Chapter 197: I'll Hold Your Lungs
The thunderous applause rippled like a tidal wave, literally lifting the roof of the theater. Especially the audience, almost all of them stood up and greeted Feng Yuanyi with applause.
The crew of "Bloody Notes" fell silent, and Zhang Zhiliang felt like he had been slapped in the face, and his face became very ugly. What the is going on, they won an award! How is this possible?
Although Feng Yuanyi hoped to win the award, he knew that he had little hope of winning the award. At this moment, when he suddenly heard his name, he couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Zhang Ran as if asking, meaning that it was really me, did you hear it right?
Zhang Ran smiled and opened his hands and gave him a hug: "That's right, it's you! It seems that we all underestimate the judges, they are all artists, and they must have their own opinions on a work, how can they easily be swayed by others' own concepts! We are expected to win this award, you listen to this applause!"
Zhang Jingchu and Jay Chou also came over to hug Feng Yuanyi, Feng Yuanyi was very good and taught them a lot in performance. Now that Feng Yuanyi has won the award, they are all happy for him: "Brother Yuanyi, you have won the award, congratulations!"
After hugging Zhang Ran, Feng Yuan tidied up his clothes and walked to the podium with a knowing smile.
Feng Yuanyi received the Best Actor trophy from Jennifer Jason Lee, countless past events came to mind, and he said with emotion: "To be able to win this award, I want to thank many people, thank Director Zhang Ran, thank Jing Chu, thank Jie Lun, and thank all the staff of the crew of "Burst Drummer". But I would like to thank my teacher, Ms. Mersin!
More than 10 years ago. I learned the Grotowski method in Germany and she took care of me like a mother. But in Germany I couldn't play the role I wanted to play, and I was very confused. She didn't think it was a problem at all. Think I can teach, be a teacher. But I still want to be an actor. Finally, one day, I told Mersin that I had decided to return to China to become an actor. She was very angry and said, "Let's go, let's go!" After I returned home, I wrote her several letters, but she didn't reply to anything. I know she's mad at me. I didn't have the courage to meet her either. Even though this is Tokyo and she is far away in Berlin, I still want to tell her. Mom, I love you!"
This affectionate speech touched many people present, and some of them had moist eyes. Almost everyone stood up and clapped harder. It was as if there was a tsunami in the entire hall.
Feng Yuan returned to his seat with the trophy in his hand like a triumphant hero. The whole person seems to be in high spirits. For so many years, he has always wanted a chance to prove himself, and he can say to his teacher, I still want to be an actor, and my choice is right. Now he's qualified to say that!
Zhang Jingchu took the trophy from Feng Yuanyi's hand, looked at it, and then shook it proudly at Zhang Zhiliang and them, we won the award. Your intrigues don't work!
The faces of the crew members of "Bloody Notes" were very ugly, and "Burst Drummer" missed the Audience Choice Award. They gloated one by one, and now their faces were hot, as if they had been slapped in the face. Zhang Zhiliang raised his head and looked at Zhang Jingchu coldly, his gloomy face was so black that he was about to drip water, and his eyes were blood-red. Don't rejoice too soon, we'll see, when you cry!
The ceremony continued, followed by Japanese director Yuji Nakae winning the Best Director Award for "Okinawa Little Hibiscus" and the Israeli film "Folding Wings" winning the Grand Jury Prize.
Now there is one last award left, Best Picture, the Golden Kirin Award!
At this time, the president of the jury, Luc Besson, who was the presenter of the best film, walked onto the stage with an envelope in his hand.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense, and almost everyone's heartbeat accelerated.
The most nervous is undoubtedly the crew of "City of God", they are the most popular crew, but so far they have only won one audience choice award, and they don't want to miss out on the last award, and of course the biggest award.
Some other crews with good reviews are also secretly encouraging, and media evaluations do not affect the judges' judgments, and many films with good media reviews are not treated well by the judges, so various film festivals are often dark horses, which naturally makes them hold on to hope.
Zhang Ran is the most relaxed, it is already a miracle to win the Best Actor Award, and the possibility of winning another award is almost none. It's not that he hasn't won the Best Picture Award, and it's nothing if he can't win it this time, Zhang Ran believes that he will win many Best Film Awards in the future.
Jay Chou didn't think much about it, the crew had already won the award, and he was very satisfied. Although it is a pity that "The Bursting Drummer" had to withdraw from the Golden Horse Awards, can the Golden Horse Awards be compared to the Tokyo Film Festival? This is an international film festival, a world stage. The first film starring him appeared on the international stage and won an award, what a lucky thing!
Although Feng Yuanyi was also looking at the stage, his heart had already flown to other places. He remembered the sadness of studying in Berlin, the care of his teachers, and the efforts he had made over the years.
Zhang Jingchu looked at Luc Besson on the stage, and then looked at Zhang Ran, she knew that Zhang Ran participated in the film festival for Luc Besson, and in the case of Zhang Zhiliang and their bad intentions, if they can win this award, it means that "Burst Drummer" has been recognized by Luc Besson. Therefore, she is full of anticipation for this award.
Hopefully we can win this award!
Zhang Jingchu clasped her hands together and prayed silently.
Almost all eyes were on Luc Besson, waiting for him to announce the final result.
At this moment, Luc Besson finally opened the envelope, swept his eyes, leaned in front of the microphone, and announced loudly: "The best film won at the 15th Tokyo Film Festival is the Chinese film "Burst Drummer"!"
Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard "Bursting Drummer", and glanced at Feng Yuanyi in disbelief, not wanting Feng Yuanyi to be at a loss. He looked around again, and the rest of the crew around him stood up, looked at him, smiled and clapped at himself.
Winner!Best Picture!There are really miracles in the world of cinema!
Suddenly, Zhang Ran only felt that he was stirred by a burst of electricity from head to toe. The whole person couldn't help but tremble. A strong sense of happiness burst through his heart, and he raised his hands and stood up violently, waving twice vigorously. If not at the award ceremony. He almost shouted.
"Zhang Ran, we won the award, we won the award!" Zhang Jingchu shouted, and threw herself directly into Zhang Ran's arms, tears flowing down uncontrollably. This movie, this award is really not easy to come by!
"Haha, in front of absolute strength. Intrigue is useless!" Feng Yuan stood up, gave Zhang Ran a hug, and laughed.
"Director. You're so hanging!Golden unicorn award, I never dreamed!" Jay Chou hugged Zhang Ran and clapped vigorously.
"I'll give you a lung!" Zhang Zhiliang looked at Zhang Ran, who was celebrating, and felt as if he had been beaten with a stick. Extremely depressed. This kid even won Best Picture!
There are only five judges, among whom Li Zhiyi stood on his side and said bad things about "Bursting Drummer", in this case, it is impossible to win the award. Unexpectedly, "Burst Drummer" not only won the award, but also won two awards, including the Best Film Award. It was so unexpected!
Zhang Zhiliang felt that his breath was holding in his chest, and he couldn't go up and down. It makes people's hearts feel very uncomfortable. He gasped for breath several times before he calmed down. It's uncomfortable. He can't wait to get out of this place right away!
The rest of the crew was applauding, even the people from the City of God crew. The applause of the audience in the hall was even more enthusiastic, everyone has seen "The Burst Drummer" and they love this movie!
After a short celebration, Zhang Ran greeted warm applause and walked onto the podium of the Tokyo Film Festival with full excitement in his heart.
Looking at the young Zhang Ran, Luc Besson remembered his former self. At the age of 23, he made his first movie "The Final Battle" with his enthusiasm and became famous in one fell swoop. He smiled and hugged Zhang Ran and said, "Your movie is very good, I like it very much!"
"Thank you, Mr. Luc Besson!" Zhang Ran smiled happily. For him, Luc Besson's words are much more important than the Golden Kirin Award. "Burst Drummer" was his stepping stone, and now he really has a chance to knock on the door.
Taking the trophy from Luc Besson's hand, the cold touch came into the palm of his hand, Zhang Ran's heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction, and he stood in front of the microphone, his heart surging.
Zhang Ran didn't prepare an acceptance speech, but it was really a problem for the acting teacher, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, everyone was saying that the judges didn't like our movie, but I didn't expect this result, it's like a dream." I would like to thank many people here, and I will not pronounce the specific names. Thank you to all the cast and crew of the crew, without your efforts, this film would not have been possible, this honor belongs to all of us!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused, looked at Zhang Zhiliang in the audience, and said with a smile: "Of course, I want to thank Director Zhang Zhiliang in particular." Although I haven't been working with him for a long time, I have learned a lot from him. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang Zhiliang, "Burst Drummer" would not be the effect it is today, and I would not have won the Golden Kirin Award, thank you!"
After speaking, Zhang Ran didn't talk nonsense, walked off the stage directly, and walked towards his seat.
This trip to Tokyo was really turbulent. Zhang Zhiliang and the others kept stirring up trouble, which had long exceeded the bottom line of Zhang Ran's tolerance. He is a young man and has the temper of a young man. Since you dare to punch me, then I will definitely slap you in the face if you have the chance! What's more, he has already regarded Zhang Zhiliang and them as undying enemies, and they are enemies, and he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to fight back!
Zhang Zhiliang's face was so angry that he looked at Zhang Ran holding the Golden Qilin Trophy, and walked towards this side proudly in the spring breeze, feeling that his breath was rushing straight to his head, and he said "I'll top your lungs" and his eyes went dark and he collapsed on the chair.
"That's right, I really should thank them!" Jay Chou said unabashedly. What he said was true, if it weren't for Zhang Zhiliang and them, this drama would not have been his turn to act. Of course, he won't thank Zhang Zhiliang and them, with his performance in "Bursting Drummer", he has the hope of winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, and now it's all in vain.
"What a beautiful trophy, but it's a pity that it's not pure gold!" Before Zhang Ran sat down, Zhang Jingchu couldn't wait to grab the trophy and look at it over and over again in her hand.
Zhang Jingchu played with it and was about to snort Zhang Zhiliang and them. Someone in the crew of "Bloody Notes" exclaimed: "Director, director, what's wrong with you? Come on, call the doctor!"
Zhang Ran looked at the unconscious Zhang Zhiliang and was a little surprised, thinking to himself, it can't be stimulated by our award, right? This psychological recognition is too bad, right? If I learn from Kong Ming and scold Wang Lang, wouldn't it be a human life?
The people of the organizing committee called an ambulance, and everyone carried Zhang Zhiliang into the ambulance. In the midst of the noise, the 15th Tokyo Film Festival came to an end. (To be continued.) )
