The premiere of A Game of Unfinished Chess is at 7 p.m., which is the prime time for the premiere of the film. There is still an hour and a half before the official release of the movie, and the front of the movie palace is already lively like the New Year.

Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and in addition to more than 200 journalists from all over the world, the rest were avid fans, both in Germany and in other European countries. Because the weather was so cold, almost everyone wore thick cotton clothes, hats, and even masks, and from a distance, it looked like a herd of bears gathering.

"A Game of Chess That Didn't End" is the most popular film at this year's film festival, and there are many stars and directors who came to cheer. The jury was led by Jeanne Moreau, the directors led by Houmai, and the actors led by Hannah Xugura. This squad certainly can't be compared to Cannes, but for West Berlin, it's already star-studded.

Hannah Xugula's appearance surprised many people, after all, she didn't know Xu Wangqiu, and there was no movie starring her in this year's film festival, and she left after hosting the opening ceremony. However, the reporters also thought it was too strange, after all, Xu Wangqiu's film concept was very close to Fassbinder, and they were both young geniuses, and there were many similarities. As Fassbinder's queen actor, it's normal for Hannah Hügura to come over and cheer.

The most surprising thing for media reporters and the audience was undoubtedly the appearance of the Hollywood crew of "My Fair Lady". This comedy, directed by acclaimed director Sidney Pollack, is the film in the screening unit thanks to the starring roles of famous Hollywood stars Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange. "My Fair Lady" will be screened tomorrow, and no one expected Dustin Hoffman to appear on the red carpet of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" just a few hours after they arrived in West Berlin.

Today is the premiere of "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished", and Xu Wangqiu and the crew of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" are naturally the finale. Mikuni Rentaro and Yoshiko Yamada together, Sun Daolin and Qiu Suyun together, Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori together, while Xu Wangqiu and Junya Sato walked together. When they appeared on the red carpet, the reporters on the scene began to press the shutter frantically, and the intense flashes reflected the night into day.

In Europe and in West Berlin, Xu Wangqiu is the most famous and most popular with the media. When Xu Wangqiu and the others appeared on the red carpet, nearly seventy percent of the reporters were now going to him. The reporters on both sides of the red carpet couldn't stop shouting: "Xu, look here!", "Xu look here!", especially the reporters on the back of Xu Wangqiu, shouted very loudly, hoping that Xu Wangqiu would turn around quickly so that they could take pictures.

Tang Yuqiang wore a black dress with a white bow tie and a white shirt, looking graceful, while Akina Nakamori wore a beautiful kimono, which looked elegant and charming, revealing a quiet and elegant oriental beauty. Such a combination would be the center of attention on any red carpet, but at the moment they are on the margins, and the hearts of reporters and spectators are not on them.

Akina Nakamori saw the strong flash released by the flash, like a moth to a fire, slapping on Xu Wangqiu's body, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xu is really popular!"

Tang Guoqiang nodded slightly: "Wangqiu is like this, no one can resist his charm." ”

Due to the low temperature in West Berlin, it was even lower this morning after another light rain. Although Xu Wangqiu wore autumn pants, he still felt that the cold was pressing, and he couldn't wait to walk the red carpet in three or two steps and rush into the movie palace. But the on-site reporter didn't let him go at all, and when he walked a little faster, the on-site reporter screamed, so that the security personnel had to catch up with Xu Wangqiu and ask him to stop so that the reporter could take pictures.

Xu Wangqiu couldn't help complaining in his heart, he had known this, it was better to wait for the premiere of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" before issuing a declaration! Although he was unhappy, Xu Wangqiu still kept a smile on his face when facing the reporter.

When Xu Wangqiu and the others walked to the gate of the Movie Palace, they were welcomed by the chairman of the film festival, De Harden. At the opening and closing ceremonies of the festival, as well as the premiere of the films in the main competition unit, the president of the festival will stand at the gate of the Palais du Cinémato, welcoming the guests, which is a tradition and a common etiquette of the festival.

De Harden hugged Xu Wangqiu and said with a smile: "After your film declaration was released, it received a lot of support and attracted a lot of criticism. But I'm sure that after today's premiere, any doubts about you, any doubts about you, will be dispelled. ”

Xu Wangqiu said confidently: "I think so too. Considering that De Harden didn't know Junya Sato, Xu Wangqiu introduced: "This is directed by Junya Sato, and this movie was co-shot by me and him. This is the famous actor of Toei Mikuni Rentaro......"

After introducing Junya Sato to De Harden, Xu Wangqiu and the others stood in a row, facing the media reporters and spectators at the scene, smiling and waving to everyone.

After entering the hall of the Cinema Palace, Junya Sato and the others were surprised to find that their pictures were hung on the walls on both sides. The photographs are framed, and with the classical shooting style, they resemble classical oil paintings. The staff walked over and handed them the marker pen and asked them to sign their photo.

Xu Wangqiu knew that this was a unique tradition of the Berlinale, and it was still alive when he participated in the Berlinale in his last life. Of course, this treatment is only available to the films in the main competition unit, and not to the films in other units. Xu Wangqiu picked up the microphone pen, wrote the words "Xu Wangqiu" at the bottom of his photo, and then returned the pen to the staff. After Junya Sato and the others signed excitedly, Xu Wangqiu walked into the screening hall with everyone.

