Chapter 326: Prelude

"Congratulations, Chu!"

As soon as the name was announced, the applause of the guests and the cheers of the audience rang out in an instant, which lasted for half a minute, intertwined and climbed, until the house was overturned.

Chu Qing listened to the noise, but his brain seemed to be empty, and after a while, he felt a shivering sensation of cold and heat crawling from his spine to the back of his head, stimulating his scalp numb.

Fan Xiaoye had already stood up, hugged him tightly, and forcibly held back from crying.

In the morning, she sent him off on the expedition, and at this moment, she was lucky not to taste defeat, but to enjoy the glory together.

"Good!"

Chu Qing coaxed in a low voice, turned around and hugged Li Yang again.

From the seat to the stage, the distance is about tens of meters. He strode away, all the way in the dazzling lights, the stage towering, as if gradually ascending to the clouds.

"Congratulations, you're very, very good!"

Anna tapped his cheek twice before handing over the trophy.

β€œthankyou!”

Chu Qing took it, paced to the front of the stage, stood still, turned around, and glanced at the audience. Cheng Ying stood silently a meter behind him, ready to translate instantly.

It was extremely quiet below, and they all looked at this young man who had made history.

"Uh, thanks to the jury, thanks to the audience......"

As soon as he spoke, he felt inexplicably hot, reached out and unbuttoned his suit, revealing his decent white shirt, and continued:

"The day before yesterday, it was Valentine's Day; Yesterday, it was the Lantern Festival. We were supposed to spend these two days with the people closest to us, but my fiancΓ©e was always with me in Berlin. Thank you, this award smells of love. Thank you Director Li Yang, he made an excellent work. Thank you to those friends who have followed and encouraged me, without your support, this winter would not be so warm, thank you! ”

"Wow!"

Cheng Ying translated this passage into English very fluently, and everyone slapped their hands. While amazed by the romantic enthusiasm of this oriental.

Of course, what was even more unexpected was Fan Xiaoye, when he returned to his seat, he snatched the trophy and said with a crying voice: "When did you become so good at talking?" ”

"People have to improve!" Chu Qing said with a smile.

"Well, your skin is getting thicker, my writing is getting better and better, and we will make progress together." Cheng Ying yawned and revealed the truth without being salty.

Fan Xiaoye's love was obviously out of control, and he wiped his tears. He said to himself: "I can't do this in the future, I will cry as soon as you go up, then my eyes will be blind from crying." ”

As she spoke, she snorted fiercely and forcibly suppressed her thoughts, but she still clung to the little bear, and whoever grabbed it would kill whoever grabbed it.

Chu Qing was more depressed, he didn't have enough fun, and he immediately became the property of the other party.

Don't mention them. The party went on over there, and after the actor award was awarded, only the last supreme award remained.

The president of the jury, a Canadian film theorist, presented the awards in person. The result was far from media predictions: "Between Earths," a British film about the living conditions of Afghan refugees, won the Golden Bear for Best Picture.

At this point, the suspense has been fully revealed.

The six most important awards were divided equally across three continents. Two in Hollywood, two in Europe, and two in Asia. As the buddy in the front row said. This is a naked geopolitical zhì!

The 53rd edition of the Berlin International Film Festival succeeded in creating a big buzz, and Koslick used his bizarre political thinking to dominate the conflict and inevitability, and also played a trick on all the participants.

Although "Blind Well" failed to win the Golden Bear, it swept down two Silver Bear Awards and became the big winner tonight.

And the 27-year-old Chu Qing, his name is also destined to be engraved on the honor monument of the film festival, because he set two records in the first battle:

Berlin's first Chinese actor!

He is also the youngest Berlin actor!

…………

Downtown, Friends.

This is a well-known Chinese restaurant in Berlin, and it is also the designated hotel for the Chinese-speaking corps who come to participate in the film festival every year. The crew often has dinner parties, entertains journalists, or opens small press conferences here.

After the award ceremony, Chu Qing finished coping with the official cocktail party and group interview, and wanted to pull his friends here to fill his stomach. Then Cheng Ying mentioned yì, just invite some reporters to come, it can be lively, otherwise the four of them will be too hard.

So Chu Qing contacted Yuan Lei again and asked her to call all her colleagues from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This time, three media came to Hong Kong, two from Taiwan, a total of 12 people, and they just booked a small hall. Two rows of long tables are put together, and the chairs are arranged to the left and right, which is a bit like a godfather meeting.

Everyone doesn't know each other, but it doesn't matter, tonight is a grand event for the Chinese and worth celebrating. Even the owner of the hotel heard that the crew was here, so he came to chat for a while, and immediately gave a 20% discount and a bottle of champagne.

