There was a brief interview session before the screening. There were about a dozen reporters, half of them Westerners and half Easterners. Unfortunately, among the Easterners, there was not a single reporter from the mainland. They were all from Hong Kong, Taiwan, rb, and South Korea.
Most of the questions were put to the director, producer and chairman of the organizer. He Xin, Li Bing and others stood at the end of the line and acted as human backgrounds. One of the Korean reporters was very funny and asked the old man for his evaluation of the Korean movie "Joint Security Area"
, the old man was polite at first, but in the end he became impatient and said with a straight face: "Today is the premiere of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", and I will not answer any questions that have nothing to do with it."
The Korean reporter could only look miserable. One more thing, "Joint Security Area" was only rated 1.6 in the magazine, which was the second to last among all the films, and basically had no hope of winning awards.
After the interview session ended, the lights dimmed and the screen came on.
Except for Wang Xiaoshuai and Jiao Xiongpin, probably no one in the crew had ever seen the finished film. He Xin was feeling anxious and nervous at this time, after all, this was the first time his image was shown on the big screen.
The opening scene is a recruitment scene, with crooked melons and cracked dates appearing one after another. He Xin was very happy when he saw it. Isn't this the scene of the audition in the lobby of the new film studio guest house? He came to deliver the express that day and mistakenly called
He accidentally became the male protagonist of this movie.
Especially when a very funny-looking guy said that he was the abbot, Tana, who had no picture, asked: "What abbot?"
“Abbott of the show!”
The Chinese crew members sitting in the row all showed knowing smiles, but the foreigners had no reaction, obviously not understanding the plot.
Finally, He Xin finally appeared. He was wearing a bare woolen vest, with a dull look on his face, and he answered the questions honestly:
"Guo Liangui!"
"Seventeen!"
"I just came to the capital. I used to farm in my hometown!"
He Xin couldn't help but smile when he heard his decent Henan dialect.
He looked at Xiaogui on the screen who was wearing work clothes and riding a silver mountain bike through the streets. He felt strange and strange. The strange thing was that every bit of the filming was reflected on the screen.
; The strange thing is, is this person really him? He can't even believe it.
He had watched many movies and TV series, and this was the first time he felt the mystery and magic of this kind of light and shadow. The camera scanned over and over again the small shop at the intersection of alleys and intersections by Shichahai...
An inexplicable sense of accomplishment came from the bottom of my heart. Yes, this is a performance!
He used his performance to create the character of Xiaogui, and Xiaogui had his life, his emotions, his flesh and blood and soul because of him...
And all of this has been closely linked to his life.
…
On the day of the closing ceremony.
It didn't feel as lively as the opening ceremony, and there weren't as many people walking on the red carpet as there were not as many people on the red carpet. After all, most of the crew who came to participate in the screening or who had no chance of winning the award had gone home.
However, the number of media coming to interview was not less but more. After all, the awards of the 51st Berlin International Film Festival will be announced this afternoon.
After the first experience, He Xin was obviously much more relaxed when he walked on the red carpet for the second time. He even took the initiative to wave to the fans and media gathered on both sides of the red carpet, although no one cheered for him and there were only a few shots.
Aim at him.
After ten days of watching movies, he no longer only knew a few famous Hollywood stars like he did at the opening ceremony. He saw the beautiful sister Elena in "Sister Love"; he saw the beautiful sister Irina in "Intimate"
Claire; also saw Benicio Del Toro, the actor who played the Mexican Sheriff who impressed him deeply in "Drug Network".
"Look, look quickly, Mei Xi, it's Mei Xi!"
Following Li Bing's excited reminder, He Xin followed his gaze and looked toward the door, and sure enough, Tianhai Yuxi, dressed in a low-cut evening dress, slowly walked into the theater.
After looking at it carefully, no wonder Li Bing was so excited. The real Amami Yuxi feels even more beautiful than the Meixi she plays in the movie. Her height of 1.72 meters is enough to make her stand out among many white actresses, and she is full of sexy and charming
mature charm.
"So beautiful!" Li Bing glanced greedily and sighed, "Hey, what other films do you think she has filmed?"
"have no idea."
Apart from Hollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong and Taiwan films and domestic films, He Xin rarely watches RB or Korean film and television dramas. In his previous life, except for the many Ivy actresses he met on the Internet, he could probably name famous RB female stars.
