"Hanni Abu Assad, "Heaven Now""
As a shout of surprise came from below the stage, the film clip of "Heaven Now" was shown on the big screen on the stage and awards instructions.
This is a guaranteed award for European filmmakers. Filmmakers from other continents can only envy but not look forward to it.
The next step is the award that filmmakers all over the world are looking forward to.
The second round of award-giving guests came on stage, and the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award was about to be awarded.
At this moment, Wang Shu's whole body began to become stiff.
Alfred Bauer was the first chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival. After his death in 1986, the film festival began in 1987 Presents the Alfred P. Ball Silver Bear Award for innovation in film.
This award was banned from the 2020 Berlin Film Festival.
Because, Alfred Bauer
served in the Nazis.
Wang Shu believes that he is most likely to win the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award.
The production cost of "Buried Alive" is less than RMB 300,000, making it truly a low-cost award-winning film.
In terms of production cost, "Buried Alive" is 100% inferior to other award-winning films.
The magic is that a coffin solves everything.
Such a script, such a perspective, and such a concept have never appeared in Berlin.
Calling it stunning is an understatement.
Since it rewards film innovation, "Buried Alive" is very competitive.
The award presenters walked onto the stage, and filmmakers from various countries in the audience were looking forward to it.
Although the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award is a low-ranking award, any award at the Berlin Film Festival is the highest honor that countless filmmakers can hardly win.
The Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award is also a coveted award for countless filmmakers around the world.
Zhang Hanyu glanced sideways at Wang Shu, knowing that Wang Shu must be looking forward to it. He turned back to the center of the stage and watched with attention as the award-presenting guest announced the prize.
He is an actor, and the only award he paid attention to during the Berlin Film Festival was the Silver Bear for Best Actor, which is one of the highest honors for actors at the three major European film festivals.
As long as he can win this trophy, he will become a top actor in one fell swoop when he returns to China.
Gu Changwei is also looking forward to it, imagining that it would be great if "Peacock" could win all the awards since the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award.
Let Xiao Mouzi see, without you, I, Gu Changwei, can not only stand alone, but I can also beat you!
on stage.
The award presenter opened the envelope and took a look at the contents, then faced forward, paused for a moment under the gaze of countless people, and then said loudly: "Winning the 55th Berlin International Film Festival Alfred ·The winner of the Ball Silver Bear Award is ""Buried Alive""
Then the film clip of "Buried Alive" and the selection narration appeared on the big screen.
"Novel. Unique perspective and surprising presentation."
Zhang Hanyu was the first to applaud after the presenter named the winner, and Gu Changwei, Zhang Jingchu and other filmmakers from all over the world followed closely and applauded warmly. Wang Shu patted Zhang Hanyu on the shoulder and walked onto the stage with excitement under the eyes of everyone.
Gu Changwei's eyes were full of regret and curiosity. When he was about 20 years old.
In a blink of an eye, he was almost 50.
I couldn't help but feel a little sad. Taste
However, since he won the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award, this young man may not have a chance to win the next big prize.
Whether the Golden Bear Award can go to Chinese films depends on him.
Which mainland director can beat Xiao Mouzi to pieces, it has to be him.
Who is Xiaomouzi’s royal photographer?
Shit!
Wang Shu stood on the stage holding the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award and spoke his acceptance speech with high spirits.
He had already prepared his acceptance speech, and it was just in time to use it.
“Thank you to the Berlin Film Festival”
“Thank you to Mr. Zhang Hanyu for all your help. Without his help.”
“Thank you.”
After saying a lot of beautiful words, she just walked off the stage.
After listening to Wang Shu’s story, Zhang Jingchu couldn’t help but feel regretful in her heart. If she had given him help in submitting his film for selection, then in the future...
Following up, Best Film Music Silver Bear Awards begin to be announced.
Zhang Hanyu looked at Wang Shu who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help but ask his doubts: "Why do you look unhappy?"
Wang Shu didn't hide it either. Frankly said: "If I win an award so early, I may not be able to win any subsequent awards."
Zhang Hanyu was very happy. This person was eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot. He was still not satisfied after winning a grand prize?
“Does every director who won an award at the Berlin Film Festival think so?” He couldn’t help but tease.
Wang Shu laughed and felt happy, thinking that if it were Gu Changwei, he would definitely be the same as him.
The Silver Bear Award for Best Film Sound Effect is over, and it was awarded to "The Forgotten Rhythm of My Heart" directed by a French director.
Next, the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Screenplay) will be awarded.
"I think our "Buried Alive" has the potential to win this award." Zhang Hanyu said in a low voice as he watched the award presenters walk quickly onto the stage.
Wang Shu heard this and looked sideways at him, as if to say, do you really dare to think that winning a prize in Berlin is as easy as drinking water?
“No one is a vegetarian in a film that reaches this point. I am satisfied with the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award.” Compared with Zhang Hanyu’s unrealistic fantasies, Wang Shu is still very pragmatic. of.
Zhang Hanyu said happily: "Do you believe what you said?"
"Uh" Wang Shu simply lay down and spread his hands, as if you don't believe it.
Contented?
No one can be satisfied!
Zhang Hanyu analyzed: "As far as I know, except for our "Buried Alive", all the works shortlisted for the main competition have a clichéd story structure. Only our film is novel and unique."
“I dare not say anything about other awards. If it is this trophy, our “Buried Alive” should have the greatest chance of winning.”
“This is like eating rice every day and suddenly eating glutinous rice. Such an amazing aftertaste.”
After listening to Zhang Hanyu's analysis, Wang Shu wanted to give a thumbs up and say, your analysis is very good.
Unfortunately, you are not a member of the jury.
"I'd like to lend you some good words." He responded, staring intently at the center of the stage.
At this moment, the award presenter has opened the envelope and is about to announce the winners.
“The winner of this Berlin International Film Festival’s Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award is.”
As several films scrolled on the big screen, the award presenter shouted loudly:
"A cloud in the sky!"
A look of disappointment flashed on Wang Shu's face, and then followed The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause.
