Before 1978, the Berlin Film Festival, like the Cannes Film Festival, was held in early summer, but it was specifically moved to February in order to avoid the limelight of the Cannes Film Festival, which was held in May.
Since then, "fighting the Cold War" has become a major feature of the Berlin Film Festival.
Berlin is not a particularly high-profile city in Europe. It is not as good as London or Paris. Even Rome is far superior to it in terms of historical status in the world; and the Berlin Film Festival seems to have inherited its "low-key"
.
There is no star-studded gathering at the Cannes Film Festival, nor is there the relaxed romance of the Venice Film Festival in mid-summer. Even in terms of weather, there is not even a decent snow all year round. There are only red carpet shows with cold war and German beer.
.
On the surface, the Berlin Film Festival seems to be gradually falling to the bottom among the three major European film festivals, and its influence is getting weaker and weaker. In fact, more than 330,000 tickets and more than 5 million moviegoers all show that,
It is the most attended film festival in the world!
Although the Berlin Film Festival is not a star-studded event, it will not leave many movie fans disappointed:
At the Berlin Film Festival, more than 90% of the respondents said that in addition to the special event atmosphere and extraordinary films, what they value more is the "things that are rarely seen at ordinary times!"
Regarding this "rare thing", the Berlin Film Festival has always had its own insistence, no matter how the outside world belittles it, "it has no commercial value, is too stereotyped, and is too self-isolating!"
In such a cold weather with moderate rain turning to light rain, the Berlin Film Festival ushered in another grand event——
Compared with Mr. Zhuang, Ms. Xia Yu and others who came after him, Xia Yu and the others had already adapted to the time difference here. Later, coupled with their own physical fitness and adaptation to the environment, Xia Yu got up early in the morning and passed on
I put on a down jacket and a transparent raincoat and went out for a morning run.
Of course, in addition to the little ancestor who wants to go out for some fun, there is also Wen Sui, the old dragster who clings to Xia Yu no matter how sleepy or wants to stay in bed. In her words, "I only have a few days, so I have to cling to him and wait."
Once these days are over, she can return home comfortably!"
In most cities in Europe, apart from landmark buildings, the rest of the buildings look almost the same. You can see extremely well-preserved centuries-old buildings everywhere. Of course there are not many people around in Europe early in the morning.
And everyone was wearing normal clothes, and they didn't seem to resist the light rain, they were very natural.
So in this light rain, Xia Yu was probably the only one wearing a raincoat, and Wen Sui was holding an umbrella;
Wen Sui didn't show any shyness when faced with the strange looks of those who suddenly realized, "Oh, Orientals". She was a happy child who grew up in an "encouragement" education. She had her own way of thinking since she was a child. In addition to
She is a bit shy about relationships, and when facing outsiders, she never changes to be herself like a little girl like Meng Dong, because of those "suspicious" looks and whispers.
In her dictionary, there are only two words to say to someone she doesn't like, "It's none of my business, it's none of your business!"
When the two came back from their morning exercise, many people had already gotten up.
The hotel is a three-story building with two small courtyards. The interior of the hotel is a hollow patio style. Although there is a balcony, due to the light rain, not many people stayed on the balcony. Due to the rule of no smoking indoors, everyone ran to the corridor. People were early
Just prepare it and smoke on the bench.
Among them were Comrade Lao Xia, several actors such as Gu Mingtao, and teacher Zhao Jinhong.
The third floor is where Xia Yutuo's family lives, and the creative team of "Jinling Festival" is on the second floor.
The two parties started chatting, but Xia Yu didn't know what they were talking about, because when they came back from morning exercise, the conversation stopped, and after saying hello to Xia Yu, his father also returned to the room with a smile on his face.
"Still keeping the habit of morning exercises?" Gu Mingtao sighed with emotion.
"It's great to be young." Teacher Zhao Jinhong squinted and smiled, but he didn't smoke, but drank the good tea brought from China.
Xia Yu said hello to several teachers and went back to the room with Wen Sui. There were two suites on the third floor. One was for Xia Yu and his family, one was for Tao Tang, Meng Dong, Wen Sui and Xue Tong, and the other was for
The girl Zhao Xinhui was assigned to the only apartment on the second floor.
A freezing rain made people who didn't like the weather here not even plan to go out and walk around. After breakfast, everyone was intimidated until noon before they were ready to leave. Mr. Zhuang had a special team come to greet him.
In the next twelve days, apart from coming back to stay here at night, the old man spent most of the rest of the time leading the jury to review every movie!
The task of taking care of Mrs. Zhuang naturally fell on Xia Yu's family.
