Millennium director

In the early morning of February 5th, Berlin time, the Chinese Army arrived at Berlin International Airport.

This time when the Chinese Legion went to Berlin, China Film Group was very proud and rented a floor in the Grand Hyatt Berlin for everyone to use.

The Grand Hyatt Berlin is located in a famous tourist area with beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. It is also very close to the venue of the Berlin Film Festival. Many international superstars choose this hotel to participate in the exhibition.

What is the biggest feature of Berlin, or Germany?

Wu Yuan experienced this on his first day in Berlin.

There are really many sausages.

An authentic local dinner, in addition to the characteristic crispy pork knuckle with sauerkraut, the rest is a variety of sausages, each with a different taste.

Anyway, for carnivore Wu Yuan, this kind of diet is quite a novel experience.

I had a satisfying German-style dinner with the crew members and had a good night's sleep to get rid of the jet lag.

Early the next morning, Wu Yuan got up to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival.

The two crews of "Big Shot" and "Fantasy Eyes" did not receive invitations to the red carpet of the opening ceremony, but they were able to enjoy life in Berlin as they pleased.

However, the crews of "The Embalmer", "Happy Days" and Xu Anhua's "Man 40" have to get up early in the morning to do makeup.

In a suite on the same floor of the hotel that served as a temporary dressing room, Wu Yuan also met director Xu Anhua and the actors from the "Man 40" crew.

Director Xu Anhua is a very powerful female director. Her films "Half a Lifetime", "A Thousand Words" and "40 Men" were all very good, and she was also shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition.

However, Wu Yuan prefers her future film "Sister Tao". She can be regarded as the last great director of art films in the era of the end of Hong Kong films.

But after meeting him in person, he obviously found that the director was difficult to get along with. At least he was not the kind of director who was willing to chat with other people. He was very taciturn.

On the contrary, Zhang Guorong and the actors from the "Man 40" crew quickly got along well.

The heroine of this movie is Sister Mei, and the male protagonist is also an acquaintance, Jacky, and Zhang Guorong is like a fish in water between them.

Teacher Li Xuejian from the crew of "The Embalmer" and the actors from the crew of "Happy Time" directed by Yimou also got along well.

Not only was he the second male lead in "The Embalmer", but he was also the second male lead in "Happy Days". He even walked the red carpet twice during the opening ceremony!

It can be seen how narrow the circle of top Chinese-speaking actors is. Most of them know each other and have worked together, and even starred in several movies at the same time.

In this way, the members of the three crews were chatting and doing makeup, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Wu Yuan also had a new hairstyle and put on a pure black suit under the arrangement of the stylist. The stylist also put a golden handkerchief in the pocket of the suit jacket as an embellishment.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the three crews who had put on makeup got into the limousine car and set off for the Film Palace under the arrangement of the film festival organizing committee.

This year's Berlin International Film Festival is different from previous years. The higher authorities attach great importance to it and have prepared a press group to go to Berlin in advance.

Wu Yuan no longer has to face the embarrassment of no one recognizing him at the opening ceremony like the last time he attended the Sitges Film Festival.

As soon as the limousine arrived outside the Cinema Palace and opened the door, Wu Yuan's ears were filled with familiar Chinese.

"Director Wu, look over here!"

"Director Wu, how do you feel about being selected into the main competition unit of this Berlin International Film Festival?"

"Director Wu, smile!"

"Director Wu, when will "The Embalmer" be released in China!"

"Director Wu, which film are you most optimistic about winning the Golden Bear at this Berlin Film Festival? Is it your own "The Embalmer"?"

The domestic reporters who saw Wu Yuan were so excited!

There is no way, Wu Yuan is too low-key and does not accept any public interviews. It is difficult for everyone in China to interview him.

Now there is finally a public event where you can meet him, so you have to catch him and have fun!

Wu Yuan also understood the thoughts of domestic reporters. He grabbed Zhang Guorong, who was one step behind him and got out of the car, and walked to the area with mainland reporters to accept interviews.

