Chapter 125: film festival begins
When the shooting of Xu Zimian and the three people was getting better, the Berlin International Film Festival also opened grandly.
Xu Cheng arrived in Berlin two days ahead of schedule with the hero and heroine to participate in the film festival.
Xia Xuan made a stunning appearance in a champagne-colored dress with a cheongsam style.
Director Xu Cheng and actor Zhou Yehe, who were uniformly wearing dark gray suits, turned into left and right guardians and walked on both sides of Xia Xuan.
The viewers who are watching the live broadcast are excitedly posting a barrage.
"Ah ah ah!! The queen is so beautiful!! The aura is absolutely incredible!"
"Emperor Zhou is so handsome today, the older he gets, the more charming he is!"
"Hahahaha! Be careful not to be heard by Zhou Yingdi."
"The funniest thing is that you all pay attention to the position of the actor Zhou, and you feel that you are almost half a meter behind the two."
"Hahaha!! Emperor Zhou said that I would refuse to be a light bulb."
"By the way, can I win an award this year? The last time Hua Guo won the Golden Bear Award was 16 years ago, right?"
"Golden Bear Award... I can't even imagine that if I can get back a Silver Bear Award, I can be crazy with joy."
"Xu Cheng has already exhausted his talents, and still has the Silver Bear Award? I advise the fans of the three not to rush to hold the prize too high, and then return home in despair, but it will be laughable and generous."
"It's you again! Climb for my father!"
"Winning an award at an international film festival is an honor for all of us. You still come to step on at this critical moment. Are you here to recruit blackmail?"
"Pure passers-by support the upstairs. This year, Huaguo finally has a shortlisted film, and I hope to win the Silver Bear Award."
"Hehe, that's my family's missed time, otherwise where would Xu Cheng be?"
"Do you still want to be shortlisted for that film of yours? Director Liu has this ability. He has been making films for decades, how come he has never been shortlisted."
No matter how hot the domestic online quarrel is, the three Xu Cheng started their long and short two weeks in Berlin.
In the first few days, hardly anyone came to see Distant Voices.
Compared with Xu Cheng, who is unknown in the world, they are more willing to watch the works of well-known directors first.
For example, Kennedy Woolley, the famous American director, participated in the film festival with "Seven Days of Begging" this time.
"Seven Days of Begging" is a gray and humorous film about a wealthy man who wakes up and finds that he has nothing.
The rhythm of the whole movie is tight, and when the audience can't help laughing, they will not ignore the innuendo in the play.
In a humorous way, the dark times of the financial crisis are portrayed.
Another example is Rika Shimazu, the famous director of Sakura Country, who brought the work "Blood Sakura" this year.
Iwase Majun, who plays the heroine, is the national goddess of Sakura Country. His penetrating acting skills can easily arouse people's emotions.
The heroine in "Blood Sakura" is a geisha living in the middle of the eighteenth century.
In the corner of her right eye, there is a red cherry blossom, which is said to have been there when she was born.
This **** cherry blossom reflects the heroine's legendary and miserable life.
A person as hard-hearted as Xu Cheng, after watching "Blood Cherry Blossom", his eyes were also moist.
In addition to these two films, "The Undead" brought by the famous director Leo Watson of Iris Kingdom is also a strong contender for this year's Golden Bear Award.
The three films were crowded on the day the festival started.
On the fifth day, a woman in a beige suit appeared in the screening room of "Distant Voices".
Her name is Samantha Alsop and she is the chair of the jury.
Originally, I just entered a screening room casually, but I was completely attracted by the melodious music that sounded at the beginning.
When the petite girl appeared on the big screen, she suddenly realized that this is a Chinese movie.
Under Xu Zimian's cute appearance and smart acting skills, Samantha Alsop watched patiently.
As the story progressed, the familiar and pleasant singing sounded from time to time, and Samantha Alsop was completely fascinated.
When the ending song slowly sounded, she came back to her senses.
Since Samantha Alsop, more and more people have come to see Distant Voices.
The day before the announcement of the winners, Xu Jinming came to Berlin with his baby sister.
As soon as he came out of the airport, Xu Zimian was picked up by Xu Cheng, with a stubble chin, rubbing against her daughter's tender face.
Xu Zimian giggled and reached out to touch her father's stubble, "Dad, how many days have you not shaved?"
Xu Cheng asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xu Zimian shook his head, "It's a little itchy."
"Hahahaha!" Xu Cheng laughed heartily, "Dad misses Little Cotton so much, this beard came out spontaneously."
"You have to give it a good scratch tomorrow morning, otherwise Dad won't be handsome when he takes the stage to accept the award."
"Okay! Listen to my little princess!"
As soon as Xu Cheng put down the little cotton, Xu Zimian rushed into Xia Xuan's arms, "Mom, I miss you so much!"
Xia Xuan hugged her baby girl back and kissed her daughter's forehead, "Is filming going well in the US?"
Xu Zimian nodded, "Yes! Uncle Carl has taught me a lot, and Lilina and Daniel are very easy to get along with."
Zhou Yehe bent down and asked with a smile, "Little Cotton, do you remember me?"
As he said, he took off the peaked cap he was wearing, turned his slender hand over, made a bunch of flowers from the cap, and handed it to Little Cotton.
Xu Zimian happily took the bouquet and found that every flower inside was actually a lollipop!
Xu Zimian's eyes lit up and looked at Zhou Yehe's hat curiously, "Uncle Zhou really should be a magician."
"Thank you, Little Cotton for your compliment." Zhou Yehe put on his hat again and blinked his right eye mischievously, "Unfortunately, my hobby is acting."
The next day, half an hour before the awards ceremony of the Berlin International Film Festival, Director Liu posted a Weibo.
[Movie Xia Ying Xia Xia Xia V: "Xia Ying Xia Xia Xia Xia" is officially finalized! See you on February 28th! 】
"I'm so excited!! Finally a movie to watch is coming!"
"I'm already hungry and thirsty, Director Liu, please bring the movie!"
"I've watched several bad movies, and I hope Director Liu's movies can help me wash my eyes."
"Baby Xinyi's movie, I want to swipe it five times to support it!"
"Does Director Liu only rub against hot spots? He also specifically stares at Director Xu?"
"Although I'm looking forward to "Xia Ying Xia Xia Xia", Director Liu's several waves of operations are quite annoying. To be honest, he is really strong, so there is no need to rub it."
"Who did it? No one really thinks that Xu Cheng's broken movie will win an award, right?"
"Look at this year's shortlist, Kennedy Woolley, Shimadzu Rika, Leo Watson, which one doesn't beat Xu Cheng?"
"On this lineup of gods fighting, only fools pay attention to the Berlin International Film Festival!"
