According to German media reports, this year is the coldest winter in Berlin in 30 years. Originally, the weather was cold enough, but at six o'clock in the afternoon, it suddenly snowed heavily, and the wind and snow were combined, and the cold was overwhelming, even if I was wearing a heavy coat, I felt cold.

But even so, it still can't stop people from loving movies. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the red carpet in front of the Movie Palace, and in addition to more than a hundred journalists from all over the world, there were also hundreds of avid fans, including a sizable proportion of Chinese. Everyone was wearing thick cotton clothes, many wearing hats and masks, and from a distance, it looked like a herd of bears gathering.

At half past seven in the evening, Zhang Ran and his entourage came to the movie palace by car. The car slowly drove into the red carpet area and stopped at the entrance of the red carpet, Zhang Jingchu looked at the red carpet through the window and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's such a cold weather, it's still snowing heavily, Renee Zellweger is wearing a backless outfit, it's too tough!"

Zhang Jingchu was wearing a set of white floor-length skirts, long sleeves, and a stand-up collar, which wrapped the whole person tightly. On the right chest and left shoulder of the long skirt are embellished with black plums, and the whole skirt has a nice name called Treading Snow and Looking for Plum.

In order to keep warm, Zhang Jingchu put a warm baby on her stomach and vest, as long as her stomach is not cold, her whole body is not cold. In addition, she also wore a pair of autumn pants under her skirt. Zhang Ran joked with Zhang Jingchu, if Su Mang knew that you were wearing autumn pants on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival, she would definitely break off your friendship.

Zhang Jingchu was just about to get out of the car, when she saw two white flowers floating in front of her eyes, and quickly rushed onto the red carpet, stirring up the entire red carpet. It turned out to be two streakers with slogans for the protection of animals written on their chests. She was dumbfounded and said, "It's crazy that someone is running naked in such a cold weather!"

Not only Zhang Jingchu thought so, but also the fans and reporters present thought so, today's temperature is minus five degrees, and running naked in such a cold weather is not afraid of freezing the birds? Fans and reporters pointed their mobile phone cameras at the two naked runners, and in the night, they only heard the sound of clicking constantly, and the flash lights kept flashing.

The security guards caught up with the two streakers, pinned them to the ground, and quickly took them away.

After a brief riot, the red carpet returned to normal, and "One Person's Lights" finally walked on the red carpet, and their appearance won the enthusiastic pursuit of Chinese fans and East Asian media at the scene, cheering and screaming one after another.

Zhang Jingchu supported her smile with strong willpower, and kept waving at the fans on both sides. Although she wore woolen pants and a warm baby on her body, she still couldn't bear today's low temperature, and the smile on her face was a little frozen. She didn't stop on the red carpet for long, waved at the Chinese fans on both sides of the red carpet, and then floated over the red carpet like a gust of wind. The reporters on both sides of the red carpet saw Zhang Jingchu floating by like this, and shouted regret: "Why did you walk over so quickly?" and "I only took two photos, it's a pity!"

Zhang Ran and his entourage entered the hall, and before their buttocks were hot, someone came over to say hello, it was Janet Montgomery. She starred in Summit Entertainment's "Fatal Bend 3" and participated in "Black Swan", and she must have come over to say hello to Zhang Ran, the big boss. After Janet Montgomery, there were quite a few second- and third-rate actors from Hollywood and Europe who came to say hello. Zhang Ran is the big boss of Summit Entertainment, if he sees himself, he will be one step to the sky.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the German actress Anko Engelke, who served as the host, took the stage and the opening ceremony officially began.

After Engelke babbled on and on, the festival's president, Koslick, was invited to the stage. The first thing he did after taking the stage was to encourage Engelke to speak Chinese: "There are many guests from China at the scene today, you are so powerful, why don't you come to Chinese to host." Engelke really chirped and said a lot, but none of the crew members of "Reunion" and "One Person" in the audience understood it, and they were all amused.

Zhang Jingchu smiled and asked, "What is this she said?"

Zhang Ran translated seriously: "She said, Zhang Ran, why are you so handsome? It's like a firefly in the night, bright stars, bright and dazzling......"

Zhang Jingchu rolled her eyes and said, "Narcissist, what she said is that I have never seen someone as brazen as Zhang Ran!"

The most concise opening ceremony of the three major film festivals is Cannes, which will be over in about 20 minutes. The opening ceremony in Berlin was rather protracted, not only to introduce the judges of each competition section, but also to give speeches by the mayor, the minister of culture, and even the names of the sponsors, which was not much better than the bureaucratic opening ceremonies of domestic film festivals.

Zhang Ran, who was sitting in his seat, was bored, thinking in his heart that the opening ceremony of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival in the future must be as concise as possible, this is really boring!

After 50 minutes of suffering, the opening ceremony finally ended, and the opening video began to be played, and Zhang Ran also cheered up. He has watched Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" and "White Deer Plain", but he really hasn't seen "Reunion".

After the movie started, Zhang Ran learned that "Reunion" is about the Kuomintang veteran Ling Feng who returned to the magic capital in his later years to visit his old lover Lu Yan, who had been separated for decades, and hoped to take her back to Taiwan. Lu Yan, who has worked hard for her children all her life, not only hopes to feel alive for love in the last few years of her life, but also can't let go of her husband who has been kind for 40 years. Several children also have their own ideas. The whole family became tense because of the yearning for reunion of a bent guest. In the end, Ling Feng boarded the boat back to Taiwan alone.

