Chapter 35 Awards (2)
When he walked back with the trophy in his hand, before he sat down, the trophy in his hand was snatched by Niu Le. The thing looked at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a cup, if only it were a little bear!"
"Little Bear will have it, but I don't know what kind of color it is?" Li Huatong interjected with a smile next to him.
Yes, the most important awards have not yet been awarded, and everyone's eyes have become hot unconsciously.
"Brother Xin, I didn't have time to congratulate you just now, congratulations on winning the award!"
Li Bing took the initiative to stretch out his hand, this child's expression is very subtle, everyone is the male protagonist, now one has won the award, the other has not won the award, and the heart must be very unpleasant, there is jealousy, but more envy.
"Thank you!" He Xin shook hands with him sincerely.
Li Bing won this award with Xiaogui's actor in the original time and space, but now He Xin's performance has made him bleak, and he finally missed the award.
Just when everyone was happy to congratulate He Xin for winning the award, it was announced on the stage: "The winner of the Best New Actress Award is: Angelica Lee!"
"Wow!"
I saw Sister Jiao standing up and applauding excitedly, and then He Xin saw Li Xinjie not far away covering her mouth and standing up in disbelief, only then did she know that Angelica Lee in the mouth of the ghost guy on the stage just now turned out to be the ghost sister!
The Best Newcomer Award at this year's film festival was actually won by two Chinese actors, and the audience at the scene was also a little noisy.
The ghost girl was very excited, and while wiping her tears, she gave an acceptance speech in fluent English, which made He Xin, who was sitting below, very embarrassed. Thinking about going abroad this time, it is really difficult to move an inch without knowing a foreign language.
As the award ceremony progressed, important awards began to be awarded one after another, starting with the Silver Bear of the Jury, which was won by the Italian film "Italian Language Class".
Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly became nervous, he didn't dare to hope for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, because in the competition unit score announced by "Screen", "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" scored 2.8 points, ranking fourth, and there were also French, German-British co-productions of "Intimacy", the American movie "Chocolate" and the popular "Drug Network".
Of these three films, the former has a home field advantage and is highly evaluated by the outside world, and the latter two were nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Picture at the same time.
"It's okay, it's okay, there are Golden Bears, Jury Awards, and Best Director Awards, relax!" Li Huatong, who was sitting next to him, comforted in a low voice.
He Xin won the best newcomer, the actor is definitely hopeless, the actress doesn't have to think about it at all, the rest is that these three awards can be competed for. However, although Li Huatong said so, he was actually not sure in his heart, after all, the competitors were too strong.
Then came the award for Best Actress.
The heroine of "Intimacy", French actress Cary Fox won the undisputed queen laurel.
"Who is the actor?"
Let's speculate.
"I think it's Michael Douglas. I watched the movie "Drug Network", and his performance in it was very exciting, after all, he was an Oscar winner!"
He Xin scoffed at his words, although Mike Sr. played well, but in "Drug Network", Benicio del Toro, the actor of the Mexican sheriff, definitely performed much better than him.
"I think Mark Lyons in "Intimacy" is also good, maybe "Intimate" can win the best actor and actress. Li Huatong and Niu Le have different opinions.
But no matter what they predicted, the answer was soon revealed:
"Best Actor at the 51st Berlin International Film Festival, "Drug Network" Benicio del Toro!"
Toro stood up and hugged Mike Sr., Mike Sr.'s daughter-in-law, and Soderbergh respectively, and walked quickly onto the stage.
He Xin looked relaxed, and joked with Niu Le: "Hey, I guess it's him, this guy is much better than Old Mike." ”
Niu Le glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Why didn't you say it just now?"
He Xin turned his head and glanced in the direction where the crew of "Drug Network" was sitting, old Mike was looking down to listen to what his daughter-in-law was saying, probably his daughter-in-law was comforting the old man, right?
Hey, why is there an older old man next to the old man, and he looks exactly like old Mike, it can't be old Mike's father, right?
"Hey, who's that old man next to Old Mike?" he asked, pushing Niu Le.
Niu Le didn't look back at all, and said proudly: "Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas's father, the winner of the Academy Lifetime Achievement Award, is also the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this film festival. ”
"The Lifetime Achievement Award hasn't been awarded yet?"
