Since the Berlinale is so biased towards politics, it is inevitable that it will be hurt by politics.

In fact, the three major film festivals are more or less affected by politics.

It's like in 2004, director Michael Moore was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival with "Fahrenheit 911".

It's just that unlike "Katyn Tragedy", "Fahrenheit 911" was not favored by public opinion at that time, and even many media and film critics thought that "Fahrenheit 911" was here to make up the numbers.

But the final result surprised everyone.

Quentin Tarantino, who was the president of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival at the time, insisted on awarding the Palme d'Or to this documentary.

It can be said that the encounters of "Fahrenheit 911" and "Katyn Tragedy" are simply two extremes.

Of course, the very different experiences of these two films have nothing to do with Quentin and Mr. Costa, who are the presidents of the jury.

After all, who made the filming of "Fahrenheit 911" a move by the Republican Party in the United States in an election year, and the filming of "Katyn Tragedy" is just the personal idea of director Angel Wanda.

Therefore, Quentin, who has the support of the Republican Party, can naturally put this documentary that exposes the old bottom of the United States and criticizes American scandals on the podium with a clear face.

You must know that 2004 has only been a few years ago.

So soon someone thought of this stubble, so the filmmaker, who was still chattering a little, finally calmed down after thinking about this.

Seeing this, the beautiful actress Fadiane Kruger, who was presenting the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay on stage, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After glancing at the hand card again, she said slowly with a smile:

"The winner of this year's Best Screenplay Award is...... "Left Right" - wangxiaoshuai!"

"Congratulations!"

With that, she took the lead in applauding.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei heard a burst of cheers from the crew of "Left and Right".

Wang Xiaoshuai hugged the main creative actors one by one with a smile on his face.

And when he approached along the aisle, Goofy also shook his hand heartily and said congratulations.

Although he does not prefer to shoot art films like Yu Nan, Gao Fei has always respected these people in his heart.

Commercial films are certainly more popular with the public, but this does not mean that there are no tears under laughter.

If everyone does not pay attention to the suffering of the people at the bottom, then they will really live silently and die without a trace, as if they have never been in this world.

And this is undoubtedly tragic.

Maybe it's because he's been suppressed for too long, but after taking the stage, Wang Xiaoshuai's mood is obviously quite excited. When he received the silver bear from Fadiane Kruger, he couldn't help but kiss the trophy excitedly.

In his acceptance speech, this Wang Fatzi bluntly said that the domestic film environment is difficult, and he sincerely hopes that his film can get a good box office in China.

After hearing these words, Ning Hao's face in the audience immediately changed.

Immediately, Ning Hao couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and said:

He still couldn't change his temper...... Alas, why bother! ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but nod helplessly.

Since some things are said not only have no effect in the slightest, but can only bring trouble, then why bother saying them.

However, if Wang Fatzi listens to persuasion, then he will not be Wang Fatzi.

And after some cheers, the awards on the stage continued.

Soon several other awards were also announced.

The award for Best Film Debut went to the film "The Park and the Hotel of Love" from the United States;

The Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, commonly known as the Best Score Award, was awarded to the British film Johnny Greenwood for his outstanding performance in "Blood is Coming".

As for the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress, that is, this year's Berlin Actress, it was won by actress Sally Hawkins from the United Kingdom.

When the judges said this, the crew of "No Man's Land" couldn't help but sigh.

Even Yu Nan, who has been calm since the beginning of the award ceremony, can hardly hide his disappointment at this moment.

After all, this may be the closest she's ever been to a Berlin actress.

Not only her, but even Gao Fei and others didn't expect that Yu Nan, who had two movies shortlisted at the same time, would fail like this.

You must know that before participating in the closing ceremony, after Ning Hao, Gao Fei and others summed it up over and over again in the hotel, they all felt that among the several nominations for "No Man's Land" this time, Yu Nan's Best Actress had the greatest chance of winning the award.

It's just that no matter how sorry they are, missing it is missing it.