Although it is weird to drink champagne with Chinese food, everyone is very hungry, eating happily, talking happily, and avoiding some sensitive political topics, collectively talking about eggs, and the atmosphere of hip-hop is very harmonious.

Hong Kong reporters know him well and seem very casual in their conversations, while Taiwan reporters are more reserved and slightly polite.

The meal was eaten until midnight, and the boss delayed closing, helped remove the dishes and set them up, and soon set up a simple interview hall.

Fan Xiaoye and the others hid to the side, Chu Qing took a glass of unfinished champagne, sat behind the long table, looked at the professional face of Yi Ganyu, and said, "Let's start." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and was a little humble, and finally Yuan Lei took the lead in asking: "Brother Qing, let's talk about your feelings first, are you surprised by this result?" ”

"Feeling is happy! Accident, I think I was surprised when I didn't win the award, but I really won the award, and it all became reasonable. ”

"Then what do you think about "Blind Well" killing "Heroes"?"

"Well, I can only say that "Blind Well" is very much in line with the jury's taste."

Yuan Lei pursed her lips, this product is getting worse and worse, she can't tell the truth, so she immediately shut up and give time to her peers.

And Hong Kong reporters don't care much about the Berlin actors, they just stare at "Infernal Affairs":

"Do you still participate in the prequel?"

"I heard that the script has been completed, but the director hasn't informed me yet." Chu Qing spread his hands and said, "So I don't know." ”

"Then if you participate, will your salary increase?"

"Oh, this, this depends on the specific investment environment. If the crew has money, I'll take more, if I don't have money, it doesn't matter if I take less, of course I have to play well. ”

"How is the release of the first part going?"

"I don't know what's going on over there, and I haven't started it yet."

"You did it separately?"

"Yes, separate, each has its own channels, it is inconvenient to mix together."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The three groups of reporters from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan all have a distinct regional tendency. Yuan Lei pays attention to the award itself, Hong Kong only cares about its own, and Wanwan doesn't hang at all, because they have nothing to ask.

Whether it is the history of the actors' honors or the film industry as a whole, they are very inferior, and after thinking about it, they only hold back one sentence: "With your current situation, do you think you will still be banned?" ”

Chu Qing's throat ached, so he took a sip of champagne slowly, and said helplessly: "Big brother, I've invited you to dinner, so don't open any pot and mention which pot." ”

…………

One o'clock in the afternoon, the Nandu Editorial Center.

Most of the newspapers at this meeting were evening newspapers, unlike the morning newspapers that flew all over the sky later, and the daily editorial process of the newspaper was roughly as follows: interviews in the morning, finalization and typesetting in the afternoon, and then sent to the printing house and published in the evening.

Therefore, when an editor received Yuan Lei's manuscript at 6 o'clock in the morning, it was the busiest stall of the newspaper.

He opened the mailbox, only glanced at it, raised his butt and ran inside, and said, "Director, there's news from Yuan Lei!" ”

"What's the situation?"

Yang Xiaopei, who was thinking about today's front-page news, asked when he heard the words.

"Chu Qing, Berlin Actor!" The editor almost shouted.

He looked up sharply and hurriedly said, "Send me the manuscript!" ”

Yuan Lei was desperate, she returned to the hotel at three o'clock in the morning, and wrote an in-depth report of 3,000 words in a short time, and sent back a few big pictures by the way.

Yang Xiaopei stared at the computer, very, very focused, after reading, he was speechless for a while, and after a while, he picked up the phone and pressed a few numbers.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, I have something to ask you for."

"Yes, there are all of them, Yuan Lei wrote very carefully."

"Well, okay, I'll wait for your news."

He hung up the phone, touched the cigarette case, and just lit it, he suddenly remembered that it was not a smoking area. But if you go to the stairwell, you are afraid of missing the phone.

"Director, how's it going?"

At this time, the editor came over and inquired about the progress with a face full of gossip.

"Mr. Liu is asking Mr. Sun, wait!" He replied angrily.

"Oh!"

The man grabbed his table and continued to beg for nothing, "Hey, did you say this time it will be done?" ”

"How do I know!"

Yang Xiaopei waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, go back to work, what are you talking about here!" ”

"Aren't I concerned, I suffocated everyone a few times before, and now you see that they are all changing ......"

The guy was complaining, and he heard the phone ring, and the "jingle bell" seemed to spread throughout the office area.

Yang Xiaopei immediately picked it up and continued: "Hey, ah, Mr. Sun!" ”

"Yes, yes, I've seen it, there's nothing wrong with the general direction, it's just not clear......"

"Good! I understand! Rest assured! ”

He said for more than two minutes, and before he could put down the microphone, he turned his head and said one word:

"Fat!" (To be continued......)
