February comes on the 2nd

Today Zhao Hong and Qiqi came to the airport to pick up people. Professor Zhao and Teacher Lin are coming to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year this year.

"Dad, Mom, I look like you." As soon as Qiqi saw Professor Zhao and the others, she rushed towards them and was so excited that it was hard to express.

She originally wanted to go back to the mainland to celebrate the New Year, but Professor Zhao and the others didn't want their precious daughter to be separated from Zhao Hong, so they came directly to Xiangjiang.

Teacher Lin was also very happy when he saw his daughter, and the two hugged each other directly.

"Uncle, come here and get your luggage." Zhao Hong quickly stepped forward and took the suitcase from Professor Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, are you okay during this time?" Professor Zhao said after handing his luggage to Zhao Hong.

"I don't have much to do. At the end of the year, apart from dealing with the company's affairs, I spend most of my time with my family."

"That's good. If you have time, you should spend it with your family."

"Yeah, uncle!"

…

After Zhao Hong and Professor Zhao exchanged casual greetings, the group of them got into the car and rushed home.

"Hey, Xiangjiang has changed a lot in recent years, especially in the Tin Shui Wai area. Why did your family move here?"

Professor Zhao said with emotion when he saw the wide streets outside and the tall buildings.

"Dad, the environment here is very good, the air is also very good, and the security is the best in Xiangjiang, so our family always lives here. As for the other side of the island, we only go there for a few days from time to time.

.”

Qiqi rushed to answer.

After that, she explained every bit of this new star city to Professor Zhao and Teacher Lin, which was an eye-opener for them both.

Although they have known this several times, their feelings are different every time.

"Is the public security in Xiangjiang bad?" Teacher Lin heard that the public security here is good, so she said a little puzzled.

"It's not just bad! There are many gangs here. In civilian areas, we often see people fighting each other at night. It's not too common for a few people to die."

Qiqi said a little angrily, she had seen reports like this often, and she disliked the indifference of many people to their lives.

"Here, this Xiangjiang is so developed, how could it be like this?" Teacher Lin was a little confused for a while. Isn't the more developed the more civilized it is? Why is it worse than the mainland?

"Haha, Teacher Lin, there is darkness in every place, especially in the intersection of Xiangjiang and Xiangjiang. Many problems are left over from history, and some are caused by the government's connivance. In short, it is very complicated. The things inside

I can’t even finish talking about it in one day.”

Zhao Hong explained with a smile.

"Are you very unsafe?" Professor Zhao said a little worriedly, and when he said this, he glanced at his daughter.

"Don't worry, the people in society here are still a bit discerning. And around Qiqi, I have arranged a dozen bodyguards to protect her safety at all times."

Zhao Hong glanced at Professor Zhao and felt a little funny. This was really a daughter slave.

The group of people chatted casually and soon arrived home.

The arrival of Professor Zhao and others made the house more lively.

The old man and Professor Zhao were able to chat together, while Teacher Lin had a good chat with my mother.

In fact, my mother is very envious of Teacher Lin's elegant and chrysanthemum-like temperament. The intellectual beauty she exudes is rare.

In fact, this is also related to her own experience. She has read a lot of books and managed a large company. Over time, her temperament has been gradually developed.

This kind of temperament, which has been refined over time and polished by one's own life experience, is difficult to imitate.

Before we knew it, it was February 4th, and today was New Year’s Eve, which is also New Year’s Eve.

Zhao Hong's family celebrated the festival together. Yazhi, Qingxia, Limei and other children all came to Zhao's house to celebrate the festival together.

He saw a lot of his own children in the room, and felt a little embarrassed.

Especially Professor Zhao and the others are here, this situation is really embarrassing.

And Professor Zhao's sinister eyes made him feel a little numb.

Everyone felt bad.

But the old man and grandma were very happy. What does a house full of children and grandchildren mean?

That's it.

Zhao Hong couldn't stand the discomfort, so on the 6th, he got on a plane and rushed to Berlin.

This time he only brought Li Meimei, who was going to walk the red carpet in Berlin. This was required by the film festival sponsor, which was DreamWorks itself.

"Brother Hong, I haven't been to Berlin yet. I will definitely have a good trip this time." Li Meimei said excitedly as soon as she got on the plane.

"Low-key, there are other passengers!" Zhao Hong shook her head and said.

They did not take their own plane this time, mainly because their private plane could not fly long distances. This would involve crossing several oceans and the distance was long.

