That year Huayu

In Berlin in February, the temperature is not very high. The sun is clearly shining in the sky, but the temperature is only around zero degrees.

When Lin Nan and his group walked out of the airport, they could clearly feel that the air was extremely dry.

Because the wind blowing in the face is really like a knife, and it hurts the skin of the person.

"Sissi, put on your mask."

Lin Nan warned Liu Yifei beside him, who was already fully armed, with a large mask covering his face, his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and his hood turned up.

"Lin Nan, over there." Liu Yifei called softly.

Following the direction indicated by Miss Liu, Lin Nan saw the organizing committee's motorcade holding a pick-up sign, and Tom was also beside it.

"Tom."

"Forest?"

Tom, who was chatting with someone, looked over when he heard the sound, and his face instantly showed joy.

He trotted over, breathing heat that was visible to the naked eye. Because he was wearing a down jacket, he looked even more bloated.

"Lin, Crystal, you don't need me to arrange a car to pick you up from the airport today. The organizer of the film festival has arrangements, okay."

As he spoke, Tom pointed at several staff members who were following behind him.

"Lin, welcome back to the Berlin Film Festival. As arranged, you will stay at the Victory Palace Hotel. Are you ready to go now?"

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, then nodded to the foreigner in front of him, "Well, let's go to the hotel."

A group of ten people, plus Tom and three others, took six vehicles and drove all the way from the airport to the Tagore Berlin Victory Palace Hotel.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the back seat, Tom sat in the passenger seat, and the three of them shared a Mercedes-Benz.

On the way, Tom started talking about the official arrangements of the film festival.

"The day after tomorrow, the Berlin Film Festival officially opens. "Manchester by the Sea" will have its world premiere as the opening film at nine o'clock.

Lin, as required, you must be present at the premiere. There will be a large number of filmmakers, directors and actors coming. Because the opening ceremony movie has such an influence. "

To be honest, it was the first time for Lin Nan to enjoy this kind of treatment, and she was really flattered for a while.

But at the same time, this also means that even if "Manchester by the Sea" does not win the grand prize, its copyright will definitely be sold at a high price.

Because the three major opening ceremony films in Europe are so special, representing an honor and strength, not to mention the opening ceremony film that was shortlisted for the main competition.

"I understand, do you have to get up early then?"

While Lin Nan was joking, he glanced at Liu Yifei beside him and was punched fiercely.

After more than half an hour, the convoy arrived at its destination.

Although Tagore's Berlin Victory Palace Hotel is not a five-star hotel, it has a long history and has hosted many Golden Bear directors.

Lin Nan still remembers that when he came with "Buried Alive", Wang Quanan and Yu Nan lived here, which was also arranged by the Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee!

"Director Jiang and the others seem to be staying at the Hilton Hotel, not far from here."

In the room, Liu Yifei took Lin Nan's and her own mobile phones and looked through text messages and social software messages. They were all sent by people in the circle who had already arrived in Berlin.

"Idle time is idle. After lunch, let's dress warmly and go to the exhibition area to have a look?"

Lin Nan suggested, mainly because it was really boring.

For a director, isn’t the fun of a film festival just to watch movies? It is also very interesting to screen targets in advance.

"Okay." Liu Yifei agreed.

…

Although the opening ceremony of the film festival is the day after tomorrow, the Berlin Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe, has the attributes of a global film copyright trading market and is not affected by the opening/closing ceremony time.

A large number of participating films are often in place one week before the opening ceremony, and they begin to be slowly wrapped up one week after the closing ceremony.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went out together, accompanied by two assistants, two bodyguards and Tom.

The huge poster of "Manchester by the Sea" occupies the largest advertising space outside the exhibition area.

Looking from a distance, one can see Leonardo's decadent, lifeless, and extremely sad face, as well as his eyes that were as numb as a walking zombie, which was extremely conspicuous.

Many tourists, film dealers and filmmakers who come and go will stop and stare more or less, and then walk into the endless film exhibition area with curiosity.

"'Cinderella'?"

Not long after entering the exhibition area, Liu Yifei seemed to have discovered a new world and shouted in surprise.

"Crystal, the Disney princess series live-action film "Cinderella", will also have its world premiere during this film festival. I heard that they intend to release it simultaneously in the North American and Chinese markets."

Tom, a conscientious bastard, said immediately.

"Premiere? Simultaneous release?"

As soon as Lin Nan finished muttering, Liu Yifei pulled her towards the exhibition area of ​​the live-action movie "Cinderella".

"Cate Blanchett plays Cinderella's stepmother...the cast is really quite big."

Director Lin Da commented, "The Devil's" look is also very cool!

"Lin Nan, after the opening ceremony, shall we go watch the movie?"

Liu Yifei looked back at Lin Nan, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"Can you give me two tickets?"

Lin Nan spoke directly to the people in the "Cinderella" exhibition area.

"Of course, Director Lin Nan."

Good guy, several people were a little confused for a moment. Could it be that they are still acquaintances?

Perhaps seeing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's surprise, the other party smiled and said:

"When Crystal Liu was dubbing "Frozen" at the headquarters, we met Director Lin Nan. And you just won the Golden Globe Award in Hollywood not long ago."

Well, Lin Nan's memory is not as good as the other party's.

Liu Yifei has happily accepted the movie ticket: "Thank you."

Under normal circumstances, movie tickets for premiere films at the film festival will not be available to the public until after the opening ceremony. Being able to give it in advance does have an element of Lin Nan's "facial brushing".

Several people walked around the exhibition area. There were quite a few blockbuster films, including several domestic films.

Among them, the one that has received the most attention is "Wolf Totem" because the director is the Oscar-winning director for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Manchester by the Sea" can be said to be overcrowded.

Lin Nan’s appeal also includes Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain, and he has just won four Golden Globe Awards and six Oscar nominations. These factors combined make this movie irresistible. It doesn’t even work to attract attention.

"Hey, Crystal, guess what I just thought of?"

Suddenly, Tom howled loudly with an excited expression on his face.

Lin Nan was startled by this guy and looked at him with contempt.

"What? Tom."

Liu Yifei was a little confused and didn't know what Tom wanted to say.

"Crystal, I just thought that one of Disney's princess series seems to be an Oriental? Haven't they been developing live-action movies these years? Maybe you have a chance?"

Tom, this bitch, is really a qualified bitch.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Yifei's reaction, he looked at Lin Nan again, "Lin, you have to work hard! You are Crystal's backing..."

Liu Yifei was immediately amused. She hugged Lin Nan's arm and couldn't stop laughing. She even forgot about the pie that Tom drew in his last sentence.

"In your last life, you were born in the year of the dog, and you were also a horse breeder. You are very good at flattering others!" Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh and complained.
