For a long time, Berlin has been one of the most historical cities on the European continent, not only because it has experienced the changes of many regimes such as the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, and Nazi Germany, the city’s buildings and streets remain the same. There are still distinctive traces of different histories and different cultures; and because it has experienced the baptism of war and wind and frost, the toppled Berlin Wall still divides the city from spiritual awareness, value orientation, and ideological aspects into a complete division. Two different areas.

This is a city full of countless possibilities. Some people will reprimand it for being boring and rigid, but some people will think it is the most free and unrestrained land in the world; some people will complain about the dullness and depression here, and others will think that Life here is full of countless surprises and sparks. In the same city, different eyes and different thoughts can dig out completely different colors here.

Maybe Munich is the economic center of Germany, bustling and noisy; maybe Cologne is Germany's art gathering place, full of countless possibilities. But none of them are Berlin. It is precisely this weather-beaten and vicissitudes city that defines contemporary Germany; it is also this city that gave birth to the Berlin Film Festival.

In 1951, the Berlin Film Festival was founded in the United States or, in a broader sense, under the initiative of the three Western allies. At the beginning of its establishment, the film festival became a stage for European New Wave directors to show their strengths, and gradually stood on the international stage. Stabilize your heels. However, the Berlin Wall still existed at that time. The so-called Berlin Film Festival, or more precisely the "West Berlin Film Festival", continued until 1974, when the first Soviet film appeared at the festival. Years later, East German films also joined in. The political/government climate has changed.

West Germany and East Germany signed a treaty and reached a cooperation agreement. Since then, the Berlin Film Festival has positioned itself as a mirror of the international film market, making the festival play a more important cultural and political/government role in the convergence and mediation between the East and the West. During the year, it was a bridge between the two ideas of capitalism and communism. Especially during the Cold War, the Berlin Film Festival was the best platform for official cultural exchanges. All this makes this movie event have a special meaning.

After half a century of development, the Berlin Film Festival, Cannes and Venice have been listed as the three major European film festivals. Berlin has always maintained its own characteristics, paying attention to culture, politics/governance, society and the international environment, and paying attention to the creation of film art. His own perseverance has gradually led to a road different from Cannes and Venice.

Although this road is full of thorns and the future is uncertain; however, with the official support of the German government/government, the Berlin Film Festival still has an inherent advantage that Cannes and Venice cannot match.

Lanly has visited Berlin many times, and he always believes that, to some extent, Berlin is one of the most dynamic cities in Europe. This is a unique choice. When it comes to "vitality", people will choose Barcelona, ​​Amsterdam, or Paris, but few people associate Berlin with vitality. But Lan Li still insisted on his own ideas.

He likes to walk in the streets of this city, peeking at the graffiti hidden in the corners in the streets and lanes, highlighting the unique personality of the artist; listening to the freely flowing melody on the abandoned playground, sketching out the singer's soul; looking for ancient buildings The secret hidden in the corner may be the handwriting of a child during the war, or it may be a prank by a young man.

Or sitting in the doorway of a bar, admiring the crowded or rigid or trendy or restrained or bold attire, without the exquisiteness of Milan, the glitz of Paris, and the elegance of London, just like weeds. Grow wantonly, but don't have charm.

"I start to wonder now, did we pick the wrong time to leave London?" Through the tall transparent glass windows of the airport, you can clearly see the spilt rice snow outside, all over the sky. When leaving, the light rain in London finally stopped; when it arrived, the light snow in Berlin seemed to have reached a high/tide.

"Berlin in February, is there a difference?" Roy murmured casually, but revealed the truth.

"At least there is no strong wind here." Before Nathan's words fell, the airport exit door opened, and a biting cold wind swept in, disrupting the indoor heating. The mouth that did not have time to close, sucked sharply. He took a breath, and then couldn't help but started rubbing his arms-even with a thick coat, it was a kind of psychological comfort.

The next second, the click of the shutter sounded violently, and the flashing flashes were connected together, and all the scenery in the line of sight was covered with a vague silver in an instant, leaving only the contours of the constantly shaking shapes. , The hustle and bustle of noise is like a tide, swarming from all directions.

