That year Huayu

Chapter 753 Red carpet, a big deal

In the morning, news came from China, and Jackie Chan, who was in Berlin, was put at the forefront.

Just because in the first half of last night, that is, in the early morning of the second half of the night domestic time, Prince Long was released.

However, in order to avoid being chased and intercepted by a large number of squatting media, the vehicle that picked up the passengers ran through nearly ten red lights in the capital, speeding all the way, and the scene was thrilling, comparable to a speeding movie.

The final result is that less than three or four hours after Prince Long came out, he was on the entertainment headlines of major portal websites and became a hot search topic.

In addition, he was named on the official WeChat account of the capital's traffic police department, and many official media followed suit and reported criticism.

Incidents have piled up before and after, and the public opinion on the Internet is not good.

So much so that Jackie Chan, who was far away in Berlin, was once again the target of "verbal and written criticism".

Because it is the fault of a poor parent, and this "extremely arrogant" driver must be his employee.

Lin Nan could imagine how upset Jackie Chan was right now. After all, "Army" was about to be released, and there were so many events to attend every day.

The eldest brother will definitely not be able to avoid the media cameras. He can only bite the bullet and appear on camera and accept interviews. Related issues will definitely be mentioned!

"I heard Fan Bingbing and others said that "One Step Away" was asked to stop screening?"

When Liu Yifei came back from participating in activities outside, she was a little surprised when she told Lin Nan about it.

"Well, that's right. "Manchester by the Sea" is only scheduled for seven shows, so after seven shows, it will naturally not be shown again.

But "One Step Away"? It's really sad to say that no one is watching, so wouldn't it be withdrawn?

The Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee does not allow venue resources to be wasted. After all, there are many movies that cannot be scheduled. "

Lin Nan smiled and explained that he had just found out not long ago.

And that's not all. I heard that when "One Step Away" was screened for the first time, the seats were packed at first.

Because it was Jiang Wen's movie, many foreign filmmakers came here to see it.

But when the movie was only halfway through, nearly 50% of the people watching the movie had already left; in the end, less than 30% had finished watching "One Step Away".

More than 70% of the filmmakers and media people who watched the movie couldn't stand it and left midway because they really couldn't understand and had no clue.

"One Step Away" has been like this these days. The number of moviegoers is getting smaller and smaller, until there are only one or two people or the venue is empty, and then... nothing more.

"Is this a big blow to Director Jiang?"

Liu Yifei smiled sadly, with a trace of sympathy on her face.

"It's okay, he's very capable of resisting beatings. At most, he can just curse and curse for a while, haha..."

Lin Nan threw aside the list of film producers sent by Tom, stretched and stood up from the sofa.

"I finally waited until you came back. Why don't you go out with me? Oh, by the way, Leon's flight will arrive in the afternoon. We have to prepare for the closing red carpet and award ceremony the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, wait until I change into a pair of casual shoes. In addition, I've already prepared those for the red carpet at the closing ceremony."

Liu Yifei responded with a smile, and then walked to the shoe rack on high heels.

She has not been idle these days. The activities of various brands are getting more and more intensive. There are also many female stars in the show, but she is the one who is surrounded.

…………

The Berlin International Film Festival has come to an end, but it is also the most exciting and exciting time, because of the red carpet and the awards ceremony.

The film festival program catalog lists detailed information on all the films shortlisted for the main competition unit, with "Manchester by the Sea" on the front page.

A large number of media and film critics have even made "predictions" about these movies. There is no doubt that Lin Nan and "Manchester by the Sea" are the favorites to win the award.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Leonardo came to Berlin again from the crew of "The Revenant", and this was the first time that several people gathered here.

"It's only been a month since I last saw you. You seem to have lost a lot of weight? There are still some changes..."

When Lin Nan saw Leonardo, he couldn't help but exclaimed. Liu Yifei also kept nodding her head and sighed: "Really, there have been great changes."

Matt and Jessica had been surprised more than a week ago, and now they were watching Lin Nan's shocked expressions and laughing constantly.

"Lin, Crystal, you have no idea how 'painful' this "The Revenant" is. This is the most tortured movie I have ever made, bar none. There are a lot of external scenes, and the body is a bit overwhelmed. "

Leonardo smiled helplessly, and then said meaningfully:

"But it's okay, isn't that what the people in the academy want from me? This time, I'll satisfy them. I played the role of a "tramp" hunter who was extremely slovenly and almost went crazy after being tortured, haha..."

