Full-time actor

Chapter 193 [20] Movie King, capture the bear!

"Thank you to the jury, thank you to the chairman Mr. Atom Egoyan, and thank you to all the judges!"

"I really didn't expect that I...I would be able to get this award!"

Li Yang choked again, raised the shining silver bear in his hand above his head, and squeezed it hard.

"call!"

"It's really unbelievable. I still feel like I'm in a dream!"

Li Yang took a long breath and finally smiled: "Actually, making this movie was much easier than I expected at the beginning. Thank you to Chen Yu, the leading male lead in the film -"

Li Yang suddenly pointed in the direction of Chen Yu. Chen Yu immediately smiled at everyone, waved his hands, and raised his thumb towards Li Yang.

"It was him who gave me the idea to shoot this movie!"

"We also fell in love with the novel "Shenmu" adapted from this movie. It was adapted by our famous Chinese writer Liu Qingbang based on real events in the coal mine!"

"Thank you to Teacher Liu Qingbang for writing such a good work, and thank you to Chen Yu, the star of this film, for giving me such confidence and investing in this film!"

"And he gave such a good performance!"

"Thank you!"

Li Yang bowed sincerely in the direction of Chen Yu. Everyone applauded collectively, and many people even whistled in the direction of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stood up quickly. He couldn't bear this big gift.

"To be honest, without his support, I might not have been able to shoot so smoothly!"

"And I can find some actors that I like so much!"

"I wish him the best in Berlin this year. In my opinion, he is fully qualified!"

Li Yang's heart was indeed full of gratitude to Chen Yu; he recalled the scene when he first met Chen Yu. Without any words, the other party agreed to invest and play the role of Song Jinming.

This indeed saved Li Yang a lot of things.

The 3-minute acceptance speech came to an end with Li Yang's thanks.

The next thing to be awarded is of course the Jury Prize!

Li Yang returned to his seat with a silver bear. Chen Yu quickly took the heavy silver bear trophy from his hand. Although it was not made of pure silver, it was quite heavy.

It's probably a silver-plated design.

"You're going to be famous this time, Director Li!"

Chen Yu congratulated Li Yang, but he heard the list of winners of the Jury Prize - Spike Jonze's "Adapted Screenplay"!

Starring Oscar winner Nicolas Cage, actress Meryl Streep, and future Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress, Tilda Swinton, who plays the Ancient One in Marvel!

"Then it seems that Best Picture is going to be won by "The Hours"!"

The three favorites of this year's Golden Bear - "The Hours", "Heroes" and "Adapted Screenplay"!

Although "Hero" is definitely not qualified to catch the bear, "Change the Script", Li Yang's "The Blind Shaft", and even Lu Xuechang's "Kara is a Dog" theoretically have a chance to get it.

However, the probability of a film winning both a Golden Bear and a Silver Bear is still very rare in the history of the Berlin Film Festival.

Therefore, "The Hours" now has a very high probability of winning the award.

"She's a movie queen!"

The Berlin International Film Festival's awards ceremony has finally reached its most exciting moments; and there are only four final awards left before the end.

Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture!

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival is——"

The award guest was the leading actress in the opening film "Chicago" and Oscar-nominated actress Renee Zellweger.

She announced the final candidate for the best actress in public.

"The Hours" Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep!

boom!

When Renée Zellweger finally read out the list of winners for Best Actress, everyone in the audience was a little excited!

3!

This Berlin International Film Festival actually gave birth to three movie queens, and they were all in the same movie.

clap clap clap!

The whole audience applauded enthusiastically, and in fact, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Manyu, the most popular actresses this time, were also among them.

But in the end, "The Hours" had the last laugh.

"This movie was really well made, but all three leading actresses won awards. This is the first time in Berlin's history!"

Li Yang smiled slightly and watched three world-renowned beauties walking onto the podium.

Chen Yu couldn't help but clap his hands too.

Of course he has also seen it. It is about three women from different eras who are inextricably linked to a British female writer. It is a movie about lesbians, but the plot is very in-depth.

In particular, Nicole Kidman's acting skills in this drama are even better than those of Golden Grand Slam winner Julianne Moore and Oscar winner Meryl Streep.

For this reason, at next year's Oscars, Nicole Kidman won the final Oscar for Best Actress, which was reserved for her alone; but this time in Berlin, it was very even, with all three leading actors winning Best Actress.

There will be a lot of disputes at next year's Oscars even over this final award, and the film will pose a big problem to the judges.

They didn't know whether to put Nicole Kidman in the Best Supporting Actress or Best Actress nomination.

Because in terms of length, Meryl Streep appears in the film for 42 minutes, Julianne Moore appears for 33 minutes, and Kidman appears for 30 minutes, which is indeed the length of time for supporting roles.

But in the end, the decision to give her the Best Actress award was a wise one!

However, the other two also lost their qualifications to be nominated for Best Actress.

"The Best Actor Award is about to be awarded!"

Li Yang watched Nicole Kidman finish their acceptance speeches, walked off the stage, and said something to Chen Yu.

"..."

Although Chen Yu had fantasies, he also knew that the probability of getting it was low.

