Chapter 241 The Journey to Capture the Bear
It's not that no one cares about the crew of "Youth in Youth" who stepped on the red carpet in the movie palace.

"Youth in Youth" even if there are no big stars.

Directors and actors are also new faces at the three major European film festivals.

But "Youth in Youth" somehow broke through the siege and was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Besides, Liu Qianqian, Liu Sishi, Ni Ni, and Jiang Yiyan, the little followers behind Fang Nan, were all young and beautiful.

Beauty, no matter where it is, it always attracts more people's attention.

What's more, there are quite a few domestic media coming to the film festival this time.

The official media of the film festival will not embarrass the teams shortlisted for the main competition.

Therefore, when they walked to the media area at the first corner of the red carpet, more media reporters called Fang Nan and others to turn around and take pictures.

Fang Nan saw French, English, German, and Chinese in the shouts, he hurriedly directed Liu Qianqian and others behind him to step forward and stand in a row with him for the media to take pictures.

He and Chen Kun stood at the two ends, and Liu Qianqian was in the middle. The six of them had just put their arms around each other's waists. Fang Nan couldn't help saying to Liu Qianqian beside him, "Relax, your body is tense, like an iron plate."

"I'm already very relaxed. Sishi's waist is harder than mine, like marble."

Fang Nan jumped over Liu Qianqian and glanced at Liu Sishi, seeing that a thin layer of sweat was forming on her tense forehead, he was speechless.

Next to Si Shi, Ni Ni, who is usually in a hurry, is not much better this time.

Standing straight, like a human sculpture, the smile on his face can be as fake as it is.

Fang Nan, who was watching, kept sighing, "The coercion of the International Film Festival is so terrifying"!
Fortunately, they didn't stay for long. After the media took a round of photos, the guide signaled Fang Nan and the others to move forward.

In the second media and audience area, the preferential treatment for Fang Nan and others disappeared.

The media reporters here spent money to occupy the position, and came for the sales of the magazine, so they naturally didn't want to waste the film on Fang Nan and other unknown people.

Unless a few of them are willing to use their falls and accidental exposure to make big news.

An Ran walked the red carpet.

Liu Sishi, Ni Ni, and Jiang Yiyan didn't want to watch the opening film "La Vie en Rose", so they went back to change clothes and went shopping in Berlin. Fang Nan, Liu Qianqian, and Chen Kun chose to go to the theater to watch the movie.

There are not many guests who are willing to step on the minus five degrees red carpet.

So the opening film, the biopic La Vie en Rose, co-produced by France, England, and the Czech Republic, begins soon.

The film tells the legendary life of French national treasure singer Edith Piaf.

In the movie, the legendary singer was first abandoned by his mother when he was a child, then sent to a brothel by his father to be raised by his grandmother, and then forcibly taken away to live in a circus after his father retired from the army.

When I grew up, I also had a very entangled relationship with a boxer, and people who watched it were very smart.

But Fang Nan didn't like such movies very much.

It's not that the plot of the movie is too deep, but that the picture is too rough and dark.

In order to get close to the living environment at that time, the director basically processed every shot in the film very dark, making the picture blurry and difficult to watch.

He hated appreciating such films the most.

Just like he doesn't like to watch the shaky movies of some domestic directors of the fifth and sixth generations.

At the end of the movie, Chen Kun said to Fang Nan and Liu Qianqian: "I seem to have heard the whole song of "La Vie en Rose" somewhere."

Liu Qianqian cheered up, "Hepburn sang it."

Chen Kun was inexplicable: "Which Hepburn?"

"Audrey Hepburn!" Liu Qianqian looked admiring, and almost said that Hepburn was her idol.

Seeing that Chen Kun was still frowning, Fang Nan gave the answer with a smile: "Feng Dapao's "A World Without Thieves" ending song is a cover of "La Vie en Rose"!"

Chen Kun suddenly became enlightened: "Director, you are amazing! I think I have heard similar pieces somewhere in China."

Fang Nan smiled noncommittally.

Whether he is powerful or not, he doesn't know.

It is true that I read countless movies in two lifetimes.

After "Life in Roses" ended, Liu Qianqian, who felt cold, wanted to go back and change clothes. Chen Kun was going to taste the barbecue on the dining car outside. Originally, Fang Nan wanted to go to the nearby Sony Center to look at the camera, so he had to accompany Liu Qianqian back to the villa.

Security has been tightened in Berlin during the film festival.

But there are also thieves who do the opposite, and it is safer to go together.

