Chapter 516 The Opening of the Berlin Film Festival (Happy New Year to Everyone!!!)

"By the way, where do Lao Niu and the others live?" Wu Jianye changed the subject and asked Chen Kaige.

The Lao Niu Wu Jianye spoke of is also a classmate of the 78th grade of Yanjing Film Academy, Wu Ziniu. This year, Wu Ziniu was also shortlisted for this year's Berlin Film Festival with his "Evening Bell" filmed last year.

Chen Kaige smiled and said: "They live far away, and they were going to pick you up with me today, but there is something wrong at the moment."

"The two of you are quite well-known in Berlin now, and quite a few media have already named you two Chinese twin stars at this year's Berlin Film Festival!"

Chinese films already give people a sense of mystery. This time, two Chinese films were shortlisted for this year's Berlin Film Festival competition. Naturally, it is a gimmick of this year's Berlin Film Festival.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Who is on the crew of "Evening Bell"?"

Chen Kaige replied: "Lao Niu, the two main actors Tao Zeru and Sun Min, the producer Yan Riying, the screenwriter Wang Yifei, by the way, that boy Hou Yong is also here!"

Hou Yong is also a classmate of the 78th grade, from the photography department, and is also the photographer of the movie "Evening Bell".

Wu Jianye said: "Then let's sit together after the opening ceremony tomorrow!"

Chen Kaige agreed: "I think so too."

The two chatted for a while, Wu Jianye saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Okay, you can go back, you've been on a plane all day, go to bed early!"

Chen Kaige sneered and said, "Why don't I stay with you at night?"

Wu Jianye glanced at Chen Kaige, it seemed that his patience with Hong Huang had reached its limit, but after all, this was a matter between the two of them, Wu Jianye couldn't say much, the most important thing was to say It didn't work either.

"Whatever, the sofa is ready for you at any time!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Your bed is quite big!" Chen Kaige pointed in the direction of the bedroom and smiled.

Wu Jianye: "I'm not used to sleeping with men!"

"It doesn't matter!" Chen Kaige shook his head, but even so, he didn't return to his room.

The next day!

At the gate of the Berlin Animal Palace Cinema, there was a huge crowd of people. Reporters from all over the world gathered here, and many fans who came to make a pilgrimage turned this place into a sea of ​​people.

Cheers and the sound of cameras clicking are intertwined.

The opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival has also officially started.

While waiting to enter the arena, Wu Jianye also saw Wu Ziniu and the crew of "Evening Bell", and greeted them from a distance, but did not chat much.

The first to enter the arena was the nine judges led by Rolf Liebermann, the chairman of the jury of this Berlin Film Festival. Ten people walked on the red carpet, which immediately aroused the cheers of many audiences, and murdered many people at the same time. Less film.

Chen Kaige walked in the crowd in high spirits.

When the judges entered the arena, it was the crew of each selected film, as well as the carpet stars who came to rub the red carpet.

No matter which film festival it is, the number and quality of the stars who come to participate reflect the existence of this film festival. As one of the three most prestigious film festivals in Europe, the Berlin Film Festival naturally has many stars participating, but The most eye-catching one is of course participating in "Rain Man", and now Tom Cruise is the most popular fried chicken in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" made the whole of Europe and the United States appreciate his prosperous beauty. After his appearance, Tom Cruise also received the treatment he deserved, and the cheers resounded throughout the theater of Animal Palace.

Even Dustin Hoffman next to him cannot be compared with Tom Cruise. The "Graduate" starring this actor is called a masterpiece of a generation, and he is also a very powerful actor. In the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Dustin Hoffman was nominated for Best Actor in the Academy Awards 7 times.

And won the best actor twice, one of which is the "Rain Man" he is promoting now!
At the same time, Dustin Hoffman also won the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival, and the Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Berlin Film Festival. There are countless other awards.

He is a well-known and powerful actor in Hollywood.

If it is said that Tom Cruise is the most popular male star in the entire Golden Bear Awards, then the number one beauty in France, Isabelle Adjani, is the most popular female star.

The audience of later generations may think that the number one beauty in France should be Sophie Marceau, but this is the first flower in France before Sophie Marceau, and Sophie Marceau is just following the path she walked. .

