Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 544 Three Golds! Three Golds! (6K for monthly ticket)
On the 17th.

The weather outside is a little better, at least it's not snowing, but the temperature is still low.

Sister Mei was definitely not willing to walk the red carpet with him this time.

“I don’t have the need to be famous on a mass level.”

Besides, it’s so cold today, it’s really painful.

Chen Linfeng didn't want to urge her any further, luckily Xixi was following her.

By then, he, Sissi, and Leonardo will be together.

Sissi had just gone back to film for a few days, and happened to catch the weekend on the 16th and 17th, so she flew to Berlin again.

In her words, "I was there when Xiaofeng won the award the last two times. What if I'm not there this time, he won't win the award."

Chen Linfeng gave her a big thumbs up.

The thinking is clear and well-founded.

The red carpet of the closing ceremony was a little deserted, as many of the crews that participated in the screening at the opening ceremony had already returned home.

Therefore, many of the guests present were invited celebrities from Europe and even Germany.

The appearance of Chen Linfeng, Liu Qianqian and Leonardo became the biggest focus of attention.

A young and handsome man at the peak of his creative career, he is the director of some of the hottest works at this year's film festival.

One is, um, Chen’s wife, who is known as the most beautiful woman in China.

Dressed in pure white Hanfu, she looks ethereal and makes one feel at a glance what it feels like to be a "fairy" from the East.

As Liu Xixi's fame grew, her appearance seemed to have also been upgraded, and she was increasingly praised by the media.

Finally, there is “Jack” who has been handsome for more than ten years and is now a middle-aged handsome man.

Moreover, his performance in the role of the Joker this time really conquered many movie fans and filmmakers.

The moment the three of them appeared on the red carpet, the whole audience was instantly boiling and cheers resounded throughout the venue.

"Oh, Leonardo!"

"Chen, look here!"

"CC, I love you!"

"..."

The three of them walked side by side.

When he first appeared, Chen Linfeng stood in the middle, with his arm around Sissi on one side and his arm around Leonardo's shoulder on the other.

There is no need to say much about the couple Chen and Liu.

According to media reports, Chen Linfeng and Leonardo are good friends who hit it off right away, and now they are both teachers and friends.

The three of them waved around from time to time. They didn't seem nervous and maintained a normal pace.

Less stay.

This is the habit of these people, and they don't pay much attention to the process of taking photos on the red carpet.

But this also makes their red carpet photos more precious.

This short distance, which only takes two or three minutes, is considered by many reporters as the focus of today.

The reporter of German magazine Der Spiegel was thinking of the report words in his mind: "Relaxed and comfortable, with superstar style."

Variety described the trio's red carpet moments as "a perfect balance of Western Titanic-style romanticism and Eastern aesthetics."

It’s just a pity that Leonardo is not at the peak of his appearance.

Chen Linfeng felt that his smile was a little stiff.

But to outsiders, he seems to be full of confidence.

The only big hit at this year's Berlin Film Festival is "Joker".

The reputation is too great.

No other movie can come close to it.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung even commented that "the suspense about the 2013 Golden Bear Award has long since disappeared."

Many media outlets refuted this, thinking it was too much.

The Hollywood Reporter published a comment, saying that this was flattery purely intended to influence the judges' judgment.

There were many reports like these two at this film festival.

Everyone knows that "Joker" is the biggest enemy, and many participating films have a tendency to stick together.

In fact, the biggest suspense this year lies in whether the organizing committee and the jury are willing to let this hot favorite come to fruition.

Opponents also attack based on this point.

While walking on the red carpet, Chen Linfeng discovered that there were many Chinese fans around him.

They were shouting "Come on" and "Win the prize" in Chinese.

"Is this from the country?" Chen Linfeng couldn't help but think.

But he quickly rejected the idea in his mind.

"They should be international students and overseas Chinese in Germany."

However, after entering the interview area, the reporter from Princess Six pointed out that these were domestic movie fans.

"There are many fans at the scene who came all the way from China just to witness you win the Golden Bear Award and the triple gold grand slam. Do you have anything to say to them?"

Chen Linfeng felt a little touched.

"I am very grateful to them, but isn't it a bit unnecessary to mobilize such a large force?"

The reporter shook his head. “In fact, it’s not just the fans. Many media also came from China to share in the final moment of joy.”

Chen Linfeng hesitated to speak. Isn't he afraid that he might not win the Golden Bear?
This is a bit of a big deal.

Of course, he knew that if he really didn't get it, there would definitely not be those people celebrating in advance in the reports.

But it's never nice to disappoint people.

Chen Linfeng could only say, "Thank you for your support."

Then he couldn't help but add, "The specific results are still uncertain, so don't hold out too much hope. It would be so embarrassing if you really don't win the prize."

