Chapter 806 Obtaining Certificates

This year's Berlin Film Festival was a big upset, and the missed Golden Bear Award for "One Person's Lights" caused the media to question it, and even the judges' meeting after the awards ceremony opened with a boo from reporters. -- Peiping Daily

When the jury announced that "One Man Lights Up" won the Jury Award, the audience first booed the jury for not choosing "One Man Lights Up the Lights" as the Golden Bear Award, and then accompanied Zhang Ran to the stage, and the audience continued to applaud for five minutes. -- West China Metropolis Daily

When "One Man Puts on the Lights" was released in China, many media gave bad reviews. But after the Berlin Film Festival award results came out, except for "Xinjing Daily", which has a grudge against Zhang Ran, most of the media sided with Zhang Ran and lashed out at the film festival jury.

After netizens knew that the global media were optimistic about "One Person's Lights", but because the jury lost to the mediocre "Honey", the entire network simply exploded.

"The jury is a bunch of self-righteous fools, and the whole world applauds "One Man Puts on the Lights", and they just have to do it against each other, so that they can appear to be forced!"

"The movie "Honey" is co-produced by Germany and Turkey, and the chairman of the jury is German, so this result is really not surprising at all, but it's a pity that "One Man Puts on the Lights", such a good movie didn't win the Golden Bear!"

"Only the kind of film that reflects China's poverty and backwardness can win the award, "One Man Puts on the Lights" was filmed in a mountain city, full of high-rise buildings, so modern, how can it win the award!"

At the press conference at the closing of the film festival, Yu Nan and the jury were criticized and questioned by the media, and some media even questioned her giving up her support for "One Man Puts on the Lights" in order to praise her ex-boyfriend. Yu Nan is very aggrieved, she did vote for "Reunion", but at the same time, she has always firmly supported "One Man Puts on the Lights", as a Chinese actor, she definitely hopes that Chinese films can win international awards.

It's just that at the press conference, many insiders Yu Nan couldn't reveal, and when she was interviewed by the media after returning to China, she had no scruples and told the inside story of the selection.

The Berlinale jury consisted of seven people, including Herzog and Nuruddin Farrah, who liked the rustic and natural style of Honey, while Yu Nan and Renee Zellweger were strong supporters of One Man, and the other three jurors, Francesca Comancini, José Marlos and Flobois, were more vacillating.

The jury argued for a long time and could not reach an agreement, and finally Herzog said that Zhang Ran was a billionaire with his own film company and theater chain, and whether or not he had the Golden Bear Award would have little impact on him. Sammy Caprano Glou is different, he is an independent filmmaker, it is very difficult for a filmmaker like him to survive, if the Golden Bear Award is awarded to him, and more audiences know him, more companies will buy film rights, then his fate will change.

After Herzog threw out this argument, Francesca Comancini, José Marlos and Flobois immediately changed their stance and switched to supporting Honey. Yu Nan and Renee Zellweger disagree with this point of view, since it is a film selection, it should focus on the film itself, and it should be awarded to the best film, and should not consider factors other than the film, if whoever is miserable wins the award, then the selection of the film festival is meaningless. It's a pity that Yu Nan and the others failed to convince the other members of the jury, and in the final vote, "One Man Puts on the Lights" lost to "Honey" 2:5.

After failing to win the Golden Bear Award for "One Person's Lights", Yu Nan and the others proposed that since the Golden Bear gave "Honey", then "One Person's Lights" should win the Best Actor and Queen in addition to the jury award. At the Cannes Film Festival in 02, "The Piano Teacher" did not win the Palme d'Or, so the jury award and the best actor were given to "The Piano Teacher". Herzog thought that three awards were too many and that others should be given some chances, and agreed to give only two awards, either the Grand Jury Award plus Best Actor, or the Grand Jury Award plus Actress, and despite some heated debate, "One Man Shines the Light" won the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Actress.

Zhang Jingchu watched Yu Nan's interview and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that there will be so many twists and turns in this film festival selection, if it weren't for Yu Nan's support, my actress might have failed." ”

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "So, there is no need to take the award too seriously, it is not the award that determines the value of a work, not to mention the old movies of the last century, let's just say that the works in the past ten years of the new century, the films with the highest status in film history, "In the Mood for Love", "Mulholland Drive", "Yiyi", and "Blood is Coming" in 07, did not win the highest award at the film festival. In fact, it is sometimes a good thing not to win the top award, assuming that "The Shawshank Redemption" won the Oscar that year, and "Forrest Gump" did not receive anything, then will the evaluations of "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" be reversed?

Zhang Jingchu thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the truth: ""Shawshank" is a very good work, but now that people are evaluating it so highly, I think there is a little compensation factor in it. ”

Zhang Ran said: "The same is true of "One Person's Lights", otherwise there would not be so many media to support us. ”

Sitting next to Zhang Ran, Huang Ying saw that Zhang Ran and them had a rare trip back, but they were still discussing the movie, so she said: "You can't just think about work all day long, you should also think about your own business!"

