Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 256 Yuanyuan shines in Berlin!

A man and a woman watching a movie seems like something only couples would do.

Yuanyuan was thinking a lot, but she couldn't stop the feeling of joy in her heart, so she just thought a lot.

Also good.

Besides, it’s quite interesting to watch your own movie alone.

What's more, he is by my side.

"The Bicycle Thief" is currently in the screening stage, so it's a good idea to watch it yourself and also see other people's reviews.

In order to hide, the two of them sat in the last row.

To be honest, there are still quite a few people coming to watch.

After all, it is the Berlin Film Festival. Not to mention the city, Germany attaches great importance to this film festival.

The situation in the cinema now is that there are a lot of foreigners and many Asian faces.

But it was not as quiet as imagined.

Yuanyuan often sees people talking about how well-educated foreigners are.

But after what she saw and heard in Berlin these days, Yuanyuan's filter was shattered.

That's all.

Just like now, it's not quiet at all.

So……

"What do you think of this film?"

“This is just the beginning.”

Based on the principle of "what you say, I say too", Yuanyuan discussed her movie with Ma Xun.

"I, there are still some things I don't understand."

In fact, this is Yuanyuan’s real purpose.

In "The Bicycle Thief", although Yuan Yuan is the heroine, she doesn't have many parts. Moreover, in terms of acting, she feels even worse than Ma Xun.

At least Mu Nianci is an important supporting role.

But, of course, it’s not good to directly say that the female lead herself is a mess, so I’ll just say that I don’t understand.

Yuanyuan is also a person who cares about face.

Ma Xun asked with a small smile, "What part don't you understand?"

"That's right, that's right... Is my role a little too much? Just because of a mountain bike incident, I fell in love with someone else? This is not right."

Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It was obvious that Yuanyuan didn't fully understand this role.

But, in fact, her role in this movie is not that "important".

The two of them are talking in low voices now, which is okay.

After all, many people do this.

However, when they whispered like this, it was easy for them to get closer and closer.

They themselves didn't feel that way, luckily, the screening room was dark.

Well, it’s absolutely right to choose the back row.

When Ma Xun talks about this movie, he doesn't have to follow the plot, after all, he had provided Wang Xiaoshuai with adaptation suggestions before.

In fact, there are many meanings in this film.

Wang Xiaoshuai is quite good at this.

Ma Xun asked, "Yuanyuan, do you think this bicycle is just a bicycle?"

"Ah? What else?" Yuanyuan looked puzzled.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Of course the bicycle is not a bicycle. In fact, in the movie, the bicycle represents power."

"What?" Yuanyuan was even more confused.

In "The Bicycle of Seventeen", the focus of the whole story is indeed the bicycle.

Merida's entry-level mountain bike.

But you have to know that mountain bikes are really popular these days.

Very popular among young people.

This trend should have started in the 1990s. Ma Xun still remembers the advertisement, Sportsman...

It seemed to be a factory in Anshan, but later moved to Tianjin.

The 28-inch model, which was once very popular, is basically no longer wanted by anyone.

It's not worth much on the second-hand market.

Well, in fact, most of the bicycles in the second-hand bicycle market are "stolen bicycles".

There are so many car thefts these days.

You can’t work as a part-time worker… Stop.

There are many people and bicycles in Beijing, and the police often have to put on a show to catch bicycle thieves.

Therefore, many cars in the used car market are particularly cheap.

This cheapness has little to do with manufacturing costs, but is determined by the work efficiency of car thieves.

If the supervision is strict, it will be expensive for a few days; if the supervision is loose, it will be cheap.

In our movie, the origin of the conflict is a car theft.

The country boy played by Cui Lin was delivering goods but his car disappeared.

Li Bin plays a young man from Beijing who wants a car. He steals money from his family and buys the car from a used car dealer at a high price.

After getting the car, he was very good at playing with it, and then attracted his classmates.

That is Yuanyuan.

Later, when Cui Lin discovered his car, he chased after it.

The two of them had a good fight.

The truth was discovered by Li Bin's father. The boy bought the car with stolen money.

As a result, Li Bin lost his car, and his new girlfriend Yuanyuan also left for someone else.

