I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 509 The long-awaited final male lead!
The applause from abroad had not yet subsided.

Domestically, the box office performance of "Grandma's Grandson" took off, with "Lost in Thailand" following closely behind.

In contrast, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is clearly getting worse day by day.

Hua Yi was clearly willing but unable to do so.

No matter what they do right now, they have no way to turn the situation around.

"Grandma" has clearly become a dark horse in the Spring Festival film season.

No other movie can match its current popularity.

In addition to the soaring box office, the rating on Douban has remained unchanged.

To be precise, no other work can challenge his position.

at the same time.

Berlin finally brought the final day of the awards ceremony.

During this period, there was a lot of talk about "Grandma's Grandson" winning awards.

As for the Best Actor award, Chen Jin beat Jude Law and Matt Damon to become the most popular choice.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating it.

As for Zhu Yanmanzi, she has been paying close attention to "The Screen" these past few days, as it will introduce and provide information about some of the films.

Chen Jin appears relatively frequently.

This made Zhu Yanmanz quite excited. In addition, she had already received news that Chen Jin would stay, and she began to look forward to Chen Jin winning his second international Best Actor award.

Although Chen Jin might not care that much about it.

……

2013 2 Month 16 Day.

The awards ceremony for the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival was officially held at the Berlin Film Palace.

Chen Jin, together with all the main cast and crew of "Grandma's Grandson", has already walked the red carpet.

Compared to the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony's red carpet was noticeably quieter.

after all.

Most of the remaining production teams are award-winning ones.

As for those who were not notified, they have naturally already left.

As Chen Jin and the others came into view.

The screams echoed throughout the Berlin Film Palace.

The atmosphere on the red carpet had reached its peak.

When Zhu Yanmanzi appeared in front of the media cameras arm in arm with Chen Jin, people couldn't help but marvel at their perfect match.

A pink haute couture gown accentuated Zhu Yanmanzi's snow-white skin.

Chen Jin, on the other hand, abandoned the black dresses commonly seen on the red carpet and specially wore a white Dior haute couture suit.

The two stood together.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

With Chen Jin and the cast of "Grandma's Grandson" making their grand entrance as the final act, the red carpet closing ceremony was finally drawing to a close.

The group moved to the third row.

All we need to do now is wait quietly for the awards ceremony to begin.

Yongmei helped Wu Yanshu sit down. The group was clearly at a loss when faced with such a large scene.

In comparison, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Jin are already very familiar with major international film festivals.

They were complete novices.

As everyone took their seats, some people began to come over to greet Chen Jin and the others.

People are very curious about this young film star who has already won numerous awards.

Wu Yanshu looked at Zhu Yanmanz.

His gaze fell on the dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck.

"very beautiful."

"It fits your slender neck perfectly."

Upon hearing Wu Yanshu's words, Yongmei looked over.

Completely different from the high-end jewelry of major brands, it looks more like a private customization.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on her, Zhu Yanmanzi's face flushed slightly.

My memory went back to two days ago.

Valentine's Day, February 14th, is a holiday about love, romance, flowers, and chocolates.

The gemstone necklace around her neck and shoulders was a gift from Chen Jin.

She didn't know when Chen Jin had prepared this gift, only that it was a unique work of art in the world.

"Hello!"

"Ladies and gentlemen in the audience."

"It is a pleasure to meet everyone at the awards ceremony of the main competition section of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival."

"I believe we will all have a wonderful evening together."

Thoughts came back.

Annette Flick's melodious voice came from the stage.

This highly respected and well-known actor in Germany drew applause from the entire audience as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Now--"

"Let's give a warm round of applause to invite Wong, the chair of this year's international jury, and the jury members to the stage."

The crowd cheered.

All eyes were on the stage.

Wang Jiawei led the group of judges to the front row.

Here, they will witness the joy of all the winners.

The applause gradually subsided.

Wang Jiawei will now deliver the closing remarks.