"Leon has completely ruined his image this time."

Matt Damon joked that he and Leonardo both debuted as "idols". In the eyes of the academy, this is the biggest disadvantage and they are always treated differently!

"Maybe I can win the Best Actor Oscar for The Revenant... Oh no, I will win the Best Actor Oscar again! What do you think, Lin?"

Leonardo made a rare joke about the "Little Golden Man".

This shows that he is full of confidence in both "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant", even better than his previous works!

"In nine days, won't we know the result of Oscar?"

Lin Nan didn't dare to guarantee it, so he had better keep an expectant attitude.

The closer we get to the end, the faster time passes.

Two days disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Domestic films brought to Berlin for copyright transactions have more or less found some buyers and completed the transactions.

As for the price, each one is kept more secret than the other, and it is extremely low-key.

Early in the morning on the 15th, the entire Berlin International Film Festival was in a state of excitement.

A large number of media, filmmakers, crews, actors, stars and celebrities from all over the world are waiting for the red carpet of the closing ceremony in the afternoon.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were not prepared to step out of the hotel door before the red carpet because there were reporters outside.

For the award-winning movie crew, the media is busy today!

In the room, Liu Yifei was video chatting with Shu Chang on her tablet, laughing and joking, while she was also waiting for the team of stylists and makeup artists.

In addition, dresses and jewelry will also be delivered before noon, and will be escorted by dedicated personnel!

Lin Nan was on the side talking to La Peikang on the phone.

"This trip, everyone is not very optimistic. I heard reports from people below that only the copyright of "Heavenly Generals" seems to be selling well, with eight figures and US dollars. Ren Zhonglun is definitely very happy at the moment.

Jiang Wen is stubborn again and scolds reporters publicly. The copyright of "One Step Away" seems to be a bit unsatisfactory..."

Lin Nan was stunned. What happened that he didn't know about?

"What happened to Director Jiang?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"You don't know? Yesterday afternoon, he and his crew were interviewed by domestic media and held a roundtable discussion.

The reporters all asked about "One Step Away" during the film festival. The filmmakers left the show midway and were not optimistic about it, and the film producers were scorned. His mentality may be a little unbalanced, and his tone is very rude.

When asked about Feng Xiaogang's debate about variety movies, he started scolding him directly, saying that he didn't care about such messy things, and that both groups were actually just after money.

It's not a good thing to scold a reporter for having bad intentions and using such deep-water questions to drag him into the water and make him offend the Film Association or other parties... In the end, he seemed to have forcibly terminated the interview and left directly. At this moment, the media's pen is like a knife, stabbing him. "

After listening to La Peikang's words, Lin Nan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at this, Jiang Wen's mentality was indeed a bit broken.

"He, hey, forget it."

Lin Nan hesitated to speak, sympathizing with Jiang Wen!

"Let me remind you, when you return to China, you probably won't be able to avoid the 'variety movie' controversy. Now the entire film industry in the mainland is at war."

La Peikang said kindly, but couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you La Dong, I know."

"I think I only have your movie rights now. They haven't been sold yet, right?"

"I'm waiting for the results tonight."

After asking and answering, La Peikang understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words - there is a prize!

"Okay! We will all attend the award ceremony. When the time comes, it's up to you!"

"Then don't have high expectations, I'm afraid of being slapped in the face, haha..."

The red carpet of the Berlin International Film Festival is no longer available in China.

Because it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the closing ceremony red carpet started, it was already 12 o'clock in the evening in China.

But when you wake up, you can directly see the award results!

At noon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had lunch in the room. Jessica and others would come over from time to time to visit.

The team of stylists and makeup artists also took the time to fill their stomachs in the hotel. Because there will be two or three hours of busy time, standing there applying makeup and styling Liu Yifei.

"Crystal's dress is so beautiful. Well, she is obviously yellow, but she is so white...and her skin is so good..."

Jessica leaned against the door frame with a sigh on her face.

"Hey, Lin's skin is also much better than when I was 30 years old. This is a racial advantage, but they are both better."

Matt Damon, already dressed in a suit for the red carpet and awards show this afternoon, interrupted.

"You two, are you very free? Do you want some more food? The award ceremony won't end until 10 o'clock in the evening. You will be hungry before the dinner."

Lin Nan pointed to the dumplings on the table and invited. He has prepared chocolates for himself and Miss Liu in advance.

Liu Yifei smiled and picked up the last one and put it into her mouth. She only eats five dumplings and cannot eat more. Today's dress is very slim.

