Chu Qing felt quite funny.

Every time he goes out, Fan Xiaoye is also guaranteed to have a job, and there will be no situation where she will be left alone in the empty room. But on the other hand, it is very sad, as soon as Fan Xiaoye goes out, he is idle a lot of the time......

When Lou Ye, who hadn't seen him for almost two years, appeared in front of him, he looked like he had first acquaintance, and the melancholy that could not be erased in his bones was deep. Lou Ye is not a character who will take the initiative to find friends to get together, usually he contacts you, not only because of the movie, but also because of the movie.

The friendship between people is very strange, Chu Qing has come all the way, and none of these friends he has made have become iron porcelain. Many people don't have any intersection on weekdays, and they are busy with their own things, but they really think about it and think about it.

When I went to the Netherlands, I was accompanied only by Nai An and Lou Ye, plus a translator. Before leaving, there was fine snow falling in the capital, and from the plane, it was very in line with the hypocrisy in his lens.

7,800 kilometres away in Rotterdam, it's also winter.

They flew to Amsterdam first, then took the train to transfer, and when they walked out of the paper-clip-like central station, Chu Qing was in a trance, because there was also snow scattered here. He felt that he didn't have the life to be a warm man, and he went abroad twice, and he came to such a cold city.

Unlike Berlin, which is quiet and cold, Rotterdam is like a frozen lake, surrounded by a bustling forest, but you can't see the life swimming at the bottom of the lake.

The climate here is slightly warmer than that in the capital, Xu is a teammate is too middle-aged, and among the four people, the most fashionable is Chu Qing, with a stand-up collar coat, a proper suit, and a plain scarf. My girlfriend did everything she could to pick him up in her life, and in the snow, there was a unique kind of long-legged Oba's daring feet.

As one of the earliest independent producers in China, Nai'an's experience is still reliable, at least there is no dilemma that he can't even find a hotel. Several people got into a taxi, unhurried through the narrow streets, looking at the exotic scenery, and did not speak.

Rotterdam was completely blown up in World War II. When it was rebuilt, it became a testing ground for various modern architectural styles, and although it lost the classical beauty of the Middle Ages that other cities are proud of, it was very different.

Their hotel, for example, is a tower that looks like a pencil holder.

Nai An was checking in, and it seemed to be troublesome, and Chu Qing stood at the door for a while. There were two young foreign people smoking cigarettes on the side, and they couldn't help but look back at him, and one of them asked a friendly question.

Chu Qing blinked, with his scum five's English level, except for "temptation". It's just that "fi1m" can barely understand. Even guessed, he smiled and said, "yes!" ”

The young man nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said another word.

Seeing that he didn't look like a black-bellied child, Chu Qing took it as a compliment or encouragement, and said: "Thank you!" ”

Nai An only booked two rooms, one for her and the translator, and one for Lou Ye and Chu Qing. He was slightly skeptical. Did you find a female translator just to save money?

It doesn't matter who he lives with, but Lou Ye is a little reserved, and when he enters the house, he carries a suitcase and cat in the bathroom. Tinkered for a long time.

Chu Qing guessed that this product was changing underwear, but wondered, you are flying, not jerking. Which underwear to change?

There is also heating in the house, which is warm and dry, and the double-glazed windows cut off the winter scene. It was noon. According to the time in the capital, it is about evening, and it is not very sleepy. He lay on the bed, stretched his waist lazily, and traveled all the way to the Netherlands to see his movie come out, which was really a slight pain.

"How does it feel here?"

Lou Ye carried a suitcase in one hand and an extra bag in the other, and when he came out, he saw that he was very bored, so he asked.

"It's okay, there are fewer people, and there is not a table of mahjong all over the street."

