The premiere arrangement of "Painless Love" is not grand, the chairman of the film festival, Koslick, also came to participate, various guests appeared one after another, and the hall where the premiere was arranged was also a hall of thousands of people, which was definitely full of sincerity.

Er Dongsheng's reputation in Europe is also okay, and he has some connections, at least much better than some domestic directors, although it is not as good as Zhang Yimou's master-level treatment, but at least it is much better than Li Yang, after all, he has not been a fool in vain for more than ten years.

Koslick decided to go to great lengths to convince Zhou Bai to put the premiere of "Painless Love" in Berlin, and the applause he received now for the film speaks volumes about how right he was at the time, and both journalists and ordinary viewers loved the film, as evidenced by the flashing lights and cheers.

The audience in Berlin has an almost sincere love for films, and they will definitely not skimp on their applause when they encounter a good movie, and when they encounter a bad movie, the applause is not nothing, but it is definitely not long, short and sparse.

In fact, there is still a media field in the afternoon, but it is a small hall, and many foreign reporters can't wait to participate in the premiere this time, so in the main creator's thank you session, there are really a lot of reporters squeezed in the front row, which scared Zhou Bai, fortunately, there will be a press conference later, otherwise it will be really embarrassing.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Bai knew that his preparation was actually insufficient, he had participated in the premiere of "Hero" and also participated in the press conference, and now when the movie he led was released, he found that some things were still not fully prepared.

Koslick was very face-saving, and he instructed the staff to help Zhou Bai change a much larger hall with great speed, and the original small hall with forty seats could not fit in front of a press corps of hundreds of people.

Yuan Lei found a good position early, she instructed Li Hongyu to take pictures, and she herself found a good position as soon as possible.

There is more than one smart person, and many foreign reporters are also chicken thieves, they have too many questions to ask after watching the movie, but they didn't follow those people to the front and rush to ask, but like Yuan Lei, they quickly found the hall of the press conference, occupied a position, and saw Yuan Lei, who arrived early, and looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The 100-person hall rearranged for the premiere press conference was quickly occupied, and all kinds of people and photographic equipment crowded the hall to the point that there was no place for a dozen or so reporters to sit.

The staff was also frightened by the heat, so they had to help these standing reporters temporarily add chairs, and they couldn't let them stand for the entire press conference, which was not very decent.

Yuan Lei sat next to Li Hongyu, in addition to Li Hongyu, there were only a few Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters, Yuan Lei carefully looked at the entire hall of the press conference, and there was really only one reporter from the mainland online media present besides her, and there were only two mainland reporters left in the original huge mainland press corps, which made her feel a complicated feeling that she couldn't explain clearly.

However, there was not much time for her to sigh, and soon the main creative team of the movie entered in turn, so that Yuan Lei quickly put away her emotional thoughts.

Er Dongsheng, Zhou Bai, Gong Li, Fan Bingbing, Feng Shaofeng, and Miao Qian entered in turn, and sat down next to the chairman of the film festival, Koslick.

Er Dongsheng, Zhou Bai and Gong Li were all very calm, keeping a smile on their faces, they were really happy, but they were not as nervous and excited as Fan Bingbing and Feng Shaofeng, and they were uncoordinated.

Zhou Bai has experienced the press conference of movies of the level of "My Father and Mother" and "Hero", and he has not felt much about it for a long time, and Er Dongsheng and Gong Li, who have seen scenes bigger than this, don't know how many times, how can they be particularly excited.

"May I ask Mr. President, what do you think of the movie "Painless Love"?" Sure enough, he is a good talker, the first reporter to be called is Germany's own media, and the first person to be asked must also be the chairman of the film festival, which is the default rule.

"I think the Berlinale is well known for its love for Chinese films, and we have been encouraging and supporting the development of films in the Third World for decades, and if I don't like Chinese films, I don't think you will believe it, right?" Koslick said eloquently, with a little humor in his words, which made the reporters below burst into laughter.

"More than 20 years have passed, and we are honored to see that Chinese films are becoming more and more prosperous and progressive, and there are many creative newcomers emerging during this period, but I think that from "Red Sorghum" to "My Father and Mother", in fact, these films belong to the same era, and Chinese films are also facing the situation of having to innovate, and "Painless Love" is a different way, which is surprising.

Stylistically speaking, it may not have too much political connotation, but the film technique and film language of "Painless Love" have reached another realm, and the most surprising thing for me is the story it tells, this kind of film full of life and emotions is really rare and valuable, and I love Zhou Bai and Gong Li's performances beyond measure, they are simply a match made in heaven. ”

The reporters were frightened, Koslick's love for "Painless Love" was sincere, he didn't use official language to perfunctory reporters, and his evaluation of this movie can be said to be very high, and Zhou Bai and Gong Li's performances were even more bright.

"Are you saying you think the film deserves an award?" the reporter then asked.

"What I'm talking about is my perception as a filmmaker, and as for the award, I think the festival judges will naturally have their own choice, and I think you should still focus on the main creator of the film, which is a rare opportunity. Koslick's expression didn't change in the slightest, and he said with a smile.

As the president of the film festival, can Koslick influence the awards? In fact, everyone knows this question, as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to influence, but whether "Painless Love" is worth his hand is another matter.

In fact, Koslick himself was also worried in his heart, in order to attract Hollywood stars to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, he made some vague promises, I hope the judges do not insist too much when judging the awards, otherwise there is a real possibility of capsizing, thinking about his originally happy mood quickly changed.

"As we all know, Chinese films have always won with realistic themes, and urban romance movies that focus on emotions are rare, what kind of considerations did you make such a movie?"
