Chapter 57: The Night of the Harvest
Tong Liyu looked at Cheng Peng on the stage, her eyes were shining, she had a hunch that this was just the starting point for Cheng Peng's take-off, and he would inevitably turn into a dragon with golden scales and soar above the nine heavens.
She took a deep breath and cheered herself on, Yaya, you have to do it too!
Cheng Peng stepped off the stage and hugged his three friends again, and the situation in front of him reminded him of the high spirits on the day the movie was completed, and now his dream has finally come true.
After sitting down, Zhang Meng snatched the viewfinder from Cheng Peng's hand, rubbed it in his hand, and couldn't put it down: "Xiaopeng, this is a high-level viewfinder, good thing, lend me a few days to play!" β
Cheng Peng nodded with a smile and said, "You can use it, this thing is good, and you can use it when you are a director in the future!" β
Zhang Meng was just joking, he didn't expect Cheng Peng to say this, so he quickly shook his head and said, "How can it be done, this is your trophy!" β
In Cheng Peng's opinion, it was just a viewfinder, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say just now, I can't get this award without your support, this is already your share, take it!" β
Zhang Meng was a little moved, and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll keep it well!" β
Zhao Linlin turned sideways at Cheng Peng and said with a smile, "Xiaopeng, and us, don't forget us, the best debut female novel has a bonus, you have to treat it!" β
When Tong Liyu heard that there was a bonus to take, he felt a little incredible: "There is also a bonus, how much is it?" β
Cheng Peng stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly on her head, and said, "Yaya, why are you so mercenary, and you are interested when you hear that you have money?" β
Tong Liyu glared at Cheng Peng fiercely, this guy didn't know where he learned the bad problem recently, he always likes to play her head, he just treats her as a child, Yaya is very angry, and the consequences are very serious: "You are a philistine, I call it a housekeeper!" β
Zhao Linlin sneered: "Yaya, the bonus is Cheng Peng's, what kind of family do you hold, are you in charge of his money?" β
Zhang Meng also smiled and nodded: "I can see that Yaya is originally a housekeeper, which is better than the bonus!" β
Tong Liyu realized that she had used the wrong word, a flush appeared on her face, and she hugged Zhao Linlin's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Linlin, you also bully me, how much is it?" β
Cheng Peng smiled: "Fifty thousand euros!" β
50,000 euros, that's 500,000! Tong Liyu exclaimed: "With so much money, no wonder such people come to participate in the competition, how much money will they have if they get the Golden Bear?" β
Cheng Peng shook his head and said: "The main competition unit only has trophies, no bonuses, only some awards that encourage newcomers have bonuses, but relatively young film festivals like the Tokyo Film Festival and the Magic Capital Film Festival, because of their lack of influence, in order to attract more people to participate, the main competition unit also has bonuses." We got a prize for this, but I'd rather I didn't take it myself! β
Tong Liyu didn't understand: "Why? β
Cheng Peng explained: "Because we have already won an award, it is difficult to say whether we can win the award in the future!" β
Tong Liyu didn't want to say authentically: "No, we will definitely have a prize, because we are the second place!" β
The awards ceremony of the festival continues, followed by the main competition awards, the Silver Bear and the Golden Bear, which will be the highlight of the evening.
"The work that won the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award is "Breaking Dawn" from Sweden, congratulations!"
"The work that won the award for Best Film Music was the Italian film "First Love", congratulations!"
"The winner of the Best Actor was the actor of the Argentine film 'The Lost Embrace', Mr. Daniel Handel!"
There is no doubt that the films that can win awards at the Berlin Film Festival are very rare works, and the audience did not hesitate to applaud themselves and cheer for the winners again and again.
β¦β¦
The award for Best Actress is particularly highly anticipated by audiences, as two of the films in this year's competition have just been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, Charlize Theron for "The Devil of Woman" and Caterina Moreno for "Hail Mary". After the release of these two films in Berlin, both the media and the audience were full of praise for the performances of the two.
The two are bound to have a battle for the queen of the film on this night, whether the South African diamond club wins, or the fledgling Caterina Moreno soars, the audience has already been whetted for it.
