The shutter sound gradually calmed down, the flash gradually dissipated, and the press conference site gradually revealed its original appearance. The venue that could accommodate 300 people was full, full, and crowded with audiences; cameras were placed in the central aisle and the open space on both sides, and recording was in progress. , the busy figures stuffed the surrounding space without any gaps; behind the venue, there was a large number of staff standing bustlingly, crowded with people, excited and excited figures surging in the shadows without lights.

The room is always filled with a surging hot breath, like the sun rising in the morning, filling the entire space.

This is the fifth day after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. The first press conference at 9:00 in the morning, the theme is a small-cost independent film, but the press conference hall is crowded, not only the seats of the venue are packed early. It was sold out, and even the staff couldn't wait to come in and join in the fun, as if the focus of the entire film festival was gathered.

At this year's Berlin Film Festival, despite the gimmick of Meryl Streep accepting a lifetime achievement award, the overall competition section was silent and starless.

Among the finalists for the main competition are Christian Petzold, who is considered to be the representative of the "Berlin Pie", an independent film movement started by young German filmmakers, and Nicholas, who wrote the original "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" script. Nikolaj-arcel, mads-mikkelson, the last great star of Danish cinema, and Diane Kruger, who made her career as a model-turned-actor (diane-kruger), and the acclaimed new generation of actors Alicia-vikander and lea-seydoux...

However, the influence of these filmmakers is only limited to the scope of Europe, and even within the scope of Europe, they are far from being a pivotal figure. Speaking of well-known and influential directors, actors or screenwriters around the world, even American actor Billy Bob Thornton can’t be counted. This famous Hollywood bad boy has limited influence on the world stage. .

Perhaps the biggest names at this year's Berlin Film Festival are Vittorio-taviani and his younger brother Paolo-taviani, the brothers who are directors in Italy The film industry enjoys a pivotal position. In 1977, he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes with "My Father and My Lord". In 1986, he received the Venice Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a representative of Italian neorealism.

However, the Taviani brothers are over eighty years old and gradually entering the later years of their artistic creation careers. It can be said that it is difficult for strong men to rely on them to attract focus and create topics.

Looking at the shortlist of the entire main competition unit, the "detachment" jointly created by Tony Kaye and Renly Hall is undoubtedly the hottest spot. The former has gained a firm foothold in the European art scene by virtue of the "American X-Files" fourteen years ago; the latter, like a comet, has risen rapidly in the past two years, and now it has become a well-deserved leader of the new generation. one.

Especially Renly, "Fast and Furious 5", "Love Crazy", "I'm Anti-Cancer", three works and three steps, enjoy high popularity all over the world; what's more, this year In the awards season of 2019, with the excellent performance of two works, Renly has occupied a place. The Oscar nomination list just announced, this is the best proof, there is no doubt that Renly has become the top of the Berlin Film Festival this year. The most talked about topic maker.

As a result, the "detachment" press conference appeared so grand! There are not enough seats for 300 journalists, the film festival staff are also involved, and the press conference at 9:00 in the morning is crowded.

This kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by top Hollywood stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt; such a grand event is not comparable to Cannes, but it is comparable to Venice, which is really rare in Berlin, which has always been cold and serious.

Even the well-informed Tony Kaye couldn't help showing a look of surprise at this time, turned his head, and then saw the surprise in Renly's eyes, the two exchanged glances, and both chuckled lightly. stand up. The liveliness and success of the press conference means that "detachment" has won more attention, which is undoubtedly a good start.

At this moment, a voice came from the side of the stage, "The press conference starts now, and the reporters can start asking questions."

The speaker should be the host of the press conference. Renly couldn't help laughing, "Is it just now? Isn't the questioning session already started?" A joke made the reporters burst into laughter.

Renly shrugged slightly, raised his hand and picked up the mineral water bottle in front of him, twisted it open, raised his head and took a sip of water. Strangely, the entire venue fell into silence, all eyes fell on Renly, which made Renly lift the mineral water for a while, and looked at Tony suspiciously.

