PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
In 1992, February 2th, Valentine's Day, the second day of the opening festival of the 14nd Berlin International Film Festival.

The judges, guests, film critics, media people, tourists, etc., all entered the familiar rushing rhythm,

The 'Vulgar Legion' led by Wu Xiaozu is no exception.

The main competition unit has selected 27 feature films this time.

"Pulp Fiction" became the opening film of the main competition unit, which is enough to show that the Berlin Film Festival attaches great importance to Wu Xiaozu, a famous international director who is now well-known.

The official program of the Berlin Film Festival also made an exclusive interview with Wu Xiaozu.

Near the movie palace, you can see "Pulp Fiction" promotional posters everywhere, and any magazine on the street is full of hard and soft promotions about it.

Most of the big-name filmmakers in the main competition this year are from Hollywood.

Martin Scorsese brought "Cape Fear" and Lawrence Kasdan, an all-American screenwriter, also brought "The Grand Canyon" directed by him.Barry Levinson, director of Rain Man fame, returns with Beeth.

Of course, these big names also include Director Wu, who has flourished in both art and business.

The rest are either the direct descendants of the Berlin Film Festival, or various well-known directors and newcomers in the film industry.

In terms of stars, Robert De Niro is considered a big-name actor this year.

In front of the movie palace gate, there is an endless stream.

Many people walked into the screening hall on the right with ticket stubs in their hands, and this screening hall of "Pulp Fiction" became the hottest existence.

no way.

Although there are 27 films in the main competition, they are actually considered non-competition works, and more than 200 films participated in the Berlin Film Festival.

Audiences, film critics, and the media choose which movie to watch sometimes like scratching the lottery.Sometimes when I enter the movie theater, I realize that this is a title party...

The whole movie is a cutting-edge work that is extremely experimental but hardly tells a story. It is definitely not a good experience to feel dizzy.

Therefore, tickets for Wu Xiaozu, a highly acclaimed and highly story-telling director, has become a sought-after item for everyone.

The screening hall with more than 1000 people was overcrowded.

Not only the media, film critics, and audiences are eagerly looking forward to it, but many filmmakers also want to see what the legend of this young director, who was hailed as "one of the most anticipated directors in the 90s" by the "Film Handbook" is. place.

Many emerging filmmakers are making the pilgrimage.

What are you laughing at?

Although Wu Gou is a scumbag, his good reputation is like that ghost floating over Europe.

A well-known newcomer to Xiduan.

What's more, the other party does have this strength. In Asia and Europe, they hold a large number of distribution channels and resources, which is extremely attractive to many newcomers.

At the same time, Wu Xiaozu's film composition, color, structure, and style have indeed influenced many newcomers.

The once dwarf mule on the streets of Causeway Bay has now become a big guide that everyone kneels and licks...

"Director Wu—"

No. 0 director Guan Jinpeng walked two steps quickly, a rare smile appeared on his gloomy face.

No way, he just fell out of love.

Probably, only he who is trapped by love can shoot and edit the pain of 'Ruan Lingyu'.

"Wu Sheng."

Zhang Manyu changed her usual posture, her whole person is elegant and intellectual, the brows are full of the charm of the Republic of China, the softness and melancholy linger between her delicate body, and her gestures release charming rhythms.

In her previous life, she did not come to Berlin because of the filming of "Police Story 3".This life appeared at the Berlin Film Festival because of different filming plans.

"Your state really made me see the best posture of a Chinese actress." Wu Xiaozu looked at Zhang Manyu, who had faded from his childishness and impetuosity, and truly showed his charm.

She was baby fat when she was young, but she was not amazing among all the actresses.

But now after the baptism of time, she began to exude that MILF aura.

In the Chinese film industry, Gong Huangman is a god, and the world can be at ease.

If you take both, you can't take off? ?
Unfortunately, the two never had a chance.Although they are co-starred in "China Box", there is actually no rivalry.It can be regarded as a pity for the Chinese film industry...

"Thank you Wu Sheng."

Zhang Manyu shyly lifted the lower part of her perm. At this time, she had just finished filming "Ruan Lingyu". She was not so much Zhang Manyu as she was twin lotus.

"I expect you to break the zero breakthrough of Chinese actors in the three film festivals. When "Ruan Lingyu" premiered in Berlin, Aguan, please remember to reserve a seat for me." Wu Xiaozu joked with a smile.

Director No. 0 Aguan smiled shyly, but he also showed a thankful expression.

Wu Xiaozu's influence in Europe is definitely at the top level.His support in this way is enough to see the other party's intention of 'supporting'.

After all, 'Ruan Lingyu' is produced by Golden Harvest.

You must understand that it is very difficult to mediate between film companies and film companies on secondment of actors, let alone the big boss of a company who takes the initiative to help the other party's film platform? ?

What is Hong Kong Island Rider?

