Chapter 456: Night of Glory (Sfqk Additional Update)

"This is a laughing show. CCTV received tens of thousands of letters from viewers within a week. It truly reflects the needs of the masses and satisfies what everyone lacks and desires most, joy!"

"The four hosts all performed very well. The impressions of the three sketches are still fresh in my memory. My favorite is "My Chinese Heart"!"

“I hope you can continue to do it next year. Our whole family and the whole factory support you!

At the Ministry of Culture, Ding Qiao read the newspaper happily.

That's right, the awards are about to be held in Berlin, and the Spring Festival Gala is still being discussed with great interest here. In fact, it didn't take long to talk about it. Chen Qi and the others left on the first day of the new year, and the day of the closing ceremony happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Minister Ding! Minister Ding!"

At this moment, a man ran in panting, waving a telegram:

"There's news from Berlin, good news!"

"What good news? Oh, I'll see for myself!"

Ding Qiao grabbed it and scanned it quickly, then scanned it again, slapped the table and laughed: "Okay! Okay! Xiao Chen and the others lived up to expectations, at least the first step was successful!"

The telegram briefly said two sentences: To participate in the closing ceremony, the United Front achieved its expected goal.

What is the intended goal?

Before going to Berlin, everyone discussed inviting those international friends to come to China.

It seems that the communication went smoothly and the other party agreed.

Berlin.

The night before the closing ceremony.

At the wine bar on the first floor, Shadra asked Chen Qi for a drink. She liked this Chinese guy very much. He was handsome and capable. If the other party agreed, she would not mind the old cow eating the young grass.

"Madam, my mission has been completed. You should find the corresponding person for foreign exchanges."

'I know, I've talked to them and basically reached an agreement, but I think it's hard to communicate with them - "

Chen Qi couldn't help but laugh, waving his hands repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, your Shandong accent always sounds kind to me.

,

"If you can't change it, it belongs to you!"

Shadra shrugged and said: "Anyway, you are the best person to communicate with. I have something to ask you. If I want to set up a fund in Weifang to help those Chinese children, is it feasible?"

"No, there is no such thing as funds in China - A-shares are fine, but A-shares have exploded now, and I want to buy stocks!"

‘What can we do? I also want to set it up in the name of Uncle Scud! "

"How about this-""

Chen Qi thought for a while and came up with an idea: "If you can't set up a fund, you can set up a scholarship, such as 1,000 US dollars per year, to reward ten children who excel in the college entrance examination. You can also contribute money to build a monument to Uncle Scud, or find an American TV station. Making a documentary about the concentration camps can also be considered as leaving something for future generations. "

"That's a good idea!"

Shadra's eyes lit up and he said with satisfaction: "I knew it would be useful to ask you. To be honest, Chinese officials are still too rigid-minded. It would be great if they were all like you.

"That's great, that's great. You mean you have plans to come to China?"

"Of course, I'll bring a lot of people with me!"

"Is your husband coming?"

"He can do it too. He also wants to expand his banking business to China.'

"This is difficult to handle. It's very complicated for foreign banks to come in. This is no longer the era of Shanghai."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Your officials said they would go to the United States for a visit and exchange. About when?"

"I don't know. We can only negotiate after returning to China. If I go to the United States, I will definitely contact you." It's a deal. I'll be waiting for you to come and I'll entertain you well.

Speaking of which, you are such a likable young man. Shadra laughed.

"It's a pity that I have a girlfriend. She is appointed by the state. If we break up, we will shoot her!"

Chen Qi chatted with her happily for a while, and Shadra invited him to drink a glass of Martell. She will also attend the closing ceremony tomorrow. These international friends have all been specially invited by Berlin.

Chen Qi wandered upstairs and returned to the floor where he was stationed.

Gong Xue was wandering in the corridor and said with a smile: "Did you finish the drink so quickly?"

"What's there to drink with a half-aged American married woman? What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to eat after dinner and go back to the house."

When she went in, Chen Qi curled his lips, his jealousy getting bigger and bigger. He also returned to the house. Li Wenhua was wandering around the house. He looked dizzy and said, "What's wrong with all of you? Agitation?"

‘I’m nervous, excited and worried! "

Li Wenhua stopped and said: "I just went to see Liu Ju. A few people were playing chess. Good guy, the pawns turned around before they crossed the river. The horses were used as cannons. They were still pretending. Everyone was nervous. I fell asleep tonight."

"As for it?"

"Why not!"

