Chapter 285: Acceptance Speech

"The director's side. Cady beckoned to the crew's seat.

The last time Chu Shun came to the Film Palace of the Berlin Film Festival, he said that this is the most spacious of the three major film festivals, and it is still necessary to greet him with a little more seats.

The Berlin Film Festival is not like the Cannes Film Festival, it is obviously the first of the three, but it is the most atmospheric, and the Palais du CinΓ©math is very small.

Chu Shun's position is in the first row, since "Paradise Cinema", no matter what award ceremony he attends, he sits in the first row, and it just so happens that the crew of "Yin Di" sits next to him, and Cauchy, who is the producer, sits next to him.

"In the past few days, "Beautiful Life" has a very good reputation in the screening. "In addition to the opening screening, I watched it three more times, and each time the audience gave me a standing ovation. ”

In other words, I watched the movie four times in ten days? Chu Shun said: "Even if it is a good movie, if it is not necessary, don't watch it many times in a short time. ”

"Why?" asked Leia, puzzled.

"Because that would diminish your love for the movie. Chu Shun said: "It's like delicious food, if you are tired of eating, you will have less favorite food." ”

Leia nodded to show that she understood that she didn't actually go to the movie at all, but to see the audience's reaction, and the audience would laugh and wipe their tears with the plot of the movie. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is generally an act that the director of the film does, and as an actor, Leia's sense of belonging to the film can be said to be very high.

"Director Chu Shun, after the award ceremony, is there an appointment?" Cauchy, who was seated next to him, walked over.

"Not yet. Chu Shun knew that there was a free dinner to eat tonight, and then again, the American director in front of him, with Al Pacino's face, always had a very strong sense of disobedience.

At present, Chu Shun found that Yuandi Star and the earth look like gods, there are Valentina, Yu Min, Yang Wei, and Cauchy, which can be regarded as quite a coincidence, among which Yang Wei looks like Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Cauchy looks like Al Pacino are all cross-professions.

"Life is Beautiful taught me another lesson, what a film teacher. Cauchy said: "Whenever I want to say that I have almost understood how to shoot with movies, I always find new problems that I don't understand." ”

Out of kindness, Chu Shun actually wanted to tell the filmmakers that there was nothing to study with the movie, but out of reason, I still felt that I should not say it, it was a pity that Chu Shun was kind and incompatible, and now he is happy to answer the questions of these famous directors who study "with the movie".

Dinner was scheduled, and Cauchy returned to his seat.

Douggen was also invited as a producer, but he sat in the second row, so he temporarily changed a seat, although this kind of large-scale awards ceremony was arranged, but the crew temporarily switched places, and the on-site staff still would not stop it.

"Is Mr. Chu Shun's next movie a big production?" asked Douggen, who no longer urged to shoot any hacker two, as long as it was a big production Disney would invest.

"I don't have any ideas for the next movie yet. Chu Shun said.

"If you have a big idea, be sure to consider us at Disney, we've always had a great time working together. Douggen added that the attitude could be said to be very low.

Just kidding, don't say it's Douggen, even if it's his uncle, now the CEO of Disney, he has to be kind when he sees Chu Shun, not for anything else, just because Chu Shun can make money, and he is very profitable, what about the big investment in "Titanic"? It is no exaggeration to say that Chu Shun will definitely be courteous to any of the six major Hollywood film companies.

Douggen also wanted to invite him to dinner in the evening, but Chu Shun made an appointment with Cauchy, and Cauchy couldn't open his mouth to play with Doggern, so he refused.

During the conversation, everyone arrived, and the award ceremony began.

Chu Shun suddenly found that the host seemed to be the same as the last time, when he used "Untouchable" to participate in the competition, he was a host.

"Doesn't the Berlin Film Festival change the host?" Chu Shun asked Cady next to him in a low voice.

