It was only the first day of publicity that Renly felt a sore back. However, he was not sure if it was an illusion of old age created by the vicissitudes of life, or the physical pain that the body actually felt, but it was possible. What is certain is that at 11:15 in the middle of the night, when all the interviews finally came to an end, he had to stand up and move his body. Even if he walked all day or practiced martial arts all day, he didn't feel anything. so tired.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel room, looking at this quiet and solemn city, most of the urban areas have fallen into darkness and entered night mode early; Recklessly continue to party. Potsdamer Platz is one of them.

Being in one of the three biggest film festivals in Europe and wasting time in a room like this is definitely the biggest regret. So, Renly changed into a light and low-key outfit, a simple black T-shirt with black jeans, plus a black motorcycle jacket, and quietly left the hotel room.

On the wet street, the voices of young people talking loudly echoed, but it seemed a little lonely, as if the whole city had fallen into a deep sleep, only the lonely people were dancing, and there was no background music. Crossing the street, Renly came to the cinema at the Sony Center again. He did not deliberately choose a movie, but bought a movie ticket with the closest show time at random, and then quickly entered the theater and disappeared into the lively crowd. .

It's fun to exchange ideas with fans, but at the same time, it's fun to enjoy a movie by yourself.

After entering the screening room, Renly picked up a poster of the movie's introduction, found a place in the corner, sat down, and then began to browse the information of the movie. "Just the Wind", a work directed by the Hungarian director Benedek-fliegauf, two names that are completely unfamiliar, have not heard of the director and have not seen the film .

Renly, however, got a little excited—one of the festival's greatest charms is digging out unfamiliar films that he hasn't heard of or seen, and sometimes from small countries like Algeria or Lithuania. work.

After reading the introduction carefully, Ren Li had some anticipation, raised his head, and saw two figures walking up the steps head on. They stopped two steps diagonally in front of Ren Li, and seemed to be discussing whether to sit or not. Beside Renly.

It was only then that Renly realized that there were two movie introductions on the seat next to him, which should have been left after the last movie viewing. He quickly picked up the two small posters and gestured politely, "This place is empty."

During the conversation, Renly only saw the faces of the two people at this time - because of the backlight, a ceiling light just happened to be projected over the gap between the two people's ears, so that only a vague outline remained on the faces. Not so sure, but with a full head of instant curly hair, a shaggy little crook, and the iconic cowboy moustache, just a silhouette is enough to make it recognizable: joel-coen , Ethan-Coen.

One of the most famous director brothers in Hollywood, he is also the flagship figure of American independent film and the representative of black humor film.

For ordinary audiences, "No Country for Old Men" is undoubtedly a thunderous work, as is "Thunderbolt", which completed the reversal of the Jedi at the Oscar nomination stage last year; but for veteran fans, the two brothers directed works when they were young But it is a classic enough to be among the greatest in the history of the film, "Blood Labyrinth", "Barton-Funk", "Frozen", "Murder of Green Toes", "Raising Arizona", each of which is a masterpiece!

The great thing about the Coen brothers is that they brought black humor independent films into the public eye, but still maintained the style of independent films. Even No Country for Old Men, which won an Oscar, is one of the least Oscar-winning best pictures. Not only that, their support for independent films has never changed, and they appear on time at the Sundance Film Festival almost every year.

Renly has always liked the films of the Coen Brothers very much. In their lens language, they are always full of irony and sigh of reality, but they have never lost the sense of humor in suffering, which is really rare; it is a pity that Renly I never had the chance to meet these two brothers at Sundance and Telluride, but I didn't expect to meet them today in Berlin.

The smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but start to rise, Renly stood up and took the initiative to say hello, "Good evening."

Joel and Ethan both stopped and cast their eyes. Joel is the older brother, with a face head, taller and longer cheeks; Ethan is the younger brother, with a small flat head and a beard, like a kiwi.

