"Radison Under Jeters... Welcome to the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival..."

The four-story hall of the movie palace gradually darkened, and the magnificent lights lit up on the stage.

The master of ceremonies began to take the stage, blah blah blah.

The audience applauded.

The chairman of the jury for this session was introduced.

Frank Bell walked onto the stage wearing a suit and bow tie, touching his pink face and waving his hands like a North Korean official.

Then there's another official blah blah.

Ok.

The German filmmaker spoke English, but there was still an interpreter on site to translate into English.

It's very rigorous.

Very German.

The selection stage of the Berlin Film Festival itself is also conducted in English... It can also be seen that German films are lonely.

"This year, more directors focus on this era, and it has become the background of most films.

In the past 11 days, facing these movies, our judges are all very assertive, and they are easy to be persuaded if they don’t fight, but everyone also keeps speaking freely and never forces others to change their minds.

Just like the Berlin Film Festival is to select the work with better integrity..."

The German old man laughed and teased with a serious German humor.

Although it wasn't funny, and even revealed a trace of sadness, many people in the audience still smiled knowingly.

Every year, a lot of things break out during the judging stage of the film festival.

It is not once or twice that the judges of the Berlin Film Festival quit midway. The excuses are family reasons. The specifics are unknown.Anyway, there are also those who yell at the newspapers when they turn around...

Apparently, this year's judging work made the German jury chairman rack his brains, which shows that this year's judging company is very 'intense'.

Immediately he also completed the introduction to the members of the jury very well.Several judges also walked onto the stage with smiles and delivered speeches one by one.

Then, a video clip was played on the big screen, most of which were guests who had participated in the red carpet show before.

Then he started introducing some special guests.

Including some old-timers of European cinema, including the Central Berlin Film Commission and the chairmen of the various units.

At this time, Wu Xiaozu also stood up and applauded along with the crew.

The foreplay part of the Berlin Film Festival is very long... very long... It is not European or American at all, but it is very similar to the rhythm of a movie in a good life. The meat scene lasts more than ten minutes, and the foreplay often comes together, even if it is deliberately moved out. Some props to heighten the foreplay intensity...

Still feel better than nothing.

(__)(-)(~O~)...(-).

For Wu Xiaozu, who can completely satisfy the audience with pure physical strength, kidney strength and skills, these things are really noisy and boring.Putting her hand casually on Lin Mitao's thigh...

It wasn't until the other party clamped his legs tightly and glared at him coquettishly that he realized it.

Embarrassed smile.

got used to.

If you touch the stockings again, they will snag...

The Berlin Film Festival is really stingy. At this time, they don’t even give a fruit plate. I have to say it. I still appreciate the atmosphere of the Golden Globe Awards at this time. People just give awards while eating and playing.

On the stage, under the watchful eyes of everyone, this group of guys spent more than half an hour in ink before the meat scene began.

10 male and female judges stood on one side of the stage, and Zhang Aijia also stood among them.

Compared with the entertainment of the Oscars, the three major film festivals are more academic and professional, among which the Berlin Film Festival has always been the most.

However, in the eyes of many people, this may also conform to the setting of the "Palace of Art".

After all, Oscar is not a film festival in a certain sense, but a local academy award.In essence, the Oscar is an award that rewards outstanding works in the American film industry. It not only requires achievements in the field of art, but also a combination of commerciality and artistry, reaching a general consensus.

The three major film festivals pay more attention to artistic innovation and breakthrough, focusing on art and avant-garde, while entertainment is low, and they do not regard both refined and popular tastes as the standard.So for the audience, the three major film festivals are actually not very interesting... The three of them are not as sexy as the Oscars and they will work hard.

Not to mention any whore.

The transition and pace of the awards sequence at the Berlinale is fast.

In just over 20 minutes, the "Best Short Film", "Wolfgang Schott Award", "Best Film Award in Caligari", "Best Film of the Forum and New Film Forum", " Best Documentary".

Obviously, it doesn't focus too much on 'customer experience' and suspense.

The salted fish style is as usual.

Oscar's panting sound effect will not appear, and the award presenters did not have the expected reaction at all.

Basically, it is the "Sharapova in bed" in the awards ceremony - don't watch the game and shout joy, but she was dumped by her boyfriend because she couldn't shout.

"The "Captain" Jan Troll, who won the best director at the 42nd Berlin Film Festival!" The award presenters presented the awards as soon as they stepped onto the stage, which was not as fast as Yidong's usual.

