This was followed by the screening of the opening film of this year's festival, "Soldiers in the City". Directed by French director Jean-Jacques Arnaud and starring Jude Law and Rachel Weisz, this German war blockbuster, known as "the largest investment in the history of European cinema", realistically recreates the thrilling scenes of the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II.

Of course, He Xin has seen the pirated disc, but at this time, he revisited it on the big screen, and although it was the original, he still watched it with relish. At the end of the show, Li Bing, who also didn't understand English but was still very excited to watch it, said that this war movie is better than "Saving Private Ryan".

None of the people present refuted him, but a commercial blockbuster with a strong audio-visual experience like this can only be used as a screening film at the cold Berlin Film Festival, playing a role in setting off the atmosphere, and there is no need to think about the awards.

The next ten days are free screening time, and the films shortlisted for the main competition unit premiere one after another, and the premiere of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is scheduled for February 17, that is, the day before the closing, which is quite a finale.

Another shortlisted Chinese film "Love You Love Me" premiered on February 13, and Sister Jiao Xiongpin is also one of the producers of this film. The two films were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival at the same time, which shows the energy of Sister Jiao.

The film festival is not only an award, but also a film trading market, Sister Jiao, Wang Xiaoshuai and others are still busy promoting films everywhere, fooling film dealers, and even Zhang Xia can't spare time. He Xin and Li Bing completely herded the sheep.

What can you do? I don't dare to go out for a walk, so I can only go to the cinema around the hotel to watch movies, although those movies are the original plus English letters, I can neither understand nor understand, but I really have nothing to do if I don't watch it.

You have to pick and choose, without him, the ticket price is too expensive! Basically, it ranges from 10 marks to 50 marks, and the ticket price of the film shortlisted for the main competition unit is generally 30 marks.

He Xin really wanted to watch "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" again, but that was his feelings! Li Bing, with the expectation of watching a Hollywood blockbuster, dragged He Xin to watch "Drug Network".

The name of this movie is quite familiar, and He Xin estimates that he may have seen pirated discs before. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture before it came to Berlin and was the biggest favorite for the Golden Bear. I don't know why, when He Xin heard this information, he suddenly came up with a strange prediction of "the heat will die".

The film's director, Steven Soderbergh, uses multiple narrative styles, such as the police representing the righteous people who fight drugs, but they are likely to be framed and even suffer a tragic end, or the judge is supposed to symbolize the official anti-drug campaign, but his daughter is addicted to drugs.

may be because he can't understand the dialogue, anyway, He Xin thinks the movie is quite ordinary, and Li Bing also looks boring. The performances of several big stars, including Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, don't see anything amazing, but the actor who plays the Mexican sheriff in it left a deep impression on He Xin, but he only remembered his face, and felt that this guy was very handsome, but he didn't know what it was called.

South Korea's "Joint Security Area" originally thought it was a war blockbuster when I looked at the poster, and the heroine in it was still the familiar Dae Jang Jin Lee Young-ae, but it turned out to be a slow-paced literary film about the friendship between soldiers in the north and south of South Korea and North Korea, which was very boring, and I was reluctant to leave the scene early, and I almost fell asleep.

What the two are looking forward to the most is the RB movie "Dog God", because the movie poster has white legs and body entanglements that are too tempting. It's always okay to see, the two discussed it, and secretly pulled up Zhang Xia, a Taiwanese who claimed to be proficient in German, French, English and Japanese, and asked him to help translate.

This RB movie really didn't disappoint everyone, and Yuki Amami, who has long legs and a royal sister Fan, staged all kinds of unpredictable scenes with a feminine taste.

This kind of plot that breaks through the three views, He Xin was dumbfounded when he listened, and Li Bing was "lying down", secretly sighing that the culture of RB people in this regard really has a long history.

Even putting aside this kind of unacceptable plot with a heavy taste, just talking about the extremely colorful boat scenes in it, He Xin secretly compared it with "Lust and Caution", which once amazed him, and found that the two were not on the same level at all, and Ang Lee's attainments in this area were far inferior to the director of "Dog God", Mato Harada. No wonder after watching the movie and returning to the hotel, Li Bing couldn't wait to get into the bathroom.

On February 13, "Love You Love Me" premiered, there were not many shows, and the theater arranged was also very small, and the organizers obviously looked down on this movie.

Lin Zhengsheng, who looks very similar to a fathead fish, He Xin has no impression, but Wang Xiaoshuai seems to be quite familiar with him. is the two leading actors, Shen Lian (Zhang Zhen) and Ghost Sister (Li Xinjie) made him look forward to this movie a little.

Everyone greeted each other, walked into the theater, and found that there were few people inside, and it was very deserted, until the movie began to be screened, and it was not until the movie began to be screened that less than one-third of the audience could be seated.

Maybe it's because I've watched too many foreign movies these days, and when the familiar Chinese words sounded on the screen, He Xin and Li Bing couldn't help but turn their heads to look at each other at the same time, and they felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in their hearts.

This is a youth romance film, but to He Xin's surprise, this film does not deliberately render the romance and warmth of youth, but has some black humor.

Zhang Zhen's countryman Xiaofeng came to his dream Taipei after being discharged from the army, a bit like a migrant worker going to the city to work, while Fei Fei, played by Li Xinjie, is a rebellious city girl who ran away from home and became a coolly dressed betel nut girl.

Xiaofeng and Fei Fei fall in love, Xiao Feng desperately earns a lot of money for Fei Fei so that he can gain a foothold in the big city, but he accidentally gets involved in the underworld life, and Fei Fei is unexpectedly favored by the film director and begins to enter the acting career. The two lovers had a bad fate in their young and wanton flying years, and due to the disparity in status, the two gradually drifted apart, and finally Xiaofeng went to the point of no return.

Compared with Zhang Zhen's mature acting skills, He Xin was very impressed by Li Xinjie's almost primitive performance. The ghost girl turned out to be singing, and "Love You Love Me" is her first movie, probably because of this, she played Fei Fei without the slightest trace of deliberate performance, more like acting in her true colors.

Thinking about his situation when he was filming "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", He Xin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and the two seemed to have a kind of similarity.

With tears in laughter, "Love You Love Me" is indeed a good movie,

Finally arrived on February 17th, the premiere of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", although it was the finale, but this time point was somewhat embarrassing, because at this time, the film field magazine "Screen" of other main competition units had already scored points, such as Lin Zhengsheng's "Love You Love Me" scored 2.4 points, ranking in the middle of all films, which is a good result.

Another example is the staggering RB movie "Dog God" that He Xin and Li Bing watched, only 1.8 points, the third from the bottom. Of course, the highest is the biggest hit of this year's film festival, "Drug Network", with a score of 3.2.

Although Wang Xiaoshuai didn't say anything in the past two days, everyone could see that the director was very nervous, and the more he got to the end, the more nervous he became. may be the last movie to premiere, the audience is quite face-saving, the theater of 500 people actually has an eighty percent attendance rate, and the creators who stood at the door to welcome the guests finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, a few foreigners came, Wang Xiaoshuai and Sister Jiao saw it and quickly led everyone to meet it. Led by an old man in his seventies, he shook hands with everyone with a smile and chatted with Wang Xiaoshuai a few words. This old man He Xin met at the opening ceremony, he is the chairman of the organizer of the film festival, and it is said that he will step down next year.

The presence of the old man made Wang Xiaoshuai happy, which shows that his movie is likely to have a drama!