"Don't worry, I have chocolate candies for everyone."

At this time, Leonardo also ran over. As expected of an old man at the award ceremony, he is equally experienced!

Near one o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei sat in front of the dressing mirror, and the makeup artist and stylist began to work.

What is certain is that all the female celebrities are doing the same thing at the moment, which is two to three hours of makeup.

In China, the film and television circles, entertainment circles and the Internet are also paying attention to the news in Berlin besides the Spring Festival Gala. The headlines and hot searches are constantly refreshing.

"There are less than 4 hours left until the red carpet for the closing ceremony of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival. In addition to the crew of "One Step Away", multiple Chinese filmmakers and crews have also been invited to step onto the red carpet in Berlin..."

"China Film Group sent back an announcement: During the Berlin International Film Festival, China Film Group has decided to introduce the Disney princess series live-action film "Cinderella", the introduction of Warner's science fiction action masterpiece "Jupiter Ascending", the introduction of "Fast and Furious 7", the introduction of "Revenge" 2" and introduced "Jurassic World" and many other Hollywood blockbusters."

"Director Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea" will compete with director Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" for the Golden Bear Award. Both parties are both enemies and friends."

"Whether a seventh Golden Bear director will be born in the Chinese film industry will be revealed before five o'clock tomorrow morning, domestic time."

"It has been 10 years since Director Lin Nan competed for the Golden Bear Award for the first time... Can he successfully win the gold for the third time..."

"It's been 10 years? It's really interesting."

Han Sanping watched the evening news and couldn't help but sigh.

"What happened to 10 years?"

Wearing home clothes and cotton slippers, the "Eldest Princess" Han Jianu wandered from the kitchen to the living room carrying a fruit plate.

Mr. Han frowned when he looked at his daughter who looked nothing like a lady, but he had no choice but to find this was the only "little cotton-padded jacket".

"Ten years ago, Lin Nan won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival for his film "Into the Dust." It was his first international film festival award and the first for a great director. beginning.

But that same year, he and Gu Changwei, who won the jury award together, were fooled by the golden rooster. One won nothing, and the other only got a female supporting role award..."

Han Sanping recalled and explained.

Han Jianu placed the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of her biological father, and the latter nodded happily.

"So Senior Brother Lin and Director Gu didn't even attend the dinner that day, they just left the show midway, and the film and television industry and the media immediately exploded.

It's just that Director Gu was older, flexible and flexible, and finally endured it, and then used "The Beginning of Spring" to win the Golden Rooster Film Queen for his wife. Only Brother Lin never talked to the Golden Rooster again? "

Han Jianu had heard about these things over the years and was very angry for Lin Nan.

"Yeah. That's why I said it's interesting. Ten years later, he sprinted for the Golden Bear for the third time. And what about the Golden Rooster? In turn, he asked for help. Haha, tell me, isn't it interesting?"

Han Sanping smiled, and Han Jianu nodded decisively and said, "Brother Lin, it's better not to go to Jinji. Those old guys are so worried..."

Good guy, Mr. Han, who was just happy that his daughter was a little filial, suddenly turned dark after hearing these words.

"Say, it's Chinese New Year, why are you running around with nothing to do? As a girl, you can go there for several days, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve!"

Han Sanping had a cold face and started looking for trouble.

If he doesn't take care of this daughter, sooner or later things will turn upside down... He seems to have forgotten that he has never taken care of her!

When her father changed his tone to a stern tone, Han Jia Nyeo didn't panic at all.

She sat on the sofa, crossed her legs carelessly, and said mysteriously and excitedly:

"I heard a very...well, meaningful, contradictory, and conflicting news a few days ago. I have been looking for information these days. After the New Year, I have to inquire again and search carefully. …

Believe me, Lao Han, I am determined to do a big job! "

Han Jianu patted her father on the shoulder and said confidently. At this moment, her self-confidence was through the roof.

Han Sanping pressed his eyebrows, speechless to the extreme. Why did this happen?

"You? Still doing something big? Why don't you become a bandit?"

"Aren't you a mountain eagle? I'm just..."

Han Jianu's voice became softer and softer, because her father seemed to be really angry, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

After sighing, Han Sanping looked at Han Jianu and suggested: "Looking back, I'll find Lin Nan and ask you to sign with his company to become a director?"

"Don't do it!"

…………

The pink dress with hollow patterns clings to Liu Yifei's body, making her fairer, more delicate and charming.

