Jake Gyllenhaal, the actor who has been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, seems to be extremely senior, but in fact, he was born in 1980 and, like Lan Li, belongs to Generation Y.

Jack's career curve is somewhat similar to George Clooney's, after becoming popular with "Brokeback Mountain", artworks such as "Zodiac", "Source Code", and "Pot Head" have gained a lot of word-of-mouth, but commercial films such as "Prince of Persia: The Edge of Time" and "Love and Elixir" have failed miserably in both word-of-mouth and box office.

Despite this, he still has a loyal fan base and was invited to be a jury member of the Berlinale this year.

"Ahhh

Just when people thought that tonight's heat couldn't go any further, Jack and Lan Li were in the same frame. The shouts tore through the throat and began to change their voices, deform, and evolve into sonic booms, which were sparkling and layered in the cold Berlin night.

After getting out of the car, standing on the red carpet, Jack seemed to be a little dazed, like a lost child, standing in place, looking left, right, forward, back, the overwhelmed eyes seemed to be thinking about the direction of progress, and his footsteps stayed obediently and solidly like this, never moving.

At the end of his hesitation, Jack took a step forward, heading in the direction where Lan Li was. This simple action made the audience boil and the reporters on the scene also boiled.

Compared with the boiling at the scene, Lan Li seemed very calm, not too excited, or rather, unnecessary.

Because the judges who just appeared proved it: Asghar Farhati only nodded his head, and even the reporters only had time to press the shutter a few times before watching Asghar enter the main venue, and Charlotte Gainsbourg lingered for a moment, just saying "good evening" and wishing the film a good day, and then left.

As for François-Ourong, he was even more hurried, if it wasn't for Lan Li taking the initiative to chase after him and talk a few words, I am afraid that he would be like a staff member, low-key refusing to make any stops.

Lan Li has always liked François's films, with their French philosophical reflections, British black humor, and a little German social reality – just a little absurd. Unfortunately, the red carpet was not the best place to talk, Lan Li just said hello politely, and then left politely.

Lan Li guessed whether it was because of their status as judges that they were not suitable for staying longer, or because they were low-key and didn't like the red carpet process. The same should be true of Jack now.

In anticipation, Jack's footsteps stopped in front of Lan Li, and greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations on the release of the movie, I'm looking forward to it." ”

"Thank you. Looking forward to your feedback. Lan Li also replied politely.

Jack's expression was a little restrained, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Li, hesitated for a moment, but then shifted away, and then said, "I think I'd better go to the back and say hello to the audience." ”

Lan Li nodded in agreement, "It seems to have cooled down tonight, and they have been waiting here for almost four hours. That's at least what we can do. ”

Jack's expression was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lan Li's response, he leaned back hesitantly, wanting to turn around and leave, but he was a little hesitant, so he maintained a weird backward posture, his eyes fell on Lan Li, but he didn't speak.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, the Jack in front of him was exactly the same as the one in Hollywood legends. "You should have gone over and said hello, they're all calling you. ”

Jack gently retracted his chin, his gaze fell on Lan Li's eyes, a touch of dragonfly water, and then shyly drifted away, slowly moving, turning in circles, and then retracted, glanced at Lan Li, and unexpectedly found that Lan Li's gaze still did not move away, and immediately hung down in a panic, gently retracted his chin, pointed in another direction, signaled, and the smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily rose.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't say anything after all, so I turned around and took a thoughtful step, and suddenly looked back at Lan Li, the smile on the corner of my mouth became brighter, and it completely bloomed, nodded and waved at Lan Li, and then walked in the direction of the fans.

"Ahhh

Some people have ever wondered why Jack always seems to be hovering between the first line and the quasi-first line, and has never been able to become popular? George Clooney, who is of the same type and on the same route, can be described as the "president of Hollywood" and has infinite scenery. For the uninitiated, this is true, but not for those in the industry.

Jack is an extremely low-key person, and he is not good at socializing, living in his own world - not the autistic kind, but the rhythm of his conversations, laughter, and life are slightly different. The same is true of his sister Maggie-Gyllenhaal and brother-in-law Peter Sarsgaard.

