Berlin has always been one of the most historic cities on the European continent, not only because it has experienced the change of multiple regimes such as the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, and Nazi Germany, but the buildings and streets of the city remain the same. Remaining distinct traces of different histories and cultures; also because it has experienced the baptism of war and wind and frost, the Berlin Wall that was torn down still divides the city into a completely different city in terms of spiritual consciousness, value orientation, and ideological level. 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 that this is the most free and unrestrained hot spot in the world; some people will complain about its dullness and depression, and some people will think that Life here is full of surprises and sparks. In the same city, different eyes and different thoughts can dig out completely different colors here.

Perhaps Munich is the economic center of Germany, prosperous and noisy; perhaps Cologne is the gathering place of German art, full of countless possibilities. But none of them are Berlin. It is this weather-beaten and vicissitudes of life city that defines contemporary Germany; it is also the city that gave birth to the Berlin Film Festival.

In 1951, the Berlin Film Festival was founded in the United States or, more generally, on the initiative of the three Western Allies. In the early days of its establishment, the festival became a stage for the European New Wave directors to flex their muscles and gradually established itself on the international stage. Steady your heels. However, the Berlin Wall still existed at that time. The so-called Berlin Film Festival, more precisely the "West Berlin Film Festival", continued until 1974, when the first Soviet film appeared at the film festival, a Years later, East German cinema joined in. The political/political climate has changed.

West Germany and East Germany signed a treaty to reach a cooperation agreement. Since then, the Berlin Film Festival has positioned itself as a mirror of the international film market, enabling the festival to play a more important cultural and political/political role in the convergence and mediation between East and West. For years, it was a bridge between the two ideas of capitalism and communism, especially during the Cold War, and the Berlin Film Festival was the best platform for official cultural exchange. All this makes this film event special.

After half a century of development, the Berlin Film Festival has become one of the three major film festivals in Europe alongside Cannes and Venice, while Berlin has always maintained its own characteristics, focusing on culture, politics, society and the international environment, and on the creation of film art. Its own persistence has gradually made it walk out of a road different from Cannes and Venice.

Although it is said that 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 innate advantage unmatched by Cannes and Venice.

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

He likes to walk in the streets of this city, and glimpse the graffiti hidden in the corners of the streets, which shows the unique personality of the artist; listen to the melody flowing freely on the abandoned playground, outline the soul of the singer; look for ancient buildings The secret hidden in the corner may be the handwriting left by a child during the war, or it may be a prank of a young man.

Or sitting at the door of a bar, admiring the comings and goings of people, rigid or trendy, restrained or bold, without the sophistication of Milan, the glitz of Paris, and the aloofness of London, just like weeds. Want to grow, but do not have charm.

"I'm starting to wonder now, did we choose the wrong time to leave London?" Through the high transparent glass windows of the airport, you can clearly see the rice grains of snow outside, all over the sky. On departure, the light rain in London finally stopped; on arrival, the light snow in Berlin seemed to be at a high/tide.

"Berlin in February, is there any difference?" Roy casually complained, but told the truth.

"At least there's no gust of wind here." Nathan's voice didn't even fall. The airport exit door opened, and a biting cold wind swept in, stirring up the heating in the room. He didn't have time to close his mouth and took a sharp breath. After taking a breath of cool air, he couldn't help but start rubbing his arms - even through a thick coat, this is a kind of psychological comfort.

The next second, the sound of the shutter clicked, and the flashing lights were connected together, and all the scenery in the sight was instantly covered with a blur of silver, leaving only the shapes and outlines that were constantly shaking. , the bustling noise is like a tide, swarming from all directions.

Subconsciously, Renly stopped. The crowd at JFK Airport last time, as well as the accident at Lincoln Center, are still deeply etched in the memory, and Renly is still reluctant to enter the circle of the crowd again subconsciously.

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

Renly let out a small breath, his beating heart calming down a little. He knows that facing the audience, facing the siege, and facing the frenzy is itself a part of the actor's work, and it also comes from the audience's affirmation of the actor's work. And so do paparazzi and journalists. It's not right that he can't enjoy the satisfaction of the job and yet refuse to accept the negative side effects of the job.

Everything has two sides. Even dreams are no exception.

Raising his head, Renly showed a smile, nodded towards Nathan and Roy, indicating that he was fine, then stepped forward, walked forward, and finally stopped at the exit of the arrival hall, graciously Facing the cameras of reporters, he maintained his courtesy and demeanor, and accepted the baptism of the photo frenzy.

The flashing light only lasted for a short time, about fifteen seconds, and then gradually calmed down, and the sight became clear again. It can be seen that there are about a dozen reporters standing in front of them, each of them carrying long guns and short cannons. There is also a briefcase with an excited expression; outside the circle of reporters, there are 40 or 50 spectators, all of whom are scattered around the periphery in an orderly manner, waving and laughing constantly.

The scene was full of excitement and uproar, but there was no crowding and containment as imagined. To be precise, the reporters and the audience were slowly stepping back, leaving enough space and keeping enough distance. The welcome lineup was lively but warm.

"Renly, welcome to Berlin!" I don't know who shouted, and the others also sparsely shouted, "Welcome!", "Master, you are so charming!"... A few shouts, It made everyone else burst into laughter, and the atmosphere seemed to be more lively. However, the distance was still not narrowed, and a polite space was always maintained.

Renly was slightly surprised, and then his smile rose. He nodded politely to the reporters and the audience, seeing that everyone had no intention of asking questions, and then took a step forward. As he moved forward, the reporters and the audience also followed, but the road in front of him gave way ahead of time, and a passage could be clearly seen going straight to the black van parked on the side of the road.

Arriving at the side of the van without any hindrance, Renly hesitated for a while, then stopped, recovered and shouted to the reporters and the audience, "Thank you!" In the back seat of the van, after Nathan and Roy got in one after another, the van slowly drove out of the parking space and walked away.

For the first time, Renly felt the difference in the city. It's not London, it's not New York, it's not Los Angeles, it's not Toronto, it's Berlin. Even during the Berlin Film Festival, the city has a unique German temperament, welcoming filmmakers from all over the world with a unique attitude.

In just 20 minutes' drive, the scene of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and modernity comes into view. The van is entering the most dynamic and lively area on the west side of Berlin, with restaurants, theaters, shopping promenades, cinemas, Office buildings, shopping malls, casinos and other buildings with strong modernity have everything; at the same time, there is a broken Berlin Wall above Potsdamer Platz, reminding tourists and citizens that this area once had the history——

After the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the design of the new city center began in 1993. At that time, it was the largest construction site in Europe, and now it has become one of the most colorful areas in Berlin. The annual Berlin Film Festival is held here; at the same time, Sony's European headquarters is also set up here.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is the press center of the annual Berlin Film Festival and the official hotel for actors and directors. The main venue of the film festival is just two blocks behind the hotel and within walking distance. For movie lovers, this area is an annual pilgrimage site.

From a distance, you can catch a large number of movie fans wandering in front of the hotel. The darkness is so dark that it is impossible to count them. Maybe there are two or three hundred people, or more than a thousand people, scattered in the hotel. In every corner of the surrounding streets, even the falling rice grains and snowflakes did not dampen their enthusiasm.

When they noticed the official shuttle bus sent by the Berlin Film Festival, everyone rushed up, cheering and shouting, while stretching their necks curiously, trying to glimpse the real body of the big name in the car in advance. The noises, calls, and shouts are endless. Before entering the Berlin Film Festival, I have already felt the fanaticism from here.