Entering the screening hall, Xu Wangqiu and the others came to their seats and sat down, waiting for the screening to begin.

Junya Sato turned his head to look at Xu Wangqiu and said with a smile: "Wangqiu, you really have a big heart, you are not nervous at all at such an important premiere." ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that it was not the first time for me to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, and the quality of the film was good enough, so what was there to be nervous about, and chuckled: "I have confidence in our films, and I believe that film critics and West German audiences will like it." Why, you don't feel nervous, do you?"

Junya Sato chuckled, "I'm really a little nervous, and my heart is up and down." ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that although Junya Sato had been in the film industry for many years, once he premiered at the film festival, in the face of reporters from all over the world and strange German audiences, he, the "old director", became a little lacking in confidence, and smiled and comforted: "Relax, our movie will definitely be fine." ”

The lights in the screening room quickly went out and the movie began to play.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was a deep blue sky, the whole sky seemed to have been washed with water, without a trace of variegation, peaceful and peaceful. Suddenly, a hurried bell rang, and the quiet world was shattered, followed by the shouting of children, and the noise rang out. The audience realized that it was time for the end of class, and the children ran out of the classroom.

The camera slowly moves downward, and the five-star red flag appears in the shot, fluttering in the wind. The camera continues to move downward, and the empty shot becomes a long shot, and the viewer can see that this is a small town. The camera continues downward, and an elementary school appears in the shot. In the open space of the school playground, children are happily playing games.

Little Ah Hui was playing with children on the playground and accidentally fell to the ground. Guo Yishan walked out of the classroom with his textbooks in his hand, saw Xiao Ahui falling, hurriedly went over to help him up, and said with concern: "Does it hurt?" Xiao Ahui smiled and said "It doesn't hurt", patted the soil, and ran into the group of children. Guo Yishan shook his head with a smile and walked into the office.

A little boy said enviously: "Ah Hui, your grandfather is so good to you!"

Xiao Ah Hui said proudly: "Of course!"

In the office, several teachers are playing Go around a chessboard. Guo Yishan glanced at it boringly, picked up a pictorial and flipped through it. In the close-up, the pictorial reads that the Toei Go delegation is about to visit China, and posts the photos and names of the Toei players, and the name of the flag bearer in the middle of the picture is Matsuba Rinsaku.

Seeing this news, Guo Yishan was dumbfounded, and his whole face completely lost its color. He put down the magazine, opened the drawer with a trembling hand, rummaged through it, and muttered, "Where is the knife!

The teacher sitting opposite felt that something was wrong with Guo Yishan, and asked, "Teacher Guo, what's wrong with you?"

As if he hadn't heard, Yishan was desperately rummaging through the drawer, muttering: "Kill him!

The camera suddenly shook violently, and the picture switched in the violent shaking, but because the camera shook more violently, I couldn't see the content of the picture clearly, and I could only see what a man seemed to be looking at. The camera shook for three or four seconds before returning to normal, and at this time the audience noticed that the man in the picture was Guo Yishan, but unlike the white-haired Guo Yishan in front, the Guan Yishan in front of him was very young, looking only thirty or forty years old, and he was sitting at the table at this time, watching chess games under the light.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the screen: "You don't seem to know anything about things outside." Now there is a war everywhere......" Immediately after, Wanyi played by Xia Meng appeared in the camera. She walked in front of Guo Yishan, took a tape measure to measure Guo Yishan's waistline, and said in a complaining tone: "In these years, you have to travel thousands of miles to play chess, and you have to take a child, aren't you crazy?"

The reporters and the audience at the scene all showed surprised expressions, the pictures had switched, and the time had returned to when Guo Yishan was young, but outside the painting, Guo Yishan's voice had not disappeared, and the sound of breathing was still wheezing, and he was still muttering: "Kill him!

It's so weird, and even too amateurish, that a first-year film school student wouldn't do it. It's not impossible for the character to cut the camera while he is talking, and after the camera cuts, the character continues to unfinished through the voiceover. But at this time, it is usually an empty shot, or a panoramic shot. I won't give medium and close-up shots, and the characters in the lens won't speak, otherwise the characters inside and outside the screen are talking, and the audience doesn't know who to listen to.

Jeanne Moreau was very surprised by this, thinking to herself what was going on, even a novice would not make such a mistake, right?

Hannah Xugura sighed slightly, thinking that although the Chinese director had a similar concept to Werner, the level was too far behind, and Werner's films would never make such mistakes.

Roger Ebert, the famous film critic of the Chicago Sun, likes Xu Wangqiu's "Hoe Rape" very much, but he doesn't like "Falcon" very much, he was originally looking forward to "A Game of Chess That Didn't End", but at this time he also shook his head slightly, thinking to himself How could Xu Wangqiu make such a mistake, you are reminiscing, the pictures have been switched, time and space have changed, why is the hero's breathing still there, this is just chaos!

The Italian reporters present all smiled, this is just nonsense, the camera has switched to the sound of breathing and talking, it is estimated that it was not cut clean when editing, this level of film is not qualified to be shortlisted in Venice at all, West Berlin still treats such a movie as a treasure, it's really funny.
