China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

A few days after the Spring Festival, Wu Yuchen took Li Xiaoran on a flight to Berlin.

Last year, he was only shortlisted for his short film, so he didn't receive much attention at first. He had time to take Jiang Qinqin around during the screening.

This time he was selected for the main competition, and he was very confident in Lola Run, but he was afraid that he would not have much time once the screening started, so he came a week in advance just to have a good time with Li Xiaoran.

In fact, Wu Yuchen basically visited the main attractions last year, walking around the cathedral, museums, and the Berlin Wall, and experiencing the majestic light of the Renaissance. However, it was the first time for Li Xiaoran to come here, or even the first time to go abroad, and he still felt very excited. Excited, after all, it is very rare to go abroad these days.

This time, in addition to Li Xiaoran, Wu Yuchen was also accompanied by Fu Dalong, Tang Yu and people from another company. After running around last year, Tang Yu was already familiar with the film festival process, so this time he was mainly responsible for liaising with the organizers on film screening matters.

After playing for a few days, I finally waited for the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival. At last year's opening ceremony red carpet, Wu Yuchen could only stand on the sidelines and watch others walking. This time, as the main competition film, the crew of Lola Run was also invited to walk on the red carpet.

Of course, compared to those really big-name crews, their crew is really just a marginal role, such as the crew of The English Patient that just received a lot of calls on the red carpet. This movie actually premiered in the United States at the end of December last year. It was clearly a contender for Oscars, and the response and reputation were indeed very high.

So those unspoken rules that say you have to premiere here if you want to participate in the Big Three in Europe are actually bullshit. They are all blown up by a bunch of domestic movie fans in order to maintain the strong style of the Big Three. As long as your movie is influential enough, the Big Three will lick it. Please come over with a straight face.

Many films that are competing for Oscars do this and use Berlin as their front stop for Oscars. This has become a routine practice.

To put it bluntly, the three major European film festivals have developed to a very high commercial level. The influence of the Berlin Film Festival is already somewhat weaker than that of Cannes. How can it drive away the natural flow of high-quality Hollywood literary and artistic films that come to your doorstep?

This Oscar outpost was also done voluntarily by the Berlin Film Festival. From this perspective, in the eyes of Europe and the United States, it is clear at a glance which influence and status the Big Three and the Oscars have.

After the crew of The English Patient, Wu Yuchen saw the black director Spike Lee again. He took his own crew of Ride the Bus to the red carpet, and many people applauded him. Although Spike Lee is American, he is also a frequent visitor to the Big Three in Europe and has accumulated a lot of fame in the Big Three.

At this time, Li Xiaoran beside Wu Yuchen pulled him excitedly and said, It's Zhang Guorong!

At this time, it was Leslie Cheung who was wearing a suit and walked onto the red carpet. He gracefully held Shu Qi's arm and waved on the red carpet and on both sides, which also attracted a lot of cheers and applause.

Zhang Guorong has been very well-known in the three major majors since Farewell My Concubine. This time, the film Erotic Man and Woman directed by Er Dongsheng was selected. Naturally, Zhang Guorong was the main promotion. At this time, Shu Qi beside him was very excited.

Wu Yuchen looked at the director Er Dongsheng who was two steps behind Zhang Guorong. Thinking about it, he felt that he was also very good. In this Erotic Man and Woman, he set up a character named Er Dongsheng. He was a movie that failed at the box office. The director who committed suicide by jumping into the sea asked Liu Qingyun to make a cameo.

After that, Wu Yuchen took Li Xiaoran's arm and walked onto the red carpet, and the emcee's introduction voice sounded at the right time:

Now welcome the crew of the movie Run Lola Run! Its director is the emerging director Yuchen Wu. He left a deep impression on everyone with his short film Car 44 last year and won the Berlin Golden Bear Short Film. And this This time he brought a feature-length movie Run Lola Run, and I don't know what kind of surprises he will bring us!

Many of the people who came to the Berlin premiere were loyal fans every year. Originally, they didn’t know who was walking on the red carpet, but when they heard the mention of Che 44, many of them had watched it last year. ’s people all remembered this sharp short film.

