Chapter 555: The Pervert Acted in Vain (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Although waiting is a torment, when this torment is filled with hope, you can take it easy.

In the next few days, Hao Yun has been frequenting various film salons and premieres.

He watched a lot of films and learned the techniques of other directors.

In order to learn these knowledge more conveniently, he even talked with the corresponding directors for more than several hours.

For example, the director of "Offside" Jafar Panahi.

This brother's first feature film "White Balloon" was the first Iranian film to win an important award (Golden Camera Award) at the Cannes Film Festival, and the subsequent feature films "Who Can Take Me Home", "Circle of Life", "Crimson Gold" and the current "Offside" have all won awards at major Western film festivals.

After his film was finished, he was invited by Hao Yun to have dinner and coffee.

They talked from more than six in the afternoon until eleven thirty at night.

Jafar Panahi originally thought that Hao Yun was just seeking fame, but after the real communication, he realized how hard Hao Yun studied.

This Chinese guy is really trying to squeeze him dry.

However, while he was afraid, the Iranian international director could not help but feel a strong appreciation.

Therefore, he and Hao Yun attended several movie premieres together.

There were more than 10 to 20 movie premieres at this film festival, and there were several premieres almost every day.

And Hao Yun was also very satisfied. Jafar Panahi, an international director, was a leader in art films.

Based on Italian neorealism and the documentary style common in the films of his mentor, Iranian film master Abbas Kiarostami, he regarded the film itself as part of the theme of each film, with a self-reflective and modernist perspective - this can also be traced back to Kiarostami to a certain extent, and often gives people the impression that the film is happening in real time.

In fact, Hao Yun has been spending these days at the Berlin Film Festival with these filmmakers.

It is even inevitable that he neglected An Xiaoxi who came with him.

An Xiaoxi was so bored that she even invited a local lady to learn to play the piano in the hotel. By the time the closing ceremony of the 56th Berlin Film Festival began on February 18, local time in Berlin (Beijing time on February 19), her piano skills were already very good.

The weather was slightly better that day, but German stars were still the main actors.

This time, An Xiaoxi wore a high-end dress - it was lent to you, and you couldn't keep it in your closet.

This dress is a black long dress.

The wide shoulder strap design plus the black transparent tulle reveals a little sexiness, and the waist design makes the waist look particularly slender.

This time, the shape is like a noble black swan, which is in sharp contrast to the handsome look at the opening ceremony.

"Let's walk faster, your hands are a little cold." Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi's hand and stepped onto the red carpet.

With him were Feng Yuanzheng, Zhang Yifan, and Zhao Fei.

Others wanted to stay on the red carpet for ten minutes, but Hao Yun walked to the interview area in two or three minutes.

In his opinion, there is no need to linger on the red carpet.

As long as you are beautiful enough, even if it is just a glimpse, you can attract the attention of the whole world.

Otherwise, at most, it will give domestic and foreign media some material to complain about.

However, the media will not let Hao Yun and others go so easily, especially the media from China.

This time, two Chinese-language films, both of which are mainland films, were shortlisted.

The Berlin Film Festival is too good for Chinese films.

Domestic media almost flocked to it, just to see how many awards Chinese films can win today.

Some people even listed "Whiplash" and "The Promise" as the favorites for the Golden Bear Award. The rise of Chinese films in the international arena began this year.

In fact, the Berlin Film Festival was the last one to extend an olive branch to Chinese films, but it is the best stage for Chinese films to go global.

In the 1980s, Chinese films and the Berlin Film Festival began a "win-win" honeymoon period.

And it was the "fifth generation" directors of China who caught up with this wave of "honeymoon".

The works of famous directors such as Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wu Ziniu, and Huang Jianxin have all been nominated or honored at the Berlin Film Festival.

Together with Chen Kaige, who was the first judge of the Berlin Film Festival in 1989, they almost constituted the entire international image of Chinese films in those years.

Another honeymoon period is not impossible.

Of course, some people think this is a pipe dream.

Some more pessimistic people think that both films may not win any prizes because they do not conform to the values ​​of European and American people.

They do not have the popular elements to win awards.

Hao Yun had to stop and answer some questions from the media, briefly and quickly, just to make An Xiaoxi feel less cold.

If not, why don’t you come to my arms and hold you for the interview.

There are also a small number of fans who came all the way from China, which made Hao Yun a little moved.

"Sina Entertainment is broadcasting live, please say a few words to the domestic audience and fans." The reporter of Sina Entertainment handed the microphone to Hao Yun.

