February 21, closing ceremony.

There are three Chinese films coming to Berlin this time, two on Hong Kong Island and one on the mainland. Although "Heavenly Bath" was shortlisted for the competition nomination of the highest general Golden Bear, it waited for a few days and did not receive the message of retention, and the director and his entourage have left. Only "The Happier the More Depraved" and "Xiao Wu" remained.

Maybe it's because of the bargaining chip to be retained, Lao Jia and Li Jieming have become high-spirited again in the past few days, at least the filmmakers they meet now won't even have the possibility of talking, whether it's a euphemistic refusal or a wait for the results to come out and see again, in short, it's an attitude, leaving people with a lot of hope.

The two of them went out early and returned late all day, and they didn't stop until today.

I went out of the room in the morning, and there was such a gathering in the hallway. Several people all changed into prepared suits, and they also looked like dogs, but Di Yun was still in his original outfit.

"I'll wipe it, so you all have clothes?"

"Not really."

"Why didn't you wear it at the opening?" Di Yun asked.

"The opening is nothing, today is the point, of course you have to dress neatly." Gu Zheng said.

Originally, he wore the most high-end clothes, but now if he enters the award hall of the movie palace, it will definitely become the most inappropriate.

But Di Yun is not depressed, who has a good daughter-in-law who is thoughtful?

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and change my clothes." After finishing speaking, he returned to the room, and soon changed into formal clothes and came out, and compared the five people at once.

Sometimes it depends on who wears the clothes, so let's take the same formal wear. Ya is a natural clothes rack, and after wearing it, it looks more upright. Standing there is like a small aspen. More and more visible. Five other people. Li Jieming and Yu Liwei are still in the normal range, and the comparison of the remaining three people feels that the clothes are ruined, and they all have a rustic atmosphere.

Standing together, skillfully slapping and slapping in the face.

"It's really stressful to walk with you." Gu Zheng smashed his mouth twice and said.

"Hahaha... Prizes have been awarded. Ya also shamelessly modest.

The official said that there are more than 10,000 professionals, and the number of non-professionals is countless, probably today, the entire Potsdamer Platz is full of people, and countless long guns and short cannons have been erected in front of the Cinema Palace.

On the way, Cai Lin, the girl, waited, and when she saw him in her mouth, she couldn't stop smacking.

"What's wrong?" Di Yun asked.

Cai Lin took a light breath and said, "What's the matter, you stand still." I'll take a few shots. ”

"Hey! What you say in this tongue... It's so flavorful. ”

"Don't move, don't move, pose, I'm taking pictures!"

"Okay." Di Yun is too experienced in taking pictures, holding his chest with one hand and supporting his chin lightly with the other is a poss.

As a result, not only Cai Lin was shooting alone, but a man with a camera next to him was also shooting.

Di Yun quickly stood up, no longer playing cool, and looked over seriously.

"Hello." The man stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Yu Hao, a reporter from China's ** Metropolis Daily, are you participating in the closing?" ”

"Huh?" Di Yun was a little puzzled, and shook his hand lightly.

"I heard you just spoke Chinese. Are you a mainland actor or a Hong Kong Island actor. ”

"Continental."

The man's eyes lit up: "Then what is your movie called?" ”

"Regarding the movie, it's better for you to ask the director." Di Yun didn't want to cope. pushed Lao Jia out.

………

The awards ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is very simple, like tearing your clothes and doing it directly, without any foreplay and lubrication at all, which is so direct that people are a little uncomfortable.

The chairman of the jury, Ben? After Kingsley's brief speech, the host went straight to the announcement of the winners.

A slip of English, perhaps mixed with German, Di Yun can occasionally grasp a word, such as and, of, to, etc., and the meaning is completely incomprehensible.

Fortunately, there is a beautiful translator who is proficient in Chinese, Korean, English, French, and German five Chinese, so there is no problem of not understanding.

"What do you mean, what do you mean?" Hurriedly asked.

"Film Guild Award of the German Academy of Arts, "Traces of Time."

"Oh." Di Yun nodded.

A gringo went up to receive the award, the host continued to the next one, and Cai Lin continued to translate.

"Caligari Award, 'The Town'."

"Don Quixote Award, "Fang Ling Thirteen."

……

It wasn't until another translation that Cai Lin paused, with some magical colors on his face: "The first prize of the forum unit, Wolfgang?" Stotle Prize, Xiao Wu. ”

"Oh." Di Yun paused before he reacted, "What? Xiao Wu? ”

He turned his head, and several people around him who had listened to Benjamin Lee's translation had already hugged each other and cheered, and only then did he realize that his heart was filled with excitement, and he also joined in the cheers of several people.

