Jack Gyllenhaal, an actor who has been wallowing in Hollywood for more than ten years, seems to be very experienced, but in fact, he was born in 1980 and belongs to generation Y, just like Langley.
Jack's career curve is somewhat similar to that of George Clooney. After his "Brokeback Mountain" became popular, "Twelve palaces", "source code", "pot cap" and other works of art gained a lot of reputation, but "Prince of Persia: the blade of time", "love and elixir" and other commercial films failed both in reputation and box office.
Nevertheless, he still has a group of loyal fans, and this year he was invited to be the judge of the Berlin Film Festival.
"Ah, ah The screams on both sides of the red carpet burst like thunder, "Jack! Jack With more and more sincere shouts, people flocked to lanli in all directions. The wave of support that lanli had just raised had not yet been calmed. Now it has created a storm again.
Just when people think the heat of the night can't go any further, Jack and Langley are in the same frame. As a result, the shouting broke the throat, began to change and deform, and evolved into sonic booms one by one. In the night of Berlin, which was raging with cold wind, the scene was so spectacular.
After getting off the bus, standing on the red carpet, Jack seems to be at a loss, just like a lost child. Standing in the same place, he looks left, right, front and back. His eyes at a loss seem to be thinking about the way forward. His steps are so clever and solid that he never moves.
At the end of the hesitation, Jack starts to walk in the direction where Langley is. This simple action, the audience on the scene boiling, the reporters on the scene also boiling.
Compared with the scene of boiling, Lan Li is very calm, not too excited, or unnecessary.
Because the judges who just appeared have proved this: Asha fahati just nodded his head, even the reporters only had time to press the shutter a few times, and then watched Asha enter the main venue; Charlotte gansb stayed for a moment, but said "good evening" and wished the film well. Then she left.
As for Fran? OIS - Ou Rong is even more in a hurry, if not Lan Li took the initiative to catch up, talked about two, just afraid that he is like a staff member, low-key refused to do any stay.
Langley has always liked Francois's films, with French philosophical reflection, English black humor, and a little German social reality - just a little bit absurd. Unfortunately, the red carpet is not the best place to talk. Lan Li just said a polite hello and left politely.
Lan Li guessed that it was because of their accreditation status that they were not suitable to stay more; Or because they are low-key and don't like the red carpet process. Now Jack, it should be the same.
Jack's steps stopped in front of lanli, smiling and greeting at social occasions. "Congratulations on the movie. I'm looking forward to it."
"Thank you. Looking forward to your feedback. " Lan Li also replied politely.
Jack's expression was a little stiff. He raised his eyes and glanced at lenley. He hesitated for a moment, but then moved away. Then he said, "I think I'd better go back and say hello to the audience."
Lenley nodded in agreement. "It seems to have cooled down tonight. They've been waiting here for nearly four hours. That's at least what we can do. "
Jack's face was slightly stunned. He didn't seem to expect lanli's response. He hesitated to turn back and leave, but he hesitated. So he kept a strange backward posture. His eyes fell on lanli, but he didn't speak.
Can't help laughing, "Jack as like as two peas in Hollywood." You should go and say hello. They are calling for you. "
Jack gently retracts his chin, and his eyes fall on lanli's eyes. As soon as the dragonfly touches the water, he shyly drifts away, slowly moves, turns around, and then retracts back. He glances at lanli. Unexpectedly, he finds that lanli's eyes are still not moving away. He immediately drops down in a panic, gently retracts his chin, points to another direction, and gives a sign, The smile on the corner of the mouth rose involuntarily.
Want to say something, but after all nothing said, so turned around, thoughtfully stepped forward; Suddenly I looked back at Lan Li, and the smile on the corner of my mouth became more brilliant. I nodded and waved to Lan Li, and then I walked towards the fans.
"Ah! Jack Among the fanatical shouts, Jack regained his composure, waved and nodded to the fans in a friendly way, and the scene became even hotter again.
Some people once wondered why Jack always seemed to hover between the front line and the quasi front line, and never made a big success? George Clooney, who is of the same type and route, can be described as the "Hollywood president" with boundless scenery. For laymen, it is; But it's not unusual for people in the industry.