"If you don't believe it, just look at it!"
While speaking, the newly released Berlin actor Toro Ge delivered his acceptance speech.
"It's supposed to be the Best Director Award, right?"
Wang Xiaoshuai became nervous again.
However, he was soon disappointed again, and the winner of the Best Director Award was actually the director of "Love You Love Me", fathead Yulin Zhengsheng.
I have to say that this year's jury is still very discerning, Lin Zhengsheng made a cheesy youth romance film into a black humor film, and there is no lack of warmth and cruelty, the creativity and shooting techniques are very novel, and black satire has always been very in line with Berlin's taste.
In the end, there are two awards left in addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Grand Jury Prize and the Golden Bear for Best Film. The Golden Bear is, of course, the first, the best. The Grand Jury Prize is the second prize.
The atmosphere in the whole theater has become tense, because several previously well-received American films have not been received so far, including "Intimacy", which ranked second in the house magazine rating, and has only won one actress award.
"There's no hope!" Wang Xiaoshuai sighed secretly.
But looking back, this is the first time he has participated in the selection of the three major European festivals, and it is a comfort to get the best newcomer award, which is better than empty-handed.
"The winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year's film festival was ......"
The awarding buddy bought a pass, glanced around the audience, and then announced with a smile: "Beijing Bicycle!"
This time, even He Xin understood, and there was a small commotion in the audience, but it soon calmed down, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is the fourth-ranked work in the field magazine after all, and it is not unpopular in conscience. It's just that this afternoon, Chinese films have won a bit more awards, not only including the special Best Newcomer Award for Actor and Actress, winning the Best Director Award, but also winning the Jury Award.
It seems that this year's jury is particularly partial to Chinese-language films, is it because of the relationship between a Chinese director on the jury? Many people turned their doubtful eyes to Xie Fei, who presented the Grand Jury Prize
Xie Fei felt these gazes and couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be honest, he really didn't play a role in this selection, and he alone couldn't play a role, it was completely voted by all the judges. Of course, there is also the chairman of the jury, Bill McNick, who favors these two Chinese-language films.
At this point, the remaining Golden Bear is bound to be between "Intimacy" and "Drug Network", as well as "Chocolate", and given that the chairman of the jury is one of Hollywood's top bigwigs, people are more willing to believe that the two American films have a better chance of winning.
The media reporters at the scene were very excited, if it was really American films that won awards, then they would have something to say, the Berlin Film Festival, which has always favored artistic and political films, has now begun to compromise with Hollywood, so is there a way out for European films?
Of course, this suspense will not be solved until the end. At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai, who was excited by the unexpected surprise, was on stage to receive the silver shining little silver bear presented to him by Director Xie Fei.
The little silver bear hugged the little silver bear viciously and kissed it several times in a row, barely calmed down his emotions, and delivered an acceptance speech in fluent English.
He Xin applauded at the bottom, and sighed to Niu Le in a low voice: "I didn't expect the director's English to be so good!"
"What a fart, it must have been memorized beforehand. ”
And this kind of sassy operation? He Xin was a little stunned, why didn't he think of it?
The Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement was finally awarded to Kirk Douglas for Niu Le Prediction. He Xin realized it later, thinking about it, the old man is almost ninety, and he came from the United States specially to come for the award?
In his acceptance speech, Douglas Sr. was quite excited, and said to the crowd of nearly 2,000 cheering: "I remember the last time I went to Berlin, I just stood on the corner of my crotch and ate sausages, and this time I drank a glass of wheat beer." I'm so happy to be back here. The feeling of Berlin is amazing! I've fallen in love with it. ”
After the old man walked off the stage, everyone began to hold their breath, waiting for the final verdict, whether it was the success of the Hollywood invasion, and the fact that they would stick to tradition and maintain the dignity of European films.
When the chairman of the jury, Bill McNick, personally announced that the winner of the Golden Bear for Best Film at this year's film festival was "Intimacy", the audience was boiling.
Sure enough, the two American films nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture were unexpectedly unexpected, and at the same time applauded and cheered Bill McNick's justice.