Of course, there is another plot afterwards, which is still about the fight for the car.

The fight was quite fierce, and it eventually turned into a chaotic battle.

But as for Yuanyuan's storyline...this character seems to have no soul.

Li Bin's car was gone, and then a guy came who was very good at playing with cars and could perform all kinds of stunts.

Yuanyuan immediately joined them.

Very abrupt.

And this is what Ma Xun said.

"The car is a metaphor for power. If a man loses his power, he will naturally lose his woman. Do you understand?"

Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide after hearing this, "But can't I just show a little bit of myself?"

Ma Xun smiled and said, "No, at least you in this movie don't need it at all."

"Is it because my acting is so bad? It can't be tested at all?"

"No, it has nothing to do with acting. This is what Wang Xiaoshuai wants to express. He wants to make this metaphor, so you just need to be like a puppet. Acting skills are not important at all."

"Then my existence has no meaning at all... No, what I mean is, can someone else play this role?"

"No, it does make sense, because you are the best female classmate in the eyes of all the boys in the country."

"Ah? This..."

Yuanyuan was a little angry at first, but now she blushes again.

Ma Xun is indeed good at talking.

To be frank, Yuanyuan has no acting skills, especially in this movie, it is impossible to tell how well she performed.

Everyone who has seen it knows that Yuanyuan just played a high school girl.

But, what Ma Xun meant was...

This movie just requires you to play a high school girl, that's it.

Nothing more is needed.

The key point is that you are the high school girl and the female classmate in everyone's mind.

Is this a compliment?
Yes, and it seems not.

strange.

Ma Xun was also a little surprised by Yuan Yuan’s reaction, but it was okay because it was dark and he couldn’t see clearly.

Then he added another sentence.

“The female students in this movie also have symbolic meaning, that is, they are subordinates of power and will actively cling to power.

This movie seems to be about two teenagers fighting over a bicycle, but it is actually a metaphor for the struggle for power in human society.

As for you, you played the role very well.

It just needs to be like in the movies.”

I don’t know if Yuanyuan understood.

But in fact, she didn't show any particularly amazing acting skills in this movie, but her image of the schoolgirl in this movie.

It really has a huge impact.

That’s right, compared to this movie, the role of Yuanyuan is not important, but for Yuanyuan and many boys born in the 1980s and 1990s.

The image of the female students in this movie is very important!
Yuan Yuan thought about it and finally seemed to grasp something. "The part you changed is about... Sister Gong Li's role..."

"Yes, the same thing."

Ma Xun interrupted Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan benefited a lot from it.

Yes, Ma Xun adapted the film according to the pattern of Wang Xiaoshuai’s film.

Gong Li, the female career elite on the East Third Ring Road, is important to Cui Lin, a country boy. It is only because of this mountain bike that he can go there to deliver goods and meet this female career elite.

After losing the mountain bike, Cui Lin no longer had this opportunity.

That is, if you lose your car (power), you also lose your woman.

In the original movie, it was Zhou Xun, but the character of Zhou Xun was set as the mistress of a certain boss.

Of course, this part is not elaborated in detail.

But for Cui Lin, such a role... has nothing to do with mountain biking.

Although he hit the other person while riding a bike at the beginning, that was all. Later, when he wanted to see the other person, it was no longer a mountain bike matter.

So, Ma Xun's adaptation may seem like a younger-than-I-Law love story, but in fact, it is completely in line with the overall idea of this movie.

It even makes the movie better overall.

This is also why Wang Xiaoshuai thought this adaptation was very good as soon as he saw it.

Only today did Yuanyuan finally understand all this, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"You guys have too many tricks up your sleeve."

After hearing this, Ma Xun could only smile.

In fact, bicycles represent power, this is what Wang Xiaoshuai said later. This guy's movies are really interesting and much better than those of other art films.

Otherwise, how could Ma Xun plan to recruit this guy?

And suddenly, Yuanyuan covered her face with her hands.

"what happened?"

"Oh, this shot..."

Ma Xun took one look and understood instantly.

Li Bin got a bicycle and picked up a girl, and then the two of them went to a small park.