Wu! Come on!

Wu! Welcome to Berlin again!

Wu! I love your Bus 44 and I'm looking forward to your new movie!

Wu! Your The Night the Comet Came is great, super cool!

Wu Yuchen was a little surprised to hear so many people cheering for him. After all, his most famous film The Two of Us in China and the Tokyo Film Festival award he won probably have little influence here. He didn't expect Che 44 He really left an impression on many people. I'm even happier when I hear someone shout about The Night the Comet Came, which shows that this movie is developing well in Europe.

Li Xiaoran watched Wu Yuchen wave to the audience on both sides of the red carpet and saw so many people cheering for him. He couldn't help but further realize Wu Yuchen's influence. It turns out that his man is so powerful!

In the 1990s, when the trend of worshiping foreigners and foreigners was already prevalent, it was undoubtedly a very honorable thing to have so many foreigners cheering for you. At this moment, Li Xiaoran felt a sense of pride in his chest!

After walking off the red carpet, I saw several Chinese crew members standing behind them chatting together. Wu Yuchen also pulled Li Xiaoran over.

Before Wu Yuchen could speak, his old acquaintance Huang Jianxin smiled and introduced to everyone around him:

Here, let me introduce to you. This is our director Wu Yuchen, the director of The Two of Us who won the Grand Jury Prize and Best Actress at the Tokyo Film Festival!

Standing next to Huang Jianxin was also a familiar face, Feng Gong. He was the leading actor in Huang Jianxin's movie. He had already met Wu Yuchen and others when he came here two days ago.

There are quite a few Chinese-language films selected for the Berlin Film Festival this time. In addition to Er Dongsheng's Erotic Man and Woman and Huang Jianxin's Ambush, there are also Tsai Ming-liang's The River and Yan Hao's I Love the Kitchen.

Among them, Yan Hao from Hong Kong Island met Wu Yuchen last year. He won the Best Director in Berlin last year for The Sun Has Ears:

Wu Yuchen, we meet again! I watched your Two of Us and I didn't expect that your style has changed so much. I thought you wanted to continue the sharp and absurd style of Che 44!

Wu Yuchen also shook hands with him and said with a smile: I am in the period of inspiration now, and I want to try everything!

Next to him, Er Dongsheng also took the initiative to greet Wu Yuchen with a smile: Hello, Director Wu, I heard Xu Anhua mentioned you, you are very talented!

You're welcome, Director, I still have a lot to learn~

At this time, Leslie Cheung also smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Wu Yuchen: Director Wu, The Two of Us was filmed so well. It is really touching. I even cried when I saw it!

Thank you! Zhang... can I call you Mr. Rong? We are both your loyal fans! Wu Yuchen pulled the excited Li Xiaoran over and said to Zhang Guorong with a smile.

Of course it doesn't matter, it's all my friends who praise me!

Zhang Guorong laughed, and then took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xiaoran, making him happy.

Everyone was chatting and meeting to cheer each other up, when another astonishing burst of cheers and screams erupted from the red carpet behind them, but it was obvious that most of them were female voices.

After a while, Wu Yuchen saw the crew coming down from the red carpet. Seeing the person in front of him made Wu Yuchen feel a little dazed. The first impression in his mind was, so handsome? !

The man in front has blue eyes, flowing golden brown hair, and a black tie that adds a gentlemanly air. Coupled with the charming smile that has not faded from his face, he is simply a world-class handsome boy.

No wonder so many women were screaming for him just now, it turned out to be Leonardo, DiCaprio!

Currently, Leonardo DiCaprio's masterpiece Titanic has not yet been released, and his fame is far from that great, but it does not affect his attractiveness to women at all. His appearance has caused many female fans to scream.

This time he came to the film festival as the leading actor in Romeo and Juliet, well, he also wanted to win the Oscars.

At this time, Xiao Lizi happened to see Wu Yuchen and others staring at him, so he nodded with a friendly smile and walked towards a group of Hollywood colleagues.

At this time, even Zhang Guorong, who was next to Wu Yuchen, couldn't help but sigh: What a handsome boy! What a blessing from God!

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: Young Master Rong, you are also very beautiful!

