Chapter 209: The Premiere in Potsdam

On the opening day of the film festival, "The Thief Family" premiered at 10 a.m. at Potsdamer Platz.

Takeshi Kitano complained a little: "It seems a little unlucky to put a Japanese film on Potsdamer Platz. ”

In four or five years, Germany surrendered, and Japan returned the favor, and China, the United States, and Britain issued a proclamation in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, urging the little devils to surrender unconditionally.

The little devils don't listen to it, they don't listen to it, so the big brother in the United States sent them warmth twice, and since then, the three words Potsdam have been like a magic nightmare to the Japanese, as long as they worship ghosts, China will mention it.

In this case, Potsdam should be a blessed land for Su Changqing.

The so-called premiere is very simple, there is no red carpet, all the main creative staff such as Takeshi Kitano and Su Changqing lined up in two rows at the entrance of the theater, and the media took photos with a burst of flash, without even a question session, and then the audience was opened.

This can't be helped, many movies are premiered here, and the organizers of the two hundred premieres can't show up, and they want to roll out the red carpet and make a pomp, but there is no door.

In addition, the film festival is also an order fair, and a large number of filmmakers will come here to watch and select films, and they don't have the time and patience to participate in red tape, so they may not watch or buy if they are annoyed.

When he arrived at the scene, Su Changqing's biggest feeling was that there were many people, and movie lovers from all over Europe gathered in a few blocks in Germany, and those who didn't know thought that a football match was going to be held here.

Another feeling is that it is cold, the temperature in Berlin in February is basically below zero, Su Changqing only wears a suit and bow tie, although there is heating in the mall, he still feels cold.

Melulan Dora arrived at half-past nine, wearing a dark red coat over her beige suit, which really matched the name Merlan.

Su Changqing introduced her to Takeshi Kitano, but did not mention that she was an American: "This is Mei Lan, my distant relative in Germany. ”

Seeing Su Changqing and Melulan Dora talking in Chinese, Takeshi Kitano was a little confused after shaking hands: "Are you kidding?"

"It's not a joke, it's really a bit of a blood relationship, and I can't tell how much. ”

"I think it's just a joke, it seems that through six people, the two of us can also get involved. ”

It is a social relationship that is involved through six people, and this claim has not been universally verified.

"You don't have to go through others, I'll just call you big brother. ”

"Bastard, I'm an elder. ”

Meluran Dora couldn't understand Japanese, so she smiled and nodded gracefully.

Takecai Kitano didn't care who Meluran Dora was, and after the simple premiere, as is customary, all the main creators accompanied the audience to watch the first movie.

The films in the main competition unit have been screened, and the attention is relatively high, and the screening hall is full.

It was very quiet during the screening, after all, there were few ordinary audiences, and most of them were watched by peers, or film companies watching and selecting films, even if someone said something, Su Changqing couldn't understand it.

At the beginning of the screening, Melulan Dora naturally held Su Changqing's hand, and then chose a comfortable position, leaning half of her body against him.

Su Changqing and Takeshi Kitano glanced at each other.

Su Changqing: "I've been used to it since I was a child. ”

"You can see it. ”

Maybe exchanging phone numbers and making phone porridge really has a special meaning for American girls, Su Changqing didn't expect Melulan Dora to change so quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have been invited last night.

Takeshi Kitano knew about his relationship with Harumi Harumi, and Su Changqing had a sense of embarrassment about picking up girls in front of his brother-in-law.

In fact, Su Changqing was helpless, he didn't soak a girl after he was reborn, he was a girl soaking him, and it basically happened in the movie theater in a very old-fashioned way, which can be regarded as dedication to his post.

Halfway through the movie, Melulan Dora said in Su Changqing's ear: "I like this movie very much. ”

The breath is hot, this movie is not an aphrodisiac, right?

At the end of the film screening, everyone gave a standing ovation, and the main creators bowed and thanked them.

The applause was very warm, and it could be seen that everyone was moved, but in the face of a few Asians, no one in the audience could say anything, and they looked at each other and stared at each other for a while, and then dispersed.

Kitano Takeshi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm freezing to death, I have to go back and take a hot shower." ”

Several Japanese people choked on the cold, and they went back to the hotel shivering.

