You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 281 Chinese-language films are a big success, Director Wang deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple! (2, monthly ticket 6600)

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, because the Berlin International Film Festival, which already received a lot of attention when Wang Quan was a judge, received even more attention comparable to Oscars and Cannes.

Several major portal websites have set up relevant special topics for reporting, and several articles have mentioned the important role of Wang Quan, a judge, in the award ownership.

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 99 was his last entry into the main competition section of the European International Film Festival.

Afterwards, "Together with You" couldn't even be shortlisted in Cannes, which favored him the most and nominated him five times. Then he started to make Hollywood movies, including the costume commercial blockbuster "The Promise", and even made documentaries.

This is the first time he has come to Berlin, and he did not expect to actually win the award. It seems that his strength is still there, hahahaha.

Of course, the judges must be responsible for this. The moment he learned that he was staying, he even felt that Wang Quan was much more pleasing to the eye, so he specially called Arthur's brother Chen Yuang.

"Please check if there is an Oscar finalist card in your mailbox. Please fill it out for me. Choose David King for the director and "Slumdog Millionaire" for the film. Then send it to the above address and bring it back to you. German sausages, bring a case."

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

Under the guidance of the host, the award presenters, that is, members of the jury came to the stage one by one, and presented the awards neatly, following the order from weak to strong.

First, Swedish novelist Henning Mankell presented the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award. This award was established in 87 in memory of Alfred Bauer, the first chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival. Designed to reward innovation in film.

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

Then Wang Quan came to the stage to present the best film debut award, Xing Aina touched Ning Hao, "Could it be you?"

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

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

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 came Burkina Faso director Gaston Karber who presented the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. Fang's name.

This award usually rewards the photography, art, editing, lighting and other professional departments in the film, and the reason why "Mei Lanfang" won the award is the excellent art.

This is actually Zhang Shuping’s award!

But Zhang Shuping didn't come, so Chen Kaige decided to bet that he still had a prize in the future, so he asked Chen Hong to go up to receive the prize.

Then German beauty star Diane Kruger took the stage to present the actor award.

First of all, the best actress, Zhang Ziyi was on the scene, she felt that it was possible for her to be crowned queen, although the role was small, it was amazing enough.

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

Unfortunately, they were not the ones who won the award, but Pocht Minimeyer 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 unsustainable acting skills in China, especially Zhang Guorong Jewels come first.

Sure enough, it wasn't 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 crew of "No Man's Land" was, Xu Zheng was ecstatic at first, then Huang Bo was taken aback. Is Xu Zheng's name so long?Does it have my name on the back?

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 also plays supporting roles, including "No Man's Land", which is also a supporting role, and it is a role that is almost dead for most of the time. Although there is a trace of fantasy, it is just a fantasy. I didn't expect the fantasy to 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 was hooked by Huang Bo onto the stage.

The German of the two of them can only say "Good evening everyone", Xu Zheng is a little bit stronger, and he speaks English testimonials very slickly, and finally adds a Chinese sentence, Huang Bo can't do it, so he can only express his testimonials in Mandarin with a Kiyoshima accent. But it's smoother.

Wang Quan in the audience was very pleased to see them. At that time, he thought that 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 wins the Best Actor in Berlin as a supporting actor, Wang Quan worried that this incident would ruin the friendship between the two, so he proposed that the two should 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 go wholesale like Wong Kar-Wai.

Let’s talk about Berlin. In 01, “Open Your Heart to the Blue Sky” won two actresses, and in 03, “The Hours” won three actresses, including Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep. And Julianne Moore three Hollywood superstars.

There is also the 04 year when Charlize Theron won the Best Actress Award, the heroine of the two films won the double yolk egg, and the group judged the award. This kind of thing is inevitable.

In the end, Wang Quan gnawed down the two film kings, and Xu Zheng and Huang Bo hugged each other with the silver bear trophy in the end to cheer each other on.

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

So far, Chinese-speaking filmmakers have conquered all the best actors and actresses at the three major European film festivals!
Many people realized that Huang Bo was going to be popular, and Xu Zheng was going to be even more popular.

If Xu Zheng is allowed to take this actor first, Yang Mi in "Crazy Supermarket" will really have to weigh up if she wants to overwhelm Xu Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Quan came to the stage to present the awards, this time it was the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay.

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

Wang Quan used Chinese first, and then English. Ning Hao said "Damn" 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", and Shu Ping was the main writer, but he didn't come, and Ning Hao and Xing Aina who were on the scene are also screenwriters of this film.

