Chapter 167: Bear!
The Silver Bear trophy is not too big, but it is beautifully made.
Li Qian held the trophy in his hand, lowered his head and looked at it, he didn't have to deliberately control it, he didn't have to deliberately show it, he naturally had a smile and joy on his face - nonsense, winning three Silver Bear Awards at the same time, even if he would be stunned for a while, but he still reacted quickly.
No matter who wins the Golden Bear Award in the end, it is estimated that this film festival will be considered the saddest Golden Bear Award, because their limelight is bound to be overshadowed by the fact that "Red Sorghum" won three Silver Bear Awards at the same time!
Moreover, on the way to the stage to accept the award, after thinking about it deeply, Li Qian also slowly came back to his senses - yes, suddenly invited Liao Liao to come over, if he just sent himself a Best Actor or something, the influence and sensational effect was obviously not as shocking as giving three of them at once like now!
The global influence of the three major European film festivals is still in decline, so when a singer like himself who has a certain degree of influence and topicality in the world, he chose Berlin for the first time to participate in the film festival in Europe, and the works he brought are indeed quite amazing. So for the Berlin Film Festival, just don't do it twice, make the momentum to the maximum, and on the one hand, it will definitely stand on the cusp of the storm at once, and become the focus and hot spot of the entire world cultural circle - this is the way to maximize benefits!
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that I won three Silver Bear Awards at the same time, which is a matter of course!
“…… Li Qian and I were classmates, and when we were in college together, we slept in bunk beds, so we were very familiar with each other, and before the shooting, he told me, do a good job, we have to show 120% of our talents......"
Fu Xuelong was the first to be read his name, so he was the first to give an acceptance speech.
But he was too nervous, excited and nervous, and he didn't prepare well beforehand, plus his English wasn't very good...... Therefore, although it is memorized, it is often inconsistent with the preamble.
At this time, Liao Liao actually came over and stretched out his hand to receive the trophy, Li Qian smiled and handed it to her, she took it in her hand and looked left and right, and weighed it.
Many people in the audience noticed this little action of the celebrity couple, and couldn't help laughing out loud at this time.
Fu Xuelong was already nervous, but when he heard the laughter, he suddenly became even more confused, and in an instant, he was sweating, and he looked to the side along everyone's gaze to know what was going on over there.
Well, after brushing it, Fu Xuelong seems to have come back to his senses all of a sudden - this guy is really striving for perfection in photography, paying special attention to some small details, but leaving photography, he is actually still relatively nervous in life.
This time, it is estimated that the Silver Bear Award came too suddenly, so he was calmed down all of a sudden, which was a bit of a miscalculation and abnormal reaction.
However, now he is recovering.
Both of them can make small moves on stage, which shows that this is not a big deal!
So, the guy adjusted his mind and said into the microphone in his not very fluent English: "I'm twenty-five years old this year, so, Berlin...... I'll be back!"
"Wow......"
There was a burst of surprise from the audience, but soon, warm applause rang out.
The tone seems to be a bit big, but a young genius who has just been twenty-five years old, has already shot those stunning and captivating scenes in "Red Sorghum", and has already won the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography at the Berlin Film Festival, who dares to define his future?
At the age of twenty-five, he is qualified to be young and frivolous!
Even if it's the Berlin Film Festival!
So, Fu Xuelong bowed slightly to the audience in the applause, and then retreated to Li Qian's side, Qin Jingjing wanted to push, Li Qian waved his hand directly at her, meaning to let her go first.
Fu Xuelong, who had returned, took his trophy and put it forward with the trophy in Liao Liao's hand, as if he was comparing it, and found that it was the same size, which was very surprised.
Li Qian couldn't help but scolded in his heart for "two goods"!
Qin Jingjing was also very excited, but with Fu Xuelong as a buffer, although she was nervous, she basically didn't make any big mistakes.
She is the first international film festival actress trained under Li Qian!
Because of this actress, her status within the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department will be close to Bai Yujing and He Yingyu, and she will become a Hua Dan and Tsing Yi who are enough to keep pace with the two of them.
