Chapter 235: I Really Don't Have an Idea
In the morning, Chu Shun watched three movies, and the most impressive one was "Dazzling Blind".
At lunchtime, which was also considered a gathering of the crew, Fran was treated, inviting Louise, Paulina, Bell and others, and a friend of Franc in Berlin, who was not an actor but a composer.
"Director Chu Shun, let me introduce you, this is my friend Randy for many years. Fran introduced.
Randy's expression was no different from the expression of seeing an idol, he said: "I like Director Chu Shun's composition very much, I specially asked someone to buy the original soundtrack of the movie in Huaxia, "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Theme of Love" are masterpieces!"
"The Theme of Love" is the soundtrack at the end of Cinema Paradiso, long and charming, just like an old movie.
"I've watched Cinema Paradiso three times, and the classical soundtrack in it, I don't think there are many films that have been able to surpass it so far. Randy said: "Director Chu Shun can brand his name in the music world just by relying on the original sound of Paradise Cinema." ”
Randy himself is also a well-known musician, but he watched "Paradise Cinema" and became a dead fan of Chu Shun.
"The untouchable piano soundtrack is also very exciting, and director Chu Shun is really a person who integrates sound and painting. "Randy came up with three consecutive praises.
In fact, Randy didn't say anything, Chu Shun is recognized as a master in the soundtrack circle, but unfortunately, he has never scored other movies except for his own movies, which is also a very painful thing.
Served up, it's a French restaurant, German food words...... Let's talk about French food, this restaurant is also one of the best in Berlin, with three Michelin stars.
"I saw a very good movie that could be our untouchable enemy. Frando.
"Is it the Yalta Conference?" asked Louise.
"I'm just going to talk about this one, "The Yalta Conference" directed by German director Immanuel Kant. Furlong nodded.
The Yalta Conference was made at the Yalta Palace, a summit meeting of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, and a German director filmed the film...... The threat is indeed great.
Little Lori Emily didn't watch any movies in the morning, she only cared about signing autographs for fans, and she had no desire to appreciate the films participating in the film festival.
"The Golden Bear is rarely won by a German director. Paulina said.
Bell said: "Director Chu Shun has won the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion Award, and I think the jury voted "Untouchable". ”
Finally, Paulina concluded: "If you notice who the director of the Yalta Conference is, you will not think so. ”
Aunt Xiang showed a smile in her chest.
Of course, the actors in the crew hope to win awards that are untouchable, so that they will also rise with the tide.
With "Untouchable" setting a record number of moviegoers in France, and being a global hit? Fran is the actor who gets the most benefits.
He is now called "the gentleman of France" and "the man who best represents a gentleman" by the French press......
From the original outrage? has become the current hit, and Fran has also received a lot of scripts from Hollywood.
Needless to say, Bell? He originally had a good popularity in Hollywood? After the release of "Untouchable", it is even more powerful, and it may also win the César Award for Best Actor.
And if you really get it? Then Bell would be the first black actor to win the César Award for Best Actor.
The meal was very good, and the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew also passed the Lantern Festival because of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It will take two days to come? Chu Shun was not reluctant, anyway, as long as the award ceremony came.
The Berlin Film Festival was screened for ten days, and Chu Shun didn't go out to the movie palace every day, twice in total? Also include the opening ceremony.
During this period? Chu Shun received an email from Mapihuni, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that it was the mayor of Cefalù.
What was the last time the collaboration was pleasant, and then the Cinema Paradiso Memorial is also very popular with tourists? Anyway, it's a piece of nonsense, and the most important thing is the content behind? Mapihuni said that if you need to buy land, you can choose Cefalù.
Not surprising why Mapicuni knew this? Because Chu Shun has already begun to investigate and inquire, as long as there is no secret from the beginning.
Chu Shun's first reaction was that Chefalù was so big? One hundred acres is equivalent to 400,000 square meters? Do you know that Macau's land area is only 32 million square meters? In other words, Chu Shun is equivalent to buying one-eighttieth of the land in Macau.
"I can go and see it when I have time. "Chu Shun thought about it and decided? Because Mayor Mare is a smart man, it's far better to work with a smart guy than with a fool.
