Eight Hundred and Eighth 2 Unpopular

It is precisely because last year that the best actor and best actress both broke out in shocking upsets, and even one of the few upsets in the history of the Berlin Film Festival. The bold choice demonstrates the firm determination of the Berlin Film Festival to reform and innovate. On the road of advocacy, the further and further, the more stable it is.

Naturally, this year's gaze involuntarily focused on these two awards again: is it possible to continue to upset? In what form will it blow up again? If there is no upset, who is the popular award-winning actor? The best actors and actresses of the three major European film festivals are comparable to the Oscars, or even better.

Under everyone's attention, Jake Gyllenhaal stepped onto the stage in a suit and leather shoes. However, without wearing a tie, he still looked very relaxed, without extra politeness or greetings, and briefly chatted about the Berlin Film Festival. He raised the envelope in his hand, "Everyone is waiting for me to walk on the stage tonight, obviously not expecting a talk show, then, I'll get into the theme quickly."

There was no laughter. American-style humor doesn't work well in Germany. Facing the indifferent faces in the audience, the corner of Jack's smile froze, and then he let out a heavy breath and sighed, "Hoo, welcome to Berlin. " A self-joking, incidentally, made fun of Berlin's "coldness".

This time, there was a chuckle of laughter at the scene, and the tense and stiff atmosphere was slightly eased.

After that, Jack stopped talking nonsense and said into the microphone, "The 62nd Berlin Film Festival, the winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress is..." He opened the envelope and looked at the card inside, with a smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth. The thought flowed out, "Congratulations, Rachel-Mwanza, 'Battlefield Wizard'."

Quiet, quiet, still quiet, everyone looked at each other: another upset.

"Battlefield Wizard" focuses on Congo's civil war, looking at it from the perspective of an underage girl.

She lost her parents in the war and became a child soldier after being forced into the jungle. The rebel commander not only trained her to be a killing machine, but also ordered her to be his "sex" object. In the midst of fear and turmoil, the girl meets a white-haired boy, falls in love with him, and calls him "the wizard".

In this work, most of them are amateur non-professional actors, and they are also real witnesses and victims of this civil war.

The heroine Rachel Marwazan is a 14-year-old girl. Her real life is as tragic as her character. She is tortured and suffering by war and living on the streets. Unintentionally, a documentary filmmaker recorded her The street life of the film, and the documentary was later seen by Canadian director Kim-Nguyen, which gave birth to "Battlefield Wizard".

Rachel is not only an amateur actor,

"Battlefield Wizard" was her first performance; and at just fourteen, she became the youngest actress in the history of the Berlin Film Festival.

Unpopular, unpopular again.

After a short period of silence, Renly stood up and applauded, for this award, for this work, and for the girl who came out of the war.

Just like the theme of the film "Teaching", in this world, whether it is a developed country or a backward country, children are still a group that has been tormented and has received much attention. A scene of life in a city; and "Battlefield Wizard" records the reality of the African world.

The fourteen-year-old girl walked from the war-torn streets of Congo to the podium of the Berlin Film Festival. This journey is too hard and too easy.

This is the meaning of the existence of the film, allowing people to see a wider, deeper and more magnificent world, realize their own insignificance, always maintain a humble and contented heart, and work hard to live. So Renly got up, for the second time tonight after Meryl Streep, to applaud Rachel Marvasin.

One, two... Gradually, all the guests in the audience stood up one after another, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the audience.

However, the protagonist did not appear, and everyone was looking for the winner. Jack had to step down from the stage, and found Rachel, a thin, small, bewildered, in the crowd, surrounded by layers of layers, Rachel didn't seem to understand what was going on, Also don't know what to do.

Director Kim Noguyi was standing next to him, but at this time he was already crying. He tried to speak several times, but ended in failure several times.

Jack kept explaining the situation to Rachel, and then tried to reach out, but when Rachel saw Jack's hands, she shrank back suddenly, curled up in the chair, exuding vigilance all over her body, which made Jack too. Helpless.

Suddenly, Renly realized something, stepped forward quickly, crouched down beside Jack, and said in French, "Are you Rachel? Nice to meet you, I'm Renly." In Congo, French is One of their official languages, "Battlefield Wizard," was also filmed in French, and Rachel couldn't understand English.

"You've won. Now, you should come on stage to receive your trophy and express your thoughts." Renly stared at Rachel, without dodging, without flinching, without sympathy or pity, a faint water light deep in his eyes , gleaming with friendliness and tenderness. Such Rachel reminds him of Anne Silliman.

