On February 20, 2000, at the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, the red carpet was once again, the media gathered in front of the Potsdam Building, and the long guns and short guns of reporters were aimed at the stars who came in in Audi cars, and it was another grand ceremony.

Compared with the star-studded opening ceremony, this time the closing ceremony inevitably fell into a bleak predicament, Tom has already flown back to the United States, and many Hollywood stars who walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony before also did not attend the closing ceremony, so the enthusiasm of the media is also less.

After the release of the crew of "Sometimes Dancing" led by Guan Jingpeng, he and the producer were left in Berlin, Shu Qi and Zhang Zhilin went back early on the 13th, and did not attend the closing ceremony.

The crew of "My Father and Mother" is all present, and everyone knows that according to the level of this movie, it will definitely win the award, as for what kind of award it can get, it depends on the vote of the judges.

Zhang Ziyi wore an evening dress with Chinese elements this time, the design similar to the red belly pocket made her expose her white and tender shoulders, and the red silk scarf allowed her to wrap around her upper body, which was similar to the ribbon of the flying fairy in the traditional strokes, showing the noble bright yellow skirt, which set off her very beautifully.

Lao Mouzi is wearing a black round-neck suit dress, which also adopts a design similar to that of a tunic suit, with a row of buttons in front and the bag of the clothes removed, looking energetic, with short round hair, very capable.

Zhou Bai is a blue suit, with a matching bow tie, still using a close-fitting design, plus his clear lines, gentle temperament, and the clothes worn at the opening ceremony have changed a lot.

The closing ceremony is also an award ceremony, and this time those who came to the closing ceremony basically had the opportunity to win the award, some people left early knowing that they didn't want to win the award, and some were officially invited to participate in the closing ceremony.

The awards at the Berlin Film Festival are particularly bizarre, and some of them are even just cheating, such as the "Siegess?ule" Readers' Jury Award, the Blue Angel Award, the Don Quixote Award, the Teddy Award, and many other awards that seem to make people complain, can be said to be varied.

After the chairman's speech and the chairman's speech, the award ceremony officially began, and the award ceremony was actually similar throughout the world, nothing more than some performances interspersed with the awards, or some awards interspersed with performances.

There are many small awards in Berlin, and the competition for the Golden Bear is the biggest highlight, and the twenty films that entered the main competition unit are theoretically nominated, but this time the real competition for this award is "Million Dollar Hotel", "Man on the Moon", "The Genius Ripley", "Magnolia", "My Father and Mother", and "Independent Youth Choir" from Dongying also has a glimmer of hope.

"Director, the award ceremony will start immediately, do you think we can win the award this time?" Zhou Bai asked Lao Mouzi quietly.

Lao Mouzi was particularly calm, and said: "I am still sure of winning the award, I am very satisfied with the effect of "My Father and Mother", but it is difficult to say whether I can win the award, after all, Berlin cares about politics very much, so it is easier to win the award if it is related to politics." The chairman of this film festival said that this time he would pay attention to the family and the generation gap, and it is estimated that they will choose "Magnolia". ”

"It can't be an internal decision, right?" Zhou Bai frowned and said, when the media interviewed before, the chairman of the film festival, Moritz de Hader, told the media that he would pay attention to the family, care about the generation gap and other topics, which was simply tailor-made for "Magnolia".

"That's not it, Berlin is also one of the three major film festivals in Europe, and this will not happen, but everyone will still have it tacitly, provided that the quality of the film is passable. This time, the organizers put a lot of effort into inviting Hollywood, so there will definitely be some tilt. Lao Mouzi shook his head with a smile and said, the haze in his eyes flashed.

Although this time it is Gong Li who is the chairman of the jury, it is difficult to say that the organizers will not affect the awards, although the media has criticized Berlin's compromise with Hollywood, but there is an irrefutable fact that if there are no Hollywood films this time, it will be very deserted.

Half of the films are related to Hollywood, and it is obvious that the influence of Hollywood stars on this film festival can be seen, if there are no such people, to a large extent, this Berlin may be deserted like Siberia, although it cannot be said that it is confused, but this kind of popularity is not what the official wants to see.

With all the guests entering, the ceremony officially began, and the host began to speak warmly, and there were some small jokes from time to time, which made the atmosphere more relaxed.

Berlin is different from the style of the Oscars, the Oscars must have made a joke when they came up, first ridiculing some major events in the entertainment industry, and then pitiful America's eternal backstabbing - the president will also be hacked before it is over.

At least the host of the Berlin Film Festival is restrained and not too entertaining, of course, Zhou Bai is also very skeptical, according to the current host on the field, whether he has the skills to ridicule.

The Silver Bear for short films was won by Czech newspaper Media, while the Golden Bear for short films was won by France's Salute to Evelland, and when the guests announced their awards, the directors were so happy that they almost lost sight.

The Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award was awarded to India's "Secluded House Locks the Heart", listening to the director who received the award with a mouthful of curry-flavored English, Zhou Bai really wanted to laugh, but because there were many shots on the occasion now, he couldn't help it.

The Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award - Special Mention Award is awarded to "Gochoomaligee", it is worth mentioning that in two years, this award will be won by our famous female director in China, Fan Ye's eternal best friend Li Yu with "This Summer", and next year it will be awarded to Vietnam's "Widow's Wharf", well, the name alone is very interesting.

The gold content of these awards is not particularly high, but how to say that they are also the three major film festivals, at least they have more weight than the Houston International Film Festival, because this kind of setting up 10 units, with more than 200 sub-categories, hundreds of films win awards every year, and the film festivals that are not counted in the four categories A, B, C, and D are already a kind of water-injected pork.

The process of awarding the awards gradually became hot over time, and "Million Dollar Hotel", which came to compete for the Golden Bear Award, only won the Special Jury Prize, director Wim Wenders was not much disappointed, but Mel Gibson was visibly disappointed, which almost meant that "Million Dollar Hotel" missed the award.

When the Best Actress award was awarded, a double yolk egg was actually opened, and the two leading actors of "Open the Heart to the Blue Sky" Bibiana Berg and Naga Uhl both won the award, which made Zhou Bai not know how to complain, Nima also likes double yolk eggs abroad, Golden Rooster, I blame you.

What Zhou Bai didn't know was that in a few years, three actresses in Berlin would appear at the same time, and the three actresses in "All the Time" would all win the actresses, and even the golden rooster couldn't do this kind of thing, so Berlin may not be more disciplined than us.

The Best Actor award was awarded to Denzel Washington, who was crowned the best actor, but to be honest, his performance in the movie "Hurricane" was indeed very good, and he also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama, which is well deserved.

Denzel Washington, who won the award, was very excited, even if the Berlin actor was not as good as the Oscars, at least in terms of professionalism was higher than the Golden Globes, this is not a chicken rib, at least not for him, so he was very emotional and excited to say a lot of thanks.

The Best Director Award was awarded to Milos Forman, the director of "The Man on the Moon", which also made Zhang Yimou breathe a sigh of relief, which shows that at least he still has hope for the next two awards, this is a tacit understanding, and he won the best director, and he basically missed the Golden Bear.

When Gong Li took the stage, everyone knew that the last two awards were going to be announced, and now among the films that did not win the award, it was up to them to see who could win the favor of the judges and finally win the highest honor.

"The winner of the Berlin Silver Bear Prize at the 50th Berlin International Film Festival was "The Beach". Gong Li announced the winning film of the Jury Berlin Silver Bear Award, and the audience was silent, and then the applause rang out again, and the crew of "The Beach" celebrated wildly, which was definitely an unexpected joy.

This movie is starred by Leonardo DiCaprio, but Xiao Lizi, who has never missed, almost won the worst actor in the 01 Golden Sour Plum Award for this movie, and as a result, Berlin awarded the Silver Bear Award to "The Beach", which was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

There is only one last award left, and Zhou Bai and the others are already nervous, if they return empty-handed this time, I don't know how to feel, looking at the posture of this award, it is basically Hollywood movies that win important awards, and the golden bear behind is too hanging.

When Danny Ball was very excited to deliver his acceptance speech, and even walked down after the overtime, Zhou Bai's heart became heavier and heavier, if he returned empty-handed this time, the blow to Lao Mouzi can be imagined, the poetic film he wanted to make the most was very little in the end, and this gap was too big.

"Why are you more nervous than me?" Zhang Yimou couldn't help but smile when he saw that Zhou Bai had unconsciously bit his lip.

"Director, aren't you worried that we won't be able to get the Golden Bear, I'm afraid that this time Berlin will face a complete fall in Hollywood. Zhou Bai said with an embarrassed smile.

Zhang Ziyi on the side was already so nervous that she couldn't speak, holding Zhou Bai's hand tightly, and grabbing Zhou Bai's hand a little painfully, but at this time, Zhou Bai didn't care about comforting her, and now she was waiting for the final result.

"The next award is the one with the biggest controversy and the most disagreement among so many of our judges, and it took many rounds of voting to finally decide the ownership of this award. Under tremendous pressure, we finally came to an agreement, and maybe it will cause some controversy, but I believe it will stand the test of history. Gong Li said on the stage.

"The Golden Bear for Best Film at the 50th Berlin International Film Festival was won by Magnolia ......," Gong Li announced on stage.

"And 'My Father and Mother'!"

The Berlin plot is officially over, I know everyone feels a little delayed, and the next thing is "Fifty Times of First Love" and the graduation plot, if you want to make any movie, please leave me a message in the comment area!
