Chapter 542: The Berlin Film Festival
"It wasn’t like that!" Qin Guan was upset . Meanwhile, his fans were discussing the film happily on his blog and on OMG . He pointed to the computer .
"Never believe the gossip you read online . "
There were many posts about the details of the film . People analysed the film carefully, especially its sex scenes . Some fans even asked Qin Guan what he had thought of Julia’s big mouth . They were jealous of him, which made Cong Nianwei even angrier .
"Why do you always go for these wild indie films? Not every indie film needs to include a sex scene! You have many choices . There are family films, war films . . . Be careful with your choices in the future . "
"Okay, okay!" You are the boss! Your punishment is like honey for me!
People made fun of henpecked men, but they loved their women very much . There was a wide gap between men and women when it came to strength . They were not afraid of their women . They just respected and loved them a lot .
. . .
At Miramax’s invitation, Qin Guan attended the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival . His film had been nominated for an award .
The festival had started in the early 1950s and made an international impact by the late 1980s .
Qin Guan’s film proved once again to people all over the world that it didn't need any intervention from external forces, be that a nation, politician or public figure .
A good film was enough to be liked by people all over the world .
The Berlin Film Festival was one of the top film festivals in Europe . Compared to Cannes and Venice, it was much younger and more energetic .
The award season was always changing so it could compete with the other two festivals, but this didn’t influence the passion of the participants .
Frustrated by his loss at the Oscars, Zhang Yimou had placed his hopes on the Berlin Festival .
As expected, his film was on the list of nominees . However, he had failed to invite Qin Guan to the festival . This was because another film that featured Qin Guan as the main actor had also been shortlisted .
As a result, he had to walk on the red carpet alone . He had also seen the name of another Chinese director on the list, one that he was not familiar with .
Qin Guan didn't recognize the name either . The guy, whose name was Li Yang, was smiling at him . His hair reached his shoulders as he hugged Qin Guan around the neck .
"Qin Guan, I hear that you are the most popular Chinese indie actor overseas . Would you be interested in cooperating with me?"
Li Yang was an easy-going man . No one, inside or outside China, had heard his name before though .
"Are you the director of ‘Blind Shaft’?"
"Exactly! You must have recognized me at first sight . "
He was actually a very handsome man . Qin Guan nodded .
Li Yang laughed shamelessly . "Good! Even Qin Guan thinks I’m handsome . I must show off on your blog about this!"
"Blog?"
"Yes! The forum on your official blog . I have been studying in Europe lately, so I noticed you when you won the Best Actor Award in Cannes . "
"You have made your own way in the field of artistic independent films through hard personal effort . "
"People in the circle think that all geese are swans . They don’t like to be exposed to the media, but you are famous here . . . "
Li Yang pointed at the crowd . Qin Guan looked in that direction . Everyone, regardless of whether he knew them or not, were waving at him .
"Hi, Qin Guan . I watched your film . It was excellent!"
"Indie films for the win!"
I’m so popular in Berlin? My dream has finally been realized!
Before he could tear up, Li Yang interrupted him .
"Shall we go out for dinner? My treat!"
"Sure!" Qin Guan answered happily, looking at Li Yang in confusion . "Do you know your way around here, director?"
"Ha! Are you looking down on me? I came to Germany in the late 1980s to study . First, I studied in Berlin, and then I attended the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich . My major was Drama . Several years ago, I got my Master’s Degree on directing in Cologne . "
"Do I know my way around here? Just follow me!"
He actually knew everything about the European film culture . That explained why Qin Guan hadn’t recognized his name . The film "Blind Shaft" was surprisingly his first film .