Cardi fiddled with his mobile phone for a while, and told Chu Shun the news he had inquired about: "I just looked at it, the hosts of the Berlin Film Festival generally change once a year, and it is unlikely that they will use duplicate people, and there is no Edmond in the list of hosts announced this year, so maybe there is a temporary change in the originally selected host, and Edmond will make up for the omission." ”

"I heard that he was hospitalized, and Edmond was the host of ZDF in Germany, and he also hosted the film festival, so he was called over. Leia explained.

There is really no secret in the entertainment industry, ZDF is also known as German TV 2, which is the largest TV station in Germany, higher than one, and can also be said to be one of the most famous TV stations in Europe.

The awards ceremony began, and the lights were ready, so there was no further discussion.

The old rule is that other units present awards first, and Chu Shun maintains a state that seems to be very serious, but is actually distracted, chatting with the system in his heart.

An hour later, the other unit awards were awarded, and there was an intermission, which was a choir performance, and it is worth mentioning that the film "The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Elves" directed by Huaxia won the Crystal Bear Award for Best Film, and the Crystal Bear Award also has the best short film, which can be understood as a special reward for those films suitable for teenagers and children.

After the choir finished the performance, it finally entered the main competition unit for awards, the Golden Bear Award, the Grand Jury Award, the Silver Bear Award, the Best Director Award, the Jury Award, the Best Leading Role Award, the Best Supporting Actor Award, the Best Screenplay Award, and the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award.

As mentioned earlier, the reason why this is so is because the four awards of Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, and Best Female Protagonist have been merged into the current two.

The Jury Prize, the Best Supporting Actor Award, and the Best Screenplay were not won by "Life is Beautiful", among which it was nominated for Best Screenplay.

The best screenplay was awarded to the film "Hades", and the difference between the Jury Prize and the Jury Prize was only one word, but the gap was quite large, the latter "Untouchable" won the second prize at the film festival, which was higher than the best director.

The former is just a consolation prize, as if any special jury award and outstanding artistic contribution award have the flavor of consolation.

Many domestic movies like to deliberately blur to deceive the audience, anyway, whether it is the jury award or the jury award, the big one is the second prize, and the big one is the consolation prize.

"At the 77th Berlin International Film Festival, the winner of the best leading role is - Nathan Cady, portrayed Guido in "Life is Beautiful", with his own life, so that children are protected from war and the darkness of human nature, young children live happily every day in a purgatory-like environment on earth, Cady uses amazing performances to make this touching plot more convincing and moving. ”

On the screen, Guido, escorted by private at gunpoint, strides forward in a strange stride, while the opera "The Boatman" plays.

After the award presenter finished speaking, applause rang out at the scene, and Chu Shun also got up to applaud Kadi.

"Congratulations, your performance is indeed good, you deserve this award. Chu Shun commented.

Cardi looked at Chu Shun very excitedly, after so many years, he finally got out of the actor, and he was in a surging mood.

"Director......" Cadi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Shun.

"Come on stage to accept the award, what are you waiting for? Chu Shun said.

Surrounded by applause, Cardi stepped onto the awards stage of the Berlin Film Festival and almost stepped on the air as he walked up a few steps.

Cardi has worked hard to suppress his emotions and pursued the award for more than ten years, and now he has won it, which will not be able to calm down for a while.

After receiving the trophy from the award presenters, Cady began to say in his acceptance speech: "Thank you very much to Director Chu Shun, without Director Chu Shun's guidance, I would not have been able to play such a good acting role, thank you very much." ”

"At the same time, I would like to thank Ms. LΓ©a, I play against you every day, and then it was really troublesome. Kadi said.

The camera turned to Leia, who smiled and shook her head, signaling that there was nothing.

"I am also very grateful to my agent, Mr. Condon, who has helped me a lot over the years. ”

"Finally, thanksgiving. Cady kissed the Silver Bear Trophy, and then held it high, looking like the moon in his hand, the appearance of the world I have, oh the trophy in hand.