In terms of the entire Chinese film industry, among the original young generation of actresses, it should be regarded as the two-person hegemony of He Yingyu and Fu Hongxue, and the others are more than one grade weaker in terms of popularity and coffee position, but now, suddenly, Qin Jingjing is qualified to join in!
A Berlin Film Festival actress is enough to make her a high-end acting school like Ming Xiaojing!
And the problem is that she is only twenty-eight years old, her appearance is still at her peak, for an actress with acting skills, for at least the next ten years, there is no need to worry about the transformation, but Ming Xiaojing is already a person who is about to run to forty, in recent years, it has been difficult for her to receive the role of a young woman, and now she has begun to take the initiative to transform and seek her own path as a director.
Therefore, no matter what you think or how you look at it, the banner of the acting school in the Chinese film industry in the future will inevitably be carried on her shoulders - unless in the next few years, someone can go to Europe again to get an actor or actress or something!
Qin Jingjing's acceptance speech was read for more than three minutes, and then, she raised the Silver Bear Award trophy in her hand in the applause, greeted the audience, and then turned around and walked back.
This time, it was Li Qian's turn.
Taking the trophy from Liao Liao's hand, he walked to the front of the speaker and lifted the microphone up.
Fu Xuelong is 1.74 meters, Qin Jingjing is less than 1.7 meters, and Li Qian is 1.85 meters.
Standing, the trophy is placed on the stage, and he looks down.
As early as when he walked to the speaker's seat, there was already applause from the audience, sparse, not to mention enthusiastic - although the film has had a lot of fans since it was screened at the Berlin Film Festival, and everyone's evaluation is very high, but most of the people sitting at the award ceremony are colleagues from all over the world.
"Thank you, thank you......"
Li Qian nodded slightly, thanked him, and the already faint applause stopped completely.
"Thank you to the organizers and judges, you are so bold!"
That was his first sentence.
The audience was stunned for a moment, but soon, someone in the audience laughed and applauded.
People who were a little disappointed, frustrated, and even depressed and distressed because of the award of "Red Sorghum", at this time, couldn't help but look up at him with his words.
Many people who have nothing to do with themselves applaud, of course, applauded applauded this sentence.
Yes, three Silver Bear Awards, awarded to a film at the same time, this is indeed a bold thing, and it is something that the judges of the Berlin Film Festival have not dared to do for so many years before.
It is even a spectacle that rarely appears in the three major European film festivals.
On the other hand, on the Hollywood side, the Oscar has had more than one winner-takes-all grand slam.
"But I want to say that your guts and courage are to be encouraged!"
This is the second sentence.
"Wow......"
Just like Fu Xuelong's wild words just now, many people in the audience couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.
This sentence is a bit arrogant.
"The filming of the movie "Red Sorghum" was very difficult. But I know that any movie is the result of the hard work of filmmakers, so I'm not going to complain. ”
This is the third sentence.
The audience gradually fell silent.
"As far as I know, in my motherland, more than 3,000 films are filmed and produced every year, among which, of course, there will be a large number of shoddy productions, but there are also a large number of fine products worthy of encouragement, and there are many artistic treasures that are qualified to represent the entire Chinese film industry and be appreciated by people all over the world!"
"However, in the past so many years, Chinese films have received too little support, affirmation and encouragement from their European counterparts!"
At this moment, many people in the audience were surprised.
This is almost a face-to-face accusation that the three major European film festivals are discriminating against Chinese films?
"The Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival are known as the three major European film festivals, but I want to say that the three major film festivals are the banners of film and art, and they should not belong only to European films, or only to Asian films. From an artistic point of view, the best films in the world have been selected!"
After a pause and a sigh of relief, Li Qian continued: "It is an honor that "Red Sorghum", as a Chinese film, has received such great recognition and encouragement from this Berlin Film Festival. I hope that in the future, more Chinese films will be recognized and encouraged by the judges, because I am sure that my motherland has many excellent filmmakers and excellent works that are being filmed every year. ”
"Thank you again at the Berlinale for your encouragement and affirmation of me personally and for the film "Red Sorghum", and thank you for your audacity!"