Bright red lips with heavy makeup, paired with a tall round head and platinum diamond earrings, make her look conservative yet coquettish, pure and sweet yet cool.

Her temperament, appearance, figure, height and many other advantages were perfectly displayed at this moment.

The long eyelashes fluttered gently, and those dark eyes were extremely smart and tender, as if, no, they could definitely speak!

"Okay, okay, stop showing off, I know you are beautiful and good-looking. If you look at me twice more, I won't be able to hold it anymore, haha..."

Lin Nan teased herself, but her eyes did not move away from Liu Yifei for a second.

Even though the makeup artists, stylists and assistants had known for a long time that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei loved to show off, they still couldn't help but laugh at this moment, finding it very sweet.

"Lin Nan, I haven't changed my shoes yet."

Liu Yifei's voice was soft and charming, and she stretched out her feet from under her skirt, wearing white slippers.

"Yes, I understand, I'll do it."

Lin Nan smiled and took out a pair of crystal high heels from the box next to him. Good guys, they were also studded with diamonds.

He walked up to Liu Yifei and slowly squatted down. The latter stretched out her white, tender and small feet in response.

Lin Nan has touched it countless times, but still feels it is not enough. It feels smooth and comfortable.

Two minutes later, Liu Yifei, who put on high heels, was half a head taller. It looks even more cold and independent.

"Wow, Lin, you are the most perfect boyfriend and husband! You actually put on Crystal's shoes yourself, just like a prince in a fairy tale."

Jessica, wearing a golden strapless dress, stood at the door like a "fool" discovering a new world.

"Jessica, I give you full marks for your acting skills! Besides, this flattery makes me feel so disgusted." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, held Lin Nan with one arm and smiled brightly, "Yes, he is the best Lin Nan and only belongs to me!"

"As soon as we walked to the door, we heard such a 'affectionate' confession. Leon and I couldn't bear it. Who is this? Oh, it's Crystal!"

Matt Damon joked with a smile, and next to him was Leonardo. Well, there is still a chubby Tom in the back!

"Lin, Crystal, the organizing committee informed us that we can set off, it's going to be four o'clock soon."

"Then let's go, everyone."

Lin Nan said, taking Liu Yifei's hand.

"Let's go, there are several bears waiting for us!"

At this Berlin International Film Festival, not only the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" stayed at the Tagore Berlin Victory Palace Hotel.

When Lin Nan and the five people came downstairs surrounded by assistants and bodyguards, there were other crews preparing to set off.

After the two parties simply nodded hello, they got into their cars.

This time is different from previous Golden Globe Awards.

Lin Nan shared a car with Liu Yifei and Jessica, while Leonardo and Matt Damon shared a car.

The only ones parked in front of the red carpet were these two cars.

Who made the Berlin International Film Festival’s red carpet so big? In order to plan time, it is a good way to reduce the number of unnecessary vehicles.

Traffic flows from all directions in Berlin, heading towards the venue where the film festival awards ceremony will be held.

The dozens of meters of red carpet were surrounded by security personnel and countless media reporters.

But at a glance, Wuyangyang movie fans and tourists and fans from all over the world are the main force.

The shouts were deafening. Support cards, celebrity posters, etc., with no end in sight.

Although the closing ceremony red carpet started at 4:30, Lin Nan and others did not arrive until after 6:00.

But it doesn't matter, it's not too late at all. Who made "Manchester by the Sea" the film shortlisted for the main competition? The order of appearance was originally very low.

By this time, it was getting dark. Outside the red carpet, the lights were as bright as day.

Crews, filmmakers, actors and stars... walked onto the red carpet amidst the roar of the crowd.

Two cars stopped in front of the red carpet. Lin Nan stepped out first, and then helped Liu Yifei and Jessica get out of the car.

Leonardo and Matt Damon also came over.

The popularity of the five people is obviously very explosive!

Lin Nan could clearly hear the names of five of his people being called. He was in Berlin and he was also an old man!

"Lin, please come with me to the waiting area."

"Yes. Sissi, let's go."

"okay."

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand tightly, and the latter had a sweet smile on his face.

There are many domestic filmmakers in the waiting area. Although he did not participate in the competition, he was still a guest at the ceremony.

…At a glance, it’s easy to find familiar faces and figures.

La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun, Ge You... Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao... Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Chen Kun, Feng Shaofeng...

"Lin Nan."

"Director Lin, Yifei."

"Director Lin, Yifei."

