Berlin in February always carries a lingering gloom. The endless clouds completely isolate the sun from the city. The stubborn branches stretch out stubbornly in the air, uttering in the sound of the rustling wind. The creaking noisy, the sight is always gray, black and white, as if the whole world has returned to the black and white era in an instant, no extra color can be found, the air slowly condenses like this, and the cold deep into the bone marrow disappears from The cold street penetrated through the soles of the feet, and a brain rushed toward the heart. (Starting)
Kevin got out of the car and saw the desolation in front of him. The ruins of the Berlin Wall broke in from the line of sight. When he turned his head, he could see the wall that was still not completely demolished, standing still incomplete. In the Potsdamer Platz site of the construction project, it is not abrupt at all, and people can't help but think of the life scene before the wall was torn down. There is an inexplicable desolation spreading between the bricks. At this time, a biting cold wind blew his face, drilling from the collar of the shirt to his back, and the biting air instantly tightened all the muscles in his body, causing Kevin to shiver twice. , I just feel that the whole person wants to curl up.
"Damn weather." Kevin muttered, then walked forward quickly.
The Berlin Film Festival always has to face such a situation. The bad weather is prohibitive. It takes a lot of courage to leave the warm spring of Los Angeles and come to this icy Berlin. However, the Berlin Film Festival in the past two years has been very lively. If it is excusable that Hugo came to Berlin last year, then this year seems a bit weird because Hugo did not exhibit any works, but Hollywood’s However, a group of bigwigs arrived in Berlin together. The grand scale even exceeded the Golden Globes a month ago, so that the big-ticket media reporters had to follow closely, lest they missed important news with their negligence.
The main venue of the Berlin Film Festival is arranged next to Potsdamer Platz. After Kevin got off the bus, he went straight ahead. There were no large numbers of fans standing guard on either side. The whole scene was extremely deserted, if not for the flags fluttering in the wind on both sides and the red eye-catching front. The banners clearly reminded that this was the main venue, and even made people suspect that they were in the wrong place.
After pushing the door to enter the infield, the scene suddenly became lively. Everyone turned their eyes to the door. After realizing that the person was a face they didn’t recognize, the fans again retracted their gazes and started talking in detail, but the media reporters did not. Pressing the shutter one after another, the expressions on the reporter's face looked a little strange.
Kevin quickly learned the truth about the reporter's expression. After accepting a brief interview, Kevin entered the hall inside and saw Michael Roselle, who was both happy and happy.
As the new chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Michael's ability is beyond doubt, and strictly speaking, they are all "foreign reporters", so they have more advantages abroad, and this is their home field. Therefore, it is not surprising that Michael was able to get in the water today.
Michael also saw Kevin, and after apologizing to other people around him, he greeted him straight away, "Look, isn’t this the biggest bold CEO in Hollywood? How did you come to Berlin? Does this mean that this year? Berlin will surprise us?"
Kevin was a little confused. At this time last year, the Golden Globes wanted to cramp the Berlin Film Festival. This year, it is reasonable to say that this year is half a catastrophe, but why Michael, the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, appeared in Berlin? This is really strange, but Kevin doesn't care too much, as long as the other party asks for it, it will inevitably reveal clues.
"This sentence should be right for me. At present, the most active director of the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood has actually appeared in the cold and dry Berlin. I have smelled the smell of big events." An old fox like Kevin, naturally It was impossible to be caught by Michael, and a word was thrown away, so that Michael couldn't continue. Both of them laughed, but their eyes were deeply concealing their true purpose.
After a brief greeting, Michael and Kevin left with their own thoughts. Michael walked towards Barry Meyer, the current head of Warner Bros., Kevin's footsteps were slightly slower for a while, and he could see Michael moving forward. There is a vague thought in my mind.
As we all know, after "Independence Day", Hollywood has entered a new era, whether it is the use of computer special effects or the output of investment scale, earth-shaking changes are taking place.
In fact, before "Independence Day", this situation has caused countless controversies. Among them, the most steadfast supporters of the idea of high production and high return are Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. And now, after the great success of "Independence Day", these two companies have also taken the lead in the next three years of film plans, leading the other six major film companies by half a step.
