785 The night before the premiere
The hour hand has crossed the midnight line, but the hall of the cinema is still filled with enthusiastic and noisy scenes. The number of audience members is not large, only about thirty or forty people, gathered together in twos and threes, dancing and expressing happily view, the scene presents a prosperous scene.
A small group of audience members gathered around the Coen brothers. There were also four or five people standing between the two brothers, subtly divided into two circles. Questions came one after another, not only discussing the movie they just watched, but also discussing While listening to the old works of the two brothers, cheerful laughter can be heard from time to time. In the quiet midnight, there is a kind of comfort and relaxation like talking by candlelight at night..
Renly walked through the crowd quietly and left the cinema without anyone noticing..
It wasn't until the next movie screening started and the audience entered the screening hall one after another that Ethan finally came to his senses and asked, "Why didn't you see that guy?" He looked around, but didn't find anything at all. Signs of commotion, "I thought he would stay on purpose, talk to everyone, do some showmanship, and spread his reputation. This is also a good thing.".”
“Maybe he did it on purpose? Secretly send a photo of the ticket stub, or take a photo with two movie fans and upload it to the Internet. In this way, he does not need to deal with these fans, but he can achieve his goal and create a good reputation. It couldn't be easier. "Joel didn't want to think deeply at all, and waved his hand impatiently, "In today's Internet, there are countless methods that you and I don't know about. It's not like you don't know how powerful those public relations companies are..”
Ethan was stunned for a moment. Joel's words turned around in his mind, but he found that he had no way to refute, and there was no need to think about how to refute. He was just a stranger. So, he nodded in agreement, "Let's go. Well, I just saw the movie schedule. There is also a Nicolai Axel show at Alexanderplatz..”
The two brothers left the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz and headed to Alexanderplatz, another center in Berlin..
……
From indoors to outdoors, Berlin's cold air penetrated into the blood vessels along the pores. The biting cold brought a sense of moisture, sticky and wet, entangled in the blood vessels and bones, and in a trance, it seemed as if My whole body became heavier. Berlin’s winter is truly worthy of its reputation..
If time permits, Renly is very willing to watch another movie and enjoy the baptism of the film festival. The craziness of watching seven movies in one day at the Telluride Film Festival is still vivid in his mind. But, tomorrow - strictly In a sense, today is the premiere of "Transcendence". He still needs to get up in the morning for interviews. Considering the severe lack of sleep in the recent period and his own love for sleeping in, he decided to call it a night..
Standing on the empty street outside the Sony Center, waiting for the red light to change to green, a gust of cold wind blew, and goosebumps appeared all over my body. Mixed with a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps, they began to jump closer. Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first, "Sir, sir, may I disturb you for a moment?"？”
The voice full of youthful vitality spreads in the middle of the night, and you can clearly feel the vitality. Turning your head, you will see four young people, two men and two women, with acne and pimples still remaining on their faces. And immature, he doesn’t even look like a college student, but a high school student.
“Sir, we are students studying at the Free University of Berlin. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this film festival, we are conducting a survey to interview external audiences’ opinions on the Berlin Film Festival. We hope to be able to put forward some suggestions for improvement. What are our advantages? , what are the shortcomings, and finally complete a semester-end report. Excuse me, can I waste a little time on you? Ten minutes, no, just five minutes. Twenty questions in total..”
This passage was not spoken by one person, but was put together by three people, one by one and one by one. The remaining one looked at Renly seriously with eyes full of longing and pleading..
Renly couldn't help but laugh. The Berlin Film Festival can persist, or the artistic soil in Europe can remain fertile. These details of life may be the reason behind it. "Twenty questions in five minutes, then you must start quickly, otherwise time will It's almost too late.”
The four people were stunned for a moment, not realizing what this sentence meant. Then one of the tall and thin girls patted her companion's arm hard, "Stupid, ask quickly, ask quickly!" Only then did the others react. , hurriedly began to ask, "Christine, the first question is for you, your.”
The girl named Christine nodded repeatedly, "Oh, oh. Sir, may I ask, what attracted you to the Berlin Film Festival this year?".”
The end of his eyebrows raised slightly, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but rise. Renly simply replied, "'Transcendence'’.”
“Hey, I'm really looking forward to this movie too! "A tall and strong boy next to him jumped up excitedly. His short ginger hair was particularly conspicuous under the late night street lights. "This movie will premiere tomorrow. Will you go to participate? "In excitement, he blurted it out directly, but then he suppressed his smile and said seriously, "This is not included in the twenty questions..”
