Chapter 619: Another Best Director

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

There was a round of applause, Marit and James finished speaking, and the awards party entered the real awards session.

At the beginning, of course, there are small awards, such as best film, best cinematography, best screenplay, etc.

A number of small prizes were handed out before it was the turn of the main unit.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was first awarded, which was presented to the French director Alain Brown. Renai.

Aaron received the trophy with great joy, kissed it one after another, and then held it high as if he were raising a flag.

"I'm very happy to receive this award, and I'm really grateful to the Berlinale for your recognition."

"At the same time, I would like to thank the outstanding filmmakers of this film festival, the works you brought are very wonderful, especially several Chinese directors, "White Sun Flame", "Tuina", "Dalian by the Sea", I have watched them all, I am very moved, thank you again.

Finally, I hope that the Berlin Film Festival will get better and better, and there will be so many excellent films in the future. ”

The words fell, and Aaron walked off the stage with applause.

Lu Han had been applauding obediently, but at this time he couldn't help but say: "Director, I mentioned "Dalian by the Sea" for the second time tonight, and the reputation of this movie is really good." ”

The stage is brightly lit, but the audience is much darker.

Lu Han's words are very good, but the trophy has not arrived, and everything is still unknown.

Li Shengyao suppressed his smile and said in a low voice: "Don't milk, we have to keep a low profile." ”

This was followed by other awards, including Best Film Debut Film, Best Screenplay, Best Artistic Contribution and so on.

"Tuina" won the Best Artistic Contribution Award.

After these less important awards, the heavyweight awards began.

There are five awards: the Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Film.

The first award was Best Actress.

The award went to Kuroki Hua from the island nation, and the winning movie was "A Little Home".

Kuroki Hua is very young, only twenty-three years old this year, and is a post-90s actress, but her talent is very good.

She is very good at playing some ordinary little people, placed in Huaxia, which is similar to Xiao Fangfang's acting school.

The starlight is average, but the strength is not to be said.

At this time, he won the award, stood on the stage, was full of bright light, and his originally medium-level appearance was particularly attractive.

Lu Han saw it and was envious.

He was the same age as Kuroki Hana.

Li Shengyao didn't envy him, he was more emotional.

In the Chinese film industry, the talent of actresses born in the 90s and 00s is really average, and when he crosses, no one has won the Best Actress Award at the three major European film festivals.

is like Zhou Dongyu, who is the strongest post-90s generation in the film industry.

However, she is actually very restricted, and she can only act in some painful youth movies.

At this moment, Li Shengyao felt that Zhang Songwen beside him was holding his breath, and he didn't dare to breathe at all.

Zhang Songwen has paid a lot in "Dalian by the Sea" and has great expectations.

If you don't win the prize, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.

Li Shengyao patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, we focus on participation." ”

Participation is a, who doesn't want to win an award?

But how can you comfort yourself if you don't say that?

Zhang Songwen didn't hear Li Shengyao's words at all, and he responded to Li Shengyao, but his body was still tense, holding his breath, and people who didn't know thought he was Lao Wang hiding in the closet.

At this time, the director Richard from the beautiful country. Linklater stepped onto the stage, unfolded the envelope, and smiled.

The audience was originally nervous, and when they heard his laughter, the big guys couldn't help but laugh along.

After a burst of inexplicable laughter.

Richard put away his smile and said slowly: "The best actor who won the 2014 Berlin Film Festival is Liao Fan...... Zhang Songwen. ”

Richard's pronunciation of the names of the Chinese people is still a little weird.

But everyone heard it clearly, there are two names.

One Liao Fan, one Zhang Songwen.

Liao Fan reacted quickly, quickly stood up, and then turned around and waved at Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen came back to his senses at this time, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, he covered his mouth with his right hand, and then hugged Li Shengyao Luhan, and then quickly left and walked on the stage with Liao Fan.

Liao Fan looks like Zhu Yuanzhang in the history books, and his appearance is not up to standard.

However, he is a very charismatic actor, and when he stands on the stage, he has his own aura.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Songwen is much more plain, he is like the kind of person in our life who suddenly gets honors, he is very excited, his speech is incoherent, and there are many people to thank.