"Well, since I can be selected for the main competition unit, of course I hope to win the award."

"Guorong's performance also deserves a Best Actor award!"

"If it is released in China, it should be after the Spring Festival."

"As for the box office, I don't have too high expectations, just leave it to the audience."

After getting some responses from Wu Yuan, the reporters did not let Zhang Guorong go and turned their guns to target him.

"Mr. Zhang Guorong, how do you feel about your first visit to Berlin?"

"Director Wu said that your performance in the movie deserves a Best Actor award. What do you think?"

"Compared with Director Wu and Director Wang, what is the difference in the styles of the two directors? Which director's shooting style do you prefer?"

Compared to Wu Yuan, Zhang Guorong is so professional when dealing with reporters. Regardless of whether the question is sharp or not, he can answer every question smoothly and smoothly without offending anyone. At the same time, he can also boast.

There are endless comments about Director Wang's beautiful shots, Director Wu's good composition, Director Wang's emphasis on artistic conception, and Director Wu's emphasis on plot. The summary is that both directors are very good, but I am not worthy.

Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong were interviewed, and the excitement among mainland reporters quickly attracted the attention of other reporters on both sides of the red carpet.

Every year, at least 2,000 to 3,000 reporters from all over the world rush to the Berlin International Film Festival, and there are countless reporters who know Hollywood.

Wu Yuan is not only a Chinese director, he is also famous in Hollywood and is currently popular in the director circle!

Soon, many reporters from North America and Europe noticed Wu Yuan and immediately surrounded him.

"Daniel, congratulations on being nominated for this Berlin International Film Festival!"

"Daniel, will you return to Hollywood to make movies next year?"

"There are rumors that Disney intends to invite you to direct their A-level major production project next year. Is this rumor true?"

"Director Wu, "Juno" won multiple Oscar outpost awards. Many authoritative Hollywood media predicted that "Juno" will be shortlisted for multiple Oscar awards. Will you attend then?"

"Daniel, "Juno" has a global box office of 210 million US dollars. There are rumors that Fox Searchlight will develop a sequel. Will you write the script yourself?"

Not only mainland reporters, but also European and American reporters have even fewer opportunities to meet Wu Yuan!

After this guy finished filming "Juno", he returned to China. From December to January, he did not attend any of the major Oscar outpost awards in North America. He concentrated on editing the film in Beijing.

"Juno" won the Best Musical/Comedy Film Award and the Best Musical/Comedy Actress Award at the Golden Satellite Awards.

It won the Best Comedy Award at the Critics' Choice Awards, the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Writers Guild of America Awards, and was nominated for multiple Golden Globe Awards.

But no one from Wu Yuan was present. All the other main creators of the crew attended and took charge of the ceremony on their behalf.

It can be said that "Juno" is almost certain to be nominated for an Oscar. However, North American entertainment reporters don't know much about Wu Yuan and can't even interview him!

Now that Wu Yuan is finally caught alive and talking, he must hurry up and take enough photos to satisfy his desire for interviews!

Half an hour later, relevant reports were sent back to China and North America via the Internet.

Domestic media are relatively reserved, with very formal headlines.

It's different in Hollywood.

[China Wu made a high-profile appearance at the Berlin International Film Festival and was sought after by thousands of media reporters at the scene! 】

[Creating another legend after "Juno", can Daniel Wu break the record of Berlin's youngest award-winning director? ! 】

[Halle Berry boldly expressed her love for Daniel Wu at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival and looks forward to working with him! 】

Although the media reports on both sides of the ocean had different titles, they all used the same picture.

It was a photo of Wu Yuan with arms spread out, thumbs up, standing on the red carpet and looking at the camera with a confident smile.

If it weren't for the special introduction on the photo, viewers who saw the report would have a hard time believing that this tall, handsome, high-spirited young man was actually a director, not an actor.

Oh, he did come as an actor last time he came to the Berlin International Film Festival.

All in all, at the beginning of 2002, Wu Yuan made headlines in the film circles of China and the United States!