Subconsciously, Lan Li's footsteps stopped. The last time the Kennedy Airport was crowded, and the Lincoln Center accident, were still deeply imprinted in memory. Subconsciously, Lan Li was still unwilling to enter the circle of crowds again.

"Lan Li?" Nathan sensitively noticed Lan Li's pause, and turned his head to cast a suspicious look; Roy's footsteps also stopped.

Lan Li let out a breath, his beating heart calmed slightly. He knows that facing the audience, facing the siege, and facing the enthusiasm is part of the actor's work in itself, and it also comes from the audience's affirmation of the actor's work. The same goes for paparazzi and reporters. He cannot enjoy the satisfaction brought about by this job, but refuses to accept the negative effects brought about by this job. This is wrong.

Everything has two sides. Even dreams are no exception.

Raising his head, Lan Li showed a smile, nodded towards Nathan and Roy, indicating that he was okay, then took a step forward, walked forward, and finally stopped at the exit of the arrival hall, and was generous. To meet the reporters' lens, keep polite and demeanor, accept the baptism of the photo frenzy.

The flashing light lasted only for a short time, about fifteen seconds or so, and gradually calmed down, and the line of sight became clear again. You can see that there are about a dozen reporters standing in front of them, everyone with long guns and short cannons on their backs. There was also a briefcase that he carried with him, an expression of excitement; outside the reporter's encirclement, there were forty to fifty spectators scattered around the periphery in an orderly manner, waving and laughing constantly.

The scene is very lively and full of enthusiasm, but it is not crowded and enclosed as imagined. To be precise, reporters and audiences are slowly retreating, allowing enough space and keeping enough distance. Xu's welcome lineup looks lively but warm.

"Len Li, welcome to Berlin!" I don't know who yelled, and other people sparsely yelled, "Welcome!", "Master, you are so attractive!"...a few shouts, It caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere seemed to be more lively, but the distance was still not close, and the space for politeness was always maintained.

Lan Li was slightly surprised, then smiled up, and politely nodded to the reporters and the audience. Seeing that everyone didn't plan to ask questions, he took a step forward. As he moved forward, the reporters and spectators also followed the movement, but the road directly in front of him gave way in advance, and one can clearly see a passage going straight to the black van parked on the side of the road.

Coming to the side of the van without any hindrance, Lan Li hesitated for a moment, stopped, and shouted at the reporters and audience, "Thank you!" After he waved his hand, Lan Li turned and sat in. After Nathan and Roy got on the back seat of the van, the van slowly drove out of the parking space and drove away.

For the first time, Lan Li felt the difference in this city. This is not London, not New York, not Los Angeles, nor Toronto, but Berlin. Even during the Berlin Film Festival, the city also displayed the unique temperament of the Germans and welcomed filmmakers from all over the world with a distinctive attitude.

Within a short 20-minute drive, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and modern sights are in sight~www.novelhall.com~ Vans are entering the most dynamic and vibrant area on the west side of Berlin, restaurants, theaters, Shopping arcades, cinemas, office buildings, shopping malls, casinos and other strongly modern buildings have everything; at the same time, above Potsdamer Platz, there is a broken Berlin Wall, reminding tourists and citizens of the past. The history of the region-

This is the new urban center where the Berlin Wall was demolished and the design and construction began in 1993. At that time, it was the largest construction site in Europe, and now it has become the most colorful area in Berlin. Every year, the Berlin Film Festival is held here; at the same time, Sony’s European headquarters is also located here.

The car slowly stopped in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is the press center of the annual Berlin Film Festival and the official hotel where actors and directors stay. The main venue of the film festival is two blocks behind the hotel and can be reached on foot. For movie lovers, this area is a place of pilgrimage every year.

From a distance, you can catch a blockbuster movie fan wandering in front of the hotel in front of the hotel. The black and heavy area makes it unclear to count. It may be two or three hundred people, or perhaps more than a thousand people, scattered in the hotel. In every corner of the surrounding streets, even the falling rice grains and snowflakes failed to extinguish their enthusiasm.

When they noticed the official shuttle bus sent by the Berlin Film Festival, everyone swarmed up, cheering and shouting, while craned their necks curiously, trying to get a glimpse of the real body of the big car inside the car. Loud noises, calls, and shouts are endless. Before entering the Berlin Film Festival, I have already felt the fanaticism from here.