"Hello, domestic audience friends, no matter whether I can win an award tonight, please don't mock me."

Hao Yun said humorously.

It can be imagined that the host on the other end must have praised Hao Yun a lot.

If you can't win an award, it's a great thing to be nominated.

Many directors who can serve as judges of the three major film festivals have only been nominated.

"An Xiaoxi, you are really beautiful today. I guess tomorrow's entertainment news will be all over the screen." The reporter praised An Xiaoxi again.

"Thank you, sister, you are also very beautiful." An Xiaoxi responded politely.

When female stars in the entertainment industry are scheming against each other, they will call each other sister to show that they are young and beautiful.

But An Xiaoxi will not say that.

Because she is only 18 years old, and the reporter sister is obviously in her 40s.

Calling sister is very friendly, and calling aunt is offensive.

After entering the scene, Hao Yun chatted with people for a while and then started to take a seat.

The venue of the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony is not particularly large. It is full of filmmakers from all over the world.

Well, mostly from Germany.

There is a table on the stage in front, with the Golden Bear and the Silver Bear on it.

The host came on stage and first introduced the situation of this year's film festival, talked about the hard work of the judges, thanked the sponsors, and then invited the German Minister of Culture and the Mayor of Berlin to come on stage to speak for a while.

After the official start, several awards for international short films were first presented.

Then the main course came.

Film Festival Master Dieter Koslik first came on stage and introduced the situation of the films shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Then the award ceremony officially began.

The Best Debut Award, Pernille Fischer's "Soap" won the award. The first female director in the main course was awarded. It can only be said that the three female judges plus the correctness played a huge role.

Then the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement was presented.

The award was presented by Bo Widberg, a Swedish director who won the Special Jury Award at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival for "The Classroom Love".

The reason why Hao Yun knew him was because everyone talked about it together.

And he had also seen "The Classroom Love", which is a very coquettish movie.

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement is... Hao Yun from Whiplash! Congratulations, my friend!"

There was warm applause at the scene.

Hao Yun was a little confused. If it weren't for his diverse thinking, it might take him more than ten seconds to react.

This tastes wrong!

Dieter Koslik, the festival's chairman, once hinted that he would definitely win the award, and he knew that he would not come in vain.

He imagined several awards, including the Silver Bear Award for the Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director, the Silver Bear Award for Best Film Music, and so on.

The most likely one is the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor.

No matter how arrogant the female judges are, they will not give this award to a woman.

The best result is the Silver Bear Award for the Grand Jury Prize, and Uncle Jiang's peak achievement is also this second-ranked official award.

There is also a certain probability that it is the Silver Bear Award for Best Film Music.

The Silver Bear Award for Best Director is extremely unlikely.

I have never considered the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement.

This award is sometimes called the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.

It is a comprehensive award, or a technical award, which includes photography, editing, music, costume design, etc.

It is generally awarded to skilled old directors.

From the perspective of gold content, it is similar to the Silver Bear Award for Best Film Music, and both are at the bottom of the Silver Bear Awards.

But it is also a Silver Bear Award after all, no worse than the Best Screenplay Award given to him by Cannes, and it can be used to brag.

It's just that Hao Yun himself felt that he was perfunctory.

But he didn't look depressed at all, happily hugged the people around him, and kissed them hard, and "excitedly" went on stage to receive the award.

It seems that for him, being able to win the award is a happy thing.

"Some people say that I was born for movies. I feel ashamed, but I can't suppress my inner joy. I love movies and am willing to bind my destiny to movies. And I never thought that I could get the recognition of top film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin at this age in my plan for myself..."

Hao Yun first talked a lot, and then began to thank the people he should thank.

"First of all, I want to thank my teacher, Director Jiang Wen... Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. Some people may think that I am using this movie to allude to the relationship between me and my teacher, which is not the case. We get along like friends. And my acting teacher, Mr. Wang Jinsong..."

"Then I also want to thank Feng Yuanzheng, he is an excellent actor, his performance is very contagious, and he took a lot of pressure to star in "Whiplash"..."

Generally speaking, it is very difficult for a movie to win two awards - but not impossible.

So, since Hao Yun won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement, Feng Yuanzheng has almost no hope of winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor.

Hao Yun's mood is very complicated. Fortunately, this award is for himself, and he can open the treasure chest.

I feel sorry for Feng Yuanzheng again.

You fucking pervert acted in vain.
