In the early morning of February 5, Berlin time, the Huaxia Army arrived at Berlin International Airport.

This time, the Huaxia Legion went to Berlin, and China Film was arrogant and rented a floor at the Grand Hyatt Berlin for everyone to use.

Grand Hyatt Berlin is located in a famous tourist area, with good scenery and convenient transportation, and is very close to the venue of the Berlin Film Festival, which is the first choice for many international superstars.

What is the most important feature of Berlin, or Germany?

On the first day he came to Berlin, Wu Yuan experienced it.

Sausages are really much.

An authentic local dinner, in addition to the signature crispy pork knuckle with sauerkraut, is left with a variety of sausages, each with a different taste.

Anyway, for carnivore Wu Yuan, this kind of diet is still quite a novel experience.

and the crew members tasted a German-style dinner with satisfaction, and slept well to reverse jet lag.

Early the next morning, Wu Yuan got up to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival.

The two crews like "Big Names" and "Flower Eyes" did not receive an invitation to the red carpet of the opening ceremony, but they could enjoy life in Berlin at will.

But the crew of "The Undertaker", "Happy Times" and Xu Anhua's "Man Forty" are about to get up early in the morning to do makeup.

In a suite on the same floor of the hotel that served as a temporary dressing room, Wu Yuan also met director Xu Anhua and the actors of the crew of "Man Forty".

Director Xu Anhua is a very powerful female director, her "Half Life", "A Thousand Words" and "Man Forty" are all very good, and she has also been shortlisted for the main competition unit in Berlin.

However, Wu Yuan prefers her future "Sister Peach", and she can be regarded as the last literary film director in the era of Hong Kong films.

It's just that after seeing the real person, he obviously found that this director is not easy to get along with, at least not the kind of director who is willing to chat with other people, and is very taciturn.

However, Zhang Guorong and the actors of "Man Forty" quickly got together.

The heroine of this movie is Sister Mei, and the male protagonist is also an acquaintance, Zhang Guorong is like a fish in water between them.

And Mr. Li Xuejian of the crew of "The Undertaker" and the actors of the crew of "Happy Times" directed by Yimou also mingled.

He is not only the second male in "The Undertaker", but also the second male in "Happy Times", and he can even walk the red carpet twice during the opening ceremony!

It can be seen how narrow the circle of top Chinese actors is, most of them are familiar with each other and have worked together, and even starred in several movies at the same time.

In this way, the members of the three crews chatted and made makeup, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Wu Yuan also made a new hairstyle under the arrangement of the stylist, changed into a pure black suit, and the stylist also put a golden handkerchief in the pocket of the suit jacket as an embellishment.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the three crews who had done the makeup got into the courtesy car and set off for the movie palace under the arrangement of the film festival organizing committee.

This year's Berlin International Film Festival is different from previous years, the top department attaches great importance to it, and has prepared a press corps to go to Berlin in advance.

Wu Yuan no longer has to encounter the embarrassment of no one knowing him at the opening ceremony like he did last time he participated in the Sitges Film Festival.

As soon as the courtesy car arrived outside the movie palace, as soon as the car door was opened, Wu Yuan's ears were filled with familiar Chinese.

"Director Wu, look here!"

"Director Wu, what do you think about being selected for the main competition unit of this Berlin International Film Festival?"

"Director Wu, laugh one!"

"Director Wu, when will "The Undertaker" be released in China!"

"Director Wu, for this Berlin Film Festival, which film are you most optimistic about winning the Golden Bear, is it your own "The Undertaker"?"

Seeing Wu Yuan's domestic reporters, that's called an excitement!

There's no way, Wu Yuan is too low-key, and he doesn't accept any public interviews, and it's difficult for everyone to interview him in China.

Now that I finally have a public event to meet him, I have to catch and have fun!

Wu Yuan also understood the thoughts of domestic reporters, grabbed Zhang Guorong, who was one step behind him, and walked to the mainland reporters to accept the interview.

"Well, since I can be selected for the main competition, then of course I hope to win the award."

"Guorong's performance also deserves a Best Actor!"

"If it is released in China, it should be after the Spring Festival."

"If you are at the box office, there is no too high luxury, so leave it to the audience."

