The applause stopped and everything was silent. Under the spotlight, Li Qing began to deliver his acceptance speech in fluent English: "I was a little flattered when I received the Berlin Prize invitation. After all, "The Truman Show" has already been released.
Film, the Berlin Prize can break the rules and invite us here, which is an affirmation of our work. It is not the first time for me to be a screenwriter, but it is the first time to win the screenwriting award. Thank you to the jury, thank you to the fans, and thank you to Jiang
Director and colleagues from Legendary Pictures, I hope that today next year we will have another work shortlisted for the Berlin Prize."
Li Qing's acceptance speech was very simple. After speaking, he raised the Silver Bear Award in his hand and walked off the stage.
"Please wait a moment."
However, the host Ophelia does not want to let this popular star go easily. Do you think the Berlin Film Festival does not want ratings?
Please, this is a global live broadcast, and fans in dozens of countries are watching it. If you only came on stage for a few minutes and then ran away, you would be so sorry to your fans.
Ophelia knows that Leesin's fans include the entire literary and art world, and there are also many people in Hollywood who are interested in him. After all, he is the original author of the best-selling book "Harry Potter" with over 100 million fans.
In other words, its influence is huge throughout Europe and the United States.
The movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which has been invested by Warner Bros. in Hollywood with more than 130 million US dollars, is about to be broadcast this year. This will inevitably cause an earth-shattering wave. By then, Leesin's net worth will inevitably rise even more. Although the Berlin Prize
It is one of the three major film festivals in Europe, but in fact, compared with the Oscars, it is still a little less interesting. Even if the Oscars only focus on American films, who makes the United States the largest country in terms of economic power?
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Oscar is so awesome.
The reason why Ophelia stopped Li Qing and planned to exchange a few words was because she just heard about something yesterday. Hollywood Max Pictures and Legendary Pictures cooperated to invest in the production of a movie "Titanic" worth more than 300 million US dollars.
"No. 1" has already started filming. It is produced by Scott, the top sci-fi horror film director, and the starring role is Leesin...
In fact, it doesn't matter who the starring role is, what's important is that Ophelia discovered that the investment in "Titanic" was as high as 300 million US dollars!
And the major shareholder is Legendary Pictures, owned by Leesin!
Are Chinese people so rich?
This made Ophelia unbelievable. She found out through Internet searches that Leesin was not only very popular in Europe and the United States, but also had considerable influence throughout Asia. His novels, songs, and movies had achieved outstanding results, and he seemed to be
World-class entertainment superstar.
What’s even more frightening is that the industries he invested in are still blooming. The games he represents are valued at as high as one billion U.S. dollars at home and abroad. Such an achievement was born in a young man who is only in his early twenties.
This horrified Ophelia.
What is twenty-year-old Bill Gates doing?
I just dropped out of Harvard and founded Microsoft with a total of $1,000 invested by my friends!
And now Leesin is worth more than one billion US dollars!
This is the first time Ophelia has seen such a promising thigh. Although her social circle includes celebrities from all walks of life, there is no one in the same age group who can compare with Leesin.
"Everyone knows that Leesin is not only a screenwriter, he is also the leading actor in "The Truman Show". Of course, in addition to his two identities as actor and screenwriter, Leesin's songs must be familiar to everyone, oh
,baby,baby…”
When Ophelia casually sang the chorus of "Baby", the fans at the scene actually sang along in unison, which caused the entire club to roar with singing, directly covering up what Ophelia wanted to say next.
.
After waiting for thirty seconds, Ophelia said helplessly: "It seems that everyone is really familiar with this song. So, Leesin, why not sing one live? Our sound engineer is already ready.
!”
Huge cheers came from the scene.
Li Qing took the microphone handed over by the staff, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Of course you can, but it would be too incongruous for me to sing "Baby" in my outfit."
Ophelia took a look at Li Qing's formal attire. When she recalled the lyrics of "Baby", she also felt that it was a bit inappropriate. However, she had an idea and said with a smile: "Indeed, elegant people should do elegant things. I
I heard that the Golden Hall invited you to attend three times, but you refused? I wonder if this is the case? "
"Yes... but I refused because I didn't have time. The Golden Hall has always been a place I longed for. I will definitely visit it if I have the opportunity." Li Qing said modestly.
