It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

After agreeing to Li Yang's invitation to Berlin, Chen Fei began preparations.

The opening of the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival is February 6, 2002, which is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which happens to be during the Chinese Spring Festival.

In view of the fact that he still had to complete the challenging task, Chen Fei simply decided to go there early.

This was his first time going abroad. This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he didn't want to miss it.

There are more than 180 films of various types from all over the world participating in this Berlin Film Festival, of which 23 films have been shortlisted for the main competition.

And "The Blind Shaft" is one of the finalists!

This means that Li Yang's previous promise is indeed true, and he is really sure to participate in the competition.

Even if there is no chance of winning the grand prize, as long as it is shortlisted, it proves that the film has a chance to make money back.

No matter whether you make more or less in the end, at least you won’t lose money...

The last class ended with the excitement of the whole class.

After the teacher left, the classroom suddenly burst into warm cheers!

Some people simply packed their things and hurried to the dormitory, obviously to catch the train tonight.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were not in a hurry. They held books in their arms and walked slowly to the dormitory with Chen Fei.

However, on the way back, Zhu Yawen still couldn't hide his anger and kept yelling at Zhang Lu!

Luo Jin on the side also smiled bitterly.

No one expected that Zhang Lu would do such a trick to them on the last day.

Running away, turning off his phone... He made it clear that he was not prepared to pay back the money.

"What's there to be angry about? Let's wait until next year comes. I don't believe he can drop out of school?"

Chen Fei's words awakened the two of them. Zhu Yawen stopped scolding, but he was just mumbling something.

Luo Jin on the side asked: "Chen Fei, what are your plans for the winter vacation? Will you continue to join the group?"

"Probably not." Chen Fei shook his head and explained: "Yitian has fixed the schedule. The premiere time in the mainland is March 12. I will probably have to help with the promotion during this time."

Yitian?

Luo Jin was a little envious: "You played Song Qingshu in it, right?"

"Yes, this should be regarded as my first TV series. I hope I can have a brilliant performance." Chen Fei said with some expectation.

In the evening, the three of them started to pack their luggage and shared their winter vacation arrangements.

Luo Jin wanted to go back to his hometown for a while, so Zhu Yawen used his family connections to find the crew of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and played a small supporting role in it.

By noon the next day, Chen Fei was the only one left in the dormitory.

In the afternoon, Chen Fei received a call from Lai Shuiqing.

The promotion of Yitian Mainland is about to begin, and he has to start running various variety shows and interview shows with the main creative team to warm up and promote the premiere here.

By the time I saw Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen again, it was already January 21st.

As the two leading heroines in Yitian, both of them are very excited about Yitian's achievements in Taiwan.

Gao Yuanyuan was even more excited and said to Chen Fei: "Just yesterday, Yitian's ratings in Taiwan rushed to 6.34, rising to the first place in Taiwan's ratings!"

With a smile on her face, Jia Jingwen echoed: "So far, the ratings of TV series such as "Meteor Garden" and "My Fair Princess" are all in the sky."

"Hey! You're so awesome!"

Gao Yuanyuan was a little confused when she saw Chen Fei looking shocked, as if it was the first time he heard about it.

"Don't you usually pay attention to the three major portals? There will be real-time news coming out of them, especially the entertainment sector, which is particularly hot nowadays."

Sohu, NetEase, Sina...these three are collectively known as the three major domestic portals.

Chen Fei shook his head: "I have been very busy with courses recently, and I haven't had time to buy a computer yet, so I haven't had the chance to browse these."

While talking, Chen Fei secretly made a decision in his heart.

It was now the winter vacation, and he had more and more free time. He had to get to know the products of this era.

The follow-up publicity went smoothly.

The creative team traveled between various variety shows, promoting various interesting things during the filming.

Lai Shuiqing and several screenwriters appeared on a talk show to talk about their understanding of Yitian's original work and the various degrees of restoration of the original work during filming.

After such a wave of operations, Yitian's popularity can be said to be rising steadily.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Fei also followed a wave of "Happy Camp" and met Teacher He Jiong, whom he has always liked.

The Happy Camp this time is still hosted by He Jiong and Li Xiang, and there are not as many messy hosts as there were later.

After following the team to the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Fei took the time to return to the company.

Feiyue Film and Television Media Company, which only had two front rooms, looked particularly lonely and pitiful. When Chen Fei opened the door and walked in, two employees were sitting together eating melon seeds.

Seeing Chen Fei come in, the two stood up awkwardly.

The company has been open for a few months, but apart from the investment contract with Li Yang, there is no other business.

The two of them have been staying in the office for almost a whole few months. Now that they see Chen Fei coming back, are they still a little worried that he will bring some bad news?

For example...shut down!

"Take some time to clean up. I'm on vacation. I'll come back to work on the 7th next year."

"good!"

The two of them felt happy and nodded hurriedly.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Fei got on the green train, then transferred to a bus, a minibus, a tricycle... After going through "a lot of hardships", he returned to his hometown.

The old man was still so leisurely. He made a deck chair and placed it at the door, just rocking back and forth.

Seeing Chen Fei coming back, he smiled and raised his tobacco bag and waved it, and then directly ordered: "Xiao Fei is back? Clean the yard quickly. It's almost the Chinese New Year and there's no cleaning yet."

Chen Fei: "..."

There were no outsiders at home. On New Year’s Eve, the grandfather and grandson were watching the Spring Festival Gala and making dumplings.

Feng Gong once again partnered with Guo Donglin to cheer for the national football team, and his crosstalk performance "On Stage and Off Stage" won unanimous praise from the audience.

It's a pity that the national football team themselves are not up to par!

2002 passed so unconsciously.

After visiting the grave on the second day of junior high school, Chen Fei said hello to the old man and embarked on the journey to Berlin.

On February 4, he met Li Yang who was picking him up at the airport.

"Good morning, Director Li." Chen Fei greeted him warmly.

"International flights are prone to delays. I've been waiting for almost an hour." Li Yang complained, and then led him out: "Eat first, and then I will take you to the hotel."

The two got into a taxi, and Li Yang communicated with the driver in English with ease.

After informing the other party of the destination, he turned to look at Chen Fei and said, "If nothing else happens, our film should be able to sell for a good price."

"Can you win a prize?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows.

"It's probably no problem." Li Yang had a smile on his face and seemed confident.

Film festivals in Europe have always liked realism. To put it bluntly, they have only one requirement for films.

awful!

The reality and tragedy of "The Blind Shaft" clearly fall into their category.

After eating a sumptuous feast of sausages and potatoes, Li Yang arranged for Chen Fei to stay next door to his hotel room.

"You have a good rest and get off the jet lag, and I will go out to promote it and try to get good results for our movie."

"OK."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement.

There was a computer in the hotel room. After taking a shower, Chen Fei logged into the Sina portal.

As soon as I clicked in, I saw this hot search pinned to the top of the home page.

"'Hero' was invited to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival. Zhang Yimou personally led the team and the team chartered a flight to go!"

"Huh? Is this what the rich crew does?"

Chen Fei sighed secretly, imagining when he would be able to have such a big deal.

After resting in the hotel for a day and following Li Yang for a day of promotion, February 6th came in the blink of an eye.

The film festival has officially begun!
