Full-time actor

Chapter 192【19】Become famous all over the world!

"Chen Yu, I wish you all your dreams come true and win the Best Actor Award tomorrow!"

Accompanied by the elegant and soothing music in the Western restaurant, Liu Yifei, whose cheeks were somewhat rosy, slowly raised the goblet in her hand and spoke sincerely to Chen Yu.

His eyes were very blurry, filled with a deep heat.

If there is anyone in this world who desperately hopes that Chen Yu will win the Best Actor, then Liu Yifei in front of him must be one of them.

Even if Chen Yu becomes popular and the status gap between the two may be even greater, Liu Yifei still sincerely wishes her blessings.

Because, in Liu Yifei's heart, he is really worth it.

"Hopefully!"

Chen Yu smiled slightly. Of course he longed for this trophy in his heart, but...it was really slim.

Unless it's as popular as Venice.

Drip!

Just when Chen Yu was about to appreciate the rare girlish charm of Liu Yifei in front of him, a text message suddenly made him sober.

Although Liu Xiaoli is not here, and Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have spent such a beautiful world for two, the electronic light bulb is still very bright.

"my mother?"

Liu Yifei raised her head very wisely.

"Ok!"

"..."

Liu Yifei pouted in frustration. For the first time, she felt the joy of her mother's absence. She could do whatever she wanted without any burden.

However, she also understands her mother's devotion to herself.

"Then... let's go!"

Liu Yifei was not unhappy at all. She and Chen Yu watched a romantic movie for a long time and even held hands. They spent a long time shopping around Berlin and even had such a romantic candlelight dinner. Moreover, Liu Yifei was already there when Liu Xiaoli was not around. It is contentment.

The two people walked out of the Western restaurant, holding hands naturally, and strolled through Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.

"Walking back?"

Chen Yu asked for Liu Yifei's opinion, and Liu Yifei smiled: "Okay!"

She looked around, feeling the strong Valentine's Day atmosphere in the city, but she couldn't help but shiver.

Chen Yu quickly took off his coat.

Liu Yifei instantly leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder and subconsciously held his arm.

It was relatively cold at night in Berlin in February. Liu Yifei was wearing beautiful and cool clothes. She wanted style rather than warmth. It was fine during the day, but the cold wind was blowing at night; but now, her heart was boiling.

From time to time, there were other couples laughing wantonly on the road. Seeing the happy faces of the couples, Liu Yifei suddenly said: "How about we take a selfie?"

When the two of us were traveling in the afternoon, we bought a camera at the Sony Center and visited the churches, monuments, etc. around Potsdamer Platz.

"Selfie?"

Chen Yu did not refuse: "How to shoot?"

"You stand there, I'll stand in front of you!"

Liu Yifei suddenly picked up the camera and pointed the lens at herself.

"Let's shout eggplant together and look at the camera!"

"eggplant--"

"Yifei!"

Just as Liu Yifei was about to press the shutter, she heard a shout in her ear and couldn't help but turn her head.

Eyes facing each other.

Chen Yu couldn't help but kiss Liu Yifei's moist lips.

"Ok?"

Her eyes couldn't help but widen, and at the same time, her whole body was shocked by Chen Yu's unexpected kiss.

click -

What was originally an ordinary group photo was completely frozen there.

The scene suddenly became a little quiet.

Liu Yifei had imagined the scene of her first kiss countless times in her mind, but she never imagined that it would come so suddenly.

Her face instantly turned red and warm, and it seemed as if there was a little deer jostling in her heart.

How can this guy carry out a sneak attack? !

"Well……"

She pushed Chen Yu away violently, and suddenly started gasping for air.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Yu smiled, Liu Yifei's face turned red and she couldn't help but hit him.

"I also want to show the photo to my mother, how can I show it to her?"

Liu Yifei said angrily, her awkward look was particularly cute.

"Then don't show it to her. Leave the camera here for safekeeping!"

"That's not okay, I...I want to see it!"

