by Zhang Ran and the others, he turned his head and looked at him, recognized Zhang Ran, was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Zhang Ran, I didn't expect you were this flight."
Zhang Ran, who was talking to Zhang Jingchu, heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he found that it was Wang Quan'an, the director of "Tuya's Marriage". His new film "Tong Members" is a shortlisted film for this year's main competition unit. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Berlin Film Festival. The theme of this film festival is "Group Members". Therefore, "Reunion" was also selected as the opening film, which is extremely glorious.
Zhang Ran quickly stood up and nodded at Wang Quanan with a smile: "It turns out it's Director Wang. I didn't expect you to take this flight too. It's such a coincidence!"
Wang Quanan looked at Zhang Ran, then the crew members, and said in confusion: "Didn't your movie be released on the 15th? Did you set out so early?"
This time, Zhang Ran went to Berlin. In addition to participating in the film festival, he also had another purpose, which was to take the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival inspection team to Berlin for inspection and learn the advanced experience of the Berlin Film Festival. The inspection team set out from Lin'an yesterday, and now it is probably already underway for related inspections in Berlin. Although Zhang Ran told Berlin Film Festival chairman Diet Cosrick about the inspection and the other party welcomed it, he thought it would be better to keep an eye on it in person.
Zhang Ran had no need to say these things, and simply said: "I've been busy for a year and am really tired. I just took this opportunity to go to Berlin for a few days and relax!"
Wang Quanan said generously: "I am familiar with Berlin. If you have any places to help, just say hello!"
This is a bit loud, but Wang Quan'an is indeed qualified to say this. From the International Youth Forum Unit of "The Eclipse", to the Panoramic Unit of "The Jingzhe", to the No. 1 of "Tuya's Marriage" shortlisted for the main competition unit and finally won the Golden Bear Award, Wang Quan'an was cultivated step by step by step by step by the Berlin Film Festival and is the direct descendant of the Berlin Film Festival. As the darling of the Berlin Film Festival, he still has the ability to do a little favor in Berlin.
Zhang Ran laughed and said, "Then we've decided. I'll come to you then, so don't blame me!"
Wang Quanan also smiled and said, "I dare not rely on anyone's account!"
The passengers came and went on the plane and were not convenient to talk more. Wang Quan'an quickly said goodbye and went to his own position; and Zhang Ran continued to chat with Zhang Jingchu.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Jingchu noticed that Feng Yuan was stunned and dazed again. She was curious and asked, "Brother Yuanzheng, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Ran also noticed that Feng Yuan was a little abnormal and asked: "Expedition, are you worried about anything?"
Hearing this, Hu Jun and Cao Bingkun also stood up and looked here with concern.
Feng Yuan saw everyone looking at him with concern, and felt warm in his heart. He smiled at everyone: "I just remembered a lot of past events, remembered how I went to Germany, how I came back, and remembered my teacher, Melsin. This time our movie was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. After the movie was released, the German media will definitely report it significantly. If Melsin is still alive, he should be able to see it!" He sighed slightly and said: "I don't know if she is still alive. I really hope she is still alive!"
Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that Feng Yuan had told him that he had learned Grotowsky in Germany. The teacher valued him very much and hoped that he would inherit his legacy. However, it was too difficult for Chinese people to be an actor in Germany, and he wanted to be an actor, so he finally chose to return to China. Zhang Ran understood what was going on.
Zhang Jingchu rarely sees Feng Yuan so sad and asks: "Do you have a bad relationship with the teacher?"
Feng Yuan smiled at her and said, "After I arrived in Germany, I lived in Melsin's house for a year. Almost all Chinese students are busy working. I don't have to work, because Melsin gives me 800 marks of living expenses every month. She hopes that I don't work and that I will concentrate on studying. In my heart, she is my other mother, and I have always called her mother."
Zhang Jingchu was very surprised: "Then why did you break off contact with her?"
Feng Yuan sighed slightly, with a faint sadness in his eyes and said, "I want to be an actor. It is really difficult for a Chinese to be an actor in Germany. If I want to be an actor, I have to go back to China. But Mersin hopes that I will stay in Germany, inherit the Grotowsky genre, and become her successor. She kept advising me to stay. I thought for a long time, but finally decided to go home. I told Mersin that I decided to go back to China to see if I can still be an actor. She was very angry, okay, Zheng is a great actor in China! Okay, you go, go! The day before returning to China, I went to Mersin's house again and told her that I will leave tomorrow. If the situation in China is not good, I will come back. She was very cold and said, "You can do whatever you want." Speaking of this, he sighed deeply and said, "I know I really made her sad."
Zhang Ran sighed slightly when he heard this. He understood Feng Yuan very much. At that time, Mary Hill also regarded Zhang Ran as the successor of the mantle. His change to the director also hurt Mary Hill's heart.
At that time, Zhang Ran did not particularly understand Mary Hill, but after becoming a teacher, he understood it thoroughly. A girl in the 2001 class he led changed her career to do other things after graduation. In 2008, the girl got married and asked Zhang Ran to attend the wedding. He just gave up, but he didn't go there at all. It was not that he had no time, but that he was angry with the student. He felt that he had worked hard for four years and gave up without trying it, and felt that his hard work was wasted.
This is still the most mediocre student among Zhang Ran. If he was the student he valued the most, he didn't know what he would be angry.
Feng Yuan continued to tell his story: "I went to find Melsin's mother. My grandmother was 93 years old that year. When she lived at Melsin's house, she was often the only one in the house, and we always chatted in her small room. The old lady was very kind to me and used colored pens to draw many small paintings for me. I told the old lady that I was going back to China. The old lady asked me, what to do when I went back to China? I could only make up a random lie and said that I wanted to go back to China to change my passport. She asked me, are you still coming back? I said, come back. She said, you must come back, I will wait for you alive."
Feng Yuan was stunned and tears came out. He reached out and rubbed his face hard, took a deep breath, and continued: "She kissed my face. But I knew that I would never see her again. When I left, I hugged Melsin, and she was still cold. I said, Mom, goodbye, everything went well. I started crying when I walked out of the house. It was really sad."
Zhang Jingchu also burst into tears when she heard this: "Have you not contacted her later?"
Feng Yuan sighed in a daze and said with red eyes: "After returning to China, I wrote several letters to her, but she never replied. I really hurt her heart, and she will never forgive me in this life!"
When Zhang Ran heard Feng Yuan say this, he quickly comforted him: "My teacher also wanted to inherit her mantra. After I changed to the director, I was very angry and ignored me at all. On National Day in 2001, I went to see her and told her that I am also a teacher now and are passing on everything you teach me to my students, so she will not be angry with me. Your teacher is angry because you gave up her mantra, but you did not give up being an actor, you did not give up the technology she taught. If she knew that you became one of the best actors in China with the technology she taught, you would be happy for you."
This problem has troubled Feng Yuan for nearly twenty years. It was a heart-wrenching problem for him. How could Zhang Ran’s words relieve his doubts and didn’t say anything, but just shook his head gently.
Zhang Ran patted her shoulder and said, "Tomorrow we will visit your teacher together. No, I have arrangements tomorrow. Let's go to visit your teacher the day after tomorrow, let her know that you have not let her down. We will invite her as an important guest to attend the premiere of "One Person's Lights and Decoration" and attend our celebration and cocktail party. You don't have to worry about other promotional activities in the movie, and accompany your teacher!"
Feng Yuan felt that this idea was very good, so he made his teacher show his face in a glamorous manner, and said gratefully: "Zhang Ran, thank you!"
Zhang Ran waved his hand with a smile: "Don't be so polite, we are friends, and I am also a teacher!"
