At 8:30 p.m., the plane landed steadily in Berlin. Wang Quanan took his assistant and walked outside the plane with other passengers. Zhang Ran and the others slowly packed their luggage and did not rush out. Soon after the plane took off, a flight attendant found Zhang Ran and expressed that the entire flight crew liked him very much and hoped to take a group photo when it was convenient for a while. Now that all the passengers got off the plane, Zhang Ran called over with the flight crew and began to take photos with everyone.

At this time, in the hall on the first floor, hundreds of reporters gathered, as well as a large group of fans holding balloons and holding cheering cards to pick up the plane. Fans, mostly Chinese, or Asians, immediately looked excitedly into the hall when they heard the flight announcement on the radio.

As soon as Wang Quanan walked into the hall, he heard the excited chatter of the passengers in front of him.

"These are all here to pick up Zhang Ran, I didn't expect so many people to pick up the airport in Germany!"

"Yes, this is not a small situation, and it is estimated that all the international students in Berlin have come here. ”

"There are a lot of foreigners, but I didn't expect Zhang Ran to be so famous abroad. ”

Wang Quanan glanced up, and saw Zhang Ran's name written on the support card in the fan's hand, and it was really Zhang Ran who came to pick him up; He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, Zhang Ran only won a golden lion at the three major film festivals, and he also won a golden bear in Berlin, which is not much worse than him; Berlin is still his home field, and the opening films of this year's Berlin Film Festival are his own "Troupe Members", which is the highest honor. As a result, the reporters and fans who picked up the airport were all rushing to Zhang Ran.

At this moment, Wang Quanan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw Dieter Koslick, the president of the Berlin Film Festival. Wang Quanan is a direct descendant of Berlin, and the festival also takes him very seriously, and his film is not only shortlisted for the main competition unit, but also the opening film of the festival, and he takes it for granted that Dieter Koslick is here to pick him up.

For any of the participating films, for any filmmaker, the highest courtesy enjoyed at the film festival is the personal reception of the chairman of the film festival.

Wang Quanan didn't expect Dieter Koslick to come to pick up the plane in person, the excitement, the pride from the heart was simply overflowing, and he forgot about Zhang Ran's sourness, he smiled brightly and walked over to Dieter Koslick.

Dieter Koslick also saw Wang Quan'an, walked over with a smile, and gave him a hug: "Haha, Quan'an, I didn't expect you to take this plane too!"

The smile suddenly froze on Wang Quanan's face, and the whole person froze, I didn't expect me to take this plane too? This doesn't mean to pick me up? Asked tentatively, "Are you here to pick up Zhang Ran?"

Dieter Koslick said directly: "yes, I didn't expect you to be a plane, did you see him?"

Wang Quanan smiled awkwardly, and said sourly: "Zhang Ran is very popular, the flight attendants on the plane are all his fans, and now he is taking photos with those flight attendants with the crew members!"

"Yes, Zhang is so popular!" Dieter Koslick glanced at the fans holding various cheering cards, then turned around and called the staff in charge of reception, and ordered, "Take Kwon An to the hotel!" He patted Wang Kwon An on the shoulder and said cordially: "You rest early, and we'll find a time to talk alone tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Wang Quan was much more comfortable, he was a descendant of Berlin after all, not an abandoned orphan, he said hello to Dieter Koslick, and walked through the passage with the reception staff to the outside.

Wang Quanan had just sat in the organizing committee's car, and suddenly heard a loud shout in unison, "Zhang Ran!", he couldn't help but sigh slightly, fame is good!

"My dear friend, you're finally here!" Dieter Koslick walked quickly over to Zhang Ran and gave him a ferocious bear hug. Next, he opened his arms and gave Zhang Jingchu another hug: "Beautiful Jingchu, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Zhang Ran exchanged a few words with Dieter Koslick and introduced Li Xuejian, the main creators, to him: "Let me introduce, this is Li Xuejian, this is Hu Jun, and this is ......"

Dieter Koslick likes "One Man Shines the Light" very much, and he also admires the performances of the actors, so he is very enthusiastic about the crew members and hugs several main creators one by one.

Coming out of the airport, Dieter Koslick, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu got into a car and personally accompanied them towards the brightly lit city center.

Sitting in the car, Dieter Koslick danced and said: ""One Man Puts on the Lights" is the best film invited by this film festival, it is the biggest hit of this film festival, I personally like this movie very much, but unfortunately I am not a judge and have no right to decide the list of winners!"

The director has achieved Zhang Ran's level, and he has long not cared too much about the award. He came to Berlin mainly for publicity, and the Berlin Film Festival is the best publicity platform for experimental films such as "One Man Puts on the Lights", and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you win the award or not, the important thing is whether the audience likes it or not." My film has a mixed reputation in China, and I hope that the German audience will enjoy it. ”

Dieter Koslick is very confident in "One Man's Lights": "I'm sure the German audience will love this movie, it's a perfect film, it's really good. He looked at Zhang Jingchu again and praised: "Jingchu, your performance in this movie is so good, you are a big hit for the actress, only the heroine of the Dongying movie "Taro Worm" can pose some threats to you." ”

Zhang Jingchu's eyes lit up when she heard this, she has not won a decent international award, and she has made unimaginable efforts for this film, being able to win the award is undoubtedly an affirmation of her efforts, but she still said modestly: "The films that can be shortlisted are all excellent, and everything is difficult to say until the end." ”

The car soon arrived at the Brandenburg Gate in the center of Berlin and stopped at the world-famous Hotel Adlon.

