China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 252 Someone Has to Do It【Two in One】

Since the Berlin Film Festival is so politically inclined, it is inevitable that it will be hurt by politics.

In fact, the three major film festivals are more or less affected by politics.

Just like in 2004, director Michael Moore brought "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" into the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival that year.

It's just different from "Katyn Massacre". At that time, "Fahrenheit 911/911" was not favored by public opinion, and even many media and film critics believed that "Fahrenheit [-]/[-]" was here to make up the numbers.

But the final result surprised everyone.

Quentin Tarantino, then chairman of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, insisted on awarding the Palme d'Or to the documentary.

It can be said that the encounters of "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" and "Katyn Massacre" are simply two extremes.

Of course, the completely different experiences of these two films have little to do with Quentin and Mr. Costa, who are the chairman of the jury.

After all, who made the shooting of "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" a move made by the US Republican Party in the election year, while the shooting of "Katyn Massacre" was only the personal idea of ​​director Andrzej Wajda.

Therefore, Quentin, who has the support of the Republican Party, can naturally put this documentary that exposes the old background of the United States and criticizes the scandals of the United States on the podium with a calm face.

You must know that 2004 has only passed a few years.

So soon someone thought of this, and the chattering filmmakers finally calmed down after thinking of this.

Seeing this situation, the beautiful actress Fadian Kruger, who was presenting the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay on the stage, couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After looking at the card in her hand again, she said slowly with a smile on her face:
"The winner of this year's Best Screenplay Award is..."Left Right"——wangxiaoshuai!"

"Congratulations!"

After that, she took the lead in applauding.

As soon as this remark came out, Gao Fei heard a burst of cheers from the crew of "Left and Right".

Wang Xiaoshuai hugged the main actors one by one with a smile on his face.

And when he approached along the aisle, Gao Fei also shook hands with him sincerely and congratulated him.

Although he doesn't like making art films like Yu Nan, Gao Fei has always respected these people in his heart.

Although commercial films are more popular with the public, this does not mean that there are no tears under the laughter.

These sufferings that happened to the people at the bottom, if everyone doesn't pay attention to them, then they will live silently and die without trace, as if they have never been in this world.

And this is undoubtedly sad.

Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for too long, but Wang Xiaoshuai was obviously quite excited when he took the stage.After he took over the silver bear from Fadian Kruger, he couldn't help kissing the trophy excitedly.

When delivering his award acceptance speech, Fatty Wang even bluntly said that the film environment in China is difficult, and he sincerely hopes that his film can get a good box office in China.

After hearing these words, Ning Hao in the audience couldn't help but change his face immediately.

Immediately Ning Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"He still can't change his temper... Oh, why bother!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but nodded helplessly.

Since some words are not only useless, but can only cause trouble, why bother to say them.

But if Fatty Wang listened to the persuasion, he wouldn't be Fatty Wang anymore.

After some cheers, the award presentation on the stage continued.

Several other awards were announced soon.

The award for Best First Film was given to the film "The Park and the Hotel of Love" from the United States;
The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, commonly known as the Best Soundtrack Award, was awarded to the British film Jonny Greenwood for his outstanding performance in "There Will Be Blood".

As for the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress, this year's Berlin Best Actress, it was won by British actress Sally Hawkins.

When the judges said this, the crew of "No Man's Land" couldn't help sighing.

Even Yu Nan, who had been calm since the award ceremony, couldn't hide his disappointment at this moment.

After all, this may be the closest she has ever been to the actress in Berlin.

Not only her, even Gao Fei and others did not expect that Yu Nan, who had two films shortlisted at the same time, would fail like this.

You must know that before participating in the closing ceremony, after Ning Hao, Gao Fei and the others summed it up again and again in the hotel, they all felt that among the several nominations for "No Man's Land" this time, Yu Nan was the best actress The chances of winning are the greatest.

It's just that no matter how pity they are, if they miss it, they miss it.

And when they saw Shu Qi walking onto the stage with the envelope for the best actor, Huang Bo and others couldn't help feeling tense, and Ning Hao couldn't help but whispered to Gao Fei in a hoarse voice:

"Old Gao, hurry up, cheer up, maybe you have hope this time."

In fact, what Ning Hao said was right.

According to international practice, major international film festivals used to let judges of the same nationality as the winners award them.