Zhang Ran grabbed Zhang Jingchu's hand and smiled at his mother: "When we go back to Beiping this time, Jingchu and I are ready to get the certificate." ”

When Huang Ying heard this, she was taken aback and asked, "Why is it so sudden?" After blurting out these words, she realized that what she said was wrong, she had been looking forward to them getting married for a long time, and she had urged them for I don't know how many times, so she hurriedly said: "I mean you have all been good for so many years, and it is long overdue to settle the matter." ”

Zhang Zhimin also nodded again and again: "Yes, you are all not too old, and it is long overdue to settle the matter." ”

Huang Ying glanced at Zhang Guoquan and said in a complaining tone: "Every time your father goes to the community and sees other old men and old ladies walking in the yard with their grandchildren, he is very envious. ”

Zhang Zhimin glared at Huang Ying, obviously you want to hold your grandson, why did it come to me, he looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "When are you going to hold a wedding?"

Zhang Ran patted Zhang Jingchu's hand and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, there are more things this year, and I also hope to make the wedding more formal, it will take time to prepare, so we plan to do it again next year." After that, I also plan to take a break for a while, give myself half a year off, and have a good rest for a while. ”

After staying at home for three days, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu made a plane and came to Zhang Jingchu's house in Yongan. Zhang Jingchu's hukou is in her hometown, and she needs a hukou book to get a certificate, and she must tell Zhang Jingchu's family about such a big thing as marriage.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu have a good relationship, and Zhang Ran is not the kind of person who spends flowers everywhere, but Zhang Jingchu's mother is still a little worried. Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have been together for so many years, and finally broke up; Wang Quanan and Yu Nan have been good for ten years, and finally broke up, who can guarantee that Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu can go on forever, and now Zhang Ran has decided to marry Zhang Jingchu, which makes Zhang's mother feel a lot more at ease.

After staying at Zhang Jingchu's house for two days, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu returned to Beiping. The two of them are going to be busy with their own movies next, and the time is very tight, so the matter of obtaining the certificate naturally cannot be delayed. Early the next morning, the two came to the marriage registration office of the Haidian Civil Affairs Bureau on the South Road of the Academy of Sciences. They didn't choose a special day like 520, and it wasn't a weekend, so there weren't many people who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their certificates.

It was a woman in her thirties who went through the registration, and although Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu were wearing sunglasses, she still recognized them at a glance, and said excitedly: "Zhang Ran! Jingchu, you are getting married!"

"Yes, we're getting married!" Zhang Ran is here to go through the marriage formalities, so naturally it is impossible to lie to the staff, it is possible to hide this matter from anyone, but it is impossible to hide it from the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He quickly took out a packet of candy and handed it over, and then handed over the documents of the two people.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jing came to get the certificate for the first time, and naturally figured out the whole process, and the information and certificates that need to be brought when they come are also brought, there is no problem, the staff checked it, and gave the two of them two registration forms, and said with a smile: "Fill in these two forms, I wish you a long old age and a noble son as soon as possible." ”

After filling out the form, the staff asked Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu if they needed to take an oath of service. Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu had never been married, so they thought they were filling out the form and taking pictures, stamping the seal, and it was over after receiving the certificate, but they didn't expect to take an oath. Zhang Ran didn't care about this, he always believed that doing was more important than talking, but he didn't know what Zhang Jingchu thought, so he asked: "Jingchu, should we take an oath?"

Zhang Jingchu was a little surprised, she also knew for the first time that she could take an oath when she got a marriage certificate, and said expectantly: "This is a real marriage in the legal sense, which is more important than a wedding, it is responsible for two people at the legal level, and you must take an oath if you can take it." ”

Under the leadership of the staff, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came to the hall on the third floor of the marriage registry office to receive the oath service. The certificate presenter was a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young girl, who was stupid when she saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, and never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to witness the marriage of her idol and be able to read the wedding words to them. She stammered and told Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu that there are four types of oaths, some versions are read by the certificate issuer, and some versions are read by herself, depending on which version you choose. After reading the content of the four versions, Zhang Jingchu finally chose the fourth one.

Under the arrangement of the certificate issuer, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came to the oath-taking platform and stood up. The oath-taking platform is more than half a person high, with flowers on it and the national flag and national emblem arranged behind it, giving people a solemn and sacred feeling.

The certificate presenter looked at Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, and said solemnly: "I am Wang Xue, the certificate issuer of the Haiding Civil Affairs Bureau, and I am extremely happy to be able to issue marriage certificates to the two newlyweds here today, so please put your right hand on your chest." ”

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu both put their right hands on their chests, Zhang Ran looked very calm, and Zhang Jingchu's face flushed with excitement.

The certificate presenter looked at the two of them and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Mr. Zhang Ran, Miss Zhang Jingchu, today is a sacred day, please solemnly answer my question: Are you getting married voluntarily?"

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu said in unison: "It's a voluntary marriage!"

The certificate presenter smiled and said, "Please face the solemn national flag and national emblem and read the "Wedding Vow" together. ”

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu took the "Marriage Vow" and began to read: "We voluntarily become husband and wife, and from today onwards, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations entrusted to us by marriage: filial piety to parents, teaching children, mutual respect and love, mutual trust and encouragement, mutual understanding and mutual concession, mutual affection, and love for life! In the future, no matter in good times or bad, whether rich or poor, whether healthy or sick, whether young or old, we will all be in the same boat through thick and thin, share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and become lifelong partners! We will keep today's oath, and we will definitely be able to keep today's oath!"
