You don't understand the happiness of the director

The domestic media were all waiting, and soon they received the news that both "Mei Lanfang" and "No Man's Land" would stay to attend the awards ceremony.

The news spread back to China, and because Wang Quan was a judge, the Berlin International Film Festival, which already attracted a lot of attention, received attention comparable to Oscars and Cannes.

Several major portal websites have all opened relevant special topics for reporting, and several articles have mentioned the important role of Wang Quan as a judge in the awarding of awards.

Overseas reporters also photographed Chen Kaige and Chen Hong enjoying a candlelight dinner, but there was no Arthur kneeling next to them. Arthur was in the United States.

Director Chen must be in a good mood. In fact, since "Farewell My Concubine", he has not won any awards at the three major European film festivals. "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" in 1999 was his last entry into the main competition section of the European International Film Festival.

After that, even Cannes, which favored him the most and nominated him five times, was not shortlisted for "With You." Then he started making Hollywood movies, including the period commercial blockbuster "The Promise" and also made documentaries.

This was his first time in Berlin, and he didn’t expect to actually win the award. It seems that his strength is still there, hahahaha.

Of course, the judges must have contributed to this. The moment he learned that he was being retained, he even felt that Wang Quan was more pleasing to the eye, and even made a special call to Arthur's brother Chen Yuang.

"Look for the Oscar final selection card in your mailbox. Please fill it out for me. Choose King David for the director and "Slumdog Millionaire" for the film. Then send it to the address above and bring it back to you. German sausages, bring a box.”

On the evening of the 15th, the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially began in the presence of hundreds of media and filmmakers.

Under the guidance of the host, award presenters, that is, members of the jury, came on stage one by one and awarded awards neatly and in order from weakest to strongest.

First, Swedish novelist Henning Mankell presented the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award. This award was established in 1987 in memory of Alfred Bauer, the first chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival. Designed to reward innovation in film.

This time I was given two movies at once, one "Secret Love" and one "Sweet Impulse".

Then Wang Quan came on stage and presented the award for the best debut film. Xing Aina touched Ning Hao and said, "Could it be you?"

Ning Hao, "Don't say virgin, I'm not even a virgin."

"That's not necessarily true. For the European film industry, "No Man's Land" is no different from a debut film."

However, the final winner was the Romanian/British film "Katalin Varga", which made Ning Hao very happy. The awards became more important as the films went on.

Then Burkina Faso director Gaston Caber presented the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. This time it was a Chinese film. Chen Kaige’s smiling face froze for a moment because he heard "Melan" "Fang" name.

This award usually rewards professional departments such as photography, art, editing, lighting, etc. in the film. The reason why "Mei Lanfang" won the award is the outstanding art.

This is actually Zhang Shuping’s award!

But Zhang Shuping didn't come, so Chen Kaige decided to bet that there would be a prize later, so he asked Chen Hong to go up and receive the prize.

Then German beauty star Diane Kruger took the stage to present the Actor Award.

The first is the Best Actress. Zhang Ziyi was present at the scene. She felt that it was not impossible for her to win the title. Although her role was small, it was stunning enough.

And Yu Nan has returned to China early. She has too few roles. She came to the opening ceremony just to support "No Man's Land", which she is unfamiliar with.

But unfortunately, it was not them who won the award, but Pochette Minimeier from the German film "The Perfect Second Couple".

After the acceptance speech, Diane Kruger continued to award the Best Actor. Although Li Ming was there, he was relatively calm. After all, he received a lot of comments about his acting skills in China, especially Leslie Cheung. Pearl and jade in front.

Sure enough, it was not him who won the award, but Xu Zheng!

Wait, it’s not just Xu Zheng, but also Huang Bo!

Diane read out two names. On the table where the "No Man's Land" crew was sitting, Xu Zheng was ecstatic at first, and then Huang Bo was startled. Is Xu Zheng's name so long? Is there my name on the back too?

Compared with Xu Zheng who has been famous for many years, Huang Bo has just gained a little fame in the film and television industry, and he has also played supporting roles, including "No Man's Land", which is also a supporting role, and he is also a character who is almost dead for most of the movie. Although there was a trace of fantasy, it was just a fantasy. I didn’t expect that the fantasy could come true!

Xu Zheng originally wanted to pretend to be calm, but his eyes were still red. He glanced gratefully in the direction of Wang Quan, and then Huang Bo took him up on the stage.

