The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 249 Golden Bear
"Blood Plum" and "Escape" have become classics now, but at the time, they were stifled because of Mr. Zhuang's qualifications.

These two films were at the time.

The criticism and slander she received was no less than what Xia Yu had endured.

You know, the Internet at that time was far less developed than it is now. If you change it to the present, you may encounter Internet exposure from the global film and television industry!
Time proves everything. In August and September of childhood, at the Venice Film Festival, the old man won the honor, which proves everything!
Although many films were nominated later, to be honest, it is really not as good as those two!
The old man is getting older and older. Although the director's skill is still there, he really can't compare with the peak period when he was 50 or [-] years old.

This is also a hurdle that Mr. Zhuang has faced for a long time, and it is only in the past few years that he has slowly seen it.

But this time, although it was said, it still failed to win the [Berlin Film Golden Bear Award].

But the weight of the [Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement Honor] is not too much, and it is full of gold!
The major production crews also entered the theater one after another, and Xia Yu's gaze shifted accordingly.

It mainly falls on the crew of the 24 films that were shortlisted for the main competition unit.

The first thing she saw was "Fu Yijun, Goddess of Literature and Art". She watched the movie and it was indeed well done. It might be nominated, but it was unlikely to win "Best Actress".She prefers Gloria from "The Bachelorette Party."

As for the Best Picture Golden Bear Award, she is optimistic about the two films "Growing Up Baby" and "Story of the Life of a Thrift Dealer".

But in the end, it depends on the jury.

As the lights of the venue dimmed, it indicated that the awards ceremony was about to begin.

The person who presided over the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival was a blond, blue-eyed, and choppy Caucasian beauty. She is a well-known film actress in Germany. She is playful, humorous, and sexually sensual.

After a prologue.

This is to introduce the members of the jury.

This year's jury members cannot be said to be the most ever.

But it is definitely full of the word "authority".

Zhuang He, chairman of the jury, is a leading director and screenwriter in the Chinese film and television industry.

In the latest ranking of the "Top 13 Global Movies" for the director's films, "Escape" ranked No.[-], and "Blood Plum" ranked second.

This is not only a Chinese film, but also a rich stroke in the history of global film!
He has directed and participated in fourteen films in the three major European film festivals, among which "Escape" and "Blood Plum" all won the Venice Film Festival of the year, [Best Film] or [Best Director] awards.

Fourteen films.

【Best Film】【Best Director】Nominated up to 31 times in total!
The remaining six people are also important figures in the film and television circles of various countries, including directors, actors, and screenwriters!
And they all have a very high reputation in the world and are highly recognized by the global film and television circles!
Five men and two women.

One in Asia, three in Europe, two in North America, and one in Africa.

In terms of age, you can't say that you are getting old. It can only be said that your face is not young, but it still exudes the charm of this age.

Even gray hair, growing beards, and even a big belly will not damage their status in the hearts of fans!

Just pick one, they are all people who have won at least one of the best of the three major film festivals, and they are all important members who cannot be ignored in the global film and television circle!
This of course refers to the male judges.

The two members of the female jury did not give in too much.

One is a black female director and screenwriter. She is 47 years old and has dreadlocks, but her figure is exploding and full of vitality. Don’t look at her “powerful and powerful.” She filmed “Race” and won the Berlin Best Film Award , known as one of the most delicate literary films!

The other is white and a member of the 2000 million club. He has won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival once and was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards five times. He is 51 years old this year and is still magnificent!

The shot was given to six people.

The six people greeted the audience present and the global audience with various gestures.

In the end, it fell on the old man Zhuang. The old man is also true, he doesn't care about the eyes of the world, and compared to the beautiful country, he is obviously more willing to accept the empire on which the sun never sets.

With a London accent.

Briefly described the details and some "acceptance results" these days, and praised some excellent and new-generation actors.

He talks solemnly, without getting angry, but without making people feel impatient.

Since he is a native, as the chairman of the jury, he is considered half of the "home court".

I also mentioned Fu Yijun and the entire team of "Sparrow", which can be regarded as a support for the outstanding juniors in the domestic and film and television circles.

"Huaxia Film and Television is on the rise, and I hope that everyone can give this land of revival in the East more opportunities—to reveal more of its artistic, mysterious, and majestic side!"

