When Chen Shishi and his entourage appeared, the entire first-class cabin suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.

It wasn't until Chen Daoming greeted the two of them and chatted a few words that the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

And Chen Shiren didn't seem to be affected by domestic film critics and public opinion, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood at the moment, and he whispered to Arthur's mother next to him from time to time.

Even so, Wan Qian and the others couldn't help but restrain their temperament and didn't dare to make too much noise.

However, to Zhang Mu's surprise, whether it was Feng Xiaogang or Chen Shishi, there seemed to be a trace of hostility in his eyes.

This made him wonder.

He has always been kind and helpful, how could he offend them?

After some hard thinking to no avail, Zhang Mu didn't bother to pay attention to this matter.

Anyway, whether it is "Night Banquet" or "Wuji" this time, I went to Berlin to sell films, and it has nothing to do with him.

Since everyone doesn't like each other, it's better to go their own way.

……

After ten hours of flying, when Zhang Mu, who was asleep, woke up again, the plane was ready to land.

When Zhang Mu got off the plane, he instantly felt a gust of cold wind coming from his face, so cold that he subconsciously shivered.

Berlin at 52°30′ north latitude is not so warm.

Cold, this is the first impression of Berlin on Zhang Mu.

Seeing this, Wan Qian couldn't help but laugh at once:

"I've reminded you that spring in Berlin is very cold, you just don't believe it, you deserve it!"

When Zhang Mu heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands with a smile and said:

"I believe it! But I just don't like to carry so many things with a big bag when I go out! ”

After that, he immediately pointed to the airport hall not far away and said with a smile:

"If you lack something, you can't buy it now!"

After saying that, he walked towards the gate in a hurry, after all, there was at least 3 degrees at the moment, and his thin leather jacket couldn't bear it.

So soon, the three crews parted ways.

When Zhang Mu walked out of the airport again, he was already wearing a black tweed coat, and he looked quite handsome.

……

As the saying goes: Berlin in February and March, Cannes in May, and Venice in August and September are both beautiful and moving.

Of the three major film festivals, Berlin is the oldest and the coldest in the world.

So walking the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival is a big test.

Zhang Mu couldn't help but think in his heart that the reason why Berlin is the least famous among the three is that it is difficult to say that there is no influence of climate.

After all, if there is a choice, who doesn't want to see bikini beauties on the warm sands of Cannes; Who is not like in the warm autumn sun, boating in Venice with beautiful women.

In this way, Zhang Mu complained while sitting in the car leisurely and slowly drove into Berlin.

Because during the film festival, it was difficult to find a hotel near the movie palace, so Zhang Mu didn't bother to care about what the price was.

When I met a private villa with a good environment and a not very outrageous price, I decided directly.

After settling the luggage, Jiang Wenli and Chen Daoming, the two old-timers, took care of themselves without Zhang Mu's advice.

And Wan Qian, the little fairy, and Yuan Quan, were lying on the balcony and looking outside with a curious face.

I saw that not far away, the Potsdam Square, where the Film Palace is located, was already hanging with all kinds of huge movie posters.

Except for a few beauties who felt familiar, most of the others he didn't know much.

However, Berlin has a strong local art scene.

Even though it's cold outside, you can still see a dense crowd of movie lovers and smiling shuttles near the Palais du Cinema.

Wan Qian and the others even found a few Hollywood stars, which caused several people to let out a burst of exclamation from time to time.

However, after admiring it, Zhang Mu called the three of them in and reminded:

"Are you ready for the red carpet dress? If you don't have it, hurry up, it's too late to take you to buy it now! ”

Different from the rules of the three gold medals in China, the Berlin Film Festival is very particular about details.

Like what men are not allowed to wear ties, unified as bow ties, not allowed to enter without a license, etc.

Even when walking the red carpet, the actors are not allowed to go to the Palais in their own cars.

What Zhang Mu appreciates most is the last point.

Because in this way, there will be no such bad thing as dragging the finale on the red carpet.

However, seeing Zhang Mu ask like this, after Wan Qian, Yuan Quan and the little fairy glanced at each other, they covered their mouths and chuckled:

"Don't worry, we're ready!"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu suddenly couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Oh? Can I take a look? ”

"Can't! This is a secret! ”

After that, the three beauties pushed Zhang Mu out of the door.

After being kicked out by the beauties, Zhang Mu was not annoyed, but walked downstairs with a leisurely face.

After all, he is also a literary and artistic young man in his bones, even if there is no film competition, he is very happy to participate in such film activities.

……

Soon, Zhang Mu was like an ordinary movie lover, without doing anything to hide, and just wandered around the square near the movie palace with great interest.

Although the festival has not officially started yet, the Marché du Film near the Palais du Cinema is already bustling with activity.

Film dealers from all over the world are picking and choosing in the film market just like they are looking for treasures in the antique market. Only when you meet a heart, will you ask two questions.

Although Zhang Mu didn't plan to buy a few batches of films, out of curiosity, he also mixed in and looked at a few stalls.

But after a while, he left a little disappointed.

He remembered seeing this sentence somewhere:

"There are only dozens of good movies produced in the world every year. As for the rest, they are just defective products. ”

He once thought that this sentence was too crazy, but after going through two film festivals, he had to admit that there was some truth in this statement.

So if anyone wants to be a director, they don't have to hide in the house all year round and watch movies.

If he had that kind of kung fu, it would be better to walk around all corners of the real world, which would be more helpful to his creation.

After wandering around the movie palace, when Zhang Mu returned to the villa again, Jiang Ming had already taken care of all the chores with his subordinates.

I saw him holding the document and replying in an orderly manner:

"Boss, this time the jury is chaired by British actress Charlotte Rampling, who is the president of the jury in the main competition.

The other seven judges were films from all over the world, with only the stick actor Lee Young-ae from Asia coming from Asia. ”

Hearing this name, Zhang Mu was stunned at first, and then remembered who she was.

Dachang Jin! Zhang's mother likes her daughter-in-law the most.

Then, I saw Jiang Ming continue:

"I just received a notice from the organizing committee that "Search" has been scheduled to be screened at the Palais du Cinema on Potsdamer Platz on the 10th!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu suddenly couldn't help but pick up the corner of his eye, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but show a smile.

There are several cinemas that show the competition films, most of which are located on Potsdamer Platz and Alexanderplatz.

The Palais du Cinema is located on the main square, Potsdamer Platz.

Although the Berlinale organizers claim that all films shortlisted for the main competition will be treated equally.

However, in terms of the arrangement of the screening venues for the film, we can still see their emphasis.

For the films they are optimistic about and think have the hope of winning the award, most of the organizers will arrange to be screened in the Film Palace. And those films that are not particularly optimistic are mostly arranged outside the Palais du Cinéma.

Although this preference has nothing to do with the final award, it still makes Zhang Mu happy.

At the very least, it's a good sign, isn't it?
