Berlin in February is not a good place to visit. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But in February, Berlin is very lively.

Even if it is still a cold winter, it still can't stop the beauties from all over the world from showing off here.

Of course, there are also people who cover it thickly.

"Look over there, face a little more sideways, yes, don't move...... Click, click, click!"

As soon as she heard "okay", Wang Jinglu, who had been posing for a long time, hurriedly ran over, although she was a little bloated, she still showed the unique vitality of a young girl.

She pointed to her watch, "Hurry up, hurry up, it'll be the beginning in a while." ”

As soon as Li Qian put away his camera, he was dragged by Wang Jinglu to another street entrance.

This is Berlin, Berlin in February, the Berlin Film Festival, which is attracting the attention of the whole world, is being held here, after coming to this time and space, Li Qian has only been to Cannes once to watch the film and hang out, but this year, it happened to be a honeymoon, and the itinerary was finalized to come to Berlin to have a look.

So, the two of them had just finished a few days of sightseeing in Australia's wonderful beaches, and then they dug out the padded clothes in their huge suitcases, got ready, and the plane transited through Cairo to Berlin.

At the beginning of the festival, it is the most lively time.

The two of them bought tickets in the morning, walked around several scenic spots, had some food, and then saw that the movie they wanted to watch was about to start, so they hurried over.

When they arrived at the entrance, Li Qian took the initiative to go over and store the camera, and then the two of them went in hand in hand, and sat down at random to watch this Iranian movie with only the original dialogue and German and English subtitles.

As expected, the screening hall was full, and a cursory glance showed that there could be more than 90% or even 90% of the attendance.

Compared with the pitiful attendance rate of the Yangcheng Film Festival in China, Li Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There's no way, Europeans just love to watch movies so much, and people are willing to try to watch films from various countries and various styles, but the atmosphere in China in this regard is really worse.

The Yangcheng Film Festival is held every year in Guangzhou, which is said to be the most economically developed place in China, with the earliest foreign contacts and the closest foreign contacts.

However, there is no way, Chinese also love to watch movies, but the most popular blockbuster, it must be the kind of film that has caused a sensation and heated discussion on a large scale, and everyone is willing to run to buy tickets to watch it. Like those niche and even experimental films, most of them are obscure, and few people are willing to try them.

It is precisely because of the dismal admission to the Yangcheng Film Festival that the Songjiang International Film Festival and the Suncheon International Film Festival, which have been planned for a long time, are declared every year, but the state always refuses to approve them.

Why do you approve it? If you just do it, it will cost the people and money, and it doesn't make much sense!

Of course, this is no wonder Chinese, in fact, such niche, even many of which are obscure in the theme, it is indeed difficult for the vast majority of ordinary audiences to appreciate their "artistic beauty" - even professionals like Li Qian, and Wang Jinglu, who are at least semi-professionals who graduated from the same drama school, feel a little understandable after watching this Iranian film.

When the movie was over and walked out all the way, Wang Jinglu was blank and asked, "What ......is this film?" What the hell are you trying to say?"

Li Qian thought about it for a long time before he reluctantly replied to her, "The director should want to interpret the daily life of an ordinary Iranian woman......? Well, I'm not too good to say. ”

Yes, it's not easy to explain.

The whole movie is 90 minutes, and it is said that it took only three days to shoot, and after the whole movie, there are only a dozen cameras, and the scenes are all gathered in an ordinary Iranian house.

In fact, it took more than two days from the morning of the first day to the afternoon of the third day, and the camera always focused on the daily life of the heroine, a middle-aged Iranian woman who looked to be in her forties.

When you talk about a story, it has almost no story to speak of, you say it's watchable, it's interesting...... Hardly!

However, it seems to be telling something through that peaceful life.

There are some foolish things, which can naturally be told to others, but Wang Jinglu is exempted, and the real inner thoughts and perceptions have not been sorted out for the time being, so they have to go back and smack carefully, so in the end, Li Qian simply shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know how to explain it.

Wang Jinglu was a little frustrated.

After discussing it, the two decided to find a movie to watch after dinner, but this time they were going to watch an American blockbuster to make up for the trauma in their hearts.

Considering the issue of global influence, major European film festivals on the one hand flaunt art, and on the other hand, they are very keen to invite some Hollywood commercial productions to come and screen them.

In fact, after dinner, when Li Qian and Wang Jinglu ran over to buy tickets, they found that the tickets for "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" had actually been sold out.

