Chapter 866 Bear! Bear! Bear!

"...I would also like to thank my mother, it is her encouragement that has kept me going all these years! Thank you to my wife and children..."

March 4, 3:40 pm local time in Germany.

The speaker on the stage is a young director from Hungary.

In the audience, because they are both from China, the crew of "The Promise" and "Red Sorghum" were arranged to sit next to each other by the organizer—of course, not to mention the comparison with the Oscars, the closing ceremony of the Yangcheng Film Festival, etc. Yes, the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is not even comparable to Cannes.

Relatively shabby.

Zhang Zifang leaned a little to this side, and asked with a smile, "Are you ready for your acceptance speech?"

Li Qian smiled, "Not necessarily!"

Zhang Zifang smiled ambiguously at him, but I don't know if it was Li Qian's illusion. I always felt that there was a little sadness and helplessness in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Liao Liao flew to Berlin temporarily, and according to inside information, he was going to participate in the award presentation—all insiders had their own news channels, and no one was much slower than the other. In the same way, no one needs to be much lower in IQ! Liao Liao was invited here on such a short notice, and it was said that he was going to present the Silver Bear Award together with Joshua Chris. "Red Sorghum" is probably about to win an award!

Let Liao Liao present the award to Li Qian, look, what a gimmick!

But at the same time, if "Red Sorghum" wins the Silver Bear Award, can you still expect that the Berlin Film Festival will award another major award to another Chinese film at the same time?

How can it be!

Over the years, although Chinese films have been defeated and defeated repeatedly, one reality that has to be admitted is that, for Chinese films, it is difficult to win even a significant award in the three major European film festivals. Very difficult! — Not to mention taking two at the same time, that's close to impossible!

"Fake it! Your director, screenwriter, and leading actor, one of them will definitely win an award!"

When Zhang Zifang spoke, there was a slight taste of Wu Nong's soft words, and even when he was emotional, his voice was soft and waxy-a little envious.

After a pause, she said sincerely: "Your film is really good! I said it at the time, and it surprised me! So, you deserve the award! I am envious, I am jealous, but I also admire !"

Speaking of this, the woman from the southern country smiled and said, "You are trying to win glory for our Chinese movies!"

Li Qian shrugged, "Sister Zhang, I'm really not sure that I can win the award. Don't beat me up so hard in advance. If I don't win the award later, I will be very disappointed!"

Zhang Zifang laughed and shook her head, "Based on what I know about the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival, don't worry, it won't happen!"

After a pause, she sighed, and said: "Since Director Qin's "Red Light District" won two awards in Venice in 1994, it has been nine years for our domestic films, and we haven't been able to get back any weight from the three major European film festivals." Now, you have accepted this award! Congratulations!"

Li Qian could only shrug his shoulders.

The result hasn't come out yet. What can he say at this time?

But I don't know if it's because of some disappointment, Zhang Zifang seems to talk a lot today, at least much more than when we chatted together that day! When she was done feeling, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Qian, as if she had thought of something. She didn't say softly until Li Qian was scared by her, "Director Qin's work is called "Red Light District", and yours is called "Red Sorghum". "! Could it be that European film festivals are particularly fond of Chinese red?"

Speaking of this, she said sincerely: "Then tell me, my next film, do you want to make..."Red Lantern"? "Red Envelope"? Red... Carpet?... something like that?"

Li Qian was stunned.

But before he could say anything, Zhang Zifang had already lowered her head and covered her mouth with a chuckle.

Only then did Li Qian realize that he had been molested.

…………

It is also a film event that has attracted worldwide attention. The Oscar Awards Gala lasts for several hours. The closing ceremony of the Yangcheng Film Festival has an hour and a half of cultural performances interspersed in the middle. The Tokyo Film Festival also holds a lot of small programs every year. Showcasing the excellent culture of the country, but the three major film festivals in Europe are more shabby than the other in this respect-but the advantage is that they have less flowers, and their awards are very clean and neat.

