141, 21 years old! Golden Bear Award! Youngest winner ever!
Time came to the 20th in the blink of an eye.
The red carpet of the 55th Berlinale will start at 2 p.m., when the participating films, guests, and producers of each unit module will appear on the red carpet.
Different from China, the participating films of the Berlin Film Festival are almost the sum of the four major film festivals in China in a single year, Golden Horse, Golden Statue, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and the number is very large!
Because "No Man's Land" is the main competition unit work, Chen Fei's appearance is arranged in the second half.
The "Peacock" crew was ahead of them.
In the lobby of the hotel, a group of directors and actors from China gathered together, waiting for the vehicles arranged by the organizers.
Chen Fei, Gu Changwei, and Han Sanping stood together, chatting, and all had smiles on their faces.
As the distributor of the two films "No Man's Land" and "Peacock", Mr. Han is in a very good mood.
Although I didn't buy any very good films in Berlin this time, being able to witness Chen Fei and Gu Changwei become famous is also good news for China Film.
Berlin's award will inevitably stimulate the domestic box office, and as a distributor, China Film can also benefit from it.
"Haha, Director Chen, congratulations in advance on winning the grand prize."
Gu Changwei didn't know where he learned the news that the organizer had called Chen Fei, and started to congratulate him in advance.
"I also wish Director Gu can win the grand prize." Chen Fei responded with a smile.
While speaking, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Jingchu who was standing on the side.
A bandeau dress with a peacock-like pattern embroidered on it is very appropriate for the occasion and has a dignified and elegant feeling.
But the fullness of the pair of high props on the upper body has formed a strong contrast temptation.
Compared with this, Wang Luodan is much more ordinary.
Although she is also wearing a dress, her sexy figure is very proud, but she is slightly inferior in terms of temperament.
"Director Chen, if there is a suitable role in the future, remember to call me!"
Zhang Jingchu gestured, and her eyes seemed to have pulled out a sticky thread......
"Hmph, shameless! Enjoy the last splendour! Wang Luodan complained in his heart, turned around and went to the other side.
This woman is very disgusting, hooking up with people everywhere, no wonder so many directors and wives in the circle want to join forces to ban her!
…
The car arranged by the organizer soon arrived at the door of the hotel.
Under the arrangement of the staff, the crew members of both sides took business vehicles to the closing ceremony venue.
After waiting outside the red carpet area for almost ten minutes, the crew of "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky" took the lead on the red carpet.
The process of walking the red carpet is not much different from that in China, with the introduction of the on-site host, the interview with reporters, and the final signing of the entrance.
After waiting for a while, the crew of "Peacock" also walked on the red carpet.
Zhang Jingchu smiled like a flower, held Gu Changwei's arm, and generously waved to the fans and cameras on both sides of the red carpet.
A domestic reporter stopped the two, and while interviewing, the camera shutter flashed non-stop.
Seeing that Gu Changwei did not shy away from all kinds of intimate interactions with Zhang Jingchu, Chen Fei was secretly speechless.
He suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard before, Director Gu and his wife seemed to only have the name of husband and wife, and there was no fact of husband and wife.
To put it simply, these two have been playing their own games since very early on, and they have never been in touch with each other.
Judging from the current situation, this rumor is probably true.
A muttering voice suddenly came from his ear: "Hmph, I don't know, I still think she is Mrs. Gu Dao, she is so close to the husband of someone else, and she doesn't pay attention to the influence." ”
Chen Fei turned his head to take a look, and saw that Wang Luodan's face was full of indignation, as if he was fighting for Mrs. Gu Dao.
Several people in the car did not reply.
After all, they are all men, and they can't participate in this topic.
Chen Fei smiled and ignored it, just looking forward to it in his heart, hoping that Wang Luodan would not be assimilated by this big dye vat in the future.
Outside the car, the staff was already reminding them to get ready for the game.
Several people got out of the car and came to the waiting area, looking at both sides of the red carpet excitedly while sorting out their clothes.
It's the Berlin Film Festival!
If it weren't for Chen Fei, I'm afraid they would never have had the opportunity to participate in such a top international film festival in their lives.
After a while, as the crew of "Peacock" walked to the gate of the venue, the host of the scene opened a new introduction,
"Next, let's welcome the film crew "No Man's Land" from China, they are the director and male protagonist FeiChen, and the female protagonist LuoDan Wang ......"