Jack is a very low-key person, and he is not good at socializing. He lives in his own world - not autism, but the rhythm of his conversation, laugh and life are slightly different. His sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and his brother-in-law, Peter Sarsgaard, are the same.
In 2013, "prisoner" and "old enemy", 2014 "Night Walker", 2015 "broken life" and "fateful altitude", 2016 "nocturnal animal", in fact, Jack has the hope to compete for the Oscar, even if it is not a prize, at least a nomination. But in the end, there was no nomination. Until 2017, his only Oscar nomination was still "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005.
This is an important reason for the lack of public relations in the college.
Just a short encounter, Jack's shyness and formality, and a little strange, which left a deep impression on lanli. But this type of person, Langley is very familiar with, George Slade, Tony Kaye, Rooney Mara and so on. In a way, Langley himself is.
Turning around, Langley faced the reporters again. However, he didn't stay much, just stayed for about five minutes, then turned and walked into the main hall.
Before and after, he had stayed on the red carpet for nearly 45 minutes. It was cold from the tip of his feet to his chest. He felt that he had been immersed in the Arctic Ocean for a day and a night. The indoor heating came, the stiff muscles began to relax slowly, and the needling pain and numbness began to surge up. The taste was really hard to describe.
Sami Gail came running all the way and stood close to lanli, putting his hands behind him. "Lanli, lanli, there are so many people here today!" Between the words with uncontrollable excitement, "a lot of people I don't know, heard, seem to be big people."
Looking up, lanli sees Betty Kaye standing in the corner, who is afraid to move. She looks at lanli and Sammy for help, but she doesn't dare to step forward, because there is a large group of people standing in front of her, chatting with each other.
Lenley patted Betty on the shoulder. "Are you going to meet some new friends with me, or are you going to stay with me?"
"We'd better stay by. Your conversation is boring." Sammy thought about it seriously, frowned and said with disgust that she was still a child.
"Then go and accompany Betty. You can sneak to the second floor. If my news is right, there should be a buffet table where you can have some dessert or fruit and cushion your stomach." "Don't forget the screening time of the movie. Just come back in time."
Sammy nodded with a smile and ran to Betty. The two chatted, then waved to blue Li and sneaked up the stairs.
The whole main venue was full of people and toasts. Before the premiere tonight, Andy Rogers has already explained in advance that there should be many big people present tonight. This is an extremely important social occasion. As a promoter, Andy sets up the stage, arranges the lights, and leaves the rest to lanli.
First, the chairman of the film festival, then the members of the jury. The other people who can appear on the scene should be the important figures in the German film circle, and perhaps the important figures of Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival. Although the three major European film festivals are competitors, their internal communication and cooperation are far closer than the outside world; In addition, there should also be key figures in important film markets such as Britain, France and Italy.
This kind of occasion is a compulsory course for the upper class. Even if there is no list of guests to watch, Lan Li can guess a rough idea. Of course, the real expert is Arthur.
Just stay in place for a moment, Langley's steps without any doubt, straight toward Francois - o'ron walked past. Those big names are really very important, but before the official Premiere of "detachment" - more accurately, before the official exhibition of lanli's works, all the conversations are just greetings and politeness, no substantive significance, just a mask. So there's no need to be in such a hurry.
In contrast, lanli preferred to choose his favorite filmmaker and start a conversation. What's more, it's a film occasion. It's the best choice to open up the situation with the topic of film and the way of art. Not so deliberate, not so hypocritical. The methods of George Clooney, Brad Pitt and others are not necessarily suitable for Langley.
In full view of the public, the big guys gathered, and lanli's every move was monitored by people, then he unexpectedly walked to Francois orjon. In other words, it is a reasonable choice, and all eyes become meaningful, including Francois himself.
However, the social occasion of just 20 minutes soon ended, and then everyone rushed into the screening hall, and "chaotuo" was about to be officially screened, and the highlight of tonight was finally to start.
When you're exhausted, that's one of the biggest characteristics of top social occasions.
