Chapter 1153: Berlin Screening

On the morning of February 16, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu flew directly to Berlin by private jet. They were accompanied by photographer Zhao Fei and other relevant staff, in addition to Amy Adams and Tucker.

Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams sat together, muttering, discussing costumes, discussing cosmetics, and discussing how to wear them for the premiere. Zhang Ran is checking the Berlin Film Festival house program scores, and so far there are only two house books with a score of more than three points, "The Other Side of Hope" with a score of 3.7 and "A Good Woman" with a score of 3.2.

Zhang Ran thought to himself, "The Other Side of Hope" got a high score of 3.7 points, and it is a refugee theme, and the biggest competitor of "Angel of Justice" in Berlin is probably Aki Kaurismaki's film!

After the plane arrived in Berlin, Zhang Ran and the others just got off the plane, and they were hit by the cold air blowing in their faces, and they couldn't help but stumble. Zhang Ran and they had been to Berlin and knew how cold the winter was in Berlin, and they all wore thick down jackets. Amy Adams was in Berlin for the first time, dressed relatively thinly, and shivered by the cold wind.

It was at this moment that the president of the festival, Dieter Koslick, approached him. He laughed and gave Zhang Ran a warm hug, and then hugged Zhang Jingchu and them, and excitedly told everyone that everyone was looking forward to watching the five-hour version of "Angel of Justice"!

After Dieter Koslick dropped Zhang Ran off at the hotel, he sat down on the sofa with Zhang Ran to talk about the extended version of "Angel of Justice" and the premiere of the movie. He told Zhang Ran that only 1 minute after the official website started selling tickets, all the tickets for "Angel of Justice" were sold out, and some people even asked for tickets online at ten times the price.

Zhang Jingchu was going to talk to them, but was soon called out by Amy Adams, not shopping, but buying coats. It was too cold in Berlin and the coat brought by Amy Adams was too thin and needed a thicker coat. However, as soon as they came out of the hotel, they were surrounded by fans squatting at the door. Many fans came prepared, bringing Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams-related works and posters, etc., and rushed to get them to sign autographs. The two beauties couldn't refuse, so they could only sign autographs for them in the cold.

At breakfast the next morning, Zhang Ran noticed that Amy Adams had a red nose and asked what was going on. Amy Adams told Zhang Ran with a depressed face that she had a cold and kept wiping her nose and rubbing her nose red. Zhang Ran let Amy Adams rest and didn't have to attend the premiere in the afternoon. However, Amy Adams said she took cold medicine and has gotten better.

The premiere of "Angel of Justice" is at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the premiere is rarely held at this time, because 5 or 6 o'clock is when everyone eats, and many people will not come to the premiere at this time. But "Angel of Justice" can't be premiered at 7 or 8 o'clock like other movies, because the movie has 5 hours. If it's 7 o'clock, it's 12 o'clock when the movie ends.

Although the premiere of "Angel of Justice" was not very good, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the media and fans, and there was a long queue of journalists and spectators waiting for admission at 3 p.m. There were even a large number of reporters who chose to cut the queue for fear of not being able to enter, which led to disputes. One of the German journalists and a French journalist fought directly because of the problem of cutting in line.

While queuing, many reporters were discussing how the extended version of "Angel of Justice" would be, whether it would be a masterpiece like "Once Upon a Time in America" or a mediocre work like the extended version of "Cinema Paradiso"?

There are two versions of a movie, then the extended version has only two results, which is either better or worse. In the history of films, there are many movies that have a dismal reputation when they are released, and are even praised as bad movies, but after the extended version came out, the reputation of the movie quickly turned over, and the most representative work is "Once Upon a Time in America".

Italian director Sergio Leone turned down the invitation to "The Godfather" in order to prepare for the filming of "Once Upon a Time in America". He held a 400-page script in his hand and looked for investment everywhere, and it took 11 years to find it. When the film was finally finished, it was 249 minutes long, but when it was released in the United States, the producers cut it to 139 minutes, specifically erasing large flashback scenes.

The film eventually failed at the American word of mouth and box office, and Leon was devastated, and after returning to Italy, he died depressed, and this film became his posthumous work. It wasn't until years later that the director's cut of Once Upon a Time in America began to circulate widely, and the film was hailed as "one of the greatest films in film history."

The opposite is true of Cinema Paradiso, the original 173-minute version, which was lengthy, slow-paced, and included several scenes of the protagonist's emotions that were not only redundant but also very bloody, and were eventually cut into a 124-minute release by Harvey Weinstein, which was the most award-winning version of the film and considered by critics to be the best.

For the extended version of "Angel of Justice", the reporters have great confidence, believing that the extended version is better than the public version, after all, Zhang Ran has been like opening up the second pulse of Ren Du since "One Man Puts on the Lights", and each movie has maintained a very high standard, and the version he is most satisfied with will not be bad.

A few years ago, the movie "Rabe's Diary" made many Germans know Rabe, and with the popularity of "Angel of Justice", more people know Rabe's heroic deeds and are deeply moved by his heroic feats.