So sometimes, as long as you see who the judges are at the awards ceremony, you can probably guess the result.

It's just a pity that this Berlin Film Festival was an accident.

Who told two judges to skip work before the festival started, so the remaining six judges had to do more work.

Just like Shu Qi, who just awarded the Romanian film "A Good Day to Swim" with the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film.

So when he saw Shu Qi appearing, Gao Fei became even more nervous.

Although his face seemed expressionless, the joints of his tightly clenched fists were already turning white.

At the same time, after slowly opening the envelope, Shu Qi on the stage finally smiled and said:

The winner of the Best Actor Silver Bear is... "No Man's Land" - gao·fei! "

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei's heart burst into ecstasy.

But after all, he is still used to pretending, so even though he wanted to laugh up to the sky in his heart, after Gao Fei took a few quick and deep breaths, he still managed to suppress the impulse in his heart and pretended to be calm. appearance.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao immediately smiled and punched him lightly on the shoulder, jokingly said:
"Hehe~ You still don't forget to manage your expressions at this time? You're ruthless!"

But after all, he also sincerely hugged Gao Fei and congratulated him on winning the award.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei's tense nerves finally relaxed a little bit.

And when he and the main creators of "No Man's Land" embraced one by one, Gao Fei finally managed to regain his composure.

It's just that although he calmed down, Han Li in the seat seemed to be half-drugged, and she blushed unconsciously and trembled in the seat.

Looking at her subconsciously trembling hands, Gao Fei quickly told Xing Na to take care of her, and then walked up to the podium steadily.

On the awarding platform, when Gao Fei approached, Shu Qi first took the initiative to hug him lightly, and then praised him sincerely:

"Congratulations, your performance is really wonderful!"

However, because the stage was not a place to exchange pleasantries, she gave up her seat to Gao Fei after saying a few words.

But looking at the faces with different skin colors and the envious eyes, Gao Fei suddenly calmed down after taking a deep breath.

After all, compared with the Grand Court Meeting in the Zichen Palace, the Berlin Film Festival's ostentation is not nearly as good.

Not only that, but thinking of this, Gao Fei became calmer and more composed.

Because although he is just a false name as the film king, he still left many barbarians present speechless.

Compared with him, Zhao Guan's family's emperor's name may not be as good as his.

Then Ning Hao was shocked to see Gao Fei tease him with a relaxed smile in front of filmmakers from all over the world:

"As usual, please allow me to thank Ning Hao, the handsome director of this film, although... I don't think so."

As soon as this remark came out, both the audience in the audience and the judges on the stage couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even the defeated candidates couldn't help but be moved by Gao Fei's relaxed and natural state and funny performance at the moment.

After all, empathy, they think they can't do it so naturally.

Ning Hao, who was just teased by Gao Fei, couldn't help but roll his eyes speechlessly.

But after a while, he couldn't help laughing.

On the podium, as the atmosphere in the movie palace gradually became more relaxed, Gao Fei then started to get down to business.

But when Gao Fei finished speaking the testimonials that Han Li had prepared in advance and was about to go down, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

So he raised the best actor trophy in his hand towards the camera in high spirits, and smiled confidently:

"This is my first time participating in the Berlin Film Festival, the first time I stand on the podium... I believe, this will not be the last time!"

“I will come again!”

After saying this pretentious sentence, Gao Fei nodded in satisfaction.

After all, this is his Gao Yanei!

How could he keep a low profile when he was in the limelight!

Although Han Li's testimonial just now was good, it was written too formally, and it didn't show his elegant demeanor at all.

And when he saw Gao Fei walking down from the stage with ease, he had a casual expression on his face, as if he just went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Ning Hao, Huang Bo and the others were suddenly speechless.

For a while, they didn't know whether to praise Gao Fei for being a general, or to say that he was heartless.

It's just that Gao Fei doesn't have this consciousness at all.After realizing that Han Li's eyes were fixed on the trophy, Gao Fei simply handed the silver bear to her.

Seeing his casual appearance, Han Li was so flustered that she immediately stretched out her hands to catch it, and then glared at him angrily.

It seems that in her eyes, the actor trophy is the protagonist now, Gao Fei was so angry that he helplessly rolled his eyes.

And while the crew of "No Man's Land" was having fun, the awards ceremony on stage continued.

