Chapter 178: The limelight

At the Berlin Film Palace, the subtitles began to slowly rise on the screen as the plot ended, and the audience who watched the film did not leave, but stood up and applauded vigorously to pay tribute to this wonderful film.

There was a wave of applause, and everyone gave a standing ovation, and these people were not ordinary spectators, but invited media, and they had just seen a movie called "My Father and Mother".

One minute, the applause is still the same, five minutes, the applause did not stop, after more than ten minutes, it gradually slowed down, if not in it, it is difficult to imagine that this is the cheers and applause caused by the release of a Chinese film, and their love for "My Father and Mother" is undoubtedly revealed, this is the most exciting scene since the opening of the Berlin Film Festival.

It's February 15, 2000, at 3:30 p.m. at the Berlin Film Festival, the premiere of "My Father and Mother" at the Berlin Film Festival.

Nearly 1,000 journalists have gathered here, almost all of the mainstream media have attended, and the crowd shows how influential Zhang Yimou is in Berlin.

After the movie was played, the creators of "My Father and Mother" appeared on the stage, led by Zhang Yimou, and Zhou Bai and they followed him out of the warm cheers and applause of the reporters.

This is the press conference held by the film festival for "My Father and Mother", when the main creator appeared, the chairman of the film festival, De Harder, personally welcomed the main creator of "My Father and Mother", of course, the reason why the chairman of the film festival can be alarmed is completely because Zhang Yimou's name is too prosperous, and what kind of treatment should be given.

In addition to director Zhang Yimou, there are also producer Zhang Weiping, photographer Hou Yong, starring Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Bai, if according to the impact on the movie, Zhang Yimou is the absolute soul, Zhang Weiping as a provider of funds There is definitely no way to miss it, Hou Yong is a famous photographer, and Zhang Ziyi is the absolute heroine, only Zhou Bai is in a position that is not embarrassing.

But when Zhou Bai appeared in front of the media, the shots aimed at him were the most, and the applause given to him was like a storm, and then the camera took all kinds of wild shots at him, that posture made Zhou Bai startled, and the enthusiasm of the media was too crazy.

Because of the big repercussions caused by the fashion circle, not only the audience who read newspapers and publications was full of curiosity about Zhou Bai, but even the reporter remembered Zhou Bai's name.

Students, actors, investors, producers, and the name of a fashion pioneer, which makes Zhou Bai seem to be shrouded in a powerful aura, even the domestic media are shocked by Zhou Bai's achievements, and in the eyes of Western reporters, Zhou Bai has become a star.

The premiere of "My Father and Mother" entertained reporters from various media, and the official release will only meet the audience, but Zhang Yimou is not worried about the official release, the tickets have long been sold out, and now the movie tickets for "My Father and Mother" are almost in short supply.

Some of the reporters still had tears on their faces and red eyes, they really liked the movie, the emotions in it resonated with them, and as the film began and ended, it was as if they were experiencing a dreamlike journey.

"In the past, only one or two American movies would have such a sensation, and it was because of the presence of big-name American movie stars. I didn't expect so many reporters to come today, and so many people love Chinese movies and love your films. Such a situation is so rare. De Hader said with emotion, he was very happy with such a popular scene, and he was also very emotional, this time he had been scolded for compromising with Hollywood, and here he was deeply touched.

Zhang Yimou smiled, the smile on his face never stopped, the pursuit of the media made his heart full of a sense of achievement, and he was very satisfied with everything now.

The main creator has become the focus of the media's attention, and Zhou Bai has been focused on by the media, and the questions are one after another, which is simply something that cannot be asked.

Zhou Bai didn't know how to describe his feelings, because of the attention he attracted in the fashion circle, and the reporter's expectations for him were successfully reflected in the movie, their enthusiasm was ignited, and they couldn't wait to ask all the questions.

Zhang Ziyi attended this press conference, specially prepared a Chinese-style red short jacket, with black trousers, revealing the joy of the New Year, and more and more showing her beautiful and refined traditional Chinese temperament, this image was actually discussed by her agent to the designer, but the focus of media attention actually became the discussion of Zhou Bai, which also made her a little helpless.

Zhang Ziyi didn't have any jealousy or anything like Zhou Bai, but she was faintly lost in her heart, Zhang Yimou's limelight must have been snatched by no one, but Zhang Ziyi's limelight was directly robbed by Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai was also very helpless, watching the questions asked by these reporters made him feel painful, in addition to asking about the filming of the movie and what was chosen, another focus of discussion was actually the gray suit that Zhou Bai was wearing today.

But fortunately, the domestic media are their own people after all, like Jin Ying, who saw Zhou Bai's embarrassment at this time, so she immediately saw the stitches and asked about the interesting things in Zhang Ziyi's filming, diverting everyone's attention and consuming time.

"May I ask Miss Zhang Ziyi, I heard that when the movie "My Father and Mother" was filmed, you didn't memorize the script, right?" Jin Ying raised her hand and asked in Chinese.

"First of all, it's true that I don't memorize the script, but I want to explain, it's not that I don't memorize the script, it's that the director doesn't show it. Maybe it's to get a more natural performance, but if you watch it beforehand, you will think about how to figure out how to perform similar plots in the past, but it's even worse. Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

"Ziyi is right, the matter of finding her to make a film was hyped by the coal body, saying that the first time she filmed with Zhang Yimou, this will cause great pressure on the actors, if you think too much and want to act well, you must not act well, and the psychological pressure is too great, so I adopted the method of 'herding sheep', let her play, and then give the plot when she wants to film, otherwise the plot will be given the day before, and if the plot is discussed, the actor must want to shoot overnight, how to film with a frown the next day, right?" Zhang Yimou added next to him.

But Ziyi didn't just play and shoot this scene, she went to the countryside to understand the local conditions before filming, lived with the residents, and spent more than a month to experience life, the process was not simple, she is a good actor. ”

"Is Zhou Bai the same?" asked another reporter.

"Zhou Bai is not, he is a very stable actor, I never worry about his state, but during the filming, he developed more of his acting methods and mobilized him to dig out his inner emotions, I have to say that from the beginning to the end of filming, he gave me a huge surprise, he is a genius actor. Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, and then commented.

This evaluation frightened all the reporters, Zhang Yimou praised Zhou Bai when "My Father and Mother" was released in China before, but this evaluation of a genius actor is the first time that it comes from his mouth, and Lao Mouzi praises an actor for the first time with such a high evaluation.

Definitely, I wanted to transfer the firepower, but even Lao Mouzi couldn't help but make a big move, and Zhou Bai could only modestly say that he still had a lot to improve.

The press conference ended with warm applause, and at the official release at half past seven in the evening, Zhou Bai simply found an excuse to be unwell and asked Lao Mouzi for leave, and if this continued, he would steal the limelight from others, and he himself felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, the official release of the night was also very enthusiastic, and nearly 2,000 viewers on the scene were fully engaged and fully integrated into an oriental-style sincere and innocent love story, and when the main creator met, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Weiping were warmly welcomed.

After the release of "My Father and Mother", he received the highest score in the media among all the films, and Zhou Bai also made everyone remember him with the film when he met the audience in Berlin.