But they also fly first class, which is very comfortable.

This time Zhao Hong went to Berlin quite late. In terms of public relations, Jiang Zhiqiang had already led the team there.

Usually these mundane matters are left to him to take care of, so Zhao Hong is quite relieved about this.

Most of his awards in recent years have been received by Jiang Xiqiang. In many regional awards in Asia, Zhao Hong has not appeared at present. Unless it is the anniversary of several decades, it is almost the same.

Zhao Hong currently has hundreds of movie trophies, and many awards are given to him one after another.

Although there are many awards, there are still only a few heavyweight awards.

For example, the Palme d'Or is his most successful award so far.

This time I went to Berlin with the intention of winning another grand prize.

Apart from him, some of the crew of this movie have actually gone to Berlin, among which Adjani is the representative. Although she is French, she can still enjoy herself in Berlin.

Has considerable influence.

When Zhao Hong and others got off the plane in Berlin, they felt that it suddenly became much colder. Although it was cold in Xiangjiang, the temperature was not below zero, but in Berlin the temperature was several degrees below zero.

It was a vast expanse of white, and from a distance, the entire city was covered in snow.

Zhao Hong kind of understands why Berlin can't compete with Cannes in the end. Organizing events like the film festival this season can really dissuade some people!

In fact, the Berlin International Film Festival was originally held between June and July every year, but it was moved to February from 1978, mainly because it wanted to stagger it with Cannes.

It can be seen from this that the influence of this film festival is still slightly lower than that of Cannes.

Also, the architecture in Berlin feels a bit solemn and serious, which is not a favorite for artists who prefer romance and freedom.

Of course, it also has its own advantages. The Berlin International Film Festival's strong political overtones have been distinct from its competitors such as the Cannes International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival, which focus on commercialism.

Other European film festivals rely heavily on stars to gain attention, and the streets are full of film dealers selling films and proposals.

But Berlin relied on its special geopolitical location to attract filmmakers including Michael Powell, Roberto Rossellini and Henri-Georges Clouzot.

"Brother Hong, it's so cold!" Li Meimei shivered as soon as she got off the plane. Although her clothes were thicker, they still couldn't withstand the biting cold wind.

"Haha, I asked you to wear more clothes just now, are you willing?" Zhao Hong said as he took off his windbreaker and put it on her.

"Brother Hong, you are so kind to me." Li Meimei now feels warm in body and heart.

As soon as the two people got out of the plane, they saw the person picking them up. Jiang Zhiqiang came to pick them up in person, holding a big wooden sign with the three words "Jiang Zhiqiang" written on it.

"Boss, Miss Li, this way, this way." This little man had very good eyesight, and he immediately saw Zhao Hong and the others.

"Let's go, the person who picks us up is over there." Zhao Hong pointed in the direction of Jiang Zhiqiang and said to Li Meimei.

Then they walked directly towards Jiang Zhiqiang.

"Boss, why are you here so early? Didn't you say you have to wait a few more days?"

Jiang Zhiqiang said curiously after getting in the car.

"Haha, seeing that you haven't been at home this year, I felt really embarrassed, so I came to get together early."

Zhao Hong said a little shamelessly.

Would he never say that he was forced to leave by Professor Zhao?

Next, Zhao Hong and Jiang Zhiqiang talked about their situation in Berlin during this period.

"Boss, this time our Xiangjiang Films has shortlisted two films, one is your "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and the other is a film invested by our company "Ruan Lingyu", which was directed by Guan Jinpeng. Among the shortlisted films are "

Ruan Lingyu" Guan Jinpeng, and nearly thirty movies including "The Grand Canyon", "Lord of Shadows", "Bugsy", "Cape Fear", "The Captain", "The Winter's Tale", etc."

"One of the most powerful competitors is the film "Grand Canyon" directed by Lawrence Kasdan..."

Zhao Hong nodded while listening. He felt a little bit fucked up in his heart. Especially when he learned that another film "Ruan Lingyu" invested by his company participated in this film festival, he really felt like he had killed a dog.

You must know that in the original time and space of this film, Man Shen won the Best Actress for this film, but this time it was a cliffhanger.

You must know that this movie of his is a movie with a leading female protagonist!

The probability of winning the Best Actress award is too high. If Man Shen didn't get this award, he would be a little ashamed.

Although she is not an artist in her own company, a group of art film directors from DreamWorks really like to work with her, mainly because she shapes each character so perfectly.
