Standing on the red carpet, a flash of lights flashing at him around him, Lin Yi just walked with his head held high, with a few confident smiles on his face. Eighty percent of those who took pictures around me were Westerners, and I couldn't afford to lose the face of Orientals.

Lin Yi walked on the red carpet for a few minutes before entering, but there were still some people outside who were still stuck there rubbing the camera, and their steps could be called 'devil's steps'! Every time they took a step forward, they seemed to be tormented, but they still had a forced smile on their faces.

"Here we go again. Director Jiang found his seat and sighed.

"It's not!" Li You chimed in.

Because it is the reason of the finalists, they sit relatively far forward, and they can clearly see the movements on the stage.

Lin Yi sat between Li You and Director Jiang, looking at the two bigwigs sitting next to him, Lin Yi's memory suddenly became a little trance-like. In an instant, Lin Yi suddenly saw Tu Yuyan in front of her eyes, she nervously arranged her long hair, and kept grabbing her arm and asked, "What if I don't speak a foreign language? Will I look ugly like this? Will I embarrass you? Oh, I'm so ashamed!"

Lin Yi's eyes were foggy, and he was immediately pulled back from the deep pool of memories by Li You's voice.

Lin Yi paused for a moment, and then came back to his senses only to find that what he was looking at was not the long-haired Tu Yuyan, but the bald-headed Li You...

"What do you want, keep staring at me!" Li You looked at Lin Yi angrily.

"No... It's nothing..."Lin Yi hurriedly shook his head, for fear that Li You would think of him as something wrong.

Then, Lin Yi hurriedly set his eyes on the stage not far away, and Li You also looked away suspiciously.

Next, Lin Yi's ears have been in an endless stream of foreign languages, although they contain English, German, and even some foreign languages that Lin Yi doesn't understand, probably French and Swedish.

On the contrary, most of the Easterners present were much calmer, they just sat quietly and whispered to a few friends around them, not as loudly as those Westerners.

This noise lasted about twenty minutes and ended with the official opening of the Berlinale awards ceremony.

Three presenters walked up to the stage, one male and two female, one of whom was a blonde girl who looked to be in her early twenties, but she stood confidently in the middle, holding the microphone, and then her eyes swept across the audience.

They spoke German that Lin Yi didn't understand, and they spoke very fast.

On this kind of incomprehensible occasion, Lin Yi and Director Jiang were accompanied by an interpreter, but they only applauded when others applauded.

Lin Yi looked up at the ceiling, this was a large auditorium, which could accommodate more than 800 people. Of course, because today is the award ceremony, all the people who can come in are related to the shortlisted works, or some journalists and very respected figures in the industry.

As always, at the beginning of the opening, a musician will be invited to perform an impressive performance.

But this time it's not the swede Burnskarsgård who he hated last year, but a dark-haired Westerner who looks at his facial features and eyes as an Italian.

However, to Lin Yi's surprise, he actually played the "Prelude to E Major" that he played in Berlin last year.

When his performance was over, Lin Yi saw the elderly musician stand up, and then his old and attentive eyes scanned the audience, and finally landed on Lin Yi, he stared at Lin Yi for a moment, and then smiled lovingly at Lin Yi, and said a string of languages that Lin Yi didn't understand on stage.

In the end, the stage was translated into German, and the translators around Lin Yi translated it into Chinese, to the effect that: "This piano piece was composed and performed by a very outstanding Chinese musician at the Berlin Film Festival last year, and last year became the first Oriental to win the Silver Bear Award, and he personally likes this music very much, and as a professor at the Rome Conservatory, he hopes to put this piano piece into the teaching materials." In addition, the Chinese musician came to the Berlin Film Festival award ceremony again today, but he came as a director this year. ”

The translator translated word by word, and Lin Yi listened to these words and looked at the bearded old man on the stage in a little surprise.

I didn't expect him to be a professor at the Conservatory of Rome in Italy...