Rachel hesitantly looked at the director beside her, Jin nodded in agreement, Rachel looked at Renly again, and said timidly, "I don't know what to say."

"You can say whatever you want. This is your moment," Renly said with a smile.

Rachel's eyes lit up, "Really? Even telling Kanida that I miss him so much, is that okay?"

Renly doesn't know who Kaneda is, maybe it's Rachel's little friend, maybe it's Rachel's relative. However, Renly smiled and nodded again, affirming, "No problem."

Rachel showed a smile, stood up, and looked at Jin again. After getting the approval, she took a step forward and looked around carefully. The tension gradually faded, and the novelty gradually sprouted. She even walked in Jack's footsteps. Ahead, head towards the stage.

Jack only had time to wink at Renly, mouth quickly, "Thank you," and then immediately turned his head to escort Rachel onto the stage amid the thunderous applause of the audience. Afterwards, Jack walked around Rachel quickly, came to the emcee first, and began to perform his duty as an awarding guest: taking over the trophy and presenting the trophy.

Jack gestured to the microphone not far away with encouraging eyes, stepped aside, and handed the stage to Rachel.

With a juvenile spirit, Rachel became a little bolder, took a step forward, and started to express her acceptance speech loudly into the microphone.

It's more of a mood than an acceptance speech: she's trying to tell Kanida that she misses him, that she'll be back soon, that there's a lot of aspirin, a lot of clean water -- and there's She will bring back the hot water, so that Kanida don't worry.

Although the testimonials were all in French, they were long-winded and long-winded, and they were not standard French. The accents and words of the dialects were a little weird; but in Berlin, more than half of the guests at the scene could understand them, and no one was impatient. No one urged, and it was rare to see Rachel finished her acceptance speech for nearly two and a half minutes.

When Rachel stepped off the stage, the applause broke out again, not only for this little girl who was only fourteen years old, but also for the African continent that was still tormented by war.

Watching Rachel's figure disappear into the darkness behind the halo, the eyes of all the guests turned to Jack again, waiting for the next award to be presented.

The awards ceremony is finally starting to get interesting. The best actress award was awarded to Rachel Mahwazin, who was only 14 years old, continuing the unpopular trend of last year, but is this a chain phenomenon or an independent phenomenon? Who will win the next best actor award?

Faintly, expectations and curiosity began to slowly heat up.

Jack seemed to feel the atmosphere too, with a smile on his face, but it always made people feel meaningful. He stood in front of the microphone again, "Congratulations again to Rachel Mahwazan. Excellent performance, I personally like it very much. A work." With a simple sigh, Jack changed the subject and returned to the whole, "Next, the best actor."

Above the film festival, actors do not distinguish between leading and supporting roles, and all actors are treated equally. In the shortlisted entries in the competition unit, every actor who appeared is qualified to participate in the competition. To exaggerate, even those who have no lines are candidates. As a result, more than a dozen entries, hundreds of It is definitely not an easy task to stand out from thousands of actors.

Every year, the best actors and actresses of the three major European film festivals attract much attention, and the discussion level is even more enthusiastic than the Jury Prize, only second to the highest award.

At this moment, after Rachel-Mawazan won the upset, the attention of the best actor has skyrocketed, and the air on the scene is almost freezing, and the award ceremony finally has the smell of ignition powder, which permeates quietly.

Jack continued the previous style without too much nonsense. He simply opened the envelope neatly, took out the card, and glanced at it. The smile bloomed like this, bright and bright, and those eyes full of happiness seemed to be full of happiness. Said: I voted for him, this is the actor I chose, and I am very satisfied with the result.

The bright aura emanating from the whole body made the atmosphere of the scene drop a little: Isn't it the unpopular one you were looking forward to? Could it be another popular actor? Unpopularity is always accompanied by controversy and excitement, especially after Rachel, the unpopularity seems to be the one that everyone expects. But, if it's not unpopular, then who is it?

His eyes froze slightly, and he quickly searched for information in his mind: Who are the hot winners in the past eleven days?

However, Jack did not create any suspense, and immediately spoke up. Before the thoughts in the audience's minds could emerge, Jack's voice cut off all speculation and revealed the answer, "The 62nd Berlin Film Festival, the most The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actor is... Renly Hall, 'Transcendence'."
