Stay away from sick dogs [entertainment]

The final day of the festival is the Closing Ceremony and Awards Ceremony.

The "Teddy Bear" awards ceremony was held two days in advance, also at 8 pm.This is the highest honor for LGBT films, and it is specially designed for LGBT works in various sections of the Berlin Film Festival. This year, a total of 24 films participated in the "Teddy Bear" competition.In fact, the three major film festivals all set up LGBT awards, the one in Venice is called "13°QueerLion", and the one in Cannes is called "QueerPalm", but the history is not as long as that of teddy bears.

For a few films that were shortlisted for the main competition, this award is not important, but for films such as "The Cabinet" that were only shortlisted for the non-competition, it must be fought for.

Wang Jinfa's distribution strategy has always been very clear - to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival and sell the film to more regions.The "trading market" of the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals is the largest, while Venice is more general. First, it is because of the inconvenient transportation - it is not held on the island, but on a resort island, 20 minutes away from Venice. Second, because Venice pays more attention to The film market for "art" is not big. At the same time, Cannes pays more attention to "commercial", which does not match the positioning of "The Cabinet". In this way, both Venice and Cannes are excluded. Wang Jinfa sees Come and see, and finally scheduled to premiere in Berlin.He didn't strive for the competition unit, which was too difficult, so he thought that the non-competition unit was also good, such as the panorama unit, and then competed for the "Teddy Bear Award" and other small prizes, got some usable promotional materials, and then Participating in a BCD film festival that does not require a premiere is very rewarding.

…………

24 crews have been invited to attend the "Teddy Bear" awards ceremony.Among them are two Chinese crews, one is for "Cabinet" and the other is for "Fireworks". The main creators and leading actors of the two films are naturally arranged together.

Before the start, Wang Jinfa casually talked with the director of "Fireworks" about the difficulty of filming.

"Hey," Wang Jinfa said, "it's not easy to do anything without the "Film Production Permit". Pulling up the team, doing post-production...Many places require you to see the original "Film Production Permit." Speaking of this, he And said meaningfully, "You understand."

"No, I don't understand." The director of "Fireworks" said, "I am different from you. I have a "Film Production Permit."

Wang Jinfa: "??????"

"Well, I have." The other party said again, "The synopsis of my movie says 'the hero's lover XX', the people in the film bureau didn't expect the lover XX to be a man, not a woman. They took it for granted that his The lover is a woman."

Wang Jinfa: "??????"

Before he could recover from the shock, the lights dimmed and the "Teddy Bear" awards ceremony began.

The hostess took the stage, and the audience applauded thunderously.She held a microphone in her hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the..." After speaking English, she switched to German. "

Going through the process one by one, all the guests are very good at speaking.I don't know how long it took before the awards ceremony finally reached the stage of announcing the awards.

Feeling that Wang Jinfa was a little nervous and looking forward to it, Jiang Yuan also became a little nervous and looking forward to it.

The first is the unit of "Best Short Film". No.3 is an American film, No.2 is a German film, and No.1 is a Brazilian film.

Next is the "Best Documentary" unit, No.3 is... No.2 is... No.1 is a Japanese film.

Then came the "Best Feature Film" unit.

The award presenters muttered: "No.3 is..."Sister" from Japan!"

A Japanese female director stepped up heroically, took the award and the microphone, and said with a smile: "Although "Sister" was shortlisted for the main competition, I am still happy to get the Teddy Bear No.3..."

After the Japanese director finished speaking, another award presenter continued to announce according to the procedure: "No.2 is... "A Feast of Desire" from the UK!"

After the words fell, Wang Jinfa suddenly approached Jiang Yuan next to him and said, "It's over!!!"

Jiang Yuan was a little dazed: "Huh?"

"Damn it," Wang Jinfa said, "it's wind direction has changed this year!"

Jiang Yuan was at a loss: "What?"

"Didn't you notice," Wang Jinfa continued to explain, "No.3 and No.2, as well as No.1 in 'Best Short Film' and No.1 in 'Best Documentary', are all lesbian films! "

"...Ah." Jiang Yuan recalled carefully and found that it was really the case.

"In the past, there were many gay men." Wang Jinfa sighed, "This year the trend has really changed."

Unlucky.

Jiang Yuan comforted softly: "It's okay. As long as we know that our film is very good-looking, you can just treat the judges as blind..."

Before "Taishan" was uttered, the award presenters on the stage said: "Thebestfilm, for, goes to... Closet, from China."

So Jiang Yuan stopped abruptly, swallowed back the word "Taishan", and said, "Director Wang, No.1 is our "cabinet"."

As for Wang Jinfa, for the umpteenth time tonight: "??????"

The jury of the Teddy Bear Award said in the award speech: ""The Cabinet" is a well-made film, which tells the delicate stories of three generations and three couples of homosexuality in China... This film allows the audience to deeply understand another culture, It also has a lot of universal significance and universal value. The film does not criticize anything from the commanding heights of morality. On the contrary, it shows the feelings of children in Chinese culture towards their parents, as well as the changes in the concept of children and the concept of parents—— It is becoming more and more enlightened and better. The acting skills of several actors in the film are real and natural, and the director's narrative method is orderly and not messy... Among them, the stories of Xin Yuan, Yao Zhen and Zhu Yingying are the most embarrassing. It shows the special form of 'gay, lesbian family', and the film's concern for women's situation is shocking..."

Wang Jinfa also understood a little bit.It turned out that the jury's favorite part was "Physical Marriage" and "Women". "The Cabinet" is really different from those pure lesbian films.

