The eleven-day Berlin Film Festival, which seems to be so long, but seems so short, is like a touch of sunshine falling in the palm of the palm in the harsh winter, without having time to leave the warmth, it has disappeared in a blink of an eye, and I can't help but close my palm, trying to catch the tail of the sun, but it is just empty.

As a result, the red carpet of the main venue has become the last place for fans to carnival, with screams, shouts, and cheers.

In fact, among the film festivals, the closing ceremony and award ceremony are the most lonely and dull part.

Because the real top big names, regardless of whether they win the award or not, often choose to leave the film festival after attending the premiere of the film, and at the award ceremony, the absence of the winner is not uncommon, even if the main committee confirms the list of winners and recalls, it still can't save the dim star at the end of the day.

This is true not only in Berlin, but also in Cannes and Venice.

Tonight is no exception. The red carpet scene, which was less than 500 spectators, was not even comparable to the premiere of "Detachment" in Berlin, let alone the premiere of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster.

But the audience of only 500 has become the envy of countless people, not only because Lan Li attended the closing ceremony, but also because Lan Li stayed on the red carpet for more than 45 minutes, signing autographs, hugging, taking pictures, and kindly and friendly to fulfill all the wishes of fans.

What's even more commendable is that Lan Li stopped many times and had a brief exchange with the fans - he remembered that he remembered all the fans he met in the cinema and the movies he watched and debated together, and even talked and laughed about the evaluation of these works in the official house magazine, and then further discussed them in depth.

Such a small action, seemingly simple but extremely rare, successfully captured the heart of the city of Berlin, and fans released their enthusiasm to the fullest and frantically, in this cold winter and cold wind night, in the middle of the night when the temperature was below zero, on this red carpet of less than 50 meters, the 62nd Berlinale ushered in its own moment.

Many years later, when people mentioned this event again, they suddenly seemed to have forgotten the winner of the Golden Bear Award and the exhibited works at that festival, but they still remembered clearly: Lan Li, who had just turned 22 years old, landed on the three major European film festivals for the first time, but showed a demeanor and posture that did not look like a newcomer at all, and successfully won the support and enthusiasm of those art lovers.

That was the beginning.

"Lan Li, wait...... Wow!" the red carpet presenter, Klaus-Bock, stopped Lan Li and tried to conduct a brief interview, but the cheers of the audience could not be stopped, and the roar did not sound like five hundred at all, even if it was five thousand, it would be fine.

For the organizers, this is definitely the best news, and they even hope that the atmosphere can be more lively.

With the same idea in mind, Klaus asked one of the simplest, most cliché, most common and yet most popular questions, once again pushing the atmosphere to the high/high tide, "Welcome to Berlin." Not long ago, at the 'detached' press conference, you showed off your talent for languages, so I wonder if you know a little German?"

Lan Li showed a slight surprise and smiled brightly, but nodded to the audience on either side, and said in standard German, "Good evening, Berlin." At this moment, the audience was completely fried, the screams were out of control, and the entire red carpet burned vigorously.

When each crew arrives in a different country to carry out promotion, it is a common practice all over the world to learn a local greeting or two to get closer to the audience. At the press conference before, Lan Li joked that if it was just a greeting "hello", he could speak more than 200 languages - 200 is an exaggerated expression, but it also proves the popularity of such a trend.

"I didn't know that the audience in Berlin loved such a greeting as well. This is the reason why Lan Li was surprised, the Berlin Film Festival, which has always been cold, is really unexpected, "I should have performed at the press conference if I knew this." Perhaps, the film could have received more praise. ”

casually ridiculed a "detached" bipolar comment.

Such humor was instantly captured by the Germans, and there was a burst of laughter around them, and some people even shouted directly, "If you don't look good, you don't look good, no matter how handsome you are, it's useless", followed by a large burst of laughter.

Klaus was no exception, the smile on his face couldn't be controlled, but the surprise in his eyes couldn't be hidden. Because of the two sentences just now, Lan Li still uses German. It's amazing how you can express yourself coherently, rather than learning the German phrase "hello or thank you" on the fly.

German is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world.

