Chapter 147 Awards
With the screening of "Buried Alive" in Berlin, the country also learned about this movie.
"Is it really a scene shot in a coffin? The movie takes so long, the actors must not go crazy while filming!"
"Director Lin Nan is a bit ruthless in this movie. Did the actors have no problems after filming?"
Liu Yifei looked at the latest news with eyes full of joy.
"I believe he will come back with another trophy."
"You can really think about it."
Liu Xiaoli shook her head, this is not that easy.
"No, I have to send him a text message."
After that, he finished his lunch in a few seconds, smiled at Liu Xiaoli, and ran away.
"This girl."
......
Lin Nan got the suit that was just delivered. It was handmade and could only be described as expensive.
Regardless of whether there is an award or not, the shortlisted films must attend the dinner.
Tom looked at Lin Nan in a neat suit and felt a little envious.
"I really hate you people, you look so handsome in anything you wear."
"Just reduce the fat on your body and you'll be fine." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Let's forget it. I raised them one by one, and I can't bear to part with them."
Lin Nan managed to hold his breath without choking to death. This is a really weird reason.
“Is Ruian ready?”
"Well, I have already prepared it. He is qualified to compete for the Silver Bear Best Actor."
"That's good. I agreed to bring him to Berlin, and that's why he worked so hard to play this role."< br>
Lin Nan even had a feeling that Ryan Reynolds' performance this time was better than what he remembered.
Lin Nan heard some news from Han Sanping.
"Apple" did not wait for the awards ceremony. It had already signed sales contracts with many film producers and sold it to many places.
On the fifth day after the opening ceremony, Lin Nan began to pay attention to phone calls or invitations.
According to the usual practice, films that can win awards will be invited again separately and must attend the awards ceremony dinner. This is already an open unspoken rule.
Lin Nan looked through the jury information and found that two jury members were from China, Shi Nansheng from Hong Kong Island and Ning Ying from the mainland.
To a certain extent, this is an advantage for several domestic films.
Waiting for news was a very tiring thing. Lin Nan even had several auditory hallucinations, but as a result, there were no missed calls on her phone.
Han Sanping leads the team and has been selecting films recently. China is a big market and is also being watched by many foreign filmmakers.
Unlike before, this time Han Sanping did a lot more and tried to buy out the broadcast rights with the least amount of money.
Lin Nan also followed suit, mainly because he couldn't calm down.
The news that he was shortlisted for Berlin for the second time spread all over the country. It would be really embarrassing if he returned empty-handed.
Liu Yifei also sent a message saying that she wanted a trophy as a gift.
"Buzzing..."
The phone vibrated, and Lin Nan's nerves tensed instantly.
"Good news?" Han Sanping cast a questioning look.
It was Tom's call. Lin Nan was a little frustrated and shook his head.
"Tom, what's going on?"
"Hahaha, Lin, they personally came to inform you that you must be there when you are invited to the award ceremony. Ruian is already crazy with joy..."
"Okay, I understand."
His heart was beating very fast, and Lin Nan felt very at ease for a moment.
"Mr. Han."
"Huh?"
"China Film's 10 million is a huge profit." Lin Nan said with a smile.
Han Sanping reacted instantly, "Is there a prize?"
"The organizer went to the hotel to inform, but did not call."
"Okay, okay, then I wish you the best. You won the golden bear. I will tell the media that the price of "Buried Alive" was negotiated after you won the award."
"Give me a good reputation?" Lin Nan asked. .
"That's right."
"That's good."
......
When I returned to the hotel, I saw Ryan Reynolds and Tom. After blowing on the bottle, the red wine and champagne opened a lot.
"Lin, come on, let's have a drink." Tom invited casually.
"Director, let's have a couple of drinks. I'm really happy today." Ryan Reynolds also said.
“I don’t know what the award is yet. Is it too much to celebrate in advance?”
“Anyway, a prize is enough. Ryan will also have one more sentence on his resume in the future, saying that he has been shortlisted. Nominated for the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Actor, right? Maybe it’s not a nomination but a win, haha.”
Tom and Ryan Reynolds clinked the bottles and said with a smile. .
……
"Didn't you receive it?" Tong Dawei asked.
"Not yet, there are still two days, just wait."
Li Yu comforted the others and also comforted herself.
She has been nominated for the Golden Lion, won the Best Asian Film Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and was nominated for the Golden Bear Award this year. She is also among the top few among young directors, but the most core awards, I keep passing her by...
"I heard that Director Wang received an invitation to the awards show, and someone came to notify her."
Fan Bingbing suddenly interrupted.
"What about Director Lin?" Liang Jiahui asked.
"I should have received it, the people from China Film Group said so."
Liang Jiahui nodded. He had watched the movie "Buried Alive" and it showed his ability.
Fan Bingbing’s words made Li Yu’s last hope disappear.
"No chance?" Li Yu said softly as his body became a little weak.
"Let's wait a little longer. It's not the last minute yet. Even if it doesn't happen, we will still go to the awards show. This is the dignity that a shortlisted film should have."
Leung Ka Fai has rich experience, He was also the oldest one and spoke unhurriedly.
The two days passed very quickly, and the atmosphere of the Berlin Film Festival reached its climax. Today is the time to witness the results, and the red carpet that attracts the attention of the whole world.
