Chapter 45: Berlin Captures the Bear

When I entered the arena, I found my seat, and the audience was noisy, and I didn't know each other left and right.

Luo Kedi sat there uncomfortable, and secretly asked happily: "Where is the bathroom......?"

Happy gave him a white look, "Hold it for me." ”

Luo Kedi sat back, only quiet for a while, and then couldn't help but come over, "Boss, help, I can't hold it anymore, you don't want me to pee my pants here." ”

was blown in his ear, and he happily felt that he had the urge to urinate, but don't ooze a few drops when he is excited. Although he was wearing black pants, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be in the spotlight...... Before he could start, he quickly looked around, "Follow me." ”

The two of them ran quickly to boo, and then walked back happily. Zhang Zhengwu was depressed, "Did you go to the toilet, why didn't you call me?" ”

"You have a lot of and pee, hold it."

“……”

At this time, the lights are dimmed, and the venue is gradually quiet.

The host took the stage and briefly said a few opening remarks, and then the jury appeared. Leslie Cheung is naturally among them, and his expression is very upright. The chairman of this year's jury is Ben Kingsley, who is very strict, and he doesn't say much, and many people don't understand it at all.

The closing ceremony of the film festival is not as funny as the American Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, for the sake of ratings or anything, they have always been simple and neat, and they also deliberately keep a distance from Hollywood. And the nominations for the three major European film festivals are also very individual, although they change their awards from time to time and like to introduce new awards, but the shortlist is always only the highest Golden Bear. A long list of which films will be shortlisted for which award will only be revealed on the last day. I've been studying happily for so long, and I don't understand what the "Don Quixote Award", "Caligari Award" and "Blue Angel Award" are.

However, in international practice, the first awards are still those that are not very important in the main competition unit.

The opening film "The Boxer" also won the award, because the limelight of "Grand Central Station" completely overshadowed it on the day of the opening ceremony. Even Daniel Day Lewis's aspiring actor is gradually gone. Perhaps Berlin made up for the embarrassment by finally posting a Morgenpost Readers' Review Award.

If you don't pay attention, "Xiao Wu" won the award, and the forum unit "Wolfgang Stotle" award.

Jia Zhangke jumped up as if he had won a million in the lottery, and said a lot of excitement on stage. Happily shook his head when he watched it in the audience, it was really green, far from the aura of an award-winning professional director in his previous life.

Chinese films, in addition to "Xiao Wu", "The Happier the More Depraved" also won the Best Feature Film Award in the main competition unit. There are three best feature films this year that won the award together. The crew sat not far away, happily standing up to congratulate, "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you."

When I looked back, I realized that Qiu Shuzhen, the heroine of this movie, was actually sitting behind her, and I couldn't help but quietly look back a few more times. Maybe I'm used to it in my last life, and I haven't gotten rid of my bad habits yet, and I always feel that when I see her, I think of those memorable "The Secret Life of Cixi", "Red Fruit Lamb" and so on.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for him to get married, and then he stopped shadowing, married and taught children...... It seems like it's only been these two years. Most of the female stars in Hong Kong can't escape this trap, no matter how popular they are, they all want to marry a wealthy family. If you have a bad reputation, you will reach the age and are eager to find someone to marry, and if you wait any longer, you are likely to be lonely for the rest of your life. After getting married, it is the norm to stop shadowing and teach husbands and children. Only when life is poor in the future, can I go back to the mainland to participate in variety shows to make money, but unfortunately the goddess at that time is no longer beautiful.

was distracted, and suddenly the best actress was on stage, what is the order of awards.

“…… The winner of Best Actress at this year's Berlin Film Festival was...... Siqin Gaowa "Central Station"! ”

"Boss, it's us, it's ...... award"

"We won the award?!"

Luo Kedi grabbed Happy Happiness and shook it hard, Happy really hated his memory, why did he forget to change the seat of the fat man. Happy quickly got up, walked onto the stage with arrows, and received the trophy in the applause of the audience.