How many actor-level tycoons are vying for this actor trophy; not to mention world-class Oscar-winning actors such as Nicolas Cage, George Clooney, and Edward Norton, as well as "Heroes", Jet Li, Tony Leung, Chen Taoist names and Zhen bullets are both qualified.

Uncle Ge from "Kara" is also fine.

In addition to these, there are obviously many actor-level actors in Europe.

Therefore, it is definitely difficult to win the Best Actor; and the gold content, let alone a world-class actor.

This is also the reason why the three major film festivals are as famous as the Oscars.

Tatata!

The sound of high-heeled shoes came from the right aisle of the stage. "Next, let us welcome Gong Li from China to present the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival!"

"welcome!"

As warm applause rang out, Gong Li appeared on the stage in a costume.

This is Chen Yu's schoolmate in Chinese opera.

She is also the first Chinese to win the Best Actress Award in Venice. Now, her nationality has not been changed to Singapore.

Moreover, she was also the chairman of the jury of the 2000th Berlin International Film Festival in 50, and last year she served as the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival. Her prestige and status in the international film world are currently untouchable by any domestic actress.

This is how the name Gonghuang came from.

"Phew, I'm so stressed!"

Gong Li stood on the stage, smiling slightly; she looked at the members of the jury who were counting and judging. At this time, the lights on the stage also hit many actors who were popular actors.

There's Nicolas Cage, George Clooney...

"There's a chance!"

Li Yang suddenly patted Chen Yu's thigh: "We Chinese people are here to award the award. The organizer must have deep intentions!"

"?"

Chen Yu looked at him: "Director Li, are you overthinking?"

This made it clear that Li Yang was comforting him.

If you find a Chinese, it means that the Chinese will definitely win the prize? The jury results are not out yet!

Besides, I’m not the only Chinese person shortlisted for Best Actor!

"To put it this way, Tony Leung has a better chance of winning the Best Actor than me!"

"no the same!"

Li Yang shook his head and said to Lu Xuechang: "I can even get the silver bear. I have a strong hunch that Chen Yu should also get it!"

"Ha ha!"

"I also think that you have a higher chance of winning than the other male actors, except George Clooney!"

George Clooney, like Chen Yu, has two films shortlisted for the best film in the main competition, and he also directed and starred in one of them!

"Okay, the list is already in my hands!"

Gong Li took the list of winners handed over by the emcee from the jury and suddenly reached out and patted his chest a few times: "I'm so nervous, I'm really nervous!"

Snapped!

She opened it slowly.

On the big screen on the awards stage, the faces of many popular candidates for Best Actor suddenly popped up.

Nicolas Cage leaned on the back of the chair, holding his chin in one hand and biting his lip with his teeth. Even though he had won the Oscar for Best Actor, he was still a little nervous and expecting; after all, who would think that he has too many actor trophies? !

George Clooney also put his hands on his knees, his eyes were somewhat focused, and his ears were raised tightly.

There is another popular candidate, Sam Rockwell, the male lead in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". This movie is directed by George Clooney; Chen Yu remembers that he was the best actor in Berlin in his previous life.

Click, click, click!

The photos of the Best Actor candidates were projected on the big screen, including Tony Leung and Yan Yan from "Hero".

In the end, Chen Yu actually... saw himself.

"What the hell?"

"Am I up there too?"

This was something that surprised Chen Yu.

You should know that not all male actors in the film will be uploaded; if they were to be uploaded, hundreds of photos would not be uploaded, and more than 10 candidates were uploaded.

And if Chen Yu is ultimately unsuccessful and the draft is written as a Best Actor nomination, there will be no problem.

In fact, every time actors and actresses are shown on the big screen at the Berlin Film Festival, it is basically determined that they have the ability to compete for the best actor.

It's a default nomination, but there are a lot of members.

A total of 12!

Not surprisingly, the final candidate for the Best Actor will be born among these 12 people.

"Who could it be?"

Gong Li had already opened the list of best actors, and her expression suddenly paused for a moment. Finally, she smiled a little, then leaned in front of the microphone and loudly said: "The winner of the best actor at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival is - —”

Swish!

She suddenly looked in Chen Yu's direction, and Chen Yu's heart suddenly slowed down for a moment.

Gong Li's look was also seen by the audience watching the Berlin Film Festival live broadcast all over the world, and Liu Yifei was certainly no exception. She stood in front of the TV in the hotel, covering her face with her hands, her whole body breathing heavily. There seems to be some stagnation.

Liu Xiaoli next to her was also watching without blinking, concentrating and holding her breath.

The next second, two extremely clear words roared directly from Gong Li's mouth.

"Chen Yu!"

"'Cara is a Dog', 'The Blind Shaft'!"

"Congratulations!"

wow——

All the guests in the audience let out incredible exclamations. Nicolas Cage opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe what he heard. George Clooney also turned around suddenly and looked towards the direction where he was sitting in the back row. .

Because at this time, the lights of the Berlin stage had already hit Chen Yu's head.

Unpopular!

An upset that often appears at film festivals was born.

Chen Yu!

A name that was extremely unfamiliar to everyone present.

He won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Movie King, catch the bear!
