Chapter 138: Digging a Pit [Third Update]

Before coming to Berlin, Zhang Mu was informed that the Berlin Film Festival would be held from March 5th to March 15th.

Among them, in addition to the film screenings in the main competition unit, there are many small awards in the non-main competition unit, and film screenings will also be arranged.

In addition, no matter how lonely Berlin is among the three, it is still one of the three international film trading platforms.

That's why every year when the festival is held, producers from all over the world hold a cocktail party near the Palais du Cinémath.

As a result, these short ten days were almost crowded with various activities.

Whether Zhang Mu and others want to watch movies or participate in exchange activities between various filmmakers, they don't have to worry about having no choice.

……

March 5, 6:30 p.m.

Under the watchful eye, the 56th Berlin International Film Festival has finally begun.

Fortunately for many participating filmmakers, before they were about to start walking the red carpet, the original sparse light snow finally stopped, so that everyone would not walk the red carpet with umbrellas.

According to the organizer's arrangement, the crew of "Search" will start walking the red carpet in the middle of the period, so Zhang Mu still has time to watch the excitement.

After looking around for a week, Zhang Mu had to admit that in terms of popularity and business atmosphere, Berlin is indeed not as good as Cannes.

There are almost no famous international movie stars on the red carpet, and the only one who is barely a big name is Hollywood actor Sigourney Weaver.

Zhang Mu secretly guessed in her heart that if it weren't for the fact that she was the heroine of the opening film "Snow Cake", it is estimated that she would be like George Clooney, even if she came to Berlin, she would not appear on the red carpet again.

Because this is Hollywood's response to Berlin's boycott of it.

As for the opening film "Snow Cake", Zhang Mu had a general understanding of the content yesterday and watched some clips.

How to say it! Well, this is a standard Oscar-formatted literary film.

The film is about the unique friendship between a woman with autism and another man who was seriously injured in a car accident.

Well! Very literary, very standard of literature and art.

It's just a little flaw - not distracted.

Anyway, Zhang Mu didn't realize the feelings that the director wanted to express from it, so he could only say that he was blind to these good actors.

However, this is also a common routine for Hollywood movies to rush for awards.

Very few of them won the Oscar because the movie itself was good enough.

But there is also a part of it that won the Oscar for some reason, so that it is regarded as a good movie.

Soon after, the opening ceremony began in the presence of the festival's president, Diette Koslick, and the competition's jury, Charlotte Ramplin.

The first to walk the red carpet were the members of the jury.

As a stick actor, Lee Young-ae appeared in a traditional national costume this time.

Regardless of whether it looks good or not, Zhang Mu appreciates her actions anyway.

Just when Zhang Mu was watching the excitement in the car, it was finally their turn.

……

As the limousine slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, Zhang Mu first stepped out of the car.

In addition to Zhang Mu and Chen Daoming, only Wan Qian, Yuan Quan, and Little Fairy came with the search crew.

Yan Danchen is filming "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern", so he can only regret his absence.

As for Aunt Jiang Wenli......

Ahem~ I heard! It is said that there is an awkward quarrel at home, and he is looking for someone in the circle to block someone.

Anyway, this matter has made a big fuss in the circle, even a person like Zhang Mu who is clean and self-conscious, he can't help but listen to an ear of gossip.

When Zhang Mu and Chen Daoming got out of the car, before the two of them opened the back door, they saw Wan Qian, Yuan Quan, Little Fairy and others getting out of the car by themselves.

Seeing that the three of them were wearing red, blue, and white women's suits, Zhang Mu couldn't help but smile and exclaimed:

"You're smart, and it's warm to look at!"

When the little fairy heard this, she immediately raised her chin proudly and smiled:

"That's it! I don't see who thought of it! ”

So when Zhang Mu and his entourage walked on the red carpet, the media reporters on both sides saw three heroic ladies walking behind.

And Zhang Mu and Chen Daoming, who were wearing standard men's suits in front, seemed to have become bodyguards to open the way.

This dazzling scene immediately attracted the lenses of countless media reporters.

For a while, shouts in various languages sounded one after another, and in order to cooperate with the three handsome ladies in the back, Zhang Mu and Chen Daoming could only leisurely walk in front.

But then again, Wan Qian, Yuan Quan, and the little fairy's suits do have a unique charm.

Compared with the three of them, a group of actresses who used to sell meat with the cold suddenly became a group of vulgar fans.

However, no matter how slow they went, they eventually made it to the media area.

Faced with questions from reporters from various countries, before walking the red carpet, most reporters' attention was on director Zhang Mu.

After all, with the two movies "The Tuner" and "Super Body", he can be regarded as a wave of international popularity.

However, when several people entered the media interview area, although Zhang Mu was asked some questions by the media, most of the reporters focused on the three little fairies.

For a while, the problems of various languages were thrown like machine guns, which made the three beauties in suits a little flustered.

But fortunately, Wan Qian and Yuan Quan often go abroad to participate in drama shows. Even the youngest fairy experienced a baptism at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

So soon, under the cover of each other, the three of them were able to deal with reporters from all walks of life.

As for Zhang Mu and Chen Daoming, they have become ruthless human flesh background boards.

Seeing this situation, the two didn't care, but were happy.

In the crowd, I saw a reporter from the United States raising his hand and shouting at Wan Qian:

"Miss Wan, are you feminists?"

Although it was a little sudden, Wan Qian quickly responded wittily:

"Well, I support all reasonable feminist behavior."

But before she could recover herself, the reporter immediately continued:

"Do you want to win the Teddy Bear Award?"

Wan Qian didn't see the reporter's intentions for a while, but just as she opened her mouth to answer, the little fairy who reacted immediately pinched her back in the back, and then immediately said:

"We respect the jury's choice, as for the attribution of the award, it is not up to us to decide!"

Zhang Mu saw that the time was almost up, so he simply withdrew.

Because several people were not interested in the opening film, they immediately decided to change their clothes in the villa before going out to shop.

On the way back, seeing that Wan Qian was still a little confused, Zhang Mu immediately explained with a smile:

"Although the Teddy Bear Award was established by the Berlin Film Festival, it is actually related to the gay movement in the United States.

In the late '70s, the first generation of gay activists in the United States wanted a way to let others know that they were gay.

So it was decided that everyone should hang a teddy bear on their backpack as a way to identify themselves.

I also want to let people in other gay groups know that they are not alone. Therefore, the teddy bear has a special meaning on some occasions.

The Teddy Bear Award has been in place since 1987 and has been awarded for 20 years so far this year. ”

After that, in Wan Qian's somewhat dull eyes, the corners of Zhang Mu's mouth curled slightly and said:

"If you just expressed your desire to win the Teddy Bear Award, then the previous reporter from the United States would probably describe the three of you as homosexuals in the report."

"Well, maybe it's a deliberate misleading relationship between the three of you."

Seeing Zhang Mu say this, the little fairy who was not embarrassed to explain before nodded with a little blush.

As for Wan Qian, after a dry howl, she buried herself in Yuanquan's arms with a red face, and she was simply faceless.

Zhang Mu was really envious of this move.

After all, this is the root of the three hundred contracts that are one level higher than Di Lian.