"Prisoner" and "Nemesis" in 2013, "Nightcrawler" in 2014, "Broken Life" and "Desperate Altitude" in 2015, and "Nocturnal Animals" in 2016, in fact, Jack has hopes of competing for the Oscar, if not winning, at least being nominated. But in the end, there was no nomination, and until 2017, his only Oscar nomination was still "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005.

The unfamiliarity and even absence of the college's public relations is an important reason.

In the short period of time, Jack's shyness and restraint, as well as a little weirdness, left a deep impression on Lan Li. But this type of person is all too familiar to Lan Li, George Sland, Tony Kaye, Rooney Mara, etc. In a way, Lan Li himself is too.

Turning around, Lan Li faced the reporters again. However, he didn't linger long, just about five minutes, and then turned and walked into the main room.

He had been on the red carpet for nearly forty-five minutes, cold from his toes to his chest, as if he had been immersed in the Arctic Ocean for a day and a night, the heating in the room was blowing, his stiff muscles began to relax slowly, and the pinprick pain and tingling began to surge, the taste was really indescribable.

Sammy Gale jumped all the way over, stood tightly beside Lan Li, and put her hands behind her back in an orderly manner, "Lan Li, Lan Li, there are really a lot of people here today!" There was an irrepressible excitement between the words, "A lot of people I don't know, I heard, seem to be big shots." ”

Raising her head, Lan Li saw Betty Kaye standing in the corner and didn't dare to move, she was very restrained, looking at Lan Li and Sammy for help, but she never dared to step forward, because there was a large group of people standing in front of her, chatting enthusiastically.

Lan Li patted Betty on the shoulder, "Are you going to meet some new friends with me, or are you going to stay around?"

"Let's stay around, your chats are boring. Sammy thought about it seriously, frowned, and said with a disgusted face, still a child.

"Then go over and stay with Betty, you can sneak up to the second floor, if my news is correct, there should be a buffet table where you can have a little dessert or fruit to cushion your stomach. Lan Li gestured, "Don't forget the showtime of the movie, just come back in time." ”

Sammy smiled and nodded, and ran to Betty, and the two of them chatted and talked, then waved at Lan Li and sneaked in the direction of the stairs.

The entire main venue was indeed crowded and staggered. Before the premiere departed tonight, Andy Rogers had already explained in advance, there should be a lot of big names present tonight, this is an extremely important social occasion, Andy as the introducer, set up the stage, arrange the lighting, and leave the rest to Lan Li.

First the president of the festival, then the members of the jury, and the rest of the people who could be present should be the most important figures in the German film industry, and perhaps the important figures of the Cannes and Venice film festivals - although the three major European film festivals are competitors with each other, in fact, they are far closer to each other than the outside world seems to be in exchange and cooperation, in addition to the important players in the important film markets such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, etc.

Such an occasion is a compulsory course for high society, and even if there is no guest list, Lan Li can guess a rough idea. Of course, the real expert in this area is Arthur.

Just staying where he was for a moment, Lan Li walked straight towards François Ourong without questioning his steps. Those big names are really important, but before the official premiere of "Detachment" – or more precisely, before the official presentation of Lan Li's work, all the conversations are merely pleasantries and politeness, with no real meaning, just a mask. So, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

In contrast, Lan Li gives priority to choosing his favorite filmmakers and starting conversations. What's more, this is the occasion of the movie, and it is the best choice to open the situation with the topic of the movie and in an artistic way. Not so deliberate, not so hypocritical. The methods of George Clooney, Brad Pitt and others are not necessarily suitable for Blue Rite.

In front of everyone's eyes, the bigwigs gathered, and Lan Li's every move was under the supervision of people, and then he was seen unexpectedly walking towards François Ourong. Or rather, it was a logical choice, and all eyes became meaningful, including François himself.

However, the short twenty-minute social occasion ended quickly, and then everyone bustled into the screening hall, "Detachment" is about to be officially screened, and tonight's highlight is finally about to begin.

Wait until you're exhausted, which is also one of the best features of a top-level social occasion.
