Chapter 500: The Highlights of the Red Carpet!
"Next-"

"The films that will soon walk the red carpet are among the most anticipated entries at this year's film festival."

Anker Engelk's words aroused everyone's anticipation.

"This is not just a movie, but also an emotional resonance about family."

Speaking of which.

Everyone already has their own opinions on this.

The car slowly drove towards the starting point of the red carpet, and amidst much speculation, countless movie fans and enthusiasts could no longer contain their excitement.

"Chan!"

"Chen Jin!"

The enthusiastic cheers felt like they were about to lift the entire cinema palace off its feet.

At this moment, the Lincoln arranged by the organizers came to a steady stop at the starting point of the red carpet.

The atmosphere on the field was already boiling.

Now, Wang Jingchun and his colleagues have once again witnessed Chen Jin's influence.

In this world of fame and fortune where filmmakers from all over the world gather, nearly half of the people were overjoyed for Chen Jin.

"Jin Ge's fans truly know no borders."

in the crowd.

Besides the familiar Chinese faces, there were plenty of white and black people among them.

These extremely xenophobic individuals were also captivated by Chen Jin.

The global success of "The Killer" greatly increased Chen Jin's fame.

Yongmei let out a deep breath.

Compared to Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi's ease and confidence, she seemed somewhat awkward.

This was her first time standing on the stage of an international film festival.

God knows how long she had been waiting for this moment.

When faced with actual combat, she felt somewhat flustered and confused.

A hand came into view and then grabbed her hand, which was fidgeting nervously.

It is Zhu Yanmanzi.

A smile graced her beautiful face.

This single action instantly calmed Yongmei down.

The custom-made dress perfectly showcased Zhu Yanmanzi's curvaceous figure.

Beautiful as a flower.

Let's welcome them with the warmest applause!

"The creative team behind 'The Chinese Family'!"

"Welcome Director Wen, Tan, and our much-anticipated lead actor Jin Chan!"

"The Chinese Family" is the overseas film title of "Grandma," meaning Chinese family.

boom--

With Chen Jin's name mentioned, the situation outside the cinema palace had spiraled out of control.

Applause and screams rose and fell in waves.

The crowd held up Chen Jin's personal posters and cheered.

The car door was opened by the greeter, and the moment everyone's eyes fell on Chen Jin, the reaction of those present was extremely enthusiastic and full of energy.

The cheers were deafening.

At this moment, the cast and crew of "Side Effects," who had reached the end of the red carpet, were utterly astonished.

"Amazing!"

"Is this Chan's appeal?"

Steven Soderbergh looked at Jude Law beside him.

Compared to the grand spectacle when Jude Law made his appearance, this was absolutely even more spectacular.

Chen Jin's appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere on the field.

Even in the dead of winter, nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of the moviegoers present.

Media reporters from all over the world were equally eager to join in.

They surged forward quickly, crowding together.

Chen Jin now has a number of fans around the world.

As long as he's around, there's bound to be plenty of buzz and attention.

This Chinese actor has established himself in Hollywood in just one year.

Chen Jin had just gotten out of the car.

Only then did he arrive at Zhu Yanmanzi's side, where he saw Zhu Yanmanzi's slender arm linked with Chen Jin's arm.

This scene.

It immediately gave everyone a whiff of gossip.

The cast and crew of "Grandma's Grandson" have all gathered.

Normally, the director should lead the main cast and crew on the red carpet.

but.

Adhering to the principle that the best person should be in the middle, Wen Muye gave the leading position to Chen Jin.

The whole crowd cheered.

Everyone has been eagerly anticipating this.

It's undeniable that so far, about half of the people in the dedicated Chinese fan and media areas on both sides of the red carpet have come for Chen Jin.

This is not alarmist.

Since Chen Jin laid a solid foundation, his popularity has transcended the boundaries of different dimensions.

The moment Chen Jin stepped onto the red carpet, she looked exactly like a triumphant general returning home.

High spirits.

"Chan, look this way!"

"I love you."

"A journey of pure beauty unfolds, radiating brilliance."

Driven by fans and moviegoers, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and enjoyable.

By 2013, fan culture was already prevalent.

