Chapter 796 visit
According to German media reports, this year is the coldest winter in Berlin in 30 years. The weather was originally cold enough, but at 6 pm, it suddenly started to snow again. The wind and snow were mixed, and the cold air was so cold that even wearing a thick coat felt cold.
However, even so, it still cannot stop people's love for movies. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the red carpet in front of the movie palace. In addition to more than 100 journalists from all over the world, there are hundreds of fanatical fans, including a considerable proportion of Chinese. Everyone is wearing thick cotton coats, many of them are wearing hats and masks. From a distance, it looks like a group of bears is gathering.
At 7:30 pm, Zhang Ran and his party took a bus to the Movie Palace. The car slowly drove into the red carpet area and stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. Zhang Jingchu looked at the red carpet through the window and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's still snowing so much. Renee Zellweger is actually wearing a backless outfit. It's too strong!"
Zhang Jingchu was wearing a white floor-slide long skirt, long sleeves and a stand-up collar, wrapping her whole body tightly. There was ink plum on the right chest and left shoulder of the long skirt, and the whole skirt had a nice name called Taxue Xunmei.
In order to keep warm, Zhang Jingchu put a warm baby on her stomach and vest. As long as her belly is not cold, her whole body will not be cold. In addition, she also put a pair of autumn pants under her skirt. Zhang Ran joked with Zhang Jingchu. If Su Mang knew that you were wearing autumn pants on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival, she would definitely break up with you.
Just as Zhang Jingchu was about to get off the car, two white things floated past her eyes and rushed onto the red carpet, causing chaos. It turned out to be two naked runners with slogans to protect animals on their chests. She said in a daze: "It's crazy that someone ran naked in such cold weather!"
Not only Zhang Jingchu thought so, but also the movie fans and reporters present thought so. Today's temperature is minus five degrees. In such a cold weather, aren't you afraid of freezing the birds? The movie fans and reporters pointed their phone cameras at the two naked runners. In the night, they heard the sound of cracking and flashing constantly.
The security guards caught up with two naked runners, crushed them to the ground, and quickly took them away.
After a brief riot, the red carpet returned to normal, and "One Man's Light" finally walked on the red carpet; their appearance won the enthusiastic pursuit of Chinese movie fans and East Asian media on the scene, and cheers and screams came one after another.
Zhang Jingchu used her strong willpower to support her smile and couldn't help waving to the fans on both sides. Although she was wearing trousers and had a baby on her body, she still couldn't withstand the low temperature today, and the smile on her face was a little frozen. She didn't stop on the red carpet for too long, waved to the Chinese fans on both sides of the red carpet, and then floated over the red carpet like a gust of wind. The reporters on both sides of the red carpet saw Zhang Jingchu floating by like this, shouting regret: "Why did you walk over so quickly? I've only taken two pictures, which is a pity!"
Zhang Ran and his party entered the hall. Before the butt was hot, someone came to say hello. It was Janet Montgomery. She starred in Dingfeng Entertainment's "The Deadly Bend 3" and participated in "Black Swan". She must come over to say hello to Zhang Ran, the big boss. After Janet Montgomery, many second- and third-rate actors from Hollywood and Europe came to say hello. Zhang Ran is the big boss of Dingfeng Entertainment. If she falls in love with her, she will be in one step.
At exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, German actress An Ke Engelke, who served as the host, stepped onto the stage and the opening ceremony officially began.
After Engelke talked a lot, the film festival chairman Kosrik was invited to the stage. The first thing he did after he came on stage was to encourage Engelke to speak Chinese: "Today there were many guests from China. You are so powerful, why not come to host a Chinese version." Engelke really said a lot, but none of the crew members of "Reunion" and "One Person Decoration" in the audience understood, and they were all amused.
Zhang Jingchu asked while laughing, “What is she talking about?”
Zhang Ran seriously translated: "She said, Zhang Ran, why are you so handsome? You are like a fireflies in the dark, bright stars and dazzling..."
Zhang Jingchu rolled her eyes and said, "Narcissist, what she said is that I have never seen someone as shameless as Zhang Ran!"
The simplest opening ceremony of the three major film festivals is Cannes, which will be completed in about 20 minutes. The opening ceremony in Berlin is quite slow. Not only should we introduce the judges of each competition unit, but we should also speak the mayor and the minister of culture, and even read the sponsor's names, which is not much better than the bureaucratic opening ceremony of domestic film festivals.
Zhang Ranba was bored in the seat and thought to himself that the opening ceremony of Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival must be as simple as possible in the future. This is really boring!
After fifty minutes of suffering, the opening ceremony finally ended and the opening video began to be played. Zhang Ran also cheered up. He had watched Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" and "White Deer Plain" by Wang Quanan, but he had never watched "Reunion".
After the movie began, Zhang Ran learned that "Reunion" tells the story of the Kuomintang veteran Ling Feng returning to the Demon Capital in his later years to visit his old lover Lu Yan, who had been separated for decades, hoping to take her back to Taiwan. Lu Yan, who worked hard for her children for a lifetime, hoped to feel and live for love in the last few years of her life, but could not let go of her husband who had 40 years of kindness. Several children also had their own ideas. The whole family became tense because of the guests of a Taiwanese bend yearning for reunion. In the end, Ling Feng boarded the boat back to Taiwanese bend alone.
This movie is quite distinctive in shooting techniques. Most of the scenes take place in a small space, and a large number of long shots are used to present the dialogue between characters, especially at the dining table. Through this implicit way, the inner feelings of the characters are conveyed.
