The golden bear of the festival finally fell into the hands of "Go Forward", and when director Fatih Akin walked to the center of the stage and held the trophy high, the audience burst into a tsunami of applause.

This is the first time in 17 years that a German film has won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, and the German media and the German audience at the scene are crazy.

The top prize was awarded, and the festival came to an end, but the program was not over yet, and the festival officials held a celebratory reception for all the winners.

The venue for the reception was not far from the Cinema Palace, a star-rated hotel, where the organizers contracted a banquet hall, enough to accommodate all the stars present.

As soon as Cheng Peng walked into the reception, the chairman of the film festival, Kosoliko, walked up to him, gave Cheng Peng a warm hug, and smiled: "My dear Cheng, you are finally here!" ”

That look, that look, is like an old friend who has known each other for many years, but in fact, Cheng Peng has never spoken to him.

Of course, Kosoliko is so enthusiastic for a reason, after all, there are more and more film festivals, various awards are emerging one after another, and the competition between the major film festivals is very fierce, and the director of this year's original opening film "Motorcycle Story" was discovered in Berlin, but switched to Cannes at the last moment, which is a particularly clear example.

What's more, the Berlin Film Festival is in the gap between the Sundance Film Festival and the Oscars, coupled with the cold weather, many Hollywood big names are reluctant to come to Berlin, so the Berlin Film Festival has the most dim star among the three major film festivals, in this case, excellent works and excellent directors are particularly important.

Cheng Peng is a talent discovered by the Berlin Film Festival, and this talent must be wooed to become a direct director of Berlin and continue to shine on the Berlin stage.

In fact, not only Berlin, Venice and Cannes attach great importance to cultivating descendants, and they also have their own descendant directors, taking Chinese directors as an example, Jia Zhangke is from the "Venice department", Lou Ye is from the "Cannes department", and Wang Quanan is from the "Berlin department".

Of course, there must be advantages as a descendant director, and the chance of being shortlisted must be greater, if the works of two directors are similar, one is descendant, and the other is non-descendant, it is clear which one to choose, and there are more than one or two films that enter the main competition unit of the film festival every year by nepotism.

Cheng Peng felt a little emotion in his heart, when he first came to the film festival, not only did no one take care of him, but he even had to take a taxi to attend the opening ceremony, but now he was greeted by Chairman Kosoliko in person, and the treatment was simply turned upside down, and he said with a smile: "Mr. President, you are so enthusiastic!" ”

Kosoliko knew that Cheng Peng was a newcomer and was not familiar with the circle of the film festival, so after hugging Tong Liyu and them, he pulled Cheng Peng to introduce him.

The seven judges of the main competition unit stood together and didn't know what to talk about, with smiles on their faces and high interest.

A few steps away, Kosoliko greeted the judges: "Hey, guys, what are you talking about?" ”

McDulland laughed, "Ha, we just happened to talk about this young gentleman next to you, who is in the limelight tonight!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled and nodded at several judges, and said with interest: "Of course, I am a lucky boy today. ”

McDullmond smiled: "It's not lucky, but it's really good, I like your movie, and I especially like the old lady in the movie, I'm a strong supporter of your movie!" ”

Cheng Peng frowned slightly, he felt that he was able to win two awards this time, I am afraid it was inseparable from her support, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it is my greatest honor to be affirmed by you!" ”

When selecting film festival awards, it is particularly important to have support, because the selection rules of the film festival are completely different from those of the Oscars, the Oscars are a voting system, and thousands of members vote together, and the support of one or two people does not play a role; The cinema is a jury system, which is selected by several judges, and at this time, if someone firmly supports you, then the possibility of winning the award will increase greatly.

"White Fireworks" can shine in Berlin, and it has nothing to do with Tony Leung being a judge; Why does Ang Lee say that Zhang Yimou is his nobleman, because when Ang Lee won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 93 with "The Wedding Banquet", Zhang Yimou was a judge, and Zhang Yimou was the chairman of the jury when "Lust and Caution" won the Golden Lion in Venice in 07.

Therefore, in a competition where a small group determines the outcome of the film festival, whether there is support or not is completely two results, of course, the premise is that your film must pass the quality test, if you send "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" to it, even if the judges are all Chinese, I am afraid everyone will not have the face to vote.

In the whole reception, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Charlize Theron, who wore a thin-shouldered black dress and a pair of high heels, looking both family name and charming.

It is difficult for Cheng Peng to associate this radiant woman with the yellow-toothed, freckle-riddled and vulgar Irene in the movie "The Female Devil".

He has always thought that the actor's acting skills are good, and if the character is too far from him in terms of appearance and temperament, the final effect will definitely not be good, but Theron completely subverted his point of view.

