Koslick is probably crazy to be poor, and in the past, the awards ceremony was entered by invitation, but this year he magically sold tickets. Many media sneered at him: "There is a shabby look in the bones!" ”

There are even critics who scold us for challenging tradition and leading Berlin step by step into the abyss of pomp and vulgarity.

Mr. Chairman was naturally very unhappy, but when he saw a large number of ordinary movie fans paying for tickets, so that they added a lot of income, he felt like a lonely revolutionary.

But fortunately, he was not crazy enough to cut the entertainment expenses, and tried his best to ensure the accommodation, accommodation and travel of the participating guests.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Qing and his entourage arrived at the main venue in a limousine. At this time, the sky was dark, it was almost winter night, and the temperature was about ten degrees lower than noon.

"Hey, look at that, she's got goosebumps, but I'm glad I'm wearing more."

After crossing the security line, the vehicle slowly drove into the red carpet area, and Fan Xiaoye opened the window to express sympathy for a bareback actress outside.

She was wearing a light blue gown, with long sleeves, tucked shoulders, and the hem of the skirt was mopping the floor, covering tightly, revealing only two collarbones buried in the flesh. The highlight is at the waist, a palm-wide pure white ribbon, tied with a very complex knot, which falls on the left side of the body.

Light blue and white, these two plain colors are put together, coupled with her light makeup, she looks like a pearl beauty. The blue sea and blue sky, the wind blowing, and the skirt corners are hula flying.

"Alright, don't look at it."

Chu Qing hugged her over and said, "Before it arrives, you hurry up and eat something." ”

"I don't, my stomach is up again after eating."

Cheng Ying ignored her, dragged a bag with some high-calorie snacks, and asked, "Uh, there are chocolates and cakes." Which do you want? ”

"Oh, I said I wouldn't eat it!" She continued to refuse.

"You haven't eaten much at noon, it's going to take hours, don't be hungry when you go in!" Chu Qing threatened.

"I'll not tell you if I'm starving!" She glared in response.

Li Yang participated in this kind of large-scale event for the first time, and he didn't know how to do it, so he interjected a sentence next to him: "Then you can drink some water, it seems that drinks are not provided at the venue." ”

This is even more unreliable, Fan Xiaoye pursed his lips and said, "Have you ever seen a female star go to the toilet with a dress?" ”

"Then you participate in the awards, do you still not eat or drink?" He wondered.

"yes, you can't eat too much at dinner. Every time, I go home and cook instant noodles. She amused.

“……”

Li Yang choked suddenly, you people in the city really know how to play.

While several people were chatting nonsense, the car stopped steadily in front of the red carpet, and the handsome concierge brother hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door. Li Yang came up first, followed by Chu Qing, he came down and waited beside him, bending down and stretching out his hand.

Ouch!

Fan Xiaoye was startled, and then the girl's heart burst out. Brother, where did you learn that? It's so face-giving!

She stepped out of her left foot, brushed her skirt, and put her little hand on his palm, borrowing strength to hold on. The whole person got out. She stepped on a pair of eight-centimeter shoes, and the height difference was just right.

The four of them stood side by side, took a few steps forward, and Fang Yi appeared. The cheers on both sides escalated suddenly.

Fans waved their arms and jumped their feet in hopes of getting noticed. There are also two sisters. Holding a large homemade sign with a string of very strange symbols

Chu Qing turned his head to look, sweating and sweating, he didn't care about it at all, and took his daughter-in-law's hand and walked to the photo area.

The reporters held up long guns and short cannons, and the crackling flashing lights hit in an instant, and they were simply blinded. He didn't pose much, he just poked straight and smiled.

Fan Xiaoye has to be embarrassed to shape, and after the A side is filmed, the B side is turned over, and the action is very skillful. Don't talk about her, even Cheng Ying has a special experience on this kind of occasion.

At the end of the red carpet, there was a very spacious interview area, and the crew stayed for a few minutes, and the questions were decent and even a little rigid. The only thing that was not very pleasant was that the host mentioned that he was banned again, and asked Cheng Ying to fool him.

"Chu!"

As soon as the interview ended, Koslick was already waving at the entrance to the theater.

Berlin is not as coercive as Cannes, what to walk half of the steps first, the chairman will accompany the other half, and finally take a group photo together. It's a lot easier here, and Koslick chatted with them and introduced one of the biggest names: Christopher, the president of the Youth Forum.

As we all know, the two most important sections of the Berlinale are the main competition and the youth forum. The status of the latter is equivalent to that of the imperial examination, and those young directors who became famous from here, Christopher was their teacher.

In 98, Chu Qing came to the competition with "Xiao Wu", and no one cared about it. In 03, he visited for the second time, and those he didn't know came to say hello when he had the opportunity.

