Don't look at Mr. Lu calling for wind and rain in the mainland, he is really going to the Berlin Film Festival, and few people know him!

But no one ignored him - the promotion of "Fireworks in the Day" was done well, and the Berlin Film Festival officially gave four screenings!

Just looking at the shortlisted films in the main competition unit, I feel that the Germans are really resolute!

Just like the Venice Film Festival, stick to Hollywood!

Among the 18 films shortlisted for the main competition this time, only one film directed by American director Billy Bob Thornton, "Jayne Mansfield's Racing Car", is of American origin, and it is also a Russian-American co-production, and most of the rest of the participating films are from Europe, and the result of de-Hollywoodization is very thorough.

Another North American film is Canada's The Witch of War.

Although it is a Canadian film, the story of the film takes place in a war-torn country in Africa and tells the story of the troubled fate of a girl.

Hard Anal Hollywood!

Awesome!

And then what?

This was done in previous years, and as a result, the festival lost two major sponsors, and this year it has become even more shabby: the program is more concentrated, the schedule is one day less, there are 5 fewer films in the competition unit, 400 works participated in the exhibition last year, and only 360 this year...

No way, Hollywood has already conquered the world!

Then I had to let Hollywood films attend the screening unit...

You don't let them come, the sponsors really divest!

Sponsors withdraw, Berlinale can't go on!

Had to kneel and lick...

Therefore, the streets and alleys are full of posters of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible 4", "Men in Black 3", "The Avengers"...

Yankee is disgusting!

The Hollywood Reporter said it directly: Berlin, which is financially strained, needs to use the presence of Hollywood stars to maintain its popularity. It's a pity that none of the films are willing to premiere at the film festival, and they are all films that have been released in the United States or will be released in Europe. We are very sorry to see this scene, and we are sorry to call it second-hand Hollywood.

Second-hand Hollywood...

It's too much!

......

It's winter in Germany, the weather is very cold, and Director Lu is too lazy to go out in the hotel...

The Hyatt Regency is one of the main venues of the festival, where a large number of stars and directors live, and a dedicated press area where they can exchange news.

"Knock knock!"

“... You go open the door!"

"Humph!"

Tangtang put down her phone very unhappily, and glared at Lu Xiaoran, who was leaning on the sofa and playing with cutting fruit...

"I'm out!"

“... Where to go?"

"Nini came to play with me!"

“... Go, go!"

I really admire Tangtang's affinity, on the same plane as "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Lu Xiaoran chatted with Zhang Yimou for a few words, and then fell asleep, and when he arrived in Berlin, he knew that Tangtang and Nini had become one...

Nini even called her agent to tell her that she wanted to join Sugar Candy Studios...

Tsk, if Mr. Lu has this version of the charm, the second ...

Of course, Lu Xiaoran can't stay in the room all the time, he still has to pay attention to the scoring of the house book, as well as the audience's reaction.

"Fireworks in the Day" premiered yesterday, and the live reaction... Not bad.

It was basically a standing ovation.

Leaving the room in the afternoon, Nai'an and Zhang Jin were already waiting for him in the suite.

"Full!"

"I even saw a lot of people queuing up to buy our tickets!"

Zhang Jin was excited.

“... The better the audience's reputation, the less likely it is to win the award!"

Well, this is right, Shi Nansheng brought "New Dragon Gate Inn" to participate in the screening, which was originally going to be screened three times, but then added to 6 shows, and the venue was full!

The Europeans also like to watch the excitement!

Nai An also said: "I asked a few film critics, and they all said that the atmosphere of this movie is very good!"

Over the past few years, Naian has been cooperating with Lou Huohua and has met a bunch of European directors, actors, producers, distributors, film critics, etc...

She single-handedly arranged the promotion of "Fireworks in the Day" in Berlin, produced a large promotional poster in advance, and printed thousands of brochures.

MK2 mainly does PR with the judges.

“... Is there any news from MK2?"

"You're in luck, most of this year's judges have worked with MK2!"

"Mike Lee, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Barbara Sukova, François Ourong, Anton Koban, Siha Farhati, these people are all making literary films, especially Mike Lee, who is the British director who has worked with MK2 the most!"

Lu Xiaoran was very reserved: "... That doesn't mean anything..."

"At least a jury prize!"

"I've borrowed your good words!"

Lu Xiaoran smiled and turned his head to look around: "What about Liao Fu and Yuan Quan?"

"Liao Fu ran to watch "White Deer Plain", Yuan Quan should be shopping..."

""White Deer Plain"?

"Yes... You should really go and take a look, at least support Duan Yihong!"

"It's too cold, too lazy to go out..."

As he was talking, Sugar Candy and Nini came over with a big bag of things...

"We just ran into Meryl Streep, good fellow, there's a bunch of people around her!"

Meryl streep...

She is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival!

In fact, when Chinese actors come to Berlin, except for those few big bulls, others are probably boring, and in the shadow of a vote of Hollywood stars, the attention of those literary and artistic coffees in Europa, as well as bitter coffee in Asia, has been reduced to a minimum.

Mr. Lu is still a Venice actor, and "Source Code" has also been released here, with a little bit of attention, Sugar Candy, Nini...

Who knows who they are?

Lu Xiaoran paused for a moment: "... What are you two doing?"

"This bag is chocolate, that bag is a watch! Let me tell you, chocolates and watches in Germany are sold so cheaply!"

“... Are you going to resell?"

"You just resell it, go back and send it to the employees, it will be a New Year's gift!"

“... Why don't you make a purchasing agency here..."

"Purchasing?"

“... I'm talking nonsense, you better do a good job of the tea mountain first!"

Lu Xiaoran hurriedly changed the topic...

Ahem, sugar tablets are rich, I don't know how to spend it, Xiaoran likes to drink green tea - real green tea, so she simply bought a tea mountain.

According to the plan, it will be made like a resort...

But she herself is very busy, and after Chashan bought it, she handed it over to her relatives to take care of...

“... It's okay, these two things don't conflict!"

"You're not in business, you're a filmmaker!"

“... Alright, Nini, accompany me to the room with these things..."

"You two will put on makeup later, change your clothes, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will premiere tonight!"

"Got it!"

Zhang Jin looked at Nini's back, and suddenly said: "Nini and Zhou Dongyu's brokerage contract doesn't seem to belong to the new crown!"

“... You asked Sister Zhong to help solve it, and they... It's all pretty good!"

"Aren't we not going to be artist agents?"
