"Director, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge to choose such a young actor as Lan Li-Hall to play such a heavy and profound role, how did you choose Lan Li in the first place?"

"Welcome to Berlin, thank you for this work. I would like to ask you what you thought in the first place, as you had a successful commercial career before taking on the film 'Detachment', and it would have taken courage to choose such a work with a strong artistic style and a strong experimental nature?"

"I want to ask about Lan Li, and what impresses me the most are two, no, three scenes, one is a bus scene, one is a farewell scene to Erica, and one is a final recitation scene. How did you figure out the characters in these three scenes? The emotions and emotions in each scene are very strong and delicate, and the connection between the beginning and the end is clear and accurate, and I am very curious how you perform it. ”

"Tony, my question is: what inspired you to use a lot of close-ups and recreate the grain of the film in this work, and how did you capture the details of Lan Li's performance?"

"Lan Li, can you talk about your co-actors? Two young actors, first on the big screen, but their performances are really outstanding, can you tell us about your interaction during the performance?"

"Lan Li, I have a curiosity about why Henry's emotions are unwavering and even cold and detached at the beginning of his appearance and the end of the game. There is no imaginary sadness and pain, no imaginary loneliness and loneliness, how do you figure out this role?"

"Tony, I'd like to ask about the hint about Adolf Shei/T/Le, does that mean anything profound?"

"Lan Li, how did Henry deal with his relationship with his maternal grandfather and mother, how did Henry become a teacher in the absence of family guidance, and why? Can you share with us your thoughts and understandings during the performance?"

……

According to the convention of the film festival, after the screening, the next step is the audience to ask questions and exchanges, and the audience is extremely active, asking questions one after another, with little breathing room.

As a top priority, Lan Li took on two-thirds or even more of the questions, and the microphone was like a hot potato, sticking to his palm, and he kept trying to divert it, but never succeeded. Even if Lan Li threaded the needle to lead the question to Sammy, Betty, and even Carl, Marcia, Tony, and others, the problem would still come back to him after a circle.

Not only that, but every question is so professional and profound. The average quality of the questions, far exceeding that of Sundance and Telluride, really overwhelmed Lan Li - but, that's what the audience is for. They hope to share their opinions with the main creators, and they also hope to argue with the crew about certain views, which can be in favor or criticism.

The raison d'être of art lies in its ability to spark a wide variety of ideas. If, after watching a film, all the viewers have the same idea, no change, no variety, no layers, then at least on an artistic level, the work is a failure. As for popcorn, it's all about pleasure/feeling, not art, and that's a different story.

The 30-minute Q&A session was packed, and by the time the last question was asked, it had already run out of time, but Lan Li answered it in a friendly manner, followed by a Q&A session with reporters, who, unlike the audience, left their seats and surrounded the crew members with flowers, scrambling to ask questions.

The people with the least crowd around him are not the two rookie actors, but Carl Lund, who is the screenwriter - the crew members who are behind the scenes, and the attention is always a little lacking, but even Carl is surrounded by seven or eight reporters, and the questions are one after another, which is really overwhelming, not to mention the focus of attention.

Lan Li's side is surrounded by three layers inside and three outside, and the lively and turbulent scene is staggering, comparable to the popular booth of San Diego Comic-Con.

But even so, there is still an endless stream of reporters circling around the periphery, and even Tony, Marcia and others have fallen into the ground, "You can ask Lan Li these questions", "Why don't you ask Lan Li", "I think Lan Li is more suitable to answer"......

The boiling crowd was like the waves of the ocean, swept in wave after wave, tightly surrounded on all sides, and there was absolutely no escape, almost equivalent to a secret room—unless Lan Li could put on his wings. In the dense crowd, the air began to become thick and hot, and gradually, Lan Li's back actually began to sweat.

This is absolutely incredible.

In this life, from childhood to adulthood, one of the important etiquette of the aristocracy is to avoid sweating in public as much as possible, especially in summer, after sweating under the armpits, the shirt is soaked, which is a very rude action. Either change your clothes immediately, or wear a tight jacket to cover up.

What's more, they begin to control their sweating and really sweat as much as they want, which is completely contrary to the physical phenomenon, and for those who can't do it, some people choose to use surgery to block the sweat glands under the armpits.