Many people in the audience applauded actively.

This cutting-edge Swedish director is well-known in Europe, and in Sweden is equivalent to the achievements of Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huang Jianxin, and Gu Changwei.

This is also the real direct line of the Central Army in Berlin, the kind of Whampoa All-American equipment...

In the 60s, when I was in my 30s, I won the Berlin Golden Bear Award. This time, I won the award again. It can be regarded as a new shoot from an old tree... Although this "Captain" does not have a high score in the show catalogue.

The 62-year-old man came to the stage to accept the award, and the audience stood up and applauded whether they really respected it or not.

Immediately afterwards, Best Actor was awarded.

It was awarded to Armin Müller Stahl, the leading actor in "Count Utz", one of the greatest movie stars in Germany.

After the leading actor delivered his acceptance speech, he didn't stop, and immediately announced the best leading actress.

"Best Actress - Zhang Manyu! She starred in "Center Stage" directed by director Stanley Kwan..."

Whoa! ! !
Zhang Manyu's eyes widened in disbelief, while the entire crew of "Ruan Lingyu" jumped up excitedly. Director No. 0 Guan Jinpeng even hugged the male assistant beside him, clenching his fists excitedly.

"Congratulations!"

Wu Xiaozu also took the initiative to applaud and stood up, sending blessings to the other party across two rows.

At the same time, Lin Mitao, Wang Xianxian, Hu Huli, Ms. Deng and the rest of the Chinese all stood up to give blessings.

The media in the front row held up their cameras and pressed the shutters one after another.

The paparazzi of Hong Kong and Taiwan are already excited!

Zhang Manyu's award has broken the record of Chinese-language film actors, and to a certain extent even shocked them even more than Wu Xiaozu's award.

After all, no one expected that she would really win the award.

"Thank you."

Zhang Manyu passed by Wu Xiaozu and hugged her with her feet up.

Director Wu patted the other side's beautiful back like a loving Soviet father, and said with a smile, "You deserve it..."

Zhang Manyu, who walked onto the stage, also gave Zhang Aijia, who was standing above, an active hug.

Needless to say.

Without Zhang Aijia's strong recommendation, she would never have the chance to win this award.

Even if her performance is indeed well deserved.

In this kind of film festival, the jury watched 11 films in 27 days and had to give their own opinions. In fact, they often relied on first impressions and the lobbying of "someone in the court".

Therefore, this is actually not fair to some movies that are "beyond the meaning and need to be carefully tasted".

But no way.

Each judge needs to select films that meet the requirements under such an environment.

This time, Zhang Manyu was able to win the award, thanks to Zhang Aijia's contribution.

On the stage, Zhang Manyu delivered an acceptance speech full of excitement. When "Guan Jinpeng" was mentioned, the No. 0 director in the audience cried and burst into tears. He was more excited than Zhang Manyu on the stage.

He really deserves to be excited!
It can be said that after Wu Xiaozu, he became the second director of the new generation of directors to win awards in the three major European film festivals. A "Queen of Actress" crown is enough to put him in the ranks of first-line directors.

Can predict.

When he returns to Hong Kong Island, he will blow up the entire entertainment industry!
At the same time, my qualifications, status, and investment will increase exponentially.

No way, this phenomenon in the entertainment industry is too intuitive.

"I'm going to get in touch with Aguan...director Guan later to see if there is any possibility of cooperation, what do you think?" Even Wang Xianxian couldn't help yearning, and looked at Zhang Manyu on the stage enviously.

You can imagine the performance of other actors!

It's a pity that director Guan is not good at women.

It is estimated that this will make many female celebrities secretly feel sorry - of course, on the other hand, male celebrities will probably be ecstatic.

Wang Xianxian's actions are also justifiable.

Although her box office appeal is full, she is indeed much worse than actors of the same level in terms of honor.

It can't be said that her acting skills are poor, but in comparison, she still lacks some thickness. Of course, if she is trained by a good director, there will be no problem.

"it is good."

Wu Xiaozu nodded in agreement, "Just two days ago, A Guan and I also talked about the next movie, he was very interested in it. If it is convenient, I will recommend you to him... You can pay attention to Jiawei's new movie a bit."

In fact, Wu Xiaozu didn't really want Wang Xianxian to force the so-called literary hexagrams.

But the other party likes it, and he is willing to give resources.

