From Beijing to Berlin, the distance is close to 7,400 kilometers, which is only a direct flight, but in fact, there is no direct flight from Beijing to Berlin, and they can only be reached through transit, so Zhou Bai's choice for this trip is to go to Frankfurt first, and then transfer to Berlin.

The whole trip is more than ten hours, plus there is a time difference of 6 hours, even if Zhou Bai has a good physique, he still feels tired, fortunately, the organizer has arranged the hotel, Zhou Bai and they are not interested in playing, and resting after eating has become the only choice.

When Zhou Bai and his entourage arrived in Berlin, it was already dim, and the food on the plane was not very delicious to be honest, just to fill his stomach, and after tossing for more than ten hours, Zhou Bai did not have a good appetite, so he hastily solved the problem of dinner and returned to his hotel room to rest.

In almost all film festivals, funding is always a problem, even Berlin is no exception, so the number of hotel places prepared by the organizers is limited, if you are not in the quota, pay out of your own pocket, and this year with European consumption, it is definitely a big burden.

Of course, after ten years, many people with the purpose of rubbing the red carpet, even if they pay out of their own pockets, it doesn't matter, at that time, the hotel price is no longer in their scope of consideration, how to cleverly rub themselves on the red carpet, and the focus is to overwhelm a group of actresses, and it is more important than anything else to be able to issue a press release in China.

As one of the well-known "Big Three", after many domestic films won awards, its influence has also penetrated into all corners of the domestic film circle, and the Oscar should be the first.

Of course, the influence of the Oscars is powerful, but many people don't understand that the Oscars focus on the United States, and it is not a film festival, but a recognition ceremony, and the main body of films and filmmakers recognized is based on the United States, which means that there is nothing to do with you, at most there is a Best Foreign Language Film Award related to other countries.

The three major film festivals are based on the world, and the shortlisted films, directors, and actors can come from all over the world, without geographical restrictions, and they are veritable international film festivals, and the inclusiveness of various countries and regions is not comparable to the Oscars, and the reason why the Oscars are good is because it is backed by Hollywood, and it is not friendly to many countries, especially Eastern countries.

went to bed early, Zhou Bai also got up early, Berlin in winter is still quite cold, Zhou Bai watched the weather program on TV and said that the outside temperature was only 2 degrees, but because he was not in the hotel, he didn't feel cold.

He had already developed a biological clock, and Zhou Bai got up before six o'clock, and there was nothing else to do at this time, so he simply practiced morning exercises in the room.

After practicing morning exercises, Zhou Bai took a shower, got dressed and prepared to go out for breakfast.

This hotel is prepared by the organizers, so I can meet some people from time to time, and when Zhou Bai arrived at the hotel lobby after breakfast, a voice behind him stopped him.

"Lei Hao, are you Mr. Zhou Bai?" a man's voice sounded from behind him.

Zhou Bai looked back, a man with glasses, thick eyebrows and big eyes and a suit was standing behind him, some information flashed in Zhou Bai's mind for a moment, remembering him, his movie Zhou Bai watched it many times, but he didn't expect to meet this famous director here.

"I'm Zhou Bai, hello Director Guan Jingpeng. "Zhou Bai used Cantonese, because Guan Jingpeng is from Xiangjiang, Cantonese is his mother tongue, and English is also very strong, but Chinese is not fluent Out of politeness, he speaks directly in Cantonese.

"Hello, you came to Berlin with Director Zhang, I have seen "My Father and Mother" in China, and your performance is very exciting. Guan Jingpeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

Zhou Bai hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Guan Jingpeng and say hello: "Hello Director Guan, I have admired the name for a long time, I like your "Rouge Buckle" and "Ruan Lingyu" very much, I didn't expect you to live in this hotel." ”

Guan Jingpeng's works are very famous, but not many people are really familiar with his specific appearance, but Zhou Bai likes the director's works very much, and he is not very unfamiliar with his appearance.

Guan Jingpeng shook hands with Zhou Bai with a smile and said: "I didn't expect your Cantonese to be so good, listening to your lines in "My Father and Mother", they all have some dialect accents, I didn't expect you to understand Cantonese, it's really surprising." ”

"I'm from Cantonese and Guangzhou, but Cantonese is not my mother tongue, at the beginning I learned Cantonese by watching various Xiangjiang movies and videotapes, plus my father has some friends who speak Cantonese, so I learned it, and the tapes I used to watch included your "Rouge Buckle" and "Ruan Lingyu". Zhou Bai explained with a smile.

"I see, it's good that you can speak Cantonese, at least I don't have to talk about half-cooked clay melon. Guan Jingpeng nodded and said funny.

Claypot winter melon is a stalk, similar to the Mandarin pronunciation in Cantonese, many Xiangjiang or Cantonese people often feel that they are talking about clotted winter melon when they say the word Mandarin, and when Guan Jingpeng says this word, it also makes Zhou Bai feel very interesting.

"Haha, by the way, Guam, you came to the film festival with "Sometimes Dancing" this time, I wish you the grand prize this time. Zhou Bai laughed, he had read the news and knew that Guan Jingpeng was also shortlisted this time.

The reason why Guan Jingpeng appeared in this hotel is indeed because his film "Sometimes Dancing" was also selected as a competition film to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival, and as long as it is a participating film, it is possible to win an award, and the specific list will be announced after the end of each event, if "Sometimes Dancing" can enter the main competition unit, then the possibility of winning the award is even higher.

"Forget it, it's too difficult to win the award, the focus is on participation, if I can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, I will be satisfied, I came here mainly to sell films. However, I have watched your performance of "My Father and Mother" in China, and the possibility of winning the award is very high, but it's a pity that your role is too short, otherwise I think your performance can compete for the best actor, and it is okay in "National Anthem", but Berlin will not accept the main theme film in China. Guan Jingpeng waved his hand and said, what he said made Zhou Bai feel very surprised.

Although "Sometimes Dancing" has a lot of political metaphors, in fact, Guan Jingpeng knows very well that "Sometimes Dancing" is difficult to win awards, but whether to win the award or not is another matter, and the main reason for coming to Berlin is to sell the film.

Now it is not only the domestic film market that is sluggish, in fact, Xiangjiang, which is known as the treasure land of Oriental Hollywood, is also shrinking rapidly, and the market is sluggish, and it can even be said that it has given people a feeling of sunset.

"Sometimes Dancing" is a literary film, and the main investor is Dongying's side, but Guan Jingpeng still hopes to sell better, after all, the movie was made by him.

"Director Guan is so exalted to me, it's impossible to compete for the best actor, but Director Guan, you've actually seen the two movies I acted in, it's really an honor. Zhou Bai smiled and said, feeling very incredible in his heart, Guan Jingpeng had actually watched both movies, and even made Zhou Bai feel flattered.

For a moment, Zhou Bai had a feeling in his heart that I was the son of the plane, and he felt a little incredible.

Thank you for the 100 coins reward!