Bang Bang Bang!
The applause at the scene was thunderous, and the fans on both sides suddenly burst into extremely violent cheers!
The shouts even reached the venue, causing many directors and actors to be surprised.
And the crews waiting for the stage in the waiting area have set their sights on the red carpet.
“《No Man‘s Land》? FeiChen? Is this a very famous director in Huaxia? ”
"Why is his cheers so high? How come I haven't heard of this director? ”
"I've seen No Man's Land, and it's great!"
"This is also a shortlisted film, and it will compete with us on the same stage."
"I'm looking forward to ......"
At the entrance, Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu, who were about to enter the venue, turned around in disbelief.
Looking at the fanatical cheers of the foreigners on both sides of the red carpet, the two subconsciously glanced at each other and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Is Director Chen so popular in Berlin?" Gu Changwei was a little envious, he didn't receive such courtesy just now.
"Maybe there's something special about him!"
Zhang Jingchu's pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she looked at Chen Fei with a little more expectation.
She clearly knows her current situation, and after "Peacock", she will be very difficult in the mainland!
But she has already found a way out, and director Er Dongsheng of Hong Kong Island has reserved a role for her, which will be her best way out.
Liu Dehua and Wu Yan...... The duo will ensure that her popularity continues in recent years.
She will definitely return to the mainland, and with her means, it will not be difficult at all.
And Chen Fei is her latest target!
Young, talented, 100 million yuan box office commercial film director, has not yet started a family......
This gave her the best opportunity!
……
Walking on the red carpet, Chen Fei had a bright smile on his face, waving his hands enthusiastically to the left and right.
He knew very well that only one-third of these people were cheering for his films, and the remaining two-thirds were actually here for the "God of Skateboarding"!
Unsurprisingly, the challenge was posted online and earned him a legion of fans.
When these people learned that he had come to Berlin to participate in the festival, they spontaneously came to encourage him, cheer him, and congratulate him on winning the award.
"Director Chen, look here, take a pose."
The domestic media did not skimp on the film in their hands, and the shutter crackled non-stop.
Thanks to Chen Fei's professional training, otherwise those flashes would have blinded his eyes!
In front of the autograph curtain, the host made a brief interview: "I noticed that you are coming to Berlin for the first time, just like YiMouZhang back then.
Do you have enough confidence to win a Golden Bear trophy for this award? ”
Several people set their eyes on Chen Fei.
Before they came, they learned that the organizer had sent an invitation to Chen Fei, so they were full of confidence in winning the award tonight.
At this time, it is time to let out a bold statement!
Chen Fei did not disappoint them, took the microphone, and said the strongest words in a very relaxed tone.
"It's inevitable!"
In an instant, the cheers of the scene and the shutter of the cameras directly drowned out the entire red carpet area.
Since Chen Fei led the team to the Berlin Film Festival, this is the first time he has made such a bold declaration.
This kind of undisguised "arrogance" simply made the hearts of the reporters surging to listen!
……
The venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, is gradually filled.
Perhaps for the convenience of management, the three crews from Huaxia were arranged in the same area.
Chen Fei's left is "Peacock", while on the right is the crew of "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky".
In order not to be tied up and hyped by Zhang Jingchu again, Chen Fei deliberately changed seats with Wang Baoqiang, away from the scheming woman.
Huang Bo on the left and Wang Luo Dan on the right, this feeling is suddenly much more comfortable.
After waiting for almost an hour, the red carpet ceremony finally came to an official end.
As the doors of the venue closed, dazzling lights lit up the entire venue.
Brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, and the host walked on the stage to announce the official start of the closing ceremony of the 55th Berlin International Film Festival!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The applause rang out, and the huge noise seemed to completely overturn the top of the venue!
Without too many clichés, the awards ceremony began quickly.
Thousands of pairs of eyes stared directly at the big screen in the field, invariably glowing with anticipation.
Sensei said that the golden bear, even if it is just a silver bear, it is enough to blow it in this life.
The first to be promulgated was the non-competition unit, as well as the youth forum unit, and both awards were held by domestic directors.
Although it is not the main competition unit award, it is enough for them to be happy.
This was followed by various awards in the Panorama category, including Best Film, Best Short Film, and Children's Section.
Domestic, foreign, male director, female director, male actor, actress...... People from all over the world took the stage to take home these awards.
Before you know it, more than an hour has passed quietly.