"I would like to thank all the crew of "Dalian by the Sea", including the field workers, actors, and director Lee Shengyao, all of whom have given me indispensable help, especially director Lee Shengyao, who invited me to act in the film and gave me the greatest help.

I want to thank you, I really want to thank you. ”

"I would also like to thank my family for their support along the way......"

Zhang Songwen said a lot, and after finishing speaking, he still wiped his tears on the stage.

It wasn't until the audience erupted in warm applause that Zhang Songwen was better.

Liao Fan then returned to the audience with Zhang Songwen.

Next up is the presentation of the Best Director award.

The award was presented by the director of the National University, Edward. Berger, who, like previous award presenters, was holding an envelope.

Edward was convinced, then frowned.

"Oh guys, this guy is definitely going to be a legendary director in the film industry, I thought he was here for a tour, but I didn't expect him to come here to win the award."

The on-site director quickly locked the camera on Li Shengyao, Diao Yinan, as well as Wes Anderson, and Lou Ye.

On the big screen behind Ed, shots of these four people are shown.

The audience erupted in a round of applause. Anderson didn't have a good time breaking through this time.

Edward nodded, "It's one of them." ”

The audience burst into even more enthusiastic applause.

Edward then said slowly: "Won the best director at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival - Lee Shengyao. ”

The voice fell, and loud applause rang out.

Li Shengyao himself didn't expect to win the award.

He immediately got up, and then strode onto the stage under the envious eyes of everyone.

He only won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival last year, and he won Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival this year, which is a great win.

Edward continued: "Lee's directing skills have reached the best level, and 'Dalian by the Sea' is so complete that you can hardly fault it.

This is a movie that can be used as a textbook for newcomers. ”

Lee stepped onto the stage, hugged Edward softly, and then received the trophy.

Like winning the award at the Venice Film Festival, he was more of a surprise, an unexpected reward.

He also thought that it would be difficult for him to win awards, but he didn't expect two films to win two Best Director awards.

Winning Best Director at the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival is a great achievement.

He took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Thank you very much to the judges of the Berlinale for your recognition.

I would also like to thank all the members of the production team of "Dalian by the Sea" for working with me.

Please believe that this is just the beginning, and I will definitely come to the Berlinale with even better works in the future. ”

After the words fell, Li Shengyao walked off the stage with the trophy.

He then hugged Lu Han and Zhang Songwen, and then sat down under the eager eyes of everyone.

Next up was the presentation of the Grand Jury Prize, which was the second best film of the festival. Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel is included.

Finally, there is the Golden Bear Award for this year's film festival, which is the best film.

Harrison, a legendary superstar from the beautiful country. Ford presented the award, and he quickly read out "White Sun Flames".

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Li Shengyao applauded warmly, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, this year's Berlin Film Festival came to a successful conclusion, and three Chinese-language films competed in the Berlin Film Festival, and all of them won awards.

Diao Yinan's "Flame of the Day" won the best film, Li Shengyao's "Dalian by the Sea" helped him win the best director, and Lou Ye's "Tuina" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Artistic Contribution.

In addition, Liao Fan and Zhang Songwen have double yolks, and the two shared the best actor together.

The biggest winner of this session is definitely Chinese films.

And Li Shengyao has been worried about whether his arrival will affect Diao Yinan and Lou Ye's luck in winning awards.

Now it seems that it will not be affected.

"Tuina" and "White Sun Flame" are good enough, and neither movie has been affected.

It can be said that the current result is the best result that Lee Shengyao can imagine.

The awards party ended quickly.

All the actors, producers, directors and judges were transferred to the Hengluo Grand Hotel in Berlin, where they will have a celebratory banquet.

Li Shengyao got up and hugged Diao Yinan and Lou Ye.

Diao Yinan said in a somewhat jealous tone: "Director Li, you are too powerful, two golden palms, two best directors, you are really good." ”

Lou Ye didn't answer, but looked at Li Shengyao's gaze, full of envy.

Li Shengyao smiled, "It's really a fluke, good luck." ”

Seeing this, Diao Yinan felt that Li Shengyao was a bit Versailles.

But people have this qualification.

"Let's go, tonight, let's celebrate."

Diao Yinan and Lou Ye are both in their forties, and they can be regarded as Mesozoic directors in the mainland, and they are relatively close to Li Shengyao.

