Chapter 176: It's in the newspaper

At the opening of the film festival, Gong Li, as the chairman of the jury, made an official appearance, wearing a cheongsam to set off her bumpy figure very sexy, earning enough media cameras, Gong Li's name was heard almost everywhere in Berlin, and when she appeared under the introduction of Moritz Deha, the chairman of the film festival, the guests in the audience stood up and applauded.

On the 7th, Gong Li arrived in Berlin, and the chairman of the film festival personally received the plane, and he told the media: "When celebrating the new millennium and the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Film Festival, there is nothing more worthy of joy than inviting Gong Li to take such a position." With her personal blend of talent, wisdom and beauty, she is definitely the best ambassador for future Chinese cinema. It can be seen that the organizers have a high opinion of her.

On the streets of Berlin, Zhou Bai saw Gong Li's half-length large-scale advertisements for big French brands, and the front page and second pages of the "Berlin Daily" are all related to Gong Li's behavior.

At the opening ceremony, Gong Li also made a speech, but the content was very in line with the occasion of the opening ceremony, and what she said was about the film festival.

The opening ceremony was held in a grand manner, and the host introduced all the parties participating in the film festival one by one, and when Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" was introduced, the applause was warm, as if the roof was going to be torn down.

"Million Dollar Hotel", as the opening film, met with the audience on this day, and Zhou Bai also watched the movie together.

The style of this movie is difficult for Zhou Bai to like, although Mel Gibson's performance can't be said to be miserable, but it really doesn't dare to compliment, it stands to reason that his acting skills won't be like this, maybe that's what the director wants, but unfortunately Zhou Bai just can't like it.

This movie is the opening film, Zhou Bai feels that the organizer is simply forcibly disgusting the audience, and if you look for some other movies that are better than this movie, maybe the reason why it became the opening film is because of the German-American co-production.

The heroine Milla Jonovic is very happy, because she has earned enough media shots, and even Sophie Marceau, who attended the festival, can't compare to her.

After the opening ceremony, the next time will be the release time of each film, and "My Father and Mother" will not officially meet the judges and German audiences at the main venue of the festival until the 16th.

After the Berlinale Concertma, a total of three Asian films will be screened over the two days: "The Youth Choir" by Japanese director Ogata, "Sometimes Dancing" by Xiangjiang director Guan Jingpeng, and "The King of Funny" by Filipino director Chiangolo, and Zhou Bai is going to attend the premiere of "Sometimes Dancing".

"Youth Choir" is the first movie to be released, Zhou Bai also went to see it, the quality of this movie is very good, the film is shrouded in tension on the verge of losing control from beginning to end, and the director's rhythm control is also excellent, and what he says is not same-sex or anything, but some cruel truths about adolescence.

In fact, after the opening of the film festival, many movies will be released one by one, and there is also a tribute link, which is not worried about not having a movie to watch, and various activities are endless, but in these activities, Zhou Bai is not a guest, sometimes just an ordinary audience.

Zhou Bai is also happy to be idle, not much entertainment is just in line with his mind, he is not the kind of person who likes social occasions very much, compared to communication with hypocrisy and coping, he prefers to silently experience the culture and atmosphere of the movie.

After the opening ceremony, the media around the world will report on the Berlin Film Festival, but Zhou Bai did not pay much attention to it, except for some film criticism publications or film reviews in professional film newspapers and magazines, he will pay attention to some film reviews, and he will either be an audience member or a tourist at other times.

Zhou Bai still has some good impressions of the city of Berlin in his heart, the people here are not very enthusiastic, but they are all polite, the scenery here is very beautiful, and the style of the building left a deep impression on Zhou Bai.

said that he was participating in the film festival, more like a reason, no one may believe it, but the real situation is like this, for Zhou Bai, one is the red carpet at the opening ceremony, the other is the premiere of "My Father and Mother", and the other is the closing ceremony, and the premiere of Aguan's "Sometimes Dancing" is the only entertainment he wants to attend.

In the many news reports on the opening ceremony, the discussions were basically about Gong Li, Brother Tom, Sophie Marceau and others, Zhou Bai didn't pay attention to the evaluation of the media, anyway, no one else knew him here, and he couldn't read many German newspapers.

"Brother Bai, you're in the newspaper!" The day after the opening ceremony, Zhang Ziyi rushed to Zhou Bai's room with a newspaper and said excitedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the media here don't know who I am, why are they reporting me?" Zhou Bai glanced at Zhang Ziyi and said calmly, this prank of Zhang Ziyi on time.

Participating in the film festival is not busy, and it is not easy to say that it is easy, it depends on who you are, I think Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi are definitely not busy, because they are not well-known enough in this part of Berlin, except for some domestic media who will interview them, foreign media will not treat them as onions.

Like Zhang Yimou is very busy, a big director like him, everywhere he goes, he is the focus of the media, and there is an endless stream of invitations to various activities, premieres, cultural salons, film seminars, cocktail parties, etc., so this is not an easy task for him.

"I didn't lie to you, look!" Zhang Ziyi pursed her lips and said unhappily, then handed the newspaper to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai took it and looked for it, and after looking for a while, he saw a photo of him in a palm-sized section, on which he was smiling, and he looked at the name of the newspaper, which was in German, and he didn't know it, God knows what he was talking about.

The Berlin Fashion Zeitung is actually a tabloid, which introduces Zhou Bai's dress in a section larger than a tofu block, and calls him a mysterious oriental star.

"I guess their reporters don't even bother to check my information, in fact, they don't have any interest in me, you see the name of their newspaper is called Fashion News, to put it bluntly, it's just to introduce some clothing matching, I may be because I look good, they use it as a model. Zhou Bai said with a smile.

"It's better than me, you can be in the newspaper, you see that I don't actually have any reports mentioning me except for the domestic media will report it, of course, these are to exclude the reports that mention the director, because of the director, we were also taken to the newspaper. Zhang Ziyi sighed and said.

"Don't worry, when "My Father and Mother" is released, there will definitely be a newspaper interview with you, and soon "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released, and you will definitely become an international star by then. Zhou Bai patted Zhang Ziyi's shoulder and said.

Zhang Ziyi has always been more ambitious, her idea of becoming a big star has not been hidden at all, and she has been working hard, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has made her really soar and go international.

"Borrow your auspicious words, anyway, congratulations on your newspaper appearance, at least you are on the newspaper alone, hehe. Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

"There's nothing to congratulate, it's just a tabloid, it doesn't matter. Zhou Bai said disapprehantly.

What Zhou Bai didn't expect was that he didn't cause any repercussions in the film industry, but took the lead in causing a lot of sensation in the fashion circle, which may be an unexpected joy.
