Chapter 555 Berlin Film Festival, Press Li: Brother Han, Movies Can't Work Without You
Chapter 38 Berlin Film Festival, Li An: Brother Han, movies can't do without you

In the previous life, there was a popular video on Weibo. The well-known movie star Wu Jing entertained the international movie star Jason in a high-end restaurant on the Bund in Shanghai. The food was dumplings, Erguotou, and garlic.

Wu Jing and Jason were very satisfied. Netizens refused to agree, accusing Wu Jing of being stingy. So high-end and luxurious restaurants give people dumplings?Or takeaway...

Lose your face!

It’s really not picky. Dumplings in China have a long history of cultural heritage and represent the simple and unpretentious pursuit of happiness of the Chinese people.

As we all know, eat dumplings, play... In short, dumplings are very delicious!

In front of the dining table, everyone sat together happily, steaming hot dumplings, white, fleshy, plump, exuding an attractive fragrance, making people slurp.

A few foreigners, Leonardo, Scarlett, Joseph, Sirian...

Looking eagerly at Han Qiao, they are all Americans, and they have never tasted Huaxia's dumplings.

"When eating dumplings, there must be garlic, every bite of dumpling has a bite of garlic..."

"Vinegar is essential. First, try a cup of Erguotou."

As Han Qiao said, he took a cup of Erguotou and drank it down in one gulp. Immediately, a hot and pungent feeling rushed from his intestines to his forehead.

Red Star Erguotou has a very high alcohol content. Chinese people say spirits, either vodka, brandy, or tequila.

in fact.

The best spirits are Erguotou.

Several foreigners are very curious about the Western food culture, which is very "mannered".

but.

Daily food is actually very casual, just simple dumplings, there is such an interesting saying.

Han Qiao drank a cup of Erguotou, held the dumplings with the chopsticks in his right hand, and picked up a clove of garlic with his left hand. Under the curious eyes of foreigners, he dipped some vinegar and ate the dumplings in one bite.

Then,
After eating garlic, Erguotou's spicy taste, accompanied by the fragrance of dumplings, garlic adds a base flavor.

The taste passed down from the ancestors is authentic!

"Leonardo, you try?"

"Okay." Leonardo was handsome and handsome, and Han Qiao hosted a banquet for him. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a sloppy back and oiled hair, and he had an elegant and aristocratic temperament of England.

On the seat, the grandpa and aunt grinned from ear to ear. Uncle Wang took a sip of Erguotou, held his wine glass, and stared and said, "Old Zhang, I have never eaten dumplings for foreigners."

"It's more than dumplings." The uncle thought of the days in the United States, with tears streaming down his face: "Just this one, I have been thinking about it for 4 years, the garlic in the United States, it has no garlic taste, and it is called onion over there. It is not in vain. Onions are onions. Garlic is garlic..."

In Han Qiao's encouraging eyes, Leonardo was heartbroken, feeling bored with a cup of Erguotou.

Immediately.

The handsome guy became Guan Gong's face, with a painful expression, imitating everything, the chopsticks were difficult, so he used his hands directly, dipped the dumplings in vinegar, and ate them in one bite.

Immediately, he bit a clove of garlic, chewed a few mouthfuls, his eyes widened, his painful expression eased, after a while, he gave a thumbs up, and said in bad Chinese dialect: "Han, authentic!"

"Hahaha……"

Immediately, there was a lot of laughter, they were all very happy and thought it was very innovative.

Han Qiao greeted foreign friends and taught him how to use chopsticks. He said: "Chopsticks are our Chinese tableware. Don't look at them as simple. In fact, simple chopsticks have very profound Chinese culture."

"Look at..."

"One end of chopsticks is square and the other is round. We Chinese ancients said: the sky is round and the earth is round..."

"One part of the circle is in direct contact with food. This is the simplest wish of the ancients. Food is the most important thing for the people."

"When we use chopsticks, we use one end to catch the square. In Chinese culture, this is called: "execute the square and execute the circle. ""

"A person can be tactful and sophisticated in how he behaves, but our hearts must have rules and be square..."

Simple chopsticks contain simple Chinese philosophy. Some people envy: "Westerners are so elegant and have a sense of ritual. They use knives and forks when they eat."

Saying.

If Chinese people really pay attention to: "table manners", the juniors will definitely be annoyed, complaining: "feudal dross."

Han Qiao introduced.

Several foreigners were a little shocked. Scarlett looked at the chopsticks and yelled, "Han, you are so educated. I didn't expect such two small wooden sticks to have such important meaning."

