Chapter 82 Win the Golden Bear!
Chapter 82 Win the Golden Bear!
"The Silver Bear for Best Actress goes to... Charlize Theron, Monster, and Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ave Maria!"
The expression on Li Bingbing's face froze, and then he forced a smile.
Even though I knew my hope was slim, it was still a little hard to accept when it didn't work out.
"It doesn't matter. With your strength, it's only a matter of time."
Yan Danchen next to him spoke to comfort Li Bingbing.
Li Bingbing said a polite remark, but glanced at Zhou Qing intentionally or unintentionally.
If she wants to win an award, she still has to rely on a big director like Director Zhou.
However, would such a great director often work with actors like her?
"The Silver Bear Award for Best Actor will be presented next."
This time it was Qin Hao's turn to be nervous.
Although Qin Hao tried his best to pretend to be calm, his expression did look unnatural no matter how you looked at it.
No one can remain truly calm at a time like this.
"The Silver Bear for Best Actor goes to... Daniel Hendler for Lost Embrace!"
Qin Hao felt the same as Li Bingbing, and experienced the thrill of a roller coaster.
But Qin Hao soon smiled with relief.
Well, this is only my first time making a movie, so I can’t be too ambitious.
It’s already impressive to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, so what else do you need a bicycle for?
"Don't be discouraged. This is only your first role. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Zhou Qing encouraged Qin Hao.
“I’m actually very happy to be in Berlin.”
Qin Hao had adjusted his mentality, and he responded to Zhou Qing with a smile.
"The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director is...Jin Cinderella for Samaria Girl!"
Zhou Qing's heart began to feel a little anxious.
Now there are only two awards left: the Silver Bear Award from the Jury and the highest honor, the Golden Bear Award!
In other words, "Departures" will either take home the Silver Bear or the Golden Bear from the jury.
The probability of getting both at the same time is really too low.
Zhou Qing was naturally eyeing the final golden bear, but who knew if he could get what he wanted?
"The Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize goes to... Daniel Hendler for Lost Embrace"
What the hell!
Zhou Qing sat up straighter, and his breathing became unconsciously rapid.
The same is true for Qin Hao, Li Bingbing, Yan Danchen and others around him.
Every body tensed up.
Damn it.
The only award left is Best Picture!
According to Director Zhou, "Departures" is bound to win an award.
So what’s the question about the result?
"The winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film is... Qing Zhou, "Departures"!"
boom!
Zhou Qing's brain briefly crashed.
Liu Dehua, Qin Hao, Li Bingbing and Yan Danchen also seemed to be hit by huge rocks.
After a full second or two, he shouted wildly with joy.
"Golden Bear! It's the Golden Bear, Director Zhou!"
"Director Zhou, we won the Golden Bear!"
Several people kept howling beside Zhou Qing, like idiots.
There's nothing we can do about it; the Golden Bear Award also includes their share of honor.
The Best Picture Award does not belong to one person, but to the entire crew.
"Yeah, we took down the Golden Bear."
Zhou Qing also quickly came back to his senses, with a look of genuine joy on his face. "Let's go and get the award."
Zhou Qing greeted Liu Dehua, Li Bingbing and others, and then led everyone to the podium.
Wow!
There was thunderous applause all around.
Zhou Qing and other main creators of "Departures" were all beaming with joy and held their heads high.
The word "proud" was just short of being slapped on the face.
That smile really couldn't be suppressed.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to you all!"
"Thank you."
Director Zhou Qing, as the representative of the crew, received the Golden Bear trophy from the award presenter.
"I am really excited and thrilled today. It is an honor for me and the entire crew of "Departures" to win this Golden Bear trophy."
“I would like to thank the organizing committee for recognizing “Departures” and the Berlin Film Festival for liking “Departures”.”
"I would also like to thank Mr. Qin Hao, Ms. Li Bingbing, Mr. Liu Dehua and Ms. Yan Danchen who are by my side."
"Without their outstanding performance, The Undertaker would definitely not have won this honor. This honor belongs to the entire crew of The Undertaker!"
"Thanks to all the staff on and off the stage of "Departures". Even though you are not here today, you also have a share of the trophy!"
Facing the eager eyes of the audience, Zhou Qing gave a standard acceptance speech.
In short, just express your gratitude and thank everyone you can thank.
Although it was boring and lacked any nutrition, there was still warm applause in the venue.
Click, click, click!
Then the entire crew came forward and held the Golden Bear trophy together.
The surrounding spotlights flashed continuously as the international media captured this unforgettable scene.
"After winning the Silver Bear for Best Director last time, Director Zhou took home the Golden Bear again this time. Now Director Zhou is truly a top director."
"Congratulations, Director Zhou."
After stepping down from the stage, Liu Dehua was the first to sincerely congratulate Zhou Qing.
Liu Dehua was not exaggerating at all when he said this. In fact, in Liu Dehua's opinion, Zhou Qing was fully capable of being on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng.
You have to know that the great poet Chen only had a golden palm statue made of gold.
Is the Golden Bear Award worse than the Palme d'Or?
As for Feng Xiaogang?
The box office results are impressive, but it has never won a major award of this level.
But Director Zhou’s “127 Hours” also did well at the box office.
However, Liu Dehua naturally could not say such slanderous words because it would offend people.
"Brother Hua, there's no need for you to do this, right? It's so awkward."
Zhou Qing laughed.
"What do you mean by this? This is what I really think in my heart."
Liu Dehua also laughed.
Qin Hao, Li Bingbing and Yan Danchen also joined in, and the scene was filled with laughter.
The atmosphere was so joyful.
However, they were interrupted shortly after chatting because countless reporters surrounded them.
As the winner of the Golden Bear Award, Zhou Qing is undoubtedly the most handsome guy at this year's Berlin Film Festival.
"Director Zhou, first of all, congratulations on winning the Golden Bear Award. How do you feel now?"
"Happy, excited, thrilled! Thanks again to the organizing committee for recognizing "Departures."
"Departures is Director Zhou's second time attending the Berlin Film Festival. Will Director Zhou continue to attend the Berlin Film Festival in the future?"
"If the timing is right, I think it will happen. I am now a good friend of the Berlin Film Festival, right?"
"Director Zhou has won a Golden Bear and a Silver Bear in Berlin. In your China, only Director Zhang Guoshi has achieved such an achievement. Some people put you on the same level as Director Zhang Guoshi. What's your response?"
"Director Zhang is an excellent director. I still have a lot to learn from him."