"Haha, we have confidence in Director Chen."

"..."

Foreign reporters also had business requirements, so they came over to interview him without waiting for him to chat more with domestic reporters.

A reporter from El País asked, "How about Chen, are you confident that you can win the Golden Bear?"

He had answered this question many times, so it came naturally, "I would like to be confident, but in the end it all depends on the judges' vote."

"If you win the Golden Bear, it means that you will not only become the youngest director to win the three major awards, but also the youngest director to win the Golden Bear, Golden Lion and Palme d'Or. What do you think of this?"

"It can only be said that I started early and I was lucky."

Western reporters were somewhat unwilling to accept this. Are they really going to hold back when it’s so slippery?

"Who do you think is your biggest competitor this time?"

This is about to start causing trouble.

"I think there are many, such as "A Page of Life", "Infant Style", "Avalanche Prince"..."

Chen Linfeng named several movies in the main competition unit like he was reading out a menu.

He said very seriously, "These are all works that I feel are very powerful."

Domestic reporters were watching the fun.

Haha, you still want to make big news.

Everyone knows Director Chen. He is so cautious that he seems to have the buff of a middle-aged man. Don't even think about asking him any inappropriate questions.

There were also interviews with Liu Xixi, asking her about "The Walking Dead".

But this is off topic, so there is no need to mention it further.

Chen Linfeng felt that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and said, "We have to go in."

Then he took Sissi and called Leonardo, and walked into the main stadium together.

Xixi's hands were quite warm and soft to the touch.

It seems that wearing Hanfu is much warmer than formal wear in the winter.

Feeling the strength of Chen Linfeng's hand, Liu Qianqian moved mischievously and tickled his palm.

Chen Linfeng was in a somewhat tense mood and didn't pay much attention to it.

The award ceremony venue was already full of people, all filmmakers from all over the world.

As soon as he came in, he saw the Golden Bear Award trophy placed in the middle from afar.

It was a little golden bear raising its hand to signal people. It looked dazzling and very pleasing.

Especially at this moment, in Chen Linfeng's eyes.

It seems to be emitting an alluring glow.

"Chen, the location is over there."

Leonardo pointed in the direction near the front row, where Sister Mei was waving.

Cao Yu, Liu Qingshan and others were also present.

They were all a little excited.

As a behind-the-scenes staff member who has won the Golden Lion and Palme d'Or with Chen Linfeng, it would be great if he could win the Golden Bear as well this time.

For them, it is also a kind of perfection.

"Director, is there much hope this time?"

"There should be some fun. I heard that some places have opened gambling venues."

"Director Chen, please tell me about it."

There is no need to hide it from your own people.

Chen Linfeng nodded and said, "It is still possible. At least the obstacles from the organizing committee will be much smaller than expected."

He was still cautious and didn't say too much.

But Cao Yu, Chen Xinzhi and Chen Qianjin all relaxed.

After working together for so many years, everyone knows Director Chen’s personality.

I never give you full marks. I might tell you 10 or 5 out of 6.

Liu Qingshan shouted directly, "It's stable, it's stable."

Some people began to applaud and celebrate.

Leonardo asked curiously, and Sissi gave him a detailed explanation.

Then Leonardo joined in the celebration.

If you don’t know, you might think you’ve already won the award.

"These funny guys!"

Chen Linfeng was speechless.

In fact, he was a little weak.

Maybe it’s because the result this time is so important.

For others, if they don’t win the award this time, they will try again next time. If it happens too often, the film festival officials will feel embarrassed and will force them to give an award.

But for him, the opportunities are becoming fewer and fewer.

Who knows when the next time I make an art film will be.

Moreover, there are not so many suitable topics and books.

Don’t worry about coming back in a few years; this is the best opportunity.

Chen Linfeng has already gone all in.

Later, the host came on stage.

The routine opening remarks, followed by thanks to the organizing committee and suppliers and speeches by leaders completed the process.

The award ceremony officially begins.

I won’t talk about the small prizes, as that’s not the focus of everyone’s attention.

The Best Debut Award went to Rocket, a co-production between Australia and Laos.

It tells the story of a Laotian boy who travels with his family and friends across a war-torn area to participate in a rocket festival.

A typical political metaphor movie. Chen Linfeng had seen this movie when he was watching movies by new directors.

Subsequently, "Suspect Leila" and "Promised Land" received special nomination awards.

"Little Wei and Little Fu Saw a Bear" won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award.

This award is an award to encourage innovation.

Immediately afterwards, the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution was given to "Harmony Course".

This award is considered a technical award, and is usually given to works with outstanding photography or visuals.

Cao Yu and Liu Qingshan were a little disappointed, as they felt they had done a good job in "Joker".

