Full-time actor

"Next-"

"Let's leave the time to the creators of 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' and all the media reporters."

Dieter Koslico waved to the group of authoritative media behind him.

Both the organizers and the entire judging panel.

The film festival is a busy time.

They had to consider all 383 films participating in the festival, and being able to attend the premiere of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" starring Chen Yu at the first opportunity was enough to demonstrate the respect shown by the Berlin Film Festival organizers.

For a while.

Major media outlets have flocked to the scene.

They were finally given the opportunity to interview Chen Yu and his team.

Ni Jingyang and the others had never seen such a scene before, and were somewhat at a loss for what to do.

but.

They were well aware of their position; wherever Chen Yu was, they were essentially relegated to the background.

"Chan, are you confident about competing for the Golden Bear?"

What kind of preparations did you make to take on this role?

The German Press Agency (dpa) reporter was the first to ask a question.

They were all completely stunned the moment they saw Chen Yu appear.

After all, this incredibly handsome and charismatic Grand Slam Best Actor actor appears completely disheveled in this movie.

Greasy, down-on-his-luck, and unkempt.

He looked exactly like a homeless person.

"In order to better embody the down-on-his-luck policeman Zhang Zili in 'Black Coal, Thin Ice,' I deliberately gained 10 kilograms and spent half a month experiencing life in the criminal investigation team."

"Did you resonate with this character?"

Chen Yu's career seemed to everyone else to be going very smoothly.

His ability to portray this character so deeply is truly admirable.

"Yes! I can completely understand the character Zhang Zili. On some level, we even share the same plight."

what--

The media reporters present all looked over, clearly finding Chen Yu's answer somewhat unbelievable.

"What resonates with me is the instinctive struggle of humanity in the face of adversity."

"After repeated failures, his emotions were a mixture of resentment and confusion."

"But I still want to hold on to the last hope."

Diao Yinan looked at Chen Yu, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

It is clear.

Chen Yu fully understood the role.

In the early stages of writing this script, Diao Yinan had a variety of complex emotions.

He focused his attention on marginalized people in society, instinctively wanting to explore and care for those who have failed.

Actually.

Isn't this also a way of venting one's feelings?

At that time, facing a significant gap between himself and his classmates, his inner anxiety was already unbalanced.

So he went deep into understanding the psychology of these losers.

Just didn't expect it.

Chen Yu could easily describe his feelings at that time.

"Chan, what would you like to say about your film being nominated for the Berlin Film Festival?"

Just as the media in the audience were about to ask questions again, Chen Yu made a stop gesture.

Everyone froze for a moment.

"I think the person most qualified to answer is sitting next to me, after all, I am just a character in Director Diao's writing."

Chen Yu remained the same as always.

This situation should have been Diao Yinan's moment of glory.

He lived two lives.

Even Chen Yu couldn't help but admire the film "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

He never flaunted his achievements, but instead delved into every detail, making people realize his significance after careful consideration.

This inevitably involves experiencing emotional highs and lows.

The media shifted their focus, and this time the premiere of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was quite a grand affair.

This is sufficient proof.

Chen Yu's international influence at this moment.

Almost all the big stars in Hollywood have gathered here.

In their view.

Chen Yu is sure to shine at the Berlin International Film Festival this time.

This work alone has already made them have to praise Chen Yu's versatility.

The premiere is over.

Reporters from major media outlets have already rushed to issue press releases.

[The legacy and innovation of film noir: the core metaphor of *Black Coal, Thin Ice*.]

[Black Coal, Thin Ice Ignites Berlin: This Moment Belongs to China and the Chan.]

[Could it be Berlin's biggest winner? The premiere of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" received a stellar response.]

The premiere of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" received rave reviews! Chan's acting is phenomenal, simply textbook-level.

[The best on-screen couple in "Black Coal, Thin Ice" portrays a complex love-hate relationship, revealing the intricate human nature of humanity.]

The press release immediately sparked a frenzy upon its release.

Everyone was quite excited.

Chen Yu is simply persuasive; almost every work he produces is a stroke of genius.