And when they saw Shu Qi walking on the stage with the envelope of the best actor, Huang Bo and the others couldn't help but feel nervous, and Ning Hao couldn't help but whisper to Gao Fei in a dumb voice:

"Boss Gao, hurry up, cheer up, maybe you have hope this time."

In fact, Ning Hao was right.

According to international practice, major international film festivals used to have judges of the same nationality as the winners to present awards.

So sometimes, as long as you see who the judges are at the awards ceremony, then you can probably guess the result.

It's just a pity that this Berlin Film Festival was an accident.

Who let two judges skip the class before the festival starts, so the remaining six judges have to work harder.

It's like Shu Qi, who just presented the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film to the Romanian film "A Good Day for Swimming".

Therefore, when he saw Shu Qi appear, Gao Fei became even more nervous.

Although his face seemed expressionless, the joints of his clenched fists were already a little pale.

At the same time, Shu Qi on the stage slowly opened the envelope, and finally said with a smile:

The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor was ...... "No Man's Land" - Gao Fei! ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei's heart suddenly welled up with a burst of ecstasy.

But after all, he still pretended to be used to it, so even though he wanted to look up to the sky and smile in his heart, Gao Fei still barely suppressed the impulse in his heart after taking a few quick and deep breaths, and forced himself to pretend to be light-hearted.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao immediately smiled and punched him in the shoulder, and joked:

"Young ~ At this time, don't forget to manage your expressions? You're ruthless! ”

But after all, he also sincerely hugged Goofy and congratulated him on winning the award.

Seeing this, Gao Fei's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

And when he and several main creators of "No Man's Land" hugged one by one, Gao Fei's brain finally regained a trace of calm.

It's just that although he calmed down, Han Li in the seat seemed to be halfway drugged, and his face was so red that he trembled unconsciously in the seat.

Looking at her hands that were trembling subconsciously, Gao Fei hurriedly told Xing Na to help take care of it, and then walked calmly onto the podium.

On the podium, when Gao Fei approached, Shu Qi first took the initiative to gently hug him, and then praised him sincerely:

"Congratulations, your performance was amazing!"

However, because the stage is not a place to greet each other, she gave up her position to Gao Fei after a few simple words.

And looking at the faces of different complexions in the audience, those envious eyes, Gao Fei suddenly calmed down after taking a deep breath.

After all, compared with the grand court meeting in the Zichen Palace, the pomp and circumstance of the Berlin Film Festival is still poor.

Not only that, but thinking of this, Gao Fei became more and more calm.

Because although he is just a false name, how to say it made many barbarians present speechless.

Compared with him, the name of the emperor of the Zhao official family may not be as beautiful as him.

So then Ning Hao was shocked to see that Gao Fei actually laughed and teased him with a relaxed smile in front of filmmakers from all over the world

"As is customary, please allow me to thank the handsome director of this film, Ning Hao, although ...... I don't think so. ”

As soon as these words came out, both the audience and the judges couldn't help laughing.

Even those who lost the candidates couldn't help but be impressed by Goofy's relaxed and natural state and humorous performance at the moment.

After all, empathy, they don't think they can do it so naturally.

Ning Hao, who was just ridiculed by Gao Fei, couldn't help but roll his eyes speechlessly.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but laugh.

And on the podium, as the atmosphere of the Palais de la Cinema gradually became more relaxed, Goofy began to get down to business.

However, when Gao Fei finished saying Han Li's speech prepared in advance and was about to go down, he suddenly felt something.

So I saw him raise the actor trophy in his hand towards the camera with high spirits, and smiled confidently:

"It's my first time at the Berlinale and it's the first time I've stood on the podium...... I am sure that this will not be the last! ”

"I'll come again!"

After saying this pretending to be forced, Gao Fei nodded with satisfaction.

After all, this is his high office!

How can he keep a low profile when he is in such a limelight!

Although Han Li's testimonial just now was good, it was really too formal, and it didn't show his demeanor at all.

And when he saw Gao Fei walking off the stage with easy steps, his casual expression seemed as if he had just gone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Ning Hao, Huang Bo and the others were speechless for a moment.