Ophelia smiled and said: "I heard that the play "Ghost of the Opera" that is now full of people in the Golden Hall was written by you personally, and the preludes of "Phantom of the Opera" and "Fifty Ways to Say Goodbye" are also very similar.
Some people say that you composed both pieces of music, right?"
"Is there a problem?" Li Qing asked.
"No problem!" Ophelia said with a hearty smile: "Now, we have a Steinway piano worth 100,000 euros on site. As an internationally renowned grand pianist, Leesin, can you play a piece on site? No.
Why did you refuse because of the clothing issue? Many pianists play in suits."
Huge cheers came from the scene again, and someone even shouted a request.
Li Qing had probably experienced big storms. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the organizer for not notifying him in advance, he finally agreed to Ophelia's request. Then a piano was slowly pushed to the stage, and when a stage light came down, he sat down.
Li Qing, who was in front of the piano, started playing casually.
Since "Phantom of the Opera" was mentioned, Li Qing naturally wanted to satisfy the audience. During the performance of "Phantom of the Opera", media reporters from all directions rushed to the front of the audience. In order not to affect the guests' viewing, they all knelt down one by one.
On the ground, I pick up the camera and shoot for a while.
The spotlight flashes like a starry sky.
When the song ended, like a strange coincidence, Li Qing played Richard Clayderman's "Starry Sky".
When the brisk piano keys sounded, a distant and profound emotion spread. It seemed that there was some kind of indescribable feeling of reluctance brewing in people's hearts.
The scene was quiet, with only the faint sound of the piano.
And tranquility also gives people unlimited imagination. There are some repeated tunes in the song "Starry Sky" many times, but it does not give people the illusion of complexity. The sound of the piano seems to be full of all kinds of thinking and calmness, making people
Touched slightly.
When the famous film scorer Stuart Narr raised his head and looked at Li Qing who was playing gracefully on the stage, he couldn't help but admire and said to his companion: "Leesin is indeed a master pianist invited by the Golden Hall three times. He plays here casually."
I felt loneliness in the music of the piano, but Leesin’s back at the moment seemed to be far more artistic than loneliness.”
…
The awards ceremony quickly passed the Best Film Score Award, the Jury Prize and many other awards.
When time passes slowly, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director is about to be announced. Jiang Chendong is one of the nominees for this award. However, it is a pity that in the end, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director went to American director Robin Toby for "The Red Waltz".
》 took away the award. In this award, Jiang Chendong finally regretted running away.
A moment later, the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress was also awarded to Alice Cronin, the actress of "The Red Waltz".
Cronin's expression was so excited that he was so excited that he even sobbed speechlessly when he stood on the stage and received the award.
This woman, who was born in a slum, made her debut only three years ago and went through a lot of hardships. Finally, she was named the Berlin Best Actress with her third film "The Red Waltz", which changed her life in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, the most watched Silver Bear Award for Best Actor was also awarded. Competing with "The Truman Show" included two American movies, one Indian movie, and one British movie.
But there is no doubt that among these five movies, "The Truman Show" is far superior to the other four movies in terms of plot. The only obvious shortcoming is that the actors and actresses are all Asians without exception, but
The acting skills of Li Qing and others have been developing towards internationalization since the beginning of filming. Their cheerful smiles and deliberately exaggerated body movements are quite different from the previous implicit Chinese movies, and there are many shadows of Western movie actors.
This is probably the reason why "The Truman Show" is so popular overseas but slightly hindered at home.
"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at this Berlin Film Festival is Li Qing."
When Gavin Bronte, the well-known filmmaker and chairman of the Berlin Film Festival jury, announced the winner, everyone at the scene smiled as expected.
"The Truman Show" is probably the biggest topic of this year's Berlin Prize. The Berlin Prize not only broke the rules for it, but also allowed Leesin to win the best screenplay and best actor. This is simply a rhythm that will fight to the end.
"I want to thank my good friend Brandt for recommending "The Truman Show" to me. Otherwise, I might have missed this great movie." Brandt said with a smile.
As soon as this was said, there was a roar of applause.
After Li Qing, Jiang Chendong and others hugged, he walked up to the stage and took the award from Bronte. When the applause gradually disappeared, he said with a smile: "Although I don't know who Brent's friend is, I also want to thank you.
