Chapter 460: The Strange Standard of International Film Festivals
Berlin is a city that is shockingly calm, just like the calm, tenacious, and meticulous character unique to the Germans, which is fully reflected in this city.
For example, if a bus is scheduled to arrive at the platform at 8:30, then at 8:27, even if the driver slowly smokes a cigarette and takes a nap, he still has to wait until 8:30.
The rest is to walk the 100 meters and arrive at the bus stop on time.
Although this is a joke, no matter what it is, it fully illustrates the meticulousness of the Germans and their strict compliance with rules and regulations.
It was as if Ye Ming was riding a Maybach provided by the organizing committee. The awards ceremony was coming the next day. That night, Ye Ming attended several press conferences with Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou’s calm
He looks as stable as a rock. Whether it is the Asahi Shimbun, the New York Times, the Times, or even the BBC and other international media, Zhang Yimou can face it calmly. Ye Ming stands beside Zhang Yimou, feeling every moment
With Zhang Yimou's calm mood, finally, after the last press conference, the entertainment empire was opened and it was prompted [The host understands the preliminary system of the Emperor Superstar and takes a leisurely stroll.]
At this time, Ye Ming was a little surprised. [What kind of function is Leisure Walk? Why didn’t I know that this function existed?]
System prompts [Sitting in the Courtyard is an auxiliary function of the Emperor Superstar. Its function is to prevent the host from stage fright. No matter what the occasion is, it can have a strolling performance. The host and Zhang Ziyi have appeared in these several press conferences.
The expression of stage fright just means that you are all behind Zhang Yimou. Even if you have stage fright, it will not attract the attention of reporters.]
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. In such a situation, when he faced the international media, he did have a stage fright in his heart. Fortunately, he always used that professional smile to cover it up.
No matter how hard it was, the reporter didn't notice it, but Zhang Ziyi made it more obvious, always holding Zhang Yimou's wrist tightly with one hand. Only then did Ye Ming understand. When facing the media, it was indeed
It is necessary to have a calm attitude.
After having the mentality of "Wandering in the Garden", Ye Ming felt very relaxed, as if there was no invisible pressure from reporters at the press conference.
When Ye Ming went to the bathroom, he saw Zhang Yimou treating the wound on his wrist in the bathroom, and he had no intention of hiding it from Ye Ming. He said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang still lacks international experience and has never seen big scenes, so...
At this point, my wrists were bleeding from pinching."
This also fully proves how nervous Zhang Ziyi is inside. Zhang Yimou took care of it and covered it up with his shirt, so there was no trace at all visible on the outside.
At this time, he came out with Ye Ming with a smile. As he walked away from Zhang Yimou, he said: "I really can't tell. Ye Ming, this is your first time to come to such an international film festival. It's such a situation."
Next, your performance is surprising, really surprising. I didn't expect you to be so calm. Xiaozhang should really learn from you. She still lacks experience in this area.
"
It was hard for Ye Ming to say anything about this. Everyone could see that Zhang Ziyi was Zhang Yimou's favored girl. Although Zhang Yimou repeatedly said that Zhang Ziyi was not good, it was because he hated iron. If others really dare
If Zhang Ziyi is bad-mouthed, Zhang Yimou will definitely become impatient.
Ye Ming, who has been born in two generations, still has this kind of eyesight. Ye Ming said with a smile: "Director Zhang is joking. In fact, I am also nervous and my shirt is soaked. It is just that I made my debut a little early. I can't bear it.
I persisted and persisted. To be honest, I haven’t even dared to drink from noon to now. I was afraid that I would be nervous and want to go to the toilet. If I always go to the toilet in front of so many reporters at a press conference,
Hasn’t it become an international joke?”
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Ming's humility, Zhang Yimou showed a rare smile and said: "You are too humble. If Xiao Zhang is half as humble as you, then her career in film and television will be
It will be very beneficial, but unfortunately, this needs to be done step by step."
At this time, Zhang Ziyi was waiting on the other side of the corridor. When she saw Zhang Yimou coming out, Zhang Ziyi immediately greeted him and took Zhang Yimou's arm enthusiastically.
At this time, Zhang Yimou seemed to have no intention of stopping, and his interest was very high. He kept saying: "Ye Ming, Xiao Zhang, remember, you are the only one who can show enough arrogance at the International Film Festival."