"We arrived a few days early, and we will wait for the opening." He put the bag on the bedside table, looked at his male protagonist, and said with a smile: "Actually, I really hope that Xiao Zhou can also come together." ”

Lou Ye dragged the pillow, leaned against his back, and continued: "From the day I filmed your first rival scene, I thought that I would definitely be able to see these two people standing on the stage shining brightly, and I would feel very honored. It's a pity that there is no Best Actor or Actress at this film festival, but don't worry, this is just the first stop. ”

Chu Qing tugged at the corners of her mouth, she was more afraid to talk to him, Tai Sven, tired of listening, and asked, "That, did Sister An send a copy?" ”

"Well, she has a lot more energy than I do."

Lou Ye didn't take off his shoes, folded his legs, put his feet on the side of the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered: "I'm not saying kind words, you and Xiao Zhou are indeed the most potential actors I've ever seen." This movie is not so much my work as the work of both of you, and your lives are beating in it......"

His voice became smaller and smaller, but the content became more and more ridiculous, Chu Qing was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Don't say that...... you said" As soon as he said a word, he heard a soft snoring sound over there, and immediately stopped his mouth and smiled helplessly.

got up and closed half of the curtains to cover the sky shining on Lou Ye, and lay back again, the head on his forehead scattered on his eyelids, a little itchy. His head has been long and he has never been used to it, but he can't cut it yet.

Chu Qing's hand rested on the back of his head, pursed his lips, and blew upward, again and again.

…………

Internationally, film festivals are generally divided into four categories, which are categories, not levels.

Like A-category film festivals, it is a competition type, and there is a special jury to evaluate the awards. In category B, the system is basically the same, the only difference is that it has a unique theme, such as the Busan Film Festival, which is only for Asian films.

Category C is non-competitive, while category D is for short films and documentaries.

Originally, there was no distinction between high and low, but due to the influence of the three major film festivals on the history of film festivals around the world, as well as the promotion of various commercial elements, people unconsciously replaced Class A with Class A.

At present, there are a total of 12 so-called A-level film festivals, and China's magic capital has also grabbed a spot, but it is still ten years before I really think of using it as a façade for cultural exchange.

The Rotterdam Film Festival, which belongs to category B, has the same theme as the city: freedom! Personality! Young! Real yàn!

Since the opening ceremony of 17 people in 1972, it has been rigidly rooted in the increasingly commercial film market with a peerless and independent attitude, uncompromising, against the mainstream, because the mainstream has standards. If there is a standard, it will erase the individuality.

Rotterdam's position, which has been held for decades, has never wavered. Its cool and domineering dragged did not bend high and low, but raised a banner of the spirit of the movie.

Because it's not just about building F1AG, it's really about doing things. In addition to vigorously supporting new directors, the film industry of the participating countries, especially those films that have no market and cannot enter the local theater line at all. It also provides an almost philanthropic funding platform.

Especially the more famous hard-working directors in China, from Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yuan, He Jianjun in the early days, to Jia Zhangke and Wang Bing, everyone has received its funding.

Even in 94, the "Seven Gentlemen Incident" made by a certain bureau was the direct result of their private participation in this film festival. It can be said that the Rotterdam Film Festival runs through almost the entire history of Chinese independent films.

January 23rd. Early morning.

The snow had fallen heavily for the first two days, but the road surface was dry and safe, and the early sun hid behind the clouds like broken cotton, showing off the glow.

Chu Qing's ability to adapt to the environment is very good. I have changed into sportswear, I am jogging, and I have a white breath from time to time. The hostel is right on the banks of the Maas River, and he is along the river. Rhythmically moving his legs, occasionally turning his head to glance at the ship still asleep.

The water looked cold, and slightly wrinkled waves harassed the embankment. The seabirds perched on the stone piers closed their eyes calmly. The nearby Wilhelmsberg cable-stayed bridge is clearly reflected on the water even without the help of the morning light.

This kind of scenery is completely different from the Suzhou Creek in the magic capital, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered the old green, dirty little river ditch.