The reason why I say this is because the practical use of many languages is relatively simple, from level 1 to level 6, corresponding to simple to proficient, and after learning level 1, then you will express some simple everyday words, with more and more advanced, the ability to express yourself more and more abundantly and fluently, but German is not good, only when you learn level 4 and above, you can fully express yourself, before that, in addition to introducing yourself, even speaking is extremely difficult.

Just now, Lan Li expressed his thoughts completely and accurately, and even mixed it with humor.

"Are you sure this is your first visit to Berlin, Lan Li?" Klaus exclaimed.

Lan Li showed a shallow smile, "This shows that my German teacher is indeed from Berlin." The subtext is: That's why his accent doesn't leak the details.

Instead of answering Klaus's question, he made a roundabout show, and that arrogant gesture, and a little humor that came at hand, once again provoked laughter from the audience—laughter from the Germans, such a grand occasion, it is really rare to see in many years.

Such enthusiastic support, such a familiar social network, such apt humor. Standing on the red carpet, the blue ceremony is easy and comfortable, not to mention the newcomers who attend the Berlin Film Festival for the first time, even those who have been rolling here for many years, the performance may not be more brilliant.

British humor, German rigor, American cheerfulness, the blue ceremony has truly become a rare and beautiful scenery of the Berlin Film Festival. Klaus firmly believes that if Blue Rite continues to bring art and landings in Berlin, then he will become the darling of the city.

"At this year's festival, you were seen in many movie theaters, you should have watched a lot of works, do you have a special favorite?" Klaus continued the interview, switching back to English mode, trying to keep Lan Li on the red carpet.

"'It's just the wind'. Personally, I really like the texture of the picture and the emotions revealed by the camera. Lan Li didn't hesitate, he directly chose his favorite, and the content of the words was substantial, "The perspective of the movie is also very intriguing. If I could, I would vote for me. ”

Klaus thought that Lan Li was bound to mention "detachment" in passing, more or less, actors always have to promote their works, but unexpectedly, Lan Li objectively selected his favorites as an audience. If you think about it, but it makes sense, "Would you like to be a member of the jury in the future?" ”

"Ha, far, far away. Of course, why not?" Lan Li chuckled, emphasizing the "distant" twice in a row, implying that it couldn't be more obvious: this was his first trip to the Berlinale and there was no need to rush it, "I am very willing to share my personal artistic taste with everyone, and then explore the creative world of film art together." ”

Klaus felt surprised again, and this time, he expressed it directly, "Are you sure you are only twenty-two years old?" The wisdom and composure displayed by Lan Li, and even the artistic taste, really did not look like a young man at all.

"I have an old soul, like 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. Lan Li said half-truthfully, half-jokingly, and whistles came from both sides of the red carpet, mixed with laughter and admiration, which was really jubilant.

Moments later, Jake Gyllenhaal arrived on the red carpet.

At the closing ceremony, the jury members appeared, which was the highlight. In the midst of everyone's cheers, Jack and Lan Li chatted a few words as if no one was around, and expressed their greetings with laughter, and then Lan Li said goodbye, leaving the attention and attention of the red carpet to Jack.

"Young Master, Young Master!" The extremely excited and extremely regretful voice still echoed in the air, and without warning, Jack also turned around and shouted loudly, "Young Master!" and then imitated the appearance of a fanatical fan, and continued to shout, "Young Master, I love you!"

The sudden, earth-shattering shout, a small circle of bystanders next to him were stunned, looking at Jack for some reason, and then at Lan Li, who was full of confusion. In the next second, everyone burst into laughter, and Jack also had a prank on his face, shaking his head and turning his head to look at Klaus, who was standing aside and turned into a stone statue, with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

Immediately, Lan Li also understood, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, looked at Jack's calm back, chuckled and shook his head, and then walked quickly into the main venue. As soon as I entered, someone took the initiative to greet me and say hello - at the young filmmaker exchange meeting the day before yesterday, Lan Li really made a lot of new friends.

There is always more simplicity among young people, there is no politeness and etiquette in social situations, straightforward, pure and sincere. Although the Berlinale is on the wane, it's not without reason that German cinema has always been at the forefront of European artistic creation.

Wave after wave, there was an endless stream of new friends around Lan Li, and the passage of time became faster, and it seemed that the award ceremony was about to start just after arriving at the scene.