Here Li Qian was still chatting with Zhang Zifang, when he heard that the host had invited the international superstar Joshua Chris and the famous global queen China Liao to appear on stage.

Li Qian and Zhang Zifang quickly finished chatting and sat up with each other.

Turning her head inadvertently, she could see that Qin Jingjing and Fu Xuelong over there looked like they couldn't even catch their breath. Looking down, Qin Jingjing had already clenched her fists.

Yes, knowing that Liao Liao was suddenly invited by the organizer to fly to Berlin to present the award, and the Silver Bear Award was to be presented, many people guessed that it should be "Red Sorghum".

And theoretically speaking, if the Silver Bear Award is awarded to Li Qian himself, whether it is the best screenwriter, best director or best actor, in short, the trophy must be handed over from Liao Liao to Li Qian in order to achieve the goal of hosting. The party wants to achieve the maximum publicity effect.

So basically, this Silver Bear Award should have nothing to do with Fu Xuelong's Best Cinematography or Qin Jingjing's Best Actress.

But it would be nice if only Li Qian won the award!

And the Silver Bear!

No matter which Silver Bear Li Qian will win in the end, the best screenwriter is very good, the best actor is very good, and the best director is also very good. In short, this will definitely be the first Silver Bear in the history of Chinese-language movies prize!

Although Qin Wei won the Golden Lion Award for himself with "Red Light District" at the Venice Film Festival, he also helped Ming Xiaojing win the Silver Lion Award for Best Actress, making her a goddess His performance on the stage seemed to be half a notch behind, and the sensationalism was also a little bit off, but...it was already very good!

Zero breakthrough at the Berlin Film Festival!

The three major film festivals in Europe, we are here, and then we will plant the flag!

In the past few days when she came here, Qin Jingjing has been pestering John Deiss to inquire about things like the three major European film festivals and the actor union in the United States. The theory that each section has a direct lineage is relatively familiar, and I agree with it.

Therefore, Li Qian, as a singing superstar with global influence, came to Europe for the first time to participate in the film festival, and presented an astonishingly excellent work. Then, after the Berlin Film Festival gave him the trophy, it would be easy for him to It will create a cooperative situation where both sides have a tacit understanding.

If Li Qian can still produce an excellent work in the future, the Berlin Film Festival will definitely be inclined to the greatest extent-at that time, as long as the heroine is still himself, as long as he works hard and progresses as always, Following Li Qian's footsteps, who dares to say that he will not achieve the second honor of a Chinese actor in the three major European film festivals after Ming Xiaojing!

So at this moment, Qin Jingjing's body was tense, but her heart was excited.

Even thinking about it, thinking about the wonderful prospect, she couldn't help but flushed a little, like a peach blossom—to some extent, she was the kind of person who pursued her performance achievements far more than money people. For her, it’s good to spend enough money, not extravagant, but the higher the acting skills, the better, the more difficult the role, the better, the more breakthrough the performance, the better, the more awards the better, the more people’s praise and recognition, the better. good!

While he was in reverie, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Qin Jingjing was startled, turned her head, and saw Li Qian's smiling face, looked at her, then at Fu Xuelong over there, and said with a smile: "Both of you, take it easy, don't be so nervous!"

Qin Jingjing pursed her lips and nodded.

Fu Xuelong also seemed to want to nod, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back, leaned over, and turned his head to glance at the stage, hearing that Liao Liao and Joshua Chris were still having a little humor before the award ceremony, Then he asked in a low voice: "The one who will win the prize later is you, are you not nervous?"

Is Li Qian nervous?

nonsense! Of course nervous!

This is the Berlin Film Festival!

Regardless of past and present lives, this time and space or that time and space, this is one of the most influential film festivals in the world. The Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival is also a film award recognized worldwide!

It can be said that it is the greatest praise and encouragement for a filmmaker!