So the three of them went to Hengluo Hotel together.

At this time, the weather is cold, so it is naturally impossible to celebrate outdoors, but to enter the eighth floor of the hotel.

Li Shengyao, Lou Ye, and Diao Yinan came to the banquet hall, and the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

Lou Ye has a bit of an otaku attribute, and he bowed his head slightly.

Diao Yinan was very happy, he didn't avoid the eyes of others, he raised his eyes to look at others, his eyes were blazing, and he was very sharp.

Only Li Shengyao, with a calm gaze and a shallow smile, is like a battle-hardened general.

won two Palme d'Or and won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival.

Now that he has won the best director at the Berlin Film Festival, there is really no need to be excited.

"Diao, Li, Lou, let's talk a few words together, and let the big guy see the secret of your success."

Diao Yinan was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao took the lead on the temporary small stage, and then talked about some filming experience of "Dalian by the Sea".

He was still the same as before, so calm, so natural.

Diao Yinan and Lou Ye stood under the stage and looked at Li Shengyao quietly.

Diao Yinan at this time can be regarded as having a better understanding of Li Shengyao.

Not to mention the film technology, let's just say that this strategic determination and emotional stability are rare in the entire director circle.

In the past, he always thought that Li Shengyao was so young and won the award, he should be very excited.

This time, I understand that Director Li's level is higher than that of ordinary directors.

He had a feeling that Li Shengyao could still win the award, and it would still be the same in the future, with a breezy face.

After Li Shengyao finished speaking, Diao Yinan and Lou Ye went up one after another to tell their experiences.

When the three of them came down, the actors and directors on the scene immediately surrounded them.

Among them, the most concerned is not Diao Yinan, who won the Golden Bear Award, but Li Shengyao.

At this time, the actors around Li Shengyao are really three circles inside and three circles outside, and there are a lot of circles.

Even Hei Muhua, who had just won the Best Actress, came to Li Shengyao with a humble face, "Li Jun, congratulations on winning the Best Director, I like your movie very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Lee had won the Palme d'Or twice in a row at Cannes, but he later felt that it was impossible to win the best film again.

So he filmed "Dalian by the Sea", "Three Billboards", and "La La Land".

When Li Shengyao was interviewed, he said that he wanted to win a few more actors.

Needless to say, Zhang Manyu has the top strength and does not need Li Shengyao.

And before Zhang Songwen acted in "Dalian by the Sea", he was really a sixth- or seventh-tier young actor.

Now that he has won the best actor, Li Shengyao is absolutely indispensable.

Lee Shengyao fulfilled his previous words.

Who doesn't want to cooperate with Director Li, such a big director is more precious than a panda.

"Miss Kuroki, there will definitely be a chance to cooperate in the future."

It's a pity that Kuroki Hua has no problem with his acting skills, but the island country is now in a serious decline in films, and there are few live-action movies all year round, and excellent actors can't get experience.

After Kurokihua, other actors introduced themselves to Li Shengyao one after another.

Li Shengyao was very enthusiastic and seemed very generous.

Although the actors know that their current words cannot be taken seriously, maybe tomorrow morning, Lee Shengyao will forget his current promise, but they are still happy.

There are also people who want to take photos with Li Shengyao.

Of course, in addition to the more normal touting group photos, there are also people who stuff notes for him.

Mr. Lee's pockets soon filled his pockets with seven slips of paper filled with phone numbers.

There are France, deliberately long, and there are from Nigeria.

"Director Li, congratulations, I finished watching "Dalian by the Sea" that day, and I have a feeling that you will definitely win the award."

Gui Lunmei, who had short hair and was wearing a backless outfit, came over.

She was wearing a blue dress with perfume on her body, and she came to Li Shengyao, which was very fragrant.

Li Shengyao politely said a few words.

Just when he thought Gui Lunmei would leave, Gui Lunmei stuffed a small note into Li Shengyao's hand and whispered, "I'll wait for your call." ”

Lu Xiaoyu waiting for my call?

Do you want to rush?

Li Shengyao was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was relieved after winning the award, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

He has some inclination to want indulgence.

But then he thought of Chen Hao and Dong Xuan in Yanjing, and he planned to endure it, and after returning to China, he would talk about life with his own woman.