Recently, many media have praised the shots, lighting and pictures in the film.

But thinking that the grand prize was the most important, they continued to be nervous, waiting for the presenter to read out the name of "Joker".

Next, the Best Actress award was won by Paulina Garcia for "Gloria".

This film is one of the few works in this film festival that does not involve politics.

Chen Linfeng clapped his hands and became nervous.

The crew was also a little nervous because the next award was Best Actor, the most likely award for Joker.

But if you get this, the final Golden Bear will be in jeopardy and the probability of winning will be greatly reduced.

Although Berlin is not like Cannes, a work can only win one award.

But the prizes are limited, so there is usually some idea of ​​dividing the pie.

however……

"The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actor is Leonardo Dicaprio from Joker!"

There was extremely warm applause at the scene.

Leonardo stood up in disbelief.

Of course he wanted this award, but he had already given it up.

Chen Linfeng felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still smiled and even laughed and hugged Leonardo to celebrate.

"Chen..."

"It's okay. Your performance deserves this award. Besides, it's not the end yet, is it?"

The apology on Leonardo's face faded a little, and he felt genuinely surprised.

He won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award once in his early years, and winning it again this time means a lot to him.

Apart from anything else, his chances of winning next year's Oscars will be even greater because of his Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award.

After taking the stage, Leonardo gave his acceptance speech with great emotion.

"The person I want to thank the most is Chen. Under his guidance, I showed a completely different state than before..."

"Without him, there would be no Arthur and the Joker in the film..."

Half of the three-minute speech was spent thanking the director.

Chen Linfeng truly felt his gratitude and breathed a sigh of relief in the audience.

If you really can't get it, you have to accept it.

Winning a Berlin Film Award is a great blessing for the director...

Big ass!
Chen Linfeng still felt a little depressed after thinking about it.

Liu Qianqian seemed to sense his emotions and held his hand to comfort him.

Chen Linfeng grabbed her little hand and kneaded it, and his mood improved a little.

Next, everyone still had some hope and did not give up completely.

At this point, everyone wants to hear the name "Joker" again, but they don't want to hear it too early.

Now that it has come to this and the reputation is so high, naturally everyone only wants the best.

Chen Linfeng recalled the results of this year's film festival in his mind and realized that in his previous life, it seemed that "A Page of Life" won the Best Actor and Jury Grand Prix.

He was stunned.

"Hmm? It seems like there's something interesting going on later."

"Buddha Tathagata, Yuanshi Tianzun, Guanyin Bodhisattva... I sincerely hope that the same result will not happen to me."

He began to temporarily seek help from Buddha/God/Bodhisattva/Emperor.

The subsequent best screenplay award went to "Baby Style".

This is considered a minor favorite this year.

Chen Linfeng was in high spirits, "Changes are coming!"

The Best Director award was won by "Prince Avalanche".

The Grand Jury Prize remained unchanged and was won by "A Page of My Life".

At this point, all the guests had a vague guess as to who would win the grand prize.

Because almost all the popular candidates have appeared.

In other words, the Golden Bear Award-winning work also won other awards.

Let’s exclude works that won the Grand Jury Prize, a similar award.

The remaining winner is almost certain to be announced.

On the "Joker" crew side, everyone's emotions began to rise again.

Since the awards were given out, I feel like my situation seems to be getting better again.

This up and down movement is a bit too exciting.

Chen Xinzhi and Chen Qianjin, the two less experienced ones, began to breathe rapidly, their legs bouncing constantly, and their urgency was noticed by the people around them.

At this time, Dieter Krick, president of the Berlin Film Festival, and Wang Jiawei came on stage together.

The final award presenters are these two.

This made the audience in the audience more certain of something.

Skrick slowly opened the envelope, took a look at the formalities, and then looked towards the Joker crew.

In the expectant eyes of the crowd, I said,

"The winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival is..."

"Joker!"

As if it was what everyone expected, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

Then, the whole audience stood up to welcome the new king to the throne.

Chen Linfeng couldn't hold back any longer, he stood up and hugged the people around him with laughter.

"Leo, look, what did I say? This is the end."

"Yes, congratulations, Chen, you got three gold medals."

Liu Qianqian jumped into his arms, "Xiaofeng, Grand Slam, you did it."

She almost cried for joy.

I blinked hard and held back the tears.

Liu Qianqian raised her head to show off her achievements, "Hey, I told you, as long as I'm with you, I'll get a prize."

"Yeah, it's all thanks to Xixi. I will definitely reward you well when I get back."

Chen Linfeng looked at the fair and tender little face in front of him and couldn't help but kiss her hard.

In this situation, only "The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" can describe his mood.

With young spirit, a lovely wife by his side and a name on the list of successful candidates, his heart is filled with endless joy.

