When he walked back with the trophy dangling in his hand, before he could sit down, Niu Le snatched the trophy from his hand. The guy rubbed it and looked it over and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a cup. It would be better if it were a bear."
Got it!"
"Little Bear has it, but I don't know what its quality is?" Li Huatong added with a smile.
Yes, the most important awards haven't been awarded yet, and everyone's eyes have become intense without realizing it.
"Brother Xin, I haven't had time to congratulate you just now. Congratulations on winning the prize!"
Li Bing took the initiative to reach out his hand. The child's expression was very subtle. We are all male protagonists. Now one has won and one has not. He must feel particularly uncomfortable. There is jealousy, but more importantly, envy.
"Thank you!" He Xin shook hands with him sincerely.
In the original time and space, Li Bing won this award together with the actor who played Xiao Gui, but now He Xin's cheating performance has made him overshadowed, and he finally missed out on the award.
Just when everyone was happy for He Xin to win the award, another announcement was made on the stage: "The winner of the Best New Actress Award is: Angelica Lee!"
"Wow!"
He saw Sister Jiao standing up and applauding with excitement, and then He Xin saw Li Xinjie not far away covering her mouth and standing up in disbelief. Only then did she realize that the Angelica Lee in the ghost guy's mouth just now turned out to be a ghost.
sister!
The special Best Newcomer Award at this film festival was actually won by two Chinese actors, and the audience at the scene was also a little noisy.
The ghost girl was very excited and delivered her acceptance speech in fluent English while wiping her tears, which made He Xin sitting below feel ashamed. Thinking about going abroad this time, it would be really difficult for her not to speak a foreign language.
As the award ceremony progressed, important awards began to be awarded one after another. The first was the Jury Silver Bear Award, which was won by the Italian film "Italian Language Class".
Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly became nervous. He didn't dare to hope for the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, because "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" scored 2.8 points in the competition section announced by "Screen", ranking fourth, followed by France and Germany.
The British co-production "Intimacy", the American film "Chocolate" and the hit "The Internet".
Of these three films, the former has the home field advantage and is highly praised by the outside world, and the latter two were both nominated for Best Picture at this year's Oscars. Wang Xiaoshuai felt that he could not compete, so he set his main target for the Jury Award, which is equivalent to the third prize.
.
"It's okay, it's okay. There's also the Golden Bear, the Jury Prize, and the Best Director Award. Relax!" Li Huatong, who was sitting next to him, comforted in a low voice.
He Xin won the Best Newcomer, so he definitely had no hope of winning the Best Actor Award. There was no need to think about the Best Actress Award. The only remaining three awards to compete for were these three awards. However, although Li Huatong said so, he was actually not sure in his heart. After all, the competitors were too many.
Stronger.
Then came the award ceremony for Best Actress.
The heroine of "Intimate", French actress Kerry Fox, undoubtedly won the best actress crown.
"Who's going on with the movie king?"
Everyone is speculating below.
"I think it should be Michael Douglas. I watched the movie "Drug Network" and his performance in it was very exciting. He is an Oscar winner after all!" Niu Le said.
He Xin sneered at his words. Although Old Mike did a good job, the performance of Benicio Del Toro, who played the role of the Mexican Sheriff in "Drug Network", was definitely much more exciting than him.
"I think Mark Lyons in "Intimate" is also good. Maybe "Intimate" can win all the Best Actors and Best Actors." Li Huatong and Niu Le have different opinions.
But no matter what they predicted, the answer was soon revealed:
"Best Actor at the 51st Berlin International Film Festival, Benicio Del Toro in "Drug Network"!"
Toro stood up and hugged Mike Sr., his wife, and Soderbergh respectively, and quickly walked on stage.
He Xin looked relaxed and joked with Niu Le: "Hey, I guess it's him. This guy is much better than Old Mike."
Niu Le glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Why didn't you say anything just now? Hindsight is better!"
He Xin turned around and glanced in the direction where the crew of "Drug Network" were sitting. Old Mike was lowering his head to listen to what his wife was saying. She must be comforting the old man, right?
Hey, why is there an older man next to the old man, who looks exactly like Old Mike? Could he be Old Mike's father?
"Hey, who is that old man next to Old Mike?" he asked Niu Le, pushing him.
