“…… I would also like to thank my mom for her encouragement and keeping me going all these years......!

March 4, 3:40 p.m. local time in Germany.

On the stage was a young director from Hungary.

Offstage, because of the relationship between the same from China, the crew of "Promise" and the crew of "Red Sorghum" were arranged by the organizer to sit next to each other - of course, not to mention that compared with the Oscars Gala and the closing ceremony of the Yangcheng Film Festival, the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is not even comparable to Cannes.

Relatively shabby.

Zhang Zifang leaned a little over this side and asked with a smile, "Are you ready for your acceptance speech?"

Li Qian smiled, "Not necessarily!"

Zhang Zifang glanced at him with an ambiguous smile, but she didn't know if it was Li Qian's illusion, and she always felt that there was a little grievance and helplessness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Liao Liao flew to Berlin temporarily, and according to internal sources, he was going to participate in the award - they were all insiders, each with their own news channels, and no one's news was much slower than the other. In the same way, no one's IQ has to be much lower! Liao Liao was invited so temporarily, and it is said that he was going to present the Silver Bear Award with Joshua Chris, and many people instantly thought that "Red Sorghum", which has recently been very popular at film festivals and among local fans in Berlin, is probably going to win an award!

Let Liao Liao award the award to Li Qian, look, what a gimmick!

But at the same time, if "Red Sorghum" wins the Silver Bear, can you expect the Berlinale to award a major award to another Chinese film at the same time?

How can it be!

Over the years, although Chinese films have been defeated and defeated repeatedly, one reality that has to be admitted is that for Chinese films, it is very difficult to win even one award of sufficient weight at the three major European film festivals—— let alone win two at the same time!

Your director, screenwriter, and actor will definitely win an award!"

When Zhang Zifang spoke, there was a slight taste of Wu Nong's soft words, and even when he sighed, his voice was soft and glutinous - with a little envy.

After a pause, she said sincerely: "Your film is really good! I said it at the time, and it surprised me! So, you deserve to win the award! I envy and jealousy, but I also admire!"

Speaking of this, this southern woman smiled and said, "You are winning glory for our Chinese films!"

Li Qian shrugged, "Sister Zhang, I'm really not sure that I can win the award, don't beat me so much in advance, if I can't get the award later, I will be very disappointed!"

Zhang Zifang laughed when she heard this, and shook her head, "With my understanding of the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival, don't worry, it won't!"

After a pause, she sighed and said: "Since Director Qin's "Red Light District" won two awards in Venice in 94, our domestic films have been nine years, and we have not been able to take back any awards of sufficient weight from the three major European film festivals.

Li Qian could only shrug his shoulders.

The results haven't come out yet, what can he say at this time?

But I don't know if it's because of some loss, Zhang Zifang seems to have a lot of words today, at least much more than when we chatted together that day! After sighing, she suddenly turned her head to stare at Li Qian, as if she had thought of something, until Li Qian was furious by her, she said softly: "Director Qin's work is called "Red Light District", and yours is called "Red Sorghum"! It can't be that European film festivals are particularly fond of Chinese red, right?"

Speaking of this, she said truthfully and falsely: "Then you say, do you want to make a ...... in my next film, "Red Lantern", "Red Envelope", and "Red Envelope"...... Rug?...... Or something?"

Li Qian was stunned.

But before he could say anything, Zhang Zifang had already lowered his head and covered his mouth and chuckled.

Only then did Li Qian know that he had actually been molested.

…………

The closing ceremony of the Yangcheng Film Festival has an hour-and-a-half-hour cultural performance interspersed in the middle, and the Tokyo Film Festival also organizes a lot of small programs every year to show the excellent culture of the country, but the three major film festivals in Europe are more shabby than one in this regard - but the advantage is that there are fewer flowers, and their awards are very clean and neat.

Here, Li Qian was still chatting with Zhang Zifang, and heard that the host over there had invited international superstar Joshua Chris and the famous global diva China Liao to appear.

Li Qian and Zhang Zifang quickly ended their chat, and they both sat up with each other.

Turning his head inadvertently, he could see that Qin Jingjing and Fu Xuelong over there looked like they couldn't even breathe, and when they looked down, Qin Jingjing had already clenched their fists.

Yes, knowing that Liao Liao suddenly received an invitation from the organizer to fly to Berlin to present the award, and it was to present the Silver Bear Award, many people guessed that it should be "Red Sorghum" to win the award.

And theoretically speaking, the Silver Bear Award is awarded to Li Qian himself, whether it is the best screenwriter, best director or best actor, in short, the trophy must be handed over from Liao Liao to Li Qian, in order to achieve the greatest publicity effect that the organizers want to achieve.

So basically, this Silver Bear Award should have nothing to do with Fu Xuelong's Best Cinematography and Qin Jingjing's Best Actress.

But it's good that only Li Qian won the award!

Silver Bear Award!

No matter which Silver Bear Award Li Qian will win in the end, the best screenplay is very good, the best actor is very good, and the best director is also very good, in short, this will definitely be the first Silver Bear Award in the history of Chinese films!