This film is more distinctive in terms of shooting techniques, most of the scenes take place in a small space, and a large number of long shots are used to present the dialogue between the characters, especially the dialogue at the dinner table, through this subtle way, to convey the inner feelings of the characters.

The whole movie was made warm and moving, and in the middle of the screening, many viewers were moved by the movie, and crying was heard from time to time. At the end of the movie, the applause was thunderous, and many viewers stood up and applauded vigorously, and the whole applause lasted for nearly 4 minutes.

Coming out of the movie theater, Hu Jun and the others were all talking about it, thinking that the movie was good. Hu Jun saw that Zhang Ran never expressed his position, so he asked, "Zhang Ran, what do you think of the movie?"

Zhang Ran felt that the movie was okay, and said: "On the whole, the film is more attractive, and the life of the little people reflects the grand theme that the division of the country is a tragedy." The Berlin Film Festival attaches the most importance to the film with political themes, "Reunion" belongs to the genre that the Berlin Film Festival particularly likes, and it should be able to win the award, but compared with "Tuya's Marriage", it lacks progress and surprises, and it can't win the award. ”

Hu Jun asked again: "Then do you think "One Man Puts on the Lights" can win the award?"

Zhang Ran has absolute confidence in the artistry of his film, but there are too many uncertain factors for winning the award, so he said: "Maybe, the chairman of the jury is Werner Herzog, I don't think he will like the style of our film!"

When he got up the next morning, Zhang Ran went to the window to take a look, and the snow had stopped, but the whole city was covered in white and white. The whole city seems peaceful and holy, giving people the wonderful feeling of being in a fairy tale world.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Feng Yuan got into the car and drove slowly to the outskirts of the city. Along the way, Feng Yuan didn't speak, looking preoccupied.

Zhang Ran felt that this was even more timid, Feng Yuan was too worried that the teacher would not forgive him, and comforted: "Don't worry, after so many years, your teacher must have forgiven you a long time ago." ”

Feng Yuanyi shook his head lightly: "It's been nineteen years, she's about to be eighty, I don't know if she has moved, and I don't know if she's still there." ”

Zhang Jingchu also comforted: "No, it must be fine, we will definitely be able to meet him." ”

Feng Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I should have come to see her, but I haven't had the courage, I'm afraid that she is still angry with me, and I'm afraid that she won't forgive me." ”

Feng Yuan sighed deeply and babbled about his past after he first arrived in Germany.

Tell how he got to Germany, tell me how Mersin took her to visit the Berlin Wall, talk about life in Germany, talk about how Mersin cared for him, and even paved the way for him to act, arranging for him to act in a troupe run by one of her students, earning fifteen to two thousand marks a month. In Germany, Feng Yuanyi felt like a fish in water, but in the end he could not fully integrate, because he had such a Chinese face, and there was no opportunity to act at all.

Zhang Ran has always thought that the reason why Feng Yuanyi's acting skills are so good, in addition to his excellent talent and strict training by Grotowsky, he must have experienced a lot of things that others have not experienced, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, life is really the best teacher for actors!

Feng Yuanyi talked about the past in Germany for a while, and then talked about how he and Mersin met: "Director Lin Zhaohua went to Europe and met Professor Mersin who taught Grotowski at the Higher Academy of Arts in West Berlin. The teachers and students are very friendly to Mersin. But for Grotowski, there was also controversy among the teachers of Renyi at that time. During the training, Mersin made extensive use of physical techniques to bring out the potential of the actors, and the three- to four-hour course included tumbling, jumping and other sports skills, which was very hard and some of his classmates resisted. Our class Wu Gang, Wu Gang, you know, right?"

Zhang Jingchu nodded and said: "I know, the five of you are the Five Tigers of Renyi, playing Lu Qiaoshan in "Latent". ”

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's him." His body was very stiff, and every time he attended Mersin's class, it was particularly painful, and then he pretended to be sick and skipped class, using various excuses to skip class. Mersin asked Wu Gang, why don't you come to class. Wu Gang said, I'm sick. Mersin asked, "What is the disease?" Wu Gang said, "Athlete's foot." As a result, the interpreter turned the athlete's foot into a foot disease, and when Mersin heard that his foot was sick, he thought he had a broken bone and immediately granted leave. ”

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu laughed, but they didn't expect that Wu Gang, who had a righteous face, would have such a stubborn time.

Feng Yuan said with a smile: "I have always been very serious in class, I have spared no effort, and I understand quickly, Mersin often praises me for ......"

Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the place. An old-fashioned walled building, the kind of house that can be found everywhere in Germany, with the courtyard gate closed.

After parking the car by the wall, Feng Yuan got out of the car in a daze, looking at the yard in a daze, nineteen years, this yard has hardly changed, and it has not changed much from when he left, but the nineteen years of the bedroom have made the whole house a lot old, and the paint on the door looks a little mottled.

Since the yard hasn't changed, everything hasn't changed, then Mersin shouldn't have moved and still live here!

Zhang Ran saw Feng Yuan staring at the wooden door in a daze, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ring the doorbell, don't hesitate!"

Feng Yuan didn't speak, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and was about to step forward to ring the doorbell, when the courtyard door opened. Mersin was in a wheelchair, her gray hair fluttering in the wind, much older than the lean woman she remembered.

Mersin saw Feng Yuan stunned for a few seconds, then stretched out his right hand and shouted tremblingly, "Stunned!"

Feng Yuan smiled hard at Mersin, but the tears fell from this smile, he walked over, hugged her hard, and shouted, "Mom!"