, only then can we attract everyone's attention and attention. Of course, this kind of arrogance is not about being a big name. Even if Schwarzenegger and Stallone dare to break the rules, they will be blacklisted. As long as you are within the scope of the rules.
, act condescending enough, that is, no one can do anything to you. For example, if a reporter asks you a question, and it is difficult for you to answer, you can say that this question is a bit infringing on some people's human rights. In public places
I think it’s better not to discuss it casually.”
At this time, Ye Ming said that he understood the meaning of this matter very well, but Zhang Ziyi was not very familiar with this matter at that time, and immediately said: "Reporters are very difficult to deal with. If I answer like this, the reporter will not
What should I do if I am satisfied?" In China, reporters are naturally said to be very difficult to deal with, and they can ask all kinds of tricky and weird questions. Zhang Ziyi has only been in the industry for more than a year, but she also understands how reporters work.
It was so overwhelming. Zhang Yimou said very definitely: "Don't worry about this. Maybe what you said may happen in China, but it will never happen abroad. In China
, as public figures, celebrities basically have no rights."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou has a deep understanding of it. After the incident between him and Gong Li came out, in order to avoid the media, he even said that he and Gong Li would shoot a movie like "Ancient and Modern Battles between Qin Terracotta Warriors".
In fact, it was just to avoid reporters from the media. What’s funny is that even with this, Zhang Yimou still won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival. This may be a case of losing something in the past and gaining something in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou felt a little heavy, but thinking about coming to Berlin this time, he should be in a good mood. Being greeted by the Maybach shows that his film has entered the semi-finals in the main competition unit, otherwise it would be impossible to get the award.
This treatment.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou's mood immediately improved when he thought of this, and he said with a smile: "In fact, in foreign countries, personal privacy rights are very protected. Even celebrities have their own privacy rights. Once there are reporters,
If you dare to infringe on this right, just wait to be sued by a lawyer in court. Those foreign lawyers are not very efficient."
This is also Zhang Yimou’s experience. It is simply impossible for ordinary stars to know this, because ordinary stars cannot go to the Berlin International Film Festival. At this time, Zhang Yimou will not give advice to others casually.
Zhang Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "If I act too arrogantly, will I be labeled as a big name? If reporters say that I am a big name at the Berlin International Film Festival, that's not good."
Zhang Yimou was very sure and said resolutely: "This is simply impossible. As long as you are invited to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival, they are all elite films from various countries, and it can be said that they all have merits."
It means that if you don’t have the ability, if you dare to appear superior and have a naturally arrogant expression, that’s because you’re trying to be a big star. But if you have the ability, even if you’re a little arrogant, as long as it’s within the rules, it’s because you’re born cold and arrogant. Such a personality, reporter
He doesn't know what to say. Think about it, Schwarzenegger has such a big face and looks like he won't let strangers in. Who dares to say that he is playing a big role?
Also, even if these star directors such as Stallone, Shaun Yunton, Tom Cruise, Lucas, etc. have a cold face, the reporter will just guess why they are in a bad mood today, instead of saying that they are big names. Because they are
There is no need to be big names at all, they are big names. This is the rule of the international film festival. If you act humble and grovel, then at a time like this, you will be suspected of being incompetent, because in this world
It seems to those reporters that only those who are in trouble will appear unconfident. And we Chinese people have always been humble, which makes us very disadvantaged. It is very helpless to say that Westerners know too little about us in the East.
You can only use this crappy way to treat us. I also learned this through some twists and turns. I hope these experiences can be useful to you."
These experiences are naturally very useful. Although Ye Ming has been born in two generations, he did not reach a stage like the International Film Festival in his previous life. Such experiences are very useful to him.
important.
Therefore, Ye Ming said very politely: "These experiences are very valuable. Thank you Director Zhang for your guidance. I will definitely keep it in mind." Without the guidance of seniors, Ye Ming might want to know these experiences.
It takes two, or even three red carpets of international film festivals to understand this.
Therefore, Ye Ming is sincerely grateful to Zhang Yimou for imparting these experiences selflessly.
And at this good time, in a manor, a guy named Moritz picked up a Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain vase and threw it to the ground. He said angrily: "Asshole, you really piss me off. This is a joke." Are you playing with me? Are you not taking our Berlin International Film Festival seriously? You can come and leave whenever you want, treating our place like a public toilet?"
Anger welled up in his heart, and Moritz stretched out his foot and kicked the broken blue and white porcelain bottle aside. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