"Good evening, fellow film industry colleagues!"

As soon as Wang Jiawei finished speaking, applause rang out again in the audience.

This internationally renowned director naturally commands respect.

"Someone asked me what movies are?"

"In my opinion, it's more like a memory buried deep in people's hearts."

"It is Ah Jin's reluctance when singing a lullaby to her grandmother, and Gong Er's resolute turn in the snow."

"The same—"

"In the past few days, I have watched countless classic works with the members of the jury. So many passionate and courageous souls have presented them to us without hesitation."

"I believe they will receive a satisfactory answer today."

obviously.

Wang Jiawei has a particular fondness for "Grandma's Grandson".

"I now declare the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially open!"

With Wang Jiawei's command.

The opening performance is ready, which is a common feature at most international film festivals.

The same applies domestically.

During the awards ceremony, music or dance is usually arranged to connect the different parts of the event.

The purpose was to liven up the atmosphere at the event.

The dance is over.

Annette Flick returned to the stage.

"Now let's focus on the first award, Best First Feature Film—"

This award has little to do with Chen Jin and her colleagues.

It is primarily awarded to film directors to recognize their outstanding first feature film.

"Kim Morante of 'Rocket'"

As soon as the host gave the order, cheers erupted from the audience.

That's basically how foreigners are.

They put in a lot of effort in creating emotional impact.

Applause and screams erupted one after another.

Chen Jin's mood was also affected at this moment, and she was not as serious as before.

"Brother Wen, what award do you think we'll win?"

At this moment.

The Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award is being presented on stage, which is more of a consolation prize than a formal award.

basically.

Winning this award means you're not eligible for the big prizes to come.

When Chen Jin suddenly asked him this question, Wen Muye couldn't help but scratch his head.

to be frank.

Winning the award was something he was already grateful for.

As for other things, he didn't have many thoughts.

A consolation prize?

Wen Muye answered subconsciously, his face showing a puzzled expression.

Chen Jin couldn't help but smile, but didn't continue the topic.

The film "Grandma's Grandson" was nominated for an Academy Award and won the highest honor in the country.

obviously.

Wen Muye didn't have much confidence in this work. Undeniably, Chen Jin did bring a lot of buzz to the project.

"They Saw a Bear"

Upon hearing the host's announcement, Wen Muye visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he answered that way, he ultimately didn't want to just receive a consolation prize.

now.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

The grand prize is still up for grabs.

Wen Muye was visibly nervous. Most of the awards had already been announced, but there was still no news of us winning.

Next.

Only the awards for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, the Jury Prize, and the ultimate honor—Best Film, also known as the Berlin Golden Bear—remain.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Jin has definitely been the most popular male lead during this period.

Perhaps we can win this big prize.

Besides.

They certainly wouldn't dare dream of winning Best Director or Best Picture.

That means we have to choose among these awards.

"She's won the Best Actress award."

Zhu Yanmanzi's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. The host reappeared on stage, clearly indicating that the moment everyone was eagerly anticipating had arrived.

Wu Yanshu looked towards the awards stage.

The film "Grandma's Grandson" has been extremely popular recently, so much so that her name appeared in the program booklet, making her a strong contender for Best Actress.

It would be a lie to say I'm not looking forward to it.

After all, being able to attend the Berlin Film Festival was already quite exciting for her.

If she can win the award, she will have no regrets in this life.

Yongmei noticed Wu Yanshu's reaction.

To be precise, her acting in "Grandma's Grandson" was indeed award-worthy.

For a while.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently.

Yongmei took Wu Yanshu's hand, as if to give her courage.

At this point, anything is possible.

After all, "Grandma's Grandson" has not yet won any awards.

Chen Jin looked over.

In comparison, the competition this year can be described as extremely fierce.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

The leading actresses in the films nominated for the main competition are all potential candidates.

Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche.

These two are absolutely national treasures of the French film industry, especially their works, which are almost household names.

and so.