When the host read the name of "Roland Emmerich", thousands of people at the scene were shocked!
The show is finally about to begin!
“everybody! Good evening, everyone! It's an honor for me to present these important awards! ”
On stage, Roland held the microphone and said quite seriously: "In the past few months, we have received excellent films from all over the world.
We selected 23 of the best films, and after the last 10 days of voting, we have decided who will win each award.
Tonight, these outstanding films will determine their attribution, so stay tuned......"
Chen Fei subconsciously glanced left and right, and saw that Gu Changwei and Cai Mingliang were both sitting up straight at this time, and they all looked like they were waiting for the "trial".
This is a typical person shouting "I love literature and art, I don't care about the box office", but in my heart I want to win the award more than anyone else.
The box office failure is not terrible, and the copyright income is enough to eat.
That's how Director Gu's courtyard house in Kyoto came about.
…
The awards have officially begun.
The first is the Blue Angel Award for Best European Film, which should be regarded as a kind of self-retention award for Europe, which was taken away by a film called "Heaven at This Time".
This is a crime film, the plot is very bold, and it belongs to the kind that is absolutely impossible to release in China.
This was followed by the award for Best Film Music, which was taken away by a film called "Heartbeat Stopped".
The third award is a bit exciting.
Alfred Bauer Award!
Although this is an encouraging award, it also has a good gold content, and "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou won this award in 03.
In everyone's expectation, Roland on the stage raised the microphone and shouted: "Congratulations on "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky", MingLiangCai! ”
Rumble!
There was thunderous applause at the scene, Chen Fei's eyes were shining, and he turned his head to look to the right.
The director of Wanwan had a somewhat complicated expression.
He actually doesn't want this award, there is too much water in it, and his goal has always been the best director, and even the Golden Bear.
But everyone has awarded it, so he can't help but receive it, right?
…
The acceptance speech ringing in his ears was very sincere, and Chen Fei was excited when he heard it.
Receiving a prize is like doing elimination, and after those small awards are taken away by others, the rest is naturally the grand prize!
On stage, Roland didn't say half a word of nonsense, and directly began to announce the next award.
"The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress was Julia Yates for "Hope and Resistance", let's congratulate this lucky and hard-working girl!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The audience applauded, and Chen Fei subconsciously set his eyes on Zhang Jingchu.
As expected, the smile on the woman's face froze directly.
Clearly, the missed award shattered one of the most important aspects of her plan!
Losing the Best Actress Award, even if "Peacock" can win the award, the blessing for her herself is not very ideal.
However, Wang Luodan, who was sitting next to Chen Fei, was full of indifference.
It's lucky enough to have a nomination, this is already the strongest one of her resumes, she didn't want to compete for this award with so many actresses.
Soon, the nomination for Best Actor appeared on the big screen.
Chen Fei raised his head and saw that "No Man's Land", which he directed and acted in, was among them, and the image of the thin lawyer looked simply miserable......
In so many films, all the actors died in the end, maybe there is only this one, right?
"The Silver Bear for Best Actor went to Lou Taylor Puree for "The Thumb Sucker," and let's congratulate the actor from New York City and New Jersey."
Thunderous applause!
The whole audience cheered.
However, at this time, the members of the crew of "Peacock" and "No Man's Land" all widened their eyes and their faces were full of shock!
Even Chen Fei himself couldn't help but get excited, and his hands were even trembling!
The award is certain, after all, the organizing committee has made a clear invitation call.
But now, with the announcement of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor, there are only three awards left.
And each one is a heavyweight award!
The Silver Bear for Best Director, the Silver Bear for Jury, and the Golden Bear for Best Picture!
At this moment, Chen Fei and Gu Changwei both held their breath together, staring at the big screen on the stage with their eyes!
After the actor finished his acceptance speech, Roland smiled and shouted: "The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Director is Mark Rossman's "Hope and Resistance"! ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the people sitting in front of him on the right stood up suddenly, and laughter resounded throughout the audience!
Born in Germany, he has a fanatical obsession with the Berlin Film Festival.
Now, with "Hope and Resistance", she not only won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress, but even won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director!
This wave is simply making a lot of money!
However, what he didn't notice was that behind his left, the two directors from Huaxia were tense at this time and all of them.
Golden Bear, Jury Silver Bear......
"Peacock", "No Man's Land", ......
Who will come out on top?
