Entertainment tycoon since 83

More than a day passed in a flash, and soon it was the evening of the next day.

Huang Ze put on a handsome suit and walked on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival with his crew members.

As soon as he got off the car, Huang Ze's mind paused and he subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment.

I have to say, no wonder it could only rank third at the Berlin Film Festival, and it was almost out of touch with the top two for a long time.

Anyway, looking at this scene, let alone Cannes, even the Golden Lion is slightly inferior.

Of course, it was probably because I had always been the third child and did not have enough funds.

This is a vicious cycle.

"So in his previous life, he was the first to open up to Chinese-language filmmakers, in order to turn things around and no longer be the last in line."

"Unfortunately, it will be difficult to turn things around in the future."

After all, most of the market belongs to Hollywood!
Apart from Cannes, the other two are designed like the Hollywood Outpost Awards.

With a sigh in his heart, Huang Ze stopped thinking about these things, collected his thoughts, and began to walk the red carpet in a programmed manner. He spent most of the time walking, and occasionally posing for the reporters.

I was too lazy to answer the reporters' questions and just kept smiling.

Huang Ze has participated in so many film festivals that he has long been immune to this kind of scene.

However, when he actually walked into the Berlin Film Palace, Huang Ze was still nervous, much more nervous than the last time he took "Farewell My Concubine" to Cannes.

My desire for the golden bear instantly increased after I entered the building, and it was not until I sat down in my seat that my mood calmed down a little.

"It seems like you're a little worried, Brother Huang!" Wang Zhiwen noticed Huang Ze's abnormality, "I thought you were sitting on the Diaoyutai all the time."

"It's different. I know I will definitely win the prize, but whether I can get that is not something I can guess."

"Don't worry, I have confidence in you, Brother Huang." Wang Zhiwen said.

"What's the point of you having confidence in me?" Huang Ze rolled his eyes at him, "Wait until you have the opportunity to become a judge at the Berlin Film Festival before you say that."

"Director Huang, I have confidence in you too." Zhang Manyu on the right said with a smile.

"you……"

This is indeed enough to qualify as a judge.

"Hey, stop talking, let me be quiet, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!" Huang Ze's mind was empty and his eyes were on the podium.

After waiting for a while, everyone was seated and the host came on stage and began the same opening remarks as in other film festivals, to warm up the audience and set the mood. After the atmosphere was set to a certain level, the main course began and some people who were still chatting also turned their attention to the stage.

The award ceremony officially begins.

At the beginning, there were still some small awards, such as the Teddy Bear Award, which was specifically for films that reflected gay and lesbian themes.

Soon, it was time for the Silver Bear Award.

The first Outstanding Achievement Award was given to his old classmate Li Shaohong.

The Best Actress award was given to Xiao Fangfang without any mistake.

She also became the second Chinese to win the Berlin Film Festival Award.

"Wow, I knew it was her!" The first Chinese to win the Berlin Film Festival muttered happily and clapped with a smile on her face.

"The acting is indeed outstanding! You are worthy of being a veteran actor for decades." Huang Ze nodded in agreement, and then turned to look at Zhang Manyu, "You are actually happy for your competitor?"

"She really acted well." Zhang Manyu raised his chin in the direction of Xiao Fangfang. "Besides, I'm not in a hurry. It's only been a few years since I won the Best Actress award. It's still warm in my hands."

"Then don't you want to win another one, to be more popular?" "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Zhang Manyu felt a little guilty after saying this. She certainly knew how difficult it was to win a Best Actress award in a place like the Big Three. After moving her mouth, Zhang Manyu threw the question to Huang Ze, "Will Director Huang help me win another one?"

"The Best Actor award ceremony is about to begin! Pay attention." Of course, he couldn't agree to this kind of thing casually, so Huang Ze ended the topic directly. Huang Ze placed his left hand on Wang Zhiwen's knee to help him suppress his trembling.

"Be more alert."

"Don't lose face!"

"it is good……"

Just as I said a word, the Best Actor award was announced and it was given to Paul Newman for "The Untold Story".

"Okay!" Huang Ze had to take back the other two words after saying one, and then rounded up his words, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

“I can always do better in the future!”

"Hmm!" Wang Zhiwen swallowed hard, feeling a little bitter.

He thought he had a chance to win the Best Actor award this time.

But who knows, it still failed.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in being sad. Wang Zhiwen immediately thought of another relatively good thing and forced a smile, saying, "We have won awards before. If I win the Best Actor award, it will affect the chances of our "Life is Beautiful" winning the Golden Bear. This result is also a good thing for us as a whole!"

"This is the only thing I can think of now." Huang Ze patted Wang Zhiwen's knee, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Today's experience may determine whether I can win the Grand Slam.

Huang Ze, don't lose face!
The awards ceremony continues.

The Best Director award went to Richard Linklater for Before Sunrise.

"There are still two awards left!" Huang Ze was not awarded the Best Director award. He became more and more nervous and rubbed his hands together.

Don’t ever win the Jury Prize!
Don’t ever win the Jury Prize!
"The winners of the 45th Berlin International Film Festival Jury Prize are: Smoke..."

It’s Wang Ying’s “Smoke”!
The corners of Huang Ze's mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

However, in a surprising twist, the damn award presenter said "and" again.

Such a conjunction, in Huang Ze's ears, is no different from a transitional word.

After all, this and from the other party is the difference between the Jury Prize and the Golden Bear Award for "Life is Beautiful"!
Jesus! Queen Mother!
Not "Life is Beautiful", not!
Huang Ze quickly prayed in his heart.

The guest also knew how important the next sentence was, and took a full five seconds to reveal the answer, "Congratulations to 'Easy to Catch'."

A French film about teenage robbery and murder got the other egg in the double yolk.

This time, there is no next and, which means that the Golden Bear Award is already half-hidden.

Everyone who realized this turned their attention to the crew of "Life is Beautiful".

However, everyone in the crew kept a serious face and stared at the stage.

Before everything is revealed, you can't be too happy, lest you end up suffering from excessive joy.

It doesn't matter if these few minutes are enough.

Under the gaze of the vast majority of people in the cinema, the guests slowly revealed the final winner of the night.

"The winner of the 45th Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear Award is..."

"Congratulations to "Life is Beautiful", congratulations to Huang!" (End of this chapter)