Isabelle Adjani was named one of the 50 most beautiful women in the world by "Volkswagen" magazine.

In Europe, if you ask anyone casually, who is the most beautiful woman in France?

They must say: Madonna!
But if you want to ask who is the second one, it must be Isabel Adjani.

Her beauty is different from the sexy of Marilyn Monroe, the sweetness of Alizee, and the dignity of Audrey Hepburn. She is depressed, crazy, and transparent.
Isabel Adjani has the delicate outline of a Western beauty, but also has the euphemistic temperament of an Eastern girl. Adjani's beauty is a mixture of all the essence of Sophie and Monica.

At the same time, she is not just a simple vase, she is also a woman with superb acting skills. She won the Caesar Best Actress 5 times, was nominated for Oscars 2 times, and received the Cannes, Berlin, and Caesar trophies one by one.

This is the affirmation of her acting skills.

Wu Jianye once watched Isabel Adjani's movie. He is very fortunate that Isabel Adjani is a French actress. She has perfectly inherited the boldness of French actresses, and Wu Jianye is satisfied with her dedication to art. .
When Wu Jianye took He Qing and others onto the red carpet, it also caused quite a stir. At this time, Wu Jianye was no longer an unknown person in Europe.

The Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the best director at the Cannes Film Festival gave him his own fans in Europe, and at the same time a small group of diehard rock fans, Wu Jianye walked on the red carpet as well. There was a deafening cheer.

Although it has been a long time since he appeared in the European and American music circles, Wu Jianye's influence is still there.

At the same time, He Qing, who was walking in front of Wu Jianye, also caused some commotion. She wore a cheongsam that could perfectly show her figure, making her different from European and American actresses. Coupled with her gentle temperament, she also murdered many people. film.

On the contrary, Li Lianjie, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Manyu are still in a semi-transparent state in Europe at this time.

This is also due to the results of "New Dragon Inn" being released in Europe.

Wu Jianye led a few people, waved his hands, walked across the red carpet, and entered the Animal Palace Cinema.

Here he saw the world's top filmmakers, and quite a few of them gathered around and chatted casually.

Chen Kaige saw Wu Jianye and others from a distance, and immediately whispered to Moritz beside him, and came to Wu Jianye.

"Follow me to meet Mr. Moritz!" Chen Kaige said with a smile.

Wu Jianye smiled and nodded, followed Chen Kaige to Moritz.

"Wu, I'm very happy that you are able to come to Berlin!" Moritz Hader also showed a happy smile after seeing Wu Jianye, and talked in English.

Moritz has always been committed to making the Berlin Film Festival the world's top awards ceremony, and the rising Chinese-language films are what he is striving for. Wu Jianye is the top Chinese-language film at this time and the most famous in Europe. As the director, Moritz naturally hopes that he can become a regular visitor of the Berlin Film Festival.

"I also want to thank the Berlin Film Festival for giving me this opportunity to come here!" Wu Jianye said neither humble nor overbearing.

Moritz laughed, and then said to Wu Jianye: "When I went to China the year before last, director Wu Tianming always wanted us to meet, but at that time, you were not in China, this time you came to Berlin, We should sit down!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's an honor!"

"Come on, let me introduce you to these friends." After speaking, Moritz introduced the judges of the Berlin Film Festival to Wu Jianye affectionately.

Chairman Rolf Liebermann, nine judges, French actress Leslie Cullen, has been nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards twice.

German actor Wittim Gloner, director, producer Randa Haynes, actors Adrian Coote, Francesco Laval, Cliff Robertson, director and actor Zedan Necks Verak, the last It is the Soviet writer Boris Lvovich Vasilyev.

Only Chen Kaige is due to his relationship with Wu Jianye, so no introduction is needed.

Everyone was naturally very clear about Wu Jianye's achievements, so when they shook hands with Wu Jianye, they all smiled kindly.

It's just that Wu Jianye doesn't know whether it's true or not, and in fact, he doesn't need to know.
This is a grand event for filmmakers, so it was impossible for Wu Jianye to chat with Moritz and others all the time, and then he returned to his seat, sitting next to his old classmate Wu Ziniu.