It wasn't until the host on the stage called again that Lao Jia stood up, straightened his clothes with slightly trembling hands, and walked onto the stage.

After reading the lines, thanking Lala, and before he could celebrate with the trophy, the eyes of the entire hall were all focused on it, because the host announced another award.

This time, even the most stable Li Jieming was a little excited and couldn't help himself, and said to Lao Jia: "Hurry up, it's another one!" ”

"What award?" Lao Jia probably didn't listen to the host's words just now.

"Asian Film Agency Awards!" Li Jieming said, "You don't care what the award is, go up and take down the trophy first." ”

So Lao Jia's mind went on the stage again in a chaotic way.

As for what kind of movie "Xiao Wu" is, it is estimated that not many people in the hall know it, but winning two awards in a row with such a dark horse attitude, no matter whether this award is big or small, it is also enviable.

Several people took turns playing with the trophies, venting their excitement, gradually quieting down, and continuing to focus on the award ceremony.

In the end, "The Happier the More Fallen" won an Alfred Award, also known as the Dare to Fight Award, and an award for the best story, and it won a lot.

The special jury prize went to "Wagging Tail", and the tallest golden bear went to "Grand Central Station".

The three most anticipated individual awards are undoubtedly Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Best Director was won by Neil Butcher Boy? Jordan won. Best Actress and Best Actor are Fairland? Montenaco and Samuel? Jackson.

Di Yun happened to watch the movie "Grand Central Station" a few days ago and knew that this woman was the heroine in this movie. But I haven't seen "Dangerous Liaisons", as for this Samuel? Jackson is the one I don't know.

Of course, if this bald black man wore a one-eyepatch, he would definitely suddenly say: Oh, it turned out to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

The joy of winning the award, the loss of not winning the award, but whether it is won or not, this Berlin Film Festival is over.

When a group of people walked out of the movie palace, the media watching outside immediately boiled, this time different from the cold reception on the opening day, Di Yun and the others were also surrounded by several reporters.

He took the opportunity to slip away, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, and it is completely left to Lao Jia and them to deal with.

The next day, a number of local media reported on "Xiao Wu", and the evaluation was not high:

In this turbulent and undulating adjustment, people feel the aesthetic trajectory of the film's hidden march......

Even Germany's "Die Zeit" gave such a long comment:

The camera's saving is to be forgotten, and it is forgotten to be better saved in order to save zài. The feeling of vitality that makes "Xiao Wu" come from the inner movement recorded in every shot. This is neither the hoax of cinema (a reality without a camera) nor the disillusionment of cinema (a machine that merely records reality), but a two-way movement that connects the viewer to an irreducible double confirmation (i.e., an acknowledgement of life and cinema......

At the same time, Hong Kong Island was also very noisy, and while hyping up "The Happier the More Depraved" that returned with the double awards, it also promoted "Xiao Wu", which also won two awards.

However, there is no relevant news in China, which is a deformed phenomenon but seems to be a natural phenomenon.

The next group of people got busy again, busy with the promotion and sale of the movie, but Di Yun was ready to return to China.

He first said goodbye to Chan Kwok, who was about to return to Hong Kong, and discussed going to the Hong Kong Island Film Awards together in mid-April.

Then he went to say goodbye to Cai Lin.

"Ready to go home?" Cai Lin asked.

"Well, when are you going to go?"

"Tomorrow."

"Heh, I'm tomorrow too." Di Yun laughed.

"It's a pity that it's not the same way."

As for what is a pity, Di Yun did not delve into it, and he did not dare to delve into it.

The goodbye between the two is very simple, there is no lingering sympathy or anything like that, just have a meal, you say goodbye, I say goodbye, and then wave and turn around. It's just that the next minute after turning around or the next minute and looking back at the same time, you can still see each other's figures from a distance of dozens of meters.

On the 25th, Di Yun returned to the capital, and his daughter-in-law's bus picked him up at the airport in the company's car.

"Is it fun to be abroad?" Lao Xu asked.

"It's fun."

"Are there any girls with you?"

Women's sixth sense......

Di Yun pulled the money from his neck and said, "With this thing, the nine-tailed fox spirit can't get close when it comes." ”

"Ha, count you on!" Lao Xu said with a smile.

After getting in the car, Lao Xu asked, "How is it?" Did you win the prize? ”

"You didn't read the report?" Di Yun asked curiously.

"What report?"

"Didn't you report it?"

"I didn't see it anyway, but there was news that a movie on Hong Kong Island won the award." Lao Xu is also quite strange.

Di Yun smashed his mouth and understood what was going on, he felt disgusting in his heart, but he was worried about Lao Jia, and he didn't know what kind of mood he would feel when he learned the news after returning to China.