Even though Chen Jin doesn't particularly advocate for this, she has to admit that fan-driven creations and promotions are often more effective than traditional publicity.

He waved towards the fan section.

present.

Many people have already started taking photos.

Not only Chinese people, but also many of Chen Jin's fans and media reporters rushed to take pictures wherever she went.

Long lenses and cameras were pointed at the crowd on the red carpet.

Wang Jingchun was secretly pleased; indeed, choosing the right side was crucial.

Squatting beside Chen Jin, he had many more opportunities to appear in public.

If it were any other time.

Staying on the red carpet for even a few seconds longer could get you kicked out.

CCTV live broadcast room.

The moment Chen Jin appeared, the atmosphere in the entire live stream instantly heated up.

Netizens have been waiting impatiently.

It's like seeing your own child on the honor roll, and now it's time to win the championship; they're definitely watching closely.

"Jin-ge and Zizi—"

"Who cares? As long as we can get our brother Jin to win the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award, nothing else matters."

"Impressive, the only Chinese-language film nominated."

"So handsome!"

"..."

Netizens are discussing it animatedly, and everyone has only one thought in mind: to wait for Chen Jin to win the award.

The crew of "Grandma's Grandson" has already gone to interview media reporters.

All the reporters rushed over in a swarm.

If you can get firsthand information about the hottest filmmaker right now, you won't have to worry about news articles.

Chen Jin stopped.

The flashes from the cameras were so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Zhu Yanmanzi stopped, arm in arm with Chen Jin, and looked at the camera in front of her with a smile in her eyes.

"Chan, how does it feel to be back in Berlin? Are you confident of winning tonight?"

After hearing the questions from the media reporters, Chen Jin smiled.

"It is a pleasure to be back at the Berlin Film Palace."

The competition on the red carpet is incredibly fierce.

The media reporters rushed to get as close to Chen Jin as possible.

"As for whether we are confident, we'll have to wait and see how the premiere goes."

Chen Jin's answer was impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.

After all, on the red carpet, the questions from reporters are often traps.

Especially on the international stage, saying too much can lead to mistakes.

Seeing that Chen Jin couldn't get any useful information out of her, the media turned their flashes on Zhu Yanmanzi.

The woman beside Chen Jin gives off a sense of timelessness and grace.

Especially the way their eyes move, they tell a story.

"Hello, are you and Chan in a romantic relationship?"

The reporters made no attempt to be tactful whatsoever.

After all, the two seemed to have a very close relationship, and they certainly wouldn't believe it if it weren't for something going on.

Zhu Yanman smiled faintly and remained silent.

When questioned by reporters, he neither admitted nor denied it.

Everything is understood without words. There is a sense of tacit agreement.

Their relationship has not been made public, but they have been photographed together by observant people on occasion, so there has been much speculation about whether they are together.

Over time.

They won't pay too much attention to this matter.

Seeing that Zhu Yanmanz did not respond, the reporters had no choice but to turn to the person in question again.

"Chan, is the woman next to you your girlfriend? How long have you been dating?"

The media reporters clearly had the intention of getting to the bottom of things.

Normally, standing on the red carpet for that long would probably have resulted in being chased away by security.

but--

This is Chen Jin!
They couldn't wait to stay longer, since popularity is a symbol of status.

"you guess."

The answer was simply two words, without any detailed explanation.

It's clear that the answer was perfectly avoided.

This somewhat discouraged the media reporters in front of them.

But then I thought, isn't the absence of a denial the answer itself?

For a while.

They have already started to have their own ideas.

I imagine today's press release will be quite a hot topic.

Chen Jin and the others continued walking towards the end of the red carpet, where Anker Engelke was beaming with a warm smile.

She was already very familiar with the name of this film genius.

Chen Jin.

The existence of a college student daring to break into Hollywood.

In just a few years, they achieved a leap in social class.

Anker Engelke has to admire this.

"Hello, Chan."

"Welcome to Berlin! I really enjoyed your movie."

Such public praise is not flattery.

This filmmaker's fan base is no longer limited to ordinary people.

His acting skills have won over many celebrities.

This includes Anker Engelk.

"Thank you!"