"Old Wu, let me introduce you. This is Yan Riying from Bayi Factory. This time I am the producer of the movie "Evening Bell"!" Wu Ziniu introduced to Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye shook hands with Yan Riying with a smile, and said, "Hi, I'm Wu Jianye!"

Yan Riying laughed loudly and said, "Director Wu's name, I'm afraid no one who makes films in China has never heard of it!"

Wu Jianye: "You're welcome, I'm just lucky!"

Then Wu Ziniu introduced several other people in "Evening Bell" to Wu Jianye. Among them, the actor Wu Jianye should be most familiar with is the actor Tao Zeru.

Later, the well-established old drama bone, in the last work directed by Wu Tianming, "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", is really amazing.

And Wu Jianye also introduced He Qing and others for them, and everyone had a very happy chat together.

However, when a few people were chatting, an elegant man in a black dress and a white shirt came over, who was Dustin Hoffman, the star of "Rain Man".

"Wu, hello!"

Dustin Hoffman came over and greeted Wu Jianye with a smile.

Although Wu Jianye was a little curious about Dustin Hoffman's arrival, his expression didn't change much, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Hoffman, hello!"

At this time, Dustin Hoffman was 52 years old. When he participated in "The Graduate", he was already 30 years old, and he was one of the late bloomers.

Dustin Hoffman showed a faint smile and said, "Wu, can I have a private chat with you?"

"no problem!"

After the two came to a separate space, Dustin Hoffman said, "Should I call you Kun, or Director Wu?"

Wu Jianye tilted his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, anything is fine!"

Dustin Hoffman said: "Kun, when I came to Berlin before, I received a call from an old friend. He knew that you were the author of "Jurassic Park", and hoped that you could come forward to discuss with Phantom Entertainment. Sell ​​the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" to my old friend, the price is negotiable!"

Although Dustin Hoffman didn't say who his old friend is, Wu Jianye has already guessed: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I know that Hoffman's old friend should be Mr. Spielberg, but this I have already sold the right to adapt this novel to Phantom Entertainment, so I am afraid I cannot help Spielberg with this matter!"

Dustin Hoffman also has Jewish ancestry. Jews in Hollywood have always been united. Although Dustin Hoffman and Spielberg have not cooperated before, their relationship has always been good. People will cooperate in a "Captain Hook".

Dustin Horsman smiled and said, "Kun, we know about the relationship between you and Phantom Entertainment. I think Phantom Entertainment will seriously consider it if you say it!"

Wu Jianye was taken aback for a moment. Not many people knew that he was the boss behind Phantom Entertainment. Could it be that the influence of Jews in Hollywood is really that great?
They already know?
But soon Dustin Hoffman's words dispelled Wu Jianye's doubts: "The few scripts you wrote in North America were handed over to Phantom Entertainment. I hope you will seriously consider our suggestion, Kun."

At this time, Wu Jianye realized that what Dustin Hoffman said about his relationship with Phantom Entertainment may not be noticed by ordinary people, but these professional filmmakers can see the relationship between him and Phantom Entertainment in several blockbuster movies of Phantom Entertainment. , including the first "Home Alone", "Die Hard", and the best-selling animated film "The Lion King", when these films were released in North America, the screenwriter column wrote "Kun"!
Ordinary audiences wouldn't think much about this kind of thing, but as a professional Hollywood filmmaker, it has a different meaning.

They now value screenwriters more than any other country in the world.

If it wasn't for Wu Jian Yeyuan's stay in Huaxia, he would have become one of the hottest screenwriters in Hollywood by this time.

But it is precisely because Wu Jianye is from China, and at the same time in China, the proud Hollywood people do not agree with Wu Jianye so much in their bones.

This strange phenomenon is not uncommon in Hollywood!
"Sorry, I can't help you with this matter!" Wu Jianye still refused Dustin Hoffman's request.

Seeing this, Dustin Hoffman just smiled and left.

Dustin Hoffman returned to his position, Tom Cruise asked, "Did the other party agree?"

Dustin Hoffman smiled "hehe" and said, "No!"

　Once again, I wish you all a Happy New Year's Eve!At this time, everyone should be eating New Year's Eve dinner. I hope everyone can eat happily and stay away from all unhappiness! ! ! ! !