After leaving the movie palace, Liu Qianqian shook her hands and stamped her feet, her arms were frozen blue, Fang Nan had no choice but to put her own suit on her.

Then she smiled "puchi" for no reason at Liu Qianqian's sparrow tail-like braid.

Liu Qianqian looked at Fang Nan in confusion.

As soon as she felt the warmth brought by the hormonal cotton suit, Fang Nan did it in horror.

Is this stupid?

"Let's go, I'm just laughing. I didn't expect "Youth in Youth" to be shortlisted for the main competition." Fang Nan said perfunctorily.

What he said was not all perfunctory.

He was really happy that his first genre film "Youth in Youth" was directly shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival.

But what really made him laugh out loud was Liu Qianqian's little braid.

Reminiscent of the long-haired Tianxian, Baozi Liu, and Liu Qianqian, who was suppressed by all the little girls who could barely lift their heads, he made this look in Yuanshikong. He couldn't hold back for a moment, so he laughed out loud.

Liu Qianqian nodded her head confidently: "Brother Nan, do you think our movie will win an award in the end?"

"Who knows, do your best and obey the destiny. In the end, it depends on the tastes of the judges, but being shortlisted for the main competition is already very impressive. So, don't think too much, you are only in your teens, and you have a long way to go. If you don’t win the prize this time, you will win it next time.”

In the three major European film festivals, as long as the work is shortlisted in the main competition unit, the director and actors of the film will automatically be nominated for awards such as best director and best actor and actress.

Therefore, the films shortlisted for the main competition are really good!

Not only did Liu Qianqian not accept Fang Nan's encouragement, she even rolled her eyes: "I'm still in my teens? I'm 20, okay? Xiao Zhuo is already two years old, and you're going to be an old man at 28."

Fang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

Compared with women's age, awards and so on, age is obviously more concerned.

Taking a closer look at Liu Qianqian's thin cheeks, Fang Nan smacked his lips and sighed, "Yeah, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and you will be 20 in a flash, and the baby fat on your face has disappeared inadvertently, probably from the filming of "Young You" "It was caused by dieting."

Liu Qianqian said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye I have known you for 5 years."

"Five years ago, I would never have imagined that I would walk on the streets of Berlin in such a state of embarrassment with an action director who was robbing kelp fish."

Fang Nan rubbed his arms, and said with a smile, "You can't think of it? I can't think of it. You're just a little girl with yellow hair."

"Nonsense, I was more than 1 meters tall at the time, but my face was a little more fleshy, but I didn't look like a yellow-haired girl!"

After Liu Qianqian finished her plausible rebuttal, the two looked at each other and smiled, the warmth brought by their friendship dispelled a lot of chills from their bodies.

Ancient meets modern.

Combination of various cultures of the world.

Berlin's characteristic streets that combine high art and street art.

Fang Nan, who was only wearing a white shirt, and Liu Qianqian, who was wearing a black suit and a knee-length skirt, just recalled the past and stared at the wind and snow.

It's very artistic and funny, but it's also bruised and swollen from the cold.

Earned a lot of attention gifts.

On the first day of the 57th Berlin Film Festival, several people in Fang Nan hurried past while drinking a few large bowls of ginger tea.

Early the next morning, everyone in the villa dispersed like birds and beasts.

Cai Yinong led Hu Wen and the staff to rent a small counter selling copyrights in the movie palace.

Liu Qianqian joined Sishi and Ni Ni's camp and chose to go shopping for a day, artist director Chu Yujun and a manager were in charge of "taking care" of her.

Fang Nan is still obsessed with watching movies, wandering around the various screening halls, but sometimes it is embarrassing.

For example, he was invited by Li Yu to watch "Apple".

But when Fan Bingxue's white body came out, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he had to touch his nose in embarrassment, after all, the deity was sitting next to him.

He himself hates putting large scale on the big screen.

It's fine to solve the affairs in the boudoir secretly, but he really can't bear it if he shows it to others for appreciation.

What's worse, Li Yu frequently communicated with him through Fan Bing.

When Li Yu probed again to talk about Fan Bing's good-looking body, Fang Nan interrupted, "How did "Apple" pass the trial? "Youth in Youth" passed the trial, and I was devastated."

"What kind of trial did you go through? I just cut the film when the film festival opened, and I was worried."

Fang Nan was speechless: "It's probably enough to be screened in China."

"Winning the award will save you. Otherwise, I don't expect it to be screened in China. If I can participate in the final selection, I will be satisfied."