"Actually, I think it's okay, Aunt Liu will understand!"

What happened to a kiss?

Boy and girl friends can't kiss anymore?

"Delete it!"

Liu Yifei held the camera and looked at the photos of Chen Yu secretly kissing her, and finally——

He put the camera in his pocket.

She didn't want to delete it.

"I can't let my mother see it. I'll copy it to my computer when I get back, and then delete the photo from the camera!"

"..."

So troublesome.

"I have a computer there!"

"Go back quickly, my mother is driving me to death!"

Liu Yifei could feel her cell phone vibrating in her trouser pocket.

The two of them quickly ran towards the hotel, and no one mentioned the little beauty frozen in the camera.

When they arrived at Park Hyatt, Liu Yifei didn't even dare to hold hands with Chen Yu. She felt like she was afraid of being seen by her parents.

Lao Deng, is it safe to park my will-o'-the-wisp downstairs?

Chen Yu looked at Liu Xiaoli walking downstairs and smiled inwardly.

"See you tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei turned around and waved to Chen Yu. Chen Yu kept smiling the whole time. Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly at the two people. It was really a mistake to let these two people indulge for a day today.

Young men and women in love really have no concept of time.

It’s already 10 o’clock in the evening and I didn’t come back!

But Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything. She was relieved when Liu Yifei came back.

Chen Yu watched the two people walk into the hotel, and then turned back to the Marriott. …

The next day, the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.

At 7: pm, the major awards of this film festival will be awarded one after another in the auditorium of the Film Palace.

The red carpet for the closing ceremony will start directly at 5 p.m.

Chen Yu still stepped on the red carpet with Li Yang and Lu Xuechang; Liu Yifei and her daughter stayed in the hotel to watch the live broadcast.

Spectators are not allowed to enter the awards area.

It was another star-studded night, even more grand than the opening ceremony, because many stars who did not arrive on the first day of the film festival came one after another in the following days, as well as award guests invited by the organizer.

Lao Mouzi looked high-spirited, dragging Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi and other leading actors, as well as more than a dozen people from the "Hero" crew, onto the red carpet of the closing ceremony.

He is bound to win the Golden Bear tonight.

The appearance of the three leading actresses Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep in "The Hours", which is also a favorite to win the award, heightened the red carpet atmosphere at the closing ceremony. Reached the climax.

Beauty is always the most indispensable embellishment of the red carpet ceremony.

Just after the large crews appeared one after another, the red carpet closing ceremony finally came to an end.

Chen Yu, Li Yang, and Lu Xuechang sat at the back of the awards hall early, waiting for the award ceremony to proceed.

"OK, gentlemen and ladies here, the awards ceremony for the main competition section of the 53rd Berlin Film Festival begins now!"

Without too many introductions, a female host from a German radio station came to the center of the stage.

“Let us welcome Atom Egoyan, the chairman of the jury of this year’s film festival, and his members with warm applause!”

"Come on!"

Under the warm cheers and applause of the audience, Atom Egoyan led a group of judges to the long platform beside the stage. The nine of them will later witness the entire award ceremony from the beginning to the end.

Each award will also be awarded by their on-site voting.

Yes, the seven silver bears and the golden bear symbolizing the best film were laid out one after another and placed on the table in front of them.

However, this year, there was no Best Newcomer Award, and it seemed that the organizers later canceled this award.

The first thing to be awarded is the only award at this film festival that is not a Silver Bear or a Golden Bear - the Blue Angel Award for Best European Film.

This is a movie only for Europe.

A guest read out the list of winners on the spot - "Goodbye Lenin"!

"Yes!"

Li Yang, who was sitting next to Chen Yu, immediately cheered because the screenwriter of this film was none other than Bernd Richtenberger, Li Yang's college classmate, who had come to pick them up a few days ago.

Now he was sitting in front of Li Yang.

"Bernd, congratulations!"

Li Yang stood up and hugged him, and all the creators of "Goodbye Lenin" immediately walked to the big stage to receive their awards.