The two of them could only say "Good evening everyone" in German. Xu Zheng was stronger and spoke fluently in English. Finally, he added a sentence in Chinese. Huang Bo failed and could only express his speech in Mandarin with a Qingdao accent. But it's smoother.

Wang Quan in the audience was very pleased to see them. At that time, he thought it would be good to win the Best Actor for one person, but the other judges seemed to be more attracted to Huang Bo's role.

But if Huang Bo won the Berlin Best Actor for his supporting actor role, Wang Quan was worried that this incident would ruin the friendship between the two, so he proposed that they win the award together.

It's common for actors in the same movie to win awards together at international film festivals. Many two-male and two-female movies often do this, as long as they don't wholesale like Wong Kar-Wai.

Just take Berlin. In 2001, "Open My Heart" won two best actresses, and in 2003, "The Hours" won three best actresses, including Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep. and Julianne Moore, three Hollywood superstars.

Also in 2004, when Charlize Theron won the Best Actress award, the leading actresses in two films won double-yolked eggs, and the panel awards were judged. This kind of thing is inevitable.

In the end, Wang Quan bit off the two best actors, and Xu Zheng and Huang Bo hugged each other holding the Silver Bear trophy to encourage each other.

Domestically, relevant news was immediately released. This award is of great significance to Chinese-language films, because this is the first time that a Chinese-speaking filmmaker has won the Berlin Best Actor. Previously, there were only Cannes Best Actor (Ge You, Liang Chaowei) and Venice Best Actor (Xia Yu). ).

So far, Chinese-speaking filmmakers have conquered all the best actors and actresses at the three major European film festivals!

Many people have realized that Huang Bo is going to be popular, and Xu Zheng is going to be even more popular.

If Xu Zheng is allowed to win the Best Actor title first, Yang Mi will really have to think carefully if she wants to overtake Xu Zheng in "Crazy Supermarket".

Then Wang Quan came on stage to present an award, this time the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay.

Wang Quan didn't say any nonsense and directly announced, ""No Man's Land"."

Wang Quan first spoke Chinese, then English, and Ning Hao said "Fuck" on the spot!

Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, who had just received the Silver Bear, just leaned in their hearts several times. Their shock was not inferior to that of Ning Hao. Director Wang, why are you so awesome? You actually won more than one award!

There are many screenwriters for "No Man's Land". The main writer is Shu Ping, but he did not come. Ning Hao and Xing Aina who were on the scene are also screenwriters of the film.

Ning Hao knew that there was no chance of his movie winning three awards. This was the last time "No Man's Land" would be on stage, so he shamelessly dragged his wife to the stage to accept the award.

First, he bowed slightly to thank the king, then took the trophy, put it in the hands of his wife, and began to give his acceptance speech.

Maybe he himself doesn't know how lucky he is to meet Wang Quan. "No Man's Land", which was stimulated by Wang Quan and came out in advance, ensures the integrity of the work's ideas. It will be released smoothly and with honor.

But even if he didn't know this, he was still full of gratitude for the royal power in his heart, but he couldn't express too much in his speech, so as not to be seen that they had been friends for a long time and admired each other.

Director Wang, I have it all in my heart!

There is no suspense about the next best director, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's "About Ellie".

Next, only the Jury Prize and Best Picture are left. Chen Kaige is sitting at attention, and Ning Hao has two awards. Will he win the gold again after sixteen years?

Spanish director Isabel Cosette and jury president Tilda Swinton took the stage to reveal the final suspense.

There are also two Jury Prizes, namely the American film "The Courier" and the British and French film "London River".

In the end, the Golden Bear award went to the Spanish/Peruvian film "Sad Nomizu".

The expression on Chen Kaige's face was a bit unbearable, but the key was that he would have to take a group photo with the award-winning crew later, so he had to keep smiling.

Since you can't give me the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize and the Grand Prize three, why don't you keep me here? Just give me such a prize, and it's still for the artist. Aren't you looking down on me?

After taking the photos, he immediately called his eldest son in New York and asked, "The ballots haven't been mailed out yet, have they?"

Arthur said from the side, "It has been sent out. I sent it for my brother. I also want German sausage!"

Chen Kaige was so angry. If it weren't for the fact that he was his own son, he would have wanted to say bad things.

Wang Quan didn't know what Director Kai Ge was thinking, but he really tried his best. If the second half of this film can be as good as the first half, Jin Xiong himself can help him fight for it.

He didn't know what Chen Kaige was thinking, but after Chen Hong took the photo, he made a special trip to chat with Wang Quan and express his gratitude. After all, he had won the award, and Wang Quan was getting more and more powerful now, and he might be useful in the future. .

