Chapter 804: Applause and Boos

The applause and cheers at the scene were thunderous, and most of the audience and guests at the scene had watched "One Man Puts on the Lights", Zhang Jingchu's performance in the movie is obvious to all, and winning this award can be said to be expected. Her biggest competitor, Japanese actor Shinobu Terashima, was not there at all, knowing that her chances of winning the award were slim, and the opponent was too strong.

The authoritative British media "Sight and Hearing" commented on Zhang Jingchu's performance: "In the movie, Zhang Jingchu successfully played a deaf and mute barber, and through the portrayal of eyes and body language, Zhang Jingchu's subtle and suggestive acting talent was fully demonstrated, which strengthened the ideological depth of the film." Zhang Jingchu's performance in "One Person's Lights" is not inferior even to Holly's performance in "The Piano Lesson". ”

Holly Hunter's role as the mute girl Ida in "The Piano Lesson" is a classic in film history, and she won the Cannes Film Festival actress in '93 and the Oscar actress in '94 for this role. The Oscars have been more than eighty years now, and it would be an exaggeration to say that Holly Hunter's performance in "The Piano Lesson" was the best among the Oscars, but if this performance can be ranked in the top five, there is absolutely no problem at all.

"Seeing and Hearing" compared Zhang Jingchu's performance to that of Holly Hunter, which is undoubtedly a huge praise, however, after "Seeing and Hearing" threw out this argument, not only was no one questioned, but it was supported by many film critics.

In fact, Zhang Jingchu's performance is highly respected, in addition to the difficulty of the performance and the extremely good completion, it is very important that everyone knows that she insisted on not speaking for half a year in order to enter the play, and was hospitalized because she was too deep in the play, and was moved by her professionalism. Zhang Ran said this at the press conference in the hope of taking advantage of this to add a weight to Zhang Jingchu's struggle for the actress crown, and now it seems that the effect is very good.

The moment Zhang Jingchu heard Jose Marlos read out her name, her heart was like a galloping horse, and her excitement was indescribable, but it was not the first time she participated in the award ceremony, although she was extremely excited, she maintained her demeanor very well, smiled and got up and hugged Zhang Ran: "I won the award!"

Zhang Ran hugged Zhang Jingchu and patted her on the back: "This is what you deserve, congratulations!"

Hu Jun and Feng Yuanzheng have known Zhang Jingchu for eight years, and in their eyes, Zhang Jingchu is like their little sister, they watched Zhang Jingchu continue to move forward, gradually changing from an immature actor to an acting school, and finally reborn in "One Person's Lights". After seeing Zhang Jingchu win the Berlin Film Festival, they were sincerely happy for her.

Li Xuejian and other members of the crew also applauded and sent blessings to her: "Jingchu, congratulations!" and "This performance is really good, and this award is well deserved!"

Zhang Jingchu took everyone's blessings and an excited smile on her face and stepped onto the podium. She was so excited that she didn't calm down until she received the trophy from Jose Marlos. Standing in front of the podium, she took a deep breath and said, "Thank you to the jury for awarding this award to me, and thank you to all the audience who supported this film." I was really excited, a little incoherent. Over the years, I have participated in many film festivals with Zhang Ran, and this year I finally realized my dream! I want to thank my parents for their support to me, thank you Teacher Li Xuejian for helping me, and thank all the staff of the crew, without you there would be no movie. I will continue to work hard, thank you!"

Zhang Jingchu didn't thank Zhang Ran, but after finishing her acceptance speech, she looked at Zhang Ran in the audience and said affectionately: "Finally, I want to say to Zhang Ran, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life, I love you!"

The audience burst into applause and cheers.

Coming down from the stage with the Silver Bear Trophy, Zhang Jingchu looked at Zhang Ran and asked: "I won the Best Actress, is the possibility of us winning the Golden Bear Award smaller? Now that the rules of the film festival seem to have changed, if you win the highest award, you can't win other awards." ”

Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "Cannes has launched this policy, but Berlin and Venice do not have this regulation for the time being. ”

Zhang Jingchu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, although I really want the actress, I want the Golden Bear even more." ”

Zhang Ran was about to speak, only to hear Renee Zellweger on stage announce: "The winners of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor are Grigory Dobiazin and Sug Pusko Paris, from the movie "How to End This Summer"!"

The Berlin Film Festival is the most undisciplined of the three major films, often laying double yellow or even more yellow eggs, and this time it is very undisciplined to lay a double yellow egg!

Zhang Ran, like the rest of the audience, applauded the winners, but while applauding, he also felt sorry for Li Xuejian. Li Xuejian's outstanding performance in "One Man Puts on the Lights" has won praise from many domestic and foreign media, and is considered to be a big hit among actors. However, the awards of the film festival have always been pork, and different awards will be awarded to different films as much as possible

The award ceremony continued, and the presenters on the stage announced loudly: "The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director is Polanski, from the movie "Shadow Writer"!"