"That's right." Leonardo was drunk and muttered: "When I go back, I will bring a few bottles of Erguotou, this wine is really strong."

Laughter.

While eating dumplings, drinking and having fun, Scarlett suddenly invited Han Qiao to dance.

Leonardo hugged the guitar, and Sirian Murphy banged the ceramic bowl with his chopsticks and hummed a ditty.

In the flowing music, Scarlett danced gracefully, her skirt was like a lotus pod, revealing a small section of white, tender and straight legs.

The widow's figure is quite illegal, and, in "Inception", she is a sexy and charming young woman.

The pearls are round and the jade is smooth, Erguotou is on top, and Han Qiao is drunk.

At this time.

Scarlett put her hands on his chest and said in a small voice, "Han, I gave myself a Chinese name."

"what?"

Scarlett raised her head, her lips were full, with fresh lipstick, and she said charmingly, "My name is sister-in-law."

"..."

Monster, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!

It seems that the last seduction was unsuccessful, and Scarlett did not give up!

just.

There is no one named sister-in-law, this is not a provocation!

Han Qiao was going to give her some flair.

………………

Hengdian "Inception" city, with a total investment of 8000 million yuan, has a "Nanmeng Space" themed hotel.

In "Inception", many indoor scenes were filmed in Hengdian.

Filming was busy, and Han Qiao seldom paid attention to outside news.

seriously.

The Huaxia Film Market in December is really lively.

"Fireworks in the Day" was released for a month, and the box office exceeded [-] million. As Han Qiao's fourth film, this result did not disappoint the audience.

Simultaneously.

People in the circle vaguely said: "Han Qiao is the second largest director in the mainland, second only to Zhang Yimou."

The "Three Directors" in the Mainland: Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang.

A few people secretly compete, for example, Chen Kai's lifelong wish is to defeat his old classmate Zhang Yimou and become the number one director in mainland China.

Feng Xiaogang's biggest wish is to make a "real" film that can convey his film ideas.

He tried it once, the movie "1942", this movie, Feng Xiaogang has carefully crafted it for several years, visited the whole country, and poured his heart and soul into it. It can be called the first movie career. child.

As a result, the box office suffered Waterloo.

The following year, Feng Xiaogang was disheartened, so he casually filmed "Private Order", and the box office broke the box office record of his personal film career.

The small steel cannons have broken their defenses. The well-produced movies are not bought by the audience, and the movies that are made indiscriminately are sold at a high price, and the word-of-mouth box office has a double harvest.

He had an epiphany: "The reason why there are garbage movies in Huaxia is because there are a large group of garbage audiences."

I tried my best to please them and plunged into the abyss of trash movies.

From now on.

Not a word about movie dreams.

No one expected that Han Qiao would come out halfway, and he would shoot three times, one for Feng Xiaogang and one for Brother Chen Kai.

just now.

A literary movie with a box office of over [-] million yuan, Hanqiao's second largest director of mainland movies, is worthy of the name.

even.

People in the circle believe that it will be a matter of time before Han Qiao defeats Zhang Yimou.

12 month.

"The Golden Armor in the City" was released, and people in the circle were dumbfounded. I have to say, Lao Zhang is really fierce!

In 12 days, the box office of "Curse of Golden Flowers" broke through [-] million, soaring all the way.

Accompanied by the hurricane of the box office.

The stories outside the movie are even more exciting.

This film, with a total investment of 3.6 million yuan, can be called the first investment film in Mainland China.

With the huge investment, the remuneration of the actors is even more jaw-dropping.

The film invited Zhou Runhua, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Jay Chou...

among them.

Zhou Runhua's film salary was 4000 million. In 2006, the film salary of 4000 million was unheard of!

Simultaneously.

His huge expense, Zhou Runhua's costume "Golden Armor", is worth 178 million RMB.

During filming, the crew rented him a 50 limousine for just one reason: he is used to sitting on the toilet.

In addition, it is convenient for my wife to visit the class.

result.

His wife never came, and the 50 yuan was purely his personal expenses.

Complaints abound.

After the movie ended, Zhang Weiping couldn't take it anymore, and accused Zhou Runhua of being unprofessional, playing big names, and a disgrace to Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Zhou Runhua naturally denied it, saying that Zhang Weiping was arrogant and respectful, and he was a villain.

The audience and those in the circle are full of melons.

Simultaneously.

"Curse of Golden Flowers", the box office soared and word-of-mouth plummeted.

Zhang Yimou's talents were exhausted, and all kinds of remarks were rampant.

honestly.