Many people greeted him from a distance, and it was inconvenient to get close because Lin Nan was in a crew format.

As time passed, the number of people in the waiting area continued to walk on the red carpet, and there were fewer and fewer people.

Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Nan, feeling a little sleepy.

"It's almost eight o'clock, Lin Nan."

"Well, it should be soon."

"Lin, here we come." Leonardo reminded.

Following the staff, the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" officially walked on the red carpet at the closing ceremony of this Berlin Film Festival.

"Director Lin, Yifei, come on, it's up to you!"

"Liu Yifei..."

"Director Lin, please do your best!"

Familiar and pleasant Chinese can always cheer people up.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei kept smiling and waving.

"...the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" walked on the red carpet, and the lineup was extremely luxurious.

They are two-time Silver Bear Award winner for Best Director, director Lin Nan; former Silver Bear Award winner for Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain…”

As a film shortlisted for the main competition, Lin Nan and others must be interviewed on the red carpet.

"Lin, welcome back to Berlin. How confident are you in competing for the Golden Bear for the third time in 10 years?"

The red carpet host asked with a smile, Lin Nan is an old friend of Berlin.

"Confidence? This time, I came with my fiancée. This is my emphasis on returning to Berlin again, and my ambition for the Golden Bear. I hope the girls around me can see me taking over the Golden Bear.

Of course, this is my expectation. As for the final result, I think it shouldn't be too bad. "

The host was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously:

"Very sincere, very romantic... I wish you success, friend of the Berlin Film Festival."

"Thanks."

Liu Yifei felt very sweet and happily followed Lin Nan. The two of them clasped their fingers and walked towards the end of the red carpet step by step.

…………

Sitting with the crew of "One Step Away" was something Lin Nan never expected. Isn't this purely stimulating to Director Jiang Wen?

After waving hello to La Peikang, Jackie Chan and others in the distance, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and others to sit in the middle of the venue.

On Lin Nan's left were Liu Yifei, Jessica and others, and on her right were Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun, Hong Yan and others.

"Don't look at me like that, I won't be jealous of you!"

Jiang Wen said without any emotion in his tone, it was a bit cold.

"Director Jiang, don't you realize that your choice of words reveals your mentality?"

"Um?"

"In the past, you would have said: 'Don't look at me like that, brother, I won't be jealous of you.' If you miss two words, isn't this just a bad mood? Haha..."

Jiang Wen was exposed and had a cold face.

Liu Yifei and Zhou Yun next to them could not stop laughing again.

"Director Lin, please stop irritating our Director Jiang."

"Okay, listen to Sister Zhou."

Lin Nan decisively changed the topic and talked about Jiang Wen's interview, but was treated coldly for a while.

It wasn't until almost nine o'clock in the evening that the performance above finally ended.

"Let's get to the point, Lin Nan. I'll see what you can get tonight." Jiang Wen looked at the stage and said seriously.

At this time, everyone on the field was attentive.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei hold each other's hands and look forward to good luck.

"Winner of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts: "Victoria" by Stura Brandt Gjolfren"

Lin Nan clapped along with everyone else.

He and Liu Yifei bit their ears, "When Brother Li Yang and I came here for the first time, "Blind Shaft" won this trophy, and I got my first pot of gold."

"Yeah, I know. Director Li Yang also helped you find investment in Shangyingla." Liu Yifei nodded lightly. She knew all about Lin Nan's past.

"Yes, he is my guide. Without him, I may have to take many more detours."

"Winner of the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award: Jero Bustamante, "Life Under the Volcano," congratulations!"

“Best Feature Film Debut Winner: Gabriel Lipstein, ‘600 Miles’ Congratulations!”

Awards are announced and awarded one by one, from small to large.

After a long time, we finally came to the core award, which is also one of the awards that "Manchester by the Sea" is striving for.

"Jessica, don't be nervous, I'm not nervous either." Matt Damon joked.

"There is no Best Supporting Actor Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. Supporting Actor and Leading Actor both compete for the Best Actor Award. It's impossible for you to compete with Leon for Best Actor. You must not be nervous!"

Jessica Chastain shot back angrily.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the award for Best Actress announced on the stage:

"Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress: Charlotte Rampling, "45 Years", congratulations!"

For a moment, Jessica Chastain froze as if struck by thunder.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and couldn't help feeling sorry. Leonardo and Matt were both silent.

Immediately, everyone comforted Jessica: "Don't be discouraged, there will be Oscar later..."