"Looking forward to it! When will it be released worldwide?"

"I was shocked when I saw the poster. How could it have become so sloppy?"

"Now they've really become a couple on opposing sides."

"With such high praise from foreign media, it proves that 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' is bound to be a huge hit and win awards."

Netizens are discussing it extensively.

Whether abroad or in mainland China, people are eager to learn more about the film "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

As for Chen Yu...

He has already led Liu Yifei back to the hotel.

The next few days were mostly filled with screenings of major films.

All you need to do is promote it and watch a movie.

January 2009, 2, 15:10 am.

The 59th Berlin International Film Festival has officially begun.

After these few days of screenings, I have gained a basic understanding of all the films.

have to say.

Chen Yu's novel "Black Coal, Thin Ice" has been highly regarded.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were already dressed neatly.

Next, it will be time to meet up with Diao Yinan and the others.

The creators of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" have been waiting for a long time.

The procedures for each film festival are basically the same.

They will soon be traveling by the organizers' vehicle to the film festival venue.

A group of people got into the car.

When they arrived at the cinema, Ni Jingyang's eyes widened in surprise.

She had never seen such a large gathering before; the entire area outside the cinema was packed with media reporters from all over the world.

Long lenses and short lenses were already aimed at the starting point of the red carpet.

This made her feel a little nervous for a moment.

This was the first time she had ever faced such a large-scale event.

I feel like my whole body has become stiff.

In contrast, Liu Yifei was clearly already very familiar with this situation.

The entire red carpet stretched out onto the street outside the Palais des Festivals.

In addition to media reporters, fans from various groups also gathered here.

The cheers were already deafening.

It must be said that the Berlin Film Festival remains as popular as ever.

Chen Yu looked out of the car.

I'm really looking forward to what happens next.

He and Diao Yinan had already done an excellent job in the public relations for "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

Plus.

The jury chair this time is Tilda Swinton.

Based on their previous relationship during the filming of "The Grand Budapest Hotel," perhaps—

It's possible that Liu Yifei could win the Best Actress award.

Of course, he didn't reveal this to Liu Yifei. He certainly wouldn't give Liu Yifei any hope unless he was absolutely certain.

"Yifei, your necklace is so unique."

Ni Jingyang's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention to Liu Yifei's location. Her face instantly flushed red, and her fingers unconsciously touched the crystal necklace around her neck.

That's right.

This was her Valentine's Day gift yesterday.

She thought Chen Yu wouldn't participate much in such festivals anymore, but he still surprised her greatly.

"It seems."

"Our Brother Yu has really gone all out this time."

Wang Jingchun teased her subconsciously, and the girl's blush was enough to prove everything.

After noticing their reactions, Ni Jingyang couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's relationship remained unchanged for many years.

It's obvious that relationships in the entertainment industry are the least pure.

It was thought that with Chen Yu's rising status, Liu Yifei and Chen Yu would eventually end their relationship.

However, their feelings for each other grew stronger day by day.

Especially under Chen Yu's guidance, Liu Yifei has now also entered Hollywood.

Her status has even begun to surpass that of top-tier female stars.

"Yifei deserves the best."

These words made Liu Yifei turn her head to look at Chen Yu, whose face was full of seriousness.

"what--"

Screams erupted again from outside the car door.

Chen Yu turned his gaze to the doorway, where the film crew of "London River" was not far away.

Even before stepping onto the red carpet, she was already drawing cheers from a crowd of media reporters.

Thoughts drift away.

In his previous life, the winner of this year's Best Actor award was Sotigu Kouyate, the lead actor in "London River".

This was definitely a highlight of his career.

Even though he was old and in poor health, he still attended the Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony.

This award is a recognition of his decades of work in the film and television industry.

Think of this.

Chen Yu's emotions were clearly affected.

A total of 19 films were shortlisted for the main competition this time.

The film that won the Golden Bear for Best Film in its previous life was "Sad Milk".

The Silver Bear went to "About Elizabeth".

Both works had a significant impact on their respective fields when they were published.