The quality of "The Golden Armor in the City" is actually good. In the movie, Han Qiao admires Emperor Gong's principles.

and.

Zhang Yimou filmed this movie, filming during the day, and having a meeting with his Olympic opening ceremony working group at night.

It is said.

His sleep time is only 4 hours, a real hero!
This is not.

This is how Han Qiao comforted him. Zhang Yimou complained to him, complaining, "Han Qiao, is this movie really as bad as they say?"

"No."

Han Qiao categorically denied it, but he really couldn't say what is good about the movie, so he could only change the subject: "Brother Zhang, it's hard work, I've been making movies during this time, and the work on the opening ceremony is all on You are alone, and you are under a lot of pressure!"

"Fortunately."

"Han Qiao, a few of your suggestions have solved the big trouble in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

Han Qiao is the deputy chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

but.

He seldom attended the working meeting of the working group on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and no member of the working group had any objection to this.

after all.

Han Qiao always has a way to point out the right direction in the fog of confusion.

He is the beacon of the Olympic working group. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, it is right to look for Han Qiao.

simply say.

Han Qiao is now Zhang Yimou's "grandfather" with him, and in times of crisis, the "grandfather" will take action.

The two talked, and Zhang Yimou said meaningfully, "Han Qiao, next year I will be a judge at the Venice Film Festival."

Venice Film Festival.

Han Qiao thought about it, and there are three major European cities: Berlin, Cannes, and Venice.

Except for Cannes, Lao Zhang has no trophies, and the other two major film festivals are old drivers.

and.

The Venice Film Festival loves Chinese films very much, and the Golden Lion Awards have been awarded to Chinese films for three consecutive years.

Zhang Yimou made it very clear: "Brother, I am the judge. If you have an idea, make a movie."

"Brother Zhang, to be honest, my goal is not Venice."

"Oh?"

"Brother Zhang, have you heard of Cameron?"

"In 2008, Cameron was preparing to release his own sci-fi movie Avatar. Cameron had been preparing for this movie for 8 years." Han Qiao said: "Brother Zhang, Cameron has great ambitions. He wants to surpass the Titanic." .”

"In the past, when the Titanic was released, this big ship ran rampant in movies all over the world, and even the industry turned pale, thinking that the big ship is coming!"

"I don't want things like this to continue to happen in China in 2008."

Han Qiao said in a deep voice, "I want to shoot a sci-fi movie, confronting Avatar head-on!"

"Han Qiao, you?" Zhang Yimou was a little shocked. Cameron is a world film master.

Zhang Yimou is just a junior in front of him, so he naturally knows that Cameron's movies are the spear of God, invincible and invincible.

but.

Now, Han Qiao said that he was going to confront Cameron head-on, and Zhang Yimou couldn't calm down for a long time.

original.

The once outstanding young director of Huaxia has grown to this point now.

His wish has finally been fulfilled, and the moonlight can be seen when the clouds open. Huaxia Movies is about to have a new opportunity!
"Han Qiao, your idea is good, good, really good."

Zhang Yimou spoke incoherently with excitement: "Han Qiao, I won't be making movies next year. I'm an old man. If you don't mind, I'll direct the camera for you."

shit.

Han Qiao's eyes widened, what is card face!

Zhang Yimou took charge of the camera for him, and said that he was awesome in the entire Huaxia movie.

Han Qiao immediately beamed with joy: "Brother Zhang, you... it's been agreed, you can't renege on your debt next year."

"It's not bad." Zhang Yimou was a little lively: "You don't want to dislike it."

hang up the phone.

Han Qiao was gearing up excitedly, "The Wandering Earth" has Lao Zhang, even more powerful!
correct.

In 2007, the award-winning film at the Venice Film Festival seemed to be Li Yin's "Reboot".

Do you want to steal Li Press's award?
or……

Give Lao Gu some compensation, after all, Lao Gu is very loyal, and if he sees through, his son still treats him as his own!
Such a brother, if he doesn't give some compensation, Han Qiao's conscience will be hard to rest!
…………

2007 years.

The domestic film market in 2006 came to an end.

According to the data of Huaxia Film, 2006 was the first year that Huaxia Film took off.

This year.

There are commercial film masterpieces "Night Banquet" and "Golden Armor in the City", and the box office is very good.

However, Zhang Weiping wanted to jump off the building for the blood compensation of "Curse of the City with Golden Armor", and he lost 1.5 million yuan.

Literary films also have excellent works: Tuya's Story, Yun Shuiyao.

among them.