The whole movie was made warm and moving. During the middle of the screening, many viewers were moved by the movie and cried from time to time. At the end of the movie, applause was thunderous, and many viewers even stood up and applauded vigorously. The entire applause lasted for nearly 4 minutes.
After leaving the cinema, Hu Jun and the others were talking about it, thinking that the movie was good. Seeing that Zhang Ran had never expressed his opinion, Hu Jun asked, "Zhang Ran, what do you think of the movie?"
Zhang Ran thought the movie was OK, just said: "Overall, the film is more attractive, and the life of a small person reflects the grand theme of national division as a tragedy. The Berlin Film Festival pays the most attention to political themes. "Reunion" is a type that the Berlin Film Festival particularly likes, and should be able to win awards, but compared with "Tuya's Marriage", there is no progress and surprise, and it cannot win the grand prize."
Hu Jun asked again: "Then do you think "One Person Decoration" can win the big prize?"
Zhang Ran has absolutely confidence in the artistry of his movies, but there are too many uncertain factors in winning the award, so he said: "It's not clear that the chairman of the jury is Werner Herzog. I think he may not like the style of our movie!"
When I woke up the next morning, Zhang Ran looked at the window and saw that the snow stopped, but the whole city was covered in silver and turned into a vast white area. The whole city seemed quiet and holy, giving people a wonderful feeling of being in the fairy tale world.
At nine o'clock, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Feng Yuan got into the car and drove slowly towards the suburbs of the city. Along the way, Feng Yuan didn't say anything, and seemed to be worried.
Zhang Ran felt that this was even more timid in the neighborhood relationship. Feng Yuan was too worried that the teacher would not forgive him, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, after so many years, your teacher must have forgiven you."
Feng Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's been nineteen years, she's about to be eighty. I don't know if she's moving, nor do I know if she's still there."
Zhang Jingchu also comforted: "No, it must be fine, we will definitely be able to see him."
Feng Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I should have come to see her long ago, but I have never had the courage. I am afraid that she will still be angry with me, and I am afraid that she will not forgive me."
Feng Yuan sighed deeply and talked about his past after arriving in Germany.
Tell him how he came to Germany, Melsin took her to the Berlin Wall, life in Germany, Melsin's care for him, and even paved a way out for him, and arranged for him to act in a troupe run by her students, earning 15 to 2,000 marks a month. Feng Yuan in Germany felt like he was in water, but in the end he could not fully integrate because he had such a Chinese face and had no chance to act.
Zhang Ran always believes that the reason why Feng Yuanzai is so good at acting is that in addition to his excellent talent and strict Grotowsky training, he must have experienced many things that others have not experienced. Now it seems that this is true. Life is really the best teacher for actors!
Feng Yuan talked about the past in Germany for a while, and then talked about how he met Mersing: "Director Lin Zhaohua went to Europe and met Professor Mersing who taught Grotowsky at the Higher Arts College in West Berlin. He found it very interesting, so he suggested to the theater to invite Mersing to the People's Arts and teach us. The teachers and students of the People's Arts are very friendly to Mersing. But for Grotowsky, there was also controversy among the teachers of the People's Arts at that time. During the training, Mersing used a lot of physical technology to stimulate the potential of actors. The three or four-hour courses included sports skills such as rolling and jumping, which was very hard, and some students also had conflicts. Wu Gang and Wu Gang in our class, do you know?"
Zhang Jingchu nodded and said, "I know, you five are the Five Tigers of the People's Art Theater, who plays Lu Qiaoshan in "Luxing"."
Feng Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's him. His body is very stiff. Every time he takes Melsin's class, he feels very painful, and then he pretends to be sick and skips class, and uses various reasons to skip class. Melsin asked Wu Gang, why don't you come to class. Wu Gang said, "I'm sick." Melsin asked, "What's the disease?" Wu Gang said, "When he has athlete's foot, he turned it into an illness on his feet. When Melsin heard that his foot was sick, he thought he had a fracture, so he immediately accepted the leave."
Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu laughed, but they didn't expect that Wu Gang, who looked righteous, would have such a naughty time.
Feng Yuan smiled and said, "I have always been very serious in class, I spared no effort and realized quickly. Mersing often praises me..."
Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the place. An old-fashioned building surrounded by walls, the kind of house that can be seen everywhere in Germany, with the yard gates tightly closed.
After parked the car by the wall, Feng Yuan got out of the car and stared at the yard. It has been nineteen years since the yard has almost no change, and it has not changed much from when he left. However, the dormitory of the 19 years has made the whole house much old, and the paint on the door looks a bit mottled.
Since the yard has not changed and everything has not changed, then Mersing should not have moved and still lives here!
Seeing Feng Yuan staring at the wooden door, Zhang Ran was stunned and dazed, patted his shoulder and said, "Ring the doorbell, don't hesitate!"
Feng Yuan was stunned and didn't say anything. He took a deep breath. He reached out and was about to go forward and ring the doorbell when the yard door opened. Mersin was sitting in a wheelchair, and his white hair was drifting in the wind. Compared with the capable woman in his memory, he was much older.
When Mersin saw Feng Yuan stunned for a few seconds, then stretched out his right hand and shouted tremblingly: "Stop!"
Feng Yuanzai smiled hard at Mersin, but tears fell from the smile. He walked over, hugged her hard, and shouted: "Mom!"