Tony turned sideways on purpose, facing Renly, and chuckled lightly, "The questioning session has already begun, but you didn't name any reporter, and they couldn't stand up to ask questions."

Rarely, Ren Li was slightly stunned. He always thought that at the press conference of the film festival, the host was responsible for the show and the control, which is the case with the Toronto Film Festival. Will be the same, completely stocking mode.

corner of mouth

His smile rose helplessly, "Sorry, this is my first time attending such a grand film festival, it seems I still have a lot to learn." Renly said into the microphone easily, then raised his right hand to signal. For a moment, give Tony the space to control the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, Tony said into the microphone, "Does anyone want to ask Renly a question?"

Swipe, the reporter's right hand was mostly raised in the audience, and some people couldn't hold back their excitement, their body slightly left the chair, and their right hand was as high as possible, and they kept shaking, hoping to attract Renly's attention. As a result, the venue suddenly turned into a forest of arms, a dense forest swaying in the wind, which is truly spectacular.

Such a scene can be called a scene. Renly's right hand holding the mineral water stopped in mid-air, turned to look at Tony's schadenfreude expression, and then turned to look at Sammy, Betty, and the others on the other side. The water was put back on the table, "So, the first question..." Renly looked down the stage, swept it casually, then politely extended his hand and pointed in one direction, "This lady, yes, bring The lady with the blue scarf."

In an instant, the other raised right hands were put down in unison, and then everyone looked at the reporter in unison. She also stood up and said to the microphone in front of her, "Renly, I'm the 'Silver Screen'. 'The magazine's reporter Anna, this is your first visit to the Berlin Film Festival. What is your impression of it? How do you feel?"

Standard official questions, giving actors or crew the opportunity to "show love" to the festival.

"I think I'll choose the word 'passionate'." After Renly finished speaking, there was a low laugh at the scene, and even Renly himself couldn't help but smile, "I know, I'm also a little surprised by this. Choice. But the truth is, this is really my impression of Berlin in the last 18 hours."

"Since arriving at the airport yesterday, the city has been showing me a rich history, friendly fans and a rare atmosphere. Yesterday afternoon, I met a lovely group of fans in front of my hotel and one of the boys gave me a gift A 'detached' movie poster, that's the first time I saw the actual poster." Renly said with a smile, "Just before the press conference, other fans heard about it and gave it away. I have a brand new poster. I really can't think of a better way to start this festival."

"Maybe a brilliant sunny day can do it." Tony, who was sitting next to him, complained without warning, and the reporters couldn't help laughing.

Renly couldn't help but smile, and replied, "If you came from London, you wouldn't say that." To put it mildly, the weather in London turned dark, and the reporters at the venue burst into laughter. The voice was so warm that it interrupted Renly's follow-up words. He had to stop his smile and pause for a moment before continuing.

"Not only that, last night, I went to the cinema to watch this year's exhibitors, where I met many audience members and we shared a lot of views on the film. Their positivity and initiative really left a deep impression on me. ." Renly shrugged slightly, "So, yes, enthusiasm, that's my first impression of the Berlin Film Festival."

The questions were well-established and the answers were well-established, but Renly's calm and humorous style made the atmosphere of the venue lively.

Immediately afterwards, Renly was in a forest of raised arms again, and ordered the second reporter, "You regretted missing the Golden Globe Awards two weeks ago because of the filming of 'Edge of Tomorrow', what do you have to do with that? What do you think? Also, can you tell us about the work 'Edge of Tomorrow'?"

Questions are still in the official form of politeness, but the theme has shown a slight edge.

However, this is not difficult for Renly, "The film work that has just been completed; the award ceremony that I regret to miss, that is another story. This is Berlin, if I don't want to be kicked out by the main committee. As for the stage, I think, let's go back to the focus of today, what do you think?"

Four or two avoided those sensitive/sensitive topics, but didn't go on a rampage or change the topic without any room; on the contrary, the joking tone successfully made the reporters chuckle again. The third question that followed, naturally became much more normal, "Can you introduce the work 'Transcendence' to the audience? Is there anything interesting to share in the process of working with Tony Kaye? "