As for the main creative team of "Jinling Festival", after last night's negotiation, they also have their own arrangements. For example, Gu Mingtao himself has several big-name endorsements. Although they are basically close friends of the brand and brand ambassadors, they have borrowed from the brand.
There is nothing wrong with the clothes; the remaining few are gone, but Zhuang He's studio has taken care of it, and Tao Tang's pressure has been directly put on Camus.
Who knows your brand the most? I contacted you immediately last night and received an immediate response.
"No problem!" In addition to the three sets of dresses arranged for Xia Yu, another one was also arranged overnight.
Therefore, after Mr. Zhuang was picked up, the rest of the group followed Xia Yu except Gu Mingtao, who acted alone.
The money was given to Wen Sui, and Wen Sui "rented" three of his own private cars directly, all of which were luxury cars.
First a few ladies came out.
"Where to go?" Comrade Lao Xia was only puzzled. Didn't we agree to act together, so why were we left at home?
"The beauty salon, do you want to go?" Ms. Yu Heng strongly invited.
"I won't go, I won't go!" I went to that kind of place, what do you say?!
As a result, Comrade Lao Xia was left in the hotel with Zhang Yunze, Tong Chengping, Zhao Jinhong and the little kid Xia Yi. They continued to chat about the topic they had talked about so early in the morning. What were they talking about? He Lao Xia had a top
What an amazing girl!
However, Xia Yi played games all night and was catching up on his sleep.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, Berlin time, that a few people who had a comfortable beauty treatment came back to pick them up and headed to the Camus Berlin head office - although Ms. Yu Heng and Mrs. Zhuang did not walk on the red carpet, they still
Two sets were carefully selected.
Mrs. Zhuang did not refuse. Who doesn’t have a love for beauty? So what if you are over sixty?
With Mrs. Zhuang's capital, it is not a problem to buy out this Camus store, but she still prefers Xia Yu's arrangement. The smile on her face is very gentle, "Then I will listen to our Yu Bao's arrangement, old bone."
!”
Ms. Yu Heng had more scenes. She was obviously staring at Ms. Camus’ classic winter dress, and she waved to Xia Yu, “Isn’t this bad? I won’t touch your red carpet—”
When Xia Yu heard this, he said "Oh" and said to Tao Tang, "Sister Tang, since you, Sister Yu Heng, don't accept our love, then forget it!"
Yu Heng was angry and gave her a hard look until Tao Tang said,
"Although there is no couple or wedding model, the color and style of your outfit match that of your brother-in-law very well!"
"Look, no matter what I feed you, I'm not as sensible as Xiaotang!"
"That's that-"
After a few words of bickering, Mrs. Zhuang and Yu Heng were led to the restricted area to change clothes. Yu Heng was embarrassed at first, but following Mrs. Zhuang and looking at Mrs. Zhuang’s confident and graceful demeanor, she didn’t panic anymore.
.
What Xia Yu wore this time was also very high-end. After all, there are less than five global endorsements for the Camus women's clothing series. Unlike other top luxury brands, Camus will arrange three to five pieces for them every season to satisfy their needs in various aspects.
"Competing for beauty" at the grand ceremony.
Tao Tang had "work" today and changed into a set of work clothes; while Wen Sui and Meng Dong's job was to accompany Mrs. Zhuang and Ms. Yu Heng, so they both changed into a slightly more playful dress, but added a large
coat.
Xia Yu wears a long black dress made of silk, with a long cape that wraps around her chest, and thick gloves. I originally thought that this outfit would look more cumbersome, but once it was on her, coupled with her tall figure,
The aura suddenly rose.
The shape is slightly curled on the side, and the set of [green peafowl] earrings, rings, and a small necklace from the same series that Donner gave to Xia Yu are not to say that they will definitely dominate the audience, but this set can definitely be placed on
The top three of all Xia Yu’s high-end looks!
Zhao Xinhui has also finished changing, and her dress is bright and elegant, but compared to Xia Yu's dress, it is much inferior. The envy and jealousy in her eyes disappeared in a flash - how could she not be jealous? But she also liked it very much.
Xia Yu.
"It's beautiful!" she praised sincerely.
Tao Tang nodded, Meng Dong hurriedly took pictures, and Wen Sui's eyes were filled with light.
Compared to the dress, Mrs. Zhuang focused on the jewelry on her body and expressed her admiration with a smile, "Donner Chinese special style? Not bad. I will give you a set for your birthday." It's a hundred times better than this!
This was the first time for Ms. Yu Heng to see Xia Yu dressed like this with her own eyes. It felt completely different from what she saw on TV or online. There was no sense of alienation at all. As she looked at it, her eyes turned a little red. After a long while, she smiled and said, "You
Grow up."
