"Where are our seats, please? Okay, thank you, ma'am. ”

The location has been found under the guidance of the staff, and this year's venue design is different from the past, no longer a theater-style row of seats, but a banquet-like seat.

The seats of the two are at the round table in the third row, slightly to the right, and strangely, the other award-winning crews are not adjacent to the two Mickey, but on the far left of the third row, and the distance in the middle is divided by a group of famous hostels.

This ranking method is very special, but it is not special when it is put on Mickey, as for the reason, everyone understands, even the celebrities who have already sat down, they love to ignore Mickey when they see it, and it is estimated that Mickey, who has never been frustrated, is also inflated in front of these old-timers.

Now he can be regarded as paying for the former young and frivolous, and swallowed the bitter fruit he planted, if he came by himself, it would be okay to say, but let Lu Ze also suffer with him, he would be a little embarrassed in his heart.

After a few glances, Lu Ze received the signal transmitted by Mickey, waved his hand, obviously didn't take it to heart, and after sitting down, while the ceremony had not yet begun, he secretly fiddled with his mobile phone under the table, replying to the blessings of domestic friends to him.

After that, he took a photo of the venue and himself, and uploaded it to Weibo, now he has no team, and he still needs to do it himself to maintain fan viscosity, since Lu Ze's comeback, the number of Weibo he has posted is even more than the sum of previous years, although he has only posted less than 20 Weibo in the past six months......

Until he turned the contact information to the bottom, Lu Ze suddenly found that Chen Yongbin had actually sent a message to himself, wishing him a good result in Berlin, Lu Ze naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly replied to the message to express his gratitude, originally thought that the matter would be completely over, but he didn't expect the mobile phone to vibrate again, and when he opened it, it was a message from Mr. Chen.

"When will you return to China? Several cadres of the Electricity Association have retired this year, and I have recommended you, this time I just want to ask your opinion to see if you want to develop in this area, if you have this thought, we will talk about it when you return to China." ”

This message was sent, although Lu Ze did not lose his temper, but he was indeed frightened, the full name of the Electric Association is not the Electronic Information Anti-Fraud Association, it is the Huaxia Film Association!

An association founded by the state with a history of 70 years, is responsible for promoting the development of the film industry, setting up industry standard planning, setting up domestic awards, commending film industry practitioners, coordinating local film associations, and conducting artistic exchanges with other countries and regions.

Lu Ze never thought that one day he would have a chance to enter the Electricity Association, after all, the members of the association are all famous masters in the system, all of them are academic bosses, and they are very particular about who they are from in the system, that is to say, if you are not from a top college, you have never acted in a drama, and the master is not orthodox, people will not take you to play at all.

And what about Lu Ze? Although he was selected as a national second-class actor, officially joined the party, and also acted in the drama "Find You", his background is not good, he is a grassroots, and he takes a commercial route, just this one, people can directly refute Lu Ze.

Why is there a door now? He has an absolute relationship with Chen Yongbin, if it weren't for the fact that as the chairman of the Electricity Association, he pulled Lu Ze along, Lu Ze wouldn't have thought about this kind of good thing.

Lu Ze was really moved, not just because of this one thing, since he first met Mr. Chen, he voted for himself as a second-level actor, and then stood up for Lu Ze in the contradiction with Qianshijia, so that in the past two years, Qianshijia has not even won a domestic award.

This time, I recommended Lu Ze to the Electricity Association, how can you let Lu Ze repay these favors? And what is the purpose of Mr. Chen's help to Lu Ze? It is just to appreciate Lu Ze, a young man, although he has taught Lu Ze the performance skills of drama, but at most he has a master and apprentice, but he does not have the name of master and apprentice, such an old man, he is naturally grateful.

Fools will choose not to enter, and this is the opportunity given by Mr. Chen, just give it or not, it will inevitably disappoint the elderly, no matter from that aspect, entering the electricity association is beneficial and harmless for him, looking at the text on the mobile phone screen, thumbs scratched the screen a few times, typing and replying.

"I listen to your arrangement, Mr. Chen. ”

This kind of thing can't say when I go back, like someone brings you a good thing, and you have to wait for you to be free, the best answer is to listen to the other party's arrangement, when the other party asks you to go back, without saying a word, get up and leave, is the best choice.

The film festival has opened at this moment, in the applause and cheers of the guests and the audience who bought tickets, Germany's national treasure singer took the lead and sang a very cheerful song, of course, Lu Ze was thinking about the affairs of the electricity association, and did not listen to it, and waited until the mobile phone vibrated and quickly lit up the mobile phone screen.

"It will take a while for personnel transfers, and at present, the cadres have not left, they are handing over the work, and the preliminary work of the Golden Rooster Award must be completed by them, about three or four months later, it will be too late for you to come over again, and now that you start to take on foreign films, you have to take out a twelve-point attitude to shoot, don't embarrass the Chinese actors, and also, if you don't arrive at your hometown abroad, pay attention to safety. ”

"Definitely, Mr. Chen, don't worry. ”

After waiting for two minutes, the phone did not vibrate again, looked at the stage, and now the award has begun, put the phone back in the inner pocket of the suit, and applaud and congratulate the winners of the non-main competition unit.