Although compared to Qin Wei's feat of winning the Golden Lion Award for herself at the Venice Film Festival with a "Red Light District", he also helped Ming Xiaojing win the Silver Lion Award for Best Actress and put her on the stage of the goddess, it seems that she is still half a grade behind, and the sensation is also so bad, but ...... It's already good!

The Berlin Film Festival has a breakthrough of zero!

The three major film festivals in Europe, we are here, and then we will plant the flag!

In the past few days when she came here, Qin Jingjing has pestered John Days to inquire about things like the three major film festivals in Europe and the Screen Actors Guild in the United States, which are all insider gossip, so at this time, Qin Jingjing not only has a good understanding of the three major film festivals, but also agrees with it.

Therefore, Li Qian, as a singing superstar with global influence, came to Europe to participate in the film festival for the first time and came up with amazing excellent works, so after the Berlin Film Festival awarded him the trophy, it is easy to create a cooperation situation between the two sides.

If Li Qian can still make an excellent work in the follow-up, the Berlin Film Festival will definitely be tilted to the greatest extent - at that time, as long as the heroine is still herself, as long as she works hard and progresses as always, and closely follows Li Qian's pace, who dares to say that she will not achieve the second post-closure of Chinese actors at the three major European film festivals after Ming Xiaojing!

So at this moment, Qin Jingjing's body is nervous, but her heart is excited.

Even thinking about it, thinking of that wonderful prospect, she couldn't help but flush a little, like dyed peach blossoms—in a way, she was the kind of person who pursued her acting achievements far more than she pursued money. For her, it's good to have enough money to spend, not to ask for luxury, but the higher the acting skills, the better, the more difficult the role, the better, the better the performance, the more awards, the better, and people's praise and recognition, the better!

In the midst of his reverie, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Qin Jingjing was startled, turned her head, and saw Li Qian's smiling face, looked at her, and then looked at Fu Xuelong over there, and said with a smile: "You two, take it easy, don't be so nervous!"

Qin Jingjing pursed her lips and nodded.

Fu Xuelong also seemed to want to nod, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back, leaned over, and turned his head to look at the stage, and heard Liao Liao and Joshua Chris still having a little humor before the awards, so he asked in a low voice: "The person who will win the award later is you, aren't you nervous?"

Is Li Qian nervous?

, of course!

It's the Berlin Film Festival!

Regardless of the past and present life, this time and space or that time and space, this is one of the most influential film festivals in the world, and the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival is also a film award recognized worldwide!

It can be said that it is the greatest praise and encouragement for a filmmaker!

Before coming to this time and space, Li Qian was filming TV series over there, and it could only be regarded as a small and medium-cost TV series, and he was an assistant director at best!

Therefore, even what national drama festival and what Golden Eagle Award are very attractive to him!

came to this time and space, because the advantages he carried were too great, and there seemed to be a dislocation of "I am an outsider" who was above the whole world, so he has always been a little unmotivated by the domestic music awards, film and TV series awards.

However, that doesn't include the big prizes of the three major European film festivals!

Before, it was true that he was holding the attitude of turning around and winning the award, and it didn't matter if he won the award, but that was because he felt that he should not be able to get it, so he was so calm and calm, and now he knows that he is at least seventy or eighty percent likely to win the Silver Bear Award, you let him not be excited, continue to be calm, how is that possible!

But then again...... His self-control ability is still much better than Qin Jingjing, Fu Xuelong, and even Zhang Zifang.

Because if you think about it carefully, Zhang Guoshi's version of "Red Sorghum" is even better than his own version, and people directly won the Golden Bear Award!

So...... A Silver Bear Award, don't show your cowardice!

Although Zhang Guoshi couldn't see it, he always felt that he would see it, so he would be afraid of being ridiculed!

So at this time, Li Qian continued to pretend to be calm, and said with a little pretending: "Nervous...... Nervous too, but you're not as obvious as you, are you?"

Fu Xuelong was choked by him, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Liao Liao on the stage saying in English: "Then, I announce that the winner of the Silver Bear Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival is ...... Fu Xuelong, Best Cinematography, "Red Sorghum"!"

At this time, Fu Xuelong was in the audience, debating with Li Qian Xiao across Qin Jingjing, "Am I obvious? I think ...... Huh?

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and Qin Jingjing was also stunned for a moment.

At this time, the audience burst into applause.

Zhang Zifang smiled, with a slight hint of surprise on his face, and said to Li Qian: "Congratulations, congratulations! Xiaofu, the best photography, the Silver Bear Award, come to the stage to accept the award!"

Fu Xuelong's face was full of astonishment.

Or rather...... It's a face full of horror.

He was surrounded by applause, pushed by Qin Jingjing, who came back to his senses, and then subconsciously stood up.

At this moment, the brain is confused!

, Asia's first Silver Bear Award for Best Photography!

It's me?

it!

At this time, I suddenly thought that before the filming started, Li Qian once said to himself, "Work hard, give me 12% of my talent, and strive to become famous!

Turning his head to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian yelled at him, "Don't be stunned, go up!"