The Adlon Hotel was the favorite residence of Wilhelm II, the last emperor of the German Empire, and was once home to countless international celebrities and dignitaries. A few years ago, Michael Jackson was holding his child Prince Michael II on the balcony of the Adlon Hotel, waving to the fans downstairs, causing the child to hang in the air, only to be hacked by the media that he wanted to throw the child, saying that he was irresponsible, causing an uproar.

Entering the hotel, waiting for Zhang Ran and them to finish the check-in procedures, Dieter Koslick said goodbye to Zhang Ran: "You guys have a good rest first, if you have anything, you can contact me at any time." ”

Zhang Ran hugged him: "Thank you, Dieter." ”

When he came to his room, Zhang Ran went to the bathroom to wash his face, sat on the sofa in the living room, took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Dali's phone: "Lao Liu, I'm in Berlin." Let's meet in a moment, where do you live?"

Liu Dali laughed when he heard Zhang Ran: "We are at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Potsdamer Platz, where the press center of the film festival is, and there are reporters coming in and out. If you come here, you will definitely be surrounded by reporters, so let's come to you!"

Zhang Ran knew that the Hyatt Regency Hotel was one of the main venues of the film festival, and during the film festival, it was often arranged for all the big names to participate in the film festival.

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and asked, "I'm going to the café to meet Liu Dali and them, do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Jingchu felt that it was boring to sit in the house, and she didn't want to go out with the assistant, so she tilted her head and said, "Okay, after meeting and talking with them, let's go out for a walk together." ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "Okay, let's go to Berlin at night in that moment!"

The two of them didn't bother to change their clothes, so they came out of the room, called their assistants, and came to the hotel café.

The café is small in size and has a good environment, so Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu found a quieter place to sit down, while the assistant sat down at the table next to it. Since they didn't eat much on the plane, Zhang Ran asked for some pastries in addition to coffee. As soon as the waiter left, a customer recognized Zhang Ran and came over to ask for an autograph. Zhang Ran naturally agreed, and chatted with the girl who wanted to sign the autograph.

Soon after, Liu Dali and Fang Muwei, who was in charge of the organization of the Fantasy Film Festival, arrived. Fang Muwei graduated from the USC Film School, and his family is in the radio and television system, so he is in charge of the organization and planning of the film festival.

The two said hello to Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, sat down opposite them, asked for coffee, and then chatted with Zhang Ran.

The Berlinale was very enthusiastic about Liu Dali's arrival, arranged for an expert who has worked at the festival for 30 years to receive them, and arranged a special vehicle. Today, under the leadership of this expert, Liu Dali and their visit to the film festival can be said to be an eye-opener.

Liu Dali said with emotion: "We have held the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in Lin'an and Ningbo before, but I don't think it is difficult to hold a film festival. I visited for one day this year, and I kind of know how complicated this is. Let the big stars who are lacking in skills and noble and glamorous have time to patronize, and they have to rack their brains just for the schedule. The participants came from more than 100 regions around the world, and reception, accommodation, and travel were all problems. It is too difficult to run a successful international film festival, and it needs to have a good organization and a system in all aspects. The Berlinale has been 60 years old and the organization is very mature, but the festival director told us that even so, there are many problems that arise every year. The organization of the festival is incredibly complex. ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it's really not easy to run a good film festival, so we not only have to inspect a good film festival, but also have to examine a film festival that is not very good, like the Magic City Film Festival, we should also go to investigate." The Magic City Film Festival is far from the three major film festivals in terms of professionalism, and the organization is relatively chaotic. When I participated in the Modu Film Festival last year, I had a first-hand experience, and a reporter I knew told me that the Modu Film Festival was the most chaotic international A-category film festival he had ever attended. Let's go to the Demon Capital to investigate why this is happening, what their problems are, and when we do it ourselves, we can try to avoid these problems. ”

Liu Dali's eyes lit up, Zhang Ran was able to be so successful, it was really not blown out, he really had to see the problem farther than ordinary people, and others often stared at the good ones when they investigated. He not only wants to see the good, but also wants to see the bad. When you know what others are not doing well, then when you do it yourself, you can avoid these problems, and nodded: "The Magic Capital Film Festival should indeed be seen, we should learn from the good places, and we will eliminate the bad places." ”

Fang Muwei next to him laughed: "Mr. Zhang, you don't know, we met people from the Modu Culture and Broadcasting Bureau today, and they had a promotion meeting on the 13th to promote the main activities for this year's Modu Film Festival." ”

Zhang Ran was stunned and laughed: "It seems that the Magic Capital Film Festival is as pedantic as imagined, and it really knows how to be in line with international standards!"