When it was his turn to give a thank you speech, Wang Jinfa held the trophy in one hand - the trophy was a teddy bear, and held a microphone in the other hand. As a graduate of New York University, he had the best English besides the British and American directors tonight: "Thanks to the jury I like it. This is a great honor, and I would like to dedicate it here to China, which has gone through hardships step by step, but is becoming more and more tolerant. There are three pairs of protagonists in "Ark", a pair in their 30s, and a pair in their [-]s years old, and a couple in their twenties. In the beginning, all of them were in straight marriages. Later, some of them began to marry, and later, some of them chose to come out. It's not easy...even difficult. I think Tell the first two types of people, you should be more courageous. In addition, I also thank my actors, Shen Du, Jiang Yuan, and..., and..., without them, this film would not have such shocking power .”

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands.

He just checked last night. In the past, a total of three Chinese-language films won the Teddy Bear Award, but they were either from Hong Kong or Taiwan. Therefore, "The Cabinet" produced by a mainland company and directed by a mainland director is the first in the mainland to receive a teddy bear. of.

They have let people know that there are also filmmakers in mainland China who care about and show LGBT groups.

Finally, the organizing committee awarded the jury awards and reader awards one by one. After the awards ceremony was over, all the award-winning directors stood on the stage to take a group photo tonight.So, Jiang Yuan only saw Wang Jinfa, who took the "Teddy Bear" No. 1, standing in position C, surrounded by female directors in a big circle.

…………

Jiang Yuan didn't expect that besides the teddy bear, the movie "Cabinet" won the "Panorama Audience Award" in Berlin.The panorama unit is the largest unit except the main competition unit, and the "panorama audience award" is the biggest award of the panorama unit.

The No.3 of the Panorama Audience Award is an American film, No.2 is an Indian film, and No.1 is their "Cabinet".

The award ceremony for the panorama unit will be held on the day of the closing ceremony at [-]:[-] pm, while the award ceremony for the closing ceremony and main competition unit will be at [-]:[-] pm.

The chairman of the panorama unit and the editor-in-chief of the film magazine will present awards, and after the awards ceremony, "The Cabinet" will be re-screened.

Since no Chinese-language film was shortlisted for the main competition this year, news of Wang Jinfa winning the Panorama Audience Award was quickly reported.Although this is a non-dragon film, it is also a mainland movie. In addition, Liu Zhaojun called a big marketing account to fuel the flames. For a while, the entire network knew that Shen Dujiangyuan's movie was of high quality.

Then, only about two hours after the "Panorama Audience Award" was awarded, when Jiang Yuan and Shen Du were watching the closing ceremony together at the hotel, Jiang Yuan received a transoceanic call from his manager.

"Hello, Sister Zhao?" Sister Zhao's name is Zhao Di, but because she is thin, everyone in the "Hefeng" company calls her Zhao Tiao.

"Well, Yuanyuan."

Jiang Yuan counted Beijing time: "Is it three o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Yes." Sister Zhao said with a smile, "good news. I sent Jiang Sixuan the results of "The Cabinet", including the copyright prices of dozens of countries and regions around the world, and the Teddy Bear Award. The award presentation speech on the official website, "the acting skills of several actors in the movie are real and natural", and the words of the Panorama Audience Award on the official website half an hour ago, as well as the German media's high evaluation of the film and the leading actors ...He let go and told you to audition as soon as you return to Beijing. And...it should be very interesting."

Jiang Yuan: "!!!"

This movie was recommended to him by Wang Jinfa after the finale, because he thought it was a good match—the actors must have beautiful eyes and very good acting skills.Because only the eyes of the male protagonist can move after a cerebral hemorrhage, this role requires the actor to express everything with only his eyes.Wang Jinfa said that Director Jiang is an international director, and his guidance is precious. If Jiang Yuan can use this role to learn and hone his acting skills, he will be promoted. After all, "eyes" are the most difficult thing to express.

Jiang Yuan has been preparing for a long time, but Jiang Sixuan always felt that Jiang Yuan was just a newcomer, no, unexpectedly, tonight he would let go.

"..." This life after rebirth is like a dream.

Jiang Yuan recalled carefully.

He is kissed, he is born again.Because he was shocked and moved by Shen Du's notebook full of "positive" and other things, he became more diligent, and then his acting skills improved and improved bit by bit, and finally he performed the living "Xin Yuan". Blonde recognized it, was recognized by the jury, and was recognized by the reporters. At the same time, Shen Du helped him sign a new company and helped him sell the copyright. So now, he who originally only "debuted" in a small director's low-cost film , it is possible to play the leading role in Jiang Sixuan's big production!

Shen Du...

Because of Shendu, he is getting better and better.

Jiang Yuan even had a feeling that he was reborn because of the other party, better because of the other party, and that he was destined to be with the other party all his life.He will be even happier.Shen Du is the compensation sent from heaven.

Seeing him in a daze, Shen Du asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Shen Du," Jiang Yuan replied, "I'm thinking, because of you, I'm getting better and better."

Shen Du smiled softly.

Jiang Yuan thought: Germany, a place of fate.

He licked his lips and asked, "Shen Du, do you have any work next week?"

Shen Du shook his head lightly: "I can push it. It's not too important right now."

"Then," Jiang Yuan asked again, "Can we go to Neuschwanstein Castle?"

"Neuschwanstein?"

"Yes," Jiang Yuan said, "the prototype of the castle in "Sleeping Beauty" in the Grimm's fairy tale." Jiang Yuan's voice was soft and fluttering, "That's it, a princess who slept for a hundred years, and then her destined prince used a The kiss woke her up. The two fell in love, fell in love, and lived happily ever after.”