It took a lot of effort for him to get out of the crowd and hurry in.

"Hey, what do you mean by the signs they are up?"

It wasn't until he sat in his seat and slowed down for a moment that he had the time to ask Cheng Ying.

"You don't understand? In front there is a chu, a heart symbol, followed by kissme. ”

"I know, but I don't know why I want to kissme?"

"Poof!" Cheng Ying couldn't help but spray.

"What's so ridiculous?" He wondered.

"Pig, you!"

Fan Xiaoye couldn't look at it, moved his face and kissed him fiercely, making a "chu~" sound.

"Whoa! That's kissme! ”

…………

"Today, a third of Berlin takes to the streets to oppose the US war against Iraq. We, on the other hand, are here to celebrate the closing of the festival. ”

At about six o'clock, the award ceremony was officially held. Koslick played the role of the opening host, and as he had done ten days earlier, he was still talking about politics.

"Of course, we are not indifferent, but we show our position as filmmakers in another way. Nearly half of the 22 entries this year are concerned with death, survival, and human conflict in the form of politics......"

The girl is on the stage, and the meaning of the words is: Brother is very good this time, there should be applause here!

In fact, I wanted to scold my mother a long time ago, but I still had to give face, and I had a constipated face to endure.

The venue is huge, with about 1,000 seats. Chu Qing and his entourage were in the back position, and they had a hard time watching, but they couldn't understand it. I really don't know what to do except slip the number.

Finally, Koslick ended his canvassing campaign and invited this year's jury to appear. Eight directors, actors, producers, and theorists from different countries are lined up, and the momentum is reversed, but the reputation is a little inferior.

The European Film Festival is a lengthy process, with no cabaret performances, but a wide range of awards, interspersed with quirky retrospectives and small projects.

The first thing to be awarded is some leftovers, what a week film talent award, the caligari film award. Don Quixote and all that stuff is messy.

These have something to do with Chu Qing, they are bored to death, Fan Xiaoye is even more excessive, leaning on the chair and slowly sliding down. He pursed his lips, quietly reached over and pinched her ass hard.

"Ahh

Halfway through the exclamation, she reacted and quickly covered her mouth, feeling sleepy.

"You're looking for ...... death"

Didn't wait for the madness. Chu Qing grabbed her, pointed to the stage, and said, "Hey, "Hero" has won the award!" ”

"What award?" Her focus shifted immediately.

"Alfred Bauer Prize."

“……”

The girl was at a loss. What the hell is this called?

Alfred Bauer is the founder of the festival, and the award is aimed at new films that offer groundbreaking thinking about the art of cinema.

It seems empty. So it has a more concise name: consolation prizes.

The reason why Chu Qing understands is because the last time he came to Berlin, "Xiao Wu" won two Asian film awards. And Guan Jinpeng's "The Happier the More Depraved" won the Bauer Award.

Well, he also laughed at Ah Guan......

To be honest, the Chinese at the scene were quite surprised, with the momentum of "Hero", no matter how bad it is, they can get a silver bear, who knows that it actually hit the street.

Thanks to Lao Mouzi's foresight, he flashed people early, and only sent a crew member to stay behind and was forced to go on stage to brush his face.

Then came the first Silver Bear award tonight, Best Film Music, for "Madame Brutty". And the previously popular "Goodbye Lenin" only won an inexplicable Blue Angel Award, which properly slapped the critics in the face.

By this time, the party had been going on for an hour and a half, and as the German actress Martina Godet stepped forward, the second Silver Bear - the highest artistic contribution award was about to be presented.

"Actually, I was surprised that this was a very important award in the history of the festival. In the 30 years since its establishment in 1973, it has been vacant for 14 years. ”

Madina was a little sturdy, with the typical German toughness and tallness, and she spoke very gently, and continued: "During this period, American filmmakers only had to have twice, and Asian filmmakers only once. So today, this award is back and presented by me, and I feel very honored. Ok, let's take a look at ......"

She opened the envelope neatly, and announced it directly:

“blindshaft！”

"Boom!"

No one needed to remind him, it was Li Yang who got up first, and due to his excessive strength, he hit the back of the chair in front of him. The face with poor skin that was filmed in the well is no longer as calm as usual, and even the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are trembling slightly.

He stood there and paused for two seconds, until Chu Qing also got up and hugged him, and then came back to his senses.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Li Yang stabilized his feelings, hugged Cheng Ying and Fan Xiaoye one by one, and squeezed out of the seat sideways.

"Whoa!"

The guests applauded heartily and smiled, and "Blind Well" deserved this honor.

However, some people's focus was on Li Yang, while others couldn't help but look at Chu Qing, and even the lights on the scene shook twice above his head.

