Chapter 181 Simba and Nana at the Berlin Film Festival
While David Olsen was busy helping Roland perform his duties as a guardian and business agent, Roland, who had resurrected his life, was wandering 'boringly' at the Berlin Film Festival.
...
"Hi! Director AngLee, we meet again, congratulations! You made another excellent movie."
"Oh?!! Hello Roland! I didn't expect to see you in Berlin, it really surprised me!"
AngLee's eyes widened, and he looked at the handsome guy who was already taller than himself in surprise. He changed into joy in two seconds, opened his arms very naturally, and hugged him, "Thank you, thank you, it's really great." grateful…"
"I was also surprised to be able to film "Sense and Sensibility". The previous "Red Fan District" matter really troubled you..."
"Oh, by the way, are you here...?"
"Oh, I came here with Kate, didn't she and Emma walk the red carpet alone? And I didn't leave, so I came in first."
"Kate? Oh!~~~" AngLee smiled knowingly, "Then I won't take up your time. If you need me in the future, feel free to call me. Don't worry, my number is not will shut down."
"well."
...
"Hello, Sean, Hello, Tim."
"Wow??? Roland, why did you come to Berlin?"
Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, who felt their shoulders sinking, were taken aback. Looking at the spirited guy who suddenly appeared from between them, their faces were full of surprise, "I remember the Berlin Film Festival You are not on the guest invitation list!"
"Oh, I just came here with Kate for a stroll. When I saw you, I just said hello." Roland replied with a smile.
"Kate? Which Kate?" The two looked curious, but before Roland could answer, the project with the largest investment in that circle got into their minds, so the two smiled understandingly, "Oh... It turned out to be like this..."
"Then it's really a surprise to see you here..."
...
"Wow! Roland! I didn't expect it was really you! I thought I was wrong!"
"Come, come, give my sister a hug."
Just as Roland was wandering boredly with his hands in his pockets, a loud cry caught his attention.
Turning his head to look, hey, isn't that - the actress next to Robert Downey Jr., Jodie Foster?
Facing the open arms, Roland did not refuse. After a brief embrace with the other party, Jodie Foster introduced Robert Downey Jr., who was with him, to Roland.
After a brief greeting, she smiled and said, "Did you come with Kate?"
"Of course." Roland had already wandered around with a big mouth, and it was not difficult for the other party to know.
"Tsk tsk tsk...Kate is beautiful..."
Jodie Foster gave Roland a thumbs up, almost directly saying that his vision was great.
However, when faced with her compliment, Roland was embarrassed.
Because he knew that Jodie Foster was a lesbian.
In 1993, she was already in love with her photographer Alexandra Hardison, and it was not until she won the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award that she officially made it public in front of the public and announced her marriage .
Although this is a big secret to outsiders, but to people inside...
She compliments women on being pretty, which is really…
...
However, at the same time that Roland was avoiding embarrassingly, his female companion had already arrived.
When that beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, Roland, who had been paying attention to the end of the red carpet, gave up socializing directly.
Looking towards the door, Kate wearing a red evening dress really looks like a passionate rose, and Emma Thompson next to her is wearing a plain white suit, which makes her stand out even more.
Following their arrival, the sharp-eyed guests also stepped forward to say hello.
It was alright at first, they were all old acquaintances in the circle, but after chatting, the second daughter felt that something was wrong.
Kate Winslet is just a newcomer. Although Emma Thompson is well-known in the European film industry, how about it, it is impossible for most people at the film festival to come and say hello, right?
and…
Many of them are big names in Hollywood!
After looking at the increasingly strange face from a distance, Roland, holding back a smile, went up to make a rescue.
Seeing his appearance, the guests who had greeted Roland in advance left knowingly, while Kate stared like a copper bell, and when Roland dismissed the guys who came up and pulled her aside, she was three With sharp fingers, like a chicken pecking rice, it twisted **** Roland's arm.
"Hiss... what are you doing?" Roland struggled in pain and broke free.
"What else do I want to ask you?" Kate didn't feel that what she did was suspected of being a shrew at all. If it wasn't for the opening ceremony auditorium, she would be yelling now, "You know you can't be with me Participate in activities!"
"Since this is the case, are you still here?"
Promised Kate to accompany her through all the activities, so Roland would naturally not break his promise. After the two wandered around Mexico, they directly boarded the private jet that Fox got from where they didn't know, and went straight to England.
With the endorsement of Murdoch, the tabloid king, even if Roland and Kate were walking on the street, no blind gossip media would follow them. In addition, the UK was hit by a blizzard, so they did not stop, but turned to Germany. So Kate never worried about the media.
