Chapter 35 Film Festival

Capital.

At the entrance of an old community called Hetang in Chaoyang, Gan Tao, wrapped in a military coat, stood under the dim street lights with his arms strung with his arms.

He left his home on the sixth day of the lunar month. He first went to Haishi and then went north to Beijing. He went around all the way until this time, it was already the night of the eighth day of the lunar month.

The sweetheart who was about to wait had not arrived yet, but he welcomed a piece of snowflake that fell on his forehead. He sniffed his nose and looked up at the foggy sky.

The "dick" sound of high heels falling on the concrete floor came from the community gate. He turned his high head to hurriedly run out of the community, and his sweetheart with a turtle-necked white sweater straightened.

He took out his hands, which were covered with hot water, and hurriedly met him, looking at Gao Yuanyuan, who had not seen him for only a few months, and had long hair shawls: "Why don't you wear too much cotton jacket? It's snowing outside."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and complained to him, "Then why are you standing outside like a fool!"

He held her cold hands and said, "Why do you always learn from me and want to learn from my hometown dialect? One day I will take you back for a walk."

Under the drifting snowflakes, she showed a hint of shyness and said coquettishly: "I think beautiful!"

"Walk forward, there will be people here."

He unbuttoned the military coat, held her in his arms, and smiled and said, "Just that, you wear so little, you will go back later. And I have to find a place to live, or you have to take me in at night."

Although the two are in a passionate love stage, they have not reached the level of getting married yet. He has never even told his family about having a girlfriend. It is estimated that Gao Yuanyuan is too. After all, he is still young, one is 19 and the other is only 22.

Gao Yuanyuan buried his head in his chest without responding. He put his chin on her head, smelled the fragrance emitted by her hair and said, "Hey, I saw the advertisement for clearing your mouth on TV. You are so popular now, and many people praise you for being beautiful."

He said nothing adulterated. In 2000, Gao Yuanyuan gained fame even more than the two movies she participated in, and the word "goddess" appeared.

She looked up at him: "Then do you praise me?"

"What do you think?"

Before he could finish his words, he opened his mouth and kissed her thin and cold lips.

After a long period of passionate kiss, the two of them breathed rapidly, which showed that both of them were moved.

She hugged his strong waist and murmured: "Are you familiar with this place? If you are not familiar with it, I will accompany you to find a hotel."

He said, "What should you do with your family?"

She whispered like mosquitoes and flies: "I'll call you later and say I'll stay at my classmate's house for one night."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then go."

Taking off his coat and wrapping Gao Yuanyuan tightly, twisting up the travel bag at his feet, and the two of them took their hands and disappeared into the increasingly expedited snowflakes.

The lights of the hotel in front of him were flashing. He twisted his bag and pulled Gao Yuanyuan to the magnificent hotel lobby: "Live this one."

Gao Yuanyuan hesitated and said, "It's been hundreds of this night."

He said firmly: "I can live even a thousand today."

The two got together after several months, and when they started work, they were all over the world. They couldn't always let her follow her and live in a small hotel where she even had to get water for herself even when taking a bath.

Besides, he is not without money now.

When filming "Women's Soup", Zhou Yi talked to him about the pay of 5,000 yuan per episode, and his role lasted 17 episodes.

Although he only received 60% of the company's film pay, it was more than 50,000 yuan.

It was a rare luxury. He was no longer worried about money, so he asked the hotel to send dinner and even ordered more than 1,000 bottles of red wine.

(It is not suitable for children, omitted!)

Afterwards, Gao Yuanyuan went from his flawless pretty face to his smooth body with a layer of blush. He hugged her and said, "Why didn't the producer ask you to go to Berlin?"

Gao Yuanyuan, who was lying lazily on his chest, said, "It's okay to say that he has fewer scenes, but he has to spend money by himself. I don't want to spend money in vain."

He nodded and said, "That's true. If I were asked to spend my own money, I wouldn't go, the things over there would definitely be expensive."

She asked, "When will you leave?"

He said: "On February 5th, there are three days left. At that time, we will meet with Wang Shuai and Li Bing at the airport, and producer Jiao Xiongping will leave from Taipei."

She said, "Then I will accompany you to buy clothes tomorrow."

He yelled: "Then I will give all my more than 100 kilograms of meat in the past two days."

Her slender right hand caught a hand in the quilt: "Who wants you such rough meat?"

(The following should not be suitable for children, omitted!)

On February 5, the Beijing International Airport was a bit deserted. There were not many ordinary people who could go abroad these days, but it solved the problem of finding people for Gan Tao.

From a distance, I saw Wang Shuai who kept turning around. He quickly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Director Wang, Dao Wang."

“When did it come?”

He said, "He came early in the morning. Before he could wait at the door, he ran to the hall and sat for a while."

After Li Bing arrived, the boarding time was approaching. After completing the procedure, he and Li Bing followed Wang Shuai in step.

After boarding the plane, Wang Shuai looked at him as anxious as a monkey and asked him, "The first time I took a seat?"

He wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and said nervously: "Yes."

Whether from south to north, or from north to south, he has always taken the train. On the one hand, the lack of economic ability is one, but more importantly, he is afraid of heights.

And he always feels that the airplane is not safe. If the train fails, it is still on the ground and he can choose to save himself or something.

If something happens to the plane, you will really spread your hands and prepare to go to the arms of the King of Hell honestly.

Wang Shuai, who was sitting next to him, saw that he was tense and said, "Airplane is the safest means of transportation, just be used to it."

He nodded, and just relaxed, and the sound of prompting the plane to enter the runway and was about to take off, and he instantly tensed up again.

Wang Shuai was speechless: "You said it earlier, I would like to change my seat with you and let you sit next to you."

He was about to say that it was okay, but his intuition felt a panic in his chest, and what he wanted to say instantly drowns in his chest.

The journey from Beijing to Berlin was very unfriendly to Gan Tao. Due to fear of heights, he couldn't eat or sleep along the way. Sometimes he encountered airflow and the plane was bumpy, he had to be stiff for a while.

He was so worried that the passenger plane landed safely in East Berlin. His eyes were red and exhausted. The joy of participating in the International Film Festival for the first time disappeared.

After smoking two cigarettes in the airport smoking area, he was a little more energetic and followed Wang Shuai aimlessly outside the airport.

After rushing to the station and taking a train for a few hours, the three of them met Jiao Xiongping, the producer of "Bicycle", in the booked hotel.

After he came forward to say hello, he and Li Bing went back to the room first.

The decoration of the room is very European. Apart from the white bed sheets, the others are bright in color, and there are several abstract oil paintings on the walls.

Since it was a double bed, it must be three people living there. He pointed to the bed beside the window and asked Li Bing: "Let's sleep with this one?"

Li Bing said: "You can say whatever you want, I can do it."

He pulled out his travel bag, gave Gao Yuanyuan a suit, hung it up and hung it on the clothes hanger next to him: "We two are in the same year, why are you going to give it back to you?"

After dozens of hours of travel, the few people were very tired, and they ate something quickly and went to bed.

The next day, on February 7th, the Chinese Lunar Lantern Festival, the 51st Berlin International Film Festival officially opened in the movie palace at the intersection of East and West Berlin.

There were no golden palm trees, no beaches, no champagne and wine, only the drizzle of floating and even mixed with broken ice. Gan Tao, who was frozen in a suit, was shivering when he was waiting to walk the opening red carpet.

Pulling the red nose, he secretly cursed the ghost weather and the birds singing, and then walked to the red carpet in front of him with Wang Shuai and Li Bing.

No photographer was willing to waste film for the three black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese, nor did they pretend to wave their hands to the fans outside the red carpet, and just walked all the way to the end of the red carpet with sex.

The red carpet process is over. Since there are no eye-opening reporters coming to interview them, the rest of the time is left to play freely.

There are not many places where you can play freely, and the weather is so cold that you can only choose to watch movies except to go back to sleep.

He ran to buy three tickets for the opening film "The Soldiers Are Coming to the City" and invited Wang Shuai and Li Bing to watch the movie.

Wang Shuai asked him: "How much is the ticket price this year?"

He said in pain: "Fourteen ones."

The three tickets cost dozens of euros, equivalent to hundreds of yuan. The 1,000 euros he exchanged in Beijing, and when he returned 10 days later, there was probably not much left.

There are two floors in the Movie Palace, one floor is full of films selling and buying movies. If you find a popular movie, it is not impossible to get rich.

On the second floor are a screening room, both big and small. The "Soldiers Are Coming to the City" they want to watch is a screening room with 2,000 seats on the second floor.

The 2,000-seat hall was almost completely filled. He looked at the many heads of Yingying Zhuozhuo and said to Wang Shuai beside him: "This movie is going to be popular, so many people are watching it."

Wang Shuai said: "With local advantages and the claimed investment amount is as high as 80 million US dollars, we are preparing to compete with Hollywood movies, so there are naturally more people watching it."

Gan Tao smiled unanimously.

From the opening of the film market outside of America by Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" to the full invasion of James Cameron's "Titanic", the film market outside of America has been occupied by Hollywood industrial films.

Southeast Asia is the most important.

The Hong Kong films that were once popular in Southeast Asia and even sold to Europe in the 1980s were defeated.

Now even retreating is hard to sustain. Influential Xiangjiang filmmakers have joined forces to ask the domestic market to relax the purchase restrictions on Xiangjiang films.

It’s still being discussed now. I wonder if the 10 pieces stipulated each year will increase.

Xiangjiang film workers went north to make a living. The entry of a large number of artists from Xiangjiang, Taipei, and even Korean makes it more and more difficult for domestic local artists to make it difficult for them to make their debut.

Speaking of which, he is also one of the victims!

The magnificent war scene is worth 14 euros, and Gan Tao thinks the video is pretty good.

As for the deeper things reflected in the film, he couldn't understand them.