Everyone knows that if the film gets a silver bear, it will be difficult to get a second honor. Of course, it's not that there isn't, but the odds are very small, and no one can be sure if it will appear tonight.

This means that in the battle between Chu Qing and Rockville, the former has fallen behind.

…………

Chu Qing also realized this.

He sat in a chair, very back, and he looked at the whole audience, which was spectacular.

Rockville was tugging at his beard, Spike Jones was chatting privately with Winterburton, and Stephen Dudley was silently hanging his head, not knowing what to think......

Some of these people are relaxed, some are nervous, some are unclear, but no matter what, a longing can be seen in them. A sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in the pursuit of the ultimate in life.

"Heh......"

Chu Qing suddenly smiled, remembering that when he came to Berlin in 98 years and heard that Samuel L. Jackson won the best actor, he felt very sluggish and lost:

Because an actor may not be able to meet a good role in his life, the kind of role that can be played with life. The award is not only an affirmation of the performance, but more importantly, it can engrave a mark that will not disappear for this character and for his own life.

If it is said. His previous expectations for the actor were still very ethereal, but at this moment, it has become more and more real.

Even when he held Li Yang's Silver Bear Award in his hand and slowly rubbed the rough texture, this reality had turned into flesh and blood, filling part of his heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

Fan Xiaoye was always the first to notice the change in his feelings, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Chu Qing leaned forward and lightly touched her forehead.

The party went on, mixed with bits and pieces of consolation. The Silver Bear also continued to be awarded, with the Grand Jury Prize going to "Adapted Screenplay" and the Best Director Award going to "His Brother".

About an hour later, it was the turn of the Best Actress award. That is, the penultimate award.

The guest is a British actor with an unfamiliar name, very handsome, and humorous. The audience laughed. After a few words, he returned to his serious appearance and said, "OK! Let's see what won the award ......"

The moment he opened the envelope. His eyes widened suddenly, and he froze for a moment before he hesitated: "Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore...... Uh, congratulations to the three of you! ”

“what？”

As soon as this list came out, not only did it not applaud enthusiastically, but it was full of surprise and sporadic boos.

It's shameless! It's just naked flattery!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Koslick's face was extremely unhappy, and Dudley was very excited and ran onto the stage at a trot. The three heavy trophies made him unable to hold them, so he had to put them on the table.

And the audience looked at this strange scene, and a thought came to mind: Fortunately, Nicole and the others are flashing!

You let three Oscar-winning actress-level female stars stand on the podium in Berlin in a row...... This is not glory, this is called a slap in the face, okay?

Chu Qing was also very stunned, he thought that such a thing as double yolk eggs was only available in China, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, the people of Europa also fell.

That's three at once!

The neighbors around were all whispering, especially a buddy in front of him, who kept muttering

"What did he say?" Chu Qing asked.

"Geopolitical zhì!" Cheng Ying shrugged.

“……”

He and Fan Xiaoye were both semi-literate and didn't understand at all, so they humbly asked for advice.

"Well, look at it now, not counting the music award, Hollywood has won two silver bears, Europe has won one, and Asia has won one, which is called geopolitics." Cheng Ying explained.

"Oh, divide the pork!"

He suddenly realized that if it was simpler, it had to be quite profound.

Cheng Daboss was extremely disdainful, too lazy to take care of it, and muttered to himself: "There are two awards left, if Berlin is determined to flatter, then there must be Hollywood, if it wants to engage in artistic balance, then there is hope for Asia." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw one of the judges, Italian actor Ana Galena, walk on stage.

This sister is not young, her appearance is average, her mouth is big, but she has a unique personal temperament. Seeing that the scene was noisy, she tapped the microphone with her finger and made a soft "whirring" sound.

And the people below unconsciously became quiet, and heard her speak: "I'm very distressed, the organizer has to let me present this award, and I can't choose between the three equally excellent actors." Cage, that was my idol, still is. Sam, you're a charismatic actor. Chu, you fascinate me. ”

Anna tapped her forehead, made a depressed look, and sighed, "Oh, this is so hard! Luckily, there were eight of us on the jury, and we took on the job together. It was probably the most difficult award of the festival, and we talked about it for almost three hours! OK, here's our pick......"

She slowly opened the envelope, not knowing whether it was clumsy or deliberate.

Chu Qing stared at her without blinking, his heartbeat almost stopped, he knew that the most successful or failed moment since he was a shadow was coming.

He subconsciously clenched Fan Xiaoye's hand, very hard, very hard.

The girl was in a little pain, but she didn't break away, she clearly felt that the other party's palm was glowing with a strange temperature and trembling.

“oh！ You've made history! ”

Anna finally opened the envelope, glanced around, and finally stopped at someone, and smiled: "Congratulations, Chu! (To be continued......) R1292
