Chapter 803

Fantastic, truly fantastic!

On top of the Berlin Film Festival, ticket sales have been booming again for a long time, and the demand is still in short supply. There are so many people waiting in line to buy tickets that they have to buy tickets for other shows!

Such a grand occasion has not been seen for a long time, so that people's memory has become blurred. At least, it has never been seen since Dieter koslik took over the presidency - Dieter took office in 2001.

The tickets for the four shows of "chaotuo" are all announced for sale; In addition, there are eight shows, and the attendance rate of "detached" has reached 90%. There is no long queue, no call for extra games, but the attention and discussion of "detachment" has created the best, brilliant and magnificent in the past decade.

Standing on Potsdam square, taking the subway, sitting in the open-air cafe, walking in the mall, walking on the street... The whole city seems to be discussing "detachment" - of course, this is an illusion. This work is not "Avatar", but this illusion is so real. Just mention the film festival being held in this city, People's first reaction is "detachment.".

To be more precise, it should be "have you seen that controversial film?" or "I heard that a film this year was very noisy at the film festival." or "what's the matter with the lenley hall film?".

Berlin is a huge and complex city, and every year at this time belongs to the film, every film lover can more or less say one or two words, express their own or other people's views.

It is such a movie that people can hate and love; It is such a movie that shows the shocking and distinctive features from the author's perspective; It's such a movie, whether it's for or against, with strong emotions. Similar works can be covered with a name: art.

As for whether it is worthy of the name, it is up to the judges to make a decision.

As a result, the attendance rate of "detachment" detonated the market, and the Organizing Committee of Berlin Film Festival made a decision immediately and took the initiative to screen two more films. Tickets for the two shows sold 80% in 12 hours. There is still some time to go before the show time. It can be concluded that the two shows will also be full.

If it's Toronto, maybe it's time to add another game. However, the Berlin Film Festival is still reserved. In the face of the hot film market, it does not act rashly any more. Instead, it maintains the nobility and arrogance of the European Film Festival.

At the intersection of traffic lights, a black car stops in the traffic. Through the window glass, you can see the turbulent crowd outside the window. A group of young people are chattering and talking, holding the official magazine published by "screen" in their hands. Their young faces are filled with excited smiles, and they can't help but start dancing.

"It's not very common in Berlin." Nathan, sitting in the passenger seat, was smiling and sighing. It's not about the magazine, but about the unrestrained smile and action. The introverted and repressed German left a similar stereotype all over the world.

He turned his head and looked out of the window. The corner of his mouth rose slightly. "That's because you don't know Berlin."

The vitality and charm of this city are only shown to the real Berliners. In fact, Europeans all regard Berlin as "the capital of nightclubs", but the title is not convincing to the general public.

"Listen to your words, you seem to know this city very well. How about introducing it?" Roy, on the other side of the back seat, said meaningfully.

Lan Li didn't look back, just chuckled, "if you have a chance."

February is the full sprint stage of the award season. The public relations occasions in Los Angeles and New York are too busy, and the Berlin Film Festival has been neglected, which is understandable.

On this trip to Berlin, lanli left only four days; After that, he had to go back to Los Angeles to attend various activities and launch college public relations; Then there was the Grammy Awards ceremony, and then there was no breathing space, so we had to go to New York nonstop to carry out a series of activities with focus film——

As an actor, Langley is a representative of the British Academy and the east coast New York school, which are important sources of votes for the Academy's public relations.

Although they are only going to stay for four days, the intensive work is still piling up. On the first day of Langley's arrival in Berlin, he just met with Andy Rogers. That night, Andy took the red eye flight back to Los Angeles, where there are still countless jobs waiting for him to start.

Fortunately, Roy is now fully responsible for the affairs around Langley. The itinerary design and work arrangement of the Berlin Film Festival, including media coordination, have been completed in one go. In particular, after the "detachment" achieved an unexpected response, the busy degree of work directly doubled, but Langley still watched three films in leisure, and Roy was undoubtedly the most important behind the scenes driver.

Like a submarine, the car glides silently in the cold winter. There is thick snow on both sides of the road. The whole world is full of layers of cold, strong, rough and lush, but there are countless possibilities hidden under the surface.