Before coming to this time and space, Li Qian was filming TV dramas there, and they can only be regarded as small and medium-cost TV dramas, and he is at best an assistant director!

Therefore, even national drama festivals and Golden Eagle Awards are very attractive to him!

When he came to this time and space, because the advantages he brought with him were too great, and there seemed to be a dislocation in his heart of "I am an outsider" that seemed to be above the whole world, so he has always been in love with those music awards in China. Either way, the awards for movies and TV shows are not very exciting.

However, that does not include the grand prizes of the three major European film festivals!

It was true that he didn't care if he won the prize or not, but it was because he thought it was impossible for him to get it, so he was so calm and calm. Now he knows that he has at least 70% to 80% chance He will get the Silver Bear Award. If you keep him calm and keep calm, how is that possible!

But, then again... His self-control ability is somewhat better than that of Qin Jingjing, Fu Xuelong, and even Zhang Zifang.

Because thinking about it carefully, Zhang Guoshi's version of "Red Sorghum" is even better than his own version, and he directly won the Golden Bear Award!

So...a Silver Bear Award, don't be shy!

Although it is impossible for Zhang Guoshi to see it, he always feels that he will see it, so he is afraid of being laughed at by others!

So at this time, Li Qian continued to pretend to be calm, and said with a little bit of pretense: "Nervous...and nervous, but you're not as obvious as you are, are you?"

Fu Xuelong was choked by him, and just about to speak, he heard Liao Liao on the stage saying in English: "Then, I announce that the winner of the Silver Bear Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival is...Fu Xuelong, Best Cinematography, "Red Sorghum!"

At this time, Fu Xuelong was in the audience, arguing with Li Qian through Qin Jingjing, "Am I obvious? I think... ah? What?"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and Qin Jingjing was also stunned for a moment.

At this time, the audience applauded.

Zhang Zifang smiled, with a hint of astonishment that hadn't dissipated on his face, and said to Li Qian: "Congratulations! Xiao Fu, the best photography, Silver Bear Award, come to the stage to accept the award!"

Fu Xuelong was shocked.

Or... a face full of shock.

Surrounded by applause, he was pushed by Qin Jingjing who came back to his senses, and subconsciously stood up.

At this moment, my mind is confused!

Fuck, the first Best Photography Silver Bear Award in Asia!

it's me?

Fuck!

At this time, I suddenly remembered that before the filming started, Li Qian once said to himself, "Work hard, give me 120% of your talents, and strive to become famous in the first battle! When the time comes, let's go to Europe together for a while." Let's see if we can get some prize back!"

He turned to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian yelled at him, "Don't stand still, go up!"

Fu Xuelong didn't know if he was used to being yelled at by Li Qian, and it almost became a muscle memory. Li Qian told him to "go up quickly", but before his brain could react, his body had subconsciously turned around and walked to the side passage - he lifted his foot , touched the leg of the person in the seat over there.

At this time, he seemed to be a fool!

But at this time, he had just left the seat and walked into the aisle leading to the stage. At the awards ceremony, Liao Liao's voice sounded again, "Qin Jingjing, Best Actress, "Red Sorghum"!"

Qin Jingjing was looking at Fu Xuelong's back and applauding cheerfully, thinking that it really was the Silver Bear Award!

Although it was a bit different than expected, Li Qian was not the one who finally won the award, but after all, the Silver Bear Award is still in hand! Best photography is a technical award, especially the best photography at the Berlin Film Festival. Globally speaking, the brand is still very strong and has a lot of gold!

Of course, the film won the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography. Although Fu Xuelong was the winner and not Li Qian, no one would be so stupid as to attribute the high level of photography to the photographer! Therefore, Li Qian can be regarded as a small half of the winners!

So... rejoice! Happy! Happy!

Then, while she was applauding, she suddenly heard her name.

Just like before, out of respect for all the guests, when saying "Best Actress" and "Red Sorghum", they must be translated into English, but the three words "Qin Jingjing" are pure names, so Liao The pronunciation of Liao is correct and round, which is absolutely Chinese.