The same young American director born in the 70s, Paul Thomas Anderson, successfully won the Best Director Award with "There Will Be Blood".

By the way, this buddy also won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago, like a great emperor... (⊙o⊙)... No, he looks like a great director.

So when he accepted the award, Gao Fei took a extra look.

It's a pity that Paul is obviously not as coquettish as Gao Fei, so after the two looked at each other...there was no call, let alone sympathy for each other.

After him, the Grand Jury Prize went to Errol Morris' "Standard Process".

But what is interesting is that this "Standard Process" is not only a documentary, but also like "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" a few years ago, it also pokes Lao Mei's heart and exposes Lao Mei's old foundation.

Because this war documentary mainly investigates the human rights scandal at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, revealing the ulterior secrets behind the so-called "War on Terror".

It can be said that the face of Lao America's anti-"human rights" in the name of "human rights" has been completely exposed.

To be honest, to some extent, Errol Morris should be regarded as a "beautiful traitor".

It's just that the filmmakers present, whether they were Americans or other countries, didn't care about this.

It can be seen that, no matter for Americans or foreigners, scolding the US government has become a kind of political correctness.

I have to say that reality is more absurd than movies!

It's just that when Gao Fei thought that there were enough changes tonight,
However, the old man Costa played tricks again on the podium with his old age.

Because, he awarded the final grand prize, the Golden Bear, to the Brazilian movie "Elite Force".

After these words came out, Ning Haodang even opened his mouth slightly to say something, but after opening and closing it a few times, he finally shook his head a little dejectedly.

And the other filmmakers in the auditorium unconsciously let out a burst of restlessness.

Not only because the film was released in Brazil on August 2007, 8, it was an exception to be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival.

It is because in the eyes of many filmmakers, the high-grossing "Elite Force" is more like a commercial film than an art film in terms of approach.

In short, they think that "Elite Force" is not artistic enough to bear the honor of the Golden Bear Award.

It was just the words of the old man Costa that made many people quiet down.

"In my opinion...a film that can be thwarted by police; gangster damage; and kidnappings, raids, etc., before it can even be screened - deserves any credit!"

After all, Mr. Costa firmly placed the golden bear in the hands of Jose Patilha, the director of "Elite Force".

So after a moment of silence in the huge movie palace, there was finally a burst of applause.Ning Hao also applauded there with a complicated expression.

It's just that no matter how unwilling he is, he can only admit it after listening to Mr. Costa's selection reasons.

After all, the director of the film, Jose Padilla, is indeed a ruthless man.

You must know that Rio de Janeiro in Brazil is known for its poor law and order.

As the former capital of Brazil, most of the population in Rio de Janeiro is distributed in 70 favelas controlled by violent drug gangs.

It is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Because there are gun battles between heavily armed gangs and the police almost every day, and innocent residents are shot and killed by stray bullets almost every day.

In the movie, director Jose unabashedly filmed the corruption within the police in detail.

Such as collecting protection fees, or reselling seized guns to gangs.

And Jose did not shy away from the cruelty and blood of gang drug dealers.

It is said that Jose originally wanted to shoot a documentary, because his first film was a documentary.And "Elite Force" is only his second film.

But as the interview progressed, Jose was soon threatened with death.

Some from the gang, some from the police.

That's why Jose had to give up the idea of ​​shooting a documentary, and instead expressed it in a more tactful form.

However, "Elite Force", which is full of bloody and violent scenes, still makes many people unbearable and even physically uncomfortable.

Even though they know that reality is crueler than movies...

　At twelve o'clock last night, I suddenly felt a bit itchy and uncomfortable in my throat.Because I didn't have fever, headache, chest tightness and other symptoms, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought it was a common flu, so I took a pack of Ganmaoling.

　　However, after 24 hours, the state is getting more and more uncomfortable now.

　　How should I put it, it's as if the arthritis has spread to the whole body, it's weird and uncomfortable.It was also accompanied by mild fever and chest tightness, diarrhea, retching, and intermittent chills.

　　Because I just gave away the antigen, so I don't know if I have been recruited.

　　I just placed an order on Jingdong, and I will test it again after the antigen arrives.

　　Hope you don't win!

　　,,, I will try my best to keep updating later, forgive me, I will go to bed first.