There are only three awards left, the Golden Bear Award, the Grand Jury Award, and the Best Director Award, and the order of awards starts with the lowest gold content.

The Silver Bear trophy for Best Director was won by Ross's "The New Swede".

Only Chu Shun and Kanta remained, both of them had calm faces, but in fact, their hearts were not calm at all.

"The film that won the Grand Jury Prize at the 77th Berlin International Film Festival is "Eight Mile" shows a tragic story with a cold and restrained lens, which contains reflections on government, media, friendship, school bullying and other aspects. ”

The award was Kanta, his face sank when he heard the award words, and then a smile appeared on his face, on the one hand, the jury award was very good, and on the other hand, "Life is Beautiful" really deserved to be awarded.

Kanta, who is old but has a very vigorous movement, walked on stage with ease and gave an acceptance speech, which can also be said to be a declaration of quitting the circle.

"Thank you for being able to get the last piece recognized by the judges, the world of cinema is changing more and more, we used to shoot films on film, I still use film, not in the same way, but in my own favorite way. ”

"When I was filming 'Eight Mile,' I was hospitalized for a month because of my physical illness, and then I knew my time was up, and I had done enough. ”

"Once when the TV came out, some people predicted that movies would become extinct in a short time, and in the era of developed networks, some people judged that the film market would dissipate, but now it is becoming more and more vigorous, and it is a great honor to be able to be a witness, and at the same time to see so many young talented directors, I am even happier, as long as human beings still have dreams, as long as reality cannot be satisfied, movies will not perish. ”

The applause was even more enthusiastic than before, and everyone said goodbye to the old filmmaker's exit.

After the farewell, everyone looked at the stage more attentively, and the next thing was the most important award.

Basically, there is no controversy, it is in the bag of "Beautiful Life", and everyone present is waiting, waiting for Chu Shun to collect the highest awards of the three major film festivals.

The guest of honour was the president of the German Film Association, who was also a well-known actor.

"At the 77th Berlin International Film Festival, the film that won the highest award, the Golden Bear Award, "Beautiful Life", congratulations to director Chu Shun. ”

For the second time on the big screen, a clip from the Lives for Life is Beautiful movie.

"World War II is the most influential, widespread, deadly and brutal battle in the world, "Beautiful Life" uses the purest perspective to narrate the cruelty of war, the perspective of children's games, a thousand-point tank, and the embodiment of audio-visual language, making this film a rare masterpiece of anti-war movies. The president of the German Film Institute read the evaluation of the jury.

Chu Shun stepped onto the stage amid applause, and after receiving the trophy, he sat below for a night, and it was finally his turn.

Below, whether it is the crew of "Hades" or the crew of "Eight Miles", the crew of "New Swede" are all looking at Chu Shun.

Journalists, directors, actors, and producers all look at each other.

All eyes were on Chu Shun.

"I, Chu Shun, am a director, so I wish world peace. Chu Shun said.

It is a very short sentence, even different from other acceptance speeches, and has been praised by later generations as the most powerful acceptance speech in the 21st century.

Amid roaring applause, the 77th Berlin International Film Festival ended.

Because of the great success of the movie, there must be a celebration banquet, Chu Shun had two meals tonight, one meal with Cauchy, and then one meal with the crew.

After eating two meals, it was already eleven o'clock at night when I returned to the hotel, and I didn't drink, but I ate too much and walked slowly.

"Take a shower first...... Chu Shun didn't get up from bed for the first time, so he gave up.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"It's still early, so I choose to smoke a movie, and then take a shower after I smoke. "Chu Shun is very anxious this time, according to the rules, as long as it is screened, he can be drawn.

The filming cycle of the movie "Beautiful Life" is too short, Chu Shun is not enjoyable at all, he wanted to draw a movie after filming before, but he did not meet the conditions for drawing a movie at that time, and now that the award has been received and the screening is over, it is naturally okay.

[Okay.] As soon as the system's voice fell, six movies immediately appeared, six options to be exact.

