Chapter 173: Red Carpet Topic
The weather in Berlin was a bit naughty, and on the day of the opening of the festival, there was a light rain, which did not affect the admission of the guests, but it also made people feel that the weather was colder, although the rain only fell for a while, but the gloomy weather made people feel very uncomfortable.
The red carpet is the highlight of the festival, especially the Berlin Film Festival, the red carpet is set up to attract the media, so that the stars who come to participate can enjoy the high-profile entrance, and at the opening of the film festival, the guests attending the coffee booth are larger than the closing ceremony.
Although the current Berlin Film Festival has a great welcome to Chinese filmmakers, we have to admit that the main stars are still mainly American or Western, and the cheers they set off on the red carpet are like waves, one after another.
The order of the red carpet of the crew of "My Father and Mother" was arranged behind the crew of "Magnolia", so Zhou Bai witnessed the demeanor of Julianne Moore, William H Macy, Tom Cruise and others, especially Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise's charm is still unstoppable in Berlin, countless girls are shouting his name with signs in the audience area, the flash of the camera is ringing, and the fiery atmosphere is about to ignite the whole venue.
Tom Cruise smiled, the audience here is very enthusiastic, he is very satisfied, in fact, attending the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is an invitation from the organizer on the one hand, on the other hand, it is not a good thing for him to increase exposure, so he did not refuse, if he can get the actor here, it would be better, but he is not the first actor in "Magnolia", which is very troublesome, and the possibility of winning the actor has decreased a lot.
Don't look at him as a world superstar, in fact, Tom Tom has a lot of shortcomings in honor, the Oscar doesn't want to see him, so far he has not won a hard honor in acting at the Oscar, the Oscar judges don't like this kind of overly handsome and overly commercial actors, Xiao Li Zi is like this, Tom Cruise is also like this, I don't see how many years Xiao Li Zi has survived in the end, he can only win an actor through misery.
Of course, the Berlin official did not promise him that he would be allowed to win the award, and it was impossible for any kind of smart approach to have this option, and Tom himself knew that according to his own share, the possibility of winning the actor was very low, but at least it was a good fate, so he came to cheer.
Zhou Bai and his party were waiting in the back, and the official staff of the Berlin Film Festival were leading them, but at this time, Tom Cruise and his party had not finished walking the red carpet, and now they could only wait first.
The red carpet of the film festival is arranged in order, and it is impossible to let the participants walk around, otherwise everything will be messy, and there is still a little bit of force, these are all arranged in advance.
"Tom is also so popular in Germany, worthy of being a world superstar, and you can hear the shouts of the audience from so far away, which is too powerful. Zhou Bai, who was waiting to enter the venue, said with a sigh.
"He does have a terrifying influence, the superstar of the 20 million club, a handsome face can attract countless audiences as long as he appears on the screen, and Hollywood also has a lot of influence in Berlin. Lao Mouzi said with a smile.
"Brother Bai, maybe one day you can become a superstar like him, and when you appear, the cheers will be higher than him, overshadowing him. Zhang Ziyi said with a grin.
"I, I can't compare with him, one salary is enough for us to make more than ten movies, and if we change the salary, it is enough for hundreds of movies, and it is still possible to put it in China, and it is difficult for foreign countries to compare with him, after all, his movies have been released all over the world, and it is too difficult for an Oriental face to be so popular in the West, and Western audiences can't tell East Asians apart. Zhou Bai laughed, maybe ten years later, he might be able to have such influence in China, but it is impossible in the West.
Zhou Bai is not wrong about this, Western audiences do have this kind of problem, Asian faces are no different in the eyes of many people, Ge You was once recognized as wrong, the audience was very excited at that time, but when he asked for an autograph, he knew that people thought he was Cheng Long. Lao Mouzi said in agreement.
"Poof, isn't it, Uncle Ge's face is recognized by them as Cheng Long? This is not face blindness, this is blindness!" Zhou Bai fortunately did not drink water at this time, otherwise he would have been choked, and his unrelated appearance could be mistaken, and this degree of face blindness was no longer saved.
It is very embarrassing to be mistaken, Huang Bo was admitted at the airport, and an audience member was very excited when he saw him, holding his hand and chatting enthusiastically, chatting like this for half an hour, and finally asked for an autograph when he said that he liked his performance of "No Thieves in the World", so Huang Bo gave this audience a big stroke of his pen and signed Wang Baoqiang.
"Director, I think you have a lot of influence here, from yesterday to today, there is an endless stream of people visiting you, and you are very valued here, and I believe that someone will call your name when you walk the red carpet. Zhou Bai suddenly remembered the situation after Lao Mouzi arrived in Berlin, and then said.
It can be seen that the Berlin Film Festival attaches great importance to Lao Mouzi, not to mention that everything is properly arranged, and the official staff visits him one after another, so you can imagine what kind of standard this kind of courtesy has reached.
"I have a good relationship with Berlin, I won an award here many years ago, and they are familiar with me, so they must have to do some communication and communication here, but the audience knows very little about me, right?" said Lao Mouzi with a smile.
Zhou Bai chatted with Lao Mouzi in Mandarin, and the staff who arranged it could actually understand, but he didn't interject, and after Lao Mouzi said this, he actually spoke.
"You are wrong about director Zhang Yimou, many of our viewers really know you, they like your movies very much, and I heard that there are still your fans gathered to support you today. "This guy doesn't speak Mandarin very well, but he understands everything here.
"I'll just say, directing your films has influenced a large number of filmmakers, and there will definitely be many people in the audience who like your works, and it's normal to support you. Zhou Bai said.
Lao Mouzi was taken aback, he didn't expect this treatment, the audience likes actors, the vast majority of people like stars, and a small number of fans will become fans of the director, I heard that there are fans gathered together today to support him, which also makes him very happy, after all, this is Germany, not China.
Although Tom Tom received a huge welcome on the audience's side, and even their red carpet was overtime, the organizers wished that such a situation would occur, after all, this was also a good thing for the Berlin Film Festival to expand its influence, so they were not urged to walk the red carpet as soon as possible.
After a long time, the crew of "My Father and Mother" got the notice to enter the venue, and began to walk into the red carpet area in the car.
