Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

"Hi, Link!"

At the Berlin Film Palace, Link was talking to Jamie Jones about the films participating in the film festival when Jake Gyllenhaal came over, wearing a down jacket, jeans, and big leather boots, which was similar to Link's outfit.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a famous American actor, and his representative works include "Brokeback Mountain", "Donnie Darko", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Love and Other Drugs", etc. Last year, he starred in "Source Code", which had good box office and reputation, and he is a first-line actor in the entertainment industry.

His uncle is Anderson Gyllenhaal of the Miami Herald, who is also an old acquaintance of Link.

In addition, Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the eight members of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival.

"Jack, how is the selection going?"

Link shook hands with him.

"It went smoothly, Link, your performance in "Buried" was great, and all of our judges were conquered by your performance."

Jake Gyllenhaal smiled.

"Really?"

Link glanced at him and smiled, "Hearing you say that, I think I can prepare my acceptance speech in advance."

"Haha, yes, I suggest you do that."

Jack Gyllenhaal squinted and smiled, said see you later, and turned to walk to the coffee shop next door.

"Is he kidding?"

Link asked suspiciously.

"Boss, it shouldn't be. The three major film festivals have a tradition that the jury members will notify the winners before the awards ceremony, asking them to prepare in advance and try to attend the awards ceremony in person. Jack Gyllenhaal is the only American on the jury, so it's appropriate for him to notify you."

Jamie Jones said.

Link raised his eyebrows, "Do you mean I'm the best actor this year?"

"Yes, boss, congratulations on becoming the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival."

Jamie Jones smiled.

"Link, you performed very well in "Buried Alive", I think it's very appropriate for you to win this award."

Director Rodrigo Cortez also smiled and congratulated him.

Link waved his hands, thinking that he couldn't be happy too early. Maybe Jack Gyllenhaal was joking, but in order to avoid accidents, he still prepared a speech in advance.

On the afternoon of the 26th, the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony was held in the Berlin Film Palace next to Potsdam Square. All the films and crews shortlisted for the main competition unit were invited to participate.

Link also changed into a thick and warm suit and came to the awards ceremony.

The scene was very lively, with more than 5,000 seats, full. He and director Rodrigo Cortes were in the front row, with the crew of "Royal Affair" and "Caesar Must Die" sitting next to them, and the crew of "White Deer Plain" sitting right behind him.

After he arrived, the filmmakers around him came to say hello.

Link dealt with one or two, and then sat down to wait for the prize.

A total of 15 awards were presented at the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony, including the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, the Silver Bear Award for Jury, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director, the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay, the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor and Actress, etc.

The first award was the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented to the famous American actress Meryl Streep in recognition of her contribution to the film industry. In addition, her "The Iron Lady" was also exhibited at this film festival.

After the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Alfred Award, the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film, the Silver Bear Award for Best Short Film, the Special Honor Award for Best Short Film, and the Children's Jury Special Recognition Award were presented.

Then several major awards were presented.

Among them, the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay was won by the screenwriter of the Danish/Czech/German film "Royal Affair".

The Best Actress Award was won by Rachel Mavazan, the heroine of the Canadian film "Wizards of War". Zhang Yuqi, the heroine of "White Deer Plain", was also nominated for the award, but failed to win.

The third award was the Best Photography Award, which was won by Lutz, the photographer of "White Deer Plain".

The fourth award was presented for Best Actor, with a total of five nominees, including Link from Buried, Salvatore Striano from Caesar Must Die, Mads Mikkelsen from A Royal Affair, Attila Ejedde from Just the Wind, and Ronald Zehrfeld from Barbara.

"Who won the Best Actor Award at the 62nd Berlin Film Festival?"

German actress Diane Kruger opened the card and took a look, then handed it to her companion Léa Seydoux.

Farewell, My Queen, starring the two, was the opening film of this year's Berlin Film Festival, and Children of the Mountain, starring Léa Seydoux, was also shortlisted for the main competition unit.

"Buried, Mr. Linkback!"

Léa Seydoux looked at Link in the audience and smiled.

"Wow!"

Before Link could make any surprised expressions, there were bursts of exclamations from the surroundings, and several actors from the crew congratulated him.

Wow!

There was a warm applause from the audience, and the main clips of Buried began to be shown on the big screen at the scene.

Link was lying in a dim wooden box, wearing a dirty T-shirt, holding a lighter in his hand, trying to make a phone call. His expression changed from excitement to loss to despair. Link's simple facial expression completely revealed his inner emotions, which was very contagious.

"Link is really amazing. He can do well in everything he does. A man like him is a real good man."

Zhang Yuqi clapped her hands and praised Link.

"Yes, he is also good at picking up girls."

Wang Anquan said sourly.

In the aisle, Link shook hands with a group of congratulators, strode up to the podium, hugged Diane Kruger and Léa Seydoux, and accepted their congratulations.

Léa Seydoux, who had collaborated with him in "Midnight in Paris," asked him to buy him a drink when they hugged her.

Link smiled, agreed, took a shining Silver Bear trophy from Diane Kruger, walked to the microphone and gave an acceptance speech, took a breath and said with a smile:

"Thank you! I'm very happy, and I would like to thank the Berlin Film Festival and the jury members for allowing me to receive this heavy trophy.

In the past few years, I have received many awards, including sports, music, and performances, but no award has surprised me as much as the Silver Bear Award. This is the most meaningful award I have received. one of the awards.

I would like to share this award with director Rodrigo Cortez, whose guidance made my performance in the box more powerful. I would also like to thank my wife Eva, my children, and the lovely fans. Guys, thank you for your continued support, I love you. "

Link shouted, holding up the Silver Bear.

Bang bang bang!

Waves of neat and powerful applause came from the audience. It took more than two minutes from the time Link finished his acceptance speech to the time he walked off the stage for the applause to gradually subside.

"Mr. Baker, congratulations on winning the award."

After he stepped down, the actors around him once again congratulated him, including Zhang Yuqi, Isabelle Huppert, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Robert Pattinson, Keanu Reeves, Michael Law Spender, Antonio Banglas et al.

Link responded politely.

After the Best Actor, the remaining awards will continue to be awarded.

In the end, the Italian film "Caesar Must Die" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, the Hungarian/German/French film "The Wind" won the Jury Silver Bear Award, and the German film "Barbara" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director.

After the awards ceremony, the organizers once again screened "Caesar Must Die" as the closing film.

Link's schedule was tight and he didn't have time to watch the movie here. He only watched it for half an hour and left early.

When Link left the Movie Palace, Nini caught up with him from behind, blushed and congratulated him, and finally asked him hesitantly if he wanted coffee. It was snowing outside, and drinking some coffee would be warmer.

Link saw the girl's rosy and shy face and twinkling eyes, and nodded in agreement.