Leaving Potsdam square and arriving at Berlin International Airport seems to be only a little distracted time, but it's only a 25 minute drive. I'm afraid the speed will be faster if there is no delay of traffic lights.

The driver safely parked the car in the temporary parking space. Nathan and Roy got out of the car first and were ready to carry their luggage. Lanli didn't leave in a hurry. He leaned forward slightly, patted the back of the driver's seat, looked in the rearview mirror and met the driver's eyes. "Thank you for your company in the past four days. I'm very happy, Mr. Schneider."

The so-called nobility, they are proud, but not arrogant; They are reserved, but not rude; They are self, but not arrogant. Real noble etiquette, more know how to treat everyone around to provide services.

After that, Lan Li pushed the door open and went down. There was no noise in the airport. On top of the film festival, pick-up is lively, but delivery is cold. Because of the special schedule of the film festival, there may be actors or directors leaving every day. Journalists can't stay at the airport all the time. They even take care of the airport.

"Zizizi, zizizi", the mobile phone in his pocket began to shake. Roy took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then raised his voice and said, "Nathan, here are your passport and ticket. You can push your luggage to check in first. I'll take a call."

Nathan puts his luggage on the cart, turns around, takes his passport and ticket from Roy, and signals that there are two more bags in the back compartment. Without waiting for Roy to answer, the driver turned and walked over, indicating that he could help. Nathan said with a smile that he was grateful. Then he quickly stepped forward and took the cart from Langley's hand. "I'll do it."

Walking into the busy airport hall, people come and go in an endless stream. The outdoor cold and awe are blocked outside the glass door, and the body gradually becomes warm. With the help of the driver, all the luggage was pushed in. Lanli stood in place to guard the luggage, while Nathan went to the next display to check in the number of the check-in counter and the boarding gate.

"Langley, come on. The check-in counter is right there." Nathan trotted all the way over with a big smile on his face. "You say, after we pass the customs, can we find a place to eat? I heard that the restaurants in Berlin Airport are really good. And there's food from all over the world. "

"Airport restaurant? Are you sure? " Blue Li showed a suspicious look, obviously not buy it, but Nathan nodded again and again, a face of sincerity, "really, really. Otherwise, I'll try it first and recommend it to you if it's delicious? "

Lan Li narrowed his eyes slightly. "You don't plan to try every store, do you?"

"Hey, hey, hey." Nathan scratched his head, but he couldn't smile.

At this time, Roy also pushed open the glass door, came in, stopped the driver who was about to leave, and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Then he saw the driver come back again, pushing the luggage next to lanli back. Langley and Nathan don't know, so they look at Roy.

Roy came up quickly, with an elusive look on his face, and said boldly, "go back to the car first. There is a time limit for parking here, and the German traffic police are absolutely punctual in issuing orders. " Then he said to Nathan, "come on, put your luggage back in the trunk."

Lan Li stared at the three men in front of him terrified, and the heels did not stand firm. Then he rolled out like a tornado and quickly put all his luggage back into the trunk. Kwai did not seem to have changed his breath. Such an absurd scene makes people laugh.

Shaking his head, Lan Li didn't ask any more questions. He left the airport and got into the driver's seat again. Then he saw the driver come in first. Their eyes crossed in the rearview mirror. Lan Li said with a smile, "Hey, nice to meet you for the first time." This British humor successfully made the German smile.

After that, Nathan and Roy also get on the bus in a hurry. The driver starts and leaves the car in a leisurely manner. The chaos of war is a temporary period.

Without waiting for Langley to ask, Roy confessed, "it was Dieter koslick just now. He personally invited us to stay in Berlin for a few more days and then attend the closing ceremony."

Today, there are still two days to go before the end of the Berlin Film Festival. In other words, the jury has not even begun to discuss the attribution of awards, so naturally it is not a "prize warning". So, what's going on?

"There will be an exchange meeting for young German filmmakers tomorrow. They will invite young actors, young directors and young screenwriters from all over the world to come together and share their projects, experiences and views on this year's Film Festival." Roy went on to explain, "det wants to invite you."
