"Escape" and "Blood Plum" have now become classics, but at the time, they were strangled because of Mr. Zhuang's qualifications. At the same time, these two films were criticized and slandered at the same time as Xia Xia.
Yu suffers less.
You know, the Internet at that time was far less developed than it is now. If it were changed now, it might be exposed online by the global film and television industry!
Although many movies later were nominated, to be honest, they were not as good as those two!
The old man is getting older and older. Although his directing skills are particularly good, he cannot compare with his peak period when he was forty or fifty years old.
This has been a hurdle that Mr. Zhuang has faced for a long time, and it has only been in the past few years that he has slowly looked away from it.
And this time, even though it was said that, it still failed to win the [Berlin Film Golden Bear Award].
But the [Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement Honors] is so important that you cannot give in too much!
Not every session will be selected, but they are very valuable!
The major theater crews also entered the theater one after another, and Xia Yu's eyes moved accordingly.
The main responsibility falls on the crews of the twenty-four films that were shortlisted for the main competition unit.
The first thing she saw was, of course, "The Goddess of Literature and Art Fu Yijun". She had seen the movie and it was indeed well shot. It might be nominated, but it was unlikely that she would win the "Best Actress" award. She was more optimistic about it.
Gloria from "Bachelor Party".
As for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, she is optimistic about the two films "Adult Baby" and "The Life of a Garage Dealer."
But it depends on the jury.
As the lights in the venue dimmed, it heralded that the award ceremony was about to begin;
The person who presided over the closing ceremony of this Berlin Film Festival was a white beauty with blond hair and blue eyes. She is a well-known actress in Berlin. Her playful humor and sexual sensibility can be found in her;
After the opening remarks, the members of the jury were introduced——
This year’s jury members cannot be said to be the best in history, but they are definitely filled with the word “authority”;
The chairman of the jury, Zhuang He, is a leading director and screenwriter in the Chinese film and television industry;
In the latest ranking of the "Global Top 100 Movies", the director's films, "Escape" ranked 13th, and "Blood Plum" ranked second - this is not just a Chinese film, but also a highlight in global film history!
He has directed and participated in fourteen films at three major European film festivals. Among them, "Escape" and "Blood Plum" both won the Best Film and Best Director in Venice that year - [Best Film] [Best Director]
There were a total of thirty-one nominations!
The remaining six people are also important figures in the film and television circles of various countries, including directors, actors, and screenwriters!
And they all have extremely high reputations around the world and are highly recognized by the global film and television industry!
Five men and two women—one from Asia, three from Europe, two from North America, and one from Africa;
We can’t all say that they are old in terms of age. We can only say that their faces are no longer young, but they still exude the charm of their age; even gray hair, a beard, or even a big belly, it does not damage their popularity among fans.
Position in mind!
If you pick anyone at random, they are all people who have won at least one of the best awards in the three major film festivals.
They are all important members that cannot be ignored in the global film and television circles!
Of course, this is talking about the male judges. The female jury members: one is a black female director and screenwriter, forty-seven years old, with dreadlocks, but has an explosive figure and is full of vitality; the other is a white man, also two
A member of the Million Dollar Club, she has won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival once and been nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards five times. She is fifty-one years old this year and is still stunning!
The camera showed six people, and all six people greeted the audience and the global audience with various gestures——
In the end, it fell on Mr. Zhuang. The old man was true. He didn't care about the eyes of the world. Compared with the beautiful country, he was obviously more willing to accept the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Speaking in a London accent, he briefly told the details and what happened these days.
Some "acceptance results" praised some outstanding, new-generation actors. He talks seriously, is not angry and self-defeating, but does not make people feel impatient——
Since he is a native of the country, as the chairman of the jury, he can be regarded as half of the "home field". Regarding "Sparrow", Fu Yijun and the entire team also mentioned it, which can be regarded as a support for outstanding juniors in the domestic film and television industry.
"Chinese film and television is on the rise. I hope everyone can give this land of renaissance in the East more opportunities - to reveal more of its artistic, mysterious and majestic aspects!"
The Berlin Film Festival is more serious, unlike the domestic Academy Awards, which are chatty;
As soon as Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, the closing ceremony and awarding ceremony officially began.