["Spy Shadow" series of film shooting funds, as well as tutorials]

["The Matrix 2: Reloaded" filming funds, and tutorials]

["The Invisible Guest" filming funds, and tutorials]

["The Silence of the Lambs" filming funding, and tutorials]

["Hacksaw Ridge" filming funds, and tutorials]

["Kikujiro's Summer" filming funds, and tutorials]

Chu Shun found two interesting places in this lottery, first of all, he really drew the second part of the Matrix, from the perspective of the hacker series, the second part is the lowest rated part of the series, on the contrary, Chu Shun likes the second part the most.

I like the reason, it's not that it can be different or anything, the reason is very simple, the worldview constructed in the first part, the worldview that the audience thinks, the second part directly overthrows all of them, and there is no deliberate reversal.

Having said that, Chu Shun can fully understand that the second part got a low score, compared with the simplicity and clarity of the first part, the second and third parts have become complicated, and the threshold for viewing the movie has risen a little.

When the audience still went to the cinema with the mood of watching the first part, it was too normal to get a big drop and give a low score.

"System, spy shadow series of movies, that is to say, there are spy shadow heavy one, two, three, four, five?" Chu Shun asked.

[There are three parts in the spy series, and the last two are not available.] The system answers.

"Uh-" Chu Shun found that the choice of the system is sometimes the most direct, the last two parts of the spy series can only be described as pulling the crotch, many fans will scold, Chu Shun is also one of them, but they are only scolding, the system is directly expelling him from the series, people don't talk much, they are talking about the system.

"Anyway, the first time I won the movie series, why didn't I draw it before. Chu Shun asked.

[The system has just undergone an internal update, and if it's a series of movies, it will be troublesome to draw one by one, so the internal upgrade has been updated to become a series of movies, and the whole series can be drawn.] The system answers.

"The word empathetic was made specifically for you. Chu Shun's praise is not a commercial compliment, but a real compliment.

The Silence of the Lambs created the most cost-effective Hollywood actor in history, and also created the only Hopkins who played the role of Oscar winner for a B-grade film, and created an actor in one-third of the film.

A good movie, of course, is a good movie, not only good, Chu Shun also knows that "The Silence of the Lambs" is similar to "Beautiful Life", the same is the same as the world's awards, and it can be said that the role of Dr. Hannibal is "canonized" all over the world.

"I don't seem to have filmed a suspense crime genre yet, etc - is "Deadly ID" considered a suspense crime? Chu Shun thought about it himself and felt that the fatal ID was only a suspense, not a crime movie.

"It's also good to win this one, and I'm the ceiling of the movie genre again. Chu Shun thought about it and felt good.

And "The Invisible Guest" is arguably the most out-of-the-circle film in Spain, and in itself, the script is wonderfully written. The country of Western Extraction has always been able to shoot very good films, such as "Skin", "The Life of David Gore", "My Skin" and so on, all of which are good movies. Chu Shun is not familiar with the country of West Tooth Extraction, but it seems that they are very fond of digging up some unknown habits hidden by human nature to shoot.

"Bloody Hacksaw Ridge, I also drew a war movie, seriously speaking of war movies, I still prefer the rallying number. Chu Shun said, it may be a problem of substitution.

However, it is undeniable that the bloody battle of Hacksaw Ridge is a rare war movie that discusses human nature and more than discussing war, if it is not an adaptation of a live-action story, Chu Shun said that he can use the pen in his hand to squirt out this story, this Nima is clearly a science fiction story.

"Kikujiro's summer, if I remember correctly, this movie seems to have won the Palme d'Or, and it is a very rare film by Takeshi Kitano that is not violent. Chu Shun doesn't like or hate this movie.

At the beginning of the lottery, Chu Shun silently thought in his heart: "System bless, I want Hacker 2, or the Silent Lambs." ”

Hacker II's more powerful worldview can shock the friends again!
