Chapter 347: The Gap

After chatting with the reporter for a while, Zhou Bai exchanged contact information with him and left, Xinlang's reporters did not stalk him, there were many opportunities during the film festival, if he pestered Zhou Bai for an interview, it would be difficult to interview in the future.

He really didn't think wrong, when Zhou Bai came out to hang out at night, he met him again, the two chatted for a while, it was cold in a foreign country, people always had an urge to huddle together to keep warm, and when they saw familiar faces, they would naturally be much kinder, so Zhou Bai invited him to have a meal by the way, and he didn't go anywhere else, just at the Hyatt Hotel.

I learned from the reporter's mouth that the premiere of the opening film "Chicago" at the press conference was not bad, and the reporters who have always been stingy gave it less than half a minute of applause, and Zhou Bai was a little surprised when he didn't hear it, how stingy you are, I remember when I came to Berlin a few years ago, I played "My Father and Mother" but the applause lasted for nearly ten minutes.

Zhou Bai and his entourage are all living in the Hyatt Hotel, he really feels the gap between the actors this time, they are all actors, Hollywood stars are so popular everywhere, fans are blocked at the side door of the Hyatt Hotel, and they don't even have to bother to see who they are waiting for, and after a while, people will chant "Nicolas Cage!" or something, and he, occasionally encountering a few fans who recognize him is also very restrained and asks for autographs, and they disperse after taking a group photo, the gap is really not ordinarily obvious.

After the opening ceremony, Zhou Bai didn't have time to be idle, because this time he had a lot of activities to participate in, many movies were going to be released here, and people's invitations had already been sent, all of them were entrusted to come, everyone was mixed in Chinese movies, and it must be inevitable to cheer each other.

The premiere of "Hero" in Berlin on the 7th, as well as the "Xiangjiang Night", and then the release of major films, during which they will participate in the "International Forum", "Youth Film Forum", "New Film Forum", "Film Panorama Unit", "International Competition Unit", as well as the commemorative activities of Yasujiro Ozu in the tribute link, and the review of the film of the German silent film director, etc., it can be said that the activities are full.

"Hong Kong Night" is an event organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council to take advantage of the opportunity of a number of locally produced films to participate in the exhibition, inviting Hong Kong and overseas artists and related industry players to participate in the promotion of Hong Kong films.

In order to promote the slump of Hong Kong films, the Hong Kong Trade Development Bureau is also worried, and in order to promote Hong Kong films, it can be said that a lot of efforts have been made to expand the influence of Hong Kong films, and this event is specially held.

Last year, the second "Xiangjiang Night" was held in Cannes, which barely set off a heat wave, at least the film sold well, and the impact was good, this time it was the third time, moved to Berlin, as for the effect, that is another matter, anyway, I didn't catch up with the previous one, but now I have caught up, this is a social occasion, and I can always meet a group of people in the past.

This year, many Hong Kong films participated in the Berlin Film Festival, such as "Infernal Affairs" starring Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, "Unparalleled in the World" starring the princess, and Du Qifeng's "PTU", etc., all of which were arranged to be screened in the "New Film Forum" section of the Berlin Film Festival.

There are also five martial arts movies "Jiangshan Beauty", "The Drunken Man", "Xiangjiang Flower Moon Night", "Love Slave" and "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" are played in the review link.

In addition, "The Return of the Three Watches" produced by Hong Kong and "The Dragon's Depths", a documentary about Cheng Long directed by Zhang Wanting, will also be screened in the Panorama section.

With so many movies, it is natural to hold a "Xiangjiang Night", at least the people who come are practitioners, either star artists or directors, producers and other related insiders, it is also a good thing for everyone to talk freely in the same environment, so after receiving the invitation, Zhou Bai did not intend to refuse.

In addition to some literary and artistic cafes that can be invited from Europe and the United States, as well as producers who are relatively close, etc., mainland film industry personnel will also be invited to attend, this time Lao Mouzi, Zhou Bai, Zhang Ziyi and others who came to participate in the film festival were invited, and Zhou Bai's female companion at that time was Fan Xiaopang, and he went to everything, and it was not a matter to bring someone.

Fan Xiaopang was very excited, after all, she was not on the list of invitees, Zhou Bai brought her over, which was equivalent to giving her a chance to meet the big artists in the Hong Kong circle, which was a good opportunity to establish a network, for which she was very grateful.

For Zhou Bai, it used to be a very simple thing to participate in activities with a female companion, according to his current status, the organizer will not raise any objections, and the more people cheer for this kind of event, the better, and Fan Xiaopang is also a star, so they will not be stupid enough to refuse.

At the premiere of "Hero" on the 7th, Zhou Bai was wearing a set of casual clothes, standing with Zhang Manyu, the flashing lights of media reporters continued, aimed at the two of them, the premiere of "Hero", the two people who attracted the most attention were these two people, for domestic reporters, these two people were also spread by the wind Some lace news, now they are talking and laughing there, take the opportunity to take a few more photos, go back and wave a big pen, and get an ambiguous title, which is a proper click-through rate.

"Maggie, you are really well-connected, half of the Xiangjiang film industry has been invited, I can't count these people who walked in. Before the movie started, Zhou Bai teased Zhang Manyu.

The hall of more than 1,000 people was all full, and the outside was still overcrowded, and the staff had to temporarily open Hall 8 to solve the rest of the people.

There are also a lot of big coffees here, almost all of the big names in Xiangjiang are invited by Zhang Manyu, and Lao Mouzi is talking to the chairman of the film festival next to him, Zhang Ziyi also invited some people, looking horizontally and vertically, Zhou Bai found that he didn't seem to have any connections.

Well, if you include Er Dongsheng, Li Yang, and Fan Bingbing, there must be some, but not to mention compared with Lao Mouzi, even compared with Zhang Manyu's side, there is a big gap, and Zhou Bai himself can't bear to compare.

His connections are basically in China, and he really doesn't know many people on the Xiangjiang side, so he is the director who has worked with Ah Guan and Xiaobao, although Cheng Xiaodong is also counted, but he seems to have known Lao Mouzi for a longer time.

"Not all of them were invited by me, the director and Ziyi also have friends, and if you are in the mainland, you can invite more people than me, I don't know how much, I have been in the Xiangjiang film industry for so many years, if I don't know a few people, wouldn't it be a fool?" Zhang Manyu said with a smile, her mouth curled.

What you said is so reasonable, I can't refute it, looking at Zhang Manyu with an arrogant face, Zhou Bai had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.
