Chapter 112: Opening Ceremony
On February 11th, the Berlinale opened.
For the opening ceremony of the international film festival level, of course, Lin Yang can't miss it, the main reason is that it is very boring to stay in the hotel, this day Lin Yang and Jia Zhangke and his party wore borrowed suits and came to the Movie Palace in the center of Potsdamer Platz early, Lin Yang and others thought that they and others had come early enough, but they didn't expect the reporter to come earlier than them.
There are many reporters of various colors at the door, and there are dozens of yellow-skinned ones, but whether there are domestic reporters among these dozens needs to be studied and studied, and it is impossible to see just by looking at them.
Lin Yang and the others traveled all the way, and naturally none of the reporters came forward to take pictures or ask questions, and it was very simple who knew who you were! At this time, it is clear whether you are famous or not, such as "Grand Central Station" Fairland Montenago Lady, "Dangerous Liaisons" Samuel L. Jackson has been traveling all the way, and the film is like not asking for money. made Lin Yang and the others look envious, but they didn't say anything sour, just walked forward quickly.
When they were about to enter the arena, Lin Yang's clothes were pulled by Jia Zhangke and pointed in one direction: "That is Mr. Leslie Cheung." ”
Lin Yang nodded and looked back, and saw that it was indeed like what he saw on the Internet, wearing a black coat and facing the reporters around him, and answering in an orderly and orderly manner, and then Lin Yang sighed, and entered the movie palace with Jia Zhangke and others.
After entering the movie palace, Lin Yang was stunned by the movie stars walking the red carpet in front of him, you must know that the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival may be the coldest red carpet in the world, outdoors at minus 2 degrees, even if you wear a down jacket, the cold wind will make people shiver. And it was on such a cold red carpet that there were still many dedicated female stars in front of them with bare backs, low cuts, and short skirts, which made Lin Yang have to gasp. Secretly sighed, I might as well too.
In contrast, male stars like Lin Yang are much more relaxed, they can justifiably wear suits and ties, and wrap themselves tightly.
In fact, don't look at it, don't look at it, there are a lot of people walking on the red carpet, but there are few real big bowls, and the rest is estimated to be rubbing the red carpet, because from the time they walked on the red carpet, those reporters didn't bird birds, they didn't have this person in front of them, and Lin Yang watched it for a long time and found that he had a long insight, that is, some actresses deliberately fell on the red carpet, and then the clothes seemed to be of bad quality and cracked. There is also a fall that is not enough to fall once and fall twice, which makes Lin Yang feel a chill in his heart, he really used any tricks to get out of the position!
Lin Yang glanced at each other, and then a few people walked on the red carpet majestically, originally Lin Yang was extremely envious of those movie stars who could walk on the red carpet, thinking that they could walk on the red carpet of the film festival was very tall, but when he walked up and smashed his mouth, it felt like that, there was no other special feeling, of course, it could be because the flashing lights and cheers around him were not for his sake!
In fact, at that time, Lin Yang and the others were a little lost in their hearts at that time, and they didn't stay on the red carpet for long, and a few people were very knowledgeable and didn't pose anything, but just looked straight ahead, and their footsteps moved quickly.
After getting off the red carpet, Lin Yang found that his little heart was pounding at this time, although there was no special feeling on the red carpet, but it was probably because of the first time he walked the red carpet!
After a while, the participants basically came, and after a while, Lin Yang saw the host's usual opening remarks and said: "Welcome to the 48th Berlin Film Festival." After a lot of loudspeakers: "Next, I would like to invite Ben Kingsley, the chairman of this session, to give a speech on stage."
Lin Yang saw the appearance of a little old man, and the energetic chairman Ben Kingsley came to the stage to deliver a speech, which roughly meant that he was very surprised when he heard that he was appointed chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, and he also said that he would conscientiously fulfill the obligations of the chairman of the praise committee. The rhetoric is actually the same, it's just a different person.
After that, the German Minister of Culture Bernd Neumann and the Mayor of Berlin Volvilet delivered speeches. Afterwards, Mike Lee, the chairman of the jury of the competition unit, slowly appeared under the introduction of host Anke Engelke, and then the members of the jury, including Leslie Cheung, Ben Kingslicenta Berg, Maurizio Nichett Héctor, made a collective appearance.
Then the opening ceremony ended successfully, Lin Yang and others can also go back, and tomorrow will start their own screening time for about ten days, and Lin Yang also knew after asking Jia Zhangke that Xiao Wu's film was scheduled to premiere in the No. 3 theater on February 18. It's not a good day, but there's no way to get there.
When Lin Yang and the others went back, they met a pair of people who were "The Happier the More Depraved", led by Guan Jinpeng, who was only forty-one years old, who seemed a little high-spirited, followed by Qiu Shuzhen, a female pig's foot in the play, and photographer Guan Benliang.
Because the two had a relationship when they signed up for the competition, and they are also Chinese directors, although the camp in China is different from Hong Kong Island and the mainland, but they still need to show a family outside, so the two unconsciously greeted politely, and then politely greeted each other.
When the two of them were greeting, Lin Yang looked at Guan Jinpeng, Qiu Shuzhen, and Guan Benliang opposite.
Needless to say, Guan Jinpeng was a very famous director in later generations, and it is possible that because he was gay, he unconsciously added a little idea to the film, and in later generations, a more famous gay-themed work "Lan Yu" became popular with Liu Ye and Hu Jun, who were unknown at the time. directly let the two win the Golden Horse Award Best Actor, the same year.
Qiu Shuzhen is a beautiful actress who debuted in 1987 to run for Miss Hong Kong, but was forced to withdraw from the election due to alleged plastic surgery, and signed a contract with Hong Kong TVB in the same year. In 1988, he was appreciated by director Wang Jing and entered the film industry and participated in the first film "Best Friend". In 1992, she was nominated for Best Actress at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards for "The Naked Lamb". Later, she starred in "The Gift of Immorality" and "The Happier the Worse", which was nominated for Best Actress at the 15th and 18th Hong Kong Film Awards respectively.
Kwan Ben-leung is a well-known cinematographer in Hong Kong and an outstanding cinematographer who has risen in Hong Kong in recent years.
After Lin Yang looked at the personnel on the other side, he then looked at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals on his side, he was really shameless to face the sky!
