Chapter 528 Award presenter Wu Jianye (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

The closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is much more grand than the opening ceremony. It belongs to the gathering of big names, and at a glance, they are all stars from various countries.

On the red carpet, there were screams again and again.

Originally, some media reporters thought that Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani would walk the red carpet hand in hand, but they were obviously destined to be disappointed. wave.

The media reporters were disappointed, but the onlookers were not disappointed. Everyone shouted Wu Jianye's name loudly, hoping to attract Wu Jianye's attention.

Wu Jianye also waved to everyone with a smile.
They didn't delay too long on the red carpet. They walked the red carpet and entered the venue directly within the specified time frame. Today's event is a huge party for the world's top filmmakers.

Arriving at the seat that had already been arranged, Wu Jianye found that the people sitting next to him happened to be Wu Ziniu and others, and they wanted to enter the venue earlier than Wu Jianye.

At this time, Wu Ziniu seemed much more nervous than Wu Jianye. As a classmate of the same class, Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, and Chen Kaige won the Locarno International Film Festival Award. For the Silver Leopard Award, Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival last year.

He naturally hopes to win the European Film Festival Award like his classmates. Although everyone has a good relationship on weekdays, it doesn't mean that they don't have the mentality of competition.

Wu Jianye is a big mountain in the hearts of all directors in China. It is difficult to catch up with him, but Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, everyone can still work hard first, and set them a small goal.

"How old are you, still shaking your legs!" Wu Jianye teased.

"Damn, did I shake my legs?" Wu Zi said stubbornly.

"Ha ha!"

Wu Ziniu originally wanted to ask Wu Jianye if he was nervous, but after taking a look at Wu Jianye's calm look and thinking about Wu Jianye's previous achievements, he really didn't need to be nervous.

At this time, Chen Kaige, who hadn't shown up during the film festival, also appeared with the jury. As I said just now, this film festival is a big party for filmmakers from all over the world. Wu Jianye at the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival naturally met a lot of acquaintances, so he just said hello to Wu Ziniu and started chatting with the people around him.

Chen Kaige couldn't come over at this time, he just glanced at Wu Jianye's side from a distance, but didn't come over.

Wu Jianye also saw Woody Allen, Oliver Stone and others in the venue that he had never seen before. They are all top directors in Hollywood. They have never been to Berlin before, but they still appeared during the closing ceremony .

Although none of the films of the two entered the official competition unit, some films were selected for the "special screening" unit purely for observation.

Woody Allen brought his new work "Another Woman", and Oliver Stone, who won the 59th Academy Award for Best Director, brought his new work "Talk Radio".

Both of them are top-level directors, so there are naturally many people around them, and many North American filmmakers are surrounded by them.

But Wu Jianye immediately saw Woody Allen find Isabel Adjani talking about something, but saw Isabel Adjani shaking her head with a smile first, and then looked at Wu Jianye .

Seeing this, Wu Jianye also walked over. Woody Allen is not tall. He is not only an excellent director, but also an excellent actor. He is called "Contemporary Chaplin".

Naturally holding Isabel Adjani's slender waist, Wu Jianye asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Isabel Adjani smiled and said: "Mr. Woody Allen, invited me to participate in his next movie, and I said that I have already reserved the schedule for the next few years to you!"

This is the personality of Isabel Adjani. In another time and space, Isabel Adjani retired from the entertainment circle after falling in love with Daniel Lewis, and turned down many classic movies. Her agent once told her , the films she rejected can hold a film festival.

Because Wu Jianye has not yet decided whether to shoot "Jurassic Park" or "Ghost Love", but Isabelle Adjani has decided to leave the schedule to Wu Jianye, so she is not going to take the film. I'm making other people's movies, anyway, she has decided to take a break before.

Although Woody Allen is a master director, his reputation has not been very good in Hollywood.
Woody Allen needs to look up at Wu Jianye, which makes Wu Jianye look down on Woody Allen.

"You are Wu Jianye!" Woody Allen gave Wu Jianye a stiff look.

"You are Woody Allen!" Wu Jianye replied lightly. Although Woody Allen is well-known, Wu Jianye doesn't need to give him any respect with Woody Allen's attitude. .

Sure enough, Woody Allen frowned slightly when he heard Wu Jianye's attitude, "Are you going to Hollywood to make a movie?"

"Is it not possible?" Wu Jianye smiled.

"Hehe, of course, it's just young people. Hollywood is different from Europe. Not everyone can succeed, and some people can't make it to this threshold in their entire lives." Woody Allen's tone of disdain, without the slightest hint Covering up, this is also Woody Allen's confidence.

He made his debut in the early years and has a strong influence in Hollywood. Such people generally have a strong desire to control. Isabelle Adjani was originally regarded as his prey by him, but now the other party actually rejects him for a Chinese director. The invitation already made Woody Allen very dissatisfied, not to mention that the Huaxia director is still arrogant now, so it is naturally impossible for him to be kind again.

Wu Jianye said indifferently: "Are you a Hollywood janitor?"

Woody Allen was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Wu Jianye was teasing himself, and the expression on his face became even more ugly. He said, "I'll wait to see how you come in!" After speaking, he left!
Isabel Adjani waited for Woody Allen to leave before she said worriedly: "Honey, you shouldn't treat Woody Allen like this, he has great influence in Hollywood!"

Wu Jianye smiled indifferently: "Since you rejected him because you participated in my movie, I will naturally be responsible for you!"

Isabel Adjani smiled: "You will make me really fall in love with you!"

Wu Jianye laughed, kissed Isabel Adjani, and left. As for what she said, whoever believes it is a fool.
Woody Allen returned to his position, Dustin Hoffman asked: "I just saw that Wu Jianye also passed, what happened."

