Zhang Yimou has a great reputation abroad, so even though the movie "Hero" has not yet been released, Director Zhang still received an official invitation from the Berlin Film Festival.

Although Li Yi doesn't know what awards this film will win in the end, he knows that the movie "Hero" is the first martial arts masterpiece directed by Director Zhang's transformation, and it is considered a milestone in the "blockbuster era" of Chinese films, so it will not be far behind.

Thinking of this, Li Yi was a little excited.

After all, Li Lianjie, Zhang Yanyu and others will not follow Mr. Zhang to participate in this film festival, as long as he goes to the film festival, then it can be regarded as in line with foreign celebrities.

"Hehe, it feels pretty good. ”

After Li Yi told Song Yingying and others about this, he also began to pack his luggage and went to Kyoto to meet Zhang Yimou.

When they met, Zhang Yimou was wearing a pair of sunglasses, sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping tea, looking at Li Yi.

Li Yi greeted, "Uncle Zhang, you are so leisurely!"

"It's also a pleasure to have a cup of tea in the restaurant at the airport, okay, let's go." Zhang Yimou stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Yi, who had just sat down, looked confused, I didn't drink this sip!

But then he realized that the time for boarding the plane was almost up.

Security check, waiting, and getting on the plane, Li Yi sat next to Zhang Yimou.

There weren't too many people in first class on the flight to Berlin, so nearly half of the seats were taken by Zhang Yimou's team.

Zhang Yimou looked out the window and asked Li Yi: "Xiaoyi, have you ever understood the Berlin Film Festival?"

Li Yi checked this point on the Internet in advance.

The Berlin International Film Festival, together with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival, is known as the three major international film festivals, and the highest award is the "Golden Bear Award".

Its purpose is to strengthen the exchange of film workers from all over the world and promote the improvement of film art.

So it's worth it to go to the Berlinale and meet some international celebrities.

"Well, I know a little bit. Li Yi nodded in response.

Zhang Yimou saw that he had done his homework, so he said: "That's good, it's just that foreign media have never had a high evaluation of domestic actors, so you have to be psychologically prepared." ”

"I know. Li Yi smiled, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I'm thick-skinned, it's okay, I can stand it." ”

"I just want you not to be so cheeky!" Zhang Yimou suddenly became serious.

Li Yi didn't quite understand, "Ah? ”

"Aren't you usually in TV dramas with a slap in the face?"

When Li Yi heard this, he thought that this old man was quite in line with the trend, and he even knew that he was pretending to be forced to slap his face!

"Uncle Zhang has watched "Dou Po" or Chen Beixuan?" asked Li Yi.

Zhang Yimou waved his hand: "I haven't seen what you said, it's just that these are all plots that will be used in filming, so of course I have to be, right?

After listening to Zhang Yimou's words, Li Yi described him in two words.

Authentic!

"So if the foreign media criticizes your acting skills, you can just slap your face! ”

Although Zhang Yimou smiled, he kept a straight face: "I also brought you that set of Qin King Dragon robes in case you need it." ”

"Received!" Li Yi thought to himself, he was just going to complete a task, as long as he kept a low profile, he wouldn't be caught by those media, right?

After a while, Zhang Yimou gradually dozed off.

After all, this plane has to fly for more than ten hours, and ordinary people really can't stand it.

The plane landed, and the team arranged the car and the hotel to stay in.

After a two-day break, the Berlinale is finally open!

Zhang Yimou took Li Yi to attend the meeting.

Every artist and director will have a close-up of the red carpet when they enter the show.

When Zhang Yimou walked in, all the cameras were focused on him.

Old Man Zhang was very calm, slowly walked across the red carpet, and waved to those media reporters.

When Peter Jackson saw Mr. Zhang, he immediately walked over enthusiastically.

"Hey, dear Mr. Zhang, long time no see!" Jackson gave Zhang Yimou a big hug.

Zhang Yimou also returned the salute and greeted each other.

Li Yi was a little excited when he saw that the famous director Jackson was also here backstage.

The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogy were written by Peter Jackson.

"Let's have Zhang Yimou direct Li Yi, the star of "Hero"!" the host introduced in fluent English.

Li Yi took a deep breath, then walked out of the backstage, came to the red carpet, and waved to everyone and the media.

Compared with Zhang Yimou, who had just rushed to take pictures, Li Yi's appearance halved the interest of reporters.

Li Yi didn't care, he thought to himself that after walking the red carpet, he would sit down and sit quietly and complete the task.

But halfway through, he heard some voices.

"Who is he?"

"It seems to be the actor who played the Chinese emperor in "Hero". ”

"Oh, how can such a young actor play the emperor. ”

Sure enough, doubts came.

Li Yi sat next to Zhang Yimou step by step.

Zhang Yimou asked Li Yi: "How is it, walking the red carpet for the first time, are you nervous?"

"Haha, it's okay, I don't feel anything. Li Yi calmed down.

Zhang Yimou was very satisfied with Li Yi's performance: "You kid is really good, you can adapt to the big scene." ”

"Hey, hey. Li Yi sneered: "I'm just thick-skinned, don't worry." ”

The other guests took their seats one after another, and after waiting for everyone, a tall man in a suit and oil-headed man walked onto the stage.

He bowed and said, "All right, gentlemen, ladies, I'm James Bond, and it's a pleasure to see you today, and it's a pleasure to be here today." ”

"Okay, let's introduce today's entries!"

"'Mr. Jones' is a film directed by Agnieska Holland.......!

"Thank God is directed by François Oujon!"

......

The numerous film introductions made Li Yi sleepy, and he didn't get excited until he heard the host say heroes in blunt Chinese.

Mr. Zhang's "Hero" is finally about to be introduced!

For a while, the focus of the audience was on the big screen.

The host even praised "Hero" as heaven and earth: ""Hero" is a visual feast, and all the visual symbols about China "Hero" spare no effort to reproduce Go, calligraphy, sword, guqin, and landscape, oh, damn it, I really feel like going to China once." ”

Just when the host sighed, a foreign reporter stood up and asked directly: "Oh, as far as we know, there are Kung Fu Jie and Ms. Zhang Ziyi and others in this movie, which is understandable, but why did director Zhang Yimou bring Mr. Li Yi, who played a supporting role, to the film festival?"

In foreign countries, as long as you have a different idea, you can speak directly.

So he really wants to understand why Li Yi was able to overpower many movie stars to come here.

When Li Yi heard this, he sighed in his heart: Damn, it's really here.
