806 Not a newcomer
The eleven-day Berlin Film Festival seemed so long, yet so short, just like a ray of sunshine falling on the palm of my hand in the harsh winter. It disappeared in the blink of an eye before it could retain its warmth. I couldn't help but close my palms. Trying to catch the tail of the sun, but it’s all in vain.
As a result, the red carpet of the main venue became the last carnival place for movie fans, with screams, shouts, and cheers all the time..
In fact, the closing ceremony and award ceremony are the most deserted and dull parts of the film festival..
Because the real top names, regardless of whether they have won the award or not, often choose to leave the film festival after attending the film premiere; at the award ceremony, it is not uncommon for the winners to be absent, even after the host committee confirms the list of winners , recalled again, still unable to save the dimming of the stars at the end of the day.
Not just Berlin, but Cannes and Venice too.
Tonight is no exception. The red carpet scene with less than 500 spectators is not even comparable to the premiere of "Transcendence" in Berlin, let alone the premiere of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster..
But the audience, which numbered only five hundred, became the envy of countless people, not only because Renly attended the closing ceremony, but also because Renly stayed on the red carpet for more than forty-five minutes, signing autographs, Hugs, photos, and all the fans’ wishes fulfilled in a friendly and friendly manner.
What's even more commendable is that Renly stopped many times and had brief exchanges with movie fans - he remembered all the movie fans he met by chance in the cinema, those movie fans who watched and argued about them together, and he even remembered them all. They chatted and laughed about the official venue journal’s evaluation of these works, and then launched into further in-depth discussions..
Such a small gesture, seemingly simple but extremely rare, successfully captured the hearts of the city of Berlin. Movie fans released their enthusiasm wildly and wildly; in this cold winter night with gusty winds, in this In the middle of the night with sub-zero temperatures, on this red carpet less than fifty meters away, the 62nd Berlin Film Festival ushered in its own moment..
Many years later, when people mentioned this event again, they suddenly seemed to have forgotten the winner of the Golden Bear Award and the works exhibited at that film festival, but they still clearly remembered: I had just turned 20. Two-year-old Renly attended the three major European film festivals for the first time, but showed no demeanor and attitude like a newcomer, and successfully won the support and enthusiasm of those art lovers..
that's a beginning.
“Renly, wait... Wow! "Red carpet host Klaus-Bock stopped Renly and tried to conduct a brief interview, but the cheers from the audience came one after another and couldn't stop at all. It was so majestic The noise didn't sound like 500 people at all. Even if it was 5,000 people, there would be no problem..
For the organizers, this is absolutely the best news. They even hope that the atmosphere at the scene can be more lively..
Klaus also had the same idea, so he asked the simplest, most clichéd, most common but also the most popular question, which once again pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax, "Welcome to Berlin. Not long ago , in the 'detached' press conference, you showed off your excellent language talent, so, I wonder if you know some German?？”
Renly showed slight surprise and smiled brightly, but he still nodded to the audience on both sides and said in standard German, "Good evening, Berlin." At this time, the audience was stunned. It completely exploded, the screams were out of control, and the entire red carpet burst into flames..
When each crew arrives in a different country to promote, it is a common practice around the world to learn a few local greetings to get closer to the audience. Renly teased at the press conference before, If he just greets "Hello", he can speak more than two hundred languages - two hundred is an exaggerated expression, but it also proves the popularity of such a trend..
“I don't know that the Berlin audience actually likes this kind of greeting." This was the reason why Renly was surprised. The Berlin Film Festival, which has always been aloof, was really unexpected. "If I had known this, I should have been there. Performance at the press conference. Maybe, the movie can get more praise.”
He made fun of the "detached" bipolar comments.
Such humor was instantly captured by the Germans. There was a burst of laughter all around, and some people even shouted directly, "If you don't look good, you don't look good. No matter how handsome you are, it's useless." This was followed by a lot of laughter..
Klaus was no exception. He couldn't control the smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. Because in these two sentences, Renly still used German. He was not the kind of person who just learned a "Hello, "Thank you" in German, but completed self-expression coherently, which is really amazing..
German is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world.