The award presenter, Diane Kruger, who plays Helen in "Troy", looks elegant and charming, she stood in the middle of the stage and said into the microphone: "There are a lot of outstanding performances at this festival, and there are two actors who are particularly good at performing, and it is really difficult to choose, so this time there are two best actresses, and the first winner is Charlize Theron!" β
The audience at the scene was applauding hard, Cheng Peng and they were also applauding hard, and Theron conquered everyone with a wonderful performance.
However, Zhao Linlin pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect the Berlin Film Festival to also lay double yolk eggs!" β
Cheng Peng said with a smile: "The Berlin Film Festival not only has double yolk eggs, but even triple yolk eggs, and last year's "All the Time", Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, all three of them won the actress at the same time. β
Looking at Charlize Theron, who was full of charming smiles on the stage, the applause of the audience never stopped, especially the men, who were even more excited, cheering and applauding at the same time, this woman was so charming.
Cheng Peng looked at the radiant and radiant Theron on the stage, and admired it very much, it was difficult for him to associate her at this moment with the fat and ugly Erin in the movie, this woman's performance is very strong, especially the explosive power shown at the end of the film, which is extremely amazing!
After Theron stepped down, Diane Kruger bowed her head slightly and continued to announce the winners into the microphone: "There is one more winner, she is ......"
Cheng Peng looked at Diane Kruger on stage and said: "Caiterina Moreno is acting in a movie for the first time, and she can act to this extent, which is indeed very powerful, and she deserves to win the award." β
Zhang Meng nodded, he and Cheng Peng had both watched this movie and acted very well, and said: "Yes, many media think that a new star is about to rise." β
Meanwhile, Diane Kruger read out the winner's name aloud: "The Two of Us from China, Jin Yaqin!" β
Cheng Peng was stunned at that time, he couldn't believe his ears, and Zhang Meng and the others were also stunned.
Tong Liyu turned his head and looked at Cheng Peng, with a shocked expression: "I heard it right, right?" β
"No, I heard it too!"
"I heard it too!"
"Teacher Jin didn't come, who will come to the stage to receive the award?"
Cheng Peng is really a little surprised, it's not that the old lady's performance is not good enough, the old lady's performance is absolutely top-notch, but her performance is deep and introverted, this kind of performance is not as eye-catching as Theron's outward performance, as long as the outward performance is well controlled, not too hot, it is particularly easy to be affirmed.
Just like the two French actors Adjani and Huppert, their performance styles are diametrically opposed, Adjani is flamboyant and outgoing, and Huppert is calm and introverted, both of them are the best actors in the world, and it is difficult to say who is better in their performances, but Adjani and Huppert met three times in the CΓ©sar Award, and Ajani won all three times.
Although this result is a bit unexpected, it does not surprise too many people, after all, the old lady's performance is also seen by many people, it is an excellent performance, but it is not so public.
Coming to the stage to accept the award, or such an award, it will definitely be on the pages of major media around the world and attract the attention of media all over the world. When "My Father and Mother" won the Silver Bear Award in Berlin, it was supposed that the director should have come to the stage to accept the award, but when Zhang Yimou stepped on stage to accept the award, Zhang Ziyi took it upon herself to follow the stage. And Zhang Ziyi really won the attention of the media all over the world because of that appearance.
So Cheng Peng handed over the opportunity to Tong Liyu: "Yaya, you go on stage to receive the award, you have the best relationship with Teacher Jin, she must be very happy if you go to receive the award on her behalf!" β
Tong Liyu was a little nervous: "But if I want to say my acceptance speech on stage, what should I say when I go up?" β
Cheng Peng shook her hand gently, smiled and comforted: "Just say a few words, just tell them that Teacher Jin can't come, and you are here to accept the award instead of her!" β
Tong Liyu's hand tightened slightly, and then relaxed, and even the tension in his heart was relieved: "Well, I'll go!" β
With light steps, she walked to the center of the stage, took the trophy from Diane Kruger's hand, and said "thank you".
Then he looked at the crowd under the stage, looked into the microphone, and said, "Hello everyone! Because of her health, Grandma Jin Yaqin couldn't come to the scene today. She is 80 years old, this is her first time acting in a movie, she has put in a lot of effort to act in this movie, we all respect her very much, we are all happy for her to win this award, thank you! β
Coming down from the stage, Tong Liyu's face was filled with excitement and asked, "How is it, I didn't say anything wrong on stage, right?" β
Cheng Peng applauded her gently: "It's great, it's like a real movie queen!" β
won the Best Debut Actress Award, and won the Best Actress Award, two awards in hand, "The Two of Us" is a bumper harvest on this night, and all they have to do now is to watch other movies with a happy mood to fight for the awards.
