Chapter 512: The Golden Body Is Hard to Crown
At the closing ceremony on the last day, all the main creators of the two crews, including Li Chen, were waiting for the final moment to come.
As a wife, Liu Yifei also called Li Chen and told him the good news: she was pregnant with a son.
The call about the unspoken rules finally came. Li Chen felt relieved.
As the producer of the two films, Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to inform Xue Xiaolu and others of the news as soon as possible.
He called his wife back.
"I knew you could do it. I've already thought about it. If you can bring back a golden bear."
"I named the child Li Xin."
"Li Xin? Li Sanjin?" Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This name was indeed metaphysical.
"Yes, so what? Am I particularly talented?" Miss Liu said complacently.
Li Chen suppressed his laughter and nodded, "You are more than talented, okay, return Li Xin."
"What if we can't get the Golden Bear?"
This question stumped Miss Liu, as she had never thought about this question before.
"No way?"
"Of course not. The Berlin Film Festival is not our backyard."
Li Chen didn't tell Miss Liu too much about the inside story.
This year's Berlin Film Festival, from top to bottom, showed extraordinary favor to the Iranian director who was invited to the jury of this year's film festival and was imprisoned last year.
It is very likely that Li Chen’s unexpected joining and some unconventional tactics will not be able to change the absurd ending of this Berlin Film Festival.
Li Chen was deeply impressed by this Berlin Film Festival.
Probably because this year's Berlin Film Festival went too far.
In support of the Iranian director who has been imprisoned for six years and banned from directing for twenty years.
Iran's "A Separation" basically won all the major awards including the Golden Bear.
The Best Actor and Best Actress awards include all the leading actors in "The Farewell".
An unprecedented six Silver Bear Best Actor and Best Actress awards were given.
The Sixth Princess and the people from Sina have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Just wait until we get the first-hand information and release it in the country in time.
We received the good news from Yang Siwei that both plays will participate in the closing ceremony.
The Sina reporter repeatedly confirmed: "Boss Yang, does this mean both dramas will win awards?"
Yang Siwei smiled and said, "It should be close. People on this kind of phone never seem to joke around."
The Sina reporter immediately said excitedly: "Yes, Director Li is amazing."
"Thank you, Mr. Yang. I am in a hurry to finish the manuscript. I wish both of these dramas of our Rongchen Films a triumphant success."
Li Qiaoqiao, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Tang Yan were particularly excited and were all preparing their attire for the closing red carpet in the evening.
The high-end luxury brands that each of them endorses have already prepared for the red carpet show.
Before Chen Kaige and Chen Hong boarded the plane, they heard the last-minute news that two of Li Chen's dramas had been shortlisted.
Chen Kaige had a blank expression on his face, and Chen Hong said nothing, and the two boarded the plane in silence.
After sitting down on the flight, Chen Hong put on a blindfold so as to avoid having to look at the donkey face of the old baby.
Sina Entertainment News
"The closing ceremony of the 61st Berlin Film Festival is being held in Berlin, with Chinese actresses making a stunning appearance."
"The red carpet at the closing ceremony continued to be as dull and deserted as in previous years, with Chinese movie stars being the main stars."
"The biggest star is Chinese actress Zhou Xun, who won the Venice Film Festival."
There was a lot of heated discussion on Weibo in China, and the teams of Li Qiaoqiao and Zhou Xun issued press releases to cheer for their artists.
Li Qiaoqiao wore a bold white dress with off-shoulder slits from Elie Saab's spring couture collection today, which made people dare not look below the waist.
Zhou Xun wore a Chanel Haute Couture black see-through dress with star embroidery.
With her long hair combed behind her head, her delicate makeup, small face and deep eyes are full of agility and mystery, both beautiful and cool.
Huang Xiaoming is also a smart guy. He seems to have been inspired by Fan Qiaoqiao and started to go for the Chinese style.
A double-breasted black suit with embroidery not only shows his fashion taste, but also retains the charm of Chinese style.
Deng Chao and Li Chen are similar to Huang Xiaoming, all wearing standard black suits, and so is Wang Xueqi.
On the red carpet, black became the main color, except for Lotus, who was wearing a pretty outfit. "Brother Xun, this outfit is nice, small and smart, you can't tell your age at all." Li Chen walked along the red carpet with everyone and joked with Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun rolled his eyes helplessly: "Director Li, you should just focus on writing the script and talk less."
Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others turned their heads away and laughed.
Li Chen didn't feel embarrassed either.
Wang Xueqi laughed and said, "This Berlin Film Festival is so quiet. I have a feeling that if we hadn't come."
“It seems there isn’t even a protagonist.”
Deng Chao nodded and smiled: "Teacher Wang expressed my thoughts. I feel the same way."
"There is no tiger in the mountain"
Before Deng Chao finished speaking, Zhou Xun interrupted him: "Chao, just run hard. I would rather listen to Director Li talking about me than listen to you talking."
"Do you mean I am a monkey or everyone is a monkey?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Deng Chao quickly laughed out loud: "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, I didn't mean that, Brother Xun, please don't wrongly accuse me."
At the award ceremony, Li Chen was not surprised to see the crew of "The Farewell" and "The Turin Horse".
The director of "The Turin Horse" is known as the master of Hungarian films and is aloof and aloof.
When he saw Li Chen, he just nodded slightly from a distance, and was very arrogant.
The premiere of "The Turin Horse" that day set an embarrassing record.
It is the record for the most number of people leaving the theater during a movie.
Li Chen was able to sit there and watch this black and white documentary-like work, which was a great honor to Bela Tarr.
Instead, the director of "The Farewell" came over and had a chat with Li Chen.
The scene was crowded with people and the photographers were busy.
The award ceremony started on time.
The minor awards were uneventful, and even the loss of Zhang Yimou's "The Hawthorn Tree" to "Crystal Bear" was not surprising at all.
After all, Lao Mouzi didn’t come.
The first significant award has arrived.
Best Actress Award: Zhou Xun, Li Qiaoqiao and Kara Hui all looked calmer than the other.
But only you know the tension in your heart.
On the contrary, Tang Yan had a smile on her face and looked relaxed.
Her role as a supporting actor cannot compare to these three.
There wasn't much room for her to display her acting skills, and she had a normal attitude before coming here.
"The winner of the Best Actress award is: Kara Hui, "The Invisible Guest" (China)!"
Kara Hui was extremely excited. She covered her mouth and leaned forward as if she couldn't believe it.
Li Chen thought to himself that it was a good start, but it must not be just a good start.
Li Chen was the first to applaud Hui Yinghong.
This is the second time she has won the Silver Bear Award after winning the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for "The Devil Inside".
Zhou Xun and Li Qiaoqiao felt a little disappointed, but they still applauded Kara Hui.
If one of the three of them really wins the award and it's not her, Li Qiaoqiao, then Li Qiaoqiao would rather it was Kara Hui who won the award.
But the host seemed to have something else to say.
"I'm not done yet. There's more than one person who won the Silver Bear this year."
The guests at the scene were quite surprised, especially the Chinese reporters who were watching the big screen outside the venue.
“Could it be that Berlin is also laying double-yolked eggs?”
Soon, the guests at the scene and the media outside were stunned.
It’s not a double yolk egg, but it’s three stars that bring good luck!
"Best Actress winners: Leila Hatami, Sareh Bayat for "A Separation" (Iran)!"
There was an exclamation at the award ceremony.
Li Chen had a bad feeling in his heart, maybe he would not be able to win the Golden Bear.
Berlin still chooses to carry out politics to the end
