The main venue of the Cannes Film Festival is the Palais du Cinéma, located by the sea, and the entire area next to it has been redesigned for each country to set up tents and showcase the film history and culture of their own countries.
This small city was born for movies.
The main venue of the Venice Film Festival is located on Lido Island, away from the bustling and commercial main island, Lido Island is a great place for vacation and leisure, the area around the main venue is empty and silent, and the bustling audience can choose at any time to watch a movie or spend an afternoon on the beach.
The festival is rooted in life, but it has a paradise.
Unlike Cannes and Venice, Berlin can't do that. Located in one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, the Berlinale is a very tight venue for the Berlinale. The main venue is located in the most prosperous part of Potsdamer Platz, surrounded by bustling commercial streets, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, office buildings, and even on the right hand side of the main venue, there is a top luxury casino, the whole space is crowded and narrow.
The main venue is only two streets away from the Grand Hyatt Hotel, but the crew members can't walk over it in an approachable and embarrassed way, take the black BMW sedan sent by the official, leave the hotel, make a small circle, and then slowly drive into the commercial street in front of the main venue, and finally stop in front of the main venue.
The red carpet in front of me was crowded and cramped, with a red carpet of less than 15 meters in a space about the size of a basketball court, leading from the edge of the street to the main entrance of the main venue.
On the left-hand side is the press gallery, with a staircase on the ground to facilitate the reporters to arrange their seats layer by layer, and about 100 reporters can be seen in the line of sight, crowded together in clusters, and on the right hand side is the audience entrance channel, where the audience who have purchased tickets or passes, including the audience in the VIP seats, goes through security all the way from the right, and then enters the main venue - the entrance passage is parallel to the red carpet, so the audience stops from time to time and screams and shouts at the crew members on the red carpet.
Half a basketball court's space, it's too cramped and urgent.
Turning around, looking across the street, you can see that the street on the other side is also covered with a red carpet, and the traffic control has been implemented on both sides, dividing an area dedicated to enthusiastic movie fans, and they can even see the cars coming and going behind them, and the daily life is still going on in an orderly manner, undisturbed, this scenery standing in the middle of real life is unique, and it also gives the Berlinale a unique style.
The palm-sized area can only accommodate less than 300 spectators at most, at this time it is full of crowds, and you can see that there are still spectators pouring over on the street behind, and the traffic police in fluorescent yellow costumes are trying to maintain order at the scene, and a busy work scene is full of life.
Whether it is the specifications or the battle, such a premiere is not grandiose and grand, and it can even be said to be a little shabby, even among the premieres that Lan Li has personally attended, it is estimated that it will not be ranked high.
But it is precisely this crampedness and crowding, but also this rich atmosphere of life, which conveys a sense of intimacy, as if ...... It's as if it's not one of Europe's three major film festivals, but it's just a festival for movie lovers, who stop by to catch a movie after work or stop for two hours to watch a movie on their way to the supermarket. That's all.
This kind of atmosphere, even Sundance, even Telluride, can't be compared. The influence of cinema and even art is subtle but deep-rooted in the marrow of Berlin, becoming part of the city of Berlin and part of people's lives.
After getting out of the car, I looked at the reporters and spectators on the left, the flash converged into a dazzling beam, illuminating the entire night sky, and the neon lights of the hazy casino loomed in the sight, and the world became wonderful.
Then I looked at the audience on the right, and the shouts seemed to be a little hesitant, because the distance was a little far away, and they couldn't see who appeared on the red carpet, but the audience at the forefront couldn't wait to start screaming and roaring, and the surging tide was boiling little by little.
Recalling the arrival at the hotel the day before yesterday, those warm and polite faces came to mind, and then Lan Li's footsteps stepped towards the right-hand side. After the chaos of the premiere at Lincoln Center, for the first time, Lan Li took the initiative to reach out to the fans.