At the same time, this time "Ruan Lingyu" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, and it was also because of the opportunity given by Wu Xiaozu at the previous Academy Award promotion meeting, which attracted the attention of the film selection director of the Berlin Film Festival to this film.

"Thank you, Director Wu." Aguan thanked quickly.

"Thank you Wu Sheng." Zhang Manyu also bowed slightly to express her gratitude, her slender eyebrows revealing a sense of coquettishness and pity.

Wu Xiaozu smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, especially when Zhang Manyuyu's back was patted, the latter trembled slightly unnaturally.

Once upon a time, 'Zhang Damin' also caressed Ruan Lingyu like this.

Looking at Wu Xiaozu with a complicated expression in the middle of a kind of European and American director, Zhang Manyu looked away complicatedly.

But in the blink of an eye, the water waves in his eyes became 'He Qing Hai Yan' and returned to normal.

When she filmed "Ruan Lingyu", she felt that she had experienced the other person's life.Even, she felt that she in reality was the former Ruan Lingyu...it was indeed very similar.

Well, when she acted in "Ruan Lingyu", she also just came out of emotional intelligence.

So, at the right time and in the right precipitation, she met Ruan Lingyu.

Good.

"Pulp Fiction" screening room.

A short, thin old white man wearing a top hat and woolen coat and wearing large black-rimmed glasses walked in quietly, followed by an unruly man with a mole on the right side of his cheek.

Both of them kept a low profile and hurriedly sat down in the back row.

"The movie was a hit."

Robert De Niro glanced at the audience who kept walking in the door, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "Many people said that this movie will be a big hit at this year's film festival."

"The movie has had a big awards season, and a lot of people are raving about it."

Martin Scorsese said calmly: "It is rare for an independent film to produce such a work that is well received by the mainstream media and film critics."

"His "Seven Sins" is really wonderful."

De Niro shrugged, "He is very close to that bastard Harvey, and Cage is also his friend. This movie is starring Cage..." Seeing that the other party was puzzled, he explained with a smile, "Ke That bastard boy from the Paula family."

Nicolas Cage is himself a member of the Coppola family.

Hearing that it was the hippie boy from the old friend's family, Martin Scorsese nodded with a smile, and lifted up the sunglasses in front of him, revealing the reading glasses inside.

They are not the only ones in the theater.

There are a lot of well-known filmmakers in the industry.

Most are low key.

In the middle row, a girl with a pure face, deep and sunken eyes, a charming girl with a classical charm of a lady leaned on a chair, with her legs propped up and her sweater on, and two Martin boots were taken off underneath... …

The man next to him glanced at the shoes in disgust, raised his head - his expression instantly became peaceful, and he squeezed out a smile that he thought was very attractive at the other party.

People with beautiful feet naturally don't smell bad.

How can fairies have sweaty feet?
The girl twitched the corner of her mouth at the man very perfunctorily, but still made the licking dog next to her overjoyed, raising her wrist from time to time, with a urging expression on her face.

"Damn it, I really don't know when it will start." The man showed off the Rolex on his wrist again, and flatteringly said to the fairy next to him, "Miss is alone?"

"Actually, this movie may not be as exciting as expected."

"Is this your first time in Berlin?"

"If you finish watching the movie, I can drive you back to the hotel in my Mercedes. Of course, I know there is a very authentic Italian restaurant nearby..."

"Shut up!"

The girl raised her middle finger in disgust, and said sweetly, "Sir, your mouth is like eating raw pork that has rotted for half a month without hair loss."

Uh……

The man was silent for a moment, his whole face looked like a swollen pig's liver.

The more you think, the more angry you become.

Evil is born to the gall.

Out of the corner of his eye, the guy saw that the girl didn't notice him, and his eyes showed anger from embarrassment.

Then he—

Moved one of the girl's Martin boots to the side with his foot, and then slowly kicked it to the front row...

In the movie hall, Wu Xiaozu circled among many film critics and filmmakers.

"Let Mr. Philip take my place."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and gave up his position to the deputy editor-in-chief of "Sight and Sound".

"I hope that more audiences can appreciate my works."

Wu Xiaozu made a joke with a smile.

"Sight and Sound" has repeatedly ranked his films among the top ten most anticipated films of the year. To reciprocate, it is natural to show your respect.

"This is really the happiest thing that happened to me today. It seems that Wu is very confident in your work." Philip joked with a smile.

He was nicknamed by many people as 'the picky and vicious guy'.

Every year, many movies made by big-name directors will receive "bad reviews" from him, and he will not soften his mouth at all because of his relationship...

Spielberg, Coppola, and many major directors in Europe have all been criticized by him.

"I really have confidence in myself." Wu Xiaozu shrugged.

How to be a movie rider without confidence?
"You aroused my expectations."

Philip showed an interested expression. You know, he has always been very demanding of famous directors. If he is just living on his laurels, he is really merciless...

As the theater was full of pits and valleys, the movie officially kicked off.

PS: There are more.