Their achievements are particularly outstanding.

Unfortunately--

This time, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious.

"You're still spacing out at such an important moment!"

Liu Yifei's voice came, instantly pulling Chen Yu back to reality.

Looking at the eager media reporters outside the door, everyone naturally knew who the next protagonist on the red carpet would be.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"It is an honor to meet everyone as the red carpet host at the Berlin International Film Festival."

A loud voice came to my ears.

Liu Yifei looked up and saw a female host standing at the end of the red carpet.

Caitlin Paulfeld.

Compared to previous red carpet hosts, she was noticeably more reserved at this moment.

To be precise, it should be described as mediocre.

"Next."

"I will now introduce the president of the jury for this year's Berlin International Film Festival."

"For her, performance has long transcended technique and is closer to artistic creation."

"She is one of the greatest living theorists of performance."

"Ms. Tilda Swinton".

As Caitlin Paulfeld introduced her, the media reporters on both sides of the red carpet began to applaud enthusiastically.

Tilda Swinton's talent is beyond question.

Countless works she has starred in have become household names.

"Now."

"She will lead the jury to bring us even better works."

"Let's welcome Tilda Swinton together."

The voice just fell.

Tilda Swinton appeared at the starting point of the red carpet.

Her sharp, bespoke suit accentuated her decisive and efficient demeanor.

At this moment.

All the media reporters have gone crazy.

It's worth noting that the judging panel this time consists entirely of well-known celebrities.

Even setting aside their status as judges, their position alone is enough to inspire fervor.

This year's Berlin Film Festival has attracted authoritative media from all over the world.

Reuters, AFP, The New York Times, The Guardian, and Global Times.

Compared to the star-studded lineup, the media presence this time was equally impressive.

Xinhua News Agency and the Sixth Princess are indispensable to China.

Sina and Sohu followed closely behind.

As for Chen Yu's Tomato website, he is also a must-invite guest.

Actually.

This is entirely due to Chen Yu's influence. You should know that in previous years, most domestic journalists were subject to exclusion by these international media outlets.

Over the past few years, Chen Yu has successfully built his own influence.

So much so.

The status of China's entertainment industry has risen accordingly.

Click!Click!
The cameras and microphones were now pointed at the jury on the red carpet.

You should know that this kind of scene is rarely seen under normal circumstances.

Tilda Swinton, Wang Ying, Isabel Cosette, Gaston Cabo, and others.

These are some of the top directors and producers in the world.

Normally, it's difficult to even meet with them.

Liu Yifei and the others watched this scene from inside the car; they were already used to it.

These heavyweight directors had already communicated at the welcome dinner at the time.

The scene at that time was absolutely unique.

Several renowned directors expressed their desire to collaborate with Chen Yu.

Looking back at Chen Yu, who was expressionless at the moment, Liu Yifei couldn't help but shrug.

really.

Having a capable boyfriend is the best thing to do.

Tilda Swinton has arrived in front of the media, exuding an innate charisma that makes it impossible to look away.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Dear fellow filmmakers!"

"I am very grateful to the Berlin Film Festival organizing committee for this honor."

"Being able to serve as the chair of the jury is of great significance to me."

"This mission is not only to judge the entries, but also to step into the world created by each filmmaker."

"To cross borders, penetrate the screen, and touch each other's souls."

"I believe—"

"There will be a different kind of surprise for everyone today."

As Tilda Swinton spoke, the sounds from both sides of the red carpet grew louder.

This opening ceremony speech in German successfully enlivened the atmosphere.

Besides.

Her remarks are often profound, making it impossible not to praise her.

"Everyone, get ready, we're about to go on stage."

Diao Yinan's voice rang out in the car, and everyone was clearly on high alert.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break out of your comfort zone.

It is essential to handle this well.

The former looked at Chen Yu.

It has to be said that almost everyone who was with Chen Yu received preferential treatment.

To know.

Being the first film crew to appear after the jury is undoubtedly the highest honor and the center of attention.

All of this originated from Chen Yu. (End of Chapter)