When Rabe's grandson Thomas Rabe and his wife Elizabeth Rabe, Rabe's maternal great-grandson Christopher Reinhardt and his daughter Ulrike Reinhardt appeared on the red carpet, fans at the scene put away their phones, reporters put down their cameras, and they clapped their hands vigorously and paid tribute to Rabe with applause.

Winters in Berlin have always been cold, and this year it was even colder. Zhang Ran and the other men are in good condition, with thermal underwear under their suits. Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams are more miserable, they have to wear topless and backless dresses. Although Zhang Jingchu was ready to have a warm baby, she and Amy Adams both pasted a warm baby, and drank two sips of white wine before walking on the red carpet, but when they were really on the red carpet, the two beauties were still trembling and had to pretend to be smiling, which was really beautiful and frozen.

After walking the red carpet and entering the movie palace, Zhang Ran found that Zhang Jingchuqing's nose was flowing out, so he quickly took out his handkerchief and asked her to wipe it.

Zhang Jingchu was a little embarrassed, so she protested to Koslick, saying that the red carpet of the film festival should break the traditional dress etiquette, why must you wear a dress on the red carpet, why can't you wear a coat or down jacket?

Fifteen minutes before the official screening of the film, all 1,627 seats in the screening hall were filled, so "Angel of Justice" was screened 15 minutes earlier than ever before.

The main line and structure of the extended version of "Angel of Justice" and the theatrical version of "Angel of Justice" are the same, and the difference is mainly in the details. Take Weitling, for example, in the release version, the audience saw the kindness and strength of the character, but in the extended version, the audience also saw the innocent side of her character. For example, on December 17, Dongying soldiers captured 12 girls from Jin Nuda, but they were released the next morning. The girls told Weitling that they had only been beaten after being taken away by the soldiers and that nothing bad had happened. Weitling believed it, believing it to be a miracle, and to the credit of everyone's prayers. It wasn't until some time later, when a girl committed suicide because she was pregnant, that she knew the truth of the matter. She blamed herself very much for this, and felt that if she had asked them clearly at the time and sent them to the Drum Tower Hospital for treatment, the tragedy would not have happened.

Weitling has a naïve side, sincerely believes in God, believes that people are good, always thinks that everything will be fine, and even thinks that if the women of Dongying know everything that happened in Nanjing, they will come out to stop the war, but the darkness of reality is destroying everything, not only making Weitling's spirit greatly stimulated, but also devouring her faith, making her tired of religion, and finally making her collapse.

The extended version of "Angel of Justice" also added some more thrilling plots, such as Rabe and Han Xianglin risking their lives to take pictures and collect materials on the streets of Nanjing, and handed over these materials to Sorge, an intelligence analyst at the German Embassy in Japan, hoping to hand over these documents to the top of the German government and the Japanese government and opposition through his connections, so as to get attention and stop the atrocities of the Dongying soldiers.

In addition to this, the film also shows the contradictions between the Toei army and the diplomatic department. Because of Rabe's constant protests to the Toei Embassy, coupled with the looting of American and German properties, the Toei Embassy was under great pressure, and they told Rabe: "The military people want to make a mess of the situation in the city, and our embassy is trying to avoid this!" However, the Toei diplomats did not have any restraining effect on the Toei soldiers, and the notices posted by the embassy on the foreigners' real estate were torn up by the Toei soldiers as waste paper, and even Dazuo came to the embassy and threatened to burn the embassy. These details do not mean that the Dongying diplomats are good people, but reflect the fact that the Nanjing Massacre was supported by the top brass of the Dongying army, and it was an organized massacre, and it is precisely because of this that the Dongying soldiers dared to be so unscrupulous.

These added details not only make the story of "Angel of Justice" more detailed, but also make the images of the three protagonists more full, more distinct, and more vivid, and at the same time let the audience have a deeper understanding of the Nanjing Massacre, Zhang Chunru and Rabe, heroes such as Zhang Chunru and Rabe.

Five hours is too long for a movie, and watching a movie like this is a challenge for anyone. But in the process of watching "Angel of Justice", media reporters and fans hardly felt the passage of time, and the whole person was immersed in the story. They weep at the misfortune in the story and smile at Zhang Chunru's success, and their emotions rise and fall as the story progresses.

When the movie ended, no one stood up, let alone walked around. The screen is still bright, slowly scrolling through the production credits. Five minutes later, the subtitles ended, but the audience remained unmoved, and everyone was still immersed in the world of the movie.

Koslick wanted to get up and applaud, but found that his body was already a little numb from sitting for too long. He struggled to his feet, raised his hands, and slapped them together. After Koslick's applause, the audience stood up one by one and clapped their hands vigorously. The applause gathered together, like a trickle, gradually turned into a terrifying wave, swept like a tsunami, violently hitting the surrounding walls, and reverberating.

Almost everyone feels the same way, the release version of "Angel of Justice" is good, but the extended version of "Angel of Justice" is even better!

The applause was surging and continued five minutes later, and only after ten minutes did the applause slowly stop. The audience's love for "Angel of Justice" was undoubtedly revealed, and it was the most exciting scene since the opening of this year's Berlin Film Festival.

The audience is paying tribute with applause, paying tribute to "Angels of Justice" with applause, paying tribute to all the creators who made such a shocking work, and paying tribute to those angels of justice in the movie with applause.