"Director, half of the military medal also belongs to me." Cao Yu said with a smile.

"Go away, why are you dreaming so beautifully? Director Chen, congratulations on winning three gold medals."

Chen Linfeng hugged them one by one and said with a smile, "Yes, congratulations on winning three gold medals."

The celebration lasted a little longer, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Skrick on the stage walked down directly and led Chen Linfeng away.

The applause from the audience has not stopped until now.

When Chen Linfeng came on stage, Wang Jiawei took the trophy from the etiquette lady and presented it to Chen Linfeng.

"Thank you, Director Wang." Chen Linfeng said with hint of meaning.

Wang Jiawei smiled and shook his head, "Director San Jin, congratulations."

Afterwards, Chen Linfeng stood in front of the microphone, ready to give his acceptance speech.

The applause from the audience stopped at this time.

“I would like to thank the organizing committee and the judging panel for giving this award to a young person like me.”

He raised the golden bear in his hand, looked at it carefully, his face full of emotion.

"When I first came to the Berlin Film Festival, I was actually quite nervous. I was worried about what the organizing committee would think because of my age."

"There have been many speculations in recent news reports."

“But in the end, it was clear that the Berlin organizing committee and jury told us that they didn’t care about these off-site factors, they valued the quality of the work.”

"Thanks to them again, and also to my colleagues in the crew... They have a share of this trophy."

Here Chen Linfeng specifically said, "They deserve half of the military honor."

Cao Yu, Liu Qingshan and others in the audience laughed.

"I also want to thank Xixi. Just as you said, with you by my side, I won the prize. Thank you, my little koi..."

Chen Linfeng's speech went slightly beyond the remarks he had prepared.

This was one of the rare emotional moments for him.

Winning all three of Europe's top prizes was a very important milestone in his plan.

Those plans that seemed like a joke in my childhood are now being realized one by one.

The moment of winning the Grand Slam will come much earlier than expected.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He believed that if he won the three small gold medals in China and the three major gold medals abroad, he could get them by the age of 25.

If we look back at past film directors in the future, no matter what, this achievement of his will not be missing.

The speech is over, but it’s not over yet.

Cannes had their own welcome ceremony that year, which was to congratulate the youngest Palme d’Or winner.

Now, the winner of the three gold grand slams and the youngest Golden Bear Award winner appear here at the same time.

Naturally, there must be a ceremony to welcome the new king.

Skrick grabbed Chen Linfeng's arm and held it high, with the Golden Bear Award trophy shining at the highest point.

The two of them walked off the stage and walked around the aisle inside the venue.

The guests and audience members stood up and bowed to show their respect.

These people often don't forget to express congratulations.

"Congratulations, Chen."

"Congratulations, you are the youngest Grand Slam winner."

"Chen, congratulations!"

"..."

Looking from the camera above, every time Chen Linfeng walked by, the waves of people would rise and fall, looking spectacular.

I walked along the crowd in a winding manner and finally returned to where the crew was.

Skrick put down his hand and congratulated again, "Chen, congratulations on winning the Golden Bear Award."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."

After saying that, Chen Linfeng blinked and said, "Next time I come here to do a screening, I may have to trouble you to give me a good seat."

Screek laughed, "Haha, don't worry about that."

Once again, the closing remarks began on stage.

As usual, Chen Linfeng threw the trophy to Xixi.

"Keep it."

Liu Qianqian pretended to be wronged and said, "Next time I will definitely throw it to you."

But he couldn't hold back his joy and happily picked up the trophy to look at it.

The award ceremony is basically over.

The media center was already in an uproar.

When they saw Leonardo DiCaprio win the award, they thought "Joker" had no chance of winning the Golden Bear.

Some impatient reporters even booed.

Almost all of them agree that "Joker" is the best work of the year.

The more European and American journalists there are, the more they feel this way.

The movie was just what they wanted.

It was not until later that the Golden Bear Awards were announced and "Joker" won the prize.

The place suddenly became a sea of ​​cheers.

This is right.

In fact, for reporters, whether Chen Linfeng can win the award is big news and the number of clicks will not be low.

But deep down, they still want to see young people make breakthroughs in history.

Nominated three times and won the highest award at three film festivals, so that makes things look complete.

OCD ecstasy.

At almost the same time, the live broadcast room of the Six Princesses in China completely exploded.

The country has given enough attention to the competition of "Joker" for the Golden Bear Award.

Not only did they apply for the broadcasting rights, they also invited Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige to be guests.

One is the first winner of three major gold medals in the country, and the other is particularly interesting and is rumored to have a good relationship with Xiao Chen.

It's almost full of gimmicks.

The two were also slightly excited at this time, discussing the significance of winning the award.