The lights shone on the stage, the liquid in the goblet haloed into other colors, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, after making sure that it was water, he took a sip, rubbed his hands on his face repeatedly, calmed down, and then focused on the stage, the film festival, is the most important thing for him tonight.

......

After the end of the non-main competition unit awards such as documentaries and short films, it is a small item in the main competition unit, such as costumes, shooting, music, visual effects, post-production and other awards, there is no need to think about it, Lu Ze also knows that these awards have nothing to do with "Effect".

People's energy is limited, it is impossible to be all-encompassing, proficient in everything, you must know that the preparation and post-editing work of the crew are completed by Lu Ze and Mickey, the crew is so big, there is no top master in the industry as helpers, and it is naturally very difficult to win these small awards with the ability of the two.

Lu Ze won't say it, except for acting, other things can only be said to be good, not good at, Mickey's attainments in costumes are not high, and he is also insensitive to the use of color, and due to financial problems in music, they can only choose master works that have passed the property rights protection period, which plays a role in setting off the atmosphere.

The shooting was also limited to the equipment, and the shooting did not produce good results, as for the post-production...... A movie edited out of a home laptop can ensure the smoothness and sense of substitution of the story, which is already very encouraging.

The two of them didn't come for these awards, and when they saw the trophies handed over to the winners with tears in their eyes, they didn't feel the slightest anxiety in their hearts, until they competed for the best screenplay award, and the two who communicated in a casual whisper were more serious.

The two presenters on the stage talked and laughed, opened a vague yellow tone, picked up the envelope and opened it, deliberately reached out and shook the cuffs, pretended to glance at the people in the audience, and the smile gradually distorted.

"Winner of the Silver Bear at the 75th Berlin Film Festival, the Best Screenplay Award goes to ......"

"Mitch Taylor!"

"Yes, to be honest Lu Ze, I just like this moment. ”

With a slight flick of his wrist, accompanied by a soft self-celebration, Mickey got up in the shining lights, opened his arms with a smile, and did not shy away from the gaze of others, with a trace of conceit, expressing his joy to Lu Ze at the moment.

"Like someone doesn't like it, go up and claim the prize. ”

Looking up at this kid, Lu Ze applauded him gently, people allow geniuses to be conceited, because they think that geniuses are conceited, and Mickey is also in the ranks of being included, or rather, he has returned to the ranks of being included.

Strode onto the stage, shook hands with the two award presenters, took the trophy and put it on the podium, he sorted out his clothes in front of everyone, and finally cleared his throat.

"Wow~ Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad I can stand in this position again tonight and speak in front of everyone, I'm Mitch Taylor, the Mitch Taylor you are familiar with, not the drug addict in the news, thank you very much to the jury for giving me this award, I really didn't threaten them with a gun, haha, really...... I feel a lot of feelings, about the feelings of the movie, I think this is what I should say when I won the best director or the best picture, now I just want to say to everyone here, I will continue to surpass myself, make more and better movies, I hope to stand here every year, take away one trophy after another, and encourage you, pay tribute to the film art I love, thank you. ”

A typical Mickey-style speech, without too much gratitude, only a look forward to the future, revealing a conceit and arrogance that is not afraid of hostility from all people, as if to say that in front of him, everyone is a younger brother, just like Lu Ze saw him for the first time, he was not afraid of offending people at all, Lu Ze could only smile bitterly when he heard him say this.

He stepped down from the stage in such a dashing manner, swaggering in the dissatisfied eyes revealed by everyone, like a winner showing off his new toy, until he returned to his seat, he restrained a little, because his arrogance was not proud to show his friends, but just to show off to Lu Ze like a child, as if to say, look at what this is?

Perhaps the program team also felt the dissatisfaction of the guests in the audience, Mickey did not have too many shots after he stepped off the stage, and the next award, the Best Actress Award, slowed down a little when the award was presented, like giving the winner some compensation, so that everyone could listen to the Austrian woman's mental journey when she made a movie.

Until the woman left crying, the showdown related to Lu Ze officially began, and the status of the actor and actress in the eyes of ordinary fans is second only to the best film, and even above the best director, after all, no one likes to watch a greasy old man accept the award with a smile on stage.

Fifteen minutes ago, the live ratings of the Berlinale began to climb, and online topics continued to break through the original popularity, generating a large number of topics.

In anticipation, the well-known singer left the venue after singing, and two award presenters, a man and a woman, came on the stage, the male Lu Ze was a little familiar, he should have seen his works before, but because his beard was too dense, Lu Ze was completely unrecognizable, and the female guest made Lu Ze a little surprised, it was Cleopatra Berlin, Camia Xugula.

Under the humility of the male guests, she took the lead in thanking the film practitioners who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry this year, and made a joke with the male guests, and notified the big screen to play the film clips of the four nominees.