There are only Yamaguchi Momoe, Kurihara Komaki, and Fujiwara Norika. As for Amami Yuki, I only got to know them after watching "Dog God" this time.
"I will definitely look for her movies when I go back and take a good look at them." Li Bing muttered.
This child was obviously completely fascinated by the mature lady.
After a while, the lights dimmed and the venue gradually became quiet.
The host is still the same guy from the opening ceremony, the opening remarks are still brief, and then the jury comes on stage.
The chairman of this year's jury is Bill McNichol, who is the CEO of Fox Film Company in the United States. He also served as the chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is the Oscar jury.
His identity is very impressive, and he belongs to the level of a top Hollywood boss. It is precisely because of his identity that the American film "Drug Network", which has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, has become the biggest favorite for the Golden Bear Award at this film festival.
.
This guy with curly hair and a mustache spoke on the stage. He didn't talk much and was very serious. After he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. He Xin also clapped his hands a few times, but he didn't understand at all.
There are many awards at the Berlin Film Festival, such as the Teddy Award, the Wolfgang Stoker Award, the Caligari Award, the Christian Humanity Award, etc. It sounds confusing, and you don’t know what the awards are.
.
In fact, the real Golden Bear and Silver Bear only award the most important awards such as Best Picture, Best Short Film, Jury Prize, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Actress.
The award ceremony lasted for nearly an hour, and it was really painful to not understand sometimes. He Xin was so bored sitting down there. He wanted to chat with Li Bing who was sitting next to him, but he couldn't.
The cat bent down and looked at the side face of Amami Yuki who was far away from him through the cracks between the people. He was simply obsessed.
Until a middle-aged lady dressed up came up to the stage. After talking to Balabala for a while, she finally opened the envelope in her hand and said, "Okay, let's see who won the prize..."
"Xin he!"
"Congratulations! It's congratulations!"
Before He Xin realized what had happened, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jiao Xiongpin and others over there had already clapped their hands happily and stood up, while casting their gazes over.
"Xiao He, you won the prize! Don't be stunned, hurry up!" Niu Le excitedly grabbed his shoulders and shook him twice.
"What award?" He Xin looked blank and unbelievable.
"Best New Actor Award! Hurry up!" Wang Xiaoshuai answered on behalf of Niu Le and urged at the same time.
"oh!"
He Xin was still confused. He stood up passively. He hugged Li Bing next to him, who had also just reacted and had an incomprehensible expression, and then came one by one. This was the first rather important award, and everyone was happy for him.
Happy, they all patted his back vigorously.
"Ah Xin, if you win the Best Newcomer, I'm afraid there will be no hope of winning the Best Actor Award." Sister Jiao Xiongpin said something encouraging and comforting in his ear.
He Xin walked onto the stage unsteadily, took the trophy and took a look at it. It was indeed a trophy, but it was a pity that it was not a cute little bear.
"Thank you to the Berlin International Film Festival, to all the judges of the jury, Mr. Chairman!"
He turned sideways and bowed in the direction of the judges' seat, and then when he faced the audience again, he suddenly got stuck. After a few seconds, he stumbled and said: "Well, it's really like a dream, I don't have a clue."
I don’t even know what to say when I’m ready..."
He spoke in Chinese, and after the translation was done, there was a burst of good-natured laughter and applause to encourage the young actor.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, He Xin took a deep breath to calm down as much as possible, and then said into the microphone: "First of all, I would like to thank Director Wang Xiaoshuai. Without him, I would still be delivering express delivery, and there would be no way I would be here."
With that said, he raised the trophy and shouted in the direction where Wang Xiaoshuai was sitting: "Director, thank you!"
"This boy!"
Wang Xiaoshuai muttered, but looked very excited and gave a thumbs up to He Xin on the stage, and then clapped his hands vigorously.
"I would also like to thank our producers Ms. Jiao Xiongpin, Mr. Li Huatong, assistant director Mr. Niu Le, and of course my good partner Mr. Li Bing."
He thanked everyone at the scene, and then said: "I would also like to express my special thanks to Mr. Li Mengnan, who played my cousin Qiu Sheng in the film. I want to say that without your help, I would not have been able to play the role of Xiaogui. Thank you.
You! Thank you also..."
He thanked almost everyone on the crew. In the past, he didn't understand why actors always have to thank this and that when they win awards. Now he understands that movies really cannot be achieved by one person. It requires the efforts of everyone in front of and behind the scenes.
, in addition to thanking you, thank you, but sincerely thank you.