Finally, there is a summary, "I hope that this time, the films we selected will not disappoint everyone!"

The Berlin Film Festival is more serious, unlike the domestic Academy Award, which is full of talk.

As soon as Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, the closing ceremony officially began with the awards presentation.

In fact, not only the Berlin Film Festival, the three major film festivals have a lot of awards, first of all, there are six or seven awards in various units.

In addition to the "main competition unit".

There are also "Meeting Unit", "Short Film Competition Unit", "Panorama Unit", "Forum Unit", "Special Screening Unit", and "New Generation Unit". Once the awards are awarded, there will be a large number of films, all kinds.

Not to mention that a half-baked person like Meng Dong can't understand, even Xia Yu, if he hadn't memorized it a long time ago, and learned about these strange awards one by one, he might be at a loss.

But Meng Dong summed it up well.

She looked terrified and muttered:
"It's no wonder Director Zhuang has to go out early in the morning every day for the past ten days, and even the foreign judges get up at six or seven o'clock, rush to the screening hall before eight o'clock, and end at nine o'clock in the evening. , such a large amount, if you don’t work so hard, how can you finish the trial!”

The few people who listened couldn't help laughing.

Not only are there many awards, but there are also many award-winning movies and actors, which led to the fact that most of the previous time was spent on presenting awards to these actors.It's no wonder that unlike other awards, there are various entertainment programs, and the host has time to talk and talk.

It takes a lot of time just to present the awards, and then the acceptance speeches of various celebrities, screenwriters, directors, and various personnel.

At the same time, there is another award that has attracted the attention of several people, that is, the "Queer Palm Award" at the Cannes Film Festival, the "Queer Lion Award" at the Venice Film Festival, and the "Teddy Bear Award" at the Berlin Film Festival.

At the beginning, Lao Dai also said, "If it wasn't for the fear of failing the review, those wonderful scenes would be edited into the movie, among other things, it would not be a problem to win these three awards in one fell swoop!"

Don't think this kind of award is a bit "wonderful", but getting one more means more recognition, and it can also be sold at a different price overseas!
With the end of the awards for non-main competition units, the time came to 09:30 in the evening.

Finally ushered in the main competition unit awards.

The first one is [Special Award for Best Film Virgo] a war film.

The second is that the [Best Film Award] was awarded to "Rocket Boy".

These two are leftover awards.

The official awards are as follows:

[Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award] awarded to a film about Maple Leaf Country.

"Saw a Bear".

[Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution] was awarded to the photographer of "Youth Cruel Etude".

And when I came here, I finally came to the key award, [Best Actress Silver Bear Award].

When the host holds the letter in his hand.

There were 24 production crews present, and every actress shook hands.

This is almost the closest time that most of the actresses in it have come close to this award in their life.

Such an important award may not have the opportunity to climb again in the future.

The host did not create a tense atmosphere, but announced the nominations with a smile: ""Singles Party"·Gloria, "Grown Up Baby"·Jerminita..."Sparrow"·Fu Yijun!"

When the name "Sparrow" Fu Yijun appeared, Xia Yu and his party also smiled and looked at the crew of "Sparrow".

Fu Yijun was obviously a little excited, but still kept a decent smile on his face.

But soon, she was disappointed.

The host quickly announced the winners of the [Best Actress Silver Bear Award]:
"Bachelor Party."

"Gloria!"

In an instant, the audience was full of congratulations.

Xia Yu noticed that Fu Yijun lost his composure.

As the graceful girl stood up and accepted the award on the stage with a smile on her face, the disappointment, injustice, and grievance on Fu Yijun's face were very obvious, even if the people around her comforted her, she couldn't hide it.

Xia Yu didn't taunt, but withdrew her gaze and looked at the stage.

To be honest, this is the reason why she didn't come to participate in the three major European film festivals when "Drawing the Ground as a Prison". She knew early on that her qualifications were not enough and her acting skills were definitely not enough.

If she pushes others with herself and pushes back, she may not be able to stabilize herself.

After all, these are three mountains.

Next came the [Best Actor Silver Bear Award], to be honest, even Fu Yijun didn't get it, and the competition pressure was even greater for the [Actor Award], the other two from the "Sparrow" crew applied for the leading actor It's even harder for an award-winning male actor.

