Until entering the arena, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were still in a state of blurred vision.

Li Sheng pulled her to find the place that belonged to them, and they sat down. Fortunately, Li Sheng's production team is simple enough. When arranging the seats, in order to consider race and language, Li Sheng was also in the same row as the National Teacher's production team. of.

Zhang Ziyi lowered her head and was still getting used to the dryness of her eyes. Li Sheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her to wipe her eyes, so that the involuntary tears from her eyes would not stain her makeup.

After a long time, Zhang Ziyi raised her head, her eyes were a little red, she smiled apologetically at Li Sheng, and returned the handkerchief.

Li Sheng took it and nodded, without saying a word, he watched the stars enter the arena one by one with his arms around his shoulders.

But then Li Sheng saw Shu Qi again. She came in with Guan Jinpeng. Really, she was on the other side of the national teacher. When she saw Li Sheng, she was obviously stunned, as if she didn't understand Li Sheng. Why did Sheng get mixed up with the national teachers again.

However, Li Sheng just nodded his head as a gesture of acquaintance, and didn't talk about it in depth.

……

An official event like this is never short of long speeches, and the Berlin Film Festival is no exception.

The first one to go up must be the local official government. Barabara said a lot, sorry, I don’t understand German!
Anyway, Li Sheng clapped when others applauded, and smiled when others smiled, just like the last time in San Sebastian.

After the official, it was the turn of the topic. It was Moritz de Hader who came up, and another barabara. Li Sheng was a little sleepy after hearing it, but he couldn't show it. It was so sad.

Bored and bored, he looked around at the stars around without a trace, and found that everyone was probably the same, and he didn't know how long Hader had been talking about. It was finally over, and then he went to the opening film.

Speaking of this film, Li Sheng had heard it many times in his previous life, but he seemed to always want to watch it but was always delayed.

The Million Dollar Hotel, also known as the Million Dollar Hotel.

Li Sheng didn't remember who the director was. Why he wanted to watch this movie was because of Resident Evil, because Alice, that is, Milla Jovovich, was the heroine.

Think back when Resident Evil started making money around the world, Alice in a red suspender dress had a lot of fans, and Li Sheng was one of them.

According to the information provided by Han Sanping to Li Sheng, this film is co-produced by Germany and the United States. The director is called Wim Wenders. I have never heard of it, but it is said that he is also a master. That kind, and successfully won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, can be regarded as a literary cafe.

And this Grand Hotel is a transformational work, which is also a common problem of literary directors. After reaching a peak, they will consider taking a different path to develop themselves.

But these can't attract Li Sheng. The only ones who attracted Li Sheng's attention were Milla Jovovich and another supporting actor, Mel Gibson.

Why did Mel Gibson make Li Sheng pay attention!
Because this master is also the one who opened the hook, sometimes Li Sheng even wondered if this guy had the aura of the protagonist!
He debuted in 77 and became famous in 79. After sweeping the Australian film industry, he moved to Hollywood and spent ten years transforming and practicing. With "Braveheart", he won the Oscar and Golden Globe Award for Best Director in 1995. , this is the most successful transformation, bar none.

These two appearing together in this film, together with Wim Wenders, who was born in a literary cafe, and it is called a transformational work, it is still a bit interesting to think about it.

The movie started hastily.

……

The general story is that a homicide occurred in a hotel where three religions and nine elites gathered. The FBI played by Mel Gibson came to investigate, and then all kinds of deflation, closed doors, and finally successfully bought a fool and a prostitute, and then continued to investigate the story.

The silly actor is called Jeremy Davis, Li Sheng has never heard of it, and the prostitute is Milla Jovovich.

Although it is said to be a commercial film, Wim Wenders, who was born in a literary cafe, did not complete his transformation very well. Although his film style is not very different from his previous films, if you really look at it from the perspective of the United States, this The quality of the film can only be regarded as mediocre, and it still retains a lot of habits and styles left by him when he was playing literary fan.

Furthermore, the movies that come to the film festival are usually special versions, such as uncut, such as extended versions, and the same is true for the Million Dollar Hotel, 122 minutes, which is considered super long.

Sullen, depressed and anxious, this is what Li Sheng probably felt after reading it. If he really wants to find something beautiful, it may be the slightest touch mixed with these emotions.

Of course, Wim Wenders still has a lot to praise, such as the picture and music, and the metaphorical irony in it.

Blue, the skyline of the city in the film is always haloed in such a charming blue that no matter whether it is a psychedelic poet or an infatuated idiot, they all blend into it with forgetfulness, and there are only these two in the world. Humanoids are so romantic.

The fictitious million-dollar hotel, just like the arrogance of the name, is inhabited by strange people from nowhere, a utopia for mentally ill patients, but because a media tycoon's son fell to his death, it became the focus of the media in the city, and the entire hotel Fryer, in order to cover up the Jewish suicide scandal, the tycoon hired the FBI to find the culprit murderer among this group of lunatics.

Isn’t this the attitude towards the Jews before satirizing Germany? The Jews escaped from Hitler’s hands and gained a foothold in the United States, becoming a backbone force in Wall Street and Hollywood. deutsche.

Coupled with the joint investment of Germany and the United States in this film, the unknown behind this is even more intriguing!
At this time, Li Sheng finally deeply experienced the strong political atmosphere in the Berlin Film Festival!
……

Leaving aside these Li Sheng also can't explain the nationalism or politics that is unclear and even more incomprehensible. The story is still a good story, and love is also a vigorous love.

Mel Gibson's performance is quite satisfactory, there is nothing commendable, maybe that's why he didn't attend here.

Milla Jovovich feels like a Caucasian Mr. Zhou, introverted, quiet, nervous, all kinds of things mixed together, that kind of explosion from the inside out.

As for the starring Jeremy Davis, he gave everyone a big surprise. His performance is also very aura. Although he is not very skilled, it is very flavorful. The first thing Sheng thought of was his brother!
After watching the whole movie, Li Sheng suddenly remembered two lines.

"will you Love Me?"

"meeting."

"Will you always love?"

"meeting!"

In Zhou Gongzi's lines in Suzhou River, Peony finally jumped into that waveless, light gray obscure river and ended herself.

And TOM and Louis seem to be the same.

"do you remember me?"

"I remember everything."

"everything?"

"Yes, everything!"

Then, and then there is no more.

Start, run, swing your arms, stride forward...

Turning his head to the right, who is he smiling at, who is he waving at, who is the last nostalgia and nostalgia in his eyes.

When he jumped up with a smile, he opened his arms like wings, and in the mist of the morning light of the city, he chose a downward flight.

The ending is the same as that of Peony. Although some of the lines are not clear, Li Sheng seems to understand something.

Then, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart, an idea to take a hysterical literary journey.

Watching the characters go to life, die, pursue freedom, and seek love, at this moment, Li Sheng has no distractions and distractions, as if he has let go of all the noise and hustle and bustle of the world.

Perhaps this is really the real charm of the performance.

Li Sheng thought.