"Ahhh
Involuntarily, the smile went up, and Lan Li's footsteps also stepped forward, and then he saw the young girl, screaming with great excitement, "Lan Li, I like you, I like you, I really like you! I like 'Love Crazy' the most, and then I like 'I am fighting cancer', God, you are really handsome, has anyone said that? I will not be able to breathe!" A series of words, without panting, poured out in a bang, "I am so looking forward to 'detachment'! I believe this must be very exciting! Ah, you're so handsome, I'm going to suffocate!"
Lan Li smiled dumbly, took half a step forward, and saw that the girl actually took half a step back—as if she had seen a ghost, and then covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes were round, and she could clearly see the disbelief in those eyes, which seemed to be too close to doubt reality.
The rest of the audience seemed to be infected and laughed.
Lan Li chuckled, and finally stopped, "Thank you." I was going to give you a hug, but ......" Lan Li spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, only to be seen by the audience next to her, shouting one after another, "I! I!" The girl finally reacted and leaned back forward, "Really?
Lan Li did not answer, but made a practical action: walked forward and hugged the girl.
It's a small uphill road, and the main venue is located at the bottom of the slope, so all the fans are all the way up the gentle slope, slowly extending upwards. Lan Li stepped forward and hugged the girl, and then the other audience members also stretched out their hands and carefully put them on his shoulders and back, forming a collective hug.
There was an iron barricade between them, like an ice pick in sub-zero temperatures, but the collective hug was so warm and cordial.
"Lan Li, Lan Li!" The shouts gradually joined together, from the front to the rear, and the people finally came to their senses and realized that the protagonist they had been waiting for for four or five hours had finally arrived at the scene, and then ...... Fryer thoroughly. Not only the three hundred spectators in front of them, but even the streets behind them began to boil.
From a distance, you can see two traffic policemen talking, and at the same time turn around and look towards the red carpet, and then you can see Lan Li, who has released the collective embrace, and the spectators and pedestrians on the street have also gathered, and more and more people in the whole area are getting more and more crowded, cheers, screams, and roars, all gathered together, and smashed down like a mountain of heads, and then the scene was like Moses splitting the Red Sea channel, and the mighty and majestic air waves were constantly circling, whirling, and sweeping in the narrow space.
This is the real super popularity, after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, ushered in unprecedented madness!
Boom, boom. The crazy shout was like rolling thunder, bursting in Lan Li's ears, loosening the collective embrace, and then he saw everyone in front of him boiling, and in the crowd, the burst voice rushed over, "Lan Li! here!" followed the voice, and then saw the four familiar faces last night, and his face couldn't help but show a mischievous light.
He stepped forward and greeted him, only to see that the ginger head was full of incredulity written on his cheeks, and kept shouting, "God, God, God!" It seemed that apart from this sentence, he didn't know what to say, and the other three people were completely stunned, two of them were stunned, and one of them burst into tears, but the stunned and panic in their eyes were so similar that they set off a storm.
"It seems that we did meet at the premiere. Lan Li said loudly, in a mocking tone, and then Mark began to scratch his head shyly, but a big smile appeared on his face, hiding his embarrassment. Lan Li couldn't help but wonder, "I'm glad I was able to help last night, I wonder how your research report is going?"
"Very good, everything is fine!" Mark turned his head to look at his friends, only to find that the three of them had completely crashed, and they couldn't make a sound at all, even the usually articulate Catarina was dumbfounded, so he could only take the initiative to stand up, "Thank you, I mean, thank you really last night." ”
"We are all movie lovers. Lan Li said lightly, and then patted Mark on the shoulder, "Today's movie, I hope you can enjoy it." Whether you like it or hate it, you can sincerely express your opinion. After saying that, Lan Li turned around and walked towards the other fans.
"Lan Li!" the staff on the other side of the red carpet trotted all the way to catch up, came to Lan Li's side, and whispered in his ear, "The reporters are waiting to interview you." ”
Lan Li smiled but said firmly, "They can wait a little longer." Then he walked to the edge of another street, looked at the crazy and enthusiastic audience in front of him, and saw someone holding out a poster and a pen, so he took the initiative to step forward, take it, and sign his name on it.