At the same time, Lin Yi felt that many strange eyes were projecting towards him in the audience.

Lin Yi's mind was suddenly a little confused, he stood up, then raised his hand to the stage, made a gesture of thanks, and then bowed lightly to the audience.

Originally, I chose you just by accident, and everyone told me that you missed me as a director, but I didn't expect you to win the Silver Bear Soundtrack Award in one fell swoop, and now you are also being taken by the classroom of the Rome Conservatory, and now it seems that I have missed such a musical genius as you!" Director Jiang patted Lin Yi on the shoulder seriously.

Lin Yi suddenly felt that the air in the field was a little hot, he nodded at Director Jiang, but didn't say anything more.

That's the Rome Conservatory, after all... Modern piano music originated in Europe, and it is self-evident that Rome is placed in Europe! If the Beijing Conservatory of Music is the cradle of modern Chinese music, then the Rome Conservatory of Music is one of the cradles of European classical music!

Lin Yi's composition can be recognized by the professors of this kind of school, which undoubtedly greatly enhances his status in the academic circles in the circle!

Fortunately, everyone's next eyes were quickly drawn by the award ceremony, and they didn't stay on Lin Yi for too long.

The first to be presented was the Grand Jury Prize!

At the Berlin Film Festival, the highest award is the Golden Bear Award for Best Film! This is an international award coveted by filmmakers all over the world! In China, only a few people can win this award, and the first one is Director Zhang, the national teacher of today's Chinese film industry---!

Although in recent years, several films have emerged in South Asia and India, and they have even been blown into the sky by some international brains, believing that South Asia and India are the pinnacle of Asian films, but South Asian and Indian films are not on this stage at all.

And the glory of Asian films has always been maintained by the three East Asian countries led by China.

Under the Golden Bear Award is the Grand Jury Award, that is, the Silver Bear Award for Best Picture! Although this award is not as good as the Golden Bear Award, its gold content is definitely higher than any award outside the three major international film festivals!

Director Jiang's "Let the Bullets Fly" was shortlisted for the Jury Award!

Interestingly, Director Zhang, the national teacher of the Chinese Film Festival, happens to be one of the members of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival.

Lin Yi, like the rest of the audience, stared at the big screen on the stage with full attention, and carefully paid attention to every word the host said, although he couldn't understand the German they spoke, but... I guess I understand the name.

"The next thing to be announced to you is our jury prize...", the good-looking hostess held the card.

Lin Yiyu glanced at Director Jiang, and he could clearly feel that Director Jiang's expression was wrong.

After all, this is the second time he has been shortlisted for the Grand Jury Prize... And before, he had already won all three gold medals in China, and even won the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes and the Golden Lion nomination in Venice.

"Let the bullets fly!" Lin Yi heard a sentence in his ears.

Lin Yi looked at the stage with a little incredulous eyes, and then the big screen began to play the clip of "Let the Bullets Fly", which was the scene of Director Jiang, Li You and Zhou Wenfa.

Lin Yi stood up excitedly but silently, and then hugged Director Jiang, and Director Jiang hugged Li You and Director Jiang's wife who accompanied him.

"Please go up with you. The translator whispered in everyone's ears.

Lin Yi nodded, and then followed behind Director Jiang and Li You.

Director Jiang excitedly accepted the Silver Bear Award, which was a sturdy Silver Bear standing up and waving its teeth and claws towards the void.

Director Jiang's hand kept rubbing the Silver Bear Award, then put his mouth on the microphone and said Huaxiawen, "Thank you very much to the Berlin jury for recognizing me, I feel very honored to receive this award." Here I also want to give special thanks to my actor, Li You, and my screenwriter, Lin Yi. ”

When Director Jiang spoke, there were translators around him who took the microphone and translated into German to the audience.

Not long after, Lin Yi was quickly pushed into front of the microphone, he took the microphone a little sluggishly, then pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Thank you very much for your support..."