Fu Xuelong didn't know if he was used to being yelled at by Li Qian, and he was about to become a muscle memory, Li Qian asked him to "hurry up", but before his brain could react, his body had already subconsciously turned around and walked to the passage next to him - as soon as he raised his foot, he touched the leg of the person sitting on the other side.

At this time, he seems to be stupid!

But at this time, he had just left the table and walked into the passage leading to the stage, and at the award booth, Liao Liao's voice sounded again, "Qin Jingjing, Best Actress, "Red Sorghum"!"

Qin Jingjing was happily looking at Fu Xuelong's back and applauding, and said in her heart that it was really the Silver Bear Award!

Although there is a gap between what was expected, the person who won the award in the end was not Li Qian, but after all, the Silver Bear Award was still obtained! Best Cinematography is a technical award, especially the best cinematography at the Berlin Film Festival.

Of course, the movie won the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography, although the winner was Fu Xuelong and not Li Qian, but presumably no one would be stupid enough to attribute the high level of cinematography of a movie to the photographer!

So...... Happy! Happy!

Then, while she was clapping, she suddenly heard her name.

Like just now, out of respect for all the guests, when reading "Best Actress" and "Red Sorghum", it must be translated into English, but the three words "Qin Jingjing" are pure personal names, so Liao Liao's pronunciation is correct and round, and it is absolutely Chinese.

Qin Jingjing was also stunned.

I?

Silver Bear?

Her performance was no better than Fu Xuelong just now, she looked overly surprised, and turned her head to look at Li Qian, pointing at herself, "Me?"

Li Qian couldn't help but be happy, and pointed to the stage excitedly, "Don't talk nonsense, of course it's you, hurry up and go on stage!"

The same film festival, the same film, won two Silver Bear Awards at once!

It's certainly not the first time, but it's still a glorious one that can be re-entered into the history of the Berlinale!

For Chinese films, it is even more brilliant than ever!

Before the applause fell, it was already enthusiastic again.

Many people turned their heads to look at the location of the crew of "Red Sorghum" here.

Qin Jingjing stood up stupidly, listening to Li Qian yelling in her ear, she was similar to Fu Xuelong, and subconsciously walked to the aisle next to her.

At this time, Li Qian's heart was open, and his face was full of red light.

Zhang Zifang leaned over, shook his head slightly, and looked envious, "Two Silver Bear Awards, Xiao Qian, you are going to become famous in one fell swoop!"

Li Qian was stupid, and he would only laugh "hehe" at this time.

Although the winners of the two Silver Bear Awards are not themselves, they are all brought out by themselves, and they all won the award through their own "Red Sorghum", this feeling is basically not much different from winning the award by themselves!

So he laughed, and he modestly said to Zhang Zifang, who still had nothing until now: "Thank you, Sister Zhang!"

But at this time, in the award presenter seat on the stage, Joshua Chris stood aside with a smile, and Liao Liao, who was holding a card, had a mysterious smile on his face, and actually lowered his head for the third time, approached the microphone, and said with a smile: "Li Qian, Best Actor, "Red Sorghum"!"

"Wow......"

The audience burst into exclamations.

The applause seemed to pause, and then it became more and more enthusiastic!

Fu Xuelong was still on the road, and he had already stood stunned.

Qin Jingjing had just entered the aisle, and after walking a few steps forward, she also stood stunned at this time.

The eyes of almost everyone at the entire award ceremony couldn't help but turn their heads or turn their heads at this time, looking at the location of the crew of "Red Sorghum"!

Three Silver Bear Awards at one film festival?

It's not that it hasn't happened in history, in 74, there were three Silver Bear Awards, one of which was the best screenplay that was not before, and the judges of that session temporarily felt that it was added, and then then the Berlin Film Festival began to have the Best Screenplay Award, and in 90, there were also three Silver Bear Awards. But whether it was in '74 or '90, there were no exceptions when three Silver Bear Awards were given to three different films!

And this time, three Silver Bear Awards were issued at the same time, and they were actually issued to the same movie!

This is the absolute first in the decades-long history of the Berlinale!

So, the audience was amazed and the audience was watched!

The organizers and judges of the three major European film festivals, one counts as one, and they are all capricious enough, so it is not surprising that they will make any strange decisions, such as at the Cannes Film Festival in another time and space, at that time, some judges insisted on voting for Leslie Cheung for Best Actress, because she thought that Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine" was a woman!

Therefore, the three Silver Bear Awards, and the same movie, will indeed make people a little surprised and a little stunned, but after the surprise, thinking about the temper of these judges, the group of filmmakers from all over the world on the scene were soon relieved - of course, disappointment is inevitable!

Three Silver Bear Awards, awarded to the same film, such a feat will bring "Red Sorghum", which was previously popular at the film festival, to a very, very high position!

Even, maybe even the limelight of the Golden Bear Award at this film festival will be completely overwhelmed by it!

Li Qian was pushed by Zhang Zifang and subconsciously stood up.

The face is expressionless.

Silly and silly.

But at this time, no one knew, he was saying in his heart-

"it!"
