Chapter 53: The Red Carpet of the Premiere
The premiere of "The Two of Us" was scheduled for 3:30 p.m., which was actually a very bad premiere time, with a relatively small audience and a lot of media reluctant to attend.
The prime time for the red carpet and movie premiere is seven or eight o'clock in the evening, when the audience and reporters have finished their usual chores and can go to the show wholeheartedly.
However, this time period belongs to well-known directors, and newcomers and low-profile crews are generally arranged to walk the red carpet at three or four o'clock in the afternoon and hold a premiere, just like a dessert before a meal, kicking off the dinner in the evening.
Tonight's schedule is "Wilderness Hunting" directed by great director Ron Howard and co-starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett.
However, Cheng Peng didn't want to be someone else's appetizer, he planned to steal the limelight from Ron Howard, everything was possible, because he knew that "Far Tracking" was not very well filmed, the reputation was very bad, and his plan could be successful.
Gentlemen of the film festival, today you can see my strength, let me conquer you with movies! Cheng Peng sat in the car heading to the premiere, there was no nervousness in his heart, only anticipation.
At the same time as Cheng Peng and the others went to the movie palace, the media guarding both sides of the red carpet were also waiting for the arrival of the main creator of the crew, the crew was too low-key, and the reporters didn't know who they were.
"What do you think 'The Two of Us' is like?" Because the main creator of the crew refused to appear on the stage, the reporters stood on both sides of the red carpet and discussed quietly.
"It should be good, it is particularly difficult for young directors to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, this director has never heard of it, and he can only be shortlisted by strength."
"The only domestic director who can be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival is Zhang Yimou, this person is the second, very powerful!"
"Zhang Yimou graduated from film school and has been a photographer for several years, so he doesn't know where he came from."
"Whatever, we're here to take pictures anyway, and we can make a difference if we have a photo...... It's coming, it's coming! As he spoke, a limousine slowly drove to the entrance of the red carpet, and all the media reporters focused their eyes on the door.
The car door slowly opened under the gaze of everyone, and a young man walked up and down from the car, his appearance and figure attracted the attention of female fans at the scene, the black suit with a plain white shirt clearly outlined his figure, and his handsome face hung with a sunny smile, which seemed very affinity, and it was the type that looked particularly comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
The female audience at the scene exclaimed: "Wow, so handsome!" ”
"It looks so sunny and charming, I'll be his fan in the future!"
The usher at the entrance led the man to the edge of the red carpet, but instead of rushing inside, he stood there waiting for the rest of the crew.
Immediately after that, another black luxury car drove over, and after the door slowly opened, a white figure slowly walked down from the car, and the long skirt swayed gently, as if out of a painting.
When the image of the girl came into view, both sides of the red carpet, whether it was Chinese journalists, foreign media, or audiences, fell into a temporary state of sluggishness. The red carpet, which was originally a bit noisy, was silent, and then the click of the shutter sounded wildly, and the white flashes spread out all over the sky, illuminating the hazy sky.
In the midst of a strong flash, someone shouted: "This is simply a goddess from the East, so beautiful!" ”
"Oh my God, what kind of dress is that, it's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen, it's just a painting!"
"That's the painting, that's a Chinese painting, it's a plum blossom, and there's a poem about plum blossoms written on it!" One of the speakers was a Chinese student, with a faint sense of pride in her words, she could not translate the beautiful poem to her German friends, so she could only read it out in Chinese, "Mei Xue is not willing to surrender to spring, scratching people's pavilion pen fee to comment on the medal." The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance. ”
The reactions of the media reporters were reflected in Cheng Peng's eyes, he was very satisfied with the effect, and it seemed that his plan to steal the limelight was successful.
In fact, at the opening ceremony, he considered stealing the limelight and creating momentum for the movie, but there were too many big Hollywood names at the premiere, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, Renee Zellweger, etc., there was no chance at all, so he put the plan on the premiere.
This set of dresses originated from later generations has a nice name "treading the snow to find the plum", the white classical drag long skirt, the front of the yarn is open, the plum blossom is hidden in the yarn, walking is the ink plum slightly dewed, from time to time, it is in response to the "treading the snow to find the plum" of the word "seeking", it looks very freehand, mixed with nature!
The thin snowflakes floating in the sky, the long white dress, and the ink plum are simply the perfect reproduction of the artistic conception of Lu Meipo's "Snow Plum" under this sky in Berlin.
