The Jury Award for Best Short Film was awarded to "Intelligent Times" by Swiss young director Ford Grenci.
The short twenty-minute video shows the future super-tech world in the form of animation. When people wake up, they all rely on smart machines to get up, wash up, and go to work using maglev cars. All foundries use machine workers.
The world has turned metallic. All smart products are based on serving human beings. People and smart robots live in harmony and peace. Until the end of the film, the scene changes and the robots with empty eyes suddenly grin. Many robots are walking in the middle of the night.
The audience and judges were slightly shocked when they gathered in a low-rise air-raid shelter to hold a counterattack on humanity plan meeting.
The first Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2001 was born.
Li Qing had watched this film, and even he couldn't help but become interested in Glensi. He knew that even if it were twenty years later, the scenes in the short film would not be possible, but in fifty years, one hundred years
Woolen cloth?
The world is changing, and things that seem absurd now may very well become reality in the near future. There are countless practical examples to illustrate this.
For example, driverless cars. If such an argument is made now, people will definitely treat it as a lunatic. If cars are driverless, how much harm will it do to social security?
But more than ten years later, such a car actually existed.
Li Qing knew that since the concept of maglev cars appeared in the short film, it must be a general trend for such products to be developed and used. After all, in Li Qing's previous life, maglev trains had been put into use, and a certain manufacturer had indeed released a maglev vehicle.
The concept car caused a sensation.
Therefore, what seems incredible or even ridiculous now may very well become a real product in the future, just like when the first model of an airplane came out, everyone laughed at it, but now airplanes are indeed commonplace.
It's a carrier.
After breaking through some technical bottlenecks, sci-fi-level vehicles like the maglev cars in "Intelligent Era" will most likely become a means of transportation for everyone in the future.
Of course, for Li Qing, these are still too far away, but the current winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Short Film, Glenn West, Li Qing finds it somewhat interesting.
He lowered his head and looked at the stack of business cards in his hand. One of them was Glenn West, who had just won the Silver Bear Award.
He was a little curious, was it worth spending so much money to produce such a short film?
Jiang Chendong learned about Li Qing's question and said with a smile: "Of course it's worth it. At least he made money after he won the Silver Bear Award. He is already a Silver Bear Award winner. Before today, even I had never heard of it.
Ford Glensee's name, but after today, his name will be resounding all over the world. Don't think that he is just making money at a loss. After today, Glensee's film appointments will be unimaginable, especially in his country.
, he will become a heroic figure. This is the charm of the three major international film festivals. You don’t have to appreciate it, but you must admit its value.”
Just as Jiang Chendong was chatting with Li Qing, the awards at the scene quickly awarded the Best New Actor and Actress awards, also known as the Newcomer Awards. The Best New Actor Award was won by the Indian ethics film "Onward"
Akshay, the supporting actor in "Train" won, and the Best New Actress Award was won by American newcomer Fiona.
The Best Newcomer Award is just an encouragement award and does not belong to the Golden Bear Award and Silver Bear Award. However, its value is unquestionable, and it also means that the Berlin Award has affirmed the actor's acting skills.
After the Newcomer Award, the organizer arranged for the symphony orchestra to perform a piece of music live on the stage. To everyone's surprise, this piano piece was the famous "World War II Rhapsody". It was no longer a monotonous piano piece.
, also added a variety of musical instruments such as euphonium, organ, saxophone, bass drum, etc., which is presented directly in front of people, like a musical feast.
The scene broke out into huge applause.
Jiang Chendong winked at Li Qing and clapped his hands excitedly.
At this moment, even Li Qing smiled a little. It seemed that the Berlin Film Festival really favored him...
After "World War II Rhapsody" ended, the atmosphere on the scene rose. The host Ophelia smiled and said: "The award that will be awarded next is very powerful, the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay, please present the award, Darwin Zimmerman
.”
When the name Zimmerman was read out, a figure walked out from behind the stage, and the guests at the scene did not hesitate to applaud and expressed all their enthusiasm.
"Good evening, I'm Zimmerman."
This is a half-century-old man with mixed black and white hair, and a silver-white beard.
His eyes are very bright. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a slight scar on the left side of his face, but it does not look very ferocious because his smile and eyes, overall, look kind and approachable.
This is Disney Pictures’ top master screenwriter, Darwin Zimmerman!
The movie scripts he has written in the thirty-seven years since his debut have grossed more than US$7 billion at the box office, making him the best screenwriter in Hollywood. With the gradual development of the film industry, it is only a matter of time before it reaches US$10 billion in his lifetime.
Moreover, Zimmerman has twice won the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay at the Berlin Film Festival, so it is only fitting that he should present the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay.
"Okay, I know you can't hold back your curiosity. Who will get this award?"
Zimmerman lowered his head to open the award letter and said slowly: "Actually, I already have the most suitable candidate in mind, but I haven't opened this award letter yet. If my vision is consistent with the jury...oh
, it’s really consistent.”
During the speech, Zimmerman had already opened the award letter and saw the award winner. He smiled and said: "The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay at the 51st Berlin Film Festival, leesin."
There was a moment of silence, and then violent applause broke out.
"The Truman Show" won an award!
After more than 40 years, another film that has been released has won the Berlin Prize. This scene is truly groundbreaking!
At this moment, Lu Wanlei, Jiang Chendong and others were in awe, with tears in their eyes.
There was continuous applause in his ears. Before Li Qing could stand up, he was already surrounded by Du Wansheng, Jiang Chendong and others. They all stretched out their hands with piercing eyes and shamelessly asked for a hug.
At this moment, cameras from all over the world are gathered here. The winners are as if they have become immortals instantly. How can they not be a little bit immortal?
Li Qing was almost pushed onto the stage by Jiang Chendong and others. When he received the Silver Bear Award from Zimmerman, he smiled and said thank you, and then faced the eyes of the audience,
He looked at the lifelike silver bear in his hand: "It's so beautiful."
The entire guest gallery suddenly burst into laughter.
Li Qing sighed: "I really think it looks good. Maybe it's because it's the first time I got it, so I have a soft spot for it!"
Host Ophelia shrugged and said: "Actually, I think the Golden Bear Award is more beautiful. Maybe you can look forward to the Golden Bear Award?"
The scene was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter and whistles.
For a movie that has been released, it is already good to win a Silver Bear Award. Do you want to win a Golden Bear Award?
