Chapter 781

The sound of the shutter gradually subsided, the flash gradually dissipated, and the scene of the press conference gradually revealed its original appearance. The conference hall, which can accommodate 300 people, was full and full of visitors; There are cameras in the central corridor and the open space on both sides, recording, and the busy figure fills the surrounding space without gaps; Behind the venue, there were a large number of staff standing in the crowd, with excited figures surging in the shadow of no light.

The room is always filled with a surging hot atmosphere, just like the morning sun falling down, filling the whole space.

This is the first press conference at 9 a.m. on the fifth day after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. The theme of the press conference is a small cost independent film. However, the press conference hall is crowded. Not only the seats in the conference hall are sold out early, but even the staff are eager to join in. It seems that the focus of the whole film festival has come together.

On top of this year's Berlin Film Festival, although Meryl Streep received the lifelong achievement award, the overall competition unit was silent and the stars were dim.

Among the finalists of the main competition are Christian pethord, who is considered to be the representative of the independent film movement "Berlin school" initiated by young German filmmakers, nikolaj arcel, who wrote the original script of "girl with Dragon Tattoo", MADS Mikkelson, the last superstar of Danish films, There are Diane Kruger, a model turned actor, and Alicia vikander and lea Seydoux, the new generation of actors

However, the influence of these filmmakers is only limited to the scope of Europe, even within the scope of Europe are far from being decisive figures. When it comes to directors, actors or screenwriters with worldwide fame and influence, even American actor Billy Bob Thornton is not considered. This famous Hollywood bad boy has limited influence on the world stage.

Perhaps Vittorio Taviani and his younger brother Paolo Taviani are the biggest winners of this year's Berlin Film Festival. These two brothers, who play an important role in the Italian film industry, won the Cannes Palme d'Or in 1977 and the Venice Lifetime Achievement Award in 1986, He is the representative of Italian Neo realism.

However, the two Taviani brothers, who are over 80 years old, are gradually entering the later years of their artistic career. It can be said that they are forced to rely on them to attract focus and create topics.

Looking at the shortlist of the whole main competition unit, Tony kayer and Langley Hall's "transcendence" is undoubtedly the most popular hot spot. The former, relying on the "American X-Files" 14 years ago, has gained a firm foothold in the European art circle; The latter, like a comet, has soared rapidly in the past two years and now deserves to be one of the leaders of the new generation.

In particular, lanli's "speed and passion 5", "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me" are enjoying high popularity all over the world; What's more, in this year's award season, with the excellent performance of two works, Langley has occupied a place. The list of Oscar nominations just announced is the best proof. There is no doubt that Langley has become the most popular topic maker at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

As a result, the "detached" press conference appeared such a grand occasion! The 300 press seats were not enough, the staff of the film festival were also involved, and the press conference at 9 a.m. was crowded.

Only top Hollywood stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt can enjoy such treatment; Such a grand occasion can't compare with Cannes, but it can be compared with Venice. It's rare to see it in Berlin, which is always cold and serious.

Even Tony Kaye, who has seen a lot of things, can't help looking surprised. He turns his head, and then he sees the surprise from the fundus of lanli's eyes. They exchange a sight and both smile. The liveliness and success of the press conference means that "detachment" has won more attention, which is undoubtedly a good start.

At this time, a voice came from the side of the stage, "the press conference starts now, and reporters can start asking questions."

The speaker should be the host of the press conference, and Lan Li could not help laughing, "is it just now? Isn't the question session already started? " A joke made reporters laugh one after another.

Lan Li gently shrugged, raised his hand and picked up the mineral water bottle in front of him, twisted it open, looked up and drank. Strangely, the whole meeting place fell into a quiet, and all eyes fell on lanli. Lanli's lifting of the mineral water stopped for a moment and looked at Tony suspiciously.

Tony turned to Lan Li and chuckled, "the question session has already started, but you haven't named a reporter, and they can't stand up and ask questions."

Rare to see, blue Li slightly Leng Leng. He always thought that in the press conference of the film festival, the host was responsible for the scene and control, as was the case with the Toronto Film Festival; But I didn't expect that European film festivals are more free and more casual, and press conferences, like audience meetings, are totally free range.

The smile on the corner of my mouth rose helplessly. "Sorry, this is my first time to attend such a grand Film Festival. It seems that I still have a lot to learn." Lenley said to the microphone with ease, then raised his right hand to give Tony the space to control the whole situation.

Unexpectedly, Tony said to the microphone, "does anyone want to ask lenley a question?"

Brush brush brush, the right hand of the reporters raised more than half, even some people can't bear to be excited, the body slightly left the chair, as high as possible his right hand, and constantly shaking, hoping to attract the attention of Lan Li. As a result, the venue immediately turned into a forest of arms, dense and swaying with the wind. Looking around, it was really spectacular.

Such a scene, can be called a scene. With the mineral water in his right hand, lanli stopped in mid air, turned to look at Tony's schadenfreude expression, and then looked at Sammy and Betty on the other side. Finally, he could only put the mineral water back on the table, "well, the first question..." lanli looked down at the stage, swept at will, and politely extended his hand to point in a direction, "This lady, yes, the lady with the blue scarf."

In a flash, the other high right hands were put down, and then everyone looked at the reporter. She also stood up and said to the microphone in front of her, "lanli, I'm Anna from screen magazine. This is your first visit to the Berlin Film Festival. What's your impression here? How do you feel? "

Standard official questions, giving actors or crew the opportunity to "show their love" for the festival.

"I think I'll choose the word 'passion.' After Lan Li said that, there was a low laugh on the scene, and Lan Li couldn't help but smile, "I know, I'm also surprised by this choice. But the fact is, this is really my impression of Berlin in the past 18 hours. "

"Since arriving at the airport yesterday, the city has been showing me a rich history, friendly fans and rare atmosphere. Yesterday afternoon, I met a group of lovely fans at the gate of the hotel. One of the boys also presented me a movie poster of "detachment". That was the first time I saw the poster Just before the press conference, other fans heard about it and gave me a brand new poster. I really can't think of a better way to start this festival. "

"Maybe a bright sunny day can do it." Toni sat next to him without warning, and reporters make complaints about it.

Lan Li also couldn't help smiling and said, "if you had come from London, you wouldn't have said that." In the understatement, when the weather in London darkened, the reporters at the meeting began to laugh. The laughter was so intense that he interrupted the follow-up words of Lan Li. He had to smile, pause for a moment, and then continue to speak.

"Not only that, last night, I went to the cinema to watch this year's works. There, I met a lot of audiences and we shared a lot of views on the film. I'm really impressed by their initiative. " Lenley shrugged. "So, yes, enthusiasm. This is my first impression of the Berlin Film Festival."

The proper questions and proper answers, but lanli's calm and humorous style enlivened the atmosphere of the venue.

Then, in a forest of high arms, Langley ordered a second reporter, "because of shooting" tomorrow's edge ", you regretfully missed the Golden Globe award ceremony two weeks ago. What do you think about this? What's more, can you tell us about the edge of tomorrow

Questioning is still an official form of politeness, but the theme shows a little edge.

However, it's not difficult for Lan Li, "just finished the film is good; Sorry to miss the award ceremony, that's another story. This is Berlin. If I don't want to be driven off the stage by the main Committee, I think we'd better go back to today's point. What do you think? "

They evaded the sensitive topics, but they didn't change the topic; On the contrary, the tone of banter successfully made reporters laugh again. Then the third question, naturally, became much more normal. "Can you tell the audience about" detachment "? Is there anything interesting to share in working with Tony kayer? "