The snowflakes in Berlin in February fell on Cheng Peng's face, a little cold, but there was a fire burning in his heart, he glanced at the smiling girl next to him, and asked, "Are you nervous, Yaya?" ”
Tong Liyu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not nervous at all!" ”
Cheng Peng nodded, made a gesture of please, and said, "That's good, this is the stage prepared for you, you are the brightest star on this stage, today the whole Berlin is destined to add light because of your appearance, now it's time for you to appear!" ”
Tong Liyu nodded, with a sweet smile, stepped on the red carpet and walked into the photo area.
Once again, a flash of light enveloped her, and the photographer became even more frantic, the shutter sounding as if he had ten fingers pressed the shutter.
Tong Liyu always maintained a sweet smile on her face, although it was the first time to experience such a scene, she did not feel nervous, but her heart was peaceful.
However, she remembered that Cheng Peng once reminded herself that it is not advisable to stay in the photo area for too long on the red carpet, otherwise it will cause others to be disgusted and think that you are rubbing the red carpet, so after a short stay, she walked out of the red carpet area.
But the photographers apparently didn't shoot enough, and they all stopped doing it, shouting loudly: "No, no, no, please don't go, shoot a little longer, pretty miss!" ”
And the photographer on the other side is also frantically shouting: "Beautiful young lady, please come here, please!" ”
However, Tong Liyu didn't understand what they were shouting, ignored them, and walked towards Cheng Peng without any scruples.
Cheng Peng was not idle, the moment he walked on the red carpet, the female fans at the scene were a little crazy, standing there waving the small book in his hand and shouting: "Handsome guy, handsome guy!" ”
No way, this is the treatment of newcomers, others don't even know your name, but Cheng Peng walked over with a smile, took the pen and paper, and joked with them while signing: "My name is Cheng Peng, remember my name, because there are many handsome guys, but Cheng Peng has only one!" ”
Several girls said in unison: "Cheng Peng, you are so handsome!" ”
"You're beautiful too, you're all big beauties!"
Several girls looked ordinary, and when they heard the handsome guy praise themselves, they were surprised: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true, it's even more true than the truth!"
"Cheng Peng, you must be the starring actor if you are so handsome, right?"
"No, I'm a director, and I also made a cameo role in the movie!"
"No, you're so young!" Several girls exclaimed, there are many young directors participating in the Berlin Film Festival, but they are basically in the new generation unit, but Cheng Pengjin is in the main competition unit, which is really amazing.
At this time, how could the reporter be behind, the microphone stretched out one after another, one of them almost stuffed Cheng Peng's mouth, and one of the small female reporters squeezed in the front: "I am a reporter from the movie channel "World Movie Tour", can I ask you a few questions?" ”
"Absolutely."
"Is the movie a reaction or something, is it about love?"
Cheng Peng smiled: "No, the movie is about a story between a young girl and an old lady, describing the communication and understanding between people, and the other heroine, who is eighty years old, was unable to come to Berlin because of poor health." ”
"Why did you shoot such a subject?"
"I worked as a Beipiao, and when I first arrived in the capital, I rented an old lady's house, and many of the things in the movie are derived from real experiences, so I want to say thank you for life."
"What is your evaluation of "The Two of Us" and what are your expectations for winning the award?"
"It doesn't matter how I evaluate myself, the film leaves the editing room, it is a product, and the right to evaluate is handed over to the audience, I hope to be able to see everyone's evaluation as soon as possible, which is the most important thing. As for the awards, the awards are particularly important for newcomers like us, if we can win the awards, our film road will be much easier, just like Zhang Yimou, if he didn't win the Golden Bear, he would definitely be able to come out, but the road may not be so smooth, so I hope I can win the award, the bigger the better, if the Golden Bear is better! ”
After answering a few questions, Cheng Peng waved his hand at several reporters: "Everyone, the movie is about to start, I have to go in, and I will have a chance to talk in the future!" ”
During the whole process of taking pictures, Tong Liyu left the red carpet photo area twice and was asked to return twice, which is a miracle on the red carpet since the opening ceremony of the film festival.
Tong Liliang's appearance at the premiere was so amazing that Cheng Peng believes that Cate Blanchett's appearance in the evening will not be able to take away her own light, and the whole of Berlin will shine because of her appearance on this day.
However, conquering the reporters on the red carpet is only the first step, and the next step is to use movies to conquer the audience in the theater, which depends on thorough strength!