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly noticed a fiery gaze, he followed his gaze and found that it was actually the professor of the Rome Conservatory...

Lin Yi hurriedly followed everyone down, and then took a deep breath.

Lin Yi could clearly sense the gaze of most of the people in the audience looking at him just now, very strange and surprised.

That feeling made Lin Yi feel like a baboon being watched!

They feel that Lin Yi is like a monster, obviously everyone is a straight man, and everyone also says that you are not very good at talking and you can't flirt with girls. But why is it that when you see your girl, you suddenly have a guitar and a piano, and you can also play basketball?

When Lin Yi sat down, he could still feel that there were a lot of eyes staring at him in the audience.

Fortunately, the awards ceremony was exciting, and everyone was a professional filmmaker after all.

Lin Yi sat next to Director Jiang, and could feel that Director Jiang was repeatedly admiring the workmanship of the Silver Bear Award, and his mouth emitted some heartfelt admiration from time to time, and his eyes were also full of love.

Immediately, Director Jiang suddenly looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Do you think this Silver Bear Award is good-looking?"

Lin Yi glanced at it and nodded.

After all, he has one of his own... But now it's in that villa in Star City...

"It's really good-looking, I used to think it was very good-looking, but now that I've won the Silver Bear Award, I don't think it's interesting. Hahaha!" Director Jiang smiled.

Lin Yi smiled faintly.

After all... What you can't get is the best!

"It's up to you next!" Li You looked at Lin Yi with great satisfaction.

Lin Yi shook his head and hurriedly said don't, don't.

He doesn't like to expect too much, because the higher the expectation, the more painful the failure!

It's a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, when Li You said this, Lin Yi's originally calm heart also began to get nervous, and the fire of hope hidden in his heart began to burn again, spreading wantonly in the endless grassland of his originally brilliant heart, and instantly encroached on all his desires.

Lin Yi felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and his cheeks began to get a little hot.

Time passed little by little, and then there were various awards, but nearly half of them were taken away by Western Caucasians, and a small part of the awards were also taken away by Sakura Country, and the rest were basically filmmakers from third world countries.

The Best Actor and Best Actress and the Golden Bear Award were placed at the end, and the next award was the innovative spirit award in which Lin Yi participated!

This award, the Berlin Film Festival has been established for a long time, mainly to encourage filmmakers to innovate in the form, but it is a pity, because the films made by the predecessors are too profound, and the younger generations basically continue to study in the template carved by the predecessors.

There are very few that can really talk about innovation.

And this award has not been given for several years.

And this year, Lin Yi's film and a low-budget film from the United States were shortlisted for this award at the same time!

Lin Yi looked nervously at the big screen on the stage, and the voice in his ears was still the host's string of German that Lin Yi couldn't understand.

Looking at the screen and listening to the voice, Lin Yi's breathing became more and more rapid.

He felt that his hearing and hearing were sensitive, and he could even hear a footstep coming from the seat behind him, and the slightest insignificant flaw on the podium.

And his breathing became more and more rapid... And it got heavier and heavier, until he could hear his own breathing clearly.

"It's okay, you can be shortlisted for this award, it has proven your innovative strength!" Director Jiang felt Lin Yi's mood fluctuations and gently patted him on the back.

Lin Yi nodded, but didn't say anything.

Breathing didn't ease at all.

Comfort without empathy is just nonsense.

"This is the first time in eight years that we have presented the award! We are also very fortunate that there are more innovative films in this year's film than in previous years, but it can only be that one film that can win this award. ”

"At the same time, we also hope that the one who did not win the award will not be discouraged, this is just a small accident in life. ”

The translator translated word by word in Lin Yi's ear, but Lin Yi didn't listen to it much.

He was just paying attention to whether the host had his own name when he said it.

What bullshit doesn't pay attention to fame and fortune! Most of them are just self-consoling words from people who can't get fame and fortune.

"Let's congratulate this year's Spirit of Innovation Award winner, Cyber Mystery"