In terms of emotional intelligence, she is higher than Director Chen.

Wang Quan looked at Chen Hong's leaving figure and felt a pity. How could the once most beautiful woman in the Mainland have become so old? She was only three years older than me, Sister Fei Hong, but she looked like she was ten years older. She doesn't have the nourishment of love? Or is it the trivialities of the family that cause people to experience vicissitudes of life?

On the other hand, although "No Man's Land" was not the biggest winner, the two awards affected two actors and six screenwriters, which is equivalent to eight people winning the award. This is a great thing. Although it is a silver award, it is equivalent to giving All eight people were plated with gold.

And everyone knows that this great good thing cannot happen to them without Wang Quan, so they thought of inviting Wang Quan when they held a celebration banquet in Berlin.

But Wang Quan still refused. He had to have dinner with the jury members and the Berlin Film Festival organizing committee tonight, so he couldn’t refuse.

He said to Xu Zheng who called him, "Let's eat it again when we have a chance to go back to China. Congratulations to Best Actor Xu again."

"Oh, don't call me that, Director Wang is taking care of me, hahaha." Xu Zheng said very modestly.

When he hung up the phone, Huang Bo said from the side, "I really want to find a temple to offer sacrifices to Director Wang. I never expected that I won the Best Actor title the first time I came to Europe. Who can I ask to explain to you!"

This guy Huang Bo never leaves his hands with the Silver Bear trophy. He has a wine glass in one hand and a trophy in the other. Ning Hao looks so envious. Why does everyone have one Best Actor trophy and only one Screenwriter trophy?

Xing Aina said, "Because it's called the Best Screenplay Award. It's for this script, not the screenwriter."

So there is only one, and it will still depend on whether this one will be given to Shuping or China Film.

Shu Ping, a well-known screenwriter in China, still learned the news about his award from Jiang Wen.

He was originally a writer. When he became a screenwriter, he first collaborated with Zhang Yimou on "Speak Well", so he met Jiang Wen, and then successively collaborated on "The Devil Is Coming" and "When the Sun Also Rises".

Jiang Wen called to say congratulations and to urge the manuscript, "How are you doing with your revision of our film?"

"That's good. I haven't been out for the past few days. I'll go find you on the weekend."

"Okay, I've already taken care of Uncle Ge. We can shoot this year. This time we stand and make money!"

Jiang Wen is still bitter about the failure of "When the Sun Also Rises". The most uncomfortable thing is not the box office failure, but the fact that at the Venice Film Festival, the jury chairman Zhang Yimou gave the best picture to "Lust, Caution", hum. , you go play with the man surnamed Li, I will never be the best in the world again!

If the judge he met at that time was Wang Quan, he wouldn't have left empty-handed.

However, Wang Quan could only say one thing when faced with "When the Sun Also Rises": I can't understand it, but I was shocked~

After finishing his work in Berlin, Wang Quan returned to China.

However, he flew directly to Shanghai, so he didn't share the same flight with the two crews, which also avoided the embarrassment of getting a rainbow fart.

But the domestic media is full of rainbow farts. Obviously the winners are "No Man's Land" and "Mei Lanfang", but Wang Quan has received the most recognition and praise, followed by the two new movie stars Xu Zheng and Huang Bo. , actors definitely receive more attention than screenwriters and artists.

The two movie stars said that there will be no extra money to star in Ning Hao's new film "Crazy Racing", and it will still be the original price. This authentic sequel to the crazy series has been booked for the Lunar New Year holiday in December, and they are advertising by the way.

After more than ten hours of journey in the sky, Wang Quan landed in the magical capital, checked into the hotel arranged by "The Founding of the Nation", and got some sleep first.

But Sister Feihong is so annoying. She waited for him in the room early because she just didn’t want me to sleep well!

He came here as a guest star. Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin wanted him to play Kong Lingkan, but Wang Quan refused. The role was too heavy, lasting nearly three minutes. He couldn't last that long under the camera, and Tong Dawei played the role very well.

It was finally decided that Wang Quan would play one of Song Meiling's bodyguards, escorting her to the United States to seek help. There was a scene of boarding a plane, which lasted only a few seconds, and you could tell that it was a forced scene for Wang Quan.

When sleeping with Yu Feihong, Wang Quan suggested, "How about we buy an apartment in Shanghai? It's close to Hangzhou and it will be more convenient in the future~"