Wang Jinglu complained, "It turns out that Germans also like to watch this kind of blockbuster!"

Li Qian smiled bitterly.

At dinner in the evening, he also complained that the domestic people did not support the film festival and that there was a lack of support for art films in China, and as a result, he was slapped in the face after an hour.

The German people love to watch blockbusters too!

There was no way, the movie couldn't be watched, and the two had to go home.

In Berlin in February, it's still quite cold outdoors at night.

On the way back, Wang Jinglu also suggested that he should visit Qin Wei and them, who led the team to participate in the film festival, but Li Qian thought about it and decided to forget it.

Anyway, they didn't know that they had arrived in Berlin, and anyway, their relationship with Qin Wei was not very close and familiar, not to mention that the most familiar one in the crew of "The Gate of Life and Death" was ordered by themselves to stay in school, so he didn't come.

So, the two of them walked back to the hotel.

As a result, at the revolving door of the hotel where the two were staying, the two walked up the steps, and a person walked out of the revolving door, and a pair of faces on both sides were stunned, and they all subconsciously stopped.

After a while, Li Qian smiled and asked, "Is this busy going out?"

Liu Chengzhang smiled, "It's okay! I'm bored, I want to go out on the street." ”

Li Qian nodded and asked, "Why don't you go and have a cup of coffee together?"

Liu Chengzhang thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." Have a cup of coffee and have a chat. ”

"Well, let's talk. Li Qian said.

…………

walked back to the cold street, found a café on the street casually, the two each ordered a cup of coffee, Wang Jinglu asked for a glass of juice, and the three of them casually found a booth and sat down.

As a result, Liu Chengzhang began to be in a daze from the moment he sat down.

Li Qian drank coffee slowly, and he was not in a hurry to urge him.

After a few minutes, he suddenly spoke, but said to Wang Jinglu: "He took you to Berlin for your honeymoon like this, in fact, because he wanted to watch a movie, and you can tolerate it?"

Yo! That's rare!

This is not like something that can come out of Liu Chengzhang's mouth!

You have replaced Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun, or Liu Chengzhang's boss Hu Fei, when this joke comes out, it is called a down-and-out generous, but Liu Chengzhang is not the kind of person who can joke and is willing to joke.

Wang Jinglu is not familiar with him, just now they officially met and met, I only know that he is a famous director in China, and I have also seen several of his movies, at this time I smiled when I heard the words: "Director Liu, you look down on people too much, I am a graduate of the Chinese Opera Performance Department! Although no one has asked me to make movies over the years, I am also from a professional class, right?"

Liu Chengzhang laughed, "Yes, yes, you also learn acting!"

This joke was made, and everyone didn't take it seriously, but the atmosphere still seemed a little more relaxed.

Liu Chengzhang then asked Li Qian, "How many days have you been here?"

Li Qian smiled, "I just arrived last night, and I slept for almost ten hours before resting, and at the beginning of today, I watched one, the Iranian film, "The Silent One". ”

Liu Chengzhang bowed his jaw and said: "Put that film in China, kill him!"

Li Qian smiled.

But soon, Liu Chengzhang actually said again: "But in fact, that film is still quite interesting." ”

Li Qian nodded, "Several cameras are set up very interestingly and carefully." ”

Liu Chengzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's worthy of learning photography! The camera in the window is particularly interesting, isn't it?"

Li Qian nodded, "That's a highlight." ”

Liu Chengzhang sighed and was silent for a long time before he suddenly spoke again, and said: "Your pressure is a bit big this year! I have seen the analysis done by Hu Fei's subordinates, and I have also noticed the schedule of the first half of the year in China.

Li Qian nodded.

Investment data or something, Minghu Culture also has someone to analyze, the market, this is the basic homework that every company has to do, but Li Qian's understanding of those Hollywood movies is not just a little bit of simple producers and directors, actors, investment amounts These data, he has another data in his mind that other people in this time and space cannot have.

After thinking about it, he said: "In my opinion, "The Lord of the Rings" and "Jurassic Park" should be the most fierce!" paused, and said: "Over the years, our country has still been trying back and forth on whether to marketize, how to marketize, and commercialize, but Hollywood has made great strides! From "Independence Day" to "Titanic", they have finally begun to believe in the way of big investment, big production and special effects. ”

Liu Chengzhang nodded, "Therefore, the investment in one is bigger than the other! However, the capitalization and industrialization of the film industry is the right way, and Hollywood has not gone crooked! On the contrary, it is this gang of people in Europe who flaunt literary and artistic films all day long, and they are crooked!"