Roman Polanski has already made a name for himself, and for a master like him, film festivals rarely award awards to them, often to younger directors. However, Polanski was recently arrested by the Swiss government and placed under house arrest and denied the festival, and the Berlin Film Festival has always liked to talk about politics, so it is not surprising that Polanski will be awarded an award in support.

"The winner of the Alfred Bauer Award is Whistle!"

"The winner of the CamΓ©ra d'Or was "Brother"!"

"Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented below, Hannah Chigura and Wolfgang Kolhaus!"

The awards were presented one after another, and the award ceremony gradually came to an end.

Now there are only the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Picture Award, both of which are awarded to films, and the two contenders include "How I Spent the Summer", "On the Road", and "Alone in the Lights".

The guest of honor for the Grand Jury Award was Italian female director Francesca Comancini, who unfolded the letter in her hand and read slowly: "This film is very creative, the combination of sound and space of the film is very good, especially the display of off-screen space is shocking, and the director's exploration of the relationship between time and space allows us to see more possibilities for film." She paused, looked at the letter in her hand again, confirmed the final result, and announced loudly: "The winner of the Grand Jury Award is "One Man Puts on a Lantern"!"

Ahh

There was an exclamation at the scene, and this result was really unexpected by everyone. "One Person's Lights" won the jury award, which means that it will not have a chance to win the Golden Bear Award. The audience and the media fully accepted the result: "Oh my God, why is this happening?

"What are you kidding, this is too nonsense!"

"The jury is crazy, isn't it? "One Man Puts on the Lights" only won the Grand Jury Prize. ”

Zhang Ran shook his head lightly when he heard that "One Man Puts on the Lights" won the jury award. "One Person's Lights" is obviously higher than other films, but it didn't win the top award, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he didn't take the award too seriously, and the little unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared.

This result also disappointed Zhang Jingchu, she stood up and hugged Zhang Ran hard, patted him on the back and said: "You are the best, "Alone is the best!"

Hu Jun and Feng Yuanzheng were also a little disappointed, the comprehensive strength of "One Person's Lights" was obviously higher than other movies, but they missed the Golden Bear Award! However, they didn't say words of comfort, they just patted Zhang Ran's shoulder vigorously to show encouragement and support.

Some audience members stood up and applauded vigorously, first a few spectators, then a group of spectators, and finally almost all the spectators on the scene stood up and pumped their hands vigorously. The applause rang out like a howling tide, drowning the entire movie palace.

In the tide of applause, Zhang Ran walked on the stage, took the silver bear trophy, waved his hand to the audience, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the jury, thank you for awarding this award to me; thank you to all the members of the crew, without your efforts, there would be no movie; thank you to all the fans who support the movie, thank you to all the audiences who like and dislike this movie, thank you!" After speaking, he raised the silver bear in his hand and walked off the stage.

The wave of applause spread again, overwhelming, and the entire movie palace trembled in the applause.

Herzog, the president of the festival's jury, took center stage to present the Golden Bear. He opened the envelope in his hand, took out the stationery, and read slowly: "The movie is a kind of nature that returns to the basics, but it just wants to reflect the life of that area and the story of people getting along with nature in such an isolated and inaccessible place through the life of the beekeeper's family, and the film "Honey" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture!"

Now there was a sparse applause, and then the boos rose to the sky, and they became louder and louder, until finally they became more than 1,000 spectators and reporters who were present to boo, and the boos shook the sky for a while!

It is not strange to have boos at the awards ceremony of the film festival, once the award is too different from the cognitive judgment of the media and the audience, there will be boos at the award ceremony, but it is the first time in history that "Honey" has been booed by more than 1,000 viewers in the audience!

Now the media and the audience are booing their attitude, your jury has the right to decide the award, and we have the right to show our preference with applause and boos!

The faces of the seven judges on the stage were pale, among which Herzog, the chairman of the jury, had the most ugly face, because he insisted on awarding the Golden Bear Award to "Honey", and these boos on the scene were undoubtedly aimed at him, and they were simply slapping him in the face.

"Honey" director Sami Capranoglu's face is completely bloodless, frighteningly white, he has been working as a director for many years, he has received applause and cheers in the past, he never thought he would be booed, he has never experienced such a terrible scene. It's just that as a winner, he can't go on stage, so he can only bite the bullet and walk onto the stage in the face of the boos in the sky, and receive the Golden Bear trophy from Herzog.

When Sammy stood in front of the microphone with the Golden Bear Trophy and began to deliver his acceptance speech, the boos reached the extreme, which can be said to be earth-shattering!

The boos enveloped Sammy and made him feel so humiliated that he felt a hint of hatred for the jury, why he gave this award to himself, why he allowed himself to accept such humiliation. He knew that by tomorrow the world's media would cover the scene, and the whole world would take it as a joke.

Saimi's mind went blank, his voice trembled, and he said a few incoherent acceptance speeches before escaping from the hellish stage.

Hundreds of reporters in the audience mentally gave their press releases almost the same headline: "Berlinale ends with boos!"