At this moment, the members of the two crews seemed to feel nervous, subconsciously suppressed their breathing, and waited for the final "final" moment!
The best director's speech of more than ten minutes actually felt like a year.
When Roland picked up the microphone again, Chen Fei suddenly found that the tension and crampedness in his heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Stepping on a horse, even the task of challenging life and death can be calmly faced, isn't it just a Golden Bear Award, what's there to be nervous about?
Just thinking about it, he subconsciously turned his head sideways, but saw that Gu Changwei's forehead was covered with dense sweat.
Obviously, although Director Gu is old, he still has a strong desire to win!
"The winner of the Jury Silver Bear Award at the 55th Berlin Film Festival is Chang WeiGu's "Peacock".
Win!
Golden Bear!
Didn't run away!
Chen Fei's eyes lit up!
But instead of cheering immediately, he held back the excitement in his heart.
Until the results are announced, everything is uncertain, and if something happens in the end, then the cheers now are likely to turn into "clowns" in the eyes of the media.
"Director Gu, congratulations on winning the grand prize."
Chen Fei stood up, hugged Gu Changwei who was passing by, and congratulated him at the same time.
Although he failed to win the Golden Bear, the smile on Gu Changwei's face was still very bright!
There is no moisture in the jury's Silver Bear Award, which is the highest recognition of "Peacock"!
"Thank you very much ......"
On the stage, Gu Changwei methodically told the words of thanks prepared in advance.
The cameras of the major media were aimed at him, and they did not skimp on the film, and the flash even completely lit up the entire stage.
And when he mentioned the heroine in the play, Zhang Jingchu, who was seated two seats next to Chen Fei, got up and smiled very elegantly at the camera.
This may be regarded as an encouragement to her failure to win the Silver Bear for Best Actress.
Soon, as Gu Changwei returned to his seat, Roland raised the microphone in his hand again.
Only this time he did not immediately announce the winner of the award, and said with some emotion: "When the voting results of the Golden Bear Award came out, I found for the first time that I seemed to be old. ”
Hearing this, thousands of pairs of eyes in the field looked at Roland suspiciously.
What does this mean?
He didn't explain, but raised the microphone and shouted: "The winner of the Golden Bear Best Film Award at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival is FeiChen's "No Man's Land".
I must add that he is the youngest winner of the Golden Bear since the Berlinale was founded!
He's from China! That country with 5,000 years of cultural history! He is only 21 years old this year!
Let's welcome him! Welcome to this wonderful young man! Take to the stage to claim the glory he has received! ”
Bang Bang Bang !!
In an instant, applause rang out from the audience!
As the spotlight fell on Chen Fei's head, thousands of people turned around at the same time, and their eyes full of surprise and shock fell directly on him!
21 years old! Golden Bear Award!
What is the concept of this pedal horse?
He created the myth of the Berlin International Film Festival since its inception!
The youngest Golden Bear winner in history!
The cold seat had already been rendered hot by the restless emotions, Chen Fei slowly got up, and hugged everyone on the left and right sides tightly.
"Congratulations, congratulations to Director Chen!"
Zhang Jingchu crossed two seats to greet her.
At this moment of excitement, Chen Fei didn't care about her careful thoughts, just a woman who tended to be inflammatory, and the identities and status of the two were no longer at the same level.
An ant was begging for mercy from an elephant, and when she was in a good mood, Chen Fei didn't mind giving her a smile.
When I walked to the podium, Roland's introduction to the film continued to ring:
"The film is quite Hollywood Western-style, the endless Gobi Desert exudes endless desolation, presenting a pessimistic and gloomy style, and the use of Chinese folk musical instruments deepens the exotic style, but also renders the greed of human nature very well.
And one of the things that really makes us unforgettable is the style of the image, the desolate land, the gray-faced characters, the dim tones, and even the rough texture of the picture like grit......"
The closer he got to the podium, the brighter the smile on Chen Fei's face.
When he saw Han Sanping, the other party's applause was very warm, and his face was full of shock!
He saw several European and Asian filmmakers who had approached him, their faces tangled, as if they were thinking about how much money should be added to Chen Fei to buy the rights.
He saw that Romero Otero from Universal Pictures.
While looking at each other, the other party's face was full of bitterness.
At this moment, the smile on Chen Fei's face became brighter and brighter!
$3 million?
I'm going to go to Grandma's!
Less than $10 million is not negotiable!
