Chapter 740 Berlin Film Festival: Showdown, actually I am Guido!
Not only did Xue Kaishan have ambitions for the Golden Bear Award, but CCTV hosts and domestic movie fans also began to shift their focus after Li Yi's defeat.
Xue Kaishan can be said to be one of the four most famous directors in China.
It has become a fact that Li Yi cannot win the award, but isn't there still Xue Kaishan?
The same Chinese director, Xue Kaishan and "Gray Life" would be good if they could win the Golden Bear Award!
"According to the practice of the Berlin International Film Festival, as long as you get the invitation letter to the closing ceremony, you will not leave empty-handed. In other words, although "Life is Beautiful" has no chance of receiving the Golden Bear Award, the famous Chinese director Xue Kaishan and his
"Gray Life", but it is more hopeful to win this award!..."
However, before Xue Kaishan could envision the moment when he defeated Li Yi and won the Golden Bear Award, the CCTV host had not yet finished speaking.
However, the award presenter didn't show off and directly announced that the winner of the Berlin International Film Festival's Special Jury Award was "Grey Life"!
Suddenly Xue Kaishan also had mixed emotions.
He didn't dare to compare "Life in Gray" with "Life is Beautiful" because he wouldn't think that the Berlin International Film Festival would really treat him more favorably.
Compared with influence, popularity, and even the movie itself, he cannot compare with "Life is Beautiful".
It's just that I had hope before, but I didn't expect that the hope would be shattered so quickly.
But no matter what, getting the Special Jury Award is considered a good award.
Xue Kaishan walked onto the podium with a smile on his face.
For Xue Kaishan, although this award is not as good as the Best Director, the Jury Prize, and the Golden Bear Award, it is still a film award, and for him, it is also a kind of affirmation.
At least it can change the embarrassing situation he faced before.
It wants box office but not box office, it wants awards but not awards.
At least this award will allow him, Xue Kaishan, to no longer be criticized by netizens for not being worthy of his reputation.
At this time, Li Yi actually didn't care much about the award ceremony.
In fact, Li Yi's fans also feel that the award ceremony has become a bit boring at this moment.
However, this Berlin International Film Festival seems to just want to play gimmicks and want to be different.
Silver Bear Award for Best Director.
The gold content of this award is actually quite high.
However, because of the existence of the Golden Bear Award and the Grand Jury Prize, although these two awards are said to be awarded to films, in fact, they are also director awards to a certain extent.
It carries more weight than Best Director, which makes the Best Director Award a bit embarrassing.
It can be said that it is really not even a little bit different from the Oscar for Best Director.
When people talk about the three major European film festivals, the top prize is usually the first one to win, then the jury award, and then the best actor and best actress.
On the contrary, the Best Director Award is embarrassing.
But this award still attracts a lot of attention.
What's interesting is that the remaining crew members haven't won the award yet, but there are actually two other crew members who have received invitations.
Therefore, their mood at this moment is even more complicated than that of Li Yi and others.
They really don’t particularly want this award.
Because there are only three awards left.
It can be said that we are getting closer to the Palme d'Or.
They will always win, so how can the Silver Bear compare with the Golden Bear?
As for the possibility?
A hot spot will lead to death, and a hotbed of upsets will be the norm at film festivals, right?
From this point of view, it is normal for them to win awards.
"The winner of the Best Director Award is..."
“André Marat’s Paradise! Congratulations!”
The presentation of this award did not cause much of a stir, it was quite satisfactory.
However, this year's Berlin International Film Festival seems to be used to laying double yolks, and the award presenter actually spoke again: "And..."
"Li Yi's "Beautiful Life"! Congratulations!"
"Boom!"
At this time, the entire awards ceremony was in a state of shock again.
Accident! Accident! Still an accident!
What a surprise!
Surprisingly, I actually won an award again.
"Life Is Beautiful" is already the fourth award winner. Is it so outrageous?
Not to mention the guests at the scene, even Li Yi himself didn't expect it at all.
He was even a little distracted just now. If Angel Kelly hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that he had won another award.
Silver Bear Award for Best Director.
"What's going on?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
"Winning an award again?"
"Is it the fourth one?"
"This is an Oscar. What on earth is going on at the Berlin Film Festival?"
"Give wholesale awards to "Life Is Beautiful"?"
"Maybe to comfort the dog director?"
"Stop talking, I'm confused anyway!"
"Look at Director Dog's expression, haha, he obviously didn't expect it either!"
Yes, Li Yi feels a little Spartan in his heart. What the hell is this?
Are the real play awards wholesale?
Although, according to the high evaluation of "Life is Beautiful", it seems normal for this movie to win any award.
But four!
Four awards is really outrageous.
Putting aside the two awards for Best First Feature and Best Documentary, there are only eight remaining awards, but four were awarded directly to "Life is Beautiful"!
This is already the best in the history of the Berlin International Film Festival.
Since the establishment of the Berlin International Film Festival, the most it has ever won is three awards, but "Life is Beautiful" has one more. Although the best actor is a double yolk, more is more!
Li Yi was also confused.
Is this really possible?
After Andre Mara, the director of "Paradise," gave his acceptance speech, it was Li Yi's turn.
The scene suddenly burst into warm applause.
This obvious differential treatment made Andre Mara feel depressed.
Everyone gets the same award, so the difference in treatment is too obvious, right?
I'm so cold!
But when he thinks about the praise received by "Life is Beautiful", Andre Mara can't help but refuse to accept it.
Don’t think that it is so easy to become the most popular film at the film festival and the film with the highest media ratings.
Film magazines with huge global influence, such as Empire Magazine, Variety, and Screen Daily, do not mean that public relations cannot be done, but most of the time, if public relations are really needed, the price to pay is absolutely huge.
Therefore, the authority is still there.
"Life is Beautiful" can receive unanimous praise from these media, which itself proves the excellence of the movie!
Therefore, when Li Yi stood on the podium, everyone still felt that he deserved the award. They even felt that he was a little wronged by sharing the Best Director Award with Andre Mara.
The differences between the two films are all-encompassing.
But again, the award will not be given to you just because you are popular or because everyone says you are better.
"To be honest, I'm surprised by this award! I'm a little flattered! It's like the beautiful life Guido wrote for Dora..." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" There was a sound of good-natured laughter at the scene.
Isn't it? Isn't the surprise, accident, and romance that Guido brought to Dora very similar to the award that this Berlin International Film Festival brought to Li Yi?
Not to mention Li Yi was surprised, why weren't they surprised?