Lan Li wasn't that crazy, but in a quiet state, he really didn't sweat easily. What's more, now that he is in Berlin in the cold winter of February, his back is actually starting to sweat.

Finally, the reporters gradually dispersed, but Lan Li didn't know how much time had passed and how many questions she had answered, but she felt that her throat was like a fire, dry and painful, which was really embarrassing.

A bottle of mineral water was handed over in front of him, and at the same time, a restrained and polite voice sounded, "I will be prepared next time." "Looking back, Lan Li saw Jack Gyllenhaal-

Jack stood far away, about two paces away, clearly dividing the spaced line, and then raised his right hand straight, holding the bottle of mineral water, because the distance was so far that he had to lean forward slightly, but his steps still refused to approach, as if there was a bottomless abyss gully between the two people, with a warm smile on his face, his eyes were calm and natural, but still slightly jerky and restrained, and his shoulders and dry lips revealed his caution.

It's really funny.

Lan Li didn't politely excuse himself, took the mineral water, raised his hand to salute, unscrewed the bottle cap, and then poured two small mouthfuls of water into his throat, and after his dry throat was moisturized, he finally came to life, and his slightly frowning eyebrows loosened slightly, and he looked at Jack, "The difference between novices and veterans, the details can still be seen." ”

This self-complaining made Jack laugh shyly, "With the first time, the second time is much better." Although, for many people, the first time was left out in the cold. ”

"Are you complaining about your first trip to the Berlinale before?" Lan Li asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Jack shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "I have never participated in the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. Immediately, he saw Lan Li's surprised eyes and shrugged his shoulders again, "I'm telling the truth. To be honest, I don't know why the main committee would choose an actor who has never participated in the main competition unit as a judge. ”

They also invited an Algerian writer. Lan Li's answer made Jack stunned, and then nodded seriously, "In this way, I am still very competent." ”

This is always the case with the three major European film festivals, and the jury composition of each year is incomprehensible, with writers, photographers, models, painters, and even actors who have never heard of it. As the name goes, art is universal. However, the chairperson of the jury is often more reliable, and they are the ones who are at the helm of the overall direction.

For example, at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, the president of the jury was Quentin Tarantino, who praised the documentary "Fahrenheit 911", and after intense discussion and deliberation, the Palme d'Or was awarded to "Fahrenheit 911". If it weren't for Quentin, this would have been almost impossible.

The president of the jury at this year's Berlinale is Mike Lee.

Jack sensed Lan Li's gaze, and added, "Back then, 'Brokeback Mountain' applied to Berlin and Cannes, but they were all rejected. So, I've been to Cannes, I've been to Venice, but Berlin? Lan Li suddenly realized and gently collected his chin.

After a pause, Jack continued, "Congratulations, the work just now is wonderful. Then you can see Jack's upper body leaning forward slightly again, always keeping a distance, but he can't suppress his excitement, "To be honest, your lines are really wonderful, do you have any skills? You know, hiding all emotions between the lines, you don't need to use too much force, and at the same time, there is not much embellishment, but that kind of power naturally fits the plot." How did you do that?"

This is only the first meeting between Lan Li and Jack, it is just the first time to say hello on the red carpet, and the two of them have not even introduced themselves formally. However, at this moment, Jack showed incredible fanaticism and persistence, and after Lan Li understood, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Jack, you are an excellent actor......" Lan Li's words didn't have time to continue, Jack interrupted directly, "But it's not outstanding, let alone great." Jack made no secret of his disappointment and complained sharply, "When I performed 'Brokeback Mountain' before, Lee always emphasized that he asked me to feel those emotions and feel those lines, I can't do it, I really can't do it." It's frustrating. By the way, I think that if you cooperate with Lee, it must be very exciting, and you will definitely be able to meet Lee's requirements. ”

In "Brokeback Mountain", Jack's performance is wonderful, even in the face of Heath Ledger. But Jack commented like this, which shows that he is strict with himself.

So, instead of being polite and modest, Lan Li said frankly, "Jack, have you tried to go to England to study orthodox academy acting? If you take a similar course, at the very beginning, reading lines aloud is a basic skill, and the point is that we are not reading a script, but a newspaper......"