Su Changqing was also very cold, but fortunately, Potsdamer Platz was a comprehensive shopping mall that integrated eating, drinking and playing, so he quickly found a men's clothing store and bought a suitable coat.

When going out in the morning, Su Changqing suggested that he bring a coat, and if it was inconvenient for the premiere, he could ask a special person to keep it, and put it on after the ceremony.

However, everyone was still misled by other European filmmakers who lived in the Lijing Hotel, and they were embarrassed to wear very little, and as a result, they froze into snot bubbles.

In order not to fall in front of the Japanese, Su Changqing didn't bring a coat, and on the way to Potsdamer Platz, he asked Takeshi Kitano: "I heard that you deliberately wore very few clothes when you were a child, exercising your will and body in the ice and snow, are you particularly not afraid of the cold?"

As a result, Takeshi Kitano glared at the boss: "Who said that? When I was young, I lacked medical treatment and medicine, and I would die of pneumonia from freezing, and the Japanese are not fools, how could they do such a thing on purpose?"

Su Changqing knew that the Rifu article was unreliable, but he was still not firm enough to oppose the mentally handicapped at the critical moment.

Of course, he could go back to the hotel to get his coat, but the distance was too far, and it was easy to cause misunderstanding when he took Melulan Dora back.

Su Changqing was not afraid that others would misunderstand, but was worried that Melulan Dora might misunderstand that she was taking her back to the subject.

This is a bit abrupt, if she feels offended, Su Changqing is very wronged.

If she doesn't feel offended, the relationship may be complicated, and if she can't meet her requirements emotionally in the future, it will directly affect her career development.

Melulan Dora was always excited after watching the movie, and pulled Su Changqing across a few streets into a Bavarian-style restaurant.

The waiters were all blonde, with two braids, wearing Bavarian aprons, with flushed cheeks, healthy and strong.

Melulan Dora ordered a beer, and then a large plate of pork knuckle sausages and other meats was served.

She told Su Changqing: "The position of the apron knot of these German girls is very mysterious, the bow tied on the left front side means single, tied on the right front side means that she is engaged or married, if it is tied in the middle it is single, if you like it, you can invite her to have a drink." ”

"I can't drink them. ”

Princess Sissi is a Bavarian girl, Su Changqing watched movies when she was a child, she is really beautiful, and the rest is forgotten.

The restaurant was very lively, and a few tables next door to the German Liangshan drank wine and ate meat in large chunks, Su Changqing had little appetite, so he could only fill the time with chatting.

Melulan Dora praised "Thief Family" as very touching and profound, and finally asked Su Changqing: "Why is such a good story written in Japanese society and directly made into a Chinese movie?"

Su Changqing took a few big sips of beer and shook his head: "It's not good, this story is only suitable for Japan." ”

"Why, it's a very touching story, and it's the same everywhere. ”

It is better not to talk about such issues in depth if the values are different, because it is basically impossible to talk about it, and it will also ruin the atmosphere.

Su Changqing slowly separated the meat from the pig's trotters: "I know Japanese society better, so it's the most appropriate place to put it." ”

He and Du Keke had also discussed this issue before, and remembered saying at the time: "I don't think this story is touching, but it is heartwarming." ”

Du Keke was also a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"The six people in the film live in a cramped room like ants, shivering in winter, sweating in summer, eating stolen food, using stolen shampoo, where is the warmth and touching?

Is it really warm that a female college student hugs and tears with customers in a custom shop, a habitual thief teaches a child to call him daddy, and everyone sits neatly under the eaves like a family looking up at the fireworks?

They live on an isolated island and are detached from the world, and the man who calls himself his father lies there and laughs: Our hearts are connected.

Is this the meaning of life?

The film does not have much social criticism, and tries to escape the problem through warmth, which is entirely a petty-bourgeois narrative perspective.

There may be worse situations in our country, but we should never incite such feelings to the people, let alone guide the people to get used to and love such stories, so I don't shoot them in China. ”

Du Keke gave Su Changqing an evaluation: "People are worried about the sky and pretend. ”

After eating two pig's trotters and drinking a large glass of beer, Melulan Dora's eyes brightened: "Do you have any arrangements for the afternoon?"