When they arrived in Germany on February 3, the two first went to climb the Alps, then visited Neuschwanstein Castle, the prototype of Disney Castle, and then went to the Dresden Gallery that Kate was interested in. : Adam and Eve was commented on the painting before returning to Berlin to participate in the film festival after going around in a circle.
According to the agreement between the two of them, Kate will attend the opening ceremony of the film festival alone, and Roland can do whatever he wants. He only needs to wait for her to finish the opening ceremony, and they can leave Germany the next day. It doesn't matter, just go back to Los Angeles for the Oscars on March 25th.
What about Roland?
The promise was good, but after Kate finished the decoration and left the hotel, he quickly fiddled with it, and then went to the venue, entering the venue directly from the work area—seriously, going to this kind of place requires What ticket?
For Roland, it only takes a phone call to enter this kind of place.
What is an international superstar? (Tactical back
As for why he came?
"It's really cold today, it's twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit (minus four degrees Celsius), I'm here to send you clothes..."
While speaking, the right hand on the back also waved in the direction of the assistant, and the other party who got the signal immediately sent the coat up.
Really, the talk that Berlin wasn't cold when the Berlinale was held is bullshit.
At the media conference of "Fireworks in the Day", Ni Jingyang was wearing a light blue sweater, and there were even more guys wearing cotton fleece and scarves. Even actresses walked the red carpet in evening gowns. all fake.
But this is the unspoken rule. Isn’t the red carpet the time when actresses are open? Wrapped tightly, for whom to see?
Those who are not famous want to fight for the position, and those who are not resigned to fame do not want to be the object of being crushed.
And Roland didn't want to break the cruel rules in this food chain, but...
After the red carpet is over, it’s not too much to wear, right?
After all, this stay is several hours.
"What? You came here just to give me a coat?"
Kate thinks there is something wrong with Roland's brain circuit!
"This was photographed by the media, just digging deeper, won't it disrupt the announcement plan of "Spider-Man"?" Kate frowned, and after half a month of friendship, she felt for the first time that Ben was still doing things prudently. Roland is so whimsical!
"Oh? Are you caring about me?" Roland, who was holding a coat, looked at him with a smile.
But it was that indifferent smile that offended Kate.
"Now is not the time to laugh! Get the **** out of here! Get out of here before they take pictures of us!"
If sight could kill, Roland would probably have fallen to the ground by now.
Seeing the appearance of the calf-protecting child, Roland stopped teasing her. He turned his head and looked around, and found the few media people hiding in the corner looking at him, and raised his hand to say hello. At that time, Roland continued: "This year's Berlin Film Festival's red carpet live broadcast was won by News Corporation, and the parent companies behind the visiting media from all over the world are either Time Warner, Disney or Vivendi, News Corporation, Bertelsmann, Comcast..."
"As long as I don't appear with you in the red carpet live broadcast, it doesn't matter how I hang around in front of them."
"Look at me waving at them, did they shoot us?"
"I came nearly half an hour earlier than you, and they have already found me, but since I approached you, has the media photographed us? No... because these guys have known it for a long time, even if they photograph me, they can't get it Money, let alone published in newspapers.”
Watching Roland skillfully greet the surrounding media reporters, and all the responses he got were smiling nods, Kate's angry face gradually softened.
She has already inquired about the "Shawshank Redemption", and she also understands how terrifying the so-called media groups that control the American TV network are.
Many European news media are controlled by them, so that Vivendi can only take root in France and swallow the news media of small countries such as Italy, Spain, and Poland, because the market of big countries has already been divided up by these giants in private .
And Roland is closely related to these companies, and there is a Jewish gang behind the bad news insulator. Before tearing up the beep, no one will report the boring news about him, even if the lace news is really good. valuable.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Kate is not the kind of unreasonable person. The reason why she rushed to Roland was because she cared about it, and she was afraid of spoiling Roland's affairs.
And after figuring out the situation, she was not hypocritical. Roland stretched out her coat, and she put it on with open arms, and then turned around naturally, allowing Roland to button herself. In such a situation, the surrounding media workers were even more It's a straight jump.
What a material!
Hollywood superstar Roland Allen dressed British newcomer Kate Winslet backstage at the Berlin Film Festival! —
As soon as this headline came out, the sales of the newspaper would definitely explode!
It's a pity that the top doesn't want it!
"I think you'll think my presence is perfectly normal."
"Normal? Do you think it's normal for you to come here?"