Lin Nan put on a suit early. He was over 1.8 meters tall and looked very energetic.
Tom is so fat that he doesn't look good in anything he wears. Ryan Reynolds is taller than Lin Nan, and his face is full of smiles at the moment.
"Director, with your figure and appearance, it would be a pity not to be an actor."
Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.
"Ryan, you guessed it right. He originally majored in acting in college, but he switched to directing in the middle. He has acted in two movies."
Tom preached to Ryan Reynolds.
“Okay, get ready to go.”
……
The Berlin Film Festival is the top international A-class film festival.
In terms of scale, it is also one of the largest film festivals.
In the waiting area before entering the venue, Lin Nan was busier than last year. There were many people saying hello and greetings. He was one of the most promising directors tonight. "Buried Alive" was being screened in Berlin these days, so eye-catching. .
"Lin, I hope you can go to Venice, which is a paradise for art films."
A cordial invitation from an Italian filmmaker.
"I will go, thank you."
There are many Chinese filmmakers, and Fan Bingbing wore something particularly eye-catching today, wearing a tube top white dress with ink Chinese style on it.
I have to say that Fan Bingbing really has some ideas when it comes to what he wears on the red carpet.
Zhang Yang’s "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" was shortlisted for the panorama section. The lead actor, Uncle Zhao, was not here, so he seemed a little lonely.
Wang Quan'an is wearing a black tunic suit, which matches Yu Nan's white one very well.
The red carpet began, and the guests and participating crews walked onto the Avenue of Stars.
The twenty-six crews in the main competition unit attracted the most attention.
Actresses are the main attraction on the red carpet. Fortunately, there have been no scenes of being chased away from the red carpet.
Lin Nan walked on the red carpet with Tom and Ryan Reynolds and was stopped by the host for an interview.
"Lin, how did you come up with the idea of a movie like "Buried"?"
"Chairman Paul Schrader invited me twice. At that time, it was only 3 months before the opening ceremony. Months, more than two months before the registration deadline.
The time is tight, and I can only think of the script "Buried". Do you know how long it took us to shoot from start to finish? "
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, there was an exclamation of surprise.
“It’s hard to imagine that this is a movie that was shot in two weeks...”
The host said in great surprise.
……
The awards ceremony officially began, and the huge auditorium was packed with seats.
Teddy Award, Crystal Bear Award, International Film Critics Award...
These other awards were announced first. "Tuya Wedding" and "Falling Leaves Return to their Roots" actually won the Humanitarian Spirit Award.
The most exciting part is always the final main competition unit module.
Lin Nan's front row is the crew of "The Secret Service".
"Director Lin, we met at the reception of "The Departed", I am Matt Damon."
"Hello, I'm Lin Nan."
I feel a little excited, because "Mars" is still in post-production over there.
......
The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution was won by the crew of "The Secret Service".
There is one less competitor for the following awards.
Best Film Debut Award...
Silver Bear Award for Best Film Score...
"Silver Bear Award for Best Actress, Nina Hoss, "Yela."< br>
As an actress came on stage, Lin Nan clearly felt that Ryan Reynolds became nervous.
"Ryan, relax."
No one could not be nervous at this time, unless they knew that there was no hope at all, but Lin Nan still comforted him.
"Director, I know..."
Tom also clenched his fists, feeling more eager than Ryan Reynolds.
A member of the jury was changed, "Winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor..."
Ryan Reynolds tensed up instantly.
"Julio Chavez, "Others"."
As if a filled balloon burst a hole, Ryan Reynolds suddenly became decadent.
"Ryan, there will be another chance in the future." This time it was Tom who comforted him.
"Well, I understand, being nominated is already the biggest encouragement to me. I am the starring role."
Ryan Reynolds chuckled, but it was more about have no choice.
Lin Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, just because there was a Chinese face on the stage, Shi Nansheng.
"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Director is:
Lin Nan, "Buried", congratulations."
Shi Nansheng pronounces the word Lin Nan in Chinese came out.
“Oh, Lin, congratulations.”
"Director, congratulations."
Lin Nan stood up with a smile on his face and hugged Ryan Reynolds.
Many people were looking at him, including Han Sanping, Yu Nan, Fan Bingbing, Liang Jiahui in the distance...
These people were all smiling and applauding, but Wang Quan'an's smile made Lin Nan a little It's sour, but I still haven't hit it. The theme of "Tuya Wedding" is too dominant.
“Congratulations, Director Lin Nan, this is your second time winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Director.”
Shi Nansheng said in Chinese.
"Thank you, actually I want the golden bear more, haha."
Standing in front of the microphone, Lin Nan paused for three seconds before speaking.
"Thank you Berlin for giving me this silver bear again, the second Best Director trophy. In fact, I really want to change it to a different color, such as gold..."
Audience A violent burst of laughter broke out.
"But think about it, it only took me seventeen days to shoot this movie and I got this silver bear. This should be considered the biggest success, so I am satisfied.
I am still young , Golden Bear, Golden Lion, Golden Palm, I will go one by one, thank you.”
The applause was like thunder. Lin Nan’s last speech was full of the confidence and vitality that a young director should have, and infected many movies. People, the film was made in seventeen days, which also shocked everyone.