The closing of the film festival on March 8 is also the time of the award ceremony, and Chu Shun has also participated in the three major European film festivals, and he can say very responsibly that the Berlin Film Festival is the biggest scene.
When Chu Shun walked the red carpet, he answered a question from a Chinese reporter and came to the ceremony.
Kant is forty-seven years old, and he is more than five years old because of his gray hair and wrinkles on his face.
Although he is nearly fifty years old, he has been shooting short films before, and "Yalta Conference" is his first feature film, and he has been relying on his wife to support him in the previous days.
The first work was able to become a favorite at the Berlin Film Festival, and it is indeed talented.
"Chu Shun's 'Untouchable' is the most wonderful French film I've ever seen. Immanuel Kant said, "It feels like telling a fairy tale." ”
"The shooting of "Yalta Conference" was also very good, and the content of the meeting and the meeting itself were not filmed at all, and the feeling of the world process was filmed. Chu Shun also looked at it.
"Thank you, thank you. Kant hurriedly thanked.
Chu Shun can feel that Kant feels cramped as a whole, and it is obvious that as a newcomer, he came directly to the highest film in Europe, and he was very nervous.
"You're standing here because of your work, and that's good, you don't have to feel anything else. Chu Shun patted Kant on the shoulder.
Although Kant was far older than Chu Shun, the latter did not have any sense of disobedience when he comforted the former.
"Thank you, Director Chu Shun. Kant thanked him, but he was not very good at talking, and he didn't know what to say after greeting, so he took his leave and left.
was comforted by two sentences, but restraint is not something that can be comforted by outsiders, Kant still folded his shoulders and sat back in his position, without looking around, his elbows supported his knees, his eyes stayed on the ground, and the actors in the same crew next to him were more comfortable.
About 30 minutes later, all the guests and reporters arrived, and Chu Shun was greeted by some actors and directors one after another.
"Director Chu Shun should be the most popular director at this ceremony. Louise couldn't help but say, like the famous French director William, she auditioned for William's new film before because of acting problems, and director William is also famous in France for not being sociable, but just now he took the initiative to come over to say hello and exchange contact information.
"He is also the most creative and popular director on the spot. Paulina said: "So even if the director is young, the age in the entertainment industry sometimes only occupies a small part." ”
"Creativity is truly unparalleled, filming the beautiful legends of Sicily and the cinema Paradiso in Italy and the untouchable in France. Fran has been filming for more than ten years, and it is the first time he is so convinced by the director, and he is still wondering if France has a chance to get the second part.
Amelie doesn't know much about twists and turns, she only knows that the big stars she knows have a lot of respect for Chu Shun.
The host came to announce the start of the awards ceremony, and this procedure is no different from other film festivals.
Start the awards of other units first, of course, some unit awards are not awarded at the award ceremony, Chu Shun from the experience of participating, in addition to the main competition unit, only the new generation unit awarded to young directors has commercial value.
In addition to the unit awards, there are also teddy bear awards, compass perspective, independent jury awards, etc., which are not included in the unit.
Chu Shun was most impressed by the "Meteor Award", which was mainly awarded to talented young European directors.
"I always feel that this award is a bit of a curse. Chu Shun muttered to himself.
After an hour, the awards ceremony progressed to the main competition unit, the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, the Jury Award, the Best Director Award, the Best Leading Role Award, the Best Screenplay Award, the Best Supporting Actor Award, and the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award.
The most amazing thing about the Berlin Film Festival is that since 2021, there is no difference between Best Actor and Best Actress, only Best Actor remains, which can be said to be a very innovative reform of the festival.
Fran was nominated for Best Lead Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, but it was actually quite interesting that the Best Actor nominated for the French César Award for "Untouchable" was Bell, and the film festival was nominated for Furlong.
As a director, Fran's performance is indeed better than that of Bale, and there are no nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.
As expected, Chu Shun is an adaptation of "Second Breath" anyway, and there is no difference between the best original screenplay and the best adaptation at the Berlin Film Festival, as for the supporting roles, except for the two protagonists Philip and Dries, there are few other roles.