, without you, "The Truman Show" wouldn't have won this award."
There were roars of laughter at the scene.
Bronte also smiled and applauded.
Li Qing continued with a smile: "Being able to win the Best Actor Award is probably the pinnacle of my life. I am very lucky, because strictly speaking, "The Truman Show" is only my second movie."
Before he finished speaking, exclamations came from the scene.
Even Cronin, who won the Best Actress award, raised his head and looked at the figure on the awards stage in surprise.
She thought she was lucky enough to be banned from Best Actress in the third movie she starred in, but Leesin was banned from Best Actor in Berlin after her second movie. This is simply...
There are countless people who think the same way as Cronin.
At this moment, people opened their mouths in disbelief.
On the stage, Bronte shook his head and said: "You still have a long life. You are only 22 years old. Your future has unlimited possibilities. The Berlin Prize welcomes you to come again after your transformation."
Li Qing quickly thanked him. After thanking many colleagues and partners as usual, Li Qing walked off the stage holding the Silver Bear Award.
Then, after a burst of singing and dancing, the much-anticipated Golden Bear Award for Best Picture was finally awarded.
"Congratulations to Jiang for winning the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 51st Berlin Film Festival in Germany!"
When the famous European and American filmmaker Samuel Donne announced the winner, Li Qing was calm and calm. Even though there was thunderous applause and fans were shouting his name.
He is not pretending, he is really calm at the moment.
He found that his desire for such awards seemed to be far lower than imagined.
Even though he has not even been impressed by the domestic Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, at this moment, he is far from the chance to win the Academy Awards or the Golden Horse Awards.
After all, I have already won the Berlin Best Actor!
It’s normal to have a higher outlook.
But Jiang Chendong had a completely different reaction. After all, it was his name that was being read out now.
At this moment, he shook his arms vigorously, stood up and hugged Li Qing, his lips trembled, and his eyes were full of tears: "I got it, Qingzi, I got it!"
"Congratulations." Li Qing stood up and smiled.
"Same joy, same joy!" Jiang Chendong laughed excitedly.
As a mainland director, he is almost reluctant to win the domestic Golden Rooster Award. He has even been nominated for the Golden Horse Award, but even being nominated for the Golden Horse Award, he is not as excited as he is at the moment.
Although the Best Director Award is not the most coveted, the Best Picture Award is what he is looking forward to. The former is the Silver Bear Award, but the latter is the unique Golden Bear Award, which is as valuable as any film award in the world.
, this is the international film community recognizing Jiang Chendong’s shooting skills. So what if he hasn’t won the Golden Horse Award?
When Jiang Chendong stood on the awards podium and kissed the golden bear trophy excitedly, the whole world was recording this moment.
In China, countless media and newspaper offices have begun to work overtime. The time difference between Germany and China is about six hours. In the mainland, where it is still late at night at three o'clock in the morning, the results of the Berlin Prize awards were announced immediately on the media website.
attracted attention on the Internet.
The news that Li Qing won the best screenplay and was awarded the Berlin Best Actor also spread to the country in an instant, including pictures of Li Qing playing "Phantom of the Opera" and "Starry Night" live.
Later, when "The Truman Show" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival, many media and newspaper leaders rushed to the company overnight and began to urge editors to write articles and publish them in new issues of newspapers and magazines.
Early the next morning, the news that Jiang Chendong won the Golden Bear Award and that Li Qing was awarded the Berlin Best Actor spread throughout the country, including Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan. All media and newspaper headlines published the news, which instantly caused a huge sensation in the country.
.
Historically, there have been only three Chinese people who have won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, one of whom is of Chinese descent. It has been six years since the last one won the award, and now Jiang Chendong has been added to the list.
There are two people who have won the Berlin Best Actress, one is a Hong Kong actor and the other is a mainland actor. They were both young and tender at the time, and now they are all Beidou in the film and television industry. However, no one has been awarded the Berlin Best Actor. This is
It has always been a pity for the Chinese film industry.
But now, the first Chinese winner of the Berlin Prize for Best Actor has appeared.
Many people were excited, and fans were also moved to tears.
This hot man has gone through many hardships and finally stood at the top of the international film industry!——
Thanks to Du Ruofei 0208, for the reward in my dream