Li Wenhua was suddenly excited and said: "If we really win an important award, I can't even think about the highest award, anything below will do! You know what this means, just like the women's volleyball team won the championship, just like Nie Weiping killed Yoshida Ishida is just like Li Ning who won six gold medals in one breath, the first time in history!

You often go abroad and know the status of Chinese movies, but they basically have no status!

Tell me, can I still sleep? Can Bureau Liu still fall asleep? "

"You've risen too high, haven't you?

Chen Qi was still heartless. Li Wenhua was a little angry and ran out to play chess with Liu Zhigu again.

In fact, he understood very well that after the reopening, everyone reacted with confusion, envy, and

Facing the world with an inferiority complex is the same in basically every industry, eager to be recognized by others.

There is no separation between style and style, both styles blossom.

If competitive sports are the most effective way to boost morale, then movies rank second.

Because people in other industries don’t understand it, and they are most familiar with culture and sports. I think back then, how many domestic directors worked hard to go to the three major European universities, and after winning awards, they went to the Oscars. Year after year, they were jokingly called "running for the Olympics."

"Oh, this Lao Li is so excited and nervous after being treated by me."

Chen Qi washed himself up, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes for a long time and then opened them again: "Damn it, I can't sleep either!"

On the second day.

No one was in good spirits, and all of them had heavy dark circles under their eyes, and had to make up temporarily to cover them up. Everyone's state is very contradictory. It looks like a group of defeated soldiers and defeated generals, but these defeated soldiers and defeated generals are going to kill the generals, seize the flag, and achieve supreme merit!

Chen Qi was still wearing a black suit and glasses without prescription.

Gong Xue changed into another dress, and she brought three sets in total.

"Are everyone here? Are everyone here?"

Liu Zhigu asked twice and waved his hand: "Be alert and don't lose your place. Everyone is doing well! Let's go!"

The Berlin Film Festival, which lasted for more than ten days, has finally come to an end. 25 films have been unveiled in turn, with mixed reviews. "Life is Beautiful" has received a bonus like cheating.

Journalists, film critics, and peers all praised it.

The closing ceremony was held at the Animal Palace.

The group arrived in a courtesy car and had to briefly walk the red carpet. This time there were fewer people, but there were more reporters. As usual, they crowded on both sides and held up guns and cannons.

Chen Qi waved and walked across the red carpet with a smile. This time there were no Japanese to cause trouble. In front of them was the crew of the American film "Season of Champions". The main creator deliberately stayed at the end of the red carpet.

"Congratulations! You have produced a great work!"

They seemed to be waiting specifically to say this.

Liu Zhigu didn't think anything of it, but as he walked a few steps forward, someone called out from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was the crew walking on the red carpet behind him, and they were also very enthusiastic: "I like your film so much!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, we love your movies too!

Another polite word.

Liu Zhigu tasted the product and said happily: "Xiao Chen, why does it seem so popular?"

“People come here for political elements and keep a low profile to save their character. The greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment.

,

"That's right, you can't show off and be complacent, otherwise you'll be embarrassed!"

Entering the main venue of the Animal Palace, a group of people occupied a whole row in the huge hall. The first few rows were the judges' seats. Huang Zongjiang looked back and nodded to them.

The series of actions made everyone's hearts pound.

What do you mean?

But I’m not sure, what if it’s not the case?

Everyone sat here eagerly, waiting in silence for the closing ceremony to begin and the final result.

The closing ceremony is in the evening.

Berlin is six hours behind Beijing, and it is early morning in Beijing.

In the courtyard of the Ministry of Culture, Ding Qiao got up from the bed and wrapped himself in a large cotton-padded jacket.

Looking at the dark sky outside the window, it was still early before dawn, but he did not admit that he had little sleep because of his age.

I simply took a book and ran to the living room to read through it. I kept thinking: "Should it start over there? I hope there will be a good result——."

"Dingle bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone scared him so much that he almost had a heart attack. He picked it up angrily and listened to it, then he became happy again: "Lao Zhu, you got up so early too?"

Hongkong.

On the Clear Water Bay studio, production of "Shanghai Nights" started early.

Starring Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong and Liu Xuehua, the four leftist cadres are all present. They have very different attitudes now. After all, they are people who have been in Haizi: I have even shaken hands with the leaders of big countries. Those of you who are hanging out in Hong Kong have met Governor of Hong Kong? Not to mention the Governor of Hong Kong, have you ever seen a Director?

"Hua Zai, is Berlin closed today?" Zhong Chuhong said suddenly.

"yes!"

"I hope Brother Qi can win the grand prize, and we will follow suit!"