"Nominated for Best Actor at the 75th Berlin Silver Bear Awards...... Dennis Brown (Denmark) for "Died Underground": I hear you...... The mute is singing sad songs, the old man is learning to speak, material poverty causes spiritual wealth, but rich people will always find the meaning of life when they are born, there is not so much listening, there is not so much pity, if I want to add an appropriate word in front of life, then ...... One fucking sentence is enough. ”

"Markus Julien (Germany): Why should I be a clown in the circus? Why should I be the laughing stock of people like a brute? Why do I work hard every day and still can't eat! I don't have enough clothes! Why do I have raw tools and no one thinks I'm a man? Just because I'm a dwarf? Just because I'm a freak who isn't as tall as a normal human leg! Fuck it! Morgan! Tell me, is this fair!"

"The Magpie Spring Will Come Again" Marcel De Luca (Italy): I think...... I can go and have a drink, and then find a beautiful woman to be merry and have a good time, spend all my money for her, buy her the jewelry she likes, just for her to scream and give me a passionate kiss, and duel with my rival like a man, I don't care what the outcome is, because I know I'm going to have a hard time surviving this winter, but ...... Magpies will come back in spring. ”

"Effect" Lu Ze (UK, Huaxia): In this way, you will have dignity and your own beliefs, you are different from pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, other people, any other life in the world, you are you, an independent individual...... Your thinking deserves to be commended, and you can use your knowledge to defend your rights, even to the point of fighting death. ”

There is no doubt that this is a battle of dragons and tigers, although the score of "Effect" on IMBD has still reached 9.1, but other movies are not weak, with 8.3 points, 8.8 points and 8.1 points respectively, among which "Dwarf" has become a hit in German theaters this year.

Compared with Kyle played by Lu Ze, the dwarfism patient played by Marcus is more visually tense, because his figure does not rely on special effects, he is a dwarfism patient in real life, and this script is actually based on Marcus's grandfather.

In terms of acting ability, Lu Ze is a well-deserved big brother in it, every scene, every line, every action, and even every look is pinched appropriately, while Marcus is playing the leading role for the first time, and the time to enter the actor industry is relatively short, and his acting ability is two to three grades lower than Lu Ze.

He can fight with Lu Ze has two hole cards, first of all, he occupies the home advantage, the German native is more like the jury than Lu Ze, an outsider, and secondly, the jury will give Marcus some sympathy points.

It's not good to say, but if you don't give sympathy points, the German people will be dissatisfied, and as a commercial film festival founded by a company, they still have to take into account the impact of the public and the media, so before the results are announced, the atmosphere in the venue is really a bit confusing.

In this case, of course, Lu Ze couldn't help but look towards his competitor, but he didn't expect that Marcus, who was separated by three tables, had already stopped his eyes on Lu Ze's body, and the two looked at each other, and Lu Ze could see a strong indissoluble hostility in his eyes.

Due to his stature, not to mention the protagonist, even if it is a supporting role, there may not be a character with dwarfism in a hundred crews, so Marcus's acting career has been very bumpy, and it is common for him to not be able to eat.

Once he really wins the award, the salary will naturally rise sharply, so that the pressure on life will be reduced a lot, and he can even save a sum of money to face various diseases that dwarfism patients are prone to when they reach middle and old age, in other words, this trophy is his life-saving dependence.

Lu Ze understands Marcus's thoughts very well, of course he has seen the film "Dwarf", the film describes the complications of the patient's middle and old age in great detail, and Lu Ze is naturally sympathetic to the pain and suffering that Marcus will face in the future, but this is not a reason for him to give in.

First of all, the award is not decided by him, but by the panel of judges, he can't refuse the official trophy because of Marcus, which is very offensive, even if he is sympathetic to Marcus, he can't do it, otherwise he will offend the organizers, whether people will award the award he doesn't want to Marcus, it may also lead to him missing the Golden Bear Trophy in his life, which is absolutely unacceptable to him.

So he could only deliberately ignore these hostile eyes, nodded to Marcus in a friendly manner, and turned his head to wait for Kamiya's lottery results.

The envelope was opened, Kamiya had a gentle face, gently pulled her hair, took two steps forward to get close to the microphone, looked around at all the guests on the first floor of the venue, panted like a stuffy child, and shouted out the name of the winner of the Silver Bear trophy for Best Actor at the 75th Berlin Golden Bear Awards.

"I am announcing the winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor...... Lu Ze!"

Don't care how much the tension brought by your real illness shocked the audience, and don't care if the judges didn't give emotional points, and finally ...... Or Lu Ze won, the difference in strength is here, Marcus can't catch up, then he won't be unjustly lost.

When he looked at Marcus again, he was very disappointed, and was comforted by the other main creators of the "Dwarf" crew, Lu Ze saw it in his eyes, and felt a little embarrassed, but this time was definitely not the best time to apologize in the past, Lu Ze could only choose to turn a blind eye, slowly got up in Mickey's congratulations, sorted out his appearance, and generously accepted the applause and congratulations of the guests, and stepped onto the stage in three steps and two steps, and received the Silver Bear Trophy in Kamiya's hands...... It's here.