Niu Le did not look back at all, and said with a proud face: "Kirk Douglas, the father of Michael Douglas, the winner of the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, is also the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this film festival."
"The Lifetime Achievement Award hasn't been awarded yet?"
"If you don't believe it, just watch!"
As he spoke, newly minted Berlin actor Torogo finished his acceptance speech.
"The next one should be the Best Director Award, right?"
Wang Xiaoshuai became nervous again.
However, he was soon disappointed again. The winner of the Best Director Award was actually the director of "Love You, Love Me", Fat Tou Yu Lin Zhengsheng.
I have to say that this year's jury is still very discerning. Lin Zhengsheng made a tacky youth romance film into a black humor film, and it is not without warmth and cruelty. The creativity and shooting techniques are very novel, and it is black.
Satire has always been very much to Berlin's taste.
In the end, there are two awards left except the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Jury Prize and the Golden Bear Award for Best Film. The Golden Bear Award is of course first place and best. The Jury Prize is equivalent to second place.
The atmosphere in the entire theater has become tense, because several American films that have been well received have not been received so far, including "Intimacy", which ranked second in the theater review and has only won one Best Actress award.
"There's no hope!" Wang Xiaoshuai sighed secretly.
But looking back, thinking about it, this is his first time participating in the selection of the three major European festivals. Winning the Best Newcomer Award is a consolation. It is better than leaving empty-handed.
"The winner of the Jury Prize at this year's film festival is..."
The guy who was presenting the award took a secrecy, glanced around the audience, and then announced with a smile: "Beijing bicycle!"
This time, even He Xin understood. There was a small commotion in the audience, but it soon calmed down. After all, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was the fourth-highest rated work in the exhibition magazine, and it is not considered unpopular in my conscience.
.It’s just that Chinese-language films won a lot of awards this afternoon. Not only did they win the special Best Newcomer Actor and Actor Award, they also won the Best Director Award, and they also won the Grand Jury Prize.
It seems that this year's jury particularly favors Chinese-language films. Is it because there is a Chinese director among the judges? Many people cast doubtful eyes on Jie Fei, who awarded the jury award.
Xie Fei felt these gazes and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. To be honest, he really didn't play a big role in this selection, and he alone couldn't play a big role. It was all voted for by all the judges. Of course.
Among them, the chairman of the jury, Bill McNichol, favored these two Chinese-language films.
At this point, the only remaining Golden Bear Awards are bound to be between "Intimacy", "Drug Network", and "Chocolate". Given that the chairman of the jury is a top Hollywood tycoon, people are more willing to believe in the chances of two American films winning.
Bigger.
The media reporters at the scene were very excited. If it was really an American film that won the award, then they would have something to say. The Berlin Film Festival, which has always favored artistic and political films, has now begun to compromise with Hollywood. What about European films?
A way out?
Of course, this suspense will not be solved until the end. At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai, who was extremely excited by the unexpected surprise, was on the stage receiving the shiny silver bear presented to him by Director Xie Fei.
This guy grabbed the little silver bear and kissed it ferociously several times. He managed to calm down and gave an acceptance speech in fluent English.
He Xin applauded from below and sighed to Niu Le in a low voice: "I didn't expect the director's English to be so good!"
"What a fart, I must have memorized it in advance."
Is there such a cool operation? He Xin was a little dazed, why didn't he think of it?
The Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement was finally awarded to Kirk Douglas, who was predicted by Niu Le. He Xin realized in hindsight that he was almost 90 years old and came all the way from the United States just for the award.
What?
Douglas Sr. was quite excited when delivering his acceptance speech. He told the nearly 2,000 cheering audience: "I remember the last time I went to Berlin, I just stood on the street corner eating bratwurst, but this time I drank a glass of wheat beer.
.I’m so happy to be back here. Berlin feels so great! I’m already in love with it.”
After the old man walked off the stage, everyone began to hold their breath, waiting for the final verdict. In the end, Hollywood's invasion was successful, and it would stick to tradition and maintain the dignity of European movies.
When the chairman of the jury, Bill McNichol, personally announced that the winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at this film festival was "Intimacy", the whole audience was in a state of excitement.
As expected, the two American films that were nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture failed to win. At the same time, we also applauded Bill McNichol for his justice.