So, Michael’s choice today seems intriguing. Although things cannot be seen on the surface, Michael’s ability to run the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is obviously not a persimmon, but at least Kevin can feel some vague context.
Withdrawing his gaze, Kevin walked towards Paramount’s CEO Shirley Lansing, “What happened to Berlin this year? I just saw Barry just now. I also met Lang at the hotel last night. Now you Actually appeared? Could it be that there is any treasure here?" It was Shirley who spoke first, preemptively.
Kevin chuckled, "I came here specially for'Romeo and Juliet'. We have high hopes for this work. Of course, I heard that there are several good projects under the Berlin Film Festival sponsorship fund, and I also I won’t deny my interest.” Kevin said half-truth, “What about you? I remember that Paramount didn’t make a finalist in Berlin this year.”
Faced with Kevin’s question, Shirley did not panic at all, but smiled calmly, "If I said I was here because I was worried about Leonardo, you would definitely not believe it." Paramount and the twentieth century Fox is collaborating to film the "Titanic", but apart from that, the two parties are still competitors. "In fact, Buzz called me not long ago and said that he and a friend in Paris had a new idea. I I think it's very interesting, so I want to come and have a look."
Kevin will naturally not believe this nonsense. Buzz-Ruman has finished filming "Romeo and Juliet" and is currently taking a break. There is no idea for a new work at all. "Should I feel a sense of crisis? Because Thomas only met with him not long ago. I said that we should sign a cooperation agreement for three works with Baz. He thinks Baz is very good. So, are you digging a wall?"
Shirley seemed to be a little surprised, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your remarks have made me more optimistic about him. Maybe his proposal is really worth looking at." Shirley was also in circles with Kevin. The entire conversation just now It is estimated that no part is true.
Shirley's gaze suddenly paused slightly, and then went on to say, "Cameron told me last time that the movie's finalization must be postponed for one month. Now that one month has come, not only did he not finish, but he was overspending again. You Do you know what's going on?"
Kevin noticed Shirley’s pause, and when he swiped his gaze, he saw Mark Canton. It’s no surprise that Mark actually appeared with Rick Rosen. No wonder Xue Lidu inevitably showed a little flaw. Kevin's head started to work, but the words did not stop. "Cameron said that the scene of the shipwreck took longer than expected. After the main part of the filming is over, he still has some shots to make up, and he has an idea of the ending. There seems to be some problems with the idea."
What Kevin didn't say is that Cameron's hesitation about the ending came from Hugo. Only a few people know this episode, and these people are direct descendants of 20th Century Fox, so even Shirley did not hear anything about it. Kevin believes that keeping this secret is good for them.
"So, he guessed..." Kevin groaned, "It should be possible before the end of March at the latest."
"I only pray now, he won't stretch out his hand for a check anymore." Shirley rolled her eyes, but she was very elegant, expressing her opinion. This may be the most true sentence so far.
Although Kevin and Shirley are talking, they are actually doing two things, paying attention to the whereabouts of Mark and Rick. No, Rick walked straight in this direction. However, Kevin and Shirley still maintained the posture of talking, as if they hadn’t seen Rick at all. When Rick appeared in the front of the line of sight, Shirley showed a surprised expression, "Look at it. , Who is this, Robert is about to laugh today."
Shirley refers to Robert Shaye one of the two CEOs of New Line Film Company. Although New Line Film Company has been acquired by Warner Bros., it still maintains its autonomy. , So people still treat it as an independent company.
The occasion they attended today was the premiere of "Love and War" in Berlin, which was produced by New Line Pictures.
"Even if we are there, there is no way to create any topic, I think Robert will be disappointed." Kevin's meaningful little humor immediately made everyone laugh. Immediately afterwards, Kevin asked very naturally, "You two will show up together, I didn't expect it."
Mark cast a line of sight at Kevin, but Kevin was very calm, without spying or taunting, which made it impossible for Mark to start. Mark turned his mind slightly, turned his head to look at Rick, smiled, and said solemnly, "I took the initiative to find Rick, because I have a project in my hands, and I think Hugo will be interested. So. I want to talk to Rick in detail."
Unexpectedly, Mark actually stated the true purpose without any cover, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