"Please believe that you have done a very right thing! and please continue on such a correct and great path, because in that way, you will continue to make the Berlinale a temple of film art forever, and you will be admired and worshiped by countless filmmakers who come after you!"
"Thank you!"
Li Qian bowed slightly, then picked up the trophy and turned to leave the speaker's seat.
The audience burst into applause.
There is no one who does not love his motherland, and in the same way, there is no remark that loves his motherland and strives to fight for better treatment and more opportunities for his compatriots in his homeland.
As a 25-year-old winner of the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Li Qian's speech was a little agitated, and even very clearly criticized the awards of the three major European film festivals in the past years, but at the same time, he also clearly expressed his affirmation of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival.
His views are biased or extreme, but they are beyond reproach.
At this moment, when Li Qian, Fu Xuelong, and Qin Jingjing walked off the stage with trophies in their hands, many big-name European directors and film masters couldn't help but turn their heads and frequently saluted this young man from China - unruly, sharp, but calm and rational, this is the first impression established by many filmmakers, film critics, and film masters who are indifferent to entertainment and know nothing about Li Qian before.
…………
After the Silver Bear Award was presented, the presenters and winners left the venue one after another.
The president of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival, the famous French director and world-renowned film master Zidanda Hugo took the stage.
In the world, the influence and popularity of several Zidanda Hugo together are not as good as Liao Liao or Joshua Chris, but in the palace of movies, his right to speak is by no means comparable to box office superstars like Joshua Chris.
In his hand, he held a sealed letterhead.
Everyone knows that the biggest suspense of this film festival and the highest honor, the Golden Bear Award, is about to be released - although there are the three Silver Bear Awards in front, this year's Golden Bear Award is a little sad, but the Golden Bear Award is the Golden Bear Award, and no matter how many Silver Bear Awards there are, it is only the Silver Bear Award.
Zidanda Hugo walked to the speaker's seat, looked up at the microphone in front of him, and broke him down, but after thinking about it, he actually broke it up again, and basically broke it back to its original state.
So, he could only hold his head up slightly, leaned into the microphone, and said solemnly: "The highest award of this year's Berlin Film Festival, the Golden Bear Award, will be awarded to ......"
Halfway through speaking, he lowered his head and opened the envelope.
Everyone in the audience watched his movements with wide eyes.
After "Red Sorghum" won three silver bears in a row, everyone was extremely curious about which film the jury would award the Golden Bear Award to!
The biggest name of this year's Berlin Film Festival is definitely the new work "Golden Palace" brought by the British film master James McCullough, and James McCullough is really not much lower than Zidanda Hugo in the circle of art films, both of whom are recognized in the current film circle as one of the few film masters in the world.
In fact, "Golden Palace" is indeed quite brilliant.
So after watching "Golden Palace", many people feel that this movie will definitely be the biggest hit of the Golden Bear Award - this is really not purely from the director's status in the rivers and lakes, the reason why the film master has become a film master is because his level is indeed extraordinary, and it has always been extraordinary!
It's just that even if "Golden Palace" wins this year's Golden Bear Award, its persuasiveness is only difficult to compare with the previous ones - three Silver Bear Awards, this gimmick and heavyweight, is really good!
Many people turned their heads to look at James McCullough's position.
The old man and the old god are here, his lips are slightly pursed, and his face is arrogant, but there is still some expectation in his expression.
At this time, in the eyes of the audience, Zidanda Hugo finally opened the envelope.
He glanced down, then he raised his head, leaned his head closer to the microphone, and said, "Li Qian, Red Sorghum"!"
Boom, the scene suddenly exploded.
***
Brothers, there are still 25 hours left, July is about to pass, and I will ask you for the last monthly pass for July!
Please rummage through your pockets, and if you have one, you can vote for it!
Also, compared to the first half of the year, I worked hard in July, so I should be encouraged, right?