Of course, winning acting awards has nothing to do with the role, Anthony Hopkins only appeared after playing a third of the time in "The Silence of the Lambs", but still won the Oscar.
But it is clear that there is no explosive character like Hannibal.
"The winner of Best Director at the 76th Berlin Film Festival was director Bergman. The award presenters announced the winners in a tone of tone and frustration.
"Once Upon a Time" uses completely personal lenses and various metaphors about thinking and the subconscious to dig deep into the opposition between the thinking and the subconscious, as well as the way of reconciliation, and it is the exploration and expression of the subconscious and the thinking that is the meaning of the existence of the conscious film. The award presenter read the comment.
To tell the truth, Chu Shun listened to this comment and felt that he had never seen death, which was amazing to the judges.
Of course, stream-of-consciousness movies are not just, for example, Fellini's films can become masters, not just by commercial blowing.
"Once Dead" is the opening film but not the opening movie, it will win the biggest award, in fact, often the opening film does not have a chance to win the award, it is simply the best poisoned milk, and only "Cinema Paradiso" can withstand it.
"Director, we have a good chance of winning this time!", "The Golden Bear Award is definitely for the director, although the Yalta meeting was filmed well, it is better to be untouchable", "Director Chu Shun is so calm now", "It is unlikely that the Berlin Film Festival jury will award the grand prize to the first feature film directed by a newcomer", and so on, and the crew members were very excited.
There are only three awards left in the main competition unit, and the outstanding artistic contribution has nothing to do with Chu Shun, and only the Grand Jury Prize and the Golden Bear Award remain.
Chu Shun was actually not as calm as he imagined, and he was a little nervous in his heart, after all, he wanted to complete the grand slam of the three major European film films and become the fourth in history.
The expressionless face is just to keep the style, because he knows that there must be a camera aimed at him at this moment, and there is no way to be too handsome to have idol baggage.
"Let me take a look. "The guest of honor is a German star in his eighties, but he has several teeth, his speech is leaky, and the most important thing is that he can't read clearly with glasses.
He recognized it for a long time before he saw it clearly, and announced: "The winner of the Jury Prize at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival is director Chu Shun, whose work "Untouchable" was awarded. ”
"Even if there are differences in skin color, class, wealth and poverty, and hobbies between friends, as long as you give sincerely, everything is within reach. After the old man finished reading, the audience burst into applause, but most people were surprised, because it meant that there was someone else in the Golden Bear Award.
There are very few cases where Best Director and the Golden Bear can be awarded to a work, but the Golden Bear and the Grand Jury Prize are absolutely unlikely.
What do you mean by giving first and second place to one person? Not just at the Berlinale but at all film festivals.
Chu Shun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, it was good that he was milked to death by the crew's friends, but he came to the stage to accept the award with a calm face.
"It's a pleasure to win the Grand Jury Prize, and thanks to the entire cast and crew for their hard work, this is the case. Chu Shun said a bunch of words of thanks according to the custom, and this skill was very familiar.
"Is this going to explode a dark horse?" William, the famous French director who greeted Chu Shun just now, won the best supporting actor in his movie, and it was not in vain.
"This Berlin Film Festival is interesting, I thought that "Untouchable" had no suspense. Bergman, who had just stepped down not long ago, muttered in his heart.
After stepping down, although Fran and others had some regrets, it was also very good to win the second prize at the film festival, and they congratulated Chu Shun one after another.
The jury of the Berlin Film Festival was really daring, and really awarded the Golden Bear Award to Kant.
"Kant, this ......" Chu Shun was a little worried about this older rookie director.
"Untouchable" that beat him at the Golden Bear Awards to win the grand prize was indeed Wuhu taking off, but there were absolutely exaggerated doubts about it.
"It's going to explode tomorrow. Chu Shun thought to himself.
As for not winning the Golden Bear Award, he is definitely unhappy, but he doesn't think he will definitely win, there are many geniuses in this world, and he will come back next time when he draws "Sex Book Tycoon" and "The Wedding Banquet".
In fact, Chu Shun still thought badly, and he couldn't wait for tomorrow, when the Berlin Film Festival was announced, this matter caused repercussions around the world within an hour......