Leslie Cheung chuckled and shook his head, then said with a smile: Director Wu, if you are willing to make your debut as an idol, there will definitely be a company here in Hong Kong willing to sign you!

Both of them couldn't help laughing.

…

After the opening red carpet ceremony, the screening began that afternoon. This time, Run Lola Run was allocated to a separate screening room. The location was not bad but not great. After all, there were many popular movies this year. Hollywood films such as The English Patient, Romeo and Juliet and Sex Book Tycoon were all assigned the best positions.

However, Wu Yuchen and the others are well prepared for publicity. In addition to the poster and leaflet strategies that they have been familiar with before, Wu Yuchen also specially invited reporters this time!

It's not that he bribed reporters. He didn't have such a big reputation and connections in the unfamiliar Berlin, but he took the initiative to invite them to watch Lola Run after treating them to dinner. He would not be stingy with the meal and coffee money, no matter what. If it doesn’t work, there’s no harm in giving it a try.

Hannah is a reporter for Bild, the largest newspaper in Germany, no, it should be said to be the largest newspaper in Europe, and is responsible for tracking and reporting on this Berlin Film Festival.

Two days ago, she was invited out for coffee by a director from the East. He was a young and handsome man from the East. After being introduced, she got to know him. He was the director of last year's Berlin Golden Bear short film, and he also made other international films last year. Won some small prizes.

Hannah knew that every year some directors or producers would try to bribe their reporters in order to increase their exposure. She, who believed that she had always upheld fairness and equality, despised this. As a professional journalist with ideals and integrity, Hannah would denounce such behavior and leave calmly.

But it seems that this young director Wu is not. He is really talking to himself about the new movie. After hearing this, Hannah had a lot of feelings about Run Lola Run, which is entirely female-protagonist and beautiful rescue hero. Strong interest!

At the door of the movie theater, Hannah looked at the girl on the poster with flamboyant red hair, who was dressed a little uniquely, pinching her waist and looking at the front with determined eyes, and she immediately felt a good impression in her heart. .

As an independent modern woman, Hannah has long been fed up with those vases in movies who only obey men. It seems that Wu did not lie to herself. This is a movie with a leading female protagonist.

Hannah walked into the theater with a smile. She felt that this was all, even if the quality of Run Lola Run was slightly poor, she still had to mention it in today's report. After all, this was a fight for a world of female equality!

Lucas is a 20-year-old spirited young man. He went to the film festival with his friends over the weekend to find some movies that suit his taste. At this time, he was suddenly stopped by a young man who asked enthusiastically:

Hey guys, do you like playing video games?

Oh, of course! We all like controller games and computer games! Lucas didn't know why he was asking this at the film festival.

The young man took out a leaflet and handed it to them. On it, they saw a red-haired girl with a cartoon character appearance, leaping from the head of a vicious dog with teeth and claws, and then it was written in a prominent position:

Run Lola Run - a journey through the game!

The young man smiled and said: If you like playing games, you must not miss this Lola Run. From the moment the lights go out in the theater, you will feel like you are entering a game!

Lucas heard this and immediately said: Lola? It sounds like Lara Croft, the heroine of Tomb Raider, does it matter?

Tomb Raider released last year was a best-seller in Europe and the United States. Its heroine Lara Croft is famous among computer gamers and few people know about it.

They all have their own personalities and pursuits. They are all the heroines of the game, and they are all going on an adventure!

Lucas and his friend looked at each other and said, That sounds cool!

Believe me, it will not disappoint you!

Lucas and his friends were moved and walked to the theater of Run Lola Run.

A forty-year-old middle-aged man also looked at the leaflet in his hand:

Do you regret the decisions you made?

If you could do it all over again, would everything be better?

Across time, choose your destiny - Run Lola Run

The middle-aged man listened to the introduction of the young man in his ear, looked at the flyer and hesitated for a moment, before heading to the theater of Run Lola Run.

Tang Yu looked on with a smile. Sure enough, when he arrived in Berlin this time, it was a very correct choice to hire a few college students who knew both German and English part-time to do publicity and distribute different publicity to different groups of people!
