Hearing that his film had won the award, the crew of "Hive" stood up excitedly and hugged each other tightly. Mario Camus, the director of "The Hive", is not a new director, he has been making films for more than ten years, but he is the first time he has been shortlisted for the main competition of the West Berlin Film Festival, and the first time he has been shortlisted for the main competition of the three major film festivals. He is a true newcomer to the festival. The excitement of winning the Grand Jury Prize for the first time in the main competition is indescribable.

While applauding the crew of "Hive", the audience couldn't help but talk.

"Is it 'A Game of Chess That Didn't End' or 'Fast in 1920'?"

"The final contest was between "Fast in 1920" and "A Game of Chess That Didn't End", which was a duel between art and commercial films. ”

"Fast in 1920 is a very critical film in the tradition of British realist cinema, while A Game of Chess is a surreal realist film, which is a duel between two different styles of realist cinema, which is interesting. ”

Amid the audience's chatter, Jeanne Moreau took center stage again. She looked at the audience and smiled: "Now it's only the best film left, and after this award is announced, this year's West Berlin Film Festival will be over." This year's festival has emerged a group of young directors with different backgrounds, different languages, and different subject matter, but they are all talented and make amazing good works. We have reason to believe that they represent the future of world cinema. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene resounded with warm applause. The film list of the main competition unit of this year's film festival is relatively cold, and there is a lack of support from master directors, but this gives young directors more opportunities. This year's festival has seen a number of new directors, including Edward Bennett, director of Fast in 1920, and Xu Wangqiu, director of A Game of Chess That Never Ends. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the film industry, and movies need fresh blood.

Jeanne Moreau continued: "I'm sure you've heard that there was a fierce debate among the jury about whether or not to give the top prize to a commercial film. So, which is the best film at this year's West Berlin Film Festival, we now reveal the answer. ”

With that, Jeanne Moreau lowered her head and opened the envelope in her hand, and the name of the winner was sealed in this small envelope.

The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if the air had frozen. Almost everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the envelope in Jeanne Moreau's hand, waiting for the final result.

The crew members of "Fast in 1920" all breathed stagnant at this moment, and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Under normal circumstances, the films invited to the awards ceremony are award-winning, but this is not absolute, and some crews attended the awards ceremony, but they also received nothing. Until the final answer is revealed, anything is possible.

"A Game of Unfinished Chess" is also nervous, they all feel like they have a spring in their hearts, and they are about to jump out of their chests. Even well-informed old Jianghu like Sun Daolin and Sanguo Rentaro had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads at this time. Xu Wangqiu couldn't help but hold his breath and stared at the envelope in Jeanne Morrow's hand.

Jeanne Moreau took out a blank piece of paper from the envelope and began to read the film's comments: "The director is good at showing war scenes, but also good at portraying the inner world of the characters. The scene of the army's suppression of the Irish resistance was thrilling and became a witness to history. The actress is highly praised for her superb acting skills. The winner of the Golden Bear Award at the 33rd West Berlin International Film Festival was ......"

Jeanne Morrow paused and announced loudly: "The British film 'Fast of 1920'!"

"Ahhh Although they won the FIPRESCI Award yesterday and became the number one favorites at this year's festival, they have all seen "A Game of Chess That Never Ends" and know how high the standard of the film is. To defeat such a movie, they really don't have any confidence at all. Throughout the awarding process, their hearts hung in the air. Now that they have won the Best Picture award, their hanging hearts have finally fallen to the ground, and they can celebrate boldly with confidence.

The audience gave warm applause, although "Fast in 1920" is not as good as "A Game of Chess", but it is really good, it is a very good movie. However, while applauding, many people are still staring at Jeanne Moreau, wanting to know if it is a double yolk egg and whether there is a prize for "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished".

At this moment, Jeanne Moreau smiled and spoke: "There is also an award-winning film, this time there are two films that have won awards. ”

Jeanne Moreau's words were thrown into the calm waters of the lake like a depth charge, and it immediately set off a shocking wave. The atmosphere of the scene exploded instantly, and many viewers who supported "A Game of Chess That Didn't Finish Yet" shouted excitedly. Everyone knows that this movie will not be another movie, it can only be "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished".

Jeanne Moreau began to read the comments of the organizing committee: "The director uses surreal techniques to connect the two spaces of psychology and reality, and vividly presents two souls seriously injured by the war in front of us. The film uses the fate of two ordinary families to outline the overall appearance of Chinese and Japanese society before and after the war, and makes in-depth thinking about the war, which is a movie with epic temperament. ”

"The winner of the Golden Bear Award at the 33rd West Berlin International Film Festival is ......" Na Morrow looked at Xu Wangqiu under the stage and announced with a smile, "The film "A Game of Chess That Never Ends" jointly produced by China and Dongying!"

The Dongying members of the crew of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" instantly boiled, shouting and hugging each other.