Qiu Shuzhen in the audience was also surprised, she didn't know Happy, and thought he was just an actor, why did this teenager who turned around from time to time to peek at himself come on stage to accept the award. Curiously asked Guan Jinpeng beside him, "Who is that person?" ”

"The director of the crew of 'Grand Central Station.'"

"Director?" Qiu Shuzhen was surprised.

"Hmm. Young people nowadays are amazing. ”

Happy took the trophy and certificate, thanked him, and then said his acceptance speech into the microphone, maybe it was not his own award, he looked very calm, and changed his voice and said: "I-am-a-lady...... Apparently not. ”

The audience burst into laughter.

Happy himself also smiled, "OK, I am here to accept the award on behalf of Teacher Siqin Gaowa." She is a senior I admire very much, and she also starred in the 1992 Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award film "Soul Girl". Although women are made of water, they cannot pass without a trace. The vicissitudes of time always carve a woman's face unconsciously, no matter how exquisite plastic surgery is, it can't polish the marks of the years, maybe the Ah Duo you see in the movie is no longer in her prime, but her beauty will stay in the world for a long time. She is our national treasure actress, and I am very grateful to the jury for awarding this award to Siqin Gaowa, which she deserves. ”

This is a crushing award, and he is not exaggerating. At the end, he didn't forget to ridicule in Chinese: "Auntie, you must invite me to dinner when you go back." 3Q。 ”

Gao shook the trophy and walked backstage amid applause.

Back in the seat, naturally a few goods rushed to read the trophy. Qiu Shuzhen in the back actually took the initiative to say hello, "Congratulations, you won the grand prize." ”

A gust of fragrant wind blew in, making the happy people for a while before waking up, "...... Thank you. I wanted to talk a few more words, but I felt that my mouth was dry and moss-grown. Smack your lips and just close it.

Suddenly, the Best Actor trophy was taken away by "S.H.I.E.L.D." Samuel L. Jackson for "Dangerous Liaisons".

Seeing that the "director" on the stage, who was not wearing an eye patch, delivered his acceptance speech, he was happy and gradually calmed down, according to international practice, the chance of winning two awards is already very small. Now that he has won the Best Actress award, the jury should not do the final prize, right?

I suddenly had a contradiction in my heart: it is not uncommon for small trees to be broken by the wind, and the seeds cannot fall on the soil. Thinking a little selfish, he suddenly realized that it seemed more advantageous not to win the Best Actress award...... Phew, what do you think.

Subsequently, the Best Director Award was awarded to Neil Jordan for "Butcher Boy". Now that the awards are here, it's time for the main show. The Grand Jury Prize, the Golden Bear, and the final prize of this year's Berlin Film Festival will be announced. Whether it's the American non-mainstream film "Wagging Tail", which mocks politicians and mocks Hollywood, or the brilliant performance of "Dangerous Liaisons", the more wonderful "Murder of Green Toes" and the popular "Grand Central Station".

Three American films, one Chinese-language film.

The final prize, these movies, will be the final main contenders.

The host re-entered the stage, and in the solemn expression of the audience, he was no longer funny, and said: "It seems that everyone knows what will happen next, and I won't talk nonsense, the next is the jury award!" ”

The audience held their breath, and even the peaceful happiness began to be slightly nervous.

"The winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Berlinale was ...... "Wagging Tail Dog"!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience, accompanied by a lot of boos, which was dissatisfied with the fact that this excellent film did not win the Golden Bear. Happy but relieved, and then immediately lifted God again. He is glad that it is not the Grand Jury Award, but he is worried that the Golden Bear Award will be lost in the end, which is really not entangled.

Barrilei Vinson, the director of "Wagging the Tail Dog," didn't know what interesting speech he had made, which caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Happy also clapped his hands, and before the final award was awarded, a lifetime achievement award was presented to Alan Renai in the middle, which cushioned the atmosphere. But what should come, still come, everyone watched intently as the final prize was awarded.

Ben Kingsley, the chairman of the jury, walked onto the stage with a stern face and no nonsense, and directly read out the final result: "The winner of the Golden Bear Award at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival is ...... "Central Station", congratulations! ”