This is the last part of the red carpet ceremony. After the host's interview, they can enter the cinema.

"This time, 'The Chinese Family' has been nominated for the main competition. Could you briefly introduce the role you play in the film?"

This is undoubtedly free publicity.

Chen Jin naturally wouldn't refuse.

“In ‘The Chinese Family’, I play the male lead, Ah Jin, a young man struggling between family ties and reality.”

This answer can be described as quite perfect.

Without revealing any details of the story, he pointed out his identity in a single sentence.

However, it gives everyone an ambiguous feeling.

This undoubtedly serves as a hook, enticing people to watch the movie.

"..."

The host asked Wen Muye and Tian Zhuangzhuang a few more questions before preparing to let everyone pass.

"Now, let's say goodbye to the camera one last time."

The 50-meter red carpet was long enough for Chen Jin and her group to walk on twice.

Everyone gathered in front of the camera.

this moment.

It has already become eternal.

"Let's give another round of applause to the cast and crew of 'The Chinese Family'."

"I also wish Chan all the best in winning the grand prize."

Chen Jin nodded, and then led the main members of the film crew toward the location of the cinema.

"Whoo~"

Zhu Yanmanz couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, under the flashing lights, she felt like her whole face was about to freeze from smiling.

"Being a star is hard, being a star is really hard."

Faced with his girlfriend's nagging, Chen Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"It's harder to be a household name."

Wang Jingchun smoothly picked up the conversation, and this sentence was clearly referring to Chen Jin.

"I've really learned something new this time."

"From superstars and big-name hosts to fans, moviegoers, and media reporters."

"Completely captivated by the charm of our Brother Jin."

After hearing Wang Jingchun's words, Wen Muye nodded in agreement.

have to say.

The few film crews that have just joined haven't reached the level of popularity that Chen Jin has.

This is indeed true.

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Chen Jin.

When faced with flattery from others, the latter remained calm and composed.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous.

She's someone with ideas.

Chen Jin led everyone inside the cinema.

They will next watch Wong Kar-wai's opening film, "The Grandmaster," here!
This is definitely high praise from the Berlin Film Festival.

The group entered the screening room.

The entire cinema palace was already packed with people.

Upon noticing Chen Jin's arrival, some people began to approach and greet her.

"Oh! I just heard the shouts outside from inside the cinema."

"Chan's current popularity is simply terrifying."

Jude Law gave Chen Jin a thumbs up.

Despite the praise from others, Chen Jin maintained a polite attitude.

He brought the cast and crew of "Grandma's Grandson" to the third row.

The first two rows were mostly occupied by today's jury members and organizers.

As for Chen Jin and the others, they were located right next to the crew of "The Avalanche Prince".

David Gordon Green.

The moment I saw Chen Jin and her crew take their seats, I smiled and greeted them.

The film "Prince of Avalanche" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States on January 20, 2013.

at that time.

This caused quite a stir.

It's not so much about its commercial appeal, but rather its artistic value and the recognition it represents.

but--

This movie has not yet been released in theaters nationwide.

This evaluation comes solely from film critics and rating software.

Chen Jin nodded slightly.

This director's style spans quite a wide range.

He can handle independent films, comedies, horror films, basically any genre.

This time.

"The Prince of Avalanche" is also a very popular work.

There is a strong call for him to win the award.

The crowd waited quietly, with occasional bursts of conversation breaking out.

Until the final shouts subsided.

The red carpet ceremony has officially concluded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Jiawei led the judging panel to the front row.

To know.

Today's opening ceremony film is a movie by Wong Kar-wai.

With the double honor, Wang Jiawei looked visibly radiant.

"It's great to see you all again!"

Anker Engelk's voice reached everyone's ears once again.

"Tonight, we gather here together."

"Both are fighting for the honor of the 63rd Berlin Film Festival."

Applause and cheers erupted throughout the screening room.

"It's an honor—"

"The opening ceremony film for this year's event is the latest work by director Wang Jiawei, the chairman of the jury."

"The Grandmaster!"

Wang Jiawei remained seated.

The pride in his eyes was already very evident.

"Now let us witness the birth of a grandmaster with the fullest emotion!"
