In Berlin in February, the temperature is not high, the sun is clearly hanging in the sky, but the temperature is only about 0 degrees.

When Lin Nan and his party walked out of the airport, they could clearly feel that the air was unusually dry.

Because the oncoming wind is really a bit like a knife, and the skin of the person who scrapes it hurts.

"Sissi, wear a mask."

Lin Nan told Liu Yifei beside him, who was already fully armed, with a big mask to protect his face, his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and his hood turned up.

"Lin Nan, over there." Liu Yifei called softly.

Following the direction indicated by Miss Liu, Lin Nan saw the organizing committee convoy holding a pick-up sign, and Tom was also on the side.

"Tom."

"Lin?"

Tom, who was chatting with someone, looked over when he heard the sound, and his face instantly showed joy.

He snorted at the visible heat and trotted over. Because of the reason for wearing a down jacket, it looks even more bloated.

"Lin, Crystal, you don't need me to arrange a car to pick up the airport today, the organizers of the film festival have arranged it, yes."

As he spoke, Tom also pointed to the staff members who were following behind him.

"Lin, welcome back to the Berlinale According to the arrangement, you will stay at the Victory Palace Hotel. Are you ready to go now? ”

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, and then nodded to the foreigner in front of him, "Well, then let's go to the hotel." ”

A group of ten people, plus Tom and three others, used six cars to drive all the way from the airport to the Tagore Berlin Victory Palace Hotel.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the back seat, Tom sat in the co-pilot, and the three of them shared a Mercedes-Benz.

On the way, Tom began to talk about the official arrangements of the festival.

"The morning after tomorrow, the Berlinale officially opened. "Manchester by the Sea" will have its world premiere at nine o'clock as the opening film.

Lin, as required, you must be present for the premiere. At that time, a large number of filmmakers, directors, and actors will come. Because of the opening ceremony movie, it has such an influence. ”

To be honest, Lin Nan was also enjoying this kind of treatment for the first time, and he was really a little flattered for a while.

But at the same time, it also means that even if "Manchester by the Sea" does not win the grand prize, its rights will definitely sell for a high price.

Because the three major opening ceremony films in Europe are so special, they represent an honor and strength, not to mention the opening ceremony films that have been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

"I see, do you have to get up early then?"

While Lin Nan was laughing, he also glanced at Liu Yifei beside him, and was punched fiercely.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at its destination.

Although the Tagore Berlin Victory Palace Hotel is not a five-star hotel, it has a long history and has stayed with many Golden Bear directors.

Lin Nan still remembers that when he came with "Buried Alive" that year, Wang Quanan and Yu Nan lived here, which was also arranged by the Organizing Committee of the Berlin International Film Festival!

"Director Jiang, they all seem to be staying at the Hilton Hotel, not far from here."

In the room, Liu Yifei took Lin Nan and her mobile phone, looking at text messages and social software messages, all of which were sent by insiders who had already arrived in Berlin.

"Idle is idle, after lunch, let's dress warmly and go to the exhibition area?"

Lin Nan proposed, mainly because it was really boring.

For a director, isn't the fun of film festivals just binge-watching? It's also interesting to screen targets in advance.

"Okay." Liu Yifei agreed.

……

Although the opening ceremony of the film festival is the day after tomorrow, the Berlin Film Festival, which is one of the three major film festivals in Europe, has the attributes of the global film rights trading market, which can not be affected by the opening and closing ceremonies.

The large number of participating films is often in place a week before the opening ceremony, and it only begins to slowly end a week after the closing ceremony.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went out together, with two assistants, two bodyguards and Tom.

The huge poster of "Manchester by the Sea" occupies the largest advertising position outside the exhibition area.

From a distance, you can see Leonardo's decadent, dead, and extremely mournful face, as well as his numb eyes like a walking corpse, which are extremely conspicuous.

Many tourists, film dealers and filmmakers will stop and stare at each other, and then walk into the endless film exhibition area with curiosity.

"Cinderella?"

Not long after walking into the zone, Liu Yifei shouted in surprise as if she had discovered a new world.

Crystal, the Disney princess series of live-action films "Cinderella", will also have its world premiere during the festival. I heard that they intend to release it simultaneously in the North American and Chinese markets. ”

Tom, a conscientious dog, said the first time.

"Premiere? Simultaneous release? ”

As soon as Lin Nan finished muttering, he was pulled by Liu Yifei to the exhibition area of the live-action movie "Cinderella".

"Cate Blanchett, the 'Great Devil', plays Cinderella's stepmother...... This lineup is indeed not small. ”

Director Lin Da commented, the shape of the "Big Demon King" is also very sassy!

"Lin Nan, after the opening ceremony, let's go watch this movie, shall we?"

Liu Yifei looked back at Lin Nan, her eyes were shining, and she was looking forward to it.

"Can you give me two tickets?"

Lin Nan spoke directly to the people in the "Cinderella" exhibition area.

"Of course you can, Director Lin Nan."

Good guy, several people were a little confused in an instant, could it be that they still knew each other?

Maybe he saw the surprise of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and the other party said with a smile:

"When Crystal Liu dubbed "Frozen" at the headquarters, we met, director Lin Nan. And you just won a Golden Globe in Hollywood. ”

Well, Lin Nan's memory is not as good as the other party's.

Liu Yifei has happily accepted the movie admission ticket: "Thank you." ”

Under normal circumstances, the premiere films at the festival will only be offered tickets after the opening ceremony. can be given in advance, and there is indeed an ingredient of Lin Nan's "face brushing".

A few people went all the way around the exhibition area, there are really a lot of blockbusters, and those few domestic movies can also be seen.

Among them, the one that has attracted the most attention is the "Wolf Totem", because the director is the director of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Manchester by the Sea" can be said to be overcrowded.

Lin Nan's appeal also includes Leonardo, Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and the four Golden Globe Awards and 6 Oscar nominations just won, all of which add up to make this movie unremarkable.

"Hey, Crystal, guess what I just came up with?"

Suddenly, Tom howled with excitement on his face.

Lin Nan was taken aback by this guy and looked at him with disdain.

"What? Tom. ”

Liu Yifei was a little confused, and she didn't know what Tom wanted to say.

"Crystal, I just thought that one of Disney's princess series seems to be Oriental? Haven't they been developing live-action films all these years? Perhaps, you have a chance? ”

Tom, this dogleg, is really a qualified dogleg.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Yifei to react, he looked at Lin Nan again, "Lin, you have to work hard!" You're backed by Crystal......"

Liu Yifei was directly amused, holding Lin Nan's arm and laughing so much that she couldn't stop laughing, forgetting the big cake that Tom drew in his last sentence.

"In your last life, you were designated as a dog, and you were also a horse breeder, so you didn't say anything about the horse's ass!" Lin Nan couldn't help but complain.