Others enjoy the flowers and smell the fragrance in their gardens, but this guy smells the garden.

Anyway, just get close to the face.

When the filming was taking place, Yuanyuan had her eyes closed. Now looking at her... she looks so disgusting.

Sometimes it's like this, kissing may not be a big deal, but if you don't kiss, it may be very obscene.

Ma Xun had another bad idea in his mind, "How about we act it out?"

Yuanyuan was so embarrassed, "You!"

But, somehow I also want to try it.

Let’s go, why watch a movie?

Ma Xun and Yuanyuan went back to the hotel, and as they smelled each other... they kissed.

And then, hehehehe...

……

2 month 18 day.

The 51st Berlin Film Festival has come to an end.

This closing ceremony is the award ceremony.

In a short while, many guests gathered.

No matter how the nominated films are, there are a lot of big stars coming.

As for media reporters, there are countless of them.

This year, we have two Chinese films entering the main competition unit.

"The Bicycle Thief of 17" and "Love You Love Me".

There are two of them. Even if it is too much trouble for the TV station people to come here, we should also hire more local international students.

Moreover, it’s not just these two movies, many domestic filmmakers are also here.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with people coming to the film festival to show their faces.

This has always been the case.

What has changed?

But the people who came this time were different.

Brother Chen Kai is here on the red carpet!
And next to him is the well-known Hong Kong star, Rosamund Kwan!

OK, this is definitely important news.

The cameras in the reporters' hands kept flashing.

After walking the red carpet, it was time for the interviews.

Brother Chen Kai started talking about his next plans.

And then later...

"Director Chen, can I ask what you think of the two Chinese films in this year's edition?"

"Oh, of these two movies, I think Love You Love Me is better. As for The Bicycle Thief, it's obviously a movie for teenagers. I guess mature people like us won't like it."

Good guy, really good guy!

The reporters were so happy. Director Chen really dared to say anything.

"That is to say, you are not optimistic about "The Bicycle Thief"."

“Of course, but I still want to emphasize here that I recognize Director Wang’s ability, but I heard that some people want to interfere with Director Wang’s creative freedom. I want to speak up for Director Wang and all of our directors.

The creative freedom of film must not be violated!"

Ah this...

Big news!

Who is this guy Brother Chen Kai talking about?
The reporters were probably a little confused.

But no matter what, it is this kind of movie that is not liked by Brother Chen Kai.

Well, according to his connections in European films.

Wouldn’t “The Bicycle Thief” be doomed to failure?
at this time.

The crew of "The Bicycle Thief" walked on the red carpet.

You don't need to watch others, just look at the heroine.

Yuanyuan was wearing a light blue cheongsam with a white fluffy shawl.

It really brings out her beauty.

The key is that this dress has a particularly Chinese style.

It’s really very good!

Look at how the reporters perform.

Click, click, click, the shutter button was pressed like a machine gun.

Soon, it was time for the interview.

"Winning an award? In this regard, I came to Berlin mainly with a learning mentality."

Yuanyuan responded calmly.

Moreover, she seemed to be radiant.

Of course, no one knew that she was basically with Ma Xun these days.

The two of them have been doing this for four days and three nights in a row.

Being young means having good physical strength.

Well, mainly they were figuring out how to walk the red carpet.

The idea for Yuanyuan to wear this outfit was suggested by Ma Xun.

Let’s not talk about all this, can we win the award?
Soon, the award ceremony began.

This European film festival is really lengthy, with so many awards being given out.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore and started whispering.

"Teacher Chen, you don't have to target that movie."

"Targeting? How did I target you? I was just telling the truth."

"Teacher Chen, what I mean is that other people will think you are targeting me..."

"Oh, that's it. It's okay. I don't care."

Guan Zhilin said a few words, but soon discovered that Director Chen was a super stubborn guy.

Moreover, he is so narrow-minded!
forget it. I'm done here.

But suddenly!

"Best New Actress at the 51st Berlin Film Festival... Yuan Yuan Gao! "The Bicycle Thief"!"

what?
Yuanyuan is really a surprise.

This, this is not the movie queen.

But she was very happy in her heart...
