Chapter 739: Feeling sorry for the dog director, touching the dogs head
When Carl Greenberg heard that he had won the award, although he was very happy, he was not particularly excited.
But when he heard that his son also won the award, he was as excited as a child!
The camera focused on Carl Greenberg and his son.
At the same time, it was also given to Li Yi.
Because Carl Greenberg and his son both won the Berlin Best Actor Award at the same time, it was officially announced that "Life is Beautiful" will withdraw from the competition for the Golden Bear Award.
Li Yi has become the most disappointed person at this Berlin International Film Festival.
The Grand Slam is still too difficult after all.
Many people looked at Li Yi with eyes full of sympathy.
"Life is Beautiful" is not bad. In the eyes of many people, this movie is definitely the most qualified movie to win the Golden Bear Award this year.
However, the film festival award ceremony is such a piss-poor, and the popularity must die is once again demonstrated here.
"Li, I'm sorry!" Carl Greenberg was so excited that he gave Li Yi a hug and said apologetically.
Li Yi was relieved.
"You don't need to apologize, you deserve this award!" Li Yi said seriously.
Yes, Carl Greenberg's performance in "Life is Beautiful", in Li Yi's opinion, is definitely worthy of this award.
You know, Carl Greenberg is not a comedian, but in "Life is Beautiful", he performed better than many comedians.
Funny, humorous and witty are all vividly displayed in Carl Greenberg.
As for Jamie Greenberg, in the eyes of Li Yi, or in the eyes of many people, it is actually entirely because he is the son of Carl Greenberg, and both father and son are the same actor. Such a gimmick is what the Berlin International Film Festival needs.
Moreover, the double yolk would definitely cause controversy in normal times, but here, when it was awarded to Jamie Greenberg, there would be no controversy and it would only become a good story.
Because if you want to talk about Jamie Greenberg's acting skills, in fact, as a child, he performed like that in the movie, which is really good.
What's more, who can care about a child?
Moreover, what he is sharing is his father’s award, so not only will the value of this award not be diluted by the double yolk, but it will become more topical.
It is conceivable that this will definitely become a big news that the media will rush to report after the film festival!
The Berlin Best Actor award may be just the icing on the cake for an Oscar-winning actor like Carl Greenberg, but for Jamie Greenberg, it is definitely a very good booster!
While domestic movie fans lamented how awesome the Berlin International Film Festival is and how good it is at creating gimmicks, they all sighed.
"Oh, what a pity. Director Dog has really become the saddest person in the entire film festival."
"Who says it's not? And the Berlin International Film Festival has awarded "Life is Beautiful" three awards, so it's not a bad treatment."
"So, these people are really good at balancing."
"I have one thing to say, it's really difficult to be a dog director, just touch the dog's head!"
"The most lost and tragic director in the history of the Berlin International Film Festival?"
"What's going on here? It's actually quite normal, right? It's just because a dog director is short of this award to win a Grand Slam. Otherwise, this kind of thing would be common in the three major European film festivals, right?
"
And what about Li Yi at this time?
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
But there was nothing he could do about such a result.
They gave me an award, and it was very important. It was the Berlin Best Actor, second only to the Golden Bear.
But I must still be a little unwilling in my heart. After all, there are really not many opportunities like this.
That’s it!
Li Yi shook his head!
Even in the camera, although Li Yi had a smile on his face, and although he applauded Carl Greenberg and his son, everyone seemed to feel a deep sense of loss on his face.
"I feel sorry for the dog director, eh!"
"Time is also fate, if the dog director doesn't cry, just touch the dog's head!"
""Life is Beautiful" is really good, what a pity!"
"Do you think Director Dog will continue to compete for awards?"
"It's really hard to say!"
"It's boring, just don't watch the rest!"
"Grass, a plant!"
"I feel like the chances will be even slimmer in the future. Grand Slam, the number one person in film history, all disappeared in the end."
Many media people are sympathetic and excited because this is also a very good news material.
They even thought about the title.
“The most disappointed person at the Berlin International Film Festival—Li Yi!”
"He filmed "Life is Beautiful", but he didn't win his beautiful life!"
"Grand Slams become a fantasy, the most tragic director at the Berlin Film Festival..."
Then, the director of CCTV and the director of Penguin Video became the target of public criticism.
Why?
Because they were so stupid, they took a close-up of Carl Greenberg, who was giving an excited acceptance speech with his son on the stage, and they quickly cut to a close-up of Li Yi.
"It hurts my heart, old man!"
"What hatred, what hatred!"
"I hate this director! Are you adding salt to the wound?"
"This comparison shot is absolutely amazing!"
“It’s so difficult to be a dog director!”
"Is there no accident?"
"Unexpected? A movie won three awards, and you still expect four? This is the Berlin International Film Festival, not the Oscars, okay?"
Yes, in everyone's eyes, this is the case.
It is very rare for someone to win two awards at the three major European film festivals, let alone four awards.
At the Cannes Film Festival, although Li Yi nominally won four awards, both of them were double yolks.
Although Carl Greenberg on the stage thanked Li Yi three times.
But it makes people feel that Li Yi is really a very tragic director.
His "Life Is Beautiful" won two Best Actors, but the award he wanted most was elusive because of these two Best Actors.
Carl Greenberg and his son walked down holding two trophies and certificates.
There was loud applause!
The whole audience applauded the father and son.
And Li Yi, who serves as the background, once again became the object of everyone's sympathy.
Regardless of sympathy or tragedy, the film festival awards ceremony will not stop because of this. The world will not always revolve around one person.
The next award is the Special Jury Award.
This award is considered a small jury award.
It is not a standing award. Some people joke that this award is only added because there are not enough awards.
In fact, by this time, the ownership of many awards has become relatively clear.
For example, Xue Kaishan, whose "Gray Life" has not won an award yet, but according to the rules of the Berlin International Film Festival, he has received an invitation letter, so he will definitely not leave empty-handed.
In other words, the award will be born among the next four awards.
So he actually least expected to win this award.
Originally, with "Life is Beautiful" and "Midnight Confusion" being two big hits, he almost never thought about the Golden Bear Award.
But now "Life is Beautiful" has withdrawn from the competition early, and "Midnight Confusion" has also won a best actress award.
So, the Golden Bear Award is really not unimaginable!