Woody Allen replied casually: "It's nothing, just a young man who has won several honors and doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth." After talking, Woody Allen said to Dustin Hoffman: "Dustin is still Didn't congratulate you, this time you won the Special Achievement Award at the Berlin Film Festival!"

The Special Achievement Award is also called the Lifetime Achievement Award. Among all film festivals, only this film award is announced in advance, and Dustin Hoffman is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this Berlin Film Festival.

Dustin Hoffman said happily, "Thank you."

As for the little fresh meat, Tom Cruise can only watch from the sidelines at this time.

"That Wu Jianye is really ambitious. I asked him for Spielberg before, and I wanted to ask him to come forward to discuss with Phantom Entertainment and sell the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" to Spielberg. He turned it down," Dustin Hoffman said.

Woody Allen chuckled: "This Huaxia director really regards Hollywood as their Huaxia!"

The awards ceremony was about to begin. Seeing this, everyone ended their conversation and returned to their seats.

Similar to other awards ceremonies, the host came up with an introduction, and then made jokes to amuse the guests.

Wu Jianye has heard all this many times, so there is nothing new, and he is smiling like everyone else. Anyway, if everyone applauds, he will applaud, and he will also be happy when everyone is happy.

Some Wu Ziniu who participated in the award ceremony for the first time were much more excited.

The hands are all red.
The first thing to be awarded is the Lifetime Achievement Award that everyone already knows. Dustin Hoffman stepped onto the podium and won the first trophy of this film festival. He began to thank the conference and everyone with an elegant temperament.
After Dustin Hoffman came off the stage, he began to present the reader's jury award, that is, the winner of the highest score in this session, and the winner was Barry Levinson's "Rain Man".

The audience applauded again.

While applauding, Wu Ziniu whispered to Wu Jianye: "I secretly called Chen Kaige and asked him about the voting results!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Did I tell you?"

Wu Ziniu said dissatisfiedly: "No, that kid is too bad."

Wu Jianye laughed, and said, "He may not even know about it, so you don't have to blame him."

Wu Ziniu muttered, "Doesn't he even know he's a judge?"

Wu Jianye glanced at Wu Ziniu, and joked, "Didn't you hear that, am I trying to save face for you?"

Wu Ziniu blushed: "Now I know."

Tao Zeru and others who were sitting next to Wu Ziniu laughed.

The award ceremony went very smoothly, there were singing and dancing performances, and there were also tearful winners who were moved.

When Wu Jianye was chatting with Wu Ziniu, the Individual Outstanding Achievement Award was awarded. This award was not produced among the 22 films shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award, but was selected among the films screened in the "Special Screening" unit. Out came the winner, actor Eric Bergsian for Oliver Stone's "Talk Radio."

He played the host of a special "Talk Follow" on Talk Radio.

The program was set up for social pathological phenomena. After the program channel was opened, the audience's complaints or scolding were accepted on the spot.The host "cured" the common psychological problems of the audience with witty responses.

Prior to this, Eric Pogosian had already written and acted in the stage play of the same name. Now this stage play has been put on the big screen by Oliver Stone, and he still plays the leading role. Because he already has experience, he performed it. Very skillful.

After this award was awarded, it was time for the main event, and the first one to be awarded was the award for Best Actress at this Berlin Film Festival.

The most popular among them is naturally Isabel Adjani, but the film festival has always been popular, which does not mean it can win awards, so the tense atmosphere in the venue at this time can be imagined.

At this time, Wu Jianye and Holly Hunter, the best actress of the previous Berlin Film Festival, walked up to the awards stage.

Wu Jianye was not only shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award this time, but he was also invited by the Berlin Film Festival to be the award presenter for Best Actress.

After the two came to the stage, there was applause from the audience.

"Hi everyone, I'm Huaxia director Wu Jianye!" Wu Jianye said first.

"Hi everyone, I'm American actor Holly Hunter!" Holly Hunter also introduced himself with the same sentence.

This is the line that Wu Jianye and Holly Hunter agreed on backstage.

After everyone finished laughing, Holly Hunter asked Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, we all know that you are an excellent director, and your first film was shot from a female perspective, so I want to ask you , As a director, what criteria do you use to choose the female lead in your film?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Image, temperament, and acting skills, I think these three are indispensable. Every character is a living character in the eyes of the director, so in many cases, what actors have to do on the set is Forget about who you were, and devote yourself to this role with all your heart.”

Holly Hunter asked with a smile: "I just noticed that Director Wu put acting skills last. Does that mean that in Director Wu's eyes, acting skills are not important?"

Wu Jianye frowned slightly, the other party was obviously digging a hole for him, but then he smiled and said: "Of course not, acting skills are naturally very important, but I think an excellent director can train an excellent actor come out, but its image and temperament need to be born, in fact, at this time, these three items don't matter in priority, they are just what I said casually."

"Then director Wu is most optimistic about the actress who is shortlisted this time?" Holly Hunter continued to ask.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "At this time, I should have said that I am optimistic about all the actresses. After all, it is an honor to be selected as the best actress, but I still want to say that I am the most optimistic about this film festival." It's Isabel Adjani in "Rodin's Lover"!"

The people present have known about the scandal between Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani for a long time, but the award ceremony itself is a scene that cannot offend people. Now it is natural to hear Wu Jianye's outspoken support for Isabel Adjani Shocked.

But no matter what everyone thought, the audience still applauded.

Isabel Adjani even blew a kiss to Wu Jianye at this time.
Holly Hunter was taken aback for a moment, then changed the topic, and began to comment on the other nominated actresses, and waited until the comments were over.

The two opened the list of winners, and Holly Hunter took the lead in saying: "The best actress at the 39th Berlin Film Festival is"

Having said that, he handed the list of winners to Wu Jianye.

".Isabelle Adjani!"