Winning Best Actress is much harder than you might imagine.

The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival is—

Susannah Bill's voice resonates throughout the film.

As a member of the judging panel this time, he was also a presenter of the grand prize.

She didn't beat around the bush at all; she directly revealed the final answer.

"Paulina Garcia in Gloria".

"congratulations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out again.

As for Wu Yanshu, she was clearly a little disappointed.

Putting everything else aside, her acting in this movie is truly top-notch.

Unfortunately, the Berlin Film Festival's selection criteria are based on multiple factors.

The higher the popularity, the lower the chance of winning.

The applause continued unabated, but only "Gloria" emerged victorious in the end.

Wen Muye looked at Wu Yanshu, his eyes filled with a hint of comfort.

"It's alright, Grandma Wu."

"We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhu Yanmanzi clearly noticed the situation here; before the awards were announced, everyone did indeed have a chance to win.

but.

Life is always full of regrets.

Paulina Garcia is currently on stage delivering a passionate acceptance speech.

It's worth noting that she defeated several strong and internationally renowned actors this time.

Its gold content is naturally extremely high.

Wen Muye looked at Chen Jin, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

The only awards yet to be announced are Best Actor, Best Director, Jury Prize, and Best Picture.

Whichever one it is.

Its gold content is immeasurable.

"Brother Jin, the Best Actor award is about to be announced."

Wen Muye rubbed his hands together, noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, clearly placing all their hopes on Chen Jin.

"I have a hunch."

Wang Jingchun spoke first, his face filled with anticipation.

"Brother Jin will win the Best Actor award!"

This statement immediately sparked fantasies in everyone's minds.

They've waited so long just to be crowned, and Chen Jin definitely has the ability to do so.

Zhu Yanmanz also had some expectations.

However, Chen Jin was facing mostly top actors in the entertainment industry.

Leaving aside Matt Damon and Jude Law, Paul Rudd and Channing Tatum alone have had a profound influence.

I want to win Best Actor.

It was clearly not as easy as it seemed.

Even before this, Chen Jin was already a hot favorite.

During this period, it dominated the front page headlines of major portal websites.

Almost everyone placed their hopes on Chen Jin.

after all.

Only "Grandma's Grandson" was shortlisted from the entire Chinese film industry.

In the live broadcast room.

Many netizens are already eagerly anticipating the win, and almost everyone is convinced that Chen Jin will definitely take home the grand prize.

In just a moment, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to nearly a million.

It's worth noting that the entire awards ceremony was completely deserted.

This is enough to prove Chen Jin's personal influence.

"It must be our Brother Jin!"

"Shining in Berlin, our 'Grandma's Grandson' will surely triumph."

"We will be number one at the domestic box office and also take the top spot overseas."

"Let's not put so much pressure on Brother Jin. The competition this time is just too fierce."

"..."

Netizens were discussing it animatedly, and the live chat was flooded with comments.

domestic.

Su Wanyu was staring intently at the television, not daring to waste a single moment.

Chen Xianqi was so amused by his wife's reaction that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Honey, you're too nervous."

"I believe in our son; he will definitely win this award."

Yan Ning and the others were also watching the live stream.

The camera focused on Chen Jin's location, which also drew their attention to their daughter appearing on the big screen at the Berlin International Film Festival.

"Look, Old Zhu!"

"It's our Zizi."

Although Zhu Yanmanzi has accompanied Chen Jin to many award ceremonies, Yan Ning still feels extremely honored every time.

Compared to Chen Jin, these two pairs of mothers were clearly more nervous.

In full view.

Wang Jiawei has come onto the stage.

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wen Muye immediately sat up straight.

Putting aside his role as the jury president, the fact that a Chinese director was presenting the award felt like he was conveying some kind of message.

See this situation.

Zhu Yanmanz had also held her breath.

Everyone is waiting, and perhaps it really will be as they think—