Li Qian smiled and did not comment.

He wanted to ask Liu Chengzhang what he planned to shoot in the next film, but he felt that this topic was a bit difficult to talk about, after all, between him and Liu Chengzhang, there was a feeling that the friendship between a gentleman was as light as water, and it was not the same as a brother like Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun, or a pure business exchange like Hu Fei.

At this time, Liu Chengzhang took the initiative to speak.

He said: "In my next play, I still have to cooperate with your special effects department." ”

Li Qian nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Liu Chengzhang took a sip of coffee, looked up at Li Qian, and saw that Li Qian actually had just this one word, endured it, but couldn't hold back, or asked, "Do you want to vote a little?"

Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "You are Hu Fei's cash cow, so I won't join in the fun." ”

Liu Chengzhang smiled when he heard this, nodded, and lowered his head to drink coffee, his face was slightly gloomy.

But fortunately, he quickly adjusted and asked Wang Jinglu, "Where are you going to spend your honeymoon next?"

When Wang Jinglu heard this, she said excitedly: "Neither of us has ever been to the Soviet Union!"

Liu Chengzhang let out an "oh", then pointed at Li Qian with a smile, and said: "Remember to let him wear a mask after the past, his influence over there is greater than you think." The girls over there are very enthusiastic, you have to keep an eye on him!

Wang Jinglu was surprised, and Li Qian smiled.

In terms of influence, in fact, the first two albums of the four major beauty bands did have some influence on the Soviet side - this is a bit weird!

Chinese albums have always been competing for dominance in China and selling well in China, so they are pushed to Southeast Asia, generally not bad, exceptionally good, and will be introduced to Japan and South Korea, and some can be sold, but outside of this cultural circle, it is really not easy to sell.

But the Big Four Beauty Band was a bit of an exception, of course, mainly in the USSR.

As soon as the first album "Nothing" was introduced, it quickly set off a craze in the Soviet Union, and when "Once You" was introduced, it was even more hot to the point of being out of stock!

This is really a very puzzling thing - a Chinese rock album actually sells well in a place like the Soviet Union!

In particular, "Nothing" was actually regarded as a divine comedy by the Soviet rock music circle!

At this time, Li Qian asked with a smile: "So, have you been there more than once?"

Liu Chengzhang nodded, "I went there more in the past few years, because I think a lot of things in the Soviet Union are very interesting, anyway, they are also engaged in reform and opening up, and foreigners are welcome to go, so I often go there blindly." As for the last few years, it's purely for selling films. ”

Li Qian nodded knowingly.

Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal" seems to have been characterized as a "money-losing" film in the domestic media and audiences, in fact, its domestic box office should really lose money, but after being screened in China, this film has landed in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and was released in several European countries before New Year's Day, including the Soviet Union.

Although Chinese films are generally wholesale and buyout, in fact, there is not much money, like "My Sassy Girlfriend", which is extremely popular in China, and it is a youth love theme that is sure to be sought after in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, there is no way to divide the account, so it can only be sold out to local distribution companies.

As for "Sword Fairy", although it has such and such problems, one thing cannot be denied, in today's world's film circle, in addition to Hollywood, only China is currently the only one that can make special effects that are not inferior to Hollywood-not inferior to Hollywood-not to mention, the ethereal fairy spirit in "Sword Fairy" is also difficult for Hollywood movies to give, for Europeans, even if it is just to watch a fresh, someone will introduce it.

…………

When a cup of coffee was cold, the two of them talked about it, and they didn't even have a fixed topic, and soon the topic was over, so they went out of the coffee shop - Liu Chengzhang was going to go around the street, and Li Qian and Wang Jinglu walked back.

On the way, Wang Jinglu asked Li Qian, "Liu Chengzhang seems to be weird." ”

Li Qian nodded, "It's a little weird." I guess it's a little twisty in the new movie!"

Wang Jinglu nodded and obediently stopped asking.

But soon, she asked again: "Are you really popular in the Soviet Union?"

Li Qian laughed and stretched out his hand to hug her, """Nothing" has sold four or five million copies so far, and "Once You" has almost three and a half million copies, right? This is the data as of the end of December last year, so as long as your husband stands on the street and shouts, I am Li Qian, and there will be countless beauties pounced on me soon!"

Wang Jinglu beat him, "Stinky beauty!"
