802 Promotion ends
Unbelievable, truly unbelievable！
At the Berlin Film Festival, tickets were sold out again for the first time in a long time, and demand exceeded supply. There were so many people waiting in line to buy tickets that they had to buy tickets for other events.！
Such a grand occasion has not been seen for so long that people's memories have become blurred. At least, it has never happened since Dieter Koslick took over the chairmanship - Dieter took office in 2001..
Four screenings of "Transcendence" were all sold out; there were also eight screenings, and the attendance rate of "Transcendence" reached 90%. There were no long lines, and there were no calls for additional screenings. However, the attention and discussion of "transcendence" have created the best, brilliant and magnificent achievements in the past ten years..
Standing on Potsdamer Platz, riding the subway, sitting in outdoor cafes, walking in shopping malls, strolling on the streets... 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. As long as the film festival being held in this city is mentioned, people's first reaction is: "Transcendence"”.
To be more precise, it should be "Have you seen that controversial movie?" or "I heard that a movie caused a lot of controversy at the film festival this year", or "Renly- What happened to Hall's movie?”.
Berlin is a huge and complex city, and this time of year is all about movies. Every movie lover can say a word or two and express his own or other people's opinions..
It is such a movie that people can hate and love; it is such a movie that shows a shocking and unique look from the author's perspective; it is such a movie that, whether supporting or opposing, the emotions are the same Strong. Similar works can be given a name: art.
As for whether it is worthy of the name, let’s wait for the judges’ decision..
As a result, the "extraordinary" attendance rate detonated the market. The Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee made a decisive decision and took the initiative to screen the film twice. 100% of the movie tickets for the two screenings were sold within 12 hours. Eighty percent, there is still some time until the screening time, and it can be concluded that these two screenings will also be fully booked..
If it were Toronto, it might have taken advantage of the situation and added another venue. However, the Berlin Film Festival was still a little reserved. Facing the hot movie viewing market, it did not act rashly, but maintained the nobility and arrogance of European film festivals..
At the intersection with traffic lights, a black car stopped in the middle of the traffic. Through the car window, you could see the surging crowd outside the window. A group of young people were talking loudly and holding official copies of "Screen" published in their hands. At the event, his young face was filled with an excited smile, and he couldn't help but start dancing..
“This is not very common in Berlin." Nathan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed with a smile on his face. He was not lamenting the movie schedule, but lamenting the wanton, unrestrained smile and movements. The reserved and repressed Germans, left similar stereotypes to the whole world.
Renly turned his head and looked out the window, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "That's because you don't understand Berlin..”
The vitality and charm of this city are only shown to those real Berliners. In fact, Europeans call Berlin the "nightclub capital", but this title is not convincing to the general public..
“From your words, it seems that you know this city very well. How about it? Are you ready to introduce it? Roy, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, said meaningfully..
Renly didn't look back, just chuckled, "If you have the chance,.”
In February, the awards season is in full swing. Academy public relations venues in Los Angeles and New York are overwhelmed, and the Berlin Film Festival is left out. This is understandable..
During this trip to Berlin, Renly only stayed for four days; after it was over, he had to rush back to Los Angeles to attend various events and start public relations for the academy; followed by the Grammy Awards ceremony, there was no further news. To have some breathing space, I have to head to New York non-stop to launch a series of activities with Focus Features.——
As an actor, Renly is a representative of the British Academy and the East Coast New York School. These are important sources of votes for the Academy's public relations..
Although he was only planning to stay for four days, intensive work still piled up. On the first day of his arrival in Berlin, Renly just met Andy Rogers. That night, Andy took a red-eye flight back to Los Angeles, where There are still countless tasks waiting for him to start.
Fortunately, Roy is now fully responsible for Renly's affairs. The Berlin Film Festival's itinerary design and work arrangements, including media coordination, etc., were all done smoothly and in one go. Especially "Transcendence" has achieved unimaginable success. After the reaction, the workload doubled immediately, but Renly still took the time to watch three movies. Roy was undoubtedly the most important behind-the-scenes push..
The car was like a submarine, sliding silently in the cold and desolate winter. Thick white snow piled up on both sides of the road. The whole world revealed layers of harshness, tough, rough, and vast, but on the surface There are countless possibilities hidden underneath.