Cheng Peng was a little curious, and went over to say hello: "Miss Theron, I watched "The Female Devil", and your performance in it is wonderful. ”

Theron smiled and nodded, "Thank you!" ”

Cheng Peng said: "I have a question and I want to ask for it." I've seen the video of the real Erin on the Internet, and I found that in addition to your appearance being a little different from Erin, your movements and demeanor are almost exactly the same as the real Erin, and you can't see your shadow at all in the movie, how did you do it? ”

Theron laughed: "I spent more than half a year preparing for this role, overeating, making myself fat, not washing my hair for a month, and watching Erin's tapes repeatedly!" ”

"These are on the outside, but what about the heart? People always have an instinct to survive, she doesn't want strangers to get a glimpse of her heart, especially people like Erin, they are very withdrawn and closed to their hearts, how did you get into the heart of this character and interpret her? ”

"A good friend of mine, Jackie, has known Erin since 1993, and she made a documentary about Erin, in which Erin opened her heart; In addition, I read all her letters, and there are also letters she sent to her very close boyfriend. I get to know her in these indirect ways, and then I interpret her. ”

Cheng Peng chatted with Theron for a while, and then found a quiet corner to think, Theron's own temperament and image are very different from the real Erin, why can she interpret this role that is very different from herself?

He thinks it should have something to do with the experience of the two, Erin because the family can't find warmth, so she tries to seek the love of a man, but in exchange for the fourteen-year-old unmarried child, she has no choice but to go to the road of selling 1 silver, and contracted the vice of drug addiction; Theron's family is also very unfortunate, having witnessed her mother shoot and kill her alcoholic father when she was 15 years old, so she loves to drink, and rumors about her drug-addicted family name have continued.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and there may be similarities in the surname, Theron is stronger in his heart, and Erin has something violent in his heart.

Tong Liyu saw Cheng Peng sitting in the corner in a daze, looked in the direction of his eyes, stretched out his hand and shook his eyeballs, and pouted: "She's so good-looking?" ”

"What?"

"Charlize Theron!"

"It's really good-looking, but it's not the type I like, I'm thinking about acting, you've also watched "The Witch", do you think you can play this role?"

"I can't act."

"Originally, I thought it would definitely not work, but now I think it's possible, no kidding, I really think so."

Tong Liyu's eyes widened: "You don't want me to play this kind of role?" ”

Cheng Peng came to the right party this time, and said with a smile: "No, just as an example, I found that I used to be too dogmatic, in fact, even if the roles are contrasting, you may find common ground, maybe it's experience, maybe it's a surname, maybe it's something else, as long as you grasp these commonalities and integrate into the role through these commonalities, you may also be able to play the role well!" ”

At the same time as the cocktail party was going on, Ning Hao returned home with a drunken body, and the funding problem of "Green Meadow" was finally solved, and the movie could be started in a few days.

Ning Hao lay on the ** for a few minutes, and found that he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he got up and turned on the computer.

After entering the film forum, he found that the top post read: "Congratulations to this version of the great god Berlin for winning the award!" ”

Ning Hao was surprised, when did such a cow come out of the forum, he clicked on the post and looked at it, and finally knew what was going on, it turned out that Cheng Peng was interviewed by the media, and inadvertently mentioned that he went to the forum to post a gaffer, and the netizens of the forum were excited when they saw it, isn't this the king of the world and Spielberg's incident, and the whole forum suddenly became a sensation.

After understanding what was going on, Ning Hao dialed Lu Chuan's phone with a little excitement: "Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan, I know who the king of the world is!" ”

"Ning Hao, you kid still won't let people live, it's three o'clock in the morning! You called in the middle of the night just to tell me this, it's not nonsense, who else but James Cameron! ”

"No, I'm talking about the one who made the movie forum, the one who PK with Spielberger!"

Lu Chuan bounced up from the **, he had said to Ning Hao at the beginning that this guy would definitely come out, but he didn't expect it to appear so soon: "Who is it, where is he?" ”

"In Berlin, he won three awards for his film, Best Debut Film, Best Actress, and the Grand Jury Prize!"

Lu Chuan has been busy with the later stage of "Ke Ke Xili" recently, and he doesn't care much about the outside world, but when he heard Ning Hao's words, he still shouted: "I'm grass, the best debut female film, this guy is actually making a movie for the first time, what did he do before?" ”

"It used to be Beipiao, but when I was making a movie last year, I beat the director because of the difference in acting concepts, and I was banned, and I came out to make a movie by myself in a fit of anger!"

"How is it possible, is this guy a youkai? A trickster who has such a deep understanding of movies? It's impossible! ”

"Lu Chuan, you have to believe that there are geniuses in this world, and Cameron was just a truck driver before making movies! This guy is a real genius! Ning Hao shook his head, he is different from Lu Chuan, he never denies the strength of others, of course he will think about where others are strong and why they are strong, and then learn from others' strengths to make up for his own shortcomings.

"Damn, I don't believe he's so good, I don't believe that my "Ke Ke Xili" is weaker than him!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao had an indescribable excitement in his heart, he leaned back in his chair and thought, when the filming of "Green Meadow" is finished, I will also go to Berlin for a walk, so that I can get investment for "Crazy Stone"!

"Crazy Stone" has been brewing in his heart for several years, and he believes that when this story becomes an image, it will be able to soar into the sky like Cheng Peng.