"Of course, I told you the morning after we met. Compared with life, other things are really unimportant..." After buttoning Kate, Roland even took the shirt off the other's collar. Xiufa flipped out, "I don't earn money for the sake of earning money, but earn money for a better life. If my personal life is in chaos because of earning money, then I will find a way to pass Continue to make money to solve these problems."
"I won't stop the guy I like from going to work normally, but I will find a way to solve the various problems she encounters during normal work. Actresses generally wear evening dresses and walk on the red carpet. I can't smash people's jobs, but I can keep her from freezing in vain for the next four or five hours. If I make a fuss about these little things, then I will think, what have I been doing these past few years? The accumulation of wealth and relationships cannot make me and my The guy I like has a better life, so what else should I study?"
Pushing the hair on Kate's face behind her ears, Roland could clearly see that the guy who was still pretending to be angry pursed his lips in joy. Although he was looking down at the clothes, the little eyes he glanced up betrayed her. real thoughts.
When she found that Roland was staring at her, Kate snorted softly, turned around actively, took Roland's arm, and pulled him towards the main venue, "When you send clothes, you will send them. Why do you want to say hello to others? mention me?"
"Do you know what you act like?"
"Like a male lion who has just acquired a new territory!"
"Show off there!"
Hearing this analogy, Roland, who understood that the other party had recovered, chuckled, and said, "Then if I am the male lion who encloses the land as king, aren't you the female lion who just came back from hunting and wants to claim credit?"
"By the way, I have dubbed "The Lion King". When Simba was discouraged, it was her girlfriend Nana who persuaded him to go back to fight Scar. Just now you are very similar to Nana, and you will be in the future I'll call you Nana..."
Kate rolled her eyes, "What about you?"
"Of course I'm Simba!" Roland answered as it should.
"Heh..." She squeezed Roland's arm quietly again.
"Hiss..." Roland gasped in pain - after so much sizzling, he could draw silk out of thin air!
Hearing the sound, Kate turned her head and glanced at Roland. After noticing that Roland kept curling his lips, the raised eyebrows proved everything.
Although she was indignant at Roland's reckless behavior before, to be honest, she was actually very happy after seeing the coat—she is not a fool, who wants to freeze for half a day in a venue where the temperature is below zero?
Isn’t there no way?
As for what Roland said just now?
Oh my god! No matter how much of a show there is! But at least it's in your ears and warm in your heart!
Even if it is an ordinary and trivial matter, with the superposition of various auras, it can become extremely romantic.
Is it true that you don’t feel cold just because you wear a coat?
What a joke, it's the guy she's holding that keeps her cool!
In the aisle of the entrance, there were quite a few people gathered around to say hello. Faced with their inquiries and compliments, Kate never put a smile on her face. When Roland asked her if she would sit in the back with her, Kate There was no objection, and after saying hello to the crew, in the eyes of the six overseas staff, he sat down in the back row with Roland.
Although the view is not good, but—isn’t the opening ceremony of the film festival just a formality?
To them, opening speeches, introductions, speeches, opening film screenings, none of that stuff...
The so-called film festival that brings traffic to independent films is not as big as Roland's own traffic.
And Roland...
Isn't it right beside her...
Kate has been leaning on the back of the chair and looking at him since she sat down. She didn't know how long it took, but she seemed to think of something, and with her hands in her pockets, she suddenly said, "Roland?"
Shouted, Roland ignored her, and she continued: "Roland?"
The second sound, still ignored, she laughed immediately, elbowed Roland, and said at the same time: "Simba?"
"Huh?" Roland turned his head with a smile, "What's the matter? Nana?"
Hearing these words, the smile on Kate's face became even wider, "Hmm."
"What's the matter?" Roland asked.
"Where are we going next?" Kate smiled back.
"The Berlin Film Festival has just begun." Roland shook his head helplessly.
"What does that have to do with us?" Kate pouted.
"Of course it doesn't matter, you can go wherever you want." Roland was very single, and instantly separated himself from the film festival.
Kate was very satisfied with Roland's answer, "How about we go to Santorini in Greece?"
Greece?
Santorini?
oh…
Roland did not hesitate, and nodded with a smile, "Okay."
Note: ① When Jodie Foster first debuted, some people said that she was a lesbian, but she did not admit it or deny it, but even so, in the 1980s, she was still excluded until she took two She was only sought after after she became an actress. It was written that her housing prices skyrocketed, and a lot of it was actually caused by discrimination. After she won the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award, she also married publicly. ②The Berlin Film Festival was really cold. The one I remember most clearly is the one when Aunt Mei was the chairman of the jury. She wore a skirt and the judges around her were all wrapped in scarves. The actress was really desperate.