The reason why I say this is because the actual use of many languages is relatively simple. From level one to level six, it corresponds to simplicity to proficiency. After learning level one, you will be able to express some simple daily expressions, and with increasing As you advance to advanced level, your expression ability becomes more and more abundant and fluent; but not in German. Only by learning level 4 and above can you fully express yourself. Before that, except for self-introduction, it was extremely difficult to even open your mouth..
Just now, Renly expressed his thoughts completely and accurately, even mixed with humor..
“Renly, are you sure this is your first visit to Berlin? "Klaus couldn't help but exclaimed.
Renly showed a slight smile, "This means that my German teacher is indeed from Berlin." The subtext is: That's why his accent did not give away the details..
Instead of answering Klaus's question, he showed off in a roundabout way. His arrogant posture and a handy little humor once again aroused laughter from the audience - laughter from the Germans, so This grand occasion is really rare to see in many years..
Such enthusiastic support, such familiar social skills, and such appropriate humor. Standing on the red carpet, Renly looked at ease and contented. Not to mention newcomers attending the Berlin Film Festival for the first time, even those who have been here for many years. The performance of the veterans may not be any better..
British humor, German rigor, and American cheerfulness, Renly has truly become a rare and beautiful sight at the Berlin Film Festival. Klaus firmly believes that if Renly can continue to bring artistic works and continue to land in Berlin, then , he will become the darling of this city.
“At this year's film festival, you were seen in many cinemas. You must have watched a lot of works. Do you have any favorites among them? "Klaus continued the interview and switched back to English mode, trying to keep Renly on the red carpet..
“‘It's just the wind. I personally like the texture of the movie and the emotions revealed by the lens." Renly didn't hesitate and chose his favorite directly, and the content of his words was meaningful, "The perspective of the movie is also very special. Intriguing. I'll give it my vote if I can.”
Klaus thought that Renly would definitely mention "transcendence" in passing. More or less, actors always have to promote their works, but unexpectedly, Renly objectively selected himself as an audience member. My favorite. Think about it carefully, but it makes sense, "If you have the opportunity in the future, would you like to be a member of the jury? In this way, you can also vote for your favorite works..”
“Ha, far, far away in the future. Sure, why not? "Renly chuckled and emphasized "distant" twice in a row, implying that it couldn't be more obvious: this is his first trip to the Berlin Film Festival, there is no need to rush, "I am very willing to put my personal Share your artistic taste with everyone, and then explore the creative world of film art together.”
Klaus was surprised again. This time, he expressed it directly, "Are you sure you are only twenty-two years old?" The wisdom and composure shown by Renly, as well as his artistic taste, were nothing like it. young people.
“I have an old soul, just like 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'." Renly said half-truthfully, half-jokingly, whistles came from both sides of the red carpet, mixed with laughter and admiration, it was really jubilant.
After a while, Jake Gyllenhaal arrived on the red carpet.
At the closing ceremony, the appearance of the jury members was the highlight. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Jack and Renly chatted for a few words as if no one else was around, and expressed their greetings with laughter. Then Renly said goodbye and left. The attention and attention on the red carpet are all reserved for Jack.
“Master! Master! "The extremely excited and regretful voice still echoed in the air. Without any warning, Jack turned around and shouted loudly, "Master! "Then he imitated the appearance of a fanatical fan and continued to shout, "Master, I love you.！”
The sudden and earth-shattering shout caused a small circle of bystanders to be stunned. They looked at Jack in confusion, and then at Renly, who was full of confusion. The next second, everyone burst into laughter, Jack also had a mischievous expression on his face. He shook his head and turned around, looking at Klaus who was standing aside and turned into a stone statue. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened..
Immediately, Renly also understood and couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Jack's calm back, he chuckled and shook his head, and then quickly walked into the main venue. As soon as he entered, someone took the initiative to greet him and said hello. ——At the young filmmakers exchange meeting the day before yesterday, Renly actually made a lot of new friends..
Young people are always more simple, without the politeness and etiquette of social occasions, straightforward and pure and sincere. Although the Berlin Film Festival has gradually declined, German films have always remained at the forefront of European artistic creation. This is not impossible. cause.
Wave after wave, there was an endless stream of new friends surrounding Renly, and time passed quickly. It seemed that just as they arrived at the scene, the award ceremony was about to begin..