In terms of support in this regard, director Wu must have more resources than Lu Daan.The latter can join hands with capital to bring out a big treasure, let alone him?
Just play if you like.

It's not that there are no such conditions at home.

At the award presentation, after the "Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award" was awarded to another popular Spanish female director Pilar Miro's "Beltenebros" (Prince of Shadow/Lord of Shadows), many people on the scene cheered up.

This year's best film and jury awards have become the 'focus' that everyone is most concerned about.

Under the changing situation of the world this year, many movies put the story of the movie in the background of the current era or pay attention to this era.

This makes the ZZ movie "Sweet Emma, ​​Dear Bobby - Sketch, Nude", which focuses on the society under the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and reflects the current social relations, and Andrei Konchalovsky's "Under the Red Terror" are very popular .

Of course, ZZ is not involved, but the highly rated "Grand Canyon" and "Pulp Fiction" have also become works that many people are optimistic about.

It's uncertain who the two awards will go to.

"Maybe one will be correct for ZZ." The audience and the old Martin who gave up the treatment whispered softly.

This is in line with the urine of the Berlin Film Festival.

Martin Sr. had another fruitless day at the Berlin Film Festival this year.

The truth is that the mentality is relatively stable.

I made up my mind and never participated in the Berlin Film Festival again.

Although he was hailed as the king of accompanying runners at the Oscars, he was actually lucky in the three awards.

Of course, compared to the guy who won the Palme d'Or in his 20s not far away, the old Martin feels that... this kind of luck is not worth mentioning.

"According to the selection of the jury this year, this year's jury award is awarded to the work "Sweet Emma, ​​Dear Bobby - Sketch, Nude" directed by Istvan Szabo."

On the stage, the award presenters who opened their cards smiled and congratulated.

I got it right--

Watch the cast of "Sweet Emma, ​​Dear Babe - Sketches, Nudes" bouncing and bouncing.

Old Martin had such an expression as expected.

A long illness becomes a good doctor!
He is familiar with this kind of award ceremony...

So there might be a Best Picture competition between "The Canyons" and "Pulp Fiction"? ?

The former well reflects some family problems in the current American society and the relationship between the white middle class and the black bottom. The latter is a work that breaks the tradition.

With the announcement of the jury awards.

Many people on the "Pulp Fiction" crew are on edge.

No...it's really hot and you'll die, right?

Harvey, Uma Thurman and others all turned their heads to look at Quentin Crow's Mouth. The latter shrugged, and then made a zipper movement for his mouth with his hand.

He is also nervous!
At this time, the cameraman also deliberately gave the shots to the directors and crew of several very popular crews.

"So nervous."

Wu Xiaozu left and right, Lin Mitao and Wang Xianxian couldn't help but grabbed his arms and hands.

Instead, it was Director Wu.

Be extraordinarily frank——

I'm not a first-time brother. In Cannes, I've won double Palme d'Or. It's just a golden bear... It's not worth his anger... Shit!
Will Aquaman dislike the advanced gun mount?
will not!

Then naturally there is no director who dislikes multiple honors, which are an important bargaining chip to represent you in the world in the future.

As soon as the two directors meet, you take out a big and hard honor, which definitely has a reputation. On the contrary, your award is small and soft, do you have the nerve to show it?
"The film that won the 42nd Berlin International Film Golden Bear Award is—"

When it was time to come, the chairman of the jury who took the initiative to present the best film even had a f*cking job, and took the initiative to invite the other judges to announce it together.

This time, the nervous candidates in the audience almost scolded their mothers.

"Wu Xiaozu from "Pulp Fiction"!!!" At this time, Zhang Aijia was much more considerate and shouted out directly.

Golden Bear for Pulp Fiction! !

Hearing the sound of the correct words, Wu Xiaozu resisted the excitement of punching, and showed an extraordinarily calm expression with a confident smile.

"what!!"

On the contrary, the few people sitting beside couldn't help screaming.

Wang Xianxian and Lin Mitao hugged immediately.

Take this opportunity.

Wu Xiaozu also pretended not to care too much, hugged left and right, then kissed Wang Xianxian again with Lin Mitao's mouth, and without waiting for their reaction, he straightened his suit and strode onto the stage.

At this moment, there were warm cheers and applause from the audience.

Harvey also stood up with a smile and walked up together.

For the best picture, he, who is also a named producer, naturally also has a share!