The smile became brighter and Renly nodded slightly, "It seems that I should participate..”
“Mark, withdraw your attention and investigate! Research! "The friends next to him tried to dissuade him. Ginger Head laughed twice, nodded repeatedly, and quickly moved on to the next question..
Twenty questions went very quickly, but obviously five minutes was not enough. It took nearly twenty minutes before all the questions came to an end. The tall and lanky girl expressed her gratitude to Renly again and again. Thanks, I watched Renly walk across the crosswalk and walked towards the Grand Hyatt Hotel..
Christine-Schuettler couldn't help but marvel, "He is such a good person. He not only cooperated with our interview, but also had such a friendly attitude. God, if every interviewee was like this, how many more would it be?" good.”
“I think he must be a loyal movie fan. He seems to have just come out of the Sony Center. It is because he loves movies that he is willing to help us." The tall and thin girl is called Catarina-Koffler. She was also in a very relaxed and happy mood. She looked back in the direction of the Sony Center and said, "Let's go to the cinema and have a look. Maybe we can get something unexpected.".”
“Wait, wait! "The ginger-head Mark Lacant froze on the spot, raised his hand to signal everyone not to move. He seemed to have caught an inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't seem to catch it. This feeling is really bad. "Don't you think the gentleman just now looks familiar? It seems like a certain actor, wait a minute, or a director？”
“Why didn't you say you were a screenwriter? "Chuck-Smith's steady voice is calm and doesn't speak much, but he can always focus on the key points..
“Yeah, maybe it's the screenwriter." Mark's thoughts were immediately taken astray. It took him a second to realize that Chuck was teasing him. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Chuck, I'm serious." Then He looked at the other two companions and cast a look of help, "Don't you think so?？”
“Mark, although this is the Berlin Film Festival, it doesn’t mean we can meet movie stars at will.” Katarina consoled her seriously, “You know those actors, most of them are just pretending. They are really willing to watch. There aren't many movies left. I used to think that French actors wouldn't be like this, but have you forgotten? What happened to us in Cannes last year? For them, sunbathing on the beach is much more important than movies.”
Mark opened his mouth, but his retort was stuck. In the end, he could only complain depressedly, "But, he really looks like a certain actor.".”
“Absolutely not! "Chuck said decisively..
“I don’t think so either.” Kristen added.
Katarina didn't need to speak, she just shrugged, and the meaning was obvious..
Mark lowered his head helplessly, let out a long breath, and followed listlessly behind his three friends towards the Sony Center..
……
Eighteen hours later, on the red carpet at the main venue of the Berlin Film Festival.
Mark stared at the figure coming out of the black car with wide eyes. He was so happy that his whole body exploded. He shook Chuck's shoulders vigorously, "I told you! I told you! Ahhhhhhh ! I knew it！”
The three friends standing nearby were completely dumbfounded. Chuck's jaw had been completely dislocated, and he probably couldn't put it back together. Katarina was also stunned, her eyes filled with incredible doubts and confusion, trying to see. It's clearer, I can see it clearer, but I still can't believe it.
Kristine was already crying so hard that she didn’t even know why she cried when she felt so good, but the tears just fell down like this and couldn’t stop. Her mind went blank and she just stood there stupidly. , howling loudly.
The two sides of the red carpet were like boiling water reaching the boiling point, rolling gurglingly; screams and shouts gathered overwhelmingly, like splashing magma, hot, fiery, bright, bright, and the cold winter air retreated one after another. , the whole night becomes brighter, and it seems that the vast night can be seen burning.
All of this is because of the man who just appeared on the red carpet. He wore a dark blue shirt, a light gray suit, and a hand-knitted blue tie. He appeared in front of the audience with a majestic appearance, and then detonated Berlin. The biggest craze since the opening of the film festival, crazy, wanton, out of control, hot and intense……
Renly Hall. The most popular and topical new-generation actor at this year's Berlin Film Festival. He led the new film "Detachment" to appear at the three major European film festivals for the first time, and then won unanimous support from the media and audiences. , comparable to top superstars.
Getting closer, and getting closer, Mark finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and used all the strength in his Dantian to scream, "Renly! Here!"！”
The next second, Christine, Katarina and Chuck all froze in place because Renly walked over..