In fact, not only the Berlin Film Festival, but also the three major film festivals have a lot of awards. First of all, there are six or seven various categories——
In addition to the "Main Competition Unit", there are also "Encounter Unit", "Short Film Competition Unit", "Panorama Unit", "Forum Unit", "Special Screening Unit" and "New Generation Unit". Once the awards are divided, there will be a large number of awards, all kinds of
.
Not to mention a dabbler like Meng Dong who couldn't understand it. Even Xia Yu, if he hadn't already memorized it and learned about these weird awards one by one, might have been confused, but Meng Dong summarized it well.
She looked scared and muttered:
"No wonder Director Zhuang has to go out early every morning for the past ten days. He and the foreign reviewers all get up at six or seven o'clock, rush to the screening room before eight o'clock, and finish at nine or ten o'clock in the evening.
, with such a large volume, how could the trial be completed without such hard work!"
Several people who listened couldn't help laughing.
Not only are there many awards, but there are also many award-winning movies and actors, which means that most of the time is spent awarding awards to these actors. It is no wonder that unlike other awards, various entertainment projects are also inserted, and the host has
Time to talk and talk!
Just the award presentation and the acceptance speeches by various big and small stars, screenwriters, directors, and other personnel consume a lot of time.
At the same time, there is another award that has attracted the attention of a few people, which is the equally famous "Queer Palm Award" at the Cannes Film Festival, the "Queer Lion Award" at the Venice Film Festival, and the "Teddy Bear Award" at the Berlin Film Festival - originally
Lao Dai also said that if it weren't for the fear of failing the review, all those wonderful scenes would be edited into the movie. If nothing else, it wouldn't be a problem to win these three awards in one fell swoop!
As the awards for the non-main competition units ended, the time came to 9:30 pm.
The main competition unit awards have finally begun to be announced.
The first one is [Special Award for Best Film Debut] for a war film.
The second was the [Best Film Debut Award] given to "Rocket Boys".
Secondly, the [Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award] "I Saw a Bear," a Maple Leaf Country film.
The [Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution] was awarded to the photographer of "The Cruel Etude of Youth".
And here we finally come to the point where we will win the [Silver Bear Award for Best Actress].
When the host held the letter in his hand, every actress in the twenty-four crew present held their hands. This was the only time in their lives for almost most of the people there. They may not have the chance to win this award again in the future.
an important award.
The host did not create a tense atmosphere, but announced the nomination with a smile——
When the name "Sparrow" Fu Yijun appeared, Xia Yu and his group also smiled and noticed the crew of "Sparrow". Fu Yijun was obviously a little excited, but kept a decent smile on his face!
But soon, she became disappointed.
The host quickly announced the winner of the [Best Actress Silver Bear Award], "..."Bachelor Party"·Gloria!"
For a moment, Xia Yu noticed that Fu Yijun had lost his composure. As the graceful girl stood up and came to the stage to accept the award with a smile on her face, the loss, injustice and grievance on Fu Yijun's face were very obvious. Even if the people around him comforted her,
Can't cover it up.
Xia Yu didn't mock, and quickly withdrew her gaze and looked towards the stage - to be honest, this was the reason why she didn't come to participate in the three major European film festivals during "Drawing Ground". She had long known that she was not qualified enough and her acting skills were absolutely lacking.
Not enough!
She may not be able to hold herself steady even if she pushes others away and pushes them back. After all, these are three big mountains.
Next came the [Silver Bear Award for Best Actor]. To be honest, even Fu Yijun couldn't win it. The competition was even more stressful for the [Actor Award]. Two other members of the "Sparrow" crew applied for the award.
It's even more difficult for male actors.
Sure enough, not only did he not get the chance, he was not even nominated. In the end, the "Silver Bear Award for Best Actor" was won by the leading actor of "The Life of a Garage Dealer", Muchigi, a Bosnian actor.
[Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay] This is also a fascinating award. Although Mr. Zhuang has not won the [Silver Bear Award for Best Director], Mr. Zhao Jinhong has won once in each of the three majors, establishing a solid foundation in one fell swoop.
He became the top screenwriter in China.
The [Silver Bear Award for Best Director] was finally won by the director of "The Roadkeeper at the End of the World"!
At this moment, Xia Yu didn't look at anyone else, such as the film director of "The Road Maintainer at the End of the World", which was attracting global attention at the moment. He looked at Mr. Zhuang, who was still smiling - she thought that the old man had reached such an age.