"Do you still need to tell me? Yesterday I went to Wong Tai Sin to ask for a lottery ticket. If I sign it, it's no problem!" Liu Dehua said.

"Please! We believe in socialism now and no longer engage in feudal superstition. It's all your fault that Brother Qi didn't win the prize!"

“This year is the 33rd birthday of the Berlin Film Festival. In addition to old friends such as the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Italy, I am very pleased to see some new blood joining the festival.

We welcomed a Czech film, we saw the Japanese film "Beast", and of course, there were also Chinese filmmakers who came to Berlin for the third time——"

Chairman Harder walked onto the stage, held a microphone, and said slowly: "After more than ten days of screenings, the enthusiasm of the audience has surrounded us, which is enough to warm up this cold night and let everyone enjoy the purest film art together.

Now, let’s invite our respected jury to take the stage to announce the final awards! ’

Hader made some opening remarks, the jury appeared, and the awards ceremony immediately began.

Chen Qi just counted. Including himself, there are a total of 9 crews participating in the closing ceremony. If no double-yolked eggs are laid, there will be 9 awards.

The three awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress are fixed.

"Outstanding Individual Award: "Sea of ​​Silence"!"

While he was thinking, Huang Zongjiang had already read out the first name on the stage. An Austrian director came on stage, received a Silver Bear trophy, and gave an excited acceptance speech.

Yan Shunkai was curious and asked in a low voice: "Is there another Bronze Bear Award?"

"The highest prize in Berlin is the Golden Bear, and the rest are all Silver Bears, not Bronze Bears." Gong Xue actually answered.

"That's not so good!" Yan Shun said.

“Many of their prizes are temporary and divided into pork.

Chen Qiqi glanced at his sister, "You can do it, you're taking my job." Gong Xue bowed his hand, obviously doing enough homework.

Subsequently, a special honorary award was awarded to a West German film and a special jury award was awarded to a Turkish film. They were all temporary scraps and consolation in nature.

"Nine to three!"

Followed closely by, "Best Director, Eric Romer's "Pauline on the Beach"!"

"Nine to four!"

"What are you muttering about?"

Yan Shunkai suddenly became excited when he saw him, and couldn't help but ask. Chen Qi explained: "The film, male lead, and female lead are fixed. Now there are four awards, none of which include us."

Yan Shunkai was confused for a second, and then his eyes widened: "You mean?"

"No, no, there may be a jury award, but I'm not sure!"

Chen Qi leaned forward and stared at the stage without blinking, his mind racing: There are five films left, and the remaining awards may be Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Jury Prize, and a Unknown Prize.

Which one can I get from "Life is Beautiful"?

Give me a performance award? He himself felt that there was little chance of an acting award. The performances of Yan Shunkai and Gong Xue were very good, but they only supported the film and did not reach a level that was obviously superior.

"Will you give us a jury award?" Gong Xue also asked.

“The jury award is second only to the Golden Bear, well, I’m very satisfied!

"Li Wenhua said.

"Didn't Xiao Gong say that apart from the golden bears, they are all silver bears? Are they worthless?" Yan Shun said.

"Hush! Award it, award it!"

I could only hear the person on the stage read again: "The winner of the Jury Prize at this film festival is: "The Family"

""honeycomb"! "

Um?

Several people were stunned and immediately realized that Gong Xue's little mouth opened so wide for the first time except when eating bananas:

: "Double, double yolk eggs?!"

"Wait a minute! Does this mean-·

An undercurrent hidden under the ecstasy that had to be controlled, like magma rolling and rising in a volcano, quickly spread throughout this row of people. Everyone stretched their necks, ready to breathe out, but they dared not climb to 100%.

Liu Zhigu raised his buttocks and looked at the stage eagerly.

The awards continued on the stage:

"Best Actress: Yevgenia Gruschenko, "The Love You Want"!"

"Best Actor: Bruce Dern, "Season of Champions"!"

Nine to eight!

Only one left!

Liu Zhigu's hanging butt finally gained enough confidence and he stood up. Almost at the same time, Li Wenhua also stood up, followed by Yan Shunkai, Gong Xue and everyone in the team who could no longer sit still.

Just in time, Bruce Dern left the stage after finishing his speech.

"Haha, it seems that some friends can no longer hold back, K! Let us reveal the final answer!"

Finally, a name came out of the mouth of the presenter: "This is an undisputed result. The jury unanimously approved that the winner of this year's Golden Bear Award is,

"Life is Beautiful" from China! "

(Finish and call it a day!

Have you watched the National Day movie? Which movie is good?