What Li Yu said was indeed the truth.

Most of the works directed by five or six generations of directors in the past went to major foreign film festivals first.

If you win a big prize in a foreign country, you are eligible to make a fuss when you return to your country. Maybe some shots will be cut in the bureau, and if you turn a blind eye, you will be issued a dragon mark.

But there is also a premise, it can't be too much, "Apple" is so f*cking that it's going to be naked and a real person, and it's probably enough to win the big prize.

"If you do this, how can you let the leader step down?"

"I don't care about them, art is art!"

Fang Nan and Li Yu chatted a few more words, and the movie came to an end. When Li Yu led Fan Bing and Tong Dawei to stand up and thank the audience, Fang Nan walked out of the screening hall first.

The plot of "Apple" is just like that, don't even think about winning an award.

If he remembered correctly, Li Yu should have received a notification from China in the past two days, so that Fan Bing and Tong Dawei didn't dare to show up at the closing ceremony.

On the second day after watching "Apple", Fang Nan finally waited until the first screening of "Tuya's Marriage".

Watching this Golden Bear movie for the second time, Fang Nan still gave the same evaluation as in his previous life.

Wang An'an learned from Zhang Yimou's early films very well.

The themes are all dabbled in the countryside.

There are both gritty women, as well as two men.

The story of "Tuya's Marriage" is very simple.

The story of Tuya, a woman on the prairie who was forced by the hardships of life, brought her disabled ex-husband Battelle to seek marriage together.
The plot of the film is straightforward, expressing Tuya's difficulties in life from beginning to end.

Riding a horse to a distant place to pull water, pull firewood, herd sheep, etc. The plots all show that Tuya, who has to take care of her disabled husband and children, has already had a very difficult life.

But even when times are tough.

When Tuya took her husband to seek marriage, she was still not understood by everyone, even the disabled husband and children.

The film finally ends with actress Yu Nan's cries of incomparable aggrievedness.

After watching the movie again, Fang Nan felt the same.

If he was the judge, he would give Yu Nan the Best Actress Silver Bear Award.

"Tuya's Marriage" is not worthy of a golden bear, but Yu Nan's acting skills are worthy of a silver bear.

After watching two domestic films "Apple" and "Tuya's Marriage".

Fang Nan specially read "Others" and "Beaufort" which appeared in the "Hollywood Report" successively.

It was not until the evening of the 10th that he returned to the villa early to recharge his batteries and prepare for tomorrow's "Youth in Youth" red carpet and screening.

The 11th is just around the corner.

On that day, the rare weather in Berlin cleared up.

The sun shines on the snow, refracting dazzling lights from time to time.

When the three black cars parked steadily on the red carpet at Alexanderplatz, Fang Nan opened the door first and got out of the car, then handed his hand to Liu Qianqian in the car.

Compared with the main square Potsdamer Platz where the Film Palace is located, the sub-square Alexanderplatz has much fewer foreign movie fans and media.

On the contrary, there are more Asian audiences and media with black eyes and black hair.

When Fang Nan and Chen Kun were waiting for the four of them, they even took the opportunity to ask several domestic media to cover it.

"Director Fang, we are reporters from New Entertainment Online. I want to ask you, have you watched "Apple" and "Tuya's Marriage"? Which movie do you think will win? Or all of them?"

Facing the well-equipped Tomato TV reporter, Fang Nan expressed shock: "Your station has changed its shotgun? Is this a live broadcast?"

"That's right, this is an exclusive live broadcast in China, with a delay of at most a few seconds. It is now 20.30pm in China. Many people have already seen you and Sissy on TV. The ratings of our station are very good."

"Really, let me see."

Liu Qianqian leaned forward, stroked her temples using the camera as a mirror, and then stepped back: "It seems to be real, high-definition camera."

The appearance of the two made many domestic audiences burst into laughter.

Fang Nankou didn't hesitate to say anything, teasing the rich and powerful Tomato for a shotgun change?
Liu Qianqian was even more amazing, her face almost filled the TV screens in front of many viewers in China, and she didn't know it.

Willful?
Prove that even if your face is magnified twice or three times, it is 360 degrees without dead ends?

Many viewers and fans in China went crazy with laughter.

The opening of the 57th Berlin Film Festival, domestic movie fans and fans are not ignorant and should not help.

It's too far away, beyond reach.

It wasn't until Tomato got the synchronous live broadcast technology that the fans of Fang Nan, Liu Qianqian, and viewers who followed and liked movies flocked to Tomato and saw today's scene.