The Directors Guild of America stipulates that a film is not allowed to have two or more directors signed, to avoid the situation where some directors are only named, but do not really contribute; unless another person is not affiliated with the Directors Guild, which has historically led to Lots of disputes. So, in name, Joel is the director and Ethan is the producer, but in real life, there is no clear distinction between the two brothers' work. A few years ago, the Directors Guild of America revised and adjusted the relevant regulations, and after that, the Coen brothers were able to sign the director at the same time.

Ethan is the producer - at least in the official name. He has a more gentle personality and a smiling face. At this time, he noticed Renly's polite greeting. He was a little surprised, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded. a bit.

Joel, on the other hand, is the director in name, with a very sharp character, a hot temper, a frown, an expression of impatience revealed, and he said straightly, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Ren Li blinked, but didn't realize what was going on with such a sharp attitude. Just as he was about to speak, Joel turned around in the next second, turned his back to Ren Li, and left in the opposite direction. This is no longer a matter of attitude, it can even be said to be a clear face.

Renly was confused. He didn't remember any kind of confrontation with the Coen brothers, much less when he offended Joel Coen. What exactly is going on?

Ethan didn't leave, he stopped in the same place, looked at Joel, then looked at Renly, a helpless smile appeared on his face, nodded apologetically to Renly, and came from behind. Joel's voice, "Ethan, there's a seat here, come here." Ethan didn't explain anything, and didn't say anything more. Although he was polite, he also assumed a cold and distant attitude, and politely turned and left.

First Joel, then Ethan.

Renly really didn't remember how he had offended these two bigwigs in the American independent film industry. The scene was a little embarrassing for a while - because the two brothers had turned away and left, it was Renly who was embarrassed. However, dealing with such embarrassment was a trivial matter in the high society, and Renly burst into laughter.

More curiosity than embarrassment.

"... That's a guy who is full of copper stench and is famous for his reputation... It must be... I tell you, at this time, any means are used... How is it possible... If you don't believe it, watch it..." The quiet auditorium In , Joel did not deliberately speak loudly or quietly, with a trace of disdain and rejection, passed through the air, spread over, and landed in Renly's ears.

"...Harvey Weinstein can't believe it...you believe what the media says... Okay, quiet, quiet, the movie is about to start..." Then came Ethan's words, fragmented fragments of words , Because of Joel's interruption, he listened more carefully, and then the words were cut off, but instead of quieting down, two audience members appeared.

The two audience members looked like senior movie fans and came to the Coen brothers excitedly, expressing their love for the works directed by the two brothers. This time, the Coen brothers didn't change their faces at all, on the contrary, they talked to them with a gentle attitude and smiling faces.

Renly couldn't help laughing. Although the information was incomplete and not enough to piece together the whole picture, the key information was enough to make a judgment.

It seems that Hollywood has become a powder keg now, and the competition for college PR has ignited a war. In fact, Renly is a little curious. Everyone throws dirty water on each other, swears at each other, and slanders each other. One set, that scene was absolutely brilliant.

However, curiosity was just curiosity, Renly would not inquire, nor would he bother to inquire. Hollywood is a big dye vat, rumors and rumors are endless, if every message has to be responded to, then the actor should simply switch to public relations or paparazzi.

After quieting down, Renly refocused on the big screen. After just a short while, the lights dimmed and the movie started showing.

Surprisingly, this is a fantastic movie.

Ironically, the film tells an interesting story: in a small village, a family was brutally murdered and killed, and the murderer quickly left the scene, so no one knows what happened and what happened. Another family living not far away was unscathed in this accident, but the speculation, isolation, accusations, and vicious gazes from the village made them live in fear.

This is a bit similar to the Danish movie "Hunting", where everyone speaks loudly and destroys bones. Gossip can often become an invisible executioner. It's just that in this movie, the blood flow is really created, which is slightly less shocking than "hunting", but it is still worth thinking about.

From the movie back to reality, the associations are really interesting. As they left the auditorium, Renly fell slowly behind, and Joel and Ethan walked ahead, accompanied by a few audience members.

As he was about to leave the auditorium, Ethan looked up and his eyes met Renly's.

Renly gave a polite smile and nodded; Ethan paused a little, didn't respond, didn't say anything, looked away, walked side by side with Joel, and left with the crowd.