Huaxia Films affirmed Han Qiao's film "Fireworks in the Day", saying that this film: "Gives a new outlet for literary and commercial films."

Literary and artistic films can also have box office, and commercial films can also have connotations.

In the entertainment circle, entertainment to death, news emerges endlessly.

Han Qiao didn't even care. He spent New Year's Day in Switzerland in 2007.

The last scene of "Namco Space", the snow-capped mountain fight, was filmed in the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland.

On the top of the snow mountain, there are bunkers left over from World War II.

this day.

The weather was fine, at the foot of the Swiss snow-capped mountains, Han Qiao was wrapped in a big padded jacket, and his beard was covered with white crystals of snow and frost. Looking at the monitor, his throat was hoarse, and he said with great emotion: "Ka!"

A "click."

The entire production crew immediately cheered, and the interns from the three major cinema chains hugged each other, crying and dancing in the snow.

The staff of the film crew, smiling and busy, became lighter.

The actors gathered in front of Han Qiao, and they had too much to say. In the end, they looked at Han Qiao with eyes full of joy.

It's done!

"Inception" has finished filming, and the crew has been filming for 6 months. This time can be said to be a very long time!
and.

The crew traveled all over the world. They blew through the cold wind in Japan, drenched in the heavy rain in the UK, and in the small town of Monocco, they saw farmers leaving their morning stalls at four o'clock in the morning.

America, France, England, Japan, China, Switzerland...

In six months, their footprints are all over the planet. Don't think that traveling around the world is very comfortable.

in fact.

Very tired, exhausting everything, exhausted physically and mentally, sometimes, a few actors even yelled at the empty mountain forest, running wildly in the night like primitive beasts.

It's done.

It's all over!

Han Qiao looked at each other with deep emotion. This movie is his first big movie.

It marks that he has transformed from a mainland Chinese director to an international director.

This is the starting point of his global campaign.

He clasped his hands together, facing the snow-capped mountains, praying devoutly, like an ascetic.

When other people saw it, they imitated him one after another, clasped their hands together, and passed on one word to ten, and ten to a hundred.

At last.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, there are all ants with folded hands. They are sincerely grateful for the movie and the life of light and film.

night.

At the finale banquet, Han Qiao was drunk, and the actors of the crew were crying and making noise.

Scarlett hugged him and didn't let go at all, completely ignoring Qin Lan's dark face.

correct.

There are also the three-star princess Li Yinxi, two women, who forcibly took Han Qiao from Scarlett's arms.

Scarlett cried and screamed, cursing them: "Vipers."

that night.

Han Qiao was in a daze, always feeling a little heavy on his chest, which made him unable to breathe. He habitually hugged his hands, clamped his legs, and fell asleep soundly.

The next day.

The sun shone in through the gaps in the curtains, Han Qiao felt a little itchy, he woke up in a daze, his chest was wet, and his nose was numb.

Disgusting eyes, bitch, drooling while sleeping.

There was a "snap", the sound was clear and clear, Han Qiao was a little confused, and the feeling was a little bit wrong.

Look past.

A pair of sleepy eyes, like a hibernating little squirrel, a little dazed, muttering: "Han Qiao, don't make trouble, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

Han Qiao didn't speak.

Count silently in my heart: "1, 2..."

Before counting to 3, there was a terrified cry in his ear, like a whistle, piercing the clear sky, Li Yinxi's eyes widened, and he pointed at Han Qiao, terrified: "You...you...you...I... me……"

Han Qiao said calmly, "This is my bed."

"Fart! This is my bed." Li Yinxi buttoned her scalp irritably. There was something wrong with her whole body. She glanced at her eyes and thumped the quilt: "Han Qiao, you bastard, you were drunk yesterday, I took good care of you , you actually..."

"No."

"This is my bed, and I'm drunk." Han Qiao looked suspicious: "Did you plot against me while I was drunk?"

"You are shameless!"

Li Yinxi wants to cry but has no tears, she is not clean anymore.

Han Qiao glanced sideways. Silly girl, the clothes are all intact. After thinking about it, the evil was on the verge of courage. Turning over, he pressed her down and pressed Li Yinxi with both hands: "Do you want to try again?"

"No, no." Li Yinxi said nothing.

Without saying a word, Han Qiao bent down and touched her.

Li Yinxi's eyes widened, and gradually, her eyes closed slowly, with a small voice: "Then...then try it, I didn't feel it last night..."

"???"

Come on, silly daughter of the landlord's family, if I don't lie to you, whoever will lie to you!