Qin Jingjing was also stunned.

I?

Silver Bear?

Her performance was not much better than that of Fu Xuelong just now. She looked overly surprised, and turned to look at Li Qian, pointing to herself, "Me?"

Li Qian couldn't help laughing, and pointed excitedly at the stage, "Don't talk nonsense, of course it's you, hurry up and get on stage! The bar is blooming!"

In the same film festival, the same film won two Silver Bear Awards at once!

Although this is definitely not the first time, it is still a glory enough to be re-entered in the history of the Berlin Film Festival!

For Chinese films, it is even more brilliant than ever!

Before the applause fell, it was already enthusiastic again.

Many people turned their heads to look at the location of the crew of "Red Sorghum".

Qin Jingjing stood up stupidly, listening to Li Qian yelling something in her ear, similar to Fu Xuelong, she subconsciously walked to the aisle next to her.

At this time, Li Qian's heart was bright and his face was flushed.

Zhang Zifang leaned over, shaking her head slightly, with envy on her face, "Two Silver Bear Awards, Xiaoqian, you are going to become famous in one fell swoop!"

Li Qian was stupid, at this moment he could only laugh "hehe".

Although the winners of the two Silver Bear Awards were not myself, they were brought out by themselves, and they were all won through their "Red Sorghum". This feeling is like winning the award for myself, Basically there is not much difference!

So he laughed, and humbly said to Zhang Zifang, who still had nothing to gain until now: "Thank you, sister Zhang! Thank you!"

But at this moment, Joshua Chris stood aside with a smile on his face in the award presenter's seat on the stage, while Liao Liao, who was holding a card, had a mysterious smile on his face, and unexpectedly came third. He lowered his head for the second time, approached the microphone, and said with a smile, "Li Qian, Best Actor, "Red Sorghum"!"

"Wow……"

There was an exclamation in the audience.

The applause seemed to pause for a moment, and then became even more enthusiastic!

Fu Xuelong was still on the road, and had already stopped in astonishment.

Qin Jingjing also just entered the aisle, walked a few steps forward, and stopped in shock at this moment.

The gazes of almost everyone in the entire award presentation scene could not help turning or turning their heads at this moment, looking at the location of the crew of "Red Sorghum"!

Three Silver Bears in one film festival?

It’s not like it didn’t happen in history. In 1974, there were three Silver Bear Awards. One of the best screenwriters was not there before. The judges at that time thought it was added, and then the Berlin Film Festival began. With the Best Screenplay Award, in 1990, there were also three Silver Bear Awards. But whether it was the one in 1974 or the one in 1990, without exception, three Silver Bear Awards were awarded to three different films!

But this time, three Silver Bear Awards were given out at the same time, and it was actually given to the same movie!

This is an absolute first in the decades-long history of the Berlin Film Festival!

Therefore, the audience was amazed and watched!

The organizers and judges of the three major European film festivals, one counts as one, are all willful enough, so it is not surprising that they will make some strange decisions, such as at the Cannes Film Festival in another time and space At that time, some judges insisted on voting for Leslie Cheung as the best actress, because she believed that Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine" was a woman!

Therefore, it is true that three Silver Bear Awards are awarded to the same film, which will indeed make people a little surprised and a little bit stunned, but after the surprise, think about the temper of the judges, the batch of movies from all over the world People, soon relieved again - of course, disappointment is inevitable!

Three Silver Bear Awards, awarded to the same film, such a feat, will push "Red Sorghum", which was highly praised at the film festival, to a very, very high position in one fell swoop!

Even, maybe even the limelight of the Golden Bear Award at this year's film festival will be completely overwhelmed by it!

Li Qian was pushed by Zhang Zifang, and subconsciously stood up.

Poker face.

Silly and silly.

But at this time, no one knew, he was saying in his heart——

"Fuck!"