After getting some responses from Wu Yuan's mouth, the reporters did not let Zhang Guorong go, and turned the gun on him.

"Mr. Zhang Guorong, how do you feel about coming to Berlin for the first time?"

"Director Wu said that your performance in the movie deserves a best actor, what do you think?"

"What is the difference between the styles of Director Wu and Director Wang, and which director's shooting method do you prefer?"

Compared with Wu Yuan, Zhang Guorong is too professional in dealing with reporters, no matter whether every question is sharp or not, he can answer it smoothly without leakage, no one can be offended, and at the same time, he can boast a lot.

What Director Wang's lens is beautiful, Director Wu's composition is good, Director Wang's artistic conception, Director Wu's emphasis on the plot and other evaluations are endless, the summary is one sentence, the two directors are very good, but I am not worthy.

Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong were interviewed, and the lively appearance of mainland reporters quickly attracted the attention of other reporters on both sides of the red carpet.

Every year, at least 2-3,000 journalists from all over the world rush to the Berlin International Film Festival, and there are countless reporters who know about Hollywood.

Wu Yuan is not just a Chinese director, he is also famous in Haolaiwu now, and he is popular in the director circle!

Soon, many reporters from North America and Europe noticed Wu Yuan and immediately surrounded him.

"Daniel, congratulations on being selected for this year's Berlin International Film Festival!"

"Daniel, will you be coming back to Hollywood next year to make a movie?"

"There are rumors that Disney is interested in inviting you to direct their A-list blockbuster project next year, is this rumor true?"

"Director Wu, "Juno" has won multiple Oscar outpost awards, and many authoritative media in Hollywood predict that "Juno" will be shortlisted for multiple Oscar awards, will you attend then?"

"Daniel, "Juno" has accumulated $210 million at the global box office, and there are rumors that Fox Searchlight is going to set up a sequel, or did you personally write the script?"

Not only mainland reporters, but also European and American reporters have fewer opportunities to meet Wu Yuan!

After this guy finished filming "Juno", he patted his ass and returned to China, and he didn't attend any of the major Oscar outpost awards in North America from December to January, and concentrated on cutting films in Beijing.

"Juno" won the Best Musical/Comedy Film Award and the Best Musical/Comedy Actress Award at the Golden Satellite Awards.

It won the Best Comedy Award at the American Film Critics' Choice Awards, the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Writers Guild of America Awards, and was nominated for several Golden Globe Awards.

But Wu Yuan didn't show up any of them, and all the other main creators of the crew went to participate and received them on their behalf.

It can be said that it is almost a sure thing that "Juno" will be shortlisted for the Oscars, but entertainment reporters in North America don't know much about Wu Yuan, and they can't even do interviews!

Now that I have finally caught the living and talking Wu Yuan, I have to hurry up and take enough photos to satisfy my desire for an interview!

Half an hour later, via the Internet, the relevant reports were sent back to China and North America.

[The crew of "The Undertaker" appeared at the Berlin International Film Festival, and director Wu Yuan dressed up to attend the opening ceremony! ] 】

[Wu Yuan, the youngest director shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival, appeared at the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival! ] 】

The domestic media is quite subtle, and they are all very formal headlines.

It's not the same over there.

[Huaxia Wu made a high-profile appearance at the Berlin International Film Festival and was sought after by thousands of media reporters on the scene! ] 】

[After "Juno", Daniel Wu can break the record of the youngest award-winning director in Berlin?! 】

[The $200 million box office director was shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival, and he wanted both the box office and the awards! ] 】

[Halle Berry boldly showed her love for Daniel wu at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, and I look forward to working with him!] 】

Although the headlines of the news reports on both sides of the ocean are different, they all use the same picture.

It was a photo of Wu Yuan with his arms outstretched, a thumbs up, standing on the red carpet and smiling confidently at the camera.

If it weren't for the special introduction on the photo, the audience who saw the report would really find it hard to believe that this tall, stylish, young and handsome young man is actually a director, not an actor.

Oh, and the last time he came to the Berlin International Film Festival, he did come as an actor.

All in all, at the beginning of 2002, Wu Yuan made headlines in the film circles of China and the United States!