"The winner of the Best Director Award is the director of "Samaritan Girl", Mr. Kim Ki-duk!"
The audience at the scene was applauding, and Cheng Peng stood up to applaud him, this person is a fan of Zhang Yimou, but he took a different path, particularly radical, particularly profound, and particularly realistic, so he was abandoned by the Korean audience.
In such a difficult situation, a person can still adhere to the pursuit in his heart and not change for the outside world, even if he is suspected of going mad, he is still worthy of respect.
Next is the jury award second only to the Golden Bear, Cheng Peng thought about it, and couldn't remember which movie won this award, but he remembered the Golden Bear, which was "Go Forward".
"The Two of Us" has already won two awards, and Cheng Peng easily joked with his partner: "Guess, whose award is it?" β
"Maybe it's 'The Crying Prairie'!"
""Crying Prairie" is so boring, Kim Ki-duk is asleep watching it, I think it's "Go Forward"."
"No, "Go Brave" is definitely a golden bear!"
β¦β¦
"The work that won the Grand Jury Prize is the Chinese film "The Two of Us", congratulations!"
When Cheng Peng heard "The Two of Us" read out of the mouth of the award presenter, he thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Tong Liyu beside him in disbelief, but he saw a face of ecstasy.
Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin both jumped up, let out a cheer, and pounced on Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng covered his face excitedly, if he let go of his hand, he might shout, it was really unbelievable, there was a third award!
There are seven awards in the main competition unit, and I won two, plus the Best Debut Female Novel Award, I actually won three awards!
Cheng Peng almost felt that he was dreaming, and the hand covering his face rubbed it twice, it was not a dream, it was true! He let go of his hands, showed a bright smile, and hugged Tong Liyu and them one by one.
Then he clenched his hands into fists, waved it vigorously, and with a bright smile, walked steadily towards the direction of the stage.
The guests and the audience applauded, "The Two of Us" ranked second, it is a very good film, and it is really expected to win the Grand Jury Prize!
The crew of "Go Forward" was also applauding desperately, and at the same time they were greatly relieved, it is impossible to win the Golden Bear if they win the Grand Jury Award, they have not won a single award so far, and the Golden Bear is already in the bag.
Cheng Peng's brisk steps made contact with the stage, full of excitement and joy, first hugged the host Franke Portante, and then came to the front of the award presenter Bruno Gantz and shook his hand.
"Great movie, congratulations!"
"Thank you, I really like your performances of "Under the Berlin Sky" and "The Destruction of the Empire"!"
Cheng Peng took the silver-shining trophy from Bruno Gantz's hand, and said with a serious face in front of the crowd of black and oppressive people in the audience, "Okay, I seem to be coming up again, but unfortunately there is no third chance to come up!" β
This sentence made the audience laugh out loud, everyone knows that it is impossible for a film that won the Grand Jury Prize to win the Golden Bear again, because both awards are awarded to the best film, but one is the first and the other is the second, and it is impossible for a film to win the first and second places at the same time.
Cheng Peng glanced at the trophy in his hand, touched it in his pocket, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I only prepared a speech, but I have already read it just now, so I have to think about what to say!" β
There was another burst of laughter from the audience, and Cheng Peng continued: "Okay, I thought about what to say, I want to thank all the members of the crew, the judges of the film festival, all the audience, and everyone!" This award means a lot to me, it means that my friends and I can make more and better Chinese films, thank you! β
The audience applauded thunderously, and the flashing lights flashed into one; On the stage, Cheng Peng held the trophy high, with a bright smile on his face, like a statue.
At this moment, he finally broke out of his cocoon into a butterfly and soared into the sky!
(The three awards are actually not particularly outrageous, the really outrageous is "One Outrageous", which won three awards, Golden Bear, Best Actor, Best Actress, and what's even more excessive is that the three male protagonists of the movie all won the best male lead, and the two female protagonists both won the best female lead, and a movie has three actors, plus two actresses.) οΌ