At this age, you should have really opened your eyes and reached peace with yourself, the world, awards, fame and fortune one by one.
But what she saw - emotion, loss, envy, and a flash of jealousy!
These emotions, if someone like Xia Yu didn't know the old man too well and paid close attention to him, would not be aware of it!
Xia Yu let out a long sigh, and Mrs. Zhuang heard it. Mrs. Zhuang also smiled with emotion.
"This is Lao Zhuang's lifelong pursuit. He has told me many times that he has been very lucky in his life and has won many awards, but I know that the one he wants to get most is still this one!"
To be honest, I watched so many actors come on stage to receive awards, give acceptance speeches, and state their difficulties or hardships... Xia Yu just smiled slightly at first, but slowly, her mentality began to change.
She seemed to be able to feel the charm of this podium all of a sudden. It was really sudden.
It was very sudden, maybe not too sudden, and her mood was a little unsettled and confused now - she slowly placed her palm on Mrs. Zhuang's hand. Mrs. Zhuang smiled and rubbed her palm with her own palm, wiping away the sweat inside.
Dry.
She said, "Lao and Zhuang are dying, and you, too. You have to take a few more to help us two old guys save some regrets!"
Therefore, Xia Yu still smiled, but there was a slightly different light in his eyes.
Because her shoulders seemed to be a little heavier - just a little bit heavier...
And here, in this closing awards ceremony, there are only the last two or three awards left;
[Jury Grand Prize Silver Bear] This is the second-largest award after the Golden Bear. This award is highly anticipated. One reason is that it is also a grand prize that many films cannot touch, but the other is that once nominated for this award
, basically missed the Golden Bear Award.
And when the host announced, "The winner of [Jury Grand Prize Silver Bear Award] is "Sparrow"!"
For a moment, Xia Yu could feel the complexity of the "Sparrow" crew!
But more than anything, I am happy.
Because the Golden Bear Award is too difficult to win.
And this award is already the highest award they can get!
Then came the biggest award of this film festival [Golden Bear Award for Best Film]. It was no surprise that one of Xia Yu’s two favorite awards was announced, and it was finally won by "Adult Baby"!
It can be said that this movie is the biggest winner at this year’s Berlin Film Festival!
The last award is the [Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement Honors].
When the award was announced, Xia Yu and Mrs. Zhuang were all sweating - until the host announced, "The person who won the [Lifetime Achievement Honorary Golden Bear Award] at this Berlin Film Festival is our jury chairman.
Sir, Director Zhuang He!"
All of a sudden, the impact of Zhuang He and the surrounding reviewers was projected on the big screen——
Because the old man had received the news a long time ago, of course, even if he had not received the news, the old man could not lose his composure. As always, he was neither humble nor overbearing. He sorted out his descriptions and walked to the award podium;
After the host's introduction, he held the trophy and the microphone and looked at the audience. Finally, his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhuang, Xia Yu and others in the back. Of course, he mainly looked at Mrs. Zhuang.
Both of them smiled knowingly, while Xia Yu gave an unusually playful thumbs up——
The meaning couldn't be more clear.
My teacher is the best!
Then it was time for Mr. Zhuang to speak. He spoke concisely and concisely about his award, just a few words - [There is not enough time, the author scrawled, so I will leave it here for now, and I will add my speech tomorrow!]
After finishing his speech, the old man did not step down immediately. It was the last award, so everyone was not in a hurry.
And now that they are here, this opportunity does not come often. Mr. Zhuang has never been a person who "pretends for public benefit for personal gain", but this time, he was really shameless and announced his students to the world. He said this in English:
(Of course, I will automatically translate this English into Chinese for you, dog-headed funny.jpg)
"We in China have various interpretations of age. I am now sixty-three, past my sixties, and nearly seventy years old - after nearly twenty years, at this age, I have accepted the last closed disciple. She is still very young.
But I think many people are still impressed by a movie called "Restrict One" that they watched at the Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival two years ago. She once played the role of Lin Dan and won the best award.
Nominated for the leading actress, this time I filmed "Jinling Festival", in which she also played the role of the heroine Zhao Yumo - I am old and unable to succeed, but I think, I also hope, I believe even more, she will definitely
She can stand on my shoulders, lift China up for me, and replace herself, and walk a farther and more exciting road of light and shadow!"