Ning Hao knew that his film had no chance of winning three awards, and this was the last time "No Man's Land" was on stage, so he had the cheek to drag his wife to the stage to accept the awards.

First bowed slightly to Wang Quan to thank him, then took the trophy and put it in the hands of his daughter-in-law to start the 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, guarantees the integrity of the work's ideas. It will be screened smoothly and with honor in one day.

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

Director Wang, it's all in my heart!

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

Then there are only the jury award and the best picture left. Chen Kaige is sitting on his chest, and Ning Hao has two awards. Will he win the gold again after 16 years?
Spanish director Isabel Cosette and jury chairman Tilda Swinton successively took the stage to reveal the final suspense.

There are also two jury awards, namely the American film "The Messenger" and the British and French film "London River".

In the end, the Golden Bear Award was awarded to the Spanish/Peruvian film "The Sad Noisui".

The expression on Chen Kaige's face couldn't hold back anymore, but the key point is that there will be a group photo with the award-winning crew later, and he still has to keep smiling.

Since you can't give me the grand prize, the second grand prize and the third grand prize, why don't you keep me, just give such a prize, and reward the artist, isn't it embarrassing 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 on the side, "It's already been sent. I sent it for my brother. I want German sausages too!"

Chen Kaige's anger, if it wasn't for his own birth, he would really want to swear.

Wang Quan didn't know Director Kai Ge's thoughts, but he really tried his best. As long as the second half of this film can reach the level of the first half, Jin Xiong himself can help him fight for it.

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

In terms of EQ, she is higher than Director Chen.

Wang Quan looked at the back of Chen Hong leaving, feeling a pity for a while, the former number one beauty in the mainland, why is she so old, she is only three years older than my sister Feihong, but she looks like she is ten years behind, yes She doesn't have the nourishment of love?Or do the trivialities of the family make people vicissitudes?

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 event would not have happened to them without the kingship, so they wanted to invite the kingship when they held a celebration banquet in Berlin.

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

He said to Xu Zheng who called him, "Let's eat again when we have a chance when we return 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 modestly.

When he hung up the phone, Huang Bo said from the side, "I really want to find a temple to confess to Wang Dao. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. The first time I came to Europe, I took the Best Actor. Who can I find to reason with?"

This guy Huang Bo never leaves his silver bear trophy, he has a wine glass in one hand and a trophy in the other. Ning Hao is envious of him, why does everyone have a trophy for actor, but only one trophy for screenwriter.

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 this one will depend on whether it is given to Shuping or China Film Group.

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

He was originally a writer. When he first became a screenwriter, he 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 express his congratulations, and to remind him of the manuscript, "How did you change our film?"

"That's good. I haven't been out these days. I'll visit you on weekends."

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

Jiang Wen is still brooding about the failure of "When the Sun Also Rises". The most uncomfortable thing is not the box office loss, but the jury chairman Zhang Yimou awarded the best film to "Lust, Caution" at the Venice Film Festival. , you go and play with the surnamed Li, and I will never be number one in the world with you again!

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

However, Wang Quan can only say one thing when facing "When the Sun Also Rises": I don't understand, but I was shocked~
After finishing his work in Berlin, the royal power returned home.

But he flew directly to the magic city, so he didn't ride with the two crews, and avoided the embarrassment of getting rainbow farts.

But there are many rainbow farts in the domestic media. Obviously the winners are "No Man's Land" and "Mei Lanfang", but Wang Quan has received the most recognition and praise, followed by Xu Zheng and Huang Bo. , Actors must pay more attention than screenwriters and artists.

The two film stars said that there will be no extra money for starring in Ning Hao's new film "Crazy Racing", and it will still be the original price. The authentic sequel of this crazy series has already been booked for the Lunar New Year in December.

After more than ten hours of journey in the sky, King Quan landed in the magic city, checked into the hotel arranged by "The Founding of a Nation", and slept first.

But Sister Feihong is too annoying, she was waiting for him in the room early, she just didn't want me to sleep well!
He came to play a guest role. Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin wanted him to play Kong Lingkan, but Wang Quan refused. The role was too heavy, and it lasted nearly 3 minutes.

It was finally decided that Wang Quan would act as a bodyguard next to Song Meiling, escorting her to the United States for help. There was a scene of boarding a plane, which lasted only a few seconds. It could be felt that it was forcibly added for Wang Quan.

While sleeping with Yu Feihong, Wang Quan suggested, "Why don't we buy a suite in Shanghai, it's closer to Hangzhou, and it will be more convenient in the future~"