Junya Sato directly hugged Mori Shishige and shouted excitedly: "Golden Bear!

Akina Nakamori stood next to her, wiping her tears and clapping her hands vigorously.

The Chinese members of the crew are even more excited, so since the birth of Chinese films, there has never been a film that has won the highest award at the three major film festivals, and today this history has finally been rewritten. Although "A Game of Unfinished Chess" is a Sino-Japanese joint film, the real core of the movie is Xu Wangqiu, who is Chinese, and there is no problem at all with Chinese films. As witnesses and participants in this historical event, they are extremely proud and proud in their hearts.

Sun Daolin looked calm, but his agitated hands were trembling slightly.

Zhang Yimou's eyes widened, and he yelled at Xu Wangqiu: "Wangqiu! We have won the award! We have won the Golden Bear Award!"

Tang Yuqiang directly grabbed Xu Wangqiu's arm and shook it vigorously: "We really won the Golden Bear Award! We really won the Golden Bear Award!"

Xu Wangqiu was also very excited in his heart, although he won many awards at the film festival in his last life, he never won the highest award. Now that the Golden Bear Award is in hand, he feels the excitement and joy in his heart, like a flood that has released the floodgates, flowing out from his heart, and the whole person is instantly overwhelmed by that huge sense of joy.

After a brief celebration with the crew members, Xu Wangqiu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Okay! Now let's go to the stage! We all go up, this award belongs to all of us." ”

Some of the festival's awards are given to individuals and some are given to films. For example, the Best Director Award is for the director, and when the award is presented, it can only be the director who comes to the stage, and it is not appropriate for others to follow the stage. The Best Picture award is given to the film, and when the award is accepted, all members of the crew can be released.

"A Game of Chess That Never Ends" can win the award, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of all members of the crew, so Xu Wangqiu hopes that all members can come to the stage and share the glory of this moment.

The crew members all nodded, followed Xu Wangqiu and Sato Junya with excitement, and walked towards the stage in a majestic manner. The guests and spectators on both sides of the passage stood up and applauded Xu Wangqiu and them. When they walked onto the stage, the audience stood up, and even some of the judges sitting on the right side of the stage stood up and congratulated them with applause.

The crew of "Fast in 1920" came to the stage first, and when they came on stage, the response to the scene could not have been so enthusiastic. They were embarrassed to see the audience standing up and applauding "A Game of Chess That Didn't End". However, Xu Wangqiu was very friendly, and took the initiative to shake hands with them and congratulate them after taking the stage, which resolved their inner embarrassment.

After shaking hands with the crew of "Fast in 1920", Xu Wangqiu and Junya Sato walked up to Jeanne Moreau.

Jeanne Moreau looked at Xu Wangqiu and said with a smile: "Your movie is fantastic, it is really an amazing work. With that, she handed the golden trophy to Xu Wangqiu and Junya Sato. When she gave the trophy to Xu Wangqiu, she smiled and blinked: "You said that you had the opportunity to cooperate with me, I remember this sentence, don't forget it." ”

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "That's for sure, as long as there is a suitable script, I will definitely find you to cooperate." ”

Without further ado, Jeanne Moreau gave up her position to the directors of the two award-winning films.

Fast in 1920 was the first film directed by Edward Bennett, who never dreamed that his first film would win the Golden Bear in West Berlin. He was so agitated that he spoke incoherently and didn't know what to point.

After Edward Bennett delivered his acceptance speech, it was the turn of Xu Wangqiu and Junya Sato. Xu Wangqiu asked Junya Sato to speak first, but Junya Sato was not polite and came directly to the microphone.

Junya Sato is the first time to participate in the competition of the three major film festivals, but he didn't expect to win the Golden Bear Award, he was really excited, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone said thank you for winning the award, I was thinking just now, if I go on stage, can I say something other than thanks, but now I just want to say thanks." There are many people to thank, Mr. Yasushi Tokuma, Mr. Hu Jian, all the members of the crew, and all those who supported and helped the film. Thank you West Berlin Film Festival, thank you to the jury, thank you!"

After Junya Sato finished speaking, he gave up his position so that Xu Wangqiu could speak.

Xu Wangqiu walked to the microphone, took a light breath, and said in a calm tone: "Just now, Director Sato has already thanked everything that should be thanked, so I won't thank you anymore." I'm a director of genre films, and I make commercial films. And commercial films are discriminated against in many places and feel that they are not artistic. The jury's award of the Golden Bear to us was a great encouragement. It tells us that commercial films are not inferior and that there is nothing wrong with our choice. We will go down our own path and make movies for the audience and for the people. In the future, we will definitely be able to have more and better movies. Thank you!"

After speaking, Xu Wangqiu showed a bright smile and raised the Golden Bear trophy in his hand high.

Many reporters at the scene quickly pressed the shutter and photographed this exciting moment, which has become a long-term memory of this West Berlin Film Festival.