He went all the way west, and on the way he actually met a few pedestrians, with the unrestrained roughness of the South American side, and their faces were strangely mixed with excitement and exhaustion. Probably for the opening of today's film festival, I can't sleep, I get up early in the morning, but I have the virtue of doing nothing.

With the help of the translator, Chu Qing got to know the area, and his destination was the market near the city hall. It's the largest market in the Netherlands, once a week, and it's the day of the day.

It's hard to go abroad, of course you have to buy some gifts, although the film festival has ten days, but this thing is too unreliable, maybe after your film is played, you will roll up and go home?

When I arrived, there was a street about 500 meters long, with stalls on both sides, and many vendors had already opened to welcome customers. Someone preceded him, and a group of unidentified fellows were wandering around the room, babbling bird language.

This is similar to the scene of the villagers rushing to the morning market, very kind, Chu Qing pretended to be presentable, looking at those exquisite wooden shoes and pottery, and from time to time said: "homunetbsp; He is not pretending, he really has money in his pocket, and he doesn't have to pay for the tour like in Berlin. Because he didn't know what the price level was here, he and Fan Xiaoye were distressed for a long time, and after thinking about it, they exchanged two thousand guilders.

Originally, this product wanted to be tall and big, and exchange it for some euros to spend, but later retreated under the stupid eyes of the bank lady.

He has no experience in picking gifts, his standard is not good-looking, but easy to take. He'd be holding a wheel-like milky solid, and if it weren't for the obvious unique smell of this thing, it would have been a Dutch butt mat.

The stall owner looked at him confused, and neatly dragged a round cake, cut a small piece with a knife, and handed it to him.

Chu Qing hesitated, took a small bite, and tried to maintain a polite expression to taste. It's a little soft, a little salty, a little nutty, but the hardest thing to bear is the milky smell, which is as thick as malt milk mixed with high Lego.

Everyone cut it, and they were embarrassed not to buy it, so this product held the ** cheese that was missing a corner, and was frightened, for fear that a mouse named Jerry would come out.

After shopping all morning, the so-called specialties are actually no different, and finally I picked out a pair of plus-size wooden shoes.

Uh, my girlfriend's feet are fatter......

When I returned, the sun had already risen, shining on the large glass windows of the buildings on the shore, and spread out again, entangled with the sparkling light on the water, and it was especially cheerful to see it in winter. The city also seems to be less cold and warmer.

After breakfast at the hotel, the four of them walked to the main theater of the opening ceremony.

The film festival is highly concentrated, whether it is a hotel or a cinema, the distance between any two points is only a 15-minute walk.

As Chu Qing walked, he felt that there were more and more people traveling with him. From all kinds of strange building doors, one or two, three or four, seven or eight, gradually gathered on one road.

Different countries, different faces, laughing, chatting, the crowd slowly divided into a small handful, and the common topic brought them closer. Chu Qing also kept waving to the people next to him, and didn't speak, because their speech was very fast and their accents were quite strange, and all he could understand was the word "fi1m".

The atmosphere is actually a little quiet, with small whispers and friendly greetings, which is really different from Berlin. There are no luxury cars, no big stars, no blinding shots, no crying and shouting brainless fans...... Some are just movie buffs, filmmakers, and their vision, taste, and irreplaceable love.

When you are the only one who persists, you will be depressed and depressed. When you suddenly appear, it turns out that there are so many companions struggling together, the ethereal ideal in front of you will instantly become solid, and even within reach.

Although Chu Qing didn't feel that he was insisting on something, and he hadn't reached that tragic realm yet, it didn't prevent him from treating these people as companions.

In front of him, behind him, on the left and on the right, everyone doesn't know each other, but the road points in the same direction.

A sense of piety burst out in their hearts, and spread over themselves, multiplying and multiplying blessings into a fanatical force field.

It's actually a small area, less than a tenth of Rotterdam's, but it's a tenth of a day that ignites the entire glacial lake. (To be continued......)