When she saw Xia Yi walking from the men's area to the central area, Ms. Yu Heng felt even deeper.
Why did you grow up all of a sudden?
"Very handsome!" Xia Yu commented on this little brat.
He is 1.88 meters tall and has a similar face to Xia Yu, but is more determined.
At the age of eighteen, he was already full of the sunshine of a big boy. When he put on a suit, he looked like a big boy taking a big step forward towards a man. His perseverance contained a sense of unrestrained masculinity and hormones - standing in front of him.
There, there was silence.
He is almost the ascetic male protagonist described in the novel [please fill in your own brain Dennis Wu.]
Probably only Xia Yu's relatives thought, "This kid has finally grown up!"
Not to mention the Western beauties in the store, not to mention Zhao Xinhui, even Wen Sui's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
After staring at it for a long time, "Hey! Why is this brat so handsome all of a sudden?!"
When I looked at Xia Yu again, I already felt a little embarrassed.
In addition, there is Comrade Lao Xia. Although he is not as eye-catching as Xia Yi, if he is placed in the entertainment industry, he is definitely the "top male god in the uncle industry!"
When Zhang Yunze and others saw this family of four, they couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Xia, your old Xia family's looks are so outrageous. If they all join the entertainment industry, it won't be a problem for us like us!"
Comrade Lao Xia just smiled and didn't take it seriously, mainly because his thoughts were similar to Yu Heng's. Looking at Xia Yu who suddenly "grew up", he suddenly felt even sadder, "Why did it suddenly grow so big?
"Am I willing to be taken away by some brat one day?"
They are all small episodes before the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival~
You still have to go to the red carpet show, even if the red carpet avenue outside the Berlin Film Palace is too cold.
As the "opening film" of this film festival and the chairman of the jury, the creative team of "Jinling Festival" is almost in the finale position. This is extremely rare in the history of the Berlin Film Festival, with the Chinese team as the finale.
Immediately there were many doubts, "The Chinese film team will appear as the finale?"
But when everyone learned that the director of this film was "Zhuang He", when the two words "Zhuang He" were released, there was no more "question". Even if more than ten or twenty years have passed, there is still no doubt about the relationship between light and shadow.
For people in the European film industry, "Escape" and "Blood Plum" have a profound impact on their history of light and shadow education!
But in fact, 80% of the stars on the red carpet at the "Berlin Film Festival" are from Germany, plus the red carpet is more than ten meters long. If you look at the Cannes Film Festival, all comers are welcome. With a little bit of connection, Internet celebrities can do it.
Walking through the extra-long red carpet has increased your influence and attention; while the Berlin Film Festival only allows film team members who have applied to participate or been invited to appear on stage;
It is not difficult to understand why it is called the "most low-key red carpet" of the three major international film festivals.
Compared with the massive Cannes Film Festival, not many people in China pay attention to this event, and more than half of this small audience came for Xia Yu and "Jinling Festival".
And with the efforts of domestic reporters and media studios.

[Director Zhuang He serves as jury chairman of the Berlin Film Festival]
News such as "Literary Goddess Fu Yijun's new film is shortlisted for the main competition" and other news have been spread back to China, causing a storm on the Internet!
Xia Yu is particularly popular, but it is not as high as before, and it will not cause the paralysis of "Weibo". However, coupled with the influence of Zhuang and the two, this matter has spread throughout the major Internet portals and made headlines.
Topped the list of hot searches on Weibo.
Reporters were asked to post, but Meng Dong went straight to business and posted six photos of Xia Yu's style, which were immediately praised.
Regarding these, Xia Yu might have had some fluctuations a year ago, but now, he is relieved with just a smile.
The red carpet was led by Mr. Zhuang. After the red carpet, Xia Yu was also remembered again, although it was only a small part. "Are you the heroine of "Painting the Ground as a Prison"?" "This Chinese actress seems to be Camus."
The global spokesperson for the women's clothing series is the heroine on the Camus display window at the airport?" "Facing the cover girl of last December's issue!"
Thanks to the glory of Mr. Zhuang, during the interview, in addition to domestic reporters, Xia Yu and others also gained the favor of many foreign reporters, especially Xia Yu, who was also noticed by other groups because of the new "donner" model.
Others may be slightly uncomfortable with these flashing lights, but Mr. Xia Yuzhuang always maintains a faint smile. No matter how dazzling he is, he does not panic and still maintains a natural blinking state!
He was also able to handle interviews with ease, and his fluent American pronunciation surprised everyone.
The interview is over.
Berlin time.
8:45 p.m.
The opening ceremony of the film festival is about to begin;
The opening film is "Jinling Festival", which is also the premiere of this film so far!