For a while, they didn't know whether to praise Gao Fei for having the style of a general, or whether to say that he had no heart or lungs.

It's just that Goofy doesn't have this consciousness at all. When he found that Han Li's eyes were fixed on the trophy, Gao Fei casually handed her the silver bear.

Looking at his casual appearance, Han Li hurriedly took the initiative to stretch out her hands to catch it, and then glared at him angrily.

It seems that in her eyes, the current actor trophy is the protagonist, and Gao Fei is so angry that she rolls her eyes helplessly.

And when the crew of "No Man's Land" was having a lot of joy, the awards on stage were still continuing.

Similarly, Paul Thomas Anderson, a young American director born in the 70s, successfully won the Best Director Award with "Blood is Coming".

By the way, this guy also won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago, as if he was a great emperor...... (⊙o⊙)… No, there is a big guide.

So when he accepted the award, Gao Fei took a second look.

It's a pity that Paul is obviously not as angry as Goofy, so the two of them looked at each other for a while...... There were no calls, let alone sympathy.

After him, the Grand Jury Prize was won by Errol Morris for "Standard Procedure".

But what's interesting is that this "Standard Process" is not only a documentary, but also like "Fahrenheit 911" a few years ago, it is also poking at Lao Mei's heart and lifting Lao Mei's old foundation.

Because this war documentary mainly investigates the human rights scandal in Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, revealing the unspeakable secrets behind the so-called "war on terror".

It can be said that the United States has completely exposed its face of "human rights" and anti-"human rights".

To be honest, in a way, Errol Morris should be regarded as a "traitor".

It's just that the filmmakers present, whether Americans or other countries, don't care about this.

It can be seen from this that for both American nationals and foreigners, scolding the US government has become a kind of political correctness.

I have to say that the reality is really more absurd than the movie!

It's just that when Goofy thinks that there are enough things happening tonight,

Old man Costa was old and played tricks on the podium again.

Because, he awarded the final award, the Golden Bear Award, to the Brazilian film "Elite Troops".

As soon as these words came out, Ning Haodang wanted to say something even though his mouth was slightly open, but after opening and closing a few times, he still shook his head a little dejectedly.

And the other filmmakers in the audience also unconsciously let out a burst of restlessness.

Not only because the film was released in Brazil on August 17, 2007, but it was an exception to be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival.

is even more because in the eyes of many filmmakers, the high-grossing "Elite Troops" is more like a commercial film than an art film in terms of technique.

In short, they think that "Elite Troops" is not artistic enough to afford the honor of the Golden Bear.

It was just a remark from Old Man Costa that made many people quiet.

"In my opinion...... was obstructed by the police before the screening; gangster sabotage; and movies about kidnappings, raids, and other encounters – enough to take on any honor! ”

After that, Mr. Costa firmly put the golden bear in the hands of the director of "Elite Troops", José Patilja.

So after a moment of silence, the huge movie palace finally burst into applause. Ning Hao also applauded with a complicated face.

It's just that no matter how unwilling he is, after listening to the reasons for Old Man Costa's selection, he can only admit it.

After all, the director of the film, José Padilia, is indeed a ruthless person.

You must know that Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is known for its poor security.

Rio de Janeiro, the former capital of Brazil, has a large majority of its population in 70 slums controlled by violent drug gangs.

It is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Almost every day, heavily armed gangs engage in shootouts with the police, and almost every day innocent residents are shot and killed by stray bullets.

And in the movie, director Jose unabashedly filmed the corruption and depravity within the police in detail.

For example, collecting protection money, or reselling seized guns to gangsters.

And for the brutal bloodshed of the gangster drug dealers, José did not shy away from it at all.

It is said that at first José originally wanted to make a documentary, because his first film was a documentary. And "Elite Troops" is just his second film.

It was only as the interview deepened that José was soon threatened with death.

There are those from the gang, and there are those from the police.

Therefore, José had to give up the idea of making a documentary and express it in a more euphemistic form.

However, "Elite Troops", which is full of bloody and violent scenes, still makes many people unbearable and even physically uncomfortable.

Even though, they know that reality is more cruel than the movie......