Leaving Potsdamer Platz and arriving at Berlin International Airport seems to be just a moment of distraction. It is only a twenty-five-minute drive. If there were no traffic lights, it would probably be faster..
The driver steadily parked the car in the temporary parking space. Nathan and Roy got out of the car first, preparing to carry their luggage. Renly did not leave in a hurry. He leaned forward slightly, patted the backrest of the driver's seat and looked. He turned to the rearview mirror and met the driver's eyes, "Thank you. It was a pleasure to accompany you over the past four days, Mr. Schneider.".”
The so-called nobles are proud, but not arrogant; they are reserved, but not rude; they are egotistical, but not arrogant. The true noble etiquette knows how to treat everyone around them who provides services. people.
After saying that, Renly opened the unclosed car door and walked out. The airport was not as noisy as expected. At the film festival, the pick-up was lively, but the drop-off was cold. Because of the movie Due to the special schedule of the festival, actors or directors may leave every day. It is impossible for reporters to stay at the airport all the time and even take care of the drop-off..
“Zizzi, zizzi." The phone in his pocket began to vibrate. Roy took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, then said loudly, "Nathan, your passport and air ticket are here. You push your luggage in first. Come on, I'll take a call.”
Nathan put the luggage on the cart, turned around, took the passport and ticket from Roy, and signaled that there were two luggage in the trunk. Before Roy could answer, the driver turned around and walked over. , indicating that he could help, Nathan smiled and expressed his gratitude, then quickly walked forward and took the cart from Renly, "I'll do it..”
Walking into the busy airport hall, there was an endless stream of people coming and going. The coldness and solemnity of the outdoors were blocked outside the glass door, and the body gradually became warmer. With the help of the driver, all the luggage was pushed in. Blue Li stood guarding the luggage, while Nathan walked to the display screen next to him to check the number of the check-in counter and the boarding gate..
“Renly, let's go, the check-in counter is over there." Nathan ran over with a bright smile on his face, "Tell me, after we pass the customs, can we find a place to eat? I heard that the restaurants in Berlin Airport are really good. There are also delicacies from all over the world..”
“Airport restaurant? Are you sure? "Renly showed a suspicious look, obviously not buying it, but Nathan nodded repeatedly, with a sincere look on his face, "Really, really. Otherwise, I will try it first, and if it tastes good, I will recommend it to you.？”
Renly narrowed his eyes slightly, "You probably don't plan to try every restaurant, do you?？”
“Hehe, hehe." Nathan scratched his head, but didn't smile..
At this time, Roy also pushed open the glass door and walked in. He stopped the driver who was about to leave and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Then he saw the driver coming back and pushing the luggage next to Renly. Walking back. Neither Renly nor Nathan knew what was going on and looked at Roy..
Roy walked up quickly, with an unpredictable look on his face, and said resolutely, "Let's get back to the car first. There is a time limit for parking here. The German traffic police are absolutely punctual in issuing orders." Then he greeted. Nathan, “Quick, put the luggage in the trunk again..”
Renly stared at the three people in front of him dumbfounded, unable to stand firm on his heels, and then rolled out like a tornado, quickly putting all the luggage back into the trunk, as if he didn't even take a breath. Such a ridiculous scene makes people laugh..
Shaking his head, Renly left the airport without asking any questions and sat in the driver's seat again. Then he saw the driver sitting in first. Their eyes crossed in the rearview mirror, and Renly chuckled. He said politely, "Hey, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you." This British humor successfully made the German smile..
Immediately afterwards, Nathan and Roy hurriedly got into the car. The driver started the car and drove out in a hurry. The chaos was finally over for the time being..
Without waiting for Renly to ask, Roy took the initiative to confess, "It was Dieter Koslik 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 until the end of the Berlin Film Festival. In other words, the jury has not even begun to discuss the award, so naturally it is not an "award warning". So, what is going on?？
“Tomorrow there will be an exchange meeting for young German filmmakers. They will invite young actors, young directors, and young screenwriters from all over the world to gather together to share their projects, their experiences, and their expectations for this year’s film festival. Views." Roy then explained, "Dieter would like to invite you to attend.”