Best European Movie!

Moreover, it does not mean that if you win this award, you will not be able to win the Silver Bear and Golden Bear in the future. There is no hope.

You can still get it!

There are precedents in history for the best European movies, which are the same movie as the final Golden Bear, and there are many of them; as long as your film is good enough, you can win a few silver bears and one golden bear in a single session.

“The next thing to be awarded is the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award!”

It is also commonly known as the consolation prize.

Alfred Bauer was the first president of the Berlin International Film Festival. After his death in 1986, in order to commemorate him, this award aimed at rewarding film innovation began in 1987, but it is more of a comforting nature. .

Moreover, in 2020, because Alfred Bauer was suspected of having served the film department during the Nazi Germany period, the organizers decided to stop awarding the award named after him.

The "Hero" in the previous life got this, I don't know if this life... is the same.

Chen Yu looked at Zhang Yimou, who was still several rows in front of him. He had no reaction at all to the award-winning guests on stage. Obviously, he did not feel that this award would belong to him.

Until, the award presenter took over the final list of winners from a judge.

""Hero", Zhang Yimou!"

"what?"

When the result came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

You know, "Heroes" is one of the most popular films at the Golden Bear this year's film festival, and "Screen" ranked second in votes, second only to "The Hours"!

This is truly an upset.

"Director Zhang probably didn't even think of it himself!"

Lu Xuechang clapped his hands there and watched Zhang Yimou and others go up to receive the award. It could be seen that although Lao Mouzi was smiling, his eyes were still extremely disappointed.

Unlike the Blue Angel Award for Best European Film just now, everyone knows that winning the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award almost misses the Golden Bear for Best Film.

At most, it can only compete for one Silver Bear for Best Director.

Soon, the Silver Bear Award for Best Film Score was also awarded directly.

The next thing to be awarded is the award won by "The Blind Shaft" in the previous life - the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. This is a very important award, and it is much more valuable than the two Silver Bear Awards just awarded.

This is one of the 5 silver bears after the best movie golden bear.

The other four Silver Bears are - Best Director, Best Actor and Actor and the Grand Jury Prize.

Chen Yu glanced at Li Yang and found that he was not nervous at all, as if he didn't think he could win the prize at all.

"Director Li, do you think "The Blind Shaft" can win this award?"

Chen Yu asked teasingly, and Li Yang suddenly laughed: "How is it possible, with so many Hollywood blockbusters and local European movies, my classmate's film Lenin is more profound than mine!"

"It's basically impossible——"

Before Li Yang finished speaking, he heard the award-winning guest saying: "'The Blind Shaft', Li Yang!"

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival is——"

""The Blind Shaft", Li Yang!"

boom!

All the guests in the audience were a little excited. Li Yang, who was sitting next to Chen Yu, opened his mouth. He turned his head stiffly and stared at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had already applauded enthusiastically and shouted loudly in his ear: "Director Li, you won the award!"

"Silver Bear, Silver Bear with outstanding artistic contribution!"

Click! Click!

The reporters who had been on the side for a long time immediately started pointing in Li Yang's direction and started taking photos frantically.

Everyone knows that tomorrow's headlines around the world will feature Li Yang and "Blind Well".

"Director Li, you can go up and receive the award!"

Next to him, Lu Xuechang was also proud of the man next to him. In his opinion, Li Yang was qualified enough to receive the Silver Bear trophy.

Heroes cherish heroes.

He also took the time to watch a broadcast of "The Blind Shaft" in the past few days, and was also shocked by the content of this movie.

"I won a prize!"

Li Yang also had tears in his eyes. He suddenly stood up and hugged Chen Yu and Lu Xuechang heavily.

In the past 20 years, he has devoted 20 years of hard work to his film career.

But he is still an unknown little director.

But now, many filmmakers around the world will remember the name of this Chinese director tonight.

Li Yang wiped the corners of his eyes, then smiled and rushed towards the podium.
