They walked on the red carpet, which was only about 30 meters long, for three minutes. Of course, this was relatively fast. Some walked for five or six minutes. Even the staff who maintained order couldn't stand it anymore, and some of them directly urged them.

.

After they signed their names on the signature wall, they were interviewed by three or five reporters.

"Director Zhao, are you confident about winning the Golden Bear this time?"

"Who is this young lady next to you? What is your relationship?"

"As an Asian, why can you use such a detailed story to tell a story about the European home front during World War II?"

…

"Haha, I am still confident that I will win the prize. Of course, whether I win or not depends on the judges."

"As for the beautiful lady next to me, she is the image ambassador of DreamWorks clothing company. This time she came to Berlin to show more possibilities of DreamWorks clothing."

"As for why I can make such a movie, I think that although I am Chinese, I don't know much about the West. This is proved by the fact that my novels are very popular in the West. Therefore, the movie can make a Western-style movie."

It’s no surprise that both have cores.”

…

"Miss Isabel, what inspired you to participate in this movie?"

"Oh, it was a good story that moved me. You know, my good sister Marceau said to me that if I don't take this role, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Now I am very happy that I took this role. It makes me

I really gained a lot.”

…

"Ms. Li, what is your first impression of Berlin? Is this your first time here?"

"Me, my first impression of Berlin should be serious and solemn. As for the first time? No, I have been here several times, but I always come and go in a hurry. This time I can really appreciate it.

I love the scenery here. Really, this city is very charming!”

…

After a round of interviews, Zhao Hong and the crew went directly to the corresponding seats and sat down.

When walking on the red carpet just now, Zhao Hong saw Liang Xiaohao, Fei Xiang, and Wu Qihua walking on the red carpet right behind them, because Liang Xiaohao was relatively well-known here.

Therefore, Zhang Manyu walked the red carpet with him. Compared with their side, the flash never stopped, so they were not even a little bit different.

Both of them were relatively calm.

Zhao Hong was a little surprised that Xiao Lizi, a teenage boy, was already very comfortable walking on the red carpet. It didn't look like it was his first time doing something like this.

After sitting down, Adjani said curiously: "Director, what awards do you think we can win tonight?"

She actually wanted to say whether she had won the award. In fact, she had already won the Best Actress award at the Berlin Film Festival once, and that was the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival. That was for her role in the film "

Rodin's Lover".

To be honest, she has no idea herself. If this movie were at the Cannes Film Festival, she would have an 80% chance of winning the Best Actress award, but that's not necessarily the case here.

Although there is no saying that the Best Actor and Best Actress will be awarded the same title, the second time should still be much more difficult.

Besides, she watched the movie "Ruan Lingyu" that day, and Maggie Cheung's performance impressed her with admiration, and she also felt vaguely threatened.

After hearing her words, Zhao Hong said in a low voice: "Who can say this clearly? It stands to reason that any film that can participate in the main competition section of the film festival can win heavyweight awards. We should wait and see!"

Although he is very confident in his movies, he has not been fooling around these past few days. He has basically understood all the shortlisted movies, and he has watched all the movies with good ratings. To be honest, the quality of his movies must be higher than those of the previous ones.

name.

To be honest, he was not surprised that his own movie won the Golden Bear.

Before I knew it, the red carpet session was over.

There were also many accidents, such as an actress accidentally losing her skirt, falling over accidentally, etc.

All kinds of weird things appeared one after another.

Some of them dress very strangely, just to stand out! They wear very little.

After all this, Zhao Hong was eye-opening!

Currently, Xiangjiang is far behind in terms of ranking on the red carpet!

Sophie was also present this time, but she did not walk on the red carpet with Zhao Hong. When she saw Adjani walking on the red carpet with him, although she was smiling, she actually felt uncomfortable.

This role was given to her. Although she knew rationally that she couldn't act this way, she felt empty in her heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Hong has been instilling positive energy into her every night these days, which makes her feel much better.

When being interviewed by reporters, she was also elegant and generous, not inferior to Adjani at all.

After Zhao Hong sat down, many filmmakers came to say hello to him.

For example, directors Lawrence Kasdan, Armin Müller-Stahl, Jan Duriel, etc. They are all much older than Zhao Hong and are seniors in the film industry. They are also strong competition this time.

By.

"Zhao, I've watched your movie, it's really good, I admire it!"

"Zhao, can my film be distributed by your company?"

"Zhao, I want to discuss it with you..."

…

Zhao Hong communicated softly with these people one by one. Although he rarely came to Europe, his reputation here was not small, especially when he had capital and talent, many people were willing to

made friends with.

Although everyone has different purposes for making friends with him, he does not reject anyone who comes.

It won't do him any harm to communicate more with them. They are using him, so why isn't he using them?

In fact, the interests are all mutual utilization.

"...The filmmakers present are all excellent. After more than a week of discussion, we have officially determined the ownership of each award today. Now let's invite our award presenter..."

This time, the festival chairman Frank Bell's speech was very brief.

I just said a few warm-up words and it was over.

Under the auspices of two hosts, one male and one female, we first reviewed the history of Berlin and quickly flashed through historical classic moments.

Pictures of many well-known filmmakers winning awards in Berlin immediately make people feel the historical significance of this film festival.

When Zhao Hong saw this situation, he felt that it was a propaganda film. Although it was a bit sensational, it was still very interesting.

After the opening remarks, it was time for the awards ceremony.

Each award is awarded slowly, mainly because there are not many awards.

The heavyweight awards include: Golden Bear for Best Film, Silver Bear for Best Actor, Silver Bear for Best Actress, Silver Bear for Best Director, and Special Jury Prize.

There are also several minor awards for the rest: Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award, Best Short Film, Alfred Award, Wolfgang Stodt Award, Caligari Award.

To be honest, if you don’t know about the last few awards, you don’t know what they are. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are just soy sauce. Anyway, they don’t get much attention.

The first award was for the best short film, and this award was awarded to "Caught Looking". This film was not well-known at all, and Zhao Hong didn't even know what it was about.

But it doesn’t matter, many people don’t care about this award.

I only saw the winner of the award chattering on the stage. In fact, it was all useless nonsense, but Zhao Hong saw that many people present felt the same way and looked very moved.

What a bunch of drama queens!

The second award came directly to a grand prize, that is, Best Actor. This award was awarded to Armin Müller-Stahl, the leading actor in the movie "Count Uzi".

This is one of Germany's greatest actors, his acting skills are superb, and his performance in this movie is impeccable. He is well-deserved for this award.

The old man in his fifties was still very humorous and talked freely when he spoke on stage. He did not do anything drastic because he could win this award.

After finishing his speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Next, the Alfred Prize and the Wolfgang Stodder Prize will be awarded. These two awards are actually temporary awards set up to encourage some newcomers. They are available this time, but they may not be available next time.

of awards.

The awards were handed out until the end, and the crew members of the films that did not win became even more nervous.

"...I will announce the winner of the Best Actress below..."

Zhao Hong saw that Adjani was trembling a little. She was sitting on his left side, and her hand unconsciously grabbed his thigh, making him grin.

At this time, the camera panned towards her, and she pretended to be calm.

Not far away, Zhang Manyu was even more miserable. When the camera was aimed at her, her face was a little stiff, but she still kept smiling.

"Zhang Manyu!"

"Isabelle Adjani!"

call!

When Zhao Hong heard it, she realized it was a double-yolked egg, which was a bit surprising.

In fact, this award has always been highly controversial within the jury. The main reason is that both Adjani and Maggie Cheung gave wonderful performances in the movie, so there is no problem in awarding it to either of them.