Unintentionally, something ugly happened, Fang Nan didn't get too tangled up, but said to the host's microphone:

"I watched "Tuya's Marriage" yesterday, and felt that the film directed by Wang An'an is likely to win the award. The official Berlin show magazine and the three most influential show magazines also felt that "Tuya's Marriage" was a contender for the award. The power of a bear."

I know that many domestic audiences are paying attention to this film festival.

Naturally, Fang Nan will not let the domestic audience down, he revealed some good news during the New Year's Eve to inspire the Chinese people.

"Director Wang himself is full of confidence. He feels that he and Yu Nan are just like Zhang Yimou and Kong Li back then!"

Fang Nan looked surprised: "Ah, he really said that?"

"Yes."

Fang Nan was speechless: "It's pretty good, it's good to have confidence."

He was shocked by Wang Ping'an, this guy is too high-profile.

If the movie received a good response, I would be secretly happy, and compare myself to the combination of Zhang Yimou and Kong Li, are you not afraid that the last game will be empty?

But Fang Nan also knew that Wang An'an's bullshit was blown.

"Tuya's Marriage" is indeed another Chinese-language film that won the Golden Bear after the two Chinese-language films "Scented Soul Girl" and "Wedding Banquet" 14 years ago.

Fang Nan took the initiative to step back, and the young special host said shyly, "Sissy, let's say hello to the domestic audience before the red carpet."

"Hi everyone, I'm Liu Qianqian, and now I'm on the red carpet before the screening of "You Are a Young Man" at the 57th Berlin Film Festival, wishing everyone a happy New Year in advance, and wishing everyone a happy Year of the Pig!"

After Liu Qianqian finished speaking solemnly, Chen Kun also came to pay New Year's greetings in advance, and then several people stepped on the red carpet.

Compared with the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Liu Sishi and the others who stepped on the red carpet of their own house were much more relaxed.

Facing the media and the audience, he showed a bright smile from time to time.

After entering the screening hall, several people sat down step by step.

After a while, journalists, film critics, and audiences came in.

Not long after, Paul Schrader, the chairman of the jury this year, and Ning Ying, another judge from China, walked in.

Li Yu, Fan Bing, Tong Dawei, and Yu Nan also walked into the small theater that can only accommodate 200 people.

Several film creators in front of and behind the scenes of the films that were also shortlisted for the main competition unit also came.

"I'm looking forward to it." Chen Kun said this for no reason.

He, like everyone other than the judges, has not seen the finished film until now.

I don't know how Fang Nan edited the movie.

"Looking forward to it, I'll take it easy later, I think it's okay."

When Fang Nan responded to Chen Kun with a smile, the big screen already had a glimmer of brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon logo appeared, representing the opening animation of the Wupeng boat. When the opening animation slowly disappeared, many foreigners saw the English version of the four characters [Fang Nan's works] for the first time.

The opening of "Youth in Youth" is very much like a very orthodox movie.

There are no shaky, blank shots, no blurry scenes.

The sound effects should be exciting, and the lines should be emotional, so the audience was very excited.

Many people at the scene probably complained that "Youth in Youth" came to the wrong place. It is more like a youth campus inspirational commercial film.

Until the body fell to the ground with a "bang".

The overall style of the film has changed, and the originally lively campus has become depressing.

At the same time, there was a buzzing sound.

Because of bullying and suicide, many foreigners at the scene could not understand.

Even the frantic study at the beginning, they are a little confused, there is no way, they have too little "volume" experience.

But there is one thing that many foreigners at the scene can understand, and that is the bullying that exists everywhere.

But Xiang Fangnan was such a calm "executioner", the foreigner still shuddered.

When Chen Nian was bullied and frightened, Xiao Bei appeared like sunshine.

When Xiaobei was questioned as a suspect, Chen Nian fell into the abyss again.

When Chen Nianxi made a mistake to Dan Biansheng, Xiaobei stood up again, but the police's white lies made Chen Nian despair again!

The film director's three perfect and layered rhythms made Chen Nian breathe heavier each time.

More than 200 people at the scene became short of breath.

The lens turns.

The sun was shining all over the earth, Chen Nian appeared on the podium with short hair, and the whole audience seemed to be panting.

Seeing Chen Nian following the girl suspected of being bullied all the way, the scene burst into applause like a tide.

　I made a mistake. The first screening of all the works shortlisted for the main competition unit was in the Potsdamer Platz Film Palace. I couldn’t find the information yesterday, but I accidentally found it today. I am very sorry.