Sure enough, not only was he missed, he was not even nominated. In the end, the [Best Actor Silver Bear Award] was won by the actor Muchiji of "Story of the Life of a Second-hand Dealer", a Bosnian actor.

[Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay] This is also a fascinating award, although Mr. Zhuang has never won the [Silver Bear Award for Best Director].

However, Mr. Zhao Jinhong won each of the three major competitions once, and established the status of the top screenwriters in Huaxia in one fell swoop.

[Silver Bear Award for Best Director] was finally won by the director of "The Road Builder at the End of the World"!

At this moment, Xia Yu didn't look at other people, such as the film director of "The Road Builder at the End of the World", which was attracting worldwide attention at the moment, but looked at the old man Zhuang who was still smiling.

She thought that at such an age, the old man should have really opened his eyes.

Reconciliation has been reached with myself, with the world, with awards, with fame and fortune.

But what did she see?
Feeling, loss, envy, and even a flash of jealousy.

If Xia Yu didn't know the old man so well and cared deeply about these emotions, he wouldn't even be aware of them.

Xia Yu let out a long sigh, which was heard by Mrs. Zhuang, who also smiled emotionally.

"This is the pursuit of Lao Zhuang all his life. He told me repeatedly that he has been very lucky in his life and has won many awards, but I know that this is what he wants to get the most!"

To be honest, I have seen so many actors accept awards on stage, give acceptance speeches, and state their difficulties or hardships...

At first Xia Yu just smiled, but after hearing these words, her mentality began to change.

She seemed to feel the charm of this podium suddenly, really suddenly.

Very abrupt.

Maybe it's not unexpected, but she is also a little restless and confused now.

She slowly put her palm on Mrs. Zhuang's hand.Mrs. Zhuang smiled and rubbed her palm with her own, drying the sweat inside.

She said, "Lao Zhuang is dying, and you, you need to get a few more, so that you can help us two old things and save some regrets!"

Therefore, Xia Yu still smiled, but there was a little more different light in his eyes.

Because her shoulders seemed to be a little bit heavier—it was just a million bits...

And here, in the closing awards ceremony, only the last two or three awards are left.

【Jury Award Silver Bear Award】.

This is an award second only to the Golden Bear.

This award is highly anticipated.

One reason is that this is also a big prize, which many movies can't touch.

The other is that once you nominate this award, it basically means that you will miss the Golden Bear Award.

And when the host announced, "[Jury Award Silver Bear Award] winner "Sparrow"!"

In an instant, Xia Yu could feel the complexity of the "Sparrow" crew.

But more than happy.

Because the Golden Bear Award is too difficult to win.

And this award is already the highest award they can touch.

Then there is the biggest award of this film festival [Golden Bear Award for Best Film].

It's not surprising, or one of Xia Yu's favorite awards was announced, and it was finally won by "Adult Baby"!
It can be said that this movie is the biggest winner of this year's Berlin Film Festival!
The last award is the [Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement Honor].

When the award was announced, Xia Yu and Mrs. Zhuang were all sweating.

Until the host announces:
"The winner of the [Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement] at this year's Berlin Film Festival is our jury chairman, director Zhuang He!"

All of a sudden, the influence of Zhuang He and the judges around him was projected on the big screen.

Because the old man had received the news a long time ago, he was neither humble nor overbearing as always, so he sorted out his description and walked to the awarding platform.

Of course, even if he didn't get the news, the old man couldn't lose his composure.

After the host's introduction, he held the trophy, held the microphone, and looked at the audience.

Finally, their eyes fell on Mrs. Zhuang, Xia Yu and others who were behind.

of course.

The main thing is to look at Mrs. Zhuang.

Both of them smiled knowingly, while Xia Yu gave a thumbs up in a rare and playful way.

The meaning couldn't be more clear.

"My teacher is the best!"

Then it was time for Mr. Zhuang to speak. He was succinct about his award:

"There are too many people to thank for this award. It's not just any one movie, but all of them, whether they are recognized by everyone or not. , a makeup artist, and my lover who has been with me for 40 years, Ms. Yang Yongxia-this is a story of a long and incredible journey that has lasted for decades. Berlinale!"
